Building Molecules Chemistry Activity
We moved on from talking about atoms to talking about molecules and chemical bonds. Since my kids are pretty young, this is just a basic introduction to how bonds are formed and made.
NOTE: We are moving to homeschoolden.com. We will be moving all our printables there soon.
The screen shot below shows 2 of 3 pages.
We spent several days building different kinds of molecules:
On the first day we built water, oxygen, hydrogen and hydrogen peroxide:
The next day the kids built carbon dioxide, chlorine, ammonia and acetylene gas:
And on the last day they built methane gas, ethylene gas, methanol (wood alcohol), propane gas, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), vinegar and others:
We used EIN-O's molecule kit. It doesn't have the best reviews on Amazon, but it was just fine for our needs. It comes with double-bonds (see the red oxygen molecule above) as well as the plain single bond pieces. It is a bit confusing that there would be more than one hole on the hydrogen (white balls), but I just told the kids that was how the balls were made and they were fine with that explanation.

You can also just use styrofoam balls and pipe cleaners, but I decided to use this kit because the balls were colored already and saved time painting balls, etc. Plus styrofoam can be a bit difficult to manipulate (or falls apart) and the pipe cleaners would bend. I wanted the kids to be able to work on this independently and with the exception of one bad (malformed) plastic rod they didn't need my help at all.
Good to hear from you! I'll need to catch up on your posts too… you always are doing such good stuff in your homeschool!

Thank you for posting your worksheet. This was perfect for my 7 year old who wanted to learn about atoms and molecules for his science fair project. We bought a slightly different set that actually showed the double bonds as separate bonds – ours was called Mega Molecules. The kit was a big hit, and helped get the concept of "how many bonds per atom" down much better than the spaghetti and toothpick versions we'd seen a the family science nights.
Thanks again for sharing so I didn't have to re-invent the wheel!

You're welcome! Glad they came in useful. I'll have to keep that kit in mind for next time round. Our kit did the job, but we could use something a bit more sophisticated next time around.

Conversation: Ian McEwan
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
JEFFREY BROWN: Saturday, Feb. 15, 2003: In Britain's largest demonstration ever, more than a million people gathered in London to protest the coming Iraq War. And driving through those streets that day, Henry Perowne, a successful neurosurgeon and family man, thinks about the new age we all live in.
"There are people around the planet, well-connected and organized, who would like to kill him and his family and friends to make a point. The scale of death contemplated is no longer at issue. There'll be more deaths on a similar scale, probably in this city. Is he so frightened that he can't face the fact?"
The day was real; the character is fiction in the new novel "Saturday" by Ian McEwan, the 56-year-old author of numerous prize-winning books and widely regarded one of Britain's and the world's leading novelists. Now, in "Saturday", McEwan is one of the first writers to come to grips with 9/11. He told us recently how difficult that was at first.
IAN McEWAN: At that point, I couldn't think about novels at all. It seemed the only writing that was appropriate to that horrendous event was journalism, reportage. And, in fact, I think the profession rose quite honorably to the task. Novelists require a slower turnover, I mean, in time. It's got to gather its emotional weight. And you have to look for the private aspect of the matter. And, in fact, this is a novel that is set not about that event, but its shadow, and it casts a very long shadow, not only over international affairs, but in the very small print of our lives.
JEFFREY BROWN: You mean, in a sense for a while, as the cliché goes, truth was stranger than fiction?
IAN McEWAN: Well, from my point of view, it was certainly more interesting than fiction. I became almost impatient with the literature. I wanted to be informed.
JEFFREY BROWN: And yet you're a novelist. So what did you want to explore when you finally turned to your form and wrote "Saturday"?
IAN McEWAN: I wanted, as I said, a flavor of the present. I hadn't really expected the present to be quite so fascinating as it had become, or quite so horribly fascinating. I hoped to sort of get a flavor of the city, not to deny also the pleasures involved in being in a city, and to mix anxieties with pleasures; to give the reader just a taste of the kinds of shared puzzlement, bafflement, underlying fear that I think we all have at this end of the century.
JEFFREY BROWN: In fact, McEwan used his own London apartment and neighborhood as the setting for much of the novel. "Awaking in the early morning, Henry Perowne sits in his kitchen with his son Theo, dwelling on their changing world."
IAN McEWAN: "Despite the troops mustering in the Gulf or the tanks out at Heathrow on Thursday or the storming of the Finsbury Park Mosque, the reports of terror cells around the country and bin Laden's promise on tape of martyrdom attacks on London, Henry Perowne held for a while to the idea that it was all an aberration; that the world would surely calm down and soon be otherwise.
"That solutions were possible; that reason being a powerful tool was irresistible, the only way out; or that, like any other crisis, this one would fade soon and make way for the next, going the way of the Falklands and Bosnia, Biafra and Chernobyl. But lately, this is looking optimistic. Against his own inclination he's adapting, the way patients eventually do to their sudden loss of sight or use of their limbs — no going back. The '90s are looking like an innocent decay, and who would have thought that at the time? Now, we breathe a different air."
JEFFREY BROWN: The novel has received glowing reviews, a "day in the life" story, in which the life is set against world events and then nearly shattered by a chance encounter that could happen to anyone at any time. Does the situation after 9/11 in which you've set your novel, does it change life for the novelist? Does it either give you a new theme, or perhaps even a new responsibility, in the way you approach your own work?
IAN McEWAN: I think we should be careful not to over-inflate the matter. I mean, in the first half of the 20th Century, we lived through human disasters on a scale unimaginable. The Holocaust was once suggested would be the end of not only civilization, but art, too. And yet art, and especially literature, rose to the occasion. And I think the novel, you know, its business is the investigation of human nature.
This terrible event caused some people to say — I think completely mistakenly — that it would be impossible ever to write anything ever again. And this is a nonsense. I mean, it actually generates the need for more investigation. We barely know ourselves. And I think the novel, with its marvelous ability to take us inside other people's minds, to give us the flavor and fine print of thought and consciousness, is well-placed to keep on.
JEFFREY BROWN: And your way of doing that is to insert history into your story, or your story right into history?
IAN McEWAN: Yes. I mean, if you set a novel in the mind of a thinking man going about his day, on such a day, Feb. 15, inevitably he is going to dwell on this. He doesn't really know, unlike many people around me, he doesn't really know his own mind almost. He's very torn; he thinks the occupation will probably be a mess, and he's sort of against it. But there's another part of him that just longs for Saddam Hussein to be overthrown. In that sense, he's rather rootless, but from my point of view, ambivalence is much richer than certainty.
JEFFREY BROWN: Well, that's the life that many of us lead as we go through history.
IAN McEWAN: Yeah, it is often hard. I mean, Henry's very glad that he's chosen the simple life of a neurosurgeon rather than become a politician.
JEFFREY BROWN: And this all takes place in one day, and we're left not knowing what becomes of Henry. Do you know what becomes of him?
IAN McEWAN: Well, he ends up back at the window where he started his day, trying to stare into the future. And he imagines a similar doctor like himself in 1903 at the beginning of the 20th Century, you know, full of Edwardian contentment, relative prosperity and peace, trying to imagine what the 20th century was going to bring.
Well, if it's even as half as bad that, we should be very worried. I mean, what lay ahead of that doctor immediately would be the First World War, the Somme, the great flu outbreak, the Depression, and then, of course, the Second World War and all it brought with it, and then, of course, the great tyrannies of totalitarianism. What faces us? I mean, it would be rather nice to make a pact with the devil to be shown, you know, the next hundred years. What wouldn't we give?
JEFFREY BROWN: All right. Ian McEwan, thanks for joining us.
IAN McEWAN: My pleasure.

Two different fuel tanks to choose from wouldn't be that difficult to do, and it would really help sell some bikes to larger markets. Kawasaki is becoming infamous for making smaller fuel tanks as well.... it's a trend that needs to stop if they want business.
I'm waiting to see some real world mpg figures. As long as it has a range of around 200 miles I will be fine with the tiny tank.

Career and Technical Education:
Surveys to State Directors of Career and Technical Education (GAO-09-737SP, July 2009), an E-supplement to GAO-09-683
GAO-09-737SP: Published: Jul 29, 2009. Publicly Released: Jul 29, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-5932
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This is an E-supplement to GAO-09-683. This e-supplement provides information from two surveys of state directors of career and technical education (CTE), one at the secondary level and the other at the postsecondary level. These surveys were administered between January and April 2009. They were designed to collect information from states on a range of issues associated with their implementation of the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Act of 2006 (Perkins IV), including: development and implementation of new accountability requirements for student outcomes and any challenges related to implementation; state evaluation of local CTE programs; and assistance provided to states by the Department of Education's Office of Vocational and Adult Education (OVAE). The e-supplement includes (1) our analysis of states' survey responses and (2) the questions asked in the two surveys. It does not include the results of narrative questions. We administered the Web-based surveys to state agencies eligible to receive Perkins funds, such as state educational agencies and state college and university systems, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. We received 100 percent response rates for both the secondary and postsecondary surveys. We conducted our work in accordance with generally accepted government auditing standards. A more detailed discussion of our scope and methodology and agency comments on the draft report are contained in our report Career and Technical Education: States Have Broad Flexibility in Implementing Perkins IV GAO-09-683 (Washington: D.C.: July 31, 2009).

Wanted: Global Politics
Four weeks on and it feels as though we are living in a black hole. The "new war on terrorism" has invaded our lives and sucked in all our usual activities. Even before the start of military action, television, newspapers, e-mail and everyday conversation had all been overwhelmed not just by grief and mourning but by the new global coalition, troop deployments, intelligence efforts, the Afghan crisis and on and on. Normal debates about issues like education and health, climate change and biodiversity, corporate responsibility and debt reduction, not to mention the Balkans or Central America, have been suspended--unless, that is, these issues can somehow be related to September 11. The crime against humanity that took place on September 11 was so horrific and so shocking that this reaction is perhaps understandable (although the world did not shut down after the genocide in Rwanda or the fall of Srebrenica). Nevertheless, it is the wrong reaction. Normal debate is exactly what is needed. If we are to confront what Michael Ignatieff has described as "apocalyptic nihilism" in a serious, sustained way, then we need politics, especially global politics. Not as a substitute for catching the perpetrators and bringing them to justice, but as a central part of the strategy for eliminating their activities.
In the past decade, since the end of the cold war, we have witnessed the emergence of something that could be called global politics. The cold war can be regarded as the last great global clash between states; it marked the end of an era when the ultimate threat of war between states determined international relations and when the idea of war disciplined and polarized domestic politics. Indeed, this may explain why we became conscious of the phenomenon known as globalization only after the end of the cold war. Nowadays, as September 11 demonstrated only too graphically, we live in an interdependent world, where we cannot maintain security merely through the protection of borders; where states no longer control what happens within their borders; and where old-fashioned war between states has become anachronistic. Today states are still important, but they function in a world shaped less by military power than by complex political processes involving international institutions, multinational corporations, citizens' groups and, indeed, fundamentalists and terrorists--in short, global politics.
The end of old-fashioned war between states does not mean the end of violence. Instead, we are witnessing the rise of new types of violence, justified in the name of fundamentalism of one variety or another and perpetrated against civilians. President Bush is perhaps right to call what happened a "new kind of war." But this is not the first "new war," although it is more spectacular and more global than ever before and, for the first time, involves large-scale loss of American lives. Wars of this type have taken place in Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans and Central Asia, especially in the past decade. And there are lessons to be learned that are relevant to the new "new war."
These new wars have to be understood in the context of globalization. They involve transnational networks, based on political claims in the name of religion or ethnicity, through which ideas, money, arms and mercenaries are organized. These networks flourish in those areas of the world where states have imploded as a consequence of the impact of globalization on formerly closed, authoritarian systems, and they involve private groups and warlords as well as remnants of the state apparatus. In the new wars, the goal is not military victory; it is political mobilization. Whereas in old-fashioned wars, people were mobilized to participate in the war effort, in the new wars, mobilizing people is the aim of the war effort, to expand the networks of extremism. In the new wars, battles are rare and violence is directed against civilians. The strategy is to gain political power through sowing fear and hatred, to create a climate of terror, to eliminate moderate voices and to defeat tolerance. And the goal is to obtain economic power as well. These networks flourish in states where systems of taxation have collapsed, where little new wealth is being created. They raise money through looting and plunder, through illegal trading in drugs, illegal immigrants, cigarettes and alcohol, through "taxing" humanitarian assistance, through support from sympathetic states and through remittances from members of the networks.
These wars are very difficult to contain and very difficult to end. They spread through refugees and displaced persons, through criminal networks, through the extremist viruses they germinate. We can observe growing clusters of warfare in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia and the Caucasus. They represent a defeat for democratic politics, and each bout of warfare strengthens those with a vested political and economic interest in continued violence. The areas where conflicts have lasted longest have generated cultures of violence, as in the jihad culture taught in religious schools in Pakistan and Afghanistan or among the Tamils of Sri Lanka, where young children are taught to be martyrs and where killing is understood as an offering to God. In the instructions found in the car of the hijackers in Boston's Logan Airport, it is written: "If God grants any one of you a slaughter, you should perform it as an offering on behalf of your father and mother, for they are owed by you.... If you slaughter, you should plunder those you slaughter, for that is a sanctioned custom of the Prophet's."
What we have learned about this kind of war is that the only possible exit route is political. There has to be a strategy of winning hearts and minds to counter the strategy of fear and hate. There has to be an alternative politics based on tolerance and inclusiveness, which is capable of defeating the politics of intolerance and exclusion and capable of preserving the space for democratic politics. In the case of the current new war, what is needed is an appeal for global--not American--justice and legitimacy, aimed at establishing the rule of law in place of war and at fostering understanding between communities in place of terror. There needs to be a much stronger role for the United Nations and serious consideration paid to ways in which legitimate political authority can be re-established in Afghanistan. Thinking through how this should be done needs to be the responsibility of the new United Nations Special Representative to Afghanistan, Lakhdar Brahimi, in consultation with neighboring states and a range of relevant political and civic actors. There also needs to be a clear demonstration of evenhandedness in places like the Middle East, and real support for democratic and moderate political groupings--in other words, an alternative network involving international institutions as well as civil society groups committed to similar goals. What this entails in concrete terms has to be discussed and debated. In this crisis, there has been much handwringing about the need for better human intelligence. An excellent source of human intelligence and guide to evenhanded policy-making are pro-democracy, human rights and liberal Islamic groups in the Middle East and among exile communities.
Political action has to be combined with serious attention to overcoming social injustice. Of particular importance is the creation of legitimate methods of making a living. In many of the areas where war takes place and where extreme networks pick up new recruits, becoming a criminal or joining a paramilitary group is literally the only available opportunity for unemployed young men lacking formal education. Where some progress has been made, as in Northern Ireland and the Balkans (and it is always slow and tortuous, since these wars are so much harder to end than to begin), what has made a difference has been the provision of security, including the capture of criminals, support for civil society and for democrats, and efforts at economic reconstruction.
Such a political strategy is not an alternative to military action. Indeed, military action may be needed in support of alternative politics. But in these wars there is no such thing as military victory; the task of military action is to create conditions for an alternative politics. Thus military action is needed to catch war criminals and protect civilians--to establish areas where individuals and families feel safe and do not depend on extremist networks for protection and livelihood. Devices like safe havens or humanitarian corridors, effectively defended, help protect and support civilians and establish an international presence on the ground.

Don't miss out on this golden opportunity!!!
With all of the people who are living in Colorado, yet grew up somewhere else, I think I should explain that Erie is not on the Kansas or Wyoming border. I live 20 minutes from downtown Denver, Across the street from me is Broomfield. Now I can get to the "about Me" part. As hard as that can be, I think I can sum it up in a few sentences. I am an honest, loyal trustworthy and all around good guy. I have yet to meet a match for me but I know she is out there and I am very excited to meet her!! I have never been one to play games in dating and that is not my intent here. I am looking for a serious, meaningful relationship that leads to marriage and a long and happy life together. That may sound a little forward but I wanted to say it up front so there is never any confusion about it down the road. I prefer a warm weather vacation in the winter, Bahamas, Caribean, Hawaii to heading up to the slopes to freeze for a day. I have plans of doing such a trip every year, just need an awesome girl to go with me:-) Toes in the sand, drink in our hand!!! Sound Good to you? Assuming none of us can spend the entire winter like that, when it is cold out I am also good with cuddling on the couch watching a movie and the fireplace. Summer/fall are my favorite times here in Colorado, I love going to a Rockies game on a warm summer night, I get a ticket package every year so I would hope you would join me:-) I also like going to college football games. I am a Broncos fan as well but prefer to watch those on tv, or in Vegas!! I have all of my family close by and am very proud to be a part of what I consider a great family. My family is not without flaws but every one of them would do anything for me if I needed it as I would do in return. They would also welcome you with open arms and treat you the same. I don't know that I have a specific "type" of girl I am looking for but I would say honesty and being genuine go a long way with me. So lets have fun doing this and hope that this is the last dating profile we ever have to fill out!!!

Game Review on Oct 24th, 2012
I enjoyed blasting through this little map pack, though I wouldn't say there was anything particularly groundbreaking about it. The story was fairly minimal and pretty predictable, but there was some good voice acting present.
Overall, it seems to mimic the events of HL2's story, only severely watered down with less memorable characters.
The mapping is also something of a let down. While the external sections are pretty nice and the dark forest in particular was very nicely done, the interior sections throughout lacked any real flare with regards to architecture and lighting. The section on the moving train comes to mind. The interior of the tunnel was pretty flat and lifeless but was still brightly lit. It seems to me the the train cars would have had their own lighting, rather than have something powering the lighting for an indefinitely long tunnel.

What is there to say?
Rebuilding HL1 from the ground up in a modern engine is no easy task and the 7 years development time really shows throughout. Even with the early ending this just feels so complete.
I think anyone who has played it should consider this to be a free game rather than a mod. The sheer length of it, and the consistently fantastic quality throughout is nothing to be sniffed at.
10/10, 100%, Game of the Year, Game of the Decade, Best in show, Gold Medal and whatever other gaming awards you can think of.
Thank You BM Developers. :D

I actually enjoyed this. The last room was a hell of a challenge with the invisible spies but it was still good fun. Really nice use of custom textures and the mapping is superb. My only gripe is that it was far too short, but considering the author only had 7 days to complete it, he has done a fantastic job.
7/10 simply because there wasn't enough of it. :D
Mod Review on Aug 18th, 2012 - 1 person agrees 1 person doesn't
Call me crazy, but I almost enjoyed these. Almost.
Sure the mapping is pretty basic, some of the models are downright horrendous and there were a few sections where I felt just a little overwhelmed by the amount of enemies I had to fight alone.
I like the idea that there was a larger scale war going on while I was fighting my way through the underbelly of the enemy fortifications, but there just wasn't enough visible action overall.
Pretty difficult too, I don't think I got through a single mission with more than 30HP remaining and I had to cheat to pass the ambush at the end of mission 2. It was just impossible.
Mod Review on Aug 18th, 2012 - 4 people agree
I cannot fathom how Red Mesa managed to inspire a sequel, but here it is. Sitting neatly alongside the original in their own special layer of mod hell, Red Mesa 2 manages to increase the difficulty curve while becoming one of the most annoying experiences of my life.
First off, the sound effects. Right from the off the 2 enemies filling the first few levels, zombies and headcrabs, have had their sounds replaced by some pretty annoying vocals, and while I didn't understand what they were saying it was rather pleasant to shut them up... or not as it seems. On Hard mode there simply is not enough ammunition to take them all on and you have to run by most threads, their hideous garbling never out of earshot. Urgh.
The maps are no better than before, with horrendous architecture, no real design work put into them at all. You go from what I believe to be city streets, to caves, to a gman factory, all of them just huge open hallways with bad lighting. Well, at least it HAS lighting this time.
I think I finished it. 2 killboxes full of grunts and grenadiers with 35HP remaining throughout, before getting kicked to the menu. Also, a lack of autosaves meant I had to play through from the start after dying. That was unforgivable.
Mod Review on Aug 17th, 2012 - 6 people agree
A whole new layer of crap has been discovered beneath what I used to think was the worst of it. This mod contains a few custom models which are simply the standard models that have had their textures butchered in MSPaint.
The maps are literally just boxes with enemies in. There is no plot, no theme, no consistency, no sense of place, no fun, not even a proper compile with lighting. I can quite honestly say that this map set is worse than my first ever attempt at mapping.
As a map, it's pretty poor. As a mod, it's inexcusable!
Mod Review on Aug 13th, 2012 - 2 people agree
Well, I downloaded this expecting it to be bad and was unpleasantly surprised at just how bad it can get.
I don't quite understand, from a goldsource mapper's point of view, how some people manage to make maps with this many errors in them. A whole ruck of missing faces on simple brushwork, as well as some curious carving issues and jutting out brushes that look about 1 unit thick. Were these maps made using the smallest grid size? It's the only explanation I can come up with. Very poor practice all round.
Also, the stupidity of the AI in some sections is pretty incredible. The grunts are pretty smart enemies in terms of the GoldSource engine, yet here, the final engagement before the god awful ending was with 8 grunts, all of whom were trapped behind their desks by their own chairs. *Slowest clap ever*
The first engagement is impossible on hard mode with the machine gun (which looks like an M26... which is a shotgun but whatever). I simply ran through it. There is no way that you can take on the choppers, and judging by the number of scripted deaths that feature in this mod, I dare say it's intentional.
No fun whatsoever, especially during the slow cutscenes spliced in throughout.
Mod Review on Aug 12th, 2012 - 1 person doesn't
I had no trouble with this running on Steam. I blasted through it Hard mode which actually seemed fairly easy in some sections. I don't know if you coded the enemies to be less accurate but they certainly had trouble hitting me.
There are just a few things that bother me about this mod that kept me from enjoying it fully. While the old school find key to open door, rinse and repeat method was fun to return to, it managed to be less intuitive in this mod. Maybe with some custom voice acting or some kind of colour coding would have made things more obvious. Also, the models included aren't great and the left handed weapons genuinely broke my concentration at first. Mapping isn't great and a lot of it blends into one long dull corridor after another.
Could have been better, but could have been much much worse. 5/10 for you. :D

PolitiFact Florida: Statement on Bush, tuition goes beyond numbers07/05/15News
Former Gov. Jeb Bush likes to advertise education reforms during his two terms in office, but the Florida Democratic Party wants to remind voters those changes came at a price.
In a news release, Democrats cited what they said were Bush's dubious gubernatorial achievements, including that he "oversaw (an) average in-state tuition increase of 48.2 percent during his tenure."
Did public university tuition go up by almost 50 percent in eight years during Bush's two terms? That number is more or less correct, but there's more to the Bush-era education overhaul than that....

PolitiFact Florida: Jeb Bush says he cut Florida taxes by $19 billion, but did he really?06/11/15 Blog
Jeb Bush keeps promoting his record during the runup to announcing his presidential campaign, telling a crowd at a Republican event he cut taxes as Florida's governor.
"In Florida, for eight years we cut taxes every year, totaling $19 billion, creating a much better business climate," Bush told the crowd at Gov. Rick Scott's Economic Growth Summit in Orlando on June 2, 2015.
Florida's budget went from $48.6 billion to $73.9 billion during Bush's tenure, thanks in part to an influx of some 3.5 million people. The state also pocketed $10 billion in cash reserves and won a top bond rating....

At a town hall meeting in Reno, Nev., Bush said, "We had an agreement that the president could have signed that would have kept 10,000 troops" in Iraq. We rated that Mostly False. Read that item here....
PolitiFact Florida: Medicaid expansion would help many of the same people that LIP helps05/17/15News
Washington may favor expanding Medicaid, Gov. Rick Scott argues, but it won't help the people being served by the soon-to-expire Low Income Pool, called LIP.
Speaking to reporters, Scott said he doesn't share the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' position that growing Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act is a better solution than renewing the current LIP fund. The LIP program, which mostly helps cover hospital costs for uninsured and underinsured patient visits, is set to expire June 30....
PolitiFact Florida: Does Florida takes billions more from Washington than it gives?05/15/15Business
The statement
"Florida sends $135 billion and D.C. returns $150 billion."
Rep. Debbie Mayfield, R-Vero Beach, May 4 on Twitter
The ruling
Florida House members left the legislative session early over health care funding, but they've kept on railing against Medicaid expansion.
Rep. Debbie Mayfield, R-Vero Beach, argued against taking federal money to expand Medicaid, the joint state-federal health insurance program for the very poor, saying it wasn't Florida's money to take....
PolitiFact Florida annotates Rick Scott's comments about LIP and Medicaid expansion05/12/15 Blog
Gov. Rick Scott told a press gaggle in Washington on May 6 that a meeting with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell yielded no answers on the future of the Low Income Pool.
Scott said that HHS was delaying word on their own program in spite of his best efforts. The agency's inaction was neither expected nor warranted, and was holding up Florida's budget.
PolitiFact Florida decided to take a closer look at his comments and put them into perspective. PolitiFact annotated a transcript of Scott's comments to help readers learn a little more about the LIP, Medicaid expansion and where the budget stands now....
PolitiFact Florida: Gov. Rick Scott misses mark on hospital profitability05/07/15 State Roundup
Before the Florida Legislature fought to a budget standstill over a hole in health care funding, Gov. Rick Scott said lawmakers should stop worrying about giving state money to profitable hospitals.
His warning came as legislators faced losing the Low Income Pool, or LIP, a joint state-federal program that helps some hospitals and clinics pay for treating uninsured and underinsured patients. Washington last year announced the fund was going to expire in 2015, taking at least $1.3 billion in matching federal funds out of the state budget....

You are right he earned it. I'm a Celtics fan even though I live in north Carolina. I have always like the Celtics during Larry birds days. It will not be the same in Boston without pierce. I wish him luck I'll have follow the nets now. He hurts that pierce is gone but he will always be a true Celtic.. like he said before I hope he can get a one day contract with the Celtics so he can retire in Boston. If not that will be alright. You will be truly missed.. go nets beat the heat.

They say nothing good ever comes easy. That you always enjoy victory that much more after you've tasted the pain of defeat. That it's always more gratifying to reach the mountain top when you've failed many times before. This is true whether you're playing high school, college, or professional sports. Hell, it's true of life in general. Those who have never lost, never truly know what it's like to win (besides Bill Russell. Every rule has an exception). Pierce was the 10th overall pick in the 1998 draft It has never been more true than in the case of Paul Pierce. Today marks the end of Pierce's tenure in Boston. An amazingly sad day for those who have watched him play over the past 15 seasons. Pierce resonates with his fan base like few other athletes do, and I think I know why. You see, much like most of us, success didn't come easy for Pierce. Instead he earned it. He earned it through his immense talents, sure. But he also earned it through the time he put in, through the l...

Former Bolton Supervisor Zandy Gabriels looked at the crowd who ate a wide variety of creative dishes prepared and shared by the attendees.
"This is what a small town is all about - helping someone when they have a problem," he said. "The people who organized it are good-hearted people - This makes me proud to be a Boltonian."
Event organizer Kathleen Simmes echoed the point in fewer words.
"This is just awesome," she said.
A substantial portion of the money raised came from money bid on items and services donated by area businesses for a silent auction held at Saturday's dinner. Bolton resident Dale Erhardt had canvassed a lot of the local businesses for the donations. The remainder came from individual donations by Boltonians.
Shaw has been in a financial crunch because she worked for years for the Adirondack Mountain Club, and she had no health insurance program. Now, she must rely on Medicaid reimbursement to offset most, but not all of the medical expenses.
Monday, Wilson said the event had raised $5,060, and people still seeking to donate can deposit donations at any TD Banknorth, payable to the Carol Shaw Fund, or send checks to Simmes at the Bolton Town Hall.
"People's generosity has saved Carol's home from back taxes, and there's enough for Carol to have a little towards her heating bills this winter."

Ne-Yo - The "Red Tails" InterviewShaffer Chimere Smith, aka Ne-Yo, was born in Camden, Arkansas, but raised in Las Vegas, Nevada by his mom, a musician of Chinese and African American descent. He began making a name for himself as a singer/songwriter in 1999, going on to compose hits for Mary J. Blige, Faith Evans, Christina Milian, B2K, Mario and others, and also to record four solo albums.
In 2006, he added acting to his repertoire, making his screen debut in Save the Last Dance, later appearing in Stomp the Yard and, more recently, in Battle: Los Angeles. Here, he talks about his co-starring opposite Cuba Gooding, Jr. and Terrence Howard as Andrew "Smoky" Salem in Red Tails, a World War II saga recounting the daring exploits of the Tuskegee Airmen in the skies over Europe.

Tokyo Exchange Plans Osaka Merger Amid Industry Consolidation
March 10 (Bloomberg) -- Tokyo Stock Exchange Group Inc., which runs the world's second-largest equity market, plans to hold merger discussions with Osaka Securities Exchange Co. as takeovers sweep exchanges around the world.
The 133-year-old exchange, home to Sony Corp. and Toyota Motor Corp., is interested in acquiring its Osaka rival, which operates a derivatives trading system with Nikkei 225 Stock Average futures, President Atsushi Saito said in an interview today. Osaka Exchange president Michio Yoneda said the bourse was prepared to finalized a deal within in three months if it is to happen, a spokesman for that bourse said. The Tokyo Stock Exchange will also start preparing an initial share sale after reporting its earnings for the period ending March, Saito said.
Trading volume and the number of listed companies at the Tokyo Stock Exchange declined in 2010, while trading of derivatives expanded faster in Asia than anywhere else. The merger between Japan's two largest bourses would be the latest in a cascade of planned exchange tie-ups totaling more than $21 billion since October, including Deutsche Boerse's agreement last month to buy NYSE Euronext to create the world's largest exchange operator.
"The merger between the Tokyo and Osaka exchanges is an inevitable part of the process of globalization," said Mitsushige Akino, who oversees about $450 million in Tokyo at Ichiyoshi Investment Management Co. "It will be tough for the Tokyo Stock Exchange to take the initiative and proceed given how they're behind the curve."
Derivatives Trading
"We're looking at this very positively, but we haven't started talks," said Saito, a former Nomura Holdings Inc. executive. "We've made absolutely no decisions on timing."
The Tokyo bourse sent a statement that no decision has been made on a merger, responding to an earlier Nikkei newspaper report. The Osaka exchange, which also operates the Jasdaq Securities Exchange, issued a statement saying there was no truth to the report. Shares in Osaka Exchange climbed as much as 12 percent before closing 6.9 higher at 460,000 yen, giving the company a market capitalization of 124.2 billion yen ($1.5 billion).
"President Yoneda said: 'If we're going to do it, we're prepared to lock the deal in three months,' but, the official comment as Osaka Securities Exchange is still there is no truth,'' Masahiro Yada, a spokesman for the Osaka exchange said. Kyodo News earlier quoted Yoneda as saying he expected a merger agreement could be reached within three months.
'Strong Domestic Exchange'
Derivatives trading in the Asia-Pacific region increased more in 2010 than it did in the Americas and in Europe, Africa and the Middle East, according to data compiled by the World Federation of Exchanges. Asia now accounts for the largest portion of derivatives transactions with 8.9 billion contracts traded last year, compared with 8.8 billion in the Americas.
A purchase of Osaka for the Tokyo Stock Exchange "would make them a very strong domestic exchange, combining both equities and derivatives," said Richard Repetto, an analyst at Sandler O'Neill & Partners LP in New York. "The derivatives component of exchanges garners a higher valuation globally since the cash equities business is seen as very competitive."
The Tokyo Stock Exchange, which has been the center of Japan's stock trading since 1878, faces increasing competition from growing bourses in countries such as China, as global investors increasingly raise investments in those markets in-line with the surge in economic expansion. The Tokyo exchange delayed an initial public offering in March 2009 after the biggest global financial crisis since the Great Depression.
China Competition
The Osaka exchange traded 1.4 million units of Nikkei 225 futures and 8.6 million of a smaller version of the product in February, according to the company.
China overtook Japan last year as the world's second-largest economy behind the U.S. Japan's economy shrank an annualized 1.3 percent in the fourth quarter, the Cabinet Office said today. China's economy grew 9.8 percent in the quarter, according to the statistics bureau on Jan. 20.
The Nikkei 225 Stock Average has plunged about 73 percent from its peak on Dec. 29, 1989, while China's Shanghai Composite Index has surged about 30-fold since December 1990.
Discussions between the two Japanese exchanges would follow Deutsche Boerse's Feb. 15 agreement to buy NYSE Euronext for $9.53 billion. Singapore Exchange Ltd. bid A$8.35 billion ($8.4 billion) in October for ASX Ltd., which runs the Australian stock market, and London Stock Exchange Group agreed Feb. 9 to pay 1.94 billion pounds ($3.14 billion) to buy Canada's TMX Group Inc.
Race For IPOs
Average trading volume on the Tokyo Stock Exchange fell 8.2 percent to 2.12 billion shares a day in 2010, from 2.31 billion shares the year earlier, according to the exchange.
The number of initial public offerings in Japan so far this year reached 11, compared with 33 in China and 23 in Hong Kong, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
There were just 12 foreign companies listed on the Tokyo exchange as of July last year, compared with a peak of 127 in 1991, according to the exchange.
The market value of stocks listed in Japan totals $4.12 trillion, behind only the U.S. at $16.3 trillion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
"There's a change in the tide, with the Japanese realizing they have to consolidate in a situation where demand is very weak," said Diane Lin, a Sydney-based fund manager at Pengana Capital Ltd., which has about $1 billion of assets.
Chi-X Growth
The main equity markets in Japan are facing competition from Chi-X Japan Ltd., an alternative venue that started in July. The system handled 282 billion yen in equities last month and accounted for almost 1.2 percent of trading in Nikkei 225 stocks on Tokyo exchange's auction market, according to a notice. Parent company Chi-X Global Inc. is owned by New York-based Instinet Inc., a subsidiary of Nomura Holdings Inc. in Tokyo.
Tokyo Stock Exchange introduced a faster trading platform in January 2010 called Arrowhead, developed by Fujitsu Ltd. and other companies. The exchange operator also modernized trading rules and the market data it compiles to suit investors eager to buy and sell shares electronically with less delay.
"Tokyo doesn't want to be left behind," said Simmy Grewal, a London-based analyst with Aite Group LLC in Boston. "With all the mergers going on, they want to be on the competing field. Asia is the next hunting ground."

Background: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) secretion is suppressed by glucocorticoids and stimulated by catecholamines. Patients with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have decreased cortisol and increased catecholamine secretion. The purpose of this study was to assess the relation of IL-6 levels and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal and noradrenergic activity in patients with well-characterized PTSD. Methods: Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was withdrawn via a lumbar subarachnoid catheter over 6 h from 11 combat veterans with PTSD and 8 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Blood was withdrawn concurrently. We measured IL-6, CRH and norepinephrine concentrations in the CSF and IL-6, ACTH, cortisol and norepinephrine in plasma. Results: Mean and median CSF IL-6 concentrations were higher in PTSD than in controls (mean = 24.0 vs. 14.6, p = 0.05; median = 26.7 vs. 14.3, p < 0.03): plasma IL-6 concentrations, however, were not different between the two groups. Plasma IL-6 and norepinephrine were positively correlated in the PTSD group (r = +0.74, p < 0.04), but not in normals (r = –0.55, p = 0.20). Conclusions: PTSD patients have increased CSF concentrations of IL-6. Their plasma IL-6 is not elevated but is more tightly associated with noradrenergic output in these patients than in normals. Both findings might be explained by the low cortisol secretion previously reported in PTSD as a result of lowered glucocorticoid suppression of IL-6 secretion. High levels of CSF IL-6 may reflect neurodegeneration or compensatory neuroprotection.

hmmmm...in Atherton there are one family per acre... maybe average of 4 people per acre.. How many people there are in Palo Alto per acre? Anyone? I think that is great news. Good to know about neighbors, especially when it comes to property values and trying to figure out how to resolve equal housing issues and why some are walking around on the streets.

Deep in the recesses of the Next Door shoot house, there's a party going on. With 9 hot guys getting loose in the basement, something is about to go down. James Huntsman is serving up the drinks to fellow Next Door studs Tyler Torro, Connor Maguire, Brody Wilder, Johnny Torque, Campbell Stevens, Donny Wright, James Jamesson and Cameron Foster, and as the libations pour, the action heats up. With their drink already properly on, the guys look to satisfy their other urges, as steely glances give way to a den of flesh. Before long, the bodies begin to converge and the clothes come flying off. Tyler Torro and Johnny Torque takes turns with Cameron Foster's sweet ass, while James Jamesson & Brody WIlder trade off fucking Donny Wright's mouth. Getting in on the action, bartender James Huntsman takes turns with Connor Maguire as Campbell Stevens swordfights the two hunks in his mouth, before James flips Connor over and begins pumping him from behind. Tyler and Johnny switch up and Cameron Foster lets out a shriek as Johnny enters, the whole room turning into a skanky sweaty mess of musky men and funk as the guys line up and, one by one, shoot their loads like a firing squad. This is one party you'll be glad to crash!Enjoy!

Elusive Gem 1852-O Seated Half Dime, MS65 PCGS1852-O H10C MS65 PCGS. The 1852-O started as a low mintage issue with just 260,000 pieces produced. Add to this the fact that many examples were melted during the economic turmoil of the early Gold Rush years and it becomes obvious why so few Mint State coins are extant. Richly and originally toned, the present Gem is bathed in mottled gray-brown patina over the obverse, the reverse is an even silver-gray color. The overall bold strike is free of criticism for an O-mint Seated coin, and neither side reveals any abrasions of note.

It's not possible to prevent these tiny little scratches on the glass under normal use. All it takes is a grain of sand or something similar. People may think they are being careful, and they are careful, but it is simply not possible using any reasonab measures. Sapphire would have solved this, but not this year.

A very calm morning on the north shore of Lake Tahoe.
... and yes, the water really is that color. The shallows, especially on the north shore, reflect the green light spectrum, and as the water gets deep it turns to blue.

Rotating a .MOV file
So my son gave me a smart new digital camera that also does Video. Which I tried out.
Unfortunately.... it was of his 62 year old mother on a trampoline, with her two year old granddaughter, and obviously that required a "portrait" orientation.
Now, of course, when played back, it is rotated 90 degrees anti-clockwise... :-(
Is there any way to rotate it so that she bounces up and down, instead of left-to-right ?
Re: Rotating a .MOV file
How's this? :D
Re: Rotating a .MOV file
