Healthcare is expected to reach nearly 20% of the US gross domestic product by 2019 and is bursting with new products and services. PwC surveyed US consumers and found they would be willing to spend more than $13 billion a year of their own money on those new services. It's the promise of those new products and services that is enticing more and more businesses to turn to the US health system as an opportunity for innovation, differentiation, and profits.
With 76% of the Fortune 50 now in the health industry or with a health division it is apparent that opportunity abounds. However, to attain success, businesses will need to find and exploit the right niches by building innovative healthcare business models. The keys lie in determining where to invest time and resources, how to provide value for consumers, and, most important, how to avoid fool's gold.
PwC's Health Research Institute surveyed consumers and found they would be willing to spend approximately $13.6 billion a year of their own money on healthcare services. The chart below shows how this breaks out.

Interstate 99, called Bud Shuster Highway, became "Buck Shooter" Highway on Monday as the artery's periphery was riddled with parked empty pickup trucks - but not empty for long.
You could find more of the same at the outskirts of towns through central Pennsylvania as people faithfully observed the holiday between Thanksgiving and Christmas - the first day of rifle season for deer.
Josh McCaulley, 24, of Tyrone

Jim Stoltz (left)?of DuBois shows off his 7-point buck to friend Dino Bruno of Irwin, Westmoreland County, Monday morning. Stoltz downed the buck in a field adjacent to his father's land in Clearfield Township, Cambria County, on the first day of deer season.
hasn't missed the first day of deer season in 13 years. It's a tradition instilled in him by his grandfather and a long line of whitetail hunters in his family, he said.
About 750,000 hunters are expected to participate in deer season this year.
McCaulley set out by 6 a.m., and by 11 a.m. the only meat he got was in a sandwich from Burger King, but making a kill is "just a bonus," he said.
"I prefer the woods. I tell my girlfriend, 'I'm taking my gun for a walk.' You don't have to think about anything - except how cold you are," he said. "And waiting for that first shot of the season to ring out. You can hear it from miles away because of the way the hills roll. I tell my friends some day I'll get the first shot. The sound warms your blood a little bit. Once you hear that first one, they just keep coming."
One shot sprung more than a dozen deer into range of Robert Duval in the Beaver Dams area of Frankstown Township. He saw 30 deer total on Monday.
He hunted with his uncle, cousin, father-in-law - "a whole slew of us," said Duval of Hollidaysburg. Although his two boys are too young to join the hunt, he said they light up with the thrill of their father's kill.
"The boys are always tickled every time I get a deer," he said.
Duval was laid off recently at Gamesa's Ebensburg plant.
"This means I'm able to put meat in the freezer," he said of bagging a six-point buck.
He hauled his kill to McCready's Deer Processing in Hollidaysburg, where it will be turned into bologna, jerky and chipped steaks for his family.
"With the economy as bad as it is, a lot of people depend on a deer for the year," business owner and operator Jason McCready said between cleaning carcasses.
For hunters wishing to share their kill, McCready and several area processing centers are participating in a state-supported program to convert donated venison into family-sized ground servings for churches and charity services.
Monday's 30-degree weather was cold enough to enable hunters to stay out longer without concern that their meat would spoil if it wasn't rushed to be processed.
Temperatures could reach 50 degrees by Sunday, according to Accuweather. But as hunters trek through the forest today, they'll be bracing for temperatures in the 20s and about an inch or two of snow.
"It's gonna be good," Duval said. "Tracking snow."

Information Radiator
A term from
"An information radiator displays information in a place where passersby can see it. With information radiators, the passersby don't need to ask questions; the information simply hits them as they pass.
"Two characteristics are key to a good information radiator. The first is that the information changes over time. This makes it worth a person's while to look at the display... The other characteristic is that it takes very little energy to view the display."
Whiteboard in the hall is good, scrolling LED display is not.
"Radiator" implies an active component to this; what is being radiated here? It seems to me to be a completely passive information source. This is not like a server that broadcasts its availability or the fact that it has new services available. This is more like a community bulletin board that simply has junk tacked up all over the place in public view. Is there a pattern for this? It certainly isn't Publisher/Subscriber or Observer.
"Radiator" does not imply an active component to me. In my house I have radiators. Their job is to sit there and be warm, so that anyone who stands next to them gets warm. As a by-product the room gets warm.
"Radiator" does imply an active component to me. The radiators in your house are actively radiating heat. You can't
heat, but that doesn't mean the radiator is just sitting there passively. You might as well say that the Sun is passive. Similarly, an information radiator's job is to radiate information, so that anyone who looks at it gets informed. Conversely, I think an information source that requires you to take action to extract information from it is "passive."
[If I remember correctly, when it comes to heating/cooling systems "active" basically means that it uses a fan/pump, and "passive" means it doesn't. Most radiators that I'm familiar with don't have fans/pumps (they rely on the heat source to provide it), and would therefore be considered passive.]
Passive = Heat rises, and cold falls, naturally: thus is the engine that provides the circulation.
Active = Heat and cold can't naturally flow, because of design limitations, thus a pump/fan/etc. must be used as the engine that provides the circulation.
The only comparison that I see here, is that like the way a heat radiator radiates heat to anyone near, the Information Radiator radiates information to anyone near. Simple. I like it. No mater whether the engine that runs it is passive or active, the result is the same.
One obvious extension of this idea would be to set up a small PC linked to a projector which does nothing but display the current status of the build,
coverage, and various metrics about your code base. If you only display a high-level view of essential data then everyone who walks by can see the state of play. I've seen this used for monitoring the status of a large number of servers, and it works well.
If we could boil down the current status of a project to a page of information (preferably in some visual format) with perhaps another screen displaying historical data, there would be clear benefits for project tracking. I remember discussing this with
once at the
as a way of using a visualization tool like Pasta (Compuware's Package Structure Analysis Tool at
) to identify bad check-ins. By colour-coding the metrics and hooking a visualization tool to CVS or
we end up with a system where, if someone checks in 'bad code', (according to your metrics) everybody notices in a non-intrusive way. I rather like the idea of a bad check-in immediately leading to a red wall. --

I just found your great site and have enjoyed reading and looking at all the great recipes. I made these Oreo Cookies but instead of using the regular flavor, I bought the green mint flavored Oreos and will be decorating the tops with red and green for our family Christmas Party this year. Thanks for the idea.

how do they hold up if I have to freeeze them for a summer wedding?

They are really good though the dipping can be tricky with either too much or not enough but no matter really lol. I am going to try some made with Nutter Butter cookies too.
Heather says
I have been making these babies for years! I would have to say the mint ones are probably the most popular next to the original and PB ones. Try putting a Maraschino cherry in the middle of an original! Holy Moly!! Delicous!!

I make these at Halloween as eyeballs. Use mini M&M's as the center of the eye and red frosting in a tube to fan out lightly. Kids love them.

My family loves oreos, but thought the oreo balls were a little too sweet. For peanut butter lovers, try the recipe with Nutter Butters. Heaven!

Did you enjoy all of 2011's brilliant games? You did? That's fantastic. Now forget about them all immediately, and start secreting from your hype glands in frothy anticipation for what's coming out in 2012. While there's bound to be some stuff announced later - like the next Call of Duty - here's our picks of upcoming 2012 games we already know about, part three:
Luigi's Mansion 2
Finally - a return of the Poltergust 5000! We've always had a soft spot for Luigi, though we're not sure why a man terrified of ghosts has been personally selected to rid giant spooky mansions of their poltergeists. Still, it makes for good entertainment. Luigi's Mansion 2 promises a game that's more puzzle-oriented than the GameCube original, it'll also need a bit more content than its predecessor if it wants to justify a £30 price tag in our App-obsessed world.

Leading by just two points at halftime, Stetson outscored Northern Kentucky by 22 in the second half en route to a 90-66 Atlantic Sun Conference victory Thursday night at The Bank of Kentucky Center.
Stetson (15-5, 7-1 A-Sun) extended its winning streak to seven games in a row and moved passed the Norse (10-9, 6-2) into sole possession of second place in the conference standings.
"It was a big win (for the standings) but even bigger because it was away," Stetson head coach Lynn Bria said. "I think Northern Kentucky is a very good team. They are a disciplined team and a well-coached team, and they are hard to beat. We are very fortunate to come here and get a win, and I am very happy with our effort."
Sasha Sims and Amber Porter each scored 17 points for the Hatters, who reached 90 points in a game for the seventh time this season. Jama Sharp registered 15 points and six steals, while Cherisse Burris added 11 points.
Despite committing 12 turnovers in the opening 20 minutes, Stetson led 37-35 at the break. The Hatters tightened the screws defensively in the second half, opening the period on an 11-0 run to take a 48-35 lead. Sims capped the run when she grabbed an offensive rebound and got fouled on the putback for a three-point play.
"It's all about focus," Sims said about the Hatters' second half performance. "It's about what we do, not about what anyone else does. Once we get our composure and distribute the ball the way we know how, everything flows better."
Northern Kentucky went six and a half minutes without a point until Kayla Thacker's lay-up ended the drought. The Hatters kept attacking, however, as Jama Sharp scored on an off-balance shot in the lane for a 50-37 Stetson advantage. Sharp would later find Porter for a breakaway lay-up to put the Hatters up by 16. With just over 10 minutes to play in the half, Stetson recorded a rare five-point play when Sims knocked down a three-pointer as Brianti Saunders got fouled away from the play. With NKU over the limit in fouls, Saunders dropped in two bonus free throws to extend the Hatters' lead to 19.
"We just settled down more offensively, and we kept our energy on defense," Bria said about the second half. "We didn't give them anything easy. I thought we rebounded the ball extremely well, especially in the second half. In the first half they got about six or seven offensive boards, and we limited their second chances in the second half."
Saunders and Myeisha Hall each added nine points for Stetson, Porter grabbed nine rebounds, and Sharp dished out four assists. For the game, Stetson went 30-for-37 from the free throw line and shot 48% from the field.
Lauren White led NKU with 23 points.
Stetson will head south to Nashville, Tenn. to take on Lipscomb at 5 p.m. Saturday night. The game will be broadcast live in ESPN3.
Notes: Sasha Sims moved into fourth place on Stetson's all-time scoring list (1465 points) ... The Hatters outscored NKU 40-16 in the paint ... Stetson is now averaging 79.7 points per game ... The Hatters have won 10 of their last 11 games overall ... With several players from the local area, including hometown native DeAsia Beal, the Hatters had over 100 fans in attendance on Thursday.

I am appalled at the lack of outrage from community leaders about what has happened recently in our town. I expected an editorial expressing outrage when two old people were beaten and robbed in their home, where one is accustomed to feeling safe.
What I got instead was a wimpy article stating that old people are a target because they get their checks on the first of the month and they should have direct deposit.
So should they post on their door: "Don't bother. I have direct deposit?''
How do they go from a victim to the cause? The only editorial from this paper that has been a call for rage was the editorial covering the Port Authority executive director and her salary.
In Warren, you learn not to expect much from the leadership. But just once, I would like for either the Tribune or the city administration to have some intestinal fortitude and say something. Make a statement. Show some outrage.
On a Sunday in broad daylight we have a gunfight in our downtown, and no response from leadership or the local newspaper.
Look around downtown Warren. What we have is a failed community and a downtown area that is surrounded with low-income housing and rentals. What business wants to invest in a town where the dress code is pajamas?
Our leaders have fostered a culture of poverty. Is there an uproar over putting our tax dollars into the Warner house?
I'm sure it's grant money, but it is still our tax dollars.
I am not saying that the poor and disenfranchised need to be out of sight and out of mind, but a downtown business area is not the place to have people wandering around talking to themselves or bothering customers of downtown (few though they may be) by begging for a handout.
I live in what I fondly call ''the ghetto.''
I stood in my home and counted the gunshots that killed a man before calling 911. He lived in a rental. Had I come home when I normally do, I would have witnessed a murder. The house next to me was a crackhouse. Also a rental. My family wants me to move. Why should I have to move? It is my home.
Some suggestions:
Put all police on the street, including supervisors. Not every day, but maybe on the weekends to beef up police presence.
Limit the number of rentals, although this is basically closing the barn door after the horse is out.

1 can (8 oz) Pillsbury® refrigerated crescent rolls
10 large hot dogs
Cooking spray
Mustard or ketchup, if desired
1. Heat oven to 375°F.
2. Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal.
3. With knife, cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.
4. Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog to look like "bandages," stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate "bandages" so hot dog shows through for "face." On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs; spray dough lightly with cooking spray.
5. Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot.
6. With mustard, draw features on "face.".

This product may seem familiar. I reviewed the original version of Potato Jazz in August 2008. Since then, Wilcox Fresh and The Little Potato Co. embarked on a remix, including smaller potatoes and a new lineup of spices.
They actually asked me to help out with spice selection, something I was happy to do. We tried about a dozen types of spices and I was thrilled to see that Potato Jazz even picked some of the ones I liked for the re-launch this fall.
I thought the reformulation was a great idea. The smaller sized potatoes give consumers the perception of having more on their plate, and a few more pieces per serving. They also cook up nicely.
I like the new spices as well. Potato Jazz is a win in my book. It's quick, easy and delicious.

The night Shane Mosley has been waiting for and Manny Pacquiao…well Manny Pacquiao will be ready for it to.
Fight night comes down at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. It a clash of a legend versus a man trying to restore his reputation.
Mosley only has a fight or two left in him, after that he become an afterthought. No one believes he can beat Manny, but what Mosley must do isn't about victory, it's about presenting well.
He must stay with Manny. He must take his punches and deliver them back. Mosley doesn't have to win to erase the label "washed up."
Just battling Manny will go a long way in making the public forget about his dismal performance against Sergio Mora and the beating he took at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mosley doesn't have to slay the beast, just prove he can stand toe to toe with him and put a second of doubt into the viewers minds that he could do the impossible and beat Manny.
It's a lot to ask, but with few fights left in him, it would make sense to just empty the tank tonight.
Mosley's got nothing, so he has nothing to lose.
For all your Pacquiao vs. Mosley info, stay right here on Bleacher Report.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Study found variations around genes that regulate the complement system.
A group of researchers report that they have induced the regeneration of nerve connections that control voluntary movement after spinal cord injury in rodents. The UC Irvine (UCI), UC San Diego (UCSD), and Harvard University team achieved this by turning back the developmental clock in a molecular pathway critical for the growth of corticospinal tract (CST) nerve connections.
They did this by deleting an enzyme called PTEN (a phosphatase and tensin homolog), which controls a pathway called mTOR, which is a key regulator of cell growth. PTEN activity is low early during development, allowing cell proliferation. PTEN then turns on when growth is completed, inhibiting mTOR and precluding any ability to regenerate.
Trying to find a way to restore early developmental-stage cell growth in injured tissue, Zhigang He, Ph.D., a senior neurology researcher at Children's Hospital Boston and Harvard Medical School, first showed in a 2008 study that blocking PTEN in mice enabled the regeneration of connections from the eye to the brain after optic nerve damage.
Dr. He then partnered with Oswald Steward, Ph.D., of UCI and Binhai Zheng, Ph.D., of UCSD to see if the same approach could promote nerve regeneration in injured spinal cord sites. Results of their study appear online in Nature Neuroscience in a paper titled "PTEN deletion enhances the regenerative ability of adult corticospinal neurons."
The investigators found that PTEN/mTOR are critical for controlling the regenerative capacity of mouse corticospinal neurons. The regrowth potential of CST axons was lost after development. This was accompanied by a downregulation of mTOR activity in corticospinal neurons. Axonal injury further diminished neuronal mTOR activity in these neurons.
Forced upregulation of mTOR activity in corticospinal neurons by conditional deletion of PTEN enhanced compensatory sprouting of uninjured CST axons. It enabled successful regeneration of a cohort of injured CST axons past a spinal cord lesion, the scientists report. Furthermore, these regenerating CST axons possessed the ability to reform synapses in spinal segments distal to the injury.
Thus, modulating neuronal intrinsic PTEN/mTOR activity represents a potential therapeutic strategy for promoting axon regeneration and functional repair after adult spinal cord injury, the researchers conclude.The team is now studying whether the PTEN-deletion treatment leads to actual restoration of motor function in mice with spinal cord injury. Further study will explore the optimal timeframe and drug-delivery system for the therapy.
"Until now, such robust nerve regeneration has been impossible in the spinal cord," notes Dr. Steward, anatomy and neurobiology professor and director of the Reeve-Irvine Research Center at UCI. "Paralysis and loss of function from spinal cord injury has been considered untreatable, but our discovery points the way toward a potential therapy to induce regeneration of nerve connections following spinal cord injury in people."

UNIVERSITY PARK - Fourth-down attempts and fourth-quarter deficits don't mean the same thing to Bill O'Brien and his Penn State players that they do to other college teams.
Facing fourth down in a crucial situation is adversity - to other teams.
Trailing by 11 points against a ranked opponent entering the fourth quarter is adversity - to other teams.

Mirror photos by Patrick Waksmunski
Penn State quarterback Matt McGloin dives for a 5-yard touchdown to put the Nittany Lions ahead in the fourth quarter on Saturday.
Not to this group of Nittany Lions. It's just football to them, because they know all about real adversity.
O'Brien has embraced that notion in his first year as head coach. He doesn't stress over little things, and neither do his players.
The team's remarkable poise has been on display for close to a year now, and Saturday it showed up at the perfect time - the fourth quarter.
"There was no panic," quarterback Matt McGloin said. "We didn't get upset. We didn't press ourselves. We just continued to play our game, and we made some big plays there in the fourth quarter."
The Lions enjoyed a huge final period, scoring 22 points, and roared back for a 39-28 win over No. 24 Northwestern before 95,769 fans on homecoming at Beaver Stadium.
Penn State's fourth straight win was its best of the season, and it showed, as O'Brien pointed out, "There's no quit in that locker room."
It also was by far the most entertaining game of the season, an honest-to-goodness shootout.
"Wow, what a game," linebacker Michael Mauti said.
"Being down like that and our team coming back and rallying, especially in the fourth quarter, was really a special thing," Mauti added.
Penn State appeared to be in big trouble after Northwestern's Venric Mark returned a punt 75 yards for a TD for a 28-17 lead with 50 seconds left in the third quarter. The Lions had gone from being in total control early - the Wildcats didn't even record a first down until the 9:19 mark of the second quarter - to imploding on special teams and letting the game slip away.
That's when O'Brien turned to his not-so-secret weapon, the NASCAR offense.
"I feel very comfortable with the no-huddle," McGloin said. "The whole offense does. We've run it very well."
That's exactly what they did with the game on the line, too, using the no-huddle attack to go on an 82-yard TD drive to close within striking distance, then driving 85 yards on the next series to take the lead.
The Lions had scored 17 points in their first 10 possessions (one closing out the first half), then let their offensive weapons loose with the NASCAR attack in the fourth quarter. O'Brien had been hesitant to go to it because he didn't want quick three-and-outs that would give the ball right back to Northwestern's potent offense.
But with the game on the line, O'Brien started up his engines.
"It was effective," the coach said of the NASCAR offense. "It's been effective pretty much all year."
The offense got the Lions in scoring position, and O'Brien made the key decisions that helped get them in the end zone.
On fourth-and-4 at the Northwestern 6, O'Brien decided to go for it instead of trying a field goal that would have made it 28-20. McGloin, who completed a school-record 35 passes, stepped up in the pocket and hit Allen Robinson in the end zone.
Michael Zordich rumbled in for the two-point conversion to bring the Lions within 28-25 with 9:49 to go.
"We love it," Zordich said of going for it on fourth down, which PSU has done successfully 13 times in 20 tries this season. "It is an attitude kind of play. We want touchdowns. That is what this offense is about. If we need to go for it ... that is what we are going to do."
A 64-yard punt pinned the Lions at their own 15 with 8:15 to go, but McGloin and the offense again used the NASCAR attack to drive right down the field.
Penn State faced another crucial fourth down at the Wildcat 19, this time needing 2 yards, and McGloin converted with a 13-yard pass to Brandon Moseby-Felder.
McGloin fumbled but recovered while scrambling on second down, and on third-and-goal at the 5, he scrambled to his right and did a funky, leaping dive into the end zone for a 32-28 lead.
Former Penn State quarterback Daryll Clark had some fun at McGloin's expense on Twitter when he wrote, "THE WORST! Dive in the end zone I've ever seen LMAOOO.. I luv it tho.. PSU."
Penn State's offense delivered in the clutch all day, converting 5-of-6 fourth-down attempts overall and 10-of-12 third-down attempts in the second half. That came on the heels of converting just 1-of-10 on third down in the first half.
McGloin finished 35-of-51 for 282 yards, two TDs through the air and one on the ground. Robinson caught nine passes for 85 yards and two scores.
Zach Zwinak also had a huge day, rushing for 121 yards on 28 carries and also catching six passes for 52 yards. Zwinak now appears to be the No. 1 choice at tailback.
"We stayed strong in the fourth quarter; I thought that was what helped us," Zwinak said. "We spent so much time in the offseason training because when it comes down to the fourth quarter, we want to be the team who can still go and not show any weakness."
As the Lion offense was taking control, so too was the defense. Northwestern scored 28 points, but one TD came after a muffed punt and the other on Mark's punt return. The Wildcats had 704 yards of offense last week but only 247 Saturday.
"When we get fired up, it gets the offense fired up, too," defensive tackle Jordan Hill said. "Just going out and playing our ball, they know that they've got to go out there and play their ball, too. We just feed off of each other, and that's what happened today."
Northwestern had one last shot, taking over at its own 25 with 2:37 to go, and the PSU defense shut down the Wildcats. The Lions took over on downs, and Zordich scored from 3 yards out to seal the win.
"That's what this team does well, moving forward and keep fighting," Zordich said.

Dogs are Livestock?Posted Tuesday, October 30, 2012, at 8:29 AM
Ike for President!
Any animal issue greatly affects Iowa due to many livestock farmers here in our state making a living by raising cattle, hogs, chickens, turkeys, and sheep for food sources. Unfortunately, Iowa sees companion animals (dogs, cats, etc.) as livestock. Why that is, I don't understand. There is clearly a difference between animals whose purpose is to feed us as opposed to animals that we choose to have as a companion, live in our home, and treat as though they are part of our family.
Unfortunately, with Iowa ranking #2 in the number of ''puppy mills'' in the US, there are dogs that are nothing more than a source of income for the breeder. They are trapped all of their lives in tiny wire cages, continually bred without ever stepping foot on the grass or feeling the tender touch of a human hand. The difference here, in my opinion, is that this ''livestock'' endures the suffering for many years. ''Regular livestock'' has a much shorter life span.
Until Iowa decides that companion animals are not livestock, we will continue to fight puppy mills, and the stringent rules and regulations placed on livestock.
As for the politicians trying every angle to earn my vote, I'm voting for Ike!

It baffles me how anyone can look into the eyes of a dog or cat - "companion animals" - and not see an intelligent, loving creature that deserves to be treated with respect. All animals deserve that, of course, but our pets have, over the centuries, evolved into something much more. They are members of our family, they keep us company, offer unconditional love as well as protection (okay, maybe not the cats so much) and in general enrich our lives.

Given that so many of the puppy mills in this area are owned by Amish/Mennonite, I would be curious as to how they reconcile large scale breeding with their cherished traditions. Amish farming has changed little since first settling here, and large scale breeding was never a part of the *old ways.* Settlers practiced careful animal husbandry to increase their cattle herds, horse stables, sheep herds, etc. Dogs were mated to provide dogs for herding, hunting, and protection on the frontier, and cats may be bred to provide more felines for pest control, but certainly nothing compared to the large scale milling of puppies. So, how do they reconcile the old ways that they live by with the large scale manufacturing, for lack of a better term, of puppies regardless if they see dogs as livestock or not? Also, the horrendous treatment and conditions these animals are subjected to would seem to fly in the face of God's edict that we treat all of his creatures with kindness and mercy.

My name is Stephanie O'Brien. I'm an animal lover and enjoy volunteering. I have combined those passions into providing a temporary home to animals that would otherwise be sitting in a shelter or worse, euthanized due to lack of room in a shelter. For the past two years I've fostered pit bull type dogs for a rescue in South Dakota. I've also had the opportunity to do some presentations on responsible pet ownership and have been involved in fighting breed specific legislation in SD and IA. I'm looking forward to providing the readers with animal related topics and possibly answer any questions you may have. Enjoy! Stephanie Sioux Empire Pit Rescue Volunteer

A "stand your ground" law allows people to use deadly force if they believe their life is in danger. Do you support it?
...so now I have to rely on the 9 to protect me and my heels! So don't be mad at me when I empty clips...blame society! LOL

You do know there was at one time my plan was to call 911 and hide out in a closet and arm myself with my high heels and wait for the boys to get there. If he opened the door I would start flinging my heels at him with an attempt to bounce a few off his face...
But Society has changed that plan. Now that we have just as many men out there that love to wear high heels too...I am not taking any chances flinging my heels at him...that might be what he is there to steal from me...
seriously, have your priced a good pair of heels today...it almost like you want to scream...take the flat screen, take the flat screen!

All this talk about center mass is interesting it really is but I can promise this to be a fact in my case.
An intruder breaks into my home. I am going to dial 911 and lay the phone down. The dispatcher and I can chat later. I am not going to worry about shooting center mass. I am going to unload that clip while I am screaming at he top of my lungs for help and when he is down, I might just unload another one because I know it will have messed up my manicure and I am going to really mad. He will not be getting back up to testify against me.
Then I am going to rip my shirt and slap my face red and beg on the mercy of the court. I am not going to be a victim because some airheads think people shouldn't shoot to kill and believe criminals are victims.

Of course it isn't over yet. The free loader sitting in the White house needs this distraction to run rampant. You think the main stream isn't controlled by him. When the media is focused on this...they are not focused on him and what he is doing behind the scenes.

rpmwwe you hit that nail on the head.
I know I will get a bunch of disagrees on this next statement because people do play with their hearts instead of their heads. But in today's society and how emotions control this country.
If you get in a situation just like the one George Zimmerman was in...your best bet is to make sure when you pull that weapon you better shoot to kill. You can't afford to have that person alive to testify against you. That is a fact.

Center mass was learned in the 60's.
Beaumont, I learned "Double tap to center mass" in the mid nineties as a Navy MP. And the purpose isn't to kill, it's merely the best aiming point to stop the action of the person you are shooting. The key here is "Stop." If you aim center mass and actually hit somewhere around there, the target is likely going to fall down, which stops him from performing whatever action he was doing. Of course, if well aimed, because of the training and practice you were correct in pointing out as important, than the target likely won't be getting back up. If you shoot to maim, you likely could miss entirely and I would think and you could even be proven to be somehow at legal fault because you purposely wanted an injury.

Okay, this post isn't about stand your ground, but is somewhat related. Yesterday Obama said 35 yrs ago he could have been Trayvon and has had the experience of people locking car doors or clutching purses when he was near. 25 years ago, in an urban setting with an international and mixed race group of friends, the question came up: Is it being prejudiced to cross to the other side of the street if a couple young black men are walking towards you? The black Women were unanimous in stating that They did, but usually didn't if it was young white men. So, prejudice or wisdom? If thefts in stores have been noticed after Hispanic males have been in who have touched things, put hands in pockets, and not bought anything, are you prejudiced or wise to watch/follow when they are in stores? (Okay, on stand your ground--in fear of your life, do you do what you Know will protect you, or what Might stop someone?)

"I really don't worry what anyone thinks of what I do"
If you are carrying then had better worry about what others think. There may be twelve of them deciding your fate someday. You may, or may not, be a competent marksman...I'm not questioning that part. What I'm really concerned about is your understanding of use of force. You may want to seek out some training in that subject.
I'm not trying to insult you or be disrespectful, but if you get into a shooting incident and say half the things you said here in court, then you're going to be quickly discredited and in a lot of trouble.

Beaumont, you are right that you don't have to kill someone to defend yourself. But what I would be against is anyone expecting me to have a duty to ensure someone is not killed during my action of defense. As NotSoc said, center mass. In the heat of the moment I doubt anybody would actually think about that stuff anyways and would just shoot. If the perp dies, he dies. You see it on the news all the time. Sometimes the scumbag lives and sometimes he doesn't. But then the scums family always comes out and says, "Why did you have to kill him?" Well, uhh, I didn't and I didn't necessarily try to either.

LOL! Here is a better one, I almost fell out my computer chair. A reporter went into a crowd of protestors and he snagged an interview with a young black mom in Oakland.
He asked her why she was protesting the verdict. She told the reporter now that Zimmerman was free she feared for the safety of her children with this killer walking the streets.
He asked her their ages and she said...10, 11, and 16.
The reporter quickly asked her if she would ever let her children after being suspended from school on a drug violation go out into the streets and walk a mile in the rain to buy candy.
She blurted out, heavens no, I don't know anybody stupid enough to do something like that. And she was holding a "I am Trayvon" sign!
That reporters face was priceless!

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As 2012 draws to a close, a pair of drug developers today said they wrapped up deals announced earlier in the year, with varying outcomes.
Acorda Therapeutics completed its acquisition of Neuronex, the developer of a nasal spray formulation of diazepam for which Acorda plans to pursue approvals starting in the new year. Acorda said it made a closing payment of $6.8 million to seal a deal that could be worth as much as $140.8 million.
Acorda is developing the formulation as a treatment for managing selected, refractory patients with epilepsy, on stable regimens of antiepileptic drugs, who require intermittent use of diazepam to control bouts of acute repetitive seizures (ARS).
According to Acorda, up to 175,000 people in the U.S. suffer from ARS despite being on stable regimens of antiepileptic medications. At present, the only approved outpatient treatment option for people who experience such seizures is DIASTAT® AcuDialTM (diazepam rectal gel), a rectally administered gel formulation of diazepam.
"Diazepam Nasal Spray is an important addition to our pipeline and aligns with our core strategy to develop and commercialize products that offer unique benefits to people with neurological diseases," Ron Cohen, M.D., Acorda's president and CEO, said in a statement. "This product leverages our existing sales, marketing and medical organizations, which have proved highly successful in bringing novel neurological therapies to market."
In addition to the $6.8 million closing payment, Acorda will pay Neuronex up to $18 million based on undisclosed regulatory and manufacturing-related milestones, and up to $105 million based on undisclosed specified sales milestones. Tiered upper single-digit to lower double-digit royalty-like "earnout" payments on sales will be paid if the product is approved. In addition, Acorda said, it will assume responsibility for regulatory and sales milestone payments of up to $11 million and single-digit royalties to third parties, based on existing Neuronex licensing agreements.
In a separate deal, Elan announced completion of a spin-out of what it termed a substantial portion of its Prothena (formerly Neotope) drug discovery business into a new, publicly traded independent company. The new Prothena, which is incorporated in Ireland, began trading shares today on NASDAQ.
Prothena rises out of the ashes of Elan, which shut down its South San Francisco drug discovery operations as part of a restructuring to end drug discovery and preclinical drug development programs by year's end. In a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Elan said the shutdown would cost it between $160 million and $180 million as it laid off most of the company's 400 employees in the region, shuttered the facility, and took charges against earnings.
Elan's restructuring was touched off over the summer, when an Alzheimer's disease drug candidate in which it had a financial stake failed two of its four Phase III clinical trials. The drug candidate, bapineuzumab, was co-developed by Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson entity Janssen Alzheimer Immunotherapy R&D. Bapineuzumab was designed to remove plaque-like deposits of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which interfere with the work of neurons.
Elan shareholders received one Prothena ordinary share for every 41 ordinary shares or ADSs they held in Elan at the demerger date of December 14. As of that date, Elan shareholders effectively owned all of Prothena, as they directly own 82% of Prothena's outstanding ordinary shares, with the other 18% owned indirectly by the company, through a wholly owned subsidiary of Elan that subscribed $26 million.

FBI banned from Iceland?
FBI Banned from Iceland
Attempted to infiltrate country in hunt for WikiLeaks.
REYKJAVÍK (Rixstep) — FBI agents landed in Reykjavík without prior notification in an attempt to investigate WikiLeaks operations in the country, but Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson found out about the visit and forced them to leave the country, with the Icelandic government then issuing a formal protest to US authorities, according to Islandsbloggen.
The hunt for WikiLeaks by the US has on several occasions involved private individuals and companies on Iceland. Authorities in the US have for example succeeded in obtaining account information from Twitter on parliamentarian Birgitta Jónsdóttir. Jónsdóttir today refuses to travel to the US out of fear of being arrested for her connections with WikiLeaks.
Birgitta Jónsdóttir is also one of the people behind a new piece of Icelandic media legislation which will make the country a bastion for freedom of speech and source protection. The law proposal is still a long way from being completed and can still take years before it's ratified by the Icelandic parliament.
This past summer the credit card company Valitor was forced by a court decision to again offer the opportunity to donate to WikiLeaks. Their payment channel had previously been closed off after massive pressure was brought to bear by international credit card companies which in turn was fueled by US efforts to stop the organisation. An appeal of the ruling is expected.
The Icelandic government have already protested against the activities of the US in Reykjavík. It's been found, for example, that the US embassy there is monitoring people who enter the immediate area, and they also attempt to thwart people taking pictures of their building, this despite it being perfectly legal.
A private plane landed at the Reykjavík airport in August 2011. Onboard were FBI agents who'd flown directly to Iceland from the US. Their mission was to investigate WikiLeaks operations in the country as part of a larger investigation of the whistleblower organisation. The FBI agents contacted the head of the national Icelandic police and the head prosecutor in an effort to gain access to all available information on WikiLeaks.
Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson learned of the visit and summoned the FBI agents. They were told that the Icelandic government would not permit a foreign power running their own investigations in the country. Jónasson admonished the FBI agents to return to the US. Foreign minister Össur Skarphéðinsson was given the task, after a special meeting of the cabinet, to formally protest against the behaviour of the US.
The story was revealed in an Icelandic national broadcaster RUV report on 30 January 2013 by WikiLeaks spokesperson Kristinn Hrafnsson. Hrafnsson explains.
'The FBI arrived in private planes and landed at the Reykjavík airport. According to my sources, which are highly reliable and which I have been able to corroborate, news of the visit reached Home Secretary Ögmundur Jónasson who reacted sharply, as it was unbelievably presumptuous to come to Iceland that way. According to my sources, Jónasson demanded that the FBI agents pack their bags, get back onboard, and leave the country. The matter was then brought before the cabinet and a formal protest was issued to US authorities.'
Ögmundur Jónasson corroborates for Morgunblaðið that FBI agents arrived on Iceland and remained in the country a few days. He claims he doesn't know how many there were, but that it was out of the question that a foreign power be allowed to conduct private investigations of Icelandic citizens and their activities in the country:
'I can corroborate this took place in August 2011. Agents from the FBI arrived in Iceland. They'll have to answer for what their plans were. I can also corroborate that they wanted to get the cooperation of the national police and the national prosecutor's office.'

A tax agreement that would impact North Charleston's redevelopment plans and Charleston County School District revenues will be on the table at a school board committee meeting Tuesday.
The outcome could determine whether the school district shifts up to $6 million in property tax money to North Charleston, over 15 years. And while the potential agreement involves two local governments determining the use of public tax dollars, the school board plans to hold some of the discussion behind closed doors.
The committee meeting agenda says the school board members will review North Charleston's request and develop a potential response in an "executive session" which the public can not attend.
School Board vice chairman Tom Ducker said the committee is negotiating a contract, and can therefore meet in executive session.
"They have given us a proposal, we have countered, and tomorrow we will discuss it," Ducker said Monday. "There's probably some sense that board has to have the freedom to speak about the proposals and negotiate."
North Charleston is preparing to extend a special tax district, and has asked the school district to participate. The city proposed that the school district give up 90 percent of its new tax revenues within a 693-acre swath of the city, until 2028, to help fund redevelopment efforts there.
The school district has not revealed its counter-offer.
The only other item on the school board committee's agenda Tuesday is "discuss next steps" after returning to an open session.
"If you're discussing sharing taxes with another entity, why in the world would you want to do that behind closed doors?" said attorney Jay Bender, who represents the South Carolina Press Association and has published two books about South Carolina media law.
Bender said the law does allow, but does not require, negotiations involving a contract to be discussed in executive session. He said reviewing and developing a response to a city's request to share tax revenues does not amount to negotiating a contract.
"I can't think of a reason that you would discuss the imposition of a tax, or the sharing of a tax, behind closed doors," Bender said.
School Board Chair Cindy Bohn Coats is not a member of the committee that will meet Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., at 75 Calhoun St., but Coats said the committee is following the state's open meeting laws.
"I'm comfortable that we are complying with the rules," she said. "The only piece in executive session would be negotiating."
The full school board is expected to vote on the tax question at a meeting Dec. 9.
At issue is the city's plan to expand and prolong an existing a tax increment financing district. In a TIF district, new property taxes generated in a specified area are dedicated to public amenities in the same area, such as building sidewalks and beautifying streets.
For a city, a TIF district can be a way of getting revenue that would have gone to a county government or school district and channelling it to city initiatives. There are many TIF districts in Charleston County, and the theory is that they spur development which builds the tax base for the long term.
North Charleston's existing TIF has not been generating enough money to pay the bills, so the city wants to extend the expiration date, from 2018 to 2028, and increase its 629-acre size by another 64 acres.
The area includes several large development plans, including The Beach Company's GARCO mill project and the former Naval Hospital, which is under contract to a developer.
North Charleston Director of Administration and Finance Warren Newton said the TIF could over 15 years generate between $9 million and $13 million in new property tax.
"The school district's portion of the TIF revenues could range anywhere from $4,200,000 to $6,000,000 of that total," Newton said in an email.
Charleston County already agreed to participate, shifting an estimated $1.8 million to $2.6 million to the TIF. The rest of the tax money comes from North Charleston's share.

that's not enough for customers -- "AT&T is the worst
the 58,000 ConsumerReports.org readers surveyed,
AT&T received the lowest customer satisfaction score and was the
only carrier to drop significantly. Of the AT&T respondents, more
than half were iPhone users. According to the survey, they were "much
less satisfied with their carrier and rated data service (Web and

findings mirror those of an earlier
study by Deloitte, which found that nearly half of all current
iPhone users would be interested in switching to a Verizon iteration
of the device, mostly due to overwhelming dissatisfaction with AT&T.

is rumored, could indeed be good news for iPhone fans," said

other interesting findings of the CR survey:
U.S. Cellular, in a major coup, overcame Verizon Wireless as the
top-rated wireless provider for contract service.
Sprint, in "a remarkable turnaround," scored higher than
Verizon -- the de facto leader in overall satisfaction since 2003 --
in some aspects, and pulled even with Big Red overall.

T-Mobile is really starting to slide though. I guess they are going to be purchased this year. Probably by Comcast.
