Chittenden County's bus drivers ready to strikeBy WILSON RING
THE Associated Press | March 07,2014MONTPELIER — About 9,500 people who rely on public bus service in Vermont's largest county could be without a ride Monday if the drivers and the agency they work for don't reach a contract agreement this weekend.
Almost 70 drivers of the Chittenden County Transportation Authority are set to go on strike if an agreement can't be reached by Monday. The next negotiation session is scheduled for Saturday.
Both the authority and the union say the two sides disagree over working conditions, the hiring of part-time drivers, and working hours.
"We don't want to go on strike," driver Rob Slingerland said. "What we want is a fair contract, and that's what we're working for."
The company issued a statement Thursday warning riders that a strike loomed and that if an agreement isn't reached by Monday, the buses won't run.
General Manager Bill Watterson said an 11th hour agreement was reached previously in the drivers' three-year contract that expired in June, and he's hopeful that will happen again.
"The talk about a possible work stoppage has gotten people understandably concerned," Watterson said. "The decision on whether there's going to be a work stoppage is in the hands of the drivers' union. What we want is to get to the bargaining table and sit down and reach an agreement with the drivers' union and not have to have any disruption to our service."
The authority is legally considered a municipality, and was chartered by the Legislature in 1973. It is governed by a 13-member board of commissioners.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if you all can give me some advice. I am breastfeeding my 7 1/2 month still strong, he is really not taking solids yet very well; however, he also seems to not nurse well in the afternoons anymore, and I feel like my supply has significantly dropped. I started adding one pumping per day and fennugreek to help my supply (2 caps three times daily) and that hasn't helped. He is having enough wet diapers/poops per day and already weighs 20-21 lbs. He hasn't gained much since 5 months old (was 19lbs then), and he will only nurse during the day when nearly sleeping (he is so distracted).
Here is his schedule:
nurses at 5am, then back to sleep til 6 or 7am
nurses again around 9 before and after nap (and during nap usually)
nurses again around 12-1pm, again before and during nap. sometimes he will eat lunch around 11am, usually only a tablespoon or two
**this is where my problem is
I offer him to nurse again around 4-430, but he usually refuses, but will eat cereal and pears. I have tried nursing him in a sling, laying down, he will not sit in my lap to nurse. The only way he eats cereal is if he is in his saucer watching a baby video.
Bath at 615, then bed around 645-7pm, he nurses to sleep
wakes up 2-3 times from 7-11 to nurse, where he usually nurses WELL,
then sleeps 6-7 hours.
I started working one day per week and I'm gone from 2-8pm. I cannot pump during this time and he will not take any milk while I'm gone (bottle,cup,syringe, etc.) I have noticed my supply is so low in the evenings that I wonder if he knows that and doesn't nurse because there's nothing there!
Does this schedule sounds normal for a 7month old? Is it okay for him to go 4 or 5 hours without nursing everyday?
any suggestions would be SO appreciated!!
I forgot to mention that we cosleep still and I know that's why he nurses so well at night.

Stick to your guns. I like the "what you did with your children is your choice; this is my child" approach.
My ds is 10.5 mo and still hasn't had a Cheerio. I'm not comfortable with it. He hasn't had anything crunchy for that matter. I'd prefer he had more teeth/molars. That's my choice as his mom. That being said, I can see my mom experimenting if she wasn't told not to do something specifically.
I'm just trying to see why she would've given them...did she not have any other food or bm to give to your lo to where she was left to her own devices? She needs to respect your boundaries.

Myrrh grows as a shrub in desert regions, particularly in northeastern Africa and the Middle East. The resin obtained from the stems is used in medicinal preparations.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
In ancient times, the red-brown resin of myrrh was used to preserve mummies. It was also used as a remedy for numerous infections, including leprosy and syphilis. Myrrh was also recommended by herbalists for relief from bad breath and for dental conditions.1 In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it has been used to treat bleeding disorders and wounds.

The 17-year-old boy found dead near Sandy Beach Park early Friday morning has been identified as Boyd Shiro Maycry of Kalihi, according to the medical examiner.
Maycry died from head injuries. Additional information is deferred pending further investigation.
Honolulu police say an officer found the teenager on Kalanianaole Highway just before 2:30 a.m.
Police say Maycry was with friends and his brother at Sandy Beach Park. They're not sure how he ended up on the road.
Police have now classified the case as a suspicious death. Investigators initially thought it was a hit-and-run. But, his injuries turned out not to be consistent with a hit-and-run. They say he may have been a passenger in a vehicle.
Kalanianaole Highway was closed between Kealahou Street and Sandy Beach during the investigation.
The road was reopened at around 5:30 a.m.
We will have more on this story, including an interview with Maycry's family, tonight on KITV4 News at 5, 6 and 10.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan MeetingWednesday, May 217:00 pmCity Hall, 26 Corte Madera Ave
Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan Meeting
The first public meeting on the update is the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC)'s meeting on May 21 at City Hall at 7 p.m. At least two other public meetings on the subject will follow in 2014, and the City wants to hear from residents about their top bicycle and pedestrian concerns and priorities.
The plan, which was derived from a list of goals and projects created in 1982 and was updated in 2003 and again in 2008, focuses on developing a primary network of bikeways, bicycle facility enhancements, bicycle programs and safety improvements, as well as walkways to help ensure good connectivity between destinations such as transit, neighborhoods, employment destinations, parks, shopping, and neighboring cities.
The 2003 and 2008 updates recognized "that bicycling and walking have a critical role to play in Mill Valley's transportation picture." The 2008 plan specifically identified places where the construction of new paths could make Mill Valley safer and more accessible for bicyclists and pedestrians, and the City then successfully won grant funding to build those projects. For instance, the City is set to finish building bike-ped paths along Camino Alto between Miller and Sycamore avenues and along Sycamore Avenue between Camino Alto and the Mill Valley-Sausalito Multi-Use Path by September 2014.
"The City's Bike-Ped Plan is a critical component of our ongoing efforts to make Mill Valley safer and more accessible for bicyclists and pedestrians," Mill Valley Mayor Stephanie Moulton-Peters said. "This update is the community's opportunity to let us know the major bike-ped priorities and the specific improvements they would like to see. These ideas will shape the future of walking and biking in Mill Valley for the years to come. Please add your voice to the conversation!"
The update of the plan is part of a Transportation Authority of Marin (TAM) Project to coordinate the bike-ped plan updates of eight cities and towns in Marin as well as the County of Marin. The updates are being paid for by $200,000 in One Bay Area grant funding via the nine-county Metropolitan Transportation Commission, approved by the TAM board in November 2012. The update is divided into two phases, and Mill Valley is included in phase 1. The City plans to have a draft plan by December 2014 and a final document by February 2015.
TAM chose Alta Planning + Design, the firm that conducted the 2008 update of the Mill Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan, to do the updates at a cost of $170,000, with $30,000 leftover from the grant for outreach and contingency funding. Alta will lead Mill Valley's update with the City's BPAC advising it along the way and public input playing a critical role as well.
As a result of the updates, each municipality's plan must include
The 2008 update of the Mill Valley Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation Plan concluded: "It is important for Mill Valley to encourage bicycling and walking because these modes contribute to both a healthy personal lifestyle and the health of the entire City through lessened traffic congestion, reduced vehicle exhaust emissions, decreased noise levels, and a reduction in land dedicated towards automobile parking. Bicycling and walking also present residents with the opportunity to more easily socialize in public spaces, something that is sometime made more difficult by being confined in an automobile."
The City welcomes your input. Here are some opportunities to participate:
We thank you in advance for your constructive input to help guide the process, and we look forward to hearing from you either in-person at the upcoming meetings or via written comments.

Have you ever been in love? I have. It's fun! People ask, "Have you ever been in love?" and you get to say, "Yes. Yes I have." There's other good stuff, too, but I don't have to explain that to you. You've seen the terrible movies and heard the awful songs.
I've been in love. I've been married. I'm getting divorced, and I've learned a few things I can share with you about the stupid things people do when they fall in love. And I first feel comfortable doing it because of something I recently heard Gene Wilder say.
No, not that.
It was something he said in an old interview about the difference between "personal" and "private." Paraphrasing, he said the interviewer could ask him anything personal, because all of his thoughts and feelings and beliefs and values were "personal." However, he clarified, he wouldn't discuss what was "private," as in names, dates, times -- specific events of his life. I realized that even though I'd never put it that eloquently, that has always been my yardstick for sharing as well. And with that firmly in mind, here are four stupid things I've learned people do when they fall in love.
4Look for Flaws in the People We're Not Dating
So you and your boyfriend/girlfriend have been together for a while now and things are going really well. Super. You're starting to think this could be it. It's time to commit. It's time to settle down with this special person who likes Shaun of the Dead just as much as you, who also hates peanut butter and jelly, who likes it when you do that thing with the thing in bed.
Jack Hollingsworth/Photodisc/Get
Yep, all the tell-tale signs of a solid marriage are there.
Now what? Well, if you're like most people, you're going to start wondering about the possibility of never being with someone else romantically ever again. This is it. This is the one for you. You're getting married and you can't have anyone else. So what do you do? How do you ensure that your mate is the best person for you? Well, one option is looking at everyone else around you and quickly discerning why they're not as cool as the person you love.
You can scan the subways like the Terminator: "Fat ass, annoying laugh, weird teeth, grating voice, selfish demeanor, rude, too tall, too short, likes Dave Matthews Band ..."
Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images Entertainment/GettyÂ
I don't really have to explain why this is stupid, do I? Quite simply, if you need to tear down every other possible mate who crosses your line of vision, then you have some serious misgivings about your partner, or you're not emotionally mature enough to be committing to someone. It's true, there are other hot, kind, funny people out there besides the person you're dating:
And some of them look adorable in their Ziggy Stardust, Esq. costume.
But that's not the point. You're never going to get clarity about your future mate by tearing other people down. The only things that matter are you and your potential partner and how you work together. For example, knowing that you hate tofu and vegetables will only get you so far in your decision about whether or not to eat chicken parm every night for the rest of your life. (The metaphor was sponsored by the American Society for the Frequent Eating of Chicken Parm.)
3Ignore Flaws, or Imagine They'll Change
So you got your partner, and he/she is awesome ... mostly. Well, that makes sense. After all, no one's perfect, and even if you're not looking for perfection, no one's perfectly imperfect in the exact way you are, so, yeah, the best you can hope for is "awesome mostly." But you have to be careful about the parts that aren't right. I mean, are you just upset that your boyfriend hates sandwiches when you're all about picnics? Then yeah, I'm pretty sure you two will soldier through that one.
But what if it's something more? What if only one of you wants kids or one of you is a hard-drinking, carousing bastard or one of you rarely bathes?
Dario Cantatore/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Or all of the above?
Then that might be a more serious problem. And yet we're so content with the rest of our special little friend that we make excuses. "Oh, he'll grow out of it," or "Well, she probably won't be like this forever," or "I'm sure one day her vestigial penis will fall off and there'll be a perfectly functional vagina there." These are the kinds of rationalizations that only lovers make. Unfortunately, they're also the exact kind of lies that ultimately destroy love.
Don't walk into a commitment with expectations of change. This is it. This is who you're going to commit to. If that's not good enough, shut up and get going.

Building leadership seminar scheduledSeptember 09,2013
Business coach and the exclusive licensed Vermont provider of Elevate Your Leaders Lindel James will present a two-hour seminar on Building Your Business in the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce conference rooms Wednesday morning Sept. 25.
The seminar will stress achieving business growth and sustainability by developing staff leadership skills.
A common problem for small businesses is over-dependence on the leadership of the owner or manager, according to James. She adds that sustained growth requires strengthening leadership skills in an ever wider array of employees.
James explained that the issue can be especially critical to an owner seeking to sell his or her business. Buyers need to see that the business can continue to succeed while they become better acquainted with the intricacies of the operation and develop their own approach to the future.
A business that depends on a single individual is at risk, James said. She said thousands of Vermont business owners are boomers with their wealth tied to their businesses. Maximizing their wealth depends in part on positioning their business and their people to succeed without them.
A business that can sustain itself without the owner is attractive to a much broader market at a better price.
Whether the goal on the horizon is sale or growth, developing staff leadership is key, James stressed. Shell address methods and incentives for developing leadership in the two-hour session that begins at 7:30 a.m. It will be helpful and informative for anyone managing staff or looking to do so soon.
The $20 registration fee includes juice, coffee, bagels and pastry available at 7:15 a.m. Registration can be made online at www.central-vt.com/seminar or by calling the Chamber at 229-5711.
Elevate Your Leaders is an intensive year-long training program for current and emerging leaders and managers. It will be offered in central Vermont, Burlington and Rutland in the months ahead.
James said a limited number of participants will meet monthly for 12 months.
Each participant will set individual monthly objectives and regularly measure his or her success in group and one-on-one sessions.
It is a national program that has proven its value in other areas, and James is pleased to bring it to Vermont.

A brig or holding cell is a type of prison on board a starship, space station or planetary facility. These are heavily-guarded rooms that employ either gates or force fields to keep those incarcerated segregated from the general population of the vessel. These areas are used to contain criminals, fugitives, and others who pose a security risk and must be detained. They are also used as a means of punishment within the Starfleet ranks. (VOY: "Thirty Days")
Prior to the Xindi incident, Enterprise NX-01 was refitted with a brig. It contained a single bunk-bed and was nearly soundproof. While designed to hold two occupants, the brig was capable of holding three prisoners. It was redesigned following the Xindi mission, with the single cell being split into two. (ENT: "Stratagem", "Affliction")
24th century brigs were commonly covered on three sides by bulkheads with an electrostatic force field on the fourth side, which could be turned off and on as an entrance or exit way. The force field could also be made to open just a small gap, wide enough for food to be passed to the prisoner. (VOY: "Repentance")
In 2266, Kirk and Spock attempted to lure Charlie Evans into the Enterprise's brig so as to neutralize his destructive proclivities. This detention facility was no match for Evans' mental abilities, as he simply dematerialized the bulkhead containing the circuitry powering the force field. (TOS: "Charlie X")
Members of the ISS Enterprise landing party were incarcerated in their counterpart brig in 2267 while Spock determined a way to return them to the mirror universe. (TOS: "Mirror, Mirror")
The brig on board the USS Enterprise-A was tested by the most resourceful person available during the design, who failed to escape, and was therefore considered "escape proof". Kirk, Spock, and Leonard McCoy a problem when they needed to escape from it when Sybok took control of the Enterprise in 2287. Starfleet brigs included facilities such as a sink and toilet hidden behind a panel in the wall. (Star Trek V: The Final Frontier)
In a Xindi-Reptilian brig, the prisoner is chained to the ceiling while soldiers punch the captive. (ENT: "Azati Prime")
Roga Danar was held in a holding cell on board the Enterprise-D in 2366 after he attacked Miles O'Brien, two security officers, Lieutenant Worf, and Commander Riker. Minister Nayrok proposed to keep him unconscious because he doubted that the holding cell would stop him. Later, when an Angosian police shuttle attempted to beam him into the brig on board their ship, Danar was able to escape. (TNG: "The Hunted")
Later that same year, Jean-Luc Picard ordered Lt. Worf to take Q to the brig after being stripped of his powers. Though Q initially resisted, he relented after being threatened with forcibly being taken there. (TNG: "Deja Q")
In 2369 a Tosk was imprisoned and held in a holding cell behind the security office aboard Deep Space 9. (DS9: "Captive Pursuit")
The same year Doctor Julian Bashir and Major Kira Nerys rescued the Kobliad Ty Kajada and her prisoner Rao Vantika from the damaged Kobliad transport ship Reyab. The latter was imprisoned in a holding cell aboard the ship. (DS9: "The Passenger")
The Rakhari Croden was held in a holding cell aboard Deep Space 9 for the murder of the Miradorn Ah-Kel. The holding cells aboard Deep Space 9 featured a restroom and a mirror. (DS9: "Vortex")
In 2369 one of Odo's imaginations became reality when Quark was kept inside a holding cell. (DS9: "If Wishes Were Horses")
In 2371 Crewman Kenneth Dalby suggested that Tuvok should bring him into the brig, after he made repairs without an order and caused malfunctions of several systems. (VOY: "Learning Curve")
In 2372, Admiral Leyton placed Captain Benjamin Sisko in a Starfleet Headquarters holding cell to prevent Sisko from exposing Leyton's coup. (DS9: "Paradise Lost")
In 2373, when Gul Dukat assaulted Garak for spending time with his daughter, Ziyal, Quark convinced him that he should stand down or he would have Constable Odo take him to a holding cell. (DS9: "In Purgatory's Shadow")
Tom Paris had to spend thirty days in Voyager's brig in 2375 after violating the Prime Directive by attempting to destroy a Monean oxygen refinery. (VOY: "Thirty Days")
In 2377, a cargo bay of the Voyager was converted into a large brig, with individual cells, in order to securely house the survivors of the destruction of a Nygean prison ship. (VOY: "Repentance")
Most Cardassian brigs are not very comfortable. (citation needed • edit) Starfleet brigs are less spartan, as the Federation doesn't condone cruel and unusual punishment.

Waterbury group home puts neighbors on edgeBy ERIC BLAISDELL
Staff Writer | August 17,2013Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
This home on East Street in Waterbury is at the center of controversy over who lives there.WATERBURY A recently opened sober living home on East Street has come under fire by those living around it, with concerns arising about safety and zoning. Managers of the home say they are simply trying to give those who need it a place to live substance free.
Last month, Melissa Riegel-Garrett leased her childhood home at 19 East St. to Andrew Gonyea for the purposes of using it to house those looking for a safe, clean place to live while they battle addiction. Riegel-Garrett said she made the decision because her personal life had taken a turn and she was looking to live somewhere more affordable instead of the two-family house.
Gonyea, who has been managing similar homes in the Burlington area for years, was presented with the idea by Riegel-Garretts brother, David Riegel. Riegel, a self-described alcoholic who has been helping with the setup of the home, said he knew the benefits of what such a residence could offer since he had used similar homes to get clean himself.
However, since the home started operating with three tenants, neighbors in the area have expressed their displeasure and voiced concerns about what the home may do to their community.
Susan Mehrtens, who lives on adjacent Clover Lane, said she has not seen anything negative happening at the house but said she doubted she would since it is not in her line of sight. She said she was concerned about the house changing the character of the neighborhood if drug addicts and alcoholics start moving in.
I support the idea of a group home. I think its great. I just dont want to see it in a residential area, she said.
In an effort to cease the operation of the home, residents including Mehrtens have filed appeals to the towns Development Review Board challenging Waterbury Zoning Administrator Clare Rocks July 30 decision that the house still falls under residential use. The board is to hear the appeal Sept. 5.
The neighbors argue that the house is a business, not a residence, since it will host up to 16 people and make more than $100,000 a year for the operators. They say that constitutes a change of use for its zoning.
Jan Cote, a next-door neighbor to the home who also appealed, said she once heard men arguing and then a dog fight coming from the home one night. Cote said she called police about the incident the next day but was told she had to report it while it was happening in order to elicit police assistance.
Like Mehrtens, Cote said sober houses are a good thing but added that such places need to follow certain rules and regulations like proper supervision and licensing before they can operate.
Riegel-Garrett said she was confused as to why people believed the home needs a special permit or license to operate. She said she has rented the downstairs apartment in the home for years with the rule that there be no smoking inside.
Its very interesting that now that we are saying no drinking and no drugging and no smoking, I dont understand why people think there would need to be something special about this, she said. This literally is a place for people to live. We are renting a residential unit for the purposes of living.
The home will offer no services for its tenants, and the only requirement is that they stay substance free.
Riegel said he plans for around eight or nine people to live in the home at most, not 16. He said the reaction from the neighbors, some of whom he has known most of his life, has been unfortunate.
We want to be really kind, and weve had good relationships with these people over a period of time, he said. Were not trying to disturb the neighborhood. Were not trying to cause harm in any way, shape or form.
As for the home being a business and making money, Riegel pointed to other homes on East Street, saying several of them are rented as well.
As far as I can tell, people who rent their homes arent doing it to lose money, Riegel said, adding that his sister is just trying to break even and possibly put money aside for maintenance on the home such as a new roof in a few years.
Even with all the controversy, Riegel stands by what he and Gonyea are trying to do.
I believe in my heart that this is a positive thing for our neighborhood, the community, and for society as a whole, he said. The truth of the matter is people are suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction all over the place. There is a portion of those people that are choosing to acknowledge the situation that they are in and to try to reach out and find help for that.
Riegel said people go into rehab or inpatient care for their addictions all the time. When they come out they are returning to the community, whether the public likes it or not.
So we can either ignore the fact that they are here and hope they are successful, or we can possibly make some positive support systems where these people can really have an opportunity to be successful, he said.
As for the people who may come into the home, Gonyea said there is an interview process where those already living in the home, as well as Gonyea himself, decide whether a possible addition is a good candidate. They dont just accept anyone off the street, he said.
He said they are looking for people who may already be participating in a program to get clean, are looking for recovery and have an attitude of change. People who move in are asked to live there for six months and may stay for however long they want after that, provided the rest of the housemates believe the person is a good fit.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

Fiscal bureau estimates Medicaid expansion cost
Madison - Federal money available under the new health care law would allow Wisconsin to cover up to 175,000 more people through its BadgerCare program for the needy, a study from the nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau estimates.
The state would save $66 million in the first three years, but then pay back those savings and pay up to $67 million more in the subsequent four years. However, those numbers are dwarfed by the federal money available - a projected $4.38 billion, or 66 times the state's investment - to provide health care through 2020. »Read Full Article(256)

PlayStation 3 owners who are currently enjoying a different operating system than the one that shipped with their non-Slim models might want to prepare a few final words. Sony has announced that the next PS3 firmware update v3.21 will disable the console's "Install Other OS" feature.
Sony's senior director of corporate communications and social media Patrick Seybold posted on the PlayStation Blog that the feature is being removed for security reasons, adding that it will "help ensure that PS3 owners will continue to have access to the broad range of gaming and entertainment content from SCE and its content partners on a more secure system."
Should you decide to shun the firmware update on principle, here's a list of features that you will no longer have access to:
- Ability to sign in to PlayStation Network and use network features that require signing in to PlayStation Network, such as online features of PS3 games and chat
- Playback of PS3 software titles or Blu-ray Disc videos that require PS3 system software version 3.21 or later
- Playback of copyright-protected videos that are stored on a media server (when DTCP-IP is enabled under Settings)
- Use of new features and improvements that are available on PS3 system software 3.21 or later
I don't know anyone who uses the "Other OS" option on their fat PS3s, but there have to be a few people out there who use it, and I'm guessing they aren't too pleased with this news. Anyone here particularly enraged? Or could you care less?

About Us
Students learn about water filtration.
By Jillian Stephens, Communications Specialist, NRCS, Auburn, AL
Water is precious and we must make every drop count.
Fourth grade students learned this at the Lee County Water Festival,
sponsored by the Lee County Soil and Water Conservation District and several
local businesses.
At the festival, students learned about the water cycle, water filtration,
and aquifers through hands-on activities and a science based magic show.
Volunteers from the community taught students ways they could "make every
drop count" through more sustainable practices and by decreasing water usage.
A few weeks before the festival, Lee County School 4th graders competed to
have their artwork on the festival t-shirt which all participants and volunteers
would wear the day of the event.
T-shirt art winners include: first place Autumn Meredith, Yarbrough
Elementary; second place Lauren White, Morris Avenue School; third place Ryan
Cannon, Beauregard Elementary; fourth place Gracie Lucas, Smith Station
Intermediate; and fifth place Melissa Sanders, Beulah Elementary.
More than 1,900 students attended the event.

No One Accountable For Broken Pledges
Technical glitches in the new national health care program – Obamacare – have been largely overcome, the White House assures Americans.
Tell that to the approximately 18,000 West Virginians who thought earlier this year they were signed up for Medicaid health insurance – but are not.
State officials revealed last week federal computers are having trouble transferring information from states, including West Virginia, about people who have attempted to sign up for health insurance through Obamacare.
About 10,000 Mountain State residents eligible for Medicaid will have to sign up all over again because of the fiasco in Washington. Another 8,000 who were found to be ineligible for Medicaid will have to sign up for other insurance through the federal exchange, because their information was not transferred after they went through the process in West Virginia.
This is inexcusable, of course – but it is just one of dozens of broken promises about Obamacare.
Yet, to our knowledge, not one federal official has lost his or her job over Obamacare. Perhaps that is because the biggest broken promise of them all was made by the president.

Adams in Australia: new Saxophone Concerto premiere(August 2013)
John Adams travels to Australia to conduct concerts with the Sydney and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras, including the premiere of his new Saxophone Concerto.
The new Saxophone Concerto by John Adams is unveiled by the composer as part of a sequence of Australian concerts he conducts in Sydney and Melbourne. Timothy McAllister is soloist in the new concerto, receiving its premiere on 22 August at the Sydney Opera House with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. Concerts with the Melbourne Symphony follow with the orchestral work City Noir receiving its Australian premiere on 29 August. Both programmes also feature the first Australian performances of the Violin Concerto with Leila Josefowicz as soloist.
The Saxophone Concerto is commissioned by four orchestras across three continents: the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, St Louis Symphony, Baltimore Symphony and Orquestra Sinfonica Do Estado De São Paulo. Following his performances in Sydney (22/23 August), Timothy McAllister gives the first US performances with the Baltimore Symphony conducted by Marin Alsop (20-22 September) and with the St Louis Symphony and David Robertson (5/6 October).
John Adams describes in his programme note how he grew up "hearing the sound of the saxophone virtually every day — my father had played alto in swing bands during the 1930s and our family record collection was well stocked with albums by the great jazz masters — I never considered the saxophone an alien instrument. My 1987 opera Nixon in China is almost immediately recognizable by its sax quartet, which gives the orchestration its special timbre. I followed Nixon with another work, Fearful Symmetries, that also features a sax quartet in an even more salient role. In 2010 I composed City Noir, a jazz-inflected symphony that featured a fiendishly difficult solo part for alto sax, a trope indebted to the wild and skittish styles of the great bebop and post-bop artists such as Charlie Parker, Lennie Tristano and Eric Dolphy.
"Finding a sax soloist who could play in this style but who was sufficiently trained to be able to sit in the middle of a modern symphony orchestra was a difficult assignment. But fortunately I met Tim McAllister, who is quite likely the reigning master of the classical saxophone, an artist who while rigorously trained is also aware of the jazz tradition.
"I knew many great recordings from the jazz past that could form a basis for my compositional thinking, among them Focus, a 1961 album by Stan Getz for tenor sax and an orchestra of harp and strings arranged by Eddie Sauter. Although clearly a "studio" creation, this album featured writing for the strings that referred to Stravinsky, Bartók and Ravel. Another album, Charlie Parker and Strings, from 1950, although more conventional in format, nonetheless helped to set a scenario in my mind for way the alto sax could float and soar above an orchestra. Another album that I'd known since I was a teenager, New Bottle Old Wine, with Canonball Adderley and that greatest of all jazz arrangers, Gil Evans, remained in mind throughout the composing of the new concerto as a model to aspire to."
The 32-minute concerto is cast in two parts, a similar structure to that Adams adopts in his Violin Concerto and City Noir: a longer first part combining a fast movement with a slow, lyrical one is followed by a shorter second part, here described by the composer as "a species of funk-rondo with a fast, driving pulse".
Other Adams highlights in the coming months include The Gospel According to the Other Mary at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago conducted by Grant Gershon (7 September), the Russian premiere of the Violin Concerto with the MDR Symphony Orchestra and Kristjan Järvi visiting Yekaterinburg (10 October), the Brazilian premiere of the Doctor Atomic Symphony in São Paulo (7 November), and a performance of El Niño to close The Rest is Noise series at the Southbank Centre in London (14 December).

When she nurses or spits up, milk runs into her neck, and my dh and I wipe it out the best we can. Today we noticed a bad rash around her neck when we pulled all the skin back! I don't know how to keep this area completely dry so this won't happen. I don't know if/what I should put on her neck to help clear it up. Thanks for any advice.

Denzel Washington's The Book of Eli comes out this Friday, and we're all obviously excited by the prospect of Denzel kicking ass and/or taking names in a post apocalyptic wasteland. But take a look at the Book of Eli trailer...
...and tell me: Does that remind you of anything? It reminded me of Fallout 3. Check out the similarities:
- Both are set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
- Both feature a mysterious wasteland wander who holds the key to saving his civilization.
- Both feature a megalomaniac leader attempting to seize power by offering to rebuild the world.
- Art direction is very similar. Same muted colors, dusty, filtered look.
- Both feature destroyed highway overpasses prominently.
- Both feature the main character taking on a henchman.
- Eli's Slow motion bazooka shot reminiscent of Fallout 3's V.A.T.S system.
- Speaking of V.A.T.S, Eli must be using it to fight. He takes on 5 post-Apocalypse baddies without getting scratched.
- The grenades, arrows, knives, shotguns, and handguns in The Book of Eli indicate a variety of weapons, just like in Fallout 3.
There are obvious differences too, of course. There's no Bible (that I've found) in Fallout 3, and the whole 1950s kitch thing is missing from Eli, but the similarities are pretty unmistakable.
I'm not saying Eli is stealing from Fallout, though; only that both works seem informed by the same artistic and cultural influences. Book of Eli was written by Gary Whitta, a former editor of PC Gamer magazine, and was a behind writer on Duke Nukem Forever, Prey, and Gears of War, so the gaming influence is bound to be an integral part of The Book of Eli.
What do you think: Does Eli look like a movie version of Bethesda's Fallout 3, or am I barking up the crazy tree here? Notice any other similarities that I missed?

VIDEO: Highlights and reaction from JMU's winning inbounds playJames Madison's Andre Nation slammed home an inbound alley-oop with less than a second remaining to give the Dukes a stunning 72-71 win over Delaware Sunday night.
Delaware took 11-point leads in both halves of a game they trailed by three at the break, but could not get the defensive stand they needed when Devon Moore lobbed the inbound pass about 2 feet in front of the rim, only to have Nation collect it and slam it home with .6 seconds remaining.
The Blue Hens had one last chance but their in-bounds pass by Jamelle Hagins was thrown over the head of everyone out of bounds to seal the win for the Dukes.
After the game Devon Saddler said Nation became open when the Dukes ran a screen near the top of the key, and both players appeared to cheat towards a cutter going out towards the left wing, leaving Nation open, and somehow in front of Jamelle Hagins for the finish.
In front of a season-high 3,284 fans and a regional television audience, Delaware rocketed to a 13-2 advantage where all five starters had at least a point. JMU wouldn't let that advantage last long, eventually tying the game at 22 in the middle of an 18-5 run which put them up 6. Delaware ultimately cut the deficit to 38-36 at intermission.
Saddler hit a three-pointer for the first points of the second half, giving Delaware a lead that eventually swelled to 54-43 with 13:54 remaining after Kyle Anderson hit three free-throws after being fouled. This time JMU went on a a 17-6 run to tie the game at 60, but didn't take the lead again until the 4:39 mark when Moore's free throw put them up 67-66.
Ron Curry's three-pointer put the Dukes up 4, but then a basket and foul by Devon Saddler and a driving layup by the captain put Delaware up 71-70, setting up the unfortunate dramatics for the hosts.
Saddler's 23 points led the Blue Hens, who dropped to third place amongst CAA Tournament-eligible teams, and two games behind Northeastern in the loss column, with only the top seed earning a bye to the semifinals of next month's CAA Tournament in Richmond.
Moore and Goins both scored 19 for JMU (16-12, 10-5 CAA), who now are a half game ahead of Delaware in 2nd place.
Delaware hosts Drexel on Thursday night.

The datasets contain Potentially Preventable Visit (PPV) observed, expected, and risk-adjusted rates for all payer beneficiaries by patient county and patient zip code beginning in 2011.
The Potentially Preventable Visits (PPV), obtained from software created by 3M Health Information Systems, are emergency visits that may result from a lack of adequate access to care or ambulatory care coordination. These ambulatory sensitive conditions could be reduced or eliminated with adequate patient monitoring and follow up.
The rates were calculated using Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS) inpatient and outpatient data and Claritas population information.
The observed, expected and risk adjusted rates for PPV are presented by either resident county (including a statewide total) or resident zip code (including a statewide total).

11-year sentence for Planned Parenthood fire
A man convicted of setting a fire at a Planned Parenthood building in Grand Chute has been sentenced to 11 years in prison.
Francis Grady apologized to employees at Planned Parenthood before he was sentenced in federal court in Green Bay Thursday.
Grady was convicted of arson last summer and told investigators that voices of children in his head told him to start the fire. Abortions are performed at the Grand Chute facility. He said he used a hammer to break a window at the clinic, then poured gas from a plastic bottle and used a lighter to ignite a small fire.
No one was injured in the fire last April.
WLUK-TV says Grady could have gone to prison for 21 years. His defense attorney argued for a lesser sentence, citing Grady's history of alcohol abuse and mental illness.

We Figured Out Manny
How is it that such a high profile ballplayer is able to become invisible whenever he feels like it?
How is it that such a high profile ballplayer is able to cause mayhem wherever he goes?
How is it that such a high profile ballplayer had his heart set on California and only California?
We figured it out, folks:
Of course, this also explains why he bleeds neon green, why he makes guttural nonsensical noises and why he appears so alien to the rest of the world.
But in the end, dude can play baseball.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

I really cannot find that video man. I just typed in Pujols and a bunch of vids came up, but I couldn't find that specific one.
The similarities between the two are uncanny. Glad someone figured it out.
I'm a fan of how those two pictures look alike. That's really the only way I'll ever be a fan of Manny until he goes away forever.
"How is it that such a high profile ballplayer is able to cause mayhem wherever he goes?"
Something tells me the mayhem wouldnt be so quite enabled if he hit like David Eckstein🙂
Great investigative reporting. It ALL makes sense now. Somehow I think Manny would get a kick out of the comparison, except for the fact his secret is now out.
I just wish I had hair like that
Go Giants! Go anyone other than Manny. The only time I say Go Manny is when I wish he would go away! I wish Manny would learn its about team! The country is in a recession but you still got your deal, so who cares? Right Manny! Its all about you and no one else. Rush says he wants Obama to fail. Well I want Manny to fail!
If Manny is Predator, then I wonder what that makes Scott Boras. Alien, maybe? And I guess Ned Coletti must be Arnold Schwarzenegger, then.
Valid points all… except for FOTR. LOL. I think Manny could pitch if he put his mind to it… problem is, no mind, no pitch. Snap. Oh, and D'Hacks… thanks for bringing up Eckstein — the one who got away😉
I think I'm going to start calling Manny "The Predator" because of this post!
The pitching will come around. Remember hope is eternal!
Welcome Mannywood!
We Love L.A.! WE LOVE IT!!!
Zkonedog & Emma — We do love it… sorta… the predator part anyway.

Apple iPhone 4Compare9.5 reviewThe iPhone 4 is now boxier, with the rear side now flat, instead of rounded. It will keep the 3.5-inch display diagonal, but will quadruple the pixels to 640x960, making it the highest-resolution screen on a smartphone to date. Apple actually calls the new screen Retina Display, because it shows 326 pixels per inch, while the human eye can only distinguish around 300 ppi. In addition, the screen will utilize the LCD IPS technology (same as in the iPad). The other new stuff includes a front-facing video call camera, 5MP main camera lens with LED flash and 720p HD video recording, Micro-SIM slot, instead of ordinary SIM, a secondary mic for noise-cancellation and a lot of other new features.+ View Specs

HTC EVO 4GCompare9.5 reviewSimilarly to the HD2, the HTC EVO 4G sports a giant 4.3-inch display and a 1GHz Snapdragon chipset. The most interesting thing about it however, is that it's the first phone in the United States to support Sprint's WiMAX 4G network. This allows it to take advantage of better video streaming, faster data connectivity and a 1.3MP front-facing camera for video calls. It has HTC's renowned Sense UI on top of Android 2.1, which means users will have access to thousands of applications. Another premium feature of the smartphone is the 8MP camera with HD video recording capabilities.+ View Specs

It comes with top-of-the-line specifications, including a 5.2-inch, 1080p display made using IPS LCD technology, a quad-core Snapdragon 800 chip running at 2.3GHz, and 2GB of RAM. In terms of performance, the device should rank among the best handsets to date. Further down the list we have an advanced 13MP camera that stands out with cool features like optical image stabilization and 1080p video capturing at 60 frames per second. A notable multimedia feature is the support for 24-bit, 192kHz audio. The design of the LG G2 is quite unusual for its volume and power buttons are placed on the back. Its thickness of 9 millimeters is acceptable considering that inside the phone you'll find a 3000mAh removable battery. 32GB of on-board storage are present, expandable further through the use of a microSD card (in some markets).+ View Specs
Apple iPhone 7 PlusCompare9.3 reviewThe iPhone 7 Plus is here - big, capable, and long-lasting as its predecessor. While its overall size and shape have been left intact, the latest models comes in two new shades - matter black and shiny Jet Black. Also, the phone is now resistant to water and dust ingress, bearing IP67 certification. One of the highlights of the iPhone 7 Plus is on its back. The phone's dual-camera setup allows it to take better low-light shots, just like the iPhone 7. However, the secondary camera also gives it 2x optical zoom capabilities, as well as the option to add beautiful background blur effect to images. Battery life has been given a welcome boost that could provide users around 1 hour of additional use time. The new A10 Fusion chip is up to 40% more powerful than last-year's A9, yet promises great power efficiency. And while the iPhone 7 lacks an audio jack, the box includes Lightning connector EarPods, as well as a Lightning to 3.5mm adapter.+ View Specs

Apple iPhone 6sCompare9.3 reviewNot much has changed on the surface since the iPhone 6 introduced an updated look with a laminated screen and comfortably round corners. This time around, though, Apple is beating its chest for incorporating Series 7000 aluminum instead of the anodized aluminum it's been traditionally using. The screen on the iPhone 6s is virtually unchanged from what the iPhone 6 brought to the table, but the smartphone has gained 3D Touch control that lets users deliberately choose between a light tap, a press, and a "deeper" press, triggering a range of specific controls. Other notable additions include the Apple A9 chipset, and a 12MP rear camera with 4K resolution video recording.+ View Specs

Apple iPhone 5sCompare9.3 reviewThe iPhone 5s is not a radical departure in design for Apple, save for one very important feature. No, we don't mean the new Space Gray and Gold colors. We have in mind the home button that has been on iPhones from day one, is now turned into a fingerprint scanner dubbed Touch ID. It lets you unlock the phone and authorize purchases, safely storing your fingerprints in the A7 processor itself, out of the reach for anyone but a few default iOS 7 apps. This A7 processor debuts on the iPhone 5s as the first 64-bit mobile chipset in use on a commercial device, utilized by the latest flat and minimalistic iOS 7 that has been rewritten to take advantage of the 64-bit system. It sports a dedicated M7 co-processor for always-on motion sensing, too. The iSight camera stayed 8 MP, but is much improved, with larger pixels, wider aperture, and the ability to shoot slow motion videos, not to mention the dual two-tone LED flash on the back that strives for natural skin color representation.+ View Specs

With a powerful quad-core Exynos chip, which turns into Snapdragon S4 + LTE for the US, the phone becomes the 2012 Android yardstick.

Sony Xperia Z2Compare9.2 reviewThe water and dust-resistant Xperia Z2 comes only six months after the previous Xperia Z1 flagship was released. Although it's quick update, the Xperia Z2 features a larger, 5.2-inch IPS display that boasts a new imaging technology, called Live Color LED. Of course, the screen is not the only improvement over its predecessor. Although it's even thinner and lighter, the Xperia Z2 runs on the brand new 2.3 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 chipset, paired with a fantastic 3 GB of RAM. The 20.7MP camera on its back is capable of 4K recording, slow-motion video, and adding real-time effects.

It is only 7.5 millimeters thin and weighs just 469 grams, making it the lightest slate of this size. Its screen is identical to the one we know from its predecessor - a 9.7-inch Retina Display with oleophobic coating and resolution of 1536 by 2048 pixels. Under the hood, Apple has chosen to install its A7 chip, which is the very same 64-bit SoC powering the iPhone 5s. As a result, the new iPad is two times faster than the previous model. With the 5MP iSight camera, one can take detailed photos and 1080p Full HD videos, while the FaceTime HD front-facing snapper is ideal for video chats and self portraits. Connecting to the internet is done either via Wi-Fi, or over a 4G LTE network, should you choose a cellular-enabled iPad Air model.

Motorola Moto X StyleCompare9.1 reviewThe Motorola Moto X Style isn't exactly small, but it isn't humongous either.

Inside ticks a Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 SoC with a 1.8GHz maximum clock speed. Yup, turns out that the rumors of the phone packing an SD 810 were incorrect. But while not the fastest SoC in Qualcomm's stable, the Snapdragon 808 is still powerful enough to deliver a smooth experience, especially when it is accompanied by 3GB of RAM.Turn the Moto X Style around and you'll find a 21MP camera with F2.0, phase-detection autofocus, and dual-tone LED flash.On the front of the Moto X Style we see a 5MP front-facing camera backed up by... an LED flash.+ View Specs

The back of the heads have hinges, and the brick shaped candy dispenses below the chin when you tilt the head back. There are hundreds of Pez dispenser styles. The candy is mostly fruit flavors.

This thread was pretty inactive for a while. I tried to revive it with the limericks a month or so ago, and we had the discussion early on about whether or not to start a new thread. That was left unresolved at the time, so we can decide today (but I have to leave for work right now.)_________________________

Rebel Wilson Brings Taste Of Australia To Los Angeles
Australian actress Rebel Wilson hauled her favorite foods from Down Under to Los Angeles to serve up for her roommate Matt Lucas this Christmas.
The Bridesmaids star planned to prepare pavlova for the British funnyman after jetting back to her native Sydney and stocking up on supplies to make the meringue dessert, which is popular in Australia and New Zealand.
She tells Britain's Metro newspaper, "I bought ingredients to make pavlova for me and Matt at Christmas. I'm sure you can buy sugar and vanilla essence in America but it might not taste the same. (Airport) customs might not like it but we'll see what happens."
Wilson also took a few of her favorite candy bars back to the States: "My sister went to the supermarket (in Sydney) and bought a load of chocolate. I've got a suitcase full of it to take back with me. It's so heavy... The chocolate... tastes different in America. It's just not the same. There's no Cadbury's. I miss Cadbury's Peppermint, Mars Bars, Smarties."
