7 million people will lose their employer-sponsored health insurance
(Congressional Budget Office, July 2012)
Employers slow down hiring therefore slowing down economic growth
(The Federal Reserve Beige Book, March 2013)
$716 Billion in payments to Medicare providers CUT
(Medicare Trustees Report, 2012 and Congressional Budget Office, July 2012)

Have them call Obama
#73418 Mar 22, 2013
You could have got the full truth from Fox news. They warned this was coming. NOw----Oh well, have a nice day!
#73419 Mar 22, 2013
You got to realize that this does not go into effect until Jan 1 2014.

ObamaCare taxes have already begun:
$23.6 Billion:Black liquor tax hike (Took effect in 2010) This is a tax increase on a type of bio-fuel. Bill: Reconciliation Act; Page: 105
$22.2 Billion: Tax on Innovator Drug Companies (Took effect in 2010):$2.3 billion annual tax on the industry imposed relative to share of sales made that year. Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,971-1,980
$20 Billion: Tax on Medical Device Manufacturers (Takes effect Jan. 2013): Medical device manufacturers employ 360,000 people in 6000 plants across the country. This law imposes a new 2.3% excise tax. Exempts items retailing for <$100. Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,980-1,986
$15.2 Billion: High Medical Bills Tax (Takes effect Jan 1. 2013): Currently, those facing high medical expenses are allowed a deduction for medical expenses to the extent that those expenses exceed 7.5 percent of adjusted gross income (AGI). The new provision imposes a threshold of 10 percent of AGI. Waived for 65+ taxpayers in 2013-2016 only. Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,994-1,995
$13.2 Billion: Flexible Spending Account Cap aka Special Needs Kids Tax(Takes effect Jan. 2013): Imposes cap on FSAs of $2500 (now unlimited). Indexed to inflation after 2013. There is one group of FSA owners for whom this new cap will be particularly cruel and onerous: parents of special needs children. There are thousands of families with special needs children in the United States, and many of them use FSAs to pay for special needs education. Tuition rates at one leading school that teaches special needs children in Washington, D.C.(National Child Research Center) can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Under tax rules, FSA dollars can be used to pay for this type of special needs education. Bill: PPACA; Page: 2,388-2,389
$5 Billion: Medicine Cabinet Tax (Took effect Jan. 2011): Americans no longer able to use health savings account (HSA), flexible spending account (FSA), or health reimbursement (HRA) pre-tax dollars to purchase non-prescription, over-the-counter medicines (except insulin). Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,957-1,959
$4.5 Billion: Elimination of tax deduction for employer-provided retirement Rx drug coverage in coordination with Medicare Part D (Takes effect Jan. 2013) Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,994
$4.5 Billion: Codification of the economic substance doctrine(Took effect in 2010): This provision allows the IRS to disallow completely-legal tax deductions and other legal tax-minimizing plans just because the IRS deems that the action lacks substance and is merely intended to reduce taxes owed. Bill: Reconciliation Act; Page: 108-113
$2.7 Billion: Tax on Indoor Tanning Services (Took effect July 1, 2010): New 10 percent excise tax on Americans using indoor tanning salons. Bill: PPACA; Page: 2,397-2,399
$1.4 Billion: HSA Withdrawal Tax Hike (Took effect Jan. 2011): Increases additional tax on non-medical early withdrawals from an HSA from 10 to 20 percent, disadvantaging them relative to IRAs and other tax-advantaged accounts, which remain at 10 percent. Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,959
$0.6 Billion:$500,000 Annual Executive Compensation Limit for Health Insurance Executives (Takes effect Jan. 2013): Bill: PPACA; Page: 1,995-2,000
$0.4 Billion: Blue Cross/Blue Shield Tax Hike (Took effect in 2010): The special tax deduction in current law for Blue Cross/Blue Shield companies would only be allowed if 85 percent or more of premium revenues are spent on clinical services. Bill: PPACA; Page: 2,004
#73421 Mar 22, 2013
WHat hate = make a person getting welfare get a job.
I guess Bill Clinton hated everybody. He installed a program to retrain and find jobs for those on welfare. I think It is still in effect.
You I find disgusting
#73422 Mar 22, 2013
Do you paid by the Dem-lib party... You should,,, You would be a good mouth piece for them.
#73423 Mar 22, 2013
There's a whole lotta misinformin' goin' on.
If you do not provide health insurance, the fine for firms with 50+ employees, is $2000 per employee. This fine will occur as soon as one employee applies for medicaid or subsidized insurance. The fine is actually calculated by taking the number of employees minus 30. So for 120 employees, the fine would be $80K. That could put a kink in the ole P&L.
Also, you are no longer permitted to provide fancier insurance to valued employees or use it as an incentive to motivate employees. The insurance you provide for yourself must be the same that you offer to your warehouse clerks.
But they will have choices! They can choose Bronze, Silver, Gold or Platinum plans. The differences are not is what's covered, the differences will be in monthly cost versus deductibles. Employees under 30 can opt for "catastrophic" insurance.
And Obama promised these plans will be less. Just like he promised to lower taxes and close Guantanamo.
You mean old capitalist! Don't you know that your real purpose is to provide jobs and health insurance? Making a profit is secondary, you meany.
You'll be in good company. Chili's is looking to eliminate busboys completely. I know of several people down here in FLA who are working three 29 hour per week jobs. No retailer or restaurant is offering full time jobs, even to managers.
Employees without insurance will have to get it from medicaid, and they will be subsidized. In fact, by 2019, anyone who makes less than $100K will be eligible for subsidized medicare, and there are no tests for assets. People with castles and Rolls Royces will be eligible for medicaid as long as their income does not exceed $100K.
So don't feel bad. Obama has everything under control.
Just drink the kool-aid. We're going to a better place.
#73424 Mar 22, 2013
Oh But it has. The cost of employee insurance is approx.$5-$6,000 per year. Yeah,, that is an additional benefit you get.
Didn't know that. By the time you pay all the employer taxes for each employee an $20,000 employee ($9.60/hr)actually cost the employer about $27 to $29,000 per year. Now with Obama Care that is going up a BUNCH. The question is,,, Who will keep their job much less keep their health insurance.
Since: Feb 13
#73425 Mar 22, 2013
Obama took it off last July.
#73426 Mar 22, 2013
It helps to know what is coming and going on in your country especially if it is going to affect you in a real way.(i.e Obama Care)
Dem-Libs check out all the other sites to listen to lies and NOn-truth tellers (i.e. Nancy Pelosi, etc.)
#73427 Mar 22, 2013
Because the dem/libs will require this...Its call Tyrany
#73428 Mar 22, 2013
Do you call the congressional Budget OFfice Far-RIght? From what I see, They are coming,, Bend Over dem-lib
#73429 Mar 22, 2013
Yes, you are exactly right but the main part of ObamaCare, employer provided health insurance is not in effect yet! The Exchanges are not setup so the regular Joe can go and get ObamaCare. Jan 1,2014 is when the Dem-libs feel the full impact. Then in 2015, the cost of ObamaCare will go up about 25-35%.. More people will lose out here. for all those dem-libs Bend Over hold on tight.
#73430 Mar 22, 2013
Thanks,,,, I stand corrected.
#73431 Mar 22, 2013
The $750 figure I used in the post was a calculated figure I did. I wasn't referring to the individual fine. I used $2000 per employee as the fine. However, the first 30 are excluded. That is a total fine of $40,000. Divide the total cost of the fine by the total number of full time employees and you get $800 per full time employee. You also get some tax breaks for actually offering health insurance to employees, which I do and will. I assumed another $50 per full time employee in tax breaks. That is how I came up with $750 per full time employee. Also, I am assuming no full time employee will opt to take my employer funded insurance because the cost will be much higher than the exchange insurance. I am assuming that based on my broker's prediction of what my health care insurance cost is going to be in 2014, a 40% jump.
My current work staff is 120 full time employees. I can change that to under 50 and avoid this tax all together. I would have to go to 49 full time and a heck of a lot of part time employees. I can't run my business that way. I will probably go to 60 full time and the rest part time because that mix is the best I can do with what I have to do in terms of cost. In my calculations, I used 50 as the full time employee number because that is the number where the fines kick in.
Right or wrong, this is how I am doing the analysis.
#73432 Mar 22, 2013
Ok Sassy. You are going to believe whatever you want to believe regardless of the information I post anyway, so I sort of expected this reply. I know the truth and I am comfortable with what I have relayed to you.
#73433 Mar 22, 2013
I see nothing wrong with you analysis. I simply did not see your calculations. Good luck! Your going to need it to stay afloat.

The new features offered by the beta include more recent packages and programs say the developers. Kernel 2.6.25-rc9, Gcc 4.3, AppArmor 2.3, Xen 3.2.1 RC1, Glibc 2.8 and PulseAudio 0.9.10 are just a few examples. Users can choose from a selection of desktops including KDE 3.5 and 4.0.3, and Gnome 2.22.1.
The new features also include a port of the Yast installation tool to Qt 4 and an optical rework. And: the OpenSuse installation is said to take just 24 minutes with the new release. Changes to the installation media and package management have made this possible, say the developers.
The project has published more information on the beta and the new features on this website. Images for installation media are available from the developer download page.

Twenty-six years ago, Lady Gaga was born this way in New York. But the pop star celebrated her 26th birthday on the West Coast -- and, by Gaga standards, it was a fairly chill celebration.
First on the agenda? A private spin class party at Soul Cycle's West Hollywood location. "She requested [Bruce Springsteen's] 'Thunder Road' because it's one of her favorite songs," a source tells Us Weekly. "Her friends filled the studio, and they had a blast."
PHOTOS: Check out Lady Gaga's amazing body transformation
For her birthday dinner, Gaga skipped the Los Angeles hot spots and opted instead for a low-key meal with her parents. "It was just a small thing with her family," the insider shares. "Her mother cooked."
Considering the singer's round-the-clock rehearsal schedule, it comes as no surprise that she'd want to take it easy on her special day. "She's been ridiculously busy, and has been working herself very, very hard" a Gaga pal tells Us. "But everyone had the most amazing time [yesterday]!"

Penguins' playoff scouting report
Rival players, coaches and scouts break down Pittsburgh's strengths
The successful return of Sidney Crosby changed everything in the Eastern Conference. Maybe the entire league. Because right now, it's impossible to find anyone around the league who has anything critical to say about the Penguins.
"For me, they're the beasts in the East," one NHL source said. "I don't think anybody touches them."
The only criticism comes from within, which makes them even more dangerous. The Penguins have every ingredient: strength down the middle, secondary scoring, elite goaltending and playoff experience. Maybe their best attribute is their evolution into a dressing room that holds itself accountable and is nearly impossible to satisfy. They may be the Stanley Cup favorites to those on the outside, but that doesn't mean anything on the inside.
"That just comes with the territory when you have the top-echelon guys. I don't think our locker room believes it," said Penguins forward Chris Kunitz during a Wednesday afternoon phone conversation. "We have a lot of work to do. Losing a couple of high-scoring games is something we can't do in the playoffs. If we want to win we have to turn that part of the game back on. We have a lot of areas to grow as a team."
To prepare for the playoffs, Craig Custance checked in with a number of NHL coaches, players and scouts to get their take on the pivotal elements of every playoff team, including the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Key strength: Their centers. Evgeni Malkin, Crosby and Jordan Staal give Pittsburgh strength down the middle no team can match. "They've got the best center ice in the National Hockey League, and it's not even close," an NHL source said. "There's no No. 2."

"Rise of the Guardians," the new animated feature from DreamWorks Animation, is a visually enthralling film based on William Joyce's "The Guardians of Childhood" book series, with Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, and other beloved characters reinterpreted as action heroes in a parable about the ongoing struggle between good and evil.
This gallery exhibition takes a look behind the scenes, revealing the innovative collaborative process behind the making of the film. Original artwork, both digital and hand-drawn, an exclusive time-lapse video presentation of in-process footage progressing to the finished film, and a revealing documentary that takes us into the DreamWorks Animation studio, show how the colorful world of the movie and its memorable characters were created.
An accompanying film series, with screenings every Saturday and Sunday at 1:00 p.m. and special holiday screenings, offers visitors the opportunity to experience the finest films from DreamWorks Animation, including the Shrek and Madagascar series, "Antz," "How to Train Your Dragon," and much more, in a theatrical setting. Note: The documentary "Creating an Epic" (directed by Patrick Hanenberger; 70 minutes) will screen continuously in the Bartos Screening Room from 2pm-close on weekdays and 12-6pm on weekends.
The exhibit is organized by guest curator Jenny He and chief curator David Schwartz, presented with support from DreamWorks Animation.
Magnificent Trees of The New York Botanical Garden - New York Botanical Garden
Through April 14, 2013 - Bronx
Larry Lederman, landscape photographer and member of NYBG's Board of Advisors, has spent years walking the garden grounds to observe and photograph trees and vistas in all seasons and at all times of day. Lush images featuring their diversity and visual impact are on view in the gallery space.
The New York Botanical Garden is home to more than 30,000 trees, some in woodland, some in groves, and some standing in solitary majesty. Magnificent Trees is lavishly illustrated with photographs by Larry Lederman and accompanied by descriptions by Todd A. Forrest, Arthur Ross vice president for horticulture and living collections at the garden. An authority on the diverse species present across the 250-acre landscape, Forrest details their fascinating histories -- from their vital role in Native American life and culture to their function in neutral territory during the Revolutionary War. Lederman captures their grandeur in hundreds of stunning images and portrays their diversity with photographs that reveal the trees in myriad fascinating perspectives: in landscape views that convey the garden's genius loci; portraits illustrating the architecture and profound visual impact of select trees; remarkable details of flowers, fruit, leaves, and bark; and impressionistic images, abstract in character yet beautiful in composition.

Looking for a warm and welcoming
Jewish Community in Hertfordshire?
You've found one!!
Rabbi Rafi's words to the community this week can be found towards the bottom of this page.
This year – 2015 – is a very special one for SAMS. Our community was started in 1990, which means that this will be our 25th anniversary year. Over that relatively short period we have grown from services in front lounges of members' houses to where we are today, at the very heart of the South Hertfordshire Jewish community. A truly phenomenal story.
To celebrate we will be holding a range of activities for the year ahead aimed at including all parts of our community and to celebrate all aspects of our community life. The events will be:
- A Silver Jubilee Jazz Brunch
- Silver Jubilee Quiz
- Children's 25th Party
- Silver Jubilee Garden Party
- Silver Civic Ceremony
- 25 Friday Nights
- Silver Anniversary Party
SAMS is a lively, warm and welcoming Jewish community within the Masorti movement, offering a centre for Jewish life in St Albans and the surrounding area.
As a member of SAMS, you enjoy many ways to lead an active Jewish way of life: through education for all ages and a variety of services, activities and events throughout the year. We are a community that supports each other, reaches out to each other, worships, celebrates and learns together and helps each other lead a better life … and we have a lot of fun.
Our website tells you all about SAMS. Whether you're a member, thinking of joining us, interested in Masorti Judaism or considering moving to the St Albans area and looking for a synagogue, please have a browse and then come along to see us in person!
When you decide you want to visit the synagogue, please call us on 01727 860642 or send an email using our contact form on THIS PAGE.
Rabbi Rafi's weekly words
Shabbat 27th and 28th March 2015
We go through our daily routines very often not thinking about the implications or greater meaning of those particular actions or moments, more than likely because those moments are simply mundane repetitions of actions we have done countless times before. Rituals are put in place to make sure that a particular meaningful or transformative moment does not pass without being marked in some way. Whether they are lighting candles on Shabbat or a birthday, apples and honey on Rosh Hashanah or champagne on New Year's, there are certain things that we do that transform a normal moment into a momentous one.
This week, in Parashat Tzav, we read about the inauguration of the Cohanim, the priests who will officiate at the Mishkan, the tabernacle which will become the place of centralised worship for the Israelites. The Bible goes to great detail about the service, what oils to use, what garments, how many times to wash and so on. The question then is what is so significant that requires this level of detail and pageantry? We already knew that Aaron and his sons were going to be invested as the officiates at the Mishkan. What then is the symbolism of this event? Surely it must be more than to confirm something we already knew?
Perhaps, it was to confirm something a bit more subtle, yet exceedingly more complex. The nature of our relationship with God up to that point had been a one sided. God performed miracles and we benefited. Now, the nature of that relationship is fundamentally changing. The covenant is being fully implemented and a two way relationship is being established. Now, we are offering to God sacrifices and in turn we are expecting God's presence and protection. This fundamental change is what is being marked by the elaborate inauguration rituals, not simply a new job for Aaron and his sons.
I pray that we take the time to mark those moments in our lives that are meaningful and not simply let them pass by. Whether they be joyous or mourning, take the time to contemplate each moment as important.
Shabbat Shalom,
Rabbi Rafi

1158 Tasting Notes
A little confused by this one at the moment. I'm not getting strawberry at all. I mean, not even slightly, and yet I can see little pieces in the dry mix. Huh? The cake's there, although I was thinking more vanilla than chocolate, so that's thrown me again. There's something rich and bakey about this, though, and it's kind of nice. I do find that this becomes astringent as it cools, though. I let it a bit on purpose in case that helped the strawberry to develop, but instead I just got a cup of bitterness, more or less.
I'm going to try this again later with some crystal sugar, I think. At the moment, though, I feel like I'm getting something wrong here…
Sipdown! Last two cups of this finished off this morning. Bad journey in to work — traffic jams on the main road, the bus was broken down when I got to the Park and Ride site. I'm waiting to hear the outcome of an interview, as well, so I'm feeling a bit antsy. The chair of the panel said she'd come and find me today if she was going to offer, but she hasn't as yet. I suppose if she doesn't that means I wasn't successful, but it seems a pretty cruel method of informing people. I'd rather just know. Still, fingers crossed.
This tea wasn't a favourite, so I'm glad to see the sample gone. It was good to try green rooibos in its natural state, though. I know better what I'm tasting when I come across it in blends now!
I tried my first cup of this last night, but I was so sleepy I don't really remember all that much about it. I brought a bit to work with me today, and made it to enjoy over lunch. I have to say, this is probably the best caramel/vanilla tea I have ever tasted. It smells like 52Teas Weeping Angel, but it has a much greater depth of flavour. It's almost like the flavouring is part of the tea, rather than floating on top of it.
I'm glad I tried Butiki's Premium Taiwanese Assam separately before opening this, because I feel like I understand it better than I would have done. The base tea is still the best assam I've ever tasted, and it's just even better with the delicate, creamy caramel and vanilla flavouring added. The caramel is rich and warm-tasting, the vanilla light and sweet. Both work beautifully with the chocolatey cocoa notes in the base tea, and it all tastes very natural, like it was somehow meant to be. I'm drinking this with a splash of milk, and that seems to really augment the creaminess and bring the flavours together. It's lucious stuff. I feel like I could drink it forever.
I'm on my second resteep of the leaves at the moment, and they haven't really lost anything. The depth of flavour in the base tea is still there, and the caramel and vanilla are as distinct and clear as they were the first time.
I've got a few cups worth left in my 1oz packet, but this is definitely one I'll restock in future. I can see it being a great tea for autumn. Another hit from Butiki!
SIPDOWN! Finished off the packet this morning, with a couple of chai lattes. I had a pretty frazzled day yesterday (interview, ugh), and felt like something relaxing to start my Friday. I added a spoonful of honey to the milk this morning, then added two tea bags, topped up with boiling water, and left the whole lot until the colour brightened from ghostly white to pale creamy brown. I'm surprised how much difference the honey makes, actually. It sweetens and adds something I hadn't known I was looking for previously. Yum, basically. Just what I needed this morning. This is a tea I'd definitely repurchase.
I love the scent of this one dry. It's so fresh and clean. It's supposed to be an earl grey, but I can't detect bergamot at all. Instead, the main note is grapefruit. It's almost sweet, but there's an underlying twang of sharpness, just like the fruit itself.
The bergamot emerges while this is brewing. Not too strongly, just enough to know it's there. The liquor was pretty dark after 3.5 minutes, so I added a splash of milk. Fortunately, it withstands it rather well.
I like this. The grapefruit is clear in the initial sip, more so as it cools, and tastes clean and fresh. The bergamot is surprisingly strong and a little bitter in the aftertaste, but the citrusy aspect pairs well with the grapefruit. I've not tried an earl grey quite like this before, so it's been an interesting experience. I think I'm coming to like fruit flavoured EGs, though, so this is definitely a tea I'd revisit in the future. My first Simpson and Vail, and a pleasant cup. Shame it's just a sample!
Last sample from Queen of Tarts. One thing's for certain, this definitely smells like apple pie. If I didn't know better, I'd say it was. It perfectly captures the sweet yet sharp apple and buttery pastry. It's right there in the scent. I wasn't sure about the green base here, but it really works. It's slightly vegetal and fresh tasting, and is itself partially reminiscent of tart, sour apple. The green tea combines beautifully with a sweet sugariness, and a hint of cinnamon, to make me think of the finished baked product. Sweet sugary baked apple flavour, and the sense of buttery, rich pastry. I don't know exactly how all of this manages to be there, but it is. It really, absolutely is. I think this is probably as close as you can get to drinking apple pie. It's just perfect, and really captures the essence of the real thing. Amazing!
Third steep. This has rather lost its flavour now, both in terms of maple/pecan, and even the oolong itself. It's still smooth and eminently drinkable, but I can't get it much beyond a pale yellow-gold now, and the only really discernable flavour is a weak mineral nuttiness. I'm pleased with how this one worked out, though — I can't say I haven't had a good morning's tea from these leaves!
Backlog from Sunday.
I like this one — it's another perfect autumn tea. Nothing suggests the colder months to me better than the scent of roasted chestnuts, so it's really evocative and oh so comforting. I gave this nearly 5 minutes in boiling water, and added a splash of milk.
To taste, the chestnut flavour isn't strong or overpowering, it's just delicately there in the background. It's nutty and slightly toasty, and quite rich tasting. The vanilla is more prominent, and adds a delectable smooth creaminess, especially in combination with the milk.
I'd have liked the chestnut to be a little stronger, but it's very pleasant as is. It's creamy, sweet, and nutty, with the slight maltiness of the black tea complementing the flavours beautifully. I'm glad I had the chance to try this one — thanks to Queen of Tarts for sharing it with me!
Resteep is almost as good as the initial infusion. I can taste more of the oolong this time, although I actually don't mind it. It's mostly still maple and pecan. There's a slight mineral taste to the initial sip, but that develops into something almost buttery. Then comes a strong nuttiness, and the rich, sugary sweetness of the maple. Honestly, this is almost like drinking maple syrup, only less thick and sticky. I'm glad I gave the leaves a second steep, because the taste is almost unchanged. Anything to make the remainder of my packet last longer :) I might go for a third in a little while!
First cup of the morning. I'm actually finding that I appreciate my quality teas all the more after a week's break. This one in particular seems especially decadent. Maybe because it's such a dessert tea? It really is like pecan pie in a cup! I'm going to go with a resteep of this today, I think, as I haven't tried that yet. I only bought a 1oz packet as I've not have great luck with oolongs…ever, really, and now I love it and I've not got much left. I guess that's how it happens sigh. I can just about taste the oolong here, but it's not at all overpowering, and it has none of the characteristics of oolong that I've typically disliked. Mostly, though, I can just taste maple and pecan. And it's gorgeous! Nuff said.

+ - SandForce boosts capacity for desktop SSDs->
Submitted by EconolineCrush
EconolineCrush (659729) writes "SandForce's SF-1200 is one of the most intriguing new flash controllers to hit the SSD market. Due to aggressive overprovisioning, the first wave of consumer-grade drives only squeezed 100GB of user capacity from 128GB of flash. SandForce has since dialed back the overprovisioning a little in its firmware, fueling a new batch of SSDs with more competitive 120GB capacities. As this review of Corsair's 120GB Force F120 illustrates, the increase in capacity has consequences for both longevity and performance. Desktop users looking for an SSD to house their OS and applications probably won't be fazed, but those contemplating the SF-1200 as a low-cost alternative to enterprise-class SSDs are probably better off with higher overprovisioning."

It's another example of science fiction becoming science fact. In laboratory experiments, one monkey was able to control the body of another monkey through the use of a prosthesis applied to the spine. The practical applications could one day to lead to implants that help patients overcome paralysis.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Scientists say that paralysis on account of nerve or spinal cord damage remains a challenge for surgical techniques available today.
Scientists are currently trying to restore movement to such patients with brain-machine interfaces that allow people to operate computers or control robotic limbs.
Honor Saint Agatha, patron of fire prevention and bells, by going here --
"However, we were interested in seeing whether one could use brain activity to help control one's own paralyzed limb," study author Ziv Williams says. A neuroscientist and neurosurgeon at Massachusetts General Hospital of Harvard Medical School in Boston, Williams says that "the benefit there is that you are using your own body as opposed to a mechanical device, which can need a lot of support and is not always practical to carry around with you.
"The hope is to create a functional bypass for the damaged spinal cord or brainstem so that patients can control their own bodies," Williams says.
A brain-to-spinal-cord prosthesis , developed by scientists, connected two adult male rhesus monkeys.
"I was inspired a little by the movie 'Avatar,'" Williams said. If you recall, the main character in the 2009 sci-fi film is a paraplegic. He connects his brain to a computer that helps him control an artificial body.
The monkey that served as the master had electrodes wired into his brain, while the monkey that served as the avatar had electrodes wired into his spine. The avatar's hand was then placed onto a joystick that controlled a cursor displayed on the master's screen.
The avatar monkey was then medicated so that he had no control over his own body. Computers then decoded the brain activity of the "master" monkey and relayed those signals to the spinal cord and muscles of the avatar monkey, which allowed the master to control the cursor by moving the hand of the avatar. A reward of juice was given to the master if he successfully moved the cursor onto a target.
"Probably the biggest challenge we had was having this happen in real-time," Williams said. "In theory, you can record neuronal activity any time, analyze it offline, and use those signals to stimulate the spinal cord or muscles. The trick is being able to figure out what the monkey is intending in real-time and then stimulating the spinal cord or muscles to create the desired movements."
It's a highly complex procedure to control all the muscles in a limb to carry out a desired motion. The researchers simplified this problem "by focusing on the target of the movement as opposed to which muscles and joints are used for the movement," Williams said.
Could this have sinister applications? The scientists involved with this experiment emphasize that the goal of this research is not for one person to control the body of another. Rather, when it comes to treating patients with spinal cord injuries, such as quadriplegics, "we envision putting a microchip into the brain to record the activity behind the intent for movement and putting another microchip in the spinal cord below the site of injury to stimulate limb movements, and then connecting the microchips," Williams said.
"This is just a proof-of-concept," Williams said. "We only had the monkeys aim for a few targets at a time - to be clinically useful, we'd have to be able to cause many different movements in space for fine motor control. Still, we think in principle that is possible."

Columbia Business School
- Faculty & Research
You are here
Columbia Business School Timeline
Columbia Business School was first founded in 1916, thanks in part to a generous gift from the banking executive Emerson McMillin. There were 11 faculty members on our initial staff, teaching an inaugural class of 61, including eight women. Today, as the School has evolved to meet the needs of an ever-changing business world, both our numbers and our reach have multiplied.
In addition to the Full-Time MBA, the School now offers several Executive MBA options, as well as doctoral and master of science degrees and robust Executive Education opportunities. Throughout this evolution, we have maintained an unwavering commitment to improving the world of business through cutting-edge research, innovative education, and an expanding global network.
Founded in 1916
A New School for New York
The University Trustees formally authorize the creation of a "School of Business" at Columbia. The Trustees unanimously name James C. Egbert as the first director of the new school. Egbert edits the first official annoucement of courses and instructors, which appeared in late June.
1919: School of Business Association Formed
The Voice of Columbia Students
The School of Business Association — a forerunner to the Graduate Business Association — is formed, providing the student body with representation and greatly influencing the School over the years.

They can visit patches of flowers up to 1 mile from their colony. Bumblebees will also tend to visit the same patches of flowers every day, as long as nectar and pollen continue to be available. When bumblebees arrive at a flower, they extract nectar using their long tongue ("glossa") and store it in their crop. Many species of bumblebee also exhibit what is known as "nectar robbing": instead of inserting the mouthparts into the flower normally, these bees bite directly through the base of the corolla to extract nectar, avoiding pollen transfer. These bees obtain pollen from other species of flowers that they "legitimately" visit.
Pollen is removed from flowers deliberately or incidentally by bumblebees. Incidental removal occurs when bumblebees come in contact with the anthers of a flower while collecting nectar. The bumblebee's body hairs receive a dusting of pollen from the anthers which is then groomed into the corbicula ("pollen basket"). (wiki)

130 years ago, miners at the Breitung Mine gathered with their families, to hand load the first shipment of iron ore onto a train. The 10 car train left for Two Harbors, and the ore eventually made its way to a steel mill in Cleveland.
Fast forward to Thursday, mining industry stakeholders gathered to celebrate the anniversary of that first shipment. The ceremony took place at the Breitung Town Hall, which is less than a mile from the Breitung Mine, Minnesota's first iron mine.
"Mining is in my blood. My grandfather worked in that mine. My daughter worked at the Soudan Mine State Park. And on my wife's side, her great-grandfather, grandfather, and father worked in the mines. I work at Hibbing Taconite now," explained Tim Tomsich, chair of the Breitung Town Board. "This is a fantastic celebration."
Several lawmakers spoke, along with the IRRRB Commissioner Tony Sertich, who read a proclamation from Governor Mark Dayton. The proclamation designated July 31, 2014, as Minnesota Iron Day, in honor of the 130th anniversary.
Representative David Dill referenced the "We Support Mining" signs that are seen across the Range. "I think they should say, We Live Mining. Not only does it support us, but we live it."
Steelworker leadership, US Steel's General Mananger of Ore Operations, county commissioners, and the park manager of the Soudan State Park all spoke.
Jim Essig, the park manager, said it's about the people, and the heritage. He's been at the park for 25 years.
Dill also said that there are many projects on the horizon for the next generation of miners.

Paul Raven of Killing Joke and Prong playing with Ministry in Ft Worth
I was fortunate to work alongside Paul on a Prong tour, Paul was the fortunate fellow to gladly tell me "Hey mate, did you hear the news??? Kurt Cobain blew his fucking brains out, isn't that great!"
Nirvana as you know heavily lifted the bass line from a Killing Joke
song when writing "Come As You Are." Killing Joke had just
lost their lawsuit around that time.
MINISTRY bassist Paul Raven was found dead yesterday (Saturday, October 20, 2007) in a private home in a small French village on the Swiss border after suffering an apparent heart attack. Raven (who is also known for his work with KILLING JOKE and PRONG) was in Geneva working with French recording artists TREPONEM PAL on their new release alongside drummer Ted Parsons (PRONG) and members of THE YOUNG GODS.
Born in Wolverhampton, UK on January 16, 1961, Paul Vincent Raven established himself with his work in the seminal post-punk/industrial act KILLING JOKE after he replaced the band's original bassist in 1982, recording and touring with the group throughout its most commercially successful period, performing on "Fire Dances", "Night Time" and "Brighter than a Thousand Suns". Throughout his extensive career, Raven participated in other collaborations, including PRONG, MURDER, INC., PIGFACE and GODFLESH. Most recently, Raven was nominated for a 2006 Grammy for "Best Metal Performance" for his work with MINISTRY's Al Jourgensen, with whom he had begun collaborating in late 2005 on the MINISTRY release "Rio Grande Blood". After a 2006 world tour with the group, Raven helped Jourgensen and PRONG's Tommy Victor pen the latest MINISTRY CD, "The Last Sucker", which is also the band's final studio release.

Awesome shot~
RIP Paul. It's going to be interesting to see where KJ goes from here. They're last album was excellent, so Paul's passing is going to create more change.
Isn't it odd though that Dave Grohl played drummers on KJ's self titled album just a few years ago? That always struck me as a bit funny considering the old law suit. It was likely that Grohl wrote "Come as you are" too! Lots of information about this here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_as_You_Are_(Nirvana_song)

A Day Late and A Dollar Short Poem by David Hart
'A Day Late and A Dollar Short' by David Hart
It was a cold dreamsicle night
A blackbird colored sky dripped
Rice Krispie snow bits down
On a cracked dirt ridden street
An egg yoke colored taxi shuffleslides
by, blowing smoke rings from its rattling
rear pipe.
I was worn out like an overused dish rag.
I sat spinning semi-circles on a
swivel stool at Joe's Open All Night
greasy diner.
An angry cup of coffee winked at me with
Mud puddled eyes and dared me to drink it.
A rag doll woman with shredded wheat hair
Sat sucking on a bent cigarette
Her smeared lipstick put on like a bad
coloring book.
Two yellow bug eyed eggs squinted at me
and said they'd
like to get to know my aching heart.
I gave a slight half smile to my
smeared redded up mouthed fellow epicurean.
Her nostrils flaired as cigarette smoke and makeup powered
fell from her boozer nose.
This could be my greatest love affair -
This one will last I am sure of it.
A couple of burgers on the once silver grill
now screamed their last thoughts on life.
Another day late, another dollar short.
