Thursday afternoon, DHS officially granted the state access. The database will help the state identify non-US citizens who are illegally registered to vote in Florida.
Chris Cate, a spokesman with the Florida Division of Elections says the state wants to begin its new voter purge as soon as possible.
"We know there is a General Election coming up very soon, so we know we have to work promptly. But we absolutely are going to be very thorough in this process. Tonight we are actually going to being training employees to use this new system," said Cate.
The state hopes to have identified some illegally registered voters by early next week. The names of those offenders will be sent to county supervisors of elections. It will be up to the supervisors to remove the non-citizens from the voting roles.

Liaw is tied for 10th place with a two-under 142
TUCSON, Ariz. ?- The University of Arizona men's golf team posted a six-over-par total of 582 Monday to stand in seventh place after two rounds of the CordeValle Collegiate in San Martin, Calif.
Arizona carded totals of 292 (+4) and 290 (+2) over the 36 holes Monday and the squad's 582 total (+6) put the team in seventh place. The Wildcats are 17 strokes off the pace set by tournament-leader UCLA, who posted an 11-under 565. Northwestern (568), Arkansas (575), Texas (579) and California (579) round out the top five places in the field of 16.
Leading the way for Arizona was junior Henry Liaw, who tallied a two-under 142 and is in a six-way tie for 10th place. Liaw collected an eagle and birdie on his last two holes of the second round to move to two-under. This is Liaw's lowest 36-hole total in four events this season. Teammate Josh Esler is tied for 16th place after carding an even-par 72 in both rounds Monday.
Sophomores Travis Esway and Trey Denton find themselves one stroke apart on the leader board. Esway shot a four-over 148 and is tied for 37th place, while Denton tallied a five-over 149 and is tied for 41st place.

Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...

Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
ThromboGenics signed a 10-year supply agreement with MSD Biologics, part of the Merck BioManufacturing Network for the production of microplasmin. ThromboGenics anticipates that this deal will meet its long-term commercial needs for bulk drug substance.
Microplasmin, which is ThromboGenics' lead drug candidate, recently completed two successful Phase III trials in patients with vitreomacular adhesion (VMA). ThromboGenics is targeting for BLA and MAA submissions by mid 2011.
MSD Biologics, a contract manufacturing organization with specific expertise in microbial-derived biologics, has been producing microplasmin for ThromboGenics since 2007. It provided the clinical bulk substance for ThromboGenics' Phase III program, which recruited over 650 patients in the U.S. and Europe.
MSD Biologics will produce microplasmin at its Billingham, U.K., facility, which has been approved for commercial production by both the FDA and the EMEA. Microplasmin is a truncated form of the natural human protein plasmin. ThromboGenics has reportedly created the first stabilized and readily manufactured form of this molecule.

Dorney Park Reunion & HoF Ceremony Held
ALLENTOWN, Pa. – The fourth annual Dorney Park Speedway Reunion/Hall of Fame ceremony held Sunday at the America on Wheels Museum was perhaps one of the most well attended to date as new to this year's show was a first ever Mahoning Valley Speedway reunion/HoF induction.
Put together by local racing historians Bob and Dale Snyder, it was fitting to include Mahoning Valley Speedway as part of the day's activities as the paved quarter mile oval in Lehighton has become the legacy of Dorney Park after its closing in 1986. It was the following year that Mahoning then began operations after being ceased for a number of years. The racing has since lived on and thrives under the promotion of Floyd Santee.
The 2013 HoF induction was a who's who of Dorney and Mahoning stars and each had well-earned their entry into the respective Halls.
For the Dorney Park segment the first to be added was popular Jim Kemmerer. "Big Jim" as he was best known won 23 features at the Park and was always a weekly threat for reaching the checkered flag first. Accepting on his behalf was his widow Janice who spoke of Jim's love for the sport and the closeness with everyone he enjoyed during his career at the famed fifth-mile.
Late Model standout Rick McNeal was up next. A multi-time champion of the Late Models, McNeal was part of a fierce group of full fender racers that boasted some of the highest car counts at the time of his driving that made qualifying quite intense let alone racing in the feature. McNeal proved his worth as one of the all-time best and his championships speak volumes of a stellar career.
Before rising to fame as a five-time NASCAR Whelen Modified Tour nation champion, Tony Hirschman cut his eye teeth racing Late Models at Dorney Park which served as the springboard to his illustrious career. He also raced at Mahoning Valley where he collected his first career win in 1976. His time behind the wheel has since been well documented by his countless wins and championships. His entry as one of the 50 best Modified drivers of all time stems from his humble beginnings at Dorney Park.
Hirschman's son, Matt, has carried on the racing name and winning ways of his talented father, becoming a household name in the world of asphalt Modifieds throughout the Northeast.
Last of the Dorney Park admissions was Roger Heffelfinger Sr. As a gutsy, tough-as-nails racer, Heffelfinger won for virtually every car owner he ran for and won all of the big races Dorney had to offer and on more than one occasion. His career spanned four decades where he amassed more than 50 feature wins and multiple championships. Heffelfinger also went on to win a championship at Mahoning Valley. His son, Roger Jr., was equally as good, winning at Dorney, then Mahoning where he would garner a championship as well as Evergreen Raceway.
In 2011 Heffelfinger's grandson, Austin Kochenash, continued the family legacy when he won the Late Model title at Mahoning and entered in a rare achievement of becoming a third generation to attain a track title there.
As mentioned when Dorney Park ceased operations at the end of the 1986 season, fans and racers where left searching for a place to watch weekly asphalt racing. Enter Ward and Dottie Crozier who had the insight to seek out a facility and luckily Mahoning Valley, which had been dormant, was available. There tireless work and dedication to bring life back to the track paid off as the transition from Dorney to Mahoning became an amazing success.
It was fitting that they would become the first official inductees into the Mahoning Valley Speedway Hall of Fame.
One of the true driving stars of that '80s was George Wambold. He had previous been inducted into Dorney's HoF and when Mahoning fired back into action Wambold stormed to the top of the wins and championship charts. For nearly two decades he held the all-time career Modified wins record. His installment is well justified from his outstanding driving career.
The final member called into the spotlight as Lorin Arthofer Sr. An amazing individual who raced hard yet showed unequivocal amounts of respect towards his fellow racers. Of his many wins, none was more popular than a 1989 Race of Champions Tour victory over George Kent which gained him a guaranteed starting birth to that year's RoC at Pocono Raceway.
His sons, Jason, Darin and Lorin II followed successfully in his tire tracks and with daughter-in-law Kristy, the Arthofer's are considered Mahoning's first family of racing. Together they are credited with in excess of over 100 feature wins and numerous division championships. His granddaughters, Peyton and Avery, race quarter midgets while under the watchful tutelage of their famous granddad.

How are you enjoying the projects so far? Are you getting as excited as I am for Quilt Blocks to be in stores?
Today we are really excited to welcome Jacey to the blog. She's a wonderfully talented sewist and quilter with huge personality. If you don't follow her blog already make sure you stop by today where she'll be sharing a tutorial for making the really handy iPad case pictured in this post.
I'm Jacey of Jaceycraft. I'm so excited to contribute to Fat Quarterly. I instantly loved the Quilt Blocks fabrics, and was inspired to use them in a quick iPad case. I'm sharing a tutorial for it today, and I'm so appreciative for the opportunity!
Many thanks to Jacey for today's post. Don't forget to stop by her blog for the tutorial and be sure to bookmark it for next time you need a cute gift! I think it'd make a great project bag for hand sewing projects, or embroidery too. Or as a handy 'stuff' pouch for inside your purse. I lose stuff all the time in the cavernous bottoms of my bags, if I don't have a pouch of some kind for my keys, chap stick and hand cream I'd never find them!

The site for the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial in Memorial Park was consecrated on April 27, 2014 with a blessing performed by Hovnan Derderian, Archbishop of the Western Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and Archbishop Moushegh Mardirossian of the Western Prelacy of the Armenian Apostolic Church.
The memorial, approved by the Pasadena City Council, will commemorate the 1.5 million men, women and children who died over a three-year period beginning in 1915 and to condemn all crimes against humanity. It will be completed in April, 2015, to mark the centennial of the beginning of the genocide.
In a related story, the American Armenian Rose Float Association, Inc. (AARFA) is sponsoring a 2015 Rose Parade float to celebrate American Armenians and their contributions to the nation, and to honor the 100th anniversary of the only Armenian-American Rose Parade Grand Marshal, M.S. Pashgian.
In a press release on Thursday, the Pasadena Armenian Genocide Memorial Committee said more than 700 people attended the ground blessing ceremony, federal, state and local elected officials and dignitaries from community organizations, churches and schools.
The colors were presented by HMEM Azadamard Chapter and U.S. District Court Judge Dickran M. Tevrizian (Ret.) served as Master of Ceremonies. Student speakers included Alex Berberian, a senior at Pasadena High School, and Daniel Mouradian, a freshman at AGBU High School.
Music was performed by Sahag Mesrob Armenian Christian School in Altadena and the Armenian General Benevolent Union High School in Pasadena, and poems were recited by Tagoui Arzoumanian and Eric Chilingazyan.

About This Quilt Piece
OK, mine is the easy one. The simplicity of the square includes everyone. This statement won't be so fancy because my square is the crayon box with the different colors. Several of the crayons have spilled out into the "world" to share their uniqueness, and several are still in the box, still thinking about it. I left the boxed ones black and white. Aren't they boring? I made the colors of the box fade in gradually from white, in the bottom right corner, to dark gold in the top left to show "inclusivity". I used gradient embroidery thread to highlight 3 words in the quote by Maya Angelou. I think those 3 words validate my square and its relationship to the whole quilt.
When I first saw all the squares sewn together, I thought WOW, every single one is different! Imagine that! What diversity in the quilt itself! When I was a first grader in 1964, growing up in the South, I remember finding my first best friend. She had such beautiful, dark brown skin. To me, she wasn't black, or African American, or any other label. She was just Pat, Patrice Harris, still my BFF on FB! This was a period of racial unrest in the South. She never came over to my house and I never went to hers. I don't know why. Just a crazy unspoken rule the grown-ups had, I guess. Pat is colorful and fun. I am colorful and fun and WASP. When we parted at the end of the year, we traded crayons to remember each other. Mine was big, fat and first-grader-like and purple and I still have it.

A precious moment at 1st Prez
A big day at 1st Presbyterian Church of Midland, Texas a couple weeks back … THE day, really … not just for Christians, but for all people … Easter Day, Resurrection Sunday, Empty Tomb Day, whatever.
It was also a day of added significance for me, in a small personal way … it's the one time I have the courage to go up front and sing in public. As I have noted before, little remains of the fine tenor voice I carried into high school. If maturity had replaced it with an equally fine baritone, I wouldn't have minded so much … but, alas, such was not the case. I still sing in public, but only that one time each year, and in the particular circumstances we have at 1st Prez that day … when I am surrounded by a large choir, accompanied by chamber orchestra and organ, and singing for a packed house of people feeling more than the usual level of Christian charity and forgiveness.

tify>The film opens with the
heroine standing on the terrace of a high-rise building, her back to
the camera. As the camera moves up and closes in on her, she turns
towards it with a toss of her long silky hair-shampoo-ad style, the

Keeping ACS Strong
It has been a pleasure to represent you as a Director-at-Large for the past six years. As I run for re-election for a term starting in 2017, it continues to be a challenging time for ACS, its members and their employers. Important challenges include funding for R&D and STEM education, unemployment or underemployment for members (especially new graduates), globalization, open access, public image challenges, and more. In a world filled with uncertainty, where the only constant is change and new challenges, the ACS Board must ensure that our Society is strong and able to provide the best possible service to members and the chemical enterprise. It's a big challenge that requires experience, wisdom and constant attention!
To provide effective leadership in the face of current and future challenges, Board members need…
- Deep knowledge of the Society and how it works
- Keen understanding of the issues affecting the chemical enterprise
- Understanding of diverse member needs
In addition, Board members need to have consistently demonstrated leadership qualities of authenticity, integrity, openness and accountability in their ACS work. Highly effective Board members also need to be excellent team players, who are great at listening and collaborating with others.
Please consider my qualifications and record as Director-at-Large vs. criteria important to you. If you don't know me, I encourage you to talk with your fellow Councilors and other ACS leaders with whom I've worked. To read my candidate statement, click the link at the top of this page, or consult the Sept. 12 issue of C&EN. To communicate with me personally, please click here.
Thanks to those who placed their trust in me as Director-at-Large these past six years. After review, I hope you will choose to enthusiastically cast one of your two Director-at-Large votes for me. I would appreciate your vote.
If elected, I will work hard with other Board members and with you to ensure we continue "improving people's lives through the transforming power of chemistry".
I have worked hard to represent your interests during the past three years, and have posted quarterly reports of my activities on the web. To promote openness and accountability, I will continue the practice of reporting to you quarterly, as well as posting monthly news updates at: Director-at-Large website. I will also retain the "Contact Me" feature which a number of Councilors have used to directly communicate with me during this term.
Thank you for your consideration!

Al Bright wants to retire from the sweets life.
The longtime owner of the Spudnuts Shop at 312 S. McMasters St. has put the business up for sale.
That's an unsettling prospect for regular customers who are quite settled in their morning coffee klatch routine.
"Ol' Al's only been here 25 years," said Charlie Barber. "We're a little bit down, because we won't have a place to go have coffee. ... Not too many guys will put up with all the lies we tell."
Barber, Paul Kiihn and a band of cohorts camp at Spudnuts most mornings, handing Bright their dollars and helping themselves to doughnuts and coffee refills.
"We have to pay up front," Barber said.
"And we have to pay double to help ourselves," Kiihn said.
"But they get to pick the biggest ones (doughnuts) and the prettiest ones," Bright shot back.
Clocking in at 2:30 a.m. six days a week for 25 years as Spudnuts owner and another baker's dozen before that as an employee has worn him out, Bright said.
One of his regulars knows the drill.
Manny Melotakis owned the business from 1970 to 1984. Now, he just owns the store property.
"We're trying to sell them both," Melotakis said.
Melotakis and Bright exchanged glances when asked about how the business has changed over the years.
"A doughnut had a hole in it then, and it's still got a hole in it now," Melotakis said.
If Bright recognizes a car in the drive-up, he fills a sack with doughnuts before even cracking the window.
"I know most everybody's order," he said.
But, while Bright has plans to hang up his apron, "if it don't happen, it don't happen," he said. "I'll still be here."
And he might be there even if he does sell the store.
"If I got somebody (a buyer), I could slow down, work a day or two for them."

Freshman running back Scottie Meyer had his breakout game of the season rushing for 190 yards with one touchdown. Meyer also caught a 10-yard touchdown pass late in the second quarter.
Quarterback Jake Morse was 13-for-20 with two touchdowns and one interception.
Defense was the story though. The Baker defense had not recorded a shutout since a 45-0 win over Culver-Stockton College during the 2009 season. That all changed on Saturday as the Baker defense held the Eagles to just 18 minutes of possession.
Seniors Colton Miller, Calvin Pearce and Matt Brock led the way each recording seven tackles apiece. Miller recorded his third interception in two games.
Baker (7-3 HAAC, 7-4 overall) will have high hopes heading into 2011. With a season-opening showdown with Ottawa looming nearly 10 months away, the Wildcats will begin preparing tomorrow.

I was just wondering if the player will be able to defend themselves or be able to fight, or if it will just be the robots fighting each other.
I know Lee talked about the game not being a twitch shooter, but I was wondering what would happen if the player's robots are all defeated what would happen? Would the player just have to run around the map until they're killed, would the game automatically be over, or could the player grab a twig and charge the enemy robots as they're quickly obliterated? I know you need a certain amount of energy to create the robots so I was wondering what would happen if you're out of energy and your own robots are all dead. I don't know if that makes any sense, probably not.
Maybe its already been talked about and I've missed it, or maybe it hasn't been figured out exactly what would happen yet. Just wondering.

Walrond Park is a 48-acre publically-owned park facility operated by the Roanoke County Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism. A key feature in the park is a spring-fed pond that is home to local songbirds and migratory water fowl such as geese and ducks. Downstream from the pond is an approximately 3.5-acre wetland area that is home to diversity of plant and animal life. During migration, rusty blackbirds, Lincoln sparrows and swamp sparrow can be seen. The Department has constructed a 2/3-mile long stone-surface loop trail around the pond and wetland, including a 200 linear foot raised boardwalk trail that extends into the central area of the wetland. The raised boardwalk trail terminates in a 12'x16' wildlife viewing platform that is envisioned to provide an up-close glimpse into the flora and fauna of the wetland. Cooper's hawks and Great Blue Herons have been observed hunting in this wetland.
Return to US 11 and turn right (South) toward Hollins. Follow US 11 South 1.2 miles to Plantation Road/SR 115. Turn right onto Plantation Road and follow for approximately 0.5 miles and turn left on Walrond Drive (there will be a small sign along the road near the turn that says Walrond Park). Park is 1/4 mile down the road.

Cant think of any other unpaid Profession in NZ that has has so much blow torching in the last few years.
The Real Estate Agents Authority is tightening up its code of conduct for real estate agents.
From April 8 next year, the code will require agents to explain to clients when an agency agreement ends; recommend to all parties that they get legal advice before signing agency or sale and purchase agreements and explain to a prospective client that how they choose to sell their property can impact on the benefits the agent receives.
And a new rule is designed to help protect sellers from the risk of paying two commissions and new rules for buyers' agents.
Amendments include changing the requirements for disclosure of defects to have a more consistent test on whether agents should know about a hidden or underlying defect clarifying the need for evidence or expert advice when seeking confirmation from a client that there are no hidden or underlying defects; and ensuring agencies not only have in-house complaints procedures but that these are kept up to date.
Real Estate Agents Authority chief executive Kevin Lampen-Smith said the current code of conduct was working well. "However, after three years, it is time for it to be updated so that it continues to protect buyers and sellers and improve standards in the real estate industry."
The Professional Conduct and Client Care Practice Rules (code of conduct) set the minimum standards required of agents and are used as a reference point for discipline. They govern 12,500 real estate agents. "The new code has been developed in consultation with the industry, consumers and the wider public," Mr Lampen-Smith said.
"These are positive changes for both the industry and consumers. The new code of conduct, along with continuing education, helps ensure a professional industry and informed buyers and sellers. We are excited to be taking this next step in improving industry standards."

New Rule 10.5 is 'Before an agency agreement is signed, you (the agent) must explain to the prospective client (the vendor) that how they chose to sell their property can impact on the benefits you (the agent) receive." Can someone tell me what the hell does that mean?

The Jazz Age comes to the stage at OCT with The Great Gatsby, February 28-March 22
The Jazz Age, a term coined by Fitzgerald, followed close on the heels of the Gilded Age, a term coined by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner; the gold leaf is peeling away, and Fitzgerald's novel reveals much of the cheaper materials under the bright but tarnishing surface. Nick, the narrator, is a writer - or a bond man, as in stocks and bonds, though he never does any of that through the course of the novel - who encounters the legend of Gatsby before he encounters the man. Relationships, secrets, passions worthy of any modern soap opera unfold, or are peeled back like the layers of an onion, ultimately revealing a hollow and empty core. Fitzgerald juggles symbols and symbolism like a later master of the technique, Tennessee Williams - the all-seeing eyes on the billboard, the green light across the harbor of yearning and jealousy, the gulf of the harbor itself, etc. - details which help to lift the work out of the realm of "mere" soap opera and melodrama. In part because of the successful capture of a post WWI mood of disillusionment (Fitzgerald had enlisted, but the war ended before he saw any "action"), among other threads of art and skill, The Great Gatsby is on the short list for "the great American novel." Other novels often mentioned for honors include Huckleberry Finn, Gone With the Wind, The Grapes of Wrath, To Kill a Mockingbird, and others. (Why didn't Look Homeward, Angel make the wiki list? idk.)
The Great Gatsby is presented on Oregon Contemporary Theater's stage in the format of Simon Levy's script (who also adapted Tender is the Night and The Last Tycoon for the stage). Elizabeth Helman (M.A. and Ph.D. in theater from University of Oregon) makes her OCT directing debut with this production. The cast includes Andrew Beck as Jay Gatsby, Steve Coatsworth as Nick Carraway, Shannon Coltrane as Daisy Buchanan, Tony Stirpe as Tom Buchanan, Katie Worley as Jordan Baker, as well as Blake Beardsley, Sarah Clausen, Amira Fahoum, Christopher McVay, and Tom Wilson.
Tickets are available online and at the box office of Oregon Contemporary Theater.

More: Have you ever had to fire a cheerleader?
KF: Sure. Our cheerleaders are on a one-year contract. When we are at the audition and we know we have had an issue with someone being late, receiving bad feedback on appearances or just not seeming to be a team player, we know we have to address those staffing changes.
More: Because the stakes are so high and there is fierce competition to earn a spot on the squad, do you have to break up a lot of catfights?
KF: Not really. These girls go through a grueling audition process, so by the end, they are really supportive of each other. It is like being in boot camp together. These girls are fighting to survive and make it.
More: Are there rules in terms of dating the players?
KF: Yes, there are rules. They are not allowed to fraternize with the players.
More: Are men allowed to audition?
KF: Men have applied. Male athletes are now on the Baltimore team. I guess it depends on the style of dance, the uniform and if they make it through the audition process. We have a panel of 13 judges and it really comes down to someone's scores. We recently introduced a hip-hop dance team called Dallas Cowboys Rhythm & Blue Dancers. It is cast with both male and female dancers.
More: Are there any age restrictions?
KF: Every year we have women in their forties try out. We had a 37-year-old mother of four try out and make it. She cheered for us for two years.
More: So women of all ages are encouraged to apply?
KF: We promote diversity in many areas.

Some examples of the
many Christmas songs we have borrowed from the Germans are
both of which were originally written in German. The tunes of many other German Christmas songs are familiar to Americans.
We have also copied
some, but not all parts, of their other traditions. In both countries
we put up Christmas trees, we sing carols, and exchange gifts with our
families and friends. The decorating of Christmas trees is also a
German tradition. In Germany they put candles on their trees to light
them instead of using electric lights. They also put wreaths with
candles on their heads for Santa Lucia Eve and Day (December
12th/13th), which is a custom Americans do not generally observe.
In Germany, many
children receive Advent calendars, which begin on December 1st, and
have surprises behind a door for each day up to the 25th. December 6th
is Sankt Nikolaus Day, when a man dressed like Santa Claus reads from
his book of good and bad deeds, and gives the good children candies. In
Berchtesgaden, he is accompanied by several henchmen (known as Krampus), who are there to take care of the bad children (and
beat anyone they like with switches). They wear large furry costumes,
with cowbells to warn of their arrival. All across the country,
children set out their shoes that night, and parents put candies and
trinkets in them for the next morning.
Celebrating the twelve days of Christmas comes from Germany, although celebrating Christmas over a twelve day period is uncommon in the United States. These twelve days of Christmas span from Christmas day to January 6th, Epiphany. Each day, everyone gives small gifts (lords-a-leapin', partridges in pear trees, etc.).
Our celebration is
similar, because we put out stockings on Christmas Eve for Santa to
fill, and give gifts on Christmas. We also remember the Christmas
season with Advent calenders. Fortunately or unfortunately, we do not
derive any aerobic benefit from being chased by Krampus.

School Kids Might Get Swine Flu Shots
Swine flu has everyone freaked! I guess the news that piggy flu hit all 50 states and was declared the first pandemic of the 21st century scared people silly. That's why some officials at the U.S. Health and Human Services Department envision a scenario where vaccinating kids in school is logical. What a pay day for drug companies! Here are Dr. Fuhrman's thoughts on this:
We don't know yet if this swine flu is really a significant risk enough to our country and the world to generate and distribute a vaccine for it in this time frame. It may even be gone by then.
But for sure, it has generated a great marketing opportunity for the drug companies and vaccine manufacturers and it is likely that as large numbers of children and adults become vaccinated, the people harmed from the inoculations will likely be greater than those harmed by the flu.
We have to wait and see how virulent and potentially dangerous this turns out to be. For now, it has not developed into anything that warrants such a dramatic intervention.

My boyfriend is addicted to heroin please help!
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I have been on and off with my boyfriend for almost 9 years, about 8 months ago he took up using heroin which I just found out about at the very end of February, I don't know how he hid it from me but he did. I took him to see a doctor and they started him on suboxone, which worked for nearly a month, we had a fight and he relapsed, he just went to see another doctor to get help again but he hasn't done a good job of staying clean this time. At 3 AM this morning he woke up breathing heavy and he left at 3:00 am to go back to his house which is unusual because he always stays with me and the kids. I love him but I can't take the lies and hurt from him anymore. I love him and want to be happy with him but how do I help him to realize? I know he needs to realize on his own but is there anything I can do? I do not want to enable him to do heroin, I want him to stop. Help me, please...he's tearing my life apart, I've never used drugs or alcohol.

addiction is an illness the same as cancer. YOU CAN"T DO ANYTHING to make the person change or stop. They must do that with the help of their Higher power. Unfortunatley it is a illness or relapse. They relapse sometime many times before they get it right. Sometimes they never get it right. You ned to make choices for yourself and your life. Remember it only gets worse if they do not want to stop. Its a pregressive illness. I wish you much luck and suggest you go to naranone or alanone meetings they do help.

i had no idea my fiance was using and it kills me now. we have a son and i don't know what to do either. he has lied to me about everything and it does hurt. sometimes i get so worried that i get sick. i feel that i want to hold onto us, but he has to make the change. unfortunetly no matter what you say you can't just hit a switch in his head and think he will get better. it will hurt to wonder what hes doin, or were he is. but at the same time it may be easier to leave and not have the worry.

my boyfriend is addicted to heroine as well. right now he is detoxing at his dad's house, and i'm not allowed to be there until the detox is done. i can really relate to you on so many different levels though.
really, there is no way to help him realize that heroine is ruining his life, and yours. i know that is a horrible thing to hear... trust me, i know because that's all i've been hearing from everyone. the only thing you can really do is love him... and either let him know that you are going to be there for him... or that you will leave him if he doesn't stop. keep in mind that when you talk to him about his usage... you are dealing with an addict. and addiction is a disease. he needs to get into some sort of inpatient rebhab place, but in order to do that, he has to be sick of doing heroine. he has to go there because he wants to... not because you want him to. and i know how bad it hurts to hear that. maybe try going to some NA meetings with him... or therapy or something. get to the root of the problem: why did he start using heroine? once you figure that out, you can start from there. just remember that an addiction is something you deal with for the rest of your life. and it's hard, not only for the addict, but for the loved ones as well.
something that i read in an NA book, has helped me through what i'm going through with my boyfriend. it's meant for addicts, but it helps for all sorts of problems. try making a list of "Just For Today" tasks. for example...
JUST FOR TODAY i'm going to try to find a way to help my boyfriend, instead of dwelling on the fact that he won't quit.
JUST FOR TODAY i'm going to focus on me and my kids and the well-being for my family.
JUST FOR TODAY i'm not going to cry or be upset over his addiction.
JUST FOR TODAY i will put this problem in God's hands.
JUST FOR TODAY everything will be okay.
the reason behind the "Just For Today" tasks is that you set a daily goal and you stick by it. if you think about never crying or being upset over his addiction for the rest of your life... it will be too overwhelming. so you start off small... and tell yourself that maybe tomorrow you will worry about it and bother him about it... but Just For Today... you won't. it really helps you heal and get stronger inside so that you will be healthy enough emotionally to help him overcome this. just make up a list of Just For Today tasks and recite them to yourself every single day. make sure to tell yourself that this is just for today... maybe not tomorrow... but just for today. you can also introduce your boyfriend to the Just For Today idea and if he decides he wants to quit... then have him make up his own list. he can say things like...
JUST FOR TODAY i will be drug-free.
JUST FOR TODAY i will focus on getting better for my family.
JUST FOR TODAY i will have a drug-free program and i will do everything in my power to not use.
JUST FOR TODAY i will go to NA meetings and talk to other people who are battling the same thing i am.
JUST FOR TODAY i will be unafraid of being sober.
JUST FOR TODAY i will set an example for my kids and i won't use drugs.
JUST FOR TODAY i will believe that i do not need drugs to survive.
It really helps a lot.
good luck with everything!
sorry i wrote so much... but i'd rather write too much... than not enough.

Hi, I am a recovering addict myself and I have a year and a half clean. I know from experience that unfortunatly you cannot help him no matter how hard you try. This probably hurts you like crazy. The best thing you can do is to let him go and try to live your life. This might give him a push to realize he has a problem. There are support groups you can join to help you deal with this. Its frustrating, it hurts and its so confuseing, I know, I wish you the best of luck and same with him. Dont give up on yourself and believe me its not at all your fault, none of it. Stay strong and do whats best for you.

I can completely relate to what you're going through. I've been with my boyfriend for a few months now and I knew about his previous heroin use. He was doing it the past year or so but I had been through detox and inpatient rehab last year. When we started dating he had been clean for six months when we started dating and I never thought twice about it. I knew his story and I knew he was clean. after we had been dating a couple of months, he confessed that he had been using again and he expected me to leave him for it so he had hidden it from me. When he told me what was going on, he had already made arrangements to go to detox again. He went there for a few days and since then he's been taking his suboxone, getting his debt taken care of, and working more to make more money.
Unfortunately, the worrying still doesn't go away. No matter how many times I see him take his medicine, or when I spend all day with him and he doesn't have the chance to use and he doesn't get sick the next day, or any thing like that, the worrying doesn't end. I still get sick nearly every morning or I have nightmares about him using. It takes minute incidents to cause me to worry (like one morning when he says he took his medicine but i didn't see him do it, or when i find a pill in his drawer and i don't know if it's from now or before, or when his eyes don't seem to dilate for a while, or just the times i'm not with him). It doesn't take much to tear my heart in two.
He tells me all the time that I am the reason he wants to do this. That he loves me so much that he wants to be clean and do whatever will make me happy so I will stay with him. He tells me all the time that I'm totally worth it. But after being lied to for months, part of me thinks all of that is total bullsh*t, ya know?
He's also told me that no matter what I say or how much I check up on him, it's not going to make him no do drugs. That being me is what will stop him. Loving him and standing by him. Letting him do things to make me happy. That's what he says keeps him from doing drugs.
I have basically moved in with him since that happened. I had been so terrified to leave him alone and now I just don't want to. I don't trust him any more and that makes everything so hard to believe. I used to go through his drawers, pockets and phone but that only hurt me more. I have since given up on that. All it does is hurt me more to find little things that could potentially mean he's using.
Now, I just watch him. I watch his eyes to make sure they dilate at all; I watch his arm to make sure I see no new punctures; I help keep track of his money to see where he's spending it all; I talk to his mom to make sure he's not telling her anything different than he's telling me; I keep track of his pills and make him take them in front of me every day. He'll even wake me up in the middle of the night if that's when he thinks to take it, just so I see him do it.
We're trying. Some days are harder than others and I wish I knew a way to make it all better, but just like you, I don't. Just be there for him. Many people started off telling me to leave my boyfriend but I knew that wouldn't help either of us: I'd be hurt that I left him and he'd lose his reason for being clean. He's told me before that I'm the prize he gets for being clean.
Stay strong. I'd love to hear how things are going now since this post was from months ago.

its really hard loving a person who is a junkie especially when you are not. just like you, i don't take drugs or alcohol. during our relationship i just felt like we were so different, but i still loved him. he showed all of the signs, but i didn't see them. he always had bruises all over his body, he just told me he got into an accident on his bike. he was always asking his parents for money and i kept telling him to stop (but it was much more than i thought).
In a way you feel like a "buzz kill"...at least i did. Like the more i talked the more i tried to be myself, the more he was annoyed with me. It was like he was saying "shut the fuck up you annoying bitch" in his mind. Maybe i'm being hard on myself. But junkies don't really like people. They are not really your friend, they will fuck you over and won't care at all, because they have heroin.
For xxtryinghardxx.....this could be a really terrible analogy, but think about people who pretend their dog is a human instead of an animal. The dog takes advantage of its owner, because your babying it. You shouldn't be surprised that the dog chews up your shoes or your clothes.
My fiance started using after 4 years. he told me he loves me more than anything. We've known each other since we were kids, he was my first boyfriend. He tells me that by having me it makes him feel "pure" again. I knew about his problem when we got back together, but it had been soooo long and i never thought we'd find each other again.
Last night he told me that if i leave he has no reason to get sober if i'm not there. But you know what i don't care, i told him "you shouldn't live your life for someone else, its not attractive" (even though i know he's NOT listening).
xxtryinghardxx-it sounds like you are going to continue to torture yourself with worry and agony with someone you are pretending is there. just like a dog is not a human, a heroin addict is a different kind of beast. i'm coming to terms with this. everyone keeps telling me they have to realize it for themselves...and i think that is true. he is not going to realize anything because of you, that is really hard to hear. I know that the person i loved is beautiful but he is now heroin, he is probably exactly like your boyfriend. all heroin addicts are kind of the same. they think about getting their next fix all the time, not about you. the more you try to keep an eye on him, the more he'll do shit behind your back.
After i found out, he knew it was over and everything was coming down hard. He just let himself go, i took my car (that he had keys to) and stashed it somewhere so he couldn;t find it. I put everything valuable we had, including his macbook pro laptop, my computer, my engagement ring (symbolic representation of "us" than i know he is willing to sell) in the car and locked it up. He came STORMING through the house, there was glass everywhere! he went through every jewelry box EVERYTHING. He called me and threatened to take my dog if i didn't tell him where his computer was (this was someone i didn't know). I called my family and his brother, they all told me "GIVE HIM HIS LAPTOP". Just like you, i want to save him. When he was threatening me, i said "i'll give you your laptop..." this was so hard for me. I biked my ass off because he was coming to school to find me and i didn't want him to know where the car was. My heart was racing. I gave him the laptop (we just so happen to live across the street from a pawnshop). I followed him, he went straight into the pawn shop and pawned his laptop with his dealer. it was devastating.
I just have to keep telling myself he is an addict, he WAS a grown man, and he is NOT a baby. He can do whatever he wants with his laptop. I called the cops and took down the dealers plates, but the cops told me the same thing "its his laptop and he can do whatever he wants with it". In a way the act was symbolic. A reality i did not want to face, but its the reality. I see what's happening and i realize..."the dog is not a human" you can't pretend to treat it like that. xxtryinghardxx-it just sounds like your trapped, your afraid to leave because he will use, but this is not "life", you are not free. these kinds of people really try to ruin OUR lives. it is so unfair...but just like an addict needs to find their own faith, so do we.

Video: Why the Private Cloud Works for One Growing Investment Firm
Moving to the cloud is one of our favorite topics here on Hedge IT, and there is a compelling argument for hedge funds and alternative investment firms to consider leveraging the cloud for some or all of their infrastructure. INDOS Financial, an independent Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD) depository based in London is one firm that chose to utilize the private cloud for their growing firm, and we're excited to share their experience with you.
Watch the video below for an interview with Bill Prew, CEO and founder of INDOS Financial, as he talks about selecting the right technology infrastructure for his firm's increasing demands.
Categorized under: Cloud Computing Infrastructure Outsourcing Videos And Infographics
Three Reasons the Private Cloud is Just like Olympic Curling
Have you been enamored by the coverage of the Winter Olympics the last two weeks? We sure have. And watching all of these great sports we don't normally get the chance to witness got us thinking – there are a lot of similarities between technology and Olympic sports. They're both complex in many ways and require experts (engineers and athletes) who are the best of the best at what they do.
One of our favorite sports to watch is curling. And we couldn't help but notice that Olympic curling and the private cloud are a lot alike. Don't believe us? Take a look.
Both are safe and secure.
Let's be honest: curling clearly presents the least amount of danger and lowest risk for injury at the Winter Olympics. Skiing and snowboarding? We've seen our fair share of wipeouts this year. Bobsled, luge and skeleton? Those are terrifying enough just as a spectator. Even figure skating poses a risk when skaters are leaping and twizzling left and right.
But curling? Extremely safe. Athletes can be fairly certain – whether they are curling or sweeping – that they will come out of the event unscathed.

Painting a Picture of Hedge Fund Technology (Infographic)
They say a picture is worth a thousand words so here is an infographic of our 2013 Global Hedge Fund Technology Benchmark Study that explores the most common front, middle and back office applications and technology used at today's hedge funds.

Three Ways Your Cloud Provider Can De-Stress Your Life
As a hedge fund or investment management firm, you're juggling a lot. Hedging bets, pitching investors, running day-to-day operations – there's a lot on your plate. That's why working with an experienced cloud services provider can offer benefits beyond just infrastructure.
Let's take a look at three different ways your cloud services provider can de-stress your busy life and provide you with much needed value.
1. Free up your space.
One of the beauties of a cloud computing environment is the near elimination of physical hardware and equipment on-site at your office. When managing your own server room or Communications (Comm.) room, you are responsible for housing a variety of equipment such as servers, UPS units, networking equipment and cables, spare parts, etc. Not to mention you need the real estate for it all. And don't forget – much of this equipment runs on a three-year refresh cycle, which means you'll have to upgrade everything in the near future.

Why Hedge Fund Data Center Selection Processes Matter
Data center facilities are at the heart of any cloud offering and, as such, are getting more scrutiny as hedge funds evaluate who the right cloud provider is for them.
Earlier this year we created a pretty infograpic that mapped what firms should look for in a colocation facility. Remember this?
Since not everyone loves infograpics, we decided to spell out what we look for in a colocation facility. Our due diligence is extensive, but here are some of the high points.
Ownership, Operation & Support: Eze Castle Integration seeks a colocation facility that is owned and operated by a reputable organization with vast industry knowledge and experience. Additionally, the personnel and client support must be of the highest quality in order to ensure that all Eze Castle colocation clients receive the best service and support possible.

If I Were a Cloud, I'd Be...
After reading (and enjoying) one too many "you know you're [insert age/town/job] if you're [insert something funny]" articles, we decided to have a little fun with our favorite technology topic – the cloud (surprise!).
So, here is how I envision life as a cloud.
I wouldn't care what I consumed because scalability would be one of my greatest traits. You might even catch me yelling, "More, more, more…"

What is Hypervisor-based Replication? (We know!)
Are you like one of the millions of people pondering the answer to 'what is hypervisor-based replication and how will it change my disaster recovery approach'? I know I was.
So, let me help you with that!
Our technology experts here at Eze Castle Integration spent some time in the lab testing and evaluating hypervisor-based replication and recently incorporated it into our Eze Disaster Recovery 2.0 offering. We think it delivers excellent benefits, but let's start with the basics.
What is hypervisor-based replication?
TechTarget defines hypervisor-based replication as "a technology that automatically creates and maintains replicas of virtual hard disks or entire virtual machines (depending on the platform that is being used)." Analyst firm IDC goes on to say that this replication approach "protects virtual machines (VMs) at the virtual machine disk format file level rather than at the LUN or storage volume level, thus replication can be done without the management and TCO challenges associated with array-based replication."

Is Bigger Always Better? Advice for Hedge Funds Named David
Like David bravely dueling with the larger Goliath, small and mid-sized investment firms are often faced with insurmountable odds when competing against larger (and better endowed) funds. With more experience and more assets, larger firms have the advantage when it comes to soliciting investor allocations. But do these inherent shortcomings equal certain failure? If David can emerge victorious, can't smaller hedge funds?
Earlier this week, we gathered a panel of experts in San Francisco to discuss this topic at length. Following is a brief synopsis of the topics they covered.

Snapchat "Disappearing" Messages: What it is & why you should care
You may have heard of it – the newest social media app that's sweeping the 18-25 year old demographic – Snapchat. But what is it, and how could the technology behind it affect the business world?
Snapchat is a photo messaging application in which users can take photos or record short videos on their smartphones, then add text or drawing and send them to select contacts. When sending the content, users have the ability to set a time limit for how long the recipients can view it (up to 10 seconds), after which the photo or video will disappear from the recipient's device.
Here's a recent Snapchat ad that depicts how the app is used:

Alum Bridge Deaths Ruled As Double Homicide/Suicide
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on December 20, 2012 @ 5:04PM
Created on December 20, 2012 @ 11:34AM
It was on November 12 when the bodies of 32-year-old Beth Kraus, 5-year-old Kaden Kraus, and 3-year-old Kiera Kraus were found in a burned out barn in Alum Bridge.
The Lewis County Sheriff's Office and Prosecuting Attorney held a press conference Thursday regarding their investigation into what happened in that incident.
After about a month and a half investigators announced that the death of the Kraus family was a double homicide and suicide. At the press conference they announced 32-year-old Beth Ann Kraus shot and killed her two children before setting the barn on fire and turning the gun on herself.
Investigators were suspicious because the barn had no utilities.
Autopsies by the state medical examiner's office later showed all three had died of gunshot wounds.
Investigators have been able to verify that Beth's husband, Doug Kraus, was with other family and then at work at the time of the tragedy.
Stay with 5 News tonight for a full report on Thursday's press conference.

Lincoln's Greatest Speech: The Second Inaugural.By Ronald C. White Jr. Simon & Schuster, 203 pp., $24.00.
Wisdom from Lincoln
The earliest occurrence of what church historians call a jeremiad happened before there was a United States. In 1670, only 50 years after the establishment of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, the Reverend Samuel Danforth offered a harsh assessment of the colonists' "errand into the wilderness."
"With malice toward none; with charity for all"
My brother was the first to call. We chatted about Barry Bonds: What justice is there in his going four for 27 in the 1991 play-offs as a Pittsburgh Pirate (our favorite team as young fans), and then, as a San Francisco Giant, hitting 73 home runs, four of them in his last six times at bat? Suddenly my brother let me have it. "Are you sure it was the Second Inaugural?" he asked.

Louie Corbett has retinitis pigmenta and due to the condition getting worse, he will go blind sooner than expected. The 12-year-old's two older brothers will also be blind later in their lives.
Retinitis pigmentosa is a rare disorder that moves progressively in the eye. Vision deteriorates over several decades and eventually leads to blindness, CNN reported March 3.
Louie's mother, Catherine Corbett, said last year was rough on him. The New Zealand family is coping with the reality of this tragic disorder.
"Last year was a hard one for poor Louie,"Catherine Corbett said. "That's when he learned that his case was accelerated."
Louie Corbett and his brothers have retinitis pigmentosa not because of a bad coincidence, butbecause the condition is hereditary.
Louie's family made the decision to take an international trip where the young boy can see the world before his eyesight is completely gone.
"This year we're going to try and fill his world with as many beautiful images as we can," his mother said.
A bucket list was made for Louie and listed among his favorite spots to see are the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls, the Empire State Building and, the Google headquarters in California.
Louie loves American basketball is "quite passionate about it," his mother added. He wants to see the Boston Celtics play in a game.
With Louie's eye disease fast deteriorating, he will have make these visits soon since he has lost 50 percent of his sight in one year alone. Fortunately, a generous individual -- Warren Casey -- is helping fund the the boy's excursion. It was a "random coincidence" that the CEO of a software firm based in Boston stepped in. Casey said he did it because the Corbetts are his "next door neighbors."
Every six weeks the CEO travels from his home in Auckland to his office in Boston. He arranged it so that Air New Zealand would fly Louie to the U.S. Casey donated his own mileage points, too.
Casey and Ceiba Solutions worked together and agreed to foot the bill for Louie despite the amount of money made from donations. $25,000 was raised in four weeks for Louie's cause.
Louie will enjoy a Celtics game when he visits the U.S. and take the trip of a lifetime, thanks to the help of supportive people around the planet.
The "Louie Corbett retinitis pigmentosa" story is heartbreaking. It is nice to see so many come through for the young boy before his eyesight completely disappears. At least he will be able to say he took a trip even adults can only dream of.

This is a mesmerizing, lyrical tale of the bright and dark sides of love and desire. Foolish love appears to be a Roux family birthright. And for Ava Lavender, a girl born with the wings of a bird, it is an ominous thing to inherit. In her quest to understand her peculiar disposition and a growing desire to join her peers, sixteen-year-old Ava ventures into the wider world. But it is a dangerous world for a naive girl - a world which may view her as girl or angel.
On the night of the summer solstice celebration, the skies open up, rain and feathers fill the air and Ava's journey and her family's saga reaches a devastating crescendo. First-time author Leslye Walton has constructed a layered and unforgettable mythology of what it means to be born with hearts that are tragically, exquisitely human. It is a stunning literary young adult novel, won at auction, which marks the debut of Leslye Walton.
The magical realism weaves through this generational saga which is reminiscent of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. It is a sensuous tale of a girl born with wings, with a taste of Chocolate and the shadow play of a Tim Burton film. It is a book about human love: its ability to destroy, corrode, and mutilate, its ability to ennoble, heal, and transform. It is a beautiful jacketed hardback edition.
About the Author
Leslye Walton says that The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender began as a short story that came to her while listening to a song. She has an MA in Writing, and this is her first novel. Leslye Walton is a native of Tacoma, Washington, where she currently teaches at a high school.

Amann, Cánovas, Maruri. El Hornillo wharf restoration. Águilas. Spain
February 18, 2011
Project published in a+t 35-36 STRATEGY PUBLIC
In this publication we cover four recent works on tourist locations on the Spanish Mediterranean coast. We note a tendency towards the defence and recovery of this territory from the public sphere. As opposed to the short-term interests of mass construction, the public eye sets its long-term sights on the conservation of the environment or the historical heritage. In this sense the El Hornillo project serves as an efficient barrier against the attacks of real estate
on the Murcia coastline.

1. How much should I be charged for my prescription medications?
The pharmacy is allowed to ask for a $1 copay, however, if you cannot afford it, you are not required to pay it in order to obtain your medication.
2. Can I get my medication early?
Early refills are covered when there is an increase in dosage, if a beneficiary is going into or leaving a nursing home, or if the medications are lost or stolen. The pharmacy may have to contact Medi-Cal to get approval to dispense medication early. Beneficiaries may receive up to a 100-day supply of many medications. If you often run out of medication, contact your doctor and discuss adjusting your prescription to your current needs.
3. Can I get my medications early if I am going on vacation?
Medi-Cal does not allow for early refills of your medications unless medically necessary. You need to work with your pharmacy and physician to either increase the amount dispensed, when you know you will be going on vacation or to have medication delivered to you while you are on vacation.
4. Why can I only get 30 pills if my prescription is for 60?
Some medications are restricted. If your prescription is for more than the restricted amount, the pharmacy can submit a Treatment Authorization Request or TAR to ask Medi-Cal for permission to give you a higher amount.
5. My Pharmacy told me my diabetic supplies are not covered. Is that true?
Diabetic supplies such as test strips, lancets and syringes are covered and can only be obtained through a pharmacy. Ask your pharmacy to call 1-800-541-5555 (outside of California, please call 916-636-1980) if they require additional assistance billing Medi-Cal for your diabetic supplies.
6. My pharmacy told me that Medi-Cal does not cover my medication. What should I do?
Some medications may require that the pharmacy submit a Treatment Authorization Request or TAR to ask Medi-Cal for permission to fill your prescription. It usually takes 24-48 hours for Medi-Cal to process a TAR.
7. Can I get the name brand medication when a generic is available?
Generic drugs are safe and effective, contain the same active ingredient and work the same way as the brand name. Medi-Cal can pay for a name brand drug if a generic is not available or if your doctor considers the name brand to be medically necessary. In cases where your doctor would like you to have the brand name when a generic is available, a Treatment Authorization Request may need to be completed by the pharmacy before you will be allowed to receive the brand name.
8. Are over-the-counter (OTC) medications covered?
Any OTC medication requires a prescription.
9. Can I request an early refill if my medication was lost or stolen?
Medi-Cal will cover lost, stolen or damaged medications. The pharmacy may have to contact Medi-Cal for authorization to dispense medication early.
10. I am covered by Medicare and Medi-Cal. Why is Medi-Cal not paying for my prescriptions?
Once a Medi-Cal client is entitled to receive Medicare, Medicare Part D will cover most of your prescriptions. Medicaid will only pay for a few medications that are excluded by your Part D plan. If you need assistance to find and enroll on a Part D plan, please call 1-800-Medicare or 1-800-633-4227.
11. Does Medi-Cal cover Viagra?
No. Medi-Cal does not cover any drugs for sexual or erectile dysfunction.
12. Does Medicaid cover smoking cessation products? (e.g. Chantix, Zyban and nicotine replacement therapy)
Medi-Cal pays for smoking cessation products when used in conjunction with behavioral modification support. Some products require the pharmacy to contact Medi-Cal for authorization. The Smokers' Helpline at 1-800-NO BUTTS (1-800-662-8887) is a free program available to all Californians including Medi-Cal beneficiaries.
13. Does Medi-Cal have a formulary?
Yes, Medi-Cal has a formulary that is call the "Medi-Cal List of Contract Drugs" (CDL). Drugs on this list generally do not require prior authorization; drugs not on the list require prior authorization (see question #14). The list can be found on the Medi-Cal website under Providers and Partners/Pharmacy Benefits/Contract Drug List. Updates are made to the list on a monthly basis. Medications are listed by their generic name.
14. What drugs require Prior Authorization (PA)?
All drugs that are not listed the CDL require a Treatment Authorization Request (TAR). Also if a drug is being used beyond a restriction listed on the CDL or it is the 7th or more prescription in a month, a TAR is usually required.
15. Can a "retroactive" TAR be obtained for a previously filled prescription?
Retroactive TAR requests can be submitted if they are requested within 180 days of the recipient's eligibility award date. These requests can be approved back to the recipient's eligibility effective date.
16. Why are some cough and cold products covered and some non-covered?
Cough and cold products are an optional coverage class according to the federal law. Medi-Cal covers only cough and cold products that have been approved by the FDA to be safe and effective. On March 24, 2011, legislation was passed in California eliminating over-the-counter (OTC) cough and cold products as a covered pharmacy benefit. As a result of this legislation, effective March 1, 2012, over-the-counter cough/cold products are not a benefit of the Medi-Cal program. Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment (EPSDT) eligible beneficiaries are exempt from this elimination of benefit.

When Hewlett-Packard decided to kill off its TouchPad and sell it for just a fraction of what it originally cost, $99 instead of $499, eBay sellers were quick to spot an opportunity and bought the HP TouchPad to sell at a marked-up price.
TouchPads are now selling on eBay for as much as $300!
Since news of the huge price cuts got out, people have been scrambling to stores to snap up the TouchPad before it sells out, and in the UK retailers have already run out of stock. You can still buy it on auction and retail websites, albeit not as cheap as the original mark-down.
Some astute eBayer's saw this as a chance to make some easy money, and after buying the HP TouchPad at the reduced price, decided to sell it online whilst organising delivery with a cheap courier.
But why are people suddenly so bothered about HP's failed tablet? Only two months after releasing the tablet, HP decided to give it the chop due to drastically low sales, indicating little consumer interest.
It seems that the hype over the weekend due to the vast media attention about the huge price cuts sparked off an irrational enthusiasm in many consumers, who all of a sudden decided that they wanted, and needed the HP TouchPad.
In today's society, where we are surrounded by a constant stream of new things to buy which offer a better, shiny lifestyle, it is easy to get caught up in the propaganda of new technology and be swayed by what our neighbours are buying.
Yet in these hard times people are reluctant to buy expensive items, unless there is an incentive. It appears the incentive being that people view 'bargains' as too good an opportunity to miss, so they jump on the bandwagon to buy something that they didn't really need, or even want.
I am pretty sure some people bought the HP TouchPad just because of this – the fact that it was a bargain and that the whole world is talking about tablets. It all feels kinda murky to me though, like we are all swept up in consumption and consumerism, buying things that we wouldn't normally consider just because it was a bargain.
How do you feel about this? Have you been tempted to buy something that you never wanted, just because it was a bargain?
