Vermont Health Plan Advances
Vermont is moving one step closer to a goal of its Democratic governor: a state-run health plan that would insure most of its 625,000 residents.
The bill Gov. Peter Shumlin plans to sign on Thursday would create a panel whose goal would be to figure out how to pay for a new system intended to reduce the rate of overall health-cost increases.
The challenge is to figure out how to finance such a system and convince the federal government to allow the experiment to proceed as soon as 2017. It's far from clear Vermont can make it all work.
In an interview, Gov. Shumlin said Vermont needs the change because its health costs have doubled over the last decade. Between 2004 and 2008, health-care spending in Vermont grew at an annual rate of 8%, three percentage points higher than the national rate. Among the cost drivers is that Vermont requires insurers to offer coverage to all applicants regardless of their health status.
The state would cover most of the costs, and residents would pay a portion through co-payments charged when they receive medical care. Their "Green Mountain Care" card would link to an electronic medical record of their treatment history.
Vermont's idea is based on the concept of a health system where a public entity funds all care. It is popular among liberals in the U.S. and common abroad.
Critics say such systems lack free-market incentives to improve care and are apt to lead to government rationing.
A Comparison of the Federal, Massachusetts and Vermont Health Laws
Federal Health Law, 2010
Requires most Americans to carry coverage or pay a fine. Expands coverage for lower earners by making some eligible for Medicaid and subsidizing private insurance for others.
Insurance companies must cover all comers regardless of health status. Larger businesses must provide health coverage for employees or pay a fine.
Massachusetts Law, 2006
Requires state residents to get health insurance or pay a fine. Subsidized health insurance available to adults earning up to 300% of federal poverty level.
Requires companies with more than 10 full-time workers to make a 'reasonable' contribution for their coverage or pay a penalty.
Health plans must cover all comers regardless of health status, though coverage of pre-existing conditions may be limited for up to six months
Vermont Health Proposal, 2011
Most residents under 65 would move to an insurance plan run by the state. State-run plan would be standard for all.
Individuals and businesses would pay for the plan through higher taxes. Some people would stay in private plans.
—Sources: WSJ research, Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Darcie Johnston, founder of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom in Montpelier, says the plan backed by the governor would require the largest tax increase in the state's history. "It hasn't worked in multiple countries where it's been tried," she said.
Gov. Shumlin says a state-run system would save on administrative costs and reduce waste by giving state officials the power to reward high-quality care instead of quantity.
About 20% of people in Vermont have employer-sponsored insurance plans governed by certain federal benefits laws, and they would stay on those plans. Medicare beneficiaries would stay on that plan, while Vermont would seek permission to effectively fold enrollees in Medicaid into the broader state program.
Most of the rest of the state residents would lose their existing plans and be switched into the state-run system that offered one standard benefits package. More than 7% of Vermonters do not have insurance.
"Vermonters understand that our system is not sustainable and that they're going to lose their rural health-care providers if we don't make change," said Gov. Shumlin. He cited the fact that Medicare and Medicaid pay doctors lower rates than private insurers.
James O'Brien is one of those doctors. In 1948, his father started a cardiology practice in Winooski, Vt., which the younger Dr. O'Brien eventually took over.
With more than 90% of his billings coming from Medicare, he said he was no longer making enough money to keep the practice open.
In March, the 53-year-old shut it and moved his family to Norwich, N.Y., where he took a salaried job at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital.
Dr. O'Brien is skeptical that switching to a system modeled on having a single payer would have kept him afloat. "I don't trust the politicians will fund it adequately," he said.
In liberal-leaning Vermont, even Republicans in the state legislature are open to the idea of emulating a single-payer system, though they quibble with how it is being set up.
Health insurers, worried that the plan would effectively drive them out of the state, have pushed back.
Figuring out exactly how the plan would be financed is the job of the five-member board. The governor's office says new taxes would account for some of the cost.
Instead of paying premiums, employers and workers likely would subsidize the plan through taxes. Gov. Shumlin says the administrative simplification of having one payer would save the state $500 million a year.
Another challenge: Last year's federal health overhaul law would require Vermont in 2014 to begin offering expanded insurance coverage through a state-run exchange.
The law allows it to seek an exemption, but not until 2017. President Obama has said he supports moving that requirement to 2014.
The state also needs Medicare and Medicaid waivers to make changes to those programs.
Supporters of the plan in the state legislature also are divided over whether illegal immigrants would be covered under the program.
Undocumented workers supply labor to the state's farms and already get care through the emergency room. Opponents who objecct to including those workers argue that the insurance coverage shouldn't be available to those who aren't legal citizens.

Originally written on This Given Sunday | Last updated 11/10/14
With trade rumors and the NFL Combine in full swing, it would be easy to overlook Tom Brady's contract extension with the Patriots that will keep him in New England through the 2017 season. Peter King of SI.com reports that the extension, which will go a long way towards making sure Brady retires with the Patriots, is below the fair market value for one of the league's top quarterbacks. The goal for Tom Brady in accepting such terms is simple. He wants to win championships, and the only way to do that is to keep the Patriots strong. By taking less money, he's essentially giving the Patriots money to spend elsewhere. The extension saves the Patriots $15 million in cap space over the 2013, 2014 seasons. Brady's base salary in 2015 will be just $7 million. From there it increases to $8 million in 2016 and $9 million in 2017. SI.com has come up with Brady's salary cap impact over the next several years. Here's how that breaks down now that his extension is a done deal. 2013: $13.8 million 2014: $14.8 million 2015: $13 million 2016: $14 million 2017: $15 million It's hard to tell if a guy as fiery as Tom Brady will retire at the conclusion of his extension, but this deal insures that he'll be playing until he hits the 40 year old mark, something he's said was his goal.

First Stage Consultation (Archive)
We are looking at introducing a residents' parking scheme to Farquhar Road, Tudor Road and Leighton Road in Moseley; the aim of a scheme would be to try and make it easier for residents to park on these roads.
We undertook an intial consultation with residents in January 2008.
The parking surveys
Our investigations, through on-street parking beat surveys, show that the majority of vehicles parked in the location are resident vehicles and not visitors to the area. A key problem is that the amount of on-street parking is not sufficient to accommodate all the demand by local residents' for parking their vehicles.
The proposed scheme could accommodate about 70 vehicles on-street when the zone operates and possibly a few more outside the times of operation (e.g. on single yellow lines). Whereas it is estimated that there are well over 100 vehicles that residents would like to park in the location. There is a shortfall of at least 30 bays.
What we were told
The responses to the consultation showed that most residents were not adverse to having a one hour parking zone during the daytime. However the majority of residents were of the opinion that the parking problems were in the evening and were caused by visitors to the local pubs and restaurants. However, as noted, the parking surveys show that there is not a problem with non-residents parking on these roads in the evenings and very few parking during the daytime.
The attached spreadsheet provides a summary of the responses.
The most important element of a scheme for residents would be the extra capacity provided for residents. However, the parking surveys show that, not only would there be not extra capacity achieved, but there would in fact be a reduced number of bays available for the residents to use owing to the need to formally line and mark out bays and restrict parking on corners. This will result in more residents having to find somewhere else to park. The only way to remedy this would be to restrict the number of permits each household could buy to one.
However, it was considered by the Ward Councillors that it would not be acceptable to abandon the scheme and that a 2nd consultation should be carried out advising residents of how many parking spaces they would lose, and the results of the parking survey. Residents should be offered the choice of losing spaces or restricting permit ownership to one car. Consideration would have to be given to levying a charge on top of the permit costs to pay for the evening enforcement costs.
What we have done
Further discussions with the Ward Councillors and Constituency have taken place to agree how to proceed.
What we still need to do
A second stage consultation will shortly take place and residents will be written to. Further details will be provided here.

Open Source the Driver!
I've been waiting a few years now for an x86-64 nVidia driver - now that we're at the point where it's almost inevitable to have 4 GB+ of RAM, I'm having trouble.
With regards to FreeBSD, the developers seem to be holding the position that the driver can be created using the existing API. nVidia's position is that FreeBSD needs to offer the same or similar calls that Linux/Solaris does.
Your opposition, ATI, has opened up its specs in the meantime.
Why not release the driver open source? That will correct the x86-64 FreeBSD issue. It will allow the driver to be ported to NetBSD and OpenBSD. It will make PC/Desktop BSD releases viable like Ubuntu.
nVidia developers won't need to struggle as much - ports and updates will be added by various developers around the world, and the nVidia developers can merely add new support.
I don't see how this can hurt nVidia.
I can guarantee that it will hurt nVidia if ATI manages to get a viable driver across all these operating systems. I can't speak for everyone, but I've been purchasing and recommending nVidia for the past few years specifically because of better driver support.
It's the geeks running this tiny market share of OSes, and the geeks who recommend particular hardware brands to their families and friends.

in my opinion a boy should look like his daddy down there. we won't be doing it, as by bf is still intact. my sister on the other hand had her ds circ because her dh is. personally, i would like to have it done, because i believe its more hygenic, but couldnt bear having to answer "why dont i look like daddy??" questions in the future. that and my bf is against it as well.
Good luck!!

I mean, For or against circing. I have to agree with Puppyluv here. A video of a mother meanly and maliciously beating her child is worse then that video every damn day, and before you get on your soap box, yes I watched it. Also for the record, my son will not be Circed. But that statement blew me away. I have thus far managed to stay the hell out of circing debates. To much previous experience on BBC. But that was a crazy outlandish statement to make. I am all for not circing. But it pisses even me off when people act like it is malicious child abuse.....

I am choosing to have my son circumcised not for any cruel or silly reason. With all that said I agree with pp, you and your dh need to decide together.
I'm not for or against circ, I'm for people making whatever choice they feel comfortable with. For us that was circing.
My son slept through it at 2 days old. They rubbed a little topical number on it and he never woke up through it. It was red for a few days but never caused him discomfort. We followed the aftercare and it healed fine. That's my exp and if we have a boy next time, he will be circed.
You can find research and horror storiees to support either side of this argument.

Persona 4 Golden
Persona 5 ideas: Unleashing personas.

Evokers = (Cool and unique)
Breaking cards = (Kinda lame but still cool)
For Persona 5, instead of guns or cards, the characters should temporarily transform to the Persona they're using. Remember how Igor said "A persona is like a mask you put on to face the hardships in life"? It makes sense that they should "put on" the personas. Like how Yu turned into Izanagi in the P4 intro. After the attack, the character reverts back to his/her human self. Because it would be awkward to see 4 creatures as your party members.
There are many concepts I've read about from other fans, like breaking mirrors, dolls, calling personas from cellphones, punching a hole in the ground where the persona comes out, or simply releasing their personas like Takaya and Adachi. But personally, I think the way to go is transformation, showing off their psyche physically. What do you guys think?
Breaking cards is NOT lame!

They should describe their persona in some way to bring it into being. One member could write notes about it, another could talk about it, another could sketch it another could...sing about it? Perform a play about it? ...I didn't think that through.
TBH, I like the way P4 did it because it tied into the character's fighting styles, which makes sense.
Having to explain your joke doesn't make it clever, but having to have a joke explained to you doesn't make it unfunny.
Girls should do sexy poses and guys should turn SSJ.

Evokers = (Cool and unique)
Unique? It was controversial, not unique. If you've never seen someone point a gun at themselves... well you need to get out to the movies more often.
It was a gimmick. Even the game itself made it out to be a gimmick: they said multiple times it's not a "real" gun, so one must wonder "why shape them that way in the first place?"
Lame? It tied into the theme of tarot cards far better then Evokers. It actually made sense and was not just a gimmick to attract controversy, but rather decent symbolism.
For P5, they will punch themselves in the gut (gimmick) then break the card that is ejected from their mouths (symbolism).

Saying it was controversial (i.e. used as a marketing ploy) = acting like a little girl? ROFL. The logic must be so hilarious that I'd love to hear it. I've seen it many times, so what is there to man up to?
Your attempt at an insult is too stupid for me to contemplate. :)

continued Paul Smith's, like many institutions, is searching for a new path forward at a time when traditional models of higher education are facing questions of sustainability and value. Online classes, industry partnerships and other efforts to attract new students – and revenue – are under development.
Mills, though, acknowledged that work is likely to take years to come to fruition.
"An entrepreneurial spirit is needed, and it needs to come from all of you," Mills wrote the campus community in an email he sent to announce his impending retirement.
"It will be through a combined effort of all at Paul Smith's College – trustees, administration, staff, faculty and alumni – that we successfully meet those challenges, overcome them and realize our potential. And that potential will be reached if we all work toward that goal together, and accept the fact that 'business as usual' will not be sufficient," he wrote.
Saunders acknowledged that these are challenging times for most small, private colleges – and while Paul Smith's isn't immune to these challenges, Saunders said, he emphasized that the college's financial future looks strong. The college's $22 million endowment continues to perform well, he said, and Paul Smith's is in a position to make investments that will attract new students.
The Executive Committee of the college's board met Nov. 6 to finalize plans for conducting a search for a new president.

Ninety-nine per cent of the 4.38-crore applicants who sought services under the Karnataka Sakala Services Act in the last 20 months were satisfied with it, according to a survey. After releasing a booklet containing information about the performance of the Sakala programme, Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister T.B. Jayachandra said on Tuesday that people had received information, compensation, caste certificates and income through the 478 services provided under the scheme. He said the scheme had been awarded ISO certification. According to a survey conducted by the Indian Market Research Bureau, 99 per cent of the applicants were satisfied with the service, Mr. Jayachandra said.
Shalini Rajneesh, Principal Secretary, Department of Personnel and Administrative Reforms, said an award was presented to the State government at the FICCI Conference on Quality Practices-2014 for the citizen-centric initiative. She said people could now contact officials to enquire about the status of their applications. Applicants can also download the Android app from http://sakala.kar.nic.in/Apps /skl.apk
She said 400 officials were punished for their laxity in providing services to applicants. According to Ms. Rajneesh, the success of the Act was because the officials feared that failure to perform would affect their chances of promotions and this would be mentioned in their service records.

Washington, Feb 02: The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has pushed back at a story authored by a former TSA screener, claiming that the problems described are either inaccurate or outdated.
In an article, the former screener revealed TSA workers routinely made fun of peoples' bodies as the images from whole body imaging machines flashed across their monitors in a secure room near the screening area, the Politico reported.
The author also referred to whole-body imaging machines that used backscatter technology.
However, TSA responded saying that many of the procedures and policies referenced in the article are no longer in place or are characterized inaccurately. (ANI)

Stenson shoots 66 to blow away field at Players
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. Henrik Stenson was famous for reasons he never imagined. Two months ago, he was best known as the Swede who stripped down to nothing but his underwear and a golf glove while playing from a water hazard at Doral. Out of curiosity, he searched the Internet and found 143 articles, more news than he ever got for his game.
"I guess I got as much attention off that thing as from my results the last 10 years," he said.
His golf was all the rage Sunday at The Players Championship.
With a final round that was close to perfect, Stenson was the only player to keep bogeys off his card on his way to a 6-under 66 that gave him a four-shot victory, the 10th of his career and by far his biggest.
"This is obviously going to be the latest thing on the resume," Stenson said.
Trailing by five shots on the treacherous TPC Sawgrass, he took advantage of a swift and shocking collapse by Alex Cejka, never had to worry about Tiger Woods and blew away everyone else in firm, fast conditions rarely seen this side of a major.
"I was thinking this that if I could finish in front of Tiger, that might be good enough," said Ian Poulter, who shot a 70 and to finish second. "But I wasn't expecting someone to go out there and shoot 66."
The sun-baked gallery was curious how Cejka would fare with a five-shot lead playing in the final group with Woods. Four holes and a little more than an hour into the final round, the lead was gone. Cejka shot 42 on the front and wound up with a 79.
Focus quickly shifted to Woods, and whether he could rally to win from five shots behind as he did at Bay Hill. But not this time. Woods missed three fairways that led to bogeys on the front nine, and trailed by as many as eight shots on the back nine.
"When you're playing a golf course like this and you don't have it, and the greens are this fast and this hard, you can shoot some pretty high numbers," he said.
Woods managed a 73 to finish eighth, his first top 10 at The Players Championship since he won in 2001, and his 16th consecutive top 10 in stroke-play events worldwide.
Stenson played so well that he had a four-shot leading standing on the 17th tee, his only mission to make sure it found grass beneath it. He kept his bogey-free round in tact to the end, walking off the green with his daughter in his arms.
"It's just going to give me a lot of confidence to go out there and control myself and play as well as I did on the last day at TPC Sawgrass and to hold off such a strong field," he said. "It's just going to give me a lot of confidence going into the majors. Obviously, if I can play as well as I did today, I surely can do it on a Sunday at the majors."

IEEE Launches 400G Ethernet Standards Process 94
from the just-go-straight-to-800 dept.
As of my post there were 8 posts, all pessimistic either stemming from "they will never be able to do it" or "customers wont want to upgrade" or "most of my customers are still 100mb, and thats all anyone will ever need"
Who are you people? This is a cool and exciting new technology. Since when did this become a website full of luddites? (and seriously, the "100mb/640k is enough for everybody" people can go fuck yourselves)
Is all that bandwidth really just wasted on shiny?
You it's all just shiny, the world is going to hell in a handbasket and our youth now love luxury. They have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for their elders and love chatter in place of exercise; they no longer rise when elders enter the room; they contradict their parents, chatter before company; gobble up their food and tyrannize their teachers.
Now if you excuse me, I'll go and install that CentOS VM from the DVD image which downloaded in under an hour, listen to some streaming music and perhaps watch something on iPlayer this evening.
Facetiousness aside, the increase in capacity is great. I can easily share huge files with far-flung co-workers, upload/download whole VM images to IAAS providers, watch video on the net and a whole host of other things.
Oh, and finally, have you seen how fast "download all headers and articles" goes these days on even a busy usenet group? I remember doing that over a modem and it's much better now.
I certainly get my money's worth.

Staff Reporter
BANGALORE: The police on Friday informed the Karnataka High Court that they would take all steps to ensure that non-bailable warrants (NBWs) issued by the courts are served expeditiously.
The police also said that they would put in place a mechanism for serving of NBWs and urged the court to give them a month's time to serve warrants on people living in Bangalore city and three months for those living outside the city.
These submissions were made by the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police K.R. Sreenivasan, who along with Bangalore Commissioner of Police N. Achut Rao and other senior police officials, appeared before the court.
Justice N. Kumar had asked Mr. Sreenivasan to appear before the court after he noticed during the last hearing that warrants and even NBWs issued by the High Court remained unserved.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Coach Brian Kelly concedes Notre Dame got lucky when officials didn't notice the fourth-ranked Fighting Irish used two players wearing the No. 2 when Pittsburgh missed a 33-yard field goal in the second overtime on Saturday.
The Irish (9-0) won 29-26 in the third overtime, but Pitt kicker Kevin Harper should have been given a second chance because Irish cornerback Bennett Jackson and wide receiver Chris Brown were both on the field wearing the same number. Kelly said Sunday it was a coaching mistake. He says he became aware of it after the play.
It was one of several lucky breaks the Irish got in keeping alive their national championship hopes.
Kelly says he doesn't believe teams are lucky. Instead, they are fortunate to find ways to win.
Kelly, who coached Cincinnati to a 12-0 finish in the 2009 regular-season before accepting the Notre Dame job and led Grand Valley State to Division II national championships in 2002 and 2003, said he doesn't believe he's ever had a lucky team.
I think I've had a team that's gotten some breaks along the way. But generally those teams have earned them along the way, he said.
The Irish (9-0) got lucky twice on one play in their 29-26 victory over the Panthers (4-5) on Saturday. In the second overtime, after Notre Dame running back Cierre Wood fumbled as he tried to dive in the end zone, all Pitt had to do to win was kick a field goal. The snap from center was a little high, then Kevin Harper's 33-yard field goal attempt sailed slightly wide right. The second bit of luck occurred when officials didn't notice the Irish had a pair of No. 2s on the field at the same time.
NCAA rules allow teams to have duplicate numbers on a roster, but not on the field at the same time. So the Panthers should have gotten a second chance with wide receiver Chris Brown wearing No. 2 in the backfield leaping to try to block the field goal and cornerback Bennett Jackson wearing No. 2 coming around the right end.
It was a coaching mistake, Kelly said.
It was one of several plays that the Irish got lucky on Saturday. On a fourth-and-4 play for Notre Dame early in the fourth quarter, with the ball on the Pitt 23, Everett Golson threw a pass to Tyler Eifert at the 8-yard line that was broken up by Pitt cornerback K'Waun Williams, who was called for pass interference. Replays appeared to show Williams made a good play. Golson completed an 11-yard touchdown pass to TJ Jones on the next play to cut the lead to 20-12.

Group cites DoJ FOIA policy as reason for anti-transparency 'award'
Wednesday - 3/14/2012, 7:32pm EDT
Sunshine Week — the celebration of government openness and transparency — has led to some dubious honors for certain agencies.
George Washington University's National Security Archive "awarded" the Justice Department the award for 2011 last month for its response to Freedom of Information Act requests and the FOIA policies and guidance that it sets for the rest of government.
Nate Jones, the FOIA Coordinator at George Washington University's National Security Archive, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the "honor" and government openness overall.
Jones also discussed the steps DoJ should take to increase transparency and avoid being a repeat recipient of the Rosemary Award.

Funky Friday: Nothing Butt Cheeky Poolside Art at Hotel Enfrente Arte
Welcome to Funky Friday, a new segment we're trying out which features one photo that we think singularly expresses a hotel's inner psyche. We look for, and often find, a lot of wacky, wild and wondrous designs that seem to have one thing in common: a Type A personality. So why not have a bit of fun as we all wrap up our week by taking a quick look at some hotels that quite frankly, want our attention.

So why not have a bit of fun as we all wrap up our week by taking a quick look at some hotels that quite frankly, want our attention.
Hotel Enfrente Arte in Ronda, Spain, offers its own unique take on hotel art-- as in "take a seat," which is its mantra and basis of its eclectic design. They happily do not take themselves too seriously, describing their accommodation as "bohemian, alternative, funky…." We find this subject fitting, so to speak, for this week's unofficial, end-of-summer, poolside Funky Friday edition.

We've been looking for— and think we have found—a worthy Funky Friday subject that is especially eye catching from the outside. It would be almost impossible not to be drawn to this extravaganza of color, light, and imagery that is free to guests and passersby of Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom. Things are definitely looking up at this hotel, as these expressive ceilings clearly dominate the lobby lounge, Le Loft Restaurant on the 18th floor, even the drive-up entrance court.

Shepard Fairey Has Brought Some 'Peace' To The Line Hotel
There are already so many cool things to see at The Line Hotel in Los Angeles from the ruched t-shirts that adorn the ceiling above the check-out desk to the crazy, geometric-shaped lobby seating to the "donuts" on the pillows and the Roy Choi restaurant, POT. But now, there's something else to admire at The Line Hotel.
Contemporary street artist, Shepard Fairey, the man behind the Obama "Hope" poster, has created a 10-story mural on the facade of the property called, "Peace Tree. Notice Fairey's trademark Obey Giant face in the center.
While the finished product is pretty sweet to look at, the time-lapse video is way better, especially the shot from inside one of the guest rooms.
The hotel says the Peace Tree is the first in a series of revolving art that will be featured on the hotel's wall. We just hope it's not too quickly revolving, we'd like to look at this Peace Tree for a while.

Whiteout Is Art at Palace Hotel Tokyo
A casual glance at the above photo of the lobby at Palace Hotel Tokyo shows a number of things: gleaming grey marble, moss-green carpet and bench, painting, flower arrangement, chandeliers.
The painting isn't the only piece of art in the photo though, with the white wall behind reception revealing its secret as you get closer: it isn't just a white wall, it's a whiteout wall. More specifically, it is a mixture of artificial marble, crystal powder, and whiteout correction fluid (!) brought together to depict endangered species of Japanese flowers. Talk about symbolism – a close up just below.

Andaz Liverpool Street's Room With A View Will Give You An Arty Andazm
One of the reasons we've always liked London's Andaz Liverpool Street is that, despite it being a largely business hotel in the City of London, it's always pushed the envelope with art projects, fashion things, Readers in Residence and so on. Another reason we've always liked Andaz Liverpool street is that, despite its business-ness, it's always given a shout out to its East London roots.
So now we love it even more with the launch of Room With A View: a year-long series of "East London street art rooms" – basically, four rooms hand-painted by East London street artists.
The project starts with The Pearly Room by Chris Price: a black and white riot of pearly kings and queens amongst the spires of Shoreditch.

The Beaumont London Shows Off Its 'ROOM' and First Renderings
When we walked by Corbin and King's upcoming The Beaumont hotel earlier this year, the white 1920s Art Deco former parking garage was gleaming in the pale February sun, except for one part of the hotel's southern façade still obscured by scaffolding.
No more today, as you can see above: this is "ROOM", a three-story sculpture of a crouching man by Antony Gormley, commissioned for the hotel. But "ROOM" is not "just" a piece of art; it's doing double duty as the bedroom – lined with fumed oak – of one of the hotel's suites. There will be a total of 50 rooms, 13 studios, and 10 suites inside The Beaumont, and along with the unveiling of "ROOM", we have a first few renderings of what the interiors will look like.

Artist Who Did McDonald's World Cup French Fry Box Also Left His Mark at This Hotel
If you caught the first World Cup game yesterday like we did, you may have noticed a strange advertisement on the board surrounding the pitch. The ad simply said #fryfutbol. No, not #tryfutbol. #fryfutbol. What.the.heck?
It turns out it's actually an ad for, who else?, McDonalds. The fast food chain has gotten in on the World Cup fever by redoing their french fry boxes with 12 different designs. This is the first time the boxes have ever been sold with a different design. And the Brazilian street artist who did the The World United By Soccer design, Eduardo Kobra, recently painted a mural for The Hotel Matilda in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
Kobra painted the hotel's exterior in a "blazing rainbow of colors" during the San Miguel Art Festival and it completely fits the contemporary design vibe of the Matilda. Sadly, the artwork will only remain up on the hotel until the end of the tournament. Here's hoping someone can convince the hotel to leave it up a little longer.

Harry Benson's Photos of The Beatles to (Briefly) Return to The George V Hotel in Paris
We've long known that the Four Seasons, George V Hotel in Paris has hosted many distinguished celebrities over the years (and some reality stars too) but did you know about their Beatles connection?
It turns out, The Beatles made the George V their home base when they were in Paris in 1964. A piano was actually installed in one of the suites and this is where John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote, "I Feel Fine." (This story we knew, the hotel we did not.) That moment was captured by photographer Harry Benson.
Benson also encouraged the lads to have a pillow fight in the room and his pictures of the Fab Four in 1964 are now iconic shots of the boys in their Beatlemania days. Another fun fact? The negatives of these photos were developed in the hotel's bathtub.
Now, the George V is planning to host a brief exhibit of Benson's Beatles photos in their lobby and in front of Le Bar from June 15-June 30. The exhibit will be run by hotel's in-house artistic director, Jeff Leatham.
And (very) lucky for us, Harry Benson himself has answered a few of our questions about his time at the hotel with The Beatles. (Excuse us, while we scream like a teenage girl again and again and again.)

Some More Groovy Art on Display at Chicago's Hotel Palomar
Chicago hotels are really upping their art game. We told you about Radisson Blu Aqua's special photography gallery and now The Hotel Palomar bringing back their popular "Sleeping with the Artist" exhibit.
The series is a partnership with the city's Revolving Collection Gallery, showcasing emerging artists on three floors of the River North hotel. Each of the artist's suites will feature an installation art piece that looks more like cool street art than museum classics.
Each floor is also transformed into its own gallery so a simple walk to the elevator might take a few more minutes as you stop and soak up the creativity. And if you're a guest of the hotel on a frequent basis, you won't get bored since the installations will rotate throughout the year.
Starting rates for a standard queen room hover around $329 and if you just need to "sleep with the artist", a night in the artist suit in June will set you back $609

Chicago's Radisson Blu Now Hanging Vivian Maier Photos in The Lobby
The Radisson Blu Aqua in Chicago changed the city's skyline when it first opened four years ago, the first Radisson Blu on U.S. shores. Now the hotel has made some changes to its lobby, marrying an industrial-style with a modern twist.
Don't worry, they've kept the flashy gold disc wall. But now, the walls opposite this eye-catching feature black and white photography from local artist, Vivian Maier.
Maier, transplanted from the East Coast via Paris, lived on the North Shore of Chicago for 40 years prior to her death and captured the lively street scenes of the Second City in ghostly black and white. Radisson Blu's new lobby features the 11 best pieces from her portfolio, all of which are photos of Chicago's streets and avenues.
The framed images are a perfect addition to the brick walls in the lobby and offer up a little something to look at while enjoying a cocktail (or two) in the cool bar. If your visiting the city and want to see more of the acclaimed artist, head west a few blocks to Harold Washington Library where a full exhibition is on display until September.
Rates at the Radisson Blu start around $340 a night for a weekend in early June.

More Hotel Street Art: Xenz Murals at the Renovated Malmaison London
We've seen street art as a temporary exhibit at London hotels, but Malmaison is taking things further by making it a permanent feature: working with street artist Xenz, Malmaison London not only has completely new interiors, but a series of intricate murals by his hand throughout the hotel, from the lobby to the guestrooms.
We stopped by this week to have a look ourselves, heading over to sun-splashed Charterhouse Square, which the pretty red-brick building – a former nurses' home – faces. It's a quiet corner just north of Smithfield Market / the Barbican and east of Farringdon that's easy to miss, but a short walk takes you into the City or to Holborn and St. Paul's.

Browse & Buy Banksy Street Art at ME London
You've already had a chance to browse street art at ME London last year, but while at the time you were able to make some yourself, this month you can browse and buy: from today, an exhibition entitled "Stealing Banksy?" will display over $8 million of Banksy artworks in the hotel's Norman Foster-designed space-age pyramid atrium.
The exhibition, "exploring the social, legal and moral issues surrounding the sale of street art", includes pieces like 'No Ball Games, 'Liverpool Rat', and 'Balloon Girl' (check them out here), which will all be auctioned off on April 27, with profits going to local charities.
Tickets are still available through this website and cost Ł17.50 ($25), which includes a charitable donation and a copy of 'The Banksy Bulge', a one-off Banksy newspaper created for the occasion.
We found a Vibe Room for just over $500 this coming Saturday, but special offers should be available if you are going to the exhibit by contacting the hotel directly.

"king of the Bingo Game" - Palph Ellison - 1944
First published in the literary journal Tomorrow in November 1944, Ralph Ellison's short story"King of the Bingo Game" explores black men's alienation in white society. In the story, the main character struggles with the reality of his existence. The protagonist feels hopeless: he lives in an unfamiliar city in an unfamiliar part of the country and is further isolated by the threat of his wife's death from a sickness they cannot afford to treat. He is poor, hungry, and afraid of what his future holds. His vulnerable position in society speaks to the plight of blacks living in America at the time the story was written, particularly to those who have come north with hopes of realizing their dreams.
Throughout "King of the Bingo Game," Ellison creates an atmosphere...

Acute Injuries & 'Wear & Tear'
When I had my first meniscus injury it was late in a 2 hour tennis match, I was tired. I back pedaled to cover a lob and jumped up. When I came down I could feel the slight injury. For 2 months a slight pain at that location in my knee did not go away and occasionally my knee would be shaky in some turning positions. 2-3 months later it got much worse with a sudden bone-on-bone sensation, severe pain, scream, fall, etc..
I have viewed that first meniscus injury as an acute injury and no time allowed for healing (or, if not healing, is there cartilage remodeling?). I do not understand what caused the feelings, so speculating -other mini injuries followed the first until the bone-on-bone sudden severe pain which was probably the tibular and fibular articular cartilages contacting each other or muscle spasms pulling my knee joint out of kilter. ?
I view what happened in my meniscus injury as a series of acute injuries over about 2-4 months without any time off to heal. That seems different from the undefined medical term 'wear and tear'. Is wear & tear just failure to allow healing time for very small asymptomatic injuries?
I suppose similar acute injuries could occur directly to the articular cartilages. Under what circumstances does the meniscus protect the articular cartilages?

Tumbleweeds Rug 1 1
gorgeous! This rug is really stunning. But it is green not gray. It's a pretty silvery varigated green. It does not go with my indigo accents at all. But it is so pretty I'm keeping it. So if green is your color, this rug won't disappoint. Btw, the brownish design color is camel, the other design is gray. The 3rd picture is more true to color. March 5, 2013

without a run. At some point, Brook Jacoby's name needs to come up here.
21 innings
That's gotta be on Dusty's philosophies more than anything. The hitters that we have that are struggling (Griffey, Dunn, Patterson) should have a clue how to get out of a slump at this point in their careers.
"The Hall of Fame is there to keep alive the memory of people. You don't need to do that with people like Buck [O'Niel] and Joe [Nuxhall]. Nobody's forgetting those guys."
- Joe Posnanski
I think it is unfair to place all the blame on Dusty on all points.
Freel has swung the bat better and Votto/ Kepp have been doing the job so do we give Dusty props for that?
Stephenk29, my last comment wasnt directed at you but rather everyone placing all the blame on Dusty. I think it goes both ways.
If some guys do it, then how can we just blame Dusty for those that arent.
hey but we do have our typical 1 run on 4 hits tonight
Dunn is struggling? Looks like he's playing the same way as always to me.
The Jockety Regime is off to a Great Start...
Dunn and Griffey just look clueless against lefties this year. Griffey is pulling off the ball more than a 9 year old knothole player. If I was Dusty, I would sit Griffey until he realizes that he can't be swinging for the fences every time.
I'm all for that lineup that dusty ran out there last sunday, bench Griffey and Dunnski for a few games and see what happens. Defense improves tremendously.
DD - Disappointing Dunnski
(Ever seen Mean Streets)
Time to trade the guys midseason if there's anyone who would be crazy enough to take them.

HoopsHype Steve Novak rumors
Did you have any idea around deadline time you'd be thrown in a trade? Steve Novak: Honestly, no. I hadn't heard anything about the possibilities to be honest. It's the trade deadline, so I know it's possible for everyone, but I didn't think it at all. I just got a text, was playing Legos with my son and practice was supposed to be at 2 and it got bumped back to 6, so I thought great I'll just play with my kids. Was playing Legos and got a text from my friend that said 'Congrats on your new team.' And I looked and it was literally two minutes before the trade deadline. Typed my name into Twitter and saw the deal. Oklahoman
As part of the deal, the Jazz traded center Enes Kanter and forward Steve Novak to Oklahoma City, who also received guard D.J. Augustin and forward Kyle Singler from Detroit while sending the Pistons guard Reggie Jackson. NBA.com
Darnell Mayberry: Contrary to reports, Steve Novak is headed to OKC, not Detroit. Twitter @DarnellMayberry
Jody Genessy: You know who's going to be sad about Steve Novak leaving? Joe Ingles. They'd become good friends and were hilarious in the locker room. Twitter @DJJazzyJody
Jody Genessy: Being in Toronto reminds me of how Novak found out he was traded to Utah: Text from Kyle Lowry: "Damn!" "Damn what?" "You've been traded." Twitter @DJJazzyJody
Jazz newcomer Steve Novak, who has played for a variety of coaches in his 10-year career with seven different teams, has been impressed with Snyder and the way he is coaching the Jazz. "It's a little different,'' Novak said. "I've played for guys like Jeff Van Gundy and on the opposite side guys like Mike D'Antoni and in between those guys. I think Quin definitely understands for us to be successful, we have to be good defensively and talks about that a lot. But also offensively that's where he's a great basketball mind. We see that in the film sessions and in the huddles. He has a lot of offensive stuff that we haven't even scratched yet.'' Deseret News
The Utah Jazz announced today that the team has acquired forward Steve Novak and the rights to New York's 2017 second round draft pick from the Toronto Raptors in exchange for guard Diante Garrett. Novak (6-10, 235, Marquette), the sixth-most accurate three-pointer shooter in NBA history (min. 250 made), is an eight-year veteran who owns averages of 5.0 points and 1.4 rebounds in 13.0 minutes over 414 career games with Houston, L.A. Clippers, Dallas, San Antonio, New York and Toronto. His career .432 (548-1,268) three-point percentage is second only to Golden State's Stephen Curry (.440) among all active players, while his career .892 free throw percentage would rank fourth if he had enough attempts to qualify. NBA.com
Traded again? To Utah? On Independence Day? What!?! "It was the Fourth of July. I didn't have any idea that you could get traded on a national holiday," Novak said, laughing, Saturday evening in a phone interview with the Deseret News. "I didn't think GMs worked so hard." Deseret News
In a move to create salary cap space, the Toronto Raptors have reached an agreement to send Steve Novak to the Utah Jazz, league sources told Yahoo Sports. Yahoo! Sports
Along with Novak and the two years and $7.2 million left on his contract, the Raptors will send a future second-round draft pick to Utah, sources said. The deal can't be completed until the league's moratorium ends on Thursday. Yahoo! Sports
Steve Novak: Pretty cool to have @Jason Kidd in Milwaukee. New owners off to a good start in a great city! Twitter
Casey said top shooter Steve Novak's hand is healing and he's expected to be in the lineup against Boston. "Novak has been full tilt, full practice, we anticipate him being ready to go. He's shot the ball well yesterday and today, so I hope that's a good sign," Casey said. Toronto Sun

Shareholders are to provide €650 million ($850 million) to fund the work required to open the troubled Berlin Brandenburg airport.
The figure - of which an initial tranche of €192 million was provided in January - has been disclosed as the new chief executive, Hartmut Mehdorn, outlined an action plan, designated Sprint, to the airport's supervisory board.
Sprint is intended to "ensure a swift and reliable opening", the airport operator says, and will require changes of processes and personnel to "accelerate" the programme.
It will be run from a dedicated project office and bring together the remaining construction work, approvals, trial runs and the opening plan. Sprint also involves setting up a centre of competence to oversee the technical aspects of the programme.
"Remaining work at [Brandenburg] will be divided up into 20 to 30 modules," says Mehdorn. "Our technical centre of competence will rely on both internal and external know-how, and we will talk to everyone who can make a positive contribution to the swift opening of [the airport]."
Sprint will also incorporate all training for transfer and operational readiness.
Supervisory board chairman Matthias Platzeck says the new plan is the "right decision" for the airport, which has been substantially delayed by last-minute problems, particularly with its safety systems.
Since Mehdorn's appointment, he says, the operator is "clearly noticing that things are moving forward".
Germany's federal government has provided €50 million of the first tranche, with the other €142 million split equally between the local administrations of Berlin and Brandenburg.
Operations at Berlin's current airports - Tegel and Schonefeld, due to be succeeded by Brandenburg - will be overseen by a new head of operations, Elmar Kleinert.

+[Unity of Command in Afghanistan: A Forsaken Principle of War COL Ian hope]
Brief Synopsis
This Carlisle Paper discusses the traditional importance of unity of command in American doctrine and practice from World War I until now, and how this principle has been forsaken in the evolution of military command for Afghanistan. It examines the unprecedented departure from the principle of unity of command in Afghanistan in 2006, when Combined Forces Command-Afghanistan passed control of the ground fight to the International Security Assistance Force, and operations became split between several unified or "supreme" commanders in charge of U.S. Central Command, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and U.S. Special Operations Command. It argues for a renewal of understanding of the importance of unity of command, and recommends that the United States revert to the application of this principle by amending the Unified Command Plan to invest one "supreme commander" with responsibility for the current Operation ENDURING FREEDOM Joint Operations Area.

You could bike, jog, walk and do anything that

No matter if you are male of female try to
enjoy the weather at the end of the fall and
the winter.
Eat ice cream, drink fresh juice, smile at kids
faces or show them how many fish you got if
you were fishing.
this has been the coolest outdoor experience i've had since i left london. i like to be outdoor, in a suburb or where i can take fresh pure breaths and gaze at the black flat face of the sky with the twinkling eyes of the stars. Kado has introduced me to this outdoor activity group who usually goes out in the desert and does some activities. Since it was St Patrick Day, everyone dressed in green, had green and white hats and socks, and just hanged the Irish flags over their cars, even though they probably weren't Irish themselves;^)
We formed a big circle so newbees like me would get acquainted with the group, and those with new shoes would get their footwear literally wasted and en-old,lol. There's also an initiation ritual where the newbees would be standing in the middle of the circle, waiting for their destiny to be 'fought' by fanta, coke, 7UP and pepsi,lol. There was that poor guy showing off his new shoes just to be pushed to pour that thick green liquid into his left shoe, drink it, then spill it over his head and body, goodness! that was fun watching,lol.
Then the group was divided into two: main run and mini run; the main would be faster and more challenging, following the marks in the vast desert to collect thorns or spikes or whatever the instructions are that day, of course including hiking and fast walking; the mini run would only be hiking around the hills in a big circle until the meeting point again.
the problem with carrying out such activities is how to get there. it's a long drive from the city centre and you must know your way around in the desert and familiar with the roads too
but all in all, i'm a woman, unable to drive, so always will find someone to show me the way, hehe
Equipment: old trainers
sports shorts if it is summer though i recommend long trousers to protect the legs against the desert spikes
a bottle of water
skin protection cream
coats as it sometimes gets very cool and windy down to 15C even though it could have been 30 in the afternoon!!
