New and Recommended Fiction for May
Click on this link for a complete list of our recent additions in fiction!
River of stars / Guy Gavriel Kay (FANTASY FICTION) -- In an empire divided by bitter factions circling an exquisitely cultured emperor who loves his gardens and his art far more than the burdens of governing, dramatic events on the northern steppe alter the balance of power in the world, leading to events no one could have foretold, under the river of stars.
The smart one by Jennifer Close (FICTION) -- Weezy and her husband become increasingly perplexed by life challenges that compel their first daughter to move back into her childhood room, their second daughter to cancel her wedding, and their son to become enmeshed in a relationship disaster.
Hellhole : awakening by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson (SCIENCE FICTION) -- A confrontation between General Adolphus and the fleets of Diadem Michella Duchenet is compromised by a shadow-Xayan mental blast, an imminent asteroid collision in the outer Candela system, and a fanatical band of rogue telemancers.
Prophet of bones by Ted Kosmatka (FICTION) -- A dazzling young scientist runs for his life and searches for answers after being chased away by paramilitaries from an archeological dig where bones belonging to a puzzling, new species were discovered.
Luther : the calling by Neil Cross (MYSTERY FICTION) -- DCI John Luther takes us into his past and his mind. It is the story of the serial killer case that tore his personal and professional relationships apart and propelled him over the precipice beyond fury, beyond vengeance, all the way to the other side of the law.
The raven's warrior by Vincent Pratchett (FICTION) -- Wounded in battle (900 A.D.), a near dead Celtic warrior is taken by Viken raiders and sold into a Baghdad slave market. He is dragged further East, through the dessert, into the 'Middle Kingdom' where he is bought by a Taoist Priest and his beautiful daughter. Hazy images of silk, herbs, needles, potions and steel, can only lead to one thing, he has been purchased by a wizard and his witch. Arkthar fears for his soul.
The golem and the jinni by Helene Wecker (FICTION) -- Chava, a golem brought to life by a disgraced rabbi, and Ahmad, a jinni made of fire, form an unlikely friendship on the streets of New York until a fateful choice changes everything.
Blood of dragons by Robin Hobb (FANTASY FICTION) -- The Tarman expedition has at last found Kelsingra, a city filled with ancient treasures. Here, the dragons and their Elderling keepers may discover their full potential, but only if the magic of Kelsingra can be unlocked. Already rumours of the city have floated down the Rain Wild River. Adventurers, pirates and fortune hunters will soon be coming to pillage what they can. Among them, Hest Finbok, determined to claim back his errant wife, Alise. Meanwhile, Selden Vestrit finds himself a prisoner of the ailing Duke of Chalced, who believes him to be some sort of dragon-man whose flesh and blood may work miracle cures. Soon Tintaglia's singer will be sacrificed to keep this vile old tyrant alive. Where is Tintaglia, the greatest of all dragons, when there is such need of her? Attacked, dying of a poisoned wound, can she survive? She holds the memories that will unlock the mysteries of Kelsingra, and the power to defend it, and her own. Without her, all may be lost.
The cuckoo's calling by Robert Galbraith (MYSTERY FICTION) -- After losing his leg to a land mine in Afghanistan, Cormoran Strike is barely scraping by as a private investigator. Strike is down to one client, and creditors are calling. He has also just broken up with his longtime girlfriend and is living in his office. Then John Bristow walks through his door with an amazing story: His sister, the legendary supermodel Lula Landry, known to her friends as the Cuckoo, famously fell to her death a few months earlier. The police ruled it a suicide, but John refuses to believe that. The case plunges Strike into the world of multi-millionaire beauties, rock-star boyfriends, and desperate designers, and it introduces him to every variety of pleasure, enticement, seduction, and delusion known to man.
The Cherry Cola Book Club by Ashton Lee (FICTION) -- Set in a small town in Mississippi, The Cherry Cola Book Club is the touching and sometimes hilarious story of a young, upbeat librarian who has been given an ultimatum to increase the library's circulation dramatically--or risk having to close its doors. Maura doesn't just start a book club; she gets involved in unique and unexpected ways with her library patrons. She entertains and advises them, she has potluck dinners, and life in the town begins to imitate art. The patrons begin to relate their own lives to the work of writers like Margaret Mitchell and Harper Lee. In moving and personal ways, Maura helps them deal with such subjects as long-lost love and a brush with death, offering advice on nearly everything--including romance. No topic is off limits. Along the way, Maura raises the profile of the library--but will it be enough?
Good people by Ewart Hutton (MYSTERY FICTION) -- Detective Sergeant Glyn Capaldi, fallen from grace and exiled from Cardiff to the Welsh countryside, does his best to serve as the catchall detective in the big bit in the middle that God gave to the sheep. It's a place where nothing of any significance is meant to happen, a place where his superiors believe he can do little harm. But trouble has a way of catching up with Capaldi. Six men and a young woman disappear after a night of rugby and drink. They don't all reappear. The ones who do are "good people," and they give a reasonable explanation for the absence of the woman and their friend. Only Capaldi remains unconvinced. In the face of opposition, Capaldi delves deeper and starts to uncover a network of conflicts, betrayals, and depravity that resonates below the outwardly calm surface of rural respectability.

Warning Signs - Page 4
Some experts advocate letting thirst be a guide rather than a prescribed intake regimen. Others recommend paying attention to urine color—pale or almost clear urine can equate to "hydrated" while darker urine is a signal more fluids are needed. Trail runners should test hydration plans during training in order to find the best individualized strategy for race day.
The 24 hours following a long trail run (four hours or longer) are critical for drinking water, as well as eating food and drinking fluids that contain electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. Fresh fruits and vegetables not only assist with electrolyte replacement but are rich in antioxidants to assist in much-needed tissue healing.
Athletes should weigh themselves the day following long runs or races. If you lose more than two percent of your total body weight, or note significant weight gain, consult a health professional as it may imply a lingering electrolyte imbalance or other health issue.
Preventing Rhabdomyolysis
The treatment is conveniently the prevention—hydration! Proper hydration is key as simply "more" is not always better. Weigh yourself before and after intense exercise and replace fluids accordingly. Include sodium replacement and remember that drinking small amounts frequently allows the fluid to become better utilized than large amounts of fluid infrequently. Include electrolytes and calories post exercise.
With awareness, proper training and hydration, trail runners can avoid the serious and possibly fatal consequences of exertional rhabdomyolysis. Run trails smart and train safe.
Plan for proper hydration (practice while training by determining your individual sweat rate and fluid needs).
- Avoid abrupt increases in exercise/training intensity (increase over time instead).
- Avoid racing or extreme training while ill with the flu or other illness.
- Talk with your health care professional about risks of rhabdo relative to your athletic training and any medications you may be taking.
- Make accommodations for temperature
- and extremes. Alter hydration and nutrition as needed.
- Pay attention to warning signs!

After many, many years of searching, I've finally found the system that works for me: the LB-6 + Para DI. Yeah, I know they've been around forever, but I've just now gotten around to trying that combo. No, it's not as realistic as some, but IMHO it's very musical and responsive. Warm, but with a nice crisp high end. The dreaded quack can easily be minimized with a little judicious eq. And what could be simpler ... and no batteries since I'm using the passive version of the LB-6 and phantom power from the board for the Para DI.
I guess the most significant downside to the LB-6 is the cost of the installation, which requires an experienced and well-equipped luthier. And since I've always done my own, any cost was more than I was use to. However Bobby Scoby at Martin Music in Memphis did a A+ job using the required saddle slot cutting jig, etc. Plus, I have a new appreciation for the importance of a good install.
Public thanks to Bobby and to LR Baggs for keeping this terrific product around for all these years.

Deadline Extended for Special Issue of Terminology 18:1 (2012). Neology in
Specialized Communication
Papers Due July 18th 2011

Special Issue of Terminology 18:1 (2012). Neology in Specialized Communication
The study of neonyms makes it possible to measure the vitality of a
language. In today's globalized society, the contrastive studies of
different languages often give very valuable information about the degree
of balance, harmonization or interference between different languages.
The contributors to this special issue will be asked to explain how they
approach specialized neologisms in the context of specialized
communication, giving a tentative answer to the following questions:
- Are the everyday, common words useful to denominate new specialized concepts?
- Can specialized neologisms be directly transferred from one language to
- What resources are available in languages to give a name to a new concept?
- What is the best neonym for a new reality?
- How can the needs for neonymy be detected?
- How can a neologism of a specific field be detected?
- What are the most useful tools to automate the processing of specialized
neologisms? etc.
The editors invite submissions that present innovative research work or
articles addressing a central conceptual, theoretical, and/or empirical
investigation on specialized neology. Authors may want to deal with one or
several of the following issues:
1. Theoretical approaches to neonymy or specialized neology.
2. Descriptive and contrastive studies in specialized neology.
3. Social and sociolinguistic aspects of specialized neology.
4. Communicative and cognitive aspects of specialized neology.
5. Neologisms and specialized fields.
6. Specialized neology in language planning.
7. New tools for neonymy work in terminology.
8. Neology in professional settings.
Papers should be written with Word and comprise between 20-30 pages. More
information on formatting requirements can be found on the John Benjamins
website (
). English is preferred (80% of the contents),
but submissions in French, Spanish or German will be considered. Each issue
of Terminology contains up to six articles.
Please send submissions to: termneology

I need craniados and can breed any pokemon not listed in my signature for you.
Now that my pokedex is complete, I'm pretty much just trading for shinies. I can breed any pokemon and (for now) have pretty much every legendary. I try to trade only legitimate pokemon and if I have any suspicion that a Pokemon that I received from a trade is not, I will most likely not re-offer it to anyone in anyway. That being said I also want to receive ONLY legitimately obtained Pokemon.
Shinies I have: and Talonflame
Shinies I Want: Mainly and (with Encore) or any of their evolutions.
Any others will be well considered so please make any offers.
I have a near flawless shiny cranidos. Really want shinies at high levels. Shiny Cloyster would be awesome but any shiny will do.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Very well organised event but beware those hills!In full: The Rotary Club provide so many marshals here, it's hard not to feel loved. Some really lovely scenery too, from the River Wey Navigation (canal) to the North Downs Way.All very nice, and a cool t-shirt too.The hills and sand were hard-going, but if you like hills you love this event :-)Date of review: September 22, 2014
In short: Brilliantly organised race which can withstand all weathersIn full: The organisation and friendliness of this race are absolutely first-rate. It's always a pleasure to take part in any of the organiser's races - the Santa Run, 10k, 8 miler, Half-Marathon and this Marathon.The course is advertised as "very multi-terrain" and it's held at the end of December along a coast.Given that it's usually cold, wet and windy in December then that's what you can reasonably expect here. I can't believe anybody is surprised to find such conditions at a "very multi-terrain" course in December! It is the luck of the drawer with weather as the course was bone-dry and zero wind in 2010 and 2011, but has been wet now for two years.The Race HQ was too busy, but this was exacerbated by so many runners wishing to shelter from the weather inside the building, which then inhibited access to the bag drop and number collection. Maybe a marquee for runners to shelter in next year?The accusations of the unexpectedly early race start seem to have gotten a bit out of hand. I was ready on the start line with 10 minutes to go, and we got the gun at 08:58:06. Admittedly early, but I would have thought most people would be lined up with less than two minutes to spare?There are long sections of smooth tarmac, sections of slightly less smooth tarmac, the old Hayling railway line which is high quality trail. The sections of mud were limited to less than a mile in each direction. For sure there were slippy, but I just slowed down on them and then made time up on the tarmac parts.Wonderful bespoke medal, and a nice good bag with a huge box of breakfast cereal, salty snacks, coffee chocolates, free soup and bread, a free race mug, CLIF Bar, drawstring bag. That's a lot of stuff for such a modest entry fee.Not only do we get all that stuff, but the race also donates to the RNLI too. Pretty generous by the organisers I would say.If you don't like poor weather then I wouldn't recommend a coastal marathon in England in December. If you're up for a bit of a "you versus the conditions" event then you'll love this.PS There are thousands of free car park spaces in Southsea, as the race organiser told us many times in advance.Date of review: December 23, 2013
In short: Probably the best off-road marathon in the country?In full: Fabulous race with gorgeous views. A constantly changing course with lots of variety and generally only "undulating" hills and nothing too outrageous (aside from the St Martha's Church incline!).Amazing to see so many marshals helping out and, unlike a previous contributor, I am eternally grateful to every single one of them for their selfless help. It matters not at all whether they all shout encouragement -- that's not everybody's personality. They were there to make sure we were safe and stayed on course. Thank you!!!The RD promised to ensure there'll be additional water available at the finish next year. And with that, this race cannot possibly be improved. Thoroughly, thoroughly recommended to all!Date of review: September 19, 2011
In short: Great January Marathon in lovely rural GloucestershireIn full: This race did exactly what it said on the tin: It was a marathon in January in Gloucestershire! That meant the course was mildly undulating and the weather was a bit cold (although luckily today it wasn't too bad at all).The Race HQ in the school was a perfect size for the 500 competitors, and congratulations to the organisers for keeping the limit so that facilities could cope.The course lap was almost entirely left-hand bends, making it easier/safer to always stay on the left (and the shortest line) while staying out of the way of what little traffic there was.The laps made it really nice to mix up the slower and faster runners and create a good spirit between them which is often absent on conventional courses.The beanie hat and outstanding medal were brilliant.As Garmins always over-measure, I am not in the least concerned that mine reported the course being about 0.1% long. I hardly imagine that I was able to stay on the perfect racing line the whole way.Water and High5 drinks at the well-staffed drinks station were excellent too.Great stuff and I'll be back.Date of review: January 25, 2011
In short: Lovely course, clockwork organisation, excellent t-shirtIn full: A really nice course around Wisley Common, with some tarmac, leaves, puddles, sand, puddles, hills, tree roots and more to contend with. It all added to a sense of adventure and made this a welcome alternative to yet-another-road 10k.I'm surprised any runners encountered problems with the dog-runners. My experience was that they were polite and considerate of those around them, often moving aside to give the other runners more room to pass. The course was generally very wide (wide enough to get two buses through), so it didn't matter, and when the course narrowed it was only for a few moments.My memory of the day was the great comararderie between the dog-runners and the other runners.Well done to the organisers for a lovely t-shirt and the high-quality catering!TZDate of review: November 6, 2010
In short: Brilliant low-key marathon. Fantastic organisationIn full: Very well-organised course. The high school HQ was perfect for the number of runners this year. The course was a lovely trip along narrow country lanes, generally lined with high hedges so sheltered from the weather.This felt like a very relaxed long Sunday run - no pressure or stress at all. A lovely change after London week ago.Great bespoke medal (so much better than the standard picks from the Running Imp catalogue!). Great stuff!Date of review: May 5, 2010
In short: The finest race organisation in the UKIn full: A fabulous course with very little traffic, exceptional organisation, generous sweatshirt and goodie bag, nice scenery, quick (although not completely flat) course. Everything is brilliant. Races like the Bath Half-Marathon should come here for lessons on how to keep runners happy, this is how it's done.Date of review: March 24, 2009
In short: Flat. Fast... but so much more than that!In full: My attraction to this race was:a) Its extraordinarily flat course,b) Its 9am start-time (before the weather gets too hot).I came and found the flat course and duly set my new 10k PB!However, I was really pleasantly surprised by just how much more there was to this race than just a quick course. The organisation was really slick - arranging people into a human-chain before the start worked well. We had a man dressed as a squirrel sounding the starting hooter! Load of marshalls, excellent km markers and all the lumps and bumps on the pavements had even been marked out with white paint.At the finish we all got free orange squash, then a free banana, then a goodie bag, then a nice t-shirt (in a variety of sizes), then a medal! Even you fancied a quick dip, you were also entitled to a free swim in the Leisure Centre pool.Results were available to view within minutes of finishing, and up on the website by early evening.The organisers also raised a lot of money for local charities.This is a model race, and one which barely puts a foot wrong. It's so much more than JUST a flat course!TZDate of review: May 18, 2008
In short: The best race in the world.In full: 'nuff said.Date of review: April 28, 2008
In short: Totton. This isn't just fast. It's very fast!In full: It's true that Totton was at the back of the queue when God handed out pretty scenery.But who cares? If you're going sufficiently slow to notice, you're not trying hard enough! :-)The organisation here was excellent, and the school coped admirably with the people. Even the chairs in the hall were big enough for full-sized people!Well marshalled, a nice souvenir, results displayed within minutes of runners crossing the line, official photos available as soon as the race finished.This is a no-nonsense, well-organised uber-fast 10k.Please, Hampshire Police, please can we keep it?!!TZDate of review: April 8, 2008

Rated 3.6 out of 5�by 10 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Lm Works great Does exactly what it is suppossed to do. Great price for a great product. October 17, 2016
Rated 1 out of 5�by Dj Had to return product At 6'5, 240 lbs, the stamina bench is not sturdy enough for the product's claims. It also was tedious to put together, with many parts, bolts, washers and more. Very disappointing. Would not recommend July 6, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Purchaser Pretty Amazing Value Have wanted one of these for years. Great product, Really well made, Folds up for storage. Thank you! May 25, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Miltatman Good, solid equipment This is exactly what I was looking for. It's steady and holds my weight easily and I'm approaching the weight limit on it. The only reason I didn't give it a full 5 stars is the assembly instructions are a bit lacking. March 16, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5�by Robb Robb Works just like expected, came in a timely manner, have only one request. Wish your site would specifically say what is online order or what u can actually get in the store, I hate wasting gas to go there only to find out I have to order it, to many places do this these days, would be nice to know first, thanks . August 3, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by Captain Not as sturdy for someone weighing 230. Advertised as good to 250 Fit and finish were excellent. Pad may not be as durable/long lasting as I hoped. If you are not dead centered back/ hip support wobbles March 14, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5�by Blas X Hyper Ab Bench I watched the video on this product and was impressed but once I received and put it together it wasn't what I expected.. I also failed to notice that it had a weight limit of 250lbs not good for a guy who weighs 270lbs and would like to add weighted plates to his workout. June 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by raplon great value Easy assembly - sturdy construction, great value! I've used similar devices at gyms &/but enjoy the luxury of have this bench in my office where I can use it as my leisure. June 28, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5�by ViperAmpd22 Just an OK product. If you have ever been in a gym and have done hyperextensions then you may be disappointed with this product. Doesn't feel like it can really hold 200lbs let alone the max (250lbs) and its not big enough. You can still get a little workout in but not nearly as much as a more expensive heavy duty one. Piecing it together isn't bad but can get annoying. Not recommended for people with larger feet. I have a size 13 and my feet don't fit under the pads. Would only buy if you are a smaller, lighter person looking for a decent warmup. May 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by crumstar Worth the money!! I have some back issues and this is just what I needed to help stretch me out, and was a great addition to my home gym equipment. Great buy!! March 12, 2013

Introducing LifeBot
Trinity Health will have secured a significant spot on the technology map by the end of this week with their introduction of a receiving unit known as a LifeBot in their emergency trauma center. Trinity Health is the first rural healthcare provider in the country to pilot this system that will inevitably redefine the new area of telemedicine.
Tuesday afternoon, a LifeBot receiving unit was installed at Trinity Health by Roger Heath, creator of LifeBot, and his team. It should be in full operation by the end of this week. Not only will the ambulances in Minot be outfitted with LifeBot units, but the New Town ambulance will be outfitted with one as well.
The LifeBot receiving unit is somewhat similar to Mission Control operated by NASA, except it's for emergency care instead of for space exploration. LifeBot gives physicians at Trinity the ability to perform long-distance triage through two-way audiovisual communication, along with direct transmission of a patient's vital signs, ultrasound and other images. Barcode scanning of a patient's driver's license is also used with LifeBot to bring up demographic and patient record information.
Dr. Jeffrey Sather, M.D., FACEP, Chairman of the Department of Medicine and Medical Director of the Emergency Trauma Center at Trinity Health, said the goal of using the LifeBot project will explore the health benefits to patients being transported. Another goal, he added, will be to investigate the potential for cost savings as a result of not having to transport select patients who can be treated at the scene.
Training for the LifeBot receiving unit will be a continuous process, Heath said. There will be a phase-in of the features and specific things will be added as they go, he said. Physicians from Trinity and New Town will be trained in using the unit. The initial training will be technical on how to see and care for the patient from the ambulance, Sather noted, as well as learning how to treat the patient without actually having the patient in front of them. "I see us training paramedics on how to use this. It's beyond what we've done before," he added. All of the information that the paramedic would see is conveyed on the screen seen by the physician back in the emergency room, Heath also noted.
As an example, Sather said there could be a person calling from their home who is experiencing nausea or vomiting, and the physician can use this LifeBot system and the person might not have to leave their home. It saves in ambulance transport and emergency room care, he said.
The initial cost of the LifeBot receiving unit could possibly be a challenge, Heath said, but felt it will become less of a problem soon since there is so much cost-saving in telemedicine. Technology and training are being streamlined, he added. LifeBot receiving units can be shipped out in bulk and immediately and can be anywhere a physician is needed, Heath said.
"It's a robot to keep you alive," he remarked. "I envision this tool to help accelerate quality of care."
Sather said Trinity has about $50,000 invested for each ambulance to have a LifeBot unit. The unit can save many miles on the vehicle if they don't have to transport the patient, he noted, which saves time for everyone and cost for vehicle maintenance.
Heath invented the LifeBot a few years ago. The federal government invested about $36 million into the project because it was needed for the battlefield, he noted. The LifeBot unit operates on multiple modems with multiple carriers so it will never lose signal, Heath said, and it's so automated that the physician can fully focus on the patient.
When thinking up the idea for the LifeBot, Heath said he thought about what he would want if he was in the situation of falling ill in his house and not able to help himself. He thought of the idea of a robot keeping someone alive, he added. The next step for LifeBot will be to take the system into smaller mobile devices, like smartphones, Heath continued. As an aside, Heath is also credited as one of the inventors of the automated external defibrillator.
Before the arrival of the LifeBot unit, the primary problem with telemedicine was that it gave a picture but didn't give a picture of the patient's insides, Heath said. It's an important differentiation, he noted, because a person can look perfectly fine on the outside, but have a major problem internally. The LifeBot system gives all of the internal information, Heath added.
The LifeBot unit will vastly improve the time a person spends in the emergency room and the care they'll receive while there. It will be an accelerator of care because there will be enough information provided for adequate care, Heath said. The LifeBot might also alter where a patient goes and determine which surgeon is needed, he said. "They (the staff) will know what's coming in the door before (the patient) gets there."
While Trinity Health is the first to receive the LifeBot system, other places have been asking for it, Heath noted. The University of California-Davis has asked for it and the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has set aside money for the system, he said. Additionally, physicians in Saudi Arabia have also asked for it, thinking it would be useful to have during the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, Heath added. "It's a process," he noted, of getting the system. "It doesn't happen in a day. It takes a lot of patience and persistence, but doesn't get much more exciting."

Skip to comments.Whats The Worst Case Scenario For Obamacare?
Posted on 10/16/2013 1:16:16 PM PDT by 11th_VA
Consider for a moment what will come next for Obamacare, in the context of Ezra Kleins five thoughts on the disastrous launch of the program a bellwether of sorts for obamacare-logo_fullhow the administration failed to live up to the expectations it sold to the laws supporters and opinion leaders.
There are a few different directions it can go from here, but the worst case scenario hasnt really entered peoples consciences yet, in part because the insurers are staying quiet at the moment. The reality now is that the system is at least a month from actually working, and likelier two or (gasp) three, given the enormous range of problems. And that could make for a real disaster.
As it stands today, at most nine of the state exchanges are working but while some systems are being announced as fixed on the state level, fixed in this case means the ability to look at plans, not to actually enroll. And the fundamental breakdown for the federal exchange hangs on a decision designed to insulate people from the true cost of plans an approach which is now backfiring given the load it places on the website. The whole storyline is marked by a disturbing failure of basic technocracy: according to the New York Times, as late as the last week of September, HHS officials were still debating aspects of the site, including that requirement making customers register before shopping for insurance.
Democrats are scrambling for excuses: there wasnt enough money or time. The decision to delay controversial regulations til after the 2012 election slowed the process. The Republican governors ruined efforts by opting not to implement exchanges. The suggestion that cronyism played a role in the contractor process is already being advanced. But cronyism or no, the decision of those at CMS/HHS to take the lead in organizing the program despite an enormous absence of institutional experience may be the real source of the problem. Megan McArdle outlines the reality:
"Im a longtime critic of federal contracting rules, which prevent some corruption at ruinous expense in money, quality and speed. But federal contracting rules are not what made the administration delay writing the rules and specifications necessary to build the system until 2013. Nor to delay the deadline for states to declare whether theyd be building an exchange, in the desperate hope that a few more governors might decide in February 2013! to build a state system after all. Any state that decided to start such a project at that late date would have had little hope of building anything that worked, but presumably angry voters would be calling the governor instead of HHS. Federal contracting codes, so far as I am aware, do not emit intoxicating gases that might have caused senior HHS officials to decide that it was a good idea to take on the role of lead contractor a decision equivalent to someone who has never even hung a picture deciding that they should become their own general contractor and build a house. Nor can those rules explain their lunatic response when they were told that the system was not working failure was not an option.
But whether these excuses work with the public or not, the worst case scenario for Obamacare is now entering the realm of possibility: what if it just doesnt work, and continues not to work, a month from now? The deadlines for achieving coverage are approaching fast. The political reality is that its impossible to legally require people to sign up for something when the system just wont let them. If a month from now we are still seeing a fail rate of significance within these systems, where people trying to enroll are turned away as often (or more often!) than they get through, the pressure from non-partisan actors is going to explode for a delay of major aspects of the law. It will be a murmur at first, but if it continues to grow, there will have to be a Congressional response.
One factor to consider here is that the consultants involved for the federal and state exchanges have a good deal of overlap. It would be one thing if it were just a few states having issues they could prioritize the major states over the minor ones but the fact that the problems are worst for the federal exchange means none of the states are going to get significant attention until thats taken care of. This could mean smaller states get attention last, leaving their citizens incapable of purchasing the coverage theyre legally required to get. The potential for legal challenges coming out of this is massive if the mandate/penalty is not delayed. But to solve the practical problem requires steps beyond just the individual mandate delay or extending open enrollment for the entire year were talking about actually taking the exchanges offline (insurers would presumably honor the handful of plans already sold through them) in order to fix them. That process could take months of work and millions more in taxpayer dollars and set us up to do this whole thing again in October of 2014.
So whats the worst case scenario? Honestly, its this: if this is as big of a failure as it looks like at the moment, and the problems are not fixed within the next two months, the Obamacare project could end up backfiring in a way that could have dramatic effects on politics and policy going forward. It will contribute to distrust in governments basic capability. It will fail to live up to its promise, and wreck the insurance markets for no good purpose. It will represent the administration betraying its strongest supporters. And it may ultimately leave President Obama wishing John Roberts had ruled the other way turning him into a martyr for the cause as opposed to putting the burden of proof on actually implementing his signature policy.
It imposes a 29 1/2 hour work week, what do you think that will do to America?
Come late December, Obama could be asking for a 1 year delay in the 'Individual Mandate'. The GOP shud say, "let's negotiate - what else are you offering ..." LOL !!!!
The worse case scenario?
Give it 6 months and you will be soaking in it, Madge.
Divorced parents will be sunk first.
Existing child support orders are 25 to 50 % of net income (if they are behaving)
The extra load will put them under n droves.
Where do you even start?
turning him into a martyr for the cause
The day he becomes a detriment to the party
he WILL be martyred, communists are like that.
It destroys the American economy.....
There is no downside - it is all sweetness, good intentions and "healthcare for all."
Problems will be minimized or not mentioned at all. Instead, the media will talk about nasty Ted Cruz, or twerking.
We all die...................
Everyone, collectivist and conservative, is looking to the government to fix this.
That is wrong thinking. There are no wise people in government.
Real thinking people outside of the beltway need to come up with solutions to this mess, and just do it without government.
The only thing worse than this crap legislation not working is this crap legislation working. Americans will be better off if this idiotic administration never makes it work.
ObamaCare guideS watching porn spread virus shutting down ObamaCare,HHS, insurance companies....
Fool. Doesn't he know the press will spin this as the Republicans' fault?
Some things like our food supply, our economy, religion, and health care are too important to trust government with.
Always said...best thing that could have happened to Barry would be if SCOTUS had struck it down. He could have then just walked away, told his supporters "I tried!" and blamed it all on John Roberts.
Worst case? It is implemented, destroys the economy, and what remaining power held by Congress is transferred to the Executive by all the "shall determines" in it.
"Come late December, Obama could be asking for a 1 year delay in the Individual Mandate."
He won't ask. He will just do it and nobody in Congress will stop him.
Obamacare IS the worse case scenario.
It will be the turd-worlding of America and 0bumble will have achieved his goal.
Cats and dogs living together...pretty much all the worst parts from the Bible.
Single payer only happens if a convincing argument can be made that the private sector/corporatist option failed.
Healthcare.gov is simply collapsing too fast to pin the blame on the healthcare industry. Obama and the Dems OWN it. Come next year they're going to be begging for the very delay the Republicans lost trying to bring about.
First of all, it's not a healthcare bill. It's an insurance program.
When all of these people get insurance, where do you think they are going to go for care? There are no doctors. And they will be camping out at the Community Hospital ERs. They will not pay their co pays or deductibles. Hospitals will have to eat that.
Community hospitals will shut down because of increased cost and less income.
That's just the medical side.
Let me modify that. They won't beg for any delay, they'll simply change the law to suit them and delay it themselves.
There's a good purpose for wrecking private insurance markets? Really?
Make no mistake, the congressional "fix" will be single payer.
This was all planned.
As MANDATORY, 0bamacare website will register MILLIONS of illegal-aliens-turned-U.S.-citizens to the DEMOCRAT party.
The devil has a keen wit by getting a protected negro to do the enslaving.
Do nothing.
Refuse to negotiate.
After the names good people have been called by Obama.
After Reid's insults to the other party.
After the libel against the Tea Party.
After the disrespect shown to military families.
After the disrespect leveled at veterans.
After the accusations against the Catholics and their church.....
and on and on
I would not lift a finger to save the dirty democrat progressive socialists that have brought this to the people. Nothing.
I don't believe HE will do anything. He is incapable of making a decision and will continue to fiddle in denial while healthcare burns.
I'll bet a bottle of good liquor (your/my choice) that the exchanges will still not be working March 31, 2014. I've seen software project meltdowns before, and this one is a doozie! They are going to have to trash the whole thing and redesign/rewrite from scratch.
In general, I still prefer free markets to government control.
"will still not be working March 31, 2014. I've seen software project meltdowns before, and this one is a doozie! They are going to have to trash the whole thing and redesign/rewrite from scratch. "
And are you certain this can't be written from scratch in that time?
Well, sure. And they prefer artificial "forced" markets above all.
And let's be honest here, we have no "free market" for health CARE at all - and that would be quite difficult to create/maintain. And really, that's the crux of the cost issue.
What happens if you refuse to go along?
The IRS dings you and not only do you owe the government money, but you don't have any healthcare coverage. Cute system.
I'm no computer expert, but there's not enough bandwidth to handle anything close to routine traffic.
The worst case scenario of O-Care is exactly what Obama would like to see happening.
Mission accomplished — another nail in the US coffin.
You gotta be an industrial strength optimist-—March 31 is half a year away!!. If it lasts anywhere near that long I'll bring a bottle over and we'll share it while it eats itself the rest of the way. I don't see needing more than one bottle when this hermaphrodite starts eating its own skin-—it just won't take long.
One party rule is here.
Did you accidentally comment on the wrong thread? No indication that insufficient bandwidth has anything to do with the website failures. However, they'd love for that to be the case since it would be so easy to fix.
Why should he ask? He didn't ask for the employer mandate delay. His Imperial Majesty King Stompyfoot the Bamster will simply issue a decree.
Other than your death?
Boycott the lamestream media. Cancel your Comcast/NBC cable subscription. And avoid businesses that employ 'ill eagles'.
Even if the web site gets fixed, enrollment will be dismal especially among the younger generation. Given low enrollment due to the high cost and questionable access to the promised subsidies coupled with the likely repeal of some of the new taxes funding Obamacare, the system will go broke in a year and even more people will be without health insurance. The Democrats fix will be to pass a single payer socialized medicine plan of course exempting Congress and government officials who will enjoy a Cadillac plan unavailable to the peons.
Simple question. No one signs up.

Security Measures for Online Banking
What You Can Do to Protect Yourself Online
At Mechanics Bank, we have the most up-to-date Internet security measures in place to guard your privacy. By taking the precautionary steps listed below, you can further improve the chances that your private information will stay out of the hands of Internet thieves and online con artists.
1) Install anti-virus software.Once you have it installed, keep it up to date so you'll be protected against the latest viruses.
2) Use a firewall.Firewall software can allow your computer to refuse undesired or suspicious connections and filter potential hackers.
3) Utilize antispyware.This can prevent your activities from being monitored and keep you from being directed to sites without your permission.
4) Be on guard for unsolicited "phishing" emails."Phishing" usually takes the form of authentic-looking emails that try to get you to reveal private information such as your Social Security Number or account number. These emails will often warn of a problem with your account and then provide a link to a legitimate-looking company website where you're directed to enter your personal data—which is then used by thieves to steal your identity. Don't reply to these messages; open any of their attachments or click on their links. If you believe such an email message is legitimate, open a new browser window and contact the company using a URL you know to be valid.
Remember: Mechanics Bank will never ask for personal, account or password information in an email.If you ever receive such a request, forward the email requesting such information to firstname.lastname@example.com.
5) Confirm websites' security.Be on guard for a practice that results in the redirection of the web page you are visiting to a look-alike website (a process known as "pharming"). Whenever the Mechanics Bank site displays your account information or allows you to access information or make changes, we use Secured Socket Layer (SSL) technology, which verifies the server. These Web pages addresses always start with "https://" instead of "http://". If you have been directed to a site that asks for or displays personal information, make sure the URL begins with "https://" and mouse-over the padlock image to ensure SSL is in place.
6) Be savvy when selecting passwords.Avoid predictable passwords such as personal or family information. Include both letters and numbers in your password. Use different passwords for different accounts and change them regularly.
7) Exercise caution when using public computers or those on shared networks.Computers at libraries, schools, Internet cafés and even home networks might harbor software that monitors your activity. Limit your access to Online Banking account from a public wireless Internet connection.
8) If you use wireless network at home, make sure it's secured against intruders and monitoring by following the manufacturer's security instructions.
9) Take care when answering Online Banking's security questions.When selecting answers to the security questions we use to verify your identity, use caution not to supply answers about you that are readily available or commonly known.
10) Open mail from Mechanics Bank promptly.Account activity and security information we send you by mail should be reviewed in a timely manner to ensure all is correct.
11) Keep software up to date.Older software is more vulnerable to hackers.
12) Close your browser after using Online Banking.Some of your account information may stay in your browser's memory—and accessible to others--until the browser is closed.
13) Review your credit report regularly.Check your credit reports twice a year to monitor for unauthorized activity.

My mom and I talked frequently, but we didn't get to visit often, with my crazy work schedule and other activities. Whenever I talked to her, it seemed like she complained. And whenever she came over, it seemed she managed to make me feel inadequate.
Yet she was always there for me.
When my husband and I were having serious marital problems, she was there to listen and even wrangled her way into my trip to Europe last fall. It was supposed to be my healing trip -- my getting away from everything that had torn me apart. She was worried about me going alone. "I suppose you want to go and protect me?" I joked. She said yes. There was no going back on that invite.
Getting her passport was a nightmare. We had to get census records and her high school transcripts. It was there that I saw she had quit school in 10th grade -- not quite the story she gave me about leaving her senior year. I was angry. But I didn't say a word. It had been years ago, I decided, and I was determined not to dredge up the past.
We had two fabulous weeks in Europe. She tried to talk to everyone who could understand English. For her, this was the trip of her life.
It came just in time.
Three weeks after we came back home, she got sick and went to the hospital. Hurricane Sandy was battering our area with high winds and terrible rain. I made it to the hospital to see her, and all she could do was worry about her car in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart, where she worked as a greeter. She loved her job and loved seeing all the people. I called my girlfriend and got her car home, then I went back to the hospital.

Yah-hoo-oo! Yahoo Beats the Street, Shares Rise
Yahooes jumped in late trading after the company's earnings came in far higher than the Street expected, but have been bouncing around on heavy volume as investors dig through the guts of report.
Shares were up 5% in late trading, then less than 2%, and now are up 4.5% at $21.22.
The company earned $272.3 million, or 23 cents a share, down from $295.6 million, or 24 cents, a year ago. Adjusted earnings, excluding costs associated with closing the Korea business, was 32 cents a share, far higher than the Street's 27 cents projection. Revenue was $1.35 billion, up from $1.32 billion a year ago.
This was the company's first full quarter under new CEO Marissa Mayer, who brought star power with her from Google. But Yahoo has myriad challenges, as some of the details of the report make clear. The ultimate test for Mayer won't be an earnings report necessarily, but whether she can envision and execute on a plan to revive a company whose glory faded in the dot-com days.
The company's GAAP income from operations was down 22% to $190 million, from $242 million a year ago. Revenue from display ads, Yahoo's single largest source of revenue, fell 3% from a year ago, to $591 million from $612 million. The number of ads sold on "core" Yahoo properties fell 10% from a year ago, albeit the price-per-ad did rise 7%.
Revenue excluding traffic acquisition costs was $1.22 billion, up 4% from a year ago.
For the year, the company earned $3.28 a share, compared to 82 cents a year ago. But that amount includes a gain of $2.76 billion, or $2.29 a share, from the Alibaba sale.
The company also repurchased 80 million shares in the quarter, worth $1.5 billion.
Yahoo's hosting a conference call at 5 p.m. ET.

Whether you're planning in advance or looking for the proper tribute for a loved one, here you will find suggested readings for numerous occasions and in a variety of forms and styles. A memorial reading can be chosen because it was a favorite, triggers memories of the deceased, pays tribute or helps family and friends communicate emotions.
Scripture, Poetry or Quotations
A religious person may prefer a reading from scriptures. A non-religious person may want an excerpt from a novel, film or philosophical teaching. And since poetry is often able to express difficult emotions, there are dozens of poems that are appropriate to use – even by people who normally do not have an interest in poetry. We also suggest quotes that can be used to make a program or memorial card even more meaningful.
Our suggestions include funeral readings appropriate for particular circumstances, such as:
- Death of a parent, spouse or child
- Unexpected death and suicide
- Death following a long illness
- African American funerals
- American Indian funerals
- Military funerals
Get Ideas for Original Compositions
You may also consider customizing a service with an original story or poem. In the past, royalty and the upper classes often had poems written to honor their memory or that of a loved one. Either way, browsing these selections will offer many ideas for an appropriate reading.

Poetry Readings
Scripture Readings
Secular Readings
