"Under the pretext of 'equalizing burdens' and preventing 'salary discrimination,' Obamacare mandates that insurance premiums must be based on the policyholder's income level — forget the objective value of the services covered or the health liability of the individual insured," reports Richard Ralston, executive director of Americans for Free Choice in Medicine. "But since the actuarial nature of insurance and the realities of long-term cost management cannot be ignored, the effect is that those with above-average incomes will be subjected to inflated premiums relative to costs."
In other words, ObamaCare is just another way for President Obama to achieve his goal of redistributing income and wealth. As candidate Obama, seeking to justify his redistributionist proposals for higher levels of government confiscation of higher incomes, made clear in 2008 to plumber Joe Wurzelbacher, "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everyone."

[This part four of a four-part article. Click here for part 1, part 2, and part 3]
By the time The Silencers was in theaters, producer Irving Allen was already kicking off production on the next Matt Helm film. Originally planned to be The Ambushers, for whatever reason (and not that it mattered, given how thin the connection between books and movies was) Allen moved things around, and Murderers' Row became the second Matt Helm movie. Although I can't imagine any fan of Donald Hamilton's books holding out hope that the movies would be anything like the novels after the drunken hijinks of The Silencers, it still must have given readers pause to hear that Murderers' Row was the next to get the swingin' cocktail treatment. The fifth book in the series, published in 1962 immediately after The Silencers, it is among the bleakest and angriest of the Helm stories.

|Hall of Legends Event Honors Avery Citizens
|Written by Lindsey M. Johnson
|Friday, 13 April 2012 08:02
A very special celebration honoring ten of Avery County's best-known citizens will take place on Sunday, June 24th at 4:00 p.m. at the new Hugh Chapman Center for Families. The Center, part of the Williams YMCA of Avery County and located on the campus of Cannon Memorial Hospital in Linville,
will be the setting for the first Martha Guy Hall of Legends gala and the permanent home for the Hall of Legends. The honored citizens to be inducted into the Hall of Legends this year are the ten people named Centennial Citizens for Avery County's 100th birthday last year: John Blackburn, Addie Barrier, Tommy Burleson, Bertie Burleson, Sam Ray, Sam Cartner, Rachel Deal, Martha Guy, Sherman Pritchard, and Juanita Shoemaker. Tickets for the function must be purchased prior to the event. There will be no admissions at the door. Banquet seating, limited to 150 people, will be available in the Great Hall for $50 per person. There will also be buffet seating available for $25 per person. For more information and to purchase tickets, contact Lindsey Johnson or DeLee Scott at the Williams YMCA of Avery County at (828) 737-5500.
Over the last year, dedicated community leaders and interested citizens have partnered with the YMCA staff members and board of directors to bring the Hall of Legends to fruition. The group chose the new Chapman Center as the location for the Hall of Legends permanent display, which will be expanded as new inductees are added each year.
The Hall of Legends was named in honor of local philanthropist, benefactor, and former banker, Martha Guy.
"Martha Guy is a very well-known family entrepreneur who has impacted many people's lives through her bank," said Dr. Jim Richardson, YMCA Executive Director. "I've had people from all walks of life in Avery County tell me what she has done for them during their times of need. She is very well known and very respected in this county. It seemed appropriate to name the Hall of Legends after a lady who is truly a legend."

Faculty psychologists to study effects of deployment on military families' lives
A new study, being conducted by Adam D. Brown, PhD and Kim T. Ferguson, PhD, psychologists at Sarah Lawrence, aims to examine whether families that know more about the events that took place in each other's lives during deployment will exhibit better psychological and behavioral wellbeing. Based on findings from studies of non-military families, that the researchers reviewed extensively, Brown and Ferguson say that although efforts are being made to address the psychological challenges facing military families there is a major gap in understanding how families talk to each other about the time that they were separated. Like other programs aimed at teaching skills to ease the transition to civilian life, Brown and Ferguson believe their data will inform the development of programs to help guide family conversations around this issue. It is their hope that the findings of this study will shed light on how certain ways of discussing deployment can ease the transition from combat to civilian life and strengthen the entire military family.

Target CO2
Secondly, although many forcings can be derived from paleo-records (long-lived greenhouse gases from bubbles in the ice cores most notably), many cannot. The distribution of sulphate aerosols even today is somewhat uncertain, and at the last glacial maximum, almost completely unconstrained. This is due in large part to the heterogenity of their distribution and there are similar problems for dust and vegetation. In some sense, it is the availability of suitable forcing records that suggests what kind of sensitivity one can define from the record. A more subtle point is that the 'efficacy' of different forcings might vary, especially ones that have very different regional signatures, making it more difficult to add up different terms that might be important at any one time.
Lastly, and by no means leastly, Earth System sensitivity is not stable over geologic time. How much it might vary is very difficult to tell, but for instance, it is clear that from the Pliocene to the Quaternary (the last ~2,5 million years of ice age cycles), the climate has become more sensitive to orbital forcing. It is therefore conceivable (but not proven) that any sensitivity derived from paleo-climate will not (in the end) apply to the future.
We've often gone over the Charney sensitivity constraint for the Last Glacial Maximum. There is information about the greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O), reconstructions of the ice sheets and vegetation change, and estimates of the dust forcing. A recent estimate of the magnitude of these forcings is around 8 +/- 2 W/m2 (Schneider von Deimling et al, 2006). This implicitly includes other aerosol changes or atmospheric chemistry changes in with the sensitivity (or equivalently, assumes that their changes are negligible). So given a temperature change of about 5 to 6ºC, this gives a Charney sensitivity of around 3ºC (ranging from 1.5 to 6 if you do the uncertainty sums).
Hansen suggests that the dust changes should be considered a fast feedback as well (as could the CH4 changes?) and that certainly makes sense if vegetation changes are included on the feedback side of the equation. Since all of these LGM forcings are the same sign (i.e. they are all positive feedbacks for the long term temperature change), that implies that the Earth System sensitivity must be larger than the Charney sensitivity on these timescales (and for this current geologic period). So far so good.
Hansen's first estimate of the Earth System sensitivity is based on an assumption that GHG changes over the long term control the amount of ice. That gives a scaling of 6ºC for a doubling of CO2. This is however problematic for two reasons; first most of the power of this relationship is derived from when there were large N. American and European ice sheets. It is quite conceivable that, now that we are left with only Greenland and Antarctica, the sensitivity of the temperature to the ice sheets is less. Secondly, it subsumes the very special nature of orbital forcing – extreme regional and seasonal impacts but very little impact on the global mean radiation. Hansen's estimate assumes that an overall cooling of the same magnitude of the LGM would produce the same extent of ice sheets that was seen then. It may be the case, but it is not a priori obvious that it must be. Hansen rightly acknowledges these issues, and suggests a second constraint based on longer term changes.
Unfortunately, prior to the ice core record, our knowledge of CO2 changes is much poorer. Thus while it seems likely that CO2 decreased from the Eocene (~50 million years ago) to the Quaternary through variations related to tectonics, the exact magnitude is uncertain. For reasonable values based on the various estimates, Hansen estimates a ~10 W/m2 forcing change over the Cenozoic from this alone (including a temperature-related CH4 change). The calculation in the paper is however a little more subtle. Hansen posits that the long term trend in the deep ocean temperature in the early Cenozoic period (before there was substantial ice) was purely due to CO2 (using the Charney sensitivity). He then plays around with the value of the CO2 concentration at the initiation of the Antarctic ice sheets (around 34 million years ago) to get the best fit with the CO2 reconstructions over the whole period. What he ends up with is a critical value of ~425 ppm for initiation of glaciation. To be sure, this is fraught with uncertainties – in the temperature records, the CO2 reconstructions and the reasonable (but unproven) assumption concerning the dominance of CO2. However, bottom line is that you really don't need a big change in CO2 to end up with a big change in ice sheet extent, and that hence the Earth System sensitivity is high.

Secondary scoring: Check.
Contributions from the defense: Check.
Puck movement on the power play: Check.
Victory at home: Check.
It was nearly a perfect night in New York as the Rangers defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 7 - 4 in their final home game before the Thanksgiving holiday.
The crisp city air wasn't the only chilling thing in the city.
The Rangers began the game ice-cold, allowing the Blue Jackets to gain a two goal lead midway through the first period. It seemed like another night in which the Rangers would have to be playing catch-up due to some poor defensive coverage down low.
Derek MacKenzie opened the scoring after Matt Gilroy got out-muscled in the corner by Jared Boll.
Boll, who was one of the lone factors for Columbus in the game, struck again, this time scoring a goal of his own.
That's when Head Coach John Tortorella took over.
Rather than a tirade-filled timeout, Tortorella was very concise in rallying his team.
"It was good to have a break, that is for sure," said goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who finished with 26 saves.
Scorer Marian Gaborik took that break and got the Rangers back into the game, scoring a one-timer in the slot off a pin-point pass from Vinny Prospal from behind the net.
The goal began a major scoring effort that ultimately iced the Blue Jackets.
think the first goal was huge," said Lundqvist. "To get that in the first period and not go
in here trailing 3-0. We needed some positive energy and we got that from
#10 (Marian Gaborik). After that, you could see how we got confidence."
That goal proved to be the turning point of the game, and possibly the Rangers' slump, as they went on to score another six straight goals.
Gaborik and Wade Redden connected on a tip-in goal by Artem Anisimov to tie the game two minutes later. Then, with Hall of Fame defenseman Brian Leetch in attendance, Mike Del Zotto saw a lane from the neutral zone and skated in, rifling a wrist shot to the far side on Columbus goaltender Mathieu Garon, reminiscent of Leetch's many goals on Broadway.
The Rangers took the 3 - 2 lead into the first intermission, but continued the scoring prowess in the second, with three goals early on in a span of 1:11.
Sean Avery began the on-slaught with back-to-back goals after a 16 game drought. His first was a sneaky wrap around play on the power play that needed a goal review to confirm what the solo-celebrating Avery already knew.
Then, a few moments later, he took a 2-on-1 pass from Gaborikand buried it in the short side.
And Gaborik wasn't finished.
Chris Higgins forced a turnover at the offensive blueline and found Gaborik alone in the slot. The Slovakian sniper outlasted now-goalie Steve Mason for the Rangers' sixth goal.
P.A. Parenteau would center a pass along the boards near the red line to Matt Gilroy who went in on a breakaway to finish the Rangers scoring.
Columbus added a couple goals in the third, but never threatened the rest of the game.
"The biggest thing was coming back from a two goal
deficit," said Avery. "I think regardless of what the score was, coming back and winning a
game after you're losing 2-0 is big for a team that has been struggling. I hope
it puts everybody around here in a good mood and the guys can go to Florida
just feeling good and be able to not clench the stick as hard and just make
some plays."
While the team effort was more apparent, credit still must go to the go-to guy, Gaborik who finished with two goals and two assists for four points.
"We had a good forecheck and we kept playing in their
zone which was important," said Gaborik. "Our defensive side of the game was good. We're
talking about having the third guy coming back and being responsible
defensively and I think we did that. It has to carry over on the road. We
haven't had a long trip in a while so we have to build on this and just go from
The Rangers head to Florida with a re-match against the Florida Panthers tomorrow night and a contest in Tampa Bay on Friday.

On Thursday, July 7, the éS team kicks off off their two week Tri-X Trip in Santa Cruz, CA at Skateworks and Bill's Wheels.
They will be accompanied by photographer Joe Brook through San Francisco, Eugene, Portland, Olympia and Seattle.
Joe will also host photo shows at FTC in San Francisco and Goods in Seattle and give out a limited number of his new book, which chronicles, in photos, his travels and his relationship with éS through the years.
The Tri-X Trip is named after a classic high-speed black-and-white film from Kodak that Joe Brook fancies.
"A lot of people use Tri-X, but it's my personal favorite," says Joe. "Many of the photos in the show and book have been shot over many years of being on the road with the éS team. It shows the past and present riders of the éS team."
"When Scuba Steve called me and asked if I wanted to do a shoe with éS, I instantly said "yes". I always wear the Accel and the Square Two is the new slim version of that shoe. I picked the waxed canvas because I always wear suede and I wanted this shoe to look a little different than all the other ones out there. I grew up working construction, so the material reminds me of that. It looks tough, yet very clean. I'm super hyped and it's an honor to get a shoe."
If you can't make it out to meet the team and see Joe's photos and his Square Two colorway, follow the tour on:
