From the Left Hand Corner: It's time for health care assurance
As a society we don't need health care insurance. What we need is health care assurance, with or without insurance companies.
Insurance has been the biggest bane of our health care "system" in the United States. Admittedly, insurance is a very necessary evil if the primary source of payment for health care is the individual recipient. Also, insurance is necessary for smaller employers who provide insurance benefits for their employees. There, insurance serves to collect from many to pay for individuals when needed, thus spreading the burden when calamity occurs.
However, to the extent that our government picks up the ultimate cost — which is all of the time for some and most of the time for us fortunate Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries — the insurance "middleman" doesn't make sense. Why pay insurance companies their profit and administrative dollars, presumably to spread costs and assume risk for insured when the ultimate risk is on the government anyway?
As it is, the profitmaking entities in health care seem to walk away with too much money from government spending. That was never intended, at least not expressly so.
Often the most subsidized are the most profitable. Hospitals, once fully charitable, were administered by nuns who devoted their work life without pay. Now, hospital/clinic conglomerates are led by six- and even seven-digit executives, paid in large part with our tax dollars.
Why waste those dollars on secondary insurance profit and administration when those dollars are better directed to the health care professionals and facilities that actually provide direct care?
The overall health care picture in America is rather glum. Our politics, or really the impact of lobbying on our politics, presents a huge negative impediment to meaningful positive change. We have not resolved or reached any real agreement on what to change, let alone how.
Meanwhile, our serious financing problems increase with each passing day. Our population is rapidly changing to more elders and fewer earners.
I doubt there will be any overnight miracles. What we have is deeply entrenched. As we watched and experienced, just the one legislative enactment, the Affordable Health Act, took decades to develop into law.
Now we are experiencing more years of interpretation and application, and its very existence is still under attack, albeit lessening attack.
Our lacking in health care provision causes untold worries and actual physical consequence when those without coverage go without care when it is needed. Diseases and injuries that could have been resolved with early treatment compound in consequence and cost when delayed.
A change in nationwide attitude is in order. We need to reach the same conclusion that other developed countries concluded years ago. Every citizen needs and should have a reasonable lifelong level of health care made available to them. It should not be limited to those who can afford to pay out of their own pocket.
Health care should not be doled out in a haphazard way. It should be as close to the same for everyone as possible. You should not have to be born and stay rich or insured in order to be assured adequate, accessible health care
With our hodgepodge of private and public health care entities and policies, we pay more per capita than any other nation — a lot more.
Yet, many of our citizens still have no accessible care, others not enough, and the rest pay too much. Working together, instead of against each other, we can do a lot better over passage of time.

Motorcycle Road Skills Test
You should be familiar with your motorcycle and the basic operating skills necessary for your safety before riding on a street with other traffic. To make sure you have the basic skills to ride, you will be required to take a road skills test on your motorcycle.
According to Virginia law, if you fail the DMV motorcycle road skills test twice, you must successfully complete a Virginia Rider Training Program before adding the Class M Designation to your driver's license.
Preparing for the Skills Test
When you arrive for your test, you must have:
- An approved helmet with a face shield and safety glasses or goggles.
- Your motorcycle with a valid license plate and a current inspection sticker.
Wear proper protective clothing, including long pants and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket, boots, or shoes that cover the ankles and riding gloves.
Taking the Test
The examiner will conduct a vehicle/equipment inspection before you perform the riding maneuvers to make sure your motorcycle is properly registered, inspected, and in good working condition.
The road skills test will include exercises that measure your ability to handle a motorcycle, including starting, accelerating, shifting, turning, braking and swerving. The license examiner will explain each exam exercise and scoring before you begin the test. You must successfully complete all skills exercises to pass the test.
The test will be stopped by the examiner if you operate your motorcycle in an unsafe manner, disregard instructions, or lose enough points to fail.
You can also stop the test. You should not try a maneuver that you do not feel you can perform safely. If you feel the exercise is too hard or you cannot safely follow the instructions, tell the examiner.
Test Locations
The road skills test for the 2 wheel motorcycle (M2) is offered at all DMV customer service centers EXCEPT the following locations:
- Arlington
- Bedford
- Culpeper
- Danville
- Fairfax Westfields
- Fair Oaks Mall
- Front Royal
- Gloucester
- Lorton
- Norfolk Military Circle
- Norfolk Widgeon Road
- Norton
- Onancock
- Pentagon
- Smithfield
- Staunton
- Sterling
- Suffolk
- Tysons Corner
- Warrenton
- Virginia Beach Hilltop
- Williamsburg
- Winchester
- Woodstock
NOTE: Motorcycle testing at the Roanoke customer service center is conducted only on Saturdays.
Testing on the 3 Wheel motorcycle (3M) is by appointment only. Please contact one of the following numbers listed below to set up your appointment to test:
- Bristol District: (276) 608-0099
- Fairfax District: (540) 840-3714
- Portsmouth District: (757) 686-5182
- Richmond District: (804) 796-4135
- Roanoke District: (434) 334-7012
- Staunton District: (540) 631-7676
Skills Test Waiver
DMV will waive the road skills test for motorcycle license applicants who have successfully completed the Virginia Rider Training Program course.
- If you have completed a Virginia Rider Training Program class before July 1, 2007, bring your DMV certificate of completion with you when you apply for your motorcycle license. The requirement to hold a learner's permit for 30 days prior to getting your license will be waived and you will not be required to take the motorcycle road skills test. You will be able to operate a motorcycle once you have passed the motorcycle knowledge exam and taken the vision test. Certificates issued before July 1, 2007, are valid for a period of two years from the date of completion.
- If the certificate was issued after July 1, 2007, bring your DMV certificate of completion with you when you apply for your motorcycle license. You will be exempted from taking both the motorcycle knowledge exam and the road skills test, and you will be allowed to operate a motorcycle for 30 days after completing the course. However, you must apply within the 30 day period to add the Class M designation to your license to remain eligible to operate a motorcycle. Certificates issued after July 1, 2007, are valid for a period of one year from the date of completion.
Members of the Military
Along with their spouses and dependents, military personnel who are stationed outside of Virginia and who hold a valid Virginia driver's license may obtain a motorcycle classification after submitting documentation confirming:
- Completion of a military approved basic motorcycle rider training course and
- Assignment outside of Virginia
Upon approval, DMV will mail a new driver's license displaying the motorcycle classification to the applicant. Customers will be required to pay a license replacement fee and the yearly motorcycle classification fee for each year of validity remaining on their license.

text: A priest, a thief and an engineer are all slated to be executed by guillotine. The priest is to be dispatched first and the executioner asks him: "How do you want to face on the guillotine?" The priest responds: "With my face up, looking toward heaven." The executioner accedes and the priest is laid face up on the guillotine. The executioner pulls the cord; the blade drops, and then miraculously stops within mere inches of the priest's neck. The gathered witnesses gasp in astonishment. Everybody agrees that it is a miracle and sign of divine intervention and the priest's life is spared. The thief is next. When the executioner asks how he'd like to be positioned the thief responds: "With my face up, looking toward heaven." The executioner complies, and the thief is laid down face up. The cord is pulled. The blade falls, and, as with the priest the blade stops inches from the thief's neck. Again the witnesses gasp. They can understand a miracle occurring with the priest but with a thief! Nonetheless, they take it as a sign from God, and release the thief. Finally, it's the engineer's turn. Like the other two he wishes to be executed face up, looking toward heaven. The executioner lays him down, but before he can pull the cord the engineer yells out: "Stop! Stop!" The executioner pauses, and the engineer, looking up at the guillotine says, "I think I see the problem."

Bill Miller | November 17, 2007
By Bill Miller • Saturday, November 17, 2007 - 11:54
A panel of UN scientists has fired an opening salvo for world political leaders meeting next month in Bali to negotiate a successor to the Kyoto protocol.
And it's a stern warning of what's at stake if governments fail to take action, far stronger than three previous IPCC reports despite lively debate – highlighted by objections from the U.S., China and India – among about 130 governments who gave final approval.
The 26-page report by the Nobel Peace Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said warming of the climate system is "unequivocal" and governments must take action to avoid catastrophic consequences.
Governments were told that they only have a few years to avoid the "abrupt and irreversible" affects of global warming. The summit, held in Spain, heard there's still time to act - but not much.
Barring action, the report said, melting ice sheets would lead to a rapid rise in sea levels and the extinction of large numbers of species would be brought about by even moderate warming on the order of 1 to 3 degrees.
The report is the final word from the UN climate panel before leaders meet in Bali, Indonesia, next month to discuss a treaty that will replace Kyoto, which expires in 2012. It is also the first report from the panel since it was awarded the Nobel prize in October, which many scientists say emboldened them to take stronger positions.
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, describing climate change as "the defining challenge of our age," called on the U.S. and China to play "a more constructive role." Both are signatories to Kyoto, but Washington has not ratified the treaty and China, along with India and other developing countries, is not bound by its mandatory emissions caps.
Though more alarming than its predecessors, some believe the report still understates the trajectory of global warming and its impact. The I.P.C.C.'s scientific process, which takes five years of study and writing from start to finish, cannot take into account the very latest data on climate change or economic trends, which show larger than predicted development and energy use in China.
Interesting reading
I just finished reading the report, and it is quite emphatic. I also noticed that re: the retreating Greenland ice sheet, they come very close to stating that recent observations suggest it will happen a lot faster than they anticipated. They suggest that it could happen on a cycle of centuries rather than millennia as previously stated in response to the sea level rise claim in AIT that everyone thought was so badly distorted.
So who will be speaking for Canada in Bali? How do we make sure Harper's government gets the message?
One of the comments in the online press is as follows: "There is now broad agreement on the amplifying scale of the problem, but countries remain sharply divided on how to tackle it, fearing economic costs and loss of competitive advantage." "Competitive advantage" is grossly overrated. What about cooperation for survival?
Brian Dell replied on Permalink
"competitive advantage"
"competitive advantage" seems to be something the more developed / low birth rate societies value more than the less developed / high birth rate societies. Unless you think high population growth will no impact on the environment, I would think that the values that limit that growth are under-rated, not over-rated.
I'm very concerned about
I'm very concerned about over population. However I am not sure that maintaining a competitive advantage necessarily leads directly to lower birth rates. As an excuse for doing less on AGW it is self-serving and could have serious consequences.
I agree...
This concern about "competitive advantage" shouldn't even enter the equation. I tend to believe this kind of thinking will only cause some governments to hesitate, just to wait and see what the "other guy" will do first.
I think this is a really bad case of "can't see the forest for the trees"…
Timing is everything
I've just been reading at the G&M that although the official death toll from Cyclone Sidr in Bangladesh is about 2,300 so far, the final number is likely to be close to 10,000. The prediction in yesterday's report that there will "likely [be an]increase in tropical cyclone intensity" will come as no surprise to the survivors picking through the wreckage of their lives. I hope it also focuses the minds of the delegates meeting in Bali next month on the vulnerability of coastal and island environments (such as Indonesia).

Competitive Advantage
Competitive advantage as a strategic concept has been central to the success of the Western World.
But any student of strategy will tell you that to retain competitive advantage one needs to think long term - something which current thinking on climate change policy does not do.
For two slightly different views on the long term / short term view of global warming policy, and hence the likely outcome of the Bali summit have a look at this link: http://www.talkclimatechange.com/index.html#NewsRef300

Oh my: 58% of Republicans want more candidates to choose from
posted at 8:05 pm on January 9, 2012 by Allahpundit
The survey finds that 58 percent of Republican primary voters want more presidential choices, while just 37 percent say they are satisfied with the current field. The percentage of Republican primary voters that wants more choices has increased 12 percentage points since October…
It's mathematically possible for another candidate to enter the race as late as early February and still win enough delegates to take the nomination, though some deadlines for candidates to get on state ballots have already passed, including those in delegate-rich Virginia and Illinois. A late entry into the GOP race would come with potentially-overwhelming obstacles, including the need to instantly build a national campaign apparatus and do the hard work of getting on state ballots in an extremely compressed time period…
There is no candidate in the GOP field who more than one third of Republican primary voters say they would enthusiastically support if he were the nominee. Rick Santorum does best in terms of enthusiasm, with 33 percent saying they would enthusiastically support him.
I know what you're thinking, but c'mon. It may be "mathematically possible" to jump in now and win the most delegates but the Romney and Paul machines would battle to the bitter end. There's no one on the Republican landscape with the possible exception of Jeb Bush who could declare today and sweep the field, and I doubt even Jeb could pull that off with Romney fighting him state by state. And no, a brokered convention wouldn't solve the problem. Can you imagine the public watching Romney, Paul, and one of the other candidates wage a 50-state war for the next six months, with all the media coverage that would entail, only to have some entirely new person dropped on them as nominee two months before the election? Voters aren't going to hand the launch codes to someone like Paul Ryan or Chris Christie who's unknown to 80 percent of the electorate. And the baggage of Jeb's last name would be even heavier if he were picked at a brokered convention: It would smell illegitimate, as if the GOP establishment had somehow engineered a primary coup to install yet another member of the Bush royal family to the throne. There's just no way out of this situation, I think.
How depressed are Republicans about their predicament? Compare this year to 2008 in Pew's new data:
I can't believe it's actually as high as 51 percent. There must be some sort of floor, probably around 40 percent or so, for any given field just based on pure partisanship within the sample. Figure 40 percent of either party will always, always say that a particular field is good or excellent. This crew has convinced another 11 percent of the remaining 60 that they're worthy. Wonderful.

Tuberculin test, TST, Mantoux, PPD (purified protein derivative)
This test determines whether you have been infected with tuberculosis (TB), a highly contagious bacterial infection. It's possible to have latent or inactive TB and not feel sick, or you can have active TB disease with symptoms.
You might need this test if you have recently been exposed to someone who has TB or if your doctor suspects you may have a TB infection.
Symptoms of TB include:
Night sweats
Weight loss
TB usually affects the lungs, but it can spread to other parts of your body, including your joints, spine, brain, and kidneys, and cause additional symptoms.
You also might have this test if you:
Have HIV or another disease that weakens your immune system
Use illegal drugs
Recently emigrated from areas where TB is more common, such as some Eastern European or Latin America countries
If you are a health care worker, you might have this test periodically as part of your facility's infection control program. Testing for TB is often part of routine prenatal care.
If you test positive on a TB skin test, your doctor will probably order a chest X-ray, sputum smear (a test on mucus you cough up), and TB culture to confirm the results.
Many things may affect your lab test results. These include the method each lab uses to do the test. Even if your test results are different from the normal value, you may not have a problem. To learn what the results mean for you, talk with your health care provider.
The test may be interpreted as positive if the skin where you were injected is hard, raised, red, and swollen. However, redness alone is not considered a positive reaction.
A positive skin test means it's likely that you were infected with TB bacteria at some point in time, but this does not necessarily mean that you have an active TB infection.
In many cases, if you have a healthy immune system, your body will "wall off" the TB bacteria soon after you are infected, and you will not go on to develop an active TB infection. Further tests are necessary to see if you have active or inactive TB.
If you have no reaction, the skin test is considered negative, and you are not likely to have inactive TB or TB disease.
Your inner forearm is disinfected and a small amount of fluid called tuberculin is injected into your skin. A circle is drawn around the injection site with long-lasting ink. You need to return to the testing site after 48 to 72 hours to be examined by a trained health care worker.
When the needle pricks your arm, you may feel a slight stinging sensation or pain. Afterward, the site may be slightly sore.
You cannot get TB from the skin test.
If you have been vaccinated against tuberculosis with bacilli Calmette-Guerin (BCG), you can have a positive reaction to the skin test even if you don't have, or never had, a TB infection.
You might have a false negative test if you are:
On steroid therapy
Taking drugs that can affect your immune system, such as medication for AIDS or cancer
You don't need to prepare for this test. Be sure your doctor knows about all medicines, herbs, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. This includes medicines that don't need a prescription and any illicit drugs you may use.

Everyone seems to agree that our current girls are incapable of bringing home any medal even at their absolute best. So, in the same spirit as the other thread, if you can summon any girls (dead or alive), which 3 would you send to Sochi to snatch a medal from a hypothetical clean Kim, Kostner, and Asada?
I came up with only 3 names, although I'm not even sure if 2 of them are capable of getting the bronze. I'm struggling to find other names because they are just not good enough.
Tonya, Kristi, and Michelle.
Tonya has the 3x3, 3A, incredible speed, decent spins, good skating skills. Should be very competitive. Tonya at her best would be vying for the gold medal.
Kristi has the 3fLutz-3T, 3F, good skating skills. Natural performer. From her pro career, I think she has no problem with getting big PCS. Judges also love Kristi.
Michelle has great skills, another natural performer. Michelle has a flutz, but everything else should be solid enough.

Distinguished Chair for the Dean of Engineering
Governor appoints UTSA dean to tech committee
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(Sept. 25, 2008)--Gov. Rick Perry has appointed C. Mauli Agrawal, UTSA's David and Jennifer Spencer Distinguished Chair for the Dean of Engineering, to serve on the Emerging Technology Fund (ETF) advisory committee. The committee recommends projects to be considered for ETF funding to the governor, lieutenant governor and speaker of the house.

ETF is a $200 million initiative established by the Texas Legislature to attract top researchers and scientists to the state and to support technology-based start-up companies. To date, the ETF has awarded more than $110 million.
"I am honored by the trust placed in me by Gov. Perry and I look forward to working closely with the exceptional members of this committee to help make the state of Texas more competitive in the technology arena," said Agrawal.
Agrawal has authored more than 265 scientific publications, and his work has resulted in several patents licensed to commercial entities. He also is a founder of Xilas Medical Inc. (now Diabetica Solutions), a San Antonio-based medical device company working in the area of diabetic foot problems. Xilas was selected in 2006 as the first company in Texas to be funded by ETF. More recently, Agrawal co-founded companies with the goal of taking new technologies for drug-eluting cardiovascular stents and bone repair to market.
In 2007, he was awarded the Chancellor's Entrepreneurship and Innovation Award from the University of Texas System and the Healthcare Hero Award for biomedical research by the San Antonio Business Journal.
Agrawal joins San Antonio resident and UTSA alumnus Bill Morrow as an ETF representative for Bexar County. Morrow is the ETF advisory committee chairman, chairman and CEO of CSIdentity, and founder of Grande Communications.
The UTSA College of Engineering is one of the fastest growing colleges at UTSA with a 101-percent increase in student enrollment in the last seven years in addition to being one of the nation's leading producers of Hispanic engineers. The undergraduate programs are accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and the college's faculty members are national and international leaders in areas such as manufacturing, communications, security, biomedical engineering, water resources and transportation. The college is a leader in helping propel UTSA to become one of the nation's leading research-intensive institutions.

UTSA archaeologists find 3700 B.C. artifacts
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(April 21, 2009)--UTSA Center for Archaeological Research (CAR) researchers are examining artifacts they recently discovered that date from 3700 B.C. to 600 A.D. The artifacts were discovered during a three-month dig at Miraflores Park, east of Brackenridge Park.

CAR researchers were hired by the San Antonio design firm Rehler Vaughn & Koone to conduct an archaeological site inspection before construction of a pedestrian bridge over the San Antonio River from Brackenridge Park. What was expected to be a one-day observation turned into a three-month project which CAR researchers completed in March.
"We found a lot of Early Archaic materials from approximately 3500 B.C., which are of significant interest, including two Guadalupe tools that were used either for woodworking or the defleshing of hunted game," said Jon Dowling, CAR project archaeologist. "It was a really small area that we expected would be open and shut quickly, but it turned out to be a treasure chest of archaeology."
CAR staffers Cyndi Dickey and Steve Smith, UTSA graduate students and members of the Southern Texas Archaeological Association also worked on the project.
"It's no surprise to us when we find evidence of prehistoric occupation along a fresh-water resource," said Dowling. "It's an ideal place to live whether it was 6,000 years ago or 100 years ago."
According to Dowling, the artifacts will be curated and analyzed so CAR researchers can quantify and synthesize the data for better comprehension and understanding.
Discovered artifacts include:
- Ensor projectile point (spear point) from the Transitional Archaic period (200 B.C.-600 A.D.)
- Tortugas projectile point (spear point) from the Middle Archaic period or earlier
- Early Triangular projectile point (spear point) from the Early Archaic period (3700-3600 B.C.)
- Remnants/segment of an historic relief dam used to stop flow into the old San Antonio Water Works Raceway (dam built circa 1877 or 1878.)
To date, CAR has administered more than 500 contracts and grants. Research activities have focused on numerous prehistoric sites and historic archaeology at Spanish Colonial missions, the Alamo, historic churches and forts, and early Texas settlements. Staff members also have conducted archaeological investigations in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Mexico, Belize, Africa, Turkey, Europe and South America. Results of these investigations are published in more than 300 volumes in 10 publication series.

Iranian Cinema: A SEPARATION
Thursday, April 04, 2013
(Iran/2011—directed by Asghar Farhadi)
A Separation is an Iranian Rashomon – a searing family drama that morphs into a gripping legal thriller. Married couple Simin (Leila Hatami) and Nader (Peyman Moadi) manage to obtain coveted visas to leave Iran for a life in the United States, where Simin hopes to provide a more promising future to their 11-year-old daughter. But Nader isn't comfortable abandoning his sick father; to help him care for the old man, Nader hires a deeply religious woman who takes the job unbeknownst to her husband; almost immediately there are complications, culminating in an unexpected incident that challenges our own perceptions of who (if anyone) is to blame, what really happened, and what the legal and moral implications may be.

The two most popular means of granting access to licensed spectrum bands are through spectrum auctions and through so-called "beauty contests."
The auction method is straightforward: interested parties bid for a given spectrum band; whoever commits the higher sum gets the right to use the frequencies. In theory this method guarantees that the adjudication will be transparent but in practice, transparency has often been circumvented. There have been instances where powerful commercial interests have acquired frequencies only to avoid their used by competition. As a result, highly valuable spectrum was not used. There is also temptation on the part of the government to use this method as a means of revenue generation as opposed to a mechanism for seeking the optimum value of a spectrum band. This is not necessarily a bad thing in itself but arguably counterproductive if the policy goal is increasing access and stimulating competition. As an example, in 2000 auctions in several European countries allocated 3G spectrum auction for mobile phones that resulted in income of 100 billion (100 000 000 000) euros to the government coffers. The massive price paid by operators for this spectrum resulted in reduced resources and increased delays in roll-out.

[quote user="Morehead State"]Despite what they say about Romo being fine, it will be tough to throw the ball accurately with that hand injury.[/quote]
Plus it's going to be cold. If he bangs it on the ground or on another helmet or gets it his anyway it's going to hurt every time. It will affect his velocity and accuracy.
Great point about TC. I think you are right about that. We have shown up in some big games recently. The players know what happened last year as well in our stadium. I don't think it's going to be close. The D played great against the Jets and they will carry that momentum.

Safety IMO is a hard position made ever harder with the new rules. Obviously everyone can't do it or people wouldn't have issues with blown coverages. The safety is usually the guy that tells the DB's what to do in any given situation so they need to be smart, know the playbook and be able to read offenses. They also need the ability to hit, tackle, cover and play in the box. I for one am glad we paid for Rolle because he can do most of those things and has an attitude about him that resinates with the team. He should be wearing a C on his jersey and not Tuck..
I'm not sure KP will get the money people expect, his degenerative knee issues will likely cost him a big contract!
Technically you can call the penalty on a hit anywhere on the receiver as long as he is defenseless until he has become a runner, hence football move of some sort.
Tough to say that hungrryyy - while i agree with your assessment considering a degenerative knee injury with teams like the raiders (remember gibril) and other horrifying gm's there is always the chance someone jumps at him.
(b) Prohibited contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture is:
(1) Forcibly hitting the defenseless players head or neck area with the helmet, facemask, forearm, or shoulder, regardless of whether the defensive player also uses his arms to tackle the defenseless player by encircling or grasping him; and
(2) Lowering the head and making forcible contact with the top/crown or forehead/hairline parts of the helmet against any part of the defenseless players body.
This comes straight from the nfl - not sure why you think it isnt true.
Today the NFL's communications department attempted to clear things up, with e-mails to the media and Twitter messages pointing to the exact wording of the rules regarding defenseless players.
The relevant portion of the rule is:
"It is a foul if a player initiates unnecessary contact against a player who is in a defenseless posture.
(a) Players in a defenseless posture are: [. . .]
(2) A receiver attempting to catch a pass; or who has completed a catch and has not had time to protect himself or has not clearly become a runner. If the receiver/runner is capable of avoiding or warding off the impending contact of an opponent, he is no longer a defenseless player

One year later: How effective is the ban on texting and driving?
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - One year ago Monday, texting and driving became illegal in Idaho. Has the ban made our roads any safer?
Idaho State Police troopers say answering that question can be complicated, and that issuing citations for texting can be tricky.
In 2009, trooper Peter Sibus was lucky to walk away from a crash with nothing but a new outlook on his career. He was clearing debris from the road, when another car slammed into his cruiser. He said the driver was texting at the time.
"It's obviously going to change the way you do your job," Sibus said of the incident. "I definitely am an anti-texter."
Since texting behind the wheel became illegal, three years after the crash, Sibus has not issued a single texting ticket.
"What I cite people for is failure to maintain lanes, because they're obviously driving out of their lane when they're texting and that's a moving violation," Sibus said.
Texting and driving is a non-moving violation. It has Sibus cautiously questioning whether the ban is actually effective.
"I mean, I still see people (texting and driving)," Sibus said.
After just a few minutes at an Idaho Falls intersection, our news cameras captured several culprits.
"They'll tell us they weren't doing that particular thing," said trooper Neil Stevens, admitting that it's difficult to cite a driver for texting. "They were just hitting something to, you know, call someone -- or something of that nature."
Still, Stevens tries to stay more optimistic than Sibus.
"The way I see it, is they're stopped. We're making them aware of it. They know we're watching them, and hopefully that'll change their behavior," Stevens said.
Since July 1, 2012, ISP has issued 66 citations for texting and driving, statewide. A citation carries a $90 fine and three points.
According to Lt. Chris Weadick, the texting ban does help with investigations into deadly car crashes. Police can subpoena phone companies to gain access to cell phone records, and determine if the driver was texting at the time of the accident.

I spent the summer on the road, touching down in nine of the 10 provinces in Canada. Tourism opportunities abound in big centres and small, with people eager to search out local experiences, whether it be culinary finds or historic tours that are short on gimmicks and strong on depth and personality. In all, 2012 was a fantastic year for seeing Canada.

Mexican journalist speaks at UTSA Mexico Center
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Oct. 19, 2007)--Mexican journalist and philanthropist Lolita Ayala says indifference, prejudice and denial are not solutions for human problems, but generosity is. The respected television journalist spoke at an Oct. 5 lunchtime lecture at the UTSA Mexico Center at the Downtown Campus.
Ayala discussed her philanthropic work, the most recent project spotlighting an aspect of immigration that often goes unnoticed. Her foundation established a center in Matamoros, Mexico, to assist in the repatriation of children caught in the middle of the complicated immigration issue.

- 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

According to Ayala, nearly 20,000 children attempt border crossings into the United States every year and 50,000 have been repatriated in the last five years. Often, the children attempt border crossings to reunite with their parents or other relatives already in the United States. In reintegrating these children into Mexican society, Ayala said, they often are separated from their families and are alone and without advocates.
"Generosity is one of the essential virtues of the human race," said Ayala. "We can create opportunities in education, in athletics, in family assistance -- to remove obstacles and help these children reach their goals."
In response to the 1985 Mexico City earthquake, Ayala founded the charitable organization, Sólo por Ayudar (Only to Help). After building 250 homes, the foundation continued its contributions to Mexico's indigent, establishing a homeless shelter for children and operating a food bank that supports an estimated 60,000 people each month. Other missions under Sólo por Ayudar include leukemia research and treatment, facilitation of kidney transplants, burn treatment, animal rights advocacy, and cerebral palsy and Down syndrome research.
The UTSA Mexico Center mission is to open dialogues that discuss and promote policy recommendations and bilateral solutions to issues relevant to the United States and Mexico. For more information, call (210) 458-2923.

No part of me wants a LBer first round. Give me the top DE, or a big physically-imposing CB. I'd even take a highly-rated, mauling OT/OG over LBer.

Reviews of this property
The room was good and the overview from the balkon/terrace was very nice. Monica is a nice person too. I had to share the kitchen and the bathroom with other people. It was nice to vind some kitchen related substances such like oil and salt. The location of the room is fantastic although at the biginning hard to find. The only thing is there were old things in the refrigerator that might be not good anymore (freezed chocopasta and other staff). I had expected more scavenging beurts.
The flat is well located and well equipped. The stay was perfect and I can totally recommend the room of Monica.
Monica is very friendly and the room is fine
Mónica es muy amable y la habitación está muy bien
I was very comfortable in the apartment that Monica offers. I had the backpack until the evening in the room which I appreciate very much. I could cook without any problems and enjoy the terrace for breakfast. There were more people in the apartment but never agreed with them. I thank all of them were quiet and I needed a place to rest for the night and that's very difficult. My room was a single and was right next to the bathroom and want that people are not listening in and out logical thing. As an improvement would make noise doors opening and closing, but as the only thing to keep in mind for the rest of all. I've been very good and the attention of Monica has been very good. Thank you very much for your accommodation.
Estuve muy a gusto en el apartamento que ofrece Mónica. Tuve la mochila hasta la tarde en la habitación cosa que le agradezco muchísimo. Pude cocinar sin ningún problema y de disfrutar de la terraza para desayunar. Había más personas en el apartamento pero nunca coincidí con ellas. Agradezco que todas ellas fueran tranquilas ya que necesitaba un lugar para descansar por la noche y eso es muy difícil. Mi habitación era la individual y estaba justo al lado del baño y quieras que no se escuchaba a la gente entrar y salir cosa lógica. Como mejora pondría que las puertas hacen ruido al abrirse y cerrarse pero como única cosa a tener en cuenta para el descanso de todos. He estado muy bien y la atención de Mónica ha sido muy buena. Muchas gracias por tu alojamiento.
The apartment is absolutely fine!
Can definitely recommend!
Die Wohnung ist absolut in Ordnung!
Kann man auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!
Unfortunately, I had only two days in the apartment. I was reminded of it earlier. I'm already a bit older. Think it's great how Mónica taking care of the guests. On all my questions I got a reasonable answer. I can only recommend!
Leider war ich nur zwei Tage in der Wohnung. Mich hat es an früher erinnert. Bin schon etwas älter. Finde es toll, wie Mónica sich um die Gäste kümmert. Auf alle meine Fragen habe ich eine vernünftige Antwort bekommen. Kann ich nur weiterempfehlen!
The apartment is cozy, is well located and easy to find.
Monica makes you feel part of the house and that causes you to be even more comfortable.

Mail for ME?!
It's from CANADA?!
It has Thomas on it!
OK I guess I believe Canada is real!
Aren't all you Canadians SO relieved?! LOL Thanks Lisa! :o)
OOh! I'm first!!
He's so funny! (That funny in a good way!!!)
I'm glad he believes that Canada does actually exist. (What was between Alaka and the rest of the states before?
When I was about Kameron's age (I might have been a little younger - and I may have already told this story!) I used to cry when my Dad cut the grass and it cut the heads of the Daisies - I used to freak out and throw major tantrums because I thought my Dad was killing the Daisies - not quite sure how this was linked to the whole of Canada not being there!
those are some great shots of him figuring it all out. hehe
Well, I guess if Thomas comes here then that's proof enuf huh! I'm glad I exist then too!
pssst, don't believe them Kam.. I think they may be trying to fool you!
Cute! He looks pretty thrilled with his cool mail! I look like that too, when I see mail from there with chocolate bars and Tim Hortons in it that I can't get here !
Never believe every thing you read...Except the Bible, of course. ;o) But it is true...Canada exists. I have friends who live there...Unless my friends aren't real? Uh oh...Now I am worried!!!
Too funny!
lmao!! too funny!!!
I love it!!!! What a creative and simple idea. Kids love their own mail!
Kudos to Lisa for setting the record straight in such a fun way!
Wow look at the smile on Kameron's face!
Im Glad he's enjoying his mail from me! Just wait until he tells his friends at school about Thomas mail!
Well Im glad he's a believer now! Hugs to Kameron!
I've never been to Canada either. I'm glad Kameron can tell me it really does exist. I love trains ... I'll bet Kameron and I would enjoy seeing Thomas the Tank Engine.
I wonder what would happen if I claimed not to believe that Hawaii exists ... would someone send me a ticket to visit there? Seems like a good plan to me!
I do believe in Canada...I do believe in Canada ;o)
He is so cute!!!
A fan from New York City.
So Cute! Love this post. Hope all is well, and continues to go well.
I'm a believer too!!! Love the post,
He is too cute :))
New York
I'm glad he changed his mind. I wanted to visit there someday, but if it wasn't there, where would I go?? ;)
That is the prettiest blankie in the background. Did someone make that for you or did you make it??
Jenn & Brook
Too cute :)
Great fun! I bet he just couldn't believe it! Plus, what kiddo doesn't like getting mail!
He is so handsome!

The apartment corresponded to the information. Joanne was very nice! We would book the apartment again.
Das Apartment entsprach den Angaben. Joanne war sehr nett! Wir würden das Appartement wieder buchen.
We arrived at Gare de l´Est. The studio in a timbered frame house was easy to reach. It is clean, quiet and small, but sufficient space to enjoy romantic Paris.
Check in and check out was absolutely on time.
Hervé was very warm and welcoming and flexible with the check-in time. This place is a very compact studio in a typical Parisian building, about 10 minutes walking distance to Notre Dame. My wife & I spent a week in this studio and it was very convenient stay in the heart of Paris. A good wifi connection was helpful.
Overall it was a good stay. Thanks Hervé!
"In the heart of Paris" literally, the perfect location. Walking out of the apartment you can see Notre Dame and the metro is less than a minutes walk.
Apartment is small, but ideal for two people. Everything you need is available, comfortable bed, good Wi-Fi, small cooking area... etc
The host was particularly nice, extremely welcoming and amiable.
Would definitely recommend this apartment for any couple visiting Paris.
Couldn't find a reason to complain, even if we tried! Five star!
Amazing place close to Notredame and Pompidour. The apartment is small but you have enough place for a couple. Hervé and Joanne are super nice people. They explained everything and connection for visit Paris and were helping us all time. They are very friendly people.
I recomment this place if you want to visit Paris.

Product Description
Save by getting all four books together!
- The Big Book of Green Smoothies
- 101 Healthy Lunches
- Robyn's Healthy Family Favorites
- Healthy Holiday Favorites
The Big Book of Green Smoothies
Green smoothies are a revolution. The term itself doesn't do it justice. It's a perfect solution in a fast-paced, fast-food world. It's a habit that can change your health dramatically. It's a way to get 15 servings of raw plant food in your diet painlessly, for 3 adults, with just 10 minutes of kitchen time.
It's far easier than salads, with all the chopping and chewing needed, and the high-fat salad dressings you drench them in. Blending breaks cell walls down for instantly available nutrition.
And according to my research in The Green Smoothies Diet, more than 95% of regular green smoothie drinkers experience a noticeable positive effect on their health or quality of life. 84% are so enthusiastic about the green-smoothie habit that they teach it to others! And top health benefits include more energy (85%), better digestion (80%), fewer cravings for sweets and junk food (65%), more positive, stable mood (54%), prettier skin (50%), and weight loss (50%).
My readers contributed their very best recipes for this book. And, 50 of their children's photos landed on the pages of the book, to inspire your children. They'll know that other amazing kids are healthy because they drink their greens! So if you're a health-nut mom, you can show them you're not the only one!
101 Healthy Lunches
When you're on the learning curve to get away from meat, dairy, and processed foods, it's easy to get in a "rut!" Eating the same thing for lunch every day can get boring. But, of course, you want something quick to make and portable for work or school.
Having this book is a good first step to ending the boredom of The Lunch Rut! You'll learn to have certain staples on hand and you can mix and match them in an endless variety of ways for great plant-based nutrition every day.
I went to GreenSmoothieGIrl.com readers to add to my own lunchtime arsenal. I've given credit by first name to contributors who sent ideas of what they like to eat for lunch. This should give you plenty of variety for lots of delightful mid-day meals!
Robyn's Healthy Family Favorites
The week GreenSmoothieGirl.com went live, the site had 200+ visitors daily, and that number grew rapidly. Those first readers' requests were consistent: "Give us recipes!"
That prompted me to put together my family's favorites that I continued to add to, which are in this collection.
More recipe collections, my course 12 Steps to Whole Foods, and my book The GreenSmoothies Diet followed in the next two years.
Back in the days when I was eating the Standard American Diet like everyone else, my favorite recipe books were those "favorites" books that people often put together for fundraisers.
The average American family makes only about 10 favorite main dishes. But as my family shifted to a whole-food, 95% plant-based diet, those recipes were no longer appropriate. I had to find others.
In everything I do and teach, I hope to find ways of achieving good nutrition that are simple, affordable, delicious, and doable for everyone. My goal with every meal or snack is 60-80% raw, all whole foods, 95% or more plant foods.
This recipe collection is a means to that end. It's my favorite recipes that I use over and over-those recipes that have helped us jump to a brave new world where we live greener, lower on the food chain, and more compassionately. Without spending a ton of time in the kitchen or breaking the bank.
Healthy Holiday Favorites
Does your excitement about the holidays die when you think about the five pounds the average person gains?
If you find the thought of giving up standard, low-nutrition "comfort foods" difficult, there's hope. You can make delicious foods that are good for you!
It's not difficult to find alternatives to carrot cake, pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes, holiday ice creams, and many other goodies that we look forward to at the end of the year.
You just use different ingredients, with the same flavors, to achieve anywhere from much better nutrition to really excellent, all-raw nutrition.
To develop these recipes, I teamed up with GreenSmoothieGirl reader Desiree Ward, who is a genius in the kitchen. Katie Dudley did the fabulous photography.
I hope you enjoy a more healthful holiday season as a result of making and serving these creations!

Hello folks.
In an effort to provide information on availability and sources of FGMO I am providing/updating data on my most recent
research on the subject. In one of my recent
postings I listed Ste Oil Co as another source of FGMO. At the time I did not have quality specifications and deferred that explanation until such date when these were available to me. Due to lack of space I will quote the most basic critical data. Any one interested in a complete spectrum of data beyond that reflected here, please write to me and or to Ste Oil Company Inc., P. O. Box 1033, San Marcos, TX 78667 Tel. 512-396-3399.
The following is an extract of literature provided to me by the company.
"Crystal Plus Oil 70
Regulatory Information
Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) Title III.
Hazard Categories: None Known to Apply.
This product is suitable foe use as an "H1" Lubricant in USDA Food Processing Plants. I does not contain any of the chemicals which are reportable under SARA Section 313 or 40 CFR 372.
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA):
All components of this product are listed on the TSCA inventory.
Comprehenisve Environmnetal Response, Compensation and LKiability Act (CERCLA).
No chemiclas in this product are listed on the TSCA inventory.
California Safe Drinking and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986-Proposition 65
Based on information currently available, this product is not known to contain any chemical currently listed as carcinogens or reproductive toxins under California proposition 65 at levels which owuld be subject to the proposition . . ."
I consider these characteristics to be very significant since I have always insisted on utilizing not only USDA approved mineral oil but also the type that does not violate any federal or state statutes, and most importantly, one that is not toxic nor contaminant of bee products, the hive or the environment.
I have been informed that Ste Oil Company has distribution outlets throughout the United States and Internationally (Agra Worldwide LLC) and a wide variety of containers. I am told that quantities of the
Burgess Portable Propane Insect Fogger are available at most hardware outlets (I get
mine's from Lowe's) at very reasonable prices.
I suspect that FGMO will be very much in demand when the Universities performing comparative studies with FGMO release their findings, hence my efforts to provide this information at this time.
Best regards.

Sawyers' tenants still will pay the couple in prison
Renter in limbo, upset: Couple owes nearly $6 million in restitution
BEND, Ore. - Former Bend Realtor Tami Sawyer and her husband Kevin, a former Bend police captain, are in jail, on their way to federal prison after being sentenced last week for fraud and money-laundering.
But now renters who live in their homes are worried about their own future.
The Sawyers own three homes in Bend that are being rented out.
Renters were given a letter Monday saying the rent still must be paid to Genesis Futures, regardless of the fact the owners, the Sawyers, are in prison.
"My first reaction was this is, probably another scam from the Sawyers," said one renter from the couple, who didn't want to show his face or share his name publicly.
He, along with two other renters from the Sawyers, were handed those letters.
"It is a shock to me that they would have any amount of authority from prison, especially after a conviction," the renter said.
The letter says Genesis Futures will keep paying the mortgage payments with the rent.
"It's disturbing that they can still continue to make money, even after these people have been essentially robbed," the renter said.
The Sawyers were ordered by a federal judge to pay nearly $6 million to the 33 investors they defrauded.
Those three homes, plus a $2 million one in Mexico, were talked about in court, with plans to be sold to pay off that debt.
As for the Bend renter, he would like to pay somebody else in the meantime.
"I would like to pay my rent to the investors," he said. "I would like to put my rent into an escrow account, and when these houses get paid for, they may make the mortgage on them and they may not. If they don't make the mortgage payments on them, then they are just pocketing my rent money every month."
The renter said his best move is to continue paying the Sawyers on time while he is looking for a different place to live.
So for now, the drama of the Sawyers continues.
"Now to wonder, are these mortgages going to be paid for?" the renter asked. "Are the banks going to come and knock on the door? It's not how I want to live my life. I never signed up for any of that. It wasn't anything I would have ever agreed to, especially just renting a house."
U.S. Department of Justice said it doesn't handle rental agreement issues -- those are between the tenant and landlord.
NewsChannel 21 also talked with the rental company by phone, and a woman told us no one could comment.
She did tell us the company sent out the letter to renters, and if they had any questions, the contact number was listed for them.
The Sawyers are in the Lane County Jail before they are transfered to federal prison.
Kevin will serve just over two years at the Sheridan Prison in Oregon and Tami got 9 years in an Oakland, California-area prison.

Album Review: Usher's Looking 4 Myself
Usher releases a great Summer R&B Album Looking 4 Myself
Usher's latest album is a monster. It's no surprise, since he has been one of the largest musical staples since the early '90s, an unbelievable feat in the inconsistent music industry, so we couldn't expect anything less. Usher's seventh studio album, Looking 4 Myself, which drops today, paints a comprehensive picture of what's going on in his personal life, showcases who he's been collaborating with over the past couple of months and demonstrates how he's grown musically since his first album in 1994. Save for the lackluster, overproduced album opener "Can't Stop Won't Stop," produced by will.i.am, it's likely that it's the best R&B album to come out this year.
Clocking in at about an hour, this 14-track album pulls inspiration from eras and genres which, if anyone else attempted it, would sound all over the map. For example, "Twisted," which features Pharrell, is chock-full of sounds and breakdowns Pharrell is known for, like heavy percussions and bass breakdowns. On the other side of the spectrum is the title track "Looking 4 Myself," penned by songwriter extraordinaire Rico Love: Usher delivers the lyrics in a hard-to-define "speak-singing" way which sounds nothing like anything else on the record. And yes, there are the tracks in which Usher sings in his signature falsetto voice, like "Dive" and "Lemme See," which features Rick Ross.
We also love the dance track collaborations Usher has done with the Swedish House Mafia. Every single track has summer written all over it! Closing the album with the glittery dance track "Euphoria" makes you want to hit the play button to listen to the whole album all over again.
On paper, conjoining '60s retro soul and common-day synth-heavy tracks sounds offensive to the ears. But leave it to Usher to deliver a solid album with just those traits. We look forward to spending many hot and sweaty nights dancing until dawn with this album spinning, and we think you'll look forward to it too.
Best Tracks: "Numb," "Looking 4 Myself," "Sins of My Father," "Show Me"
Skip These: "Can't Stop Won't Stop," "Lessons for the Lover"

Well, this is a major letdown. It's an SUV that barely offers any "U". This appears to be BMW's answer to the Ssangyong Actyon, which itself was a Korean Pontiac Aztek.You decide. Here's the Ssangyong:Here's the X6:
_______________________________In case I don't see you...Good Afternoon, Good Evening and Goodnight!
As pointless as it may be, i like how the X6 seems to look a lot more than the X5, which I am really not a big fan of, although the new one is an improvement.Plus, from what i understand the X6 is supposed to be sporty along the lines of a Cayenne, and maybe it will actually have some capability to go offroad. The X5 is about as good offroad as an Aveo is. Throw just some grass and smooth dirt at the thing and it is horrible.Plus, most people don't end up using the utility part of an SUV anyway, and just buy them to ride higher than cars, for image, and because they feel safer in a big vehicle, so why not make a sportier looking version to grab more of those types of customers.Overall though, i think they are mainly making the X6 to try to compete with or stick it to Porsche.
This looks like that concept SUV from Spyker, the Paris-Dakar I believe it was called. It does seem like a compromise, but then again, all sport oriented SUVs are. Hopefully this vehicle will be more like a car based SUV and not a truck based SUV if it's objective truly is performance. My other wish is that it wont be a fuel guzzler like the cayenne (I know that is highly unlikely). Basically what I am saying is that I would like this to be more like the Ford Edge than the Ford Explorer.
The automobile, object of lust and pride, of great rivalries and great kinsman-ship alike. Revered by all in each there own way.
Well, it is car based, just like the X5 which is built on a modified 5 series platform. It is basically the X5 platform though, and is just supposed to be a more sporty X5. SO it will be basically the same as the X5, but the suspension and engine packages may be different.BMW is working on a car based crossover though.
Wait hold up. You mean to tell me that this is not the crossover? I take everything I've just said and concur with the opinion that this vehicle is useless.
The automobile, object of lust and pride, of great rivalries and great kinsman-ship alike. Revered by all in each there own way.
I think all BMW SUVs are a joke. No suprise to me. If you want a BMW get a car.
Yea, this is an SUV, and not a crossover by any means. It is directly based on the M5 and is meant more to attract customers who want a 'sport' SUV. I guess it just serves the point of being a vehicle for people who like driving SUVs but don't actually need the utility.I agree that if you are going to buy a BMW a car is the best choice, but i feel that way about pretty much every higher end company that sells both cars and SUVs. I guess if i had to drive on dirt roads a lot a sporty SUV could be fun, but i agree it is basically pointless, but i guess there is a market out there for it.
I meant X5, not M5 by the way
Is it just me or does that thing remind me of the AMC Eagles of the early 1980's???With all of the Zebra Striping, it kinda resembles a car with large truck wheels and tires...
___________________________________________ Heaven: where the police are British, the cooks French, the mechanics German, the lovers Italian, and it is all organized and run by the Swiss. Hell: where the police are German, the cooks British, the mechanics French, the lovers Swiss, and it is all organized and run by the Italians.
hahaha, maybe like an Eagle on steroids and shoes that are too big.
It just looks awkward.... Not what I think when I think of BMW...

Yea, i saw some renderings for it that made it look nice, and it was the same basic shape and everything, so they may have been acurate. But going buy the spy photos it does look a little awkward in the rear of it.
It look smaller then the X5, should they call it the X4? either way, it look different, in a good way.
I worked with this chick last year who had a Subaroo sedan of some sorts....It said SUS on the rear decklid.....Suddenly it all makes sense....SPORT UTILITY SEDAN!!!!BMW is a day late a whole lotta dollars short on this test mule.And I generally really dig me some BMW product.
I like the overall looke of the thing but I think it would be better if it was more car oriented (not so tall). I like hatches like this one where there more tapered like ones of the 80's or like the current Maxx or Mazda 6 five door.
