Though a reported $684 million in taxpayer funds has been designated to promote Obamacare, health care providers are still failing to attract young, healthy Americans who will shore up the cost. Their answer? Frat boy talk is the best outreach, at least according to the Colorado Consumer Health Initiative — which recently wooed males with a raucous pitch for "bro-surance" that included a beer keg.
But alas. Make room for the unsavory term "ho-surance," which has now entered the national discourse. The same Denver-based group is pitching young women with titillating suggestions:
"Let's get physical. OMG, he's hot! Let's hope he's as easy to get as this birth control. My health insurance covers the pill, which means all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers. I got insurance. Now you can too. Thanks Obamacare!" the ad proclaims. Twenty more pitches rife with hip references can be found here: Doyougotinsurance.com.
Hubbub has ensued in social media. Multiple waggish critics proclaimed the ads promoted "ho-surance" while others recalled the appearance of Sandra Fluke, the young woman who supported "reproductive justice" and supported a health care mandate for birth control during a 2012 appearance before Congress. Young conservatives, meanwhile, condemned the Colorado outreach.
"This new Obamacare GotInsurance ad has got to be offensive to women, correct, or am I just a square?" tweeted NRA talk radio host Cameron Gray.
"Under 30? This is what pathetic old people who make ads for a living think of you," declared David Fredosso, a columnist who created a parody of the outreach using embattled Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, with the caption "Crack got you down? Well Obamacare can help you get on your feet."
And the effect on young women?
"The sad part is, 'Thanks Obamacare' actually thinks the ads they just put out targeting young women are helping," commented Townhall news editor Katie Pavlich, who is 25, incidentally. "Hey thanks, Obamacare, for erasing what feminists have been fighting for decades to achieve: respect."
The Republican National Committee has countered with a quartet of new videos aimed at the young and restless; find them here. And on Wednesday, C-SPAN broadcasts a live hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee examining the troubled implementation of the health care law, beginning at 9:30 a.m.
A moment of disquiet on Capitol Hill? This must be it: "Americans' approval of the way Congress is handling its job has dropped to 9 percent, the lowest in Gallup's 39-year history of asking the question," reports Frank Newport, director of Gallup.
"The Obamacare Dozen"
— Those Democratic senators up for re-election, who cast a decisive vote for Obamacare and are "starting to panic" that health care reform will compromise their chances in the 2014 midterms.
"The Obamacare Dozen are receiving an overdue education in the damaging consequences of the bill they supported, all of which were predicted by critics in 2010. Any one of these senators could have prevented the current madness by voting no," reports a Wall Street Journal editorial, which also coined the term.
And the Dirty Dozen? They are: Sens. Mark Begich of Alaska, Richard J. Durbin of Illinois, Al Franken of Minnesota, Kay R. Hagan of North Carolina, Mary L. Landrieu of Louisiana, Jeff Merkley of Oregon, Mark L. Pryor of Arkansas, Jack Reed of Rhode Island, Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, Mark Udall of Colorado, Tom Udall of New Mexico and Mark R. Warner of Virginia.
What with recent White House news that some 50,000 people have signed up for Obamacare, the National Republican Congressional Committee points out that there are more 100-year-olds in the U.S. — 53,364 based on Census figures — than health care enrollees. But there is a tie, the Republicans admit.
The Guinness Book of World Records receives an average 50,000 requests a year from those seeking recognition for the biggest, the tallest and other designations.
There's another reason to be uneasy about Obamacare, predicts Dr. Prakash Masand, a psychiatrist who is now an educational consultant and a former consulting professor of psychiatry at Duke University Medical Center.
"On Jan. 1, tens of millions of people will be eligible for mental health and substance abuse services, which are no longer an option and must be included in a health insurance policy," he says.
"Obamacare isn't adding more physicians, but instead is bringing millions more patients to the already shortage of qualified mental health specialists. So while it's a nice thought that everyone has access to care, the reality is that the system won't be able to accommodate the influx of eligible new patients," Dr. Masand notes.
There is considerable glee among Democrats who believe they will rule politics forever and ever because there's no unity or mission in the Republican Party anymore. But wait. It may be time for the Democrats to face the same issue.
"Liberal leaders want Hillary Clinton to face a primary challenge in 2016 if she decides to run for president. The goal of such a challenge wouldn't necessarily be to defeat Clinton. It would be to prevent her from moving to the middle during the Democratic primary," says Alexander Bolton, a Senate reporter for The Hill.
Yes, well. That dreaded, pesky middle.
"I do think the country would be well served if we had somebody who would force a real debate about the policies of the Democratic Party and force the party to debate positions and avoid a coronation," Roger Hickey, co-director of the aggressive progressive group Campaign for America's Future, tells Mr. Bolton.
The public is not keen on the proverbial nanny state, as envisioned by New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and other public officials. While 63 percent of Americans say that obesity has an impact on society, 54 percent also say that the government should not play a role in reducing obesity. Thirty-seven percent of Democrats and 77 percent of Republicans agree. So says a new Pew Research Center poll released Tuesday.
Citizens, in fact, have gotten very succinct in what they will and will not abide. Two-thirds favor restaurants offering calorie counts on menus while 55 percent approve of a ban on TV ads for unhealthy foods during children's programming. But 52 percent condemn the plan to prohibit the use of trans fats in food, 64 percent oppose raising taxes on sugar-laden soft drinks and other temptations while more than two-thirds oppose limits on soft drink sizes in restaurants and convenience stores.
• 90 percent of Americans say the "people in Washington are out of touch with the rest of the country."
• 85 percent agree that "the people running the country don't really care what happens to you."
• 80 percent believe that the rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer.
• 69 percent think that most "people with power" try to take advantage of them.
• 61 percent agree that what they think "doesn't count very much anymore."
• 38 percent feel left out of things in their own personal environment.

text: My husband and I went here on a Saturday night around 8 with no reservation. We called ahead to get reservations and were told we couldn't get in till 11 but the bar was first come first serve with a full menu available. We decided to go that route. Upon arrival we were told that the wait for bar seating would be 45 minutes, so she took our number to call us when our turn was up. The bar area is only about 8 seats and they maybe have 20 tables in the place so if you want to eat here put a res in early. The actual wait was only 25 min and I'm so glad we came. I can't wait to try more menu items. We had the scallops, the meatballs and the tile fish, all were fantastic and our bartender was very helpful as well.

Honda's are way better than Toyota,,,Toyota's fall apart, you have to take a Honda apart.........ReplyDelete
Honda's are quite competitive against Toyota in South Africa. And over here, Toyota holds their value due to their reliability. I've owned three Corolla's so far and all of them did over 350000kms without as much as a hiccup. If they do fall apart it's due to bad maintenance.Delete
over long distance journey this is the best car you can ever want, it comfortable, smooth and can compete with the bigger engines on long distance in terms of speed. I will admit it start slowly but once it gets going, ull love the ride, Ofcourse it lacks directional drive in windy conditions. be carefull in throttle at startup though as it said you'll have to apply to get going.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you for commenting, I agree the car is very comfortable on long distance trips.Delete
Try a Ford Taurus or Chevy Cavalier. Also the Dodge Neon. I'm sure you could find some excellent deals on these 3.ReplyDelete

Im looking at buying a used car for about R 100 000, is it true that Honda civic parts are expensive compared to Toyotas and also Nissan Tiida s resale value is it as good as the Honda and Toyota? Im looking at getting an automatic.ReplyDeleteReplies
Autos are slightly more expensive than manuals, no matter the brand and from past experiences Honda parts are more expensive than Toyota's.Delete
The Tiida is an excellent car but, unfortunately their resale value isn't. But if you are looking at a used Tiida, you should get one at a very reasonable price with low mileage as well.
Good review. Thanks.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the complement! :)Delete
I own a 2012 Corolla 1.3 Impact and travel quite extensively; yes whilst the 1.3 is underpowered the car is quite stable on the road except in windy conditions. The trick is down change before the incline in order to maintain your speed. Personally the down side to this car is the cheap quality of the foam used in the seats especially the lumbar support. I find after a long trip my shoulder and neck goes into a spasm. Otherwise an economical car.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks for the feedback Cecil. It's always good to get feedback from someone who actually owns the car.Delete
Yeah nice to know about this car more.I test it personally in my workshop and its really a very awesome car with its specs it looks cool and engine is of good quality and working is well done.However if you want to check the Vin of your car so side a look on vin vw decoder.ReplyDelete

Hi,i own a 2012 proffesional 1.3,what i really dont like about the car is the sense of direction in windy conditions,it is actually very dangerous,what can i do to counter this?put on bigger wheels?i dont know it is obviously a factory mistake,at 45000km the seal between the gearbox and enjin started leaking,i was very upset over this because it is still a new car if u compare it to my 523i bmw 1999 model ,with 250000km,so i am so far not very happy,i was so usedto the power of my bmw and yes durability,maybe was not the lightest vehicle wher it comes to petrol but i will swear my life on my bmw,what a solid car,in 6 years never gave me any problems whatsoever,just start up and go,the power is rhesame as the day the car rolled out of the carlot brand new,sound inside car awsome,stability in the wind awsume,sumtimes i would use the transporting heavy stuff in the bood,handling was the same and car barely dropped or took noticed of it,i tried it with the toyota,wjat a joke,car was hanging at the back bouncing everywher,no i am truly sorry,i never should have sold my bmw and cant wait to own thatold model bmw again,parts i get everywher aswell,they so cheap u can just buy2 bmw,s and put one in ur yard if u need parts,NO to toyota And yes please to my bmwReplyDeleteReplies
Hi Anon, there is a big difference in weight between the Corolla and the 523i, thus the difference in crosswind handling. Putting bigger wheels is not going to make a big difference. The oil leak would have been repaired under warranty and not cost you a cent.Delete
The 1.3 Professional was designed as a budget vehicle. So if you have the money the next time round then go for a BMW, otherwise don't expect fireworks from a budget car.
Cheers :)
Are you looking for the latest models of Toyota cars at the reasonable prices? Well, you can find them easily at alljapanesemotors.co.uk, read features, and make fair selection, as per your budget and requirement.ReplyDelete

How surprising! I don't ever remember having seen a drawing of yours with no feminine character. It's actually very good! I'd love to see more of this.
The scale and accuracy of your Enfield is impressive.

Amazing work!

Uniform makes me think of scenes in Grave of the Fireflies.....Nicely done, nice bg!!!
cool pics
I really like this!
Hm... IJA?
nope. Just an American Territorial with ties to the British Empire. You can't see it here, but that's an Alaska Flag on his right shoulder.
Oooh I see
Haha their colour schemes are so familiar (or I'm just not that good at differentiating)
So what Era is this?

Well, it looks like he's got a Lee-Einfield there, so I'm gonna take a guess and say yes.
Wow, the draw in the back has a nice style, could you try to create new draws with ?
Looks great!

Free Daily Horoscopes and Sagittarius Information
It is said that this Fire and Earth sign has very little to no chances of working out but a Sagittarius – Virgo lesbian relationship can always work out although, of course, it all depends on how much the two individuals want it to. A Sagittarius likes a lot of fun and parties whereas a Virgo is more practical and reserved. They may find some things in common but it's the differences they need to work on.
The centaur, which represents Sag, is half human – half horse. No, Sag lesbians may may not be hung like horses but they are in a lot of ways as alpha as any other male there is. They have balls, so to speak. Now even though they often shun away from responsibilities they like taking over in relationships. This may pose a problem for the Virgo also likes to take over in this department. The virgin would hold their ground to get what they want if they think what they want is the right thing but luckily for the fun loving Sag, Virgos also wouldn't mind hearing the other side's explanation to make things work out. They would settle if it works for both of them.
People with zodiacs ruled by the element Earth can be reserved but among all Earth signs the Virgo can be the sweetest. It is the only zodiac on the wheel that is represented by a female. They can be very much in touch with their feminine side but are tough and can go through . Virgo lesbians can weather any storm once they set their minds to it. Among the two zodiacs, Virgo thinks more long term. This will help the Sag partner walk on a straight line, no pun intended. The Sag is intelligent but can be easily distracted. Virgo will set Sag's perspective straight.
Intellectually, these two are great together. Sexually, the Virgo might want to stop being virginal and loosen up a bit. Sag can be very experimental and it wouldn't do you harm to try some things too.
The biggest difference between these two may be found in the commitment department. The ever grounded and practical Virgo may be reserved and calculating but they won't be scared of committing when the time is right. The Sag on the other hand, can be skeptical even if they know they are in love and that this is what they want. This could be because of other factors around them. A Virgo knows what they want and aren't scared of trying whatever measure to get it whereas a Sag would like to take the easiest way and if they can't may just want to go to the next prospect. Case in point, a Sagittarius-Virgo lesbian couple friend of mine broke up because the Virgo's family couldn't accept the relationship and although she was willing to fight for it, Sag got scared and made excuses to get away from the stressful relationship even though, through her own admission, she was still very much in love with the Virgo. Bottom line, whether the relationship will work or not depends on how much these two want to stay together.

Virgo here engaged to a sag. I love her to death, but some times I feel she tries to dominate me. Always asking who I'm with and where I am, and what have I been doing. She'll deny it though. She's sweet as pie and I love this woman to death. I sacrfice 4 her. But sometimes I feel like she doesn't do the same, do to her ex gf and how the ex was being taken care of. I feel I have to prove myself. Are communication isn't the best, but its something we have to work on. I'm willing to work for this relationship in order for it to survive.
Sagittarius babe:)

I'm talking a little bit to a Virgo ! She is sweet as sugar… but she's the one who wants to take it easy I'm ready pick up the speed already LOL but I'm patient and I love her understanding characteristics she doesn't push or pull and I respect it so I treat her the same.

I'm a Sagittarius woman and I'm in a relationship with a Virgo woman. Some of the Virgo characteristics are slacking big time and some of the Sagittarius characteristics aren't fully accurate. Virgo women are extremely jealous and overprotective, especially if their past is fucked up. Also, they don't enjoy talking about things in a civil manner without a third party. They either want to talk about it NOW or not at all , and if you don't have a mediator, be prepared for the worst and most dramatic, theatrical cussout of your life EVERY time you argue. They try to act like they don't need you at all because they're very strong-minded and stubborn, which is actually their own downfall because sagittarians can love you and then, flip, we don't give a f*ck. We're just cold hearted that way. When a Virgo truly loves you, being let go is not an option, no matter how much you've gotten on their nerves and under their skin. Sometimes, they can be spoiled and bratty when they don't get their way and don't care for logical explanation. It's not all bad at all. A Virgo woman can be charming, witty, charismatic and extremely goofy. Sagittarius and Virgo women can have lots of fun together even when they are both financial unstable. Both signs love to try new things and are extremely sexually explicit but will do their best to remain closet freaks when in company, unless their comfort level has been met in accordance with the person. While sagittarians live fabulous and out loud, Pda is not a Virgo's thing because it makes them feel vulnerable and exposed.
Sagittarians are not as freaky as our signs claim we are and we can be extremely cold hearted. Unlike Virgo, we're an extremely egotistical and proud sign, which can conflict with a Virgo nature in accordance with pda. It's our way of showing everyone YES, I LOVE HER AND EVERYONE NEEDS!! TO KNOW. That doesn't mean our eyes won't stray and that we won't think of acting on another because we will. Sagittarians are accustomed to having their hearts stomped on, and therefore, have the thickest skin of any other sign, which is where our fear of commitment stimulates from. If a Virgo is doing her job, she has nothing to worry about at all. All in all, a Sagittarius-Virgo lesbian relationship does work. Sagittarius needs to keep their eyes in their head and Virgo needs to ease up on their need to investigate and validate everything to feel secured in a relationship.

Article: The impact of arterial sclerosis on hearing with and without occupational noise exposure: A population-based aging study in males[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Arterial sclerosis contributes to inadequate blood supply to multiple organs, suggesting that general atherosclerosis may play an important role in the inner ear. Since noise is a major etiology for hearing loss, the aim of this study was to evaluate both the respective and the combined effects of arterial sclerosis and occupational noise exposure on hearing after accounting for age in middle-aged and elderly men. The evaluation was conducted using 773 subjects from a population-based sample of 1189 men, aged 40-83 years. The impact of carotid atherosclerosis (CA) or retinal arteriolosclerosis (RA) on hearing was assessed according to history of occupational noise exposure (Noise) obtained in a questionnaire. Differences in the mean pure-tone thresholds at each frequency, between the CA (+) and CA (-) groups or between the RA (+) and RA (-) groups, based on noise exposure were compared using the general linear model (GLM) Procedure in SAS, with adjustments for age. Then, the main effect of CA or RA, and the interactive effect of noise and either CA or RA on pure-tone threshold at seven frequencies were analyzed using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA), after adjusting for age. In the Noise (+) group, a statistically significant deterioration in hearing was found in the CA (+) group compared with the CA (-) group at 500 and 1000 Hz. The results in RA were significant at even lower frequencies than in CA. In the results from ANCOVA, the significant main effect of CA was shown in the pure-tone threshold at 8000 Hz, but not in the analysis of RA. A significant interactive effect of either CA or RA and Noise was observed in hearing at the range from 125 to 1000 Hz. The present study suggests that the impact of arterial sclerosis on hearing is limited but significantly hazardous in middle-aged and elderly men, and that arterial sclerosis exacerbates the deleterious effects of noise on hearing. Early recognition of arterial sclerosis might be contributory to the hearing prognosis after middle age, especially for noise-exposed men.
Article: Individual Differences in the Permeability of the Round Window: Evaluating the Movement of Intratympanic Gadolinium Into the Inner Ear[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Many recent studies have reported on intratympanic gentamicin therapy for the treatment of intractable Ménière's disease. Intratympanic administration of steroids has also been used to treat sudden sensorineural hearing loss. These intratympanic drug therapies are based on the assumption that the drug administered intratympanically enters the inner ear through the round window membrane. We used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to evaluate whether and how intratympanically administered gadolinium (Gd) enters the inner ear. GD hydrate was injected intratympanically through the tympanic membrane using a 23-G needle into 61 ears of 55 patients with inner ear diseases. The injected Gd was diluted 8-fold in saline for injection into 58 ears and 16-fold for 3 ears. Three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) imaging was performed using a 3-Tesla MRI unit 1 day after the intratympanic injection. In 53 of 61 ears, the Gd-containing inner ear was detected well as a high signal on 3D-FLAIR imaging. However, Gd was not visible in 2 ears with Ménière's disease and in 1 ear with profound deafness. The concentration of Gd in the perilymph was lower in 4 ears with Ménière's disease and 1 ear with delayed endolymphatic hydrops than after intratympanic administration of the 16-fold Gd dilution. Round window permeability was absent in 5% of ears, and 13% of ears had poor round window permeability. These results should be considered when planning intratympanic drug administration therapy to treat inner ear diseases.

ABSTRACT: Using three-dimensional real inversion recovery (3D-real IR) and three-dimensional fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (3D-FLAIR) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), various degrees of endolymphatic hydrops were observed in the basal and upper turns of the cochlea and in the vestibular apparatus after intratympanic gadolinium (Gd) injection. MRI may contribute to our understanding of inner ear diseases and may be a useful addition to intratympanic drug therapy in the management of inner ear diseases. To evaluate 3D-real IR MRI and 3D-FLAIR MRI with clinical symptoms and signs in patients with inner ear disease. Patients and methods: Gd was diluted in saline and injected intratympanically in 73 patients with inner ear disease. The endolymphatic space was evaluated with 3-Tesla MRI at 1 day after the intratympanic Gd injection. 3D-real IR MRI was generally better than 3D-FLAIR MRI in discriminating between the perilymphatic space and endolymphatic space in the cochlear turns and in the vestibular apparatus. However, when Gd concentration was insufficient in the perilymph, it was more difficult to visualize the Gd with 3D-real IR MRI than with 3D-FLAIR MRI. Endolymphatic hydrops was observed using MRI in patients with 'probable' Meniere's disease based on the criteria.
Article: Analyses of factors contributing to hearing aids use and both subjective and objective estimates of hearing[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The use of hearing aids, regardless actual implementation, may be interpreted as a cry for help in hearing difficulty. We assessed factors contributing to hearing aid possession and predicted needs of hearing assistance from the distribution of hearing level in self-estimated (subjective) hearing loss and hearing loss pointed out by others (objective) in a population-based aging cohort. Of 1192 men and 1163 women aged 40 to 84 years, the prevalence of hearing loss using the criteria of a mean hearing threshold>25dB at frequencies of 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz in the better ear was 23.6%. Hearing aids were possessed by 11.0% in the hearing loss group. Statistical analysis by gender was done to identify factors associated with hearing aid possession using stepwise multiple regression in which independent variables were age, hearing in the better and worse ear, and items from response to a questionnaire on self-estimated hearing loss, hearing loss pointed out by others, job, household income, financial satisfaction, education, housemate, how often others were talked to and how often those surveyed went out. Age, better-ear hearing, worse-ear hearing, and education statistically influenced hearing aid possession in men, and age, better-ear hearing, and hearing loss pointed out by others statistically influenced women. Age had a negative effect on hearing aid possession in both men and women, indicating that possession decreased with aging. Scattergrams were plotted with worse-ear hearing on the y axis and better-ear hearing on the x axis for 4 groups of respondents divided into groups with self-estimated hearing loss or hearing loss pointed out by others: (1) no subjective and objective hearing loss, (2) subjective but no objective hearing loss, (3) objective but no subjective hearing loss, and (4) both subjective and objective hearing loss. Many respondents had either subjective or objective or both subjective and objective hearing loss, even within 20 dB of hearing level of both ears in their 40s. These facts implied that early-stage candidates for hearing aids may not require threshold reduction, although aided thresholds were commonly used indicators in fitting.

ABSTRACT: There is evidence of an inverse association between cerebral infarction and tinnitus in this study. The effects of cerebral infarction on tinnitus could be explained by a neurophysiological model of tinnitus. We examined the relationship between tinnitus and brain MRI findings including cerebral infarction, brain atrophy, ventricular dilatation, and white matter lesions. This was a cross-sectional population-based study of 2193 subjects aged 41-82 years living in Aichi prefecture, Japan. Detailed questionnaires, pure tone audiometry, and brain MRI were performed. After adjusting for potential confounders in a multiple logistic analysis, cerebral infarction was inversely associated with tinnitus (odds ratio (OR)=0.649, 95% confidence interval (CI)=0.477-0.884). Cerebral infarctions of the basal ganglia (OR=0.542), thalamus (OR=0.441), and pons (OR=0.319) were especially associated with tinnitus. Brain atrophy, ventricular dilatation, and white matter lesions had no significant effects on the prevalence of tinnitus.

The St. Bernard is a giant dog. The average weight of the breed is between 140 and 264 lb (64–120 kg) or more and the approximate height at the withers is 27½ inches to 35½ inches (70 to 90 cm). The coat can be either smooth or rough, with the smooth coat close and flat. The rough coat is dense but flat, and more profuse around the neck and legs. The coat is typically a red color with white, or sometimes a mahogany brindle with white. Black shading is usually found on the face and ears. The tail is long and heavy, hanging low eyes should have naturally tight lids, with "haws only slightly visible". Sometimes the eyes, brown usually, can be icy blue, nearly white.
The ancestors of the St. Bernard share a history with the Sennenhunds, also called Swiss Mountain Dogs or Swiss Cattle Dogs, the large farm dogs of the farmers and dairymen of the livestock guardians, herding dogs, and draft dogs as well as hunting dogs, search and rescue dogs, and watchdogs. These dogs are thought to be descendants of molosser type dogs brought into the Alps by the ancient Romans, and the St. Bernard is recognized internationally today as one of the Molossoid breeds.
The name "St. Bernard" originates from the Great St Bernard Hospice, a traveler's hospice on the often treacherous St. Bernard Pass in the Western Alps between Switzerland and Italy. The pass, the lodge, and the dogs are named for Bernard of Menthon, the 11th century monk who established the station.
The breed is strikingly similar to the English Mastiff and Newfoundland. This can be attributed to a common shared ancestry with the Alpine Mastiff and the Tibetan Mastiff. It is suspected that these breeds were used to redevelop each other to combat the threat of their extinction after World War II.
The four Sennenhund breeds, the Grosser Schweizer Sennenhund (Greater Swiss Mountain Dog), the Berner Sennenhund, (Bernese Mountain Dog), the Appenzeller Sennenhund, (Appenzeller), and the Entlebucher Sennenhund (Entlebucher Mountain Dog) are similar in appearance and share the same location and history, but are tricolour rather than red and white.

Notebook: Devendorf returns for Syracuse
Bob McClellan
Rivals.com College Basketball
The Orange played in the NIT in 1981 and '82 before making the 1983 NCAAs, and the Orange has played in the past two NITs.
Eric Devendorf is a necessity. Devendorf suffered a torn ACL 10 games into last season, when he was averaging 17 points and 3.9 assists. He also was shooting a sizzling 40.7 percent from 3-point range.
The Orange was 7-3 with him in the lineup. Granted, it was just the non-conference schedule, but the team went 14-11 without him as the depth and outside shooting took a downturn.
"We had injuries to myself and (fellow guard) Andy Rautins, and it put a load on the young guys to have to come in pick up the slack," Devendorf told Rivals.com. "They didn't know what to expect. It was a lot of pressure."
It also turned into a lot of minutes. The four players left in the starting lineup after Devendorf went down (Rautins already had been lost for the season before it began with a torn ACL of his own) each averaged more than 30 minutes per game. Freshmen Jonny Flynn and Donte Greene and sophomore Paul Harris each averaged at least 35.5 minutes.
It made for a tired, young team that frequently struggled on the defensive end. There was nothing Devendorf could do except rehab his knee.
"The type of guy I am, I just love to play, and when it's taken away it hurts," Devendorf said. "And it hurts more to watch your team play and struggle. You just want to be out there."
Greene (17.7 ppg, 7.2 rpg) left after one season to enter the NBA draft, but Boeheim welcomes back Flynn, Harris and Arinze Onuaku - all of whom excelled last season.
"Jonny is one of the top point guards in the country," Devendorf said. "And he was playing like 40 minutes a game. The incoming freshmen played a lot.
"That should help them. They have experience from last year at a young age, and they should be more confident."
The Orange is confident Devendorf and Rautins are recovered from their knee injuries. They're capable of combining for as many as 150 3-pointers.
"I feel I'm close to 100 percent," Devendorf said. "The knee feels really good. The staff and trainers are doing a really good job.
"All of the work to get back has paid off. I've been playing 5-on-5 for a month. The knee feels great. It's rare that it's even sore."
To get back to the NCAA tournament, there is the small problem of negotiating the Big East, a league so loaded that it has eight teams in the Rivals.com Preseason Top 25. Syracuse isn't one of them, but the Orange came in at No. 32 in our Top 65 Countdown.
If there ever were a year you could finish eighth or ninth in a conference and still make the NCAAs, this is it.
"We're in the best conference in the country," Devendorf said. "There's no question. There are eight or nine teams that will make the tournament. It's crazy. But you want to play against the best competition."
Will Syracuse be one of those eight or nine?
"Oh, yeah, definitely," Devendorf said. "A lot of teams might be overlooking us because they don't know how me and Andy will come back and play. We'll be ready."
Boeheim enters this season as the fourth-winningest active coach in Division I. Who is ahead of him? (Answer at the end of the column.
Danny Granger, a burgeoning NBA star for the Indiana Pacers, has pledged $500,000 to the athletics program at his alma mater, New Mexico.
Granger, who played for the Lobos in 2003-04 and 2004-05 before being drafted in the first round by the Pacers, will give $100,000 a year for each of the next five years. The money will go toward renovations of the legendary basketball arena "The Pit" and to University Stadium.
It is one of the largest individual donations to UNM athletics.
"New Mexico is a second home to me, and the University of New Mexico gave me a lot of opportunities," Granger said during a news conference at the school. "I attribute so much to them for all the things I've been able to make of myself.
"The Pit holds a special place in my heart. For all the love The Pit showed not just to me, but to the whole team I want to give something back because I'm a Lobo fanatic and this is a great way for me to do that."
The renovated locker room in The Pit will carry Granger's name.
Speaking of the Lobos, they have an eight-man freshman class including 6-10 redshirt Kem Nweke. Consequently, you won't see them picked among the top teams in the Mountain West Conference, but by season's end, they could prove to be dangerous. Four-star shooting guard Phillip McDonald, the No. 88 prospect in the nation, turned down Kansas to play at UNM. Isaiah Rusher, a 6-9 center ranked No. 21 at his position, hasn't been admitted to school but the hope is he will be able to enroll for the second semester and be eligible in December. He's a big-time athlete with a major upside. Rivals.com's analysts also like the game of three-star shooting guard Curtis Dennis. "They have a combination of everything shooting, athleticism, you name it," Lobos senior Chad Toppert said. "They are really impressive."
Two teams will tip home games at 11 p.m. local time on Monday, Nov. 17, and one game will be played at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 18, as part of a 23-hour basketball marathon on ESPN's family of networks. Memphis plays host to Massachusetts at 11 p.m. Central time to tip off the hoops hysteria, followed by Fresno State at Saint Mary's (11 p.m. Pacific) and Idaho State at Hawaii. It's not clear who will be watching in the East, as that game tips at 4 a.m. Live action then takes a break for a four-hour "College Hoops Tip-Off Special" and picks up again when Penn plays at Drexel at 10 a.m. Eastern. Drexel athletic director Eric Zillmer told Rivals.com the start time was cleared with the provost. He said he asked if classes could be canceled that morning, but the school decided against it. "We have 21,000 students, but the arena only holds 2,500," Zillmer said, "so plenty of students will be in class." Zillmer said the school is billing the event as "Breakfast at the DAC," the acronym for Drexel's arena, the Daskalakis Athletic Center. "The bottom line is it's a great branding opportunity for us," Zillmer said. "It will be ESPN on our campus with a crowd going crazy at 10 a.m. I think it will be sold out, and students will come out and face paint and really cut loose."

Meyer, the second-winningest coach in college basketball to Bob Knight, recently was diagnosed with cancer after a car accident that resulted in his left leg being amputated below the knee.
Duke's Mike Krzyzewski (803), Arizona's Lute Olson (780) and Connecticut's Jim Calhoun (774) rank ahead of Boeheim (771). No other active D-I coach has more than 700 wins.

Just guessing here, but I wonder if it would be good in refried beans? Or, if not, to use when cooking dried beans (I always use a dollop or drizzle of some kind of fat, olive oil, lard, etc). Is it salted?
Oxtail fat = beef fat = suet. This is a treasured source of nourishing fat, very flavorful, use it it make a crust for a beefy empanada (or other beefy) pie. If you are feeling generous toward nature, suet is often used for birdfeeders too!

Martabe Project 3D Animation
The Martabe Mine is established under a sixth generation Contract of Work ("CoW") and covers 1,639 km2 along 110 km of strike length adjacent to the Sumatra fault. The resource base includes 7.4 million ounces of gold and 70 million ounces of silver and there are six known deposits within a 30 km2 area with Purnama the largest so far. Martabe celebrated the first anniversary of commercial gold production from the Purnama pit in July 2013 and to date has exceeded ramp-up expectations. Martabe is anticipated to produce in excess of 250,000 ounces of gold and 2-3 million ounces of silver per annum for a minimum of 10 years, based on the current ore reserves. Production expansions and life of mine extensions will be targeted from: optimising the mine and process plant, oxide debottlenecking and expansion, a sulphide ore treatment process plant and further discoveries on the CoW.
Martabe benefits from a competitive estimated life-of-mine cost structure for the Purnama pit. The low cost structure is a result of the capacity and size of the project, the shallow nature of the Purnama deposit that results in a low strip ratio of 0.9:1, the good grade of the ore and straightforward gold extraction process. In addition, Martabe benefits from the advantageous location of the project, being close to highways, airports, port, power and a significant national skilled human resources pool.
The Martabe operation encompasses the Purnama open pit mine, a conventional processing plant with 4.5 Mtpa capacity, a permanent accommodation facility for mine workers, haulage roads, high voltage switchyard, onsite workshop and warehousing, and a tailings storage facility with associated water catchment and diversion systems. Safety is the highest priority for G-Resources this is evident in the Company's outstanding safety results.
Martabe location and 1,639 km2 CoW area
A substantial area of a highly mineralised district with potential for further gold and gold-copper deposits.

Article: Heterogeneous clinical presentation in ICF syndrome: correlation with underlying gene defects[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Immunodeficiency with centromeric instability and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is a primary immunodeficiency, predominantly characterized by agammaglobulinemia or hypoimmunoglobulinemia, centromere instability and facial anomalies. Mutations in two genes have been discovered to cause ICF syndrome: DNMT3B and ZBTB24. To characterize the clinical features of this syndrome, as well as genotype-phenotype correlations, we compared clinical and genetic data of 44 ICF patients. Of them, 23 had mutations in DNMT3B (ICF1), 13 patients had mutations in ZBTB24 (ICF2), whereas for 8 patients, the gene defect has not yet been identified (ICFX). While at first sight these patients share the same immunological, morphological and epigenetic hallmarks of the disease, systematic evaluation of all reported informative cases shows that: (1) the humoral immunodeficiency is generally more pronounced in ICF1 patients, (2) B- and T-cell compartments are both involved in ICF1 and ICF2, (3) ICF2 patients have a significantly higher incidence of intellectual disability and (4) congenital malformations can be observed in some ICF1 and ICF2 cases. It is expected that these observations on prevalence and clinical presentation will facilitate mutation-screening strategies and help in diagnostic counseling.European Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication, 13 March 2013; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2013.40.
Article: Mutations in ZBTB24 Are Associated with Immunodeficiency, Centromeric Instability, and Facial Anomalies Syndrome Type 2[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Autosomal-recessive immunodeficiency, centromeric instability, and facial anomalies (ICF) syndrome is mainly characterized by recurrent, often fatal, respiratory and gastrointestinal infections. About 50% of patients carry mutations in the DNA methyltransferase 3B gene (DNMT3B) (ICF1). The remaining patients carry unknown genetic defects (ICF2) but share with ICF1 patients the same immunological and epigenetic features, including hypomethylation of juxtacentromeric repeat sequences. We performed homozygosity mapping in five unrelated ICF2 patients with consanguineous parents and then performed whole-exome sequencing in one of these patients and Sanger sequencing in all to identify mutations in the zinc-finger- and BTB (bric-a-bric, tramtrack, broad complex)-domain-containing 24 (ZBTB24) gene in four consanguineously descended ICF2 patients. Additionally, we found ZBTB24 mutations in an affected sibling pair and in one patient for whom it was not known whether his parents were consanguineous. ZBTB24 belongs to a large family of transcriptional repressors that include members, such as BCL6 and PATZ1, with prominent regulatory roles in hematopoietic development and malignancy. These data thus indicate that ZBTB24 is involved in DNA methylation of juxtacentromeric DNA and in B cell development and/or B and T cell interactions. Because ZBTB24 is a putative DNA-binding protein highly expressed in the lymphoid lineage, we predict that by studying the molecular function of ZBTB24, we will improve our understanding of the molecular pathophysiology of ICF syndrome and of lymphocyte biology in general.

Article: Reduced human leukocyte antigen expression in advanced-stage Ewing sarcoma: Implications for immune recognition[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Ewing sarcoma (EWS) is a tumour most commonly arising in bone, although on occasion in soft tissue, with a poor prognosis in patients with refractory or relapsed disease, despite multimodal therapy. Immunotherapeutic strategies based on tumour-reactive T and/or natural killer cells may improve the treatment of advanced-stage EWS. Since cellular immune recognition critically depends on human leukocyte antigen (HLA) expression, knowledge about HLA expression in EWS is crucial in the design of cellular immunotherapeutic strategies. Constitutive and IFNgamma-induced HLA class I expression was analysed in EWS cell lines (n = 6) by flow cytometry, using antibodies against both monomorphic and allele-specific antigens. Expression of antigen processing pathway components and beta-2 microglobulin (beta2m) was assessed by western blot. Expression of class II transactivator (CIITA), and its contribution to HLA class II expression, was evaluated by qRT-PCR, transduction assays, and flow cytometry. beta2m/HLA class I and class II expression was validated in EWS tumours (n = 67) by immunofluorescence. Complete or partial absence of HLA class I expression was observed in 79% of EWS tumours. Lung metastases consistently lacked HLA class I and sequential tumours demonstrated a tendency towards decreased expression upon disease progression. Together with absent or low constitutive expression levels of specific HLA class I loci and alleles, and differential induction of identical alleles by IFNgamma in different cell lines, these results may reflect the existence of an immune escape mechanism. Inducible expression of TAP-1/-2, tapasin, LMP-2/-7, and the beta2m/HLA class I complex by IFNgamma suggests that regulatory mechanisms are mainly responsible for heterogeneity in constitutive class I expression. EWSs lack IFNgamma-inducible HLA class II, due to lack of functional CIITA. The majority of EWS tumours, particularly if advanced-stage, exhibit complete or partial absence of both classes of HLA. This knowledge will be instrumental in the design of cellular immunotherapeutic strategies for advanced-stage EWS.

The hunters have arrived. Thanks to everyone that voted. I hope you guys enjoyed participating! Thanks to TwentySidedDeath and Bill the Cabal for writing more lore! [b]Fenrir's Fangs[/b] [i]"Your enemies want war. Bring them Ragnarok"[/i] They were the ones that had lost it all in the collapse: family, friends, and wealth. All that remained was the shared experience of loss at the hands of the darkness and the hate that came with it. From this hate a group of refugees became a family, helping one another fight through the days and nights when The City wasn't quite safe. One day they agreed that safety, the Traveler, and the Last City no longer mattered. So the group left The City to take revenge on the enemy that had stolen everyone and everything they loved. They had no rules and showed no mercy. They accepted no surrender and left no survivors. They refused to succumb to their fears. They employed guerrilla tactics, decimated their foes with biological agents, conducted brutal interrogations and assassinated key targets. All this they did before the traveler created ghosts, before they could wield His Light as a weapon, before they could return from death. But their group was small, and mistakes happened, brothers and sisters were lost and their numbers dwindled. One night, at the gates of The City during a storm, the last of the Hunters returned. The guards only noticed him when the sound of his laughter, which many would swear froze the very rain around him, rose above the roar of the storm. The Hunter dropped to his knees. As guards rushed down from the wall to reach him, the storm calmed, and the Hunter stared up at the moon. In one hand he held his knife and in the other he grasped pieces of torn fabric, each with their own emblem, from the cloaks of his family. From the stream of blood running down both hands and arms the guards knew the Hunter was dying. His last words were "We are the Fault's of Fenrir, bringers of war and our father was misfortune. Know that we did our damned best to avenge everything that was lost, and that no moral chain held us back. We killed Gods, and we smiled." - Bill the Cabal [b][u]The Crisis in Lagash[/u][/b] [url]http://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/68602680/0/0[/url] <-- Full Story On Venus, In the ancient city of Lagash, increased Vex activity had caught the attention of the Vanguard. A gate had opened in the city center and something huge had come through. Four raiding parties had been sent to shut down the gate and had gone missing. Two hunters, Ashur and Marduk, responded to the threat. Mad with power, a twisted machine-god sought to enslave all of creation. Trapped in the ruined city without their ghosts, the Twin hunters battled for their survival against endless waves of Vex. On that day Lagash was lost forever, but the threat to mankind had been quelled. The armor they wore into battle tattered and ruined, Ashur and Marduk sought out parts to create a new functional set of armor for the battles that lie ahead. [b]Phalcon-Skism MPC[/b] [i]"...For he is not of this day."[/i] Ashur, having a flair for the dramatic, gathered the remnants of Vex Goblins and Harpies scattered across the battlefield to repair his armor. His ghost, Enuma, scanned each piece to ensure its integration into the armor wouldn't be problematic but, beyond a few cryptic data strings hard-coded in the robotic remains, didn't find anything that a routine data wipe wouldn't fix. [b] Shinarian King [/b] [i]"A single guardian is worth a hundred dark-spawned gods."[/i] Marduk, who enjoyed taking a more subtle approach when gathering trophies from his battles, searched for hours meticulously collecting just the right pieces of scraps from the core of the twisted machine-god - not too sharp but not too smooth, not too big but not too small either. Not one to be seen in the tower without a stunning cloak, he gathered the golden cloth that had once enrobed the metal abomination, reduced to scraps of cloth flapping in the wind, and stitched together a regal cape. - TwentySidedDeath The Crisis in Lagash is part of a longer story that TwentySidedDeath has developed. He might post the entire thing if you guys ask him nicely :D [url]http://sewnarain.tumblr.com/[/url] [u]https://www.facebook.com/pages/Art-of-Kyle-Sewnarain/694889540585384[/u] (I just made this so that those that don't have tumblr can follow me. I will update it tonight with more art~)
ShadowNinja779/4/2014 7:26:07 PM PermalinkShinarian King - Might be my favorite, if that hasn't been taken by Fenrir's Fangs, the god-like trophy taking thing is pretty epic. Fenrir's Fangs - Heavy wolf folklore their lol, the actual outfit is epic, the dark vengence look is awesome. Equal to or better then Shinarian King Phalcon-Skism MPC - Not my most favorite but the chest piece is epic, seems to be more of a make-shift armor type which is interesting but not my kind of thing, still nice though.
Spanky Gravy9/4/2014 7:08:15 PM Permalinkyet again another great batch of skins zukai, and the story of Fenrir's Fangs sent chills down my spine one of the best stories so far in the pre release. The quote sold it "We killed gods, and we smiled"

Real estate recognition of prior learning
You may be entitled to receive recognition of prior learning (RPL) for existing knowledge and skills. RPL is a formal assessment process that recognises your current skill and knowledge. If you have the necessary experience and skill you may be competent in one or more of the units even though you have not completed recognised training.
RPL assessment will recognise what you know and apply it to the real estate program that you want to complete. This will reduce the time you need to spend studying and the number of units you need to complete.
The assessment process looks at your:
- real estate experience
- experiences gained throughout your working life
- any education or training you have completed and applies this to the units required to complete your chosen real estate program
The education can be formal such as diplomas or degrees from recognised educational institutions or informal training such as Continuing Professional Development (CPD) attendance at conferences or seminars or franchise training – in fact any learning whatsoever can be recognised.
Your skills and knowledge will be assessed by a qualified assessor. The assessor has both the education, real estate qualifications and experience to conduct the RPL assessment.
You will need to provide a portfolio of evidence that outlines your skill, experience and training. An evidence checklist will be provided so that you can gather sufficient evidence.
You enrol into the RPL assessment process with Kaplan Professional. We will then send you the necessary documents and organise for an assessor to contact you and assist and guide you through the whole process. In conjunction with the assessor, you need to determine which units you will apply for; you then collect your evidence and submit it with your RPL application form and payment. RPL works more effectively if all your evidence and your application form are supplied at us at the same time.
You have 6 months to submit you evidence from the date of application. If your evidence is not received in this timeframe, payment of another application fee is required.
The evidence is assessed by the assessor who will then contact you with the results and to organise an interview if required.
The interview is a supportive discussion. You may need to discuss your evidence with the assessor and to explore further your claim for competence in a unit or units. This interview is to assist you to gain the maximum results possible.
On completion of the RPL assessment you will be issued with one of the following results:
- Competent – Recognition has been provided and no further study is required
- Not Yet Competent – You will be required to complete the unit
Next step
We will issue you with a Statement of Attainment for the program or the units of competency you have gained. If you require further study, we will provide advice on the best way to complete your course or unit(s).
Further Information
For further information, call 1300 798 006 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Challenge IslandRead MoreEstablished: 2013 Reservations/Appointments: Required Staff Size: 2–10 people Average Duration of Services: 2–4 hours Brands Used: We proudly use recycled and green materials in the classrooms. Pro Tip: We always want to know your child's unique traits and qualities—such as special dietary, social, and physical needs—so expect a registration form. Please fill it out and return it as soon as possible. Handicap Accessible: Yes Parking: Parking lot Most Popular Attraction/Offering: For grades K–2, it's Beach Party; for grades 3–6, it's Volcano Island. Recommended Age Group: 5–12 Q&A with Tamara Menteer Gonzalez, Owner And Lead Island Fun-time Hostess. What is Challenge Island? Challenge Island is based off the TV show, Survivor—but the good news is, nobody gets kicked off the island. Every island has a different set of challenges. We use recycled and green materials that can be found in most home pantries, so children can challenge themselves (and others) again. The program is designed to introduce intellectual challenges and encourage children to interact with others, rather than taking on each challenge alone. Children start by thinking through the experiment and drawing out plans by brainstorming with their tribes. Then they tackle the challenge once and determine if anything needs to be fixed before trying it again. Sometimes challenges have up to three opportunities for improvement. This is scientific methodology at its best. The entire program is structured in a manner to address the child's thinking powers and improve social skills, team spirit, and public speaking skills. Many intellectually smart children have unique differences in the social spheres due to how their minds work. Our camp focuses on the child in a holistic fashion. Our teachers also undergo background checks, and campers may request to be placed in the same tribe as their friends. I'm a first-timer. How do you get me ready for the experience? Children should dress comfortably. Snacks should be sent along for our four-hour camps; otherwise, we will offer popcorn and some vegetables and fruit. Children will be asked to be good team players and social skills are part of the regular curriculum. Just make sure your child is rested, well fed, and does not have a tummy full of sugar, and things will likely go perfectly. However, if a child becomes unruly, parents will be called in to participate with their child until the improper behavior stops. Have you ever been a patron of your own business? If so, what was the most enjoyable part? I did get training by being a "student" in both Las Vegas and Atlanta. The best parts of the experience were gaining a sense of belonging to a team, thinking confidently about engineering concepts, and having a ton of fun. I laughed and used my brain a lot. Who knew building towers from paper and tape would be so challenging? And studies show that laughter improves learning.7330 Bothell Way NEKenmore, WA US

All we ask is students are ready for a fun, interesting and musically captivating 45 minutes of rocking out on the guitar! What was the inspiration to start or run this business? AWSOM was founded in January 2014 when Andrew, the founder, saw the need for music lessons in students homes. At the time Andrew had 65 students and a wait list that was growing like crazy! So in came John, another piano teacher to help out. And now we have Michaud teaching the guitar! What do you love most about your job? We love getting to bring the sound of music into so many homes around Seattle and the Eastside. Getting to spend time showing children and adults how an instrument works and how to best play it is an eye opening thing that can captivate them for the rest of their life!15908 71st Avenue NortheastKenmore, WA US

Sentiment: Strong Buy
Not only has the fiscal plan passed the GOP house, but the administration, lead by" plain talkin" V.P. Joey B. did it without giving in on the debt ceiling. Looking good Joey, very presidential, the coach sent in the right man in to get the job done, and he did.
Sentiment: Hold
Let me guess, you are one of the fools that voted for obama?
