That's one might expensive Web site! It's estimated that the Healthcare. Gove Web site, intended to facilitate health care reform, or "Obamacare," has cost U.S. Taxpayers about $1.7 BILLION dollars. That's not even the half of it, as the U.S. government is already under obligation for another $300 million for another outlay!

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Initiating sixty contracts to construct the highly fallible Web site - it was notoriously unstable in the first few days of its implementation, according to a report issued today by the inspector general (OIG) of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the government had already paid out just under half a billion dollars by February 2014 -- five months after the beginning of open enrollment.
The 60 contracts related to the development and operation of the Federal Marketplace started between January 2009 and January 2014. The contracts ranged from health benefit data collection and consumer research, to cloud computing and Web site development.
Help fight the persecution of Iraqi Christians by going here --
The original estimated values of these contracts totaled $1.7 billion; the contract values ranged from $69,195 to over $200 million. Across the 60 contracts, nearly $800 million has been obligated for the development of the Federal Marketplace as of February 2014. As of that date, CMS had paid nearly $500 million for the development of the Federal Marketplace to the contractors awarded these contracts.
Among many other friendly faces found on the list of contracts are Northrop Grumman and Lockheed Martin. Also appearing are CGI Federal - still blamed for the botched roll out of the site last October. In the meantime, Accenture Federal Services has taken over for CGI in hopes that this year's open enrollment will go better than 2013.
The inspector general presented the report on the contracts largely with commentary, instead noting that "[i]n the coming months, OIG will be issuing additional, in-depth audits and evaluations that look more closely at contracting for the Federal Marketplace and will include, when appropriate, recommendations to resolve vulnerabilities we identify and/or build on promising approaches."

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Colonial Coal International Corp. (TSX VENTURE:CAD) (the "Company" or "Colonial Coal") -
David Austin, Colonial Coal's President and CEO, is pleased to report that, based upon a review of various data from in and around Colonial Coal's Flatbed project area (located south of Tumbler Ridge, B.C.), Colonial Coal's geological consultant has now identified three target areas for initial exploration. The data reviewed included:
-- a regional Geological Compilation Map of the Peace River region; -- records of oil and gas well drilling in and around the Flatbed application area; -- records of past coal exploration in the region; and -- results from reconnaissance exploration completed by Colonial Coal to date.
As a result of this new information the Company, in consultation with its consultant, has concluded that there are three areas worthy of future exploration aimed at the location of underground mineable metallurgical coal deposits for seams targeted at depths between 200 metres and 600 metres. These areas are located in the northwest and along the northeastern and southwestern sides of the Company's application area.
Mineral Titles BC has recently informed the Company that the all of its Flatbed coal license applications (plus the two older coal license applications for the Company's Huguenot property) form part of a "bundle" of coal license applications currently being processed by the British Columbia Ministry of Energy Mines and Natural Gas ("MEMNG"). Once the Company acquires tenure and all exploration permits have been approved by the Provincial Government, the Company intends to conduct a drilling program to test each of the target areas identified above.
On December 12, 2012, MEMNG announced that it had established a number of coal land reserves in an effort to protect high elevation caribou habitat across the South Peace region to support the recovery of Northern Caribou. Land covered by these reserve areas is no longer available for the acquisition of new coal, mineral or placer tenures. None of the areas covered by the Company's coal license applications (both at Flatbed and Huguenot) are included in these coal land reserves.
This press release has been reviewed by John Perry, a director of the Company and a Qualified Person as defined in National Instrument 43-101.

I never find most anime comedy funny because it's an entirely different culture. Even if I do somewhat understand the basis of their culture, the comedy in anime is always retarded fart jokes or slapstick humor, so I'm not sure the Japanese have a sense or irony, sarcasm, or being facetious. Those are generally the comedy that gets me to laugh, that and dry British wit humor, which again is severely lacking in anime. Also, comedy is different from tragedy as that it usually has the ability to only really funny locally in a geographical and in the sense of time. You won't laugh at Greek comedies because you won't understand their humor anymore, and Shakespearean humor usually goes way too far above peoples' heads. Yes, I can laugh at Japanese/anime comedy, but it entirely depends on the situation. The slapstick in 2x2 Shinobuden is hilarious, as is the dialogue, meanwhile shows like Lucky Star can only make me somewhat crack a smile, but never laugh. I stick to western comedy for the sake of laughing.
Also, about the Adult Swim thing, I entirely agree with you. It's all too easy to rage when someone rags on what you like. But despite their own sense of humor about the sitatuon, they are harming potential anime profits by not airing as much as they could. Thinking logistically, anime that airs on TV should have a better chance to sell DVDs better, and especially if the airing time slot is reasonable. Code Geass airing at 1:30 AM EST? That might be a little too late for a lot of people, while if they were doing a Toonami weekday type of thing, with interesting shows playing in the mid to late afternoon, those shows would have maximum exposure. I miss those days, but not because I was 11 or 12 when Tenchi aired on TV, but because tons of stuff was available at a time I usually didn't have anything else to do with. Naruto and Bleach should have been placed there, they're barely more violent or adult themed than DBZ or Gundam Wing.

I think it was an April Fool's thing they did a few years back. I only remember because Witch Hunter Robin actually looked entertaining with funny sharpie mustaches or glasses placed randomly.

One of the things Greg Ayres will mention is just how much Adult Swim hates anime.
When a few of the english voice actors for a certain series (himself included) were brought on a tour of Adult Swim offices, they were given T-Shirts which all said "Anime is Teh Suck".
Yes, they gave those shirts to people who work in the anime industry. As far as I'm concerned, I will never watch anime on Adult Swim. Ever.

|I don't have enough to say about the Answerfans question to write in about it, so I'll just dump what I think here. I generally don't watch American comedies because I usually find them too sick to bear. It probably depends on the specific show, though, as there are some anime jokes that I find sick as well.

To the flake:
It's a conspiracy. Watch "Welcome to NHK" for a little primer.
QOTW - The short answer:
Azumanga Diaoh is much funnier than Friends, Will and Grace, Family Guy, that one show about perpetually neurotic single people in their 30s and 40s, and Ethnic Mismatch Comedy #644 combined.
On the other hand, I've yet to see anything in anime match up to MASH, Carol Burnett, MST3k, or Rocky and Bullwinkle.

Just out of curiosity, how does [as] determine its ratings? Is it only households who've agreed to be part of the Nielsen system?
LOL I remember the April Fool's Day thing. It took me a minute before I realized it wasn't something wrong with my TV. Although they still haven't beat South Park's original April Fool's Day prank. I'm not surprised that comedy does better than anime.
As for anime comedy, I can't really get into it. Shows that poke fun at other anime or recognizable pop culture references will sometimes get a laugh from me, but stuff like Azumanga Daioh, I can't get into. I like American sitcoms better and even animated comedies like Family Guy, Futurama, Home Movies (though lately I really don't like a lot of Adult Swim's new originals (Tim and Eric, Saul, etc.)

I always enjoyed Adult Swim's digs at anime fans. They're fun and clever, and obviously aimed at the silent majority of fandom who don't take this stuff so seriously.
I remember back when they first started having text bumps, they accidentally referred to Trigun as "he" in one of them. It was soon fixed, but not before the boards were flooded with a tsunami of angry fans complaining about how Trigun is not the main character's name.
AS responded by doing a whole series of bumps with lines like "CAN TRIGUN ESCAPE? WILL HIS MARKSMANSHIP BE ENOUGH?"
Anyway, I'm not too worried about AS taking anime off weeknights. I'll be back soon enough; they change their schedule almost constantly, and they're obviously not giving up on anime completly, what with Code Geass coming soon. What they really seem to be looking for is a long, popular series they can repeat on weeknights, like Inuyasha was before everyone got sick of it. That series will probably be Bleach once it racks up enough English episodes.

That was the best night ever when they pranked the anime shows. It was funny as hell.
As i've said before, its not called Anime Swim. They can change their scdechule.
Everytime AS makes fun of the crazy raving anime fans I just roll my eyes.
As for the people who upload the newsest Naruto episode 20 times. They, in my opinion, get some warped type of respect. For those who don't download, streaming is the next best thing. Those uploaders didn't make the subs, but they did help those people out.
Since the shows get removed every few hours, you can't find it unless it gets re-uploaded. So, people still respect them for...shall I say for a lack of a better series of terms; breaking the rules.
Anime Comedy and American Comedy are two different things. It's like comparing Eddie Izzard to George Carlin.
They're both different types of humor. Unless, you've got a dub like Shin Chan which makes the show appeal to American audiences.
Oh well, as long as I laugh at the end of the day i'm fine.

That kinda went out the window this week eh? Especially on number 2.
I have to say, I'm surprised that there wasn't a single person who said they were not interested in Japanese culture.
Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against Japanese culture. In fact, there are aspects of it that I seem interesting. The same is true of any culture though. Overall, I don't think that it would be Japanese Culture that I'd choose if I was to learn more about another culture.
I get tired of hearing this. If you like Japanese Culture, good for you. Don't act like you're better than those that don't though.

Easy, chicken. I don't think the writer meant that they were in any way superior by having an interest in the culture. But I can see how having some background information on Japanese culture would aid one's understanding of certain aspects of (at least some) anime.

And is 5 years really that "old" in anime terms? To me, series from 2003 like Chrono Crusade and DN Angel don't seem "dated," as you can still find shows on the air today that have the same digital look and feeling.
I was secretly hoping to see an Answerfans answer saying, "No, I don't really care about the culture, I'm just here for the cartoons." I don't dislike Japanese culture by any means; it's interesting enough, and it's got that exotic/difference factor going for it compared to Western culture. But I try to stay out of the blind Japanophilia trap that so many seem to fall into. Learning about the Japanese cultural artifacts that show up in anime is fine, but it's more important to learn about the real culture as it exists outside of anime. I'll take my fond memories of relatively easy American high school life over "Exam Hell" any day.

...I take it you don't know much about the general Adult Swim culture, then. The line "anime is teh s uck" originated very early on in the history of the [as] message board, and it grew to become a rather pervasive meme over there that lives to this day. The person who spawned it was a random n00b spouting off the same type of generic hatred that's spewed all over the Internet every day, and it's never been taken to represent anything beyond that. If Greg Ayres actually took that gesture as a personal insult, I feel rather sorry for him (and more than a bit amused).
Crap...now I'm sorry that I never did get around to submitting a response to last week's question, since I might have had a shot at being the only flat-out negative response. Like I said in last week's thread, the things that initially attracted me to anime, and keep me hooked to this day, were its use of storytelling and character development in an animated medium. The only "foreign" element that drew me in was the idea that animation didn't have to be targeted at children and could be used to construct something emotional and mature. I don't really have anything invested in where the shows are coming from, or in any culturally-specific elements within them; I just like them for what they are. I don't want to learn Japanese, I have no real desire to ever visit Japan, and little irritates me more than those who insert random Japanese words into their sentences in the interest of feeling "more Japanese." I am a person who happens to be a fan of anime; I am not an "otaku." That is all.
As for the new question, seeing as how I've seen only two or three anime series that are true "comedies," I can't make any sort of valid comparison, although I suspect I'd come down squarely on the side of American comedy as a whole. (However, if you're talking about comedic moments in series that aren't strictly comedies, I've laughed myself silly through many an anime episode, particularly in the case of One Piece.) I will say, though, that whatever mixture of Japanese and American comedy that Funi's Shin-chan dub represents, it does just about everything right.

It's definitely a mistake to assume that the reason why there isn't a better representation of anime on Adult Swim is because the folk at AS simply hate it. Sure, Kim Manning and Mike Lazzo haven't done too many favors for the anime fandom in the U.S., but that AS even airs any anime, considering the usual demographic's preference for "comedies" made on a nine-cent budget that get huge ratings (because said demographic is self-medicating), I would say it's a miracle that there's any anime on it at all anymore. Don't assume that AS watchers have the same taste you do.
They prefer Tim and Eric projects.
I'm sorry, I'm getting a little vomit in my mouth reading what I just typed.

Second MRI review shows Marcus Camby with meniscus tear, surgery next
Jan 19, 2011, 12:27 AM EDT
When the official report came back on Marcus Camby's MRI saying it was clean, we told you that the Blazers were wary and wanted their own team doctor to take a look at the films.
Turns out, with good reason.
A second review revealed partial medial meniscus tear in Camby's left knee, and he will have surgery later this week the team announced.
"The MRI taken earlier today did not show anything significant," said Blazers GM Rich Cho in a released statement. "However, a more thorough review tonight from our team physician did reveal a partial tear."
The timetable for his return will be set after the surgery.
This will hurt the Blazers on the court, Camby is an anchor on defense and gives them 11 rebounds and nearly two blocked shots per game. In Camby's place Nate McMillan said we may see Joel Przybilla, who had knee surgery last March after falling in the shower during his rehab from another knee surgery in December 2009.
Camby also was a valuable trade asset for the Blazers, if they decided to go that route, but his value has now dropped.
Camby joins a lengthy list of injured Blazers this season that includes Greg Oden and Brandon Roy, the latter of which just had surgery on both knees Monday. The basketball gods have been particularly cruel to the Blazers.
- baboushka - Jan 19, 2011 at 1:15 PM
How many players with wrecked knees, legs and cartilage will it take for before the Trailblazers wake up and realize that they are playing on a bad and flawed basketball floor. Something is terribly wrong in that building for this to keep happening. One time is a freak accident. 5-10 times is a serious problem. From Bill Walton-Maurice Lucas-Sam Bowie-Benoit Bengamin-Kevin Ducksworth-Clyde Drexler-Greg Oden-Pryzbilla-Brandon Roy-Marcus Camby. This is alarming! and it needs to be investigated by Blazer management and the NBA. There were other players of less consequence also affected. There are 2 common denominators here. They all had severe leg injuries and they all played regularly on the same surface. Drexler claimed that his legs wearing out in Portland was a contributing factor in his desire to return to Texas at the end of his career.
I obviously can't prove my theory. But it is this. I believe that floor is not uniformly level from one end to the next. So players jum a certain way, always expecting to land a certain way. But the smallest of errors in their perceived distance (from top to bottom) causes them to land with more or less force. Multiply this effect over time and add in perhaps some preexisting physical conditions, and you could have a toxic brew. Someone needs to do a complete surface analysis of the Trailblazers floor. Or i believe this will continue to occur there.

The American decision to rely more heavily on contractors and to downplay the use of uniformed military in Afghanistan has led to a sharp detour in the process of nation-building, a Senate Armed Services Committee report (PDF) has concluded. To meet their security concerns, the contractors have turned to "warlords and strongmen linked to murder, kidnapping [and] bribery." The report also documents incidents in which contractors have tendered payments to the Taliban.
In her summary of the report for the Washington Post, Karen DeYoung presents an almost surreal case study:
ArmorGroup, according to the report, subcontracted the task to two men identified in company documents as local "warlords," whom it nicknamed "Mr. White" and "Mr. Pink" after characters in the 1992 Quentin Tarantino movie "Reservoir Dogs," about hapless criminals who turn on each other after a jewelry heist. At least one of the two was recommended to ArmorGroup by military personnel at a U.S. forward operating base adjacent to the air base, the report said.
In July 2007, Mr. White was ambushed and shot just outside the air base, leading guards loyal to him to leave their posts and seek revenge against Pink forces they believed responsible. White survived but was killed by Pink in a firefight in the local bazaar that December. Pink was reportedly "holed up with the Taliban" after the shooting, the report said.
Despite his reported Taliban links, ArmorGroup continued to employ Pink, identified in U.S. military documents as a "mid-level Taliban manager," until the contractor received reports that guards under Pink's command were providing him with military security information." Meanwhile, the contractor replaced White with his brother, identified as Mr. White II.
The report focuses on the failure of management by the Defense Department. "Our reliance on private security contractors in Afghanistan has too often empowered local warlords and powerbrokers who operate outside the Afghan government's control and act against coalition interests," said Committee Chair Carl Levin (D., Mich.), echoing the report's major conclusions. "This situation threatens the security of our troops and puts the success of our mission at risk." Indeed, it reveals what those on the ground have long observed: private security contractors often work at cross purposes with U.S. counterinsurgency policy.

Abortion major issue in 1988 election
By Editorial Staff
Published December 1, 1988
Although the 1988 presidential campaign focused on a variety of issues – from the Pledge of Allegiance to prison furlough programs – the abortion issue was cited as the major issue of the election by nearly a third of voters interviewed by ABC News, according to USA Today (November 9, 1988). Voters also called into the APEX Campaign Hotline about abortion more then any other issue.
The APEX Campaign Hotline featured a phone recording on 12 issues that voters could review. Of the 3,500 Americans who used the line, the majority were curious about the candidates' stand on abortion.
Over 2,000 pro-life "rescuers" have been arrested since the beginning of the year, and the rescue movement has been cited as pivotal in directing the nation's attention towards the abortion issue. Throughout the month of October, while many voters were making their final decisions about their ballot choices, evening news broadcasts featured coverage of several pro-life rescue movements in major U.S. cities.

Go Stand Speak (DVD)
With "preaching to the lost" being such a basic foundation of Christianity, why do many in the church seem to be apathetic on this issue of preaching in highways and byways of towns and cities?
Is it biblical to stand in the public places of the world and proclaim the gospel, regardless if people want to hear it or not?
Does the Bible really call church pastors, leaders and evangelists to proclaim the gospel in the public square as part of obedience to the Great Commission, or is public preaching something that is outdated and not applicable for our day and age?
These any many other questions are answered in this documentary.

The United States of America 2.0: The Great Reset (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 40 pages of dynamite!
Revival, Resistance, Reformation, Revolution
An Introduction to the Doctrines of Interposition and Nullification
In 1776, a short time after the Declaration of Independence was adopted, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin were assigned to design an official seal for the United States of America. Their proposed motto was Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God. America owes its existence to centuries of Christian political philosophy. Our nation provided a model for liberty copied by nations the world over.
By the 21st century, we need a "Puritan Storm" to sweep away the Hegelian notion that the state is "God walking on earth." We need revival and reformation in full force to vanquish the problems that plague us as a nation — from government controlled healthcare — to abortion on demand — to same sex "marriage." This booklet gives a primer on our founders' Christian idea of government and examines how the doctrine of nullification was woven into the Constitution as a safeguard against federal tyranny. It concludes with the history and theology of civil resistance. A Second American Revolution is coming with the Word of God growing mightily and prevailing! (Acts 19:20).

Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism (DVD)
Download the Free Study Guide!
Just what is Calvinism?
Does this teaching make man a deterministic robot and God the author of sin? What about free will? If the church accepts Calvinism, won't evangelism be stifled, perhaps even extinguished? How can we balance God's sovereignty and man's responsibility? What are the differences between historic Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism? Why did men like Augustine, Luther, Calvin, Spurgeon, Whitefield, Edwards and a host of renowned Protestant evangelists embrace the teaching of predestination and election and deny free will theology?
This is the first video documentary that answers these and other related questions. Hosted by Eric Holmberg, this fascinating three-part, four-hour presentation is detailed enough so as to not gloss over the controversy. At the same time, it is broken up into ten "Sunday-school-sized" sections to make the rich content manageable and accessible for the average viewer.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
Who is to blame for the rise of ISIL?
25 Sep 2011 07:45 GMT | US & Canada, United States
About 80 people have been arrested as demonstrators who were camped out near the New York Stock Exchange marched through lower Manhattan, police said.
Saturday's protests were part of a week-long demonstration on and near Wall Street which has been organised against a range of government-related actions that activists say are irresponsible, such as bank bailouts, the mortgage crisis and the US state of Georgia's execution of Troy Davis.
Live Box 201110415333680466
The New York police took precautionary measures with metal barricades and swarms of police officers in front of the New York Stock Exchange, and the closest protesters could get to was Liberty Street, about three blocks away.
A video on posted on Youtubeappears to show officers using mace on protesters who already were cordoned off by police. Another shows officers handcuffing a man after pulling him up off the ground, blood trickling down his face.
Police say the arrests were mostly for blocking traffic. Charges include disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
But one demonstrator was charged with assaulting a police officer, who police say suffered a shoulder injury.
Organisers of the protests have united under the banner 'Occupy Wall Street', and have taken over Manhatten's Zucatti Park, not far from Wall Street, for 8 days and nights.
Patrick Bruner, a protest spokesperson, told the AP news agency the police response was "exceedingly violent" and said the protesters had stayed peaceful.
On Thursday, a protest in support of Troy Davis, who was executed in Georgia the night before, converged with the demonstration in Zucatti Park, and activists said that at least six protesters were arrested.
New York police spokespeople were not available for comment.
