It certainly isn't shocking that the New York Times wants to expand government-sponsored health insurance.
However, is it appropriate for the Editorial Board of the Times Blog to ask readers to pressure House Representatives to override a presidential veto?
Or, does this fall into a similar level of advocacy as a newspaper endorsing a politician running for office?
While you ponder the ramifications, the New York Times published the following Tuesday in a post entitled "S-chip: Call Your Representative":
The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote Thursday on whether to override the President's veto of a bill that would expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program, or S-chip, to cover millions more uninsured children.
The bill passed easily the first time around, by 265 to 159, but as many as 24 more votes may be needed to override the veto.
Those added votes will have to come from the ranks of legislators - mostly Republicans - who voted against the bill the first time around, or didn't vote for one reason or another. Take a look at the list of nay-sayers and see if your representative is one who needs to be pressured to switch sides.
The post then listed by name and district all those who voted against the bill, as well as those who didn't vote.
Question: Is there anything wrong with this, or has the Times clearly crossed the line into advocacy?
Finally, a couple of comments caught my eye as rather surprising for Times readers:

See if my legislator "needs to be pressured to switch sides"? I should send him a thank-you note for voting against this bloated entitlement the first time around.

If the NYTs supports it, I know how to vote. Socialized medicine by salami tactics. Government intervention in the medical care system since 1944 has done nothing but result in a vast mis-allocation of resources and poor results.

On its face, it is difficult to understand why the political left would support this expansion of SCHIP. First, the expansion does not focus on low-income children, but rather extends benefits to those clearly in the middle class and a few in the upper class.
Second, the expansion is funded by imposing taxes on the lower class. In short, SCHIP expansion results in the lower class paying for benefits of the middle and upper class-something that the political left should adamantly oppose.
But fairness has never been the primary concern of the political left on health care. The primary concern has been achieving a universal, government-run system.
Providing near universal coverage for children, and funding it via cigarette taxes, is a big step toward achieving that goal. "Children" are an effective propaganda tool. Anyone who opposes providing coverage for children can be attacked as heartless and cruel. Cigarette taxes are one of the few types of taxes that the public will not oppose. Indeed, anyone who opposes cigarette taxes can be attacked as being "pro tobacco."
The thinking of the political left seems to be that if government covers enough children of enough people high up the income ladder, then eventually enough of the public will be supportive of extending such government insurance to everyone. Call it "socialized medicine on the installment plan."

Damn that Bush. Doesn't he realize that we need the government to take care of our every need. Insure me. Feed me. House me. Make me leave a city below sea level when a Cat-4 Huricane is bearing down on me. I am totally helpless and need the government to run my life.

Fascinating. Four out of ten comments against expanding S-CHIP.
At the New York Times Blog?
Maybe there's hope for our country after all.

Well I've looking at the new TT for a while now and not decided if I actually like it. I loved the last gen of its appearance it was unique. This new one however looks like to much like a porsche.....any opinions??new old new Specs:247bhp at 6300rpm, along with 235lb ft of torque between 2500 and 3000rpm.0-62mph in 5.7sec
I love the new one! It's so much more agressive. I'll wait to drive the S-line before making my final decision.
I much prefer the new TT.
its still underpowered I see
Quote:its still underpowered I see
From the side, it does have an older 911 type shape, but if you put themn side by side, the differences would be clear. I like the new one, it looks nice to me.
"If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself" Ferdinand Porsche
The only thing I really don't like about the new one is the tail lights and rear end look, from profile, VERY similar to the current eclipse.
Quote:Quote:its still underpowered I see ...Thanks for the insightful post.
i cant wrap my head around a FWD roadster, but it does look better
They changed it 40/60
The TT has available Quattro AWD and I hear theres a whole bunch of high-performance variants coming up, such as the 350+ HP TTRS. Nobody knows just how much power its gonna have yet or even what engine that particular model will use.
[image]http://ohv.prettyblack.jp/1971roadrunner2.jpg [/image]
my friends mom has a last gen audi. his brother took me for a ride in it and it drives great! doesn't have the oomph of his camaro Z06 but around corners the camaro doesn't even compare.
Sorry, if you want an old one get it now, because they have special edition models DSG and V6 only with a black top! I think I like the old one way better! God 10 year ago I saw the TTS concept and fell in love with it then. Its being ruined just my 5 cents, like the old better than the new. *** thats life!

What is the most important information I should know about ribavirin (Copegus)?
Ribavirin is not effective when used alone to treat hepatitis C. It must be used together with an interferon alfa product (such as Pegasys, PegIntron, Sylatron, or Intron A) to treat chronic hepatitis C.
You should not take ribavirin if you are allergic to it, or if you have severe liver disease, autoimmune hepatitis, a hemoglobin disorder (anemia, thalassemia, and others), if you are also taking didanosine (Videx), or if you are pregnant woman, or a man whose female sexual partner is pregnant.
This medication can cause birth defects or death in an unborn baby.
If you are a woman, do not take ribavirin if you are pregnant.
If you are a man, do not take ribavirin if your female sexual partner is pregnant. An unborn baby could also be harmed if a man fathers the child while he is taking ribavirin.
Use at least two effective forms of birth control while either sexual partner is taking ribavirin, and for at least 6 months after treatment ends. Tell your doctor right away if a pregnancy occurs while either the mother or the father is taking ribavirin.
Ribavirin may decrease the number of red blood cells in your body. This is called anemia and it can be life-threatening in people who have heart disease or circulation problems. Your blood will need to be tested often. Your vision, liver function, and thyroid function may also need to be tested. Visit your doctor regularly.
Call your doctor at once if you have pale or yellowed skin, dark colored urine, fever, confusion, chest pain, weakness, or trouble breathing.

The economic and political landscape is turbulent and rapidly changing. Doesn't your company deserve world-class, objective advice and access to the latest strategies, solutions, tips and trends to achieve balance between your financial budget and employee's needs?
The pace of health care inflation will cause health insurance premiums to double every three to five years. A December 2008 Arizona Business Journal poll reported that thirteen percent of the employers surveyed said they expect an increase so large they may have to cease offering coverage.
Having a long-term strategy to effectively manage your benefit program and get employees engaged in the process is absolutely vital, especially in today's uncertain economic environment.
Identifying the right mix and level of coverage, employer/ employee contributions, and wellness and financial incentives that will save your company money over the long haul, reward employees for positive behavior and help control utilization is our specialty.
For the very best in analysis, design, implementation, communication and management of employee benefit programs,
Argeus Benefits Group LLC today.
Years ago, providing employee benefits was far less challenging. It typically meant choosing an insurance company with competitive rates and selecting a preferred provider network, deductible level and drug plan.
There are so many choices available today. With the advent of consumer-driven arrangements, wellness plans, health risk assessments and reward programs, the decision is a lot harder. Throw in government regulations and IRS tax code and it becomes an overwhelming task.
Having the right structure is critical to maintaining long term affordability. Your broker/ consultant must be part insurance agent and financial analyst, know the ins and outs of the many alternatives available, and be able to put all the pieces together in a well synchronized, compliant and financially sound package.
Argeus Benefits Group LLC knows this landscape and can help navigate your organization through the complex and challenging world of employee benefits.
Argeus Benefits Group LLC today for world-class, objective advice and access to the latest strategies, techniques, trends and tips that will maximize your savings and provide increased control over rising health plan costs.

Though I have a ton of promotional stuff coming up for my book that I'll probably eventually shove my foot in my mouth for. Hell, if it starts off slow I might do it intentionally to boost publicity.
So I just finished the first week of this 5/3/1 "Boring But Big" program and holy crap did that hurt. The simplicity and, frankly, the low weight had me thinking it'd be a breeze compared to what I'm used to, but by the 10th set of these core your lifts you're just done for. It's been fantastic in that painful way.

What do you guys think of this?
Basic template for some promotional T-Shirts to go with the launch of my website and PR campaign in a couple weeks (all diff colors available if that's your complaint)
Russlin jimmies since 1981
I started out with something REALLY motivating : my girl, in front of me and on my turf, telling another guy how great he looked after losing some weight. I already hated everything about myself by that point. Rage drove me back to the gym. Worked pretty damned well. Every time I started to wear down, I'd look in the mirror, then picture that guy. He wouldn't have a prayer of keeping up with me now (and he's about 15 years younger than me -- great feeling!).
I'm hardcore about being positive these days, but, whatever it takes, all excuses have to be set aside. Easier with a buddy, of course. The guy who got me to join Genesis 3 years ago stopped working out and started packing on the pounds. I was nice as could be with him and, despite the fact we had been friends for 12 years, he wouldn't open up to me until I said "or you could quit being such a b*tch, get off the @#$%ing couch, and teach me to kick box." He's training for a half marathon in June and has a triathlon on the horizon.
Not that that approach would work with everyone, of course, but it's a lot gentler than what got me off the couch.
"A New Machine", my journey and physical transformation :
so keith how is arson working out for you???
Back 2 Back Patches on my jacket/ Orange Zippers
Got back from Houston on Monday. Was supposed to be back Sunday, but the AWESOME airline (American) shafted my wife and I so we flew out Monday on United instead. Still haven't been to the gym. It's been two weeks. As soon as we got back I immediately started packing. We are moving right now so I'm pressed for time. With no one to baby sit or help during the day (all my buddies are at work) I've been moving everything that I can by myself. Today I'm moving heavy furniture with a couple friends who are coming by to help out. Next week it's back to work and back to the gym.
they are pretty cool. You had to include your USMC flavor . I like the phrase on the back. I have also seen a phrase for our combatives saying " Welcome to the Suck".Originally Posted by TheReverend:1611610
So I began to use quercetin again. It really helps when I run. When I used to use it I had my best run times in years. Today I also bought some new running shoes so I'm excited to break them in. They are cheaper than most and not all fancy but they are good for running.
I've got to be smart and stay the course without trying to over do it right away. I can't afford to work myself out until I can't move, and my total intention is to get lean. I feel like I have more energy now than I had before the start of the year. Last year when I would go hit the links, the limiting factor on the number of holes I could play using a push cart was how out of breath and tired I was toward the end. Now the only thing that limits me is my window of time that I get away from the wife and kids.
I got mind control while I'm here
You goin' hate me when I'm gone
Ain't no blood clot and no fear
I got hope inside of my bones
...which is a good thing because you can use that as motivation.
The saying on the back is the book title along with my future website that's being built now. Had a promotional material and marketing meeting about all this stuff on Friday and there's just SOOOOOOOOO much to do and be ready for, but I'm also excited to take this shot.
Already been RIDICULOUSLY busy with it and it's MONTHS before it's even released.

ephedrine + caffeine (Thank you to TheReverend for the tip)
yohimbine + caffeine
2 weeks with 1, then switch for 2 weeks. Started an 8 week cut last Thursday. Not going extreme -- 1800 calories, but that's a good drop from the 2500-3000 I had been running. I had my optimal weight loss results at 1800 calories. I dropped as low as 1200 for a while, but that was just too low for me.
"A New Machine", my journey and physical transformation :
I looked into Arson but it sporTs its like Hydroxycut. That stuff makes u feel cracked out without ephedrine. Thats probably horrible. Hey, but if it works , keep going but use caution like drinking tons of water.Originally Posted by keithbishop:1613671
Sunday I ran about 6.5 miles, Mon I rucked about 14 miles with a 50 lbs pack, and today I ran another 6.5 miles. I feel really tired. Next week I will see if I trained hard enough or not. I still have to run 6.5 miles on friday
Every day this week I've had homemade rice bowls for lunch. I'm hooked and it's super clean eating.
1 serving brown rice
Your preference of a serving of beans
Lean grown beef or shredded chicken
Low fat cheddar
Feeling like I'm cheating while having a damn near perfect PWO meal.

Wisconsin Summer Checklist
Last Updated: 8/16/2013
With so many fun summer activities in Wisconsin, fitting everything in might be a challenge. Somehow, it's already August…have you taken advantage of all the summer fun you can?
We'd hate for you to miss any of the excitement, so here's a handy checklist, featuring some of our top picks:
Splash up a storm at a water park.
- Noah's Ark in Wisconsin Dells is the biggest water park on Earth, and possibly the most fun water park in the universe.
Take the show (and the car, truck, motorcycle, or scooter) on the road with a scenic drive.
- Wisconsin's Great River Road, tracing 350 miles along the Mississippi, was declared the "prettiest drive" in America by Huffington Post readers in 2012. Drive it now, and again in the fall, to be amazed by the full spectrum of colors.
Go behind the scenes at a wine tour.
- Three Lakes Winery in Three Lakes is the home of Wisconsin's original cranberry wine, as well as other fruity delights. Guided tours on the hour, May-October.
Get your groove on at an outdoor concert.
- Jazz in the Park, in Milwaukee's Cathedral Square, attracts great musicians from across the country for free concerts every Thursday evening, June through September.
Hit the trails on a hike.
- The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore has over 50 miles of trails, on 12 islands. Lighthouses, farms, quarries, caves…the varied scenery is sure to keep you energized.
Rock a boat.
- Good Nuf Boat Rentals in Hazlehurst offers pontoons, fishing, and ski boats for rental across the Lakeland area. (Find more boating fun here.)
Pack a picnic and hit the beach.
- North Beach in Kenosha Racine has been named a Parents magazine "Top 10 Family Friendly Beach" and one of USA TODAY's "51 Great American Beaches."
Find some thrills at an amusement park.
- Bay Beach in Green Bay has sixteen classic rides. Free admission, free parking, and ride tickets are just 25c each. (Tip: Check our A-Z of Wisconsin amusement parks!)
Already get through the list? Find a thousand more things to do on our Summer Playlist.
Do you have more must-do's for the Wisconsin summer fun checklist? Share them with Travel Wisconsin's community on Facebook or Twitter.This entry was posted in Things to Do

Sebastien Bourdais
Finally, Sebastien Bourdais wins a race. It's been 2,443 days since Bourdais won the 2007 Champ Car season finale in Mexico City. Bourdais dominated the first race in Toronto on his way to winning the for Jimmy Vasser and KV Racing. Hopefully more to come from this man.
Mike Conway
Mike Conway stole another one this season. Conway is almost as good of a strategist as he is a driver. Deciding to put on the slicks in a still damp track is what won him the second race. Conway and Ed Carpenter Racing have proven to be a great combination.
Tony Kanaan
Double podium for Tony Kanaan, his third in three races, is showing us why Chip Ganassi chose to put Kanaan in the seat in the offseason. It's a sad case of too little too late to make a championship run though.
Will Power
Will Power had a very good, and more importantly, a very clean weekend in Toronto, including some very hard but very fair racing in race two with Helio Castroneves. Despite losing four points on Helio in the championship battle, Power is still well within range to take back the lead heading into Milwaukee.
Ryan Hunter-Reay
For the second straight season, Ryan Hunter-Reay has shit the bed in Toronto. In race one, Hunter-Reay got into a collision in turn three with Tony Kanaan. In race two, RHR limped home after getting caught up in a mess, once again in turn three. Championship hopes are still alive, but he needs to nail the next couple of races.
Juan Pablo Montoya
Juan Pablo Montoya will want to get out of Toronto as soon as possible, as a P18 and P19 finish was all that he could manage. Time is running out for him to make a championship run. Can he rebound in Mid-Ohio?
Carlos Munoz
Not sure what happened to Carlos Munoz this weekend, but it is one to forget for sure. He remained consistent though, finishing P17 in both races. Still, a weekend to forget for Rookie of the Year frontrunner Munoz.
Luca Filippi
Luca Filippi, who has been so quick in his four races this season, always has something go wrong in the race, like a crash or a spin. This weekend, he had two solid results going and then once again biffed both races. That's no way to maintain a ride.

For the record, I applaud Indycar for stopping the race on Saturday and deciding not to go through with the race. It would have been the world's biggest shit show. It was the lack of communication and the lack of established rules that got my blood boiling. Also, I'm a bit confused as to why Will Power didn't get a penalty for hitting pit equipment. And don't give me that bullshit that the gun was in the way, because Scott Dixon will remind you of a time when pit equipment was in his way (Sonoma 2013). Then, in race two, the red flag was thrown with five minutes left in the race. Again, totally cool with that. I applaud the decision. But once again, what's the established rule for these procedures? Does anyone know? Do we just shoot first and aim later or...?
Let me know what you think!

The Register lands in Australia
Meet the local team, sign up for email, win a fondleslab
We took a while to make it official, but The Register has opened an Asia-Pacific bureau based in Australia.
To celebrate – and drum up an email list worthy of our soon-to-launch all-Australian newsletter - we want to give our Australian readers a 'New iPad'.
Our new bureau has our first-ever full time APAC Editor, long-time tech journalist Simon Sharwood, who joins our current Australian contributors Richard Chirgwin and Natalie Apostolou.
The writers all have a mission to bring you even more tales from the worlds of technology and science – but now with added focus on stories that make a difference to readers in Australia and Asia.
Feel free to write to the team to let them know what you want from The Register in this neck of the woods. And do feel free to let them know things that you think we should cover, especially if they're not public knowledge.
But before you do that, we need your email address and some other details. If you give us your email address, we'll pop you in the draw for a fondleslab and sign you up for our new Australian newsletter.
You've also got the chance to opt-in to messages from our sponsors.
The one item of fine print is that to be entered into the draw, we need your help to coin a term that we can use to describe The Register in Australia. In Europe and the USA "El Reg" does nicely. We're searching for an antipodean epithet to use when referring to ourselves and have pulled together a list of the ones we like best. Choose your preferred epithet and, if you end up in the majority, we may pick you as a fondleslab winner. We've two to give away and will draw at random.
You can make your choice, sign up and register right here, we'll do the rest.
(If you already have a Reg account fear not, you can still enter the competition, just log in to your account before visiting the link above).
A few other details: You'll need an Australian postal address to be eligible to win an iPad. Kiwis and others around the region: hold tight, your turn comes soon. The contest opens on Monday, September 24th, 2012, closed on October at 11:59 PM on Sunday, October 21st, 2012. We'll contact the winners in or before the week of November 5th, 2012.

I have only used this product for three shaves. I have to say that I like that it is unscented. The Pre-Shave oil is a must and I do like the one that come is this kit because it is in a pump bottle and you get the same amount every time. the shaving cream is thick and I have had to dilute it with some warm water in order to have it spread evenly on my face. The aftershave is nothing special, I still end up using a different aftershave and leave the one it the kit alone. If you are looking for a shave kit I do recommend this one.4

The Fuji X-Pro 1 Shoots Downtown L.A. in One Day | I Joe Marquez
See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1
I only used the 18mm and 60mm lenses in L.A. The 60 for closeups and tight graffiti shots; the 18 for everything else. My equipment is light and fits nicely in my small, discrete leather bag. The superb Fuji 35/1.4 lens stayed in the bag. Cool photo ops in the Toy District, Grand Central Market, Bradbury Building, Olvera Street and the Standard Hotel. Would love to shoot from the upper floors of the Bradbury Building. Views and sunset shooting from the rooftop of the Standard Hotel are wonderful. Fuji's upcoming 14mm lens would be ideal at many of these locations.

35mm Film and the Golden Rectangle | Fotogenetic
See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1
The origins of the aspect ratio of 35mm film can be traced to Oskar Barnack, an employee of Leitz Camera in Germany. Barnack believed the 3:2 aspect ratio to be the ideal choice for his invention, the first 35mm camera ever, dubbed the "Ur-Leica". After WWI, Barnack convinced his boss, Ernest Leitz II, to begin production of similar cameras. In 1925, Leitz Camera released the first Leica and the rest is history.

Another AF oddity / tip for X-Pro1 | Devwild on DPreview.com
See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1
Try laying the AF point across an area where the only contrast is a horizontal dividing line between two objects – in my case the top of a TV or picture frame vs the wall. The AF will struggle to focus, and depending on the circumstances, fail to lock more often than not. However, tilt the camera by 30-45 degress, or even 90 degrees, and it will lock – every time. Note that 90 degrees – horizontal lines don't seem to cause a problem in portrait mode, only lines parallel to the long edge of the frame.
Useful tip?

The Future of Digital Cameras | Nasim Mansurov
See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1
Ever since I got a taste of some of the latest compact cameras from Fuji, Sony and Nikon, I have been thinking more and more about where we are headed in terms of cameras and lenses. What is the future of digital cameras and where will we be in 5 or even 10 years? This question came up in my conversation with a fellow photographer, so after discussing this topic for a little while, I decided to put some of my thoughts together and come up with what I think the future of digital cameras will be like.
See on mansurovs.com
See on Scoop.it – Fuji X-Pro1
This certainly isn't the first review about the new Fuji camera, so anyone interested in photo gear is already fully informed that the image delivered by the X-Pro 1 is of an awesome quality. I mean, REALLY awesome. Definition, chromatic values, tones, contrast, dynamic range, sensitivity, low and high lights detail, virtually-non-existent noise: everything looks like in a photographer's dream, except it's for real. Such a stunning quality is to be credited to a perfectly tuned sensor-processor-firmware pipeline, as well as to the terrific Fujinon 35mm I could test, which IMHO outperforms more than one Leica glass four or five times as priced.

About Limousin
Herd Health
Sire Catalogue
Live Herdbook
Loop head is well known to listeners of Radio 1 as it is one of the locations for daily weather forecasts. Loop head is also home to an exceptionally high quality suckler herd owned by Patrick Haugh, Kilclogher, Kilrush, Clare. Patrick farms 150 acres owned and 85 rented. The herd comprises of 125 cows, with half calving in Autumn and the other half in Spring. The herd is also dominated by Limousin blood, mainly ¾ bred but with a few Limousin x Belgian Blue. The objective on the farm is very clear – to produce quality weanlings with very good shape. Replacement heifers are mainly sourced in Ennis mart but distance is no object for the "right one".
Clare breeder Declan Griffin with Patrick Haugh
When asked "Why Limousin" Pats reply is "As suckler cows they meet all the requirements - good calvers due to a good pelvic opening, plenty of milk, longevity and have a good cull value, what else could you ask for". Pat is anxious to maintain milk in the herd and will be looking to new genetics to provide it. Two sires he feels that have done this up to now for him are Hortensia and Malibu.
Along with running Limousin bulls Pat also keeps two Belgian Blues, he finds Limousin cows good to calf to any sire. It is very seldom that I have a caesarean section but when I do, the Limousin cows recover very quickly and that is probably why they are in such demand for recipients in embryo transfer work.
A quick look at the map and you will see that Loop Head is very exposed to the Atlantic Ocean. This means that cows are housed early with a late turn-out. Pat has good housing facilities with the cows on slats and the calves having the choice of an indoor and outdoor woodchip pad. Straw usage is kept to a minimum due to the high cost with the long distance to the grain fields in the midlands being the contributing factor. Pat also has a strong emphasis on hygiene, especially in regards to calving and calf rearing.
Commerical Limousin cows on the farm of Patrick Haugh
One of the bulls Pat has been using is Moloskey Showman, a Gamin son, purchased from local breeder Brendan Clancy. Recently a second Limousin bull – Doonbeg Champ (by Mas du Clo) was purchased from another local breeder Declan Griffin . According to Pat, both bulls were not bought cheap but they are exactly what he is looking for with loads of muscle to transmit to their progeny.
Weanlings are mainly sold in Ennis mart and some of the prices obtained are a true testimony to the quality of Pats stock with a recent batch of 6 weanlings weighing 450 kgs realising €1,560 a piece and a single heifer weighing 375 kgs realising €1,800. To cap off a successful 2008, Pat also attended the Winter fatstock show and sale in Kilkenny where he scooped the top price of €3,850 for a weanling heifer.
Pat is firmly committed to Limousin and is quick to praise their role on his farm on the job they do, in particular as an easy care suckler dam. Going forward he is always going to look for quality in his cows but will be also conscious of their milk ability.
Finally Pat is well aware of the uncertain future that farming holds however he is firmly resolute that its all about being profitable. "Dead Calves Don't Pay" and to be profitable you must produce a live quality calf each year and that's why he has invested in Limousin.

Eminem Unveils New Song Rap God
Eminem has unveiled a track from his forthcoming album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2.
Titled Rap God, the song is produced by DVLP and clocks in at more than six minutes in length.
The track begins with what appears to be vintage movie dialogue, before Shady starts in: "I'm beginning to feel like a rap god..."
Among the other fast-paced lyrics are references to himself as "RapBot" and an acknowledgement of his rivals with the line: "Rappers are hungry / looking at me like it's lunch time."
Other snippets include "There was a time when I was king of the underground" and "when you appear with the skin colour of mine, you get too big..."
And he goes on to reference the Columbine High School massacre of 1999 - which infamously got him in trouble because of a lyric in I'm Back.
He then raps: "See if I get away with it now that I ain't as big as I was."
His new album is set for release on 5 November.

If last season was already bad enough, Arkansas junior kicker Zach Hocker suddenly found himself benched during the final game with LSU.
It was the capper to a season that had been looked to with great expectations, but then head coach Bobby Petrino was fired and the year spiraled to a 4-8 campaign from there.
"Last season that wasn't our team as a whole," Hocker said. "Tyler Wilson and a lot of the big-name guys on our team just had an off year. I don't know if that was the adversity of the challenge we faced or just all the problems coming our way going into last season."
Hocker (6-0, 180) certainly didn't look as confident as he did as a freshman and sophomore, when he made 37-of-46 field goals and 111-of-112 extra points.
As a junior, the former Russellville standout was 65-of-65 on PATs, but 11-of-18 on field goals – including missing a pair of momentum-swinging field goals early against LSU and being pulled for John Henson.
"All last season, I just wasn't confident in myself," Hocker said. "I don't know if it was the chemistry on the field. I don't know if it was the adversity that our team faced, but I was timid. I didn't go out on the field like I did freshman and sophomore year saying 'I know I am going to make this kick.'
"I honestly can't pinpoint what it was," Hocker said. "I might have just started off slow and then made it a mental thing. But this spring game felt more confident than ever and I would like to carry it over into the fall."
One reason that happened is because new Razorback head coach Bret Bielema came in and asked Hocker to pick out both his holder and his snapper.
"I just feel like this year our team is so much more confident, especially with myself – working with three guys in my unit that I was with all day long, a snapper and holder that I am friends with on and off the field and we have nice chemistry built up," Hocker said. "I would love to see a much more consistent season, much like my freshman and sophomore season. So if we can get to that point for this next fall, then I will be happy."
Hocker does admit he was a little taken aback when he learned that defensive line coach Charlie Partridge was going to coach the kickers.
"Coach Partridge is the D-Line/Specialists coach, which is a weird combination and I didn't know what to think about it," Hocker said. "But he is from Wisconsin and he actually does a lot of work with (professional kicking coach) Jamie Kohl and those other top guys that work up north with all the specialists.
"He actually knows what he is talking about," Hocker added. "If you are having a film session with a d-lineman or a kicker, he can break it down and you can say 'hey, that might be it."
Hocker was 16-of-19 on field goals as a freshman after being brought to campus as a punter and then winning the kicking job by default.
He believes he has the best coach he has had since arriving at Arkansas.
"A lot of coaches think they know the kicking game," Hocker said. "They think they know what kickers are doing wrong, but really they have no idea. But it is nice to know that Coach Partridge and Coach Bielema both have some experience out there and actually know what they are talking about.
"It's nice to be critiqued by a guy that you can look up to and actually know he is going to help you," Hocker added. "(He) knows it moreso than any other coach that I think I have ever worked with in the past."
Hocker was listed as both the first-team kicker and punter on the depth chart released on Monday.
Austrailian-born Sam Irwin Hill – a junior college transfer due in this summer – will compete with Hocker for the punting job.
Irwin Hill averaged 45 yards per boot for City College of San Francisco last season while Hocker averaged 45 yards per punt while a senior at Russellville.
"Whatever happens, happens," Hocker said. "I am the punter now so I would love to compete at that spot. I have talked to a lot of older guys that have done all three and they have loved it. I did it in high school and I know it is a lot more kicking at the collegiate level, but I would love to compete at all three.
"Sam is an awesome kid, an awesome guy and I know Coach (Bielema) did an awesome job recruiting him and if he ends up being the punter, no big deal," Hocker added. "I wouldn't have any hard feelings, but I am going to compete at the spot and competition will bring out the best in both of us."

Merry and Bright
This cheerful card was fast and fairly easy to make. The colourful background is not in the typical Christmas colours, but it gives a modern youthful look to the card.
Frosty, Shimmery Snowglobes

Snowman GlobeEveryone loves a snow globe. These ones are no exception. For these ones, I used acetate for the glass to make them more realistic.
I kept the backgrounds simple so as not to detract from all the details inside the globes. For both cards I used a snowflake sky that is shimmery. It provided just the right background for the snowman and the church.
Country Church Snow Globe
Each globe has sparkly snow inside, but the Peace globe is an actual shaker. Another time, I would not bother with fussing to make it an aperature. It was cute enough without that feature, but the OCD in me always strives to make things as realistic as possible. Sometimes, simpler is best.

Elegant Blue Christmas Tree
5:01 PM | Posted by Grace Baxter | Edit Post
In Quiet Elegance
Sometimes it is refreshing to pause and just reflect on the blessings of Christmas. In designing this card, I chose to step away from my usual fussing with details.
The sentiment is simple. The tree is stately and elegant. Blue sparkly cardstock gives it life and shimmer. And for extra sparkle, I added an abundance of crystals.
Background of Noel
In the late 14th century, "Noel" meant "feast of Christmas" and from old French, noel means the Christmas season in reference to the birthday of Christ. As a masculine proper name, it means "born on Christmas". In that case, perhaps I should have named my Christmas Day son Noel (which would be pronounced "nowell" in its masculine form.)
Inside, there is a personal message.

I.P. Freely - On The Organic Cabbages
In today's issue of the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry a report from researchers at the University of Kuopio in Finland finds that human urine is a great organic fertilizer for plants, especially cabbages.
What makes this post great for today is the fact that the diligent Finnish researchers collected the urine for their experiments by going door to door in the neighborhood. How's that for trick or treat! Then they doused the fresh pee (urine is sterile and contains nitrogen) on rows of cabbages, with a control row of conventionally fertilized cabbage.
The researchers found that the peed-on cabbages grew slightly faster and had slightly better biomass than the controls. But lest you think this is all a big joke - the researchers made the cabbages into sauerkraut, and found there was absolutely no difference in taste between the test cabbages and the control cabbages.
Especially in poorer parts of the world, the researchers concluded, the ancient art of using urine as a free fertilizer should be revived, and might also increase the use of composting toilets (where the #1 and #2 go to separate bins) to help easily gather the urine. The researchers also said use of urine as a fertilizer is increasing in Finland.

Curacao BraceletMarch 2, 2016
I purchased the druk beads, 8mm & 6mm, the 5mm spacers, 2.1mm spacers, the chain, oval jump ring and the 3 ring tube clasp.
I want to make the Curacao bracelet. I like the colors of the beads and the chain is nice quality also.
I usually make jewelry and give it away but want to make this for myself.

Not as great as the first time I orderedJanuary 4, 2014
The first time I ordered these they were drop dead gorgeous. This most recent order they looked as though they'd been roughed up, or shaken up, they all had multiple scratches that were clearly visible to the naked eye. It really ruined they're look and radiance. Not sure what I'll do with them since I would never try to pass these off on jewelry to my clients.

This past Friday, February 14, 2014, the Hatchett Physical Education department hosted our annual Bike Rodeo. We had student in grades Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade participate at their designated times throughout the day. A San Antonio police officer for the Safety Unit come out to manage the event. We also had a handful of parent volunteers organized by PTA who took part in judging and scoring portions of the event.
A special recognition to 5th Grade patrols who modeled safety on the course. They were an important part in how smooth the event ran. These students who are patrols also demonstrate the academic standing to allow them to be a part of such school functions. They ran each students' score sheet back and forth, quickly and with a smile.
Students' bikes are first inspected and given an inspection score. Then students maneuvered their bikes through four skill events as outlined and explained on the blacktop. Students received a score for each skill event. Finally, all scores were tallied and the winners ranked.
First, Second, and Third places were awarded for boys at each grade level. First, Second, and Third places were awarded for girls at each grade level. Only the First place winners will advance to the city-wide competition to be held later.
For information about the results, please contact either physical education teacher, Mr. Gamez or Mr. Villarreal at 210.397.6890 ext. 3146.

Arming Advocates
"Did you say you work for a pharmaceutical company?" asks parent #1.
"How does that make you feel? I mean, I've been reading some pretty negative stuff about your industry."
How such challenged mothers or fathers answer could very well depend on whether or not they've attended one of the PharmaCorps workshops being conducted by PhRMA, the industry's trade association. Those who have not attended might well turn defensive or tongue-tied—or just walk away mumbling. But those who have participated are more likely to answer calmly, factually and persuasively.
According to Ed Belkin, PhRMA's VP for communications & public affairs, and Christian Clymer, senior director, affordability and access, the program was started this year as an effort to enlist pharma employees in providing the public with accurate information. The premise is simple: the trade association's member companies have a total of some 450,000 employees, and all of them should be willing and able to speak up for the industry they work for.
As Belkin explains, "We wanted to put our arms around ways to engage and educate and energize half a million people who are potential spokespersons for the industry. We certainly know that there are people who are critical about the state of healthcare, and we want our people to be armed to be able to respond and to present the facts."
Adds Clymer, who is director of PharmaCorps, "Every one of those close to half a million people has a compelling story to tell. They work every day to make sure that somebody's life is improved, that somebody's life is saved. More of those stories need to be heard, and PharmaCorps is a great way to help get all of these employees engaged in their communities and thus get the industry's stories out to the public."
The key to achieving this objective is training—training that not only reinforces knowledge but builds confidence. So far, 18 PhRMA member companies have signed up for the program. "The public's knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry," Clymer goes on, "is typically an inch deep and a mile wide. The knowledge of our employees, on the other hand, tends to be a mile deep but only an inch wide. What PharmaCorps is designed to do is to extend both of those experiences, so that by talking to our employees they in turn can talk about all the things industry does on behalf of patients."
This "talking to employees" typically takes place at workshops conducted on site at the cooperating companies. Among the topics being stressed are the way the industry's patient assistance programs help the uninsured obtain essential medicines, the value of prescription medicines in improving the quality of life and how the industry continuously pursues innovation in the treatment of diseases and disabilities. Other workshops deal with Medicare drug benefits, the pros and cons of personal importing of Rx drugs, and the widely discussed issue of drug safety.
The way it works is that PhRMA member companies that see the value of the program invite PharmaCorps to come run employee workshops. As of the end of June, PharmaCorps had conducted some 30 such sessions.
Schering-Plough, by way of example, has held two workshops at two locations. According to Paul Ehrlich, senior manager, legislative affairs, the program "tied in nicely" with the company's own objectives. In an online survey of the staff, the employees expressed an overwhelming desire to know more about the issues facing the industry, and the turnout when the workshops were announced confirmed it. At the larger site, attendance ranged from 100-150, with about 50 at the smaller one.
The topics at these initial sessions (based on the positive feedback of those attending, Schering-Plough plans to schedule more) were the Medicare drug benefit and patient assistance programs—topics that have proved to be the most popular overall. The one on patient assistance programs sets out to explain the problem: that more than 45 million Americans have no health insurance, and that the number continues to grow. The presenters then go on to describe the ways the industry is trying to increase access to medicine and healthcare services by seeing to it that no one goes without essential medication because of the inability to pay. A fact sheet describing the workshops sums up that those attending leave with "an understanding of the issue of the uninsured, and how the industry is a key player in bringing health to Americans."
A third popular workshop topic is an overview of the value of prescription products, with the objective that those attending:
■ Gain knowledge of how Rx medicines improve patients' lives.
■ Get an overview of recent Rx drug advances and the impact on disease management.
■ Improve their understanding of how drug discovery works.
■ Develop an understanding of the economic value of prescription medicines and how they help to control healthcare costs by reducing the need for emergency room visits, long-term care, or hospitalization.
Workshops might also deal with issues of particular relevance to the sponsoring company or hot topics making headlines in the media, and depending on the topic, the workshops attract researchers, administrative or financial people, sales or manufacturing staff, or a cross-section of all employees.
Schering-Plough scheduled its workshops as lunch-and-learn sessions, but timing, too, is flexible, as is the makeup of the faculty. Schering-Plough decided to have two speakers at each workshop, matching the expertise of a PhRMA rep with that of someone from its own staff. Sometimes, according to Clymer, the presenters are all PhRMA staff; on other occasions they may be supplemented by outside experts, such as a nurse or a researcher.
According to the program's Web site (www.pharmacorps.org), employees who elect to participate become eligible for a recognition program. The basic goal is to make sure those attending leave with greater ease and confidence in talking about their jobs in private conversations, but the payoff for industry goes even further. After attending a workshop, employees have volunteered for speaking engagements, while others have felt encouraged to write letters to their local and regional papers, or to contact elected officials. The common theme is that they're willing to speak up whenever they feel that the industry's story needs to be heard.
"The greatest resource available to the pharmaceutical community," Clymer sums up, "is its hundreds of thousands of employees working every day to improve our nation's health."
SIDEBAR: PharmaCorps gives employees the tools to benefit the industry
PhRMA President and CEO Billy Tauzin, commenting on the suc-cess of PharmaCorps, told MM&M: "Every employee makes a difference…But even though our companies improve life for patients here and around the world every day, it is relatively easy for employees to lose sight of the tremendous value our companies deliver to society.
"PharmaCorps was developed to help employees view their work in a broader context and to establish a tangible connection between what they do and the patients they help. By participating in PharmaCorps, they are able to learn about the issues facing our companies and how to respond to critics.
The program is designed to harness employees' pride in what they do and give them the tools they need to start changing the conversation about biopharmaceutical companies and the medicines we make.
"PharmaCorps has reached thousands of employees through its workshops, publications and Web site. PhRMA is committed to expanding the program's reach so that every biopharmaceutical company employee feels empowered to take constructive action in support of our common work."

Sanitation Workers Caught Taking Bribe
A veteran Sanitation Department worker from Far Rockaway and his partner were busted last week for accepting a cash bribe and carting off lots of construction debris that they shouldn't have touched, according to city investigators.
Charles Fleming, 42, of Far Rockaway and Ronald Loosen, of New Hyde Park, were arrested on May 25 after the Department of Investigation videotaped them loading 40 large black trash bags from a house in Bellerose into their city-owned garbage truck, according to DOI Commissioner Rose Gill Hearn. Investigators also allege that Fleming and Loosen accepted $100 from a contractor to remove old siding and debris from the site.
DOI began investigating Fleming and Loosen after Sanitation received a complaint, via 311, that the men were removing commercial refuse from a construction site. Sanitation officials forwarded the complaint to DOI, whose motto is, "Get the Worms Out of the Big Apple."
"City employees simply may not take money or anything of value, other than their city salaries, for doing their jobs, and they may not freelance on city time and use the city's equipment for their own financial gain," said Gill Hearn. "Now, two Sanitation Workers are charged with ignoring those well-known rules and face not only the loss of their city jobs and benefits but criminal prosecution and possibly jail."
Fleming and Loosen, who have a combined 35 years with the Sanitation Department, each received a base salary of more than $57,000 per year. They were assigned to the Queens 13 garage, located at 153-67 146 Avenue. They are charged with bribe receiving and official misconduct and face up to seven years in prison.

The biggest problem with dating apps is they are all based on looks alone. And while being attracted to someone is an important part of chemistry, as we all know personality can make a person appear a lot more or a lot less attractive. Well, a new dating App called Willow actually puts a member's personality before his or her looks in a really interesting way.
Rather than swipe left or right through profile pics, you swipe through faceless questions posed by other members. When one catches your eye, you answer – the whole point being to start dialog before seeing your potential mate.
Questions can be as basic as, "What is the first thing you would do if you won the lottery?" to as silly as, "If your hair was a type of pasta, what kind of pasta would it be?" If your response gets a reply then you can start sharing photos and more personal information.
It's a neat concept that sounds like a lot of fun ... and if things don't work out romantically, it might be a great way to make friends. (Elle)

Radiologists can estimate the risk of death to a SARS patient by the seventh day from the onset of symptoms by using chest radiographs, according to a new study by researchers in Hong Kong. This early determination can allow a physician to better tailor treatment for the SARS patient.
The researchers analyzed 4,369 chest radiographs from 313 SARS patients from the time of their admission into the hospital until death (in 48 of the patients) or discharge from the hospital. The researchers found that by looking at the amount of lung opacification (white shadows in the lungs on the radiographs where black areas denoting air should be), they could predict with a reasonable degree of accuracy whether the case of SARS in the patient was a potentially fatal one.
"SARS usually presents as a chest infection. Similar to other types of chest infections, the lungs may show areas of opaqueness when a chest radiograph is performed," said Gregory E. Antonio, MD, of the Chinese University of Hong Kong and lead author of the study. More than half of the patients who died from the disease had greater than 20% lung opacification on the seventh day, whereas 86% of those who survived had less than 10% lung opacification on the seventh day.
According to the study authors, speed is of great importance in an epidemic like SARS, both in terms of diagnosis and of assessing progress during treatment. "Our findings could help decide on a change in the treatment for a patient, such as introducing new drugs, using more aggressive treatment or transferring the patient to a specialized unit. They also might help in establishing measures that could reduce the mortality rate of the disease," said Dr. Antonio.
The study appears in the March 2005 issue of the American Journal of Roentgenology.

My cat is 14 yrs old.
My cat is 14 yrs old. Just recently I've noticed him losing a lot of weight. When I pet him i can feel bones and I never could feel them before. He is an indoor cat and we've been feeding him purina one indoor formula. Now I've noticed his skin has turned yellow and I think it's jaundice but when we give him treats its like he's never ate anything before. Yesterday I decided to buy him a different brand of food and I bought him canned food. Right when I opened it he went crazy and started pushing his way in to the food. He ate the whole can and the drank water. My question is should i buy him a senior brand of food and buy him canned to fatten him up or is he really sick? What should I do?

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
He sounds like he is very sick, not to scare you, but jaundice is a sign of liver failure. He needs a vet. Maybe they can just give you their opinion without having to do lots of tests. Hunger like that is also a sign of diabetes. If this were my cat, I would give him whatever food he wanted, however much he wants. Senior brand is not necessary at all, in fact, it usually has less calories than regular food, something he does not need, he needs more calories. He really needs to see a vet though, so you can get a diagnosis, and then if he is very ill, which it sounds like he could be, you will know how to handle his diet properly. I would avoid the stuff the vet sells, especially if he is in liver or kidney failure, jsut give him what he wants to eat, what he enjoys eating. Best of luck to you and kitty. 14 is no spring chicken, that's a pretty good age to get a cat to.

I agree with Beep... definitely make a vet appointment asap! Rapidly losing weight is a sign that something is wrong with your pet... I hope that he gets well soon! ^_^

After its success bringing down that insensitive prick John Edwards, the National Enquirer is doubling down on marital havoc for defeated presidential candidates – this time publishing a "World Exclusive" alleging that Cindy McCain has been "two-timing" on her husband, former GOP presidential nominee John McCain.
The tabloid – which broke the story of Edwards affair three months ago – now says Mrs. McCain has publicly lip-locked on several occasions with a man who according to eyewitnesses resembles "a washed-up '80s rock musician."
More on that in a minute …
In fact, the Enquirer claims that the picture below (click it for a larger view) is the Cindy and her mystery man at a 2006 Music Festival in Tempe, Arizona:
Hmmmm … it sort of looks like Cindy McCain.
Of course it also sort of looks like an ultrasound pic ;).
Or for that matter Pangaea before it broke up to form all the other continents
Which was like what? 160 million years ago?
Anyway, it'll be interesting to see if the Enquirer follows up with any pictures that are actually in focus.
It'll also be interesting to see just how mad McCain is at our founding editor Sic Willie for playing tonsil hockey with his wife – which he's obviously been known to do in the past.
UPDATE – Oh yeah … here's the original story for all you "enquiring minds" out there. Get it? "Enquiring minds?"

He was chairman of the European Network of Excellence COLOG Net and he is the founding editor of the Springer Lecture Notes in AI (LNAI) and other scientific journals and book series in logic and AI. In 1983 he organized in Karlsruhe the first large conference on AI, IJCAI, in Germany and he is one of the initiators of the German conference on AI (former GWAI). He is a fellow of the GI as well as the EurAI.
He was appointed to several international advisory boards of research institutions as well as government committees, including as chairman of the Portuguese advisory board of CENTRIA, the advisory board of the Icelandic AI Institue I3M, reviewer and member of the advisory board of the Carnegie Mellon University (USA), the Advisory Committee of the Australian National University (Canberra), and the Institute for Language, Logic and Computation in Amsterdam. He was an advisor and reviewer for research in Ireland, the OECD, the Fifth Generation Computing Initiative in Japan and further European institutions, in particular the former GDR, Bulgaria and China. He is an adjunct professor at Fudan University (Shanghai, China) and founder and co-president of the International Federation on Computational Logic (IFCoLog).
