Billing policies
We continually strive to contain costs, while maintaining our commitment to excellence in medical care, by ensuring every appropriate effort is made to collect money owed to the health network for services provided.
Patients are responsible for the charges for services received. However, to assist patients in meeting their financial obligations, the health network will bill their health insurance carrier(s) for them, as long as a valid ID card and/or information regarding insurance coverage is presented at the time of registration.
The health network accepts assignments of benefits and maintains an active follow-up program with all insurance carriers. Insurance is billed as a courtesy to the patient and the patient remains responsible for contacting their insurance carrier to ensure prompt payment of their accounts. Patients should contact their insurance carrier if payment has not been made within 45 days. Accounts with delinquent balances or without adequate payment arrangements may be forwarded to a collection agency or attorney.
At the patient's request, a detailed bill may be provided. The health network will send periodic statements to the patient or responsible party in an effort to keep them informed as to the status of all open accounts.
Medicare policies
The health network bills Medicare for inpatient and outpatient services. If additional insurance information is provided at the time of service, they will also be billed. Patients are responsible for any charges not covered by Medicare and/or your additional insurance.
Medicare deductible and coinsurance amounts for 2015
Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) costs
Part A monthly premium: Most people don't pay a Part A premium because they paid Medicare taxes while working. If you don't get premium-free Part A, you pay up to $407 each month.
For a hospital stay in 2015, you pay:
- $1,260 deductible per benefit period
- $0 for the first 60 days of each benefit period
- $315 per day for days 61–90 of each benefit period
- $630 per "lifetime reserve day" after day 90 of each benefit period (up to a maximum of 60 days over your lifetime)
- All costs beyond lifetime reserve days
For a skilled nursing facility stay in 2015, you pay:
- $0 for the first 20 days of each benefit period
- $157.50 per day for days 21–100 of each benefit period
- All costs for each day after day 100 of the benefit period
Medicare Part B (medical insurance) costs
Part B monthly premium: Some people automatically get Part B. Most people pay the standard premium of $104.90. You pay $147 per year for your Part B deductible. However, if your modified adjusted gross income as reported on your IRS tax return from 2 years ago is above a certain amount, you may pay more.
If you have questions about your Part B premium, call Social Security at 1‑800‑772‑1213. TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778. If you pay a late enrollment penalty, these amounts may be higher.
Part B deductible: $147 per year
Blue Cross policies
We bill all Blue Cross plans for inpatient and outpatient services. Blue Cross plans generally have deductibles and/or coinsurances. The deductible is an annual expense which you must pay before your insurance benefits can begin. Coinsurance is the portion of the total bill which is the patient and guarantor's responsibility to pay.
Commercial insurance policies
We bill all carriers for inpatient and outpatient services. Complete billing information required by the carrier or employer must be provided at the time of registration or admission. If your bill is the result of an accident/injury caused by someone else, remember that disputes between you and others do not, and should not, involve the health network.
Need help? Call our Patient Accounting Department at 1-888-378-0352 for more details.

Nice work! You forgot to put color in his eyes/Iris's, and in some parts the writing of the poster is hard to read, but overall you communicated the feel you were going for quite well, a quirky fun action movie poster. Your colors and composition work well, and the characters form and expression are solid. Keep it up and thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Didn't really think colors in his iris would matter at the time I was painting it...
It was only after I made it black when I couldn't go back...I hope that didn't sound racist or anything :I

The make up artist whom I had a consultation with recommended this color for me. It`s a lovely purply-rose, very moisturizing on my lips. The color stands out nicely against my fair skin, and it works great with strong eye make up. The only complaint I have is that it doesn`t stay put too long and needs constant reapplying. However, being so sheer it is easy to apply straight from the bullet.

Don't buy this if you are looking for anything more than a lipstick version of a nice gloss. This is exactly what I wanted, so it works though...a glossy, sheer lipstick. If you are looking for a lipstick to make a difference, this isn't the one. Sweetie is a purple tinged pink shade, sheer and glossy (lustre finish). It actually reminds me of a more sheer glossy version of Hot Gossip. It is one of those uber neutral colors like Syrup or Patisserie on me, but does provide a bit more color than those two did on me. This is not the shade to buy if you want dramatic (bright or dark) color on your lips. I have very mauvey leaning brown toned lips and Sweetie is great when I want to soften up the look. Sweetie is not MLBB, it is a bit more, but hardly a "wow" color...more of a workhorse on me. It can work with both my summer and winter looks. One of the safest, no brainer shades I own. It sounds kind of boring, but it just works when other shades over complicate things, but you want more than lip balm. I was so "eh" about it at first, I almost returned it, but then I just kept grabbing it on running out the door days for a quick polish. Next thing you know we have been together for a few months. :) FYI-I am NW20, deep soft winter, brown eyes, mauve lips.

I wanted a sheer pink lipstick, so I decided to try this lipstick out. MAC describes this as an "ultra sweet pink", whatever that means.. First, I have really pigmented lips, and I know this is a Lustre finish, but I honestly couldn't see anything on my lips, no color, no shine, no shimmer..nothing! I have a lot of MAC lipsticks that I have and love, but I was really disappointed in this shade. Unfortunately, I'm going to return this for something else.

I went to the nearest mac store and bought this lipstick today based off the reviews I read on here and on other sites so this was a blind buy for me but it was definitely worth it. I was looking for a lipstick that I could wear to work and school and for an everyday lipstick that wouldnt be too much because most of the l/s i own is a bit too loud to be worn everyday. I'm medium brown and I have pinkish lips already and this is definitely a MLBB lipstick because it's nearly the same color as my lips it just gives them a little pink pop without being over the top and it matched my skintone perfectly. This is the kinda lipstick that works with just about every skin complexion out there. I love this lipstick and definitely will be wearing a lot.

I can�t tell you how much I love this lipstick! I�m obsessed with MAC and I tried this lipstick on and it looks sooo beautiful on my lips! I�m NC30 for reference. I highly recommend it to everyone. Go try it out! It�s a gorgeous color and versatile and long lasting! I really love the color it looks really nice.

I'm not really a lipstick person,but the closest Mac to me is a counter. Therefore I can only B2M for l/s. A yr or 2 ago I had quite a few empties so I looked online,YT for colors(every day shades pink,nude) that were Wove friendly. Sweetie was one of those colors. As soon as I told the sa it was the color I wanted,she said it would look good me,Nc45 & that its a pretty color. Sure thing,I luv this color on! I usually use it for my neutral lippie. I've worn it with pink Rimmel gloss,Galaxy rose Cremesheen...which is Gawjus! And whirl liner. For me its a nice pop of color. As long as I can B2M,this will be my choice.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brown, Wavy, Medium

For years I never had the need to splurge my money on high end lippies, since I'm a complete drugstore junkie. But after hearing nothing but good things about MAC, the craving FINALLY kicked in. Sweetie was the first one I tried on and OMG..so gorgeous! I fell in love instantly. It feels very comfortable and moisturizing on my lips. It's a lustre finish so the color is on the sheer side, but it's very buildable! The name basically describes its color in a nutshell..a light pinky-berry shade with slight shimmer. I personally think that it's a versatile color and can compliment just about any skin tone. So if you like a bit of color on your lips that's not too overwhelming, that gives you a fresh pretty glow, I def recommend sweetie!
Love love love! <3

Beautiful pink lipstick! I have medium-brown skin, and this pink is absolutely gorgeous. Better yet, it looks equally flattering on fair skin. It's a medium pink with the slightest bits of shimmer. The consistency is very smooth and application easy. It can be worn in a light layer so it's just pink enough to brighter your lips and glisten in the light. Or it can be built up for a more noticeable color. I'm sure it can be closely duplicated in color but this one is worth it. Definately a throw-in-your-purse shade.

Best Budget Boutique Hotel (2009)
The inclusion of an iPod-ready adapter for an in-room stereo is a hotel convenience not to be underestimated. Taking your iPod to the lobby bar and subjecting guests to your favorite Japanese tracks during Aloft's weekly DJ nights is added value we just can't put a price tag on. That's why we're up for staying at Aloft even though we live a skip away. Owned and crafted by W Hotels, Aloft packs enough swank to make this budget boutique hotel seem more like a Scottsdale club with beds than a motel near ASU. Amenities include a sweet pool, fire pits, and milk and cookies on demand. Have we found Heaven?

The Connector for Microsoft Dynamics team is pleased to announce that the current version of Connector for Microsoft Dynamics (V2 RU1) fully supports the recently released Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 product.
If you have Connector for Microsoft Dynamics version 126.96.36.199 or 2.1.317.1 then you are ready to integrate data to and from Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 on-premises. If you do not have one of these versions of Connector for Microsoft Dynamics the most current one, 2.1.317.1, can be downloaded from PartnerSource using the link provided in the "Related Links" section of this blog or by using this direct link to the PartnerSource download page: https://mbs.microsoft.com/partnersource/deployment/resources/productreleases/MDNAV2009R2_CRMConnector.htm
Is there list of the Dynamic Connector versions and numbers anywhere
You also need to name it better to something like the Dynamic Connector, you can't search for
the connector for Microsoft dynamics and then put in your problem afterwords.
@Hosk - there is a list of versions here: blogs.msdn.com/.../connector-for-microsoft-dynamics-version-history.aspx
The name of the product is not something that is under the product team's control. The current name is "Connector for Microsoft Dynamics" and when I Bing that the second link is this blog and the first is the MSDN dowload site for the user guides, as it should be since we are trying to make this blog and the user guides the first stop in anyone's Connector for Microsoft Dyanmcis related searches. The original name was "Microsoft Dynamics Adapter for Microsoft Dynamics GP 10.0 and Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0" so I think that current name is a vast improvment. The kind folks that run CustomerSource, PartnerSource, and the Dynamics Communities are making it easier to search for Connector related content as well. As always, thanks for the feedback.
Is Connector version 2.1.317.1 supported with NAV 2013? I see 126.96.36.199 or 2.1.371.1 are supported, being that were between the 2 supported versions will we need to upgrade?
There was a typo in this post that has been corrected. Thank you for pointing it out!

A FORMER Scotland rugby international has been jailed for six years for sexually abusing two young girls over an 11-year period.
Norman Pender, 65, of Hawick in the Borders, was convicted of three charges of lewd and libidinous behaviour and one of sexual assault. A charge of raping one of the girls was found not proven.
The offences were committed at various address in Hawick in the 1980s and 1990s.
Loading article content
Pender was convicted after a trial during which he pleaded not guilty, forcing his victims to give evidence against him. But yesterday it emerged he had admitted sexually abusing the girls. He went to trial because he denied the rape allegation, but admitted to social workers he had had sex with a girl when she was over 16, and claimed it was consensual.
Jailing Pender at the High Court in Paisley, judge Lord Stewart told him: "This is a terrible fall from grace.
"These were innocent victims and you were in a position of trust. There seems to be an unfounded belief in some quarters that you are completely innocent and these girls made up these allegations."
One of his victims, now aged 35, said in evidence she repeatedly told Pender "no" and tried to fight him off, but he was too strong. She added: "I felt dirty, sick, lonely and ashamed. I knew it was wrong. He told me not to say anything. I was scared to tell anyone.
Promoted stories
"He said I was a child and nobody would believe me. I tried to stop him doing what he was doing, but he just did it anyway.
"I was terrified of annoying him because when he kicked off I was terrified of him."
When asked by advocate depute Alison Di Rollo, prosecuting, how often the sexual abuse took place, she replied: "Far too many times to count."
Pender abused his second victim, now 26, from the age of 10 for a year. He sexually abused her between 10 and 15 times, the court heard.
Pender served as a LibDem councillor on Scottish Borders Council between 1998 and 2003. He was also chairman of the Hawick Lady Riders Association and campaigned for women to ride in the town's Common Riding Festival.
The prop forward, who was capped for his country in the 1970s and played for Hawick RFC, preyed on the young girls between April 1986 and October 1997.
He abused his first victim from when she was eight until 19 and began abusing his second victim in January 1996 when she was nine.
Pender is a first offender whose abuse came to light when one of his victims went to the police.
Ms Di Rollo, who is head of the National Sexual Crimes Unit, told the jury: "This trial has shone a light on dark and disturbing secrets.
"What Mr Pender did was desperately and wholly wrong. By silencing his two victims in a climate of fear, he succeeded in the callous and calculated abuse of two girls."
Pender did not give evidence in court but claimed both his victims had made up lies about him.
Advocate Iain Paterson, defending, said his client had raised tens of thousands of pounds for worthy causes. Mr Paterson added: "The reason he went to trial was the rape allegation against him."
Pender was also placed on the sex offenders' register.

A rich internet application for remote visualization and collaborative annotation of digital slides in histology and cytology

In the field of digital pathology and biomedical research, there is a strong need for efficient tools to build pathology atlases and to foster collaboration between researchers, pathologists (e.g. for inter-observer concordance studies) and computer scientists (e.g. for development and extensive validation of novel computer vision algorithms). Although many efforts have been made in virtual microscopy and telepathology in the recent years [1–4] , many of the resulting frameworks are not fully web-based therefore limiting collaboration, or they are vendor-dependant therefore limited in terms of supported image formats, or they use proprietary modules that prevent cross-browser compatibility and seamless execution on mobile devices, or they have restricted functionalities (e.g. images can only be annotated manually with image-level tags or fixed markers), or their design limits their application domain (e.g. education only, or disease-specific). In this paper, we present a general-purpose, rich internet application using recent web technologies and integrating various open-source tools, standards and generic algorithms for remote visualization and collaborative annotation of digital slides.
Our application follows a representational state transfer (REST) architecture style that structures database resources and that standardizes communication interfaces. In such a setting, each resource can be referenced by a uniform resource locator (URL) and they can be located at different physical sites and updated/deleted if necessary. By following these programming guidelines, we defined a RESTful JSON application programming interface (API) to allow communication between servers and clients.
On the server-side, our underlying data model allows to create multiple projects, where each project corresponds to a specific study or experiment. A project is described by a list of authenticated users with permission rights, a list of digital slide images, an ontology definition with domain-specific, user-defined, vocabulary terms, and annotations (regions of interest) associated to digital slides and drawn by users. All project data are stored in a spatial, relational database (PostgreSQL with PostGIS extension). The core of our application uses the Grails framework based on Spring, with Groovy dynamic programming language for Java, and Hibernate framework with its spatial extension for object/relational mapping.
On the client-side (i.e. the Web client), the source code is based on model-view-controller design patterns and it communicates directly through the API to visualize and edit resources. Data can also be retrieved or updated by third-party computer programs through the API.
In order to visualize whole-slide images at multiple resolutions in traditional web clients, we implemented the web interface with fully Javascript interfaces and libraries (including JQuery, Backbone.js and Twitter Bootstrap components). Visible parts of high-resolution images are delivered through distributed image tile servers (using IIPImage system) that supports TIFF and JPEG2000 image formats, and it was combined with the OpenSlide library to further support various digital slide image formats (Aperio SVS, Hamamatsu VMS, 3DHistech Mirax, ...). Additional caching mechanisms are implemented in-between the image servers and clients (using Varnish library) to speed up the delivery of the most frequent data.
We implemented image processing routines and a recent content-based image retrieval (CBIR) algorithm to speed up the exploration and annotation of digital slides. The image processing routines are based on ImageJ/FIJI plugins and include various image filtering operations (e.g. binarization, splitting color channels, and color deconvolution) that can be applied on-the-fly on image tiles to ease image inspection, and adaptive thresholding operations that can be used to semi-automatically draw annotation geometries around objects of interest. The CBIR algorithm uses random subwindow extraction and vectors of random tests on raw pixel values [5]. It is used to search visually similar annotations and automatically suggests ontology terms through an average voting scheme based on computed image similarities with cropped images of previously indexed annotations. We implemented the CBIR algorithm using an efficient key-value store based on hash tables (using Kyoto Cabinet or Redis NoSQL databases).
Our application runs in any popular web browsers and on mobile devices without the need for proprietary browser add-ons. It has been used for one year by our collaborators from two geographically distant locations through the Internet. About one thousand whole-slide images of lung cancer studies (corresponding to roughly 1TBytes of data) acquired by two slide scanners (Olympus VS100 with 20X magnification and Hamamatsu Nanozoomer 2.0 with 40X magnification) have been uploaded. These include Hematoxylin&Eosin (H&E) stained histology images of experimental mice, and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cytology images. Three ontologies describing various tissue types (e.g. bronchus, blood vessel, cartilage, adenocarcinoma, nodular lymphoid hyperplasia,. ..) and various cell types (e.g. squamous epithelial cells, macrophages, eosinophils, neutrophils, mucosecreting cells, ciliated bronchial cells,...) were defined and used by seven users (pathologists, pneumologists, and technicians) to annotate more than five thousand regions of interest.
Although the amount of data our software is already dealing with is rather large, it is expected that the wider adoption of digital acquisition equipments will generate much larger datasets. The design of our software allows its scaling to larger sets of images as most of the components (e.g. image servers, and image retrieval algorithm) can be distributed on multiple machines. It is also important to note that the architecture allows local configurations, ie. images and data have not to be stored on a central, external, server but they can remain on servers at local institutions, therefore ensuring confidentiality and local administration. It is worth noting that although we do not rely on latest standard definitions in digital pathology ([1]), we plan to extend our software to support these standards once they will be implemented in the field. In the future, our architecture will also allow us to add new image formats without affecting the source code of the core application.
Regarding our preliminary evaluation with the CBIR algorithm, our results are promising for automatic term suggestion but further validation has to be conducted. Indeed, recognition rates for less frequent object types are lower, stressing the need for more manual annotations with respect to object types (e.g. mucosecreting cells were six times less frequently annotated than ciliated bronchial cells), and acquisition protocols (such as color stainings).
The proposed web software is generally applicable and its methodological choices open the door for large-scale distributed and collaborative image annotation and exploitation projects. Future work includes the integration and validation of general-purpose machine learning techniques to further facilitate annotation and quantification of specific visual phenotypes and to support their meta-analysis. We also plan to extend our framework to other types of multidimensional imaging data related to other diseases or biological processes, and we also intend to adapt its use for education purposes.

Our Mysterious Stranger
Jones, Malcolm, Newsweek
Byline: Malcolm Jones
Twain made us wait 100 years for this memoir. He's still an enigma shrouded in a white suit.
Mark Twain is surely America's best-known author. It is tempting to say he is also the country's favorite writer, but that can't be true. Too many grandparents have given too many copies of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or The Prince and the Pauper to too many grandchildren, who then went about for the rest of childhood under a cloud of undischarged obligation while those books sat on numberless shelves, unread. If that didn't finish off any appetite for Twain, there was always the high-school ritual of force-feeding The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Lucky the adolescent who lives in a school district that has banned Huck. There is nothing like a banned book to turn a teenager into a devoted reader.
All that pales, however, beside the worst crime ever committed against children in the name of Twain: the Claymation version of No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger. In this 1986 film, Twain's nihilistic little novel gets boiled down to a brief episode in a movie that also extracts material from several other Twain works, including Tom Sawyer and Letters From the Earth. But The Mysterious Stranger outdoes them all. In less than five minutes a Claymation Satan visits with Tom, Becky Thatcher, and Huck; builds them a village; then destroys it with lightning and an earthquake that swallows up all the cute little clay villagers, farmers, soldiers, and one particularly pitiful cow. It is altogether terrifying. One can only shudder at the thought of countless impressionable, unsuspecting children curled up in front of the television and being scarred for life after blithely stumbling across this ink-dark work. Anyone who thinks that there is no such thing as too much Twain has not seen it. Sometimes you truly can take a good thing too far.
The Claymation Stranger doesn't have much in common with Twain's story except for it's nihilism. But it's the best possible proof that you shouldn't foist Twain off on the young just because he wrote books with children in them. If you take Twain for granted, if you think he's nothing but a kindly, harmless old gent (and even more harmless for being dead), you're not only wrong--you're going to get hurt. A dead bee can sting you and, even from the grave, Twain still knows how to sting.
When he was alive, Twain was well known twice over--as a monologuist on the lecture circuit and again as a writer. His life and work have inspired dozens of plays, movies, television specials, puppet shows, and at least one Broadway musical. And yet, while no American author may be better known, none is more elusive. Every time you think you know him, you read something new that rearranges your opinion. Did the same man really write Huck and Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc? Did the author of Tom Sawyer, one of the sunniest books in our literature, also write No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger, one of the darkest? The more you read, the more complicated he seems.
Now we must get reacquainted all over again. In November the University of California Press publishes the first installment of Twain's three-volume autobiography. This edition will be nothing like the previously published versions cobbled together by the author's editors and executors after he died. Instead, for the first time, it will be the autobiography he wanted--a disorganized, almost stream-of-consciousness set of recollections unlike any memoir ever seen, but pure, uncut Twain from start to finish. (For a sample, check out the hilariously subversive excerpt on page 41.) Just don't think that this settles the issue of his identity. On the contrary, as delightful as it is, the autobiography only compounds his protean elusiveness. He is still a mystery, a riddle wrapped in an enigma shrouded in a white suit.
The mystery begins with what to call him, Mark Twain or Samuel L. Clemens? …

St. Lucie County Sheriff Mascara reports 7 percent drop in serious crime in first six months of 2012 compared with first six months of 2011
Serious crime investigated by the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office dropped in the first six months of 2012 compared with the same time period in 2011, according to St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken J. Mascara.
"For the first half of the year, we recorded decreases in burglary, theft, robbery, motor vehicle theft and homicide," Sheriff mascara said. "Aggravated assaults and batteries were up by a small percentage, with larger increases in robberies and forcible sexual offenses, two crimes of opportunity."
Sheriff Mascara said he is hopeful that crime for the entire 2012 year will also drop. In 2011, for the first six months of the year compared with that same time period in 2010, there was a 6 percent increase, followed by a 9 percent increase for the 2011 calendar year.
In general, serious crime investigated by the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office peaked in the late 1930s and has decreased steadily since then. In 2011, total serious crimes investigated by the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office numbered 2,188, almost the same as in 1999, when the Sheriff's Office recorded 2,182 serious crimes.
The largest percentage drop was in burglaries, which declined by 14 percent in the first half of 2012 compared with the first half of 2011.

Minnie Bishop
Part records technician, part social worker, part comedienne, Minnie Bishop is a pleasant surprise when you walk into the Miami Beach Police Department's snazzy building at 1100 Washington Avenue. Even if it's five minutes till closing time, Bishop will deal with your problem without the hostile stare we've come to expect from government service workers. With a hearty laugh and a "Hold on, baby, we'll see what we can do for you," Bishop swings into action, brown eyes sparkling behind wire-frame glasses. She can help a domestic-abuse victim needing a battery report, fax police documents to the U.S. Attorney's Office, and keep up on the office gossip all at the same time. Bishop also has a million stories for every occasion, some sad, some funny, whatever she thinks you need to hear. "I've laughed at my desk and cried at my desk," she says.

Within the first hours of the war, Iraq fired Scud missiles -- that Hans Blix could not find and Saddam claimed not to have -- at American and British troops.
Don't expect the antiwar crowd to notice this. Up to the very last minute, they were arguing that inspections had "worked." Having been proved so wrong, they will not reconsider. They will instead do what they always do -- assume that the world will forget and move on to the next thing.
For those not blinded by America hatred, this is a moment to reflect on the great good luck that continues to bless the United States of America.
Who would have guessed that the amiable but unprepossessing son of George H.W. Bush -- a prankster and overly enthusiastic drinker in his youth, a man (like Moses?) who often tripped over his words -- would become a president of such vision and high purpose?
He does not choose the easy path. Again and again during his presidency, he has ignored the chorus of conventional wisdom and charted his own path. In this, he is very like Ronald Reagan. Think of the tax cut. It's small beer compared to war and peace, but the contours of his personality were clear then. Though the Democrats (who then controlled the Senate) and most of the press decried the tax cut as unfair and irresponsible, the president persisted -- confidently assuring Congress that the tax cut
was like Goldilocks' porridge, neither too big nor too small, but just right. It passed.
But it was on foreign policy that this president's vision has proved particularly sure and wise. From the moment those planes struck our nation, the president perceived that we were in a new war and understood just whom we were fighting. Many liberals did not and do not. They insisted that the terror attacks made the task of creating a Palestinian state all the more urgent. The president declined to buckle to this conventional wisdom. They urged that attacks on Afghanistan would ignite the Muslim world against us and would in any case result in military quagmire if not defeat. Bush stood his ground. And they argued vehemently that a war to topple Saddam Hussein could be legitimate only if France and Cameroon approved. But the war has begun -- and it carries with it the good wishes and cooperation of 35 other nations.

As if we didn't already have enough reasons to limit sugar in our diet. Sugar intake, especially refined sugar, and excess unhealthy carbohydrate intake, can lead to weight gain and obesity, diabetes, and sugar is even suspected to fuel cancer cells and provide instant food for them, making it easier for them to live unencumbered in the body.
But now there is yet another reason to limit the tasty and many times addictive sugars from your diet. Excessive sugar intake can lead to early and accelerated aging skin. The reason for this is that glucose, which all sugar is converted into in the body, is an active agent in providing the breakdown proteins for collagen, that all important connective fiber that keeps our skin smooth and supple and makes it so that wrinkles do not form on the skin.
The reason we have such nice, smooth skin when we are younger is because age has not yet begun to break down this natural connective fiber in our skin, and so our skin is more "filled out" and tough, and it does not show wrinkles as readily. So, when you consume more sugar, you accelerate the breakdown of collagen in your skin, and you are essentially damaging your skin. This is why many people who over consume sugar tend to look older, with more sallow and wrinkled skin at an earlier age.
Not only do we have several health reasons for not consuming sugar, but apparently now also you can enjoy nicer skin from limiting your sugar intake. Heck, if it doesn't appeal to your sense of well being and health, maybe it will appeal to your sense of vanity, I know for me it appeals a little to both

Rangers can't solve Bishop in 3-0 loss to Senators
|New York Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist covers the post as Ottawa Senators' Chris Phillips (4), Chris Neil (25) and Rangers' Michael Del Zotto watch during the first period of their NHL hockey game, Thursday, March 28, 2013, in Ottawa, Ontario. (AP Photo/The Canadian Press, Fred Chartrand)
OTTAWA (AP) — Ben Bishop turned aside 24 shots to earn his second career NHL shutout and the Ottawa Senators beat the New York Rangers 3-0 on Thursday night.
Andre Benoit, Guillaume Latendresse and Colin Greening scored for the Senators, and Mika Zibanejad and Chris Neil chipped in with two assists apiece.
Henrik Lundqvist made 26 saves for the Rangers, who applied heavy pressure while trailing 1-0 midway through the third period but could not get the puck past Bishop. The Ottawa goaltender was unflappable, throwing his body in front of a Ryan McDonagh shot and using the shaft of his stick to block another.
When the Senators finally relieved the pressure after about a minute, they went down ice and Latendresse beat Lundqvist with a low shot from the faceoff circle. Greening scored into an empty net with just over two minutes to play.
The Senators had the only goal of the opening two periods when Benoit let loose a point shot that found the back of the net with Anton Stralman in the penalty box for tripping.
Lundqvist was visibly upset with McDonagh immediately following the goal. Not only did Lundqvist not see the shot, but he took an elbow to the head from his defenseman just before it went in.
McDonagh was in between Lundqvist and Ottawa forward Chris Neil battling fighting for position in front of the net.
Neil won that battle to help the Senators take a 1-0 lead which proved to be all they needed.
Notes: Darroll Powe and Matt Gilroy were scratches for the Rangers, while Mike Lundin and Peter Regin sat for the Senators. ... The Senators swept the three-game season series. ... The Rangers came in with the fewest average penalty minutes per game in the NHL at 9.9. ... C Brian Boyle played in his 300th NHL game and 264th with the Rangers. ... The Senators own the league's best home record at 13-2-3. ... Ottawa came into the game with an NHL-best 2.06 goals allowed per game.
