More Hospitals, More Choices Coming To Health Exchange
Consumers will have more than 50 plans to choose from next year on the Affordable Care Act health exchange, according to the New Hampshire Insurance Department.
During the first of two public hearings, department officials on Tuesday said five insurance companies will compete in the marketplace in 2015.
Anthem was the only participant this year, and it's decision to include just 16 of the state's 26 hospitals in its network sparked frustration even among supporters of the health law.
That will change in 2015, when every hospital in the state will be included in at least three insurance company networks.
All plans still need final approval from both state and federal regulators, and rates likely won't be released until mid- November.
More than 40,000 consumers in New Hampshire signed up for coverage through the marketplace (healthcare.gov) in the first enrollment period, far outpacing a federal government target.

An improved bundle former for corrugated paperboard boxes in which the timing of the lift mechanisms and the squaring plates is completely independent of the timing of the flexo-folder-gluer. Also, the stacking belt drive roll is mounted near the pull roll so its top periphery is below the path of box travel. This permits the folded box to contact the stacking belt tangentially, thereby easing the box's entry into the stacking station and providing an assist in squaring the box in the stack. The improved bundle former also includes simpler and more easily maintained elements.
1. In a bundle former for counting and stacking folded paperboard boxes received from the flexo-folder-gluer comprising a frame on which are mounted upper and lower pull rolls for receiving said boxes, drive means for said pull rolls and belt, backstop, squaring means and stack removal means, said belt, backstop and squaring means forming a stacking station and transfer means to receive the stacks of boxes from the stacking station, the improvements comprising:
(a) the collar of said upper pull roll which operably engages the drive means being larger in diameter than the collar of said lower pull roll whereby said upper and lower pull rolls urge said blank into frictional contact with a preceding blank to urge said blank into squareness with said preceding blank;
(b) a plurality of lift means and drive means therefore mounted in said stacking station adapted to receive the trailing edge of said boxes entering the stacking station, said drive means adapted to rotate said lift means at a speed greater than the rate of entry of said boxes in said stacking station.
2. The bundle former of claim 1 wherein the drive roll of the drive means for the stacking belt is rotably mounted on said frame near said pull rolls below the path of said boxes passing through said pull rolls.
3. The bundle former of claim 1 wherein said lift means form a helicoidal surface having an outer edge in the shape of a helix to support said boxes.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to apparatus for counting, stacking and squaring bundles of flat articles, and more particularly, to apparatus for counting, stacking and squaring folded corrugated paperboard boxes.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Bundle formers for paperboard boxes are often referred to in the art as understackers because as the boxes leave the folder portion of the flexo-folder-gluer they enter the bundle former beneath the preceding box and form the stack from the bottom. These apparatus have been used for years in the box industry to form square stacks of folded boxes. However, in the prior art bundle formers have necessarily been complicated in that they included numerous gears, chains and sprockets and the lubricating and maintenance problems asociated with them. Also, in the prior designs the timing of the drive belt, lifting mechanism and squaring plate of the bundle former must be coordinated with the flexo-folder-gluer. Loss of coordination can cause jams of box blanks which require that the flexo-folder-gluer and stacker to be shut down with the attendant losses resulting from the down time.
The present invention overcomes the foregoing problems of the prior art by providing a bundle former having a simple and reliable drive mechanism. Further, the timing of the drive belt, lifting mechanism and squaring plate does not have to be sequenced with the timing of the flexo-folder-gluer.
The bundle former of the present invention is comprised of the necessary frame to mount the drive means for the stacking belt, pull rolls, squaring mechanism, and lift mechanism. Also mounted on the frame is the kicker assembly, the constant speed drive for the bundle take-off mechanism and the overhead compression member of the take-off mechanism and the other elements which comprise the subject invention.
The upper and lower pull rolls which receive the box blanks from the folder of the flexo-folder-gluer are both driven by a belt drive at a common rotational speed; however, the collar of the upper rolls is larger in diameter than that of the lower rolls. The box, after leaving the nip of the pull rolls, enters the stacking station by means of the stacking belt which it contacts tangentially by reason of a vee entryway. The combination of the difference in r.p.m.s of the pull rolls and the tangential contact of the box blank with the stacking belt provides an effect which helps shift the box blank into squareness. Squareness is insured by the squaring mechanism driven by eccentric shafts which oscillate at a frequency greater than the frequency of box entry into the stack. The box blanks are forced into contact with the backstop and lifting lobes by the stacking belt drive roll, pull rolls and squaring mechanism utilizing timing belts and pulleys which eliminate all gears, chains and sprockets. The lifting mechanism which raises the trailing edge of the blank to facilitate entry of the following blank into the stack is untimed with relation to the speed of the flexo-folder-gluer. The particular design of the lifting mechanism is an helicoidal surface having a rotational frequency greater than the frequency of the box entry into the stacking section; thus, exact timing coordination between the bundler and flexo-folder-gluer is eliminated.
As described above, a box blank enters the stacking station beneath the preceding blank. As the stack increases in height, it is maintained in compression by means of a pressure weight mounted slidably on the frame. A counter assembly activates the kicker assembly when a predetermined number of boxes have entered the stacking station and the kicker assembly causes the stack to be transferred to the take-off conveyor where it is kept in compression. The transfer of piles is accomplished by the subsequent ejection of piles onto the compression section of the bundle former.
FIG. 1 is a side elevational view of the bundle former of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an exploded, elevational view of the belt drive system of the present invention;
FIG. 3 is a sectional view in detail of the drive for the squaring mechanism of the present invention;
FIG. 4 is a side view in section of the drive mechanism for the disk-lifts of the present invention; and
FIG. 5 is a front view in section of the drive mechanism for the disk-lifts of the present invention.
Referring to the drawings, the frame of the bundle former is generally designated as 10, and as disclosed above, the frames serves as support for the elements of the present invention. Mounted on frame 10 in a conventional manner is a motor 12 and roll 14 through which stacking belt 16 is driven over pulleys 18, 20, drive roll 22, hump roll 24 and lifting lobes 26. Stacking belt 16 forms an entry vee 28 for the boxes, generally 30, at the entrance of the stacking station 32.
Upper pull collars 34 and lower pull roll 36 receive the box 30 from the folder unit of the flexo-folder-gluer. Collar 34 are mounted on shaft 38 on air pivoted cylinders 40 which permit them to be rotated from position in the event a jam of boxes occurs. The size of the nip between collar 34 and pull roll 36 can be adjusted by means of caliper screw adjustment 38' which controls the position of shaft 38. Collar 34 and pull roll 36 are driven off drive roll 22 by means of belt 42 which also drives the squaring mechanism 44 through shaft 46. The specifics of the preferred embodiment of the drive system are shown in FIG. 2. Once a blank enters the nip of collar 34 and pull roll 36, it is delivered into the entry vee 28 of the stacking station 32 where it can tangentially contact stacking belt 16 and is carried over hump roll 24 and onto lifting lobes 26. Collar 34 is larger in diameter than pull roll 36, and since they are both driven at common rotational speed by belt 42, the overspeed of pull roll collar 34 applies a motion to the box blank which, coupled with the contact of the blank against the underside of the preceding box, shifts the box into squareness. The squaring assembly 44 driven by shaft 46 through eccentric shaft 48 forces the box against backstop 50 to insure squareness. Details of the drive of the squaring assembly are shown in FIG. 3.
Once the box has entered the stacking station, the trailing edge contacts in operable contact with the disk-lift 52. Each disk supports the trailing edge of the box on its chordal dimension and is designed with a 90� peripheral break into a helix for lifting of the box edge. In the preferred embodiment, four disk elements are used as lifters. Referring to FIGS. 4 and 5, the disk lifters are an helicoidal surface mounted on shafts 54 by means of clamp 56. The disk elements 52 are driven through gears 58 and 60. Gear 60 is rotated by belt 42' through shaft 62. Belt 42' is driven through eccentric shaft 48, FIG. 3. The disk elements have a rotational frequency greater than the frequency of box entry into the stacking station. Therefore, the rotational frequency does not require exact timing coordination with the rate of box entry as in prior art designs.
The boxes in stacking station 32 are supported by lifting lobes 26, and lifting disks 52. Referring to FIG. 1, the lobes are held in compression in the stacking station by means of pressure weights 64 which are slideable over vertical guide bars 66. The spring fingers 68 of the pressure weights 64 are located above the trailing edge of the box stack to stabilize and dampen its movement as the stack grows in height.
Counter 70, which is a conventional numerical counter, counts the number of boxes entering into the stacking station 32. One a predetermined number is reached, counter 70, through a conventional electric circuit, activates air cylinder 74, which causes kicker 72, FIG. 1, to push the stack of boxes onto the transfer belts 76 in compression station 78. Constant speed motor 80 drives transfer belts 76 in compression station 78. Constant speed motor 80 drives transfer belts 76 at a speed which is coordinated with that of kicker 72. When a stack of boxes is placed on flow track conveyor 82 through the action of kicker 72 and transfer belts 76, it is held in compression by compression member 84. Compression member 84 is designed to keep the stack of boxes in compression the entire length of conveyor 82 which provides an increased compression time and assures proper glue setting. It is obvious that as additional stacks are deposited on conveyor 82, the preceding stack is moved forward by the next stack along the conveyor.
While we have described a certain preferred embodiment of our invention, it will be understood it may otherwise be embodied within the scope of the following claims.

The administration plans to end the National Security Agency's practice of bulk collection of telephone records, and instead obtain specific records from telephone companies when approved by judicial order.
The White House on March 27 shared details of plans to end the National Security Agency's bulk collection of telephone metadata from U.S. carriers, and instead target only phone numbers approved by a judicial order, except in cases of emergency.
Under the proposed plan, detailed by a senior administration official on a phone call with reporters, the government would not collect and store phone records for the purpose of creating a big haystack to search for terrorist networks and possible threats, as had been authorized under Section 215 of the Patriot Act. The records will remain with the telephone companies, and the government could obtain records under the order of a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
The telephone companies are required by the Federal Communications Commission to retain billing records for 18 months. The new plan does not extend that time period.
In cases of emergency, intelligence agents will be able to proceed at their own discretion. It is not clear what would constitute an emergency under the administration plan.
Record requests would include metadata on calls made to and from targeted numbers at two degrees of remove, or "hops" in intelligence community jargon. That means an approved request on a single phone number or selector could generate the return of records of calls both to and from that number, as well as records on all the numbers called by those numbers linked to the original selector.
This will of necessity require the cooperation of multiple carriers to answer individual requests. Phone companies "would be compelled by court order to provide technical assistance to ensure that the records can be queried and that results are transmitted to the government in a usable format and in a timely manner," according to a senior administration official. That official anticipated that carriers would be compensated for their cooperation "in a manner consistent with what the government does today" with respect to the production of records in response to approved requests.
The "usable format" language appears to put some onus on carriers to comport with the parameters of the database the NSA is using to hold and query the data. Under the current bulk collection scheme, the NSA presumably has a process of cleaning and sorting metadata from the disparate carriers to render it usable and searchable in their own database. With the government switching to a model of requesting records on individual numbers and on numbers one and two hops away from the original number, compliance could require several levels of coordination among carriers.
Once a number is approved for targeting by a court, the production of records could be maintained on an ongoing basis, for a limited time period. It's not clear how long that period of time will be. It's also unclear whether the database assembled through years of bulk collection will be abandoned or retained.
"Having carefully considered the available options, I have decided that the best path forward is that the government should not collect or hold this data in bulk," President Obama said in a statement. "Instead, the data should remain at the telephone companies for the length of time it currently does today."
The proposal is strikingly similar to a plan put forward by the chairman and ranking member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.). However, the House plan does not require a judicial order to target numbers, substituting a "reasonable, articulable suspicion" standard for pulling phone records from carriers. Those suspicions on the part of intelligence community analysts requesting records would be subject to frequent review by FISA court judges.
Judicial review of targeted numbers is "one of the main attributes [Obama] would like to see in a path forward" on surveillance policy, according to the senior administration official, who would not specify whether the issue is a "deal-breaker" for the administration.
There's a movement in Congress to pare back the surveillance program more dramatically, led by Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wisc.) and Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), whose USA Freedom Act has attracted more than 140 House co-sponsors and 21 backers in the Senate. Sensenbrenner is a senior member of the House Judiciary Committee, which he and supporters hoped would have jurisdiction over changes to the Patriot Act. However, a March 26 parliamentary ruling allows the House Intelligence committee to have jurisdiction over the Rogers-Ruppersberger legislation, where it enjoys wide support.
The administration is interested in fast-tracking policy changes. The Justice Department is seeking a 90-day reauthorization of the current 215 authorities from the FISA court. The official on the call would not say whether subsequent reauthorizations would be sought if Congress did not update the law when the next authorization expires.

Readying for nerd prom, T.J. Maxx in Georgetown
- Michael Neibauer
- Staff Reporter- Washington Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
It's time for nerd prom, Washington's most hyped red carpet ride of the year. The upcoming White House Correspondents' Association dinner is a feast for the paparazzi, the casual celebrity-gazer, the media and the political set, as are the pre- and post-gala events.
And somehow I've managed to finagle a permit blog out it.
Specifically, per a permit issued Friday, eight tents and four stages will be set up at the Beall Washington House, 2920 R St. NW, site of the 20th White House Correspondents' brunch, scheduled for April 27 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. According to White House Correspondents Insider, a blog produced by Haddad Media and Bizbash Media, "Of course, it's invitation only. Like all the quality stuff in Washington."
Of course.
The Georgetown home, the former residence of the late Washington Post Publisher Katharine Graham, is owned by Venturehouse Group LLC CEO owner Mark Ein. Co-hosted by Ein and Tammy Haddad, this year's brunch will be held to raise awareness of the Miss America scholarship program.
Other permits issued April 19:
- 600 13th St. NW: Union Investment Real Estate, owner of the 240,000-square-foot office building in the heart of downtown D.C., will launch an extensive renovation of the property. The work will include replacing the entrance and canopy, adding a fitness center with locker rooms to the concourse level, building a new aluminum storefront on the upper level penthouse and renovating the restrooms.
- 3052 R St. NW: 3050 R Street Partners LLC, owners of the former Hurt Home in Georgetown, will remove a 500-gallon underground storage tank and any contaminated soil as part of its renovation of the property. The project, from a partnership of the Argos Group and Potomac Investment Properties, is scheduled for completion in July.
- 3222 M St. NW: Vornado Realty Trust acquired a permit for the retail tenant fit-out of the new T.J. Maxx at the Shops at Georgetown Park. Entry to the store will be at the M Street level, with retail space on the Wisconsin Avenue level. J Crew, meanwhile, obtained its own permit for miscellaneous carpentry work at its new Georgetown Park location.

Legislative scorecards are used to evaluate elected public officials based on voting record. Some scorecards are created by political advocacy groups with a focus on specific issues, while others are developed by newspapers and are broad in scope. Scorecards are meant to be used as a tool for voters to have a quick picture of whether their views align with a particular legislator's record.
Because scorecards can be specific to particular issues or general to a state's legislative term, for example, each report should be considered on its own merits. Each entity that publishes these reports uses different methodologies and definitions for the terms used.
An overview for scorecards in all 50 states can be found on this page. To contribute to the list of Arizona scorecards, email suggestions to email@example.com.

FAU is expected to sign at least four and as many as six junior college players on Wednesday. One of the surprises could be Dean College receiver Lucky Whitehead.
Originally published on
Chuck King
Florida Atlantic is expected to sign at least four players on Wednesday's mid-year JUCO signing day, and that number could reach as high as six. For that to happen they would have to get Lucky - as in Dean College wide receiver Lucky Whitehead.
East Mississippi Community College quarterback Quez Johnson, North Dakota College of Science defensive lineman Derek Butcher, City College of San Francisco offensive lineman Braden Lyons and Scottsdale Community College defensive back D. J. Geroux have all committed to play at FAU and are expected to sign on Wednesday, the first day junior college players are eligible to sign their National Letters of Intent.
FAU coaches will be waiting intently to see whether they will also received NLI's from Can Whitehead and Snow College offensive lineman Justin Manu.
Whitehead, a potential game breaker at wide receiver, has interest from several mid-level programs but is believed to have narrowed his choices to FAU and UConn. He caught 23 passes for 492 yards and three touchdowns while playing only seven games in 2012. He has said he doesn't intend to reveal his choice until a signing day ceremony on Wednesday.
Manu is the biggest long shot of the group. A 6-foot-5, 280-pound tackle, Manu committed to North Texas this season but the Owls did talk him into taking a recent official visit to Boca Raton.
East Mississippi Community College quarterback Quez Johnson, who committed in November, is the most recognizable name currently committed to the Owls. He threw for 2,805 yards and 27 touchdowns this past season. The NJCAA Region 23 Offensive MVP also rushed for 540 yards and scored 12 more touchdowns.
Johnson is expected to compete with Melvin German and Stephen Curtis to be the Owls' starting quarterback in 2013.
Butcher and Lyons should help FAU coach Carl Pelini achieve his goal of making the offensive line and defensive lines bigger and tougher.
Butcher, a 6-foot-4 defensive tackle who originally hails from Minnesota, recorded three sacks among his 73 tackles.
A 6-foot-5, 290-pound offensive tackle, Lyons chose FAU after originally committing to Texas-San Antonio.
Geroux, a 6-foot-2, 187-pound safety, recorded 69 tackles, including four sacks, and intercepted three passes during a sophomore season in which he earned second-team All Arizona Community College Athletic Conference honors.
All the JUCO players who sign with the Owls on Wednesday are expected to enroll at FAU for the spring semester and participate in spring practice.

Expo 67 theme song 'Hey Friend, Say Friend'
Expo 67 was the most spectacular of Canada's 100th anniversary celebrations. When the Montreal Universal and International Exposition of 1967 opened on April 27, it was a gleaming futuristic spectacle and a dazzling international success. On two giant islands in the St. Lawrence River more than 50 million visitors were presented with a vision of the future.
• Other catchy (and some would say irritating) songs came out of Expo:
- Something to Sing About was written for a 1963 TV special but became the theme song for the Canadian Pavilion
- A Place To Stand (Ontari-ari-ario) was the theme for a multi-screen movie of the same name in the Ontario pavilion. The movie won a 1967 Academy Award for Live Action Short Subject. The song was written by Dolores Claman, who also wrote the Hockey Night in Canada theme

Help in deciding what options on Geothermo
We are going to have a new home built this year. I'd like to go with Geothermo heating. I got a qoute and would like some input to what the company is offering me for the price they are charging.The home is approx. 2100 sq.ft. Should I go with the water heater to heat the floors. Or have the geothermal system do it? Is it worth the extra $1300.00?All of this stuff is new to me.
Install WaterFurnace E-Series (modelno.E306) This is a 3 ton unit with dual Capacity. The blower is an ECM motor. The umit will have a 10 KW electric resistance heater, and a hot water generator to assist the domestic hot water heater.
Install one 300 foot horizontal ground loop In the front yard. This includes the following:
One 300 foot traditional 6 pipe horiszontal closed earth loop with tracer wire for future locating.
Mount pump kit.
Core drill for penetrations.
Seal penetration.
Install & insulate indoor pipe.
Make all loop connections & flush loop with 20% methanol.
Test loop for any leaks.
Loop & foundation penetration has 10 yr. warranty.
The house will have 17 supplies throughout the house & 7 return air grills. The basement will have 4 supplies ran out from the trunk line in the basement. A return will be roughed in for future finished basement.One thermostat in the house will control the geothermo system. Thw unit will have a de super heater for domestic hot water. This proposal includes all registers, 3 bdrm vents & 1 drier vent no longer than 35 Ft. Total price $19,425.
If you add radiant floor heat to the basement add $2.50 per sq. ft.This would include insulation, tubing & pressurizing the system.
If you add radiant floor heat to the great rm area & kitchen add $2.25 per sq. ft. This does not include insulation. It does include the tubing, fasteners, Pressure testing & labor.
If you would like to replace the E Series water furnace with a Synergy 3 Water Furnace to heat the radiant floors add $5000.00. This would include buffer tank, manifold, controls, & start up the system. This will control both or either system.
If you would like to install a water heater to heat the radiant floors instead of the geothermal unit add $3700.00 This will control both or either system.
Loop size seems rather short for a horizontal liquid loop. Your horizontal liquid loop should be about 1,800 feet, 600 feet per ton  minimum!
Personally, I would almost always go vertical. Is your contractor IGSHPA certified? This is quite important to insure the result you expect.
I would encourage going with geothermal technology, as have we. If we had to do it again it wouldnÂt even be a question. Irrespective of price it would be geothermal. The only questions would be regarding domestic hot water, radiant in-floor heating, sidewalk and driveway heating/snow melting, pool heating etc.
Other than solar and wind virtually all other technologies are yesterdays answers; masonry heaters being the most sensible choice from the past.
For me personally, oil, gas, propane, pellets and air source heat pumps would never be discussed much less considered. A masonry heater would likely be the only exception.
Having lived with ground source heating and cooling has not merely made me an enthusiast, but in fact has transformed me into a Geothermal Evangelist!

DEFINITION of 'Weak Shorts'
Traders or investors who hold a short position in a stock or other financial asset who will close it out at the first indication of price strength. Weak shorts are typically investors with limited financial capacity, which may preclude them from taking on too much risk on a single short position. A weak short will generally have a tight stop-loss order in place on the short position to cap the loss on the short trade in case it goes against the trader. Weak shorts are conceptually similar to weak longs, but the latter employ long positions.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Weak Shorts'
Weak shorts are more likely to be carried out by retail traders rather than institutional investors, since their financial capacity is limited. That said, even institutional investors may find themselves in the weak-shorts camp if they are financially stretched and cannot afford to commit more capital to a trade.
The presence of weak shorts may intensify volatility in a stock or other asset. This is because they will be inclined to exit their short positions if the stock shows signs of strengthening. Such short covering may drive up the stock price rapidly, which may force other traders with short positions to close them for fear of being caught in a short squeeze.
Subsequently, if the stock begins to weaken and again looks vulnerable, the weak shorts may reinstate their short positions. Weak shorts may be constrained by the availability of capital, but may still have a high degree of conviction in their short idea. Heavy shorting activity would aggravate the stock's weakness, driving its price down quickly. This trading pattern thus leads to heightened stock volatility.
Traders often look for stocks with heavy short interest, which is used as a contrarian indicator to identify stocks that may be poised to move up on a short squeeze. Stocks that are heavily shorted primarily by retail investors – i.e. weak shorts – may be better short-squeeze candidates than those where the short positions are mainly held by institutions with deep pockets, such as hedge funds. While short interest for a stock is provided on a consolidated basis and is not categorized as retail or institutional, one way to identify retail short interest is by using trading software that shows major holders of the stock and block trades. A stock with (a) minimal institutional holdings, (b) few block trades and (c) significant short interest is likely to be one with a disproportionate number of weak shorts.

I just got back from a two night stay in London with Carly, my bestie from Uni, who I'm bridesmaid for next year. We had all manner of pre-wedding fun times, mostly drinking cocktails and DRESS SHOPPING. Oh yes!
We visited some of my favourite boutiques, Luella's Boudoir in Wimbledon, Blackburn Bridal in Blackheath (which I'd actually never been to before, but their Claire Pettibone collection was too beautiful to skip) and finally Fur Coat No Knickers near London Bridge. Many glasses of the fizzy stuff were quaffed, and many, MANY beautiful dresses were tried on. There were definitely some stand outs, and maybe one that's even going to be 'the one'. We both got butterflies and couldn't stop beaming from ear to ear so that's a good sign, right?!
This might be the most obvious thing I've ever written, but MAN, I love weddings. I'm so excited to be involved in planning her big day next November, this is going to be the most fun year ever!
Have you started dress shopping? Any butterfly moments yet?

"My fíance and I were un sure how the magnets were going to come out. But we received the order very quickly and when we saw them they were Perfect! We have had so many compliments on the save the dates and would very much recommend the Paper Divas!"
"I wanted something unique and different for my save the dates and that is exactly what I got! I loved being able to add pictures of my fiancé and I to males this extra special. Everyone that received one agreed with me and thought going with a magnet was super unique and they love the design. I plan on sticking with the theme and using the invites, thank you cards, and gift tag stickers. seriously people, this Is perfect!"
"I ordered these save the dates for my up coming November 14 wedding. I used three of our engagement shots and I couldn't be happier with the results. My colors are burgundy and plum and the color of these were perfect. The quality of the magnets is great and delivery was exceptional. I passed these out and everyone loved them. Some said that if these was how my save the dates looked they could just imagine how beautiful my wedding was going to be. They can't wait for my wedding. I am very happy with my purchase."
"These magnets were everything we wanted and more! Wedding Paper Divas' website was easy to use and navigate. I was able to personalize the color and text font with ease. I was worried that the pictures we used wouldn't show up well when printed on magnets but they turned out beautiful and very clear. I accidentally ordered the wrong saved draft and immediately called customer service to cancel the order. They were courteous and got everything taken care of quickly. I ordered the correct draft and they showed up at my doorstep a week later! Can't wait to send them out!!"
"I am extremely happy with these magnets! They look just like the picture provided. The customization was very easy! I received them a week before the date they provided and could not be happier!!!!"

Or maybe he just wants to be associated with a CLASS organization whose players don't throw cheapshots?
We love ya, JL!
No worries guys. Gotta learn the newbies somehow.
Bleedred, with Bryzgalov signing over there our power ranking probably went up 10 spots. Giroux and Briere are both with Eisbaren Berlin. Giroux lived in Briere's mansion when he was young because he didn't like the Philly party life, and Briere had an empty house after his divorce when his kids weren't around. You can pretty much assume it's no coincidence that they're probably living together in Berlin. Good for them.
And Glenwo, I actually live in Devils/Rangers/that other team's territory so I get used to being around Devils and Rangers fans. A lot of my best friends and ice hockey teammates are Devils and Rangers fans. Although our goalie has taste and lives in Philly
Believe it or not, one of my best friends is a Penguins/Steelers fan (I'm a Ravens fan too). I was in his wedding, he's going to be in mine next year. How we've managed to stay so close and not kill each other...not really sure. Haha.

Blogs Liberty and Power "Limping" Economic Growth?Aug 8, 2005 5:06 pm
"Limping" Economic Growth?
At the end of a story about Marines who dislike Kerry, the NY Post throws in this little comment:
In Harrisburg, Kerry noted that there was more bad news coming out of the financial markets yesterday, with oil prices reaching new highs and economic growth limping along at three percent.
"Limping" along at three percent? Yes, that was short of the 3.7 percent that was the consensus prediction by economists who make their living predicting stuff like this, but "limping"? Most countries in the world would kill for three percent annual growth, and that growth rate dwarfs the average annual growth rates throughout human history, even throughout the last 200 years. It is about dead average for US history. It's fine to say that three percent is "disappointing" compared to expectations, but it is still a robust rate of growth that, if continued over time, would significantly enrich any country who had it in fairly short order. Income and output would double in just under 25 years at that rate.
Now if "limping" was Kerry's word, then I suppose I could say that's just politics, but I'm not willing to let him off that easily. Again, disappointing and limping are two different things and some historical context is always useful. If the word was the Post's, well then, I'll just let that be.

Doesn't it depend on where you start?
The poor employment numbers suggest that
there is a need to "catch up" from the
last recession.
OF course, that approach requires that one
believe that recessions sometimes involve
production below capacity. And particularly,
that the last one did.

National Education Association Orders Members to Read Communist Guide Book
The National Education Association (NEA) is the premier teachers union group in the country. As such it is instructive to learn the sort of reading material that the biggest of all teachers unions tells its own members to study so that they can more adequately represent teachers in America today.
A look at the NEA website reveals a shocking recommendation to its members. The union that represents the teachers that we send our children to every school day suggests that its members read the communist-like manifesto of famed left-wing agitator Saul Alinsky.
That's right, the NEA wants its members, America's teachers, to become programmed by the ideas and policy prescriptions in a communist manifesto.
And while making the recommendation, the NEA also absent-mindedly seems to forget that Alinsky was an avowed socialist that wanted to remake America from a representative democracy into a communist state.
Here is how they describe Alinsky's books:
NEA recommends the following Saul Alinsky books to those members of our Association who are involved in grassroots organizing, especially Association Representatives (ARs) – also known as building reps or shop stewards – and leaders at local affiliates.
Saul Alinsky is widely recognized as the father of, and pre-imminent expert in, grassroots organizing, which is why we recommend that ARs and local leaders become familiar with his theories & materials.
Saul Alinsky is also "widely recognized" as a communist sympathizer, socialist theorist, and left-wing radical. I guess the NEA "forgot" to mention that, eh?
The left-wing tracking site DiscoverTheNetworks.org reminds us of what else Alinsky "widely recognized" for:
Alinsky's brand of revolution was not characterized by dramatic, sweeping, overnight transformations of social institutions. As Richard Poe puts it, "Alinsky viewed revolution as a slow, patient process. The trick was to penetrate existing institutions such as churches, unions and political parties." He advised organizers and their disciples to quietly, subtly gain influence within the decision-making ranks of these institutions, and to introduce changes from that platform."
THIS is the un-American agitator that the nation's largest teachers union wants to expose the teachers we send our kids to, folks. This is why these unions need to be defeated.

I was apprehensive about the hotel having already had a terrible experience in another hotel in Addis. To my surprise, this hotel would rate decently compared to all the other hotel acoss Asia and Africa that I have stayed in. Clean and well maintained rooms, good internet facilities, very good restaurants and a good location midway between the airport and city center.
