As the March 31 deadline for signing up for healthcare coverage under the Affordable Care Act approaches next Monday, for the approximately 15 percent of Americans who are not already covered by a plan from their employer, the latest Kaiser Health Tracking Poll released Wednesday finds that six in ten of the uninsured are unaware of the March 31 deadline to sign up for coverage.
The frustration and confusion from four years of constant attacks by Republicans on President Obama's signature healthcare law was all too clear in KHTP's report. About half those who say they discussed the law with friends or family (28 percent of the public overall) report hearing mostly bad things about the law in these discussions, while a much smaller share (5 percent of the public overall) say they heard mostly good things and the remainder say it was a mix of the two.
Meanwhile, Republicans have mocked the administration for not hitting an estimate of seven million sign-ups by the Congressional Budget Office. After the Department of Health and Human Services announced 4.2 million sign-ups through the end of February, the Avalere Health consulting firm projected that sign-ups would hit 5.4 million by the deadline. Another calculation on the final total said it would be closer to 6.22 million.
Brown, George team-up for ACA sign-ups
To help turn the tide in the remaining days before sign-ups end until later this year in November, U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Ohio State University football star Eddie George held a news conference call to alert Ohioans to the looming deadline for enrolling in the 2014 health insurance marketplace.
More than five million Americans—and nearly 106,000 Ohioans—are now healthier and better protected through health insurance obtained on the new marketplace, Brown's office said in a media release. Many Ohioans still remain eligible for insurance through the marketplace, about 85 percent of whom are eligible to enroll with financial assistance.
"The health law has already helped millions of Ohioans receive quality care at an affordable price," Brown said following the call today. "But many more Ohioans are still eligible for enrollment in the health insurance marketplace," Brown said, adding that each of these Ohioans can receive valuable assistance from a health care navigator, and most are eligible for financial assistance.
"With less than one week remaining before the enrollment deadline, Ohioans should utilize these resources in order to get covered, live healthier lives, and be better protected," the second-term senator reelected in 2012 said.
As for George, a former football player at Ohio State and for the Tennessee Titans, one of the lessons he learned is about the importance of staying healthy. In 2006, Tennessee Governor Phil Bredsen appointed George as a spokesperson for the state's GetFitTN program which is aimed at preventing Type 2 diabetes and promoting a healthier, more active lifestyle. George recently participated in a "Funny or Die" online sketch to promote health care enrollment.
When the KHTP reminded its survey candidates of the deadline and the fine for not getting covered, half of those who lack coverage as of mid-March say they plan to remain uninsured. Four in ten of the uninsured, meanwhile, are still unaware of the law's subsidies to help lower-income Americans purchase coverage, and half don't know about the law's expansion of Medicaid.
Among the public overall, the general opinion of the ACA moved in a more positive direction this month for the first time since November's post-rollout negative shift in opinion, the KHTP reported. While unfavorable views of the law continue to outpace favorable ones, the gap between negative and positive views now stands at eight percentage points, down from 16 percentage points in January.
Four years after the ACA's passage, a little over half the public says they are tired of hearing the national debate over the law and want the country to focus more on other things, while four in ten say it's important for the debate to continue. At the same time, six in ten want Congress to keep the law in place and either leave it as is or work to improve it, while three in ten would prefer to see it either repealed and replaced with a Republican alternative or repealed and not replaced.
Sen. Brown released Ohio specific data detailing, to date, the health law's benefits for Ohioans. The health law has already ended lifetime caps on insurance coverage; covered both children and adults with pre-existing conditions; allowed young adults to stay on their parents' insurance until their 26th birthday; offered free preventive care in new private insurance plans; and provided tax credits to small businesses to help them afford health coverage for their employees.
Sen. Brown announced last week that the health law helped more than 212,000 Ohio seniors and persons with disabilities save nearly $205,000 in 2013 on prescription drugs, with an average discount of $964.
Information provided by Brown's office notes that financial help is available for middle and low-income individuals to enroll if they don't have meaningful employer-sponsored health coverage. This includes a family of four with an annual income of below $94,200, and single adults with an annual income below $45,960. Premiums for some Americans will be nearly 14 percent lower in 2014 than previously expected, according to a recent report by HHS.
For a single Ohioans, the average monthly premium for the lowest-cost silver plan is $304 and for the lowest cost bronze plan is $263. States with the lowest premiums have more than double the number of insurance companies offering plans compared to states with the highest premiums. Ohio consumers have an average of 46 health plans from which to choose in the marketplace.
The ACA ensures that the dollars Ohioans pay for health insurance are used for their medical care—rather than for executive bonuses and ad campaigns. Indeed, the law requires that insurance companies spend at least 80 percent of the premiums they collect from consumers on medical care. If they don't meet this goal, Brown's office said they must give consumers a rebate.
In Ohio, that rebate is estimated to benefit more than 6,300 Ohioans this year from $487,000 in rebates. "Ohio families have faced unchecked hikes in their health insurance costs for years," Sen. Brown said. He added, "The law subjects insurance companies to new scrutiny if they raise prices by more than 10 percent; and the health law provided the state of Ohio $5.1 million to combat unjustifiable increases."
Brown has declined Congressional health insurance for nearly two decades—keeping a 1992 campaign promise to decline a health plan until similar coverage is available to all Americans. He entered the marketplace during the 2014 enrollment period that started October 1, 2013 and ends March 31, 2014.
George played running back for the Ohio State Buckeyes between 1992 and 1995, studying landscape architecture. In 1995, George became the sixth out of now seven Buckeyes to win the Heisman Trophy, awarded annually to college football's greatest player. George holds Ohio State's single game rushing record with 314 yards and in 2011 was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame.
As a professional, George was the 1996 Rookie of the Year, made four Pro Bowls, and is one of only 28 running backs in NFL history to rush for 10,000 yards or more. George is only the second running back in league history to achieve this feat without missing a start; the first being Cleveland Browns legend, Jim Brown. George currently works as a football analyst, actor, and landscape architect.

They are starting to get the hang of this. The Liberal Bee Jays rallied for their third straight one run win in a 5-4 thriller at Haysville Friday night. Texas-Arlington's Ryan Walker drove home Yavapai's Dean Friedberg to make it 5-4. The BJ's then handed the ball to Wichita State closer Cale Elam who struck out two in a scoreless ninth.
The BJ's scored in the first when Lubbock Christian's Richard Bohlken tripled to right center and Nicholls State's Blake Bergeron dumped a bloop single to right. Haysville tied it in the first on Wichita State lefty Josh Smith. The BJ's took a 2-1 lead in the sixth when Northwood's Eddie Arroyo scored from third after the ball slipped out of the catcher's hand when faking a throw to second.
Josh Smith pitched five innings and allowed one run, struck out seven, and walked five. The Heat dug into the BJ bullpen in the sixth. San Diego's Nick Youpel retired one out in the inning before lefty Jerad Moore from Kansas State entered the game. Haysville got a two out single up the middle from Don Lambert to drive home two runs and make it 3-2 Haysville.
The BJ's came right back to tie the game in the eighth without a hit or an error. It was just Arroyo attacking a defense. He walked and stole second base. He would later score from second base on a wild pitch to tie the game. His teammates bolted out of the dugout to greet him.
The Heat took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the eighth when PJ Garcia launched a ball of the wall in right to drive home a run against reliever UTA's Kasey Merck.
Sometimes it takes some luck to win on the road in the Jayhawk. Jake Barrios bounced a ball toward second which bounced over the second baseman's head on a bad hop double with one out. With two outs, Dean Friedberg wacked a two out RBI single to right center to tie the game. Walker followed up with a soft single up the middle to give the BJ's the lead.
Bohlken and Walker were both 2-4. Merck (1-0) got the win on the mound and Elam nailed down his third save.
The BJ's are 12-2 overall and 5-2 in the Jayhawk League while the Heat are 5-5 in the Jayhawk. The same two teams meet Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Vulcan Field in Haysville. The game will air on Talkradio 1270 and kscbnews.net.

Car would not accelerate
I have a 2010 cts wagon premium all wheel drive with 40000 miles. I was at the stop light and when I went to pull off the car would not accelerate. It was like I had it in manual mode but didn't shift out of first gear. Anyone had this problem? It's not doing it anymore.

Re: Car would not accelerate
Take it in to your dealer and get it on record that you had a problem. They probably won't pull a code, but get it in writing that you had a problem.
Keep us informed, Marv
Interesting that it happened to you too yesterday. In my situation, I was making a left turn with a major pothole in my way. Cars were coming so I threw it in sport and gunned it. It then wound out in third and got stuck there. I then threw it into manual mode and shifted up with no issue. At the next light, I put it back into econ auto and have had no other issues since. No codes either. (I think my wheels slipped when it was revving up and pissed off the system somehow) I called my dealer just to let them know and would recommend you do the same as Marv stated.
Re: Car would not accelerate
Thanks guys!! I'll take it up this weekend and let them know.

This Friday-Saturday, September 20-21, the Fresno State volleyball team (4-5) caps one of its most challenging preseason slates with its final two-day, three-match tournament of the early season. The `Dogs will take on three more teams that sport postseason ambitions to prepare for next week's Mountain West home openers vs. Utah State (9/26) and Boise State (9/28).
Sporting a 15 set-win streak, American (10-0) is one of 12 teams nationally that are still undefeated this year, and was picked to win the Patriot League. Xavier (7-3) has posted 20-win seasons and Atlantic-10 Conference runner-up honors the last three years. Off to its best start since 2009, UC Irvine (7-3) was picked to finish fifth in the preseason Big West Conference Coaches Poll and returns three all-league honorees.
In the Fresno State Classic last weekend, the `Dogs scored runner-up honors after its wins over NCAA returnee Belmont (3-2) and CSU Bakersfield (3-0), while returning national runner-up and No. 20 Oregon won the finale vs. Fresno State (3-0) to take top tourney honors.
Against Belmont, the Bulldogs posted one of their most dramatic wins of the season after coming back from an 0-2 deficit. The win vs. Bakersfield featured a Bulldog season high in hitting (.300) and a season opponent hitting low (.028). In the finale, Oregon became the first team to hit +.300 against Fresno State this year.
Individually last weekend in the Fresno State Classic, Fresno State's continued to feature notable efforts by one of its most experienced squads and several fresh faces.
All-Tournament Team selection and senior outside hitter Korrin Wild (Kingsburg, Calif.) claimed her second straight all-tournament team nod in as many weeks. The former All-MW choice led players from all four Fresno State Classic teams in kills (4.60 per set) and points (4.85 p/s) and ranked fourth in digs (3.40 p/s) and tops among non-liberos for the three-match tourney. She led the Bulldogs in kills and points in all three matches, and in the tourney finale vs. returning national runner-up and No. 20 Oregon, she hit a season high (.391) and also led the team in digs (6). The preseason All-Mountain West pick registered a team season-best in digs (21) for non-liberos vs. Belmont (21), and her 19 kills was two shy of her team season high. Those totals vs. the Ducks in hitting (.391) and vs. the Bruins in kills (19) and points (21) were the team's fourth-, fourth- and fifth-best overall of the season, respectively. In the opener vs. Belmont, she also completed her third double-double of 2013 and 31st career-wise. In the second match, her 14 kills and 14.5 points vs. Bakersfield were team three-set season bests, and her 13 kills and 13.5 points vs. Oregon came in only two sets of duty.
On the season, she stood top five this week in the MW in kills (third, 3.69 p/s) and points (fifth, 4.09 p/s), and 80th and 100th nationally. Career-wise for Fresno State, she moved up two spots last weekend on the career digs list (seventh, 1,009), and also stands top 10 on similar lists for aces per set (third, 0.31) and aces (seventh, 113).
Last weekend, senior right side hitter Holly Franks (Tollhouse, Calif.) scored her third and fourth double-doubles of the season vs. Belmont (14 digs, 13 digs) and CSUB (10 kills, 10 digs, .320), and was just shy of another in the three-setter vs. No. 20 Oregon (8 kills, 8 digs). The week before, she set a new school record in aces (7). She scored her second double-double of the season vs. the Shockers (12 kills, 11 digs) with one of her three +.300 totals of the year (.333). The weekend before vs. Cal State Northridge she led the team with her season highs in kills (14), hitting (.400), and points (20), and added three aces, five blocks and 10 digs for the double-double. She also had +10 kills vs. Rice (10) and a season high in blocks (6) vs. Santa Clara to claim All-Tournament honors.
Junior middle blocker Maci Murdock received Fresno State Classic all-tournament honors last weekend after she connected on a season high in kills (11), logged six blocks, and hit .375 vs. Belmont, then added +.400 marks vs. CSUB (.600, 6 kills) and Oregon (.429, 8 kills). The first week of the season, she logged the team's two highest hitting marks of the season vs. Rice (.667, 11 kills) and Santa Clara (.600, 10 kills), and was just shy of her career best from 2011 (.700 vs. La. Tech). She had another +.300 effort vs. CSN (.348, 11K), and posted a team season high in blocks (7) vs. both Rice and Santa Clara. This week, she ranks ninth in the conference and first on the squad in hitting (.383), and second for the `Dogs in blocks (0.64 p/s) and fourth in kills (1.86 p/s).
Two weekends ago, sophomore Zana Bowens posted the first +20-kill totals of her career vs. Rice (team season high 21, .280) and Santa Clara (20, .341) after she entered the season with a prior kills best of five last year vs. Northern Arizona. A starter in all nine matches this year, she also enjoyed her first career double-double thanks to her 12 digs vs. Santa Clara. Her 24 points vs. Rice is also the team season high and her personal career high, and her five blocks in three sets vs. CSUB was also a career high by one over her tally against CSN (4), while her preseason best was 1 from 2012.
Junior transfer and setter Cori Ehmen leads the conference for most assists in a match with her totals from her first two Bulldog matches vs. Rice (62) and Santa Clara (60). That 62 tally is tied for sixth-best for Fresno State since the start of rally scoring in 2001. The addition from Western Iowa Community College added four blocks vs. Santa Clara, and single aces vs. SCU and CSN. Her season assists average (10.44 per set) ranked fifth in the conference (and tops among newcomers) and 67th nationally this week.
Senior middle blocker Lauren Albertson tied the team's season high for blocks vs. Santa Clara (7) and added six vs. CS Northridge. She also racked up 11 kills vs. Rice and hit .350, and added eight and seven kills, respectively, vs. SCU and CSN. A starter in all nine matches, she led the team this week in blocks average this season (0.97 p/s).
Last weekend, junior Christina Lee made her first starts at setter for the team since 2011. Her 57 assists vs. Belmont ranks fourth-best in the MW this year, and she helped direct the team to a .300 team season high vs. CSUB the next night. The first week of the season, she logged the team's top dig totals of the year as the starting libero vs. Santa Clara (27) - the Mountain West West's eighth-best total of the year - and Rice (24). She has led the team in digs in three contests this year and started eight matches.
Freshman libero Maggie Eppright upped her season high for digs (15) in the five-set win vs. Belmont and connected on two aces. In the three-set win vs. CSUB, she logged a season-high three aces and added eight digs. The week before, she made her first start vs. Wichita State and logged a career-high 14 digs. The match before she racked up eight digs in the third set vs. No. 25 BYU to tie her previous match season high (8) vs. Rice. She logged a season-high two aces at Portland, and had another in the season opener vs. Rice.
This weekend, the `Dogs make their first-ever appearances vs. American and Xavier,and sport a 14-9 all-time record vs. UC Irvine. The `Dogs won the first four meetings with the Anteaters from 1980-81, and also the last four matches from 1991-96.

American was picked first in the 2013 Patriot League Preseason Poll for the 12th time in 13 years in August, and has made NCAA trips 10 of the last 16 years. Among its 10 wins this year, nine were sweeps (vs. Coppin State, Howard, George Mason, Georgetown, LaSalle, Maryland-Eastern Shore, Penn State, Sacred Heart, Weber State), and the other was a 3-1 decision over Manhattan. Last year's squad went 21-10 and advanced to the conference tournament final for the 12th straight year but fell to Colgate. Among the team's 11 returnees from 2012, all-league first-team selection and senior middle blocker Morgan Hendrix posted a school record for blocks per game last year (1.34 per set) and its second-best mark in blocks (146), and also ranked second in the league in hitting (.286). Senior outside hitter Juliana Crum and junior setter Monika Smidova are also returning all-league first- and second-team choices. Team-wise this year, American ranks seventh nationally in kills (15.0 p/s), and also top 50 in hitting (11th, .305), aces (22nd, 1.81) and assists (25th, 13.23). Five Eagles rank top 100 this week nationally - junior middle blocker Kelly McCaddin (hitting, seventh, .480), Smidova (aces, 21st, 0.52 p/s), Hendrix (hitting, 23rd, .431), junior libero Megan Rosburg (aces, 24th, 0.52 p/s) and junior outside hitter Kristyna Lindsovska (points, 70th, 4.25; kills, 90th, 3.62). In his 25th year at the helm, Barry Goldberg sports 599 career wins and has led the team to 13 conference titles and 12 NCAA trips the last 16 years.
Xavier was picked to finish third in the Big East preseason poll behind Creighton and Marquette, and senior middle blocker Alex Smith and senior outside hitter Sarah Brown were Atlantic-10 First-Team choices the past two years. The squad's wins this year have come vs. Northern Kentucky, Clemson, Robert Morris, Central Michigan, Miami (OH), SEMO and IUPUI, and its losses to No. 7 Michigan, No. 13 Ohio State and Duquesne. This week, the team is ranked seventh nationally in assists (13.80 per set), and top 50 in digs (43rd, 16.17 p/s) and hitting (50th, .257). Junior setter Aubree Smith ranks 16th nationally in assists (11.40) and 118th in hitting (.352), and others ranked top 125 include Smith (31st, .416) and freshman outside hitter Abbey Bessler (points, 92nd, 4.13 p/s; kills, 121st, 3.49 p/s). Fourth-year head coach Mike Johnson owns a 69-32 record and led the team to runner-up A-10 finishes and 20-win seasons in 2012 (21-11), `11 (21-11) and `10 (20-10). In prior stints, he lead Austin Peay State to a 22-9 mark in 2009 after serving as an assistant coach at Cal Poly and Washington.
UC Irvine was picked to finish fifth in the Big West Conference in the preseason - three places better than its finish in 2012 (eighth). This year, the team opened the season with five straight wins, and added two more wins last weekend vs. Utah Valley (3-1) and Idaho State (3-1). Its only losses this year came to Cleveland State (2-3), at #25 BYU (0-3) and vs. Utah (1-3). The team ranked top 100 nationally this week in five categories - hitting (65th, .249), blocks (65th, 2.48 p/s), win-loss percentage (81st, 0.700), digs (83rd, 15.35 p/s) and aces (91st, 1.45 p/s). Senior outside hitter Aly Squires and junior libero Shannon Fleming are All-Big West honorable mention choices, and sophomore outside hitter Marisa Bubica was an All-Freshman Team honoree last year. This week, four players rank top 150 nationally - Squires (117th, 3.50 p/s), junior middle blocker Arielle Manz (blocks, 126th, 1.11 p/s), senior middle blocker Shannon Fleming (blocks, 127th, 1.10 p/s) and Bubica (points, 149th, 3.86 p/s). Last week, Bubica posted a career high vs. Utah Valley in kills (21) and hitting (.645) and has hit +.300 in five of her last six matches. Joining her on the Wolverine Classic All-Tournament Team, Squires averaged 3.40 kills and 2.27 digs. Fifth-year head coach Paula Weishoff welcomed back 12 returnees from last year. She led the team to a 22-8 mark her first season and 58-74 overall. Prior to that, she led Concordia to a 146-33 record and two NAIA finals and was the NAIA Coach of the Year in 2008. As a player, she is a three-time Olympian (1984, 92, 96) and MVP of the `84 silver and `92 bronze medal squads.
The `Dogs will face a challenging regular season slate in 2013 with nine of their 29 regular season matches vs. NCAA Tournament qualifiers from last year's 64-team field.
That list includes last year's national runner-up Oregon, two more NCAA Regional advancers (BYU, Wichita State) and four more Round of 64 qualifiers (Belmont, Colorado State, San Diego State, Santa Clara).
In the AVCA preseason poll, three Fresno State foes stood top 25 - No. 8 Oregon, No. 13 BYU and No. 24 Wichita State - while CSU and SDSU received votes. Since then Colorado State has joined the top 25, and Cal State Northridge has received votes every week of the regular season.
Among various conference coach polls, six Bulldog opponents were tabbed their preseason favorites - Colorado State and San Diego State (Mountain West co-favorites), Belmont (Ohio Valley), BYU (West Coast), Rice (Conference USA) and Wichita State (Missouri Valley) - and three other non-conference foes sported legitimate postseason hopes - Oregon (Pac-12, fourth), Cal State Northridge (Big West, third) and Santa Clara (WCC, sixth).
Coming off an 18-13 overall record in 2012, Fresno State ranked #90 among the 330 teams nationally in last year's NCAA RPI ratings - respective program bests since 2004 and `03. The `Dogs are in their second season in the Mountain West and placed fourth in `12 (9-7).
Sixth-year head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell welcomes back a veteran Bulldog squad that features six of seven starters from 2012, and 10 letterwinners. Two senior outside hitters - Marissa Brand and Korrin Wild - are former all-conference choices, and junior middle blocker Maci Murdock was an all-freshman team choice in 2011.
Among the squad's four newcomers, three have already cracked the starting line-up - senior right side hitter Holly Franks (Cal Poly), junior setter Cori Ehmen (Iowa Western Community College) and freshman libero Maggie Eppright. Franks (Tollhouse, Calif.) led the Mustangs in kills and points last season (2.94 k/s; 3.22 p/s); Ehmen (York, Neb.) was a former Nebraska first-team all-state honoree for York High School; and Eppright was a Pac-7 and Country Player of the Year and two-time all-league and all-county choice for San Luis Obispo High School.
In the 2013 Mountain West Preseason Coaches Poll, the Bulldogs received 65 votes and were within five votes of the three teams just ahead - UNLV (third, 70), Utah State (fourth, 68) and New Mexico (fifth, 66). Last year's conference regular season co-champions San Diego State (first, 99) and Colorado State (second, 90) led the 11-team poll. The Aztecs received nine of the 11 first-place votes, and the Rams picked up the other two. Other conference teams included Boise State (seventh, 51), Wyoming (eighth, 37), San José State (ninth, 27), Air Force (10th, 17) and Nevada (11th, 15).
Senior outside hitter Korrin Wild was the highest Bulldog individual on last year's NCAA stat charts after she ranked 12th nationally in aces per set (0.44 avg.). The all-conference hitter also paced the Mountain West in the category and stood fourth in points (3.99 per set) and sixth in kills (3.39 p/s). Other returnees ranked top 10 individually in the MW in `12 include junior middle blocker Maci Murdock (hitting, third, .332), senior outside hitter Marissa Brand (seventh, kills, 3.18 p/s) and junior libero Christina Lee (digs, eighth, 3.94 p/s).
In 2012, the Bulldogs paced the conference team categories for aces (1.35 per set) and digs (15.23 p/s). Its other rankings in the then-nine-team league follow: assists (fourth, 12.43 p/s), kills (fourth, 13.46 p/s), hitting (sixth, .199), opponent hitting (sixth, .209) and blocks (ninth, 1.79 p/s).
NCAA-wise, the team ranked top 100 in three categories - aces (67th), kills (70th, 13.57 p/s) and assists (83rd), and its other rankings among the 330 Division 1 teams follow: win-loss percentage (118th, .581), digs (140th), hitting (163rd), and blocks (230th).
For the fourth straight season, the `Dogs received the American Volleyball Coaches (AVCA) Academic Team Award for their combined +3.40 grade point average for the 2012-13 academic year. Fresno State was one of five Division 1 programs from the state of California (with Pacific, Stanford, San Francisco and St. Mary's) and 130 nationally. Individually, senior outside hitter Marissa Brand received Capital One Academic All-District 8 honors last fall for her 3.90 grade point average. She won similar honors in 2011 as did Cecilia Agraz in 2011 (1st Team) and 2010 (2nd Team) - the first two-time honoree in the program's 42-year history. Agraz also earned the team's first Academic All-America honor in 2011.
Senior outside hitter Korrin Wild was a preseason 2013 All-Mountain West choice this past month, and one of three hitters chosen by league head coaches to the seven-person team. The Sanger, Calif., native was also a second-team all-league pick as a sophomore in 2011 -- the same season middle blocker Maci Murdock was an All-WAC Freshman Team choice. In 2010, current senior Marissa Brand was an All-WAC Second Team honoree in 2011 and All-Freshman Team choice in `09.
Earlier in head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell's Bulldog tenure, other all-league nods went to Brianna Clarke (1st Team-2011; 2nd Team-2009, `10) and Kelly Leonardo (2nd Team-2009), while Clarke and Baylee Platt were All-Freshman Team choices in 2008.
The team's non-returning starting position - setter - will be manned by junior transfer Cori Ehmen (Iowa Western Community College, York, Neb.) and freshman Brooke Legaux (Mission Viejo, Calif.). Ehmen was a Nebraska prep all-state first-team honoree as a junior and second-team choice as a sophomore for York High School. Legaux was an All-CIF South Section First Team pick as a prep senior for Tesoro High School and a League MVP. Their presence will alleviate the loss of Barbara Alcantara who was an All-Mountain West choice as a senior in 2012 after she led the conference in assists (11.23) and ranked 27th nationally.
After ranking in the lower half of the 330 Division 1 programs for the four years before her arrival, head coach Lauren Netherby-Sewell now has a three-year streak in the nation's upper half with the `Dogs. The team's last three rankings - 2012 (90), 2011 (138) and 2010 (150) - were its best since 2004, and a complete listing of rankings the last 11 years follows:

The Dynamics and Intelligence of Creativity
Filed Under Creativity
When do we start being creative, where does it come from and how important is it to our future? This is an important issue affecting us more than we realize, and a question that's finally getting due attention.
Wikipedia's definition of creativity – Creativity (or "creativeness") is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations of the creative mind between existing ideas or concepts.
Unfortunately, until now 'creativity' for the most part, has been considered a cheap commodity relegated to dreamers, and believed to only gain real value after an artists death, but thanks to the last decade of technological change, the currency of creativity may just be on its way up.
Creativity surrounds us in every day things from cars to cutlery – in what we do, see, use, eat, read, how we communicate, move and even how we feel; but how often do we take this powerful force seriously? The technology, communications and environment we live in today, have all pushed us to look at our world differently, and now maybe for the first time in history, we're becoming cognizant that our survival is based on, and needs human creativity to flourish.
We are all born creative, giving us the ability to solve problems and innovate the world around us, it is also the only element that remains to tell our story when we are gone, the key to our human heritage. The proof that we existed and contributed from mind to matter, this has been proven time and again, from wall carvings and pyramids to the medicine and technology we use today. So what are we doing to encourage and support this precious and limitless asset, today and the future? Here is a fascinating perspective on this gift, and how we educate ourselves out of one of our most dynamic and collaborative survival tools.
Note: the video will play on TED Talks page.
The creativity and humor Sir Ken Robinson used to present this topic, is a quiet affirmation of the powerful and captivating connection we have to creativity even with just the spoken word. A human talent that resonates deep and can truly make a difference in how we live, listen, interact and perceive the world around us.
Robinson's talk delivers an invaluable lesson – for people and economies to flourish, creativity needs to be encouraged, supported and respected in its many dynamic forms, and we need to appreciate the human potential in its entirety, rather than focus solely on wringing out more academics.
It's the creative genius in us all, and what we bring to fruition that makes our world interesting – through design, art, music, dance, food, language and technology to name a few, it's in everything we do. Creativity evolves our cultures and enriches our lives with depth, diversity and passion, making what we can accomplish limitless. If you stop to think for a moment, everything that surrounds us today, was once just a 'creative' idea. Can you imagine the world we would live in, if we actually focused on cultivating human creativity instead of depressing it?

"Not knowing it was impossible, he went ahead and did it."
The way I see it, as we grow older we lose our innocence and with it most of our spirit of adventure. Society (ultimately) has the blame, our family and our cultures with their "imposed" values. So we end up being a sum of influences and it really comes down to luck really. If you're lucky enough to grow up in an interesting creative environment, if your fortunate enough to have a "rich" life full of interesting persons and experiences then maybe you'll be able to set yourself free from what society imposes and what everyone else assumes as "true".
The bottom line is that we don't tackle problems the same way as "children" because we're biased by our surroundings, by our knowledge and by our experiences. We're just too afraid to take risks and as such we don't evolve as quickly as we could.
Oh well …

Interesting perspective Daniel, I think this is an issue we're going to see a lot more of, and one that will get considerably more value in the coming years. At the moment we know what we use half our brain capacity for, and we know we pull most of our creativity from the left, but could we also have "rich" resources that we haven't tapped into, and only need a little support to be set free?
We evolve through our creativity and the implementation of those ideas, how boring if nothing ever changed, our existence would be quite banal no?
I tend to agree, with Professor Robinson support creativity in any and every environment, then see what happens…

Since WWI education in many parts of the world quickly turned from individual learning to mass factory information overload, not based on personal needs, but a combined average. It was created to get children through school as rapidly and efficiently as possible in order to either contribute to the workforce or the military. Intriguingly this mentality has never gone away.
We are educating to promote consumerism, and suppress wisdom and creativity. Critical thinking has been swept under the rug and taking personal responsibility has been replaced with blame and lawsuits. It is without a doubt that the nurturing of creativity appears lowest on the rung, and I can only hope that each of us individually, will do our part to keep that creative fire burning in ourselves.

STONY BROOK, N.Y. -- Stony Brook scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to break a 1-1 tie and defeat the University of Maine baseball team 4-1 on Sunday afternoon in Stony Brook, N.Y. Alex Calbick (Burnaby, British Columbia) and Troy Black (Mississauga, Ontario) each had a pair of hits in the game.
Maine falls to 19-25 on the season with the loss and 6-9 in America East play. Stony Brook improves to 27-15 overall, 14-3 in conference action.
The game was scoreless until the top of the sixth inning despite Maine having multiple base runners. Scott Heath (Westbrook, Maine) walked and Calbick followed with a single to right field, moving Heath to second base. Steven Adam (Tecumseh, Ontario) singled down the left field line scoring Heath and giving Maine a 1-0 lead.
Stony Brook, however, tied the game in the bottom of the frame. Kevin Krause doubled to left field and moved to third when Kevin Courtney filed out. He scored when Casey Baker singled to center field.
Stony Brook took the lead with three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning. Krause reached on a fielder's choice and Courtney followed with a single through the left side. Both runners scored when Cole Peragine tripled to center field. Peragine scored the third run of the inning when Baker tripled to right field, giving the Seawolves the 4-1 lead.
Maine rookie pitcher Jeff Gelinas (Saco, Maine) got the start on the mound and was impressive for the Black Bears. He didn't surrender his first hit until the sixth inning. Gelinas went 5.2 innings and allowed one run on two hits. He struck out five batters in the game. Charlie Butler (Marlborough, Massachusetts) replaced Gelinas. He surrendered three runs on three hits while striking out a pair in 2.1 innings. Butler fell to 1-5 with the loss.
Tyler Honahan got the start for Stony Brook. He went 5.2 innings as well and allowed one run on six hits while fanning nine batters. He was replaced by Bryan Tatelman who went 2.1 innings and allowed just two hits to earn the win. He improves to 4-0 on the season. Cameron Stone pitched the ninth inning to record his eighth save of the season.
Maine returns to action on Saturday, May 10 when it hosts Albany for an America East doubleheader. First pitch will be at 3 PM at Mahaney Diamond.

Preheat oven to 450° F. Wash sweet potatoes and poke a few holes in each one with a fork. Rub sweet potatoes with olive oil and place on microwave-safe plate; microwave on high for 8 minutes. Transfer to baking sheet in preheated oven; bake until tender, about 25 to 30 minutes.
While sweet potatoes are baking, heat butter in a saucepan over medium heat until melted. Add flour and stir. When mixture thickens, gradually add milk. Stir until a thick sauce forms. Remove from heat and add 3 ounces blue cheese, salt, cayenne pepper and black pepper and stir to combine. Keep warm.
To serve, slice fully cooked sweet potatoes lengthwise across the top; squeeze ends together to open the sweet potatoes. Pour cheese sauce over top, then garnish with remaining blue cheese and chopped green onion.

The ocular motor system consists of several subsystems, including the vestibular ocular nystagmus saccade system, the pursuit system, the fixation and gaze-holding system and the vergence system. All these subsystems aid the stabilization of the images on the retina during eye and head movements and any kind of disturbance of one of the systems can cause instability of the eyes (e.g. nystagmus) or an inadequate eye movement causing a mismatch between head and eye movement (e.g. bilateral vestibular failure). In both situations, the subjects experience a movement of the world (oscillopsia) which is quite disturbing. New insights into the patho-physiology of some of the ocular motor disorders have helped to establish new treatment options, in particular in downbeat nystagmus, upbeat nystagmus, periodic alternating nystagmus, acquired pendular nystagmus and paroxysmal vestibular episodes/attacks. The discussed patho-physiology of these disorders and the current literature on treatment options are discussed and practical treatment recommendations are given in the paper.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The Santa Clara University women's golf team will contend with Dove Canyon Country Club and a regionally-dominated field of 15 schools Monday and Tuesday, March 26-27 at UC Irvine's 2012 Anteater Invitational.
The Broncos have seen upperclassmen Tamara Surtees (Waikoloa, Hawaii/Hawaii Preparatory Academy) and Balbina Guajardo (Monterrey, Mexico/American School Foundation of Monterrey) become fixtures on tournament leaderboards. Surtees was recently tabbed as an All-West Coast Conference preseason player and Guajardo has turned in five-straight top 15 finishes.
"Tamara and Balbina have both stepped up their games, their hard work is starting to pay off," said second-year Broncos head coach Krystal Kelly. "For Tamara, these are her last few college events, so I think she really wants to go out on top. As for Balbina, we made a putter change in January that mechanically is really helping her. It has resulted in more made putts and more confidence."
Kelly and her team should also get a boost from sophomore Taylor Camany (Salinas, Calif./Salinas), who is expected to make her first appearance of the spring after battling mononucleosis for the past few months.
Not only have the Bronco student-athletes been working hard on their golf games, it's finals week at Santa Clara. Studying and tournament prep have gone hand-in-hand over the past two weeks leading up to the event at UCI.
Last season the team placed three student-athletes on the WCC Conference Honor Roll, including Miki Ueoka (Biochemistry), Taylor Camany (Business) and Brooke Stephens (Business) pictured above.

Stan Getz: Insensatez (How Insensitive)
Stan Getz (tenor sax)
Jazz Samba Encore (Verve V6-8523)
Stan Getz (tenor sax), Luiz Bonfá (guitar), Antonio Carlos Jobim (piano), George Duvivier (bass), Tommy Williams (bass),
Paulo Ferreira, Jose Carlos (drums), Maria Toledo (vocal).
Composed by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes.
Recorded: New York, February 8, 9, 27, 1963
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
This track is the gleaming gem of an otherwise lackluster album. One of Jobim's most recorded compositions, this "Insensatez" has a lugubrious Portuguese vocal by Maria Toledo that is saved by Stan Getz's background commentary. Getz's solo is dynamic, building to a passionate wailing, while Jobim's eloquent piano is simplicity itself. The legend goes that since Jobim's hands were too small to comfortably span an octave, he avoided intricate chording and developed his signature one-fingered style of improvisation. Whatever its origins, this technique makes him the Basie of bossa nova.

According to Monday's NBC Chicago, a Hammond, Ind., police officer, who was placed on administrative leave after a YouTube video surfaced showing potential abuse towards a canine partner, has been cleared of wrong-doing.
The department issued an official release on Monday about the incident, which took place in April. Chief John Doughty stated that the officer acted in accordance with training. However, the same officer is now being provided with additional training in order to prevent a similar incident from happening again.
The scene which was captured by an area resident took place because the German shepherd, who had been given a ball as a reward for a successful find, was reluctant to give it up.
Chief Doughty stated:
All of our dogs have high drives that make them good at what they do,"
"This particular K-9 is reluctant to give up the ball quickly as he savors the reward, and in training this is play time he loves to extend."
The officer in the video can be seen slapping the dog with the leash, and pulling the dog off of the ground, more than once, by his throat. Shortly after the video surfaced, the mayor issued a statement advising the public that the Hammond Police Department does not condone the type of behavior which was observed in the video and he described the officer's actions as "shocking and disturbing."
Following the investigation, however, the department determined that the dog was not abused.

Easy to drink and I can continue to take this for daily supplemental meal. I usually take each half a cup for morning time and night time. Recovery is nice but this is not great work for adding wight. some part is slower absorption that you can feel. I recommend you to take Bcaa between meals for faster recovery process.

Abalone Chicken Congee
Abalone Chicken Congee Recipe
This homely and luxurious bowl of abalone chicken congee is full of umami sweetness! For convenience, place ikan bilis in a disposable soup pouch and discard after cooking.
Serves: 4
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 50 mins
- 8 dried scallops (conpoy/干贝)
- 2 chicken legs/thighs (skin removed) may also use 400 grams of chicken breast
- 1000 + 1200 ml water
- 1 cup rice
- 1 can abalone sliced thinly; reserve the abalone broth from the can
- 8 red dates
- 2 carrots peeled & cut to small chunks
- 2 tbsp ikan bilis (dried anchovies/江鱼仔) for convenience, place them in a disposable soup pouch
- coriander for garnishing
- dashes of white pepper to taste
- Rinse dried scallops and soak them in a small bowl of hot water until softened. Shred the scallops and reserve the soaking water.
- Boil chicken in 1000ml of water for 20 minutes. Take out the chicken and shred when cool enough to handle. Warm the abalone slices for 1 minute in the chicken broth using a slotted ladle. Strain the chicken broth. Set aside.
- Rinse rice until water runs clear, then add washed rice to a soup pot with the shredded scallops, red dates, carrots, ikan bilis and 1200ml of water.
- Bring to a boil. Leave the lid partially open and reduce heat to a simmer. Stir the bottom of the pot every now and then to prevent the rice from sticking to the base. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice turns to porridge.
- Add the scallops soaking water, abalone broth and chicken broth. Continue simmering for 10-15 minutes, until the porridge reaches a congee consistency. Top up with more chicken stock or hot water whenever needed.
- Ladle congee to serving bowls and top with abalone slices, shredded chicken, white pepper and coriander leaves.

What a beautiful congee! I've never tasted abalone and would love to. It sounds great here as does the broth.
would this work without the abalone? I really dislike the taste of it. What can I use to replace the abalone broth then?

Inception Character Poster Gallery
In Christopher Nolan's Inception, Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Dom Cobb, a skilled thief who is the absolute best in the dangerous art of extraction, stealing valuable secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. One last job could give him his life back but only if he can accomplish the impossible – inception. Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea but to plant one. View character posters from the film…

Two men have been arrested and stand accused of terrorizing businesses in Hempstead for nearly six months by allegedly committing more than 10 robberies and police said many were at gunpoint, according to a Feb. 6 police news release.
Gerard Brown, 26, of Roosevelt, and Nicholas McNeil, 26, of Hempstead, are each charged with 10 counts of first-degree robbery after they were arrested Tuesday night by Nassau County Police Robbery Squad detectives, Third Squad detectives and Hempstead police officers.
The armed robberies, law enforcement officials said, occurred since September 2013 and the latest reported incident was earlier this week. The men are accused of committing some of the robberies together, but detectives said they also both struck alone and often repeatedly hit the same businesses.
One of those targeted businesses, a Dunkin' Donuts on Peninsula Boulevard, was targeted three times in the spree. Police said the men robbed the store together on Oct. 22 and allege McNeil returned on Nov. 29 to commit another robbery, while Brown came back on Dec. 4 to rob them again.
A nearby Sunoco gas station and a local Deli were also repeat targets, cops said. The men allegedly robbed a gas station attendant at gunpoint at a station on Peninsula Boulevard on Sept. 23 and again on Nov. 19. They also allegedly hit the Village Express Deli on South Franklin Street on Oct. 24, Jan. 23 and Feb. 3.
Detectives allege the men also committed robberies at a Mobil gas station on Peninsula Boulevard on Nov. 12, a GameStop location on Fulton Avenue on Dec. 2, and a Citgo gas station along Baldwin Road on Dec. 9.
In every incident, they fled with an unknown amount of cash, cops said. In some of the cases, according to police, the duo would also take the victim's cell phone.
McNeil faced a judge Wednesday at First District Court in Hempstead and was ordered held without bail. Brown is awaiting arraignment Thursday morning.

Painting Precautions
From Dean Dowd on July 07, 2008 in Painting
Adding fresh paint to our homes is one of the easiest and most common renovations we make as homeowners. Because of this, even the most novice at doing home repairs might be more inclined to tackle a painting project. Unfortunately, there are a few precautions you should be aware of before enthusiastically beginning.
Be sure you always have proper ventilation. Most paints, especially oil-based paints, primers, and paint thinners, all contain harmful chemicals, or VOCs. If you are using a paint sprayer, be sure to wear a ventilator. Always work in a well-ventilated area, and keep pets and children away from the area. If working outside, be sure there isn't a wind that can blow unwanted fumes at you. Wear protective clothing to keep as much of the material as possible off of your skin.
Be careful when scraping or removing paint, especially if the possibility of lead-based paint exists. Have your paint tested by a lab before you begin removal to ensure no lead exists. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns against anyone attempting a do-it-yourself removal of lead paint. All of the traditional methods of paint removal are bound to stir up the lead dust, and it will create a dangerous situation for both you and anyone in the immediate area. If your paint tests positive for lead, you should definitely request the assistance of a professional painting contractor trained in hazardous material removal.
Finally, always be careful when using ladders and scaffolding. Be sure to keep paint within the recommended temperatures, and only paint in good weather. Request free house painting estimates from licensed contractors in your area to assist you with your painting project.

It may not be flashy, but we're not starting the rainy season without a Leighton Bubble Umbrella ($21). It's designed to keep you dry, even when it's raining in sheets. Windy out? No prob! It takes an especially rough gust to turn this sucker inside out, in which case you should be sticking indoors anyway. But if you happen to be caught out, we don't advise bringing anything less sturdy than this heavy-duty umbrella!

The cost of a unit of solar energy appears to be following Moore's Law with solar costs dropping exponentially from $22 a watt in 1980 to $1.40 a watt today. But this positive price development for the consumer could prove to be a temporary set back for the solar industry.
Moore's Law, originally written to explain the advancement of computing hardware, predicts that the efficiency of technology in relation to price will double about every two years. If solar tech continues it's current pattern it will cross $0.12 per kilowatt hour, the current average retail price of electricity, in 2020. In 2030 solar electricity will likely cost half the price of coal power. This price decrease is due to manufacturers learning to fabricate solar for less and the increase in solar cell efficiency (with 20% to 41% efficiency today – an unheard of rate 30 years ago).
Obviously, the plummeting price of solar is good news both for consumers as well as the environment. The cost of solar panel installation dropped 20%, which explains why solar panel installation continues to grow by 15% per year. The average cost of a solar array is now $30,000 before the 30% federal tax credit. Solar is also the most readily available and renewable energy source. "In 88 minutes, the sun provides 470 exajoules of energy, as much energy as humanity consumes in a year."
But unfortunately, for the solar industry, there is Moore's Second Law. The Second Law states, "As the cost of… power to the consumer falls, the cost for producers to fulfill Moore's law follows an opposite trend: R&D, manufacturing, and test costs increase steadily with each new generation…" More and more manufacturers jump on the low production cost bandwagon, increasing competition, and driving down profit margins. In just the last six weeks manufacturers reduced solar panel prices by 15 percent, but prices are falling faster than manufacturing costs.
One light at the end of the tunnel for manufacturers is the emerging solar industry in India. Export-Import Bank in the U.S. just approved a $16 million loan to India's Azure Power Rajasthan to construct a 5-MW project using the First Solar's (a U.S. based company) panels.

Update 2/16/14: Rescued!!
An adorable, four-month-old mastiff mix puppy named "Tina," has been held at the Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control facility in Baldwin Park, Calif., since Jan. 21.
Tina is an unfortunate "frequent visitor" to this facility...Tina was impounded and returned to the same animal control just 11 days after her owner reclaimed her in mid-January.
According to those individuals who have met this pup, she is terrified in the facility and she sits on her bed trembling in fear.
Tina does not appear to be well socialized and being impounded at the animal control is not helping her demeanor.
Please take a moment to network on behalf of this beautiful pup - she needs to be in the care of a responsible, loving guardian who will keep her safe and secure.

On the front page of eMusic, today's featured "eMusic dozen" (in which eMusic staff pick a theme and choose a dozen albums under that theme that are available for download, complete with descriptions of each) spotlights ReR Megacorp. Amidst the expected stuff like Henry Cow and Faust, there is plenty of stuff that I'm not really familiar with but may now end up checking out.

UNITED NATIONS – During an emergency Security Council meeting about the Malaysia airliner that was struck down on Thursday, Samantha Power, the United Nations ambassador said on Friday there is "credible evidence" that Russia destroyed the Malaysia Air Lines Boeing 777-200 that killed 298 people.
"We assess Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 carrying these 298 people from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was likely downed by a surface-to-air missile, an SA-11, operated from a separatist-held location in eastern Ukraine," Power said. "Russia must stop destabilizing Ukraine. Russia can end this war. Russia must end this war."
Ukrainian intelligence is pointing to evidence concerning Igor Bezler, a pro-Russian militia leader who was in the eastern town of Gorlovka at the time the Malaysia plane was struck down. During an intercepted phone call by Ukraine, it said his men told him they had "shot down a plane."
The New York Times reported there has been several Ukrainian militiamen assassinations under Bezler's command in the town of Volnovakha a few weeks ago.
Russian President Vladimir Putin opened a meeting with his top economic advisers on Thursday with a comment concerning the crash of the Malaysian airliner implicitly blaming Ukraine's government.
The Associated took a remark from the Kremlin website translating Putin's remarks. "In this regard, I want to note that this tragedy would not have happened if there were peace on this land, if the military actions had not been renewed in southeast Ukraine. And, certainly, the state over whose territory this occurred bears responsibility for this awful tragedy," Putin said.
A self-proclaimed defense minister of the Donetsk People's Republic, Igor Girkin wrote on his Facebook page at VK.com, "We did warn you – do not fly in our sky."
President Barack Obama said the death of the 298 passengers is "an outrage of unspeakable proportions" saying "we know at least one American citizen" was killed. Obama said the name of the victim from the United States is Quinn Lucas Schansman.
He said during a statement from the White House on Friday that he also agrees with the United Nations that the Malaysia Airlines jetliner was shot down by a surface-to-air missile from an area inside the Ukraine."We are going to make sure the truth is out," Mr. Obama said, referring to what he described as a trove of misinformation that has already shrouded the plane crash.
The downing of the Malaysia plane came one day after President Obama announced there would be broader economic sanctions against Russia its continued violence and political moves in Ukraine.
"This was a global tragedy. An Asian airliner was destroyed in European skies, filled with citizens from many countries, so there has to be a credible international investigation into what happened," Obama said in a statement delivered from the White House Friday. "Russia, pro-Russian separatists and Ukraine must adhere to an immediate cease-fire. Evidence must not be tampered with."

End-to-End Tracing of Ajax Applications Using DTrace
By woodjr on Jul 23, 2007
There are lots of options for tracing web applications. But suppose you need a holistic view, such as a combined trace of the server-side Java and client-side JavaScript in an Ajax app. You might expect your options to drop to zero. Well, they don't.
DTrace can handle it. The Mozilla DTrace Project provides DTrace probes for Firefox's JavaScript engine, and recent versions of the JVM have built-in probes. Amit's latest article shows how to put these together to trace an Ajax application. It produces a true end-to-end picture, with traces flowing across the client/server boundary.
