Planning board sends forward two requests
Dish Network Corp., owner of the Blockbuster Video chain, is selling 27 Blockbuster owned properties in North Carolina, including the Henderson location, as part of a year-long strategy to close 300 Blockbuster stores in 2013.
Purchasing the 27 locations in North Carolina is Charlotte-based Crosland Southeast, and Crosland partner J. Austin Williams of Raleigh came to Henderson on Monday to get the 903 South Beckford Drive Blockbuster property rezoned for retail uses in anticipation of finalizing the deal.
Also, Vance County leaders received a nod from Henderson planners to rezone five acres where they anticipate a new animal shelter will be located.
Williams said there is no announced plan for Blockbuster to close its Henderson location, but selling the property in order to become a lessee there would make closing easier.
"Our intent here is to operate as a quality realtor leasing to top retailers," Williams said. "As you know, Blockbuster stores across the country are closing. Our only intent today is to rezone in conformity with retail use."
Henderson Planning Board members agreed with Williams on the zoning change. They noted the industrial use zoning designation for the lot is an old oversight error. Blockbuster has been retailing there for more than a decade.
The commission recommendation to rezone the lot will go to the Henderson City Council for approval.
Williams said Crosland operates on a high-quality business model that includes building structure assessments and renovations. He added the prominent location on the corner of Beckford and Dabney drives would be a draw for a broad range of retailers, from restaurants to medical supply dealers.
For the time being, Blockbuster would remain as a tenant at the location.
Plans announced in January for 2013 were to close about 300 Blockbuster stores across the country, impacting about 3,000 employees. That was a follow-up to closing 500 Blockbuster locations in 2012.
There should be about 500 locations left by year's end, selected for their superior sales performance. Dish Network purchased the bankrupt Blockbuster video rental chain for $320 million in March 2011.
A five-acre lot off Brodie Road across from 300 farming acres is where Vance County Animal Control is planning to operate. County leaders want zoning to reflect the agricultural character included with running the new shelter.
County Attorney Jonathan Care said that the use by the government of Vance would coincide with how land is being used in the area, changing the lot from residential to "RA," a mixed residential and agricultural designation.
"It is a suitable fit," Care said.
Jordan McMillen, director of the county planning department, said the zoning designation for residential and agricultural use would change the rules to low-density development, increasing setback and easement requirements that preserve the area's openness.
"We see it as a natural progression out from the city," McMillen said. "Our plan is to put the animal shelter there in the future."
McMillen said development of the shelter is still in the planning stages. The current shelter would close as all animal control operations would move to the new location.
The approval by the Henderson planning board sends the matter to the city council for a final decision.

Click Here to Watch the Whole Video in HD at Extra Big Dicks
Sporting at least eight-inch cocks, these studs love to stroke it and spill it for the camera. They�re hot, hung and seriously horny and there�s nothing they won�t do on film.
Drake Jayden walked into the studio at ExtraBigDicks.com, took one look at the 9 plus, mouth-watering, jaw-breaking inches on Trevor Knight, and knew instantly his hairy hole needed to take a joy ride. Insert your Knight Rider joke here. It didn't take Trevor long to do his insertions either. They were actually in a lip lock, with Trevor's fly down, before they even got the red recording light going on the cameras. Trevor goes down to get a taste of Drake's hairy 8 incher, then Drake has a go at Trevor's 9 1/2 python as it bobs and throbs with every swirl of Drake's tongue. He gets Drake on all fours and moves in for the tossed salad appetizer. He dives into Drake's ass tongue-first before going to town on that hairy ass he will soon claim. Trevor's fat cock is being introduced to Drake's tight ass. The two hit it off wonderfully, with Trevor's heavy low hangers joining in on the fun as they soon meet Drake's hungry ass-repeatedly! Trevor slaps away at his ass as Drake grinds and bucks

SCRANTON — Most of us can't wait to get home once we leave work.
However, a group of county workers in Lackawanna County get out of work, weekdays at 4 p.m. They try to go home, or to other appointments, only to get stuck in their cars, inside a downtown Scranton parking garage.
"People sit here for 25 minutes," said Theresa Shemlick of Carbondale as she tried to leave for the day.
"The average wait is about a half hour," added Annmarie Luchansky of Dickson City from the drivers seat, slowly moving her vehicle towards Adams Avenue.
"If you have an appointment or someplace else you have to get to after work, you`re kind of, late," said Cynthia Price, a Children, Youth, and Families worker from Dunmore.
They blame the signal light at the intersection of Adams and Spruce, which seems like its briefly green, then red for a long time.
Action 16 Investigative Reporter Dave Bohman tested the light with a stopwatch on Adams Avenue where the parking garage for county employees exits.
The light is green for 20 seconds, but red for more than a minute and a half.
Which means drivers trying to leave the garage at 4 p.m. get stuck while fumes fill up the facility.
"This signal in particular, we`re going to be looking at again next week to figure out why its been causing so many headaches," said PennDOT spokesman James May, who also said the tie ups result from a $5.5 million upgrade to synchronize 50 signal lights through downtown Scranton.
It's supposed to help traffic become *more efficient."
So why does the traffic jam at 4 p.m. at Adams and Spruce?
"It`s sort of like a 50 sided Rubik`s Cube, that when you make changes to one intersection, it impacts 49 other signals," said the May.
"I have a sick husband at home that i have to get home to. And it doesn`t look like its going to happen anytime soon," said Luchansky. "There are people in the office who work second jobs and have to go right to other jobs after here, and they`re sitting in this traffic sometimes until about 4:30 p.m."
County workers said Scranton Police denied their requests to have an officer direct traffic here between 4 and 4:30 p.m.
Meantime, May asks drivers to be patient while stuck in the garage.
May said the solution will take anywhere from three days, to four weeks.

Reform Round-Up
1 - Affordable Health Choices Act
Senate HELP Committee

4 - US National Health Care Act
Rep. John Conyers (D)
5 - National Health Insurance Act
Rep. John Dingell (D)
6 - Empowering Patients First Act
Rep. Tom Price (R)
7 - American Health Security Act
Sen. Bernie Sanders (D)
8 - Americare Health Care Act
Rep. Pete Stark (D)
9 - Healthy Americans Act
Sen. Ron Wyden (R) & Sen. Bob Bennett (R)
While many healthcare reform bill incorporate similar concepts, there are certainly key differences. Bills 1,2,3,6, and 9 are variations on private insurance with the possibility of a publicly funded government regulated competitor, the so-called 'public option'. Bills 4,5,7, and 8 are universal health plans run completely by the federal government. At the current time, the universal plans do not enjoy wide support. Though somewhat similar to the first two Senate and House Democratic bills, the legislation offered by Republicans is also not likely to see the light of day. Here are a few of the highlights of the major bills with a brief explanation of each, which bills incorporate these specific concepts, and our analysis of what these concepts, if passed, might mean to you, your patients, and the nation.
Universal Coverage
Bills 1 and 2 mandate that everyone has to buy insurance, but doesn't say it has to be a government plan. A tax would be levied on the individual (up to 2.5% of gross income, capped at the cost of the basic plan premium) or employer (up to 8% of payroll) who could not prove that they were insured. The 'public option' of a government sponsored insurance company modeled after or simply an expansion of Medicare, may or may not be in a final version of either. Bill 1 hopes to create a state sponsored insurance company that would compete with private insurers in an attempt to make them more efficient.
3,6, and 9 make it easier for everyone to get insurance, but stops short of requiring it.
4,5,7,8 are universal health plans run by the federal (4,5,8) or state (7) governments.
The 'public option', expansion of Medicare/Medicaid or the creation of a state run insurance company to include more people and possibly compete with private insurance would get closer to universal coverage than the tax incentives that the Republicans propose, but might prove less effective than believed. For instance, it is estimated that nine million people are currently eligible for Medicare or Medicaid but have never signed up. Since they won't pay anything either way, what is the motivation for applying for this insurance? Access has not really been considered. Providing universal access should increase utilization, and coupled with adding 46 million new insureds to the system could overwhelm our resources. Another hot button issue is whether insurance will cover illegal aliens. Sponsors of most bills say no. But this group makes up a large portion of the uninsured. The upside is that we'll finally be compensated for this care. Unfortunately, as a taxpayer, you'll be paying for it. However it is decided, it is not likely to make much difference since it would probably require people to self identify as 'undocumented'. Illegals would likely see this as a back door to exposure and elect to stay underground. Moreover, many fear that the public option creates a situation where private insurance could no longer compete with a subsidized competitor. This would lead to a gradual slide into a government takeover of all health care. So our opinion is that 'universal coverage' will not occur regardless of what bill is passed. Your vote is likely to fall along the lines of whether you feel the Medicare/Medicaid model is the best, most efficient way to improve access.
Insurance Exchanges
All but the universal health bills call for the creation of health insurance exchanges where patients can compare (standardized benefit plans that meet minimum criteria that fall into three or four levels), purchase them (with or without subsidies), and achieve complete portability. Bills 1,2 require that the plans offered in such exchanges conform to a government model, to be "qualified" by HHS. HR 3200 (2) has a complicated scale of increasing taxes on small businesses with various sized payrolls who do not have all employees covered by "qualified" insurance plans.
Attempts to standardize plans will make it much easier for patients/consumers to make an apple-to-apple comparison between plans. Opening the exchanges to all competitors is likely to drive down costs through wider competition. However, if the government has to "qualify" the plan or one of the competitors is subsidized by the government, it could either make them more efficient or drive them out of the market. Our view is that competition is basically a good idea. But limiting the exchanges to plans that are 'qualified', as determined by some government entity will require more government intervention and equals insurance regulation by Washington. Everyone agrees on guaranteed issuance and renewability of insurance. Disagreement occurs when everyone is forced to buy a policy that covers services that don't apply to them. Our view is that this is a good idea, but the devil is in the details. Much more study is necessary before being written in stone. And simply punting this 'detail' to a medical advisory council is insufficient.
Insurance Premium Credit/SubsidyBills 1,2, and 3 all have some form of subsidy or tax credit for low income citizens. Bills 1 and 2 have schemes that calculate the subsidy as a per cent of income (not to exceed 12%) and goes up to 400% of the federal poverty line. So, a family of three with an income of $75,000 would qualify. The subsidy can only be applied to purchase one of the three lowest providers. Bill 3 is a voucher for insurance and only applies to those below 200% of the FPL. There are no restrictions on which provider is chosen. Individuals purchasing a plan less expensive than the voucher amount would be able to put the remaining amount into a health savings account that would accrue.
Making insurance affordable, either through making it tax deductible, a tax credit or subsidizing it in some way will motivate everyone from low income on up to have insurance. The levels at which the government subsidizes insurance, however, will have no impact on holding down costs. And it might even add to health care inflation and/or overutilization.
Our view is that everyone wants something from the government that is paid for by someone else. Higher subsidies could be reflected in higher utilization and will place tension between the patient and the provider who is trying to limit services. The only way to control costs will be to put the burden on the provider to deny unnecessary care. It is important to recognize that the current administration still believes that many ED visits are unnecessary, adding to the cost burden on the health care system. Without a paradigm shift, we could expect initiatives to deny ED claims and divert our patients elsewhere. Maintaining cost controls in this environment is unlikely. The option of transferring responsibility for health over to the patient by allowing them to benefit from underutilization of services and saving in a tax-free HSA is a good idea, but it will take education for it to be taken advantage of by the poor and less sophisticated insurance purchaser.
Expansion of State Medicaid, CHIP & MedicareBills 1,2, and 4 call for an expansion of the eligibility for the above programs with the feds picking up the difference. Bills 3 and 6 take the opposite approach and attempt to move patients from public insurance programs to subsidized private insurance. Care rendered by Medicaid is limited to acute care only and a few other specific conditions.
Expansion of government programs is simply the 'public option' by another name. If Medicare is going broke, expanding it will only make it go broke faster with more catastrophic results. Medicare was scheduled to reduce physician reimbursement 21% in the coming year by enforcement of the Sustainable Growth Rate formula. The AMA threw its support behind the H.R. 3200 (2) when the sponsors agreed to scrap the SGR. But it will be back...in another form. The federal government has agreed to take over this portion of state Medicaid for a time and reimburse at the Medicare rate. At current rates, this would be a real positive in most states. However, nobody is talking about what next year's rates will be. Eventually, it must go back to the states as an unfunded mandate.
Preventive CareBills 1,2,4,5,7, and 8 all have a large emphasis on funding preventive care with the assumption that it will lower the total cost for chronic and acute care. President Obama's stated goal is to have preventive care with no copay and a mandatory part of any 'qualified plan' offered through an insurance exchange.
Bills 3,6, and 9 have less emphasis on preventive care though they do allow tax free contributions to HSA accounts for these and other services.
The greatest risks to health continue to be obesity, tobacco, alcohol, drug use, and other risks induced by life style. Tobacco and alcohol are already heavily taxed without significant decreases in usage. Proposals to tax sugary drinks will face heavy opposition because they will tax the young and similarly fail to show results. Other attempts to tax lifestyles will fail as well. Giving people benefits, that is cash in their pockets through premium savings, may, repeat may, have some beneficial effects.
The notion, however, that preventive care will reduce medical expenditures overall is simply false. Better detection of breast cancer will be accomplished by earlier, more frequent, and wider breast screening. This costs more, not less. Preventive care is going to be the Trojan horse that balloons the cost of care in the future. It will result in more tests, more medication for longer periods, and more surgery. The voters will have to decide if we have the pocket book to fund the incremental improvement in quality. In order to address preventative care, GME restructuring has been proposed to add more primary care residency slots. It is very likely that this would result in a redistribution of residency slots, not additional slots. So, if EM is not considered primary care, we could see contraction of our workforce.
Quality ImprovementThe Senate bill (1) focuses its quality improvement aspects on the formation of study groups, interagency working groups, and agencies for evaluating health care research and quality. It establishes the Center for Health Outcomes Research and Evaluation. It also provides grants to community health teams, medical home implementation, and regional emergency care and trauma systems. HR 3200 (2) establishes the Center for Comparative Effectiveness Research and Quality. But an amendment has been offered to prevent this research from being used to deny or ration care. HR 3200 (2) also strengthens the 'medical home' concept by increasing payments to primary care and fund projects to test different payment incentive models, such as the medical home, payment bundling, and accountable care organizations. The Republican model is more incentive oriented, allowing providers to form accountable care organizations and receive bonuses from Medicare for improving quality and satisfaction while lowering costs. The Patients' Choice Act (3) also allows for competitive bidding for Medicare Advantage plans.
There is no disagreement that health care can be streamlined to be more efficient and effective through a variety of methods. Savings can be achieved without sacrificing quality. But the degree of savings remains debatable. And whether the savings, through efficiency is sufficient to fund a huge expansion of services is highly doubtful. Moreover, physicians and patients remain concerned about 'quality improvement' projects funded by the government that may have the effect of rationing care to those who need and deserve it. Private insurance has denied care for profit reasons. Government has done the same. Research efforts that are heavily controlled by government or industry will naturally reflect the interests of those funding the research and should be suspect. Given the complexity and sometimes long-term nature of medical research, the potential for a bureaucrat in Washington establishing "best practices" will be difficult, if not a little scary. Furthermore, guiding care by this method will be problematic, if not ineffective, without meaningful tort reform. It is our opinion that the best outcomes will come through a broad research effort that is positively motivated and funded. Let the physicians and hospitals who produce the best results at the best cost enjoy the benefits of their efforts.
What's MissingTort reform is nowhere to be found in any of these bills. Yet lurking behind every effort to streamline the system and lower costs is the specter of increasing the risk of being sued when a bad outcome inevitably occurs. Defense lawyers will agree that cost effectiveness is not an argument that can be successfully made in today's litigious environment. Caps on malpractice awards have been successful, where they have been enacted, in lowering the cost of insurance. But it is the fear of being sued, not losing, that drive excessive testing and treatment. Therefore, it is our opinion that tort reform, whether it is clearer standards of care, binding arbitration, or a completely new system of medical courts, is a vital part to bringing down the total cost of medicine.
Financing the PlansWhen all the rhetoric is done, ultimately health care reform is about money. The country cannot afford to continue to pay for health care at its current pace of increase. In short, the expectation will be to provide more care for less compensation. Adding many more insureds in the context of reducing cost can bring you to no other conclusion. Although taxation will infuse capital into the system, it will fall short of covering the expenses of any proposed plan. President Obama maintains he will not tax the middle class to pay for his plan. However, he has defined middle class as anyone making less than $250,000 per year, effectively increasing the pool of those to be taxed. The President has also promised that he will not sign any health care bill that raises the federal deficit, although every current proposal would do just that. Ultimately, the success or failure of health care reform will be about finding a level of spending that is sustainable.
In closing, let us say that these are but a few of the highlights with the skimpiest of details. Look up the bills online and read them for yourself. You might be ahead of your congressman or senator. It is obvious that health care needs improvement. Some of the ideas presented in these bills are good starts and are certainly well intentioned. But this is a complicated system developed over a long history. It is our hope that everyone will step back, take a deep breath, forget the timetable, and work the problem. America knows that the time for health care reform is ripe. If we work the problem we might get it right. If we rush to conclusions, we could crash the system and cause untold suffering.
# Doctors Oppose Govt. Control — 2009-09-14 02:48
On 9/10/2009 over 1,000 physicians rallied in Washington, DC to oppose and government takeover of health insurance or care. Their message: "Shame on you, President Obama", for suggesting physicians mutilate their patients for financial gain. See the video at www.docs4patientcare.org and excellent coverage of the event at:
Remember the hippocratic oath.

PediPaws Nail Trimmer
PediPaws Pet Nail Trimmers The PediPaws Pet Nail Trimmer: Works quickly easily, and gently Won't crack, splinter or break nails Has rotating emery bands that gently file nails Is cordless and lightweight Files to smooth rounded finish The PediPaws pet nail trimmer is a revolutionary new automatic pet nail trimmer that trims your pets nails quickly, easily, and effectively! The secret is the rotating emery band that safely removes thin layers of your pet's nails, while keeping the trimmings inside so there's no mess to clean up. With regular pet nail trimmers, it's so easy to accidentally trim too much off of the nail, and cut into the quick, causing pain for your pet. PediPaws dog nail trimmers are safe pet nail trimmers that allow you to take just a bit off the nail at a time so that you get a perfect, pain-free trim every time! This dog nail trimmer guides you as you trim so that you are much less likely to take too much of the nail off and cause pain to your pet. Why do pets fight you when you are trying to trim their nails? Because they know that it hurts! You will be surprised at how calm they are when you use PediPaws pet nail trimmers! You no longer have to dread fighting with your dog or cat when it's time to trim their nails! Some ordinary pet claw trimmers can also leave the edges of the nail cracked and jagged. With PediPaws dog nail trimmer, there's no more cracking, splintering, or breaking your pet's nails because Pedi Paws doesn't pinch down on the nails. Instead, it uses a precision filing wheel to gently trim your pet's claws. With the Pedi Paws dog nail trimmer, your pet's nails will be touchable, smooth and you and your home will be scratch free! PediPaws is the innovative way to eliminate the hassle of nail grooming. Traditional clippers can cause painful nail splitting and cracking. PediPaws rotating emery bands gently and safely files your pet's nails to a smooth, rounded finish. Plus, the protective cap catches the filings, so there is no mess! Your pet's nails will be at a healthy length and your home will be safe from the scratches and snags. Eliminate the fear and stress of nail grooming with PediPaws. It's cordless, runs on two C batteries (not included), and comes with four (4) emery bands. Give your pets the safe grooming experience they deserve with Pedi Paws!
Before Using PediPaws:Before Using PediPaws, spend some time to properly introduce the device to your pet. This will make it much easier to use PediPaws when it's time for filing. The following steps may be helpful in making your pet more comfortable with the PediPaws.Turn on PediPaws and give your pet a delicious treat. Move PediPaws close to your pet and give enthusiastic praise.As necessary, repeat step 1 each day until your pet is completely comfortable around PediPaws.Now turn on PediPaws and have a treat ready. This time we will file the TIP of ONE of your pet's nails. (read the full instructions before use.) After filing, praise and reward your pet with a treat.Next we will do one whole paw. Alternate nails and only file each nail for a few seconds. When finished, reward your pet with praise and a treat.At this point your pet should be comfortable getting a full PediPaws pedicure.Holding Your Pet:If your pet is not comfortable receiving a PediPaws pedicure (after the previous introduction process), you may choose from one of the following suggested approaches; Some people find it easiest to have the pet sit on your lap, while some prefer to have the pet lay on his or her side. You may decide to lay your pet on his or her back. Find a position that works for you both.Trimming Your Pet's Nails:Use PediPaws on a soft, comfortable spot like a carpeted floor, bed or sofa.Take your pet's paw and support a single nail with your thumb and fore-finger. This is essential. You must always support the nail before filing.Always make sure the orange protective cap is screwed on securely before filing. Turn on PediPaws and insert nail into the opening in the protective cap. Start gently filing the nail. File the nail for no more than 3 - 5 seconds at a time before alternating nails. Always alternate nails. This ensures your pet does not experience any discomfort due to excessive friction. Always look at the nail after every 3-5 second filing. This will ensure you do not file too much. Over filing can result in injury to your pet.Always file in a rounded motion to give the nails a smooth blunt feel.File the upper part of the nail in addition to the bottom; this is the secret to a good PediPaws pedicure. The top portion of the nail is where most of the growth occurs and is usually the sharpest part. File the nail little-by-little until it is rounded and smooth.After Use:Turn off PediPaws, empty filing, wipe off with a dry cloth and store in a safe, dry location away from children. Remove batteries from PediPaws if it will not be used again for a period of time.Changing Emery Bands:Turn off PediPaws and remove batteries before opening the orange protective cap.Unscrew the orange protective cap.Holding the emery barrel between your fingers firmly, loosen the single screw on the top of the emery filing band by turning the screw counter clockwise.Slide off old emery band and replace with a new one.Retighten screw on top of wheel.Screw on orange protective cap and reinsert batteries.

I'm very happy to say that my most recent King purchase was a pair of tickets to the Manchester Vermont book tour event.:biggrin2:
We're All In This Together 1st edition signed by Owen King (ok it's not Stephen but it's Owen). I'm only missing an autograph from Tabitha (which I know I can find from Overlook Connection) and Naomi (which I don't know where I'm gonna find one at) to have all the living King family members autographs.
I found myself a hardcover copy of Needful Things at a garage sale. $1-3? It's in beautiful condition and makes a nice book end! :laugh:
Just got myself 8 hardcovers in great condition for $34 :oh:
"The Tommyknockers", "Lisey's Story", "Cell", "The Bachman Books" (inculdes "Rage"), "Thinner", "Blaze", "The Regulators", "Desperation".
I'm now up to 25 SK hardcover books in less than a year! :oh:
I just bought The Stand, Dolores Claiborne, Needful Things, Insomnia and Nightmares & Dreamscapes for £14.50!
My most recent purchase was at a library sale. It was amazing, all you had to do was fill up a paper bag with books and you paid 5 dollars for it. I got Eyes of the dragon, Pet Semetary, misery, it, the dead zone, cell, the tommyknockers, thinner, on writing, dream catcher, and the talisman all for 5 bucks in hardcover. Also picked up Rushdie's Satanic Verses in hardcover at the same time. It was a great day. I love living in a small town.
Got the S&S Us limited edition Signed book! yay!!!! :laugh:
Just After Sunset
My most recent was American Nightmares # 5. I'm following the series faithfully, and even though I've already read the source material twice.
Next up will probably be the next story arc of comic in October, and probably the first issue of The Talisman as well, also in October.

Public Interest Fellows
The impact and commitment of Stanford Law faculty is matched by that of our students. Each year, Stanford selects third-year students as role models through the Public Interest Fellows program. Fellows mentor underclass students as they explore their own commitments to public interest law. After graduation they pursue careers in public service.
As graduates, Public Interest Fellows often join Stanford Law's National Public Interest Alumni Network of practitioners across the country who mentor current students. Students can request a mentor with experience in specific geographic regions or practice areas, or from similar backgrounds, for help with career planning and clerkship applications or simply to enhance their sense of community.
"Serving as a public interest fellow at Stanford gave me the opportunity to play a leadership role in the shaping of the law school's public interest program. Between mentoring 1L students, providing the administration with feedback and ideas for policy change, and planning events to raise student awareness of public interest opportunities, I felt that I had a real voice in the program. And it is because of that program that I was able to design my own public interest dream job as a Skadden Fellow. Were it not for the support and guidance of the Levin Center staff, clinical professors, and Stanford's broader public interest community, including my many brilliant public interest peers, I would not be a legal aid attorney today."
Sabrina Adler '08, Skadden Foundation Fellow, Bay Area Legal Aid
"Stanford's public interest grant program allowed me to intern at the National Center for Youth Law, improving educational outcomes for youth in foster care. I cannot say enough about the support I received from the Levin Center staff. Their guidance enabled me to pursue a career advocating for disadvantaged children, and the public interest community at Stanford helped sustain me throughout law school."
Jesse Hahnel '08, Skadden Fellow and Attorney, National Center for Youth
The support, encouragement, and inspiration provided by the Levin Center for Public Service and Public Interest Law are unlike anything I could have ever imagined. Throughout law school, I was able to develop my skills and explore my interests thanks to the variety of pro bono opportunities, mentoring events, and speakers. The time, assistance, and dedication of the center staff undoubtedly helped me become a Skadden Fellow. I consider myself exceptionally lucky to be a member of Stanford Law's thriving public interest community.
Tamika Butler '09, Skadden Fellow and Staff Attorney, The Legal Aid Society — Employment Law Center

More alarmism brought to you by the people who swore y2k would be the end of the world. I have no doubt that AT&T and Apple have closely partnered to learn from the original iPhone network debacles. Carry on...
US Government Fears iPad, iPhone and Other Data Devices May Cripple Networks
The US Government seems to be a bit concerned about Apple's iPad, fearing its release in combination with the iPhone and other data-heavy devices, will wreak havoc on wireless networks.
Phil Bellaria of the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau recently published in his blog his concerns about the future of our data networks.
blockquote>"With the iPad pointing to even greater demand for mobile broadband on the horizon, we must ensure that network congestion doesn't choke off a service that consumers clearly find so appealing or frustrate mobile broadband's ability to keep us competitive in the global broadband economy."
He then brings us back to 1996 to remind us of the time AOL first introduced unlimited data and how that particular instance brought about major connection trouble for all of it's users. AOL, after the fact, then took the appropriate actions in beefing up it's network to allow for all of that traffic. In regards to the iPad it seems like Apple has been closely working with AT&T to make sure network improvements are made being the products release.
Does Phil have a valid point? Should we be worried about our data networks? Sound off in the comments below (especially if you life in SF or NYC...)!
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

US Government Fears iPad, iPhone and Other Data Devices May Cripple Networks
Seriously, why does it "seem" like Apple and Att are working to improve things? What evidence are you using, other than press releases from each company, which are by definition self-serving? Att's annual and earnings statements, where they have a vested interest in disclosure in order to price their stock fairly, reveal no planned increase in infrastructure either on an absolut or per-subscriber basis. Where, then, is actual evidence, aside from the PR departments?
@ Dev
LOL dnt ask dnt oversell LOL I Love it LOL
No Worry About It..
@Tberb: LOL...II thought the exact same thing...
@Dev: I'm pulling down between 3 and 4Mbps when they turned on HSPA 7.2. Before then, almost never under 2Mbps. All over L.A. with its dense population. Give the AT&T bashing a rest. And remember, it's always the few people who have coverage problems who drown out the masses who have nothing to bark about.
When u update to 3.1.3 look at the battery percentage remember it, then reset ur iPhone and when it turns back on look at the 1st intial lockscreen the battery percentage will be 8% lower then after a sec it will jump back 8 % to wut it should really be… Very very strange I thought apple was supposed to fix the issue not make it worse…. DO NOT UPGRADE PLEASE STICK WITH 3.1.2 FAR LESS BUGGY….
@dev I hope you are not looking at the capital expendature from AT&T's earnings reports. AT&T is much more than a wireless company and much of there spending is on fiber and landlines - so they could actually decrease overall capital expendatures and be increasing spending on cell phone coverage.
We are also all gonna dle in 2012 so as long as the network holds up till then we will all be fine. Now sit back and finish your kool aid
So...is this dude Playa gonna post that everywhere?
As a European reader, I find it ridiculous that the reliability of your mobile networks - an important part of any country's infrastructure - is so dependent on the investments of a few private corporations. In my country, the cell phone networks were privatized in the late 90s, but in the years before that, the government financed a pretty solid GSM-infrastructure that is still the basis of our HSPA-networks today. We wouldn't have anywhere near the penetration we have today if my government hadn't taken that first step. Perhaps Obama should start some kind of initiative to... oh wait, SOCIALISM.
Delete this article, do more research, rewrite it, proof read it twice, then publish.
Yes, but most analysts say the opposite is true, that AT&T has been underinvesting in its wireless infrastructure while beefing up its wired infrastructure for its uverse product. Here is one analysis (pre-iPad) of AT&T's wireless expenditures over the lifepsan of the iPhone:
"According to TownHall, AT&T's capital expenditures on its wireless network from 2006 through September 2009 totaled about $21.6 billion, compared with $25.4 billion for Verizon and $16 billion for Sprint (including Sprint's investments in WiMax operator Clearwire). Over that time, Verizon has spent far more per subscriber: $353, compared with $308 for AT&T, Hallaren said. Even Sprint has outspent AT&T per subscriber, laying out $310 for network capital expenditure."
why wouldn't a cheaper netbook, which has better internet capabilities be a bigger "threat" than a crippled (no flash/video) iPad?
@Neil brimelow
it doesn't have to do with "better" Internet capabilities. It has to do ith how many people have the device. Like it or not this ipad will probably sell lime crazy.
So, are rtetirewn summeries not counted no matter what? I just did a proper summery for the Planetary preview where there was originally just information on where it previously appeared, but no actual details on what the plot was about.Also, there wouldn't happen to be a way to spy on the competition and see how many summeries others have written, is there? Or would that ruin the fun of competition?
Great publicity for the iPad ;)
I don't think the iPad will impact stuff like this until the 2nd and 3rd generation models, the ones the masses will start purchasing.
The device purchasing public as become very savvy over the past few years; not purchasing generation-1 devices has become 'common sense' :)
I can't wait to see all these people get their iPads without Java or Flash Plugin Architecture and realize that they are surfing the 'retard' web without the ability to download anything or use the thing like a real computer and then they realize they just bought a reaaaallly expensive ereader! LOL! The App Store is boring after a while.. have fun Suckaas!
I see a slightly big improvment in network speed in NYC ( my average is 1.1mbps , max average 1.8mbps and in my home 1.8-1.9mbps) and call quality is a little better however , with the iPad , iPhone , there might be a indefinite change in that.
If AT&T continuously make improvements to their network in the next 6 months they might maintain their improvments for the rest of the year while iPhones and iPads hog the network.
Matt I love your comment... Hilarious...
I think if they can't handle the millions that are going to get the Unlimited Data plan for their iPads why bother even havin it for your company
Parkettpolitur, our government doesn't needed to improve "ATT's" network. When ATT's network gets bad enough it will start to hurt their pockets and they will have to start improving things. It is funny how no one is even concerned or discussing the possibility of our government getting involved. They just want to find something else to socialize and tax the hell out of to support their crazy spending ideas. The government screws up everything they run. They would be much worse then ATT.
BTW, I have no problem with ATT in my hometown. Clearly it isn't that bad for the majority of the country or they would have customers dropping like flies. They have a few areas of the country that are very bad which scream louder then the ones that don't.
But yes, your right... socialism.. they are taking one step at a time. The baby steps slowly numb people then before you know it, it's here.
Great post. Interesting read. One thing - I'm using Google Chrome and I had a few problems posting comments. I know Chrome isn't hugely popular but you might want to check it out.
I don't think the Ipad will be as successfull as the iphone, as it is not as knew and revolutionary.

California has the secretary of state and the board of equalization and also
many other venues. I would suggest looking online your state portal and also
contacting a local sba office. They usually have pamphlets that will break
down the requirements, rules and regulations.

Thanks for the great advice BuzzGuy and TR_OK! Thanks for joining the community! We're glad you're here. Have you tried the license and permit tool on Business.gov? Here is a link to it: http://www.business.gov/register/licenses-and-permits/. Just type in your state or city and it will return links on what permits are required. Best of Luck, JenniferD
haiwasnm | Window Shopper | 4/19/2009 - 7:16 pm
RT @wolfspiritp : First of all, there is no Licensing required for wholesale operations. There is also no such thing as an Importers license.What you will need though is a licensed Customs Broker to clear your shipments through Customs when they arrive from over seas.To legally operate your business, you will need and Resale Tax License from your state Department of Revenue. This is a simple form, but normally requires a cash deposit based on what the potential sales tax revenues would be over a 3 month period. You are then required to submit sales taxes to the State, normally on a quarterly basis.Remember, though, Sales to out of state locations are non taxable, so the majority of your sales would not involve sales tax.Your local city or County may also require a Business license. This can normally be acquired through your local city hall or County Seat.Good luck with your new venture. Source(s): Import/Export for the past 10 years

If all else fails, contact your local Small Business Development Center- I'm sure they've answered this question hundreds of times. http://sbdc.mt.gov/offices.asp They will be a great resource for other questions as well.

Just got off the phone with Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle, who earlier today agreed to terms on a new four-year contract.
Mavericks president of basketball operations used the words "proud and relieved" to get the deal done, so what were Carlisle's emotions?
"I'm very grateful," Carlisle said. "My biggest emotion is gratitude. To have the opportunity to do another contract, in this city with this franchise, this owner and GM, is a big deal to me.
"I don't take the responsibility lightly."
Much was made this season about the fact that Carlisle, coming off an NBA championship with the Mavericks in 2010-2011, was in effect a free-agent-coach-to-be.
It's customary, and deserved, to lock in coaches to new contracts immediately after championships. But 2011-2012 was no ordinary season. I believe throughout the year that the reason Carlisle and Cuban had not come to terms on a new deal was that about three-fourths of the players on the roster were either in the final year of their contracts or on one-year deals.
What kind of message would it have sent to, for instance, Jason Terry, if the head coach was given longterm security when the player who scored 27 points in Game 6 of the 2011 Finals was not extended.
Carlisle today seemed to confirm my suspicion.
"I was sensitive to the fact that we had a locker room full of free agents and potential free agents," he said. "That was another reason that I wasn't beating down the door to get something done. Things had to happen when they were meant to happen, and I was good with that."

The bridge alone wasn't the cause of community ire, it was taking money for essential services and spending it on projects that do nothing to return value. That, and the ridiculous "five fold" increase. Next time, focus on things that legitimately invite private investment. Thankfully, this ugly chapter in our city's history is nearly over!
Unbelievable! Shame on you Lou. I was at the meeting. If anything, fire representatives were the ones who were "objective." That aside, you're suggesting that the City should get another 25 years (60 years total) of other governments' money to build parks, pedestrian paths and clock towers - not on my watch. Good for TVF&R that they said no. And good for Tualatin voters that they're paying attention. One way or another, I hope this will be decided at the ballot box!

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. -
Northridge Travels to Sin City for Preseason Tournament
The Cal State Northridge women's soccer team (2-3) heads to Las Vegas, Nev. to participate in the UNLV Nike Classic this weekend. The Matadors will face the Kansas Jayhawks for the first time ever on the soccer pitch on Sept. 10 at 4:30 p.m., and then tackle the host Rebels on Sept. 12 at 1 p.m.
Last week, CSUN split its two matches, rallying to defeat Pepperdine, 2-1, before falling 4-1 to No. 11 UCLA. Senior Farryn Townley tied the match against the Waves and an own goal propelled the Matadors to the victory, their first against Pepperdine in the all-time series. Two days later, Northridge battled against the Bruins, getting an Erin Kelly goal to send the teams into halftime tied at 1-1. In the second half, UCLA pressed the issue, getting three goals.
Now CSUN must get ready for a pair of matches in the Mojave Desert that are sure to provide even more challenges. KU is 2-3 on the season, having defeated No. 14 Northwestern, 2-1, before falling by the same score to Illinois State in action last week. UNLV is 4-1, having bested Colorado 4-2 after falling 2-1 to Creighton last week.
Lights, Camera, Action
The Aug. 22 contest against Portland was the inaugural match under the new lights at Matador Soccer Field. The fixtures were installed in the summer of 2010 and will reintroduce the San Fernando Valley to nighttime Division I soccer. A program record 1,496 fans came out to see the Matadors battle the fifth-ranked Pilots. Although CSUN lost 2-1, the Matadors nearly overcame a 2-0 halftime deficit, hitting the crossbar with under two minutes left in regulation.
Things Will Be Great When You're DownTown-ley
Senior Farryn Townley scored the tying goal in the Matadors' 2-1 victory over Pepperdine, her second strike of the 2010 campaign. The goal was the 17th of her career, moving her into a tie with Brianna Monka for third in school history. For her career, Townley has scored 37 points, tying her with Leila Pate for the sixth-most in school history. That figure is eight points shy of matching Kristy Krohn for the most in school history. In 2009, Townley earned All-Big West First Team honors after scoring nine goals, two assists and 20 points. With 11 shots on the season, Townley has also moved into eighth in school history with a total of 78 career shots.
Sonia's Story
Senior Sonia Espitia added her first assist of the 2010 season in the Matadors' 2-1 victory over Pepperdine, helping on Farryn Townley's goal. She also scored the Matadors' first goal of the 2010 season. In the 58th minute of CSUN's match with Portland, Espitia laced a shot that deflected off a Pilot defender and into the net. The goal was the third of Espitia's career, with the first two coming in the 2009 season. She earned All-Big West Second Team honors for her play in 2009, which also included two assists. For her career, Espitia has three goals, five assists and 11 points.
Kelly's Heroes
Senior Erin Kelly blasted a devastating free kick from roughly 30 yards out to score her first goal of the 2010 season in the Matadors' 4-1 loss to UCLA. The tally was the second of Kelly's career and her first goal since 2008. For her career, Kelly has two goals and an assist for five career points. She has started every game of the 2010 season for CSUN thus far.
Jacobo & Myers
Sophomore Cynthia Jacobo had a busy weekend in goal, leading the Matadors to their 2-1 victory over Pepperdine by making seven saves. Two days later, she made a career-high nine stops at UCLA. Earlier in the year, Jacobo had one save in the Matadors' 4-0 victory over Saint Joseph's to earn her first win of the season. In earning half a shutout in the process, Jacobo now has 5.5 shutouts for her career, tying April Cline for the fourth-most in CSUN history. For the season, Jacobo has a 1.82 goals-against-average, 28 saves and a .757 save percentage. Her 52 career saves ranks ninth in school history.
Hit Me Baby One More Time
Freshman Brittanie Sakajian picked up her team-leading second assist of the season in the Matadors' 2-1 victory over Pepperdine. Sakajian played a ball into the far corner that Sonia Espitia then played to Farryn Townley for the game's tying goal. Sakajian also enjoyed a solid performance against Saint Joseph's, recording her first career goal and assist in the match. She assisted on Farryn Townley's goal in the 81st minute and then tallied her own strike unassisted in the 85th minute. Her four points for the season are tied with Townley for the team lead.
Cardenas Transfers Talent to CSUN
Senior Desiree Cardenas picked up her first career game-winning goal in the Matadors' 4-0 victory over Saint Joseph's. In the 67th minute, Cardenas lined up a free kick that bent around the wall and over the goalkeeper's head for the first goal of the game and Cardenas' first of the season. Last season, Cardenas had two goals and two assists, her first campaign with the Matadors.
Brie All That You Can Brie
Junior Brielle Slepicoff scored her first goal of the season and second of her career in the Matadors' 4-0 victory over Saint Joseph's. She collected a cross from Melissa Fernandez and looped the ball over the goalkeeper's head in the 75th minute of action. Slepicoff, an All-Big West Honorable Mention selection in 2009, now has two goals, five assists and nine points for her career.
Catching Some Waves
The Matadors made some history in their 2-1 victory over Pepperdine, taking their first victory over the Waves in the program's history. Prior to the win, CSUN was 0-7-2 in nine opportunities against their neighbors from Malibu. Northridge needed some fortunate bounces to get the win after Farryn Townley tied the game at 1-1 in the 73rd minute. After pushing the pace in the 10 minutes following the goal, CSUN broke through when Brielle Slepicoff sent in a cross that was inadvertently headed into the net by a Wave defender in the 88th minute.

Yoga is supposed to be non-competitive and about each person's individual practice. Obviously, celebrities scoff at this. The yoga practice of the rich and famous will make you feel bad about your own inability to reach a full wheel and probably also about your beer belly. Making their practice private property, like everything else they touch, celebrities have commodified the ancient art of yoga.
But! It's not all bad news. While compiling this post we got SO inspired we had to take a break for a little vinyasa of our own. Downward dogs unite! From Hilaria Baldwin's yoga pose a day to Giselle's adorable yoga with her son; from Irina Shayk managing to make yoga look sexy as hell to Nina Dobrev contorting into shapes that would put Cirque du Soliel to shame, we've compiled a list of the celebrity yogis you should be following for yog-spiration.

Release date:
June 23, 2004
Release Number:
A summary of significant items and issues related to the FEMA/State recovery efforts following the May 5, 2004, major disaster declaration for flooding and severe storms:
- Sixteen North Dakota counties and the Spirit Lake Nation are included as part of the presidential disaster declaration for severe storms and flooding for the period March 26 through June 14. Damages to public infrastructure or emergency protective measures taken to respond to the storms must have occurred within this "incident period" to be eligible for federal reimbursement.
- Counties included as part of the disaster declaration are Benson, Bottineau, Burke, Cavalier, Grand Forks, Griggs, Mountrail, Nelson, Pembina, Ramsey, Renville, Steele, Towner, Traill, Walsh and Ward.
- To date, $430,000 in disaster Public Assistance has been obligated to 14 applicants for infrastructure repair and emergency protective measures. The federal share of $344,000 represents 75 percent of total assistance, with the remaining 25 percent coming from state and local governments.
- State teams have completed more than 20 percent of project worksheets associated with the disaster.
- More than 90 percent of project worksheets related to reimbursement for damages to Rural Electrical Associations also have been completed.
- North Dakota Emergency Management has requested a state-federal-local Preliminary Damage Assessment (PDA) for McHenry and Pierce Counties due to infrastructure damages relating to storms within the incident period to determine if damages are sufficient to designate these counties eligible for federal assistance under the current declaration. The PDAs are expected to be completed Friday, June 25.
- The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Tribe also requested a PDA scheduled to begin Monday, June 28. The Spirit Lake Nation was included under the original disaster declaration.
- Public Assistance and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program applicant briefings for Bottineau, Burke, Mountrail, Renville, Towner and Ward Counties were held Friday, June 18, at the Bottineau County Courthouse in Bottineau.
- Hazard Mitigation specialists have surveyed floodplain managers, county emergency managers and county commissioners in declared counties to determine if there are remaining issues concerning the National Flood Insurance Program, or with local floodplain management.
- A FEMA/State Disaster Field Office (DFO) was established May 7 in Bismarck at the Halkirk Building, 1605 East Capitol Avenue, to serve as an administrative office and processing center for recovery operations. There are currently 45 federal, state and contract employees based at the Bismarck DFO.
- On March 29, 2004, Governor John Hoeven issued a flood emergency declaration for 10 North Dakota counties and the Spirit Lake Indian Reservation. The declaration was upgraded to a disaster declaration on April 20, 2004 when Governor Hoeven requested President Bush issue a Major Presidential Disaster Declaration for North Dakota. Six northern counties were added on to the original declaration on June 9.
On March 1, 2003, FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. FEMA's continuing mission within the new department is to lead the effort to prepare the nation for all hazards and effectively manage federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates proactive mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration.
