Barre Town voting starts slowlyMarch 05,2013
BARRE TOWN – In a town with no contested races Krista Metivier gets points for standing in the snow greeting voters as if her election to the Barre Town School Board depended on it.
"I need name recognition," said Metivier.
Apparently Metivier's, four-year-old son, Aiden, didn't get the message.
"Vote for my momma," he said greeting a potential voter without actually dropping his mother's name.
Metivier's son had time to work on his delivery because 90 minutes after the polls opened only 57 of the town's 5,887 registered voters had cast ballots.
"I wish I could say: 'We're busy,' but we're not," Town Clerk Donna Kelty said.
As has historically been the case, Town Meeting Day is an all-school affair in Barre Town. Municipal budgets and business is conducted during May elections.
Among the items on today's ballot include the $10.8 million budget for Barre Town Middle and Elementary School and the $12.3 million budget for Spaulding High School.MORE IN This Just InThe National Retail Federation, based in Washington, D.C., recently named Rep.Peter Welch, D-Vt.

Welcome to Your Child's Brain How the Mind Grows from Conception to College

How children think is one of the most enduring mysteries--and difficulties--of parenthood. The marketplace is full of gadgets and tools that claim to make your child smarter, happier, or learn languages faster, all built on the premise that manufacturers know something about your child's brain that you don't. These products are easy to sell, because good information about how children's minds really work is hard to come by. In their new book, neuroscientists Sandra Aamodt and Sam Wang separate fact from fiction about the inner workings of young minds. Martialing results from new studies and classic research, Aamodt and Wang provide the most complete answers out there on this subject. It liberates readers from superstitions and speculation, such as Freud's idea that all relationships are modeled on one's mother, or that it's not safe to eat sushi while pregnant. And it will reveal new truths about everything from how to make your baby sleep, to why we love to snuggle, to how children learn, forget, play, talk, walk, and feel. Welcome to Your Child's Brainis eye-opening and necessary, soon to become a staple for parents and children alike.

"Dr. Wang and Dr. Aamodt playfully and engagingly introduce us to the hidden talents of our children's brains." —Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of The Dr. Oz Show
"Few humans are as neurotic as parents, frantic about the disastrous lifelong consequences of every errant hiccup. In this smart, funny, accessible, and supremely sane book, Aamodt and Wang explain that our supposed knowledge in this realm is riddled with urban myths and that a child's brain is tough and resilient in the face of adversity. This is a terrific, fun, educational book." —Robert Sapolsky, Ph.D., author of Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers

A week on NewsOK: Charles Barkley, Wanda Jackson, Martin Luther King Day … and more
It was a busy week on NewsOK. We covered a lot of stories that are just bad news, but we also told a lot of uplifting tales, shared some great stuff from the past and talked to some of our best customers.
Sonya Colberg has been quite the star reporter this week. She kicked off last weekend with a terrific feature on a 2-year-old adopted girl who has gone through reconstructive facial surgery at The Children's Hospital at OU Medical Center. The story brought out the best in our commenters. Said Jimmy of Oklahoma City: "The doctors at Children's Hospital are awesome!!! Blessings to Maisy, family and caregivers!" Said Robert of Oklahoma City: "Parents, surgeons, enablers, you will be blessed by the Great Physician." It was a great read. It had great photos. And it had a great video component. It told a great story. That's the kind of story we like in our News and Information Center.
- But Sonya wasn't done last week. She also told the story of Scott Badgett, an associate pastor at Chisholm Heights Baptist Church in Mustang, who saved a woman's life with CPR at a church luncheon. Again, this story is told very well with her writing, but it we are helped in understanding the significance with a video component as well. And the comments? Well here's one from Angela in OKC: "AWESOME!!! As a nurse and CPR instructor I feel it is very important for EVERYONE to learn CPR. One day it could be a loved one or your child, you don't want to look back and say what if I could have done something to help?"
I wrote last week about our new Personality pages. We added another one this week. You can now follow Carla Hinton, who covers the religion community in Oklahoma better than anyone else. Follow her on Facebook, on Twitter, on her blog — or just follow her new page on NewsOK that has everything. We welcome Carla to the personality list.
- Martin Luther King, Jr., Day was Monday. We did a video in 2010 that was so much fun that we brought it back into the spotlight this week. It is fun … just watch it below.
- In the "you can't make this stuff up" category, I bring you our most popular story on the site this week: Nurse loses license for 20 years over sex with hospice patient. We featured this story on the website for most of the day on Sunday. It received a lot of traffic then, but it continued to grow all week after being featured and shared on Fark.com and then being linked to from the Drudge Report website.
- Our most-viewed video this week has been the police report about Oklahoma City police Sgt. Maurice Anthony Martinez. He was arrested Wednesday on complaints of lewd acts with a child under 16 and forcible sodomy. That was a popular article, as well. You can read more here.
- Charles Barkley spoke directly to Jenni Carlson on Tuesday night. Jenni was openly asking when Charles would make good on his old promise to visit Oklahoma City. Barkley answered her on Wednesdy night, as Darnell Mayberry detailed in his blog post. Said Charles: "Well, you know what? Jenni, you are a hundred percent correct. Now that you've got my good friend Scott Brooks there, and the great Maurice Cheeks, who I played with in Philly, I've got to come to Oklahoma City?" Jenni blogged about it as well, promising to serve as a tour guide for Barkley. It's good stuff.
Entertainment writer Brandy McDonnell has the most-trafficked blog on NewsOK. She has for years now. Sunday night was a good example of why her blog is so popular. Brandy blogged the Golden Globe Awards live, providing instant insight and analysis of the big show. But just a day later, Brandy posted some colorful reviews of the concert she covered at Oklahoma City Arena. The posts were full of photos and links, plus her thoughts about George Strait, Reba McEntire and Lee Ann Womack. I'll admit it. I'm a country music fan. And I appreciate Brandy's posts and updates and photos on the concerts that come through town.
- James Lankford is going to Washington … so based on our Washington Bureau reporter Chris Casteel's recommendation, we enhanced our James Lankford topics page to showcase all the articles, videos and blogs we've produced about Lankford's rise from relative obscurity to real-life Congressman.
- Wanda Jackson was in the news quite a bit this week, with
- I spent some quality time at the original O'Connell's during my time at the University of Oklahoma. I even visited the locale with an old friend in December because we had heard the rumor that it was closing. (It was the oldest rumor in the history of rumors, but we believed it this time.) It turns out … it was true. I learned on NewsOK this week that there will be an auction of all the memorabilia that lines the walls at the establishment. My friend wanted a photo that he's in (don't get too worked up; it was the back of his head). All I need are memories. They're much cheaper.
- I talked to a subscriber of The Oklahoman this week. She wanted to know one simple question about our new TV Weekly magazine that we are offering for those who want it. It's replacing the TV book we've had in the Sunday newspaper for years. Some people aren't happy about this change, but they usually understand the results of supply and demand. The caller's question … will we have a TV grid in the newspaper each day (it's in the Life section)? The answer … Yes. We certainly will.
- I talked to another NewsOK user that wanted to see older listings of our death listings. I pointed the person to our database display of all death listings, but that wasn't satisfactory. Why? Because it couldn't be printed out. Interesting point. We didn't think of that. Well … we still have both options right now. You can browse our death listings in a sortable database (preferable, I hope, for most online users) or you can view the daily articles we produce.
- Weather blogger Bryan Painter was spot on with his predictions of the big weather event this week. He, of course, commends the National Weather Service folks in Norman. Bryan told me on Wednesday (through his blog) to expect a thin sheet of ice on the roads on Thursday morning, but that it would be safe driving by late morning. He was on the job with live weather updates on NewsOK by 5 a.m. Thursday, and he logged off at about 10 a.m. What did we have? A thin sheet of ice on Thursday morning, but it was safe on the roads by late morning. Thanks for the updates, Bryan.
Look for another series of updates on the site next week. But don't let these blog posts discourage you from browsing NewsOK every day. It's worth it.

Learning Objectives:
Although the return on investment is widely used in evaluating
performance, it is not a perfect tool. The method is subject to the
following criticism:
1. Just telling managers to increase ROI may not
be enough. Managers may not know how to increase ROI; they may increase
ROI in a way that is inconsistent with the company's strategy; or they
may take actions that increase ROI in the short run but harm company the
long run (such as cutting back on the research and development). This is
why ROI is best used as part of a balanced scorecard. A balanced
scorecard can provide concrete guidance to managers, making it more
likely that action taken are consistent with the company's strategy and
reducing the likelihood that short-run performance will be enhanced at
the expense of long-term performance.
2. A manager who takes over a
business segment typically inherent many committed costs over which the
manager has no control. These committed costs may be relevant in
assessing the performance of the business segment as an investment but
make it difficult to fairly assess the performance of the manager
relative to other managers.
3. A manager who is evaluated based on
return on investment (ROI) may reject investment opportunities that are
profitable for the whole company but that would have a negative impact on
the manager's performance evaluation.

Take-Two Acquires WWE Licence - NewsCraig Snow, posted on 14 February 2013 / 1,200 Views
Take-Two has acquired the WWE licence from bankrupt publisher THQ, which means they will now publish the WWE line of games. Eurogamer are reporting that Yuke's, who have worked on the franchise since 2000, will continue to develop the titles and that a number of former THQ employees will be re-employed to work on the franchise, so in many ways it will be business as usual for the WWE licence.
This follows on from the auctioning off of THQ properties last month. You can find a summary of which properties got snapped up here.

New London — Beneath a blue sky etched with clouds, eight schooners of various sizes and home ports set off into the shimmering waters of New London Harbor on Saturday.
The schooners began sailing away from the panorama of downtown around 11 a.m. in the bright morning light, toward the starting line.
A crowd of spectators on City Pier watched as the schooners set their sails, gathered speed and moved south on the Thames River. Sailboats, motor boats and the occasional ferry dotted the harbor during the warm but breezy day.
The Mystic Whaler of New London, Brilliant of Mystic, Malabar II of Vineyard Haven, N.Y., Virginia of Norfolk, Va., Sophia Christina of Westerly, Mary E of Essex and the schooners Mystic and Equinox, both of Mystic, were the eight participants in Saturday's race during the inaugural Connecticut Schooner Festival, under the umbrella of OpSail Connecticut.
Each schooner made it to the starting point in the Thames River at its own pace — from the red-trimmed Mystic Whaler with dozens of passengers aboard and the tall Virginia with billowing white sails to the 171-foot Mystic with an anchor along its side.
The 8-mile race with four, 2-mile legs began shortly before 1 p.m. The Mystic Seaport's Brilliant swiftly took the lead. The schooner powered smoothly through the water and maintained the front spot throughout the race. The 64-foot schooner, built in 1932, crossed the Atlantic Ocean in about 15 days, a record for the boat's size, according to the festival's website.
The Malabar II followed in second place, with the other schooners spanning the water behind it. Police boats from nearby towns, including Old Saybrook, Norwich, Waterford and East Lyme, as well as a Coast Guard auxiliary boat, patrolled nearby.
At certain points, the Mystic Whaler and the Virginia appeared to be racing each other. The Mystic Whaler seemed to have a slight edge over the Virginia near the beginning of the race, with the Mystic bringing up the rear. But as the Virginia and Whaler reached the orange buoy marking the end of the first leg, the Virginia appeared to be gaining.
Brilliant was the first to reach the finish line, about 2 miles southwest of Ledge Light, at about 2:11 p.m. The schooner took home the Morgan Cup.
Malabar II came in 15 minutes later, and the Virginia came in at 2:36 p.m. The Mystic Whaler finished at 2:56 p.m. with the Equinox following later, according to Melissa Root, the race director and director of the judging committee.
The other boats continued to sail, but the rules stipulate that to earn a spot in the race, the schooner has to reach the finish line within an hour of the first vessel, according to Root.
The Equinox had experienced some mechanical issues, which made it difficult to travel from Mystic to New London for the race, but ended up doing a "beautiful job" during the race, she said.
Capt. Jim Lobdell, an owner of the Malabar II, said the day was beautiful. The wind, which was variable all day, made taking the schooner out particularly fun, he said.
"I'd love to come back," he said. "It was a great time."
Kevin Cavanagh, the event's vice chairman, said next year's festival is set for Sept. 10-14. The committee plans to hold the event in New London and partner with similar organizations, he said.
"We're committed to it," Cavanagh said.

"What lies Beyond Narita Airport" Top 5 Page for this destination Narita by Wild_Orchid
Narita Travel Guide: 141 reviews and 292 photos
On my second visit to Japan in May 2005, I had a morning flight out of Narita airport. This time, I decided to stay overnight at Narita town, rather than at an ubiquitous American Chain hotel. Well, I'm glad I did because there's more to Narita than just the airport!
I would like to say a Special thank you to VT'er manuel_eb and one time frequent traveller to NaritaMike Newman for helping with information relating to this quaint and interesting little town.
Arrival: In late 1994, I arrived at Narita Airport slightly groggy from my 7+ hour overnight flight from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, via Singapore's Changi Airport.
The toilets at Narita were spotless and we managed to freshen up quite comfortably, before heading to the immigration counter. This was completed with minimal fuss despite the number of arrivals. Clearing customs took a bit longer as the female officer wanted me to open my luggage bag. (I had only 1 bag!) She then shot me a few questions in staccato-English. Fortunately, I managed to understand and replied accordingly. My colleague who was standing near me was amazed because she thought that our entire conversation sounded like it was being conducted in Japanese!
Outside, I spotted a water cooler, so I avoided buying any mineral water (my first taste of just how expensive it was in Japan...).
Departure: From the Narita Excel Hotel, we joined the shuttle coach to the airport. It was basically uneventful.
When I arrived at the airport, I got a friend to take a picture of me at the airport car-park to remind me of the airport, and also to remember how bloated my face looked after having slept for only 2 hours on the plane! LOL
- Pros:Narita town is a little Gem that should be explored if you have the time
- Cons:it is rather a distance between the town and the airport

Ryokan should always be included on visits to Japan, at least two nights for calming the soul ;-)))
sorry to comment but the flower is obviously "petunia", not Azalea
Nice tips for our stop over at narita en route london in July.thanks for sharing.rgds kashi
Hi Its great you showed the worth of visiting Narita, not only flying from or into this city. Bu I have never been there myself. Greetings
Great information! The airline I work for has a hub at NRT so I will have to take your advice and explore the area.
It's great to see more shopping tips for Narita Airport. Also the ryokan alternative is a great idea for travellers who are stuck in Narita without one of those wonderful hotel vouchers issued by the airlines.
Hi W_O, Great pic's and info on Narita. p.s. Your Home Page is really very special! So much warmth in your family pictures.
My Narita experience is only in & out of Japan. Sigh!!
You craggy tree hugging hippy you :-)

Denver Nuggets, Miami Heat played long ago
The Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets are the two hottest teams in the NBA.
The Heat has the second-longest winning streak in league history at 23 straight, while the Nuggets stretched their run to 13 straight with a 114-104 victory over the Thunder at Chesapeake Energy Arena on Tuesday night.
Denver and Miami completed their two-game regular-season series way back in mid-November. The Heat won 119-116 in Miami on Nov. 3 and won 98-93 at Denver on Nov. 15th.
The only way the Heat and Nuggets can meet again this season would be in the NBA Finals.
"I hope we have another opportunity to play them," Denver coach George Karl said. "That would be a dream come true."
Of the 13 teams the Nuggets have disposed of consecutively, eight currently are bound for the playoffs.
"We're not beating up on the little guys," Karl said. "I don't think our team is going to let up. I think they enjoy what's going on right now."
Denver (47-22) trails OKC (50-18) by just 3 1/2 games for second in the Western Conference playoff race and owns the tiebreaker with its 3-1 series edge over the Thunder thanks to winning the last three meetings.
Eight of the Nuggets' 13 remaining games are at home and only five games are against playoff teams.
The Thunder has 14 games remaining, with eight on the road and seven against playoffs teams, beginning with Wednesday's 7 p.m. game at Memphis.
Thunder starting power forward Serge Ibaka, who suffered a badly swollen left eye against San Antonio last week, received a cut above his right eye Tuesday after getting hit by the left elbow of teammate Reggie Jackson. Ibaka's status for Wednesday game at Memphis was not immediately known.
OKC reserve center Hasheem Thabeet missed his third straight game with a sore lower back, but was hopeful to return Wednesday.
Denver reserve forward Wilson Chandler suffered a slight left shoulder separation and did not return. Starting point guard Ty Lawson re-aggravated an Achilles injury.
Russell Westbrook will hold his third annual WHY NOT? Foundation bowling event on April 1 at AMF Boulevard Lanes in Edmond.
It will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. and will include open bowling, contests and a silent auction.
For ticket pricing, contact Ian Grutman at (305) 531-5656 or email@example.com. For further information, contact Tammy Brook at (212) 841-2806 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Westbrook founded his WHY NOT? Foundation in 2012 to inspire the lives of children who are at-risk, experiencing hardship, low-income and poor academic performance. The foundation is dedicated to supporting community based education and family service programs while encouraging youth to believe in themselves despite adversity.
The Thunder saw its 20-game home-court winning streak against Western Conference teams snapped and is now 21-2 against the West at home for the season. The other loss was against Memphis on Nov. 14. … OKC was outscored 72-50 in the paint by Denver and 19-11 in second-chance points. … Three-time scoring champ Kevin Durant had 34 points, but struggled with six turnovers and went 0 for 6 from 3-point range, marking the 10th time this season he failed to convert a 3-pointer. … Rev. Jesse Jackson attended the game.
Karl on reserve point guard Andre Miller, who turned 37 Tuesday and finished with 20 points, nine assists and seven rebounds: "He's a coach and a teacher and a veteran and he does it every day in a classy way, in a very quiet way. And then he can do what he did tonight, take the most talented team maybe in the NBA and be the best player on the court for the last six minutes of the game."

I just bought a AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 to upgrade my old setup which was beginning to show signs of weakness. But what upsets my expectation is that this processor is too hot in my opinion! 43° at rest, without overclocking. Is this normal for this type of processor? Yet I well cared for cooling (Zalman CNPS 9500-CU, Thermal Paste Arctic Silver Case Termaltake...)
Let me add that I simply can not go up in frequency beyond 5% (errors beyond a minute OCCT) same my 3500+ without a murmur rose to 2.65 GHz (Yet etched in 0.13)
What do you think?

Other Thoughts: It is hard to find a good lcd tv in this size range for a low price. I saw this tv in a store and the picture quality sold me. I would buy it again.

Internships are in demand. Why? Because it's now an employers' market, meaning that job candidates need to have qualifications, relevant skills and experience under their belt in order for their CV application to be taken seriously. But for all the graduate job seekers, the only feasible way of attaining relevant industry work experience is to intern at a company that is 'reputable' and relevant to their specialisation. This is, of course, easily said than done, and for many bushy tailed graduates, landing an internship can become more of a nightmare than a dream come true.
According to internshipratings.com, a number of highly reputable and large scale organisations have come under fire from current and past interns who have taken to the site to vent their frustrations. Internshipratings.com is a website dedicated to internship reviews and ratings by real interns who have experienced internships at said companies. The top 5 rated internship companies are listed as follows (also check out their websites for possible internship vacancies!):
#1 Radio Flyer (www.radioflyer.com)
#2 John B. Sanfilippo & Son-Fisher Nuts (www.fishernuts.com)
#3 Elizabeth Christian & Associates Public Relations (www.echristianpr.com)
#4 Skydive New England (www.skydivenewengland.com)
#5 ITA Software (www.itasoftware.com)
The worst rated internship company at present on the website may come as a surprise to many. Not only is this a highly profitable and reputable firm, but it is traditionally a first choice amongst new grads seeking a challenging and rewarding internship. Take a look at the list below...
Worst rated internships
#1 Cosmopolitan Magazine (New York)
#2 Signature Direct Magazine (L.A)
#3 PR Consulting (New York)
#4 Proenza Schouler (New York)
#5 Kenneth Cole Productions (New York)
Some of the most noteworthy remarks regarding the worst rated internship program with Cosmopolitan were that interns regularly had to work through their lunch, with 12 hour work days being 'the norm'. Oftentimes, interns were expected to do menial tasks, run irrelevant and non-work related errands for senior staff and in some instances, had to pay out their own pocket without reimbursement.
Most interns that have ranked their interships on internshipratings.com have cited that having a healthy balance between workload and school work/personal life is vital for a successful internship. And who can blame them; most are unpaid positions requiring very long hours with very little respect in return.
How can you tell if your internship is a joke?
Does your internship experience rank amongst the best or worst rated programs as listed above? Here are some signs that your internship is amongst the worst...
You are asked to make tea for the person who makes the coffee.
You are not there to be a beverage boy or girl. If you are getting tea and coffee requests more than a couple of times per week, then things aren't going that good.
You are given menial tasks which drain your energy and enthusiasm.
Let's face it, if you are working for an unpaid internship you will need all the motivation you can gather to get out of bed each day and run errands for the big man, for free. But when these errands are menial tasks that a monkey could do, it begins to take the biscuit. You should be learning something new on a regular basis during an internship. If you aren't – get out of there.
You are given no training.
Training is the core to any internship program. Without it, you are simply staying ten steps behind the rest and will be unable to progress at any pace without making errors and becoming stressed with the whole experience. Training is a must; if you are not getting any direction, then direct yourself out the front door.
You are not getting compensated.
While many internships these days go unpaid, almost all provide some form of compensation or 'expenses' to cover any costs incurred by the intern getting to and from work, and for any work related costs the intern may have to pay during the day. If you are not being covered for these basic requirements, it is unacceptable. There are plenty more internships in the market – start your search now!
Have you ever interned? Where did you complete your internship program? If you have any horror stories of your time as an intern we would love to hear about it! Simply post your experiences in the comments section below.

Secrets of Success
Use What You Got
Thursday, March 31, 2011
To say the least, I'm not thrilled with my job! I went back to school for a year and re-invented myself in a total different career (from auto to health). I studied long and hard to survive in this crazy economy. I graduated in September and was fortunate enough to be hired three weeks later doing what I went to school for. Imagine that! I hear the horror stories of people who attend school for years only to not find a job in their desired field. I was not one of them.
I have learned so much at my job. I was basically thrown into a position that another girl decided to give up. I walked into a hostile environment and through much prayer and determination, I have lasted. The weird thing is that the girl who decided to give the position up decided she didn't really want to leave afterall. She simply needed some additional help. Along comes me, the new girl. I have trained under her for months and now she has once again decided to bail. She began working part-time about a month ago. I have continued to work my regular hours and learn and grow independently.
The business is picking up. The practice is growing. The patients are thriving and referring friends and family. I am doing the best job that I can. I have decided to do the best I can with what I have in me. I put on a happy face and give the best of me. Many days it is a struggle. I'm dealing with a negative energy in the office, but my positivism outweighs all of that. My motto is leave your attitude at the door, you can claim it on the way out! Just don't leave it behind!
I collect figurines and art by Annie Lee. One of her newer pieces is entitled "Got Lemons". It depicts a matronly woman and a child surrounded by bushels of fresh lemons in a kitchen making fresh squeezed lemonade. On the wall in the background is newspaper with headlines such as FORECLOSURE, DOWNSIZING, NEED A NEW JOB, POLICE REPORT, HEALTHCARE AND BANKRUPT. This piece speaks volumes about the world we live in today.
I have decided long ago that the best thing to do is to make the most out of what you have. I don't have to possess the best of everything. I must simply use what I have on hand to get what I want. I have what I need on hand. I must simply appreciate and use what I have today to get what I want for tomorrow. Sparkpeople is all I need for right now. I must simply use the tools available. I must get back to basics and start journalizing my food and exercise.

In a switch, GOP governors back expanding Medicaid
DES MOINES, Iowa Once largely united in resisting the Obama administration's new health care overhaul, a growing number of Republican governors are now buying into parts of the system as the financial realities of their states' medical costs begin to counterbalance the fierce election politics of the issue.
This week, Michigan's Rick Snyder became the sixth GOP governor to propose expanding his state's health insurance program to cover more low-income residents, in line with the Democratic administration's strong recommendation. Eleven Republican governors have rejected the idea while a dozen, who have been mostly critical, have not announced a decision.
Although the Democratic president's re-election last fall cleared the way for providing health insurance for millions of Americans who don't have it, many Republican governors have resisted parts of the plan that remained optional. They have been reluctant to expand their Medicaid programs to cover more low-income residents. And many declined to take responsibility for the online marketplaces - called exchanges- that would offer subsidized private coverage to the middle class.
Both would pose costs to the states and also involved cooperating with a larger government role in health care that many Republicans strongly opposed.
However, the federal government's agreement to pay most of the added Medicaid expense, and belief that fewer residents would be showing up at local hospitals without insurance, have begun to break down some governors' opposition.
"Politically, the dynamic may be shifting," said Matt Benson, a senior aide to Arizona Republican Gov. Jan Brewer, who proposed expanding Medicaid last month. "There may be some folks looking at this anew."
Two high-profile Republican governors, Scott Walker of Wisconsin and Rick Scott of Florida, have voiced skepticism about the federal terms but are still considering the option.
Most Democratic governors have supported expanding their Medicaid programs to cover more low-income residents, mainly adults with no children at home, who don't qualify now. With such an expansion, Medicaid would account for almost all of the state's poor. Under the new federal plan, higher earners would be required to get private insurance. Together, the provisions are aimed at sharply reducing the 15% of Americans who are uninsured.
But many Republican governors shrank from taking on any further costs for Medicaid, which has heavily burdened state budgets. The federal government would pay the full cost for the first three years under the new system, but the states would pay up to 10 percent later. Some governors worried that the federal government could decide to trim back its contribution in the future.
The governors now agreeing to opt in and expand Medicaid include Republicans from different regions of the country and different ideological leanings. This has prompted hope among some health care overhaul supporters of more GOP defections. In addition to Snyder and Brewer, Republican governors who support expanding Medicaid include Jack Dalrymple of North Dakota, John Kasich of Ohio, Brian Sandoval of Nevada and Susana Martinez of New Mexico.
In each state, the proposal must still be approved by the legislature, where there is still Republican opposition.
Snyder said that in Michigan, the expansion would provide coverage for about 500,000 uninsured residents, mostly at federal expense, and save state taxpayers $1.2 billion through 2020. Many states now help hospitals cover some of the cost of treating those without insurance.
"This is a federal program that we would not have necessarily created for Michigan," he said Wednesday, but "this is saving money and improving lives."
Governors have been under immense pressure to opt in from hospital and medical associations, as well as advocates for the poor.
In explaining their decisions, Kasich, Brewer and others have said rejecting an expansion would mean their taxpayers would subsidize care for those in other states, while receiving no benefits themselves. In Ohio, that would be an estimated $2.4 billion over two years, Kasich said Monday.

NEW YORK (AP) — For the first time since the second week of the season, the New York Yankees are back at .500.
A resurgent Nathan Eovaldi combined with his bullpen on a two-hitter to win his fifth straight decision, and theYankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-0 Tuesday night to extend their winning streak to six games.
Carlos Beltran homered off knuckleballer R.A. Dickey and drove in New York's first two runs. Having dropped as many as eight games under .500 during their worst start in a quarter-century, the Yankees (22-22) won for the 13th time in 18 games and evened their record for the first time since they were 4-4 on the morning of April 15.

Here is my JSFiddle. I want the url as http://example.com/#content-1 and update to next h2 title when i click next. Any help please ?
Here's a really quick solution without changing too much of your codes:
OP has asked, "Can you tell me please how to get the same content even after refresh the page ? – user1619228 1 hour ago"
You can do this by adding this right after
The additional script above simply:
I have not addressed the updating of the image's background colour yet, but I believe that if you apply the fundamentals demonstrated above, you'd be able to add the "selected" classes to the right images as well. You'd of course be required to tweak the codes a little by adding some additional IDs or classes to the list items holding the images in order to manipulate them via jQuery.
I know the above may not be the prettiest or the best of solutions, but it's the only one that came to mind when I imposed a restriction on myself not to change too much of your HTML structure or jQuery.
Hope this helps further!
Further reference for OP
Here's how the whole document should look like:
Just copy and paste everything into a new HTML file and open it up in a browser of your choice, click on next and refresh. The page content that is shown should remain the same. Copy the new URL, open up a new tab and throw the copied URL into the address bar - the page loads and shows the correct content based on the hash tag.
This should work, right?
You can do that with a jQuery history/hash change plugin. Like this one. Google it. You will find many more.
Or see this StackOverflow post: What's the best library to do a URL hash/history in JQuery?

RANDOLPH - Sara Bowen and fiancé Shawn Sedor of South Royalton were the first to welcome a baby in the new year at Gifford Medical Center in Randolph.
Bowen gave birth to daughter, Kaydence Sedor, on Jan. 2 at 10:29 p.m. A gorgeous and healthy Kaydence weighed in at 7 pounds 12 ounces and is 20 ½ inches long.
She is the couple's second child. Two-year-old Cassidy Sedor was also born at Gifford.
The family was excited to have the first baby of the new year. "It's really cool, actually," said Bowen.

Skip to comments.A New Era of Credibility
Posted on 09/17/2004 4:27:35 AM PDT by TaxRelief
The conservative web group, FReerepublic.com, in its quest for "truth in media", may have accidentally stumbled across the means for unseating the leftists' obsession with "tolerance".
For over a year now, Freerepublic.com bloggers (Freepers) have been publically challenging the "factual information" disseminated in news stories published by the main stream media (MSM). The website's members have picked apart undocumented statistics; they've delved into the partisan semantics of questions on political polls; they've "FReeped" online polls to prove the uselessness of easily manipulated data; they've exposed sub-groups of radical activist organizations like "PETA", which pose as research "think tanks" and "responsible physicians"; they've bombarded news stations with phone calls and emails when the reporting is blatantly one-sided or even false; and finally, as this summer draws to a close, they have begun to publically object to lazy and biased newscasting.
As the analytical members of the conservative website FReerepublic.com have relentlessly challenged the credibility of the MSM, they have also simultaneously proven a theory that our forefathers discussed as they authored the first ten Amendments to the US Constitution; the Freedom of the Press has to be absolute, not just because truth is critical for sustaining a democracy in an otherwise Socialist world, but because truth itself cannot be ordered or legislated; it is the process of discourse, debate and disagreement that leads to true enlightenment.
However, as history has shown numerous times in the past, when "enlightenment" rears it's shining head, "darkness" goes on the defensive. Clearly, the crowd that seeks the truth is in direct conflict with those that "believe" truth is subjective and personal.
In the early seventies, a movement that focused on "prejudice" and "intolerance"--catch words intended to stop random and cruel discrimination against people with different colored skins--ballooned into a social behavior fad that temporarily pushed aside conservative etiquette. As a result, an entire generation of young people has now been raised believing that the concept of "maintaining a good reputation" is a selfish ploy perpetuated by adults who seek to control the scope of their teenagers' sexual activity, that everyone has the right to choose his own moral framework, and that questioning another's reputation is the equivalent of discrimination based on ethnicity.
In the process of subverting social norms, the simple concepts of credibility, honesty and reputation were thrown out with the bath water. A few folks saw what was happening along the way; many had to go through their own life experiences to become aware of the problem, and some have only just figured it out. Regardless of what brought them to this point, conservatives are coming out of the closet in droves, and it seems they are not willing to just "sit back and take it" anymore.
This past week "FReepers" crossed a critical threshold in their war on liberalism. By exposing, Dan Rather, a long-time icon of the MSM, as a man who is, at best lazy and partisan, or at worst dishonest and partisan, they actually were successful in preventing a paparazzi attack on the White House.
The rumbling volcano finally erupted when Dan Rather of CBS news--apparently oblivious to the "New Media"--happily presented some weak, insupportable "evidence" that a sitting president had attempted to shirk his duty as an American by either (a) serving in the National Guard rather than the regular army, or (b) missing 3 months of his 6 years service in the National Guard.
Rather's "evidence" consisted of "testimony" from partisan hacks and misquoted experts, and copies of memos "signed by" a man who died years ago (thereby unseating the commonly accepted theory that "dead men can't tell tales").
A FReeper, "Buckhead", immediately challenged the authenticity of the memos. Within hours, CBS's self-satisfied smiles were wiped off their faces, by the analytical branch of the "New Media".
This may well have been an historical moment; the MSM had probably never been diverted from its modus operandi of accuse-and-attack so successfully in the past. The MSM understandably was stunned to discover that the "seekers of truth" had reached a critical-enough mass to subvert "Plan A", the accuse-and-attack mission plan that had withstood the test of time; and to squash "Plan B": blame "intolerance" for anything that goes wrong. For forty years, the MSM had misused the concept of "tolerance" to cover-up its inadequacy, its laziness and the many, many errors made in haste, all because of a desire to get credit for "breaking the story".
Unfortunately for the MSM--but fortunately for America--FReepers and other rightwing bloggers are calling for a New Era of Credibility. Rightwingers are relying on the age-old premise that each individual is only as good as his honor and his ability to seekout and relay the truth (rather than the leftist theory that each man is only as good as his college degree--whether earned or gifted). The conservative bloggers harken back to the biblically-sound theory that a reputation once damaged is rarely ever recovered.
There may be no greater service that FReerepublic.com can do for the American people than to continue their mission to expose the MSM's poor journalistic practices (like quoting and enshrining of "unnamed sources"; the use of un-authenticated documents; the poor selection of interviewees; personal relationships between editors and partisan hacks; the backroom cover-up games and the rampant plagiarism of blogs and other reporter's articles). Perhaps they will even bring about the demise of the monopolistic mainstream media altogether.
Liberals may have attempted to destroy the value of a good reputation by telling kids not to "judge" others and to be "tolerant", but those same leftists did not eradicate the quest for truth well enough to prevent a powerful force from re-emerging and continuing on with the mission to conquer social misbehavior.
Thank you.
Good morning.
(Robt raises cup of coffee in toast.)
Actually, the coffee is still in the cup, not in the toast, but I assume you get the idea. 8<)
I agree that the next evolution of FR should include more original thoughts and writings from the many talented FReepers who are more than capable of developing their own news from information reported by the many sources now available. Long live the New Media!!!
Excellent article. Very good analysis of the way things stand today.
ping ; )
Hear, hear ... kudos to a fine analysis. We must never forget, however, that winning an egagement, or even a campaign, is not winning the war. The only way to carry the issue is to maintain the momentum of victory, press the attack, take the fight to the enemy, direct the battle, and force the opponent's moves. It is not time to gloat, it is time to push back all the harder.
Try seven years. In fact, the MSM attemped to have us shut down by a phony baloney lawsuit.
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
"Try seven years. In fact, the MSM attemped to have us shut down by a phony baloney lawsuit."
How? when?
However, the ability to publically share the quality and accuracy of FR's detective work has reached a new level of maturity in the past year or so.
We are the New Media.
And the MSM can not stand it
Thank you algore for inventing the internet!
Good oped.
Free Republic has been doing "its thing" for about 7 years.
One of the first big events for me was helping to keep the Ghorroid from illegally becoming president.
Then, we had a victory at Klamath Lake and helped to stop the Enviral Nazis from destroying thousands of farm and ranch families for a stinking bottom sucking fish. That was the first time the Enviral Nazis suffered a defeat in their rural cleansing of American farmers, ranchers, and other innocent Americans.
Since then, we have had a lot of victories while exposing the MSM as a vile pr tool of the left wing lunatics.
We helped to support the Swift Vets re support and donations. The Swift Vets have taken at least one wheel off of Kerry's SUV, which he doesn't own, and his poll #s have been in a decrease since their first ad. Without that wheel, he has been spinning out of control in his race to become the French dictator of America.
Then, we caught the AP maggot Tom Hays lying about the boos and drove a spike in that AP outright falsehood.
Now, we have made America and the world aware that one of the MSM's icon and his NOTNEWS network, C BS are liars, forgers and probably criminals. We have known it all along, now America is aware of what we know. We drove a spike into the heart of this vile attack on GW.
Along the way, we defused the Plame/Wilson scam, which was a similiar scam like the C BS forgeries.
Next, we will help to get Kerry's service records out in the open like GW's. Then we will stop the new lies that AP is starting about no real WMDS were in Iraq. The MSM will be doing the same thing with the upcoming UN report that they did with the 9/11 report before it came out. We have the UN's own report to show that AP is and will be lying on this issue with the other liars of the MSM.
Hopefully, all new Freepers and established Freepers will support Free Republic with regular donations or will become regular monthly donors. Free Republic get no grants or tax money like the left wing organizations. We share the costs of Free Republic to keep it going each day.
If I may be so bold as to make one change.
We're made as ZELL and we're not going to take it anymore.
What a great look back with an "eye" toward the future!!!
What we are today and tomorrow are a combination of what we did in the past, are doing today and will do tomorrow.
Great essay! I love the way Dr. Laura put it when some young girl complained about her being "too judgemental." She said something to the effect that we're not living in the Garden of Eden anymore! We now must know the difference between right and wrong and act accordingly!!!
The link below will take you to the newest Swift Vet Commercial. Kerry's credibility re his medal tossing is shredded by his own words.
Excellent article!
I hope everyone gets a chance to read it and more importantly, personally follows through with the content and spirit of message. The MSM must radically change and it will only change with people like TaxRelief and Buckhead.
And isn't that what makes US different from them.
Gosh, I love us! :-)
Great article. FReepers for the truth ping!
And isn't that what makes US different from them.
Gosh, I love us! :-)
Amen, Sister!
ROFLOL, now that is a real hoot. Thanks for the chuckle.
I'm all tingly.

FreeRepublic - the shining city on the hill.
Thank you. This is excellent! :)
Thank you for the ping and alert to this article, Tonk. It's great.
That is great.
I will have to learn it from you next week.
We are heading to baby sit with the grandkids. They are calling it a sleepover as their parents will be going elsewhere for most of the weekend. Our DIL has warned us that the kids have our life planned from the moment we arrive until we leave.
Good point. Conservatives lost a major battle when they allowed once-conservative media outlets, such as Time and US News/World Report to be taken over by the leftists. We allowed leftists to take over TV Networks which were once reasonably neutral, and allowed them to take over control of the major Foundations in the US.
Thanks for the ping, MistyCA!
I also agree with teh sentiment expressed here that more of us FReepers need to start becoming "Journalists", since we ARE the New Media... We can tell the TRUTH, something many in the MSM seem to have forgotten how to do...
To steal a quote from John Kerry, who stole it from the commie Langston Hughes, "Let Journalists become journalists again" ;0)
We surely don't need the MSM editorials <:-}}
Where do I sign up, I've already got my pajamas:
Reporting for duty, and I can salute, too!
You sure are a good bumper! Thanks!
Great article, thanks for the ping.
Rush is always taking about the Limbaugh echo effect.
In my opinion, this is actually a re-echo of the Freerepublic echo effect.
I have seen, many times, stuff brought up here on the news when I get home. My wife laughs at me, when I tell her, "I think Brit Hume lifted that from us".
This time, with RatherGate, is the first time that we have gotten actual credit from anyone outside our own.
It's a good time to be a FReeper.
See this thread for more on the history/settlement.
Yes, and with that comes a special responsibility to work hard to get it right. Because of all the efforts here to do just that, the credibility can't be denied!! Happy trails, Dan Rather!
You are welcome!

Zandra Rhodes has found a home in SD
The San Diego Opera will present Rhodes' designs in a production of 'Aida'
Zandra Rhodes, designer and artist
Born: 1940 in Chatham, Kent in England
Primary influence: Her mother, a fitter for a Paris fashion house and teacher at Medway College of Art, where Rhodes first studied.
Education: Royal College of Art
Personal: Lives in Del Mar and London with her partner, film producer Salah Hassanein
Labor of love: Founder of the Fashion and Textile Museum in London, which opened in 2003
Name-dropping: Clothing designed for or worn by Diana, Princess of Wales; Freddie Mercury, Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, HRH Princess Michael of Kent, Debbie Harry, Bianca Jagger, Paris Hilton, Joan Rivers, Helen Mirren, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashley Olsen, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell among others.
Honors: Named a Commander of the British Empire by the Queen in 1997. Appointed Chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts in 2009
'It was the funniest thing," said Zandra Rhodes, whose production of "Aida" will be presented by the San Diego Opera for the first time on April 20.
Rhodes was remembering a call she received from a friend in 1985 about doing a show in La Jolla. The acclaimed British designer had just released her first book, "The Art of Zandra Rhodes," and she figured it might be good promotion.
"So we flew to this little, tiny village, La Jolla, and I did this show and this exhibition at the museum (now the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego)," Rhodes said. "And all the ladies, Carolyn Yorston and several others, met me in pink wigs."
Yorston, who has remained close friends with Rhodes, also remembers the event at Sherwood Auditorium.
"At the time, I don't think we knew much about Zandra Rhodes," said Yorston, then a member of the museum's board and the chair of the event. "Of course, we had no idea she would end up living here. But we had heard she wore pink hair. So we met her at the Whaling Bar, which at the time was the local hangout. And when she came in, there we were with our pink hair. We just melted her heart."
It was the beginning of, as they say, a beautiful friendship between Rhodes and San Diego.
Interview with Zandra
James Chute's video interview with Zandra Rhodes
She moved here a decade later when her partner decided he wanted to retire by the sea. And although she has continued to divide her time between Del Mar and London, where she founded the Fashion and Textile Museum in 2003, she has indelibly woven herself into the fabric of the community through her involvement with numerous cultural, educational and health care organizations.
She's become a local institution, even if she's never given up the label of "English fashion designer" (to quote Wikipedia and numerous other references to her online).
"When I first came here, I thought I would build things up and do a lot more here," Rhodes said. "But I've found people were really more interested in me being British than anything else, so I've left it at that.
"I think everyone has expected me to be me."
In Rhodes' world, that's the bottom line. Her international career as a designer and artist is based on her being herself, as evidenced by her presence in major museums (her designs will be prominently displayed in the upcoming "PUNK: Chaos to Couture" exhibit at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art) and in the wardrobes of individuals ranging from HRH Princess Michael of Kent to Sarah Jessica Parker.
But San Diego did facilitate a third jewel in her crown: She's a highly regarded opera designer, which she says wouldn't have happened without the help of the San Diego Opera. In the late '90s, Ian Campbell, the company's director, not only invited her to design costumes for a new production of "The Magic Flute," but he was willing to protect her vision.

Visa update for EMV Chip implementation in the U.S.
Further to our recent blog article about the EMV cardholder verification methods (CVM) that are likely to be used during the EMV Chip implementation in the U.S., Visa have just published some additional guidance on their blog.
As we suggested, Visa are recommending that initially merchants in the USA should concentrate on online-only EMV solutions that do not need to support EMV offline PIN (where the PIN is checked by the card rather than the bank's online host) – so whereas the rest of the world has typically implemented "Chip & PIN" solutions, in the USA it may be "Chip & Signature" instead.
We can help you reduce complexity, cost and time-to-market, to smoothly implement EMV in the U.S. Our EMV level 2 kernels are fully compliant with all the latest industry requirements for online or offline authorisation. They provide a simple but powerful way to add EMV level 2 functionality to attended (POS terminals, ticketing machines) and unattended (parking, vending, ATMs) card payment devices.
