Doug and Sandy Poteet of Hodgenville have been turning a lot of eyes this summer as they drive through the streets of town and nearby countryside.
Actually, they're not causing the double takes so much as the vehicle they're riding – an olive drab Russian military motorcycle complete with side car and red stars.
"It's a DNEPR (pronounced D-KNEE-PRO) Model MT 16, produced in Kiev, Ukraine, the same model used in the Indiana Jones movie with Sean Connery as his father," said Poteet, who lives on Eugenia Avenue in Hutcherson Heights.
Winter squash, which includes acorn squash, butternut squash, pumpkin and other varieties, is low in fat and sodium. It is an excellent source of vitamin A and fiber. Store winter squash and pumpkins in a cool, dry place and use within one month.
Fort Knox Federal Credit Union broke ground for a new office in Meade County Sept. 25.
The announcement for the new facility came just weeks after the credit union held a ground-breaking ceremony in Hodgenville.
The Brandenburg office has been in existence five years. It will be replaced by a free-standing building.
The play "Ain't No Massa Ova Me" will be performed 4 p.m. Oct. 3 at the Hodgenville Civic Center, 200 S. Lincoln Blvd. Tickets are $10.
The musical drama revolves around two sisters who suffered many hardships but fought to escape slavery in war torn Kentucky – and the impact of Abraham Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation.
Call 502-409-1716 for more information.
First Baptist Hodgenville was host to the South District Youth March for Christ on Saturday morning. The South District is composed of nine counties including Boyle, Washington and Lincoln counties.
Eight churches were represented with about 80 people attending. Each church represented had banners and shirts with their logo.
Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse delivered greetings from the city. There were individual classes for primary, intermediate and adults.
Signups for the Conservation Stewardship Program will be accepted through Wednesday, Sept. 30. CSP is a voluntary program that encourages agricultural and forestry producers to maintain existing conservation activities and adopt additional ones on their operations.
Unlike the Conservation Security Program under the 2002 Farm Bill, which was available only in designated watersheds, CSP is available statewide.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very fine set of the 'other' Bach Sonatas,
Neil Ford "Neil" (London) - See all my reviews
There's some glorious playing in this set, beautfully recorded in a rich church acoustic. Bach's 'other' violin sonatas are unformly inspired containing some of his his most glorious music (especially the E major sonata). Grumiaux's artistry is flawless, breathtakingly seamless legato, full and rich tone (what a lovely instrument he plays!). To hear these works with Harpsichord is refreshing, and fortunately Christiane Jaccottet plays an instrument that sounds right for Bach's music rather than the kind of beast that Landowska advocated.
If I have a quibble with the interpretations, the slow movements are too fast lack then sense of wonder and repose that the great Glenn Gould & Jamie Laredo set found. Gould and Laredo dig a lot deeper into the music and the effect is profoundly spiritual, really one of the most extraordinary CDs ever made.
For a 'modern' (as opposed to 'period') performance of these wonderful works then Grumiaux is a good bet. For period fans then Andrew Manze is very good. For an alternative and hugely involving view of these works then dig out Glenn Gould and Jamie Laredo on Sony.

5.0 out of 5 stars a collection you can trust,
hillbank68 "almac1975" (Fife, Scotland) - See all my reviews
This music is so wonderful that it needs absolutely no special pleading - just completely accurate, musical playing, and that is exactly what you get here. Nothing gets in the way of the notes, the flow of the movements. It's art concealing art, in a way - it all sounds so natural and unforced that it is easy almost to forget the peformers and the difficulties that this music imposes on them ; but for repeated listening, that's what you want. Quirky, 'clever', 'revelatory' approaches get in the way ; Bach doesn't need them. In addition, this is a very inexpensive set and it is absolutely cleanly and beautifully recorded. You really cannot go wrong.

5.0 out of 5 stars Line of beauty,
William Shardlow (London, UK) - See all my reviews
I agree with the other reviewer, Neil Ford, who applauds Grumiaux's "seamless legato" and "beautiful tone", but disagree with his comments about the slow movements' being too fast, and lacking a sense of wonder and repose. I can't imagine anything with more wonder and repose! At least as much as I've found in Glenn Gould (though I'm yet to try Gould and Laredo...) For a different approach, with equal beauty and wonder, try Podger & Pinnock's versions. For more Grumiaux, try Mozart's Violin Concertos.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some of the best violin playing ever,
Matt Westwood (Reading, UK) - See all my reviews
This, together with the Complete Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin, constitues some of the most exciting violin playing that can be found by J.S.Bach. Grumiaux plays his fiddle with a fiery passion that is enhanced very effectively not only by the sparkling accompaniment, but also by the wonderful acoustics of the studio in which the set was recorded. Thoroughly worth while adding this to your collection, proving once again that this series of releases is hard to beat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bach Violin / Grumiaux,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
I suppose that purist would argue that this is not the sound that Bach would have heard but of all the versions of these pieces, I like this one best. He has a smoothness and warmth rather than a clinical soul-less accuracy. He doesn't just play the music---he loves every note. The same could be said of Isolde Menges's versions on old 78s, although the style is different.

It is so wonderful to be called dear.
If it's said heartfelt. With ease.
There is a young hipster waiter in San Francisco in the Mission District who works at a hip Vietnamese restaurant, who always wears a tablecloth around his skinny jeans.. Even though he's only 20 something, he always calls his customers, "My Dear."
"My dear, are you all right? Do you need more water?"
"My dear! Your pho is coming out soon."
Of course, there is another way to say this, with that husky voice by a man almost 4 decades older than the waiter lad.
It takes on an old fashioned, affectionate, natural, gracious, protective tone. At first it was very strange, and now I can't live without it.

Defense Acquisitions:
Observations on the Department of Defense Service Contract Inventories for Fiscal Year 2008
GAO-10-350R: Published: Jan 29, 2010. Publicly Released: Jan 29, 2010.
Additional Materials:

- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7773
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense (DOD) is the federal government's largest purchaser of contractor-provided services and relies on contractors to support its varied missions. DOD's contractors provide a range of services, such as consulting and administrative support, information technology services, and weapon system and base operations support. However, DOD contract management has been on our high-risk list since 1992, and our recent work continues to identify weaknesses in DOD's management and oversight of services contracts. In particular, we have reported on the need for reliable data on how service acquisition dollars are spent to make informed contract management decisions and achieve positive acquisition outcomes. Congress has enacted legislation in recent years to increase the availability of information on services acquisitions to improve DOD's ability to manage these purchases. As part of those efforts, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 amended 10 U.S.C. 2330a to require DOD to submit an annual inventory of the activities performed pursuant to contracts for services for or on behalf of DOD during the preceding fiscal year. These inventories are to contain a number of different elements for the service contracts listed, including information on the functions and missions performed by the contractor, the funding source for the contract, and the number of contractor full-time equivalents (FTE) working under the contract. Once compiled, the inventories are to be reviewed by senior DOD officials and used to inform a variety of acquisition and workforce decisions.
In July 2009, DOD transmitted a report to Congress containing the inventories for fiscal year 2008, in which the Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force identified $96 billion spent to acquire contractor services and 596,219 contractor FTEs providing services. In compiling their respective inventories, the military departments used different methodologies, relying on a mixture of existing data systems, contractor-entered data, manual compilation of some data elements, or estimates. Key differences between the departments' methodologies include how they identified service contracts, the categories of services included in each inventory, and how they determined the number of contractor FTEs. Furthermore, the data reported in each of the inventories were not complete. DOD has acknowledged limitations associated with the methodologies used and currently has an effort under way to develop a new, more consistent approach for compiling future inventories.

PRLog - May 23, 2012 - MONTVALE, N.J. -- Memorial Day Weekend 2012 is here and so is pool season!
New Jersey Memorial Day Weekend: Childrens' Pool Safety
North Jersey families are opening their pools for the summer season. Mybergen.com and Bruce Bagin of B&B Pool and Spa Center want to remind pool owners of the importance of child safety around the pool.
Beyond all safety devices and features, nothing replaces the ever-present, responsible adult who keeps an eye on children at all times when they are in your inground swimming pool.
It's the law: Inground swimming pools and spas that have flat drain covers must be replaced with anti-entrapment covers. Inground pools or spas with broken, missing, or outmoded flat drain covers that are replaced with anti-entrapment covers can prevent dangerous accidents.
For further inground swimming pool safety, all your doors, windows, and fences leading to the pool or spa area should be equipped with self-closing, self-latching devices to keep the area securely closed and limit access by children. Inground swimming pool owners may choose to install a removable safety fence that is at least four feet high to temporarily isolate the inground pool when small children are around.
The State of New York requires alarms in new or remodeled inground swimming pools and spas, with the exception of inground pools with automatic safety covers and spas with approved safety covers. These alarms sound upon detecting accidental or unauthorized entry into the water.
To provide additional layers of protection around your inground swimming pool, owners should use a rope or float line to alert swimmers to the separation of the deep end from the shallow end of your inground pool. Rescue equipment such as a life ring and shepherd's hook should be placed near your pool in an easily accessible spot and kept in good condition. At the same time, toys, particularly tricycles or wheel toys, which could cause a child to accidentally fall into the water, should be kept away from your inground pool or spa.
Again, the bottom line is that, even with all these layers of protection, nothing replaces a responsible adult to keep an eye on children at all times.
Bruce Bagin is the President of B&B Pool and Spa Center of Chestnut Ridge, New York.

Tackles: Earl Everett,
Jarvis Moss, 7.5
Interceptions: Earl Everett, Kyle Jackson, 2
Star of the defense: Junior LB Brandon Siler
Player that has to step up and become a star: Junior LB
Brian Crum
Unsung star on the rise: Sophomore LB Jon Demps
Best pro prospect: Senior FS Reggie Nelson
Top three all-star candidates: 1) Siler, 2) LB Earl
Everett 3) Nelson
Strength of the defense: Defensive end, safety
Weakness of the defense:
Depth at linebacker and cornerback
Defensive Line
Can anyone outside of the SEC name a player
on one of the best lines in America? It's an unsung group that has at
least three potential All-SEC talents if everything comes together.
Marcus Thomas decided not to turn pro and should be a terror in the
middle. Jarvis Moss will be a serious threat to set the record as the
school's all-time single season sacker if he sees plenty of one-on-one
coverage. There's more than enough depth to get the type of rotation
that defensive coordinator Greg Mattison wants to employ.
The key to the unit: Marcus Thomas and Steven Harris
have to be rocks against the run so Jarvis Moss, Ray McDonald, Derrick
Harvey and Darryl Gresham can focus just on rushing the passer.
Defensive Line Rating: 9
Projected Starters
- DE Ray McDonald, Sr. - 8 tackles, 1 sack, 3 TFL
One of the team's most talented defensive players at either tackle or
end, McDonald started the first three games of the year on the outside
before getting knocked out with a knee injury. After a few few random
appearances, he then suffered a torn ACL and missed the rest of the
season.. He's 280 pounds and fast enough to be a reliable pass rusher as
long as his legs hold up.
- NT Marcus Thomas, Sr. - 45 tackles, 4 sacks, 10.5 TFL
The Honorable Mention All-SEC performer flirted with the idea of turning
pro early before deciding to come back. A likely early first day draft
pick last
year, the 290-pound senior can up his stock with a big season and
showing off even more as an interior pass rusher. He's the leader in the
middle and should be even stronger against the run with the improvement
of the rest of the line around him.
- DT Steven Harris, Sr. - 17 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 4.5 TFL
Harris started every game at tackle and now needs to emerge as more of a
playmaker. He's a quick 6-4, 285-pound former end with enough experience
to be a steadier interior pass rusher.
- DE Jarvis Moss, Jr. - 25 tackles, 7.5 sacks, 11 TFL
Is Moss going to emerge as more than just a devastating situational pass
rusher? He has the speed, the 6-6 frame, and the closing ability to have
a double-digit sack season. So far he has gotten by on pure speed
running as fast as he can into the backfield and usually coming up with
great results. Now he appears on the verge of becoming a stronger all-around defender.
Top Backups
- DE Derrick Harvey, Soph. - 6 tackles
He has million dollar talent and now should be ready to show it off
after being lost in the shuffle as a freshman. The coaching staff will
make a concerted effort to get him into the rotation behind Ray McDonald
to develop into something special. He's by no means a finished product
needing time to work on his technique.
- DT Clint McMillan, Jr. - 3 tackles
A bowling ball of a tackle at 6-1 and 262 pounds, McMillan was
tremendous this spring when he got a chance to show what he can do. He
has strong potential as a pass rusher and his motor is always running.
- DE Darryl Gresham, RFr.
Gresham moves from linebacker to defensive end bringing even more speed
to the outside. He'll combine with Jarvis Moss in a steady rotation and
will be used mostly as a pass rusher.
Brandon Siler and Earl Everett will be one of the SEC's
best 1-2 linebacking punches, and then all bets are off. Brian Crum
looks the part, but has yet to show off any of his skills on a regular
basis. If he doesn't rock on the strongside and if Jon Demps isn't 100%
healthy after seeing his promising true freshman season cut short, there
could be trouble.
The key to the unit: Staying healthy and making more
plays in the backfield.
Linebacker Rating: 8
Projected Starters
- Brian Crum, Jr. - 13 tackles, 1 TFL
Crum has to replace Todd McCullough on the strongside; that's shouldn't
be too hard. He's the team's most athletic linebacker, but the light
hasn't gone on yet. He has had some decent moments where he looks like a
potential playmaker, and now he'll have to be consistent.
- Brandon Siler, Jr. - 64 tackles, 4 sacks, 9 TFL, 4 broken up
passes, 7 quarterback hurries
While he didn't dominate like he did as a freshman, Siler still had a
strong sophomore season finishing second on the team in tackles for 141
in his first two seasons. He's a great pass rusher and more than strong
in pass coverage. If he can be a bit more physical against power running
teams, he'll be an All-SEC star.
- Earl Everett, Sr. - 72 tackles, 2.5 sacks, 3.5 TFL, 2
interceptions, 4 broken up passes
Everett is a tackling machine leading the team last year and with 198
stops in his first three seasons. He's the total package with speed,
quickness, and good size at 6-2 and 231 pounds. Now he has to use all of
his skills and all of his experience to make more big plays on the
Top Backups
- Jon Demps, Soph. - 6 tackles
A knee injury kept Demps from what was expected to be a huge true
freshman season. He's a tall, rangy player with the strength to play
inside behind Brandon Siler and the speed to push Brian Crum for a job
on the strongside.
- Ryan Stamper, RFr.
Able to play either outside linebacker position, the 6-1, 228-pound
Stamper will be moved around where needed. He could still stand to get a
bit bigger, but he's stronger after hitting the weights hard this
Defensive Backs
Things aren't that bad despite losing three very good
starters in Dee Webb, Vernell Brown and
Jarvis Herring. It all starts with the supremely talented Reggie Nelson,
who spent most of last year as a nickel back and made plays all over the
field. He's a next-level talent at either safety position. Tony Joiner
and Kyle Jackson help to solidify a great safety situation. Corner is
another story needing Reggie Lewis to go from being a nice backup to a
reliable number one, and hoping for Tremaine or Jermaine McCollum to be ready to roll on
the other side.
The key to the unit: The corners have to rock-solid
and durable or else true freshmen will have to play key roles.
Secondary Rating: 8
Projected Starters
- CB Reggie Lewis, Sr. - 11 tackles, 1 interception, 6
broken up passes, 3 fumble recoveries
The former wide receiver saw a little bit of time as a starter last year
and turned out to be a big-play performer when he was a reserve. His one
interception came to seal the win in the battle with Vanderbilt, and he
returned a blocked field goal for a score against Florida State. He has
to grow into a shutdown corner role on the left side.
- FS Reggie Nelson, Jr. - 46 tackles, 4 sacks, 1interception, 1
broken up pass
The star JUCO transfer turned into one of the team's best all-around
defenders with a tremendous blend of speed and hitting ability. He can
play anywhere in the secondary with strong enough coverage skills to
play corner and the tackling talents to play either safety spot. Free
safety is the best fit since it allows him to roam, but he'll be moved
around where needed.
- SS Tony Joiner, Jr. - 27 tackles, 1 TFL, 1 interception, 1
broken up pass
It'll be up to Joiner to replace Jarvis Herring, and he should be more
than fine if he plays as well as he did this spring. His emergence
allows Reggie Nelson and Kyle Jackson to spend their time at free
safety. The 208-pound Joiner is a strong hitter with the quickness to
play free safety if needed.
CB Tremaine McCollum, Sr. - 5 tackles
McCollum saw his role diminish into almost nothing after a solid
sophomore season. He's a tough 5-8 and 175 pounds with enough experience
to see far more time this year.
Top Backups
- FS Kyle Jackson, Jr. - 34 tackles, 2 interceptions
A good enough tackler to play strong safety if needed, Jackson is a more
natural free safety. He got the starting not over the first six games
before losing out midway through the year to Tony Joiner and Reggie
Nelson. He's a tough tackler who should play a prominent role as a
nickel back if he doesn't end up starting.
- CB Avery Atkins, Soph. - 9 tackles, 1 interception, 2 broken up
Atkins showed flashes of his potential as a true freshman playing his
best game of the year against Florida State, but he's off the team after some off-the-field issues.
His departure leaves a big hole at corner.
Special Teams
The kicking game is as good as it gets with PK Chris
Hetland and P Eric Wilbur each good enough to be on All-America short
lists. Finding steady returners will be a work in progress after
mediocre production last season. The coverage units were among the best
in the nation; there's no reason to assume any sort of a dip.
The key to the unit: Hope for similar seasons from
Chris Hetland and Eric Wilbur and get more big plays from the returners.
Special Team Rating: 9
Projected Starters
- PK Chris Hetland, Sr. - 13-16 FGs, 38-40 extra points
The former walk-on turned into an All-SEC performer after a great year
showing excellent range connecting ten of 11 shots from beyond 30 yards.
Jonathan Phillips will handle the kickoffs, but Hetland has the leg to
be effective as well.
- P Eric Wilbur, Sr. - 59 punts, 2,459 yds, 41.7 yards per kick,
22 inside the 20
Arguably the best punter in the school's
history, Wilbur will be on the short list for the Ray Guy Award after a
brilliant freshman season. He can do it all from blasting the ball to
pinning teams deep. He worked extremely well with the coverage team
helping the Gators finish ninth in the nation in net punting.

Neanderthals, humans and interbreeding: old bones, new evidence
For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.

For Evangelicals interested in the evolutionary history of our species, the results of a new study are a "smoking gun" for human/Neanderthal interbreeding.
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
These finds open up a new horizon of research into the earliest hominins and how they lived. They also provide us with even more clues in our ongoing search for the last common ancestor.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
If, according to evolutionary theory, the human species has evolved from non-human ancestors over the course of hundreds of thousands of years, how might we understand humans as uniquely bearing the image of God?
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Jim Stump explores the meaning of the Lenten season from the perspective of evolutionary creation.
St. Thomas Aquinas helps us understand how the image of God in man might have developed through evolution.
We need safe places in which to raise the complex issues of submitting wholeheartedly to the authority of God's Word in the Scriptures while wrestling with the important findings and perspectives in the natural sciences.
When non-believers in France or in Spain read what young-earth creationists are writing about evolution, geology, or astrophysics, they frequently conclude that the Bible is at best an interesting fairy tale.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.
From 2012: The dictionaries I checked don't define the term, "theistic evolution," so I offer my own definition: the belief that God used the process of evolution to create living things, including humans.
From the archives: With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
The story of the Genesis Rock reminds us of how biblical and scientific accounts, despite their different purviews and purposes, remain inexorably linked in our understanding of origins.

To me, the whole imaging and viewing process must become one to be truly successful. Some photographers never get into the darkroom or do the printing themselves. They capture the image and leave the rest to others.
I just cannot do that. I would feel like missing 50% of the creative process. So, it must be image capture plus image manipulation. But why stop there?
The mount, the mat and the frame highlight the print. They assure a proper 'environment' and eliminate surrounding 'noise'. That's part of the viewing experience. To me, it's part of the creative process. I want it to be part of my creative process. It cannot be left to others without potentially changing the appearance of the 'whole' print.
I can take this further (and often do):
1. What color and texture does the display wall have?
It matters!
2. Is it hung alone or as a panel? What's the arrangement?
Some images work great on the right side of a panel but disturb the optical balance if shown on the left!
3. Is sufficient lighting used? Is it too bright? Is glare reduced?
Dim lighting makes for muddy images and dead shadows. Too much light is rare but it can kill midtones and highlights. Glare is a nuisance, and annoyed customers don't buy.
Over the top? Maybe, but I can tell you, points 1 to 3 can make the difference between a mediocre and a successful display. And if that's the case, mounting, matting and framing will make a huge difference!
Don't leave that to others, unless they can do it better than you can. If so, let them do it, but I would consider learning it is another step towards perfection.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Firefighter Firefighter A Canadian firefighter The Rescue 1855 painting by John Everett Millais, depicting a fireman rescuing three children from a house fire, with their mother receiving them back into her arms. the fire brigade or fire department, are some of the emergency services. Firefighting and firefighters have become ubiquitous around the world, from wildland areas to urban areas, and on board ships. An American firefighter Firefighters are rescuers extensively trained primarily to put out hazardous fires that threaten civilian populations and property, to rescue people from car accidents, collapsed and burning buildings and other such situations. The increasing complexity of modern industrialized life with an increase in the scale of hazards has stimulated both advances in firefighting technology and a broadening of the firefighter-rescuer's remit. They sometimes provide emergency medical services. The fire service, or fire and rescue service also known in some countries as Firefighting worldwide Further information: Firefighting worldwide In some countries, including Australia, Canada, Finland, Germany, New Zealand, Sweden and the United States, there are often paid, or professional career firefighters working. Additionally, there are volunteer firefighters (who are theoretically unpaid) and retained firefighters (sometimes called on call firefighters, who are paid for the specific time they are on duty, i.e. permanent part-time career firefighters) on 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In such countries as the United Kingdom and Ireland, the use of additional retained firefighters is standard. In Portugal, the use of volunteer firefighters is standard, along with career firefighters. In Australia there are volunteer brigades which are mostly unpaid rural services (although traditionally they are paid by their employers if called out during working hours). In Germany, volunteer fire departments, called the "Freiwillige Feuerwehr", are established in every town: even the biggest German city, Berlin, with more than 3.6 million inhabitants, has volunteer firefighters besides a career fire service. In fact, only 100 German cities (most of them are towns with more than 100,000 inhabitants) have a career fire service, called the "Berufsfeuerwehr," but in every one of these cities a volunteer fire service exists, too. In cities with a career fire service, volunteer fire brigades support the career fire service at big fires, accidents and disasters. Many of the so-called volunteer departments (usually in towns with 35,000 to 150,000 inhabitants), except in very small towns and villages, are a mixed service of a core of career firemen who are supported by true volunteer firefighters should the need arise. However, the official title of those departments is nevertheless "volunteer fire service". Firefighter they contribute to community life, usually by organizing fairs and other fund-raising activities. In Venezuela, there are, beside the types mentioned above, University Firefighters. They attend any emergency inside the campus and the zones around; however, their most important job is to develop new technologies in this area, thanks to the high level of education of its members: in the Simón Bolívar University Volunteer Fire Department, around 80% of its members have a university degree or are in the process of obtaining one. Vehicles of the Tokyo fire department. In India municipalities are bound by law to have a fire brigade and participate in a regional fire service. Each city has its own fire brigade. The main functions of firefighting services in India are provision of fire protection and of services during emergencies such as building collapses, drowning cases, gas leakage, oil spillage, road and rail accidents, bird and animal rescues, fallen trees, appropriate action during natural calamities, and so on. Industrial corporations also have their own firefighting service. Each airport and seaport has its own firefighting units. In Japan, fire services are organized on a city/town/village basis. There are 894 fire headquarters and 3,598 volunteer fire corps. These have a total of 155,000 active career firefighters and 21,000 vehicles with 4,800 fire houses; 920,000 volunteer firefighters share an additional 51,000 trucks. In Romania, the Romanian General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations is responsible for fire fighting and civil defense. Polish fire truck The structure in Austria is similar to Germany. There are just six career fire services in Vienna, Graz, Innsbruck, Klagenfurt, Salzburg and Linz. As of 2007, some 4,527 volunteer fire departments, the back-bone of the Austrian fire service, could rely on about 320,000 men and women voluntary firefighters as active members.[1] Fire departments exist in even the smallest villages, where Goals of firefighting Aside from the main task of extinguishing fires, the goals of firefighting are (in order) 2 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Firefighter initial observations of first respondents, and chain of evidence issues. The increasing role of firefighters in providing emergency medical services also brings firefighters into common overlap with law enforcement. One example of this is a common state law requiring all gunshot wounds to be reported to law enforcement agencies. Fire fighting has several basic skills: prevention, self preservation, rescue, preservation of property and fire control. Firefighting is further broken down into skills which include size-up, extinguishing, ventilation, and salvage and overhaul. Search and Rescue, which has already been mentioned, is performed early in any fire scenario and many times is in unison with extinguishing and ventilation. US firefighters at Shaw Air Force Base in a training exercise. saving lives, saving property, and protecting the environment. Firefighting is an inherently difficult occupation. As such, the skills required for safe operations are regularly practiced during training evolutions throughout a firefighters career. In the United States, the preeminent fire training and standards organization is the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Often initial firefighting skills are taught during a local, regional, or state approved fire academy. Depending on the requirements of a department, additional skills and certifications such as technical rescue and Para-medicine may also be taught at this time. Prevention Prevention attempts to ensure that no place simultaneously has sufficient heat, fuel and air to allow ignition and combustion. Most prevention programs are directed at controlling the energy of activation (heat). Fire engine of the Paris Fire Brigade, a French army unit. Fire suppression systems have a proven record for controlling and extinguishing unwanted fires. Many fire officials recommend that every building, including residences, have fire sprinkler systems. Correctly working sprinklers in a residence greatly reduce the risk of death from a fire. With the small rooms typical of a residence, one or two sprinklers can cover most rooms. In addition, a major duty of fire services is the regular inspection of buildings to ensure they are up to the current building fire codes, which are enforced so that a building can sufficiently resist fire spread, potential hazards are located, and to ensure that occupants can be safely evacuated, commensurate with the risks involved. Firefighters of the New South Wales Fire Brigades Firefighters work closely with other emergency response agencies, most particularly local and state police departments. As every fire scene is technically a crime scene until deemed otherwise by a qualified investigator, there is often overlap between the responsibilities of responding firefighters and police officers such as evidence and scene protection, 3 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Other methods of fire prevention are by directing efforts to reduce known hazardous conditions or by preventing dangerous acts before tragedy strikes. This is normally accomplished in many innovative ways such as conducting presentations, distributing safety brochures, providing news articles, writing public safety announcements(PSAs) or establishing meaningful displays in well-visited areas. Ensuring that each household has working smoke alarms, is educated in the proper techniques of fire safety, has an evacuation route and rendezvous point is of top priority in public education for most fire prevention teams in almost all fire department localities. Firefighter Tools are generally carried at all times and are important for not only forcible entry but also for self rescue. A Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) delivers air to the firefighter through a full face mask and is worn to protect against smoke inhalation, toxic fumes, and super heated gasses. A special device called a Personal Alert Safety System (PASS) is commonly worn independently or as a part of the SCBA to alert others when a firefighter stops moving for a specified period of time or manually operates the device. The PASS device sounds an alarm that can assist another firefighter (Firefighter Assist and Search Team), in locating the firefighter in distress. A Dennis Dagger of Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service, England Firefighters often carry personal self rescue ropes. The ropes are generally 30 feet long and can provide a firefighter (that has enough time to deploy the rope) a partially controlled exit out an elevated window. Lack of a personal rescue rope is cited in the deaths of two New York City Firefighters, Lt. John Bellew and Lt. Curtis Meyran, who died after they jumped from a fourth floor of a burning apartment building in the Bronx. Of the four firefighters who jumped and survived only one of them had a self rescue rope. Since the incident the Fire Department of New York City has issued self rescue ropes to their firefighters. In the United States, 25% of fatalities to firefighters are caused by vehicle accidents while responding to or returning from an incident. Many firefighters are also injured or killed by vehicles while working at an incident (Paulison 2005). However, a large percentage of firefighters also succumb to heart disease, in the line of duty. A firefighters memorial in Columbus, Ohio U.S. Self-preservation Self-preservation is very critical. The basic technique firefighters use is to know where they are, and to avoid hazards. Current standards in the United States recommend that firefighters work in teams, using a "twoin, two-out" rule whenever in an IDLH (Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health) environment. 4 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Firefighter Rescue Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue Special Operations crews work on the extraction of a buried construction worker. moves faster, but has no hose to follow out to safety through the smoky darkness. A rescue rope may be needed for tethering a team involved in exceptionally dangerous conditions. Incident commanders also arrange for standby search and rescue teams to assist if firefighters become lost, trapped, or injured. Such teams are commonly, and often interchangeably, known as Rapid Intervention Crews (RIC), or Firefighter Assist and Search Teams (FAST). According to "two-in, twoout", the only time it is permissible for a team of firefighters to enter a burning structure without backup in place outside is when they are operating in what is known as "Rescue Mode". Rescue Mode occurs when firefighters have arrived at the scene, and it is readily apparent that there are occupants trapped inside who need immediate rescue. At such a time, properly equipped firefighters (exercising good judgment tempered by training and experience) may enter the structure and proceed directly to victims in need of rescue, RIC will then be put in place when resources permit. The Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse fire provides a stark example of disoriented rescuers perishing when their air supply was exhausted during a fruitless primary search and subsequent RIC searches. Searches for trapped victims are exhaustively detailed, often including searches of cupboards, closets, and under beds. The search is divided into two stages, the primary and secondary. The primary search is conducted quickly and thoroughly, typically beginning in the area closest to the fire as it is subjected to the highest risk of exposure. The secondary search only begins once the fire is Firefighter exiting a structure fire. A firefighter's helmet is built to withstand falling objects and high heat. Firefighters work to extricate a victim of a vehicle collision with a semi-tractor trailer Rescue operations consist of searching for and removing trapped occupants of hazardous conditions. Animals may also be rescued, if resources and conditions permit. Generally triage and first aid are performed outside, as removal from the hazardous atmosphere is the primary goal in preserving life. Search patterns include movement against room walls (to prevent rescuers from becoming lost or disoriented) and methodical searches of specific areas by designated teams. Unlike a fire control team, a rescue team typically 5 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under control, and is always (resources and personnel permitting) performed by a different team from that which did the primary search. Rescue operations may also involve the extrication of victims of motor vehicle crashes (abbreviated MVC). Here firefighters use spreaders, cutters, and hydraulic rams, collectively called hydraulic rescue tools—known better to the public as Jaws of Life—to remove metal from the patient, followed by actually removing the patient, usually on a backboard with collar, and transferring to a waiting ambulance crew in the cold zone. More technical forms of rescue include subsets such as rope rescue, swiftwater rescue, confined space rescue, and trench rescue. These types of rescue are often extremely hazardous and physically demanding. They also require extensive technical training. NFPA regulation 1006 and 1670 state that a "rescuer" must have medical training to perform any technical rescue operation. Accordingly, firefighters involved in rescue operations have some kind of medical training as first responders, emergency medical technicians, paramedics or nurses. Firefighter extinguishers. Very frequent training and refresher training is required. Structure fires may be attacked, generally, either by "interior" or "exterior" resources, or both. Interior crews, using the "two-in, two out" rule, may advance hose lines inside the building, find the fire and cool it with water. Exterior crews may direct water into windows or other openings, or against other nearby fuels exposed to the initial fire. A proper command structure will plan and coordinate the various teams and equipment to safely execute each tactic. See also Fire suppression for other techniques. Structure fires Fire control HAZMAT appliance and firefighters in Canberra, Australia Buildings that are made of flammable materials such as wood are different from so called "fire-resistant" buildings such as concrete high-rises. Generally, a "fire-resistant" building is designed to limit fire to a small area or floor. Other floors can be safe simply by preventing smoke inhalation and damage. All buildings suspected of being on fire must be evacuated, regardless of fire rating. While sometimes fires can be limited to small areas of a structure, wider collateral damage due to smoke, water, and burning embers is common. Utility shutoff (such as gas and electricity) is typically an early priority of arriving fire crews. Furthermore, fire prevention can take on a special meaning for property where hazardous materials are being used or stored. Some fire fighting tactics may appear to be destructive, but often serve specific needs. For example, during "ventilation" firefighters are often forced to open holes in the Firefighters trying to save an abandoned convent in Massueville, Quebec, Canada Fire control (or fire fighting) consists of depriving a fire of fuel (Reducing Agent), oxygen (Oxidizing Agent), heat and/or the chemical chain reaction that are necessary to sustain itself or re-kindle (also known as the four components of The Fire Tetrahedron). Firefighters are equipped with a wide variety of equipment to accomplish this task. Some of their tools include ladder trucks, pumper trucks, tanker trucks, fire hose, and fire 6 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia roof or floors of a structure (called "vertical ventilation") or open windows or walls (called "horizontal ventilation") to remove smoke and heated gases from the interior of the structure. Such ventilation methods are also used to locate victims quicker as visibility increases and to help preserve the life of trapped or unconscious individuals due to the poisonous gases inside of the structure. Vertical Ventilation is absolutely vital to firefighter safety in the event of a Flashover or Backdraft scenario. Releasing the flammable gasses through the roof often eliminates the possibility of a backdraft and by the removal of heat the possibility of a flashover is reduced significantly. Flashovers, due to their intense heat (900 - 1200 degrees fahrenheit) and explosive temperaments are almost always fatal to firefighter personnel. Precautionary methods, such as busting a window out, often reveal backdraft situations before the firefighter enters the structure and is met with the circumstance head-on. Firefighter safety is the number one priority. Whenever possible, movable property is moved into the middle of a room and covered with a heavy cloth tarp (a "salvage cover"). Other steps may be taken to divert or remove fire flow runoff (thus salvaging property by avoiding unnecessary damage), retrieving/ protecting valuables found during suppression or overhaul, and boarding windows, roofs and doors against the elements and looters. Firefighter Cardiovascular disease Firefighting has long been associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. In the United States, the most common cause of on-duty fatalities for firefighters is sudden cardiac death. In addition to personal factors that may predispose an individual to coronary artery disease or other cardiovascular diseases, occupational exposures can significantly increase a firefighter's risk. For instance, carbon monoxide, present in nearly all fire environments, and hydrogen cyanide, formed during the combustion of paper, cotton, plastics, and other substances containing carbon and nitrogen, interfere with the transport of oxygen in the body. Hypoxia can then lead to heart injury. In addition, chronic exposure to particulate matter in smoke is associated with atherosclerosis. Noise exposures may contribute to hypertension and possibly ischemic heart disease. Other factors associated with firefighting, such as stress, heat stress, and heavy physical exertion, also increase the risk of cardiovascular events.[2] Structural collapses Another leading cause of death during firefighting is structural collapse of part of a burning building (e.g. a wall, floor, ceiling, roof, or truss system). Structural collapse, which often occurs without warning, may crush or trap on-duty firefighters. To avoid loss of life, all on-duty firefighters should maintain two-way communication with the incident commander and be equipped with a Personal Alert Safety System device [3][4] (PASS). HAZMAT Firefighters in the United States are frequently the first responders to HAZMAT incidents. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard 1910.120 defines four standards of training First responder awareness level, First responder operations level, Hazardous materials technician, and Hazardous materials specialist. EMS-based paramedics are typically trained to the awareness level, whereas career firefighters are often trained to the operations level or better. Communication and command structure Occupational health and safety A company of U.S. firefighters. 7 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Firefighter New South Wales Fire Brigades station officer (Red helmet) and firefighters (Yellow helmets) A company of firefighters of Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue. A New York City fireman calls for ten more rescue workers to make their way into the rubble of the World Trade Center. Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department Helicopter Crew department communications play a critical role in that successful outcome. Fire department communications include the methods by which the public can notify the communications center of an emergency, the methods by which the center can notify the proper fire fighting forces, and the methods by which information is exchanged at the scene. A telecommunicator (often referred to as a dispatcher) has a role different but just as important as other emergency personnel. The telecommunicator must process calls from unknown and unseen individuals, usually calling under stressful conditions. He/she must be able to obtain complete, reliable information from the caller and prioritize requests for assistance. It is the dispatcher's responsibility to bring order to chaos. While some fire departments are large enough to utilize their own telecommunication dispatcher, most rural and small areas rely on a central dispatcher to provide handling of fire, rescue and police services. Firefighters of Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue have radios to stay in constant communication. The expedient and accurate handling of fire alarms or calls are significant factors in the successful outcome of any incident. Fire 8 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Firefighters are trained to use communications equipment to receive alarms, give and receive commands, request assistance, and report on conditions. Since firefighters from different agencies routinely provide mutual aid to each other, and routinely operate at incidents where other emergency services are present, it is essential to have structures in place to establish a unified chain of command, and share information between agencies. The U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency has established a National Incident Management System. One component of this system is the Incident Command System. All radio communication in the United States is under authorization from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC); as such, fire departments that operate radio equipment must hold radio licenses from the FCC. Ten codes were popular in the early days of radio equipment because of poor transmission and reception. Advances in modern radio technology have reduced the need for ten-codes and many departments have converted to simple English (clear text). Firefighter standard French Army ranks. The highest rank in many departments is full Colonel. USA US Fire Department Rank Insignia In the United States helmet colors often denote a fire fighter's rank or position. In general, white helmets denote chief officers, while red helmets denote company officers, but the specific meaning of a helmet's color or style varies from region to region and department to department. The rank of an officer in the U.S. fire service is most commonly denoted by a number of speaking trumpets, a reference to a megaphone like device used in the early days of the fire service, although typically they are called "bugles" in today's parlance. Ranks proceed from one (lieutenant) to five (fire chief) bugles. Traditional ranks in American Fire Departments that exist but not always be utilized in all cities or towns include: • Firefighter (no bugles) • Engineer/Technician/Sergeant (no bugles) • Lieutenant (1 bugle) • Captain (2 either traditionally side by side or less usually crossed bugles) • Battalion Chief (2 either side by side or more traditionally crossed bugles) • Division Chief or Deputy/Deputy Asst. Chief/Commissioner (3 crossed bugles) • Assistant Chief/Commissioner (4 crossed bugles) • Chief/Commissioner (5 crossed bugles) The basic US fire department unit is a small unit called a "company" (under a lieutenant) which is equivalent to a commonwealth "watch" (under a sub-officer). A US fire captain is thus often equivalent to a commonwealth sub-officer, and a US fire Ranks Commonwealth Most fire brigades in Commonwealth countries (except Canada) have a more 'civilianized' nomenclature, traditionally structured in this manner: • Firefighter • Leading Firefighter (or Crew Commander) • Sub Officer (or Watch Commander) • Station Officer (or Station Commander/ Manager) • Assistant Divisional Officer • Divisional Officer • Assistant Chief Fire Officer (Scotland: Assistant Firemaster) • Chief Fire Officer (Scotland: Firemaster) Most firefighters wear yellow helmets, but Station Officers and above wear white helmets. Though these colours are not universal and depend upon the service. Rank is further indicated by black stripes around the helmets. France French fire services, which historically are derived from French army sapper units, use 9 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia lieutenant to a commonwealth leading firefighter. Still some other American Fire Departments such the FDNY use military rank insignia in addition or instead of the traditional bugles. Additionally, officers on truck companies have been known to use rank insignias shaped like axes for Lieutenants (1) and Captains (2). The various grades of Divisional Officers and CFOs are indicated by one or more impellers on their epaulettes or the collar of their firefighting uniform, as opposed to the bugle insignia used in the USA.

Many people put out fires back in biblical times, but whether people did it for a living is unknown. Firefighters were known in the Roman Republic, but only as privately organised and funded groups operating as more of a business than a service. This ad-hoc approach was later revolutionised during the Principate to become the first truly professional firefighting service. Augustus called for the creation of a trained fire guard, paid and equipped by the state. Known as the Vigiles, they were organised into cohorts and also served as a night watch and a city police force. Today, fire and rescue remains a mix of paid, call, and volunteer responders. The UK has the retained fire service, whereby fire 10 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia fighters are on call with pagers from their homes and/or place of work.

An 1879 illustration of firefighters In popular literature, firefighters are usually depicted with Dalmatian dogs. This breed originated in southern Europe to assist with herding livestock and run along with horses, and in the days of horse-drawn fire vehicles, the horses were usually released on arrival at the fire and the Dalmatians would lead the horses through traffic and to a safe place to wait until the fire was out. Dalmatians also filled the role of protecting the horses' feet from other dogs as equipment was being transported to the fire scene. In reality, most fire dogs were mutts pulled from the street (and thus cheaper to acquire). In addition, Dalmatians have a reputation for skittishness and congenital defects, such as deafness due to inbreeding. Many fire companies around the world, especially in the United States, develop annual Beefcake calendars. In these calendars, handsome and/or muscular firefighters appear scantily clad and sometimes cavorting. Calendar proceeds function as fund raisers for their fire department and for charities.

Wildest Bloody Mary you've ever seen creating buzz for Wisconsin
Bloody Marys aren't my thing, but a gourmet version of a Bloody Mary is generating some mad respect for a Wisconsin pub around the nation in social media today (in addition to bolstering the stereotype of Wisconsin being a heavy drinking state.)
Take a look at this impressive, heavily loaded Bloody Mary, served at O'Davey's Irish Pub & Restaurant in Fond du Lac. (Also known as Davey's.) »Read Full Blog Post(10)
Setzer brings swinging holiday cheer to Potawatomi
On the 16th day of November, Brian Setzer gave with glee: 5 sax men, 4 trumpet players, 2 backing singers...and drums dressed in tinsel, glittering.
The Brian Setzer Orchestra's Christmas show, at Potawatomi Bingo Casino's Northern Lights Theater, also had falling suds (subbing for snow), TV theme song cameos (including "The Flintstones," "Peter Gunn" and "The Andy Griffith Show") and covers from Setzer's Stray Cats rockabilly days. »Read Full Article(1)

Next Act Theatre offers solid primer on Marxism with 'Groucho'
Like the Marx Brothers' early vaudeville show, Next Act Theatre's"Groucho: A Life in Revue" is a "skule" act. It gently and congenially educates the audience about one of America's great comedians, Groucho Marx, whose remarkable career included Broadway, movie and TV hits built around his wisecracking persona.
After a brief opening sequence, this revue, written by Groucho's son Arthur and Robert Fisher, unfolds chronologically. It's sentimental in spots, but heck, you might be sentimental, too, if you were writing a show about your father and uncles. It's not warts and all, but it does acknowledge Groucho's regrets about three marriages that ended in divorce. »Read Full Article

Not Much Has Changed in the Roundabout's Revival of Cabaret
Michelle Williams
Joan Marcus
After a 10-year absence, Cabaret has returned to Broadway and Studio 54. In many ways, it feels as though it never left. It's more of a rehashing than a revival. Director Sam Mendes and co-director and choreographer Rob Marshall have returned to give us everything that made the original Roundabout production a long-running hit. The sex-drenched Kit Kat Klub, with its scantily clad performers and red-shaded boudoir lamps scattered among the audience, has hardly changed a stitch. Fortunately, Alan Cumming, too, has returned (and hardly changed), treating us to another dose of the irascible, irrepressible Emcee he first reinvented over 20 years ago in London.
One fresh face, never before seen on Broadway, does offer a few surprises. Michelle Williams, who impresses as Sally Bowles, hits all the notes and even displays an unexpected capacity for desperation and abandon in two of her musical numbers. In her films, Williams most often brings frailty and earnestness to her roles, and her Sally is no exception. But what's needed, and what goes missing, is much of the cabaret darling's willful self-delusion.
Aside from Cumming, there are two other reasons to revisit Weimar Berlin. Linda Emond, as Fraulein Schneider, and Danny Burstein, as Herr Schultz, provide a center of gravity for what is otherwise a dizzying circus of anarchic debauchery. If there is any regret, it's that Emond and Burstein aren't given more stage time and more music with which to charm us. Both embody the sort of grace that, even when rehashed, never grows old.

Hi All,
I'm creating a website for an actor and I'd like to affix a logo on top of the fixed navbar and keep it attached to the navbar when scrolling. Right now I have the logo in Custom CSS as a header image, but when I scroll, the logo and navbar separate.
Is there any way to lock an image to the top of the fixed navbar at all times?

Thanks to a winter frost heave and a tiny canvas carport I had the misfortune of accidentally breaking my side mirror when the car rolled over a bump in the driveway due to the tire positioning and the closer than close proximity of the poles holding up the carport wall. My neighbor who owns a garage tried to help me find a new mirror "preloved" so that I could save a few bucks. Even if he went to the junk yard himself and pulled it I was going to be paying at least $80. This was money that I didn't have for a side mirror I needed to have. He gave me his contact list & the website he uses to try and find the part on my own because I was getting ready for a road trip through a few states and we thought I would have better luck elsewhere. So online I went. Lots of phone calls made & websites searched but it wasn't until I came upon your website that I found what I was looking for at a price I could afford. I couldn't believe it. With shipping I was saving over $40 and the part which arrived 2 days after I got home from my trip looked perfect and still works great! I shared your website with my neighbor and he too was shocked by the price. We both love your website and while I haven't damaged anything since or needed any additional parts I will always visit your site 1st because I am confident that based on my experience with your customer service team and the pricing as well as shipping time and fantastic communication that I will always find the best deal when ordering from you.
Anytime one owns an SUV, they must remember that the sheer size of the vehicle can make it prone to dings and minor collisions. Crowded parking lots, and of course, street parking areas, can really take a toll on the headlight and tail light assemblies. Once these assemblies are damaged, a safety situation is created that must be remedied quickly to avoid traffic citations or the greater risk of serious collisions.

Jun 06, 2008 GMTI ran across a blog post on the Wall Street Journal site today called "Men Write Code from Mars, Women Write More Helpful Code from Venus."

Emma says that men write code "to show how clever they are by writing very cryptic code," whereas women are more considerate and leave helpful comments within the code.

Jun 03, 2008 GMTGlobe and Mail recently ran an article, called "Fighting the Female Brain Drain," about women dropping out of the science, technology, and engineering fields. The article is based on a Harvard Business Review study, The Athena Factor: Reversing the Brain Drain in Science, Engineering and Technology, which "attributes this female exodus to a wearying atmosphere of sexism in the sciences, along with extreme hours and family responsibilities that tend to ramp up for women around age 35." One point the study makes is that the majority of the women surveyed were happy and enjoyed their work in science, technology, and engineering. According to the article, "But by...

The study also indicates that the salary decline mirrors what's happening in the US economy overall.

Michael Moore Bashes Obamacare for Being Pro-Insurance Industry
He urges people to support a government-backed health plan while noting that the president's system has provided cheaper care for those who need it.
Michael Moore calls Obamacare both "awful" and "a godsend" in a New York Times op-ed to mark the beginning of health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act's new insurance exchanges.
He notes that the Affordable Care Act has provided cheaper health insurance for those who needed it, like his friend Donna Smith, who has cancer and was bankrupted by previous health problems.
But he says that the "fatal flaw" with the president's system is that it is a pro-insurance industry plan instead of a single-payer extension of Medicare, which Obama knew he should have pushed for, Moore writes.
PHOTOS: 16 Icons Come Together for THR's Oscar Issue
Moore claims that Obamacare is merely a modified version of the health care system implemented in Massachusetts by Mitt Romney.
"The president took Romneycare, a program designed to keep the private insurance industry intact, and just improved some of its provisions," the filmmaker writes. "In effect, the president was simply trying to put lipstick on the dog in the carrier on top of Mitt Romney's car. And we knew it."
Moore, who previously took on insurance companies with Sicko, his 2007 film about the American health care system, also argues that the "affordable" part of the Affordable Care Act is not true for many people, writing that the cheapest plan available to a 60-year-old couple making $65,000-a-year in Hartford, Conn. will cost $11,800 in annual premiums with a $12,600 deductible.
In closing, he urges people to push for the changes necessary to create universal quality health care, including Medicaid expansion and the option of a health plan run by the government rather than a private insurer on the insurance exchange.
