Swelling lake forces mass evacuation in Pakistan
RAWALPINDI, Pakistan (AP) - Dozens of villages in northern Pakistan must be evacuated as army troops dig spillways to drain a swelling lake that has submerged homes and roads since being formed by a massive landslide, the army's chief engineer said Thursday.
The lake is rising at a rate of three feet (one meter) per day and already has submerged dozens of homes and farms in the remote mountainous area close to the border with China.
Lt. Gen. Shahid Niaz said 25,000 people had already left by boat after the lake covered roads leading out of the Upper Hunza Valley following the Jan. 4 landslide. Thousands more from 36 villages on the Hunza River downstream are still in the danger zone.
Niaz said arrangements had been made for any emergency. He spoke amid fears the rubble that created the lake could collapse, causing flash floods that would endanger downstream villages.
Niaz did not give a figure for the area currently covered by the lake, but said it stretched for 10 miles (16 kilometers). It is expected to begin draining from the spillways by the end of the month, he said.
The spillways were designed to be a temporary fix. Officials said rains in July would likely cause the rubble to collapse, but enough water would have drained by then to minimize the deluge.
Niaz also downplayed worries that a collapse would threaten the Tarbela Dam 240 miles (400 kilometers) downstream, which is the world's largest dam made from earth and rock. The Tarbela Dam was too far downstream and "faces no danger," he said.
A breach would further inundate portions of the already blocked Karakoram Highway, a vital trade link to China.

Configuring Web Service Extensions
Updated: August 22, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
Many Web sites and applications hosted on IIS include dynamic content and other enhanced capabilities. Providing dynamic content and other enhanced capabilities requires executable code, such as ASP, ASP.NET, and Internet Server API (ISAPI) extensions. The handlers that extend IIS functionality beyond serving static pages are known as Web service extensions.
Because of the enhanced security features in IIS 6.0, you can enable or disable individual Web service extensions. After upgrade, all of the Web service extensions are enabled except for the extensions that are mapped to 404.dll by the IIS Lockdown Tool. If you did not run the IIS Lockdown Tool prior to upgrade, all of the Web service extensions are enabled.
The Windows Server 2003 upgrade creates a permission entry for Web service extensions, which enables all of the Web service extensions that are not explicitly prohibited. Enabling all of the Web service extensions ensures the highest possible compatibility with your Web sites. However, doing this creates a security risk by enabling functionality that might not be necessary for your server, which increases the attack surface of the server.
|Web service extensions allow you to enable and disable the serving of dynamic content Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) types allow you to enable and disable the serving of static content. For more information about enabling and disabling the serving of static content, see Configuring MIME Types.
Configure the Web service extensions after upgrade by completing the following steps:
Configure the Web service extensions list so that the following entries, which enable all Web service extensions, are set to Prohibited:
All Unknown Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Extensions
All Unknown ISAPI Extensions
- All Unknown Common Gateway Interface (CGI) Extensions
Enable the essential predefined Web service extensions based on the information in Table 5.7.
Table 5.7 Predefined Web Service Extensions
Web Service Extension Enable When
Active Server Pages
One or more of the Web sites or applications contains ASP content.
ASP.NET version 1.1.4322
One or more of the Web sites or applications contains ASP.NET content.
FrontPage Server Extensions 2002
One or more of the Web sites are FrontPage extended.
Internet Data Connector (IDC)
One or more of the Web sites or applications uses the IDC to display database information (content includes .idc and .idx files).
Server-Side Includes
One or more of the Web sites uses server-side include (SSI) directives to instruct the Web server to insert various types of content into a Web page.
Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV)
You want to support WebDAV on the Web server. Not recommended for dedicated Web servers.
For each Web service extension that is used by your applications and is not a one of the default Web service extensions, add a new entry to the Web service extensions list and configure the status of the new entry to Allowed.
For example, one of your applications might use an ISAPI extension to provide access to a proprietary database. Add the ISAPI extension to the Web service extensions list, and then configure the status of the ISAPI extension to Allowed.
For information about how to add a Web service extension and enable the extension, see Configure Web Service Extensions.
Use a Web browser on a client computer to verify that the Web sites and applications run on the server.

One white, one Native American. The Native American named England is 20 and lost his fiancee in January and they have a child together, he also lost his father who was shot by a B/M who he caught trying to break into his daughters home. They scuffled and Carl England was shot in the chest and died. The suspect was caught and is currently serving six years in prison for a weapons violation! A weapons violation?! Why not serving life for murder in the commission of Burglary? Was he right, oh heck no and his accomplish is a 43 yr old room mate. The family and friends are saying he was not bigoted and that this isn't a racial thing but I think it is. maybe, just maybe he was shooting B/M's because he blamed them as a group and not because he blames black people in general, but what about his room mate? He certainly was not afflicted with these serious mental and emotional problems. Both should go to jail for life, sorry.

The Chicago Cubs have designated former All-Star Carlos Marmol for assignment, parting ways with the struggling reliever. The Cubs announced the move Tuesday. They have 10 days to trade or release him or send him outright to the minors if he clears waivers. He was 2-4 with two saves and a 5.86 ERA in 31 appearances this season, striking out 32 while walking 21 batters. An All-Star as a setup man in 2008, Marmol became the team's closer in late 2009 and compiled 117 saves, third on the team's all-time list. He was 23-32 with a 3.50 ERA in 483 appearances over eight seasons with Chicago, and he was booed at Wrigley Field during his recent struggles. The Cubs also selected the contract of outfielder Brian Bogusevic from Triple-A Iowa.

For very good reasons, the "religiousright" in America seems to get a lot of attention from the mainstream press, but few would know there's also a "religious left."
Decades ago, the late Rev. Jerry Falwell and his minions created "Christian conservatism" out of thin air, using emotional hysteria over abortion as an anchor to launch a new politics from the right.
The General Assembly completed its work a day early this year, adjourning on Friday, February 27. That is a pretty dramatic contrast to last year's session, which ended without a budget and immediately went into a special session to resolve the impasse. So instead of finishing our work in June, we actually finished in February.

The 2015 Virginia General Assembly Session finished Sine Die on Friday, February 27. I am proud to report that we completed our work one day early and successfully dealt with most of the priority issues of the session.
By Del. Terry Austin
19th District
Last week, the General Assembly wrapped up the 2015 session. We adjourned early for the first time in 15 years, adopted a balanced budget, and offered positive solutions to issues important to Virginians.
With increasing regularity, Americans are bearing witness to the depravity of terrorists claiming the mantle of "The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" or ISIS, but also sometimes referred to as ISIL. Relatively unknown to many in America just a few years ago, ISIS relishes in their own barbarity with videos depicting the murders of prisoners. As we have seen recently in Denmark, France, Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany, these terrorists are intent on destroying our way of life.
By Congressman Robert Hurt
The Federal Reserve System supervises nearly all banking in the United States and plays a substantial role in the domestic and global economies. Since its creation in 1913, the Federal Reserve's Board of Governors has expanded its power, and its role in monetary policy has gone relatively unchecked. Given the impact that its policies can have on our economy, the Federal Reserve must be transparent and its leaders must be held accountable to the American people.
Meetings are often really boring affairs. The one Bedford County's Republicans held two weeks ago, however, was certainly anything but boring. I love a good political fight and these guys did not disappoint me. It was a truly entertaining gathering.
I usually don't go to political party meetings, but the Republicans have held a couple in the last six months that were significant. I went to this one because they were going to choose the method of selecting Republican nominees for local offices in this fall's election.
Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush is getting most of the attention lately as various Republicans position themselves to be a candidate for president in 2016.
This would be the third Bush of his clan to seek the presidency, giving rise to some strong feelings one way or the other about dynasties in politics.
The second to last week of session is ordinarily one of the busiest. Both House and Senate Committees have to finish work on the bills that have been assigned to them during this week, to ensure there is sufficient time for legislation to be debated in the respective chambers and – if there are differences – negotiated by committees of conference.
In a week that included the lowest ever recorded temperature in our district and in Richmond along with significant snowfall, the 2015 Session of the Virginia General Assembly didn't miss a day and has seen over 2000 bills work their way through the legislature this year. So far, we have been able to protect many of our shared values of faith and family, support for Constitutional government, ethics reform and requiring government to live within its means.

Someone who has morals and values and cares about spending time with family and friends. My guy has to have a sense of humor and be open minded. Fun Facts About Me: - I love marathons. - I think I can run the marathon in heels. I love heels.

My fiance has a grandson with a staph infection in his finger coming over for Christmas. I am concerned about exposure to this, as I am on Enbrel shots.
When on Enbrel, is it dangerous too be around someone who has a staph, (possibly mersa) infection?

Enbrel can reduce your ability to fight infection but the most likely infections you could contract are respiratory infections. I think you will be fine as long as you observe good hand washing techniques and the boy has the infected finger covered with a clean bandage. After the grandson leaves be sure to wipe surfaces down with a disinfectant cleaner.

5 CFR 2634.303 - Purchases, sales, and exchanges.
(a) In general. Except as indicated in § 2634.308(b) of this subpart, each financial disclosure report filed pursuant to this subpart shall include a brief description, the date and value (using the categories of value in § 2634.301(d) of this subpart) of any purchase, sale, or exchange by the filer during the reporting period, in which the amount involved in the transaction exceeds $1,000:
(1) Of real property, other than a personal residence of the filer or spouse, as defined in§ 2634.105(l) of this part; and
(1) Any transaction solely by and between the reporting individual, his spouse, and dependent children need not be reported under paragraph (a) of this section.
(2) Transactions involving Treasury bills, notes, and bonds; money market mutual funds or accounts; and personal savings accounts (as defined in§ 2634.301(c)(2) of this subpart) need not be reported when occurring at rates, terms, and conditions available generally to members of the public. Likewise, transactions involving portfolio holdings of trusts and investment funds described in § 2634.310 (b) and (c) of this subpart need not be reported.
(3) Any transaction which occurred at a time when the reporting individual was not a Federal Government officer or employee need not be reported under paragraph (a) of this section.
Example 1.
An official sells her personal residence in Virginia for $100,000 and purchases a personal residence in the District of Columbia for $200,000. She need not report the sale of the Virginia residence or the purchase of the D.C. residence.
Example 2.
An official sells his beach home in Maryland for $50,000. Because he has rented it out for one month every summer, it does not qualify as a personal residence. He must disclose the sale under this section and any capital gain over $200 realized on the sale under § 2634.302 of this subpart.
Example 3.
An official sells a ranch to his dependent daughter. The official need not report the sale because it is a transaction between the reporting individual and a dependent child; however, any capital gain, except for that portion attributable to a personal residence, is required to be reported under § 2634.302 of this subpart.
Example 4.
An official sells an apartment building and realizes a loss of $100,000. He must report the sale of the building if the sale price of the property exceeds $1,000; however, he need not report anything under § 2634.302 of this subpart, as the sale did not result in a capital gain.
[57 FR 11808, Apr. 7, 1992; 57 FR 21854, May 22, 1992, as amended at 71 FR 28233, May 16, 2006]

Initial results from Virgin Atlantic' live trial of the Arinc Cabin Connect in-flight broadband service is attracting commercially viable volumes of usage by passengers using smartphones and tablet computers.
The trial has been running four months on Virgin's Airbus A330 routes to Washington DC, New York and Barbados.
ARINC's director satellite solutions and cabin services Lee Costin says: "We are delighted that the process is running smoothly and the airline is reporting a high degree of satisfaction."
Virgin's customer experience manager Alan Penlington says: "We've been pleased with the response from passengers to our in-flight connectivity trial, with the system working well technically, usage numbers strong and increasing, and great ad-hoc feedback being received."
The system uses the aircraft's existing Cobham HGA 7001 antenna, Honeywell MCS7200 terminal and a single-channel Inmarsat SwiftBroadband connection. Passengers log in through a wireless hotspot portal from their seats.

David Simon, Business '85, donated $5 million toward the construction of the Business School's planned buildings on the Manhattanville campus.
In July, two investors donated $40 million to the Business School, putting it within $100 million of its $600 million goal for Manhattanville. This followed another high-profile donation of $100 million in May by alum Ronald O. Perelman.
Simon is CEO of Simon Property Group, Inc., the largest publicly traded real estate company in the United States.
Simon said in a statement that the Business School "played an integral role in helping me become an effective chief executive officer."
"The new facilities in Manhattanville offer exciting opportunities for Columbia to continue to shape the next generation of business leaders," he said.
The buildings will occupy more than 450,000 feet of the new campus, and University President Lee Bollinger estimated in May that construction will likely start in a year and a half to two years.
Coincidentally, according to the AFL-CIO's CEO paywatch site, "In 2013," Columbia University Business School Construction Project Funder "David Simon received $15,695,528 in total compensation," "by comparison, the average worker made $35,239 in 2013" and "David Simon made 445 times the average worker's pay." Perhaps the $5 million in tax-exempt money that Simon donated to Columbia University should be redistributed to community residents in Harlem who aren't being paid a living wage, instead?

The song "Sister Suffragette" in a clip from the 1964 Disney film Mary Poppins represents an introduction to women's history for many. It has been used in lesson plans, as well as to refer to the English suffrage movement. It's worth revisiting the scene through YouTube: "Sister Suffragete Sing Along," the written lyrics, or a more sober clip of news commentary such as "Who were the suffragettes?"

This was also his second best start of the year, Altoona starts included, with his best being eight shutout innings on July 12th. Indianapolis carried a lead into the eighth inning until Kyle Farnsworth gave up two runs. Farnsworth has now given up three earned runs in 1.2 innings over two appearances. Vic Black got the loss, giving up a walk off homer in the bottom of the ninth. AA: ALTOONA CURVE Box Score Result: Reading 2, Altoona 0 Starting Pitcher: David Bromberg, RHP (6-10, 3.17) – 5.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 4 K, 0 HR Top Hitter: Travis Snider, RF (.333) – 1-for-3 Other Notable Performers: Alen Hanson, SS (.186) – 1-for-4 Game Notes: Altoona Loses Pitcher's Duel Against Reading.

He also stole his 11th base of the year. Luis Urena picked up his third double and his first triple in West Virginia, spanning 72 at-bats. He only has a .167 average, but is showing some power with a .152 ISO. He also has 39 strikeouts in those 72 at-bats, which sums up his career. He shows some impressive power with flashes of dominant hitting, but his lack of plate patience will hold him back. John Kuchno continued his impressive run in the second half of West Virginia's season. He has a 3.51 ERA in 59 innings over 11 starts, with a 39:16 K/BB ratio. A-: JAMESTOWN JAMMERS Box Score Result: Jamestown 4, Mahoning Valley 2 Starting Pitcher: Chad Kuhl, RHP (2.23) – 5.0 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 0 HR Top Hitter: Edwin Espinal, 1B (.299) – 1-for-4, HR Other Notable Performers: Jin-De Jhang, DH (.297) – 2-for-4, 2 2B Wyatt Mathisen, C (.667) – 2-for-3, 2 RBI Game Notes: Edwin Espinal hit his second homer of the season, and his second in as many days. He extended his hitting streak to ten games, hitting for a .417/.425/.667 line in 36 at-bats over that span. Wyatt Mathisen added two more hits, and is now 4-for-6 in two appearances with Jamestown. Jin-De Jhang followed up his two home run game on Monday with a two double game today, giving him eight on the season. Jhang now has five multi-hit games in his last seven games, and is hitting for a .325/.325/.525 line in 40 at-bats over his last ten games.

Jim Hightower - Say 'No way' to NSA
The very fine public servant, Russ Feingold, cautioned against the steady slippage of our democracy toward autocracy back in October 2001, when he stood tall as the only U.S. Senator to vote against the Patriot Act. Warning that its anti-democratic provisions would create a nation "where the government is entitled to open your mail, eavesdrop on your phone conversations, or intercept your email communications," Feingold rightly concluded: "That country wouldn't be America."
So here we are, having devolved from the founders' principled insistence on erecting the strongest palisades for the defense of the people's personal liberties — to now having a secret government inside our borders and inside our lives. The National Security Agency is running a labyrinthine, secret, extravagant, unconstitutional and out-of-control electronic surveillance operation that targets you.
Yes, you! And me. Its not just German Chancellor Angela Merkel and other head-of-state allies who are furious that this veracious nest of snoops has been listening-in on their private conversations for years, but also everyone living in our own Land of the Free. We citizens have been redefined by our government as suspects.
Not that NSA officialdom actually thinks that you, Mr. Upright or Ms. Doright, are terrorists or even "persons of interest" — but, then again, you might be. So, the spook bureaucracy has unilaterally chosen to create an elaborate, electronic Rube-Goldbergish spy matrix that (A) appropriates and agglomerates everyone's "metadata" — a geek term defined as data that provides information about other data — channels it into (B) banks of rapidly spinning supercomputers that (C) analyze your and my terrorist inclinations, based on (D) the phone calls we make and get, (E) e-mails we send and receive, (F) websites we visit and topics we Google, (G) Facebook friends and pages we like, and (H) credit card expenditures and bank transactions we make.
Even the code-names of NSA's array of electronic eyes are almost comically Orwellian: PRISM, Tempora, XKeyscore, and — my favorite — Boundless Informant.
Boundless indeed.
But all this, and for what? To make you and me safe from terrorists, the hierarchy chants in unison. Constantly pointing to 9/11, the spies and their political henchmen solemnly assert that, hypothetically, bulk surveillance of every American might have, possibly could have, maybe would have stopped that horrific plot. But the phone conversations that mattered in that case were those that did NOT happen — the breakdown in communication between the CIA and the FBI, and between FBI headquarters and its local agents.
When the top brass of U.S. SpyWorld did a dog-and-pony show for the House intelligence committee on June 18, they claimed that "dozens" of terrorist attacks had been prevented since 9/11 by NSA's SuperVac programs. Dozens? "More than 50," clarified NSA's director. But wait, how many of those were plots for terrorist attacks on our soil? "A little over 10," he mumbled. That's it? Years of scooping up ALL metadata on EVERY American to find only 10 plots?
Moreover, he was able to name only four of those 10, and none were serious threats to do major harm to Americans. In fact, one involved a bombing in India, one is a questionable case of $8,500 ostensibly sent to terrorists in Somalia, one was actually uncovered by regular police work, and the fourth was not a plot to attack the U.S., but to send funds abroad to al-Qaida. For this, we should shred our Bill of Rights?
"We've got congressional oversight and judicial oversight," Obama said to a reporter on Sept. 13, then expressed exasperation that people don't have faith in the system, "And if people can't trust not only the executive branch, but also don't trust Congress and don't trust federal judges to make sure that we're abiding by the Constitution, due process, and rule of law, then we're going to have some problems here."
Well, yes sir, you do have some problems, BIG ones. Obama and the surveillance establishment are proposing a bit more "disclosure" to fix the agency's PR problem. But that's just warmed over B.S. We can't give him — or Congress — a pass on this. It's too big, too destructive of our values and self-respect. NSA's domestic spy matrix and the Patriot Act itself confront us as a multi-eyed, hydra-headed, democracy-devouring monster. Forget disclosure; the monster must be dismantled.
(Jim Hightower has been called American's most popular populist. The radio commentator and former Texas Commissioner of Agriculture is author of seven books, including "There's Nothing In the Middle of Road but Yellow Stripes and Dead Armadillos" and his new work, "Swim Against the Current: Even Dead Fish Can Go With The Flow".)

Pat Buchanan - 'Normal' never coming back?
The first reports in early May of 1960 were that a U.S. weather plane, flying out of Turkey, had gone missing. A silent Moscow knew better. After letting the Americans crawl out on a limb, expatiating on their cover story, Russia sawed it off.
Actually, said Nikita Khrushchev, we shot down a U.S. spy plane 1000 miles inside our country flying over a restricted zone. We have the pilot, we have the camera, we have the pictures. We have the hollow silver dollar containing the poisoned-tipped needle CIA pilot Francis Gary Powers declined to use.
Two weeks later, Khrushchev used the U-2 incident and Ike's refusal to apologize to dynamite the Paris summit and the gauzy Spirit of Camp David that had come out of his 10-day visit to the USA. Eisenhower's reciprocal trip to Russia was now dead.
A year later, President Kennedy would be berated by Khrushchev in Vienna. The Berlin Wall would go up. And Khrushchev would begin secretly to install nuclear missiles in Cuba, 90 miles from Key West.
Had there been no U-2 incident, would the history of the Cold War have been different? Perhaps.
Yet, while there were critics of launching Power's U-2 flight so close to the summit, Americans understood the need for espionage. Like us, the Soviets were installing ballistic missiles, every single one of which could incinerate an American city.
Post 9/11, too, Americans accepted the necessity for the National Security Agency to retrieve and sift through phone calls and e-mails to keep us secure from terror attacks. Many have come to accept today's risks of an invasion of their privacy — for greater security for their family. And there remains a deposit of trust among Americans that the NSA, the CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency are not only working for us, they are defending us.
How long Americans will continue to repose this trust, however, is starting to come into question. Last week, we learned that a high official of the U.S. government turned 200 private phone numbers of 35 friendly foreign leaders, basically the Rolodex of the president, over to the NSA for tapping and taping. Allied leaders, with whom America works toward common goals, have for years apparently had their private conversations listened to, transcribed and passed around by their supposed U.S. friends.
Angela Merkel has apparently been the subject of phone taps since before she rose to the leadership of Germany and Europe. A victim of the East German Stasi, Ms. Merkel is not amused.
We are told not to be naive; everyone does it. Spying, not only between enemies but among allies, is commonplace. This is how the world works. Deal with it.
But why are we doing this? Is it all really about coping with the terrorist threat? Or is it because we have the ability to do it, and the more information we have, even stolen surreptitiously from friends and allies, the better? Gives us a leg up in the great game of nations.
U.S. diplomats say that one of their assignments abroad is to know what the host government is thinking and planning politically, economically, strategically. That this is an aspect of diplomacy. But relations among friendly nations are not unlike the NFL. While films are taken of rival teams' games and studied, scouts observe practices, and rumors are picked up of injuries, there are lines that most opposing NFL teams do not cross. The lines of unethical conduct and criminality.
To learn that an owner or coach of one NFL franchise had wiretapped the home phones of coaches and players of a Super Bowl rival would, if revealed, be regarded as rotten business.
What kind of camaraderie, cooperation or friendship can endure in an environment where constant snooping on one's closest friends is accepted practice?
In the Nixon White House, there were serious leaks that revealed our secret bombing of Communist sanctuaries in Cambodia to protect our troops, and of our fallback position in the strategic arms talks. Wiretaps were planted on aides to Henry Kissinger and White House staffers who had no knowledge of what had been leaked. Relationships were altered, some poisoned for a lifetime.
Why should we not expect a similar reaction among foreign friends who discover their personal and political secrets have been daily scooped up and filed by their American friends, and found their way into the president's daily intelligence brief?
The Cold War was a clash of ideologies and empires for the future of the world. Men took drastic measures to preserve what they had. At the end of the Cold War, the old tactics and measures were not set aside, but improved upon, and now are no longer restricted for use against the likes of al-Qaida, but against allies.
At the Cold War's end, the late Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick talked hopefully of America becoming again "a normal country in a normal time." Seems as though the normal times are never coming back.

Henry D. Lipman - Crafting expanded health insurance coverage — a N.H. avantage!
As someone who has been deeply involved in New Hampshire health care delivery and financing for more than a quarter century, I have personally observed the health consequences and crushing financial strain of patients without health insurance coverage. People may forgo needed preventative care and treatment, go without needed medications, and often end up in emergency departments, the most expensive place to receive treatment. An established primary care relationship would have avoided any needless morbidity or mortality, all of which sap the strength of our families and the economic vitality of our communities. It is with this perspective that I 'd like to impress upon those pursuing a legislative solution to increased access to health insurance, how important it is to both craft the access and sustainable financing to ensure that an initial achievement remains a sustainable one.
In crafting the New Hampshire plan for expanded health insurance coverage, the saying that comes to mind is "measure twice and cut once." This saying also describes the challenge for the New Hampshire Legislature. We have only one opportunity to achieve this in a responsible and sustainable way, thus maximizing benefits for our state while minimizing any risks. It is vitally important to all of our fellow citizens that we get this right.
There appears to be a growing political consensus that expanded health insurance coverage represents the fundamental building block for improving health care for the citizenry. However, the benefits of such an expansion alone will prove illusory without a sustainable financing plan behind it.
As an individual citizen, I call upon our elected state leaders to expand health insurance coverage through a New Hampshire solution that adds to the New Hampshire Advantage. Other states have crafted state-centric plans and have sought and obtained the necessary waivers from the federal government on a speedy basis. From my perspective, the key elements of such a plan would include:
1. Strengthening New Hampshire's private insurance market for those currently with and without coverage, through use of private insurance to cover newly eligible (and those currently eligible where there is the flexibility and capacity to do so). We as a state are relatively small from a population standpoint, which makes it hard to support options in insurance coverage. Retaining individuals in the private market helps us contend with that challenge versus adding to it.
2. Promote the highest level of coverage continuity (i.e. avoid "churning") to promote health and the cost to individuals and the state. It is sensible to have continuity with your provider and insurer so that investments in health promotion can be more readily sustained.
3. Improve budget predictability for the state by financing premiums versus services. In financing premiums versus services, the state will have the benefit of fixed unit costs in the coverage it supports.
4. Ensure protection to the state from any potential financing changes from the federal level. Arguably, the more coverage that comes from tax credits and private coverage reduces future exposure to the state should federal policy shift.
5. Secure a federal match to finance this expanded coverage that is competitive with other neighboring states. Our state is in optimal position now to negotiate the parameters of expanded coverage that will drive the fed's and state's effective participation to support sustainable implementation.
The aforementioned saying expresses something considered to be a general truth. The truth of expanding coverage is that it represents a one-time opportunity to do it right to ensure a sustainable system that protects patients and taxpayers. We can and should come together to achieve a plan with these elements. Moreover, we should allow a relatively short-time, in the scheme of things, to secure the available beneficial waivers from the federal government, as some other states have recently done. That will prove the key "measurement" in the future level of success we get from expanded coverage as individuals and for the generations to follow.
My appreciation is extended to all of those in Concord who are working towards increasing access to health insurance for my home town and the state as a whole.

Susan Estrich - A teacher from Danvers
Danvers, Mass., is two towns away from where I grew up. I used to shop at the mall there. When I was much younger and stronger, I'd ride my bike that far. We played Danvers in football. I went to camp in Danvers.
If you'd asked me yesterday or the day before whether Danvers was a scary town, I would have laughed. Danvers? I live in Los Angeles. In Danvers, kids still ride their bikes at night.
Danvers should be safe. And I always thought it was — until I read about the murder of math teacher Colleen Ritzer, originally from Andover, one more town away, and only a year older than my daughter.
The alleged murderer was arraigned in the First District Court of Essex County. When I was a kid, my first job was at the Essex County Registry of Deeds, right next door to the courthouse, and for "fun" (would-be lawyer that I was), I used to go over at lunch and sit in on the trials. There was one family murder, but I never sat in on a case like this. Things like this didn't happen in Salem or Danvers or Andover.
Until they did.
Why does a 14-year-old murder a well-liked, dedicated, beautiful and talented math teacher just 10 years older than him? I'm sure his lawyers will come up with some excuse, mental illness or an abuse excuse, family troubles, diminished capacity, one of the long list of defenses and excuses I used to teach.
Is it wrong to say I couldn't care less what his excuse is? Is it wrong to say that if 14 is old enough to kill — and it is — then it's old enough to be responsible and to be punished as an adult?
Maybe I've lost my empathy. Or maybe I've just become very clear about who does and does not deserve empathy Not the alleged killer. The victim and her family.
Ritzer is the second teacher to be killed this week by a student (allegedly, of course). Two days earlier, in Sparks, Nev., another math teacher — this time a man, a former Marine and National Guardsman — was shot at school by a 12-year-old who also shot two other students before killing himself.
You can try to find a pattern. But really, what could it be? That teaching math is life threatening? Ridiculous. I'm pretty sure the gun-control laws in Massachusetts are tougher than in Nevada. So the 14-year-old used a box cutter, allegedly. The kid in Nevada reportedly got his gun from home. Some people are describing the kid in Danvers as "soft-spoken," whatever that means (like the "baby-faced" Marathon bomber, who was no baby-face), and others are speculating that he was infatuated with his math teacher. If every teacher of an infatuated student were vulnerable to murder, well, there would be no profession.
In all of my years living on the North Shore of Boston, as a student and as an adult, I never heard of a student killing a teacher. I certainly would remember. It just didn't happen.
So why now?
It's the sort of thing we need to talk about thoughtfully, not screaming at one another about gun control, but listening respectfully, trying to figure out what's gone wrong and what we can do about it. But we don't have those kinds of conversations anymore — about anything. There is no discourse. It's all just ideological prattle, screaming back and forth, talking heads competing to be outrageous enough to get their own shows.

Sanborn – Only your realtor stands between you and the unknown
September was another strong month for residential home sales in the twelve communities covered by this report. There were 104 transactions at an average sales price of $406,327 for the month compared to 91 sales at $316,816 last September. Last month's average sales price was pumped up by eight sales over $1 million with one sale coming in at $7 million. For the first three quarters of the year there have been 784 sales at an average price of $302,663 compared to 676 sales at an average of $299,060 for the same period in 2012. That's a 15 percent increase in the total number of sales. That's almost as scary as Halloween!
And, as Halloween approaches, I felt it is my civic duty to provide homebuyers with some tips on determining whether a home could be haunted or not. After all, some people are more sensitive to otherworldly phenomenon than others and don't want to live in a house with some unseen previous owners still there. It is kind of the same way some people get worked up about radon. You can't see radon either, but it scares the bejeesus out of some folks.
Anyway, it is worth a discussion because many times a great home is ruled out and not purchased because of something strange going on during a showing. As a realtor, I have a duty to set the record straight and clarify some of these "occurrences." Realtors have had to take continuing education paranormal courses and can help you determine whether the unsettling event you just experienced was a haunting, your imagination, or just part of buying a home. Buying a home without a realtor can be pretty scary.
The most common sign that a place is haunted will be that you will feel like you just walked through a cold spot or that the room suddenly drops in temperature. This could very well mean that you just walked through dear departed Uncle Josiah because he just couldn't get out of the way in time. When you look at houses, try not to move too quickly and barge into rooms. This will give those souls still living there time to get out of your way. Taking your time also allows you to observe more of the home you are considering buying. It might also help you to determine if that sudden chill comes from a broken window or drafty door.
Another common sign that you have an unwanted guest in the house is unexplained noises. Usually, these noises occur in the middle of the night in the pitch black, so if you hear them in broad daylight during the showing you can be assured things are going to get worse. That scurrying and scratching sound could be a squirrel in the ceiling...or maybe not. That banging sound could just be air in the heating pipes, but then you realize the house has forced hot air heat. Did that door just slam shut because Josiah is mad that you are here or is it because of sudden drop in air pressure in the house? Now, you are beginning to see why you need a realtor who can set you straight on these things.
Sometimes on showings you hear hushed, faint whispers when you are in a room by yourself. That can be pretty unnerving, especially when you realize that they whispering about you. Was it your realtor talking to the listing agent? Perhaps not, the listing agent was outside... What about that uneasy feeling that you are being watched? If the homeowner didn't leave during the showing it is can be very uncomfortable and that's why we always try to insist they are not there. But what if Josiah didn't leave either and it feels like he is up on the corner of the ceiling? Makes the hair stand up on your neck, doesn't it? Buying a house on your own can be a scary thing.
It is well documented that strange animal behavior is another indicator that there is an unknown presence in a room. Animals have sharper senses than humans and their psychic abilities are much more finely tuned. I have been on many showings where the owner's beloved pet was in his crate barking his lungs out when we came in to look at the house. That's normal for a dog. Not so much for a cat. Could it be a sign that something else is going on?
Many times on showings you may be unsettled by a shadow that you catch out of the corner of your eye. You might also be startled when you glance in the bathroom mirror and see someone lurking behind you. Then, with great relief, you realize it is your realtor. And behind him is Josiah. But that doesn't scare you, because even though your realtor is pretty scary looking too, you have him between you and the unknown...
Happy Halloween!

Small market fan... always hoping, but never expecting.
Doubt anyone knows at this stage of the talks but I did see a couple interesting names mentioned while reading the Cleveland board. They seem to think Clement is too expensive for the Reds and Westbrook would be better suited to our ballpark. They could get Clement if they wanted him but the talk on the street is they will offer Weaver the same one year deal they had with Millwood after they trade Westbrook. So if true, it would seem they would be eager to deal Westbrook to the Reds. Two prospects mentioned on the Tribe's board are Dittler and Snyder. Both are in AA. Jake Dittler is a right handed pitcher and has decent numbers, probably be ready in 07. Brad Snyder is a lefthanded hitting center fielder. A power hitter with some speed. He too could be ready in 07 IMHO. The fans of both the Sox and the Tribe really want this trade. The Reds are lucky to be involved. I'm leaning towards the Westbrook + prospect deal, that contract of Clement scares me.Originally Posted by shredda2000
"The two most important things in life are good friends and a strong bullpen."
Bob Lemon
A couple of observations from someone who saw Clement pitch quite a bit in 2005:
Much has been made of his 1st half/ 2nd half splits. The numbers are somewhat deceiving as well. I can tell you that Clement had some stretches when he looked great in the 2nd half, then he'd be downright dreadful. This was, in part, due to poor defense and a shaky bullpen. An astounding number of his inherited runners were allowed to score by the bullpen. A fitting example of how Clement's 2nd half went, is one his last starts of the year, he was hammered for 5 or 6 runs in one inning, then was lights out the rest of the way. It was a strange year for him to say the least.
I can tell you that I see Clement as a #1/#2 starter if he does end up in Cincy. He has done very well limiting the longball (at the expense of his K-rate), and displayed very good stuff overall. A change back to the NL, and with a better defense behind him, he could very well be a 3.50 ERA guy, with a 150-50 K/BB.
Obviously, I'm not as down on Clement as some Sox fans, or Sox brass for that matter. I can tell you he has been shopped as a way of obtaining a CF, and the Sox are very high on Crisp coming to Boston. This 3 way deal is getting quite a bit of buzz here, it will be interesting to see what happens in the next day or two.

IMO, Clement's a better bet than Contreras. Clement's pitched well for years. Contreras has had one hot half season.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
I saw Clement a lot last year and I'd love to see him in a Reds uniform. Obviously you want to make sure he's not carrying any significant physcial damage, but barring that I want him.

Im with ya M2....
Nothing to see here. Please disperse.
You may be right about that, but my major issue with this trade isn't so much that Kearns could break out this year (though I'm cautiously optimistic about it), it's that it would tie up another $9-10 million or so in one guy who is, in my mind, a huge question mark. The Reds simply cannot afford to make another $10 million mistake, and there's enough in Clement's history to make me think that there is a strong possibility he could become one.Originally Posted by M2
Now Kearns is a huge question mark as well, but he's a cheap one that there is very little downside to keeping. It's likely that the only type of pitcher Kearns can land you right now is someone in the Matt Clement-Jose Contreras-Carl Pavano category, meaning an underachieving, overpaid guy who cashed in on one good year. If that's the market, then I say stand pat and wait to see what kind of a first half Kearns has. His value can't get any lower than it is right now as far as I can tell, so there's little downside to holding on to him for the time being. If after the first half of the season he's played reguarly and is struggling, then I'm fine with taking the best offer out there. I'm confident enough in his actual ability and the perception that other clubs have of his ability that there will be a market for him at any point in the next year that is comparable to what it is now. I suppose that is something of a risk seeing as how he could implode completely, but it's a $1.25 million risk, way better for this club than a $10 million one that Clement presents.

"It's still a long way to the top if we want to rock'n'roll, but at least they dumped the tuba player."
Really, just a half a year? I thought he was pretty darn good all year. As opposed to Clement who was pretty decent, but who stopped fooling batters altogether by the second half. Plus--Contreras' deal is cheaper and only one year. Clement's is two years, more expensive--plus, the guy kind of spits the bit during knuckle-down time, IIRC.Originally Posted by M2
Kearns, Milton, Merker and a prospect for Clement and Arroyo or Lester. The BoSox wouldn't do it, but I would.
Actually I went back and looked at it and it turns out that it was in fact 2/3 of a good year. I remembered that in July Contreras was nothing to write home about and then he got crazy hot to close out the season. As it turns out, he had a solid April-May and a bad June-July, then he caught fire.Originally Posted by Falls City Beer
Contreras isn't cheaper. He's a lot older. Plus I don't care if it's a one-year deal he's on because I'd prefer a better pitcher thank you.
Raisel Ghul, the Demon's Head
Make that a thing.
I think his value can get lower. Eventually this 'potential' effect is going to wear off. I think if Kearns dissapoints again this year he will be worth absolutely nothing. I am honestly suprised some of the names being mentioned in exchange for him. Now on the other hand if he goes out and explodes this year, we still lose games 10-6. I think we can afford to lose some offense, especially if it means adding some good pitching.Originally Posted by Sabo Fan

I think this has been the book on Matt Clement for years. He's either a no-hitter away from happening or he's a wild pitch away from happening. You never know what you're going to get from start to start.Originally Posted by Fenway
But I still think it's worth taking a shot on. I'd rather take a flyer on Clement than Pavano, even if it meant dumping Milton.
"Strickland Propane... Taste the meat, not the heat." - Hank Hill
Contreras posted a 5.50 ERA in 2004, but now he's "guaranteed performance?"I'm saying, if you're going to go risky, get guaranteed performance in return (Contreras, Zito).
Why would you give up Kearns for only one year of a mediocre veteran?Plus--Contreras' deal is cheaper and only one year. Clement's is two years, more expensive

Kearns and Milton (I repeat, Milton) for Pavano?
Sign me up! Pavano is a great pitcher for a small market - not sure he has the temperment for the NY market, so get him to Cincy and I think he reverts to 2004 form.

Clement and Pavano are an interesting comparison. Pavano may be a better pitcher, but he's also had a healthy season only 3 times out of his 7 in the league. Pavano has spent more time on the DL in 4 of his 7 seasons than Clement has in his entire 7 year career. Although both have 3-200+ IP seasons, Clement hasn't been under 169 IP in any of his others, while Pavano has had 3 seasons of 100 IP or fewer. I don't really think it's about the small market temperament, I think it's either about real physical damage or an inability to suck it up and pitch when something's a little ouchy.Originally Posted by Puffy

I doubt he's sparred 200 rounds with 5 weeks to go before the fight, but its good to here that hes training really hard with some good sparring parters. I dont think Donaire's ever fought a fighter that was taller with a longer reach.

Horrible check in
June 24, 2015
The female that we tried to check in with was very confrontational. Also, we did find that the brown pillow on the bed was not clean. The beds that we were given was very small for my husband and I and two year old. However, the pool was nice and the older man in the morning that were there was very nice and pleasant.
Good service
June 22, 2015
The staff was friendly and attentive. Everything that we could possibly need was in the room and more. The beds and pillows were comfortable and the rooms were very clean. The kitchen area was ample and I hope to make plans to use it more on my next stay.
As good or better than expected
June 18, 2015
If you're self-sufficient at wake up time (not needing or wanting the "free" breakfasts offered elsewhere), and enjoy stocking your own food selections for essentials or snacks, and don't want others cooking you food - this is the place. Besides the large clean room, bath and other amenities, and free internet - all perfect, this location is as close to everything in Macon you could want to get to. One night the short walk back and forth to Carrabas was just the thing for my appetite and the recovery. Great staff, easy in and out. It may not look as fancy on the outside as some others, but the value on the inside is great! Candlewood will be my next first choice wherever I'm going and when I come back.
I won't stay here again
June 15, 2015
Stayed here over a weekend with my wife and daughter because I travel for work and this was an easy place to meet. I immediatley noticed the messy carpets in the west stairwell. The hotel was old and well worn but it was clean. The room was neat but again it appeared outdated and at the end of its life. The blankets and pillows provided were inadequate and I had to ask for more from the front desk. The mattress was uncomfortable and you could hear the spring as it moved. The gym has broken equipment with a sign saying it has been broken for over a month. The cherry on top was the front lobby on Friday at 9PM filled with 4 drunk males openly drinking alcohal and being loud. I will never stay here again. PS the cupboard had a poor snack selection. I dont consider it a privilege or amenity to eat Ramon Noodle I can get that at a Gas Station down the street
