Press release from Business Wire
Paychex Reacts to the U.S. Supreme Court's Decision to Uphold the Individual Mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
Thursday, June 28, 2012
Paychex Reacts to the U.S. Supreme Court's Decision to Uphold the Individual Mandate in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act14:52 EDT Thursday, June 28, 2012
ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Business Wire) -- Paychex, Inc., a leading provider of payroll,
resource, and benefits
outsourcing solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses, has
been closely following the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
and today released its reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to
uphold the individual mandate.
"While the individual mandate has been upheld, questions remain about
how the remaining provisions will be implemented," said Martin Mucci,
President and CEO of Paychex. "Our team of health care experts closely
monitors legislation so they can help business owners navigate the
complexities of the health insurance system, and they'll continue to do
so as the remaining components of the new law are implemented.
"In addition, as one of the top 30 insurance firms in the country,
Paychex has the unique advantage of being able to leverage our clients'
payroll and insurance data to help them with requirements such as W-2
reporting of employee health coverage and new regulatory compliance
obligations. We can also help our clients simplify the process of
claiming the Small Business Tax Credit by providing details on their
employees' hours, wages, premiums, and withholdings."
The Supreme Court's decision does not bring final clarity to the issue
of health insurance coverage in the United States, and there is still
much uncertainty surrounding its long term impact on employer-sponsored
group health coverage. Additionally, the impact of this year's elections
on the law and its implementation is not yet known.
As the health insurance marketplace continues to evolve and new coverage
options emerge, Paychex will continue to help business owners understand
the options available to them and their employees, and what the changes
mean for their business, so they can take the appropriate action.

Department of Homeland Security Issues Warning on Medical Device Threats
Department of Homeland Security Issues Warning on Medical Device Threats
Brian T. Horowitz
Posted 2012-05-16
Medical devices and smartphones can expose patient data and also lead to cyber-security problems, the Department of Homeland Security warned.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has issued a warning about the role of medical devices in compromising IT networks and patient data. In its alert "Attack Surface: Healthcare and Public Health Sector," issued on May 4, DHS says medical devices that connect to IT networks may pose a threat to security.
Network-attached medical devices and mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets could bring cyber-security threats that result in the spread of malware and the loss of data, according to the bulletin.
The U.S. Federal Drug Administration
regulates the sale of medical devices
, but not their use, which could lead to breaches, DHS reported. "The expanded use of wireless technology on the enterprise network of medical facilities and the wireless utilization of MDs opens up both new opportunities and new vulnerabilities to patients and medical facilities," the bulletin from the DHS'
National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center
stated. "Smartphones with poorly designed security protections are frequently connected to medical IT networks and provide a new vector for malware transmission," DHS reported. Even some medical devices implanted inside patients could hold sensitive information and lead to theft of medical data and intrusion onto corporate networks. These devices could also cause Denial of Service (DoS) attacks due to their sensitivity to battery life, the report stated. "Implantable devices can present a real danger to patients through interruption of their function, tampering with their communications or by causing them to act or perform in a manner that is harmful to the person they are attached to,"
Mac McMillan
, CEO of health care security firm CynergisTek and chair of the HIMSS (Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society)Privacy and Security Policy Task Force, told
in an email. The fact that the DHS has issued an alert on medical devices shows that a real cause for concern exists, said McMillan. "I think it is a very big issue, and health care entities need to take it very seriously," McMillan said. "The fact that we have well-publicized security conferences like
Black Hat
, Defcon and RSA giving stage time to researchers and hackers who demonstrate and discuss the vulnerability in medical devices and systems ought to serve as a wake-up call." The DHS report mentioned a demonstration at the 2011 Black Hat conference in which security researcher Jay Radcliffe, who is a diabetic, was able to shut down or change the settings on an insulin pump without the patient's knowledge. He also discussed how someone can use an oscilloscope, an instrument that displays waveforms, to eavesdrop on a glucose monitor's transmission, the DHS reported. In another demonstration, a researcher at the 2011 RSA conference showed how he could intercept an insulin pump signal and direct it to give a lethal dose to a patient, McMillan noted.

You and your family will be in my prayers. -

I have friends who have made it 15 yers or more with proper medication and theropy. If he is strong of mind he can fight back. Once again how long and what age?
He was in my band. He was fifty seven when he was diagnosed. He was my base player. The music and strings actually were good theorpy but there were nights we had to cover him. We are his extended family. It's hard on his family but the boys in the band will always be there for them. There but for the Grace of God go any one of us. We wrote a number we play only when he is with us called "Hanging tough with Josie". He is uninsured but "the people" are his family, all ages and the bills get paid. We Americans are the most generous people on Earth. - john 2012/07/12 22:42:52

In the Book One Hundred Year Lie by Randell Fitzgerald he said the pesticides they spray on wine crops in St. Helnia CA have something to do with Parkinson. The Palo Alto Patch had an article about a superfund area needed clean up. It was written by Mr. Moss.

Keep in mind that when you define a collection filter, you specify a type of object to which it should be applied. Any objects in a collection that have a type other than the specified type will be ignored by the collection filter and included in the result set.
To create a collection filtering component, do the following:
Create a class that is a subclass of
Implement the
method, which is used to determine whether a collection filter should be applied given the execution context. For example, theMembershipFilter
would access a user's membership level and decide if the filter is relevant for that user. SinceMembershipFilter
supports basic and premier members, which are the only kinds of membership permitted by the site, this method will always returntrue
. If, in the future, the site permits additional membership levels, you would need to revise this method.Implement the
method, which is a method used to create an output collection and add the objects that meet the filter condition to it. You need to code this method to specify the data type of the output collection.It is recommended that you use the
method to configure the output collection data type to be the same as the input collection, barring certain restrictions: an input type ofatg.adapter.gsa.ChangeAwareList
creates an output type ofArrayList
, and an input type ofatg.adapter.gsa. ChangeAwareSet
creates an output type ofHashSet
.Implement the
method, which is a method used to create a context key object that holds the criteria value for a particular filtering instance. For example, the object created byMembershipFilter
could be an Integer object that represents values 0 (when a user is a basic member) or 1 (when a user is a premier member). For collections that don't have context specific values, this method should return null.Add other methods and properties as necessary. There are no other necessary properties or methods required for the
example.Create a component for that class, such as
. See the ATG Platform Programming Guide for instructions on creating components.
The shouldApplyFilter()
, generateFilteredCollection()
, and generateContextKey()
methods, along with several other CachedCollectionFilter
methods, are all overloaded methods with two signatures, one that includes a pExtraParameters
map and another that doesn't. The pExtraParameters
map allows you to pass additional parameters to a filter so it can do its work. The version of the method that uses pExtraParameters
contains the logic required to perform the given tasks. The method that doesn't include pExtraParameters
simply calls the method that does and passes in a null map. This use of overloading allows code that calls the original methods to continue to function properly while providing the flexibility to include additional filter parameters when needed. When writing your own implementations, you should implement the version of each method that includes the pExtraPameters
map, so as not to break this logic. For more information, see Passing Additional Parameters to a Filter (Filtering in a Multisite Environment).

Editor's Note
When a pair of bumbling criminals threatens to ruin the Bannister family's big Christmas vacation, it's Zeus to the rescue in this sequel to THE DOG WHO SAVED CHRISTMAS. Last Christmas, Zeus (voice of Mario Lopez) defended the Bannister household from a pair of dastardly burglars, but this year the family is spending the holidays at a snowy Rocky Mountain lodge. As the festivities get underway, Uncle Randy (Casper Van Dien) shows up with his perfectly manicured poodle Bella (voice of Paris Hilton), who forges an immediate love connection with Zeus. Their puppy love is rudely interrupted, however, when determined jewel thief Ted (Cain) and his partner-in-crime return to spoil Christmas for everyone. It's a good thing the Bannister's brought Zeus on vacation this year, because everyone's favorite dog is about to become the hero once again.

Vero Beach, Fla., April 9, 2012 - Piper Aircraft Inc. has named Duran Aviation, Inc. as distributor for its new airplane sales in Central America. Duran Aviation is a part of Company Consultenos, S.A., which is a family owned company that is involved in several areas, including automotive, golfing, and real estate.

P.E. Central Lesson Plan: Juggle Time
Suggested Grade Level:
Materials Needed:
Juggling scarves; bean bags; plastic grocery bags; yarn balls; tennis balls; tape/CD player; music of your choice
Lesson Plan:
Description of IdeaBefore students arrive at class set out all of the equipment mentioned above in the "equipment" section. We suggest you put them in hula hoops outside of the playing area. Best to put in hula hoops so students can see the choices of equipment they have.
When students arrive at playing area tell them that they can choose whatever equipment they want to juggle with. Instruct them that juggling does not have to be done with 3 pieces of equipment. They are free to use two pieces but it is best to choose like pieces of equipment to juggle with (i.e., two grocery bags as opposed to a scarf and a tennis ball).
On the teachers signal they are to walk and choose their equipment, find a good self space in the playing area, and start practicing their juggling skills. Please inform them that it doesn't matter your skill level, we are just practicing for now. If some have experience they may want to try the yarn or tennis, otherwise choose the grocery bags or the scarves. Put on some quiet music (upbeat music usually doesn't work in this case) while they practice.
Teaching Suggestions:
After checking to make sure they are following instructions move around the area looking to see their skill level.
You need not have done juggling before for this activity to work--you are just seeing where they are at.
Use teaching by invitation to allow them to choose another piece of equipment if they want. For example: "Freeze. When I say go if you are finding this piece of equipment pretty easy to juggle then choose another piece that may challenge you."
Do not allow students to run in this environment due to the large amounts of equipment around the area.
Don't worry about your own juggling skills. This will be a nice time for you to learn through some of the students. It is a nice skill to learn together.

UN must conduct a referendum among Tamil civilians to find out if they support one or the other party to the conflict. It's absurd to claim that Sri Lankan government led by an ultra Sinhala-Buddhist extremist 'liberates' Tamils. Next to former Yugoslavia, Sri Lanka is the other country that bombs, shells and starves its own people just because they speak another language, Tamil. Now Slobadan Milosivic is alive in Sri Lanka killing Tamils after bombing Islamic Kosovans.
While the Sri Lankan government has restricted access to foreign journalists around the conflict zone, there have been several accounts from independent sources such as UNHCR and ICRC, as well as Tamil civilians who managed to escape the conflict zone, which mostly confirm as true the official statements by the Sri Lankan Army and state controlled media.
It is now beyond doubt that the LTTE has been using the Tamil civilians as human shields, while forcibly recruiting children and murdering civilians who try to leave the conflict zone.
For the past few months at least, the Sri Lankan Army has managed the situation admirably well and with a good deal of professionalism. By designating a no-fire zone, providing pauses in the conflict to allow civilians to escape and setting up refugee camps to feed and shelter the civilians, it can be said that the Sri Lankan government has written the "rule book" on how to manage humanitarian crises of this nature.
While the world must continue to express outrage over the heavy handed tactics used by the government in curtailing press freedom, which includes intimidation and in some cases, murder of journalists, we must not resort to our typical double standards by neglecting to properly appreciate the extra-ordinary restraint by the Sri Lankan Army to limit the human suffering in this very bloody conflict. If anything they must be congratulated in doing well what is a most difficult job.
In the end the world, and especially the Sri Lankan Tamils, will be better off without the LTTE.
Peter Ratna and others have been long-term terror-supporters. They cannot stand what's happening to their beloved terrorists. Yet they dont care of their own Tamil brothers and sisters being held as a human shield by the Ltte, and killed if they try to escape.
But, this will not go on for long. Ltte terror-supporters, your days are over. Try some reality medication.
Please see this video of a British Minister who visited the war-zone in Sri Lanka:
The fighters of the LTTE are holding innocent Tamils as a human shield to protect themselves and their psychopathic leader, Prabhakaran. The Sri Lankan government is conducting perhaps the largest hostage rescue operation in history, to free these innocent TAMILS fro the clutches of the LTTE. Please be good enough to see the aerial video provided by a unmanned drone. You will see the LTTE firing at their own people who try to escape.
terrorist supporters spread false completely unsubstantiated stories here. meanwhile we are unable point out errors in the article. my two previous comments are yet to be published .
while i agree that this article is better than some of pro terrorist and false previous articles (whose speculative predictions completely failed ) published by the economist on sri lanka, this one is also full of basic errors than any decent journalist would have corrected before publishing.
i will confine myself to one for now
article says "at least 60,000 more (and perhaps twice that number) remain as hostages of the Tigers."
where does it get these figures? pro terrorist ngo groups have used same number in january even though they also claim that 70k + ppl have escaped since then and are in camps or released from camps ( which camps btw are accessible to un, red cross and others btw and not comparable in any way to concentration camps as terrorist supporters claim and this article tries to imply) nor does prewar population numbers + reasonable projections makes the figures probable.
fact is ltte by trying to use sympathy for large number of non existing refugees as a tool to influence "useful idiots" is west so that they will force sl government into yet another murderous ceasefire where ltte is allowed to murder at will.
The aerial pictures of the Sri Lankan army to convince the world of Tamil 'Civilians escape the Tigers' remind us of the UN Security Council meeting in which former US Secretary of State Colin Powell showed aerial pictures to prove Sadam Hussein possessed WMD. We still do not know where those WMDs are? Tigers survived among the civilians for the last 30 years and without their support they wouldn't have survived. 'Suicide bombing' and 'shooting the civilians' are propaganda lies that Tamils are accustomed to for the last 52 years of oppression.
I would imagine that holding civilians as human shields and killing them as they try to flee will not endear them to to their murderous 'freedom fighters'.
HOWEVER, the Sri Lanka government should be very vigilant over the next few years to protect Tamil civilians from intimidation and coercion from the remnants of the LTTE.
Let us hope that the innocent Tamils held hostage by the LTTE will be rescued. They are all Sri Lankans and it is the duty of the SL government to do so. I have no doubt that the brave soliders will do just that.
At last, the Economist decides to publish one article that is not spewing hatred towards the SL government! Over the years, the so called West has looked the other way when the LTTE was going on killing rampages. After all, for the Whites (supported fully by the media including the Economist), the death of innocent Sri Lankans is not a big deal. Life is cheap after all in that part of the world! If the lives lost were white, one could have seen the outrage. There would have been 100 Guantanamo Bays!
The Western media has been making a lot of noise to prop up the terrorists, so that the West's agenda of divide and rule be maintained; that the SL government be confined to a position of weakness.
Perhaps now, the West has given up. Perhaps they are seeing the beginning of the end of their imperialism. Let us hope so!
This report, compared to April 9th "Slaughter in Sri Lanka' is significantly more unbiased. Thank you Economist editors for taking a more moderated approach.
In response to comments about bias, while agreeing that this report is primarily based on GoSL, past reports were purely based on Tamil.net or similar pro LTTE reports. I assume, any news which decries the government of SL and supports the LTTE is "professional" and unbiased then?
Same question posed in another way: How do you know, so many people were killed? that the army shelled the safe zone? An 'unnamed' doctors report?
The Gov is not without many faults, and has to strike a balance to allow some media or diplomats to get into the North to verify these reports.
The GoSL does not forcibly recruit children to fight, nor has it demanded every family provide one person to fight for the Government, on the other hand the LTTE has done all this and more.
Appeal to Tamil diaspora, stop funding the LTTE, send your money to the ICRC, or some other independent body that is helping your fellow citizens.
Here are some excerpts from a recent article from The Australian:
For the foreign correspondent, everything in Sri Lanka begins and ends with the armed forces: where one can travel; what one can film; even to whom one can speak. And dealing with the military is like travelling through the looking glass, although a blunter analogy would be with George Orwell's 1984.
They lie brazenly and the lies aren't even credible.
The UN may tell you that at least 2000 civilians have been killed in fighting since January, but Sri Lanka's Secretary of Defence, Gotabaya Rajapaksa, says there are none. Absolutely none. "If you want to believe me, believe me, no civilian casualties.
PERFECT examples of Sri-Lankan democracy in ACTION!
Once upon a time, The Economist used to be the beacon of professional journalism.
Today, perhaps thanks to the recession, it is a gutter press unworthy of ad-filled web pages.
This report is based purely on reports from the government of Sri Lanka, a party to the conflict.
Given Sri Lanka has taken extreme measures to block independent media, international aid organisations, rights groups and even the UN from the region, one would be extra sceptical about any allegations coming from that party.
Not so for our intern writer at The Economist. The golden words of the government of Sri Lanka, which even news agencies say is known to exaggerate claims, are worthy of every column inch of regurgitation.
Lame attempt at an authoritative report.
Sri Lanka's government has banned The Economist, along with all independent media, aid agencies and the US, from Tamil areas.
How do you then know of "escapes" and "hostages"?
i find it sickening to hear other countries esp usa, uk who claim to be fighing against terriorism, ask sri lanka to negotiate with the LTTE and declare ceasefire.
would they accept ceasefire if bin laden or taliban offer them in afganistan. whatever, it is terrorism must be extermited whatever the cause may be. don't give chance to terrorist. eliminate them.
Those who thought that Sri Lanka can be bullied into conceding to terrorism got it all wrong. We have proved that terrorism can be defeated without external support. LTTE was well funded by its diaspora and Norway, and we defeat all myths about its invincibility.
Now we will proceed to grant freedom to all and put an end to those who think that violence is the way express their views. But there will be others who continue to disparage the govt no matter what good deeds are accomplished. They are terrorists nevertheless.
The challenge for Tamils after engaging in violence is to learn to accept their minority status, drop weapons and live in peace. No country will permit a 3.5% community to claim 40% of the land, we have just proved it.
I don't know how can someone support LTTE. They were instrumental in murdering of an Indian PM also. Regularly they recruit children and send them as suicide bombers
It is a wishful thinking to assume that the ethnic conflict will end soon.
Successive Sri-Lankan Governments have failed to deal with the root causes of the conflict since the 1950s. Until the government offers an acceptable solution to the Tamils, the conflict will continue.
Tamils resorted to violence from 1979 in response to SL Govt's thuggish behaviour since the 1950s and after all the democratic paths were closed to them.
Sri-Lanka is now hardly a democratic country.
Here are some facts:
1. The President is also the Finance Minister, Defence Minister and Media Minister!
2. The President and his three unelected brothers control about 80% of the country's budget.
3. Sri Lanka was recently given the LOWEST press freedom rating of any democratic country in the world by the international pressure group, Reporters Without Borders.
4. Sri-Lankan journalist's (JS Tissainayagam) arrest and his continued detention since March 2008 show how the Sri-Lankan Govt is using the Prevention of Terrorism Act to silence journalists and others who criticize the Govt. The exercise of free speech rights by Tamils and others who disagree with the SL Govt is a criminal offence!
If the government has nothing to HIDE, let the world see what is really happening. What we have been seeing is one-sided stories put out by one of the worst governments in the world.
Here is a link from Human Rights Watch:
Here is a link to see one of Rajapaksa Brothers' stellar performances:
The UN has estimated the number of deaths and injured people without any base or any reliable source according to them.
I do not know why UN has picked up these baseless numbers just for Srilanka - 4,500 deaths and 12,000 wounded people. Or may be to support proscribed terrorist organization - LTTE; and to tarnish the image of democratically elected Srilankan government.
UN was good at least in Iraq to get these numbers from Health Department of Iraq.
Please do not mislead the world!!!!

Hue in a day
Trip Start
Aug 04, 2011
Trip End
Jan 04, 2012
Where I stayed
Hue Backpackers Hostel
Firstly, My Bag was soaked to the most absolute thorough extent possible. I opened my what appeared to be slightly damp bag to find some wet clothes immediately under the top. Damnit. The next layer of clothes must be protected. Nope. Everything, everything wet through. The only 3 dry objects in my bag ironically were my flannel, my towel (every traveler has to be able to rely on their towel - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) and thankfully the small package Kate's mum had asked me to carry for Kate's birthday (we'll return to this later). I had to put on some wet shorts and a wet t-shirt and sit outside to dry while everything else I owned was hung up from every possible nook and cranny in our minuscule room. The afternoon of our arrival was therefore a bit of a write off.
To top this off;
"Kate, make sure you put everything valuable in your hand luggage before we get onto the sleeper bus"...."Yes I will"...."As long as you do not leave your mobile phone in the top of your main bag, within reach of any cheeky little rascals that may wish to check all your things are alright during the trip". "Nope, that will definitely not be an issue"...."that's good, as I would hate to arrive in Hue and find that one of those cheeky little rascals wandering hands would have a new phone in them and you'd be a little disgruntled". The last few sentences are a little abstract however the first sentence and the first response are entirely accurate.
Kate's phone was nowhere to be found. The bag appeared to be open when she picked it up off the bus but didn't bat an eyelid at the time. It may have just been loose and the phone fell out, it was clear that the journey was bumpy. It was clear that the bus drove through floods of water. As we also stopped many times during the night it is also clear that someone may have pilfered the phone at one of those stops. It was an annoyance we could have done without. Both tired, this sort of thing just makes you both a little stressed and so after the initial arguments were out of the way we once again realised you can't change what has already happened - just try and recover the situation as much as possible. Kate got in contact with 3, cancelled her sim and asked them to maintain her number for future use. In theory she'll still be on her number when we return to the UK.
In Hue, we reserved a full day to wander the streets. I have got the hang of letting all the cyclo drivers know that we are keen on our exercise and hence we walk everywhere and they seem to like the banter. We walked from the hostel and investigated a few ATMs for some cash (I have since realised one of these transactions which was rejected at the ATM has actually been charged to my account-gits) and then headed on to the citadel. Hue was heavily bombed during the Vietnam (or 'American' as it is called here) War and a lot of the buildings were damaged but the main walls and some of the buildings are still standing. The Citadel and palace are quite impressive and as this is a lot less visited, the place is not at all busy. We took in a show inside the Citadel which we only found because of the lonely planets guide (off the beaten track) and then strolled out the back gate of the Citadel into some of Hue's more residential streets. On the way we found two elephants that seemed to be chained up waiting for something - it very much felt like we were not meant to be where we were - but nobody seemed to care.
The residential streets give you a taste of the real Vietnam; people sitting out drinking draught beers, games being played in the streets, motos zipping around everywhere. Nobody seemed to care we were there, which is always a nice thing. On the way back to the hostel we popped into Hue museum which is just a collection of different bits and pieces not really linked together. There are a few totally uncared for tanks and guns outside and the worst curated collection of items we have seen to date inside. People in Hue just don't care for museums. Either that or they don't care for American weapons of war - I think this is closer to the point. The overgrown feel to the place meant we spent about 20 minutes looking at the tanks and 5 minutes looking at bronzes etc before we started to head back. A few kids playing football caught my attention as in Vietnam style they were playing 'bicycles for goalposts' and playing in the dirt barefooted. All credit.
A couple of nice western meals in some local restaurants were only disturbed by the lunar festival, and that was more interesting than disturbing. On the festival a load of kids tour the town raising money for their foundations etc by playing music (or so I found out by the waiter), but in reality they drive around in lorries, cheering, banging drums. The kids don't drive the lorries in case you were wondering. It added some colour to the streets and its all in good humour, as long as they stop playing the drums after a while and bugger off somewhere else.
Hue is worth visiting, but you don't need to spend long there - which is good, because we didn't.
Our next step of the journey is a short hop south to Hoi An which has been recommended by nearly everyone - including Cian and Jen who we last met in Chengdu. We have been exchanging emails since then and are soon due to cross paths.

usability & language: inconsistent terms

Hi All,
I am an all-round interaction designer and I am to busy to deal the language & usability part while improving big large existing products on small usability features (quickwins).
But I find it also rather important, but also so time consuming and I am not specialized in that kind of stuff. I am the only interaction designer and there is a documentalist making tutorials. He bumps very often against hazy language constructions. He is quite busy also.
What would you do? has anyone been in the same situation.

Associate Justice Ireland Encourages Students
Posted November 20, 2009
The Color of Law Roundtable Discussion series hosted Associate Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Roderick Ireland on November 16. Ireland discussed his experiences and accomplishments with the campus community. He advised students to always believe in themselves and to stay knowledgeable in a diverse range of topics.
"You have to be open to wherever your path takes you and to do that you have to have as broad a background as you can. I would say to a student, take as many different courses as you can. Learn as much as you can as about as much as you can opposed to just limiting yourself to one particular area," said Ireland. He continued pointing out that "seldom do people have straight career paths that take them from this point to that point to their ultimate goal. Each stop along the journey adds to the sum total of the person's life experience and who they are. Have people in your life you can talk to and who have the same interest and goals as you do. Whatever you do, don't give up on yourself."
The next speaker in the Color of Law Roundtable Discussion series will be Cynthia Tucker, labor relations specialist at the Executive Office of Health and Human Services. Tucker's talk will take place January 25 in the Blake Law Center at noon.

Emil had little help in the Bonus Puzzle of tonight's episode of Wheel of Fortune, with none of his guessed letters showing up. Only two of the provided letters popped up, too. But somehow, Emil still solved it on his first guess, winning $45,000 and stunning host Pat Sajak.
The game show has featured some extraordinary puzzle solving before, but really, who the hell is going to guess "New Baby Buggy?" Who has even said "baby buggy" in the last 10 years?
If Wheel of Fortune could be compared to a sport, Emil's guess was a Hail Mary pass as time expired, or a desperation half-court buzzer beater, except Emil said some words and won a lot of money. That's still some good hustle, Emil.
Update: Sajak was impressed.
Tonight's "Wheel of Fortune" features most amazing solve in my 30+ years on the show. No kidding.

Manorhamilton (Irish: Cluainín (Uí Ruairc) ) is a small town in north County Leitrim, Ireland. It is located on the N16 between Sligo 16 miles (26 km) and Enniskillen 25 miles (40 km).
Before the Plantations of Ireland the settlement was known as Clooneen[1] (from Irish: Cluainín Uí Ruairc, meaning "Uí Ruairc's small meadow"). This lay on the west bank of the Owenbeg. Uí Ruairc (Anglicised as O'Rourke) was the local Gaelic chieftain based in nearby Dromahair whose land was seized by the English and then granted to Sir Frederick Hamilton for his services in the European wars of the 17th century. As a result of his actions Hamilton to this day is considered to have been a tyrant by the local people. He began building a new town on the east bank of the river, in the townland of Clonmullen, which he renamed Manorhamilton.[1] After the town emerged, the name Baile Hamaltuin was adopted by Irish speakers and its anglicised form Ballyhamilton was used by English speakers for a time. [1]
Manorhamilton has several major businesses.
- Merenda Ltd - specialist manufacturer & supplier of edgebanding and wrapping veneer products.
- Elastometall Ireland - manufacturers of anti-vibration and rubber to metal bonded products.
- Mirror Controls International - Automobile Mirror Actuator manufacturer
- Manorhamilton Livestock Mart & Export Sales
- Lock Up Alarms Ltd. - Installers of electronic security products lock up alarms
- Melvin Plastics
Like most rural Irish towns, Manorhamilton is seeing considerable social and physical change. Farming is still a dominant sector yet traditional industries and livelihoods are being replaced by new forms of economic activity. Construction in the area is recently underwent a boom time with hundreds of new homes having been built. The recent recession has brought an end to the building boom.
The Wild Rose and Thorn Festival brings large crowds to Manorhamilton each August and is proving a great success. The festival features a light-hearted and humorous talent competition to choose a Rose & a Thorn as well as on-street gigs and entertainment in a carnival atmosphere.
Manorhamilton has several top quality pubs with music, craic and nightlife to suit young and old. The area is renowned for traditional Irish music and regular sessions take place in 'Biddy's, 'Heraghty's' and 'The Castle'. Traditional and newly composed Irish music by local musicians including uilleann piper Alan Roberts can be sampled and purchased on iTunes.[2]
Splódar Theatre Company[3][edit]
Splódar are a professional theatre company based in the Glens Centre in Manorhamilton. Formerly known as 'The Glens Players' the company stages shows both in English and Irish. Splódar tours its work nationally and has also performed plays at Theatre Festivals abroad.
Drumlin Publications[4][edit]
Drumlin Publications was formed by local author Prin Duignan to give a voice to emerging writers. The company has published many excellent books focusing on history and culture - both regional and national.
Gaelscoil Chluainín[5][edit]
The founding of Manorhamilton's new Gaelscoil gives local children the opportunity to receive their primary education through Irish. The school is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in a custom-built school building on Castle Street in the town.
Places of interest[edit]
Manorhamilton Castle & Heritage Centre[edit]
The ruins of Manorhamilton Castle[6] has recently been impressively renovated transforming it into a fascinating tourist attraction. The Castle was erected in 1634 by Sir Frederick Hamilton who was granted land in North Leitrim by the English government. The land had been confiscated from the O'Rourkes, the ruling clan of Breifne. Hamilton was a very unpopular overlord and faced frequent native rebellion before the Castle was burned by the Earls of Clanrickard (Burkes) in 1652. Manorhamilton Castle Heritage Centre hosts a permanent exhibition and offers guided tours of the Castle ruins and grounds.
Headquartered in Manorhamilton, The Greenbox[7] is Ireland's first integrated ecotourism destination. The area of the Greenbox includes Counties Fermanagh, Leitrim, West Cavan, North Sligo, South Donegal and North West Monaghan. The organisation is involved in the development and promotion of eco breaks and hundreds of other activities.
Bee Park Resource Centre[edit]
The Bee Park Resource Centre is a recently built facility on the site of the former Community Centre. The centre has a large main hall which stages concerts and community events. The Bee Park Centre is also home to a large number of service providers in the areas of Youth, Sport, Disability & Childcare Education. The North Leitrim Women's Group and The North Leitrim Men's Group are also located here.
Public Square[edit]
A spacious new paved public square has been developed adjacent to Manorhamilton Castle on the former Fair Green. The square which incorporates an outdoor performance platform has been further enhanced by the commissioning of an abstract sculpture, sourced from the local Leitrim Sculpture Centre.[8]
Famine Graveyard[edit]
This plot is one of three graveyards opened shortly before and during the Great Famine of 1845 - 1849. It is a silent memorial to the famine dead.
Megalithic Sites[edit]
The North Leitrim area features many pre-historic sites of interest. Very accessible is the nearby O'Donnell's Rock plateau where many well-preserved stone forts and passage tombs are located. Cairns and other tombs are also visible on Benbo Mountain and at the summits of virtually all the surrounding mountains. On lower ground the remains of ringforts, cashels, tombs and many other structures are dotted throughout the landscape. Lisdarush Ring Fort is a well-preserved Iron Age site which can be seen just off the Rossinver road approximately 2 miles (3 km) from Manorhamilton.
Our Lady's Hospital[edit]
Our Lady's Hospital is located on the edge of the town. This HSE hospital provides a range of services and is focused on long-stay and day-care geriatric and rheumatology services.
HSE Offices[edit]
Manorhamilton is home to regional HSE offices. These were, until recently, the headquarters of the regional North Western Health Board (NWHB). The NWHB has now been merged into the national Health Service Executive HSE, and there is uncertainty as to the future role of the former NWHB HQ.
Manorhamilton locals of note[edit]
The former CEO of the HSE, Professor Brendan Drumm, grew up in Manorhamilton where his parents were instrumental in founding the local secondary school.
John Willoughby Crawford QC (1817 – 13 May 1875) the third Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Canada from 1873 to 1875 was Born in Manorhamilton in 1817.

Former Sligo Leitrim & Northern Counties Railway Service (closed: 1957)[edit]
Manorhamilton railway station opened on 1 December 1880 and formed part of the Sligo Leitrim & Northern Counties Railway (SLNCR). All maintenance on the line's engines and rolling stock was carried out at the station works and the railway became a major employer locally. The administrative headquarters of the SLNCR was located in the nearby village of Lurganboy. The railway served as a major business and tourism artery to the area and developed a large trade in livestock exports. The development of the modern roads system in Ireland led to the decline of railway usage and the consolidation of railways nationwide. The SLNCR, and with it Manorhamilton Station, finally closed on 1 October 1957.[9]
