Recipe by SUNNYBC
"Potatoes are coated in a spicy mixture of corn flour and Cajun seasoning then deep fried until crispy. Very simple and really crunchy. I like mine extra spicy so I soak my cut potatoes in hot sauce for a few seconds before shaking them in the dry batter."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

2 pounds
russet potatoes, cut into fries
1 cup
corn flour
2 tablespoons
2 tablespoons
Cajun seasoning
1 quart
oil for deep frying
salt to taste
Excellent recipe - I tried to cut down on the oil and dipped pototoes in oil instead, coated them and roasted in oven. Turned out good also
This was okay. I didn't care for the cornmeal on the fries.

I couldn't find corn flour so I used all corn meal, they were fine.
I was specifically looking for a spicy recipe, and I came across this one and had to try it. I followed the recipe exactly, but also used a couple of tablespoons of GROUND FRESH CHILI PASTE (in a jar in the asian food section)to coat the potatoes before putting them in the corn flour mixture. Then I deep fried them in PEANUT OIL until browned. My only problem was I couldn't get them really crispy. They were brown but not crispy. Not sure what the problem was. Anyway, I still loved this recipe and can't wait to make it for the family too.
i omitted some spice as to not to get too hot. these fries came out just right for me. i wouldn't change a thing!
These fries had a good taste but was not crispy
These were wonderful and very easy to make, my picky kids loved them!

That is probably because they prefer to create everything inhouse.
But i want to list a few possible companies that if apple were to buy, would reatly help it out.
Apple would be able to afford it (through debt) to purchase this company. It will get control over a wealth of assets. Photoshop, Macromedia Studio, etc. And a bunch of standards, PDF, Flash, Shockwave.
With Bill Gates stepping down from Microsoft, Apple will lose its biggest advocate in the company. Bill Gates is by far the biggest Mac fan, he was the proponent in starting the Mac Business Unit. The only reason MSFT will not stop support for the Mac now is because they are making a lot of $. But like they stopped IE (because of Safari) and they stopped OE (because of Mail). With iWork being #2 in the Office Suite market share (thats including Windows and Mac) and Apple obvioulsy going to be adding more functiantlity to it, Microsoft might eventually stop support for the Mac. But it will be different, because their file formats are closed, and support for it will be more difficult (.docx, XPS, etc) So if apple has some leverage over Microsoft, it might be wise.
Sun Microsystems
Sun tried to buy Apple a few times. But now that their fortunes were reversed, i think it would be wise for Apple to buy Sun. First off they have the same business model, give away the software to sell the hardware. But Apple could use Sun for a lot of things. They can take Solaris technology, and add it to Mac OS X (like ZFS), and they can slowly kill Darwin, and make Soloris the Open Source Mac OS X, but stripped down. It will be OS X testing arena. They can also greatly expand their server lineup. They will have Intel/AMD and have control over SPARC chips.
Last and most important, there is Java. By far the most important thing Sun has to offer. Java is already a big piece of Mac OS X, imagine Apple controlling it. They will completly overhaul it (better design) and find a way to monetize it. Maybe even build a client for the iPod.
Avid Technology
Very easy purchase, it will largley expand Apple's media creation software.
With Avid/Adobe, Apple will have THE creative platform, that no one can rival.
With these 3 purchases Apple will gain a great wealth of assets, people, communities, help. And most importantly standards like PDF, Flash, Shockwave, Java. Makeing it a superpower in the computer industry, not just a darling. It will solidify its survival. Even if they stopped making iPods tomorrow, they will be fine, if they owned these companies.
VLC & RealMedia
If they can get VLC to help make Quicktime better, and if they buy Real just for their codecs (which, beleive it or not, are used ALOT) and intergrate it into Quicktime, they will own Media Players for pros (even more so), and Quicktime is built into iTunes, so they will have the best media player (also, even more so). They will
Other Companies
These seem more unlikley, but you never know. Palm and RIM are expected to merge. So if Apple can grab them up. They will quicky be the leader in the smartphone industry. And quickly rebrand them as iPods.
Apple's goal is to create an ecosystem, not a platform. Hardware, Software, Mobile, Cell Service, etc.
Apple should also think about expanding .Mac furthur. It can be the killer app for getting a Mac.
First off for $99 a year, i think Apple can give everyone their own Domain Name, not hompage.mac.com/whatever.
First off, they should add a Microsoft OneCare like service. Complete securty and maintenance (backup, disk defrag, etc) so you dont have to need any other utility software.
Another thing they despreatly need is with iSync, to sync all their PIM apps (mail, ical, ichat, addressbook, stickies, etc) across Macs, Mobile, and Web. And the .Mac PIM viewer should be overhauled with Ajax. And being a premium service, no ADS!
More so, they should look into buying Bubbleshare or somthing to make an online iLife viewer. So you can view all your Photos, listen to all your music, watch all your videos, etc all streamed from your computer and allow for posting on differnt websites (flickr, youtube, etc). more so, they should make mac.com to be a social network. for people to share all their media, blogs, podcasts, iTunes interests, etc.
.Mac is a bigger asset than Apple thinks.
Lastly, Oracle. Larry Ellison is on the board of directors of Apple. Now why is their no support for 10g Database, or their business applications, etc. I think if Jobs and Ellison can strike a deal with them for their software and middleware, that will be HUGE for Apple's server sales.

- IE and OE were free, Office makes MS alot of money. Even if, and that's a big IF, iWork matured to a point to truly rival Office, as long as MS is making money on Office, they will continue. There was no point to continue developing IE and OE since they were free. Office will be around, because businesses and schools will always choose Office over iWork just for the sake of compatibility.
- The Office file types are mostly open and becoming more so all the time. MS has a vested interest in making them a standard and to do so it requires the specs to be open. So iWork becoming a true competitor has less to do with file format compatibility and more to do with iWork, especially Pages, just being a stop-gap, poorly constructed replacement for Apple Works. If Apple truly wanted an Office killer they would do a better job than they have.

While NeoOffice or whatever it's called is an OS X port, I also suggest it won't be very popular either considering it's ugly as sin (same applies for OpenOffice) and Mac users tend not to like ugly software and it has such a loooooong time between development cycles.

Watching the Romney campaign fumble around as it tried to respond to the Bain attacks was initially pretty alarming. The Democrats and the progressive-left have obviously been gearing up for months to launch this attack line as soon as Romney secures the nomination: the administration's class warfare rhetoric, the sudden focus on "income inequality" and even the Occupy Wall Street movement will all play a role in trying to take down Romney.
But once the attacks started coming from Gingrich, it became painfully apparent that Romney hasn't laid nearly as much groundwork as the Democrats. Probably because he didn't expect to be confronted on this issue until after the primaries. According to his campaign, he's just starting to catch up:
The change comes following three days of stumbling responses from Romney and campaign aides, who admit they were caught unprepared for the explosion of Bain as the dominant topic of the Republican race — "out of nowhere," one adviser said. And it comes as Romney is aiming to turn his polling lead into a primary win — an early-state hat trick they hope will quickly establish him as the presumptive GOP nominee. …
They'll start with advertisements featuring employees of companies started and rescued by Bain telling their stories — a direct response to the documentary released by the pro-Newt Gingrich super PAC that features employees of four companies closed by Bain that brutally slams Romney as a job killer. That documentary is set to be parceled out into shorter commercials that will air in South Carolina with a $3.4 million ad buy.
Some pundits have noted that Gingrich's attacks might actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise for Romney. It gives him an opportunity to see which counterattacks work, and which ones don't. More importantly, the media will probably give more credence to any factual challenges of the Bain video now than they would during the general election. The media may be in the tank for Obama, but there's certainly no love lost between the press and Gingrich. While the New York Times may have accepted this video at face value if it was put out by a pro-Obama Super PAC, they'll gladly turn into "Truth Vigilantes" now that it was released by a pro-Gingrich group.
The media is Romney's best friend in this controversy, as long as he's able to quickly come up with an effective counterattack. The more it's talked about, the sooner it becomes old news. And the older the news gets, the less voters will care about it during the general election. If Romney is able to blunt this Bain Capital charge during the primaries, he'll take away the centerpiece of Obama's reelection strategy.

The Tap's New Restaurant Features a Multitude of Taps in St. Charles
In March, the Tap (3803 Elm Street; 636-724-4242) opened in St. Charles, featuring a multitude of taps -- we're not just talking beer, here. Of the 33 beer taps available at the bar, the Budweiser Chill-Rite dispenses the coldest and creamiest brew possible, says proprietor Jerry Berhorst, explaining that a scientifically designed special etching in the bottom of a corresponding glass helps make it possible. Each beer comes with matching glassware, from boots of beer to steins and logoed chalices.

In addition to beer taps at some of the tables, the Tap keeps the theme going with unique options including six wine taps as well as margaritas and sangrias on tap. On the patio, visitors will find a gigantic keg-shaped wood-and-charcoal smoker, which the restaurant will use to roast whole pigs for special events.

Feeling tapped out? Select from 150 varieties of local and national craft beer by the bottle. The Tap will also eventually offer its own microbrews (pending licensing that's been delayed as a result of the nationwide furlough in 2013).
Budweiser Signature Draught.
The Tap's 6,000-square-foot space offers a boozy oasis in St. Charles, a large room decked out in beer swag, as well as Jack Daniel's and Mizzou tiger decor. To coincide its vast thirst-quenching selection, the Tap squashes hunger with a hefty menu of filling food options.
Choose from specialties including house toasted ravioli, an Italian-style "Tapwich," a Hawaiian burger and "Tap Cakes" made with smoked salmon, crab, lobster, mixed greens, peach chutney and Tabasco aioli.
Proprietor Jerry Berhorst behind the bar.
The Tap's current hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to midnight. For the menu and more information, check out the Tap's website and follow it on Facebook.

Jan Crawford Greenburg, author of an invaluable book on the Supreme Court (Supreme Conflict: The Inside Story of the Struggle for Control of the United States) and possibly the best mainstream Supreme Court reporter anywhere, got into Barack Obama's abortion comments. The entire piece is must-reading, but here is the nub:
[T]here's no mistaking that Obama says he no longer will support what's long been a cornerstone of the abortion rights debate: The Court's insistence that laws banning abortions after the fetus is viable (now about 22 weeks) contain an exception to allow doctors to perform them if necessary to protect a pregnant woman's mental health. . . Wow. This has been a central battleground issue in the Supreme Court going back 35 years, to Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton, when the Court ruled a woman had a constitutional right to abortion. The decisions said state's can ban all abortions after the fetus is viable — but that any restrictions must include exceptions to protect a woman's physical and emotional health. In the years since, anti-abortion groups have fought hard against mental health exceptions, arguing that they create giant loopholes that make abortion bans meaningless. Doctors, they argue, can always find a "mental health" exception. But abortion rights groups just as strongly argue the mental health exception is critical to preserving a woman's right to an abortion—and that the woman and her doctor must be allowed to make those decisions about her health without government interference. . . Obama's comments that he does not support mental health exceptions in so-called post-viability abortions (after 22 weeks) is squarely at odds with that holding, which remains the law of the land today. So here are some questions for the Obama campaign: Does Obama still support the Freedom of Choice Act? Would he appoint justices like Ginsburg — or like Thomas, Scalia, etc.? Would he direct his Solicitor General to file a brief supporting state abortion bans that did not include a mental health exception?
Now is it possible that Obama, a self-proclaimed constitutional law expert, had no idea what he was saying when he indicated that he disapproved of the mental health exception? I suppose. Or was he once again betting that no one would call him on a glaring instance of intellectual inconsistency? Ah, that's a workable theory. But if there were ever an issue in which both sides hang on every word and look for winks, nods and body language this is it.
Then comes a "clarification" which is too mind-numbing to summarize. It's only real distress or depression which should be used to justify late term abortions, is I think what he means. Listen, you either are for or against the legal regime of Roe v. Wade. And if you are against a mental health justification (which is reduced to abortion on demand in the real world) you are against Roe. Obama, in an effort to pander to value voters made a hash of this, and I think has now retreated to his embrace of Roe as inviolate. This is lame for a non-lawyer — it's embarrassing for a so-called constitutional law guru.

Start the year rightWritten by Debby Peters | | firstname.lastname@example.com
The Issue: As one year ends and another fresh start is on the horizon, many people resolve to attend more networking events in the New Year. What most don't understand is how to make the best use of the time, so the return on the investment is optimized.
A Solution: If asked, "What is the most important tool to take with you to a networking event?" most people would guess business cards or maybe even small brochures. What is being forgotten is the reason for attending such occasions. It is impossible and also rather tactless to try to sell during these times. Instead, it makes good sense to schedule future appointments with new prospects or referral sources. The most important tool to have in hand is an appointment book or electronic calendar. Having such a device means you won't have to play telephone tag with that new person before you ever meet with them.
The Next Step: It takes a bit of practice and maybe even a few false starts to get into the habit of saying, "Hey, let's get together next week to get to know each other better." In the past, it is likely that good communication has occurred and during this time you've gotten a good feeling about someone. The next and last step has been that you've asked for their business card. You are going to have to push yourself to suggest an appointment.
It is easier to end the conversation and drift away having accomplished a good conversation, but that's about all. This will mean developing a new habit, and it will take a few attempts to feel comfortable performing this task.
Take Away: What you will find is more quality appointments on your calendar. You will also quickly know if someone is not interested in meeting with you, because they will probably not book that initial appointment. While this can be disappointing, it is much less so than having to play months of telephone tag to the person's voice mail without them ever returning the call. You might also find that some other people do not carry their calendar with them. You can start a trend and you can also deliver a message that you have all the tools you need to be a top level professional. (If you carry a paper calendar, be sure you've purchased or ordered the 2006 version.)

The Predators have announced they have re-signed defenseman Jonathon Blum to a one-year, two-way contract worth $650,000 at the NHL level and $105,000 at the AHL level with a guarantee of $300,000 for 2012-13.
Blum was the last of Nashville's restricted free agents who had yet to be signed. He spent 33 games with the Predators last season and was a minus-14 before being sent to Nashville's AHL affiliate in Milwaukee after the new year.
Blum, 23, was Nashville's 2007 first round draft pick. He was an integral part of the Predators' playoff run two seasons ago, taking part in all 12 postseason games as a second-pairing defenseman.
He fell out of favor in 2011-12 and was effectively replaced in the lineup by rookie defensemen Roman Josi and/or Ryan Ellis. Blum spent the summer in Nashville working on his conditioning in preparation for what he hopes will be a bounce-back 2012-13 (if there is a full season).

Men's Parka Jackets
The parka style has long been keeping its wearers warm and cosy, and now it's your turn. Our khaki and black men's parkas have been a huge hit with our customers, so why not get your own and see what the fuss is about!
Men's Parka Jackets
Originally based on traditional Inuit clothing, the men's parka jacket is the ultimate in winter clothing, and also lends itself remarkably well to the UK's notoriously sodden festival season. IL2L's own parka design features a removable faux fur lining, allowing you to stay dry and cool during the day, and then wrap up warm at night when you're sat round the campfire (…or narrowly avoiding falling into it).
We stock a great range of parka jackets and provide detailed product information and a size guide. We want our customers to be completely sure about their purchase before they hand over the cash and, to make their decision that little bit easier, we offer free delivery and free returns… you really can't say fairer than that.
Got a question about one of our men's parka jackets that isn't answered on our website? Feel free to get in touch with the IL2L customer service team via Twitter, Facebook, over the phone or via email.

Chicks with ex bf baggage
Anyone else had this problem?
Im not usually one to highlight my love life online but Id like too hear random peoples opinions who wont sugar coat anything or try and spare emotions because they know me. Anyways Ill tell ya the story you let me know what ya think. Ill keep it as short as possible :)
Met this girl through my mates. They warned me from beginning shes been in a relationship with a dickhead for heaps of years on n off (he cheats on her all the time). Anyways i didn't take her serious at beginning, just another hot girl. Started flirting with her just too see how far i could get. Anyways that flirting turned into full on talking for like 10 hours a day for the next two weeks (As it does).
I asked her too meet up, she kept saying she wasn't ready blah blah. I respected that, told her its better if we stop talking cos we were getting way too close for there not to be interaction. So we stopped, i took her off facebook, deleted her number, was sweet. Then she got back at me texting non stop asking me to come meet her at a club and she was ready. So I did. She came back to mine, but we didnt ****. We continued talking for the next 2 weeks hardcore the exact same way, like ridiculously got on it was freaky. Shed come past, sleep over some time. We never ****ed though.
Then one day she told me "I dont know what uv done to me, my ex bf is sending me flowers, crying to me, saying he wants me back......but i have no interest in going back to him blah blah". I told her from the beginning that I didnt care if she was still talkin to her ex, but to just be honest with me and let me know so I dont get to strung up etc.
Then shit got off after that. We met up at a club with mutual friends one night, she was really stand-ofish. Her phone rang that night and i picked it up ; It was her bf who usually calls from private but this time it was an unblocked number. That was my first inkling. She came over few days later, we agreed to try and take the relationship a little further the following Friday night. Throughout the whole process she was always adamant that she wasn't ready to go full ball, and that it had to be baby steps after been in a relationship for 6 years.
Anyways i was really lookin forward to that Friday, but subconsciously i knew she would cancel. And that's what she did with some excuse about needing "to be with my friend who just broke up with her bf and keep her company". Obviously I didnt believe that story and i told her that. She wasnt happy I didnt beleive her. She said
"Ill call you if i finish early and maybe come past"
and i replied
"Yeah wateva"
. She didnt reply.
Next day I sent her an abusive message saying I know shes gone to see her ex before and that she isnt who i thought she was (Maybe i took it too far). She replied saying im the best guy shes ever met and she "doesn't know what she did to piss me off". I saw her few days later in a club and she messaged me saying "was good to see ya, ive missed ya". I asked her to come over, she ddnt reply.....So i went skits at her again saying shes just using me as a rebound blah blah. She rang me started crying on phone.....And then ended it by saying she needs time to think about things.
I talked to her on and off next few days, and she admitted too going too see her ex after she cancelled on me that Friday night (Because I didnt believe her about her friend). Then few days later she told me she wasnt 100% over her ex and she was really sorry. I said thats cool, maybe I should see other people then too and we stopped talkin for like a week. But she started liking my photos on facebook, all that subtle shit.....So we started chatting and flirting again.
Anyways I asked her if shed slept with him whilst we were talking. She said "Not while we were talking no". And i was like "what does that mean? Does that count the few days we werent talking". She goes "is that really necessary to ask?" and i was like "You pretty much just answered it" and she said "No I didnt". Then i went psycho at her. I wasnt 100% sure if she had or not, but I suspected she did and i wasnt happy it only took her a few days after me saying we shouldnt talk for her to jump back at him.
Anyways weve talked a little bit since, ive apologised for been angry, shes apologised for whats happened. Said she really liked me, but it was too hard etc. Ive stopped talking to her the last week, and shes gone back to her ex.
So what do you guys think? Did she like me? Did she just use me as a rebound/for attention? Is it too much for me to expect her too get over her ex so quickly? Why do girls go back to guys who continuously cheat on them? Is it fair that she slept with him only a few days after ceasing contact with me? Shes only been with two guys in her life. And usually when she breaks up with her ex she goes back to him after a week, I had her for two months. Only guy shes hooked up with besides her ex in the last 6 years etc.
I feel for her cos its probly hard after 6 years. And no doubt her ex came back crying sending flowers saying he cant live without her that he can change etc. And she fell for it. Her ex literally is a ****en redneck hillbilly though so it pisses me off.
What should I do? Lay low and wait for her too get ****ed over again? How do i react when/if she starts talking to me again? Dont worry ill be seing other girls too, im not waiting around. I just know there was something special there.
Anyone got similar stories?

Product description
This volume represents the proceedings of the third in a series of annual inter- national symposia. The first, The Neuroregulation of Autonomic, Endocrine, and Immune Systems, was held in Indianapolis in the fall of 1985. The second, Psychological and Biological Approaches to the Understanding of Human Disease, was held in Bielefeld, Germany in the fall of 1986. The theme of this series concerns the communication between the central nervous system and the other major systems of the body, and the purpose is to monitor the frontiers of research into these neuronal/hormonal regulatory interactions and their application to medicine. The present volume deals with the role of peptides and amino acids in these information transfer processes. Great strides have been made in exploring the important role of amino acids and pep tides in neuroregulation, and the ongoing biotechnology revolution promises signi- ficant scientific and medical advances throughout the next decade and beyond. The work described in this volume captures the great excitement and pro- mise of this biomedical renaissance. This meeting was cosponsored by Searle/ Monsanto and Washington University and held in St. Louis in the early fall of 1986. A major contributor to these proceedings was Dr. Thomas O'Donohue whose chapter deals with his work in characterizing the endogenous ligands for the PCP and sigma opioid receptors. Tom's personality and career personi- fied the dedication of this series to the principle of a broad multidisciplinary approach to scientific problems.

Program was bigger than Covered California. Why was it ignored?
More than 625,000 people have enrolled in Covered California, state officials announced on Tuesday. "Milestone enrollment numbers," blared a press release for the insurance exchange.
No other state comes close.
So it's all the more puzzling that nearly no one fussed over another huge figure: the 680,000-plus residents who signed up for the state's Low Income Health Plan -- perhaps the biggest element of Obamacare that got the smallest share of attention.
"It's frankly been the most underreported story in health reform," Anthony Wright, executive director of Health Access, tells California Healthline.
Wright's argument boils down to this: The LIHP provided immediate relief to some of California's neediest residents, while teeing up broader health reform efforts.
"It jump-started the Medicaid expansion nationally with bigger numbers than projected," Wright says, and it "helped us figure out a better way to do the safety net ... a model for going forward with the remaining uninsured."
And for those in the know, the LIHP's existence also offered context during the exchange's fraught rollout in October and November.
Even as observers were fretting about a shortfall of tens of thousands of sign-ups through Covered California, hundreds of thousands of Californians already were taking advantage of Obamacare's coverage expansion, thanks to the LIHP.
The program was conceived as part of the state's "Bridge to Reform," an initiative made possible with a Section 1115 waiver from CMS in November 2010, and began enrolling eligible California residents in July 2011. (Enrollees essentially had to make too much money to qualify for "traditional" Medicaid, but no more than about 138% of the federal poverty level.) Each county was offered an opportunity to create its own LIHP and some initially demurred, citing concerns about the ACA's legality or their own liability.
Ultimately, about 20 different LIHPs were created; the state transitioned about 630,000 enrollees into Medi-Cal on Jan. 1, when the program expired. (An additional 24,000 enrollees were steered toward Covered California.)
The LIHP wasn't alone in structure or ambition. Six other states made similar moves to expand their Medicaid programs ahead of the formal launch date, although their programs ended up being a fraction of the scope.
Yet despite its size and success, California's LIHP was mostly ignored. Why? Blame the fickle nature of politics.
For most of the LIHP's three-year lifespan, wonks and politicos focused their attention elsewhere -- on Obamacare's legal challenges or which states were saying yes to the Medicaid expansion. When the LIHP did grab headlines in late 2013, they mostly recounted how its glitches were another sign of the troubled Obamacare rollout that had captivated national conversation.
That was a big departure for the program, given that its routine hiccups in 2012 and 2013 weren't fed through the funhouse mirror of national politics and went largely overlooked in California, too. For example, take ViaCare -- Monterey County's LIHP -- which was originally slated to launch in early 2012 and cover 1,500 people; officials postponed it to spring 2013 and reduced their target to 300 enrollees. The delay barely made a ripple.
Overall, the LIHP laid a trail for Medicaid expansion, Wright and other advocates say. Health care providers now have more experience serving low-income patients, and some of the pent-up demand for health care services may have been alleviated.
"This program was critical to our preparation for the full ACA Medicaid expansion on January 1," according to a recent statement from Toby Douglas, director of the state's Department of Health Care Services. "It allowed us to strengthen our provider networks and expand our use of the more coordinated services provided by organized delivery systems."
"This gave the state a head start," adds Carol Sloan, a spokesperson for DHCS.
The 30 months of LIHP data also offer clues for what we can expect from the Medicaid expansion, not just in California but across the nation, too.
Lesson #1: Brace for steady, if sometimes slow enrollment
"The first big lesson is that enrollment in expansions like [the LIHP] takes a while," Benjamin Sommers tells California Healthline.
Sommers, a Harvard professor, was the lead author of a new Health Affairs study that examined early Medicaid expansion in several states.
In California, "enrollment was still steadily increasing [two-to-three] years into the expansion," Sommers notes. "So we shouldn't be too quick to judge the success of failure of the Medicaid expansion until we have a longer time period to evaluate."
Lesson #2: The sickest and oldest patients aggressively seek out coverage
Many of the initial enrollees in the LIHP were those with the most motivation to get covered, experts note.
About one-third of people who gained coverage through the program had chronic conditions, for example. And the age breakdown of LIHP enrollees was also notable; more than half were ages 45 and up.
Taken together, it's a reminder that it's not just the oldest and sickest who are more likely to seek out private coverage, like the new plans being sold through insurance exchanges, but all forms of new coverage available through the Affordable Care Act.
Lesson #3: Emergency department utilization will stabilize
The LIHP also has a chance to make a major contribution to the Obamacare canon: by offering data on whether coverage expansion reduces unnecessary utilization or merely adds demand to the health system.
There just hasn't been much evidence either way, which is why so much attention has focused on data coming out of the Oregon Health Insurance Experiment. For example, researchers have puzzled over the eye-catching conclusion that Medicaid expansion in Oregon led to a surge in emergency visits.
However, that's not quite what California's LIHP found.
A recent report suggested that ED utilization was flat-- or even fell -- among LIHP enrollees, although more comprehensive data suggests that there was a short-lived spike. But that should be within expectations, suggested Gerald Kominski, director of UCLA's Center for Health Policy Research.
"That behavior of seeking primary care in the ER has been reinforced for a period of years, and it doesn't change immediately just because you give somebody an insurance card," Kominski told the U-T San Diego 's Paul Sisson recently.
Dylan Roby, Kominski's colleague at UCLA, says that the center is preparing an "apples-to-apples" comparison of utilization between residents who had access to the safety net and those who didn't, drawing on LIHP data.
"In those analyses, which are preliminary, we do see an initial increase in [ED], outpatient, and [inpatient] use that stabilizes over time," Roby tells California Healthline.
The LIHP's legacy can be seen in Medi-Cal's rapid growth. In addition to the LIHP's infusion of enrollees, another 584,000 Californians residents were deemed eligible for the state's Medicaid program through the Covered California exchange. And experts say that providers and managed care plans' experience working with LIHP enrollees will prove valuable for redesigning care management and delivery to this underserved population.
But the legacy of the "most under-reported story" in health reform also could offer takeaways for how the next big coverage expansion gets covered in the press.
"We should be less concerned on a month-by-month basis whether or not the law meets predetermined, [imprecise] benchmarks" Harvard's Sommers says, "and instead keep an eye on the big picture of what coverage expansion is doing for those gaining insurance."

MOUNT PLEASANT — Town Council has one of South Carolina's most ambitious plans to upgrade its roads, drainage and town buildings. It just doesn't have a way to pay for it all.
That was the message delivered today during council's annual retreat at the Rivertowne County Club.
Chief Financial Officer Charlie Potts said the town is $27.5 million short of what will be needed to pay for major projects that Town Council already has approved.
"We will not be able to cover, in any meaningful way, the capital projects that have been identified by council," he said.
And that's just part of the picture. Town officials have identified $164 million of justifiable projects such as drainage upgrades, a new fire station, recreation improvements and other bit ticket items, but Potts said the town finds itself $113 million shy of what would be needed to pay for it.

Marshall club gives Xbox, games to boy recovering from serious condition
HUNTINGTON -- It's not every day that a kid receives a brand-new Xbox with Kinect and a handful of games to go along with it.
Of course, it's also not every day that 6-year-old Avery Patterson gets to celebrate being home for the first full week in more than a month after treatment and rehabilitation for the effects of Guillain-Barre syndrome, or GBS.
GBS is a disorder that occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks part of the nervous system, which leads to nerve inflammation that causes muscle weakness and other symptoms, according to the National Library of Medicine.
Members of the Marshall University Gaming Club presented Patterson with the gaming system Wednesday night in hopes that it will become a part of his continued recovery, said Valerie Malcomb, president of the club.
Several members of the club also are students of Avery's father, Brent Patterson, who teaches new media and graphic design at Marshall, and that was how they heard about Avery.
"The gaming community is very inclusive, so when we heard about how much Avery likes video games and how much they were helping him in the hospital, we couldn't go without helping him however we could," said Malcomb.
Avery endured a month's worth of symptoms before he was diagnosed in early February.
Brent Patterson said Avery was essentially paralyzed by the time he was transported to Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus on Feb. 4.
The diagnosis marked the second time Avery Patterson would be treated for GBS. He was diagnosed with and recovered from the disorder in 2010, when he was 3-years-old, his father said.
"When your child is falling ill, as a parent, it is the worst thing," said Brent Patterson. "When your child is getting better and back to their normal self, it is the best thing you can experience.
"This is just a strange illness. It's kind of a fire that has to burn itself out."
Avery was released from Nationwide Children's Hospital a little more than a week-and-a-half ago, and he continues to make progress, said Brent Patterson.
Other than a little bit of jealousy from his three siblings, Brent Patterson said he expects the gaming equipment to be a big hit and help in their household.
He described the gift as the latest in a long series of support from family, friends and even some complete strangers.
"I cannot give back all of the good that so many people have given to our family," he said. "I am so indebted to so many people, who were willing to give their time, food and everything, and we, as a family, are so thankful for where we are."

Recipe by Dolores White
"Make one complete cookie at a time. If the dough of one color is shaped first, the little rolls become to dry to twist."

1/2 cup
1 cup
sifted confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons
almond extract
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups
sifted all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
red food coloring
I have been making this recipe for over 30 years and have had NO problems with it except it takes time. I roll out long (2 1/2 foot) lengths of each color then cut to the size I want. Do not use too much flour to do this or the colors will not stick together when you roll them together and twist. Use just enough to keep it from sticking to you or the counter. If you have trouble rolling them or they break easily when removed from the pan, make smaller ones. You decide the length when you cut them. After reading some later comments on these cookies, I felt a need to comment on eggs and butter. Whenever you bake the size of egg you use can make a BIG difference as well as butter vs margarine. Margarine has water in it which alters the recipe. Eggs, I generally use extra large (Costco eggs).
YUK!! Not a very good flavor, and worst of all is that the dough is extremely horrible to handle. The dough kept cracking as I rolled it into shape. I tried rolling the dough with a rolling pin to do something else with it and it didn't roll with a pin well. I wound up making 12 candy canes and threw the rest of the dough out! By far the worst dough I have ever had the misfortune of handling.

I have been making these cookies since I was a little girl. My family has made a couple changes to the recipe through the years though. First, if you are having problems with the cookies breaking, use regular white sugar instead of the confectioners' in the recipe. It still yields a delicious delicate cookie, but the regular sugar makes a cookie just slightly chewy and alot stronger. I have never had them fall apart after doing this. Secondly, we never coat them in crushed candy canes. I don't feel that peppermint and almond extract really go together. We instead coat our candy canes with confectioners' sugar before serving. It just adds a little something extra and gives a nice presentation. Enjoy!
This is the recipe my mom and I used as a child. We had lost it and tried to replicate it, but it was never quite the same. My father and brother start nagging me in October to make candy canes for Christmas. Making the canes is a little labor intensive, but everyone loves them. I've also rolled them and made cut cookies (which Dad and brother don't like as well), and I've made part of the dough green to make wreaths. Thanks for posting!
I found it easier to divide both the red and white dough balls into 8 parts each, then roll one of each color into a log, and cut each log into a number of parts (about a dozen...depends on the exact size you want the cookies to be), then work with those little nuggets of dough as you need them. Also, after giving the two ropes a twist, I gave 'em another roll, so they were a single stripped stick, and came out more like a candy cane. You can also substitute the almond extra with peppermint, as many people aren't expecting them to be almond flavored.
These tasted pretty much like I remember having when I was a kid. I used 1 cup of butter and no shortening to avoid hydrogenated oils and I think this made mine spread/flatten out a lot and made them more cakey rather than pastry-like in texture. (I mention this only as fyi for anyone else who prefers not to use shortening when baking) But they were yummy!
This is a great base recipe. I was used to them with a mint flavor instead of almond, so I used vanilla and peppermint (no almond) extract and substituted granulated sugar for powdered. The consistency of the dough seemed fine and the two colors twisted together as expected. I sprayed the pan with non-stick spray before baking and had no cookies brake when removing them from the pan. I will make this again.
These cookies are the same ones my Mom used to make for my sister and me. They were always my holiday favorites. The almond extract adds a great flavor and the dough is easy to handle if you roll it with your hands into thin strips. No sugar or candy coating necessary.

Paul di Resta has been in Italy ahead of the grand prix in the country. With a race cockpit at Ferrari potentially available for 2014, and silly season rumours flooding the newswires , di Resta's pre-Monza holiday destination might actually be significant.
The Scot has been vacationing in the hamlet town of Corigliano Sessa Aurunca, which is located more than 500 kilometres from Ferrari's Maranello headquarters.
The town is reportedly the ancestral home of di Resta's grandfather, Felice, who moved to Scotland some six decades ago.
Nevertheless, when questioned in Italy this week, the 27-year-old did not deny his ambition is to move to Ferrari.
"Driving for Ferrari would be a dream for me and my family," he is quoted by Ansa news agency.
"I feel at home [in Italy]," he smiled. "But for now I am focused on Force India and the Grand Prix at Monza, where I want to do well." (GMM.)

She is the first victim of a serial killer that stalks the sleepy town of Inaba; a crime that baffles police due to the fact that her body was found hanging upside-down from a TV antenna with no evident cause of death. Saki Konishi, the high school student that found her corpse, is the killer's second victim and found in a similar position. Yu Narukami and his friends become involved in their own investigation into the murders after they discover a mysterious TV World populated with Shadows that led to their deaths.Events Leading to the MurderYamano is a television reporter who had become involved in an affair with up-and-coming politician Taro Namatame, who felt more attraction to her than to his wife, the famed singer Misuzu Hiiragi. Hiiragi, however, finds out about the affair and leaks news of it to the press. Humiliated, Yamano goes into hiding at the Amagi Inn where, under her emotional strain and the media circus surrounding her, she subsequently makes life miserable for the manager, Yukiko Amagi's mother.Detective Tohru Adachi, a recent transfer to Inaba and a closet sociopath, used his position on the force to get close to Yamano. When his advances are rejected, he forces himself upon her and shoves her against a television set. In their struggle, Adachi, unaware of his power, inadvertently pushes Yamano into the TV and sends her to the TV World.The events that transpire after Yamano's arrival in the TV World are not as clear. When Yu, Yosuke Hanamura and Chie Satonaka make their first trip into the TV World, they come across a small room in which they find a noose fashioned from a scarf that they later determine belonged to Yamano. The room is also plastered with defaced posters of Misuzu Hiiragi. It isn't clear whether the room as it exists when they find it is in the same state that it was in when Yamano appeared in the TV World, or if Yamano herself had defaced the posters or fashioned the noose. It is most likely that she was killed by her own Shadow, and when the fog emptied from the TV World and filled Inaba, her body was transported and became hung on the antenna.

The application of graphene as a post-silicon channel material is an interesting but challenging topic due to its metallic nature and low switching ratio. It is expected that the condition would change if a sizeable band gap is introduced. Here we report the electrical characteristics of the first semiconducting graphene-based logic inverters. Free of doping, the \textit{p}- and \textit{n}- branches in the bipolar graphene transistors are delicately used as the complementary components required in logic devices. Within perpendicular electric fields, large transport band gap ($>100$\,meV) and high switching ratio ($\sim200$ at 77\,K) are obtained in bilayer graphene channels. Besides, a simple and high capacitive-efficiency top gate with natural alumina dielectric ($\sim0.9$\,\textrm{$\mu$}F/cm$^2$) is adopted and the operating bias is lowered within 2\,V. For the first time, $>1$ voltage gain are extracted from graphene inverters. Voltage gain up to 8 and 2 are achieved at liquid-nitrogen and room temperatures, respectively. Importantly, a match between input and output voltage levels is realized, indicating the potential for direct cascading between multiple devices for future large-scale integration.

OTTAWA, Canada—Braving the snow, Ottawa theatregoers filled the National Arts Centre for each of Shen Yun Performing Arts' five sold-out or full-house performances in the nation's capital Dec. 27–30.
Filmmaker, artist, and fine-art photographer Richard Austin was captivated by the beauty and power of Shen Yun after seeing the acclaimed classical Chinese dance and music production on Saturday evening.
"It's magnificent. So unexpected, and so much energy and power and artistry," said Mr. Austin, who has had his photography exhibited internationally and has made over a dozen short films including At Last and the award-winning documentary Heather Crowe's Legacy.
Mr. Austin was also impressed by the talent and expressiveness of New York-based Shen Yun's dancers, who perform stories and legends from traditional Chinese culture through mainly classical Chinese dance but also ethnic and folk dance.
"I'm amazed at the performance of the dancers—they have so much energy, and so much beauty and synchronicity," he said. "It's really beautiful and it's quite expressive how the story is told through movement and colour."
Barbara Grose, a former ballet dancer who trained with the National Ballet of Canada, had a career that saw her go from dance to television and then on to promotions, but throughout her life she has maintained her love of live performance.
It's really beautiful and it's quite expressive how the story is told through movement and colour.
— Richard Austin, filmmaker, artist, and fine-art photographer
"I am overwhelmed by the technique of their talent, it's absolutely amazing. Of course, these people are very, very young too, and supple bodies, but the training is there," she said of the dancers.
"The costumes are absolutely exquisite. The technique of the dancers is A1—I know, because I have been there. I am just very, very pleased."
Award-winning musician Gary Graham, musical director and founder of Theatre Newfoundland and Labrador, thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday matinee.
"I think it's fantastic. It's a combination of all the arts, and it certainly is incredibly vibrant," said Mr. Graham, who in 2004 was invested into the Order of Newfoundland and Labrador for his role in developing the musical, cultural, and artistic life on the west coast of the province.
Each season, Shen Yun tours the world with an all-new lineup of dances, songs, and musical scores depicting the true, divinely inspired cultural heritage of China.
Experience to Remember
Having made numerous fans over the years, there are many who return year after year to witness Shen Yun's particular brand of magic.
"I enjoyed it so much last year, I didn't want to miss it," said Greg Kells, president and CEO of business brokerage firm Sunbelt Canada, who last year brought his entire staff to see Shen Yun.
"The dancing is fantastic, perfection, the music wonderful, and the show uplifting spiritually," he said.
MPP Jack MacLaren and his wife, Janet, were so impressed by Shen Yun last year that they came again this year.
"I love the beautiful costumes, the dancing, expression of the culture, and the music was wonderful too," Mr. MacLaren said.
"I was just very impressed by it all—very meaningful presentation," he added, commending Shen Yun on its mission to revive traditional Chinese culture.
Long-time fan David Kilgour, a former cabinet minister and Crown prosecutor who has also served as Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific and Secretary of State for Latin America and Africa, has seen Shen Yun for seven years running.
"I'm inspired differently and more every time I see it," he said. "It's uplifting. It's fabulous for the senses."
China expert Brian McAdam, a former diplomat at the Canadian Consulate in Hong Kong, has also seen Shen Yun seven times.
"Very elegant, very beautiful, and very moving," Mr. McAdam said. "I was very moved by what I just saw. I recognize the effort that goes into this production."
"You can just see the dancers are filled with life—just amazing. It's not like a normal production that one would see, like a Broadway production. You see phenomenal human spirit. It's fantastic," Mr. McAdam noted.
New York-based Shen Yun Performing Arts has three companies that perform simultaneously around the world. Shen Yun's New York Company will next visit Montreal for five sold-out shows Jan. 3-6 before playing in Quebec City, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Hamilton, and then completing its eastern Canadian tour in Toronto Jan. 17-20. Shen Yun's Touring Company will be in Vancouver Jan. 10-13.

Legal Expert: NFL 'Got Off Very Easy' On Concussion Settlement
Professor William Gould weighs in on the ruling handed down on the NFL's concussion lawsuit in The Los Angeles Times.
A leading labor-law expert said he is not surprised a federal judge has rejected the NFL's $765-million concussion settlement because of concerns the amount will be insufficient to cover all the injured parties.
"I thought the NFL got off very easy given the amount of money involved, the number of potential claimants, and the revenue that the NFL has," said Stanford law professor William B. Gould, former chairman of the National Labor Relations Board. "I would have expected this settlement to be in the billions of dollars."
Gould said such a rejection by a judge "is the exception but not the rule. It's somewhat unusual, but by no means unheard of. And of course, given the qualifications she's put on her opinion, it may be that she will reconsider this in light of the documentation that she said was lacking."

Babylonians | Greeks | Egyptians | Others | Calendars
The records of the Babylonians are among the oldest written records of ancient peoples' interests in celestial bodies. The records come in the form of cuneiform documents which have survived to the present day. They have provided us with an astounding view of what these civilizations who lived over 3000 years ago knew about the universe.
The Akkadians are among the first people credited to have kept astronomical records, and the earliest date from around 2500 B.C. They lived in the northern part of what was later called Babylon. The astronomer-priests that lived later in Babylon were able to use the records of the Akkadians to predict some of the motions of the sun, Earth's moon, and stars.
Some of their records that still exist today are tables of the positions of Venus (~1500 B.C.), eclipse times, and new moon records. Studies have indicated that as records became more complete, the actual recording of events became less important, and the mathematical analysis of existing records that lead to the prediction of future events became more important to the society. There is no evidence that the Babylonians developed any model to support their observations; rather, their interpretations were based purely on mathematics. This is in sharp contrast to the Greeks.
The so-called "Venus Tablet" is of note: The word Dilbat is the Babylonian word for Venus, and it also is identified with the goddess Istar, as well as sometimes with the goddess Anunit. Istar was also regarded as a star called Nin-si-anna, so the conclusion of R.H.M. Bosanquet and A.H. Sayce is that Ninsianna was the name commonly used for Venus. 90 lines from the tablet are translatable - the remaining 4 are broken off - and they contain many different observations, e.g. "The 15th day in heaven it is seen; and in the 2nd Elul, the 17th day, Venus."
Through a detailed analysis of the tablets, we know that the Babylonians were able to determine Venus' period. Unfortunately, too much other analysis is impossible because the time to which the tablet dates is not known well enough. If a tablet such as this were discovered with a king's name attached or some historical event, it would be possible to extrapolate more.
The most important objects were the sun and moon, and a calendar system was formed around them. Planetary motions, seemingly chaotic when viewed from Earth, were not understood by the Babylonians. However, evidence shows that the most important planet to the Babylonians was Jupiter, which was associated with Marduk - the god of Babylon.
The modern Zodiac owes its creation to the Babylonians. Tablet No. 77,821 in the British Museum which dates to ~500 B.C. agrees very closely with the present Zodiac. Even earlier documents, such as the Mul Apin tablets and astrolabes contain descriptions of constellations which conform to some, if not all, of the twelve that form the modern Zodiac. Thus, the Zodiac was systematized about the time of Nebuchadnezzar II in almost its present form.

As I say, it's not just about passing an exam, it's about actually learning something.
I agree with half of what you said. These professors I mentioned in those posts are not bad professors, just the wrong kind. They aren't promoting a learning environment, but instead take it upon themselves to punish those who aren't good students. And because they do not do it efficiently (only some tests were created this way), they hurt the good students as well, or at least the ones who had bad luck. Where is learning involved here? Maybe as a second thought, maybe as a second priority, but it is nowhere to be found in the base reasoning of things.

LETTER: Lawsuit is as low as one can stoop
To the Editor:
This is regarding the Aug. 1 Herald article about the lawsuit being brought by Chet Mann, "Chip" Post, Jan Hayes and Tony Lett to retain their seats on the Central Carolina Community College Board of Trustees.
It is difficult to understand why this unpaid position is so coveted by these four people. Is there something about these positions that the public doesn't understand? Or, is it sour-grapes, Democrat trial lawyers being vengeful?
Of the numerous jokes about trial lawyers, perhaps the one that best fits Jon Silverman, who represents these four plaintiffs, and his law partner, "Chip" Post, is this one: Why do trial lawyers play racquetball so well? The answer is, "Because they stoop so low."
I think most people will agree that suing taxpayers to keep a seat on an appointed board is as about as low as one can stoop.
Perhaps, if Mr. Post's trial-lawyer son, "Chas," fails to win a seat on the Sanford City Council this fall, he will sue the voters and the board of elections. This would be no more frivolous than the suit against taxpayers.
