BeneTrac Simplifies W-2 Tax Reporting on Benefits and Other Emerging Healthcare Reform Requirements
Human resources software helps to decrease administrative burden of W-2 reporting during tax season, reduces benefits management risk for brokers, HR, employers
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) March 05, 2013
BeneTrac, a Paychex company and provider of powerful, web-based electronic enrollment and employee benefits administration software, is announcing its technology further supports healthcare reform compliance, with enhanced capabilities to satisfy recent W-2 reporting requirements to report the cost of employer-provided health coverage on employee W-2 forms. The latest software enhancements make it easy to report the aggregate cost of "applicable employer-sponsored coverage" through its robust reporting tool. This new mandate applies to all companies processing more than 250 W-2 forms for tax years beginning January 1, 2012.
"As compliance deadlines for new healthcare reform provisions move forward and organizations navigate new W-2 reporting requirements during the busy tax season, we have seen an increase in urgency from businesses that need help to quickly comply," said Summer Hamilton, vice president of sales for BeneTrac. "W-2 reporting is just one of the many aspects of healthcare reform that is simplified with the BeneTrac platform. Brokers and HR managers consistently tell us that BeneTrac´s online solution reduces this reporting burden, adding day-to-day efficiencies that greatly simplify benefits administration and more than justify the return on investment."
The new mandate from the IRS requires the portions paid by both the employer and the employee to be included in the information reported on the W-2. The intent is to provide useful and comparable consumer information to employees on the cost of their healthcare coverage. If the employer fails to correctly file by March 31, 2013 for this tax year, penalties may apply.
While many software packages track the contribution the employee pays, BeneTrac includes premiums from both the employee and the employer. The enhanced software offers a full electronic report that details contributions and total aggregation to simplify compliance with the W-2 reporting requirement. The system also accounts for changes in enrollment status updates that affect contributions, including life events such as getting married, divorced, having a child and others.
"In addition to assisting with compliance reporting, our benefit cost reporting functionality provides our clients and brokers with an effective analysis tool for shopping new insurance coverages and aids with budgetary planning," said Michael House, vice president of product management for BeneTrac.
BeneTrac´s technology helps HR administrators, brokers and others prepare for other pending requirements including:
–Auto-enrollment of employees in benefits — The Department of Labor reported the auto enrollment mandate (which requires companies with more than 200 full-time employees to automatically enroll employees in their medical plans) has been delayed until final guidelines are released in 2014. Though employers are not required to comply until final regulations are issued, organizations wanting to prepare for this impending requirement can use BeneTrac´s feature to automatically enroll employees in a given plan and give them the option to opt out.
–Emerging requirements on providing Summary Plan Descriptions — BeneTrac helps benefits administrators to publish existing plan summaries online.
–Tracking benefit declinations for coverage from employees — Beginning in 2014 employers with more than 50 employees may have to pay a penalty if they fail to insure employees. For example, in a company with more than 50 employees, if at least one employee receives a premium tax credit or a cost-sharing subsidy in an Exchange, the employer may be required to pay a penalty for not offering coverage. BeneTrac can capture and report on allowable declination information from employees such as "coverage under spouse" and others to show that coverage was offered and declined by an employee receiving such credits or subsidies.
Additionally, BeneTrac´s free monthly billing audits help to ensure accuracy of data and identify potential discrepancies in payments and/or service.
BeneTrac currently works with thousands of brokers and over 600 carriers and data partners to help organizations manage benefits for over a million members throughout the United States. Its software helps HR professionals more efficiently manage benefits online through automatic electronic transfers of employee benefit elections and eligibility information.

With Cher slamming the Republicans in her tweets, it's only fair to give Sarah Palin a chance to give President Obama her best shot.
At 11:23 p.m. Saturday she tweeted, "Congratulations to Mitt Romney on his choice of Congressman Paul Ryan as his running mate. President Obama has declared that this election is about 'two fundamentally different visions' for America. Goodness, he's got that right. Our country cannot afford four more years of Barack Obama's fundamentally flawed vision. We must now look to this new team, the Romney/Ryan ticket, to provide an alternate vision of an America that is fiscally responsible, strong, and prosperous — an America that understands and is proud of her exceptional place in the world and will respect those who fight to secure that exceptionalism, which includes keeping our promises to our veterans.
"When I think about the direction our country is rapidly drifting in, I can't help but look at California as a cautionary tale. The Golden State once boasted the entrepreneurial innovation of Silicon Valley, the American creative engine of the arts, economically powerful and beautiful cities from San Francisco to San Diego, and fertile farmlands that helped feed the nation. Now it is descending into financial ruin accompanied by an exodus of middle class Californians leaving for other states. As one writer put it, California's 'fastest-growing entity is government and its biggest product is red tape.'
"Obama's vision for America will make the rest of the country look like California, minus the beautiful scenery and warm weather."
Ms. Palin goes on for another 2000 or so words and keeps calling President Obama, "Candidate Obama." She does this seven times! I hate to be the one to break the bad news, but until Nov. at least, we think the man's president.
We're trying to get up to speed with Paul Ryan. We were tackling the intricacies of his budget policy and admiring his hair, but still felt he was an enigma. But thanks to our conservative friends at Twitchy we uncovered a whole other side to him.
They published this picture of Ryan in jaunty, hunting attire. At first he looks like he's cuddling the deer. On closer inspection we realize, au contraire, he's just shot the deer and now he's holding up its head and smiling for the camera! The man likes killing animals.
Anyway, his supporters love it. JDtheBard writes, "Ok I just saw that pic of Paul Ryan holding a beautiful buck he shot. I'm more than stoked now. I'm a little in love."

|Great Post! I was not aware of it, I am using outlook 2007 and happpy to find information on CSS padding here. Thanks for sharing the useful post.
|burberry scarf
|thanks! useful!
|Jonathan Wong
|Thanks for your post. I was trying to figure out why certain HTML element padding properties are being ignored exclusively on 2007 and 2010.
I ended up returning back to my simple full table formatting for padding, instead of defining padding for a particular td, I define a containing table and empty cells with spacer images for exact pixels padding effect. But this information did allow me to take my email templates to a more updated approach. and I will be quoting this post in my blog.
|The problem we have is there's no padding around images BUT... the images and text around them is from a feed, so we cannot break the images out into another TD, we have to apply a class to the entire span. margin-right didn't work :-( We have spent hours and hours trying to find a solution...
|Dan Filk
|Thank you for this. Crazy Email messages. Saved me a bunch of time.
|hy. you can also use line-height for the top and bottom padding. and maybe some at the left side...
|Margins are the worst idea -- Outlook.com, and many other clients do NOT support them. Padding is supported, but sketchily.
@Matt, the idea to use line-height is a nice one, but that's only for vertical padding. How about horizontal padding?
if you have handwritten newsletters you can help yourself with "& n b s p ;" forced whitespaces... ugly but simple solution
|Katrina Isabelle
|"After extensive testing, we have confirmed that the padding property is supported in TD's."
You are a godsend! Thank you!
|Laurent (Khoudj)
|The best solution, tested on 30 mail clients, is to use table and the property cellpadding :

Noisy and doesn't cool well
By Brooklyn Gal
from Brooklyn, NY
About Me Quality Oriented
Comments about Frigidaire 12,000 BTU Window Air Conditioner:
We recently bought this AC in the 12K BTU model and it is not very effective and the compressor is very noisy. We have the same AC in our bedroom in an 8K or 10K BTU size (probably 10K) and I'm much happier with that performance than with the 12K BTU model. Our space might be a tad on the large end of coverage for 12,000 BTU's, but our last AC was 12K and worked just fine. The compressor here is noisy, though when just the fan runs, it's ok. Overall, I am not thrilled with this appliance.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

So far I am very happy with the Frigidaire 12,000 btu air conditioner. My kitchen where I have the air conditioner is very big and odd shaped. I think it does a good job cooling off the room without a door on the room. It alsopartially cools my dining room that is attached to the kitchen

Works Consistently
By bunks
from NYC Inwood
I have owned this unit for two years and am satisfied for the most part. It does a decent job of cooling our 625 sq ft two bedroom apartment. We have one long hallway that leads to the kitchen then bath and we have a vornado type fan to push the air there. Out of the two main vents, about 75% of the cool air comes from the left vent - too bad the air flow wasn't split better to 50-50%. Fairly quiet on low & medium - have not needed to use on hi setting. Our apartment only gets direct sun in the morning until about noon which helps a great deal. PCRichard's pricing is a good deal and the unit is very well made - no cheap flimsy plastic.

The True History of the Elephant Man
|Michael Howell
Peter Ford
|United Kingdom
|Allison & Busby
Publication date
|194 (1st edition)
The True History of the Elephant Man is a biography of Joseph Merrick written by Michael Howell and Peter Ford. It was published in 1980 in London, by Allison & Busby. It was distributed in the United States by Schocken Books. A second edition was published in 1983. Following Michael Howell's death in 1986, Peter Ford published a third edition of the book in 1992.
Joseph Carey Merrick was born in 1862 in Leicester. Within the first few years of his life it became apparent that he suffered from deformities on his face and body. These deformities grew to be significantly noticeable, and tumours on his mouth affected his speech. After leaving home, Merrick was unable to make a living and at 17 he entered Leicester Union workhouse. After four years in the workhouse, Merrick contacted a showman who agreed to exhibit him as the "Elephant Man". While on display in a penny gaff shop in London, Merrick met a surgeon named Frederick Treves who invited Merrick to the London hospital to be examined. Soon after, Merrick's exhibition was shut down by the police and Merrick travelled to Belgium under a new manager. After being robbed and abandoned, he found his way back to London and into the care of Treves. Merrick was allowed to live in rooms at the London Hospital where he became a celebrity in London's high society. He stayed there until his death in 1890.
Frederick Treves wrote about Merrick's case in his memoirs of 1923. The first major work about Merrick's life was The Elephant Man: A Study in Human Dignity by anthropologist Ashley Montagu, published in 1971.[1] Montagu drew heavily on Treves' memoirs, and the "autobiographical" pamphlet that had been written to sell to visitors to Merrick's exhibitions. Monagu's book inspired numerous dramatic works about Merrick, notably a 1979 play by Bernard Pomerance and a 1980 film by David Lynch.[2] Between these two works, Michael Howell and Peter Ford published their True History.[3]
The book begins with the exhibition of Merrick in a London penny gaff shop and his meeting with surgeon Frederick Treves. Following a biographical outline of Treves, the narrative goes back in time to recount the details of Merrick's early life, family and years living in the Leicester Union workhouse. His days working as a sideshow exhibit are detailed, as is the life of one of his managers, Tom Norman. After Merrick is abandoned in Belgium, the book sees him returning to Treves at the London Hospital and provides a detailed account of his life there. The final chapters discuss theories on Merrick's medical condition, describe the end of his life and give details on what became on some of the key figures in his life. Appendices reproduce "The Autobiography of Joseph Merrick" and the title chapter of Treves' The Elephant Man and Other Reminiscences.
In a book review for Medical History, medical historian Roy Porter called the book "well-researched and level-headed — easily the best offering in this year of the elephant man." and noted the new material on the topic introduced by the authors.[4] Reviewing for Postgraduate Medical Journal, M. J. Arnold praised the book, calling it "a comprehensive account ... of the complex interrelationships between Joseph and Treves, beautifully written..."[5] Arnold went on to say "This is surely the last word and the true version" of Merrick's story.[5]
Writing for The New York Times, Anatole Broyard called the book "absorbing and well-balanced" and noted that it "corrects earlier versions of Merrick's life".[6]

Hello Down There is a 1969 musical comedy film made by Paramount Pictures. It was directed by Jack Arnold and Ricou Browning and produced by George Sherman and Ivan Tors from a screenplay by John McGreevey and Frank Telford. It starred Tony Randall and Janet Leigh. The film was reissued in 1974 under the title Sub-a-Dub-Dub.
Fred Miller (Tony Randall) must prove that his new design for an underwater home is viable by convincing his family to live in it for thirty days. His son and daughter (Gary Tigerman & Kay Cole) are members of an emerging pop rock band (Richard Dreyfuss & Lou Wagner) whom they invite to live with them during the experiment. Their temporary home, which Miller dubs the "Green Onion," is 90 feet below the surface of the ocean and is filled with super-modern appliances and amenities for house-wife Vivian (Janet Leigh) all designed by Miller, and a hole in the floor providing direct access to the sea.
The group are soon joined by a live-in seal named Gladys and a pair of dolphins (Duke and Duchess) which stay close at hand and fend off unwanted sharks. They are confronted by many obstacles including a rival designer (Ken Berry) from Undersea Development Inc. who begins to cause problems for the inhabitants of the "Green Onion".[1]
Meanwhile, the band's single has gotten the attention of record executive Nate Ashbury (Roddy McDowall) who decides to sign them sight-unseen. He takes the liberty of booking them for an important television performance on The Merv Griffin Show without communicating with them first. After learning that they are inaccessible, he proves that he will go to great lengths to reach them since the show must go on. The band gets its airing, and the Navy is alerted by the sounds of the music coming from the sea. As naval fleets swarm in to investigate what must surely be a Communist plot, the movie abruptly ends.

Danish Muslims see silver lining to cartoon crisis
By Simon Johnson and Kim McLaughlin
COPENHAGEN (Reuters) – Fury among Muslims worldwide over
Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammad has led to deadly
violence and bitter accusations between the West and the
Islamic world. But Niamatullah Basharat sees a silver lining.
"Every Muslim feels hurt by these drawings," the Danish
imam said at the small Nusrat Djahan mosque on the outskirts of
"But Denmark has talked more about Islam in the last few
weeks than it has in the last 10 years, so I hope it will do
some good."
Many Muslims hope that despite the short-term damage to
community relations, the spotlight on religious and ethnic
minorities will give them a greater voice in Danish politics.
But so far images of angry Muslim crowds burning the Danish
flag and stoning Danish embassies, and a boycott of Danish
products in the Middle East, have polarized opinion instead.
The cartoonists who produced the images of the Prophet for
the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten are in hiding and under
police protection.
A new poll by A&B Analyze for Web-based newspaper Altinget
showed 45 percent of Danes have less sympathy now for Muslims
than before the cartoon backlash. Another recent poll showed
support for the anti-immigrant Danish People's Party rising.
But Muslims say now could be the time to build bridges.
"In the middle of the chaos I still think it will become a
positive thing. Danes and Muslims are out now talking, telling
each other things that could have been said years ago," said
Fathi El-Abed of the Danish Palestinian Friendship Association.
Naser Khader, a Muslim member of parliament and founder of
the new pro-dialogue Democratic Muslim Network, believes that
"in three to five years we will look back at this matter also
and see that it has been a positive step in integration."
Denmark has been cracking down in immigration since the
current center-right government came to power in 2001 with the
support of the openly anti-immigrant Danish People's Party.
The DPP, whose leader Pia Kjaersgaard has called some
Danish Muslims "enemies within" and "weeds," is closing in on
the opposition Social Democrats for second place in party
rankings, polling 18 percent versus 14.5 percent a month ago.
"We enjoy support now because we've been very stern in our
protection of freedom of speech," said Soren Espersen, the
DPP's foreign policy spokesman.
"We've been criticized by countries that are not democratic
and in a way it's a compliment to be criticized by some of the
most horrific dictatorships in the world."
Some voices accuse politicians of inflammatory rhetoric.
"As I see it, if the mainstream stakeholders, politicians
and the media don't distance themselves from Islamophobic
rhetoric, we are going to have a very split society," said
Mandana Zarrehparvar at Danish Institute for Human Rights.
Unemployment is high among minorities. Soon after Prime
Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen came to power, laws were brought
in restricting immigrants' right to asylum and welfare
The number of people granted asylum has dropped by more
than 80 percent since 2001, says the Danish Immigration
"The legislation indirectly discriminates against ethnic
minorities," said Zarrehparvar.
Some scholars warn the cartoon furor has dented trust.
"I'm afraid the implications are serious," said political
science professor Peter Nannestad at the university of Aarhus.
"The cartoon row has definitely reduced Danes' trust in Muslim
immigrants and may have diminished immigrants' trust in Danes."

With the news that X-treme X-men and Age of Apocalpyse are ending. The only book left standing after the X-Terminated event will be AXM. But is it worth saving? What should Marjorie Liu do? Which artist could help make it look more attractive? What roster would work better?
I think it's not all Liu's fault, Marvel has given her a book so on the fringes no one really know about unless they heard about the Northstar wedding 'event'. I do believe she knows what she's doing but her cast could be more exciting and her stories could be more adventurous and alternative. The art from what i have seen leaves little to be desired. And the cast could be more interesting to me even though i like her giving Karma and Dr. Reyes some love. I feel she need a new direction and all new cast. Maybe get her to right the younger X-men and have a few adult X-men as mentors.
Any other suggestions?

Why Letting Your Insurance Company Monitor How You Drive Can Be a Good Thing 567
from the everybody's-an-above-average-driver dept.
Reminds me of a story. Many years ago (okay, about 20 years ago) I worked for a very small company that set up networks for point of sale systems; so small it was just my boss and me.
One evening we were heading back to town after being onsite since about 6am. Needless to say, we were both tired, so my boss was gunning it. Then comes the flashing lights. Cop stops us, and asks my boss "Do you know why I stopped you?" My boss replies "I suppose I was speeding." The cop nods. "Yes you were, sir. And did you happen to glance at your speedometer to see how much over the speed limit you were driving?" At that point, I caught a mischievous look in my boss's eye.
"God no!" my boss exclaimed. "Traveling that fast, I didn't dare look down at my dash!"
Fortunately the cop had a good sense of humor, we all had a laugh, and my boss got a ticket.
This made me a worse driver. They had the data plotted online for you to monitor.
So I thought it would be fun to use my car to make patterns. I would get on a stretch of highway and then lower and raise my speed in intervals with my cruise control to make sawtooth patterns. So ever 5 seconds I'd bump it up 1 mph. Then down.
Factorials were someone's attempt to make math LOOK exciting.

Prowling for profit
As demand rises for unmanned surveillance drones, Poway's General Atomics Aeronautical among companies positioned to benefit
Northrop Grumman has a significant unmanned-aircraft division in Rancho Bernardo. Although its aircraft are assembled elsewhere, the company's San Diego unit provides software, systems integration, business development and other functions for the high-altitude Global Hawk, the Fire Scout unmanned helicopter, a Navy version of the Global Hawk called BAMS and the stealthy, early-stage drone designed to land on aircraft carriers called the X-47 UCAS, among others.
These two companies have put San Diego near the center of a sea change in military aviation with the rise of ever-more-capable drones.
"They are the two largest by far" in the unmanned-aircraft industry, said Phil Finnegan, director for corporate analysis for The Teal Group, a defense industry research firm.
Teal estimates that the market for drone aircraft will double in the next decade, reaching $8.7 billion in annual sales worldwide. That's just for the planes. It doesn't include sensor systems, which often increase costs significantly.
Neither Northrop Grumman nor General Atomics provides specific revenue figures.
The companies control different market segments. Northrop Grumman's larger, more capable and more expensive Global Hawk dominates the high-altitude, long-endurance segment. It can fly at 60,000 feet for more than 36 hours. No drone competes with it, analysts say.
Northrop Grumman has made roughly 25 of the planes to date, and they've flown hundreds of missions over Iraq and Afghanistan. The Air Force eventually plans to buy 54. The company won't reveal the cost of the Global Hawk, but a Government Accountability Office report in 2006 said the drones cost more than $100 million each, including ground equipment, support, testing and spare parts. Northrop Grumman says that estimate is too high.
General Atomics' Predator series dominates the medium-altitude, long-endurance market segment. The company has made more than 380 of the planes, mostly for the Pentagon. But they also are being used by the Department of Homeland Security to patrol borders, by NASA for research and by foreign military customers.
"It comes down to this: If I was trying to cover the world with an unmanned surveillance drone, I would definitely pick the Global Hawk," said Thompson of the Lexington Institute. "But if I was trying to cover the northwest corner of Afghanistan, I would probably pick the Predator."
Drone aircraft are less expensive to operate than manned aircraft. They also keep pilots out of harm's way by performing some of the dull but dangerous work on the battlefield.
Some drones, such as the Predator family, can be fitted with missiles and circle a potential target for more than day. Most, though, are used only for surveillance.
Inside its San Diego-area factory, General Atomics builds Predator-series planes from scratch. Frank Belknap, director of composite manufacturing, said local workers who lost their aerospace industry jobs in the early-'90s recession — many of whom found work making composite golf shafts and tennis rackets — are now returning to aerospace to build Predators.
In 1999, Belknap was the 16th employee of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, an affiliate of privately held General Atomics. Today, the company employs more than 4,000 workers.

Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) national spokesperson MJ Akbar on Monday says that he can only express pity on Sanjay Jha's comments on such a tall leader like Atal Behari Vajpayee's stature.
"Sanjay Jha's comments only prove that he is a weak spokesperson of the Congress. I can only pity on his remarks, if he has made comments on a tall leader like Atal Behari Vajpayee who lives with in the hearts of the people, and who has contributed tremendously to the nation's economy, having sealed his place in history by bringing honour to the nation," Akbar said.
Reacting on Sanjaya Baru's book 'The Accidental Prime Minister' which has stirred a hornet's nest in the political circles about his comments made on prime minister Manmohan Singh, Congress leader, Sanjay Jha had tweeted by expressing his opposition to the book by saying that it was the former prime minister Atal Behari Vajpayee who was the weakest prime minister that India had ever had.

I may actually do some planning for the third annual:
"Mindless Wandering and Miscellaneous Scenery Ride".
This ride is perfect for new riders, riders with pillion, husband/wife teams, late rising alcoholics, those that loathe "organized" rides, under-achievers and those that like to wander aimlessly! It is marginally more adventurous than a rush hour trip to Starbucks, will involve some gravel, dirt if I'm lucky and may involve wheelies and or high speeds. Extreme low speeds can also be expected and Fe Woman will demonstrate how to travel at the speed of stop!
Last year's bikes included Tigers, KLRs, KTM 9-somethings, BMW 11-something GS's and some others that I can't recall.
We usually meet somewhere near the bikes, sometime after breakfast and coffee but before lunch, discuss where to get gas, stare at maps, retrieve forgotten items from tents, talk more about direction, stare at maps some more and depart.
Kickstands will be up promptly as soon as some direction is determined and demonstrated.
Lunch will be a priority though it usually occurs after much wandering and further discussion.
Photo opportunities will be numerous, exploited and overlooked; sometimes at the same time.
Route reversals and backtracking can be expected along with stalled starts, strange looks, muttered complaints, mild profanity and my wife shaking her head while staring at me.
This ride usually happens Friday and Saturday and sometimes involves totally new routes; mainly because no one can remember where we have actually been.
This will definitely, probably be a blast; or something!
Today I actually looked at a map and started thinking about the route. I'm pretty sure we will be pulling out of the parking lot and turning left!
Almost certainly left!
Thinking about heading up into Virginia, around Mt Rogers then maybe over towards Grayson Highlands....
Mixed bag of roads, easy gravel, maybe some dirt roads, nothing too sketchy cause Fe Woman doesn't want to crash too much. This will really be nothing more than "wonder where this goes" again and again.
Input is welcome!
Physics, gravity, and law enforcement are the only things that prevent me from operating at my full potential

Hi everyone,
I've fallen a little behind (okay, a lot) and I apologize. I'm trying to sort out some things in my life, straighten my priorities, refresh myself in God's Word, spend better/quality time with my husband, and figure out a better way of managing stress. Due to this, I haven't been posting partly because (honestly) I haven't felt like it, and partly because I wanted to be in a better place to be writing. I will slowly be catching up on all the topics I intended to blog about in the early months of this year. In the meantime, I appreciate your patience and your continued following.

My greatest desire is to see those of us who have a personal walk with the Lord to grow more deeply and passionately in love with God and to use our life experiences to bless and teach those around us. To those who may not know Jesus Christ personally and/or are currently searching for a spiritual experience, spiritual advice, or a spiritual relationship, may the Holy Spirit guide you as you look for answers and give you clarity and wisdom through His words, not mine.

My Mission Statement
Becoming His Eve's mission is to affirm, encourage, inspire, offer instruction on, and uplift REAL marriage – marriage that is Respectful, Engaging, Authentic, and Loving. My passion is to reach women who desire a deeper, authentic relationship with Christ and a godly, passionate marriage. My purpose is two-fold: 1) to build a grace-filled community where married women can share in the joy and struggles of married life and learn to become "his" Eve, and 2) to learn together how to become more like Christ, living as His radiant and redeemed Bride, "His" Eve.
Hannah Williams,
creator, writer, and content manager for Becoming His Eve
January 2014
It is my hope to encourage all women that we aren't defined by our relationship status (married, divorced, single, engaged, dating, or widowed). We are defined by our relationship with Christ. We are holy, redeemed, and fiercely loved by the God and Creator of this Universe. In 2015, BHE will explore how we live in response to His invitation to live a grace-filled life as women of purpose, passion, and faith.

Drilon: Don't judge senators yet on pork barrel scam
MANILA, Philippines—Before passing judgment on the senators implicated in the P10-billion pork barrel funds scam, the public should give them a chance to explain themselves.
Senate President Franklin Drilon made this statement a day after Commission on Audit (COA) Chair Grace Pulido-Tan told the Senate blue ribbon committee tasked to look into the scam that certain senators gave instructions to implementing agencies that their pork barrel entitlements should go to specific nongovernment organizations (NGOs).
Tan said a total of P1.093 billion from the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) of Senate Minority Leader Juan Ponce Enrile, Sen. Ramon Revilla Jr., Sen. Jinggoy Estrada and Sen. Gregorio Honasan went to bogus NGOs belonging to Janet Lim-Napoles, alleged mastermind behind the multibillion scam.
"Let us not condemn before they are given an opportunity to explain themselves," Drilon said.
According to the COA special audit report, among the senators, Revilla poured the most to the Napoles NGOs cited by Tan, with P483.49 million. Enrile came in second, with P332.7 million followed by Estrada, with P262.575 million.
Honasan had the least amount given to the questioned NGOs, with just P14.55 million.
The four senators have inhibited themselves from attending the investigation supposedly to avoid the perception that they are interfering with the flow of the inquiry. They have repeatedly denied any wrongdoing in relation to the disbursement of their PDAF.
But Senate Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano said his colleagues' presence in the blue ribbon panel hearings "will not be seen as interfering with the investigation."
"On the contrary, they might be able to help shed light on the case," Cayetano said in a statement.
He challenged his colleagues to attend the inquiry and submit themselves to questioning.
"We compel witnesses to tell us the truth. Why can we not ask for the truth from our colleagues?" Cayetano said.
Sen. Teofisto Guingona III, chair of the Senate blue ribbon committee, yesterday said majority of senators are for the abolition of the pork barrel system.
"After reading the COA report, 15 out of 24 senators favor the abolition of the pork barrel," he said on the sidelines of the celebration of the 163rd birth anniversary of propagandist and Bulakan native Marcelo H. del Pilar in Bulakan, Bulacan.
The Senate's majority stance proves that the investigation of erring members would be fair and transparent, he said. With reports from Carmela Reyes-Estrope, Inquirer Central Luzon, and Vincent Cabreza, Inquirer Northern Luzon

Pros: "Great drive and reliable"
Cons: "Stupid front cup-holder; best MPH only 28 HWY"

"I have owned this car for 8 years after buying it as a certified used vehicle. Aside from normal wear, and a recent replacement of the catalytic converter (covered by warranty!!), the car has never failed me. Clutch still works great, never turned a break rotor, no electrical issues, ... just absolutely reliable! This car, with a short wheelbase, 5-speed manual and moon roof is a blast to drive on windy country roads. It hauls a lot when the seats are down, and I have been known to carry four bikes on top and two on the hatch. It looks great with a 17.5 ft kayak on top, too. This is the fourth Rabbit or Golf that I have owned in 20 yrs, and it really is the best."

"There is something special about a Volkswagen, they drive like nothing else on the road. The handling of this car is no exception, it sticks to the road like glue and goes exactly where you point it. The Golf can be either sporty or economic and a little bit of both. I get about 30mpg on average with the 2.0L automatic, and other then some normal expected issues the car is very reliable. We've taken it on long trips with no issues. If I could afford a new one, I'd buy it... but even buying a used one has been a great experience."

"After driving and loving my 1986 VW Golf 4dr hatchback, manual transmission I decided that it was time for some air conditioning. So I went and found one as close to my 1st love as possible. Finally found one, 2005 VW Golf TDI 4dr hatchback, manual transmission. The only differance was that this one came with a sunroof, power everything and the color. Just as was expected, the mileage was the same. It will cost you just about a "1/2 pint" of gas/diesel to go any where. New, on the highway on a 12 gallon tank, I went 513 miles with the A/C blowing as fast and as cold as it would blow. City on that same tank, I went 445 miles. Very satisfied. After 8 years of driving, still very satisfied. Highway, is about 455 miles and city is 395 miles. I fill up about every 2-3 weeks depending on how much I drive. It now costs me about $43.00 to fill up, as compared to 8 years ago at about $28.00. The worst part about my car is that my interior is tan in color. With 8 years of driving and 2 kids, the interior could use a good steam cleaning. So for all of you who have had poor service from your VW, rest assured that every manufacturer has a "lemon" in the line up. Don't give up yet, there are definately great serving vehicles out there."

"I bought my Golf new and have put almost 90,000 miles on it in ten years of mixed city and highway driving. It has had very few problems along the way and always gets a clean bill of health at oil changes and tune-ups. Like other VWs I've owned, it came with far more standard features than comparably-priced Toyotas, Hondas, etc., with the additional benefit of being great fun to drive. It's peppy, goes from zero to 60 without even blinking, and handles like a much more expensive car. The fuel economy isn't great--I get about 23-24 miles in city driving and less than 30 on the highway--but it's acceptable. My only complaint is that the interior hasn't held up all that well: the straps on the hatch cover broke; the back seat no longer locks in the normal position; the knob for the side-view mirror adjustment broke long ago, so mirrors have to be adjusted manually. But those minor complaints aside, my Golf has been a joy to drive."

"Until I got my 2002 Golf, my favorite car had been my 82 Honda Accord hatchback, but this has outdone that car! Almost as reliable (but not quite), and endless fun to drive, handles wonderfully, stable, holds corners and curves to give a thrill to driving. Up to 112,000 miles now, and my Golf still runs like a much newer car, is still stylish and fresh looking, although gas mileage has dropped 4-5 mpg with age. I keep up with all scheduled maintenance at VW dealer (a bit pricey), but it seems worth it, since the car is running so well. I love that it runs like a peppy, sporty car, is very responsive, yet hauls all sorts of large objects, e.g. camping gear, two bikes inside, or even a dishwasher, and fits in tight city parking spaces easily. Minor annoyances are plastic parts that break off, not being able to change a headlight without taking to the dealer, and the frequency with which rear lights burn out-at least I can get to them to change them myself! Love the Golf, would highly recommend it to others. Works great as an only car for two person household, but my friends love me to swap with them if I need to borrow a minivan or truck to move really big stuff, or take 6 or 7 folks somewhere!"

What a great video. It's a great encapsulation of the problem of evil and on how if god really is omnipotent, etc., then he must be one heartless bastard.
- http://www.facebook.com/curt.mullin curt
Malevolent or stupid? They say it's omnipotence, omniscience, and omni-benevolence right? How about incredibly stupid? This video is a great example of everything wrong with ThreeO, I love it.
I believe the three O's are logically impossible.
Omnipotence is itself a paradox that contradicts itself.
God could not create a stone that he could not lift.
God could create a stone he could not lift.
This does not make sense
The problem of evil, "Theodicy" as its often called, kills all three O's
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
- rodneyAnonymous
"Theodicy" refers to an attempted answer to / justification for the problem of evil.
- http://www.facebook.com/curt.mullin curt
You're right. Theodicy is the theist's attempt at answering the problem of evil. sorry about that, thanks for the correction.
My other points about the threeO still stand.

very smart video. yet medical, science , wealth, and all the things mention is not what Jesus purpose. cause all those things cannot solve the problem of sin. basic human nature of greed n violence . with all these advancement in science cannot prevent nuclear war , aids, economy crisis.its not so simple that a 9 min video can explain
- Felix
The problem of sin only exists after you assume that a violation of God's law is possible. This violation is only possible if God exists. Since he doesn't, there is no sin. What you call 'human nature' is just that – nature. It perfectly understandable and consistent since we are animals.
Do you think all the advances in science that have vastly improved AIDS treatment are useless? Do you think living to old age instead of dying within five years is nothing? Do you despise human life that much?
What prevents nuclear war is fear, ethical behavior and foresighted thinking. It has nothing to do with gods, sin or magic.
There have always been economic crises, ever since supply and demand became a factor of human society. You are right that it's not simple. There is no invisible hand that sets everything right – neither a magical market mechanism nor a divine one.
- Olaf
Ok assume that God and jezus does not exist. What would be different to this world that we otherwise would not have?
Imagine you grow up in a pure atheist society, no reference to any god and religion. Now how would you not know that Jezus does not exist?

September Dawns, the General Assembly Nears
Will the P.A. go through with its statehood bid?
Last week, it was clear that the Palestinian Authority is basically the only group deeply involved in the Mideast conflict that supports its own planned drive for a status upgrade—and possibly for statehood—at the United Nations later this month (yup, it's September now). Israel and the U.S. are against (they want a negotiated resolution); Hamas and Hezbollah are against (they want all of the land, not a compromise); the Palestinian diaspora is against (they would lose representation at the U.N.). Here's another: King Abdullah of Jordan has reportedly asked President Abbas to reconsider the U.N. gambit—he's worried that such a move would put at risk the larger goal of a Palestinian right of return; it's possible he cares about this because lots of Palestinians live in Jordan and some day the Hashemite monarchy might have its own demographic crisis to face. Add, as well, the Israeli left, which analogizes a hypothetical Palestinian state to the Bantustans of apartheid South Africa. ("Are Palestinians walking into a trap at the U.N.?" Dimi Reider asks, even though there is no trap—it's the P.A.'s idea and initiative). And add also the humanitarian perspective, articulated by this article, which states that it would be irresponsible, even immoral of the international community to grant the territories the trappings of statehood before they are actually ready for it. "The U.N. will be recognizing a state whose government(s) maintains questionable legitimacy among its own population, is maligned by deep corruption and internal fighting, lacks control over terror cells that undermine all peace efforts, is depressingly mismanaged and is completely dependent on Israeli industry," Avi Yesawich writes. "The world will be voting into existence a welfare state that currently owes much of its sustenance to the donations of the international community and Israeli tax transfers."
Yet most signs point to its going forward. Israel is readying for General Assembly approval—they know there's no way for them stop it—anticipating potential challenges both legal and physical. Indeed, in addition to West Bank reinforcements, the IDF is actually training settler security teams. That said, it should be noted that the P.A. strategy is to refrain from violence. Here's hoping.
One gets the sickening sense that, for two years or so, Palestinian statehood at the U.N. was a bluff: not a bad one, but one that has been called; and now it is in no one's interests more than the bluffer's to fold.

Ronda Rousey: 203 seconds of action in six fights & Mazagatti controversy
Rousey did not see her wish fulfilled last night, as she once again won by arm bar, this time in just 25 seconds.
However, Strikeforce founder Scott Coker and Rousey herself defended Mazagatti's actions.
So does this set up a potential showdown between Rousey and Strikeforce 135 pound title holder Cris Cyborg Santos? Rousey says no.

8/14/11 5:40 PM by Missing Glove Tape
No doubt. Have you seen some of the sasquatch women she's faced in judo? Her matches against Edith Bosch(NED) and Annett Boehm(GER) was like her fighting against the men. haha. And as far as Cyborg's concerned, based on the competition footage I've seen of her I wouldn't even put her mid-pack. Reason being, she'd get ipponed immediately by lower tier competitors well before strength and athleticism ever came into play.For those saying Rousey needs years more training to be able to 'survive' on the feet for 20 seconds...be serious! In 20 seconds Cyborg(and everyone else) will be on the mat preparing to tap. What sucks for Cyborg and any other future opponents is that Rousey will most likely just go ahead and break arms from now on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WApfonxtiU4 ;)

Mazzagatti needs to leave the business... I would like to see comments from DFW on this one.btw Ronda needs more 1 or 2 years training stand up to be able to survive for more than 20 seconds against Cyborg IMO.

if Rousey would like to have kids, without a real emotional attachment and purely from a business standpoint, i am available..

Cyborg will defeat Rousey.

Cyborg is the 145pound champ. Weight is not an issue. I think the writer just erred. This fight will happen.
