Our neighbour Ang never stops working and at the moment hasa deal going with monkey nuts. She buys a big sack and then roasts them in a dry, sand filled, wok. Bags them into smaller packets and seels them on at the market and door to door. She buys the sack for about 3GBP, works all day sat in front of her wok, then sells them on for about 6GBP the next day. They do taste good though, especiialy when still warm, and they go great with my evening beer. Keep up the good work.

"Thinking Inside The Box"
very interesting oldtimer, thanks.
journaling the growth of a treatment free apiary started in 2010. 20+/- hives
Just because property owners think the bees have been there 'forever', doesn't make it so, as we discovered.
How long feral colonies survive here has also intrigued me.
I've been tracking, mapping, and mining feral colonies that I've found catching swarms, making sure to check them every couple of months for activity.
Lost 1 out of 1 collonies I found from two years ago, 3 out of 5 from last year, and 3 out of 9 from this year.
Worried homeowners are a bigger problem here than the mites though, for instance a couple of weeks ago I went by to look at a thriving colony that I've caught 4 swarms from in the last 2 years only to find the whole tree completely gone.

Anyone would think the World Cup is over. The All Whites may have gone but we're only half-way through.
The deadwood has gone (Italy, France) and sadly a couple of the better nations are also flying home (New Zealand, Australia).
Here's your must-read, comprehensive, cliche-riddled guide to what's going to happen.
Uruguay v South Korea: Latin flair meets Asian industry. Diego Forlan will score a stunner in a tight match. 1-0 to Uruguay.
USA v Ghana: The soccerball players will fumble at the 20-yard line allowing the only Africans left in the competition to take the lead. However, wild African defending and a spirited fightback will take it to extra-time where the Yanks will nick it. 2-1 USA.
Germany v England: The hottest tie of the second round will see these old friends resume relations. England out on penalties? Not this time. England will finally play the football they're capable of after two woeful performances and one average game. Germany have already produced their best. 2-0 England.
Argentina v Mexico: Don't miss this one. Two sendings off and a missed penalty as the hot-headed south and central Americans go hell for leather. Messi will get his first goal of the World Cup as the Argies prove too strong. 3-1 Argentina.
Netherlands v Slovakia: Sleep deprived because of too much football? This is the one to miss. Straightforward. 3-0 Netherlands.
Paraguay v Japan: The evil Paraguayans who cruelly dumped New Zealand from the tournament will suffer here as our Japanese friends show solidarity with the Kiwis. Sweet irony as a Paraguayan gets sent off for elbowing. 2-1 Japan.
Brazil v Chile: Chile have already proven to be a surprise package and will surprise people even more in this one. Two great footballing teams, this will become an instant World Cup classic. But the end result won't be a surprise. 4-2 Brazil.
Spain v Portugal: A spiteful game of kicking, shirt-tugging, diving and histrionics, this will be irritating but compelling watching. 2-2. Spain win on penalties.

Devendra Banhart is a musician/artist involved in the freak-folk scene. His music is considered by many people in the indie community to be the most original sound to come along in a while. His vocal range is extradordinarily diverse and he utilizes it as an instrument moreso than his guitar at times. Although initially difficult to understand his sound, once you listen to an album, you're hooked. Amazing sound and seemingly an amazing person as well.
indiekid: oh man you have to hear devendra banhart, he is so awesome.

Sun, 18 Nov 2007 09:27:01 -0500
Anita wrote
When do you require residuals to be clustered in
regressions? How do you go about doing it in Stata?
For example I run pooled OLS for biateral country-pair
regression. Should I suspect residuals for i and j may
be correlated..Or is it routine to assume such
correlation in pooled estimations?
The notion of cluster-robust standard errors is to allow each cluster to have its own error variance, and within each cluster, the assumption of independence of errors is relaxed. It would be very sensibly applied to bilateral country-pair data if pooled OLS is encountered.
However, with this sort of data (with which I have worked extensively) you are making an assumption, in pooled OLS, that there is no unobserved heterogeneity. If there are common elements to a country-pair that might influence their errors over time, it is also sensible that there might be a 'special relationship' between country- pairs that might cause their relationship to differ from other country-pairs. In other words fixed effects by country-pair might be very sensible. If you create a country-pair indicator variable and - xtreg, fe-, and the F-test at the foot of the model rejects its null, it is saying that the pooled OLS model is delivering inconsistent point estimates. This problem cannot be rectified by adjusting the standard errors.

Just as 'Pagodes' was his first Oriental piece, so 'La soirée dans Grenade' was the first of Debussy's evocations of Spain—that preternatural embodiment of an 'imaginary Andalusia' which would inspire Manuel de Falla, the native Spaniard, to go back to his country and create a true modern Spanish music based on Debussyan principles. Debussy's personal acquaintance with Spain was virtually non-existent (he had spent a day just over the border at San Sebastian) and it is possible that one model for the piece was Ravel's Habanera. Yet he wrote of this piece (to his friend Pierre Louÿs, to whom it was dedicated), 'if this isn't the music they play in Granada, so much the worse for Granada!'—and there is no debate about the absolute authenticity of Debussy's use of Spanish idioms here. Falla himself pronounced it 'characteristically Spanish in every detail'. 'La soirée dans Grenade' is founded on an ostinato that echoes the rhythm of the habanera and is present almost throughout. Beginning and ending in almost complete silence, this dark nocturne of warm summer nights builds powerfully to its climaxes. The melodic material ranges from a doleful Moorish chant with a distinctly oriental character to a stamping, vivacious dance-measure, taking in brief suggestions of guitar strumming and perfumed Impressionist haze. There is even a hint of castanets near the end. The piece fades out in a coda that seems to distil all the melancholy of the Moorish theme and a last few distant chords of the guitar.
'Jardins sous la pluie' is based on the children's song 'Nous n'rons plus au bois' (We shan't go to the woods): its original 1894 form was in fact entitled Quelques aspects de 'Nous n'rons plus au bois'. The two versions are really two distinct treatments of the same set of ideas, but in 'Jardins sous la pluie' Estampes the earlier piece has been entirely rethought. The whole conception is more impressionistic, and subtilized. The teeming semiquaver motion is more all-pervasive, the tunes (for Debussy has added a second children's song for treatment, 'Do, do, l'enfant do') more elusive and tinged sometimes with melancholy or nostalgia. The ending of the piece is entirely new. What it loses, perhaps, in child-like brashness the music gains in poetry and technical focus.

George Powers
Former Police Chief George Powers dies June 11
By Douglas Sonego
Captain, UTSA Police Department
(June 12, 2008)--Former UTSA Police Chief George Powers lost his battle with cancer Wednesday morning, June 11. He was 61 years old.
Powers served as the UTSA Police Department's assistant chief under Chief Ronald Seacrist from April 1998 until Seacrist's departure. In June 1999, Powers became the third UTSA chief of police and served for six years until May 2005.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus
- USA Today: UTSA long jumper Tyler Williamson rescues three-year-old boy
Article tools
Powers served in the Houston Police Department for 22 years, retiring as a sergeant. Years after leaving the Houston Police Department, he moved to San Antonio where he was loss prevention manager at Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corp. (now Valero) for eight years before coming to UTSA.
Under Powers, there was significant growth in the UTSA Police Department with a nearly 40-percent increase in the number of officers. He helped establish the Office of Emergency Preparedness, now the Office of Business Continuity and Emergency Management. He also founded the UTSA honor guard and established the criminal background check process for new hires.
Powers was responsible for developing the department's first Web site and creating the Special Threat Operations Plan after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. What cannot be measured is the increase in morale and professionalism within the UTSA Police Department because of the high standards Powers set and because employees respected and cared greatly for him. Powers cared deeply about UTSA employees and often took extra time to listen to their concerns.
It became a tradition for Santa Powers to make an appearance at the Vice President for Business Affairs Holiday Party. Santa Powers would entertain those waiting in line for food by giving out candy canes and bellowing out, "Ho, ho, ho!" More importantly, Santa Powers would visit local children's hospitals to hand out presents to those too sick or injured to spend the holidays at home and children whose parents couldn't afford gifts.
Powers will be missed by everyone who knew and were touched by him, and most of all by the men and women of the UTSA Police Department who were proud to call him chief.
Powers is survived by his wife Jackie, sons Jeffrey and Brian, stepson Bobby and stepdaughter Cheryl.
A memorial service is 3 p.m., Saturday, June 14 at Porter Loring Mortuary North, 2102 North Loop 1604 East at Gold Canyon. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society or the San Antonio Police Department's Blue Santa program. For more information, call (210) 495-8221.

Discussion in 'The Coffee Shop ~ Chit Chat' started by Jamm3r, Jan 17, 2013.
Today I want to ride around in an El Camino and listen to 8 track tapes.
They did bring it back. It's called the HSV Maloo. HSV stands for Holden Special Vehicles and it's the performance division of GM Holden Ltd in Australia.
Here's the HSV Maloo R8:
Feel free to import one from Aussieland if you want one badly enough. You're also welcome to put an 8-track player in it if you insist on 8-tracks.
kool..never knew sycuh existed....thanks SurrealOne ,,,Brian
I too would love to see one back here in the US...
I never much liked El Caminos ... but I'd definitely drive a Maloo.
I will even take the non HSV version. as long as it has a LS based engine under the bonnet lol. I always looked forward to my Australia port visits so I could drool over all the "forbidden fruit" we cant get here stateside. lol
Haha, unfortunately having been in a "real" El Camino the way us old folks remember them, that holden is butt ugly.....
My grandfather and uncle worked for GM in Michigan at Fisher body and I learned how to drive at 15 years old with a permit in 18 inches of snow in a "real" El Camino.
I learned allot really quick.... That holden looks more like a large version of that Isuzu or something that I cannot place the name of which I would not be caught dead in.
And for some odd reason, I don't think the engine in that Maloo is going to have the same grumble and power when idleing or pressing the gas as the big block carbed v8 did in a "real" El Camino...
There is a joke in the gaming community: "But can it play Crysis" or "But can it play Crysis 2?" (Crysis is a computer game that will put your computer to the test to play at the best quality settings).
So my next question here is, The "real" El Camino can carry a 4ft x 8ft sheet of plywood in its bed, Can the Maloo do the same?
An educated guess from the looks of it is "No" so it is basically a small show off car..... not much utility value at all.
Here is information on the Z Series Special Edition (They offer a 6.0L V8:
– SS – 6.0 litre Generation IV Alloy V8 engine and 6-speed manual transmission
– Optional 6.0 litre Generation IV Alloy V8 engine with Active Fuel Management (AFM) and 6-speed automatic transmission
– Bio-ethanol compatibility+
– Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
– 6 Airbags
– Touch-screen Holden-iQ System‡
– Dual-zone climate control
– Satellite Navigation with full colour mapping and live traffic updates
– Enhanced Bluetooth®
– USB/Auxiliary input for compatible iPod® and MP3 devices
– Rear view camera with Rear Park Assist
– Embroidered SS leather appointed sport seats
– Sports profile leather wrap steering wheel with illuminated controls
Sedan, Sportwagon & Ute
– 19"
So maybe it will be comparable to an old school EL Camino
@nakranij, the HSV Maloo is a hopped up performance vehicle -- not made for work. The donor model from which it is derived is called the Commodore UTE. The donor can supposedly take full sheets of plywood -- something many of the modern stateside trucks can't do with their 5.5' long beds. In that context the Maloo is still comparable, by the way, since it's unfair to hold it to standards that 'country Cadillacs' with 5.5' beds can't meet.
But still, if you want one for work you buy the base, S, or SS model of the UTE. I seem to recall that only the SS UTE has a V8 in it; the others have a V6.
I dated a girl that had an El Camino. Her father and her completely restored the body and interior. They dropped a 350 in it. That thing was quick. I would love to have one. I do not see very many around anymore. I guess that the salt got to them all.
I know up where i live a friend of mine owns 2 El Caminos, one a 1969 the other a 1983. But the 83 just has the **** brown color that i just think should be a different color, with a 305 in it and true dual exhaust with 2 12 inch glass packs i think. Also that euro elcamino just does not look right. I think the only el caminos there are are the old american ones.
Separate names with a comma.

And if you don't have a pantry stocked with a few items (soy sauce, olive oil, garlic, lime), it'll run you only another $10. Start by boiling water for rice noodles. Rinse, pat dry, and skin the salmon, and (wait for it...) save the skin. We're throwing away very little for this meal. Cut the salmon fillet into two equal pieces, and set them aside, covered with a paper towel. Boil the rice noodles for only three minutes, then rinse them thoroughly in cold water to stop the cooking. Drain, and divide two portions into deep bowls. Wash the scallions, basil, mint, and bok choy well (they can be sandy), and pat them dry. Trim the cabbage leaves from the white parts and leave them whole, but chop the rest of the greenery thinly.
In a small pot or high-walled sauté pan, sauté the fish skin in some olive oil over medium heat. Add soy sauce, black pepper, the bok choy remains, the root ends of the scallion, stems from the basil, loose cloves of garlic, a few things to just add a little flavor. Don't fret when this mess starts to form a brown crust at the bottom of the pan; that is where the magic happens. When the veggie parts start to wilt and turn translucent, pour in a half-cup of wine and begin scraping the bottom of the pan with a spatula. The wine liberates all this flavor, and a broth is brewing. Once the goods have been scraped up, pour the liquid from the can of mushrooms in, add a cup of water, and reseason. Simmer while preparing the salad, strain with a colander, and then return to the rinsed-out pot. This should yield about two cups of broth. Right before serving, add the mushrooms and cabbage to the broth, just to heat them through. Place the salmon fillet on top of the noodles, pour the broth and veggies around it, and garnish with the chopped cabbage and herbs.
The salad of watercress, shaved jicama, and sliced tangerine sections is simple, colorful, and full of textures and flavors. A small drizzle of olive oil, a squeeze of lime from a stray one in the fridge, and a pinch of salt and pepper are all this salad needs.

Emily Nordling, current MAPHer and spec fic writer, wrote the following post for Tor.com (for full post, click on the link below):
Ursula Le Guin and Molly Gloss were two of the keynote speakers at last week's conference for the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference. I'd never been to the conference before, but I couldn't help but be surprised; there is a fairly common—and justified—defensiveness among SFF readers and writers when it comes to the mainstream literary world, whether due to its cooption of writers like Kurt Vonnegut and Angela Carter, or to its perpetuation of the high art/low art divide.

Yorkville was once a well-frayed hippie haven in the '60s and early '70s (Joni Mitchell often performed in local coffeehouses). Now the city's premier upscale shopping neighborhood is a platinum card's paradise of designer boutiques and blue-chip art galleries. Chase your materialistic visit with a more high-minded trot through the University of Toronto's leafy coils.
Start at the corner of Yorkville and Hazelton Avenues, where presides the brand-new (1) Hazelton Hotel (118 Yorkville Avenue; www.hazeltonhotel.com), the city's grandest luxury pile courtesy of local interior design darlings George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg. Walk a few steps north on Hazelton until the (2) Mira Godard Gallery (22 Hazleton Avenue; www.godardgallery.com)—one of Canada's largest commercial art galleries, home to the work of such foremost Canadian artists as Edward Burtynsky, Jean-Paul Riopelle, and Alex Colville. Keep walking straight until Scollard Avenue, a posh lane lined with art galleries: visit the luminous (3) Drabinsky Gallery (122 Scollard Street; www.drabinskygallery.com), which recently hosted the world premiere of Leonard Cohen's works on paper.
Walk back toward Yorkville Avenue, heading south down Old York Lane: a narrow pathway glutted with fancy boutiques. Check out gemmy boutique (4) Augustina (Five Old York Lane; www.augustinaboutiques.com), a carefully curated jewel-box boutique, abounding with designer cashmere, shoes, and handbags du jour. Keep walking toward Cumberland Avenue, hang a right, then a left at Avenue Road. Walk south until you hit the corner of Bloor Street and Avenue Road. Continue south toward the newly renovated (5) Gardiner Museum (111 Queen's Park; www.gardinermuseum.on.ca/). Then walk back to Bloor Street, head west, and behold Daniel Libeskind's provocative new addition to the (6) ROM (100 Queen's Park; www.rom.on.ca)—a collection of sharp-edged glassy pyramids that looks like the diamond knuckle-duster of a giantess. Tuck into the newly opened restaurant c5—arguably the most glamorous reservation in town—for lunch or a cocktail.
Keep walking west along Bloor Street to the (7) Royal Conservatory of Music (273 Bloor Street) and turn left into (8) Philosopher's Walk, a picturesque, leafy footpath in the University of Toronto's downtown campus where scholars read Puffin classics under ancient trees. The hidden byway curls its way past (9) Trinity College's (Six Hoskin Avenue) stone-and-ivy stateliness. Musicians practicing in the nearby Conservatory and U of T's Faculty of Music provide a classical soundtrack. Reach Hoskin Avenue and cross the street south, walking along Tower Road toward (10) Hart House (Seven Hart House Circle)—the grand 1919 building is a creaking manse of stained glass, timbered ceilings, and stone corbels; its famous theater has seen performances from (and launched the careers of) such Canadian luminaries as Donald Sutherland, William Hurt, Norman Jewison, and Lorne Michaels. Wander around creaking halls and into (11) The Gallery Grill for a nibble or a tea: The terrifically civilized (and well-hidden) restaurant is located in a clerestory and features vaulted ceilings, hand-painted stained-glass windows, and views into Hart House's Great Hall. Walk along Hart House Circle past (12) University College—U of T's architectural centerpiece and among the country's historic treasures. Loll about on the lawn at (13) King's Circle.

Redwire Captures Inaugural CSAA Five Diamond Marketing MARVEL Award
The Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) and SECURITY SALES & INTEGRATION named Redwire of Tallahassee, Fla., as the first annual Five Diamond Marketing MARVEL Award winner.
June 25, 2012
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Central Station Alarm Association (CSAA) and SECURITY SALES & INTEGRATION named Redwire of Tallahassee, Fla., as the first annual Five Diamond Marketing MARVEL Award winner on Tuesday.
Specifically geared toward central stations that have achieved CSAA Five Diamond certification, the program honors companies that creatively use their Five Diamond status to gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. Another goal of the program is to educate all electronic security companies on best marketing practices, and to encourage CSAA companies to attain Five Diamond designation.
Redwire received the MARVEL accolade during the IceBreaker Luncheon, a SSI-sponsored event, during the 2012 Electronic Security Expo (ESX) in Nashville, Tenn.
Redwire has operated its own central station since 1978. Earlier this year, the company completed the requirements to earn the CSAA Five Diamond Certification and has made significant efforts to include the accreditation in its marketing plan. Those efforts include displaying the CSAA Five Diamond logo on its Web site and marketing materials, such as business cards, sales flyers, E-mail tags and more.
"The Five Diamond certification has been posted in local chamber member news and in the Tallahassee Democrat Business Matters section," Redwire Marketing manager Nan O'Kelly wrote in the company's award-winning application.
A complete look at Redwire's Marvel-award winning techniques will be featured in SSI's November issue.

Savannah Stone MVP for Warrior skiers
Pequot Lakes senior Savannah Stone was named the most valuable girl and Ben Thoele the most valuable boy at the Brainerd Warriors Alpine ski team's banquet Monday, March 4, at Cragun's Resort.
Stone finished second at the state alpine meet on Feb. 13, at Giants Ridge in Biwabik. It was the best state finish ever for a Warrior boys or girl skier.
Stone, who was making her fourth trip to the state alpine meet, was second behind East Ridge's Elizabeth Koprucki. Stone finished in 1:17.27.
Stone's sister, eighth-grader Alex, also competed at the state meet and finished 43rd with a time of 1:28.36.
Other awards included: Boys' most improved, which was a tie between Pequot Lakes' student Tristan Elsenpeter and Grant Kosobud; and girls' most improved: MacKenzie Dondelinger.
Girls' team captains for 2012-13 were Jaden Lindner of Pequot Lakes, Hannah Moen and Dondelinger while the boys' captains were Ben Thoele, Gabe Gibson and Cal Johnson.

When is the best time to move bees? I am moving them less then 3 feet show it shouldn't really effect them, right? Does it matter if I turn their hive 90 degrees?
When is the best time to move bees? I am moving them less then 3 feet show it shouldn't really effect them, right? Does it matter if I turn their hive 90 degrees?
If I'm moving the bees a short distance like a few feet I move them mid day/eraly afternoon when forages are out.
The only reason I do that is i don't have to lift the weight of the foragers..on a nuc or a hive with only a small population I don't wait but just move it.
Of course of you were moving them somewhere farther that the bees wouldn't find so easily, you'd screen then after dark when all the bees were in for the night either:
move them two miles or more
Put something in front of the entrance to trigger reorienting, or
Leave them in for three days or so (most of the foragers will reorient after three days).
The general rule is 2 feet or 2 miles. We turn hives all the time and they will figure it out. It is kind of comical to watch them fly in from afield and try to deduce what happened. I tend not to go 90 but do 2 45's when I have to turn a hive.
We like to move our hives at night after field workers are in or early morning if it's cool - to prevent field loss. If you move hives at night after dark expect to get stung - since they don't fly at night they will crawl all over your suit and eventually find a leak. A light at night is no help because all the guards will fly to the light and you'll just loose field workers. Normally a majority of the field workers are in by 6-7 pm and it is still light enough to avoid that issue.
OK - now all the rest of the migratory guys can laugh and point fingers at me!
Joel: Sounds like good advice to me. I usually prefer early morning over early evening. Get yourself really dark clothing for night work. If it is dark enough sometimes its better to just take off your veil. If the bees are hanging out by all means smoke them, it will get them crawling back in the hive where they belong.

Thanks for the help.


text: This season, there have been an awful lot of controversial flips and lutzes and I'm curious as to what people think a caller should look for when identifying a jump. When it comes to these two toe jumps, there are traditional entrance techniques that have become standard since the early days of the sport. For example, a three turn entrance just before picking in to a flip jump, or a long held back edge going into a lutz jump. Other skaters prefer a mohawk entrance, with a quicker entry into a flip, and a slight delay on a lutz. We saw Alena Leonova essentially doing three flips throughout the GP series, and (IMO) arbitrarily calling one of them a lutz. We saw Brian Joubert do a triple "lip" in the sp at Worlds and WTT that he simply put down as a "lutz" on his sheet. Hanyu's triple flip and lutz are indistinguishable to me. Do these techniques matter when it comes to classifying a jump, or is it simply the edge at the take-off point that defines a lutz from a flip? And if that is the case, wouldn't the "e" mark be irrelevant? In my mind, it should be clear long before the toe picks in what jump a skater is attempting. I also think that holding a back edge and having some degree of a BO edge before or during the toe pick DOES make a "flutz" more difficult than a regular flip. IMO, the setups for jumps DO matter, but I'd love to hear other opinions.

Flight from Congress over ObamaCare's massive cost hikes?
posted at 12:01 pm on June 13, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
When Congress debated ObamaCare, pressure from critics forced lawmakers to include themselves under its mandates, rather than keep their current "Cadillac plans" that they proposed to tax out of existence for everyone else. That decision will impact current members starting at the end of this year, as they have to find insurance on the ObamaCare markets just like everyone else. Now, suddenly, ObamaCare looks a lot less attractive — and some of them may retire to avoid it (via Instapundit, who notes that this is doing what the term-limits movement couldn't):
Dozens of lawmakers and aides are so afraid that their health insurance premiums will skyrocket next year thanks to Obamacare that they are thinking about retiring early or just quitting.
The fear: Government-subsidized premiums will disappear at the end of the year under a provision in the health care law that nudges aides and lawmakers onto the government health care exchanges, which could make their benefits exorbitantly expensive.
Democratic and Republican leaders are taking the issue seriously, but first they need more specifics from the Office of Personnel Management on how the new rule should take effect — a decision that Capitol Hill sources expect by fall, at the latest. The administration has clammed up in advance of a ruling, sources on both sides of the aisle said. …
The problem is far more acute in the House, where lawmakers and aides are generally younger and less wealthy. Sources said several aides have already given lawmakers notice that they'll be leaving over concerns about Obamacare. Republican and Democratic lawmakers said the chatter about retiring now, to remain on the current health care plan, is constant.
Oh, the aching irony. Remember when this was supposed to benefit all Americans? How it was supposed to make you more secure in your line of work? "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan"? Those were promised made by some of the very same people that now want to flee after having their "solution" imposed on the rest of us.
They're not the only people looking to flee, either. Doctors want out of the system in both the private and public markets. The AMA estimates that 17% of physicians are limiting Medicare patients in their practices now, and the number is expected to grow. More physicians are also bailing out of the private insurance system as well, creating direct-payment businesses that not only lower costs rather than just prices, but also allows the doctor and patient to direct therapy rather than a bean-counter in an office far away.
My column this week for The Fiscal Times picks up on CNN's report on this phenomenon, and argues that this is the true path for health-care reform:
Nunamaker and the increasing number of providers pursuing this option have to court aggressively a smaller market by competing with each other on price. Fortunately, with the mandates and reimbursement headaches removed, that becomes much easier to accomplish. Nunamaker structures his business on a membership model, where a flat monthly fee allows customers unlimited access to his clinic. For most adults, the fee is $50; senior citizens pay $100, but membership for children costs only $10 per month.
Let's say that an average family of four, with two adults and two children, sign up for this service. That would cost $1,440 a year for complete coverage of any services that can be provided within the office. The least expensive plan on eHealthInsurance.com all-plans for a family of four in Wichita costs $329 a month – and that has a $10,000 deductible. For a deductible of $1500 for the family – the same cost of the membership at Nunamaker's clinic – the price would jump to $869 per month.
What happens when a patient needs services the clinic doesn't provide? Nunamaker has created partnerships with providers at costs amounting to fractions of what insurance pays, CNN reports. A $90 cholesterol test can be purchased for … three dollars. An MRI normally would cost an insurance company $2000, but Nunamaker's patients can access one for $400.
Obviously, Nunamaker's patients need hospitalization coverage in case something significant happens. Normally, catastrophic coverage would be inexpensive, as hospital visits are relatively rare occurrences, especially for younger and healthier people. Unfortunately, Obamacare outlaws such plans in the ACA "exchanges" by making them ineligible for subsidies.
Instead, Americans buying plans on the individual market have to spend much more than they'll ever pay directly to market-based physicians like Nunamaker, essentially subsidizing the premiums of older and sicker Americans to make Obamacare politically palatable to those demographics who turn out more reliably to vote. Americans purchasing plans through employers won't have much more luck buying sensible insurance plans, either, thanks to other mandates within the ACA on employer-provided health insurance.
Doctors are fleeing ObamaCare, and some of those are showing the way to real reform. Congress is fleeing the system that they created. Why should the rest of us get stuck with it?

Stage-by-stage advice from an M&A veteran.
William F. Hederman is the executive director of the Energy Resources Group at Morgan Lewis & Bockius LLP. Contact him at email@example.com.
Stage-by-stage advice from an M&A veteran.
Few things about the energy industry today are certain, but one sure bet is that industry mergers and acquisitions will continue. This restructuring may take the form either of acquisition or merger of an entire company, or it could entail the purchase or transfer of control of a set of specific assets (perhaps with relevant staff). The odds against success are high, if not overwhelming. At least one analysis estimates that less than half of major mergers outperform the relevant industry return to shareholders. Nevertheless, these combinations continue because the potential for superior returns is clear and attractive.
Leaders in the energy business have a great deal at stake in this latest wave of restructuring. Whether part of an acquiring team or of an acquired asset or business, one's fiduciary responsibility is to find a way to succeed. Experience demonstrates that:
• Success is difficult.
• Success is possible.
• Certain measures improve the chances for success.
By taking a proactive approach to restructuring, and toward successful integration in particular, managers can enhance both the rewards to stakeholders and to their own careers.
My personal experience as the chief strategist for the major business unit of a large integrated energy company influences these observations. In the early stages of a surprise bid by another similarly sized energy company to take over our company, and with hostile barbs being exchanged at the corporate level, the CEO of our business unit decided to begin preparing for a major restructuring. We were clearly headed to a new place organizationally. This early warning gave us the luxury of more time than is typically available, yet we approached it knowing it was more than an academic exercise—it was a stroke of luck that few executive teams get.
The preparation process proved quite successful. The business unit survived largely intact, and several senior managers from our team moved to positions of greater responsibility in the newly merged corporation, at least partly on the strength of their performance during the integration phase.
Leaders should begin to prepare for this "adventure," which almost every energy professional will experience at least once.
Three Stages
There are three major stages for a corporate restructuring:
1. Pre-deal
2. Transition
3. Integra tion
Each has its own characteristics.
If you are in the energy industry, it is time to begin pre-deal initiatives. During this stage, management needs to prepare a culture ready, willing, and able to accept change and to execute changes successfully. In our case, we adopted "change management" at several levels to help leaders throughout the company learn how to help employees cope with necessary changes. At the corporate level, there was formal annual training in change management. The vision of this program was to prepare for acquiring others. In the course of this training, we realized we were likely to be on other "shopping lists" as an attractive

Sophie and Bertrand
L'appartement était très agréable, conforme à la description faite sur le site.
Endroit à recommander car situé en plein coeur de Lisbonne. Nous y retournerons avec plaisir si l'occasion se présente.
Sophie et Bertrand
This was the perfect place to house 7 weary travellers after 3 weeks of travelling in Europe. We were three adults, two grandparents and two teenage girls and there was plenty of room for everyone! Having two bathrooms in particular was very useful as was the lift in the building. The apartment is immaculate, the host very helpful as was D Ilda who let us in and was responsible for key/deposit hand over at either end of our stay. Couldn't beat if for location with easy access to two Metro stops (Rossio and Baixa) about 5 minutes walk away and with many of Lisboa's attractions and shops equally nearby. This is the place to stay of you are a large group and want to do Lisbon 'easily' and in style.
The apartment perfectly fits the description: spacious, comfortable, clean. It is located in a central area and not particularly attractive in the city (Baixa), but it is the ideal starting point to explore all the attractions in the city. The reception was friendly and prompt and we were kindly allowed to agree on the time of check-out based on our needs (we had the return flight late at night). In short, a very positive experience. For groups or families of 5/6 people and this is an excellent choice for an apartment that I would recommend!
L'appartamento corrisponde perfettamente alla descrizione: spazioso, comodo, pulito. Si trova in una zona centralissima e non particolarmente affascinante della città (la Baixa), che però costituisce il punto di partenza ideale per esplorare tutti i luoghi di interesse della città.
L'accoglienza è stata cortese e sollecita e ci è stato gentilmente consentito di concordare l'orario del check-out sulla base delle nostre esigenze (avevamo il volo di ritorno di sera tardi).
Insomma, un'esperienza molto positiva. Per gruppi o famiglie di 5/6 persone si tratta di un'ottima scelta e di un appartamento che mi sento di consigliare!
lux appartement in het midden van het winkelgebied en restaurants. In de keuken waren werkelijk alle apparatuur aanwezig. De inrichting is in goede staat Een echte aanrader voor een bezoek aan Lissabon. Leuke ontvangst en welkoms drankje van gastvouw Rosa
Reviews for this host's other properties
Nice appartement, great view and friendly help from Helena. Perfect that there were more keys to the appartement so we could split and still have all acces to the appartement. Staying at Pretty Lissabon Appartement made out stay in Lisboa more perfect.
We were two couples who spent four days in this amazing apartment, located very centrally in Lisbon. Close to shopping, a wealth of cafes and restaurants around the corner, overlooking the water, a few minutes walk from the apartment and the famous tram no. 28 just outside the door. We can recommend this lovely spacious apartment with all modern amenities and a very friendly host.
Vi var 2 par, som tilbragte 4 døgn i denne fantastiske lejlighed, som ligger meget centralt i Lissabon. Tæt på indkøbsmuligheder, et væld af cafe'er og restauranter rundt om hjørnet, med udsigt til vandet, der ligger få minutters gang fra lejligheden og den berømte sporvogn nr. 28 lige uden for døren. Vi kan anbefale denne dejlige rummelige lejlighed med alle moderne bekvemmeligheder og en meget venlig vært.
The apartment lived up to what it promised. Super conditions, good rooms, nice living room and lovely terrace. Fine service administrator. Good location for public transport.
Lejligheden levede op til, hvad den lovede. Super forhold, gode værelser, fin stue og dejlig terrasse. Fin service fra administrator. God beliggenhed i forhold til offentlige transportmidler.

The Maxwell Football Club today announced its watch lists for the 78th annual Maxwell Award and the 20th annual Chuck Bednarik Award.
The Maxwell Award, named in honor of Robert W. "Tiny" Maxwell, has been given to America's College Player of the Year since 1937. Maxwell's contributions to the game of football were extensive, including as a player, a sportswriter and an official. The Bednarik Award has been presented to the College Defensive Player of the Year since 1995. Chuck Bednarik, former standout at Penn and with the Philadelphia Eagles, is a member of both the College Football Hall of Fame's Class of '69 and the NFL Hall of Fame's Class of '67.
The watch lists will once again incorporate a broad spectrum of Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) programs and conferences from coast to coast. Returning Maxwell Award semifinalists from 2013 include Wisconsin RB Melvin Gordon, Oregon State QB Sean Mannion, Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, Baylor QB Bryce Petty and returning Maxwell Award finalist Florida State QB Jameis Winston. The Seminoles have placed three players on the list, as RB Karlos Williams and WR Rashad Greene join Winston. Three athletes also represent Baylor, Oregon, and USC, but Alabama leads the pack with four.
The Chuck Bednarik Award watch list features three of last season's semifinalists, Clemson DE Vic Beasley, Oregon CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu and USC DE Leonard Williams. Notably, Georgia landed three linebackers on the list, Leonard Floyd, Jordan Jenkins, and Ramik Wilson. And despite Stanford losing four of its best defensive players to the NFL Draft, the Cardinal still leads all teams with four players represented.
Last season, Alabama QB AJ McCarron and Pittsburgh DT Aaron Donald both made history by becoming the first players from their schools to ever win the Maxwell Award and Chuck Bednarik Award, respectively. McCarron was drafted in the fifth round by the Cincinnati Bengals, while Aaron Donald was taken No. 13 overall by the St. Louis Rams, where he will join one of the NFL's elite defensive lines.
Semifinalists for the Maxwell and Bednarik Awards will be announced November 3, 2014, while the three finalists for each award will be unveiled November 24, 2014. The winners of the 2013 Maxwell and Bednarik Awards will be announced as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards Show held on December 11, 2014. The formal presentations of these awards will be made at the Maxwell Football Club Awards Gala hosted by Revel Casino Hotel Atlantic City on March 6, 2015.
The watch list candidates have been chosen by the Maxwell Football Club's selection committee, which analyzes both past performance and future potential. The Club reserves the right to make additions and deletions to these lists as the 2014 season unfolds. All members of the Maxwell Football Club, NCAA sports information directors, FBS head coaches and selected national media are eligible to vote for the awards.
The Maxwell and Chuck Bednarik Awards are members of the National College Football Awards Association (NCFAA) which encompasses the most prestigious awards in college football. The 21 awards boast 699 years of tradition-selection excellence. Visit www.NCFAA.org to learn more about our story.
The members of the NCFAA are unveiling their preseason watch lists over a 12-day period this month. Fifteen of the association's 21 awards select a preseason watch list and the NCFAA has spearheaded a coordinated effort to promote each award's preseason candidates. Following is the complete 2014 preseason watch list calendar:
Mon., July 7: Bednarik Award / Maxwell Award
Tue., July 8: Mackey Award / Rimington Trophy
Wed., July 9: Lou Groza Award / Ray Guy Award
Thurs., July 10: Bronko Nagurski Trophy / Outland Trophy
Fri., July 11: Jim Thorpe Award
Mon., July 14: Butkus Award / Rotary Lombardi Award
Tue., July 15: Biletnikoff Award

Photo Essay: Tucson Week Three
It's hard to believe it's been three weeks.
To be completely honest, I haven't missed a thing (I kind of expected to by now).
Not even the cats. (Thomas, cover Uci's ears.)
We got weather last week. A proper desert storm with rattling windows and torrential downpour and a snow level dropping to less than 4,000 feet. Miraculously, we logged 19 hours of riding and hardly encountered a raindrop. Lucky, I guess.
The storm brought angry, brooding clouds and ominous light. Snow on the peaks surrounding the valley. Crushing headwinds that made me want to quit the bike.
There are words on the way, I'm sure. But photos first.
If you're a Facebook friend then this collection of images is old news, but I thought it might be nice to have them all in one place. All images are from my iPhone. Most are treated with CameraBag's Helga filter.
Cold pool.
Critical delivery.
True love.
My name is not June.
Lunch break on Lemmon.
Curious white horses.
My bread and butter route. With scary clouds.
Love this crazy old road.
Open range.
Colossal Cave.
Clouds are drama queens.
My favorite wrench.
The real thing.
Crossing washes, post storm.
And, finally, more obligatory horse and donkey photos. These homeboys are my neighbors, yo.
Just get the RSS feed and consume content at your leisure.

Aha! Your iPhone photo secrets revealed at least. That's been driving me crazy. :)
Wonderful collection of photos. Camerabag is a great app. CameraKit and Photogene are my other two faves. It's often fun to process a pic through multiple apps to get some really interesting PP results.
My only reason for not changing to an iPhone was I that I was concerned about the camera quality. But these pictures are all beautiful, I know it's not the bike it's the engine… but now there's nothing to stop me!
The filter is great too gives a warm 'obscura' feel.
Is your cat really called UCI???
Thanks Heidi. I'll look out for it in the stores over here.
Cool name for the cat, for a moment I thought maybe he was named after the Union Cycliste Internationale, not quite so cute! :)
Funny, I'm in Tucson this week. I was driving down Reddington after a mountain bike ride and you can imagine my surprise when I saw Portland Velo and I think Capitol Velo jerseys headed up the hill. I didn't recognize them but it was neat to see some familiar kits 1600 miles from home.

Proved, use google next time you idiots or actually play games that arent Gmod.
I am the clear winner here, the inferior dual core promoting team has retreated from the thread.
Knew he was a fucking troll....
Oh sorry OP, this is my fault, I apologize. That build is actually pretty good, I've edited it a bit, let me know what you think. I'll explain my choices below.
Ok so first off I swapped the hard drive for a Samung F3. I personally run a Seagate, but the general consensus is that there are some of them that are prone to dying, so I'm actually looking into buying an F3 before they go away due to the recent Samsung HDD acquisition. Samsung F3s are widely known as fast reliable drives. On top of that the F3 comes with a free Antec 200 case which I was unaware of until I added it to my cart. The free case allowed me to open up some funds to get a better motherboard and a better power supply. It's not an amazing flashy case, but I think getting a better mobo is worth more in the long run, especially since the mobo has Crossfire support and runs on Intel's overclockable chipset. The motherboard you chose wouldn't allow any overclocking
I changed the ram because I no longer had the combo deal, all ram is essentially equal so it doesn't matter much. They won't die or overheat or anything, they just may not look as "cool".
The Neo Eco 620W is a very good power supply. When looking at a power supply you need to check how many amps it puts out on the 12 volt rails, because those are what most modern components use. The Neo Eco puts out 576W which is pretty good, where as the Corsair only puts out 480W even though the advertised wattage was only 20W lower.
I changed the monitor because Acer monitors are known to have color banding issues and in that price range I would definitely expect some stuck or dead pixels. I've had good experience with Asus, Samsung, LG etc, and the Asus was a good price so I just threw it in. I had a similar 23" Asus and it was always good.
Everything else is as you chose it, and the build is now actually a few dollars cheaper. Good luck with your new build.
Thank you so much. I thought this thread was dead. I will hopefully buy it within a few days.
I was just wondering if this build could run Skryim or BF3 on max settings.
Thanks again.
The M6800's are in my opinion inferior mice and do not feel as nice, or handle as nice as Logitech mice. I recommend trying to get a G500 or M510?
The NEO ECO line is not very reliable at all, I would stress Enermax or Seasonic. Please don't forget that control is almost as important as framerate if not more important then framerate if you're thinking of getting Battlefield 3, a competitive game where every pixel matters, especially your DPI in longer range scenarios. I know the G500 has a nice 5700 DPI so I would recommend that over most other mice.
The other argument between a few users in this thread has been the late i3's versus AMD's Phenom II X4 lates. I confirm the Phenom II X4 will perform over the i3 in a intensive multiplayer game like Battlefield 3. He would be able to get decent FPS on the smaller sized maps; Metro and Bazaar. But on the most played Conquest Large maps such as Gulf of Oman or Caspian Border he would suffer by a large amount compared to the FX series or the Phenom II X4 series, I've personally experimented with this and it is near unplayable on most maps because of the intense destruction and mutlitasking going on while playing with 63 other players. He may be able to play fine on 24 player matches, but then there would be no reason to purchase a PC and he may as well be using a Xbox or PS3.
don't talk about what you don't know about
DPI means nothing compared to the sensor itself, a mouse could have 57,000 dpi and still be crap
gee, I wonder who is the only other person in this subforum saying exactly this
who was also conveniently banned not long ago
and also obsessed with seasonic branded and enermax
and also obsessed with using battlefield 3 as his only example
and also
Please don't talk about stuff you do not know about, the G500 has a amazing sensor and is a great overall mouse. DPI means alot and using a High DPI:Low Sensitivity ratio can reduce pixel skipping and give a smoother end user experience.
I would also like to thank you for bringing up my nationality because being from the same country as another obviously makes them the same person, so how about your new wife.. Prince of England?
are you 12
reapaninja has now been successfully added to your ignore list. You will now be returned to where you were.
Should I just leave it the way it is and choose a new mouse?
G500 is a really good mouse. Learn more about the High DPI to Low Sensitivity ratio once you get it. I'm not going to force feed you it but having a higher DPI and a lower sensitivity in relation to a higher DPI will give you a advantage over the enemy at anything passed 50 meters.
change mobo to asrock z68 extreme3
it's just a rubberdome keyboard, spend less on it
use that to change to http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Optic...5479110&sr=8-1
maybe stick the free antec two hundred on ebay and get something like a haf 912, it might be free but it's not a good case
I think I have finally found a good community :)
Other than that I agree with pretty much everything you said. The Extreme3 just sent me over budget when using the 6950, but it's definitely the mobo to get at the moment.
Thank you all for your help. I finally made a decision to get garrynohome's build but with the g500 mouse.
You guys helped me so much.
I don't like telling other people to gamble with their hardware, especially this late into AMD locking the cards through hardware
if there's a chance for people to unlock then it's all fine for the people buying the lower version but I'm not going to tell people to play lottery with their money
Now you're strawmanning because you're leaving out the key point that you decided to register extremely soon after he was perma'd.
If I change the motherboard to the asrock z68 extreme3 it costs $3 less than the P67.
Also if the Radeon 6950 is a little less powerful than the gtx 560ti for just about the same price should I change the mother board to the asrock z68 extreme3 and the graphics card to the 560ti?
the 560ti and 6950 perform fairly similarly, the main reason for changing is there's a gigabyte 560ti for $50 less than that HIS 6950 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125401
any performance differences will not be worth $50
just a note about the G500, mine has developed a creaky left mouse button and it's not an uncommon problem, though I have no idea if it means anything is breaking or if I just have to put up with the noise every time I click
it depends whether this is likely to bother you, if it is the G400 for $35 is a good price
laser still isn't really any better than a good optical sensor and the free scrolling mouse wheel is neat but gimmicky, you're not losing a huge amount going to the g400
I changed the 6950 to the gtx 560 ti. I going to keep the G500. Thank you for the information though.
Are you going to overclock? You could always drop the K and go with an H61/7 and maybe get a better GPU or something.
Its to late I bought it this afternoon.
Can I still overclock though?
Why didnt anyone point out the cx's were ieds?
Corsair CX= BAD IDEA.

Food bank needs money before making move to new location
SULLIVAN COUNTY, Tenn. - Imagine buying a home, but after making the purchase you don't have enough money to actually move your items in. That's what's happened to an area non-profit that many people count on.
The Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee has outgrown its location in Gray, Tennessee, so they bought a new place that's four times larger. The giant warehouse was once home to Sam's Club, but is now where Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee hopes to call home.
The group bought the building in July 2012, but nine months later they still don't have enough money to move in.
Crews are working to renovate the building so it's ready for Second Harvest; but because there's not enough money for the entire renovation project, they can only do a little bit of work at time. "We're taking the funds we've raised and we're doing the renovations that we can with those funds raised to date," explains Rhonda Chafin, the Executive Director of Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee.
Chafin says the new building is a necessity because the agency has seen a 52 percent increase in need since 2007. "We need to be in here ASAP because the community will benefit as soon as we get in this facility," she said. "We'll be able to do more, provide more food and services to those in need for food assistance."
To give you an idea of how much renovations cost, a new floor was installed for the freezer space at the new facility -- the floor alone cost $100,000. That price doesn't include the cost of the freezer.
To help make up for that money shortage, Chafin is hoping the community will come together and help their fundraising, "We know there are individuals and corporations that could contribute to this campaign and we hope they will," she said.
As of now the group is a little more than halfway to their goal of $1.3 million. They still need more than $600,000 before they can begin the moving process.
The new facility is located off of Exit 63 on Interstate 81 and is more than 100,000 square feet. It will include a large freezer space, a room for volunteer groups that come to help sort food, along with more space to store food for distribution in the community.

Binghamton ranked among most efficient universities
January 2, 2013Tweet
Binghamton University is ranked among the nation's most efficient universities, according to data released by U.S. News & World Report.
The magazine's list shows which schools are able to produce the highest educational quality, while spending relatively less money than their peers. U.S. News & World Report calculated a school's operating efficiency by dividing its 2011 fiscal year financial resources per student by its overall score from the U.S. News and World Report's 2013 "America's Best College" rankings.
Binghamton University is ranked 8th in the nation for efficiency with $22,181 spent per student. It is the only SUNY school to appear in the top 20.
In its 2013 edition of "America's Best Colleges," U.S. News & World Report ranked the University 37th among public universities and colleges, and 89th among all public and private universities. Based on a range of excellence indicators, the U.S. News & World Report rankings measure peer assessment, graduation and retention rates, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, alumni giving and "graduation rate performance."
