CHAR- SALISH KOOTENAI AND PEND'd ORI ELLES TRIBES CHARLO KOOSTAHTAH KOOSTA SMIM 11 (Salish: News) Volume 3 - Number 5 NEW MOON OF THE SERVICEBERRY (July 1 ,1973) Pricel5 cents Powwow Starts Monday, Rodeo Gets Off Tuesday Arlee: The traditional early July Arlee Pow-Wow gets under way tomorrow (July 2 ) with dancing and games and will continue through July 8 with contests and a two day rodeo. Games and dancing will continue throughout the seven day course of the Pow-Wow with the $1500 Championship Indian Dance Contest slated for July 7. Rodeo events will start July 3 at 7 :0 0 p.m. and will continue through July 4 starting at 2 :00 p.m. Final go rounds for rodeo prizes will be held during the evening of July 4. The annual Fourth of July Parade will begin at noon at the north end of Arlee and will promenade down main street (Highway 9 3 ) one time and end at the Pow-Wow grounds east of town. During the parade, traffic will be routed west of town to avoid a bottleneck on the highway. Dance contestants are asked to register for the championship by noon, July 3. Rodeo contestants must also be entered by noon, July 3. Dancing and the dance contest this year will be held in a new 80 by 120 foot steel beam roofed pavilion at the east end of the Pow-Wow grounds. The new building will be fenced in and admission to the dancing will be $ 1 for adults and 5 0 cents for children. Dance tickets will be good for the entire seven days of the Pow-Wow. The rodeo, in its second year as a Pow-Wow attraction is also to be held on new turf. The TOT) yard cyclone fenced all steel chute arena will seat 2,0 0 0 spectators and is regarded as one of the best in the area. The Indian Rodeo Cowboy's Association rodeo last year attracted some 150 performers from all over the northwest and Canada. Admission to the rodeo will be $2 for adults and $1 for children per day. New buildings on the Pow Wow grounds will also include a fully enclosed concrete block teen center. .. a roofed dining area with five concession stands ....a fence enclosed beer stand ....nine outhouses and one rest room....and a first aid station and office. The improvements, which will also include a well, watermain and camping spigots, were paid for by a $ 1 3 0 ,0 0 0 judgement fund appropriation by the Tribal Council. Pow Wow planning this year was delegated to an indépendant Pow-Wow committee. The committee was appointed by the Council last summer to draw up plans and oversee improvements to the Pow-Wow grounds and to supervise the event. The job of building/a new rodeo arena and scheduling rodeo events was appointed to a rodeo committee./The two committees worked together and shared the budget./ Camping facilities, including water, wood, meat and spuds and tipi poles, have been provided on the east side of the grounds. Tipis will be clustered just east of the main dance pavilion with trailers and tents located further east. Parking and traffic will be routed around the camp to prevent disturbance to campers. More on POW-WOW starting on page 6 — A look at pow wows past,, Program, map, pictures Results of Saturday's 90% Payout Election Tribal Member voters went to the polls Saturday to decide whether or not to distribute 90 per cent of reservation revenues. The ballot at the eight reservation polling places gave voters the choice of approving the following ordinance: "Be it enacted by the Tribal Council of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes; that: 1. Ninety percent of tribal income shall be paid out per capita. 2. Ten percent of trival income shall be retained for administrative putposes to be expended as the Tribal Council determines in the Tribe's best interest. 3. No expenditure shall be made from reserve funds unless approved by the people in a referendum". Results of the election were: B-U-L-L-E-T-I-N PASSED. ABOUT 40 PERCENT OF THE ELIGIBLE VOTERS BALLOTED 363 FOR THE MEASURE, 217 AGAINST. Tribal Budget $490,637, A Pinch Above 10 Percent Dixon (June 15): After a month of budgetary dieting, pruning and hacking, the Tribal Council Friday approved a$490,637 operating budget for fiscal year 19 7 4. The Council had deliberated over the budget so long in an attempt to squeeze it within the ten percent tribal expenditure target set in February. As approved, tne budget is some $68 thousand over the ten percent figure of $ 4 8 8,3 5 0. However, an accounting error discovered later reduced expenditures some $50,130 and the use of federal revenue sharing monies brought the budget within $2,283 of the target figure. The $ 4 8 8,3 5 0 represents ten percent of $4,883,499, which is the estimated tribal income for fiscal year 1974. The bulk of tribal revenues ... $3,500,000...will come from timber and another $ 1,10 6,6 9 5 will be provided from business leases ($ 9 5 0,0 0 0 of that from the Montana Power Company lease for Kerr Dam). The budget must still be approved by the Department of Interior before the funds can be transferred from the tribe's account with the U.S. Treasury. It is also contingent on the results of the June 30 tribal resolution referendum to distribute 90% of reservation revenues. If the 9 0 % proposition passes (the election was held while Char-Koosta was going to press, see page one for results) tribal expenditures will have to be reduced to ten percent. This would mean the $2,283 deficit (cont. on page 3)

This drug is pretty expensive. But, once the insurance started working with me. I was able to afford it. The only really bad side effect for me was heartburn. It didn't matter what I ate. I could have even drank water, and it would cause it. The doctor told me to take Zantac 150mg up to 2 times a day. One in the morning and one at night.

This time last year I purchased a new Browning Maxus with a 28" barrel, 3.5 chamber and MODB Camo.
As far as shooting goes, I've put hundreds and hundreds of clays rounds through it, and a season's worth of 3" and 3.5" duck and goose loads. Super hot summer days down to single digit winter mornings and it hasn't jammed, stuck or slowed down.
I grew up shooting pump 3" guns and I would liken the kick of the 3.5" shell through the Maxus to a 3" shell through my old Mossberg 500.
Went back and forth quite a lot on camo finish vs. black and haven't been disappointed, but I'm still not sure that I care too much. It is nice to have that little bit of extra insurance of super wet/muddy days though.
Easy enough to tear down that a quick clean up and wipe down are a no-brainer after each hunt.
Some nice little features like the magazine cut-off are pretty useful too.
I got super nit-picky...down to the placement of the safety (behind the trigger) to make my decision. Take your time and have fun.
Good luck!
-God Bless

Thanks for the info guys...
Myself I have only shot the Versas Max once during a layout shoot last year and it handled and performed well but with the early issues with the gun and Remintons rep not what it used to be I just want to look at other options. Overall its looks like all the makes have some degree on issues but it how they are dealt with to me is more important.
I am heading to a shop on Friday that has there own outdoor shooting range so I can shoot a couple of different guns.....

As both a Browning and Beretta owner, I don't think you can go wrong with either. I too, would avoid any newer Remington as their Q.C. has been less than ideal for the last several years (Freedom Arms Group). I had firing issues with my Xtrema 2 and sent it in (free of charge) and got it back with a new firing pin and bolt pin. This fixed the problem and only cost nothing more than a little time to get it done. Since then, the gun has performed flawlessly and is my favorite waterfowl and turkey gun. As far as the Brownings go, I have a 3.5" Silver that has been absolutely flawless, simple to clean and a joy to shoot. Like I said earlier, you can't really go wrong with either 'B' gun. Good Luck!

Elon Musk's space company will sue the U.S. Air Force to protest a Lockheed Martin-Boeing team's monopoly on Pentagon satellite launches, the billionaire said Friday.
"These launches should be competed," he told reporters at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. "If we compete and lose, that is fine. But why would they not even compete it?"
Musk's Space Exploration Technologies, known as SpaceX, is trying to break the joint venture's lock on U.S. military satellite launches, which have an estimated value of $70 billion through 2030. He has said competition in that market could save taxpayers more than $1 billion a year.
Also Friday, Sen. John McCain,R- Arizona,, asked the Pentagon's inspector general in a letter to investigate developments in the Air Force's launch program. He questioned the lack of competition in the program.
Hawthorne-based SpaceX plans to file its suit Monday in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. It seeks to reopen competition for a military contract to joint venture United Launch Alliance for 36 rocket cores, said Ian Christopher McCaleb, senior vice president at Levick, a public relations firm representing SpaceX.
The Air Force agreed to the bulk purchase of the main rocket components last year in an attempt to hold down costs.
"This contract is costing U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars for no reason," said Musk, who earlier Friday made a presentation at the U.S. Export-Import Bank's annual conference.
Mark Bitterman, a spokesman for United Launch Alliance, said the military's "robust acquisition and oversight process," as well as the company's improved performance, led to $4 billion in savings compared with prior acquisition approaches.
The joint venture recognizes the Pentagon's "plan to enable competition and is ready and willing to support missions with same assurance that we provide today," Bitterman said in an email.
Matthew Stines, an Air Force spokesman, said in an email that the service has "no formal statement" on Musk's announcement of the SpaceX lawsuit.
SpaceX will require three successful launches as part of the process to win U.S. certification, the service has said. Technical reviews and audits of the proposed rockets, ground systems and manufacturing process also are needed, according to the Air Force.
Musk, also chairman and chief executive officer of Tesla Motors, told U.S. lawmakers last month that the Lockheed-Boeing venture's Atlas V rockets uses engines from Russia, posing supply risks following the country's invasion and annexation of Crimea.
The U.S. and Europe have been considering a possible expansion of sanctions against Russia.
Pentagon officials have asked the Air Force to review whether the use of Russian engines for the military launches poses a national security risk.

Justin Timberlake is ready to make music again.
Translation: Maybe this acting thing didn't go the way I planned.
In an black-and-white clip in which the camera follows Timberlake as he walks into the studio, the singer-actor talks about where his music career went.
"Someone asked me the other day, 'So are you just done with music?'" he says softly, his slight Southern accent audible. "It means more to me than anybody else in the world."
Have you broke that news to the new wife yet, JT?
"Like I've only done two albums in 10 years, that's the way I really look at it," he said on. "What does the next decade mean for me?
"I'm the one who sits and is obsessive about it before you even get to hear it," Timberlake said. "As close as I get to it, I don't know that I could physically torture myself that much year in and year out and expect it to fulfill me the way that it does and the way that it is right now.
"I don't wanna put anything out that I feel like is something that I don't love," he says. "You just don't get that every day. You have to wait for it. I'm ready."
Translation: Maybe this acting thing didn't go the way I planned.
There's now an official countdown to something. When we hear, you'll hear.

And you're quite right the owl outside your window probably was wooing indeed! Courtship is already well underway for many species of owls...couples will be incubating eggs very soon. Owls breed very early in the season so that they when spring proper begins and rabbits and such are emerging and beginning to make babies they can take full advantage of the easy hunting to feed their hatchlings.
Yay, bird thread! *Sniff* I thought this day would never come...

You know those 10,000 La Potencia t-shirts the A's were going to give away on Saturday -- the ones that were supposed to honor Yoenis Cespedes for the contributions he made to back-to-back American League West titles in Oakland?
Well, Cespedes might be in the middle of the Boston Red Sox batting order by then -- he was traded there Thursday for pitcher Jon Lester and outfielder Jonny Gomes -- but the A's still plan to give away the t-shirts. And now that they are collector's items, you might want to line up early to get them.
In addition to trades and t-shirt giveaways, the A's also found time to announce on Thursday that they've added a new t-shirt giveaway to their promotional calendar. Next Thursday, 15,000 fans will receive a Josh Donaldson Silhouette t-shirt prior to their 7:05 game with the Minnesota Twins.
There also is a special $10 ticket offer for field level tickets at that game while supplies last.

With recent temperatures dropping well below zero, Eagle County Animal Services is offering winter weather reminders for caring for pets.
According to Animal Services Director Shawn Markmann, Colorado mountain winters are too cold for most pets to be left outside for any length of time without adequate shelter.
Use these tips to keep pets safe and healthy:
• If your pet does not have access to the indoors, provide a heated dog house, garage or other warm area that offers protection from the elements. Wind and precipitation quickly produce life-threatening circumstances for pets.
• Even brief exposure to sub-zero temperatures can lead to frostbite of the feet, nose or ears. Frost-bitten skin appears red, gray or whitish and may peel off. Prevent frostbite by removing ice and snow from paws and fur right away. If you suspect frostbite, contact your veterinarian.
• Do not leave antifreeze, coolant or windshield wiper fluid within reach and do not let pets drink from puddles. These products often taste appealing to pets but can be lethal. Thoroughly clean any spills from your vehicle and keep your pets on a leash outdoors so you can steer them away from puddles.
• Outdoor cats and wild animals sometimes climb onto car engines or beneath cars to seek warmth. Bang on the hood of your car or honk the horn before starting the engine to warn animals away.
• Many de-icing and ice-melting products are toxic to the touch. Read the labels of any products you use, and store these products in tight containers. Wipe your pet's paws after contact with ice-melting substances.

The Porchlight Players will present "The Full Monty," as the third annual Valentine's Day Dinner Theater production.
Performance dates are Friday through Sunday, Feb. 8-10, and Friday through Sunday, Feb. 15-17, at the Brush Creek Pavilion in Eagle Ranch.
"The Full Monty" tells the story of six men who lose their jobs at a factory to a bad economy. The Chippendales come to town, and one of the unemployed men gets the idea that if he could get some guys together, they could earn an easy $50,000 in one night if they put on a Chippendales-like show. The ladies of the town let them know that they don't have what it takes to sell tickets, so Jerry promises they'll go all the way, "The Full Monty." Ticket sales boom while the guys each grapple with their own fears and insecurities, none of them 100 percent sure they can do this show.
Performance tickets include dinner, dessert, three drinks (beer, wine or soft drinks) plus the show, for $50 per person. All shows have sold out the last two years, so be sure to get your place at the table. Tickets are available at the group's website, www.porchlightplayers.com.

Some facts about the Half Moon Bay giant pumpkin weigh-off.
--The first contest was held in 1974. John Minaidas of Half Moon Bay won with a 132-pound pumpkin. In 1984 the winner weighed 612 pounds. In 2001 grower Steve Daletas from Oregon was the first to crack 1,000 pounds at the contest with a pumpkin weighing 1,016 pounds.
--Portola Valley grower Eric Carlson won the "prettiest pumpkin" award for the fourth time Monday with a bright orange, 380-pound Atlantic Giant called Eye Candy. For this category, Carlson aims for pumpkins that are about 40-45 days old, before they get so big their skin starts to "canteloupe," or become visibly rough.
--The last decade of winners of the Half Moon Bay giant pumpkin weigh-off:
2012: Thad Starr, Pleasant Hill, Ore. --1,775 pounds
2011: Leonardo Urena, Napa, Calif. -- 1,704 pounds
2010: Ron Root, Citrus Heights, Calif. -- 1,535 pounds
2009: Don Young, Des Moines, Iowa -- 1,658 pounds
2008: Thad Starr, Pleasant Hill, Ore. --1,528 pounds
2007: Thad Starr, Pleasant Hill, Ore. --1,524 pounds
2006: Joel Holland, Puyallup, Wash. -- 1,223 pounds

Ever since President Obama announced in his State of the Union address an initiative to encourage states to create a universal preschool program, early childhood education has become a hot topic of debate.
In Summit County, educators and parents alike are voicing their support of the president's proposal. Though people such as state Rep. Millie Hamner (D-Dillon) are working to amend state law to alleviate the problem, the fact still stands that the demand for preschool programs in Summit County is outstripping the availability, even with programs like Head Start and local scholarships.
"There is always more demand than what we can fulfill, due to space and requirements and funding and all of that business," said Upper Blue Elementary principal Kerry Buhler. Upper Blue currently hosts two preschool programs.
Yet despite the difficulties, research has shown that attending preschool benefits children in the long run. This has not escaped the notice of the Summit County community, which continues to strongly support early childhood education.
The Colorado Preschool Program (CPP) provides funding for preschool for at-risk children throughout the state. Factors that make a child at-risk include eligibility for free or reduced meals, need for language development, poor social skills, frequent home relocation, homelessness and abusive family situations. The 2011/12 year saw 19,480 children throughout Colorado enrolled in the program. However, between 6,455-14,290 at-risk 4-year-olds have not had access to preschool through CPP or similar programs, according to CPP data.
Hamner hopes to amend this, working closely with state Sen. Mike Johnston (D-Denver) to revise the Colorado School Finance Act and link to a citizen's initiative ballot question in November which, if funded, would fund all-day kindergarten for all Colorado students and preschool programs for at-risk 4-year-olds.
"There's a fairly extensive waiting list right now for at-risk 3- and 4-year-olds to get into our CPP," Hamner said. "That's a really serious concern to me, because the at-risk children who are not able to access quality early childhood programs are more likely to have the negative outcomes of not being ready for kindergarten, not reading at grade level in third grade and not graduating from high school. It's just really important that we're able to intervene early in the lives of children."
Hamner is also working on a bill to align childhood development programs under the umbrella of the Colorado Department of Human Services. The bill recently passed its second reading in the House.
"By aligning the early childhood development programs, we will advance and improve early childhood support programs and services particularly for Colorado's at-risk populations," Hamner stated in a release on the Colorado Democrats' website.
Children in Summit County can take advantage of both the CPP and Head Start programs. While CPP is funded by the state, Head Start is federally funded to serve children of very low-income families.
Summit School District currently has 10 integrated preschool classrooms, which can take up to 165 students. Right now, 160 of those spots are filled. That doesn't mean there aren't children available to fill those positions, however. According to the district's early childhood coordinator, Beth O'Riley, those spaces are required to remain open just in case a child comes along that qualifies for preschool by state or federal standards.
"We have to keep some spaces open because any time a child qualifies for special needs, then we have to be able to offer them a spot, regardless of what time of year it is," O'Riley said. "So we always keep some slots open for those children."
"The children with the greatest need get those slots," said Elizabeth Lowe, Head Start director at Early Childhood Options in Summit County. "But there's certainly a lot of other children who would qualify," if more funding was available.
Funding is the key word when it comes to preschool students. If a child in Summit County doesn't qualify for aid from CPP or Head Start, he or she may still be able to receive one of a handful of scholarships offered by local organizations such as The Summit Foundation and town and county governments.
The last option is parent-paid tuition, or no preschool at all.
"There has to be a funding source for a child in preschool," O'Riley said.
"We have parents calling to look for childcare and preschool all the time," said Lucinda Burns, executive director of Early Childhood Options. "One of their main frustrations is that the spots at the school district, where they really want their children to go, are just too limited."
Often, not getting those slots in the school district means no preschool, Burns said, because the families can't afford the private options.
The idea behind President Obama's plan is for states to provide funding universally for preschool students, much as they do with grades K through 12. It is not clear yet whether all the funding would come from the states or if they will work together with the federal government.
"Universal preschool would be excellent, I think, for lots of different reasons," said Lowe.
One of these is, of course, funding.
"Right now, there is preschool programming at some of the elementary schools and the community childcare programs, but one of the greatest barriers is paying for that. Accessing quality childcare, if it was something universal, that was provided, that would be excellent."
Experts across the nation are debating if and how much a preschool education benefits children, both while entering kindergarten and throughout the rest of their schooling.
"Research indicates that early childhood education is crucial toward future academic success," said Summit School District superintendent Heidi Pace. "The district supports any increased funding for 3- and 4-year-olds in a qualified preschool program."
Some opponents of the universal plan have disputed this research, stating that the learning edge gained during preschool "fades out" around third grade, essentially leveling the academic playing field. But Burns disputes these findings.
"That's a widely misunderstood piece of research," she said. "There really isn't a fade-out effect. What we are sometimes neglectful in doing is making sure the K-3 system is just as high quality as the birth-to-5 system."
"There's so much research on the benefits of early childhood services," she continued. "The trick is it's not just any program, it's about quality."
O'Riley said that she's seen an increasing trend in parents enrolling their children in preschool programs.
"I do think the trend is you see more children in preschool because I think parents and society are seeing the benefits and I don't think they realized that 20 years ago," she said. "Years ago people just saw preschool and day care as more play time, but now we know through all the research that that's how children learn."
Buhler agrees.
"I think that parents more and more are realizing the benefits of preschool, not just as childcare but as a way for their child to really be ready for what school is all about," she said, "and not just academically - that's certainly a piece of it - but more about the social and emotional things that kids learn at school."
Parent Caitlin Woodward said that one reason she enrolled her son Forrest in preschool was to increase his social interaction, not only with other children but also other adults.
"It just seemed like the perfect option," Woodward said. "It's been great."
Forrest attends preschool at Frisco Elementary with Kirista Bradford's daughter, Jenavive. Bradford said that she wanted a school-like environment for Jenavive, which she feels the program provides.
"I really wanted to get her in here because it has a great reputation for being a really good school and it's in more of an academic atmosphere," she said.
The hard part, Bradford said, was getting her daughter into the program, due to the limited space available. She applied at the beginning of the summer and got the acceptance phone call the day before school started.
"When I got the phone call from Miss Kathy the day before school, I expected it to be the explanation that she's on a waiting list and whether she may or may not get in, the likeliness of that really happening, but I expected it to be slim to none," Bradford said. "So that was definitely a pleasant surprise."
Whether or not the president's universal preschool plan is realized, it's clear that community will continue to play an important role in early childhood education.
"I have always been a supporter of preschool and feel that is very necessary and very important for a community to have," said Christine Boettcher, executive director of the Open Arms Childcare and Preschool in Breckenridge.
Fortunately for those living in Summit County, early childhood education appears to be a high priority for the community.
"We are so lucky that we live in a community that really supports the children and families in Summit County, and we have historically done that," Burns said. "For the most part, regardless of your political affiliation, you understand that investing in children has pay-off, whether you have a family or not."
However, there's still a ways to go, educators say.
"Summit County has strongly supported early childhood, through Early Childhood Options and our preschool programs," said O'Riley, "but we definitely are still a long way from there. We're not reaching all 4-year-olds yet; hopefully some day in the future we will be able to. Like Obama said, the more you spend in early education, the less you have to spend in later years."
It's smart, but it's also the right thing to do, in the opinion of some educators.
"Not only do kids need preschool but they really deserve the opportunity to access preschool," Buhler said, and reiterated the support the preschool programs have received from the county.
"But we're still missing kids," she added. "We're still missing families. Sometimes it's because they don't know and sometimes it's because they can't. The idea of universal preschool and what it offers for kids, I think it's what they deserve."
Burns echoed her sentiment.
"It's hard to look at a group of children and say, three of you deserve preschool and five of you don't," she said. "If they all have access to quality, they'll all have an equal chance of succeeding."

The staff at the Madelia Community Hospital & Clinic will implement visitor restrictions effective immediately. This action is being taken in response to the large number of influenza cases being seen in the region. Visitation will be restricted as follows:
Only immediate family members permitted (Patient spouse or significant other, parent, sibling of child)
No children under the age of five
Only two visitors per patient at a time
No one who is ill (i.e. Symptoms of influenza including fever or chills, muscle or body aches, sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, headache and fatigue) will be permitted to visit
These restrictions apply to all patients in all areas of the hospitals, including staff members.
Since the start of the influenza season, more than 575 people in Minnesota have been hospitalized with laboratory-confirmed influenza, according the Minnesota Department of Health. Since the start of the influenza season there have been 31 outbreaks of influenza and four influenza-related deaths that have been reported in the state.
"Getting a flu shot is one of the most effective ways for each of us to avoid getting the flu and spreading the illness to others," says Dr. Owadini Bandara.
Supplies of the flu vaccine are plentiful and readily available. Anyone interested in a flu shot can stop by or call Madelia Community Hospital & Clinic at 507-642-3255.
Officials remind the public, in addition to getting the seasonal flu vaccine; there are other steps everyone can take to prevent contracting and spreading the flu. They include:
Cover your cough
Wash your hands with warm water and soap, or use an alcohol-based sanitizer
If you aren't feeling well, stay home
If your children are ill, keep them at home
The seasonal flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza (flu) viruses. It can cause mild to severe illness, and at times can lead to death.
The signs and symptoms of the seasonal flu include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.

microphone not working in Skype..
After installing the new distribution 12.04, everything works fine, except for the microphone in Skype. The video and speakers work ok, though.
Everything works good on Google Talk. Audacity shows that the internal microphone works on the laptop. I have been playing around with alsa mixer and pulse audio control but still can't do anything. I tried uninstalling skype and installing the newest version... which isn't for 12.04 specifically.
Is there a specific command that I could use in a terminal, or should I just ditch Skype and use Google Talk?
Any advice would be usefull, since I can't understand why it worked in previous distributions. Maybe it is a bug in skype.

The most common causes of CKD are high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Chronic kidney disease can also be caused by infections or urinary blockages.
Am I at risk for CKD?
You may be at risk if someone in your family has CKD or if you have diabetes or if you have high blood pressure. Talk to your doctor about your risk factors. It is important to diagnose CKD early.

About one in five Americans buys individual health insurance or is completely uninsured. Starting on Jan. 1, just about everyone in the U.S. will be required to have health insurance. It's one of the main provisions of the Affordable Care Act. Consumer Reports finds that most people are confused about how the new law affects them.
Each state now has a kind of virtual insurance store, or martketplace. There, you can compare plans and learn whether you qualify for financial assistance.
If your current plan is really expensive or excludes a lot of services, you may find that you qualify for a better plan at a lower cost on your state's marketplace. But not everyone needs to shop for new insurance.
Most Americans already have insurance, either through their own or someone else's job or through a government program such as Medicare or Medicaid. They probably won't have to do anything, but it never hurts to check.
To find out what you need to do, Consumer Reports has designed a free online tool called the Health Law Helper. You just have to answer some simple questions. Then click to get your results. You'll learn the options you have to help you comply with the law. And you'll get information about the next steps to take.
Consumer Reports notes that this year only, you'll have until the end of March to purchase insurance through the marketplace.

I think the 16th will be a good day for the meeting, if we can find another place that might be better and more stable, then we can switch when we need to.

Find the date you agree upon and I will call and ask if that day/time is free. I may be able to get some free pizza wings and drinks. Just let me know which day to ask for and time of day .
*edit* I see the 16th is out there, I will call him Monday if I don't see him on Saturday

Peter Knight's Gigspanner
Featuring Peter Knight, fiddler and vocalist of Steeleye Span. Having now clocked up almost 40 years with Steeleye Span, fiddle player Peter Knight's name and reputation are known to most people with an interest in traditional music. His idiosyncratic style, which effortlessly traverses several genres has been an inspiration to many, and yet to a great extent the full range of his playing is still largely unknown. That is about to change... Wishing to create an opportunity to explore more fully the areas of Music that interest him, Peter created his own trio 'Gigspanner' where he is joined by guitarist Roger Flack and Afro-Percussionist Vincent Salzfaas, who are, in the words of festival organiser Geoff Boudreau 'both powerful and intelligent musicians in their own right'. Together they explore traditional music and song and their related themes with energy, brilliance and spontaneity. World music, classical, African, folk-rock, Cuban sounds, they all make up the Gigspanner mix. Hailed by 'Songlines' Magazine as 'another milestone in folk's rebirth of cool moment', Peter Knight's Gigspanner is rapidly gaining a reputation for leaving audiences completely spellbound with life enriching takes on British traditional and world music. This is a Trio that is touching hearts, minds and souls.

Dunamare Education Group was formed in 2007 after the merger of three secondary educational systems in and around Haarlem, Netherlands. It now has 24 secondary schools and provides high-quality education for 13,000 students. Dunamare wanted to
find a way to expand its communications beyond telephones and email to help its teachers and administrators work together to solve problems in and out of the classroom. With the help of Microsoft Partner Network member Wortell, Dunamare decided to deploy Microsoft
Lync Server 2013 to provide administrators and teachers with more innovative ways to communicate and collaborate in the learning environment, while also reducing telephony costs. The school has increased use of videoconferencing and desktop sharing to improve
its ability to solve problems and foster deeper relationships among staff.
Headquartered in Haarlem, Netherlands, the Dunamare Education Group oversees educational programs for 24 secondary schools in 36 locations across the region. Its 1,400 teachers and administrators serve approximately 13,000 students through college preparatory
and vocational programs designed to fit students' needs. As part of the merger that formed the Dunamare Educational Group, all of the schools involved set a goal to provide an innovative and widely accessible education for students. The group knew that this
goal would require it to look for ways to incorporate technology into its learning environment, and that it would require teachers to collaborate on new and innovative lesson plans.
In 2009, to help achieve its technology goals, Dunamare decided to outsource its IT environment to a local IT service provider. It chose to partner with Wortell, a member of the Microsoft Partner Network with multiple Gold competencies. Wortell brings knowledge
of the latest innovations and is able to ensure that IT resources at Dunamare are being managed using best practices. "Dunamare wants to be a forerunner in information technology, and we felt that a knowledgeable partner would help us do that," says Bas Groeneveld,
Chief Technology Officer at Dunamare. "Wortell really understands our needs. They are a true partner."
Teachers and administrators were relying primarily on email and the telephone to communicate with one another. The real challenge for Dunamare was its voice solution: each of its 36 locations had its own telephony system to manage, with different providers
and contracts for varying levels of service. In addition, local calls in the Netherlands are not toll-free; customers are charged on a per-minute basis for every call they make, which meant that teachers had to consider the expense before using the phone to
collaborate on lesson plans.
Dunamare needed a centralized communications system that teachers and staff could use without having to worry about costs. But more than just lowering costs, the group consciously wanted to adopt the latest technology—such as instant messaging and presence—that
could help its teachers communicate more efficiently, and possibly provide new, innovative methods for extending the classroom environment for students. Because Dunamare was created by merging three school districts, it wanted a communications environment
that would help build and strengthen relationships among its staff.
To address these communications issues, Dunamare deployed Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007 R2 (now called Lync Server) for its voice, videoconferencing, instant messaging (IM), and desktop sharing capabilities. All 1,400 teachers and administrative
staff have access to the full suite of Lync Server capabilities. Students also have access to Lync when they are at school. To make voice calls through Lync Server, staff members can elect to use their Lync softphone with a headset or a USB phone. As more
teachers adopted the voice solution, Dunamare removed its desk phones.
Teachers and administrators immediately took advantage of the presence, instant messaging, desktop sharing, and click-to-call capabilities to communicate with one another. They can now discuss educational programs, coordinate lesson plans, and discuss students'
progress, even beyond regular school hours. They are also using Exchange Unified Messaging to track and manage voice mail and email that comes in throughout the day, all through the Microsoft Outlook messaging and collaboration client, Outlook Web App, or
from their mobile phones.
To facilitate meetings between teachers and administrative staff at different schools within the system, Dunamare uses a Polycom CX5000 conference phone with a built-in 360-degree camera that follows the conversation and provides a close-up view of speakers'
faces so that participants can easily identify one another and follow the conversation. With this technology, members of the staff can join or leave meetings at will, or they can review sessions they missed.
Dunamare has now upgraded its deployment to Microsoft Lync Server 2013 to take advantage of the latest communications capabilities that Microsoft has to offer. Dunamare plans to expand the use of videoconferencing, desktop sharing, and mobile access.
Lync Server 2013 includes many architecture improvements that Dunamare is using to ensure the reliability of its communications. It has deployed two pools of servers; the individual pools host accounts and have extra capacity in the event of a server failure.
If an entire pool goes down, then the users will transfer to the second pool without a loss of functionality.
Administrators and teachers use the Lync 2013 desktop client to communicate from school or from the office, and about 100 people use Lync Mobile on their smartphones to extend their IM, presence, and conferencing capabilities. Dunamare has also tested Sennheiser
headsets with its Lync 2013 deployment.
Lync Mobile will provide advantages, too. "All of the schools are anticipating the Lync 2013 mobile client," says Groeneveld. "We have not deployed any Wi-Fi phones at this point, and the schools are looking forward to making calls over our wireless networks."
The updated mobile client also improves the conferencing experience by delivering video in addition to the audio content.
Dunamare has seen an increase in the use of videoconferencing since deploying Lync 2013. The gallery view enables administrators to see up to five video streams so that they can see the reactions of others to the presentation, identify the active speaker,
and associate names with faces. The contact card has an option for video calling, making it much easier to initiate a video call by just hovering over a colleague's name and selecting video. "Our Board of Directors, comprised of the 24 school principals, is
now using videoconferencing for their meetings to make it easy for everyone to join even if they cannot attend in person," says Groeneveld.
As in many schools, the Microsoft OneNote note-taking program is very popular among teachers and administrators. Dunamare is taking advantage of the interoperation between OneNote and Lync to create and share notes during meetings.
By deploying Lync Server 2013, Dunamare has helped improve collaboration among teachers and reduced the costs of its traditional telephony solution. "Lync Server 2013 provides us with highly reliable communications that are easy to use," says Groeneveld. "We
are doing a lot more videoconferencing and desktop sharing than we did in the past, and it really makes a difference in resolving issues and strengthening relationships."
Increased Efficiency and Collaboration
A primary goal for Dunamare in deploying a unified communications solution was to help increase efficiency and collaboration for administrators and teachers. Because educators can see their colleagues' presence information at any time of day, they
can connect with one another in a way that is less formal and more conducive to promoting innovation and better relationships. "With Lync Server 2013, educators can communicate without having to reach for the phone, which can be like an invisible wall," says
Danny Burlage, Chief Technology Officer and Founder at Wortell.
Lync has helped to expand the use of videoconferencing at the schools. "Video is easy to use in Lync; you just make one click," says Groeneveld. "The image quality we get from our Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 is amazing."
Not only is video easy to initiate, the gallery view really enriches the experience. "It sounds simple, but using a photo or video to highlight when someone is talking really improves the conference call experience," says Groeneveld. "I don't have to figure
out who is speaking because the person's name and face are right there. I focus on what really matters."
Reduced Telephony Costs by 20 Percent
Because teachers and administrators from different schools can use instant messaging or click-to-call capabilities in Lync instead of relying on the telephone, Dunamare estimates that it has saved 20 percent on tolls for local calls. And because the
voice solution in Lync is centralized in one data center and needs to be connected only to one telephony system, Dunamare has consolidated its contracts with telephony providers, which also provides substantial savings.
Dunamare strives to provide innovative and widely accessible education for all of its students. With the Lync communications solution from Microsoft, it can continue to develop innovative and interesting ways to educate students well into the future.
Microsoft Lync Server 2013
Microsoft Lync Server 2013 ushers in a new connected user experience that transforms every communication into an interaction that is more collaborative and engaging—and that is accessible from anywhere. For IT, the benefits are equally powerful, with a highly
secure and reliable communications system that works with existing tools and systems for easier management, lower cost of ownership, smoother deployment and migration, and greater choice and flexibility.

Knitter's Review
June 1, 2006
Anyone who thinks knitting is a peaceful, low-impact activity has obviously never knit socks on DPNs.
Sure, the knitting itself looks innocent enough. But during their off hours, those DPNs can cause all sorts of mischief. This week I review a simple tool that keeps project-laden DPNs out of harm's way.

Europe's planetary scientists meet MEPs, thanks to STS student
4 February 2011
STS Year 3 undergraduate Veronika Raszler has just organised a dinner debate at the European Parliament in Brussels for the Europlanet network of European planetary scientists.
Europe is now recognised as a valued partner in planetary exploration by
the American space agency NASA, and its expertise is much in demand by
Japan, China and India, countries that are fast developing their own
scientific programmes.
The dinner organised by Veronika (on February 2) was attended by Members
of the European Parliament, Europlanet members from across the EU, and
representatives of the European space and exploration industry. Britta
Thomsen MEP, who hosted the dinner, said: "Europe's space programme is a
standard-bearer for European research in all fields. European planetary
science is in front when considering innovation and development of
Veronika has learned a lot from her experience with the dinner debate.
"Organising the Europlanet Dinner Debate at the European Parliament was
a great - challenging but highly rewarding - experience, giving me
incomparably useful insight into the work of the EU institutions, as
well as EU-funded scientific organisations.
"Things I have seen and learned will definitely come handy for my
postgraduate studies and future career."
Steve Miller, Head of STS and Europlanet coordinator at UCL, said:
"Veronika has done an amazing job. Before she started making contacts last year, Europlanet knew no one in the European parliament. Now we are recognised as a force to consider in shaping European research policy, and we have a permanent welcome in the Parliament."

Supon Phornirunlit is the brains behind Naked Décor, a vibrant, fabulously fun collection of throw pillows, trays, clocks, lamps, ornaments, animal head wall mounts and other funky home decor. Born in Thailand, Supon came to the US to further his education – and liked it so much that he decided to stay. It's a decision that's definitely worked for him: his Supon Design Group won over 1,000 design awards in under 10 years, and his first collection of Naked Décor throw pillows – called Live Like A Queen – sold out repeatedly in 2007, the first year of production. Supon's range has expanded to encompass themes like the British Invasion, vintage flair, and an all-dog wall art collection, Pooch Decor, founded after the death of his beloved pup, Pica. Doxie the dachshund is a particular favorite on pillows, but for your walls you'll find all sorts of canine friends – pugs, Dalmatians, German shepherds and more – just waiting to bring a little friendliness (and flair!) into your home.
These styles will seriously elicit a smile
