Six great reasons to visit the Ice Rink
There's something about the ice rink. Whenever I go there, and it's not very often at all, I feel genuinely happy in a very child-like way. It reminds me of my childhood and when my mom used to take my sister and me there. And I firmly believe that everyone should make a point of going at some point or another. -

"The best musical of the decade." - Entertainment Weekly
The denizens of the hit musical Wicked waved goodbye to their Glinda and Fiyero on July 18. It was the last performance for Kristin Chenoweth and Norbert Leo Butz. The emotional cast played to an emotional audience, and then (after the fans filed out) they retired to the Gershwin Theatre's huge lobby for a sweet send-off, which included champagne, cake, speeches and a lot of hugging.

I've had several really cool things happen lately. The unexpected.
It's really more that I'm having a chance to practice my new attitude of not expecting anything but what HP wants to do. AND serenly preparing for taking action.
1. I took my truck in for an oil change and to find an oil leak. While the truck was on the rack, the mechanic showed me the severity of the leak. From the pattern of the "gook", I agreed that it was the rear main oil seal. He offered to fix it for $300.
I said I'd let him know. On the way home, I picked up all the stuff to fix it for $50. I jacked it up and crawled under to find out what tools I need. (Have to pull the transmission for this. Tough job for one guy. Done it before. I'm in the mood for it.) Poking around, I touched the oil filter. It wiggled. It had become unscrewed. I tightened it and fixed the leak for nuthin. Took the parts back.
I was peacefully prepared and ready to work. I had thanked God for the opportunity to find out if I can fix a car without beer. You know ... time for mechanic fixin' is judged as a six-pack job, twelve-pack, case ...
2. I had been procrastinating taking my truck in for an alignment. It was pulling hard to the right. First, I decided to rotate the tires onaccounta the front left was severely worn on the inside edge. Not a good idea to have a blow-out on a front tire.
I jacked it up and started on the front right tire. The wheel wiggled very slightly. So I checked the bearing nut and it was finger loose. I tightened it to spec torque and continued rotating the tires also tightening the front left nut.
It stopped pulling. Drives straight now. FREE FIX! Took the stuff back. I still owe HP a new tire for my procrastination.
3. My mom called yesterday needing money to have her car fixed. The power steering went out and the guy said the AC compressor had to be replaced. Ok, that's possible ... same belt.
I called him to see what else is involved. He said the AC locked up and broke the belt that drives the power steering. Perfectly reasonable. His $800 price is reasonable. My sib's and I are talking about how to get scrape up the money. I'm in Houston and she's in Dallas so it would cost more for me to fix it.
Anyway, the guy is really really nice ... totally unmechanic like. He mentioned several times how sweet mom is and he even offered to drive her anywhere she needs to go so she didn't have to make a snap decision in panic. He's perfectly willing to work with her to float the payment.
That really boosted my faith in humanity. There really are nice people out there. Kinda screws with my righteous paranoia, though. Thank's God! You can screw with that all You want!
Is this kinda stuff happening to y'all, too? Tell me, tell me, tell me. I KNOW I ain't special to Him. Gotta be more of Him goin' around.

Mod over at reddit.com/r/NOLAPelicans
I got Dale Davis and Cato...Hellz yeah lol
R.I.P. to HunnyB/FlyGirl
I signed 5 out of the 7 guys I targeted. I still want the other two, but its not looking likely.
Corliss Williamson, welcome to the team son!
Not as good as I had hoped, but at least I snagged Fortson and stole Shammond from the Lakers.
HR Sim League
Oh shoot. I signed Voshon Leonard as well. That leaves only one of the 7 I targeted this offseason.
And Ron Mercer?! And Robert Traylor! HOT DAMN!
And Jason COllier...? lol I retracted that offer. lol
Was hoping for Delk or Mercer, nice! My team might actually fight for an 8th seed.
In comparison to others, I'm having a pretty lame free agency period.
damn index still isn't working for me.
What's wrong with the index? I got some good signings this sim. Davis, Cato, El Amin, and Smith's back. I'm goood.

It was a brisk February morning and Johnny Tundra, the engineer from Big Timber, was on the road to Angela, Mont. The wind was kicking up a bit across the prairie, sweeping the snow across the highway in blankets of undulating white. The sun was bright enough to blind, and inside Johnny's International Harvester Scout station wagon it was easy to forget the outside temperature, failing to make it above zero.
Johnny was on his way to see his old friend Thatcher McGowan, the facilities manager at the Stony End Home for the aged. Thatcher was not a happy camper. Night time lows at Stony End were dropping to the seasonal norms of about -5 F to 15 F below zero, and there were four rooms that refused to heat at this low temperature.
"Why me?" Thatch's voice boomed out of Johnny's phone, just as the lanky troubleshooter was ready to install his new dryer vent as part of a perpetual remodel of his Big Timber bungalow. Johnny laid the dryer vent on the kitchen table.
"That you, Thatch?" Johnny asked, as the dryer vent rolled off the kitchen table and dropped onto the sleeping carcass of Gas Train, Johnny's aged basset hound. The dog responded with a howl of indignation and rolled over onto the copper tubing at his side.
"Johnny, do you remember when you were here last month and you fixed that balky steam trap--the one with the over-extended bellows that wouldn't drain?" Thatch asked. "Well, that same wing had a new air handling unit installed last summer, and it just won't heat. Everything was okay at first, but as the temperature has gotten colder, it's been harder and harder to get heating out of the AHU."
"I've checked everything," Thatch continued. "The heating water line, the strainer, the control valve, the coil, even the ductwork, and everything seems to be working fine. But the air coming out of the registers in the rooms is not warm enough to make the grade. We've had to move the residents out until the problem is fixed and the super is hoppin' mad. All I can figure is that there's a leak in the ductwork.
"Since the duct is cast into the concrete foundation, it's going be a disruptive job to dig it up, find the break, and fix it. But I don't think there's any other solution."
"Digging up that ductwork is going to cost you a fortune in downtime and labor," Johnny said. "Give me a few minutes to put on my Carhartts and warm up the Scout, and Gas Train and I will come over and sniff around a bit. We'll figure out how to get some heat into those rooms."
A little over two hours later, Johnny cruised into the back lot of the Stony End home. Thatch saw him coming and ran to the Scout so fast that Johnny had to hit the brakes hard enough to dump Gas Train onto the front floor, jowls first.
"This is bad, Johnny," Thatch replied. "The super called up his contractor pal in Wounded Bear, and he's on his way with jackhammers. If I don't figure out something, they're going to rip up the floor and pay for it with my maintenance budget. If that happens, I'm sunk."
"OK, then," Johnny said. "We'd better beat feet to those ice boxes of yours right away."
Thatch led Johnny down the main hall of the new wing and into the first of the four problem dorm rooms. The wall thermostat read 65 F, about 10 F below the normal temperature. The supply air felt cool, and Johnny's thermometer showed the supply-air temperature to be about 60 F--much too cool to heat the space to anywhere near the required 75 F, even with the fin-tube perimeter convectors heating at their full capacity. The other three rooms in the group showed similar conditions.
"The crazy thing is, these are only four of the eight rooms on the same AHU," Thatch said. "The supply duct comes out of the AHU and splits into two branches. One branch heats these four rooms to the north; the other branch heats the four to the south. The four to the south are heating fine. In fact, their perimeter heat isn't on at all. These four to the north are freezing!"
"Maybe we better go take a look at those warm rooms before we eyeball that AHU," Johnny replied. "Lead the way."
The two walked down the corridor and into the first of the four south rooms. The room was as cozy as could be. Johnny reached down and felt the fin-tube convector and then the air coming out of the supply register. The supply air was hot and the fin-tube was off.
"Now, let's go take a look at that AHU," Johnny said.
Once in the machine room, Johnny gave the unit a quick once-over. The AHU was laid out in a north-south orientation, close to the west wall of the machine room. The outside air came in through the west wall and was ducted directly to the far side of the mixing box. The return air came down from overhead and was connected to the near side of the box. The mixed air passed through the full-width heating coil and into the double-width double inlet (DWDI) fan plenum. At the AHU discharge, the supply duct split west and went down into the slab to the adjacent north zone. The east branch curved down into the slab and went under the AHU to the adjacent south zone. All of the ductwork was heavily insulated.
"The heating coil and control valve are working fine," Thatch said. "Just look," as he pointed to the gauges on the local control panel. "Coil discharge temperature is right on at 70 F. There has to be something wrong with that ductwork between here and the north wing. And we're going to have to jackhammer up this concrete to figure out what it is. What a pain in the saddle-bags that'll be!"
Meanwhile, Johnny had opened the mixing-box damper access hatch and scanned the dampers with his flashlight. He then motioned to his buddy, "Thatch, my boy, hand me that yardstick for a second." Johnny then taped his dial thermometer to the end of the yardstick and held the stick inside the AHU.
"Hey look, we don't have time for any games," Thatch said. "You better stand aside because we have to tear up this floor."
"Whoa there, cowboy," Johnny said. "Your heating problem isn't in that cast-in-place sheet metal, it's in these mixing-box damper blades!
"You're right in saying your heating coil is working fine. It is working fine, on the average, and the average temperature is all you can read on the control panel because the sensor is an averaging sensor. It senses the temperature all across the coil.
"The problem is, the outside air entering the coil on the far side is a lot colder than the return air entering the coil from the top. The mixing-box control dampers are opposed blade dampers, which allow for the best control, but the opposed blade dampers don't throw the two air steams into each other to promote mixing. The air streams are drawn directly through the coils without much mixing. As a result, the air on the far side is only heated to about 60 F, while the air on the near side is heated to about 80 F.
"These two air streams are stratified as they enter the fan, and they stay stratified through the fan. Surprising as it sounds, fans are not air mixers. If the air goes in stratified, it may well come that way. As it happens, the colder portion of the air stream exits on the west side of the discharge and the warmer portion exits on the east. The east branch goes to the south zone and the west branch goes to the north--hence your chilly north rooms and cozy south rooms.
"All you have to do is put the brakes on those concrete cutters and get some sheet metal workers in here instead. Replace those opposed blade dampers with parallel blade types and mount them to direct the airflow upstream from the coil. By directing the airflow upstream, and directly into each other, enough turbulence will be caused to ensure mixing and bring an end to this nasty stratification."
"Johnny, you've done it again!" Thatch exclaimed. "C'mon down to the shop for a cup of jake. In fact, I bet I can even drum up an elk bone for that beautiful canine of yours, too!"

I've never played with these, but my latest build, an Engel Typhoon, has my wish-list overwhelming the number of channels on my transmitter.
I'm using a Futaba T9CAP transmitter and I want to know if its possible to add a multi-switch module to it with a decoder onboard the sub to run things like missile doors, lights, sounds, etc. I've got no experience with these, and my research on the 'net has thus far proved to be frustrating.
Can someone tell me the following:
1.) Is it possible to install a multi-switch on the transmitter
2.) If so, what switch is recommended, and what is involved in installing it?
3.) I've seen some modules that do simple switching (on/off), and others that seem to be able to offer full servo functionality on the 8 expanded channels. Obviously I would prefer the latter, but the former would work as well.
Thanks, in advance!

soooo only 2 spots for germany already... mmmhhh
Poor Jessica, she must be mortified, she just cleaned the ice for the next teams.
I don't think the throws were entirely her fault. Like someone else said already he was throwing her like a sack of potatoes. It was truly bizarre. She was badly tilted in the air both times which was probably partly her fault, but not entirely. The fall one the SBS on the other hand... all her.
Better than being called the human zambonia
It certainly makes one wonder how well Kirsten and Dylan would have been able to do here for Canada.
ok... pls... how long does mr. wolfe pair skating??? 1 year???

"nice round up of the Karla set"
excellent and well written, i enjoyed the entire Smiley series even though technically he's not the main character in some of them and only pops up intermittently.
"loved it"
I came to this just after Will In The World an excellent biography and well known and then this novel is a perfect "continuation" if you will. It is hilarious at times and bawdy and plays with the WS mythology and history and is obviously as well researched and knowledgable concerning WS as a straight bio. If you can and you're a big WS fan/buff I'd say do the 2 together as I did.
"finally a thought provoking SF concerning "god""
this was a very well researched and scientifically based exploration of what first contact might mean and the possibility of a "creator", but it's not the silly biblical mythology but a much more thought provoking debate about evidence and purpose on a universal scale, not a tiny earthly point of view. 2 other friends really liked that aspect as well and I've recommended it to a 3rd and will others. nice to think about these things intelligently and not superstitiously.
"lackluster i feel"
this version seems so wooden compared to other versions i have or have seen. while it has the merits of the players enunciating clearly and so dialogue is reasonably easy to follow, I found the acting to be very uninspired and Macbeth has so many great lines and speeches but actor in Mac's role seemed at times to be reading from a page in front of him as if he was seeing it for first time. Macbeth is perhaps my favorite play and I have seen or listened to some interesting performances, but this was disappointing to me.
"high marks for this version"
I've recently listened to several of the plays and this Hamlet a few times in past couple of weeks and I have to say this is a very good version: well acted, nice production and vigorous performances that I liked for Hamlet and Claudius particularly. The man in Claudius role sounds like James Mason. All in all a good performance. & as much as I respect Gielgud his audio version here feels so slow and ponderous that I have trouble with it. I also like the Branagh film version very much with a couple of caveats, but accessible. All the plays can be performed with such a range of approach that it is informative to pick up on a different intonation/emphasis of even a single word that makes you think, wait a minute, I never realized that aspect before, or that's a new approach. Literally a "poem unlimited."
"wonderfully absurd"
In the 1st half I was literally laughing out loud and so hard that I had to stop my vehicle and wipe my eyes, I could not see to drive. I thought someone would come out and ask if I was all right or why I was crying. I found so much in the 1st half that was hilarious.
I really enjoyed the military bureaucracy idiots and paranoia and backstabbing etc. and the just plain absurdity at times. & it was neat to see how tidbits and seeds planted from opening pages filter through or even come back on someone later with a vengeance. 2nd half gets progressively more serious and whole novel deals with several big issues. Late in novel there is Chapter 39: The Eternal City, that devolves into a Heironymus Boschian nightmarish/hellish landscape. Yossarian is/becomes the conscience of the novel.
Parts of C22 make me think of Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse 5 & Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow. & Milo Minderbinder's Syndicate seems a precursor to Haliburton and modern war profiteering. Also wondering if Pynchon's Yoyodyne from V and GR is in anyway a nod to Yossarian's nickname Yoyo. He is yoyo-ing back and forth and not getting anywhere due to C22.
I feel the overlap/repetitious nature of some of the chapters lends a spiral structure, but I don't know what you could cut out without a complete rewrite and removal of characters as so many stories interlace and so many characters interact. I felt an affinity with Garcia Marquez's 100 Years of Solitude regarding this wherein the cyclic/spiral nature of the story that slowly moves forward but retraces elements reflects the trapped nature of the characters.
I agree that military double talk and cross-talk is a bit repetitive it was still at least amusing in 2nd half. But for some this stuff may get to be too much of a good thing.
There is more to it than just the absurdity too as there are many bits regarding life and death and ruminations and questioning of religion etc by the chaplain that are rather existential and I liked that. Some nature of reality stuff too maybe regarding his deja vu ponderings.
The 1st half had all the real gut busting hilarious stuff for me but there are 2nd half moments where I still chuckled. I enjoyed the absurd landscape Heller created even more than first time I listened several years ago.
"good historical mystery with more"
This is a very good historical mystery around time of Black Death in Europe. There is a murder mystery coupled with a tale of a traveling acting troop and a "defrocked" clergyman who joins up and gets involved in acting and writing plays, acting being one of the sins he is not to participate in normally. But he is drawn to it slowly and suffers some mental anguish over his choice to remain with them. There is more to his story that adds weight to whole novel. I like the atmosphere of the story taking place in medieval times, but more importantly it plays with the idea of how morality and religious dramas grew into actual dramatic creativity freeing themselves from shackles of repeating same old biblical tales etc. I always find items of that nature interesting: the speculation on how drama and literature developed from greek drama or earlier mythic rituals, into mystery and morality plays, and into drama as we know it today.
"Love VN, but this is not for everyone"
I love Nabokov, but I will admit that this is not one that will draw people to him. I think he is a genius, with some of the most beautiful writing and style, and Lolita was a revelation to me: the word play, the love of language, the literary allusions. But with Ada, we have his Ulysses, which makes it a little difficult to follow at times.
It's even hard to describe the "plot" as such; it is a biography of Van & Ada written by Van, with "interruptions" by Ada, & the editor at times, with perhaps some typos by the typist... Basically it is a sprawling chronicle of Van & Ada's lives, and of their love (very sexual at times) for each other.
I want people to read him and listen to his works, but I would start with the more straightforward and accessible novels: King Queen Knave, Laughter in the Dark, Defense, Mary, and Lolita, and get a feel for the poetic style and the way he uses different forms to reflect the content (one of the things i love) and then go on to more experimentally styled work: Invitation to a Beheading (a favorite of mine & which a friend also loved), Bend Sinister (great title, great book) Pale Fire.....
Actually, this novel (& Nabokov) makes me wish America had a more European attitude towards education and other cultures and then anyone could grasp so much more of it.
And listening to it, you miss a lot of the word play. I read it some time ago and liked it and caught some of the play, and I caught other things this time, but there is soooo much of it; literally almost every sentence has some play or allusion.
I think Ada is a bit like Ulysses. You can follow parts of the story, and I don't think it's as bad as Ulysses, but it is so densely packed with wordplay, and puns, and funny names, and allusions to myriad things from obscure sex words to other Nabokov novels and characters, to historical and literary characters and Russian, French, British and American literature to the point that almost every line or word has multiple lines of play woven in. In that sense it is like Ulysses.
That said, there are several moments where when you pick up on something it is very funny and I have been laughing out loud a couple times, but still so much got by me.
There is a web site Ada Online striving to annotate the whole novel and if you check it out just look at the first page and you'll see what's behind the scene so to speak.
Lolita is actually very much like Ada in this respect but the narrative "through line" is actually followable if you don't catch any of the play.
I was thinking today that he may be the most brilliant author I've read or heard of. the depth of his knowledge in so many areas is phenomenal, not to mention his discovery and naming of a butterfly and all that scientific lingo. He knows fluently enough to play and pun etc in Russian, French, English, with at least a bit of German, Spanish, Latin, probably Greek and touching on Old English & I think a little Norse in Pale Fire and who knows what else, and sometimes he's punning and playing across 2-3 languages within a single word or line.
It is rather daunting and humbling reading him, especially Ada and Lolita, but he is more fun to me than Joyce because you can follow so much of his stories to some degree. and looking up annotations and stuff for his work is like a school lesson in itself.
Ada is the most densely allusive and punning of all his work I believe. (it's amazing to me all the scholars who are sifting through his stuff and finding new allusions and connections and word play everyday in multiple languages, how can any one mind connect all this? If you're interested check out Zembla, a site full of VN info and links and criticism)
& he's always parodying authors and some come in for a rough time, as in this bit from Ada about TS Eliot, a favorite target : "…a banker who at 65 had become an avant-garde author; in the course of one miraculous year he had produced The Waistline, a satire in free verse on Anglo-American feeding habits…"
i like to study him because I learn so much. but there is a point at which with certain works, (and Ada, and Ulysses are examples and we can name others) the only people who can instantly grasp them and love them are scholars.
the thrill i felt first reading Lolita and Defense and other VN was a revelation really, such exuberant love of words and literature, and then I also love the way, more than anyone else i knew of, that he tried to find a form for his novel that reflected the content in some way, Pale Fire being the most obvious example of that. (as is Faulkner's Sound and Fury & I think Melville's Moby Dick and Kosinski's Painted Bird, and I could go on )
i think that with experimentation you still need a character to feel for, and lacking that you can become less engaged emotionally even though you admire the experimentation. I think that is one criticism of VN, especially his work like Ada, where the game is more important, at least it seems, than the characters. Lolita even with the game still enthralled me and I "connected" with Humbert and Lolita, they are great personalities that still dominate the game and don't get lost in the word play.
finally I have to say I'm not too enamored with this narrator; his voice is a bit too dry, and he doesn't get into the language and voices very well. I think Jeremy Irons did a magnificent reading of Lolita, and I wish they had found someone of that caliber for all of Nabokov. Some of the narrators are very good with Nabokov's work, but some leave me wishing...
"Chock-a-block full of ideas"
This is a very enjoyable quick book. There is so much packed into it that my interest never flagged. In fact, there are numerous ideas that could have generated at least short stories of their own, but they are only a part of this world.
I found myself thinking of many different novels that at least share an idea with this, enough so that I began to wonder how many authors and filmmakers perhaps read this and were influenced. There are moments like Stand on Zanzibar but crossed with Vonnegut. I thought of Inception, the Manual of Detection, Philip K. Dick, Matrix, with some Nabokovian wordplay tossed in.
Funny in places, thought provoking in others. For a novel written in 1971 (and translated In 1974) I thought there was a lot of great satire about the direction society was/is heading and it is surprisingly relevant to current society in many ways, and I think there are many serious cautionary items blended into the fabric of the world of the novel.
Here's one sample: Lubricrat: one who gives bribes. Derived from "greasing" of palms.
Tell me that's not applicable to our entire system of government, summed up in one word.
I'm not going to spoil anything, so have fun with it, I did.
Also, there's a movie coming soon, The Congress, which looks interesting, but from the movie blurb, it does not appear it will follow the novel. It may be they seized upon some element and developed something, we'll see. As I said, there are so many ideas which could easily be developed into some tangential story.
"liked other Southern better"
i didn't find this to be all that good actually. I liked Candy and Magic Christian which I read some time ago, and of course his work on Strangelove, but this seemed a little flat.
I kept thinking of Paddy Chayefsky and his dark humor and satire I think due to the Hospital film with GC Scott. The doctor in this is the best part, and even that could have been ramped up a bit. what this book lacks could very easily have been supplied by beefing up the doctor, which sounds odd since the story revolves around him, but something felt missing to me. it starts well and funny.
There is a very good courtroom scene early on where the doctor weasels out of trouble or at least tries to. That is done perfectly and is applicable to current times with all the double speak of corporations and politicians and I wish that line had been the whole novel. the alternating story fell flat for me.
it is short and so not a great expenditure of time if you want to try it.
"if 1984 had a serial killer"
I like the 1984 crossed with Dragon Tattoo aspect, with a little Gorky Park, and Silence of the Lambs, and Fatherland and episodic structure a bit like Red October with the movement in time and place.
this is a good mystery thriller/detective story and does it's job effectively. I can't rave about it due to fact it does ultimately follow the template of mystery/thriller genre (serial killer, clues, doubters, race against time) and though it doesn't do anything exceptional it does have some good characters, (couple of very good villains who are not the murderer). there are some formulaic aspects, but there are a few surprises along the way.
one thing i liked was that there are very few good guys actually, and a case could be made that there are none. this is partially due to the people being stuck in the repressive society which dictates their actions and controls their thinking.
actually, my favorite thing about this is the depiction of life within a dictatorship and the methods by which those at the top control everyone and information and the daily life struggle just to survive when you can't trust anyone. i think that part of the story was more engaging to me than the mystery part, actually there are a couple things regarding that i found to be a bit forced and too coincidental for my taste. but it is a page turner in many ways.
& it does seem at least to be well researched and author seems to be knowledgeable about Russia and it's political situation at the time. it appears to be the start of what might be a good detective series based in Russia of the 50s and 60s

but i'd still like to see error bars.
if you do multiple runs with the same kernel there will be some variation. if there is a 1% run to run variation, then a 0.1% kernel to kernel variation is insignificant.
also would be nice to see boot, and program launch times.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The leader of the Ohio House said Wednesday his fellow Republicans have concerns about the expense of expanding Medicaid, though he has yet to discuss with them whether the state should increase Medicaid coverage under the federal health care law.
Republican Gov. John Kasich is expected to decide soon whether Ohio should opt for the Medicaid expansion under the federal health care law known as the Affordable Care Act. The governor plans to make the decision known when he unveils his two-year state budget proposal on Feb. 4.
Should Kasich go for the expansion, the GOP-controlled Legislature would have to approve it.
House Speaker William Batchelder, a Medina Republican, acknowledged Wednesday that expanding Medicaid poses not just financial questions, but also philosophical ones for lawmakers who oppose the law and its mandate for almost everyone to obtain insurance.
"Obviously our caucus has concern about any expansion of that program simply because of the expenses," Batchelder told reporters. "It's just huge, and so we're going to have to spend time doing research and so forth."
Ohio had been among the 26 states that had challenged the federal law. And the state's voters overwhelming snubbed the overhaul's mandated coverage in a largely symbolic referendum in 2011.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld the heart of the law last year, but made the Medicaid expansion optional for states. The law expanded Medicaid to cover low-income people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,400 a year for a single person.
Ohio officials have been weighing the long-term impact and potential costs of expanding Medicaid against the possible savings.
A study released last week said Ohio stands to make $1.4 billion over the next decade with the expansion. But most of that revenue would come during the first years of an expanded Medicaid program and eventually level off as the state's share of the costs increase.
About 456,000 uninsured Ohioans would gain health care coverage by 2022 under the expansion, according to the study from the Health Policy Institute of Ohio, a nonpartisan policy organization.
Batchelder said he had yet to review the findings of the group's report. He said he planned to start focusing on Medicaid expansion in meetings with his Republican members, who hold a 60-39 advantage in the state House.
"I know the members are going to want to do the best that they can for their constituency," Batchelder said. "But the other side of that is, I'm not quite sure where it leads us. And if the federal government decides that they don't like us, then where are we?"

The cervix is the opening to the uterus (womb). The cells on the cervix can become cancerous. Changes detected early can be treated before cancer develops. A Pap test is a way to look for changing or cancerous cells on the cervix.
A Pap test is often done as part of a pelvic exam. It is done to check cervical cells for changes ( cervical dysplasia) that could develop into cancer. It can also detect cancer cells.
Talk to your doctor about when you should have Pap tests done. Professional health organizations have differing guidelines.
There are no major complications associated with this test.
Tell your doctor if you:
You will lie on your back on an examination table. You will place your feet in foot rests. The doctor will insert a speculum into your vagina. It will gently open your vagina. A fine brush or spatula will be used to wipe the surface of the cervix and its canal. The speculum will be removed. The cervical cells that stuck to the tools will be placed in a fluid-filled bottle. The cells will then be sent to a lab for testing.
The pelvic exam takes less than five minutes.
A Pap test is generally painless. You may feel some pressure or a small cramp when the cervix is wiped to gather cells.
The results of your Pap test are sent to your doctor within 2-3 weeks. Your doctor will inform you of the results. If needed, she will talk to you about follow-up testing or treatment.
After the test, call your doctor if any of the following occurs:
In case of an emergency, call for medical help right away.

text: Sep 6, 2013 14:59 Teacher ratings: Only 4 percent 'ineffective' Teacher ratings: Only 4 percent 'ineffective' Advocate file photo by RICHARD ALAN HANNON -- State Superintendent of Education John White, right, has announced results of the first year of new teacher evaluations. Baton Rouge Area Teacher Evaluation Ratings New Orleans Teacher Evaluation Ratings About third earn highest rank; 36% at top in EBR by will sentell| firstname.lastname@example.com Sept. 06, 2013 Comments Nearly one in three public school teachers got the top rating in the first year of Louisiana's new job evaluations, while 4 percent were labeled as ineffective, officials said Tuesday. The results show that: 32 percent of teachers, 13,676, were rated as "highly effective." 57 percent, 24,508, were rated as "effective/proficient," which is above average. 8 percent, 3,449, were rated as "effective/emerging," which suggests they need improvement. 4 percent, 1,608, were listed as ineffective, which could put teachers on a path to dismissal if they get the same rating in the next school year. Half of the new reviews are based on the growth of student achievement, which has sparked controversy for months. The other half is based on classroom observations, mostly by principals. State Superintendent of Education John White, who released the results, said one of the best things about the state's overhaul of teacher job evaluations is that the reviews generally mirrored student performance. "There is alignment between the student outcomes and the educator outcomes," White said. Seven of 10 school districts where teachers rated highest in the top two categories were also in the top 25 percent of student progress or student achievement, according to the state Department of Education. Debbie Meaux, president of the Louisiana Association of Educators, said the new reviews remain flawed, ensure only modest feedback for most teachers and are unable to properly evaluate certain educators, including librarians and special education teachers. White said one concern is the unevenness of the rigor of the reviews from district to district. He noted that just 2 percent of teachers in the East Baton Rouge Parish School District were rated as ineffective, which is half of the state average. But 24 percent of East Baton Rouge Parish teachers were rated as highly effective in the classroom observation part of the review, which is four times higher than teachers who earned similar marks in the highly rated Ascension Parish school system. "I would encourage East Baton Rouge to adopt an approach that has a high bar for classroom excellence," White said. Ascension Parish Superintendent Patrice Pujol said there is a reason that only 6 percent of teachers in her district earned the highest marks in the classroom observation category. "We really reserve that for somebody that is absolutely off the charts," Pujol said. Just 1 percent of teachers in Ascension Parish were rated as ineffective. The same category for Central was 2 percent; Zachary, 0.94 percent; Livingston, 2 percent and West Baton Rouge, 0.95 percent. However, the Baker School District had 18 percent of its teachers rated as ineffective, according to the state Department of Education. "Baker is struggling with its student outcomes," White noted. Only 42 percent of district students are on grade level. Superintendent Ulysses Joseph did not return a call for comment on Tuesday. The job reviews covered the 2012-13 school year. In the New Orleans area, 7 percent of teachers were listed as ineffective in Orleans, which includes the state-run Recovery School District. The ineffective rate in St. Tammany was 2 percent; 6 percent in Jefferson; and 0.68 percent in the St. Bernard Parish school system. One of the complaints about the previous job reviews is that they were too cursory, and that 99 percent of educators were routinely judged to be satisfactory. In this case 96 percent of teachers avoided the worst label, and both Meaux and Steve Monaghan, president of the Louisiana Federation of Teachers, questioned whether the new reviews represent the sweeping changes promised. White countered that the new job checks are more sophisticated in their feedback than the old "heads or tails" system. Pujol, who is also president of the Louisiana Association of School Superintendents, agreed. "Now there is more delineation," she said. Aside from the 4 percent of teachers rated as ineffective the 8 percent listed as effective/emerging means there is "a lot of room for growth," Pujol said. Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

degenerative neurological condition that affects the central nervous system. It usually begins in infants between the ages of three months and two years. Rarely, it occurs in teenagers and adults. Signs and symptoms usually progress rapidly. The earliest signs may be poor sucking ability, and the loss of head control and motor skills. These symptoms may be accompanied by loss of appetite, vomiting, irritability, continuous crying, and seizures. As the disorder progresses, symptoms may also include generalized weakness, lack of muscle tone, and episodes of lactic acidosis, which can lead to impairment of respiratory and kidney function. There are several different gene mutations that can cause this condition. Leigh syndrome can be caused by mutations in mitochondrial DNA or nuclear DNA.[1]

Treatment with the chemotherapy drugs bleomycin, etoposide, and cisplatin is the standard therapy for newly diagnosed advanced-stage germ cell tumors, but it does not cure every patient. Paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin are anticancer drugs used together to treat patients whose tumors have returned following bleomycin/etoposide/cisplatin. Prior clinical studies have shown that using paclitaxel/ifosfamide/cisplatin as the initial treatment in patients with advanced germ cell cancers may be more effective than the standard therapy.
In this study, researchers want to compare these two treatment regimens in patients with previously untreated advanced germ cell tumors. Patients will be randomly assigned to receive paclitaxel/ifosfamide/cisplatin or bleomycin/etoposide/cisplatin as initial therapy. All of these drugs are approved for treating various types of cancer.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
