HHS granted the waivers, Bloomberg writes, "so workers with such plans wouldn't lose coverage from employers who might choose instead to drop health insurance altogether." http://usat.ly/dw3QWp
Healthcare reform takes stage in New Hampshire Senate race: The Democrat vying to replace outgoing Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) is accusing his GOP opponent of hypocrisy for her support of health reform repeal.
Rep. Paul Hodes (D) notes that Republican Kelly Ayotte received taxpayer-funded health coverage during her time as state attorney general. Why then, Hodes asked reporters Wednesday, doesn't she support it for others?
"Kelly Ayotte thinks it's OK for her to get subsidized health care and to have help from a government body to have health care but it's not OK for [others]," Hodes said, according to The Associated Press.
Ayotte spokesman Jeff Grappone fired back, telling the AP that, "There's a major difference between Hodes' push for government-run health care and a state worker's employer-sponsored health benefits." http://bit.ly/9RsJCp
Alaska governor accused of hindering health reform: A Democratic state senator in Alaska charged this week that the Republican governor's distaste for the new healthcare law is impeding efforts to install the reforms.
State Sen. Hollis French (D) wrote a letter to GOP Gov. Sean Parnell Tuesday saying precisely as much.
"Your opposition to the law should not result in damaging the health of your constituents, their pocketbooks, or the pocketbook of the state," French wrote, according to The Associated Press.
Alaska, for instance, hasn't applied for a $1 million grant to help launch its health exchange, French notes, nor has it gone after another $1 million grant to help state regulators monitor premium hikes, AP writes.
Rachael Petro, deputy commissioner of the state Department of Administration, denied that the governor's office is stalling for political reasons.
"We are not dragging our feet," she told AP. "It's taking a lot of energy and effort by our team here to make sure that we're following the law." http://bit.ly/97RPFQ
Top Dems urge HHS to rein in Medigap premium hikes: In a Wednesday letter to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, a trio of leading Senate Democrats called on the agency to protect seniors in Medigap plans from being hit with "excessive" premium hikes.
"We are hearing disturbing stories from beneficiaries across the country about excessive premium increases for Medigap supplemental insurance policies," Sens. Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Max Baucus (D-Mont) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) wrote. The stories, they added, raise "serious concerns about premium-setting practices and rate review procedures in place for Medigap policies."
Although the new health reform law includes $250 million for states to monitor premium rate changes, the reviews don't explicitly cover Medigap plans, the lawmakers note. The Democrats are asking HHS to "work with Governors and State Insurance Commissioners to help them gain this authority where it does not exist today."
The lawmakers are also requesting "a study of Medigap trends and costs to provide a benchmark against which proposed rates can be measured." http://bit.ly/ciqYqy
What's the cost to launch healthcare.gov? About $8.7 million so far, Time Magazine reported Wednesday. HHS says that about a quarter of the money went into the website design, while the rest was used to gather and sort the data contained on the site, Time writes.
"We expect that this increased transparency will help promote accountability for insurers and inspire robust competition in the insurance marketplace," an HHS spokeswoman told Time in an email. http://bit.ly/9pRpPT
In West Virginia, Manchin sues the Obama administration over mountaintop removal mining: Gov. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), the candidate to replace the late-Sen. Robert Byrd (D), sued the Environmental Protection Agency Wednesday over EPA's efforts to rein in mountaintop removal coal mining.
Unknown in most of the country, mountaintop removal — in which companies blast away mountain peaks and push the debris into adjacent streams — is popular in Appalachia because it saves coal companies money on both trucking and labor. http://bit.ly/2Hvq3G
But it's also ravaged neighboring communities by poisoning wells and waterways, contaminating air, killing off wildlife and flooding nearby homes. Recent research indicates that people living near streams poisoned by mines are at higher risk of getting cancer. http://bit.ly/cFREkj
Aiming to reduce those destructive effects, the EPA in April proposed strict new limits on the toxins mining companies can dump into streams. http://bit.ly/9Cexkt
Manchin on Wednesday said those would curb mining at the expense of jobs and the economy. http://bit.ly/bCJfKG
"We are asking the court to reverse EPA's actions before West Virginia's economy and our mining community face further hardship and uncertainty and weaken the strength of this country," Manchin told reporters.
Manchin on Wednesday was quick to invoke Byrd, even holding aloft a copy of the Constitution, as Byrd was known to do, to justify the suit. But whether or not Byrd would have approved of Manchin's move is another story.
In the last year of his life, Byrd abruptly altered his position on mountaintop removal, shifting from strong supporter to an unlikely critic.
"The industry of coal must also respect the land that yields the coal, as well as the people who live on the land," Byrd wrote in an op-ed in the local press in May.
"If the process of mining destroys nearby wells and foundations, if blasting and digging and relocating streams unearths harmful elements and releases them into the environment causing illness and death, that process should be halted and the resulting hazards to the community abated." http://bit.ly/bSlw9A
A month earlier, as other West Virginia lawmakers were slamming the EPA's proposal, Byrd instead endorsed it. http://bit.ly/9o60IB

Woman shoots 10 of her dogs, selfComment on this story
Berlin - A German woman who lived with 13 dogs shot dead 10 of her pets and then killed herself on Tuesday when authorities came to take away the animals, police said.
Three police officers and four local officials knocked on the door of the 49-year-old's house in the small town of Friesen, eastern Germany, to reclaim her pets after authorities had decided she was maltreating them.
She slammed the door in their faces and soon afterwards shots were heard.
The police forced their way into the house and, upon discovering three dead dogs on the ground floor, sealed the premises and the surrounding area.
The officers called a special commando team for back-up and this unit found the dog owner shot dead along with seven further Australian Shepherds.
"Apparently the woman had shot dead the dogs and then turned the revolver on herself," the police said in a statement.
Three dogs escaped the bloodbath and were being treated by specialists. - Sapa-AFP

Great Tile, Great Prices
by Glenn , 08/10/2011
We recently tiled our entire house with a 6x24 wood-look porcelain tile that we purchased at PCC Tile. It is the best thing we ever did. PCC had a great selection of tiles and the prices were very reasonable. Everything was in stock and they were willing to hold it until we were ready to tile. The sales people at PCC were very helpful, knowledgeable and patient. They did not charge for samples and encouraged us to take them home and look at them there. We have been very happy with the quality of the tile and the service we received. We would encourage everyone to start their tile shopping at PCC Tile.

Which diaper brand is the best
I heard Costco brand were good, im a FTM so I am buying a couple different brands to see what work for me and LO, because everyone seems to have a different opinion.
Costco diapers and Wipes are GREAT!
FYI lol Costco wipes can stretch really far. Hahaha, hubby and I had a tug of war with one in '09. It wouldn't break in half hahaha
I used to like Pampers BUT they caused a serious rash on my daughter. She had worn them for a year and then when they changed to that drymax she got a horrid rash and was in so much pain.
I now use Huggies.
Every baby is different, but I love love love luvs! I always use pampers on newborns, but then switch to luvs. If I use anything other than pamper sensitive wipes all of my kids have gotten an awful rash.

I've only used pampers. We had one box of huggies and I didn't like them. They felt rougher and aren't as thin.
Married since 1999.
Mom to Lillian 10/18/09 and William 9/27/11.
I start with Pampers Swaddlers for my newborn. I might do size 1 in swaddlers also. I like the way the diaper contains the baby poop and seems to pull it away from baby's bottom instead of letting it sit there. After that we use generic. I've used Costco and they were just fine. I had problems with the Wal-Mart brand (Parent's choice) leaking, so I stopped using those. I almost exclusively use Target brand. I haven't tried the Costco wipes, but we've never had problems with the rashes like some have, so any generic wipes work fine for us.

I can only use Pampers with DS or he gets a rash but I will probably stick w Pampers this time too because they never really leak and are the softest and thinnest. Ill be using them, at least for awhile anyways!

Chicago, IL (Sports Network) - Nick Swisher, Asdrubal Cabrera and Matt Carson homered as the Cleveland Indians continued their dominance over the Chicago White Sox this season with a 7-1 victory on Sunday.
The Indians waited out a rain delay that last over four hours before sweeping their third four-game series from the White Sox in 2013, marking the first time in the 113-year history of the franchise that it completed three four- game sweeps of a single opponent in the same season.
It also marked the first time the feat has been accomplished in the majors since the Dodgers swept three four-game sets against the Mets in 1963.
Zach McAllister (8-9) allowed one run on six hits while striking out five over 6 2/3 innings for the Indians, who trail the Tigers by five games for first place in the AL Central.
Additionally, Cleveland is a half-game behind Tampa Bay and Texas in the wild card standings.
"I just felt like I was pretty aggressive with my fastball for the most part," McAllister said. "I was able to locate it and keep them off balance a little bit."
Chris Sale (11-13) gave up six runs on nine hits while striking out seven over 5 2/3 innings for the White Sox, who have dropped six straight.
"There's not much you can do when someone is on to you and kind of has your number," said Sale of Cleveland's dominance. "You just have to try to fight through that and battle through it."
The Indians got on the board in the second inning. Carlos Santana singled, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on Carson's single to left.
Carson's homer to right-center field in the fifth made it 2-0.
Cleveland tacked on four more runs in the sixth to create some distance. Swisher led off with a homer to left. Ryan Raburn and Santana followed with back-to-back singles. Cabrera's one-out homer to left made it a 6-0 contest.
The White Sox left men on second and third in the bottom half.
Chicago finally got on the board in the seventh. Jeff Keppinger singled, moved to second on Jordan Danks' single and raced home on Josh Phegley's single to center.
Swisher's homer in the ninth accounted for the final margin.
Cleveland has won 12 in a row against Chicago and leads the season series by a
15-2 margin ... McAllister improved to 3-1 lifetime versus the White Sox ...
The White Sox went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and stranded six
... At 58-91, Chicago is 33 games under .500 for the first time since
finishing 1976 with a 64-97 record.
Pope Francis' visit to Philadelphia in September has altered the date of the Penn-Villanova football game.
Kyle Busch won Sunday's road course race in Sonoma, California, but he still has a long way to go to become eligible for a spot in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.
NFL players have a very short shelf life to make significant amounts of money so it's tough to fault anyone who has outperformed a contract when they go knocking on the door to ask for more.

I was musing on Twitter (like you do) about the potential of a service that allowed you to copy a character, rather than move him or her, to another faction. I kind of thought at the time it was a ridiculous idea, mostly just wish fulfillment because I have a lot of friends on both factions and I really miss being able to do stuff with them. The response indicates that some people would jump for it, at nearly any price (I named ninety bucks and people didn't bat an eye) because, as several people pointed out, the chance to have an actual geared 90 is a lot more enticing than boosting a character that you don't know how to play.
So I put this question to you, readers - would you, if you could, make a copy of one of your characters on the other faction to play with friends of said faction?

Arkansas state highway spending to reach all-time high of $1.25 billion
Posted By Amanda Bayhi On September 24, 2013 @ 2:56 pm In Featured Articles,News & Analysis | No Comments
The Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department (AHTD) is planning to spend more on state highway projects than ever before, according to a report from Little Rock's KATV [3].
Over the next decade, state highway spending will reach $1.25 billion. The department currently has 112 planned projects.
Among the major projects are the "Big Rock" Interstate 630/Interstate 430 interchange, set for completion in the first half of 2015; a project on Interstate 40 to Conway, which should be finished by summer 2014; a toll road study on Interstate 40 from Little Rock to Memphis, with road construction near Forest City expected to be completed in about a year; and road construction on Interstate 530 to Pine Bluff, scheduled for completion by summer 2014.
The news station added that AHTD is also planning a big project for the Interstate 30/Interstate 430 interchange.
KATV noted that voter-approved bonds and a half-cent sales tax increase allowed for the increase in spending.

Cornmeal Cookies
Cornmeal Cookies. My very best sugar cookie recipe kissed with cornmeal and lime. So simple, yet so unique! You've got to try these…
A cookie is like an edible smile.
Tuck one in a lunch box (or your pocket) and it's guaranteed to make your heart jump with joy later in the day.
Sometimes I want a rich decadent chocolatey cookie. Yet most of the time I crave simple cookies, like shortbread, or my very best sugar cookie recipe.
We make numerous variations of sugar cookies. In fact, I'd be embarrassed to start counting.
Just know, sugar cookies are my specialty, so I feel like I have the best sugar cookie recipe ever. And I'll throw punches at anyone who says otherwise. *wink*
My latest sugar cookie variation is soft and tender Cornmeal Cookies.
Made from the dough of my best sugar cookie recipe, I simply subbed some of the flour for yellow cornmeal and added fresh lime zest.
The earthy quality of the cornmeal mixed with the bright limey essence is a match made in heaven.
Plus the texture… swoon!
The cornmeal adds a hearty grain texture that blends perfectly into the soft pillowy dough.
I could eat these cookies all day long.
Wait… I DID eat these all day long. And each one was better than the last!
Best Sugar Cookie Recipe with Cornmeal
Yield: 18 cookies
Prep Time: 10 minutes (active time)
Cook Time: 10 minutes
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened (1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- Zest of one lime
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/2 cup 100% yellow cornmeal + extra for rolling (not cornmeal mix)
- Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Then beat in the salt, lime zest, egg, and vanilla. Once blended, slowly add the flour, followed by the cornmeal. Scrape the bowl and beat again for just a few seconds to combine.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (or 350 convection) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Dump the dough out onto large piece of foil and use the foil to shape the dough into a 9 1/2 inch log, about 2 inches thick. Wrap well and freeze for at least 30 minutes to firm up the dough.
- When ready to bake, open the foil and sprinkle cornmeal over and around the dough log. Roll it back-and-forth to coat the log on all sides. Then cut the log into 16-18 equal slices. Lay the cookies on the prepared baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes until just barley golden on the edges, but soft in the middle. (7-8 minutes convection.) Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheet completely before moving.

I had an abortion when I was 18. I wasn't ready and neither was the father.. We obviously werent meant to be together either. I wish everyday since that I could have my child here. I hate myself for it. I just had a baby girl on September 18th with a man I that I'm going to marry, and now I feel even more horrible for what I did. I love this little girl, she is my heart and soul and I couldn't imagine life without her anymore. I am crying because I know I wouldve loved the other baby just as much, I do and I never even met him/her. Why did I do it! I wish I could hold them both, I wish Zoey couldve met her older brother/sister. I'm also so overwhelmed to know God has forgiven me, he must have since he gave me this perfect, healthy, and absolutely perfect little girl. I don't deserve to be forgiven though :( I'm also scared I'm wrong and he hasn't forgiven me, that he will decide that I shouldn't be allowed to keep my little girl. Tonight is a hard night for me :(
Tonight is hard.

After 11,000 It's Off to the Races, Right? 0 comments
Or maybe.
Or – no way.
I would always advocate placing new funds in the market if you find an opportunity that will do well regardless of market direction. I believe we've identified quite a few of these in previous articles. But I wouldn't race to throw money at the market just because it broke through some alleged technical point or round number.
I remember the bated breath with which many investors looked to 10,000 in April 1999. And you know what? The market kept running. But it wasn't because of any special numerology – Goldman and the rest of Wall Street still had dot.com.bombs in their pipeline. Never ones to walk away from a scam when the suckers are still buying, they continued to pump and dump companies with no revenue, no earnings, and no likelihood of ever achieving same, all the way to 11,700 or so, after which the market promptly entered a ratcheting-down pattern to unwind from the dot-com excesses. Its natural and normal decline was halted around 7500 only when the Fed dropped rates and relaxed regulations on home mortgages in order to inflate yet another bubble.
The point is, there was nothing special about 10,000. It was just a number on a chart.
Of course, the next magic number was predicted by many to be 35,000. We stopped a bit short of that. But 14,000 was as eagerly anticipated in October of 2007 as a "special number" to prove we had the oomph to make it to 15,000, then 20,000 and beyond. So much for special numbers...
The market rose for a couple days after 14,000, then began its sickening nearly straight-down slide to 6600, before rebounding in 2009. So – if you have a reason to believe, convince, delude, or satisfy yourself that the market writ large has plenty of more room on the upside, 11,000 will be nice but, really now, just a number on the way to infinity and beyond. And if you have a reason to believe, convince, delude, or satisfy yourself that the market writ large is more likely to disappoint because of whatever, going through it won't mean a thing. There will be no re-setting of the downside at 11,000!
Personally, I don't give two hoots if it goes through 11,000 or doesn't. It is simply irrelevant to what I look at when deciding if this is a good time to commit funds to the market. In fact, however, there is some interesting evidence that "anchoring" around a particular number, like 14,000 or 11,000 on the Dow, is a sign the market is ready to turn over. Such a move does not signal where the market is going, but if it gets enough people to throw money in late in the game, it gives the smart money someone to sell to.
I'd rather look at the fact that this market has risen for 13 straight months purely on relief that the earth is still rotating around the sun. We haven't fixed anything important yet, but we did keep from falling off a cliff. To me, that screams "relief rally," not a new bull market based on revenue, earnings, or any other fundamental reason to believe. Or the fact that most stocks now sell at PEs higher than they did when the Dow was at 14,000. Or that volume has been drying up ever week for the past 12 weeks. Or that volatility has gone to virtually nil. None of these are normal signs of a market ready for a second wind sprint. All scream "tired market. Feet hurt. Legs cramped."
But in this business you pays your money and you takes your chances. So if you read the tea leaves or the bones in the circle or the Tarot cards or the currently-most-popular tech guru differently, just throw your money in. Wall Street will be eternally grateful.

You Germans just can't help hating Jews, can you?
German court rules circumcision is 'bodily harm'
A court in Germany has ruled that circumcising young boys for religious reasons amounts to bodily harm.
In a decision that has caused outrage among Jewish and Muslim groups, the court said that a child's right to physical integrity trumps religious and parental rights.
The case involved a doctor who carried out a circumcision on a four year-old that led to medical complications.
Thousands of Muslim and Jewish boys are circumcised in Germany every year.
Although male circumcision - unlike female circumcision - is not illegal in Germany, the court's judgement said the "fundamental right of the child to bodily integrity outweighed the fundamental rights of the parents".
Circumcision, it decided, contravenes "interests of the child to decide later in life on his religious beliefs".
'Protect religious freedom'
The doctor involved in the case was acquitted and the ruling is not binding, but correspondents say it sets a precedent that would be taken into account by other German courts.
The president of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Dieter Graumann, called it "an unprecedented and dramatic intervention in the right of religious communities to self-determination".
He urged the country's parliament to clarify the legal situation "to protect religious freedom against attacks".
Male circumcision is part of the ancient religious rituals of both the Jewish and Muslim faiths, as well as the traditions of some tribal groups.
In some countries, such as the United States, it is also not uncommon for parents to request that young boys are circumcised for health reasons.
The BBC's Stephen Evans in Germany says it is unclear what the next legal step will be, but this issue is a moral and political minefield.
The ruling followed a lengthy legal battle, sparked when a Muslim couple decided to have their son circumcised, specifically for religious reasons, by a Muslim doctor in Cologne. The doctor, identified only as Dr K, carried out the circumcision on the four-year old boy in November 2010, before giving the wound four stitches. The same evening, he visited the family at home to check up on the boy. When the boy began bleeding again two days later, his parents took him to the casualty department of Cologne's University hospital. The hospital contacted the police, who then launched an investigation. The doctor was charged with bodily harm, and the case was taken to court.
While the court acquitted Dr. K on the grounds that he had not broken any law, it concluded that circumcision of minors for religious reasons should be outlawed, and that neither parental consent nor religious freedom justified the procedure. It ruled that in future doctors who carried out circumcisions should be punished.
The court weighed up three articles from the basic law: the rights of parents, the freedom of religious practice and the right of the child to physical integrity, before coming to the conclusion that the procedure was not in the interests of the child.
It rejected the defence that circumcision is considered hygienic in many cultures, one of the main reasons it is carried out in the US, Britain and in Germany.
After much deliberation, it concluded that a circumcision, "even when done properly by a doctor with the permission of the parents, should be considered as bodily harm if it is carried out on a boy unable to give his own consent".
Some Clarifications & Additions: The Doctor made no medical mistake and was not hold liable in this Case / at 14 every Child is allowed to officially change its Religion which the court views as the Time where it is able to make a Decision regarding cutting off a part of his Junk / Before this Decision the Medical Society could claim there is no legal decision against it (Ex Culpa ~Verbotsirrtum) which it now can't / The Court Decision claims the Hygienic Value of the Procedure is marginal in Northwest Europe
Due to the legal Dispute the 'Ärzte Zeitung' is advising against circumsisions which are not medically needed as Doctors may be liable to civil and criminal charges.
http://www.aerztezeitung.de/news/art...neidungen.html (german)
They also published an Article regarding the grey Area of Circumsisions a few months ago which caught some Heat from a Muslim Society. http://www.faz.net/aktuell/feuilleto...-11801160.html (german)
There are two more Instances of Courts above this (Bundesgerichtshof and Bundesverfassungsgericht) which likely wont be called.
TLDR: (Irreversible) Bodily Harm versus Religious Freedom Which is the better Argument?
You Germans just can't help hating Jews, can you?

Several Religions forbid/ dont condone Circumcision I recall the Amish forbid it, while Hinduism and Buddhism don't do it.
Also: The Navajo Nation believes that they are put on the earth the way that they are intended to be. No man would disrupt the spiritual harmony of the family by having circumcision performed on his child.(wiki)
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
"Don't condone" isn't really relevant. It's not like someone is going to be prevented from becoming a Buddhist because they were circumcised. Are the children of German Jews really going to join the Navajo nation? REally?

This is awful. Don't they know that circumcision reduces your risk of contracting HIV by 0.5%???
For something this trivial, they really ought to err on the side of religious liberty. Not that I'd ever do it to my kid--ouch! But it doesn't much matter. Lower AIDS risk vs. ostensibly higher sexual pleasure (which could conceivably make you climax sooner, which isn't exactly desirable) vs. it's part of his body vs. so's his appendix...
I read somewhere that the Prime Minister of South Africa just underwent a circumcison in order to encourage other South African men to get circumcisions. Circumcision seems to cut the rate of HIV transmission by 50%.
"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!
Studies done in Africa show that the risk reduction is more like 50%.
"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!
No tonsillectomies before 14 either... if necessary we can create a religion which excommunicates and forever damns those without tonsils :nazi:
"tout comprendre, c'est tout pardonner"
If circumcised men start thinking they don't have to worry about HIV, watch that figure fall fast.
Studies in Africa had a fatal flaw. The ones who underwent religious circumcision came from groups that had strong taboos against pre and extra marital sex and forbade drugs and alcohol. It would be like studying the Amish and saying, "They have beards and almost a 0% HIV rate. All men must grow beards."
Note: I have a beard and don't have HIV.
There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
African muslims may have a problem with drugs and alcohol, but they definitely don't have a problem with extra-marital sex. Remember, if discovered it's the woman who gets punished.
"I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!
I think the health of children is more important. Why subject them to a medically unnecessary, one-way procedure that will affect them the rest of their life?
With unprotected sex. With a condom on it's nil.
Why give people more of an excuse?
As a side note, how many men actually contract HIV from women? For some reason this also only applies to heterosexuals. 14 studies have all shown that for MSM, there's no impact.
BTW, I thought recent studies showed this is also only really true of people circumcised as adults (due to extra scar tissue, etc).
Tell that to the victims of botched circumcisions. Which happens more than you might think.
David Reimer would be interested in your opinion. But alas, he killed himself due to his botched circumcision.
Um, it sounds like he killed himself due to doctors insisting that he was a girl now, among other things. Generally it appears his whole life was messed up, what with him being a guinea pig for experiments about learned gender identity or something.
Yes. And why did that happen?
"South Africa is a shithole. It used to be a decent place." -Ben Kenobi, sharing his wisdom on world history
Brother was mentally ill in other ways.
I wonder why a wife would leave a man with no penis?
So apparently someone started with the exact same DNA but didn't have a botched penis, and was raised by the same parents, but he still killed himself.
"South Africa is a shithole. It used to be a decent place." -Ben Kenobi, sharing his wisdom on world history
Is your position if one twin kills himself, so will the other?
Well, your one extreme isolated case has certainly convinced me.
In most cases, botched circumcisions don't result in death. But infections from circumcisions are not rare, and most botched circumcisions just leave it permanently disfigured (and even successful circumcisions permanently disfigure )

I'm co-director of an upcoming gathering of musicians and scholars at my university. I probably will shoot some photos of them performing, but the other co-director and I will be hosting some interviews with them and the like, which is when i'll mostly be shooting them. Yes the artists are signed, and very well known. So I suppose I will end up having to go over this contract crap with their PR people.
So I guess what i'm looking for here is just some advice on how to deal with them. I suppose i'll just have to feel it out/haggle with them over rights, but I just wanted an idea of where I should start. Or more specifically, what I ought to shoot for/what rights I most likely won't be able to secure. In all honesty, I probably won't be publishing these photos. I would consider publishing them if I got some sort of offer, but mostly they're just for my own personal portfolio/exhibition.
Thanks everyone for the responses thus far.

'Fringe's' Joshua Jackson revisits 'Dawson's Creek' with Pacey-Con
We're going to go on the record and declare this best thing to come out of Comic-Con. Ever. Period."Fringe" star Joshua Jackson gave us a little blast from the past with "Funny or Die," when he made a scene across the street from Comic-Con dressed as his "Dawson's Creek" character, Pacey Witter."People ask me all the time why I'm working on the show 'Fringe,' and the honest answer to that is to fund my first love, which is Pacey fan fiction," Jackson explains, before reading some of his prose aloud. "The winter sun was cold but bright as Pacey squinted in the glare." Uh, Josh, did you steal our seventh-grade diary? We'd like that back, please. That stuff we wrote about "Seventh Heaven" was private, dude.We can't decide what we love most about this video. Is it the Pacey shirt he's obviously had tucked away in his hope chest for thirteen years? Maybe it's Jackson's attempt to thwart Comic-Con, or the hilarious bodyguard bobbing around behind him in every shot. Really, it's probably Paula Cole. We've had that song stuck in our head since 1997. It's nice to be validated.Pacey-Con with Joshua Jackson from Joshua JacksonFollow Zap2it and @cadlymack on Twitter and Zap2it on Facebook for the latest TV, movie and celebrity news.Photo: Funny or Die

I experienced some rough emotions rooting for my alma mater, the University of Kentucky, during the NCAA tournament. Partly because of the close games and come-from-behind wins, and partly because of their one-and-done reputation under Coach John Calipari. The media contrasted UK's likely NBA-bound freshmen and UConn senior Shabazz Napier, who remained a Huskie to earn his degree as a promise to his mother. It's what made March maddening for me.

Temperatures in the high 40s, with some rain. That's the forecast for Buffalo on Sunday when the Bills and the Dolphins kick it off. Balmy, then. So much so that the team from Miami can't, should they lose, use the weather for an alibi. Likewise, the fans who choose not to pay sit in the stadium and watch. The Bills have been disappointing but not surprising. They seem always to be disappointing. And it's almost Christmas. So, even if you follow the team and have since the Jim Kelly days, it might seem more appealing to stay at home and wrap presents. With the game on the television. In the background, of course.

Do You Like Nonstick Pans?
Nonstick Pans: Love Them or Hate Them?
Like us on Facebook
I grew up in a kitchen full of nonstick pans, but after throwing out two over-the-hill nonstick pieces this week, I've decided I don't like them. Why? They're high-maintenance to clean (they shouldn't be scrubbed with the abrasive side of a sponge), they don't develop the oh-so-sought after fond in sautés, and, unlike cast iron skillets or ceramic ware, they don't last. Even Thomas Keller admitted that the only time he uses nonstick pans is when he's frying an egg. Do you have strong feelings for nonstick cookware?

I like my non-stick skillet for eggs and I have a huge non-stick skillet (received as a gift several years ago) which I've loved, but which is starting to show its age and I'd like to replace it with something not Teflon-coated, but oddly, am having a hard time finding another one of approximately the same size without the Teflon.

@tigr3bianca it's only when they're overheated, but it says right on DuPont's (the makers of Teflon) website: "Bird fatalities can result when both birds and cooking pots or pans are left unattended in the kitchen - even for just a few minutes. Cooking fumes from any type of overheated cookware, not just non-stick, can damage a bird's lungs with alarming speed. This is why you should always move your birds OUT of the kitchen before cooking." It was very dangerous to cook with your parakeets in the room! A quick Google search will lead you to many, many sad tales of parrots and other pet birds dropping dead almost instantantly because of a careless cook. As it says above, avoiding non-stick isn't a guarantee that you won't burn something, but Teflon releases toxic chemicals (that aren't found in traditional pans) starting at only 500 degrees.

they usually caused more problems then they prevented, so i'm using my cast iron pans from my grandma. if it was good enough for her, it's good enough for me.

Nonstick are good for eggs, but most of my pans aren't nonstick. I don't know about nonstick causing deadly fumes. I used to have parakeets that I kept in the kitchen and they never keeled over when I was cooking.

I like them for certain things.

I threw all mine out when I read that if you overheat them, you fill your house with extremely toxic fumes that can kill a bird in a matter of seconds (and make you very sick, too)... I don't understand why you'd even bring something with that potential into your home, or really why they're even allowed to sell them. I swear by cast iron pans!

What Can My Landlord Do If I Fail to Give a 30-Day Notice in Nevada?
Landlord and tenant agreements are governed by state laws. In Nevada, the state's landlord and tenant laws are codified in Chapter 119A of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Tenants with written lease agreements must comply with the terms of those agreements, and they may not be able to terminate their leases earlier than provided without obtaining their landlords' consent. Most oral lease agreements can be terminated with 30 days' written notice. Tenants who fail to provide this notice may be liable for the remaining rent.
Nevada law allows landlords to enter into both written and oral lease agreements. If there is no lease between a landlord and tenant, there is a tenancy-at-will. Nevada law allows either party to terminate this type of tenancy with a 30-day written notice. When a tenant fails to provide this notice, a landlord may not only sue for rent payment but may keep the security deposit and apply it to past-due rent. If the landlord deducts from the deposit, he must provide a written deduction statement to the tenant, returning remaining fees to the tenant's last known address within 30 days after determining the property was abandoned.
When a tenant simply abandons his home without providing written notice of termination, the landlord has the right to dispose of the tenant's property, but must wait 30 days in case the tenant returns. Alternatively, if the landlord reasonably believes the tenant abandoned the home, the landlord may send an abandonment notice to the tenant's last known address. A tenant can reclaim both the rental and the property by paying all past-due rent. Once 14 days have passed since giving notice to the tenant, the landlord can sue for damages. Again, however, a landlord cannot enter the home and reclaim possession of their property without allowing the tenant opportunity to return. The amount of time landlords must wait must be equal to half of the lease term.
Valid Reasons for Early Terminations
Nevada law requires landlords to provide their tenants with a written contact list for repairs and phone numbers for any agents or property managers. A landlord must maintain the tenant's home in habitable condition; must comply with government health and sanitation codes; and must maintain the tenant's plumbing, electric and sanitation systems. Any landlord who fails to provide emergency repair services for restoring hot water, electricity and gas is in violation of his duty to provide habitable housing. A tenant can provide a landlord with written notice of his need for repairs which gives the landlord 14 days to respond.
Tenants' Rights
If a landlord fails to provide essential repair services, Nevada law allows the tenant to repair and deduct the costs of those repairs from the rent. The tenant may also withhold rent by setting up an escrow account with a Nevada justice court or may terminate the lease. To properly terminate the lease, a tenant must immediately vacate the apartment, request a return of the security deposit and demand the last month's rent payment. A tenant may also sue for twice the amount of the deposit as damages for failing to return the itemization and remaining security deposit within the 30-day time limit, according to the Nevada Revised Statutes. If the amount wrongfully withheld is less than $5,000, the tenant may file a lawsuit in small claims court.
Since state laws can frequently change, do not use this information as a substitute for legal advice. Seek advice through an attorney licensed to practice law in your state.

When my nana (grandma) first adopted Misty almost 5 years ago I was at school; once school was over I was getting in the car to go home and my auntie was holding a box. I asked "What's in the box?" and she said, "A kitten". I was so happy, even though I really wanted a dog (and still do — I like both), I couldn't believe it. Misty was just 8 months old and very tiny. When we got home, we changed her name to Midnight.
Now she's 4 years old — she will be 5 in August — and she is one of the smartest cats I know and love. When a door is closed in the house she will jump up on the door and push it open and sometimes she'll go behind the door and close it. She loves to play with strings and ribbons. She also likes to sleep. But most of all she LOVES to eat and won't stop meowing until she gets her food. She's a great cat and I'm thinking about getting another one or maybe getting a dog for the first time And I want to thank the SF SPCA and their staff, volunteers, and employees, for all the work they do to save an animal's life and get them into happy forever homes.
