The Feds Ease Antitrust Rules-Cautiously
Guglielmo, Wayne J., Medical Economics
A Denver IPA gets a go-ahead from the government to contract on behalf of members. Is this good news for physicians?
One of the Federal Trade Commission's jobs is to worry about anticompetitive behavior. So it's been no friend of physician collective bargaining. That's why health plan executives and physicians were surprised to learn that, in the middle of February, the FTC seemingly reversed course, albeit cautiously.
The reversal came in the form of a staff opinion letter issued in response to a request from a 432-member IPA in Denver. MedSouth wanted to develop a clinically integrated physician network to improve patient care and lower costs. Key to the plan: The ability to negotiate fee-for-service contracts with local health plans on behalf of members.
FTC staff agreed not to challenge the MedSouth program on antitrust grounds. Certainly, the agency will watch out for anticompetitive behavior. But for now at least, it's willing to let doctors experiment.
That's a new direction, so the decision has stirred reactions from other doctors and the HMO industry. What should you make of it?
Integration: Better cape and lower costs?
MedSouth's decision to integrate clinically is linked to its past financial difficulties with health plans.
Like other Denver physicians in the late 1990s, MedSouth members initially formed their IPA to establish risk-sharing contracts with local health plans. But for MedSouth, those contracts proved financially draining, so the IPA terminated them at renewal time. Some MedSouth members continued to contract individually with local plans at prevailing market rates. But others envisioned a different arrangement-practicing on a partially integrated basis with no risk sharing.
MedSouth officials put together a plan with three key mandates. First, deliver primary and specialty services in a coordinated fashion. Second, share clinical information, practice guidelines, and performance benchmarks. And third, develop a physician network to negotiate collectively with third-party payers. To help it integrate clinically, MedSouth struck a deal with a software developer interested in beta testing a new Web-based data system. If MedSouth would serve as guinea pig, the company would foot the bill for most of the development costs.
But MedSouth's Washington, DCbased attorney, Jeff Miles, was troubled by the government's relative silence on the subject of clinical integration as the basis for joint contracting. The last thing he wanted to do was run afoul of the FTC, which had already investigated other Denver physician networks for alleged antitrust violations.
Deciding to err on the side of caution, Miles and MedSouth officials solicited FTC staff input. On June 1, 2001, Miles sent out an advisory request.
Caution: The Feds will be watching
FTC staff responded in a letter addressed to Miles on Feb. 19 of this year.
As expected, the agency concluded that MedSouth's proposal to create a clinically integrated network could indeed. enhance quality and reduce costs. Given those potential benefits, the FTC said, it would not automatically reject the second part of MedSouth's proposal-joint negotiation of contracts-as per se illegal price-fixing.
But for the Denver doctors to get the green light, the FTC still had to conclude that MedSouth couldn't achieve its goals of better quality and lower costs without joint negotiation of contracts. …

Injured Bolt out until JuneComment on this story
Paris - Jamaican sprint king Usain Bolt, who has suffered a foot injury, will not race again until mid-June at the Ostrava meeting in the Czech Republic, his agent confirmed to AFP.
"At the moment, we have confirmed the presence of Usain at Ostrava, Paris and Malmo. We will announce other dates soon," said Ricky Simms.
The Ostrava meeting takes place on June 17 with Paris on July 5 and Malmo on August 5.
French sports daily L'Equipe reported on Friday that Olympic champion and world record holder Bolt had spent the last two weeks in Munich for treatment on his inflamed foot which has been bothering him for some weeks.
Despite the setback, Simms said that Bolt will still train from next week.

Venture Comparative Chart
Going back to the Venture, it's interesting to note that it has crossed above a down trendline on this 2.5-year weekly chart from John that also compares the CDNX with Gold and the CRB Index…theoretically, the trendline should now become new support…the Venture has been basing between 1220 and 1240 for the past 19 trading sessions…an important technical event to keep an eye on is a reversal to the upside in the 50-day moving average (SMA)….this hasn't occurred yet but appears to be close at hand…reversals in the 50-day were followed by major moves in 2009 and 2010, and two significant rallies in 2012…with the stabilization of the situation in the euro zone, a recovery in China, and central bank support from Japan to the United States, 2013 should be a positive year for commodities and the Venture Exchange…
Rumors Of The Death Of The Gold Bull Market Are Premature
According to some analysts, Gold's bull market is over…of course, that's a comment we've heard rather frequently every year for the last several years…Gold's recent inability to push through $1,700 an ounce has, however, definitely frustrated and concerned many traders and investors, but John has a long-term chart this morning that shows Gold's behavior at the moment is very similar to the 2008-2009 period when it struggled for six quarters to push decisively through the $1,000 barrier…throughout its 12-year bull market, Gold has found terrific support around its monthly SMA(12) where it's trading at now…patience is the key…keep in mind, too, that Gold is not trading much above the all-in costs of production for many companies…bullion is far from being in a "bubble"…many speculators and momentum players have left the scene for now, which has occurred from time to time over the last dozen years, but physical demand remains strong and the Fed's balance sheet has crossed the $3 trillion mark for the first time with no signs of slowing down…
Updated Silver Charts – Short-Term & Long-Term
As usual every Monday morning, John has updated charts for Silver…some short-term technical weakness came into the market last week, but the support band between $30.50 and $31 is very strong and we'd be surprised if Silver were to break below that…
Silver Short-Term Chart
Silver Long-Term Chart
There have been only a handful of occasions over the last several years when RSI(2) on the 15-year monthly Silver chart has fallen to 30% or less, one of them being just recently when Silver dipped briefly below $30…when you follow this indicator, it's hard to go wrong…RSI(2) has a clear pattern as it swings from overbought to oversold…what's it's telling us now, after bouncing off the 30 level, is that the downside risk at the moment is minimal…

Meridian Explorer DAC Extracts Best Possible Computer Music Experience
Meridian's new $299 Explorer digital-to-analog converter (DAC) utilizes technologies developed for the company's flagship 800 Series products in a form factor that allows a wide variety of computer audio users to enjoy a state-of-the-art digital audio listening experience.
The latest digital audio product to hit the market that allows homeowners to easily listen to music stored on their computers and web tablets is from a company that's been a leader in the engineering and development of digital audio technologies: Meridian Audio. Meridian's new Explorer digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is a small, space friendly and wallet friendly digital audio solution that consumers can use to extract the best possible listening experience from their computer and web tablets.
Meridian says the Explorer replaces their computers' internal sound cards via USB connectivity to allow listeners to play music stored on their Apple-, Microsoft- and Linux-based computers at data rates as high as 24-bit/192kHz. The Explorer incorporates asynchronous data transfer technologies that minimize digital clocking errors, as well as other technologies the British manufacturer has developed for its flagship 800 Series products to produce the best possible digital sound. Internally the DAC also incorporates a six-layer PCB board, separate low-jitter crystal oscillators for 44kHz and 48kHz sample rates, direct-coupled outputs, fixed and variable outputs to support direct connections headphones or stereo systems, and a digital optical output that supports data rates up to 96kHz.
The British-made DAC also features an industrial design that will complement the looks of Apple's desktop and laptop computers, as well as its iPad family of products. The slim DAC employs a metal enclosure with LED indicators that communicate the sample rate the unit is running at, and when connected to a powered USB hub, users can bring the DAC with them when traveling with their iPads to get CD-quality sound from the typically low-fi iCloud listening experience.
Meridian also points that that the Explorer is a plug-and-play upgrade for Apple users, and that PC owners can easily upgrade their computers to use the Explorer by downloading a driver.

'Unfortunately, the electronic viewfinder isn't particularly great. '
'This camera is basically a very solid point-and-shooter, producing great shots in good light but noisy ones in low-light '
'Build quality is, as you might expect for that sort of price, very good.'
'The SX1 IS is a great camera for those who don't want the bulk of an SLR but desire the flexibility of different shooting modes and customisable options, with a long lens.'
'images too low resolution'
'high-quality G-series lens'
'advanced compact camera'
'Colours were well saturated and objects appeared sharp: plus, you can use the full 20x optical zoom during filming.'
'Excellent feature set. '
'The S1500 isn't quite identical to last year's model though, because it has one very important feature that its predecessor lacked; the sensor-shift image stabilisation system previously seen on the FinePix S2000HD. '
'There is a lot to like about this camera and I think it offers fair value for money. '
'At full resolution, the Fuji S1500's shooting speed is a rather more pedestrian 1.4 frames per second. '
'pretty good camera'
'The EX-FH20's 20x optical zoom lens is absurd.'
'I did find the dioptric adjustment knob a little difficult to work, though, as it was so close to the viewfinder, and on the wrong side for a right-eye-dominant person like myself.'
'The EX-F1 is capable of ultra-high speed burst shooting at 60 fps and can record high speed movies at up to 1,200 fps, helping users catch each decisive moment, and even capturing motion that the human eye cannot ordinarily perceive.'
'Slow performance.'
'Other kit includes a pop-up flash unit that is great as a fill-in but a little underpowered as anything more major; there's no hot shoe so you're stuck with this.'
'noise-affected, blurry, dark images'
'an optical viewfinder is impractical too.'
'CNET Labs tests indoors under tungsten and fluorescent lights not only exhibited poor automatic white balance,'
'We increased the sensitivity to 400 ISO here and noise is certainly visible'
'The front-facing zoom lever is small and slow'
'a superb optical 3x zoom(equivalent to 35-105mm on a 35mm film camera) Lumix DC Vario lens, and bright 2.0-inch LCD.'

'From its sturdy and new 7000 Series aluminum, all the way to its incredibly svelte construction, it's indicative of a meticulously made smartphone. '
'Much faster speeds on Sprint than previous iPhones. '
'The 6S Plus is a great looking phone and it feels great in the hand.'
'Its design is intrusive and it demands fingers conform to its shape.'
'Higher degree of sophistication thanks to the new leather back. '
'The LG G4 is the follow-up to 2014's TrustedReviews Phone of the Year, the LG G3 and as such has a great deal to live up to.'
'From the pared-down user interface to the tight integration with Google to the strong camera performance, the G4 is a great phone... not to mention a very logical step forward from last year's G3. '
'The LG G4 isn't just a decent update to an already very good phone, it is now vastly improved with vastly superior imaging capabilities, improved battery performance and a beautifully refined display, which illustrates profoundly just why QHD, power hog that it is, is very much here to stay in flagship Android handsets. '
'Compact design.'
'While I may not be entirely sold on the design changes, using the Z5 Compact has been great. '
'The processor inside is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 which is a nice upgrade from the Z3 Compact which has a Snapdragon 801.'
'Elegant, waterproof design.'
'The Xperia Z5 is the best phone Sony has ever produced and it's up there as one of the best Android phones on the market right now. '
'In normal use, however, we found the Xperia Z5 to stay cool. '
'Holding a Sony Xperia Z phone is finally something people will be impressed by, that's only a good thing.'
' Sony's flagship Xperia Z5 is stuffed with a lot of the top tech we expect from a high-end phone. '
'Plenty of customizable options with Sense 7.0. '
'The M9 is an exceptional phone, but it's just not the best option out there. '
'However, this is still one of the best phones you can get and it just goes to show how far HTC has come in the last few years that we hold its products to such lofty standards. '
'All in all the HTC One M9 is a very desirable smartphone when held in the hand – easily one of the most desirable. '
'First, the IPS LCD display conjures up a maximum brightness output of 574 nits, enabling its screen to shine brightly under direct sunlight. '
'Excellent camera, especially in low light.'
'Apple is looking to reach a previously untapped audience of smartphone users - those who demand a large screen, with 'productivity' the main buzzword being thrown around.'
'Fantastic 5.5-inch screen'
'Rugged, water-resistant build.'
'The corners are extra-thick, too, and angled and reinforced to protect against smashed corners.'
'massive 3,500mAh battery'
'As a person who relies on her phone for every damn thing in her life, I think the Galaxy S6 Active is too bulky for me, my purse, and my pockets for daily use. '
'A big, surprisingly pleasant to hold handset that has certain issues.'
'Flagship-level specs.'
'The polycarbonate body is matte and soft to the touch and feels really sturdy.'
'Great front-facing camera with flash. '
'The Z1 is an honest smartphone — it doesn't try too hard, and comes out all the better for it — and it equals the OnePlus 2 as an almost willfully unfussy device. '
'Apart from the Apple resemblance, there aren't really any risky design decisions. '
'It's greedy to want more from a $300 phone with 64GB storage.'
'The Z1 is an honest smartphone — it doesn't try too hard, and comes out all the better for it — and it equals the OnePlus 2 as an almost willfully unfussy device. '
'The YotaPhone 2 has moved from technological curio to a phone we'd be happy to live with.'
'Dual-screened engineering marvel'
'Software bugs can cause ghosting issues with E Ink screen.'
'decent all-round specs'

Sheer Fit for all Weather Dose not fill like I am wearing a support slip. Thanks. February 3, 2015
It's nice but I love the look of the it but as far as controlling problem areas it really doesn't . It does work well as a slip and helps hide panty lines but it needs more support in the problem areas. January 29, 2015
Escellent fit! helps smooth out some of the bumps while still being comfortable. January 15, 2015

Hello again, fellow bicycle tourerers!
I am three weeks away from starting my TransAmerica tour (E->W) and I'm still trying to figure out how best to accomplish a "slight" detour from the main route. I'm flying out to Newport News (thanks for the plane ticket advice jamawani with a good friend of mine on May 4th. We are planning on picking up a third man at Valparaiso, Indiana..he's a student there..Thusly, I'm trying to figure out what the optimal path would be to get up there..
It seems like heading north at an angle about halfway through Kentucky would make sense, as we would still be advancing west while approaching Valparaiso, but I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not. The guy that I'll be riding with to get there thinks that we should just take a bus, but come on..this is a freaking bike tour.
Anyway. If the approaching Valparaiso at an angle idea holds water, would it work to return to the route in a similar fashion, except cutting through Illinois instead of Kentucky? ...Forming a delightful bicycle-touring detour triangle?
Any advice would be muchly appreciated.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - Longtime NFL wideout Keenan McCardell will be the receivers coach for the Washington Redskins.
McCardell was hired Tuesday as the replacement for Stan Hixon, who was not retained by new coach Mike Shanahan. Hixon was hired Monday as Buffalo Bills receivers coach.
McCardell caught 883 passes, 13th on the career list, over 17 seasons. He had his most productive stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars, but spent his final year as a player with the Redskins, catching 22 passes for 256 yards in 2007.
This is McCardell's first full-time coaching job in the NFL. He completed a Bill Walsh Minority Coaching Fellowship with the New York Giants during training camp in 2009 and last month coached receivers in the East-West Shrine Game.

Charlene Altemose, MSC
Artists, writers, and musicians have attempted to capture for us a glimpse of what they might be like. Philosophers, theologians, and clergy have surmised about their deeper importance within our faith-life. Yet most people still feel that angels are a mystery. The current popularity of angels is an enigma for many, including Sister Charlene Altemose. Like others, she asks, "Why is there a sudden interest in angels when the world seems so estranged from spiritual values?" Whatever the reason for their magnetic appeal, Altemose sees this interest as an opportunity to rediscover the role angels play in our lives. She invites us to explore four avenues that inform and inspire us toward a more familiar rapport with angels: Angels--A Mystery of Faith Angels in Tradition and Theology Angels in Human Imagination and Creativity Angels in Prayer and Human Experiences Paperback

Michael Reitz's back pain made it difficult for him to work, or even enjoy activities with his family. He lived in constant fear of having to walk too far, or even stand for too long, lest the pain flare up uncontrollably. After doing research on laser spine surgery, Michael got in touch with Dr. Solomon Kamson and the Spine Institute Northwest. "Dr. Kamson explained it step by step, told me what he was going to do and then pretty much went by the book," Michael says. "His staff knew exactly what to do … I would recommend him to anyone who has back problems." Watch Michael's story below.

Following a car accident, Lorraine Kuzior began experiencing pain and numbness so severe that she sometimes couldn't walk or even stand. She was falling down at work, and was in constant pain. A doctor recommended she get surgery, requiring a 7-10 hospital stay and 3 months of recovery! A friend told her about the Spine Institute Northwest, and she quickly got minimally invasive, outpatient surgery scheduled. Today, she's "astonished" at the results, and is back to doing her usual activities. "It's such a relief to become normal again," Lorraine says. Hear Lorraine in her own words below.

Before his laser spine surgery, Michael Shaffer couldn't even walk. Living and working on a farm, where he had to care for horses and other animals, it was impossible for him to do his job. Michael says all of his daily responsibilities had to be placed on his wife, which was a terrible burden. When he first saw Dr. Kamson at the Spine Institute Northwest, Michael could barely stand up. "He got me right into surgery, and in a few days he got me going again," says Michael. Today, Michael has very little pain and is back to work and enjoying being "normal" again. Watch Michael's story below.

Sissy Johnson's back pain was so bad she could barely walk, and was unable to do simple tasks such as washing dishes. A nerve in her back was smashed between two vertebrae. "When I finally came in (for surgery), I felt peace." After minimally invasive procedure at the Spine Institute Northwest, Sissy describes her recovery as "a miracle." "How do you say 'thank you' to someone for the use of your legs? I would recommend the Spine Institute Northwest to anyone." Watch Sissy's story below.

In 2005, Kole Finley was in a car accident. She injured her back, but physical therapy helped somewhat. Then, about a year ago, she was helping a friend move a couch, and her back spasmed. For the last year, her back pain continued to grow, to the point she was calling in sick to work every two weeks! See "a day in the life" of Kole's surgery, and how quickly she was enjoying life again, pain free! Watch Kole's story below.

As a former healthcare provider, I have worked with numerous physicians, nurses, and administrative staff. I am patient of Dr. Kamson and Spine Institute Northwest. In over 35 years, I have never seen a more dedicated group of healthcare providers. They are truly committed to "fixing" their patients, and have consistently performed well beyond what most would expect from their healthcare provider. The positive attitude, friendly environment, and knowledge is shared not only by the physicians, but also by the nursing and administrative staffs. As a patient, I have been amazed at the time, effort and compassion expressed by Dr. Kamson and his staff toward solving my problem. Although I live in a different city than their office, it has been well worth the effort to travel, in order to get the high-quality care that I needed. I have already recommended, and will continue to recommend to others that they should consider Spine Institute Northwest.

Betty Lou: Our experience with Spine Institute Northwest could not have been better. It's been a total blessing. We have experienced a life-changing surgery here. The moment we walked in the door, we were completely welcomed. Everyone was calm and collected. We had a hectic morning and some problems at the airport. But when we got here, every problem that we had, they took care of. It was just super relaxing and comfortable. Dr. Kamson is amazing. I did TONS of homework looking for just the right surgeon for my husband. He's had back surgery before… so after much, much, much homework, Spine Institute Northwest is where we ended up. And what a blessing! Don: I had back surgery in 1999, ever since then my back just hasn't been right. I have been living with pain for years. About a year ago I slipped on some ice at work and have been having more trouble with my back. I went to see another doctor and they gave me some injections. It helped a little bit but not much. The doctor wanted to fuse my back, and I didn't want that. So my wife started researching laser surgery and less invasive procedures. She found Spine Institute Northwest and since then it has just been unbelievable. Before I came here, I had shooting pain down my right leg all day long. I couldn't sleep at night. I could hardly stand up. It was unbearable. When I came in here, it was wonderful. Everyone treated me like family. They knew who we were, they told us exactly what to expect. They really cared. I got my MRI, the doctor reviewed it and told me what he was going to do. Then I had the procedure and I was awake the entire time, talking and going over everything. It was unbelievable. The recovery time was about a half hour. Then I got up and walked out the door. It was a life-changing experience. I'm so thankful for everybody here. I'm so glad I did it and I wish I could have gotten it done back in 1999. Watch the rest of the video below! Read more testimonials, or contact us today to see if we can help you.

I simply do not have the right words to express my thanks and gratitude to you all for the superb care that you gave my Dad this week. I would like to name each person we encountered & tell you a bit about how they contributed to our amazing experience. I will start from the moment we walked into the lobby; Leanne-You welcomed us with your warm personality and helpful demeanor. I knew right off that you were thoughtful and kind because you offered to bring the paperwork to my Dad and also to return to pick it up once he was done. Now this might seem like small thing, but to a person who has horrific back pain it was HUGE-it meant my Dad could sit and be comfortable & woldn't have to get up and down from the chair more than necessary. You also came and sat with me and checked on to make sure I was ok while waiting for Dad. Most offices don't have staff that do that-you are special and in doing so you helped put me at ease and just made me fee…
Andrea Daye, RN
I was fighting back problems for years, many surgeries. Trying to work I couldn't take the pain no more. My girlfriend contacted Dr. Kamson for me and set the appointment up. Ever since the first appointment Dr. Kamson and staff has taken the best care of me that I have ever dealt with. I don't know what I would do without them. I am working again and continuing on with my life. Thank you Dr. Kamson and staff for everything you've done for me. I recommend him to everyone I know.

In order to be successful you need very strong technical skills but you also need to be creative and go down roads others have not traveled. Thats where the most important part comes in. Simply put you also need the LUCK component. No matter how good you are technically if luck is not with you to fill in the blanks you still will fail. Sad but very true. I commend these guys for trying to think out of the box. It really is the only way to succeed in a mature basin. All the low hanging fruit has been picked. Its a very fine line in this business between hero and zero. I am pretty sure they are feeling the same as most of the posters on this board. They know the end is approaching and are probably trying to find the exit. The main problem is all the juniors are in the toilet with no end in sight for them. People love you if you succeed, God help you if you fail. I am pretty sure they have a certain amount of their own money in this venture as well. So they are feeling it.

Commission meeting will be interesting
When John Stanley of Corinth was setting the date and time for the Commission on Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks' July meeting, his first as chairman, he was working around some flight reservations. Sure hope he has some alternate travel plans.
The July 11 meeting that starts at 8:30 a.m. at the Jackson headquarters of the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks is expected to draw a full house. The hot topic of the day will be the Commission's Notice of Intent regarding the training of dogsproposed at the June meeting.
Issued primarily as a compromise between turkey hunters and raccoon hunters and coon dog trainers, the proposal included language that angered other dog-hunting groups. Not only did the proposed rules fail to satisfy the coon hunters, it infuriated others like retriver trainers and field trial/hunting test officials. Each group as contacted this writer announcing their intentions to speak at the hearing and fight against the proposal.
Ironically, two groups that 20 years ago were pitted against each other, have reorganized and are fighting on the same side of this issue. The Mississippi Landowners Association and the Mississippi Hunting Dog Association, once at war over hunting deer with dogs, have both immobilized in recent weeks. The landowners say the dog training issue is a property rights issue.
It should be interesting.

Earth's scientific community hasn't been represented too well in any of the Alien pictures. Perhaps it is intentional - to imply scientific laziness as a result of corporate greed.

Nonprofit gets around subprimes
House for sale
Bob Moon: What would you say if a member of the powerful Federal Reserve Board looked you in the eye and told you to jump?
Maybe "How high, sir?"
In the case of a pair of successful online banking tycoons, they snapped to attention, quit their lucrative jobs and started a nonprofit.
Their mission: Encouraging home ownership without throwing people to the subprime mortgage sharks. As part of our continuing coverage of entrepreneurship in America, David Brancaccio brings us a story on a different kind of loan option.
Lupe Rodriguez: Did you wash your hands already? Sink is over here! Where's your plate?
John Rodriguez: Thank you!
David Brancaccio: John and Lupe Rodriguez live with their three daughters in a nice four bedroom house in Ventura, California. John's a cable TV technician. And Lupe?
Lupe Rodriguez: And I work in the cafeteria. I serve and prepare breakfast and lunch for all the kids in school.
You're the lunch lady?
Lupe Rodriguez: Yes, I am.
Lupe Rodriguez looks more like maybe a licensed hair stylist and that turns out to be her second job.
Despite three jobs between them, getting the loan to buy their house was tough. Ten years ago, the Rodriguez's filed for bankruptcy, and since then they've mostly steered clear of debt.
John Rodriguez: After that happened, we kind of stayed away from the credit, at all. We just like, "OK, we want nothing to do with this until we know that we can be financially set." And throughout the years, we just kind of avoided it.
But avoiding debt has its downsides. You're a lot less likely to go bankrupt, but you probably won't have a decent credit score. People in this situation are called "thin file" borrowers. It could be they're new immigrants, young or just anxious about credit. And they don't have many options when it comes to applying for a loan.
John tried to go the subprime route. A broker offered him a $600,000 mortgage with low starter payments if he was willing to, get this, fake his income on the loan documents. John got himself out of there.
John Rodriguez: No. I knew my reality. I can't afford that.
Instead, he set his sights on a more modest $400,000 home in his old neighborhood north of L.A., but he still needed help with the financing. So, he went to a nearby home ownership center called Cabrillo, where he had a real stroke of luck.
John Rodriguez: I went to Cabrillo and they told me what to do. And, it was about a total of 90 days of a rollercoaster ride.
The ride was courtesy of a pilot project by a company called Just Price Solutions. The scheme was dreamt up by a pair of online banking pioneers -- Bob Fickas and Brian Cosgrove -- to offer borrowers with shaky credit an alternative to subprime mortgages.
Fickas and Cosgrove teamed up with a small but very successful government agency called Neighborhood Housing Services of America. NHSA uses independent counselors to see who's a good bet for a mortgage. Fickas says he liked that idea.
Bob Fickas: You would never let people drive a car without driver training, why let 'em have their first home without counseling?
And NHSA taps dozens of public, private and non-profit sources for money. But its service is low-tech and local, so getting a loan can take months or more. Just Price Solutions puts NHSA funding, counselors and lenders into the same online network. Now, the counselors have immediate access to every source of funding, from grants to complex mortgages. Fickas says now even someone with no credit score could get a loan right away.
Fickas: The government dollars mixed with philanthropic or corporate dollars can all work together in a more effective way. And it's just, on paper its very simple. It's just synergy.
John Rodriguez's counselor checked the family's incomes and savings, and helped them build a credit score. Rodriguez had to prove he paid their bills on time.
John Rodriguez: Everything that we make a monthly payment to. Said, "If you guys can get a letter from them giving us a payment history, we can use that as a credit."
With this new credit, JPS pre-approved a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. In less than three months, they were in their new home. Each daughter got a room to decorate.
Think Dodger blue with a three-foot team insignia in the middle.
John Rodriguez: She's definitely wanted this for years and years, and renting, we couldn't do this!
John and his family are delighted, of course, but not everyone likes the idea of pushing home ownership so widely. Dean Baker's an economic at the Center for Economic and Policy Research. He says it's time to recognize that it's a bad idea for lower income families to stretch themselves financially.
Dean Baker: If we're talking about spending more money on housing costs than necessary, that's coming at the expense of health care for their kids, of, you know, getting good food, child care. I mean, you know, this comes at the expense of something. It's not free.
John Rodriguez admits that his monthly payments are slightly higher than his rent used to be. But he says it's worth every penny.
John Rodriguez: I think the pride that you get along with it and the things that you're able to do, you know, with your own home, it pays for it.
His spell in bankruptcy years ago and the counseling with JPS have taught him the most important thing.
John Rodriguez: It's an easy balance. As long as you keep all your finances straight. You know, so that you don't put yourself in any jeopardy.
In Ventura, California, I'm David Brancaccio for Marketplace.
Moon: By the way, our longtime friend Mr. Brancaccio is host of Now on PBS, and his in-depth television report on this new approach to mortgage lending appears on many PBS stations tonight.

Giesler, Keeny
Probate Record for Adam Giesler Sr.
Adams Co., Pennsylvania Probate Court Records
Book E, pg. 142-143, Will #2433 (film #020678)
Adam Giesler Sr. wrote the following Last Will and Testament in Sullivan Co., TN on 17 Oct 1818. In the will, Adam named his wife Anna and children and directed his son John Giesler and Joseph Wm. Looney as executors. A Frederick Cole and Adam's son Jacob Giesler witnessed the will. In this will Adam leaves his remaining land to youngest sons, Jacob and Samuel and directs Jacob to care for Anna. He directs his sons John and Adam to pay monies to their sisters. Magdalena, who was named in the will of Anna's father, John Keeny, is not named in this will and it's presumed she died before this time. The grandson, Adam Giesler, named in this will and also in the will of John Keeny, has never been identified, however only Adams's son John Giesler would have been married long enough by 1818 to have this son.
Letters of Testimony were issued and a copy of the will entered into probate on the 3rd Monday of February 1821 in Sullivan Co., TN.
Copies of these documents were made by Richard Netherland, Clerk of the Court in Blountville, TN on 19 June 1832 presumably for the executors or their lawyer to file in Adams Co., PA and collect the monies owed by Solomon Becker to the Adam Giesler estate from the sale of his property there in 1814.
Some time elapsed before the documents were filed in the court records in Adams Co., PA. On 4 Nov 1844 the Registrar Wm. King of Adams Co., PA added his memorandum to the copies of the Tennessee will and letter of testimony and entered all into the Adams Co., Probate Book E, pg. 142, directing Joseph Kuhn to present an inventory within one year's time or before.
Joseph J. Kuhn must have already taken the inventory, for he filed an inventory account on the goods and chattels of Adam Gisler, dec'd on showing the schedule of payments that should have been made by Solomon Becker totalling $886.66. This is also dated 4 Nov 1844.
Research on site in the Adams Co., PA court records found that Solomon Becker not only did not pay Adam Giesler this money, but he also failed to pay his taxes on the land. The farm had been sold for back taxes and so the inheritance owed the Giesler heirs in Tennessee and Missouri was lost.

John Giesler Sr. migrated to Missouri in 1837, settling in Crawford County (later Maries County). He's said to have died about 1846 without a will and his estate went into probate in the Crawford Co. courts naming his heirs. It's very possible he died suddenly possibly enroute to or from trying to collect the debt in Pennsylvania.

Do you have mild to moderate cat allergies? Reduce your dependence on prescription antihistamines by trying some herbs with an anti-allergy affect. Stinging nettle works well. Licorice root, lobelia, eyebright, cayenne, horehound, fenugreek, and mullein also have anti-allergy effects.

|Palgrave Macmillan
English language teaching textbooks (or coursebooks, as they are sometimes known) play a central role in the life of a classroom and in many contexts constitute the syllabus the teacher is expected to follow. However, there is a need to extend and strengthen research in this area. Following a substantial state-of-the-art survey of research on ELT textbooks and a discussion of appropriate methods to study them, this volume contains chapters focusing on: 1. analysis of textbook content; 2. how textbooks are used in the English language classroom, and 3. textbook writers' accounts of the materials writing, design, and publishing process.
Written by an international cast of teachers and textbook writers working in the UK, the USA, Japan, Spain, New Zealand, and Saudi Arabia, this volume features a balance of theory and practice and refers to both general English and English for Academic Purposes (EAP) textbooks used around the world.

Tiberian Sun Rising is a total conversion modification for Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars, which see's the return of the Global Defense Initiative and the Brotherhood of Nod battling it out during the the Second Tiberum War! retelling Tiberian Sun like never before.
A Whole New Tiberian Sun!
Not just a remake, but Tiberian Sun Rising is the next evolution of Tiberian Sun! Its time you saw the future, while you still have human eyes! Having been redesigned from the ground up to include all the things you love from Tiberian Sun, with new features, abilities, units and gameplay better then ever. We take the mindset that this is the first time Tiberian Sun is being made as an originale game as a design concept/mindset for our development.
This mod will include the additions made in the expansion Firestorm as well they will make a return with a new spin. This mod promise's to do alot and we'll be bringing back the thing's you love from Tiberian Sun like. Stealth technology, Real Tiberium, Subtterain Units the Firestorm Defense system and more!
Battle the Elements!
One of the most exciting feature's we'll be including is a dynamic growing Tiberum environment which mutates the battlefield as it spreads! You could start on a map with not much tiberium at all, and finish the battle with Vein Holes, Ion Storms and more all occuring! So watch out!
We're now on Facebook! Show us some love at the official TS Rising facebook page
Welcome Back Commanders!
We do indeed LIVE! Rumors of our defeat have been greatly exaggerated and are merely propaganda spread by the great oppressor. We've been back in development for some time now we apologize for the delay in bringing you up to date with our progress. We have some very exciting developments coming up that we can't wait to share with you and we praise your continued support, loyalty and faith in this project. We make this for you the fans your continued support, input, feedback and even criticisms (keep them constructive please) means everything to us and we thank you. I'd also like to thank my fellow team members both new and old for their hard work and continued support that combined with our amazing fans is what keeps driving us forward!
Its time you saw the future, while you still have human eyes!
Kind regards,
-The Tiberian Sun Rising Team
We've been monitoring Nod's activity for just over a Year now and the situation appeared to be settling down until recently. But now we're seeing more activity's among the splintered factions of Nod the stage seems set for another power battle among high ranking officers fighting for power within the Brotherhood. We're bringing you back on Active duty Commander we need you to gather more intelligence on the current situation and we'll be briefing you on the latest developments get you up to speed.
Years of research & development have paid off there has been a breakthrough in our defensive technologies and it is now been added to your arsenal Commander approved for testing under battle conditions, we're calling it the "Firestorm Defense Shield". The system is made up of two components the "Firestorm Generator" and the "Firestorm Wall Sections". GDI Commanders are recommended to deploy Firestorm Wall Sections forming a perimeter around the entire base these are reasonably flat
surfaces vehicles & infantry can easily traverse over when inactive. For activation the Firestorm Generator requires a surplus amount of a base's power reserves so additional power plants are recommended to ensure no defense or manufacturing structures are affected. Once activated the Firestorm Generator generates an impenetrable barrier across the Firestorm Wall Sections that will
destroy any aircraft, missiles, projectiles trying to pass through the field
this includes any vehicles or organic matter as well.
This is a very effective counter-measure against the Brotherhood's Missile strikes when an EVA unit detects an incoming Missile activating the Firestorm Defense Shield will protect the area enclosed by the Firestorm Walls. The system does have its draw backs however the Firestorm Generator can only
stay active for a limited period of time requiring time to cool-down and recharge its priming capacitors. It is important to take note that friendly aircraft also cannot pass through the field and you should be mindful of Nod's subterranean vehicles that could bypass the field by travelling under it and surfacing in your base we recommend keeping Mobile Sensor Array's deployed to detect any subterranean activity in the area.
We have new Intel on Nods activity Our satellites managed to capture these image's before Nod forces managed to set up a Stealth Generator in the area. Intelligence from our source within a Brotherhood faction reveal this is a new Armored Personnel Carrier redesigned as a subterranean troop carrier. The vehicle can dig underground and travel vast distances making it much more difficult to track Nod's troop movements or predict where they may emerge. Deploying pavement across your base's should be sufficient to stop these Subterranean APC's from surfacing however this has been untested and we've yet to see if Nod have any surprises for us in this regard our source has been known to withhold information in the past. We'll keep you informed as we gather more information about this discovery as we learn more.
In this months update we've got the G.D.I. jump-jet trooper, Nod infantry and our new Ion cannon FX. Hope you all like them. Yggdrasil out.
This month's update shows you the mighty Disruptor and the sneaky Assault Cycle.
It's been a while since our last proper update, but never fear we're still working hard and getting ever closer to a release. Today we release the harpy...
Today for your inspection we have the latest generation of the Brotherhoods AA base defence, the SAM site, as well as a look at one of Nods most lethal...

ahhh no update for nearly a month =O
In The First Tiberian War, the side bar is all wiggy and confused me greatly. IMHO, I believe the bar at the bottom of the screen suits the engine much better than the side bar.
BGRacer: As far as I know, both the chem missiles and tiberium veins should be ingame. You might want to ask one of the staff members though.
I don't know if anyone else has asked this, but will the Orca Transport and Dropship be in Tiberian Sun Rising? If so, wil the Orca Transport only carry Infantry and will the Dropship be able to carry both infantry and vehicles?
It seems you do the mod pretty well. I love the models and their skins. You say that you've updated the code of the Tiberium and will make less lag. The code in TFTW made little problems. My system is not high end but as i played TFTW it handled very well even on games longer than hour. When you develop the mod make sure production times are the same as they were in TS. When speaking of production the lifetime question for ZH mods converting it to the CnC universe - The Conyard system :) As I know it's hard to implement it but you have a great base. Have you made the AI to accpet it?
Hey and what about chem missiles and the Veinhole monster? Will there be harvestable weed?
do you have a demo ???
so the mod is not dead :D
*CABAL: Command Presence Acknowledged*
*CABAL: Intellegence reports a signal is coming from our Temple in Sarajevo*
*CABAL: Intercepting Signal*
Sorry for the slow response guys my move to the UK left me without internet for a short while thats getting fixed up this weekend ;).
To answer your question we've done and will continue to do extensive performance tests with Tiberian Sun Rising. To ensure the smoothest gameplay possible for all players, the current build runs quite smoothly.
ModToaster, of course once its released we want to make distribution and installation of the mod as simple as possible.
Thankyou, any more queries/feedback are welcome anytime
*CABAL: Battle Control Offline*
nice mod keep going
One question.
In what way is Generals slow?
I have both games and can honestly say that Generals is far faster to play than Tiberian Sun. Especially on the other difficulty modes. Although the strategies in Generals take time to set up, they execute with great speed. If you're not fast enough in taking out objectives in an attack, the attack can fail miserably. The same thing goes for Tiberian Sun, but at it's speed, it is fast. I dunno, I'm just tired of people dissing Generals. No it's not the standard Command & Conquer, hence why it is separate in gameplay story.

Former California Governor Jerry Brown, now the state's attorney general, is vowing to sue cities and counties that do not take climate change into consideration during general plan updates.
"Brown insisted that the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires local governments to consider how land-use plans and development projects could contribute to climate change. And he warned that attorneys in his office are reviewing and commenting on environmental impact reports for the plans and projects. His office will sue local governments that don't take the comments seriously, Brown said.
However, one of the state's leading land use attorneys questioned Brown's approach. Stephen Kostka conceded that planners must consider the consequences of plans, but he argued that CEQA is the wrong tool for addressing the issue of climate change. Land development does not cause greenhouse gas emissions; it's economic growth, population growth and human activity that cause the emissions, he contended."

SalvadorHD Closed Captioning
Oliver Stone
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download this movie.
Plot Summary
James Woods gives his "fullest, most humane, most emotional performance"(New York Magazine) to date in this "gritty, harrowing and bold thriller"(Gannett Newspapers). It's 1980. Young men, women and children are being brutally killed in a bloody civil war in El Salvador. It's a horrific setting...but a perfect one for Richard Boyle, a sleazy war photojournalist whose career needs a jumpstart. Armed with his camera, Boyle joins the front lines in an attempt to capture atrocious-but-valuable images of pain and horror. But with each picture he takes, he catches a tragic side of humanity that ignites his long-buried compassion. And he unexpectedly discovers something that will change him forever: his soul.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Salvador is long and disjointed and tries to tell too many stories...But the heart of the movie is fascinating.
Fresh: The polemic may seem obvious and at times laboured, but the action sequences are brilliant, and the film does achieve a brutal, often very moving, power.
Fresh: An emotional and political sledgehammer.
Customer Reviews
True and fantastic!
These is one of the best movies about journalism! Combined with UNDER FIRE it shows the truth about the civil wars in central america. A real Oliver Stone film, with great cast and outstanding James Woods in one of his best roles he ever played.

More of an urban resort and convention center than a mere hotel, with glass elevators gliding smoothly up and down a 15-story central atrium, the Rey Juan Carlos is a surprisingly affordable American-style ziggurat. The lush garden adjacent to the main building has an Olympic-size swimming pool, a pond with swans, and a superb spa. The elegant rooms have gorgeous wood doors, brass fixtures, and bathrooms appointed in marble, with spectacular walk-in showers. What's more, the Royal Polo Club of Barcelona is just a few minutes' walk away.

Updated: May 25, 2011, 5:42 PM ETAssociated Press
