Cuomo Signs Bill Putting More Speed Cameras in School Zones
Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into law Wednesday a bill that will deploy nearly 250 speed cameras to school zones on Long Island and in New York City.
The governor joined a handful of state legislators, the county executives from Nassau and Suffolk counties, students and activists at a press conference inside Bethpage High School's gymnasium in Nassau County to announce the safety measure.
The cameras will certainly boost local revenues since speeders will be issued $50 fines, according to state Assemblyman Chuck Lavine (D-Glen Cove), but legislators from both sides of the aisle agreed that safety was the priority.
"I have a very vivid recollection of having been a youngster … in about 1960, and my friends and I are playing ball in a school yard," Mr. Lavine said. "And we hear the screech of brakes. And we hear a scream. And one of our friends did not survive that particular day."
More than 200 cars a day exceed the school zone speed limit by 25 miles an hour in Nassau County, according to Nassau County Executive Ed Mangano, citing a recent traffic study.
"Speeding near a school is especially reckless," Mr. Cuomo said. "These cameras will save lives."
The cameras will operate during the school days as well as an hour before and after school, as well as a half hour before and after other school activities, according to Mr. Mangano.
"Take a few extra minutes to get where you need to be," said Suffolk County Executive Steve Bellone. "Because those minutes could save a life."
The danger of drivers speeding in school zones keeps parents up at night, said Karen Fikar, president of the Bethpage Council of Parent Teacher Associations and a mother of two students who will be attending the high school next year. Bethpage High School sits between two busy thoroughfares — Broadway and Stewart Avenue.
"Many students in this area actually walk to and from school every day," Ms. Fikar said. The bill is important, she added before introducing the governor, because "it will remind drivers that there is more at stake than their commute."
To critics of the new law, the governor had another message. "If you think speed laws are intrusive," Mr. Cuomo said, "don't break the law."

'The X-Factor,' Still More Auditions: TV Recap
Good news! Today is the last day of auditions. Next week we'll get into boot camp and more manufactured drama but it's bound to be great because Britney will be there.
Picking up where we left off, even better news! After all that unnecessary drama and alarm, young Trevor was merely dehydrated. He eventually takes the stage, rehydrated, we assume, and sings "Sexy and I Know It," totally hamming it up for the crowd, dancing, and working it out in ways that are not terribly age appropriate. The audience screams wildly (like they have for most of what we see during the auditions) and he gets a standing ovation from everyone in the audience. Trevor gets four yeses and L.A. says he embodies what X-Factor is about.
That is not necessarily a compliment when you think on it.
Owen just moved to Charlotte and he's separated from his girlfriend, Tori, in Buffalo and he is trying out because of that. The logic is not quite apparent but in Owen's world, auditioning will somehow convert into a plane ticket. Owen sings "Airplanes," and his voice isn't remarkable (a bit flat) but everyone seems to think he's cute which somehow translates into talent. Owen is all about turning water into wine. L.A. really enjoyed his performance. Britney was underwhelmed but the other judges all gave Owen yeses. Onward.
In 2009, Freddie Combs, 41, weighed 900 pounds. He has since lost 400 pounds but is still wheelchair bound. Simon remarks that Freddie looks much younger than his years and indeed he does. He's a cute guy and a minister. Freddie sings "Wind Beneath My Wings," and dedicates the song to his loving wife of sixteen years. Freddie's voice is decent, not overwhelmingly good but his story carries a lot of power. Simon challenges Freddie to get his "situation" sorted out which is British for keep losing weight and getting healthier, I believe. Freddie gets four yeses from the judges and he promises Simon and L.A. that he's going to keep up his weight loss.
After the break, there's a tragic performance reel. The judges rend their garments, lamenting about the lack of talent. Backstage a young man rips his shirt and spits at the camera as he tantrums his way out of the stadium. That's parallelism.
Lauren is auditioning to pursue her dreams. New drinking game for the season—every time a contestant mentions their hopes and/or dreams, drink! Lauren sings, "If I Ain't Got you," by Alicia Keys. Her voice is husky and tremulous. She has soul. The judges go crazy with the praise and she is sent forward with four resounding yeses.
Giggly 12-year old Jordyn is wearing pink and silver sparkles. She has her hair in pigtails and is just bursting with personality. When she bounces onto the stage you can see Simon visibly cringing. She sings, "Tomorrow," from the musical Annie, and unfortunately, she ruins the song because however charming she may be, singing well is not among her charms. When she belts she has a passable voice but then the performance takes a dangerous turn as Jordyn shares self-help affirmations before resuming singing. Simon is speechless after the performance. Demi says Jordyn is too cute and that she shines on stage. Britney says her voice is really beautiful. L.A. thinks she is a bundle of joy and is glad Jordyn sang a song Simon hates. When it's his turn to vote, Simon says he likes her but still votes no. L.A. is the deciding vote and he says yes. Jordyn cries and squeals and her family embraces Simon warmly. The grinch's heart swells uncomfortably.
We shall reconvene here next week for the first boot camp episodes. This is the best time of the television season—we haven't seen enough of any one show to be fully disillusioned yet. Let's enjoy this time while it lasts.

text: The Navigation Log : Tom and William, identical twins, are born as the church bells ring out the armistice of 1918. They are so alike that their nurse has to tie a label around Tom's ankle to tell them apart. Overlooked by their preoccupied mother and adulterous father, the brothers' bond is close, even as Tom becomes fascinated with airplanes while William is drawn to his own internal flights as a burgeoning poet. By the time the Second World War casts its shadow across England, the boys have gone their separate ways. Tom is a Spitfire pilot, entangled in the romantic pursuit of a tempestuous female pilot, and William, a schoolteacher at an unorthodox elementary school, has fallen in love with a young doctor. As the war intensifies, the brothers' worlds widen - Tom dogfights high above the coast of Kent, while William accompanies his headmaster and students in a lunatic pilgrimage across the bomb-strewn ground below - and then converge at Canterbury Cathedral, where they will cross paths one last, unforgettable time. Through Corrick's eyes, England is viewed with affection, humor, and lyricism that comes close to elegy. Vivid and wonderfully inventive, The Navigation Log marks the debut of a masterful storyteller.

The use of electronic devices when learning can become a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it serves to let the new generations stay more in touch with the academic world that is within the network. However, electronic devices like cell phones can become distracting in a class.

Latest update August 31st, 2016 12:55 AM
Oct 20, 2012 News Comments Off on Mash 2013 launched with calls for more support
Main Street was a buzz of activities yesterday as the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport launched Mashramani 2013. With a very visible police presence in the vicinity of the Culture Ministry, the launch offered a glimpse of the highly anticipated celebration which is intended to mark Guyana's 43rd Republic Anniversary on February 23 next year.
Spectators were treated to a programme of activities which entailed dances, drumming, singing and even a book launch all seeking to remind and at the same time highlight the intrigues of the event.
The launch also entailed the unveiling of the Mashramani logo by Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport, Dr. Frank Anthony, who alluded to the event as the largest festival on these shores. According to him the event is one that should always seek to promote Guyana's pride and patriotism even as he spoke of the Mashramani parade as one which usually attracts in excess of 100,000 spectators.
"This is perhaps the largest festival that really brings out Guyana's creativity…We are celebrating our creativity something that we must support," the minister added.
Referring to Guyana as a geographical extravaganza, Captain Gerald Gouveia, speaking in the capacity of member of the Private Sector Commission, said that there is an earnest need for the private sector to do more to support the national celebration.
"In my opinion the private sector is not doing enough. I think that this launch should encourage the private sector to get more involved…It needs all of us…"
According to him the launch of Mashramani is symbolic. He said that such occasions are about unifying Guyana. "Mash is about celebration…it is about showcasing Guyana…our diversity, and it is about economics," said Gouveia as he made the call for the celebration of Mash to take on a new approach by incorporating the involvement of other countries.
Yesterday's launch also saw Al Creighton launching his publication 'Mash— its origin and development' which seeks to not only detail the origin of Mashramani but also its history and development over the years.
He said that during his research for the book it became evident that there is an absence of documented materials on Mash. In fact, it was the lack of materials that spurred his enthusiasm to find out more about Mash. He was tasked with handing over a copy of his publication, which was completed in time for the launch to
Minister Anthony, and a number of other notable individuals.
The launch was chaired by well known broadcaster, Mrs. Michella Abraham-Ali, who was positioned on a platform decorated with representations of mannequins who were tasked with representing the various bird species of Guyana.

News 12 at This Morning / Monday, Feb. 20, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Dedo Maranville leads an active lifestyle, but a few years ago she thought it was all coming to an end.
"I was shooting skeet, and I couldn't see," Maranville recalled.
After a few visits to the doctors, they found she had a brain tumor.
"It was like life was over," she said.
Her vision was impaired because the tumor was pushing up against her optic nerve, which sends information from your eyes to the brain.
Dr. Arturo Solares, who treated Maranville, said the tumor was above her pituitary gland. This is the part of your body that regulates your hormones. Even though Maranville's small tumor was growing at a snail's pace, doctors were still worried it would affect hormone levels in her entire body.
"What we've done traditionally is do a craniotomy, where you open the skull on the side and lift the brain out of the way and then remove the tumor," Solares explained.
The idea is a scary one to think about since doctors manipulate the entire brain.
"You know, that was my brain. The brain controls everything," Maranville said.
Doctors had another option, one that isn't offered many places throughout the country. At GHSU, Solares was trained to do what is called an endonasal brain tumor removal.
"By doing it through the nose, we really don't have to touch the brain, we go directly to the tumor," Solares said.
Solares performs the procedure by going through those nostrils and surgically navigating the brain to access the tumor in order to remove it without cutting open her skull.
"The patients tend to have a faster and easier recovery time," he said.
It was a no-brainer for Maranville, whose tumor is now completely gone.
Maranville's tumor was benign. The main reason they had to remove it was because it was affecting her overall health. In many cases similar to hers, benign tumors are left alone. Solares says as endonasal brain tumor removal becomes more popular, more doctors may turn to the procedure rather than performing traditional brain surgery.

Generation of functional ventricular heart muscle from mouse ventricular progenitor cells.
Cardiovascular Research Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, Charles River Plaza, CPZN 3200, 185 Cambridge Street, Boston, MA 02114-2790, USA.
The mammalian heart is formed from distinct sets of first and second heart field (FHF and SHF, respectively) progenitors. Although multipotent progenitors have previously been shown to give rise to cardiomyocytes, smooth muscle, and endothelial cells, the mechanism governing the generation of large numbers of differentiated progeny remains poorly understood. We have employed a two-colored fluorescent reporter system to isolate FHF and SHF progenitors from developing mouse embryos and embryonic stem cells. Genome-wide profiling of coding and noncoding transcripts revealed distinct molecular signatures of these progenitor populations. We further identify a committed ventricular progenitor cell in the Islet 1 lineage that is capable of limited in vitro expansion, differentiation, and assembly into functional ventricular muscle tissue, representing a combination of tissue engineering and stem cell biology.

Spike in violent crime spurs changes to police workloadUPDATED 7:09 PM EDT Jul 09, 2013
Standing in his church's parking lot Tuesday afternoon in Colerain Township, Jermaine Armour couldn't help but reflect on his rocky past as a troubled youth.Video Transcript
THAT'S THE NEW PLAN... FOR CINCINNATI POLICE OFFICERS. THE CHANGE... PROMPTED BY THE RECENT INCREASE... IN GUN VIOLENCE... ON OUR STREETS. WLWT NEWS 5'S JOHN LONDON... LOOKED INTO JUST HOW MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.... IT'LL MAKE. HE JOINS US LIVE AT DISTRICT ONE... THIS IS WHERE INTERIM CHIEF PAUL HUMPHRIES WILL EXPLAIN THE FINE POINTS TOMORROW... WE TOOK THE CONCEPT INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND FOUND AN EAGERNESS TAKING HOLD. East Price Hill is one neighborhood that believes it can benefit from a greater uniformed presence. It's where the shoulder of this twelve year-old girl caught a stray bullet Saturday night. The west side is where Pete Witte runs a business and raises a family. With crime spiking and police numbers dropping, he's all ears when it comes to improving efficiency. (Pete Witte - Price Hill Community Leader) ("Boots on the ground has always been a rallying cry, especially in District Three. We love seeing the visibility.") It's not clear just how much time collectively police will free up by cutting back on paperwork and obvious dead end cases. But, the idea is to devote more effort to street level intervention and prevention. It was done in Avondale last year when church pastors partnered with police. If you're caught up in the drug and gun culture and are watching this right now or reading about it on WLWT.com, this guy could be your pathway. Jermaine Armour's mother was fifteen when he was born. Part of the drug scene in Buffalo and North Carolina, he is a college grad with two masters degrees, a wife, two children and St. Mark Church which he pastors. (Pastor Jermaine Armour - St. Mark Church) ("...and we understand that our young people are not animals, they're not bad individuals. They're just left with some circumstances where they feel they don't have a choice.") This single mom has seen it in her neighborhood. But, Monica Hambrick no longer hesitates when moving through the Five Points area of Evanston. The St. Leger apartments are being re-developed. There is an employment center nearby and more patrols after five. (Monica Hambrick - Evanston) ("You know, they put a senior citizens building 'bout right there. I wanted them to feel comfortable to be able to walk in our neighborhood cause this is our neighborhood.") If more pastors partner with police and successfully work these streets, there is a key next step for government and community. (Pastor Armour) ("...that when we bring them to the table, that there is something to the table for them to do.") PASTOR ARMOUR POINTS TO FORMER GEORGETOWN COACH JOHN THOMPSON, WHO SAID "CONSISTENCY IS THE MARK OF A CHAMPION". AS STREET CRIME SPREADS OUT, HE SAYS MORE PASTORS HAVE TO SPREAD OUT... AND BE THERE WITH POLICE TO INTERRUPT IT. REPORTING LIVE, JOHN LONDON, WLWT NEWS FIVE. INTERIM CHIEF HUMPHRIES.... IS MAKING THESE PROCEDURAL CHANGES... EVEN AS THE CITY MANAGER GOES THROUGH A LIST OF POTENTIAL REPLACEMENTS.... FOR CHIEF JAMES CRAIG.... WHO TOOK A JOB IN DETROIT LAST MONTH.

Smoking in the Workplace- Statistics, Legislation and More
Smoking in the workplace has always been a polarizing subject. Statistics show that in the United States, tobacco use is responsible for about one in five deaths annually.
That equates to approximately 443,000 deaths per year, with 49,000 of those deaths from second-hand smoke exposure.
As the facts came into focus, state and local governments began taking steps to protect non-smoking workers from second-hand smoke and businesses are attempting to reduce the effects of smoking on their bottom line by establishing non-smoking policies on their campuses.
This article offers some interesting statistics on the effects of smoking in the workplace and highlights the legislation that has been enacted by states and municipalities throughout the United States.

Smoking In the Workplace Statistics
From secondhand smoke to maintenance costs, it's quite surprising how much smoking in the workplace affects the bottom line of a company and the health of their employees- including smokers and non-smokers.
The statistics below highlight just a few of the things that are affected by smoking on company property.
Secondhand Smoke
- The Surgeon General has concluded that smoke-free workplace policies are the only effective way to eliminate secondhand smoke exposure in the workplace. Separating smokers from nonsmokers, cleaning the air, and ventilating buildings cannot eliminate exposure.
- Secondhand smoke exposure causes bronchitis, emphysema, asthma, SIDS, and many other ailments.
- Secondhand smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, 50 of which cause cancer. Ammonia, Acetone, Arsenic, Benzene, Carbon Monoxide, Cyanide, Formaldehyde, Methane, Nicotine, Tar, and Toluene are all in secondhand smoke.
- The U.S. Surgeon General concluded no ventilation system has ever been designed that can protect the public from the death and disease caused by exposure to secondhand smoke, and that establishing smoke-free environments is the only proven way to prevent exposure.
- Secondhand smoke exposure in the workplace has been linked to an increased risk for heart disease and lung cancer among adult nonsmokers.
Costs of Smoking for a Business
- The Society of Actuaries has determined that secondhand smoke costs the U.S. economy roughly $10 billion a year: $5 billion in estimated medical costs associated with secondhand smoke exposure, and another $4.6 billion in lost wages. This estimate does not include youth exposure to secondhand smoke.
- Smoke-free laws add value to establishments. Restaurants in smoke-free cities have a higher market value at resale (an average of 16% higher) than comparable restaurants located in smoke-filled cities.
Absenteeism and Lost Productivity
- Cigarette smoking and secondhand smoke cost $92 billion in productivity losses annually, according to the U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.
- Smokers, on average, miss 6.16 days of work per year due to sickness (including smoking related acute and chronic conditions), compared to nonsmokers, who miss 3.86 days of work per year.
- A national study based on American Productivity Audit data of the U.S. workforce found that tobacco use was one of the greatest variables observed when determining worker lost production time (LPT)-greater than alcohol consumption, family emergencies, age, or education. The study reported that LPT increased in relation to the amount smoked; LPT estimates for workers who reported smoking one pack of cigarettes per day or more was 75% higher than that observed for nonsmoking and ex-smoking workers. In addition, employees who smoked had approximately two times more lost production time per week than workers who never smoked- a cost equivalent of roughly $27 billion in productivity losses for employers.
- The U.S. Centers For Disease Control and Prevention puts a $3,391 price tag on each employee who smokes: $1,760 in lost productivity and $1,623 in excess medical expenditures. In addition, estimated costs associated with secondhand smoke's effects on nonsmokers can add up to $490 per smoker per year.
- The EPA estimates a savings of $4 billion to $8 billion per year in building operations and maintenance costs if comprehensive smoke-free indoor air policies are adopted nationwide.
- The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development estimates that construction and maintenance costs are seven percent higher in buildings that allow smoking than in buildings that are smoke-free.
- The National Fire Protection Association found that in 1998 smoking materials caused 8,700 fires in non-residential structures resulting in direct property damage of $60.5 million.
- In a survey of cleaning and maintenance costs among 2,000 companies that adopted smoke-free policies, 60 percent reported reduced expenditures.
- Merle Norman Cosmetics Company in Los Angeles voluntarily went smoke-free and saved $13,500 the first year in reduced housekeeping costs.
Insurance Rates
- Fire insurance is commonly reduced 25-30% in smoke-free businesses.
- The American Cancer Society reports that employees who smoke have an average insured payment for health care of $1,145, while nonsmoking employees average $762.

With a growing concern about how smoking affects more than just the people using tobacco products, smoking legislation has gained traction throughout the United States. Many States and Municipalities have passed Tobacco Control Laws, 100% Smoke-free Laws, and Smoking Bans.
More states and municipalities are enacting laws every year. This section provides some detailed, up-to-date information on the laws and bans that are in place throughout the United States. Learn about the bans and laws that are currently in place for your city, county, and/or State.
100% Smoke-free Laws and Tobacco Control Laws
Americans for Nonsmokers' Rights is the leading national lobbying organization dedicated to nonsmokers' rights, taking on the tobacco industry at all levels of government, protecting nonsmokers from exposure to secondhand smoke.
They offer maps, lists, data and information on clean air, restrictions on youth access to tobacco, tobacco advertising and promotion restrictions, tobacco excise taxes, and conditional use permits.

For more information on state tobacco control laws, including restrictions on smoking in public places and workplaces and tobacco taxes, visit the American Lung Association's Tobacco Policy Project/State Legislated Actions on Tobacco Issues (SLATI). It includes a comprehensive, up-to-date summary of tobacco control laws in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Smoking Bans in the United States
Although the United States Congress has not attempted to enact a national smoking ban, there has been a surprising amount of legislation on the state and local levels. Wikipedia has detailed the majority of these bans in their post on Lists of Smoking Bans in the United States. It offers a list of all the smoking bans by state, along with the specific legislation enacted by local government.

FMU students go 'bananas', win $5K in start-up funds
5/5/2014, 10:31 a.m.
A group of Florida Memorial University (FMU) students recently won $5,000 in start-up funds at a two-day business plan competition at Florida Atlantic University.
Trendolyn Hopkins, Juan Brown, Michael Baptiste and H.E. Neter Kush Ben Alkebulan earned the prize after winning the People's Choice Award, capping an intense weekend of competition between aspiring entrepreneurs.
Hopkins received a thunderous standing ovation after articulating her presentation to investors and judges.
The students were part of the Fresh Start Beverage Company, a team led by Alkebulan, chief beverage officer, who pitched their business to a panel of judges and investors in Boca Raton. The group competed in the Entrepreneur Track event. They went up against community businesses and seven other aspiring entrepreneurs who were seeking their big break. In addition to cash, the prizes also included legal and business services along with office space at FAU's Research Park Authority. Winners also earn the chance to advance to state and national competitions for more opportunities to sell their business plans to executives and businessmen.
The event was held April 10 and 11.
Alkebulan and his team participated in the competition as part of the College of Business program at FMU.
Chief Technology Officer, Baptiste says that they will use the prize money for product design and packaging.
Alkebulan and his mother took their ancestors' recipe and created the alternative milk beverage in his aunt's kitchen in Mobile, Ala.
"Our mission is to make humanity, healthy, happy and strong one refrigerator at a time," Baptiste said. "We had a really great time and got a lot of great responses."
The Fresh Start Beverage Company was able to mingle with many people high up in the food and beverage industry.
"We received so much counseling and advice, it's not finalized yet but we are going to try Please turn to FMU 8D
continued from 7D
and get our beverage in PDQ restaurants — they said they would like to work with us," Alkebulan said.
Alkebulan and his team are set out to build a presence in the community.
"I knew that there was a need for it because of people like myself, I am lactose intolerant and I like non-diary options," Alkebulan said. "It is a very viable business for myself and my family [and] for the world."
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 78 million adults and about 12.5 million children and adolescents are obese in the U.S.
"Fresh Start Beverage Company clearly sees a void in the universe of the non-dairy beverage market that needs to be filled," Alkebulan said. "Fortunately nature has coalesced all of the characteristics desired by health conscious consumers into an all-natural non-dairy beverage that healthy holistics call banana milk."
One of Alkebulan's products, Banana Wave, is a milk made from bananas — the liquid produced from pureed bananas combined with other super-foods that fuse together for one great "yummy taste."
Banana Wave is an all-natural non-dairy beverage, with heart healthy ingredients, sufficient protein fiber and has more potassium than most alternative milk beverages.

Unlike tuberculosis (TB), which is spread from person to person, nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) infections are not considered contagious. There is no evidence that the infection can be transmitted from one person to another. How and why people become infected with NTM is not clear and the nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) causes are still under investigation.
Although the germs are found easily in water and soil, they do not affect most people. Doctors believe that some people who become infected have an unknown defect in their lung structure or function or in their immune systems. People who have damaged lung tissue from diseases such as emphysema, bronchiectasis, adult cystic fibrosis or previous TB infection appear to be at greater risk for developing a NTM infection. People who are immunocompromised such as those who receive strong immunosuppressant medications such as prednisone or some newer immunosuppressants such as TNF inhibitors have a greater risk of developing an NTM infection that affects all organs of the body, not only the lungs. Patients with AIDS may also develop NTM infections.
Currently there is a "hypothesis" or "theory" about acquiring NTM from a shower. In considering an apparent increase in the number of NTM lung disease cases seen over the past 25 years, it has been noted by researchers in the field, such as Dr. Pace in Boulder and Dr. Falkinham in Virginia, that NTMs may be commonly recovered from home water systems.
We speculate that in the recent past people tend to take showers rather than bathe in a tub, and when showering in a closed stall the concentration of NTMs could be higher. Additionally, to save energy, water heaters have lower temperatures now, which could allow more NTM growth in the water. These are preliminary findings and further research is required to confirm these theories.
Additionally, there are newer data to indicate that aspiration of water that we drink associated with reflux may be an additional way that mycobacteria gain access to the lungs and causes disease.

SANTA CLARA -- Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young, currently an analyst on ESPN, interviewed 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick this week.
Along the way, Young offered some advice.
"Just keep going," Kaepernick said Thursday, likely paring down Young's message for optimum brevity. The 49ers are 7-2 in Kaepernick's starts this season.
At the midpoint of the season, Kaepernick was a somewhat obscure backup quarterback on a team that featured one of the top-rated passers in the league.
Today, he is one of two players in the NFL who still has a chance this season to add "Super Bowl-winning quarterback" to his resume.
How has he handled his sudden rise to fame?
"I just try to keep my head down, keep working and not worry about anything else," Kaepernick said.
While at Nevada, Kaepernick got a tattoo that reads, "My gift is my curse." He said he believes that inscription is particularly appropriate and meaningful now as the 49ers prepare for Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens on Feb. 3.
Kaepernick has nine career NFL starts, the third-fewest by any quarterback entering the Super Bowl in history. Only Jeff Hostetler (6, New York Giants) and Vince Ferragamo (7, Los Angeles Rams) had few starts before a Super Bowl.
"Being an NFL quarterback, there's a lot of advantages that come with it," Kaepernick said. "There are a lot of doors that open when you're a quarterback, but at the same time you're under a lot of scrutiny. There are a lot of things you can't do as well."

Three Must-Read Articles
Every Friday we select a handful of in-depth articles we think are worth a bit of your valuable weekend time, either because they peel back the layers on a compelling business story, or somehow make us look at business in a different light.
Political campaign as tech start-up. Obama's campaign manager, Jim Messina, decided that modern campaigns are similar to upstart technology companies, complete with their need for rapid growth and an increasingly fragmented audience to capture. So to get ready for the battle that will rage into the fall, he tapped an expert network for advice, one that included Steve Jobs, Eric Schmidt, and Steven Spielberg, reports Joshua Green for Bloomberg BusinessWeek. "November will be a contest between two different visions of government but also between competing ideas about how to reach voters," Green writes. "Messina is wagering Obama's second term on the idea that the collected wisdom of tech's biggest titans can outsmart Romney."
The contours of a calamity. The epic failure of MF Global is well known, but a report in Fortune by Peter Elkind with Doris Burke takes a look at the human side of the drama, and concludes, "the failure of MF Global reveals a mismatch of tragic proportions: how a too-small company came together with a too-big CEO. Combining their mutual shortcomings—in ambition, controls, and discipline—simply proved toxic." The company had already survived a rogue-trading scandal just after it went public in which a trader racked up a loss of $141,020,850 on his laptop at home after dinner. And now that the firm has collapsed, former MF Global CEO Jon Corzine is left not knowing what comes next. "This is someone who had a great legacy," says friend Dan Neidich. "Now he has to get through this, and there is no legacy."
Attack of the clones. Berlin-based Rocket Internet has developed a well-deserved reputation for shamelessly knocking off innovative start-ups by pouncing on ideas that took years to develop and fund, writes Max Chafkin at Inc. It then reverse engineers them with a flood of "seed" cash that creates an instant copycat competitor. And it's technology that's to blame, he writes, because it has dramatically accelerated the speed with which an idea can be stolen, and its originator thereby left in the cold. "Think of Rocket as a sort of Kinko's for Web start-ups—that is, if Kinko's were staffed by hyperaggressive German bankers and flush with hundreds of millions of dollars in investment capital from Russian oligarchs, Swedish billionaires, and Arab sovereign wealth funds."

Bomb in trunk of car in Hezbollah neighborhood in south Beirut explodes. Hamas says two of its members killed, three wounded
Roee Nahmias Latest Update: 12.27.09, 08:44 / Israel News
A mysterious explosion took place in a car carrying Hamas members in the southern suburbs of Beirut Saturday, Lebanese security sources reported.
Hama spokesman, Aiman Taha, told al-Arabiya TV on Sunday that a car bomb in a Hezbollah stronghold south of Beirut killed two Hamas figures and wounded three others.
"It is still early to determine who is behind this explosion," said Taha.
Al-Arabiya reported that Lebanese authorities were examining whether the explosion was meant to target Ali Barakeh, Hamas' representative in Lebanon. Media reports of Saturday's incident were conflicting and unclear. Al-Arabiya also reported that two Hezbollah members arriving at the scene to dismantle the explosives were killed in the blast.
According to reports in Lebanon, the explosion took place in the trunk of a car parked in the Haret Hreik suburb, which is considered a Hezbollah neighborhood.
A Reuters reporter said ambulances were at the scene of the blast and barricades shut off the area about 200 meters from where the bomb exploded in a Hezbollah neighborhood.
The explosion comes days following the decision to include Lebanon in the United Nations Security Council, as well as the Lebanese prime minister's historic visit to Damascus.
Lebanon joined the Security Council as the representative of the group of Arab countries, in place of Libya – despite the fact that Hezbollah recently joined the state's government.
Hezbollah's inclusion in the Lebanese government officially put an end to the United States' hopes for a pro-American government in Beirut. Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri's visit to Syria also demonstrated that the state is leaning in the Syrian government's favor.

We had Mohammad's store. Or my fake ID friend Chris. Got busted his senior year because his picture was in the paper for being a graduate.
Mom, I know you're reading this, and I want you to close this tab on your computer and forget that today is Wednesday and that I have a post on The Lost Ogle.
Well, readers, now that my mom is gone, I want to talk to you about the sacred institution that is underage drinking. Not only did I partake in this pastime, but I like to think that I was a bit of a professional. You see, when my friend Samantha's older brother wasn't buying our booze for us (the standard order being a six-pack of Coronas and a bottle of Captain Morgan), we were a bit more enterprising. And thanks to the fine fellas of the UCO Alpha Tau Omega house, we never went without.
But what do you do if you don't have a friend with an older sibling or an overly developed friend for whom the frat boys would do anything? I suppose you talk to "Bootlegger Willie", or at least that's what the kids down in Chickasha were doing until Bootlegger Willie was arrested for selling to minors.
According to the story on KFOR.com:
Grady County Sheriff Art Kell said, "This guy was buying alcohol from liquor stores, taking it to his house and selling it to anybody who would come up there. That's why they call him the bootlegger."
"Bootlegger Willie" to locals is really 84-year-old Lawrence Hayden.
The sheriff said his "operation" was a well-kept secret for years.
The sheriff was patrolling the Grady County Fairgrounds recently when he came upon a group of teens who were clearly intoxicated.
One of the kids was so drunk he nearly fell out of the car.
The sheriff told them, go to jail, or cooperate.
"They told me about this guy named 'Bootlegger,'" Kell said. "I said, 'Who's this bootlegger?' He's been selling alcohol to anyone who wants it."
Using an 18-year-old informant, the Grady County Sheriff launched a sting.
He sent the teen in with a marked $20.
The young man returned with an 80-proof bottle of Sunny Brook Kentucky Blended Whiskey.
The alleged bootlegger was arrested for selling to a minor.
It's probably a good thing that they didn't release the name of the 18-year old informant, because that kid would totally be getting his ass kicked outside the field house after school. And if it was so boring growing up in Edmond that we spent so much time drinking (even our cheerleaders got suspended for drinking vodka and taking Valium in the bathroom during a basketball game to numb the pain that is Edmond), I can only imagine how bad it is in Chickasha. At least Edmond kids can escape to Oklahoma City on Friday nights and hang out with 25-year old men with tattoos who play in bands. Where can the Chickasha kids go when they want to pretend to be tougher than they are?
Also, can I just take a moment to commend Bootlegger Willie? Though he didn't technically earn his title by bootlegging (but I bet he's old enough to maybe remember making a still back in the day), he is a prime example of a successful small business. He saw a demand in the market, and he took advantage. In this economy, fortune truly favors the bold, and the bold sell $8 bottles of crappy whiskey to teenagers for $20.
We had Mohammad's store. Or my fake ID friend Chris. Got busted his senior year because his picture was in the paper for being a graduate.
We had a guy like that where I grew up. You drove up to his house, honked the horn, he came out and you drove him to the liquor store and his pay was a pack of smokes. Back then, smokes were like $1.10 a pack. Easy!
Anybody else get there booze in the city from the fat guy named Pepe that worked at little ceasers?
Also out on NW 10th near Yukon/mustang a convenience store guy would ring you up at the register, you would drive around back, he'd open the back door carrying your cases of beer and put them in your car. That's bootlegging right there.
And If it weren't for lyrewood lane convenience stores I would never have started smoking at 15.
I used to know that guy!
the guy at the Sands on I-40 and Rockwell was a great source too. He'd get all nervous looking out the window as you put your 40's on the counter. He'd wrap them up and send you on your way.
I'm surprised I'm not dead from all of the underage drinking I did.
Oh and hot liquor store Little Kings….ugh
This guy would have made a fortune in my hometown. My nerdy friends and I were probably the only people who didn't drink before we were 21. Everyone — even the adults — knew where the popular drinking spots were, so the kids had to keep choosing new spots. There was a scandal one year when a teacher's husband bought alcohol for some kids during the senior trip to Florida. Even one of my youth group teachers once said that she'd buy alcohol for her son's high school graduation party because then he could drink while being supervised. Who cares if that's illegal? It's part of being a good Christian parent!
This procedure was very popular in small Oklahoma towns that either had no liquor store or were small enough where everybody knew everybody and didn't always have a dad that would go buy it for you.
Our bootlegger was Little Tom. We got busted by the county sheriff for going there one night. Memories.
In my small Oklahoma town we had a liquor store where the dirty old man would sell to anybody (I looked young for my age). The best day was went I went to church with my mom and turned to greet the people behind me and it was the liquor store man!
My parents used to by me booze so we could have parties at home and I turned out okay.
Agree that this was common in small towns. One roadhouse at the edge of my small town would sell six packs to anyone tall enough to peer over bar. You had to pick up your booze at the side door. I had a friend who worked at a gas station/store who would sell it to us. But back then you only had to be 18 so many high school seniors could drink legally anyway.
Thanks! Your message has been sent!

Czech Skoda Auto Sales Spike Fuels Economic Rebound Hopes
Car maker Volkswagen Czech unit, Skoda Auto AS, said Thursday that global sales hit a record high in October, driven by a surging demand in Europe for its renewed model range.
The results bolstered hopes of a sustained rebound from poorer sales earlier this year, providing a much needed boost for the Czech economy after a disappointing performance in the third quarter.
"Worldwide sales growth has confirmed the strength of our brand and the appeal of our refreshed model line-up," said Werner Eichhorn, a Skoda Auto board member in charge of sales. "With eight new and reworked models Skoda Auto has reached another record despite difficult market conditions."
Skoda Auto sold 83,800 cars in October, up 7.5% from 78,000 in the same month last year. Overall, in the 10 months through to the end of October, sales dropped 3.3% on the year to 768,700, as customers held back for the release of the car maker's new models.
Skoda Auto is the country's biggest exporter and a bellwether for the local automotive- and electronics-centered economy. Its October sales bode well for the overall Czech economy through the year end after an unexpected contraction in the three months to end-September.
Earlier Thursday, the Czech statistics bureau released its preliminary flash estimate of third-quarter gross domestic product, which declined 0.5% against the previous three months. Analysts had forecast a 0.5% quarterly expansion.
In Western Europe, where car demand is scraping along at record lows, Skoda Auto fared well by boosting its October sales 17% to 32,400 cars from a year earlier. In Germany alone, one of the company's key markets, sales totaled 12,100 cars in October, up 24% from the same month last year.
On a more negative note, the company's sales in China, its key Asian market, fell 6% year-on-year in October to 21,500 vehicles. The car maker said it remains confident that its Chinese sales will recover after the recent launch of its completely revamped flagship sedan, Superb.
Despite difficult market conditions, Skoda Auto still plans to boost its annual sales to at least 1.5 million cars by 2018, compared with 939,000 vehicle sales in 2012, the company said.
Skoda Auto, the export behemoth, will be key for the Czech Republic's eventual economic rebound after it faltered in the third quarter. The car maker should benefit from last week's Czech central bank intervention to weaken the koruna which makes Skoda Auto cars cheaper abroad. The bank wants to maintain the Czech currency at 27 koruna against the euro, some 5% softer than earlier this year.
"The export driven recovery, supported by both better foreign demand and weaker koruna, should lead to GDP growth accelerating to around 1.9% on the year in 2014," said Citigroup Prague-based economist Jaromir Sindel.

This is true beauty, such an amazing piece of work.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Asian Feeling in Eb minor
Good day, gentleman,
this is the second piece you want us to review. Since this is an older piece, we assume that you are a lot better now. Now let us take a listen now...
You present us a cliché anime harmonic and melody which you approached successfully in our opinion. You also did not forget details like a lot of gestures and the dynamics go fluently. You had a pretty good use of the picardy third, too, which surprised us delightfully.
The generally simple cadenza (which gets repeated often with only a few variations) makes this piece boring pretty fast after listening to it several times, because there is not much to discover, thus you made it easy to listen to but more experienced listeners of classical music will miss more interesting content. At 1:14 you use the very same structure as in your "Last Ship" piece. We understand that this is a trademark of yours but still you can add small gestures (trills played by woodwind, glissandi, arpeggios, etc.) and other things to discover to keep it interesting. In general you could also use more movements in the middle voices and end everything up with modulations.
It seems you have a favour for this kind of instrumentation with the strings playing the chords. I can only re-emphasize that woodwinds would blend so good in here. Just right after the short pause in the middle they would fit perfect playing following chords. In addition they can also fill some higher frequencies to get more mixture of high and low. I guess some more instruments (like crotales, celesta or something else) won't hurt, because they would thicken the sound. I actually liked the brass with the tremolo playing timpani - this was a quite nice variation.
An instrument which could add a nice color would be a piano, playing along with the melody or else - a countermelody. At the end the strings play a slow and soft melody - I think this melody would even shine more, if you double it an octave higher (maybe also with some woodwinds) and let it play very expressively.
The mixing is quite well - it seems you have a standard pattern for your mixes.
But I think you could place the melody-playing instruments much more diverse in the room, because they are all in the centre so far. Another little thing is that the Duduk should have a little break for taking breath (at 14 seconds). I would also decrease its attack a little bit to make it less choppy. Also some more strength in the higher frequencies would be nice (like in your other piece).
All in all, you have shown us a solid asian feeling. The instrumentation is in the most need of improvement, be creative in combining different instruments to get nice colours. I hope we could help you.
Best regards,
Sir Edward Eisenworth
Hey thanks for your time once again. Yes at the time I made this one, my mixing and humanization techniques weren't exactly up to par. Thanks for being so forgiving in your analysis lol
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is a beautiful piece!
Reminiscent of Jeremy Soule, such beauty.
I can see why you are proud of this piece.
Thanx. This is the first time anyone has compared my work to Jeremy Soule.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Good song.......
when i heard this song i thought of a scene after a bloody battle where almost all of the good guys die and theres only a few left holding up there nations flag in honor.............this song would be great for a movie you should try submitting it.
Hey! Thanks alot! :D
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Awesome work!
I hear some LOTR references in this music. It is certainly powerful and emotional- perfect for a pre-war speech!
I think you could have used more reverb in the pitch-bended instrument around 0:18. Guitar sounds genuine, nice warm brass sound, and lovely touch with the timpani and gong! The gong sounds a bit too close to the ears, perhaps with added reverb or stereo enhancement (stereo-to-mono), the gongs could be placed more towards the back of the ensemble. Strings sound a bit synthetic, mostly because of the reverb trails. Nice balance overall. the solo instruments cut through quite well!
Great job! I know for a fact my first project on Cubase didn't sound half as good as this. 5/5, 9/10
Hey! Nice of you to review this one too! Yeah it took me a big learning curve when I originally made this song. It was frustrting since everything was new, but I'm really glad that it sounded this decent. Cheers mate!

Blue Shield lies to popular political blogger, his wife, and anesthesiologist, to avoid paying fully for an epidural. [Daily Kos]
Way to go Blue Shield of California!
I wonder if they have realized yet that they landed themselves on the front page of a blog, and not in a good way, that gets 500,000 unique site visits every day?
What is Blue Shield as opposed to Blue Cross? Is the cross mightier than the shield?
It is not Blue Shield who is entirely in the wrong here. The anesthesiologist is partly at fault. Although Blue Shield should be helping Kos resolve the issue.
I had a similar problem with HealthNet whereby the lab tried to charge me the difference from the preferred rate. HealthNet told me it was illegal for the lab to charge me once they had accepted any payment from them for the services. They actually sent the lab a cease and desist order on my behalf and told them not to contact me any longer or else there would be legal consequences.
By the way, the help from HealthNet came after I was forced to leave them since they were no longer one of the plans offered by my employer. I just got the bill 6 months after the services were rendered and I had already changed insurance companies.
I dont know if he was being sarcastic or not, but a government run health care program would be way worse. I love my country, but the system is flawed. For example, the patent system is a mess, so is social security, the CPSC, Postal system and Public education. Get these things right then i'll concider them any where near my organs.
Talk about screwing with the wrong guy, at the wrong time. I expect an update shortly "BCBS is very concerned about our customers privacy and is looking into this very important matter".
This is typical for anesthesiologists. Most are not a part of any health plan or system so they can charge the most money. They are among the best paid in healthcare for a reason.
I ran into this same problem before. We simply called Aetna and explained and they paid the charges. If they will not pay the full bill, you then call the doctors billing office and ask them if they will reduce the bill. 9 times out of 10 they will and it is all taken care of.
Just to clarify… BCBS is an affiliation and each Blue plan is separate. Some are non-profits, some are private companies and some are part of WellPoint, a public insurance company that owns all Anthems and a few other Blue plans. BSCA is a non-profit where as BCCA is a subsidiary of WellPoint. Not all Blue plans are the same.
This illustrates one of my big frustrations with managed care plans and the administration of hospitals. Most hospitals no longer have their own anesthesiologists or radiologists. Instead, they contract that work out to outside practices. And those practices are often not part of the same health plans that the hospital is.
As a result, it's easy to go to a hospital for surgery, expecting it all to be covered in-network, but then get large out-of-network bills for anesthesia and radiology.
now i'm a young, single guy in my first grown up job, but is $800 a month insanely expensive for insurance? I pay $88 for BCBS in Indianapolis and taking a peek at the rates for a family of 4, it would be $289/mos. How the hell is this guy paying $800 a month? Does he have 15 kids?

Young people at Wesley House Thursday rehearsed to get ready for a play presentation.
The youth theatre group will be starring in "The Duchess, the Tea Party, and Tess", written by Anne B. McKee, Meridian playwright and teaching artist for the Mississippi Arts Commission roster.
McKee is also directing the play she wrote about ten years ago.
"If one child is inspired, one child, is inspired by anything of the performing arts, then it's worth our time to come out and work with them," McKee said.
McKee said the play teaches that what you see is not as important as what you feel in your heart.
