Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, is calling for an end to "reckless rhetoric" he believes is behind Wednesday's shooting at the conservative group's office in Washington, D.C.
Leo Johnson is recovering after he was shot in the arm in what federal authorities have labeled an act of domestic terrorism.
The Wednesday morning incident began when suspected shooter Floyd Corkins, 28, entered FRC headquarters off G Street, and reportedly made statements opposing the company's policies.
He then shot Johnson, an FRC building operations manager who also serves as a security guard. Johnson was unarmed and not in uniform.
"Floyd Corkins was responsible for firing the shot that wounded our friend," Perkins said Thursday.
"But Corkins was given a license to shoot an unarmed man by groups like the SPLC that have been reckless in labeling organizations 'hate groups' because they disagree with them on public policy," he added.
Hate Group?
In 2010, the Southern Poverty Law Center put the FRC on the same "hate group" list as the Klu Klux Klan and neo-Nazis because of its stance in favor of traditional marriage.
Jerry Boykin, a retired Army general and FRC's new executive vice president, was at the office when the shooting occurred.
"I tell you what, you couldn't blow me out of here with a stick of dynamite now," he told CBN News. "I am so determined that we are going to continue standing for biblical values, family values, freedom, faith."
"I hope that this stimulates other Americans that have the same values to get involved in what's going on in this country," Boykins continued. "We're not going away. We're not going to back down."
Since the incident, Perkins visited Johnson in the hospital. Despite his injury, the unarmed Johnson and others tackled the suspect and wrestle him to the floor.
"When I told him his actions were heroic in protecting his colleagues, he told me that he just reacted in the way he thought anyone at FRC would have responded," Perkins said.
He added that his organization is grateful for the continued prayers and support from around the world.
A Dangerous Atmosphere
Corkins, who was taken into FBI custody, is a volunteer worker at a Washington community center for the homosexual and transgender population of D.C.
"Well, I'm very shocked. It's very surprising," a neighbor said of Corkin's attack.
FRC is known as a conservative Christian lobbying organizations, especially well-known for its support of traditional marriage and stance against abortion.
The suspect was also reportedly carrying a Chick-fil-A bag. Chick-Fil-A's president, Dan Cathy, has been under fire for opposing gay marriage and funding groups like FRC.
Some conservatives say if Wednesday's attack was politically motivated, liberal and pro-gay organizations that keep labeling FRC a "hate group" for opposing gay marriage are partially to blame for the dangerous atmosphere.
We'd like to hear your thoughts on how liberal groups are labeling those who stand for biblical beliefs as 'hate groups.' join the discussion at our CBN News Facebook page.
"This has got to be a wake-up call to everybody in the conservative movement," Media Research Center's Dan Gainor said. "If it turns out early reports are accurate and this individual did this based on politics, it's not that it's new. It's the culmination of years of leftie demonization of conservative groups."
National Organization for Marriage President Brian Brown agreed.
"Such harmful and dangerous labels deserve no place in our civil society," he said, calling on pro-gay organizations "to withdraw such incendiary rhetoric from a debate that involves millions of good Americans."
Many liberals and gay rights activists often refer to those who disagree with them as "haters" or "hate groups."
Stirring the Pot
Just this past Friday, gay Campus Pride leader Shane L. Windmeyer blasted Chick-fil-A for its support of traditional marriage in an Huffington Post editorial.
"Through its family-controlled nonprofit arm, Chick-fil-A profits have funded such groups as Eagle Forum, Exodus International, Family Research Council, and Focus on the Family," he wrote.
"Chick-fil-A profits fund documented hate groups that aggressively work against LGBT people, advocating their criminalization, psychological abuse, or death," he added.
The Southern Poverty Law Center said it labels FRC a hate group because it disseminates false information to defame gays.
But FRC senior fellow Peter Sprigg told CBN news that's not true.
"I don't expect everyone to agree with some of the things that we assert about the homosexual lifestyle," Sprigg said. "But we do present evidence in support of those assertions, and they are certainly not falsehoods or fabrications."

Skip to comments.Students failing algebra rarely recover
Posted on 12/01/2012 2:31:36 PM PST by thecodont
California students who fail algebra and repeat the course are pretty much doomed to fail again, a vicious cycle that wastes limited resources and precious learning time, according to a report released Friday.
Just over a third of students in the 24 school districts studied had to repeat Algebra I either in ninth or 10th grade, yet even after a second year of study, relatively few were proficient in the subject.
Of those who took the class in eighth grade and repeated it as freshmen, just 1 in 5 scored at a proficient level on standardized tests. And of those who repeated as sophomores, 9 percent were proficient.
"These results provide powerful evidence that school systems are struggling to successfully teach, or reteach, mathematics to students who are not already performing well in math by the time they reach middle school," said Neal Finkelstein, the lead researcher on the study, which was commissioned by the Center for the Future of Teaching and Learning at WestEd. ...
All told, half of all students in the study repeated algebra, geometry or Algebra II.
Yet many students retake the same course taught the same way, sometimes by the same teacher, according to the authors.
Researchers found that the majority of students who were proficient in Algebra I at the end of eighth grade followed an accelerated math track of geometry in ninth grade and Algebra II in 10th grade.
And those students made up the vast majority - 75 percent - of all those in their class who would ever become proficient in algebra by high school graduation.
Not a single student who earned below a grade of D in seventh-grade math went on to take calculus in high school, according to researchers.
(Excerpt) Read more at sfgate.com ...
Everyone learns math differently. If the method of teaching failed to teach, trying the same thing again is not really going to work if the student was motivated.
Now that is funny considering all the crappy stuff publik skoolz do and spend money on.
His first lesson was...."First.....forget everything your teacher said".
Let's take a look at the math teachers.
I was awful in algebra. I scored barely well enough to advance to geometry. One day in geometry I had a B.F. Skinner-type "white light" moment. From that moment on I was an A student in math and went on to major in Math at college.
You have to share. I tried looking it up but no success.
Good for you! Most people never have such a moment. How did yours happen for you?
True, so true.
1) Must want to learn it, or wasting time.
2)Instructor must be capable of explainng it in a way to enable understanding by the motivated student.
I still remember my grades in 10th grade second year algebra, 3 D's and C. Well in college I took college algebra and earned a B. Still later four quarters of calculs and differential equations-all A's and
Bs. Linear algebra and matrix algebra-A's. Part of it was me, part of it was probably the book and the teacher.
But mostly I got older, more mature, and my reading skills improved.
Skinner used to say that learning can and should continue throughout life and referred to the joy of intellectual illumination as concepts became clear. And sure enough, that moment where the previous years algebra and all subsequent math learning just made sense was, as I recall, almost orgasmic. I've yearned to repeat that sensation but have fallen short in the following half century.
Let's tell the truth here: Teachers failing to teach algebra rarely recover.
Few public school teachers could pass second or third grade plusses, minuses, timeses, and gazintas; let alone teach eighth or ninth grade algebra or geometry.
I can't say for sure. I suspect I just recognized patterns more effectively in geometry, which is more visual. It (algebra) all beclame clear in an instant. Sorry, that's the best way that I can describe it.
Algebra is largely unimportant in most peoples lives. How to manage finances etc. should be the major emphasis of general higher mathematical education.
In college I survived college algebra, trig, analytic geometry and calculus.
My qualified opinion:
If things aren't right at home there ain't nothing gonna work - some kid's in trouble.
Get things straightened out at home and a talented person who GAF can make a world of difference for a young person.
I can recall a particular conversation I had with a gentleman who taught math at a certain university near my home that I credit with making the difference for me. It took him about 30 minutes to convince me that I could learn math.
I don't even recall the guy's name any more but he made a difference in my situation simply because he GAF.
Sometimes called an Epiphany. I've had that feeling several time while in flight training. All of a sudden something made sense. I did finally find about it by searching just his name.
>> Just over a third of students in the 24 school districts studied had to repeat Algebra I either in ninth or 10th grade,
That's pathetic. No doubt a consequence of the elementary curriculum.
Maybe they reached the limit of their ability to handle the subject matter and should be tracked into practical application of basic math to prepare them for the future to the best of their ability?
Nah. That's discriminatory. Got to clog up the college preparatory track with students who cannot grasp the subject matter, in the interest of "fairness."
Seriously ?
Here is the deal with this. If these kids actually did their homework they would pass it just fine. Now by homework I don't mean just the assigned problems at the end of the chapter. You do ALL OF THEM.
Most math textbooks have the answers in the back to either the odd or even problems. The instructor book has the answers to all the even numbered problems worked out. So when quiz/test time comes...where does the instructor go to get the problems for that exam? Could it be the instuctor's book? The exam is the even problems or some set of problems similar?
This was my experience in every mathematics class I took in high school through partial differential equations and numerical analysis in college.
You don't do the assigned....you do them all, and you will get an easy "A" because you have seen the problem before. Problem #7 on the exam was # 22 on page whatever from the relevant chapter.
My cousin is a 9th grade math teacher...having been an engineer most of his life, he transitioned to being a public school teacher two years ago.
The stories he tells about the utter lack of mathematical ability on the part of at least 70% of his kids is just mind boggling. And through it all, the idea that any kid would have to damage him or herself so viciously by having to, say, memorize a multiplication table is just appalling. The assumption is made that a calculator will always be present, and they are supplied...but he has kids who cannot translate the symbols on paper into button pushes. He has kids who have no idea how to use a ruler to measure the width of a piece of paper. And give them a word problem and they are absolutely lost.
In my conversations with him he describes kids who have no inherent interest nor curiosity in being able to see if they can solve a problem. Their approach is simply to do the minimum work required to achieve a passing grade. But they have zero interest in doing any better than a "C". It's almost like his kids are in a union....where doing better is tacitly (but de facto) discouraged because it would make the others look bad. He has an emphasis on checking your work...not just to see if the process and answer are valid, but to see if the result is reasonable. IOW, if it takes 4 hours to drive from X to Y, the answer to a "mph" question ought not be 3,000 mph if the the two towns in the problem are nearby towns that everyone has heard of. And they never, ever check their work...they get an answer and that's the end of it. They don't really seem to care whether they are right or wrong. They don't care whether or not they understood the question or were able to formulate the solution process.
I'd go stark raving mad under the conditions he describes.
If the student was motivated.
That's the key. I'm not here to defend the public schools, but, once upon a time, it was the responsibility of the child to get an education.
Algebra is challenging -- but not that tough if the prerequisites have been learned. A majority of the students in this school system probably passed Algebra. I don't lose sleep and I hate to lose more tax dollars fretting over the others.
Our entire country, including the education system, is being geared toward the failures. I mean, just look at the last election results.
At least 3/4 of the failures occur because for one reason or another, the student does not try and does not care.
The reasons for that are many and varied. But it's not that hard to learn if you want to learn it.
Since you asked, IMO it's a lethal combination causing such self destructive behavior; 1) lack of parenting and 2) culture of shunning responsibility.
Kids do not think there is any consequence for failing to give effort.
as a homwschooler, i made the decision that my son should repeat Algebra 1 (so he covered it in 8th and 9th grade)... he didn't fail it the first year, but he didn't ace it either... i know that math is "developmental..." he understood it at a greater level the second time... i was much more comfortable moving him on after his second time completing it... now he actually has been able to tutor college students in Algebra...
Let's go check out Facefarque instead..........maybe have a couple joints while we are at it.
I took the required Algebra courses in high school and made As. In college I took the course on sets and math theory that was referred to as "Math for Poets."
After 50 successful years in business and education I can truthfully say I was never once confronted with a problem that needed algebra.
We don't require folks who are interested in physics, math or engineering to learn how to do legal briefs. I've never understood why requiring algebra is somehow a 'given' in the education system.
I don't even recall the guy's name any more but he made a difference in my situation simply because he GAF.
God bless this man.
But fools multiply rapidly.
It is unrealistic to expect all students to take and pass advanced math. That's life and we spend a lot of time and money in a failed effort to prove the lie.
It's also a lie that all teachers are able and prepared to teach advanced acadmeic level courses. A lot of teachers are unable to accomplish the advanced math understanding and knowledge they are expected to teach. It's over their heads.
Algebra is racist (and islamist to boot!).
I thought Algebra was invented by the Egyptians before they became Islamic.
Boolean Logic seems fairly Algebraic to me.
One thing I think should be taught, as early as grade school, is what taxes are and what they're used for.
A child should know her local sales tax rate and know how to calculate it and apply it to a purchase. She should also know about local postal rates and how much it costs to send a package somewhere.
A parent could set up a child with a simple savings account and teach them about interest rates and how they cause savings to grow (yeah, I know interest rates on savings are almost nonexistent these days, far behind the rate of inflation).
While we're at it: teach them about inflation, and the present value of money.
I think these things would be a good start.
Or: building a playhouse. Even if the kids are using scrap cardboard, take a ruler or tape measure and help them figure out dimensions and square footage.
If you don't work the problems and don't go to class chances are you will fail. If you didn't learn your arithmetic tables in the first and second grade it is GUARANTEED you will fail. This is not a new story. we have dumbed down arithmetic and math courses over the years. It is a disgusting and pointless exercise at this point
It makes a good NASA outreach story. The name is Arabic.
I failed Algebra in 1964 and I'm still not over it.
Note, it was a class taught by the second string
foot ball coach, they used us as an experiment.
The best indicator I've found between an employment applicant capable of learning high-level skills while on the job is a simple test equivalent to those given years ago to pass 8th grade math.
Math requires a combination of natural aptitude and sufficient self-discipline to complete exercises commonly assigned as homework. This doesn't attract those who prefer spending their middle school years developing their personalities through non-academic pursuits, like cliquish behavior, gossip and scheming.
I recommend math tests given upfront as a screening device.
If a candidate hasn't focused themselves enough to take on the challenge of mastering an individual practice which gives little gratification (like math) at a young age, then it's a good bet that even on the job they will become the equivalent of a "taker" (by attempting to manipulate other employees into doing their work and playing office politics, for example).
Not even close. The California class rooms use so damned many different techniques it is more astonishing that everyone doesn't get it. The children failing algebra 1 in California tend to not go to class, not do the home work, and have NO ability to do simple arithmetic (you remember those tables you learned in first and second grade). Nice try though
I used to "tax" my kids Halloween hauls. It made them realize that it's basically theft.
Algebra is actually very simple...and it is usually terribly taught. I hated it until I took a college class for teaching math in the primary grades from a woman who was herself a truly gifted teacher. She showed us that algebra (and geometry) were just more ways of saying and doing the same basic mathematical operations and simply expanded on them or adapted them to different situations - 3 dimensional space, for example, or even logic operations. And we did this using the Montessori bean sticks...(plus she really loved her subject, which most math teachers do not).
So there are some subjects in which the fault really may lie not so much with the student or the individual teacher as with the method of teaching the subject.
That'll learn 'em!
Maybe algebra should be outlawed by executive order? It is so clearly divisive. Or perhaps, in the interest of the prevailing idea of fairness in America, the grades of those people who are unfairly learning it and scoring higher should be taxed of points to use in bringing up the grades of those most in need?
LOL. That word is also one of the basic constructs of Electrical Engineering, along with gozoutas.
Same for maps or navigating in cities and such. I can see the map overlay of the area as I travel down streets in my head even if I've never looked at an actual physical map of the area.
But algebra is still a mystery to me and I've tried several times over the years with computer programs and tutors. Apparently its just not something I am going to get.
Algebra is not "advanced math."

Right in my neighborhood at Wiley Canyon and Tournament Road - where I often ride my motorcycle.
But will there be any follow-up story in The Signal regarding the car driver's possible responsibility for this tragedy? Any punishment if it were her fault?
If past experience is any indication, the answers are "no."
She'll just say "I didn't see him" - even though, by law, his headlight was on. That's what the drivers always say.
The motorcyclist was probably speeding. If so, he was partially at fault. But that does not excuse her.
If culpable drivers were punished, perhaps fewer bikers would be killed.

CBNNews.com - GAZA STRIP - Miriam Farhat, affectionately known as the "Mother of Martyrs," was transferred from the Gaza Strip to an Egyptian hospital Thursday after suffering a massive heart attack.
Hamas terror chief Ismail Haniyeh pressured the Egyptian government to open the Rafah crossing at the border with Sinai to allow Farhat to be transferred to hospital in Egypt.
Initially Egypt refused, but later agreed to open the border crossing.
Farhat was catapulted to fame in 2002 in a video in which she prodded her son, Muhammad, to attack a Jewish community in the Gush Katif Settlement Bloc in the Gaza Strip.
"When I see all the Jews in Palestine killed, that will be enough for me," Farhat said on camera.
"I wish he will kill as many [Jews] as he can so they will be scared," she said.
That March, her 19-year-old son fulfilled his mother's wish by killing five Israeli teenagers and wounding 23 others in Atzmona, one of the 21 Jewish communities evacuated by the Sharon government in August 2005.
In 2003, Farhat's eldest son, Nidal, died while preparing for a terror attack, and his brother, Rawad, was killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted his car.
With the death of a third son, Farhat became a symbol of the "resistance," and she was honored with the title, "Mother of Martyrs."
In January 2006, she was elected to the Palestinian legislature as a Hamas representative.

As parents we have so much on our minds: is my child eating right? Is he getting enough exercise? And let's not even touch the increasing demands of schoolwork as they ascend in grade. Well parents, add a new worry the list: Could your parenting style cause your children to become obese?
A recent study in Canada found that children with parents who set rigid household rules, hold back affection and fail to discuss behavioral limits are far more likely to be obese than children whose parents practice a more balanced parenting style. The scientists found that obesity rates were about one-third higher in children up to age 11 with parents who were inflexible regarding rules and showed a lack of emotional responsiveness. In the group of more than 37,000 children studied, these kids were significantly heavier compared to those with more affectionate parents who are willing to discuss behavior limits and set healthy boundaries.
While this was only one study looking at a specific point in time, and more research is needed to determine the long-term impact on children's weight, the study still held enough clout to be presented at an American Heart Association meeting in San Francisco this week detailing the link between parenting style and obesity rates. Childhood obesity is on everyone's radar. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention maintains that obesity is something that should not be taken lightly as rates in the U.S. have more than doubled in children and have quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years.
Yes we all have "those" days as parents: whether it's homework drama; a bad day at work that makes stopping at the nearest fast food restaurant for dinner appealing; or just being too tired to give your child the emotional connection they need and deserve at the end of a long day. And while we normally know right from wrong in such instances and only sometimes falter to the "dark side," that's fine. There are no perfect parents. Just remember that how you parent can have a big impact; set behavior restrictions, instill healthy boundaries and be sure your children know they have your unconditional love no matter what. By doing so you may be setting them up for a lifetime of healthy habits and, more importantly, healthy weight.

The Jersey City construction firm behind the HGTV reality show "Kitchen Cousins" has been tapped by a city agency to transform the police headquarters on Erie Street into 16 rental units.
Brunelleschi Construction, located on Central Avenue, plans to purchase the aging facility for $2 million, and Jersey City Redevelopment Agency Executive Director Bob Antonicello told The Jersey Journal that the firm's rehab of the building might be featured on the HGTV show.
"We're really excited," Antonicello said, adding, "The fact that this will be home to 16 families is a good thing."
The cousins behind the reality show are Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri, both city residents. The show follows the pair as they rehab kitchens across the Garden State.
Brunelleschi did not return a request for comment.
Police brass on Thursday started relocating from the Erie Street headquarters, which is over 100 years old and sits near the corner of Erie Street and Newark Avenue, to One Journal Square Plaza.
Antonicello said he hopes Brunelleschi, which won two rounds of bidding for 8 Erie St., can close the deal by August.
Meanwhile, the parking lot behind the old police headquarters was scooped up by developer Arthur Pronti for $2 million, according to Antonicello. Pronti is building approximately 30 condos on the site.
Together the properties total 25,000 square feet. The city hopes the developments will bring in more than $300,000 annually in property taxes.

HOUSTON — Corey Hart drove in the go-ahead run with a single in the 10th inning, and Rickie Weeks' third hit added an insurance run for Milwaukee.
Nyjer Morgan walked to start the 10th and Fernando Rodriguez (1-8) intentionally walked Ryan Braun before a wild pitch moved the pair over.
Rodriguez walked Aramis Ramirez to load the bases and Hart's full-count grounder put Milwaukee on top. Weeks, who homered in the second, then singled in Braun.
Manny Parra (1-3) pitched a perfect ninth for the win and John Axford allowed two hits in a scoreless 10th for his 15th save.
Pirates 13, Giants 2: In Pittsburgh, Andrew McCutchen hit two home runs, Neil Walker had five hits and the Pittsburgh Pirates routed the San Francisco Giants.
The NL Central-leading Pirates have won six of seven and 10 of 12. They are 34-19 since May 12 for the best record in the majors over that stretch.
Braves 4, Phillies 3: In Philadelphia, Brian McCann homered for the fourth consecutive game and Dan Uggla hit a two-run shot to lead the Braves to the three-game series sweep.
McCann hit a grand slam on Friday and a solo shot on Saturday. He then hit the go-ahead homer in the seventh inning against Raul Valdes (2-2) in the series finale.
Cubs 7, Mets 0: In New York, Ryan Dempster extended his scoreless streak to 27 innings in his first start in three weeks, and Starlin Castro hit a three-run homer for the Cubs.
Dempster (4-3) was activated from the disabled list, then pitched five innings of four-hit ball. It was his first outing since June 15, when he experienced tightness in a back muscle. His lengthy string of zeros is th
Cardinals 5, Marlins 4: In St. Louis, Rafael Furcal hit a two-run single off Heath Bell with two out in the ninth inning, capping a three-run rally and lifting the Cardinals to the victory.
Pinch-hitter Austin Kearns put the Marlins up 4-2 with a three-run homer in the seventh.
Rockies 4, Nationals 3: In Washington, Jordan Pacheco doubled and scored the tiebreaking run on a ninth-inning wild pitch by Tyler Clippard, giving the Rockies a comeback victory.
The NL East-leading Nationals took a 3-1 lead into the eighth, but a meltdown by their usually reliable bullpen cost them a chance to hit the All-Star break with their best record since the team moved to Washington in 2005.
Diamondbacks 7, Dodgers 1: In Phoenix, Trevor Bauer scattered two hits over six scoreless innings, leading Arizona to the victory.
Paul Goldschmidt homered, doubled and drove in a career-high four runs for the Diamondbacks, who won the final three games of the four-game set to move within four games of the NL West-leading Dodgers.
Reds 4, Padres 2: In San Diego, All-Star Jay Bruce and Ryan Ludwick hit consecutive home runs, leading the Reds to the victory.
Bruce and Ludwick connected two pitches apart in the fourth inning to give Cincinnati a 3-0 lead.

Jackson City Council candidate Laura Dwyer Schlecte wants Ward 4 voters to know that even though she and her husband own homes in Jackson and Ann Arbor, she lives in Jackson.
"Ninety nine percent of the time I'm here," Dwyer Schlecte said. "They can drive past my home and see if my car is in the parking lot."
Dwyer Schlecte and George Brown won Tuesday's primary election, ending Councilman Kenneth Gaiser's re-election bid.
In the comments on an article on mlive.com, a link was posted to a flyer for an Ella Sharp Museum fundraiser that gave Laura and her husband Bill's address as 116 N. Fourth Ave., Ann Arbor. A commenter also said that is where the Schlecte's claim their homestead exemption.
Dwyer Schlecte said her primary residence is at 759 W. Michigan Ave., which is next to her real estate office, Prudential Premier Properties, 761 W. Michigan Ave. She said her husband's primary residence is in Ann Arbor, where his law office is located.
Dwyer Schlecte said she and her husband own both homes together, but married couples can claim just one homestead exemption, and they decided to take theirs at their Ann Arbor home.
City Attorney Julius Giglio said council members must be a registered elector in the city and live in the ward they want to represent for at least one year before the election.
Jackson County Clerk Amanda Riska said Dwyer Schlecte has been registered to vote from 759 W. Michigan Ave. since 2003.

A federal court in Kansas has dismissed a lawsuit by an atheist soldier who claimed his rights were violated because he had to attend events where prayers were said.
Judge Kathryn Vratil ruled on Thursday that Army Spc. Dustin Chalker failed to exhaust other alternatives before he and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation filed his lawsuit against the Department of Defense in 2008.
Mikey Weinstein, the foundation's president, said Chalker's case shows a pattern of religious intolerance and proselytizing by members of the armed forces.
Chalker evidently sued without taking his complaint up the chain of command.
He plans to appeal the ruling to the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.

Stanwood in the fall
by Susan London
Special to the Weekly
A few weeks ago, I spent a sunny afternoon in Stanwood.
My friend Hazel Booth, a Duvall resident, had a hankering to cruise the old hometown and I had promised her last spring we'd drive up there together.
Stanwood is so small it hardly qualifies as a town, but I like poking my curious nose into quaint, old places and the idea that Hazel could act as tour guide was irresistible ‹ almost as irresistible as Hazel is herself.
First, I should tell you that Hazel is not your idea of an average girlfriend. She's diminutive, probably doesn't come up to my shoulders and I'm not tall.
She has pretty blue eyes, curly light hair that frames her face like a halo and a smile that would light all of Montana ‹ or Washington. She has the cutest little giggle and is surprisingly spry and lively for her 94 years.
She's been a widow for 35 years and has no children, but that hasn't stopped her from pitching in to help other families. Hazel was a nanny for her niece for two years when her niece divorced. She chauffeured an elderly neighbor in Monroe for ten years and always helped without pay whenever her family needed her. She is quite a remarkable woman.
We drove up to the town, which looked as if everyone was either gone for the day or sleeping.
She excitedly pointed out what used to be the Pearson General Store. It is still standing after 100 years. The commercial buildings seemed neat and well-kept, some with historical signs in front. She pointed out the road up the hill which was paved with red brick. Another road had been paved over, but we agreed it was probably smoother that way.
She began with the story of her uncle, Andrew Tackstrom. He had come to Washington in about 1893 with his family to open a harness and shoe repair shop. After several years, his wife and two teenage daughters suddenly came down with diphtheria and died. Left with just his son, he asked his brother, August, to come out from Nebraska to help him.
So Hazel's family moved to Stanwood. She said shortly after she was born in Stanwood, her mother's father came in from working and stretched out on the couch.
"Let me see the baby," he asked his daughter. She brought the baby to him and, satisfied, he turned over for a nap only to die in his sleep from heart failure.
We drove by the spot where her house used to be and a brand new house stood toward the back. But the yard was still bordered by large maple trees planted by Hazel's brother.
She told how the family got behind in their mortgage payments during the Depression and the skinflint owner turned them out of their home. Still, she said, if they hadn't gone into debt, it wouldn't have happened. Her grandparent's small log cabin is still nearby.
Up a little hill was a house where the school used to be. She remembered hearing the school bell ring when she would arrive at the bottom of the hill, so she would run all the way up.
"Why don't you ask your mother to wake you earlier?" the teacher, Christine Hemmingson would ask. "But I'm so tired," Hazel would reply.
She didn't seem nearly as tired as I was, this day of nosing around. As we drove through the town, Hazel named each family's house, told us who their children were, how they came to Stanwood and what happened to them. We wound up at the cemetery so she could visit the final resting place of her family, friends and former neighbors.
"Gosh," she smiled," this is almost like coming home - except a cemetery is not my home."
We all laughed. She pointed out her uncle's grave, his family, her folks. When she got too tired to walk much more, my husband and I walked along the headstones calling out names and she'd tell us about the people.
One grave was that of a young man named Chris Berg from Norway who had come to work in the saw mill owned by Hazel's Uncle John, her mother's brother. One day a board caught in a saw and hit Chris in the head, killing him.
Her uncle paid for the funeral, the first one she attended in the small, white wood-frame church which is still in use today. For many years, she confided, every Memorial Day she would put flowers on his grave, knowing he had no family here to remember him. The depth and devotion of her heart is touching.
After leaving Stanwood and traveling through Granite Falls, I mentioned I lived in Granite Falls when I was in elementary school.
"Oh," she said and then pointing to a large brick building asked, "Was that building here when you lived here?" Frantically, I cast about in my mind trying to remember anything about Granite Falls other than the school and our home. Nope, utter darkness.
"Sorry, Hazel," I said sheepishly, mentally kicking my 49-year-old brain. "I don't remember."
"Oh well," she said, "you were just a child. You can't be expected to remember."
I don't think I'll forget Hazel and how she made a sleepy old town come to life on a sunny, Sunday fall afternoon.

Circuit Judge Daniel Perry stressed that this sentence is not to be used as publicity for the fallen Idol. "I don't want this to be some steppingstone for her to have a career as a recovering addict," he said. He has forbidden her from appearing on TV or doing any interviews.
Sierra is featured on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew, a reality show hosted by Dr. Drew Pinsky. Pinsky spoke on her behalf during the proceedings and told Judge Perry that while the treatment she received while on the show was not adequate considering her level of addiction, he feels that she'll have a better chance for recovery if she participates in a year-long treatment program. The show taped in July and premieres on January 10 on VH1.
This is Sierra's second run-in with the law. In April 2007, she allegedly hit a bar patron in the head with a glass and pleaded no contest in that incident. Sierra is pregnant with her first child by a man she will only identify as a "rapper." TMZ.com reports that a sex tape of Sierra will be released sometime during the beginning of the new Idol season.
Sierra was the tenth place finisher on American Idol 4 and toured with the group during the summer of 2005. Her mother, a drug-addict and prostitute, abandoned her, and died of a drug overdose while Sierra was auditioning for Idol. Unlike Kellie Pickler, whose hard-luck story was a big factor in her season, the Idol producers chose to downplay Sierra's background.
So, what happened to this promising young talent? There's really no way of knowing, but perhaps she got too much, too soon, and the letdown at the end of the tour was too much for her to deal with. Touring with the Idols and performing before thousands of people can be a heady experience, but when it's over and no record deals are forthcoming, a person with a propensity for drug and alcohol abuse can certainly get into trouble.

Project Brief
High Yield Manufacture of Fullerenes and Carbon Nanotubes
Develop a novel manufacturing process for nanostructured carbon materials such as fullerenes and single-walled carbon nanotubes to dramatically increase yields and reduce costs, enabling wider application of these unique materials.
Sponsor: Nano-C, Inc.33 South West Park
Westwood, MA 02090
Nanostructured carbon materials, including fullerenes and single-walled carbon nanotubes, are expected to represent a significant part of the projected worldwide nanotechnology market. These new materials have been proposed for a wide range of high-impact applications from alternative energy sources that reduce the need for fossil fuels to new and improved medical therapies to environmentally sound materials that have extended lifetimes-all based on their unique properties. However, unless production costs can be reduced significantly these new materials may find only niche applications. Nano-C today produces nanostructured carbon materials using its first generation combustion technology that provides only limited control of mixing at sub-atmospheric pressures and imprecise control of time-temperature profiles. The company has proposed developing a new manufacturing technology for fullerenes and carbon nanotubes that overcomes these barriers with the potential to reduce their price by 10- to 50-fold. Key to the technology will be the development of a process reactor-an Offset Opposed Jet-Stirred Reactor (OOJSR)-that can provide intensive mixing at sub-atmospheric conditions, coupled with a Plug Flow Reactor (PFR), which will create optimal growth conditions through precise control of residence time and temperature. This first-of-its-kind production system will allow for selective manufacture of fullerenes and nanotubes and increase their yield by 10-fold. When combined with Nano-C's advanced separation and purification technology, these materials will have the potential to be priced significantly below current levels leading to a dramatic increase in economically viable applications.

Have you ever wondered what Street Fighter II would have been like if it were an RPG? Well, wonder no more! One Must Fall: 2097 is here!... and has been for nearly two decades. But still, it's worth a mention now, because few games have done what it has, and done it successfully.
This was another one of Epic's gems back in the day (although not developed by Epic itself), and one of my favorite fighting games ever made. Like Street Fighter II, it was a follow-up to an earlier, crappier game (simply titled "One Must Fall," with two human protagonists that apparently looked like Ken and Ryu), and it improved on its predecessor's formula immensely. Instead of humans, though, you controlled robots in a futuristic reality where people could "become" the robots through some weird technology they explain in the manual. But no matter - what matters is that you get to beat the crap out of someone.
There are two main modes in OMF: 2097, the first of which is your standard arcade-style fighting mode. In it you can pick from ten different characters, each with their own balance of stats, and from ten different robots, which have unique fighting styles and a few special moves apiece. By today's standards the arcade mode is nothing remarkable, but in the early 90's it got the job done. I thought the little exchanges between fighters before each round was a nice touch, though; depending on who's fighting who you'll get a slightly different message each time.
The tournament mode, though, is what makes this game stand out. The fighting style is the same as in arcade mode, but you start out extraordinarily weak with one of the less powerful robot models. In order to get stronger you must win matches by fighting in one of several different tournaments, using your prize money to train your personal stats, buy upgrade kits for your robot, or by purchasing a new robot altogether. Save up enough money, and you can buy the eleventh variety of robot that isn't available in arcade mode - just make sure not to lose too much money on after-match repairs.
One Must Fall: 2097 is free these days, so go ahead and grab it! If you're a hardcore fighting fan, you may not care much for it, but if you're an RPG fan who has a remote interest in fighting games, the upgrade system in tournament mode may suck you in for awhile - it certainly did for me.

Citi ThankYou Rewards 20% Bonus Points Promotion
|Email Print
I logged into my Citi account today and discovered that they were offering a new opt-in promotion where you can earn a 20% bonus on ThankYou Points that you earn using your card for the next six months. I did some research and learned on this Fatwallet Finance forum thread that this might be a targeted offer, so if you log in and don't see it, you're not going crazy. It's a nice little offer that will juice up my Citi mtvU card's already healthy 5% at restaurants and Amazon.com to an even healthier 6%. If you have a 1% cashback card, it only gets you an additional 0.2% but there are no strings attached so you might as well take the extra cash back.
To find out if you were extended this offer, log into your account and look at the left hand side. You should see something like this:
If you don't see the offer (outlined in red), then unfortunately you aren't eligible.
Click on the offer and you'll be asked to accept the offer:

People can become eligible for Medicare at any age, but if you are not currently on Medicare and are considering retiring as you approach eligibility age, there's much to consider-especially if you are married. Are you close to 65 years old and thinking of retiring? Is your spouse younger than you? If yes, is your spouse planning to work longer or retire early?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it's time for the two of you to sit down, take a look at your health insurance and Medicare options, and make some decisions.
Medicare benefits are only for individuals. There are no options for adding dependents. So, while you might soon be eligible for Medicare, your spouse must wait until he or she reaches 65 and becomes eligible. (This assumes that your spouse does not have a medical condition or permanent disability that makes him or her eligible for Medicare before age 65.)
Three months before you reach age 65, you can begin the enrollment process for Medicare. During this initial enrollment period, you have a few choices:
Before you make one of these choices, you may want to consider another option altogether, such as the possibility of your spouse adding you as a dependent on his or her job-related health care plan.
If your spouse is still working, you are entitled to be covered on the same group health care plan options offered to all employees at your spouse's place of work, even if you are 65 or older. Ask the employee benefits department for details about your spouse's group health care plan and options for dependent coverage. Here are some additional considerations:
If your spouse is covered as a dependent on your employer's health care plan, he or she will lose that coverage when you retire. Again, timing is important, and you'll want to find out when your spouse can get health insurance from his or her own employer or have eligibility for Medicare.
What happens if your spouse decides to retire early?
If you retire at 65 and your spouse retires early to join you, you still have the option of enrolling in Medicare. Your spouse, however, will be faced with being uninsured.
Depending on how long it will be before your spouse turns 65, health care plan options might include a continuation of current benefits through a former employer (also known as COBRA) or purchasing an individual health insurance policy. Your household budget may feel a real pinch, as both of these options may require higher monthly insurance premium payments.
As mentioned, there are many considerations and important decisions to make. Each person's circumstances are unique. Before you and your spouse retire, you will want to learn more details about the pros and cons of a particular plan of action, so you can decide what best meets your needs.
Help with making decisions is available through your State Health Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program (SHIP). This program provides free, personalized Medicare counseling, delivered by objective, volunteer counselors. You can also call Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users, call 1-877-486-2048. Lines are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Note: If you are a member with Medicaid or other state-sponsored programs, search with the alpha prefix (first three letters) of your identification number or search by selecting a plan/network.
If it's not an emergency (and you can't get to your regular doctor) - there are other options for fast, more affordable care.

Watch 1980s video clip of WWUH in the News!
When the University of Hartford was incorporated just over 50 years ago by business and community leaders, they envisioned a center of education and culture for Greater Hartford. At its core, it would be a university for the community created by the community.
The University has come a long way since its humble beginnings on Hartford's last remaining farm, evolving from a local school for commuters into a comprehensive university that attracts students from throughout the world. Yet it remains true to its original mission of serving as a valued resource for individuals, families, businesses, and communities throughout the Hartford region, offering hundreds of programs that serve the University and its neighbors every day. For over 45 years listener supported WWUH has served an important role in the University's community service mission.

Bridget's back – and better than ever?
It's been 14 years since readers last heard from frumpy, lovelorn, calorie-counting Bridget Jones, memorably played on film by Renée Zellweger.
Now author Helen Fielding is readying a brand-new Jones novel, but don't expect her lovable protagonist to be exactly the same this time around.
According to a press release about the book obtained by the New York Times, the book will take place in present day London and "represents a totally new phase in Bridget's life."
Considered by some to be a possible Fielding alter-ego, the author explains: "My life has moved on and Bridget's will move on, too."
The new, currently untitled book will be released by Alfred A. Knopf in November, and it's the follow up to 1996's Bridget Jones's Diary and 1999's Bridget Jones: the Edge of Reason.
What do you think Bridget has been up to in the years that passed? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
Bridget Jones Is Back: Helen Fielding to Release New Novel in November

Fish Say: Flush This!
Show of hands: How many of you know someone who has bought a fish as a "low-maintenance pet" for the kids, stuck the fish in a bowl, and then forgotten all about him or her? Extra credit if the people in question have clandestinely replaced the (dead) fish several times so as to avoid "traumatizing" the youngsters. Well, this is "Be Kind to Animals" Week, so let's take this opportunity to stop the madness!
|© Robert Thompson/The Oldie/http://www.theoldie.co.uk/
Fish are not decorations or toys. They have cognitive skills that rival those of primates, use tools, maintain complex social relationships, and communicate with each other using low-frequency sounds that humans can't even hear. Confining fish to a cramped tank or bowl, forcing them to swim in endless circles through the same few cubic inches of (often filthy) water, is just as cruel as chaining or crating a dog 24 hours a day.
If you or your friends or family have fish, you can strive to make them as comfortable as possible. The first order of business is to replace the glass bowl with an aquarium that is large enough to provide at least 3 gallons of water per inch of fish. It should be equipped with a pump, a filter, live plants, and objects for the fish to explore and hide in. The water needs to be treated for chlorine, kept between 68°F and 76°F, and have the appropriate pH level for the types of fish.
Share this information with any goldfish wardens―I mean, "guardians"―you know. And tell anyone contemplating imprisoning a fish that a far more humane way of entertaining the kids is to let them watch a live online stream, like the one from a camera in the Grand River in Ontario, Canada.
Written by Michelle Sherrow
Commenting is closed.
Fish bowl is ONLY for Betta fish which can take air directly. Keeping fish especially goldfish in a bowl is just like putting someone in a room without any window for ventilation.
As an aquarist of many years I think the first thing is reading up on the keeping and biology of fish.Boring you say,well it beats being cruel. Tip-Do not overfeed it is the quickest way to pollute the aquarium.
I saw this girl in a sideshow eat a goldfish. She must do it alot cause there is pictures all over the internet. Discusting! http://www.theferalscribe.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Worms.jpg http://www.oldecitysideshow.com
I have 3 fish! Phobio,Nemo and Goomba and i love them 🙂 i am getting them a tank so that they can not feel so cramped up, although the Bowl is big enough,but who want to just sit in a little bowl all day w/ so little room?? Think of the fishies people!
I got my goldfish as a school physics project but couldnt stand watching him being cramped up and not being able to swim like in the ocean, so my mom got a 70gallon fish tank with 8 new fish so mine could have friends:)
I hate seeing fish in little bowls! Everytime I get fish, I love getting big tanks so they have a lot of room to swin around in. (:
Fish can be well cared for but they still don't want to be in bowls or tanks for our entertainment. Please if you must have fish, at least think of adopting or rescuing them from someone/a shelter. When they are taken from the wild, the most common method of collection is to use dynamite. This, apart from utterly destroying the home of the fish, stuns them so that they float to the surface. Overall, about 90% of the fish never recover. It is the remaining 10% that you see in pet stores! Those who are bred in captivity, will never know freedom, and must often endure crowded breeding tanks. Fish are not "things". They feel pain, love life, desire freedom – these are things that matter to ALL. Please think before you buy!
I have a fish tank of Mollies. But I clean the tank weekly and all my fishes have names. Tyson ( the fin biter sigh) , Damian , William , and Fred. I don't have live plants but I wash my fake plants in vinegar every other time we do the tank. My kids love our fish. In fact I have to give turns of helping take care of them or we clean the tank every day and feed them three times. I hope this will make people think. Thanks!

Product DescriptionThe Kimber Model 84M is the first ultra-lightweight production rifle that combines classic design, hand finishing, and the advantages of a Mauser claw extractor for true controlled round feeding and extraction. The A-grade walnut stock has a hand-rubbed oil finish that enhances the natural beauty of the wood, with both pillar and glass bedding adding strength and ensuring accuracy. The action is designed to minimal dimensions for the cartridge, reducing weight and shortening bolt travel. The match-grade barrel and chamber deliver unequaled Kimber accuracy, while hand-cut checkering in classic 20 lines-per-inch pattern rivals that of a custom rifle. This rifle features an adjustable trigger, a 3-position safety, and a Leupold-style scope-mounting bases with 30mm rings. Its stock, metal, and bore are all in very good condition.

and horoscope says.....
If you feel tired, Virgo, you may need to close your eyes and listen to soothing music. You work hard most of the time, so do your body and mind some good and just relax and listen to your favorite music. Even a few minutes will make a difference. You can always use the quiet time to plan if you feel you need to accomplish something.
i must agree lol me time is in my near future even if it means taking care of errands lmao what's yours? im virgo
what's your horoscope say about youtoday
Quoting sumannie:
im a leo
oh i will hold on a second hun
Quoting sumannie:
idk i thought you were going to tell me lol. sorry :)
This is an excellent day to express your natural creativity, Leo. The arts will more than likely be very important to you. You may find that nothing brings you more pleasure on days like this. Consider putting this to good use by painting, sculpting, or doing crafts. You'll find the perfect thing for you is engaging in art activities with a focus on giving.
Quoting sumannie:
im a leo
Get into doing things today, Capricorn. Activities that require focus or creativity are supported. Your physical strength and energy will compel you to do something active. If you've been feeling tired or under the weather, this can put an end to it. Consider artistic projects that take strength, such as building something out of wood or carving. Make something special for someone.
Quoting PurpleHazey:
You may feel a need to get moving today, Gemini. Almost everyone at times prefers quiet activities, books, art, and even just sitting around to physical activity. But your health can suffer if you're too inactive. Fresh air, exercise, and sunshine are vital to your well-being. Don't resist the urge to get up and do something active. Chances are good that you'll really enjoy it.

Bratislava is a badger sett of cobbled streets, low arches and tiny squares. It's small enough to explore in a day, but big enough to hold your interest for a long weekend. In Central Slovakia is lovely Banská Štiavnica, a UNESCO-protected medieval mining town in a lunar landscape of dead volcanoes. East and north are the High Tatras, as decent a mountain range as any in Central Europe. They've long been the site of enthusiastic skiing, hiking and sonnet- writing. Heading east towards Ukraine is the wild, rocky Spiš region, home to medieval mammoth Spiš Castle and the twelfth-century walled town of Levoča. Continuing south, almost to the Hungarian border, you'll find Slovakia's second city, the lively town of Košice.

Swiss BI solution provider adds record-breaking database for high performance big data analytics to product and services portfolio
Frick, Switzerland and Langen, Germany, 29 May 2013 – Actian Corporation ("Actian"), a next-generation leader in big data management, today announced that the company has signed a reseller agreement with COME Computer Systeme GmbH, a BI solution provider in Switzerland.
Under the terms of the reseller agreement, COME Computer Systeme GmbH will offer Actian Vectorwise, the fast database for high performance big data analytics, to organisations throughout the Swiss Federation as well as the U.K. via its sister firm, Emergent Innovation Ltd. Consequently, the agreement gives Actian access to a new community of businesses that are seeking to get more value from their data volumes, easily and affordably.
COME Computer Systeme GmbH cites the high performance of Vectorwise and the attractive cost model as key reasons for choosing to offer the analytic database to its client base in Switzerland and the U.K. Following an extensive demonstration of Vectorwise, the firm was convinced of the solution's performance advantages and chose to add it to its big data analytics product and services portfolio.
"Our clients are actively looking for fast data analytics and reporting engines in order to satisfy their requirements to make sense of their complex data volumes and turn their big data into business value," comments Kaveh Mossavati, CEO of COME Computer Systeme GmbH. "When you offer an analytic database solution to a client, there has to be an advantage for them, there has to be a compelling reason why they should choose then to implement it. When we saw the power of Vectorwise, the immediate advantages we saw were the cost of the solution as well as the analytic performance and agility of the database."
"With Vectorwise, our clients can achieve better analytic performance on huge data volumes at a fraction of the cost of competing solutions," continues Mossavati. "Also, with Vectorwise, they have a database that scales effortlessly and at a very attractive cost-effective price point. Clients are cost-sensitive as they try to optimise their OpEx spend instead of relying on CapEx; it's reassuring to both us and our client base that Vectorwise is the database solution that can lower their database running costs over time."
As an existing Informatica and MicroStrategy partner, COME Computer Systeme GmbH will offer Vectorwise as a complementary engine to both ETL and business intelligence and reporting tools, thereby giving organisations the opportunity to reap the benefits of a comprehensive BI reporting and ad-hoc analytic solution.
"The ability for organisations to connect to various data sources, analyse data and then act upon the insights gleaned is key if they are to turn big data into big value," said Dr. Marcus Menzel, country manager CEMEA at Actian Corporation. "We are delighted to be working together with COME Computer Systeme GmbH and its sister firm Emergent Innovation Ltd in order to bring the benefits of Actian technology to yet more organisations who are in need of fast BI, analytics and reporting in order to understand and monetise their increasing data volumes."

Bathroom accessories are an essential part of everyday living. A bathroom which has none at will look barren and lonely. To create a luxury, fully functioning bathroom, you need to have these innovative accessories – there is no two ways about it. Whether your bathroom is styled with a contemporary flare or well and truly designed with a traditional era in mind, Plumbworld has a variety of ranges that cater to both ends of the styling spectrum. Whilst the prices of bathroom accessories can reach into the hundreds, we've worked hard on keeping prices down to ensure that you can finish off your bathroom even on a tight budget.

Buying accessories for the bathroom certainly isn't an easy job. You have to make sure they tie in with the look and feel of the bathroom as well as making sure they match each other. On top of this, you need to ensure that they fulfil a functional role and add value to the bathroom or you're just wasting precious space and money...
Primarily, accessories serve a purpose in the bathroom. Whether that's in the form of a holder for the toilet brush, a shower curtain to prevent unwanted splashes or a bath mat to stop feet slipping; they all serve a purpose. Now whilst there are other factors such as price and style to take into consideration, you want to first and foremost ensure that your accessories will do the job they're designed to do. We've taken all the necessary measures to ensure our range of bathroom accessories are all reliable, durable and, more importantly, affordable. Buy with confidence from Plumbworld as all accessories including robe hooks, soap dispensers and towel rails have gone through robust quality checks to ensure the products live up to their name and stand the test of time.
As we previously touched on, it's important to make sure that the overall design and style of your bathroom is reflected in the little accessories as well. If you're simply giving the bathroom a quick accessory makeover then you will know exactly what style you need in order to fit in with the rest of the room. However, in projects where you have a blank canvas, you may well choose a centre-piece such as a freestanding bath and focus the accessories around that. Again, it's important to consider the styling and match classic to traditional and modern to contemporary accessories where possible. But that doesn't mean you should be afraid to experiment and try various combinations with slightly different styles. Just avoid mixing straight lined futuristic looking items with contrasting classical designs – unless of course you're a bathroom designer with a keen eye for innovation.
People are familiar with the option of bulk buying to attain discounts and it's very similar to buying a pack rather than buying individual bathroom accessories. Buying individually can be beneficial if you want to mix and match certain items or don't want additional fittings, but more often than not buying an accessory pack will offer a better value for money. The bathroom accessory packages from Plumbworld are focused around different ranges all of which have their own unique styling. This in itself means that all of your accessories will complement each other whereas individual items may have different designs that clash. Another plus of buying in packs over individually is that build quality will be guaranteed throughout the pack, ensuring a high-quality set of items. Individual items from different retailers may have a varying build quality and dependent upon how picky you are; this could potentially be a downfall in your otherwise flawless bathroom.

The head of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama said today he favors health care reform, but doesn't believe a health care bill under consideration in Congress will solve the current challenges in the health insurance industry.
Phillip Pope, in a Harbert Center luncheon address to the Kiwanis Club of Birmingham, said he hopes that members of the U.S. House and Senate will "slow down" and pass a better health care bill sometime next year.
"The stated goals of the current administration are to expand health care coverage, reduce costs and improve quality," Pope said. "This bill doesn't do that."
He said Blue Cross and Blue Shield insures 2.4 million Alabamians and has a vested interest in health care reform that covers more Americans but doesn't cause the cost of coverage to escalate.
