SPEARMAN - The Texas Panhandle is home to its own alligator farm.
Alligators, native to the swamplands of places such as Louisiana and Florida, thrive in a man-made, controlled environment on the outskirts of Spearman, drawing hundreds of sightseers from across the country, farm owner Dean Coates said. The next closest alligator farm is in Plano, he said.
"I want to expose people to the alligator industry and give them the opportunity to see alligators," Coates said. "Up here, you just don't have alligators."
David Sinclair, chief of wildlife enforcement with Texas Parks and Wildlife, said alligator farms are more common in Southeast Texas, around the Louisiana border and Gulf area.
"They are uncommon and unusual for the Panhandle," Sinclair said.
The idea for an alligator farm sprouted on a trip to Mobile, Ala., where Coates was doing contract work as an aircraft mechanic. He visited an alligator farm there and he thought "that would work in Amarillo."
The cost of buying the land for the farm in Amarillo, however, was too much, so he settled in Spearman for the time being, he said.
The farm opened on Thanksgiving and features four large alligators, averaging 35 years of age, and more than a dozen small alligators, each about 1 to 2 years old, Coates said. Coates has owned alligators since 1997, but getting the gators to the area wasn't an easy feat to accomplish.
Coates had to obtain a permit from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department to operate an alligator farm. He said he has to travel to South Texas to buy the alligators for his farm. He also has to ensure that all souvenir items, such as alligator skins, teeth or other alligator parts, are documented and identified.
Texas Parks and Wildlife recently ticketed Coates for selling unidentified parts in his store.
"Any alligator part in possession in Texas has to be documented," Sinclair said. "It slows down the black market."
Alligator farmers have to abide by regulations set forth by Texas Parks and Wildlife, he said. The gators have to have suitable amounts of water and space in which to live. The farmers have to send in annual reports and are subject to inspection at any time, Sinclair said.
Coates said the parts he bought from South Texas were unidentified at the time of purchase.
"Other alligator farmers hadn't been identifying each item," Coates said. "By law, you're supposed to."
Coates said the permit doesn't say all parts have to be documented, but the law says it does.
Coates also was ticketed by TPW for having a live alligator in a Fourth of July parade in Spearman, he said. His alligator farmer's permit doesn't include showcasing the live animal.
Texas Parks and Wildlife must regulate scientific studies on the alligator to determine public safety, according to the department.
Next year, Coates said, he plans to take a stuffed alligator for the parade instead of a live one.
Coates' motivations in bringing the wildlife creatures to West Texas are simple: education, entertainment and ultimately tourism.
"Tourism is one of the leading industries in Texas," Coates said. "Spearman might just as well take advantage of the tourism industry. People want to see alligators, and they don't have to go clear to Florida to see them."
Ashton Metcalf, 17, of Fort Collins, Colo., and Dane Foltin, 13, of Houston stopped by to see the Spearman attraction while visiting their grandmother, Marva Hohertz.
"I've seen them in a zoo but never this close before," Metcalf said while peering over the fence at the 11-foot, 350-pound reptiles.
Foltin said he has seen alligators before in Houston and enjoys watching the animals.
"They're cool. They're like dinosaurs," Foltin said.
Hohertz, a resident of Spearman, said the alligator farm is a unique feature of the small town. It is beneficial to the community because it brings in visitors.
Metcalf said an alligator farm is "unique to anywhere. We don't have anything like this in Fort Collins."
Coates said he plans to expand his farm and move it to Amarillo as soon as he can raise the funds to do so.
"It takes a long time to get everything together," Coates said. "I think it would be good for Amarillo. It's just coming up with money to do it."

Satellite spots 122 objects in Malaysia jet search
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- A French satellite scanning the Indian Ocean for remnants of a missing jetliner found a possible plane debris field containing 122 objects, a top Malaysian official said Wednesday, calling it "the most credible lead that we have."
Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein also expressed exasperation with the anger rising among missing passengers' relatives in China, who berated Malaysian government and airline officials earlier in the day in Beijing. About two-thirds of the missing are Chinese, but Hishammuddin pointedly said that Chinese families "must also understand that we in Malaysia also lost our loved ones" as did "so many other nations."
Nineteen days into the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, the latest satellite images are the first to suggest that a debris field from the plane -- rather than just a few objects -- may be floating in the southern Indian Ocean, though no wreckage has been confirmed. Previously, an Australian satellite detected two large objects and a Chinese satellite detected one.
All three finds were made in roughly the same area, far southwest of Australia, where a desperate, multinational hunt has been going on for days.
Clouds obscured the latest satellite images, but dozens of objects could be seen in the gaps. At a news conference in Kuala Lumpur, Hishammuddin said some of them "appeared to be bright, possibly indicating solid materials."

I expect the PACS database would contain information about all the
studies, online or offline. Actually, the study storage status is
usually flag attached to a study somewhere in the PACS database.
Your query should work. Of course, provided your query is correct.
You need to be more specific about what are you trying to query for.
There is also the possibility that the patient has more exams than the
limit imposed on the number of returned results. How many responses do
you get back? A suspect number would be either of 25, 50, 100...
500... The imposed limit depends heavily on the hardware the database
is running on.

The Dragon St. George Could Not Slay: Tucker's Plan to End Slavery
Paul Finkelman
Albany Law School - Government Law Center
February 2006
William & Mary Law Review, Vol. 47, No. 4, 2006
In this article, Professor Finkelman discusses St. George Tucker's relationship with slavery. On one hand, he was an advocate of abolition and considered slavery inconsistent with the principles of the American Revolution. On the other hand, Tucker was a slave owner himself and provided the legal basis for declaring all persons of African ancestry as slaves in the Hudgins v. Wrights decision. While in his early years Tucker advocated the emancipation of slaves in the state of Virginia, in his later life he used slaves to better his own economic situation.

100 MPG on Gasoline: Could We Really?
Tom Murphy, Energy Bulletin
AP Photo
Since I was a teenager, I frequently heard stories that some guy had invented a car that could get 100 miles per gallon (MPG), but that powerful interests (often GM, Chevron, etc.) had bought rights to the idea and sat on it. We suckers were left to shell out major bucks for gasoline, when a solution was in hand and under wraps.
Leaving aside the notion that such a design would bring unbelievable prosperity to its holder (i.e., no real incentive to sit on it), let's look at what physics says is possible.

City leaders hope to break ground on the Paseo improvement project within the next six months.
On Tuesday voters gave the project the green light. Drivers said they're tired of the bottleneck traffic that they get caught in everyday near Paseo del Norte and Interstate 25.
The state's Department of Transportation will be in charge of the construction and Mayor Richard Berry said they're already trying to make sure the construction doesn't increase traffic.
"I know they're doing everything they can to make sure the construction is the least intrusive as possible," Berry said.
Nearly two-thirds of voters in Albuquerque passed $50 million of bonds for the project. Berry hopes the entire project will be done in two or 2 1/2 years.

Contrary to a media report, the Charleston Cancer Center is not turning away patients as a result of federal sequestration cuts, an administrator at the practice confirmed Friday afternoon.
Kirk Daniel, chief operations officer at the center, said the practice will continue to treat its patients, including those with Medicare plans. He said The Washington Post inaccurately reported that the Charleston Cancer Center informed some patients that they will need to seek treatment for their cancer elsewhere.
The Post article was published online Thursday.
Daniel said the Charleston Cancer Center did publish an announcement called "Stop Sequester Cuts to Cancer Care," which was made available at the office.
It encourages patients to call their legislators because federal sequestration cuts threaten to undercut future business.
Daniel said, if necessary, the center will coordinate a treatment plan with area hospitals to ensure that patients get the chemotherapy and radiation drugs they need.
A spokeswoman at the Medical University of South Carolina and an administrator at Roper St. Francis Healthcare confirmed those hospitals are prepared to take more cancer patients.

How to Travel with Photo Gear
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
The Long and Winding Road - Travelling with Photographic Equipment
I'm packing again. I sometimes wonder why I bother unpacking, it seems such a recurring task. A month ago we returned from Vietnam, then the Isle of Skye beckoned, and now we're off to the Philippines. Once again the spare room is a loading depot with camera bags gaping open and clothing, chargers, books, boots and sunglasses ready to pack. I've the usual headaches; how many lenses can I take, how to get it all on the plane and how will we fare jumping on and off boats with it all in the Sulu Sea. There are so many variables to consider; and each and every trip is different.
I remember a scene from Michael Palin's Pole to Pole when he was checking in at an airport. The camera panned around to reveal all the crew and their kit forming their own snaking queue, with innumerable aluminium cases, booms, tripods and soft bags cluttering the terminal, not to mention bodies. I was envious. The thought of taking what I like with someone else sorting it all out and paying the excess baggage is so appealing. But in the Real World I have to always make compromises and box clever, paring down what comes along to what we can carry. There is a powerful argument for keeping it simple; photography does not have to be a logistical exercise akin to the invasion of Iraq. With one DSLR and two lenses like a 24-70mm & 70-200mm a roving photographer is well equipped for most situations. Being there is the important thing, not how much gear is being deployed, and travelling light has so many advantages. With this basic set up a small camera bag that causes no back injuries or raised eyebrows at check in is just the job. So that clearly is the way I should approach the Philippines trip. But of course I'll need a spare body, and chargers. I'll want to use my 85mm f1.2 for portraits, and I can't live without my tilt & shifts these days. A long tom perspective can be so handy, so the 100-400mm has to go in. Not to mention the 16-35mm, fisheye, 14mm, flash and tripod. I'll need to back up images as cards are filled, process a few images for the newsletter on the hoof and write my despatches as we go, so the portable hard drive and lap top have to come. It's all just got a whole lot more complicated. I need to go back to basics and try to get a handle on the essentials. A logical approach is needed.
Annapurna: Annapurna, Nepal. Fuji GX617 panoramic camera. For a Himalayan trek a camera bag with a backpacking harness was necessary.
With any journey what needs to be packed is determined by where we're headed, and how we're travelling. Clearly the requirements for a Himalayan trek are very different to a road trip to Provence. The most difficult trip to pack for is a long haul cool weather camping trip to a wilderness location. There's all the photographic gear to consider plus camping kit, thermal and waterproof clothing, and all the rest. That's not so bad if it can all be loaded in the back of the car, but to fly with it all is a nightmare. Get a bunch of photographers together and inevitably the conversation will turn to the hassles of flying with all our gear. We lay awake at night staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning whilst envisaging uncomfortable confrontations with intransigent check in staff. It is the point of no return, that moment when the camera bag containing all those precious optics is threatened with consignment to the hold because it's too big or heavy. A camera bag stuffed with top of the range DSLRs and expensive glass is about to be manhandled and pilfered ruthlessly by swarthy, tattooed and corrupt baggage handlers initially trained as Ukrainian weight lifters. I'm coming out in a cold sweat just writing this. It doesn't bare thinking about. I think we can surmise choice of camera bag is critical.
Morraine Lake in winter, Alberta, Canada. Canon 1Ds mkIII, 16-35mm lens. For landscape work a sizeable bag is handy to carry all the gear plus the extra clothing needed.

I think this article has been truncated somewhere along the line. It started well enough, setting the scene nicely then just stops ;-)
Stops where, Paul?
You should see 3 pages…
I'm just switching out of my LowePro Computrekker Plus AW, which has served me well the past 4 years or so. The problem is the weight when travelling; because it will be my one carry-on, I load it up with a ton of stuff - books, computer, camera gear. A lot of this stuff will stay in the hotel while I am out shooting, but lugging it around for a few hours at the airport is killer on the back.
My new bag is an Ape Case ACPro4000. Has the same capacity as my Computrekker PLus aW, but has a detachable roller! This is a great solution, a roller bag for the airport that then converts to a rugged backpack for going on a shoot!
So French attitude :o) J'adore!!!!!
Nice! This is the best editorial article on camera bags I've read so far. I like how it puts camera bags in perspective of photographic journeys and assignments.
Good luck with the airport staff in the Philippines! They can easily compete to win number 1 as most pedantic, non-sensical and obtuse ground staff in the world! And you are lucky if at the end you manage to take off at all…But if you do, once you have overcome all the obstacles, don't relax until you are out of the airport building: in fact the most idiotic staff of all are those standing in front of the exit door, tasked with stopping loaded, exhausted passengers demanding them to hand over their airline receipt of the checked-in luggage! And don't hope to get away with it, if you happen to have misplaced it. Unless you have been living in this country for 15 years like me and you have already acquired the necessary skills to roar at them wildly enough to blow them off your way.
"Swarthy"? That word alone made me read the whole thing. Swarthy!
Then I read the rest of the article and was left wondering why it wasn't titled "Camera bags are important" "Various camera bags have different merits" . But thanks for the nice photos.
I think the article is about packing for the outdoor trip, not for packing to get in and out of the airport and planes.
Well I travel with a mere LowePro Flipside 400AW, but I've had a conversion - I'm only going to take 5D2 and all the clutter when I know for sure I'll need it. My general travel camera will be Panasonic GH2 with 14-140 and a 20mm pancake stuffed in a pocket. It's not just the weight, there is a benefit in a camera that looks "amateur" it attracts less attention instead of waving a "white" lens around. I'd rather have 85% of the image quality than no image at all.
i'm from the philippines, i'm sure you will have a wonderful time here in PH as there are lot's of wonderful places here. happy tripping…
Some good information that you have shared in the bog and the tips would be useful one.
The picture that you have taken are really a well shot one.
Thanks and appreciate your work.
nice lowerpro lineup ad
nice packing :)
@yi chen
Yup, but to get the gear, and the bag you want to carry it in, to the outdoor shoot, you first have to get all that stuff on and off a plane - that's the attraction of this Ape Case bag, it is designed to do both duties well. I'll see how it works in practice next week, as I am heading out to Armenia followed by a couple of days in Paris. For the Paris portion of the trip I think I will be missing having something a little smaller to tote gear around in though, so I might throw one of my smaller crumplers in my checked bags.
Looking at the pictures you could have taken all of them with a Canon s95 or a Panasonic LX5. Even the pictures with the Buddhist monks if you fiddle with Photoshop afterwards. If you not using them for print of course.
For me it's one lens on my 5D Mk2, f/2 35mm, and a Canon S90 (on RAW) for backup. Oh the relief after years of back-ache. Now if the numbers come up make that a Leica M9!
As soon as I read this article, I was reminded of former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Koy Detmer who literally traveled to his team's away football games with a only his toothbrush and the clothes he was wearing. Of course, his game uniform/equipment was transported by the team.
I guess I am paranoid and averse to leaving my DSLR pro equipment at the hands of some careless airline and its personnel.
I carry a compact Canon g11 which fits in my pants pocket, one external flash and quantum battery, a miniature tripod and a few memory cards and camera batteries. It can all fit in a small "belly-bag" around my waist. I've got a nice range of zooms on the camera, with a large sensor and the ability to shoot raw images.
It's great for backpacking trips too!
Happy Shooting!
"Swarthy" corrupt baggage handlers??
Looks like travel has sadly failed to broaden the mind here…
Nice article. I must be the only photographer that uses the tripod attachment on my Kata 467-i. I find it invaluable as I need my hands free if the terrain is rough and I need to climb.
Why is it no one talks about a bag that will carry drinking water, rain gear, 1st aid kit, in addition to camera gear. I live in Alaska and don't even hike behind my house without these necessities, let alone travel without them but I have never found a bag that will do both.
I use a portare backpack. Its saved my gear from rain, bumps ,bruises, airports train stations and generally from the vagaries of travel.
I've traveled to Asia (thailand, China, Taiwan, India), Europe (Italy, England, Spain and Finland), South America (Brazil and Argentina) with my trusty $99 Portare' camera backpack.
I just wanted something that will keep my great safe, without costing so much that I had to worry about keeping the bag safe.
Sounds like a nightmare, which is the reason why I bring my low end DSLR when I travel. It's not a great camera, but it achieves a quality better than a point and shoot, and I get to manually control the exposure.
Finally someone has talked about Portare bags. I love mine because of its lightweight and how customizable it is. Have a safe trip.
I see where i am going wrong i don't have the wine in my bag!
Just buy a Canon G12 or similar
You can run up hills with one of those
For an article about camera bags, it would have been nice to see a few (or at least one) and their interiors, instead of the authors photos. Not a succinct article, nor really very tightly focused. His personal reflections bored me after a while. There are too many of these types of articles out there, more musings than real information
I am travelling at the end of the week.
Would like to know how to fit a DSLR cannon 550D with 1 lens and a laptop in the same back pack.
So there is always the challenge of traveling with Underwater camera gear as well. I have my slr and my housing at one stage. I just sized down to the canon g12 and using the kata 33in1 bag now. Holds he slr, small cam, housing, chargers, hard drive, strobes, multiple lenses and the laptop still but didn't break my back on the load I carry. It is a solid option to look at and there are others that make similar items.
Ive got massive nips,what do you suggest I do?
Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right,or doing it better
One of the biggest lessons I have learned in my years playing around with cameras, is that cameras are sensitive gadgets, that's why you need a quality camera bag like the cam bag to safely transport your camera gear.
Informative article.

Here's to 2014, fellow citizens of Ravalli County! May we resolve that in this brand new year, where hope always springs eternal, we vote out Commissioners Foss, Stoltz and Burrows for their unfailing hypocrisy and managerial incompetence. We owe this to ourselves and to the welfare of our valley.
Being an independent-voting progressive with conservative underpinnings, I respect differing opinions, philosophies, and ideologies. I respect the integrity of folks who are willing to practice what they preach, even if I disagree. I expect job competence. Unfortunately our three Tea Party Commissioners don't pass the integrity and competency tests and should be voted out. Replace them with competently governing, pragmatic conservatives, independents, or whatever. We need change in 2014.
The three Tea Partiers, as Ravalli residents have clearly witnessed, are incompetent at their job and are hypocrites to boot.
Here's my Top 10 call outs, in no particular order, of their hypocrisy and incompetence. It's an extemporaneous list—surely incomplete and understating the damage they've done and the trouble we're still in for 2014.
1) Commissioners Burrows, Foss and Stoltz don't believe government should be involved in healthcare, yet they greedily consume county government health insurance. They are hypocrites. Their handsome government insurance costs us thousands, adding to government spending and to our debt that they so abhor. Double hypocrites.
2) The Commissioners have relentlessly cut jobs over the past three years, after promising more jobs for our county through their efforts and good management. They never seriously considered reducing their own number from 5 to 3. This'd save us more than $100,000. Folks, would you rather have two unneeded commissioners or a fully staffed Road Department for winter plowing and keeping our roads safe? Where are the jobs?
3) They've been completely incompetent at overseeing the Road Department and Treasurer's Office. Lawsuits and low morale abound, while competently qualified new hires are absent. They appointed a Treasurer who's unqualified, has three aliases, was delinquent in paying her own taxes, and is storing our paid county taxes in her office drawers. Where's the money? Enough said.
4) The Commissioners approved the Legacy Ranch subdivision against the wishes of 80 to 90%+ of county residents who commented. They disregarded serious safety, infrastructure, natural resource, economic, and land use concerns in approving this development monstrosity that'll forever change our valley and way of life.
5) The Commissioners are totally wasting our taxpayer money and the previous Commission's (and citizens') hard work, by steamrolling yet another Airport Expansion Plan and Environmental Assessment down our throats. In doing so they'll accept more federal money, raising our national debt, and will do the bidding of a select few jet-setting millionaires and billionaires who have vacation homes in the Bitterroot.
6) The Commissioners fully supported the Ravalli Off-Roaders' obstructionist appeal of the Bitterroot's 3 Saddle Vegetation Management Project. This caused lost jobs for locals and contradicts the Commissioners' supposed priorities for Forest management, tree cutting, jobs, and fire safety.
7) Related to #6, the Commissioners used their authoritarian powers to adopt a radically dangerous, backward thinking County Resource Plan that basically just cuts our forest down, while ignoring rational, science-based Forest management and watershed restoration. The Commissioners, like the off-road organization, don't believe any Forest road should be closed or decommissioned, no matter how damaging the unneeded, poorly designed road is to clean water, fish, elk, or recreational activities like hiking, hunting, or fishing. The Commissioners' "Resource Plan" downgrades wildlife, habitat, clean water, ecological integrity, and quiet recreation to a meaningless afterthought.
8) At least one Commissioner, Suzy Foss, wants us to surrender our public lands to the state, locking us out. History shows this snake oil scheme will undeniably lead to our public lands being sold off to developers and resource extractors. Suzy, her realtor husband, and Charles Schwab may win in this land grab, but we'll lose. Not one Commissioner had the spine to go on record in support of keeping our federal lands in public hands. That's embarrassing.
9) The Tea Partiers (Foss, Stoltz, Burrows) have such blind ideological devotion to their extreme political philosophy that it leads to governing incompetency. This occurs through political cronyism in appointing unqualified tea party brethren (e.g. Stamey); a take-no-prisoner, uncompromising governing attitude; disenfranchising a majority of valley residents; and ultimately causing self-inflicted harm to us, the local economy, the environment, and our children's future.
10) The three Tea Partiers' hypocrisy, incompetence, and extreme political views cannot be more evident than in their inhumane closure of the Family Planning Clinic—a clinic that saved lives and was the lifeline for 400+ residents. That shameful act by Foss, Burrows and Stoltz sums up their true colors.
Folks, for a brighter and healthier future in the Bitterroot, let's resolve in 2014 to vote out Foss, Stoltz and Burrows. Cheers.

High heels may be the root cause of your plantar fasciitis symptoms. Regular heels wearers may experience heel pain, but those who abruptly change from heels to flats might be doing even worse damage. Learn how to wean yourself off your high heels slowly to avoid harming your calves.
High heels and your heel pain
Causes of painful heels can be directly traced back to high heel use in some pairs of feet. If you wear heels routinely for many years, your calf muscles are likely to shrink. Suddenly curbing high heel use and switching to flat-heeled shoes can cause excessive damage to the Achilles tendon in those shrunken calves, and the tendon may rip and tear. Instead of switching immediately from high heels to no heels, try an intermediate height to slowly wean yourself away. Knock a few inches off your normal heel height to bring yourself back down to ground level slowly.
You don't have to change your high heels to experience painful plantar fasciitis symptoms -- you just need to wear them to do that. When you wear high heels you change the weight distribution in your body. Your normal gait is affected the moment you put on high heels. Your feet are responsible for bearing all of your weight, and even distribution is the healthiest thing you can possibly do for your heels. Going barefoot is much better than wearing high heels in terms of foot health.
Other shoes you shouldn't be wearing
High heels are among the heel pain causes that lead to plantar fasciitis symptoms, but they're probably not the only unsafe shoes you've got in your closet. Flip-flops, mules and sandals that slip on may also change the way you walk. Shoes that don't offer any ankle or heel connections force the toes to grip when walking, which can deform toes and create painful symptoms. Wear supportive, cushioning shoes or add orthotics and inserts to your existing (flat) pairs to keep heels healthy and avoid painful plantar fasciitis sympoms.
Treating plantar fasciitis symptoms
Avoiding plantar fasciitis symptoms is ideal, but not always possible. Even normal walking and exercise can lead to painful symptoms. Try massage and ice to ease the pain away. The ice will help cool the inflammation, while the massage will relax tense muscles. Stretch daily to keep tendons healthy and prevent plantar fasciitis symptoms. Regular stretching exercises upon waking, before sleeping and before and after activity will help you avoid and treat heel pain.
Don't love with pain, avoid it. Learn how in our free report, Plantar Fasciitis Treatment: 5 Quick Fixes for Immediate Relief.

The Washington Times reports that a decision from the District Court is imminent. The argument, in a nutshell, is that ObamaCare being a tax, the Constitution requires it to "originate" in the House:
All bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives; but the Senate may propose or concur with amendments as on other Bills.
The lawsuit is brought by the Pacific Legal Foundation, which explained how ObamaCare came about:
[T]he Obama Administration's health care law did not originate in the House; it originated in the Senate, when Senator Harry Reid "amended" a bill the House had passed by striking out all of its text and replacing it with the Senate-written bill that eventually became Obamacare.
The Washington Times article says the government has filed a brief saying that shell bills are constitutional:
"This commonplace procedure satisfied the Origination Clause," said the brief. "It makes no difference that the Senate amendments to H.R. 3590 were expansive. The Senate may amend a House bill in any way it deems advisable, even by amending it with a total substitute, without running afoul of the Origination Clause."
The brief cites a number of cases in which courts upheld shell bills, but foundation attorneys counter that those rulings involved the Senate substitution of one revenue-raising bill for another:
"Here, by contrast, it is undisputed that H.R. 3590 was not originally a bill for raising revenue. Unlike in the prior cases, the Senate's gut-and-amend procedure made H.R. 3590 for the first time into a bill for raising revenue."
The original bill passed by the House of Representatives was the "Service Members Home Ownership Act of 2009." Reid literally used that bill as a shell, eliminated every word, and replaced it with the language of ObamaCare. It is as cynical a bypass of the Origination Clause as one can imagine.
We'll soon learn if the District Court believes the Origination Clause means anything.
This is the SLW board. Nobody cares.
Any questions?
It is most bewildering to read your posts. Why don't you look at Canada ?
We don't have any deductions for HealthCare. We pay it all with our taxes.
That means everybody, everybody with a valid Health Card is covered.
There is no debate about Health Care. We sort of take it for granted.
Our meaning for "government" is: "All (government) for one, and one for all".
The number One in the World, (United States), is transferring the wealth
from the Poor to the Rich. The poor people with never win, and the rich people
are organized (GOP). That's my take.
I read about this last night myself. The piece that I had said that in previous instances other bills had been challenged on the same grounds. The challenges failed.
Americans are either going to stand their ground and say hell refusing to take part or pay the piper or they are going to have Obamacare. Don't wait for the GOP to do anything about it either. Despite the rhetoric they are nearly as guilty or if you don't like that term, use complicit.
WELL, NOW IT BECOMES CLEAR WHY CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS DECLARED OBAMACARE TO BE A TAX, CONFOUNDING AND OUTRAGING THE FAR RIGHT...who, as is typical, were too dumb to realize that he was handing them a back door way to overthrow Obamacare. Since Roberts is generally a Conservative, he shocked many by handing Obama what is likely to turn out to be a superficial and temporary victory. Can't really recall all the details of that year or so ago case, but I remember clearly the shock of all, and the vicious anger of the far right, that Roberts then seemed to side with Obama.
....so why wasn't obamacare stopped then and there. if it was a tax, and taxes originate in the house, roberts could have declared it unconstitutional at that time
i don't get it

Mosquitoes in Pismo Beach tested positive for the West Nile virus.
The California Department of Public Health says the mosquitoes were collected on July 9th and 10th at the city's Chumash Park.
The creeks and freshwater ponds were treated with an insecticide on July 18. The best breeding conditions for mosquitoes is during warm weather.
Protect yourself by removing standing water in and around your home or business.
In California this year, there have been four confirmed human cases of West Nile virus. Two were in Los Angeles County.

In general, filesystem encryption is better, because you achieve full
secrecy, while individual file encryption only provides partial secrecy:
Your directory hierarchy is in clear-text, but more importantly the file
system journal (if any) might disclose a lot of information about a
In all cases, encrypting the whole file-systems (and all other places,
where the data might end up - like swap and /tmp) is always more secure.
The drawback is a small performance impact. However, my Pentium 1 with
233 MHz was suitable, and on my current Duron with 1.6 GHz, I don't even
notice a difference. I'm using dm-crypt for my filesystems.
> The thought of encrypting an entire partition or file system worries
> me a little, perhaps because it seems like a black box to me [...]
Filesystem encryption is essentially very easy. Imagine that you don't
write data onto your hard-drives directly, but instead send it to a
machine (a loop device in case of Cryptoloop or Loop-AES [1], or a
device mapper in case of dm-crypt). This machine takes the data,
encrypts it and writes it to the disk. It's like an intermediate layer
between the filesystem driver and the hard-disk.
Setting this up is pretty straightforward, but you have to take it into
account while planning your partitioning scheme (except Loop-AES, where
you can encrypt a clear-text partition).
> [...] and I worry I might lose everything doing that if it goes wrong,
> etc.
Remember that you're going to lose data anyway, if anything goes wrong.
In case of filesystem encryption, you would obviously lose an entire
partition, while with file encryption only the particular file is lost.
However, the only case where this happens (or should happen) is loss of
the key or passphrase, or filesystem damage.
Encryption would necessarily be worthless, if data could be recovered
without the key.

Colegio de Martilleros y Corredores Públicos de San Isidro was formed on September 18, 1965 to raise the standards of the real estate profession in Argentina. The Colegio represents approximately 1,200 members from the metropolitan regional area of Buenos Aires and has representations in other major cities in the country. Its members specialize in residential, commercial and agricultural properties and also conduct valuations. Under a national umbrella, the Colegio represents 20,000 industry professionals.
The Colegio was established after Province Legislature conferred self-regulatory rights and control of the license granting process to a group of professionals. It was subsequently organized into 18 Judicial Departments, each of which plays a key role in the legal, economic and social fabric of their community. In 2000, a public law was passed creating a college level degree for the auctioneer and real estate-related professions. The Colegio, already active in training and education, opened a new education center to offers real estate education within the highest standards of academic excellence. Students graduate with a diploma recognized nationwide for the quality of the instruction, the academic achievements of its faculty and the demanding curriculum.
The Colegio has organized and hosted highly successful conferences. Members are active in various national and international industry groups, including ICREA, CIMECH, SOM and FIABCI. SOM is the country's leading property advertising site (Multiple Listing Service) and has a strong international presence.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) - America's most wanted football coach peered through the peephole, cracked open his front door and peeked one suspicious eye toward his unexpected visitor.
No, Steve Spurrier said, he hasn't met face to face with anyone from the Washington Redskins. And no, he insisted, he wasn't going to reveal exactly which NFL teams he was talking to, or when those meetings were taking place.
"I'm talking to some teams," he told The Associated Press at his house Saturday. "Something will probably happen next week."
And so, America's great football mystery - the Steve Spurrier Sweepstakes - rolls on.
Based on reports in various newspapers, the Redskins and the Carolina Panthers appear most interested in the coach who suddenly resigned from Florida on Jan. 4 to explore job possibilities in the NFL.
But Spurrier told The AP, 'No,' when asked if he had met with Redskins owner Dan Snyder or his right-hand man, Pepper Rodgers. The Orlando Sentinel had said a meeting was expected to take place in Gainesville on Friday or Saturday.
Spurrier was asked if he met with Panthers president Mark Richardson in Gainesville on Wednesday, as the Sentinel reported.
"You don't need to be coming around here anymore," was all the coach would offer.
The Redskins insist they are still dealing with the Marty Schottenheimer situation.
The Washington Post reported Saturday that Snyder was growing frustrated with Schottenheimer's refusal to surrender some of his authority over personnel decisions to a new general manager.
The newspaper said some team officials believe Schottenheimer wants Snyder to fire him so he can collect the $7.5 million owed to him for the remainder of his contract.
Last year, Snyder made a failed bid to land Spurrier, which led to the hiring of Schottenheimer. The Post has reported that Snyder will pursue Spurrier again, but Redskins officials insist no talks are currently taking place.
"We have no plans to talk to any coach this weekend, except maybe coach Schottenheimer," a Redskins team source told The AP on Saturday, speaking on the condition of anonymity.
While the Panthers and the Redskins appear most interested in Spurrier, nobody can completely count out San Diego, Atlanta, Indianapolis or even Tampa Bay, where the St. Petersburg Times reported that Bill Parcells is the coach in waiting should Tony Dungy go.

The summary below is from the full report titled "The Stool Antigen Test for Detection of Helicobacter pylori after Eradication Therapy." It is in the 19 February 2002 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine (volume 136, pages 280-287). The authors are D Vaira, N Vakil, M Menegatti, B van't Hoff, C Ricci, L Gatta, G Gasbarrini, M Quina, JM Pajares Garcia, A van der Ende, R van der Hulst, M Anti, C Duarte, JP Gisbert, M Miglioli, and G Tytgat.
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a common type of bacteria that people usually get infected with during childhood. In most cases, the infection does not cause symptoms. However, some people with H. pylori infection eventually develop inflammation of the stomach (gastritis) or ulcers in the stomach or upper small intestine. Gastritis and ulcers cause abdominal pain and, sometimes, bleeding. Doctors often treat gastritis and ulcers caused by H. pylori with a combination of several antibiotics that are given for several days. Treatment gets rid of H. pylori in most patients, but 10% to 20% of patients may have persistent infection despite treatment. Continuing abdominal pain does not reliably identify patients with persistent H. pylori infection because there are other reasons why people can have continued pain. Ideally, a simple noninvasive test could be used to identify patients who do not respond to traditional treatment and who need additional treatment. One proposed test is a stool test (called the stool antigen test). The accuracy of this test has not been well studied.
To see whether the stool antigen test correctly identifies people with persistent H. pylori infection despite treatment.
The researchers studied 84 patients who had had endoscopy (a test in which a tube is used to view the stomach and take samples of it for biopsy). All of the patients had upper abdominal pain and positive biopsy or culture for H. pylori.
Patients were treated with a combination of antibiotics for 7 to 10 days. Stool collections for the stool antigen test were done multiple times after therapy was completed (3, 7, 15, 21, 28, and 35 days later). A second endoscopy with repeated cultures and biopsies was done 35 days after treatment. The researchers then compared the findings of the stool antigen tests with the findings from the repeated endoscopy to see whether the stool antigen test accurately identified people with persistent H. pylori infection.
Seventeen patients had persistent H. pylori infection. Stool antigen tests done immediately after completion of antibiotic treatment (within 3 days) did not accurately identify patients with persistent infection. However, stool antigen tests done 7 or more days after completion of antibiotic treatment did identify patients with persistent infection. Positive stool antigen tests at day 7 or later correctly identified patients with persistent infection about 95% (range, 70% to 100%) of the time. Negative stool antigen tests at day 7 or later correctly identified patients without persistent infection about 90% (range, 80% to 100%) of the time.
Because the study was small, the researchers could not precisely measure the accuracy of the stool antigen test. Thus, the range of probabilities given above was wide.
Stool antigen tests done relatively soon after completion of antibiotic therapy (7 days or later) that have a positive result correctly identify most patients with persistent H. pylori infection.

Rise: Campus Environment
Residence halls and theaters, social places and soccer stands, areas for prayer and contemplation, a gleaming new recreational center imagined as not merely for athletic endeavor but for every aspect of physical challenge — the Campaign will create new spaces for students, faculty, alumni, and friends, and restore to life those which have grown weary in service over many years. The University is a village of laughter and learning, zest and rest, and the RISE Campaign will reinvigorate the halls we call home by raising $50 million to ensure that our students have access to the best facilities.
The walls and halls in which the University's work and life endlessly unfolds, is crucial for a creative and thorough education of mind, heart, and soul.

Missouri Tigers junior guard Jabari Brown has been one of the hottest players in the country lately, putting up 19.8 points per game while shooting 50.2 percent from the floor.
In the national spotlight, Brown made sure to shine.
Against the No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats on Saturday, Brown scored a career-high 33 points. Watch the GIF below as Brown throws down a monster slam dunk over Kentucky's Julius Randle.
Here's another view of the dunk.
The Tigers lost to the Wildcats 84-79 and are now 16-5 with a 4-4 record in the SEC.

I don't have too much to add about why but I also get in that zone of misery. I do well low carb or much higher. The in between doesn't work for me.
I have been on and off Primal lately due to some stress but I think reading this thread and seeing that others have the same experience I need go back to low carb to get fully back into the swing of things. I don't even have to go that low carb. I can handle 75g a day and sometimes a bit more but once I go over 100g it doesn't work.

Experts: Deval Patrick's election defeat would doom memoir
Tuesday, September 28, 2010 -
+ Recent Articles + Recent Blog Entries + Email + Bio
A devastating Nov. 2 defeat could cost Gov. Deval Patrick more than his lofty position and promising political career - it could scuttle the happily-ever-after ending to his million-dollar "inspirational" memoir and turn it into a bookstore bomb, experts said.
"It would be a horrendous event," said Hub book agent and attorney John Taylor "Ike" Williams. "The publisher would have a hard time with that book."
The success of Patrick's 200-page autobiography - titled "A Reason to Believe: Lessons from an Improbable Life" and priced at $21.99 - hinges largely on the governor raising his national profile.
That's a far-fetched feat for an ousted, one-term wonder.
"I assume the senior editors are saying, `You told us this book would ride on the coattails of the Obama book,' " Williams said, noting the similarities between the rags-to-riches tales of Patrick and his pal, President Obama. David Drake, a spokesman for Patrick's publisher Crown Publishing, a division of Random House, declined to comment, other than to say the book is due out in April.
The publisher's initial optimism when the governor landed the deal in March 2008 was clear from Patrick's reported advance of $1.35 million - a staggering sum for a first-time author.
At the going rate, Patrick would earn out his advance - which is usually when royalties begin to kick in - after selling 450,000 hardcovers, a level few but the best-selling superstars reach.
"It's a pretty substantial risk," said Peter Burford, a veteran independent publisher in New Jersey. "Unless he has some other ace up his sleeve . . . I would say good luck to all of them."
Scott Hartwig of Calif.-based Rose Ave Press, which specializes in smaller-name memoirs, said he had misgivings about Patrick's sizable advance. "I question the logic of giving that big of an advance," Hartwig said. "Especially if he's not effective politically." He added that the niche industry relies on the author making headlines, or finding a way to be exceptionally relevant. Otherwise, he said, "It could look kind of silly."
With polls showing Patrick in a virtual dead heat with GOP rival Charlie Baker, Big Apple-based publishing consultant and author Michael Ellsberg suggested Patrick recast the book as a liberal manifesto: "Come read the book that the right wing doesn't want you to read." "The Tea Party is really starting to scare Democrats," Ellsberg added. "If they can paint it that he was the first hit, and he's going to rise up again and keep fighting, that would be a good angle."
For his part, Patrick said the fate of his book isn't on his radar: "I'm not thinking about that right now."
