So I've been doing the supplemental nursing system and always put a small piece of tape just next to my nipple to hold the tube in place. Well, today during the feeding the piece of tape was missing all of sudden, so I think lo must have swallowed it. It is surgical tape but I don't know if that makes much of a difference. I am just afraid of how it will come out. She is 11 weeks today and I am afraid it will clog up her intestines.
My pediatrician is not in today. Should I go to the emergency room? Or do you think she'll poop or puke it out? Shall I make her puke?
I took a piece of tape about the same size and rolled it up into a ball and it was not very big, about half the size of a ladybug but then at this point her intestines are not very big either.

The Northeast Community Center is grateful for the commitment and passion of our dedicated Board of Directors who provide oversight, specialized expertise, and management guidance.
Bill Farver
Board President (2015)
Gary Gibbs
Board Vice President (2012, 2014)
Building and Grounds Committee Chair
"I grew up in Decatur, Georgia, graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech) and hold a professional engineer license in Oregon and several other states. I retired in 2009 after a career that included 21 years at Intel; 20 years designing power and control systems for various engineering firms; and 5 years in the Army (Captain, US Army Corps of Engineers). I joined the Northeast YMCA in 1978 when I moved to the Hollywood area. I mainly take advantage of the aerobic and weight training workout classes where I enjoy getting to know and interacting with other people in the community.
Since I retired, the Center has become one of my main volunteer opportunities where I can contribute my skills and energy to the community. During the times I'm at the NECC doing volunteer work I'm always impressed by how many different groups use the facility. In the course of the morning you'll see early morning swimmers eager to get in some laps before work, a mixture of young and middle aged people working really hard in the morning boot camp class, mothers depositing kids in the child watch room before heading up to a yoga class, a class of older adults planning their next outing together as they get ready for their Active Older Adult workout class in the gym, a group assembling for the arthritis exercise class in the pool (85 degree F water temperature), and a water color art class. In the winter the Center sponsors a kids' basketball camp which is really fun to watch the little kids learning to play the game and work as a team."
Carl Nielsen
Board Treasurer (2013)
Finance Committee Chair
Cheryl Bristah
Board Secretary (2015)
"I joined NECC in 2012 and I am very pleased to be on the Board as Secretary. I grew up in Highland Park, Michigan, next to Detroit. My parents were pacifists involved in peace and civil rights issues. My favorite class in high school was Concert Choir, the top choir. We sang challenging music, toured lower Michigan each spring, and competed in statewide choral competitions. My experiences in this choir instilled a life-long love of choral singing. After graduating from college, I moved to Portland where I learned to love nature and the out-of-doors. Believing I should make a difference in the world, I worked for 20+ years for nonprofits, for causes I believe in. My favorite activities are reading (mostly novels and especially British murder mysteries), hiking, singing in a community choir, and traveling to developing countries."
"The NECC provides an uplifting and positive social connection for me. Whereas, my professional activities involve conference calls, writing building codes, and out of town travel, I enjoy the friendship and face to face contact with members, volunteers and staff of the NECC. I especially love to see the enthusiasm of the children playing basketball or coming to swim, the camaraderie of the AOA groups socializing, exercising, and caring for one another and I enjoy working with other friendly volunteers to make a positive difference in the NECC and community.
I have served on the Building & Grounds Committee since the beginning of the NECC. This committee is involved in planning, design, and hands-on execution, as well as supervision of contractors. In the early days, I rented a locker just for my painting clothes. It is great to see the building still looking good and only needing occasional cleaning and touching up.
I grew up in Bend, OR when it was still a small town. I studied interior architecture at the University of Oregon and practiced commercial interior and lighting design for 16 years. In 1992 I formed a non-profit organization, Center of Design for an Aging Society, to address the fact that building codes are based on the abilities of young able bodied people. With the growth of the older population, it is imperative that building codes include age-related disabilities and sensory loss which is common to the aging process. I am working with a national committee to have low vision included in the Americans with Disabilities Act."
"I have been a member of the NECC for over 20 years, including when it was the YMCA. I swim, and use the sauna and weight room. I periodically go to the circuit training class and very occasionally go to a pilates class. I've been known to be seen on the basketball court working on my jumper.
I really do love the facility. I have friends from other parts of my life who come here and have made countless friends over the years just chatting in classes and the locker room.
I decided to become part of the board when I became semi-retired in the hopes of maintaining and improving the center as a comfortable place for members and staff."
"My family and I participate in a variety of programming like swim lessons, ballet, camps, fitness training, and basketball. We joined NECC back in 2011 and fell in love with the culture. The family-friendly atmosphere and programming include children unlike other area fitness clubs.
I joined the board in 2013 because I wanted to participate in ensuring the quality of programming and culture of our organization for years to come".

Unless the FF7 remake is coming to the NX, I don't see a single reason for Cloud to be in smash. I don't count on it though.
"tremendous relationship" lol ok. I'm pretty sure they sung the same tune before the Wii U launched.
I wouldn't be so hesitant to buy retail titles digitally on the Wii U if games weren't still tied to your console. It's like if steam games were tied to your pc. That and 32 gigabytes is barely anything, so if you plan on downloading a lot of retail games it's pretty much mandatory to have an external hard drive.
I'm not getting my hopes up. I'll believe it when I see it.
Color me not surprised.
Fingers crossed for a summer release
This receives all of my yes.
I didn't even know there was going to be a direct today! Man, I'm out of the loop.
I...I...I...y....you win Nintendo, you win. Now shut up and take my money!
That trailer gave me multiple orgasams!
GG Sony and Micro$oft.
I personally would love to see Zexal burn, but for those that liked it, enjoy.
My God, some of these comments are hurting my brain. If you don't like project fine, but that doesn't give you the right to sh*t all over their hard work. It may be hard to believe, but just because YOU don't like something that doesn't mean everyone else has the same opinion.
Hmm... I approve of this game.
Dear God. Knuckles, what did they do to you !?
This whole thing bites since starfox is my favorite Nintendo franchise. Seriously, if the wii u doesn't get a starfox or f-zero i'm going to be pretty irritated.
.... lol what? That was pathetic on so many levels. Wow....just wow.
Give me a story trailer for X and my life will be partially complete.
Meh, can't say i really expected much from this game.
Regardless of its score, i'm still going to buy it. Sonic has a special space in my heart.
Da **** did I just read. Aren't they I don't know... a little late.
As long as their games get localized and stay on Nintendo and Sony platforms , I'm completely fine. Now about Persona 5....
dat wii fit trainer
Looks amazing, I'll be picking this up along with some rpg's for my soon to be bought ps3.
Eh, i could really care less about it. I don't like the direction GTA has been going. They've been degrading females a little to much for my tastes. I have to draw the line somewhere. Also some of the crimes the player commits sicken me. That being said i do enjoy San Andreas on my PC.
I can't wait for sonic lost world to come out! That game looks just amazing. Less speed more platforming. Something previous 3d sonic games lacked if you ask me. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes the best one ever. ( minus sonic 2)
I hope its a new Okami game. Okami-den didn't do it for me. Though I'd be glad with a new IP or something. Hmmmmmm the possibilities.
That thing is as ugly as sin...
That's amazing! I'm happy to see that Jennifer can join in with her family.
Wow this just blew away best wishes in a little over 1:00. If you ask me this is what should have happened in the first place.
I'll probably download cloudberry kingdom today. Its just a matter of when it comes on eshop
I'm eagerly awaiting cloudberry kingdom. I'm always up for a challenge.
Well done sega , well done. My only problem is that its coming out in the same month as a whole bunch of other games. Man I'm going to be so broke...
I don't think people would cheat if EV training wasn't such a tedious process. It might be fun the first few times, but after some 1000+ hours, it becomes something you'd want to skip. If all they are doing is skipping training, and using legit stats/ moves I don't have a problem. Not everyone has time to train entire teams. Though Ive never heard of Rgn or what not. The only service I'm familiar with is Pokegen.
I'd download it, if the case wasn't so awesome. Besides Id like to see my collection of blue cases increase :3
I don't care what they do, as long as Ness is in it!
Darn why is time passing so slowly!
Or they could just... you know , get a Nintendo system. Rocket science right?
I still don't know how to feel about this game. I'll be watching it closely though.
I'm hyped up and ready to go ! Now all I need to do is pass my final exams.
I never played this one. I might try it out.
As long as it's nothing like the werehog I'll be fine. Though I'm looking forward to see what they came up with. I mean the unleashed style gameplay was good.
They said it's action adventure, does that mean it'll be like the adventure titles? If so this will be on top of my games to get. Also if this is true , they better bring back the chao!
All I'm going to say is : SEGA don't mess up!
I just want a video of the wind waker. I want to see how it looks when it moves. Besides that some X news would be greatly appreciated .
I'm ultra excited ! I can't wait to see what the other locations look like! Also I find the female trainer purty, but i'm sticking with the guy though.
The people who are saying "graphics don't matter" need to realize that they do. If a system isn't powerful enough it can run new engines. Then as a result games don't get made for it. (ie. wii) Even though I'm not really a fan of this company, there is some truth in what they are saying. The wii u's CPU isn't all that amazing, and it's gpu is the best either. You can pretty call it "current gen" looking at the specs. I don't doubt that the wii u will have great looking games, but devs are ignoring it left and right. And I would really like to just invest in one console, and get all the games I want, but that's not the case. I see people bashing devs, but I don't think it's their fault.(sometimes) Nintendo has messed up, and I don't see them trying to fix their mistake.
I would buy that in a heart beat.

After two weeks, there are seven undefeated teams in the NFL. Surprised? I am, a little. I expected bounceback from certain teams (i.e. Pittsburgh), but I figured there would be eight or nine undefeated teams at this point. It'd make it easier to do this, that's for sure. Anyway, onto the picks for this week.
Here are the standings for Week 2:
Prisco: 12-4
Red: 11-5
King: 14-2
No, that's not a typo. King has started out amazingly well, to the point where he's calling out to himself how great he's been. Probably not a good idea, but we'll see how it goes through the rest of the season.
So where did I screw up? Well, I gambled on a few teams, namely Indy, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and St. Louis. Baltimore failed all three of us (and anyone who picked them in a survivor pool).
I saw Cleveland as a beatable team, especially in Indy. Once again, Kerry Collins and company failed to deliver until late in the game, and by then it was too late.
Had I known Cincinnati can't win in Denver (they haven't won there since 1975, thanks Judge), I wouldn't have picked them. And I don't trust Denver, even with a new coach.
I thought Philly had a decided advantage over an Atlanta team that couldn't score on the Bears. We saw New Orleans carve up the Bears, and people have been trying to put Matt Ryan up in that rare air that Brees et al inhabit. Apparently, Philly's defense isn't good enough just yet. Michael Vick getting hurt didn't help, but Mike Kafka came in and played pretty well. One dropped pass from Maclin sealed it for Atlanta, which is rather hard to believe.
And finally, the Rams. Their offense was inconsistent at best, but considering all the injuries on the Giants' D, I thought it could be a walkover for Sam Bradford.
OK, so with that done with, here are the Rankings for Week 2. As usual, these are not meant to be predictive and only reflect the results of the games.
1.) Green Bay (2-0) [no change]
I'm not sure if I was wrong about the defense or what. Charles Woodson stepped up with two INT's and a fumble recovered, but Cam Newton still threw for over 400 yards. I guess as long as they keep winning, the defense will get a pass. Although I'm sure Dom Capers can't be pleased about his unit's progress thus far. After two weeks, they're undefeated, and still the defending champs. So let's not make too much of their "problems".
2.) New England (2-0) [+1]
If anybody is questioning who the best QB in the league is, I have a response: Tom Brady. With Peyton Manning on the shelf, there are no if's, and's, or but's about this. Tom Brady is the best QB in the NFL, period. The defense, on the other hand, is a lot like the Packers'. Not good so far. Next week, they get the Bills, which could be interesting. The stats say otherwise, obviously.
3.) NY Jets (2-0) [+1]
Beatdown! There's not much to say other than that. Well, Mark Sanchez is still throwing bad picks...but until they affect the result, does anyone really care? It's a question of aesthetics at this point.
4.) Detroit (2-0) [+2]
One of the surprising 2-0 teams, to be sure. It seems that anyone who has Kansas City on their schedule can lick their chops, as it were, because an easy win is in the offing. Matthew Stafford has been nothing short of spectacular thus far. Any team that gets as many takeaways as Detroit does will be in the game, no matter the opponent.
5.) Buffalo (2-0) [+4]
Another surprising 2-0 team. It could all go to hell next week, though, and I expect it to. I mean, it would be a really big surprise if they were to beat New England, especially given how well (i.e. poorly!) they've played the Pats since 2003 or so. But for these first two weeks, Buffalo has been quite good. Maybe not great, considering the competition (KC and Oakland, yeesh), but quite good.
6.) Houston (2-0) [+4]
Who needs Arian Foster when you have Ben Tate? I kid, of course. Once Foster is healthy, Ben Tate is going back to the bench. But until then, Tate has a great chance to impress a lot of people. Prisco and King both picked Miami this week, and the Texans did an admirable job in closing out the game. They didn't play their best for 60 minutes, again, but they played well enough. That's really all that matters, and like everyone else, as long as they keep winning, they're in here.
7.) Washington (2-0) [-]
I wasn't taking the Redskins seriously last week. After narrowly beating Arizona, I have them as the least of the undefeated teams, which seems to be a good move right now. I still don't trust Rex Grossman. But my own stuff aside, Washington has played pretty well in the first two weeks, though it seems like they made it harder on themselves than it needed to be against Arizona. If they're serious about winning the NFC East, beating Dallas in Week 3 would be a good start.
8.) New Orleans (1-1) [-]
Who's the best outside of the undefeated teams? My vote goes to New Orleans. They took a tough loss in Week 1, in a game they could have easily won. It wasn't a bad loss, in my mind. Then they came out in Week 2 and put a beatdown on the Bears, a team that people were changing their minds about. I didn't make too much of the Bears beating Atlanta; they weren't playing in the Georgia Dome, they were playing in Chicago. And Jay Cutler is still a whining pouter. Joe Buck attempted to trumpet Cutler for his toughness; by the end of the game, when the Saints' D had smacked him around and the Saints' offense had put up 30, there were no plaudits for Cutler or his teammates. Brees had an absolutely scintillating pass to Devery Henderson which went for a TD. I loved it, for sure.
9.) Pittsburgh (1-1) [-]
It's hard to know what to make of the Steelers thus far. On the one hand, you have that utter demolition against Baltimore. And then you have the beatdown they just laid on Seattle. My inclination is to say that because Baltimore lost to Tennessee, and Pittsburgh bounced back (albeit against a terrible opponent, which cannot be emphasized enough), that the Steelers are still an elite team. But because they beat Seattle, I'm not entirely sure. I guess that's not a bad thing; they just squashed grapes in Week 1 and drank wine in Week 2, to paraphrase Mike Tomlin.
10.) Atlanta (1-1) [-]
As it turns out, beating Philadelphia at home is good enough to get the Falcons into the Rankings. I was impressed, and Matt Ryan is money at home still. We'll see how they go from here; bouncing back from that loss at Chicago was good, though.
Finally, a quick note on the four teams that exited the Rankings. They were Baltimore (2), Philadelphia (5), San Diego (7), and San Francisco (8). Obviously, all four lost in Week 2. Still, I think that three of those four will be back in the Rankings at some point this season. All it takes is a win, or in some cases two or three of them. I'm still pretty high on Baltimore, but losing to Tennessee (especially after their Week 1 performance) is utterly inexcusable. I probably could have ceded them the tenth spot, but I like using this space to celebrate the winners. And, obviously, teams that remain undefeated. The other three losses were a bit more "expected", I would say. So I don't think there should be much controversy, and besides, this is just one guy's opinion on something that really doesn't matter all that much. I do this for fun.
That's all for this week. See you next week!

But like you said, it's 'Murica!

If there's a lot of players from New Zealand, you could probably petition on their official forums for an increase of ping limit to 150ms. It's a lot easier than buying a server on New Zealand.
Good luck with this issue.

One think folks can do to assist the TDM team is to contribute to bountysource tickets for general improvements to the vanilla Doom 3 source code.

There's an open discussion on this. Some folks are collecting funds for the entry fee and others are reviewing the Greenlight EULA for legalities.
Moonbo's "Requiem" won the "I made a Mod" portion. I will be posting an article when I get a chance.
Stop by the forums.
Yes, it will work on XP but some larger missions might have trouble running on 32-bit memory sizes. You can use image_downsize cvars to workaround that to some degree if you don't mind the quality loss.
I love D3W
I think we've been pretty clear that we don't have a stance on the new Thief title as a team. Personally, you can see at least a few threads at our forums where critiques have been offered by team members. It's also pretty clear that we differ on how a new Thief title "should be". That said, I cant knock Square Enix's for offering this olive branch to our group. I guess it also probably helps them hide "Dark Mod vs Thief 4" in google search heuristics so negative impressions are avoided for new players. (I've been experimenting with this, you honestly really have to dig to get any comparisons because this contest is like the top 100 or so results when you try...) Whatever, if it brings a few cool missions to us and some more exposure (which is valuable to us only insofar as to bring more talent and contribution) then ultimately we've gained something more valuable than whatever perceived loss of "street cred" we may have given up.
You mean Thief TDP, TMA, TDS or The Dark Mod? I can point you to solutions for any of those. I don't know about the new Thief title but I've heard some nvidia users have trouble with it.
It has been confirmed that Thief 4 will not have mod tools thus a level editor is also likely out of the question. Whether this will change in the future is an open question but it's believed that the reason for the lack of tools is the additional license costs for UE3 tools.
I'll see if we can ship out a zip of the differentials. The tdm_updater installs this for you though.
By best mods I presume you are referring to missions? We usually recommend that you start with smaller missions like The Thieves or Trapped! but you can certainly dig-in and go for the 3-mission mini-campaign "No Honor Among Thieves" or play any of the "series" missions like Sotha's "Thomas Porter Series (7 missions)" or Grayman's William Steele missions (WS2 was just released!). Honestly, I still say that Moonbo's "Requiem" is a must play even though it was his first mission. It's a masterwork! You should check out this thread:
You need to name your install directory "darkmod" or upgrade to 2.01 where this issue is fixed.
"Reap as you Sow" is a daylight mission but uses a "tension meter" to determine whether you are in trouble with regard to stealth...
"The Lich Queen's Demise" is set around dusk but when you progress into the mission it becomes more dark.
The Gatehouse is now available in the mission downloader!
Good luck with 2014!
Hopefully we at The Dark Mod will be as productive.
Long live Id Tech 4!
Must have been filtered or lost during server maintenance. Can you send it to my Moddb Personal Message?
I'll check with Springheel on that. I know we've been having site maintenance issues recently. Thanks!
This is not a stupid question. This is a question we love to hear! Welcome to the dark side my Builder friend.
Some solid choices here. Congrats all!
Correct. It's completely standalone now. Just make sure your install directory is named "darkmod"
Thanks. I guess that means we are eligible in the Indiedb contest next year?
Thanks for the nod. Though I must say I'm surprised that you chose our Top 10 Halloween article over our Standalone 2.0 article:
I uploaded this via tribler. Are you able to download the file? I can try another torrent client if needed. Tried to find a GPL and adware free client to use. uTorrent used to be my goto client a long time ago but I haven't done much with torrents these days.
Is EA looking to collect mod to indie crossovers like Dear Esther? They'd better think hard about their stance on mods then. I suspect a great number of contributors here would rip-up an EA check in favor of going to Valve or heading down to Kickstarter (etc). Time for an EA rep to grace us with some carefully manicured words...
I'm not a Steam hater but I must admit that I have mixed feelings about them being a "gateway drug" for popular acceptance of DRM. Yes, I must admit, if we are forced to have DRM in our lives it should be as well designed as the Steam version... I think the Greenlight thing might happen. I just need to read over the legalize of the TOS with our resident legal man and start moving on it.
You might be able to use an old version (v1.07 or earlier) but now with our own executable you'd need to merge the source code from that project to get it working. Not to mention that TDM, even as a mod does some executable hooks from the dll to get extra access to pixel buffers for the light gem. If DIII4A has a radically different renderer, the you'd need to figure out how to feed the light gem it's data. I presume you are trying to run this on a gpu with at least 256m of ram right? Even at that size you'd need to downsize textures and bump maps for the medium size missions. I suppose you could go nuts and downsize everything to 32x32 or something. Good luck and let us know how it works.
Here's a thread:
the list might need to be updated because Requiem and Lords and Legacy are quite good too.
I will open a thread about non-horror missions.
That said many missions run the gamut of themes which includes some horror\undead areas (just like Thief 1). Even amongst the Top 10 horror list, many of the listed missions have significant non-horror portions.
New Intel graphics drivers. Finally stable full-screen TDM in Windows 8.1:
Forum registration at forums.thedarkmod.com has been temporarily suspended until we have a new solution for the incoming spammers.
Thanks Bliccer! I also hope that you catch a few minutes and get a chance to make a mission. :)

The Manchester Armchair Philosophers Discussion Asking is It Right to Eat Animals
My personal review of a discussion on the Pros And Cons Of Vegetarianism.
The Manchester Armchair Philosophers Discussion Asking Is It Right To Eat Animals? 21st May 2013 The Royal Oak Pub, Barlow Moor Road, Chorlton, Manchester.
A lovely, thoughtful discussion on what we eat and why. Of twenty attendees five were vegetarian /vegan. I myself am a meat eater.
Over all in most such discussions ad writings, vegetarianism tends to get the strongest arguments – meat eaters are often inclined to agree in principle but wish to stick to meat consumption due to habit, a liking for the taste and limited culinary skills.
We started out with the simple question of what each of us consider our favourite foods, with curries and steaks dominating the replies (curries in my case too). Aubergines, cake, chocolate biscuits, cheese (sometimes on toast), and beans on toast, well prepared pasta and 'the humble potato' were among those presented as highly regarded by attendees.
Introduction ice-breakers completed, we were given a brief essay called Consider They Oyster, based on M F K Fisher's study. The oyster is there described as the perfect food stuff, as it is easy and economic to farm, given its low consumption in plankton itself, and its rich nutritional value. Though an animal, its easy farming makes it suitable to vegetarian / vegan sensibilities too.
In reality, the oyster is marketed as a rare expensive luxury and aphrodisiac rather than a staple dietary food product. We seem nowhere near buying oysters as casually as our daily bread, baked beans and coffees.
Most contributors to the discussion were sensitive about eating certain kinds of animals, and squeamish about the slaughter process involved. Many don't want to think of the meat on their plates as a once gambolling lamb, or lovely brown cow, or a live chicken. We often avoid anthropomorphising animals we are going to kill and eat. We disassociate=e and disconnect from the animals we eat.
At the same time however, we are loath to introduce insects into the Western diet though they are considered a delicacy in other counties and easy to farm at low cost too. Few would appreciate adding rat, or mouse to the menu though there is no reason metabolically to not consume them instead of more expensive meats we do indulge in.
Sometimes we eat so much meat we forget that we are omnivores.

State-run exchange development on hold
On September 24, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson said that the state's progress towards creating a state-run health insurance exchange for individual plans is "on pause at this point" and that he's communicated that information to HHS. Hutchinson went on to say that Heathcare.gov is working well, and that he's not sure the state needs to push forward with plans for a state-run exchange, which involves additional risks and costs.
Hutchinson had previously voiced concerns about the benefits of proceeding with a state-run exchange.
On June 25, the Supreme Court ruled that subsidies are legal in the federally-run marketplace, which means there was no longer a concern that subsidies could evaporate and insurance markets could destabilize in states that use Healthcare.gov. Although the state has been working towards a state-based exchange for some time, and has obtained almost $100 million in federal funding to make the switch, the Court's ruling removed some of the incentive to proceed with the transition, since subsidies are safe regardless of how the exchange is structured.
Following the Supreme Court's decision, Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson asked the state to reconsider whether the move to a state-run exchange is still the best course of action: "I am convinced now more than ever that we need to proceed with caution to measure the costs to the taxpayers and the reliability of the outcome as we consider the potential of a state exchange."
In mid-August, Governor Hutchinson reiterated his concerns about moving forward with a state-run exchange, saying: "Right now, we're building a state-run exchange with a $99 million grant from the federal government, and I'm asking the question, why are we building the state exchange rather than relying on a continued partnership with the federal exchange?"
Prior progress towards state-run exchange
On June 15, Arkansas was one of three states that got conditional approval from the Obama Administration to operate a state-run exchange (the state currently has a partnership exchange, which is considered federally-run). At that point, the outcome of King v. Burwell was still up in the air, and there was a distinct possibility that subsidies for 50,000 people in Arkansas could have evaporated if the Supreme Court had ruled that subsidies were not legal in the federally-run exchange.
Although the state formally submitted their intent to establish a state-based exchange this spring, they've been in the process of working towards a state-based exchange since 2013. The board of the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace voted in mid-September 2014 to transition from its current partnership exchange to a state-run exchange. The plan was to have the Arkansas-run marketplace operational for individual for open enrollment in the fall of 2016, with coverage beginning in 2017. Small businesses were to be able to begin enrolling through the state-run exchange in the fall of 2015.
However, in March, lawmakers passed Senate Bill 343, which required the state to wait to proceed with establishing a state-run exchange until after the King v. Burwell ruling is announced. That put the Arkansas Health Connector's transition to a fully state-run model on hold, although lawmakers and the exchange board continued to work on the details of how the state-run exchange would work.
State-run small business exchange
Arkansas has also been working to create its own state-run small business (SHOP) exchange. The Arkansas exchange board had hoped that currently-enrolled small businesses would be seamlessly transitioned to the state-run exchange, but CMS notified the state that they will not be able to transfer the data, and small businesses would have to re-enroll through the new exchange. Hutchinson's letter to HHS regarding his plans to pause development of the individual market state-run exchange did not include any mention of delaying the state-run small business exchange, which is scheduled to open in January 2016.
New exchange carrier for 2016
Five carriers will be be offering individual health plans in the Arkansas exchange in 2016, although two of them are owned by the same parent company:
- Arkansas Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Celtic Insurance Company (Ambetter)
- QualChoice/QCA Health Plan (both owned by QualChoice Holdings – QualChoice offers POS plans; QHC Health Plan offers PPO plans)
- UnitedHealthcare of Arkansas
UnitedHealthcare of Arkansas is new to the exchange for 2016. They will only be offering policies in central Arkansas in 2016, but plan to expand into other areas of the state in 2017. The other three exchange carriers will all offer plans state-wide in 2016.
Average rate increase less than 5 percent
Average rate increases are relatively small in the Arkansas exchange for 2016. The Arkansas Insurance Department released approved rate changes in late August. For the three carriers that were already offering plans in the Arkansas exchange, the average rate changes are:
- Arkansas BCBS = 7.15 percent increase
- Celtic (Ambetter) = 0.08 percent increase
- QualChoice/QCA Health Plan = 8.2 percent decrease
Arkansas BCBS has the bulk of the current enrollees, with 79 percent of the state's current individual market share. But almost 9 percent of Arkansas's individual market enrollees have a plan through one of the QualChoice Holdings carriers, and those policies will see rates decrease more than 8 percent next year.
The modest rate increase for 2016 comes on the heels of a decrease last year; the Arkansas Insurance Department announced in October 2014 that premiums in 2015 would be two percent lower on average compared to 2014 rates.
In addition to the four exchange carriers, Coventry Health and Life only offers plans outside the exchange. And while state regulators approved a 10.5 percent rate increase for Coventry, they have only 16 enrolled members. UnitedHealthcare has 521 current enrollees in their off-exchange plans in Arkansas, and their average rates will increase by 19.7 percent in 2016. In 2016, UnitedHealthcare will offer both on and off-exchange plans in Arkansas.
60% drop in uninsured rate
According to Gallup data, the uninsured rate in Arkansas in 2013 was 22.5 percent. By the first half of 2015, it had fallen to 9.1 percent – a 60 percent drop. The 13.4 percentage point drop is the largest of any state in the country. The state's acceptance of federal funds to expand Medicaid (using private coverage under a waiver) is credited with much of the state's success in reducing its uninsured rate, as 250,000 people have gained coverage under the Arkansas Medicaid expansion program since January 2014.
But there's currently a hitch in the program. Almost 50,000 Medicaid enrollees have been caught up in an eligibility determination process that has resulted in many of them losing their coverage and being unable to access prescriptions or healthcare while the details are sorted out.
The problem stems from an automatic eligibility verification program that the state is using to ascertain whether people are still eligible for Medicaid coverage. If wage information received from the state indicates that an enrollee's income has increased above the Medicaid eligibility threshold, the Medicaid program sends the enrollee a request for more information. That data must be submitted within ten days, or coverage is terminated. This has resulted in considerable confusion on the part of enrollees and backlog on the part of the Medicaid program.
2015 enrollment data
65,684 Arkansas residents signed up for health insurance on HealthCare.gov between Nov. 15 and Feb. 22 according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). 44 percent were new to the exchange for 2015, and 88 percent qualified for premium subsidies.
Effectuated enrollment in private plans through the Arkansas exchange stood at 51,436 as of June 30. Attrition is to be expected outside of open enrollment, and Healthcare.gov also increased its enforcement of documentation requirements for immigration and financial status, resulting in the cancellation of some plans and/or premium subsidies. In addition, some enrollees never paid their initial premiums, and others opted to cancel their coverage mid-year.
2015 open enrollment for 2015 had ended. There are some other conditions under which people can apply for health insurance coverage before the next open enrollment period, but they must have a qualifying event in order to purchase coverage outside of open enrollment, on or off the exchange. Enrollment is open year-round for Native Americans and for people who qualify for Medicaid.
Otherwise, the next open enrollment period begins November 1, for coverage that will take effect on January 1, 2016.
Arkansas carves own path on ACA
Arkansas has not followed the pack in its approach to implementing the Affordable Care Act, and it has continued that trend with its path towards the possibility of a state-run exchange (Idaho is thus far the only state that has transitioned from Healthcare.gov to a state-run exchange), although progress towards a state-run exchange is on hold as of September 2015.
States that relied on the federal marketplace for some or all functions outnumbered states that ran their own exchanges in 2014. For 2015, only Idaho moved to a state-run exchange, while Oregon and Nevada increased their reliance on the federal marketplace.
Arkansas' efforts to transition to a state-run marketplace is not its only atypical move. Arkansas was one of just a few states that implemented a state-federal partnership for 2014. The state also pioneered the Private Option for Medicaid expansion under a Section 1115 waiver from CMS. However, the current Medicaid expansion program is only slated to run through the end of 2016, and the state must either renew it or replace it in order to continue Medicaid expansion into 2017 and beyond.
The future of Medicaid expansion
In August, Governor Hutchinson expressed his support for continuing to accept federal funding to expand Medicaid in Arkansas, but noted that he wants to make sure that the state can continue to create its own version of expanded Medicaid, with several aspects that will require new or renewed waivers from CMS.
Under the current Medicaid expansion in Arkansas, eligible enrollees with household income up to 138 percent of the poverty level are enrolled in private health insurance plans through the exchange, but with the premiums fully subsidized by Medicaid funds. Hutchinson wants to replace that with a program that requires premium payments of up to two percent of household income for people whose household income is between 100 percent and 138 percent of the poverty level (Indiana is an example of another state that has implemented Medicaid expansion with a similar provision).
There are several other contingencies that Hutchinson wants to include if the state continues its Medicaid expansion program, most of which would require waivers from CMS. But Hutchinson noted that whatever they do, it's not acceptable to simply terminate the expansion of Medicaid and leave 220,000 low-income Arkansas residents with no health insurance coverage. In September 2015, Hutchinson noted that he had communicated with HHS Secretary Burwell regarding Arkansas' Section 1115 Medicaid waiver, and that she is "cautious" about the proposed reforms, but "indicated that she is happy to work with [Arkansas] on each of these [proposed reforms]."
Lawmakers will consider the extension of Medicaid expansion during the 2016 legislative session.
Arkansas Health Connector enrollment in 2014
Signups for qualified health plans (QHPs) in Arkansas totaled 43,446 during 2014 open enrollment. Among Arkansas residents selecting a QHP, 90 percent qualified for financial assistance, compared to 85 percent nationally. An HHS report released in June showed the average monthly premium, after tax credits, for Arkansas consumers was $94. Thirty-five percent of enrollees who received subsidies in 2014 saw their premiums reduced to $50 or less per month.
Nineteen percent of Arkansas residents selected a bronze plan (20 percent nationally), 67 percent selected a silver plan (65 percent nationally), 13 percent selected a gold plan (9 percent nationally), 0 percent selected a platinum plan (5 percent nationally) and 1 percent selected a catastrophic plan (2 percent nationally). Twenty-five percent of Arkansas enrollees were between the ages of 18 and 34.
Arkansas' historical approach to the marketplace
The Arkansas legislature considered a bill to establish a state-run exchange during the 2011 session, but it did not pass. The Arkansas Insurance Department then shifted gears and received grant money in February 2012 to develop a partnership exchange.
The state exchange website is called Arkansas Health Connector, and it provides key dates for enrolling, frequently asked questions and other information to help people understand their options for purchasing health insurance. State residents use the federal marketplace, HealthCare.gov, to compare plans, see if they qualify for subsidies, and purchase coverage.
Arkansas was the first state to receive federal approval to expand Medicaid through the Private Option. Through the Private Option, the state uses money earmarked through the ACA for Medicaid expansion to subsidize the purchase of private insurance. The approach has been adopted or considered by a number of other states.
In December 2014, Arkansas received federal approval for two further changes to its version of Medicaid expansion. The waiver allows a requirement of monthly contributions to health savings accounts and limits transportation for routine doctor visits and other non-emergency services.
As originally constructed, the Private Option required annual reauthorization by the Arkansas legislature. In late February 2014, the Arkansas Senate approved continued funding for the Private Option. However, it took the House five votes to reauthorize funding in early March. Arkansas appropriation bills must receive a 75 percent majority in both houses to pass, and the Private Option just squeaked by with votes of 27-8 in the Senate and 76-24 in House.
Legislative support for the Private Option was weakened by the 2014 elections. Republicans, many of whom campaigned against the Private Option, now hold 24-11 and 64-36 majorities in the state Senate and House, respectively.
Gov. Asa Hutchinson asked state legislators to fund the program in its current form through the end of 2016. Legislators heeded Hutchinson's request by passing Act 46. The law continues Private Option funding through 2016 and establishes a task force to suggest changes to the program for 2017. However, some opponents believe they have killed the Private Option, viewing Act 46 as just a "stay of execution."
Arkansas legislators are also considering SB 312, which would direct the state Department of Human Services to request federal approval to freeze enrollment in the Private Option effective Dec. 31, 2015. Through January 2015, about 233,500 Arkansas residents were enrolled in the Private Option.

November 30, 2015
WINFIELD, W.Va. (AP) - U.S. Rep. Shelley Moore Capito wants to see a long-debated widening project finished on U.S. Route 35 in Mason and Putnam counties.
The West Virginia Republican took a tour Friday of a 14.6-mile section of the highway that remains two lanes. The four-lane highway starts at Interstate 64 in Putnam County and is a major truck and bus route connecting to southern Ohio and other points in the Midwest.
The state Division of Highways began seeking alternative funding for the $187 million project last year following backlash against plans for tolls on the road.
Capito says federal surface transportation program funding expires in September and "now's the time to be talking about it."
Capito and West Virginia Democrat Nick Rahall are members of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

This was my first experience using an attorney and I'm pleased that I was recommended to Mr. Gourley. He is very knowledgeable in his area, but not hesitant to consult other experts for information that will make his case stronger. His best trait is he listens to his client and is open-minded about all options. He walks through the case with his client as if he is trying the case on the spot. He put me at ease during a very difficult and emotional time. He doesn't waiver or waffle on making decisions that affect his client. He puts his client before ego and has the best interest of his client at all times. This gave me the confidence to stick with my case and not give up. I would highly recommend Cory and any of the team of lawyers or support people from this firm.
Posted by June
Cory was my lawyer a few years back, now I might be needing him again and if I do I will go for it!... He handled my custody battle and he was always very forward, He will not let the clients emotion (or lack of control of) get the best of the case, he knows what he is doing, and he helps the client understand that "is not about what you want is about what the law says" , I am a female, 2 kids, and will hired him any time! Custody cases can be very emotional, but Cory keeps it together even when dealing with bullies or dramatic situations (clients or not clients!)....I found it very funny how someone will accuse him of being a "bully" or "sweet talking them" ...we are all adults here right? ...this guy is awesome go for it!
Posted by Charles
My case was a tough, post-divorce custody modification. Hard as it gets and Cory knocked it out of the park. His advice was dead on. I had many concerns along the way in a two year long court process. When things didn't go like we expected or wanted, he always had a plan B, even a plan C. He is worth every penny I spent. I heard from him when he knew I needed to instead of wasting our time and money discussing unnecessary matters. He did everything in his power to minimize my costs and still have a strong case. I would recommend him to a man or a woman for representation. I know from experience his concern is his client and the best interests of the children involved. When I felt things were not moving fast enough and I was frustrated or I wanted to go for the jugular, he always took the time to explain the process and calm me down sometimes more than once. He always left the actions we took in court up to me, never pushed me to do it his way. He laid out options based on his knowledge and experience and let me make the final choice. His law firm and his secretary Melissa worked hard to win my case, I am forever grateful. He made an impression on everyone that I introduced him to. Divorce and custody modification is emotionally tough and expensive. If you want the best, you need to call Gourley, Rehkemper and Lindhom, Ask for Cory or Melissa.
Posted by a Child Custody client
In my personal opinion - He's great defending dads but don't ever use him if you're a female! His lack of effort is concerning. He rarely called me back when I called the office. He never kept me informed on much of anything. I feel he bullied me and sweet talked me into doing something I wasn't comfortable with. He's not willing to put forth effort in mediation and half way through he's suggesting you give up things you've always had. I don't feel he's worth $325 a hour. Not even close. He tried to tell me at the end we won - less time with your kid then you had before. Sounds like a loss to me.

Cory helped me through a difficult time and process. He and his staff were genuine and respectful. I was presented with options and provided with facts regarding the law during my divorce. His knowledge of the law was impressive which led to an amenable result for my children and me. I was grateful for the legal services I received from Cory and his team.

I have been working with Mr. Gourley for the past 10 years on everything from starting a business to defending both my business and personal interests. Although I don't think anybody "likes" to have to call an attorney, when I contact Cory, I know he will take care of what needs taken care of. It's reassuring to know that my attorney isn't intimidated by a threatening letter from the other side...even if I am. I have sent friends and family to Cory for representation for several divorces, personal injury accidents and large business law matters. I haven't ever heard a negative report from anyone I refer on...which is why I continue to send folks his way. If you ever find yourself in a position where you need legal representation, I highly suggest that you contact Cory Gourley. If he can't help you, he will know who can and will get you pointed in the right direction...I speak from experience.

He did "absolutely" nothing for me and charged me $2000 dollars. Don't go with him, find someone else!

Greetings! We've been radio silent for a few weeks, working hard on some new features you'll see at XNA Creators Club Online starting later this week. In the meantime, you guys have been busy!
There are always so many fantastic articles and helpful Creators it is really difficult to pick just a few to share in the CCC. For example, Shawn Hargreaves' ever-prolific blog has been as fruitful as ever. I could take the time to list all the helpful articles, but really if you use XNA Game Studio and like things that are awesome you should have his blog bookmarked. Wouldn't it be great if there were some way that we could show on CCO who's an experienced "Creator" and those that are …well…not? Or what if we could give credit when people offer good stuff and answer questions? That could be rad.
In totally, completely unrelated news, we're going to have a brief bit of downtime this Thursday, July 23, 2009. When we come back online, we hope to have a few treats to share with you. If you're a Premium member of XNA Creators Club Online, that wants to keep busy during our absence, you should check out all our new Avatar-related Dev-Ed content!

I hope folks who do not fit in the financial guidelines yet cannot afford it find a way to access technology like this as well.
Groups launch joint accessibility campaign
Thousands of Americans who have combined hearing and vision loss may soon connect with family, friends, and community through the National Deaf-Blind Equipment Distribution Program. Mandated by the 21st Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act (CVAA), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) established the new program to provide support for the local distribution of a wide array of accessible communications technology.
The FCC is also funding a national outreach campaign to educate the public about this new program. The iCanConnect campaign will be conducted jointly by Perkins School for the Blind, the Helen Keller National Center, and FableVision.
iCanConnect will seek to ensure that everyone knows about the free communications technology and training that are now available to low-income individuals with combined hearing and vision loss. From screen enlargement software and video phones, to off-the-shelf products that are accessible or adaptable, this technology can vastly improve their quality of life.
iCanConnect aims to educate people about the availability of communications technology for this underserved population so they can remain safe and healthy, hold a job, manage a household, and contribute to the economy and the community.
"With the right technology, people with disabilities can link to information and ideas, be productive, and move ahead," said Steven Rothstein, president of Perkins. "Perkins' most famous student, Helen Keller, exemplified the potential of a person who is deaf-blind. We are proud to have a role in this transformational program."

Dayton Ward talks Paths of Disharmony, Vanguard and more
My interview with Dayton Ward is now online over at Unreality SF.
In it we talk about his latest novel, Typhon Pact: Paths of Disharmony, the state of the Star Trek Universe post-Destiny, the two upcoming Vanguard books and his original endeavours.
How far ahead is the future of
planned out at the moment? "David Mack's next book, which will follow ours sometime in 2012, has been plotted from a general, high-level standpoint," Dayton tells us. "In the past, Kevin and I largely did our own thing, working with the editor to plot our own books, while Dave did the same for his books. We shared info back and forth, of course, just to make sure we weren't stepping on any toes. With the sixth and seventh novels, there's been a lot more communication and shared brainstorming as we helped each other to develop the overall plots for both books. Based on the conversations Dave and Kevin and I have been having over the past year or so, we know most of the major beats and how his book will end. What hasn't yet been determined is how he'll navigate all the wickets from beginning to end. Knowing Dave, I expect it will be quite the ride. As for what might happen after that? That's another discussion to be had down the road."

text: No More Cowbell: Austria Court Bans Noisy Clangers Judge sympathizes with neighbors losing sleep By Dustin Lushing, Newser Staff Posted Jul 18, 2012 4:26 PM CDT STORY COMMENTS (14) (Newser) – More cowbell is no longer an option in a small Austrian town. A judge has ordered a farmer near the small town of Stallhofen to remove the noisy apparatuses from his cattle because neighbors were losing sleep, reports Der Spiegel. The farmer had refused their pleas, claiming the bells were not only part of Alpine tradition but that they calmed the cows. The judge visited to hear for himself—and now the farmer will be fined if he doesn't comply. ("Next they'll be banning yodeling," complains the Der Spiegel report.) A cowbell-wearing cow.

We've expected that before, so, I'll believe it when I see/hear it. Before or during regular trading hours would be nice, however, after trading hours, shortly after that is, would be alright as well, giving the market "time to digest and absorb the information" and all, just NOT the last hour of the last day, as we've seen before. I said it back then and I'll say it now, imo, that's bush league, looking for improvement. Hopefully, the new guys are up to issuing more professional releases imo, we'll see... Ah, and some have speculated about a CC, it's been a while since we've had one of those as well, so imo, nothing better than getting something from the horse's mouth.

As such, Sony's Puppeteer is the perfect example of a great concept let down by weak content, and it's a real shame to see its potential go unfulfilled." -
