MARIETTA - The Memorial Health System is supporting complaints filed last week with the West Virginia Consumer Advocate at the office of the Insurance Commission, according to a press release from the system.
The filing is also supported by 400 West Virginia voters and more than 283 signatures on a petition. The group is requesting the Memorial Health System be brought into the PEIA provider network to the Governor's office in West Virginia.
The health system has been working with PEIA and West Virginia legislators to re-establish as a provider since August 2011 when patients approached the health system and representatives about their ability to access cancer care in Belpre. PEIA provides insurance for public employees in West Virginia, including state and local entities.
"We have been requesting to become a recognized provider of PEIA for two years," says Memorial Health System President and CEO Scott Cantley. "We have agreed to accept the same rates paid to West Virginia providers, even though they are a 50 percent reduction from our last contract, in the interest of helping patients. It is difficult to understand why the governor is discriminating against patients in our community."
The health system is working with PEIA and legislators to become a provider in their system to ensure access to all health care services and systems in the valley, according to the release.
"This enables patients to maintain long-standing relationships established with their physicians," said Dr. Dorai Rajan, Internal Medicine Specialist. "This is especially important for patients with chronic and life-threatening illnesses that need ongoing care. Patients choose health care provides based on a trusted relationship. This is even more sensitive with the growing loss of services provided at the St. Joseph's Hospital campus in Parkersburg."
Cantley agreed.
"This region utilizes the resources of the entire Valley and health care is no different," he said. "Patients want and deserve care that is not only convenient but also provides the most appropriate care, technology and medical collaboration for them and their families."
The Mid-Ohio Valley is the only area in the state of West Virginia that patients aren't given the choice. There are no restrictions like this in existence in other border communities in the state of West Virginia.
Health system officials noted that having a choice is very important to patients. Ohio patients have the opportunity to choose health care services in West Virginia. West Virginia public employees should have the opportunity to receive care in their neighboring Ohio community, they said.
"It is critical that access to both physicians and health system services be provided to patients so physicians can continue to see physicians who they have a relationship with and who know their health care needs," says Cantley. "We owe it to our neighbors, friends and family to do what we can to lessen the toll health issues have on them and their family when possible. Ensuring access to the best care possible, based on their individual needs and desires is simply the right thing to do."

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
All-Day Event!
Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University in collaboration with the NYU Fales Library & Special Collections presents--MARVELS AND MONSTERS: Unmasking Asian Images in U.S. Comics, 1942-1986 The William F. Wu Collection at NYU Fales Library & Special Collections
Opening Reception and Talk with William F. Wu and Curator Jeff Yang
Thursday, May 26, 2011 | 6:00PM-8:00PM
Over four decades that included some of the most turbulent times in our nation's history, science fiction author and cultural studies scholar William F. Wu painstakingly gathered an archive of comics distinguished not only by its size and reach, but by its scope: It is perhaps the world's only, and certainly the largest, collection of comic books featuring images of Asians and Asian Americans. Marvels and Monsters draws from this important collection, recently donated with the help of A/P/A Institute to the NYU Fales Library & Special Collections.
Marvels and Monsters takes the most potent and indelible examples of such images from the thousands in Wu's collection, and organizes them around the archetypes they reflect and sustain — The Alien, the Kamikaze, the Brute, the Lotus Blossom, the Guru, the Brain, the Temptress, the Manipulator — while placing them within both a historical context and a discourse with contemporary Asian American writers and creators including Ken Chen, V.V. Ganeshananthan, Larry Hama, David Henry Hwang, Naomi Hirahara, Genny Lim, Greg Pak, Vijay Prashad, and Gene Luen Yang. The exhibition also contains elements designed to encourage direct engagement with the archetypes, such as life-sized cutouts that allow visitors to put themselves "inside the image" and an installation called "Shades of Yellow" that matches the shades used for Asian skin tones in the comics with their garish PantoneTM color equivalents. It ends with a library of present-day graphic novels by Asian American creators — showing how their influx into the industry has transformed how Asians are depicted — and an area that offers visitors the ability to color original heroes designed by Bernard Chang (Supergirl) and Jef Castro-Cifra and Jerry Ma (Secret Identities).

The last time we caught sight of him around here, he was prancing about the War Memorial Opera House stage in a bird-catcher's costume. Prior to that, he was a bare-chested sailor swabbing the decks in the same locale. And perhaps you'll remember him vroooooming onto that very stage as a dashing barber on a hot red motorcycle even earlier.
But when American baritone Nathan Gunn next pops up in the Bay Area, on Saturday night to be precise, he'll be in church and wearing, we're willing to bet, his own best dark suit. A known entity at San Francisco Opera (as Papageno in Mozart's "The Magic Flute" last year, the title character in Benjamin Britten's "Billy Budd" in 2004 and Figaro in Rossini's "The Barber of Seville" in 2003, a role he revisited in 2006), Gunn is here to sing a recital for Cal Performances at the First Congregational Church in Berkeley. An added reason he is likely to be looking his sharpest? He'll have the lovely Julie Gunn, wife and mother of his five children, as his piano accompanist. The Gunns, who hail from Champaign, Ill.
Their Saturday night program is a mix of the classical and contemporary song repertoire. Robert Schumann's famed "Dichterliebe" cycle is in the lineup, as are Franz Schubert's "Die Taubenpost," "Das Rosenband," "Im Walde," "Nachtviolen" and "Auf der Bruck."
Switching from the German to his own native tongue, Gunn will dip into some Samuel Barber -- "With rue my heart is laden," "Sure on this Shining Night" and "I hear an army" are among the selections. From the voluminous, wit-laden Charles Ives songbook will come "Circus Band," "Down East," "Tom Sails Away," "An Old Flame" and "General William Booth Enters into Heaven." Some of William Bolcom's cabaret songs round out the program, specifically "Black Max," "George," "Fur (Murray the Furrier)" and "Over the Piano."
Details: 8 p.m., 2345 Channing Way, Berkeley; $56; 510-642-9988, www.calperformances.org.
IN THEIR OWN WRITE: The Bay Area-based women's vocal ensemble Kitka is known here and far afield for its expertise with and championship of the music of the Balkans and Eastern Europe in general. As proponents of that often haunting music, these eight singers have performed, over the course of their 33 seasons, the works of countless composers across several centuries in a dozen different languages. Much of their repertoire has been "discovered" by the members searching through old archival recordings or taking research trips abroad. But they have also had commissioned works written specifically for them by composers as well known as David Lang, Pauline Oliveros, Meredith Monk and Chen Yi.
So it must be especially gratifying for them to be able to bring us their upcoming program, "New Folksongs From Within," which will showcase the world premieres of works by two of their own, Janet Kutulas and Elizabeth Setzer, both recent music directors of the ensemble.
Kutulas' "Iron Shoes" is offered as a concert-style excerpt from an upcoming full opera, and it revolves around the heroines (of course!) of three separate European fairy tales. Setzer describes her "Apple Blossoms and Brine," a song cycle, as centering on "the timeless experiences of love and heartbreak, loss and celebration."
"New Folksongs From Within" will be presented three times at an intimate, relatively new venue for performance in Oakland, the Piedmont Piano Company.
Details: 8 p.m. Friday through Sunday, 1728 San Pablo Ave., Oakland. $15-$20 advance, $20-$25 at the door; www.kitka.org.

Yarn Profile: Green Mountain Spinnery
First Impressions
Colors are gently heathered. The blue I used for the above swatch (called "Lupine") had gentle flecks of white, silver, grey, and cranberry red.
Green Mountain Spinnery lists three gauges for this yarn, and they aren't kidding. The yarn expands and contracts depending on the needle size. Really. I tested it. This means you're three times as likely to find a pattern you like without having to adapt it to a different gauge.
Knitting Up
Because it's a single-ply yarn, sharp needles may cause it to shred. Think Lite Lopi but much more soft and subtle.
Blocking / Washing
My friction test didn't hurt the swatches at all. In fact, when I took the swatches out of the dryer, they were stretch- and pill-free and had become as soft as pure cashmere.
I'm not sure I'd risk using this for a two-year-old's sweater, but then again I'm a cautious person. For anything else, this is a lovely material that drapes well and ages beautifully.
It's probably most comparable to Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride. Although both brands offer a good variety of colors, I personally think that the Green Mountain colors are especially memorable.

Did you know?
Archaeological finds within the Cradle of Humankind include two-million-year-old stone tools.
About 50km north-west of Johannesburg is the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, an area of undulating grassland, rocky outcrops and river courses typical of the Highveld before it was overtaken by urban sprawl.
It's a place that draws visitors from around the world for the fossil record that lies in the network of limestone caves beneath the surface.
Here you'll find the Sterkfontein Caves, Swartkrans and Kromdraai, among other fossil sites, all places that tell the story of what the world was like when our human ancestors were evolving some two to three million years ago.
At the Sterkfontein Caves alone, the remains of more than 500 hominids (the hominid family includes modern-day humans and their direct ancestors) have been uncovered, lending credence to the 'Out of Africa' theory, which is that humans and their ancestors evolved in Africa first.
So rich is this hominid fossil record that the area was declared a World Heritage Site in 1999, one of eight in South Africa.
Fossils were first unearthed here in the 1890s when the caves were blasted open for lime needed for the extraction of gold discovered on the Witwatersrand in 1886.
But it was only from the 1930s that serious scientific work started to take place.
One of the first major discoveries was that of 'Mrs Ples', a pre-human skull dating back more than 2-million years (Australopithecus africanus) unearthed by Professor Robert Broom and his assistant, John Robinson, in 1947 at the Sterkfontein Caves.
The skull was originally classified as Plesianthropus transvaalensis (hence the name) and was an adult version of the same species as the Taung Child, the tiny fossilised skull of a child about three years old that had been found at the Taung limeworks in what is now the North West province, and identified by Professor Raymond Dart in 1924.
Although smaller than us, Australopithecus africanus is regarded as one of our early ancestors because it walked upright. In 1997, a complete hominid skeleton called 'Little Foot', also found in the Sterkfontein Caves, was introduced to the world and is still in the process of being described.
In 2005, two more areas of significance were added to this World Heritage Site, bringing the number of official fossil sites in the Cradle of Humanking to 13. These were Makapan (in Limpopo) and Taung (in the North West province). Together all these areas are now known as the Fossil Hominid Sites of Sterkfontein, Swartkrans, Kromdraai and Environs, recognised by UNESCO for their significance in human evolutionary studies.
You'll find a small but good exhibition centre at the Sterkfontein Caves and a much larger, more interactive one at Maropeng.
And you can play, too
Aside from a visit to the Sterkfontein Caves and Maropeng, the official visitor centre of the Cradle of Humankind, 'the Cradle' as it is locally known is also a playground for the people of Gauteng, with a range of facilities and activities, including loads of accommodation choices, restaurants, coffee shops, conference centres, cycle tracks, horse trails and hot-air ballooning.

The Boy Scouts of America has adopted a number of policies aimed at
eliminating opportunities for abuse within the Scouting program. These policies
focus on leadership selection and on placing barriers to abuse within the
The Boy Scouts of America takes great pride in the quality of our adult
leadership. Being a leader in the BSA is a privilege, not a right. The quality of
the program and the safety of our youth members call for high-quality adult
leaders. We work closely with our chartered organizations to help recruit the
best possible leaders for their units.
The adult application requests background information that should be checked
by the unit committee or the chartered organization before accepting an applicant
for unit leadership. While no current screening techniques exist that can identify
every potential child molester, we can reduce the risk of accepting a child molester
by learning all we can about an applicant for a leadership position—his or
her experience with children, why he or she wants to be a Scout leader, and what
discipline techniques he or she would use.
The BSA has adopted the following policies to provide additional security for
our members. These policies are primarily for the protection of our youth members;
however, they also serve to protect our adult leaders from false accusations of
Note: Bold type denotes rules and policies.
Parents participate in the protection of their children in a variety of ways.
BSA recognizes the need for open lines of communication so that children are
encouraged to bring any troubles to their parents for advice and counsel. In
addition, parents need to be involved in their sons' Scouting activities. All
parents receive important information concerning the Scouting program as part of
their sons' membership applications. This information is provided so that parents
can detect any deviations from the BSA's approved program. If any deviations are
noted, parents should call these to the attention of the chartered organization or
the unit committee. If the problems persist, parents should contact the local
council for assistance.
Parents also need to review the booklet, "How to Protect Your Children from
Child Abuse and Drug Abuse: A Parent's Guide," inserted in every Boy Scout and
Cub Scout handbook. The information in this booklet should be the subject of
discussions between Scouts and their parents prior to joining a pack or troop.
A victim of child sexual abuse is under a great deal of pressure to keep
the abuse secret. In many cases of child molestation, the molester has threatened
to harm the child or a member of the child's family. The molester might have told
the child that he would not be believed even if the child did tell. Another
common situation is that the molester will tell the child that if the child tells
about the abuse, he will get into trouble. The clear message is given to the child
that if another person finds out, something bad will happen to the child. This
pressure to maintain silence can often be successfully overcome by establishing
open communication between children and adults through a proper educational
program for children.
How an adult responds to a child when he tries to disclose abuse can influence
the outcome of the child's victimization. By maintaining an apparent calm, the
adult can help reassure the child that everything is going to be okay. By not
criticizing the child, we counteract any statements the molester made to the
victim about the child getting into trouble. Reassure the child that you are
concerned about what happened to him and that you would like to get him some
help. Allegations by a Scout concerning abuse in the program must be reported
to the Scout executive. Since these reports are required, the child should
be told that you have to tell the proper authorities but that you will not tell
anyone else. It is important that you not tell anyone other than the Scout
executive or the child protective services agency about allegations of
abuse—if the allegations cannot be substantiated, you could be sued for
defamation of character.
Every state, the District of Columbia, and the U.S. territories have different
reporting requirements. As part of youth protection training, you will receive
reporting instructions for your area and for your council. People are often
concerned about being sued for reporting child abuse. You are not required to
know for certain that a child has been abused. All that the law requires is that
you have a reasonable suspicion and are reporting in "good faith." When these
requirements are met, all states provide immunity from liability for child abuse
"How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide" is a
tear-out booklet bound in with BSA youth books. It is designed for parents or
guardians and young people to use together for youth protection training.
The Power Pack Pals comic books, available in English and in Spanish, are for
Cub Scout-age boys. They include Power Pack Pals (No. 33980)/Los Superamigos
del Pack (No. 33979), Power Pack Pals Tackle the Internet (No. 33981)/Power
Pack Pals: Seguridad en la Internet (No. 3344646), and Power Pack Pals: Four
Rules for Personal Safety (No. 46-34750)/Power Pack Pals: 4 Reglas Para
Seguridad Personal (No. 34465). The BSA has bilingual, age-appropriate videos
for all youth age groups to address the problems of sexual abuse. It Happened
to Me/A Mí Me Pasó (No. AV-09DVD11) should be used annually by
Cub Scout packs or dens, but only for Cub Scouts accompanied by a parent or
other adult family member. The video for Boy Scouts, A Time to Tell/Hora de
Contarlo (No. AV-09DVD04), introduces the "three R's" of Youth Protection, and
should be viewed by troops annually. Personal Safety Awareness/Concientización
Sobre la Seguridad Personal (No. AV-09DVD27) is the video for Venturing-age
young people.
The BSA recognizes that many of our leaders feel unprepared to talk to
children about preventing sexual abuse. For this reason, the BSA has meeting guides
for both of the videos produced to be viewed by youths. The guides address
everything from scheduling the meeting, contacting the police or social services
for assistance, and notifying parents (a sample letter is provided), to questions
and answers for discussion after the video has been viewed.
The "three R's" of Youth Protection convey a simple message that the BSA wants
its youth members to learn:
Reference: How to Protect Your Children from Child Abuse: A Parent's Guide, No. 46-015
The Boy Scouts of America is a values-based youth development organization
that helps young people learn positive attributes of character, citizenship,
and personal fitness. The BSA has the expectation that all participants in the
Scouting program will relate to each other in accord with the principles embodied
in the Scout Oath and Law.
One of the developmental tasks of childhood is to learn appropriate behavior.
Children are not born with an innate sense of propriety and they need guidance
and direction. The example set by positive adult role models is a powerful tool
for shaping behavior and a tool that is stressed in Scouting.
Misbehavior by a single youth member in a Scouting unit may constitute a
threat to the safety of the individual who misbehaves as well as to the safety
of other unit members. Such misbehavior constitutes an unreasonable burden on a
Scout unit and cannot be ignored.
All members of the Boy Scouts of America are expected to conduct themselves
in accordance with the principles set forth in the Scout Oath and Law. Physical
violence, hazing, bullying, theft, verbal insults, and drugs and alcohol have
no place in the Scouting program and may result in the revocation of a Scout's
membership in the unit.
If confronted by threats of violence or other forms of bullying from other
youth members, Scouts should seek help from their unit leaders or parents.
Adult leaders of Scouting units are responsible for monitoring the behavior
of youth members and interceding when necessary. Parents of youth members who
misbehave should be informed and asked for assistance in dealing with it.
The BSA does not permit the use of corporal punishment by unit leaders when
disciplining youth members.
The unit committee should review repetitive or serious incidents of
misbehavior in consultation with the parents of the child to determine a course
of corrective action including possible revocation of the youth's membership in
the unit.
If problem behavior persists, units
may revoke a Scout's membership in that
unit. When a unit revokes a Scout's membership, it should promptly notify the
council of the action.
The unit should inform the Scout executive about all incidents that result
in a physical injury or involve allegations of sexual misconduct by a youth
member with another youth member.
Each Cub Scout den and Webelos Scout den and each chartered Cub Scout pack,
Boy Scout troop, Varsity Scout team, and Venturing crew shall have one leader,
21 years of age or older, who shall be registered and serve as the unit or den
leader. A unit leader may not serve simultaneously in any other position within
the same unit. The head of the chartered organization or chartered organization
representative and the local council must approve the registration of the unit
or den leader on the appropriate form.

First aid is the first help or immediate care given someone who has suddenly sickened or been hurt in an accident. First-aid training continues through the program of the Boy Scouts of America as concrete evidence that we are prepared to help others in need.
It is important that one person in each touring group be trained in the principles of first aid, know how and when to put this knowledge to the best use, and thoroughly understand the limitations of this knowledge.
It is strongly recommended that adult leaders in Scouting avail themselves of CPR and first-aid training by the American Red Cross or any recognized agency to be aware of the latest techniques and procedures. However, some of the first-aid techniques found in BSA literature are not the same as those professed by the American Red Cross. Frequently, modifications depend on the Scout's age—this could be a factor in the Scout's judgment and physical dexterity.
A first-aid kit well stocked with the basic essentials is indispensable. Choose one sturdy and lightweight, yet large enough to hold the contents so that they are readily visible and so that any one item may be taken out without unpacking the whole kit. Keep a list of contents readily available for easy refilling. Keep the kit in a convenient location. Make one person responsible for keeping the kit filled and available when needed. Quantities of suggested items for your first-aid kit depend on the size of your group and local conditions.
Because of the possibility of exposure to communicable diseases, first-aid kits should include latex or vinyl gloves, plastic goggles or other eye protection, and antiseptic to be used when giving first aid to bleeding victims, as protection against possible exposure. Mouth barrier devices should be available for use with CPR.
This specialized skill to endeavor to revive victims of cardiac arrest (no breathing, no pulse) may be taught to Boy Scouts and Venturers by an instructor currently trained by the American Red Cross or American Heart Association. Teaching this skill to Cub Scouts is not recommended.
Preliminary skills related to CPR are found in the Boy Scout Handbook and the First Aid merit badge pamphlet (rescue breathing, choking, and steps to take for CPR).
Reference: Health and Safety Guide, No. 34415
Many people are concerned about the rapid spread of HIV (the AIDS virus) and try to avoid exposing themselves to this hazard. Health professionals and amateur first-aiders like those of us in Scouting may find ourselves faced with special concerns in this regard. Therefore, we must know how to act and how to instruct the youth we lead. Try to maintain the BSA's tradition of rendering first aid to those in need. Recognize that often the victims we treat with first aid are friends and family members whose health we are familiar with. Therefore, in such cases, except when we know they have infectious diseases, we should not hesitate to treat them.
Treat all blood as if it were contaminated with bloodborne viruses. Do not use bare hands to stop bleeding; always use a protective barrier. Always wash exposed skin area with hot water and soap immediately after treating the victim. The following equipment is to be included in all first-aid kits and used when rendering first aid to those in need:
Individuals (medicine, fire rescue, and law enforcement Venturing crew members; volunteer first-aiders at camporees, Scouting shows, and similar events) who might have been exposed to another's blood and body fluids should know the following:
Near-drowning is a term used to describe a fatality that occurs several hours after resuscitation or revival of a drowning victim. Near-drowning accidents are usually witnessed and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) is delivered at the scene. Lung rupture can occur during the submersion or consequent to the resuscitation efforts. Pneumonia is a later complication in the injured lung. To ensure that water-accident victims do not become near-drownings, they need to be admitted to a hospital with a respiratory intensive care unit and monitored for at least 24 hours to watch for complications. The hypothermic victim requires special attention.

SAN DIEGO -- Hours after President Barack Obama delivered remarks about Trayvon Martin and the George Zimmerman trial, Jamie Foxx and Samuel L. Jackson addressed the racially charged case at Comic-Con in San Diego.
Foxx was at the massive pop culture convention to promote his role as the villain Electro in "The Amazing Spider-Man 2." Holding his 4-year-old daughter Annalise, who wore a Spider-Man backpack and shoes, Foxx said he was "disappointed" in the July 13 not guilty verdict in Florida.
He had been among the most vocal celebrities expressing support for Martin's family, having met the teen's mother Sybrina Fulton at an awards show.
"She's always been courageous in saying this has never been about race. She said it's about 17-year-old kids. We have to protect our kids. So I stand with her forever," Foxx said.
"It was great to see Bruce Springsteen in Ireland dedicate a song to Trayvon. I think that's what really makes it universal in the fact that we know that there's race involved, but to see all races coming together and saying that hey, there's something wrong," Foxx said. "There's something wrong when a 17-year-old child is on his way home and someone with a gun pursues him and he ends up losing his life."
Foxx said Martin's case was part of an "epidemic" of gun violence in the US.
"When you look at Sandy Hook and Aurora and all these different things where we're losing our children. Chicago -- 67 kids, people killed in a week -- we have an epidemic," he said. "And it's up to us as the grown folks to be smart enough and intelligent and nice to each other to have a difference of opinion, but also understand that we have to come to a solution."
Samuel L. Jackson was also on hand at the convention, promoting the remake of "RoboCop." He said he'd been out of the country for much of the trial and during the verdict, but expected the result.
"I'm not really surprised by it considering the way the case was presented and the representation that the family had, and the portrayals that they put out there of the kid and how peoples' attitudes are about those particular things," Jackson said.
Still, he said, he was "encouraged by the attitude of people after the verdict, that people are willing to stand up and take a stand and get out in the streets, and let their voices be heard."

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
High-Deductible Plans May Impede Care
July 9, 2008 -- High-deductible health insurance plans promoted as a key way to control medical spending appear to lead policy holders to avoid health care they need, a pair of studies released Tuesday concludes.
The studies show that patients using high-deductible "consumer-directed health plans," or CDHPs, are more likely to skip recommended doctor's visits and take less than the recommended dose of heart medications.
As many as 12 million Americans are now using high-deductible insurance plans along with health savings accounts, according to industry data.
Authors of the studies say health plans should do more to educate patients using the plans about how to get lower-priced drugs and treatments rather than cutting back on care.
In one study, patients using the high-deductible plans in 2004 were 3.5 times more likely than patients using a traditional preferred-provider organization (PPO) to report that they'd avoided going to the doctor when they thought they should. The figure dropped to twice as likely in 2005.
At the same time, another study found it two to three times more likely that patients in the high-deductible plans failed to fill prescriptions for blood pressure or cholesterol-lowering medication.
"Patients' self-reported behavior in this study suggests that they may be forgoing or delaying recommended care," concludes one of the studies, both of which were published in the policy journal Health Affairs.
Robert Zirkelbach, a spokesman for America's Health Insurance Plans, the industry's main lobbying group, says consumer-directed plans are still "relatively new" and that the relationship between patients and the plans is still in flux.
"Consumers are getting more used to the concept of consumer-directed care," he says. "It's hard to tell what this [study] says about the trend in general."
(How have these health plans affected your health? Share your experiences on WebMD's General Health board.)
Controlling Health Care Costs
Backers promote the use of high-deductible insurance plans along with health savings accounts as a way to spread insurance to more consumers. Patients can buy the plans for lower premiums, but they also require consumers to spend more of their own money on their care than they would in a traditional employer-sponsored insurance plan. Health savings accounts, often paired with consumer-directed plans, let consumers save money tax-free to pay the premiums.

Liquid CD
10 Opinions
An excellent tool ,been using it for a long time..work very well.
It'd be a shame if all this program could burn is blurry songs of the Sex Pistols. :P
If you want a free way to have a disc "show only these files to windows" and "show only these files to mac", then this is the program for you.
Ok, i write to the developers of LiquidCD, asking them to change the icons with the "susumu" icons. So, they told me that tey would change the icons if also other users ask the same change.
i see these icons: http://homepage.mac.com/mcdo_design/designservices.htm
why they don't use that replacement?
Fantastic app!! Make a multisession CD, too!!
Does it burn DVD too? I ran it and it didn't show any DVD option...
Nice burning app. Toast always crashed on me, so LiquidCD just does the job now. I haven't missed anything although it's a pretty lightweight burning app.
Useful for burning BIN/CUE files left over from a switcher's Windows days.

Stadium still needs more repair funds

PARKERSBURG —Tuesday night's decision by the Wood County Board of Education to provide $700,000 to begin repairs to the bleachers at Parkersburg High's Stadium Field only started to address the......
Yea! Voted for library only to see my real estate taxes take a $20,000 hike in appraised value with bad documents brought to everyones attention and still not resolved! How many times do I have to complain and go thru the process before THEY follow state code!? Over 6 years and SEVERAL thousand dollars and still in square "1"! What comes around will go around.

As a taxpayer, I think we have the right to insist someone not associated with PHS be appointed to oversee the funds. These funds have a specific list of what is necessary for repairs. Any further improvements not necessary should wait until they can raise funds for themselves. PHS should also be forced to use the funds they raised and borrowed first and only use as much of the $700K as necessary returning the remainder to the board.
Beware, there will come a day, maybe not in the near future, but there will be a day when Erickson is slated in the top stadiums in the state. They are still in the beginning stages for a lot improvements but PHS did not automatically appear complete. It had to start somewhere and I bet there was struggle there to.
Let's take our adult foolishness and keep it to ourselves. Our children only need to be taught to help whoever they can no matter what side of the river they live on.

News 12 6 o'clock / Friday, Dec. 7, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- If you've been in downtown Augusta lately, you may have noticed a few more "coming soon" signs. Several new businesses, including five restaurants, are coming to the area, which could mean big things for the local economy.
Musa Anderson is getting ready to open the doors to her new restaurant downtown.
"It's going to be totally British traditional pub, old school," Anderson said.
It's been a dream of her and her son's to open Boar's Head and now, it's a reality. She's part of a growing trend of small businesses moving downtown, helping to bring new life to the city.
"There are five new restaurants looking to open before the end of the year or right after the first of the year," Mayor Deke Copenhaver said.
Places like the new hot spot Whiskey Bar and Euros Bistro have just opened their doors, and it's more than just restaurants making their way downtown. The downtown district is starting to see more retail stores pop up, too, like Stationery Seffarri.
"I think a lot of people really want to come back downtown to the roots of things," Anderson said.
Many new business owners like Anderson say, with the new convention center set to open and the medical school growing, there's no time like the present to open a business downtown.
"It makes me feel really good and proud that I can be a part of the revitalization of downtown because that is really what's happening here," she said.
But it's not cheap to start your own business, something Anderson knows firsthand, saying, "I've been taken aback by all of the taxes that you get into and the bureaucracy of it all."
Mayor Copenhaver says he is working with state leaders to help give businesses moving downtown a break.
"We've come forward with the Georgia Downtown Renaissance Act at the state level. It will go into the hopper next year," he said.
The bill would provide tax cuts and incentives for people and business looking to move downtown and could even help get rid of some of the vacant spaces.
"Some of those empty storefronts would be filled up because we'd incentivize bringing them in state tax credits," he said.
And for small businesses owners like Anderson, the Renaissance Act would be a breath of fresh air.
"To start a business, a small business, it is very difficult with all the taxes, so if we get any break, it would be fabulous," Anderson said.

PARKERSBURG - Bowling and the symphony came together Saturday at the West Virginia Symphony League-Parkersburg's Bowling Ball fundraiser for the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra at Emerson Lanes.
Becky Deem, past president of the symphony league, said the Bowling Ball is in its third year to raise funds to support the symphony's "Music in Schools" program.
Deem said there were several corporate and individual teams in the event. Those included Camden Clark Medical Center, Sabic, Hino, Highmark, Kraton, Wesbanco, Coldwell Banker, Lees' Studio, Foodland and Waters Insurance, with some bringing two teams.

The Bowling Ball is not the league's only fundraiser. Deem said another recent fundraiser for the league was the "Dinner With The Doctors" where different doctors prepared a dinner. Coming up in April will be the annual Symphony Dinner at the Parkersburg Country Club after the last symphony performance for the year .
Deem said the ball helps make programs beyond concert performances by the symphony possible.
"Beyond performing concerts, the symphony does programs in Wood County and some Washington County schools," she said. "The entire symphony performs once a year for the schools and then there are different programs for the different grade levels."
Along with school performances, she said there are about 10 performances by the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra each year in the Wood County area. The symphony league also sponsors an annual program for the schools by the Ohio University Brass.
"We raise money to help support the symphony and the programs they have," she said. "We call it 'Music in the Schools' programs."
Deem said the annual ball brings the symphony out to the community.
"It gets our name out there and it gets people participating that might not usually work with a symphony event," she said. "Often people think of a symphony as very staid; we try to appeal to everyone.
"Everyone is interested in having their children learn as much as possible about music."
Deem said 26 of the 46 lanes at Emerson Lanes were reserved for the symphony league.
Formed in 2004, the symphony league assists the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra-Parkersburg Board of Directors by organizing fundraising events and planning social programs to publicize and support the West Virginia Symphony Orchestra.

To the editor: Thank you to our six-month-old Raleigh Republican majority, including Henderson Countys legislators Sen. Tom Apodaca and Reps. Chuck McGrady and Chris Whitmire.
In education, they teamed up with inner-city Democratic legislators on the Opportunity Scholarship Act, which provides the lowest income children the chance to escape the worst schools. They also streamlined the process for charter schools to get up and running.
They are passing a Voter ID law, joining the 34 states that already have one. Sadly, some on the left will keep screaming voter suppression on this topic, even though many states that have had such laws for decades (Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Florida, etc.) have patterns of minority voter turnout equal to or higher than North Carolina.
Overdue tax reform will give North Carolina the chance to become a job magnet as we have seen in Texas, Arizona and Ohio. Good-paying jobs are still the best social programs and the only sustainable way under the Obama recovery to grow tax receipts for investments in education and roads, which are strained after years of Hunt, Easley and Perdue raiding our trust funds and maxing out our debts to D.C. Please keep these and other reforms moving!

To the editor: The political cartoon in the July 10 edition, depicting President Barack Obama at the controls of a distressed aircraft, is completely inappropriate in the wake of the Asiana Airlines disaster in San Francisco just four days prior.
Although the cartoon contains no direct reference to the Asiana crash, the connection seems quite clear, with content and timing required to maximize its derogatory intent. Score one (more) for political and media idiocy.
While I certainly do not expect discretion on the part of any political commentator, cartoonist or activist, I definitely do expect much better discretion and sensitivity from my hometown newspaper.
I hope the families of the two young girls killed in the crash, two very precious young lives, and the scores of injured do not believe that this kind of political insensitivity is something Americans tolerate.

Train wreck
To the editor: On the Fourth of July, and I read the Declaration of Independence. The second paragraph begins, We hold these truths to be self-evident. Further on in the document, the signers held forth certain facts, the first one of which states, He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.
Could this happen in America? It just did again. Case in point can be found in the coming Obamacare train wreck as recognized by leading Democrats (Max Baucus). As a result, the 2014 elections are in grave jeopardy. Obama realizes this and, by executive fiat, delayed Section 1513 of the law as mandated by Congress to take effect Jan. 1, 2014. It now has been set back one year. It should be noted, however, that Section 1501 of the act (individual mandate) will go into effect Jan. 1, 2014, and every American is still being commanded to buy insurance or face a penalty (called a tax by the Supreme Court).
You may ask how Barack Obama can continually shred the law for his own purposes. He is able to do this when a significant segment of Americans continues to place personal good above the public good.

The much-discussed bill in California requiring public school textbooks to teach lessons gay and lesbian contributions to the state's history has been signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown. Every child in the state public school system will be automatically gay by midnight.
From Brown's statement:
"History should be honest,'' Brown said. "This bill revises existing laws that prohibit discrimination in education and ensures that the important contributions of Americans from all backgrounds and walks of life are included in our history books.''
How much longer can it be until the mandatory child gay marriages in school come around? Probably never, actually.

Hundreds of children are hit by cars and killed each year. Despite recent declines, pedestrian injury remains the second leading cause of unintentional injury-related death among children ages 5 to 14.
When dealing with traffic, children under the age of 10 have difficulty judging how fast cars are moving, how far away they are, and which direction traffic sounds are coming from. Young children often have mistaken beliefs about cars. They think cars can stop instantly, or that if they can see a driver, the driver can see them. Most children are struck by cars in streets or driveways near their homes, darting out between parked cars, walking along the edge of the road, or crossing in the middle of the block or in front of a turning car. More than half of all pedestrian injuries occur when a vehicle is backing up and young children are at increased risk of pedestrian death and injury in driveways.
In Maricopa County between 1998 and 2002, 51 children under the age of 15 were killed as a pedestrian and 97 were injured as a pedestrian, with a grand total of 148 children injured or killed.
Pedestrian Safety Members of the coalition go into elementary schools and present pedestrian safety to the teachers and students. Every year, the coalition participates in the Safe Kids Walk This Way program by working with various schools to join in on the International Walk Your Child to School Day, held the first part of October. Members work with the schools teachers and administration to organize the students and parents to meet in a nearby site and all walk to school together. The police and fire departments are on hand to walk with the students and make sure they learn how to walk to school safely. Usually, the school holds an assembly, during which the students learn about pedestrian safety.
If you would like Safe Kids to come to your school, call us at 480.429.9535 and leave a message.
Children under 10 should never cross the street alone. Hold the hand of an adult when crossing.
Older children should always cross streets at the corner, using traffic signals and crosswalks whenever possible.
Stop at the curb or the edge of the road before crossing the street.
Look left, right and left again for traffic before crossing, even if crossing with the light. Continue to look while crossing. Watch for cars that are turning or backing up.
Make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them. Don't assume that because you can see the driver, the driver can see you.
Wear bright-colored clothing during the day. When walking at dawn, dusk or in bad weather, carry a flashlight and incorporate retro reflective materials on clothing, footwear and accessories. Children should never walk without adult supervision at night.
Do not run into the street or run while crossing.
Walk facing traffic, as far to the left as possible, when sidewalks are not available.
Do not play in driveways, unfenced yards, streets or parking lots.
Cross the street at least 10 feet in front of a school bus.
Look left, right and left again before crossing the street. Cross when the street is clear, and keep looking both ways while crossing. Walk, don't run.
Understand and obey traffic signals and signs.
Cross at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks when available. Do not enter the street from between parked cars or behind bushes or shrubs.
Stop at the curb, or at the edge of the road if there is no curb, before crossing the street. Never run into a street without stopping...even for a ball, pet or any other reason. Darting into the street accounts for the majority of child pedestrian fatalities.
Walk facing traffic, on sidewalks or paths. Walk as far to the left as possible if there are no sidewalks.
Watch for cars that are turning or backing up.
Practice these skills with your children hundreds of times and supervise them until they show you they are safe pedestrians.

ALAMEDA -- The Raiders left for Indianapolis on Friday without naming a starting quarterback and with what coach Dennis Allen called "a clear plan on what we're doing inside this building."
If that plan, as expected, includes Terrelle Pryor as the starting quarterback over Matt Flynn, it would be a national story should the Raiders manage an upset win over the Colts on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The outside world is skeptical. CBS analyst and former Raiders quarterback Rich Gannon was searching for answers when asked in a phone interview how a Pryor-at-quarterback scenario could be successful.
"The fact that he did play in a game last year, and that he did play in the preseason, that he's been around meetings, that's all positive," Gannon said. "The thing you worry about with a young guy like that is every year they pull the playbook on him and give him a new one.
"First (the offensive coordinator) was Hue Jackson, then it was Greg Knapp, and now it's Greg Olson. I'm a little worried about not having continuity, and quite frankly I don't think they're very talented at wide receiver or tight end."
Allen made it clear during training camp that Pryor would play in some situations as a non-starter to take advantage of his athletic skills. Olson installed pistol and read-option plays, and Pryor has also done some good work as a passer, most notably a 7-for-9, 93-yard effort against the Chicago Bears that included a 19-yard touchdown pass to Nick Kasa.
He followed that up by going 3 for 8 for 31 yards and an interception against the Seattle Seahawks, although Pryor did lead the Raiders to two field goals in three possessions.
NFL Films senior producer Greg Cosell has concerns about the Raiders defense keeping the score close and putting Pryor in situations where he needs to bring the team from behind by passing.
In a close game, Cosell is eager to see another read-option quarterback to go along with Washingotn's Robert Griffin III, the 49ers' Colin Kaepernick and Seattle's Russell Wilson, all of whom run variations of it in their systems.
"There's a school of thought for those who believe that the read option and its principles can be successful in the NFL that it stresses the defense in many ways," Cosell said in a phone interview. "Not only does it stress the defense in the run game, but also it provides better opportunities in the pass game."
Cosell said the passing game is enhanced because defenses must commit an extra defender toward the quarterback and linebackers are "paralyzed" at the thought of the quarterback running, opening up middle areas.
"Even though Pryor is not a very good thrower at this point, if you provide easier opportunities, the thought process is the quarterback could be successful," Cosell said. "No one would suggest he's going to be Tom Brady, but he could be successful."
Colts coach Chuck Pagano believes defending Pryor will be a challenge.
"They do a great job of moving Terrelle around on bootlegs and rollouts and in the read option," Pagano said. "Sometimes when he drops back to pass, he can take off. You have to be disciplined with your pass rush to contain this guy. He can scramble to run or scramble to throw the thing down the field."
Gannon, who'll provide analysis for CBS on Sunday in Indianapolis, believes Pryor's success will be related to the success of a power running game the Raiders have been working on in training camp.
"I think the way it can work is if both backs, (Darren) McFadden and (Rashad) Jennings, get off to a terrific start, go to play action, then get the quarterback on the move and let him do the things he's comfortable doing," Gannon said.
In a national conference call, CBS analyst and former Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher said he believes Allen's strategy of keeping the starter a secret is because the Raiders will end up playing both Pryor and Flynn.
"My interpretation of that whole situation in Oakland is that I don't think anybody won the job," Cowher said.
Added CBS colleague and former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms: "It's an incredible situation to be in the NFL with a quarterback situation like they've got."
Practice squad tackle Matt McCants is expected to be officially promoted Saturday to be the third tackle. Strong side linebacker Sio Moore (foot) is questionable and will be a game time decision. Kaluka Maiava will start if Moore can't play.

Old English trēowe, trȳwe 'steadfast, loyal'; related to Dutch getrouw, German treu, also to truce.
From the same root as truce (Middle English) and truth, this originally meant 'loyal or steadfast'. Over time this gradually led to the idea of being reliable or honest, and then to that of truthfulness. The idea behind many a true word is spoken in jest is found in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales in the late 14th century, but the modern form of the proverb first appeared in print in the 17th century.
