Making A Difference ({Two yean ago, I arrived in New Braunfels after living in Washington, DC. I was an "Auslander". But, by virtue of the warm and generous people I meet here daily, I feel that I am a welcome part of our community, with a stake in its future. New Braunfels is a prime example of a community whose people are involved; in schools, the Plaza Lighting Festival, the Conservation Society, Wasserfest, and the list goes on. My owm involvement focuses on a group known as Leadership New Braunfels. Leadership New Braunfels is a forum of twenty-eight people whose interest is the future of New Braunfels. We are enriched through shared experiences, knowledge, and commitment to our community. This enrichment builds a knowledge foundation covering community business, government, and healthcare infrastructure. The most important element of our work is learning more about the lifeblood of New Braunfels- its people. Involvement in the community does not require association with a specific organization. We, the people of New Braunfels, must continue progressing towards a brighter future. This future must be our own design. However, without personal commitment, our future ends up being designed by someone else. As rn illustration, imagine someone moving into your house while you're still in it You don't like the idea, but you were too busy to speak up. By the next morning, they painted the house a color you don't like, put your family photos in a closet, and cut all of your trees down. We can avoid similar problems in New Braunfels when we get involved in our community's future. Ghandi once said, "Whatever you do may seem insignificant, but it is very important that you do it." Involvement is a talent everyone has that is so often underutilized. Involvement doesn't require special skills, tools, personalities, or money. The only commodity it asks us for is time. Our time and personal involvement carry far more clout than gold. The foundation of our great nation is based on the power of the people and it starts in our community, our workplaces, and at home. Adi our past and future successes start at home. Pvents, get involved with your children. Children, learn to understand and work with your parents. Grandparents and neighbors, be a part of someone's life. Develop trust in someone and adopt them as a family member. Quality time with another individual is very important to every human being's existence and our community's. We are in a world of GO, GO, GO. Slow down and cultivate your life and your community. Learn to trust and shed the selfish nature of the most recent years. Be involved, show you care, stand your ground or help someone else take a stand....give of yourself. Money and assets change hands countless times a day ....while your involvement md actions stand the test of time. It's easy lo rank a community based on commerce, law enforcement, and other factors to which numbers cm be assigned. The factor most often left out because of immeasurability is you. Nevertheless, the numbers undeniably reflect our involvement. Improvements in schools; law enforcement, healthcare, taxes, and commerce just don't happen- we make them happen. New Braunfels is our community- our home. It's up to us to decide how to paint it, where to place our family photos, and what we'll do with our trees. No one else cm do that for us, and no one else should, it doesn't work. Think of how enriched this community will be on the Horizon when we work together. Scripture names three virtues .... "Faith, Hope and Love; the greatest of these is Love." Armed with these virtues, the impossible is made possible.? 9Tim Brierty Assistant Administrator McKenna Memorial HospitalHORIZONS It's Coming... Sunday, March 28,1993ZtttUM ;

Skinny Love
One of the reasons I like to attend Amren is to meet people that watch my videos. One of these people is Maria who attended with her boyfriend Tony. As they are both gamers, they had me autograph a couple of Magic cards.
Tony and Maria are the type of people you will meet at an Amren conference. Just normal people who are not ashamed of their race. I personally have never met a "Neo Nazi" or a "skinhead" at one these conferences. However, I have met Asians, an African-American, Hispanics, Jews and a homosexual. The the whole meme that Amren is "White Supremacist" is just retarded. Amren is just a conservative on-line magazine that has conventions. It is public and anyone is invited to attend if you pay your fee and follow the dress code. There is no ideological or racial test required to attend the conference.
That is why is is hilarious that the SPLC sends a "spy" to these conventions. Who the fuck sends a "spy" to a public event that publishes all the speeches on YouTube? It would be like sending a "spy" to a Denver Broncos game. Full Retard.
Anyway, I told Maria that I would promote her vids if she desired. She agreed so I picked a vid I liked. She is a musician and I think she is quite talented. She deserves more than 900 views for a two year old video.

You say this as if it's a good thing!
Even AmRen, it seems, is lowering its standards and succumbing to the MultiKult infection.
Amren is not a political organization. It is an event that is open to the public. As such, they don't exclude anyone.ReplyDelete
There are pretty much what would have been considered to be a mainstream conservative magazine 20 years ago. But the culture as moved so far to the Left, if you are not anti-White you are considered to be a "Nazi". Amren is pro all races - including Whites.

The last leg..
... most unique, fascinating, endlessly surprising place in the world becuase I'm not that well travelled, but I'd put money on it. The three days I spent there were brilliant. I even found another couple of Dali's and Picasso's on display in the Peggy Guggenheim museum. They say it's because it's had so many different global influences over hundreds of years and been the seat of huge power it's evolved the extraordinary way it has. It's hideously crowded, smelly and expensive, but it's ...
... We were happy that we were travelling south because there was very heavy traffic heading north. The only time we had to drop our speed from the maximum 70 miles per hour was when we encountered road works and upgrading of the motorway and there is quite a bit of that going on.
The entrance into Falmouth was a little unnerving as Bruce negotiated very narrow streets with cars parked on the footpath and oncoming traffic. ...
So the journey begins!
after a week long of 21st birthday celebrations, leaving dos and saying goodbye to loved ones..my journey finally begins! very emotional morning saying goodbye to mum and dad, brother and his girlfriend and my cousins..still trying to get over the fact that it's real! soo many different emotions!! excitement and nerves being the main ones! goodbye England! see you next ...
Cardiff to Plymouth
The weather on Thursday morning was a bit overcast and drizzly as we drove out of Cardiff heading west towards the Welsh Town, Neath, where Bruce's great great grandmother, Margaret Jenkins was born in the early 1800s. The town is, of course, much larger now and after negotiating narrow winding streets in the centre of town we headed off in search of the second town on our list.

Opinion + Iain Dale
A second life for UK political blogging?Iain DaleIain Dale: The mainstream media have sapped the strength of the independent blogosphere. Group blogs may revive it
Iain Dale: Hay festival: The state is creating powers for itself in the face of a relatively small threat. Placing life before liberty brings life without liberty

Iain Dale: The British prime minister is inviting questions via YouTube. Great - but why is he waiting six weeks to answer them?
Tipping point for Gordon?Iain Dale
Iain Dale: Local elections 08: Last night was devastating for Labour. But if Gordon Brown can turn things around before July, he'll be able to survive

Iain Dale: Let's deal in facts rather than John Harris's tired leftist propaganda: the Conservatives are ahead of Labour in the polls and making the most of it

The fine art of PMQsIain Dale
Iain Dale: Gordon Brown took another pasting in the Commons yesterday, so what is it about prime minister's questions that sets him stuttering?
This is no mere 'bounce'Iain Dale

Iain Dale: Labour 07: Attempts to portray Gordon Brown's message as palatable to Conservative voters misses the point utterly.

Second bestIain Dale
Shadows of no doubtIain Dale
How to duck the clunking fistIain Dale
Iain Dale: Brown has had 10 years to plan his first 100 days in power. David Cameron and the Tory party need to be robust and clear in response.
Europe: a sceptic's viewIain Dale

Battle of the bluesIain Dale
Iain Dale: Tory party members are getting nervous as some begin to think their party is being taken away from them.
Tories fillet WillettsIain Dale
Iain Dale: The issue of grammar schools is totemic for many Conservatives, no matter which wing of the party they are on.
May 3 elections Tony Blair is rightIain Dale
Iain Dale: This is indeed a springboard for a general election. But for David Cameron, not Gordon Brown.
Iain Dale: Press freedom: thanks to the internet we now have the most independent press and media in the history of the world.
Running on emptyIain Dale
Iain Dale: Reports claiming that the Tories have set up an 'anti-Miliband unit' show how bereft of imagination many of our political reporters have become.
Mandy on the warpathIain Dale
The centre of powerIain Dale
Iain Dale: Despite Lord Saatchi's call for Conservatives to abandon the centre ground, David Cameron is wise to pitch his tent there.
Queen's speech: bor-ing!Iain Dale

Iain Dale: The Conservative party conference is different this year, with more open debates and a wider range of guest speakers.
Conference season 2006 Taxing timesIain Dale

This application is a Continuation Application of U.S. application Ser. No. 10/128,594, filed Apr. 22, 2002, entitled "Web-Site Performance Analysis System and Method Utilizing Web-Site Traversal Counters and Histograms" now issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,963,874 on Nov. 8, 2005, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/347,389, filed 9 Jan. 2002, entitled "Dynamic Path Analysis."
This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/128,598, filed Apr. 22, 2002, entitled "Interactive Path Analysis", which is herein incorporated by reference.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to the field of computer networks, and in particular to a system and method that facilitates an analysis of the traffic patterns and performance of sites on a network.
2. Description of Related Art
Traffic analysis is a necessary tool for effective web-site management and on-going web-site development, as well as for the development of effective marketing strategies. Web-site managers, hereinafter webmasters, desire information that can be used to enhance the web-site's performance or appearance. Electronic-commerce marketing managers, hereinafter marketers, desire information that can be used to enhance the sales resulting from visits to a web-site, to enhance advertising revenue from the web-site, and/or to determine the effectiveness of advertising expenses to other web-site providers.
Tools are commonly available for collecting traffic data. A fundamental tool, for example, collects data regarding the number of times each page at a web site is accessed within a given period of time (e.g. 'hit-rate' statistics). A more sophisticated tool, such as the Netflame™ product from Fireclick, Inc., collects data regarding entries to and exits from each page at a web site. By tracking visitors' paths through the website, a Netflame™-enabled web-site can be configured to anticipate a next-page that a visitor is likely to visit, and can initiate a download of some or all of the anticipated next-page while the visitor is viewing the current page. In this manner, the performance of the web-site is significantly enhanced, because, from the visitor's perspective, the anticipated next-page appears to download instantaneously. Only if the visitor chooses an unanticipated next-page will the visitor experience the true download delay duration.
Copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/734,910, filed Dec. 11, 2000 and entitled "Predictive Pre-Download Using Normalized Network Object Identifiers", discloses a preferred technique for determining and downloading the anticipated next-page. Of particular note, this copending application also discloses the concept of a "normalized" web-page, wherein alternative versions of a web-page are analyzed and processed as a single web-page. That is, alternative versions of a web-page may include an element that varies, depending upon the environment, the particular viewer, the class of viewer, a currently advertised special, and so on. Each version may potentially correspond to a different web-page, because each version may have a different URL (Uniform Resource Locator). If processed and analyzed separately, the individual statistics that are associated with each of the different versions of a web-page would generally be meaningless. A normalized web-page comprises all of the non-varying elements of the alternative versions, and the data collected corresponding to each of the alternative versions is associated with the normalized web-page. In this manner, statistics are provided for the web-page, independent of variables associated with the web-page. For ease of reference and understanding, the term web-page as used herein includes a normalized web-page, and other collections of pages, files, and data that form a cohesive entity for traffic-analysis reporting purposes. For example, copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/079,932, filed Feb. 19, 2002, entitled "Predictive Predownload of Templates with Delta Encoding," discloses the use of "templates" that correspond to the relatively unchanging portions of a web-page, and "delta-encoding" to encode the portions of a web-page that change. As defined herein, the templates with multiple and varied delta-encodings correspond to a web-page. Other examples of collections of material forming a cohesive entity for traffic-analysis will be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art.
The information provided by traffic or path analysis tools is useful, but somewhat limited. While knowledge of how visitors typically arrive at a web site, which pages they typically visit while at the site, and where they go to when they depart the web site, is useful for determining the effectiveness of the site in satisfying marketing objectives, such as the effectiveness of a page layout for directing visitors to select targets, it is somewhat limited in providing insight as to where problems may lie.
Collecting information for a more detailed analysis, however, requires substantial memory resources, particularly for web-sites that are visited hundreds or thousands of times per hour. Even if one could initially afford the memory resources to collect a detailed record of each visit to a web-page, the amount of memory resources required can be expected to grow non-linearly as the analysis system provides the feedback that is expected to facilitate a substantial increase in the popularity of the web-site. Also, as the size of the database that contains the detailed information increases with time and/or site popularity, the time to access the information in the database will increase, thereby diminishing the analysis tool's effectiveness as an interactive query system.
It is an object of this invention to provide a data collection and reporting system that facilitates an evaluation of a web-page's performance, with memory requirements that scale reasonably with increased traffic to the web-page. It is a further object of this invention to provide a data collection and reporting system that facilitates an evaluation of a web-page's performance in the context of the web-site that contains the web-page. It is a further object of this invention to provide a data collection and reporting system that facilitates an evaluation of segments of visits to a web-site in the context of the entirety of the web-site.
These objects and others are achieved by providing a data collection system that collects statistics related to each visit to each web-page within a web-site using a two-stage memory utilization process. In addition to collecting path information related to traversals to and from each web-page, the system collects information regarding the particular session, such as the visitor's connection speed, the time required to download the web-page to the visitor's system, the duration of time that the visitor spent at the page, whether the user clicked the 'back' button to leave the site, and so on. Data is initially collected in memory structures that optimize the processing time and memory space required to store each parameter related to the performance of each web-page. The data in these optimized memory structures is available for immediate access by an interactive data-analysis system. At select intervals, the data in each memory structure is transferred to a database, for long-term storage, or for more detailed analyses. The data analysis system presents statistics based on the collected data in an easy-to-use and easy-to-understand form that is customizable by the user. By collecting and reporting performance factors related to each web-page, or sets of web-pages within a web-site, marketers and webmasters can address any perceived deficiencies and/or can optimize the performance of select pages to achieve specific marketing objectives. By storing current data in a memory structure, and older data in a database, memory resources are conserved, and increases in the size or popularity of the web-site can be accommodated without substantially affecting the performance of the data analysis system.
The invention is explained in further detail, and by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings wherein:
Throughout the drawings, the same reference numerals indicate similar or corresponding features or functions.
This invention is presented herein using the paradigm of a path-analysis system having the capabilities of the aforementioned Netflame™ product from Fireclick, Inc. As will be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art, the principles of this invention are applicable to other traffic-analysis and path-analysis systems and products.
Each of the web-pages 110-180 is illustrated as containing one or more "buttons" for traversing to another web-page. Web-page M 110, for example, contains a button 111 that effects a traversal to web-page A1 160. Web-page Q 120 contains a button 121 that effects a traversal to web-page A2 170. Web-page A1 160 contains buttons 161, 162, 163 that effect a traversal to web-pages M 110, Q 120, and A2 170, respectively. Not illustrated, conventional web-browsers include "back" and "forward" buttons for traversing to prior accessed web-pages.

Copending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/128,598, filed Apr. 22, 2002, entitled "INTERACTIVE PATH ANALYSIS", teaches a user interface 193 and display processor 195 that are configured to display the rate of traversals among web-pages, preferably as a directed graph 200, and is incorporated by reference herein.
In the example display 200, web-page A1 has been identified as the target, and all of the traversals to and from web-page A1 are illustrated. The percentages associated with each link represent the percentage of traversals to and from A1, relative to node A1. For example, the link from node R to A1 indicates 25%. This figure indicates that 25% of the traversals to A1 arrive from node R. In like manner, 9% of the traversals to A1 are from Q, 19% from M, 21% from A2, and 26% from A3, thereby accounting for 100% of the traversals to A1. Regarding traversals from node A1, 19% are to R, 32% to Q, 17% to M, 31% to A2, and 1% to node A3.
This graphic presentation presents useful information to a marketer or a Webmaster. Note, for example, that although 25% of the traversals to node A1 are from node R, 19% of the traversals are back to node R. As illustrated in
In accordance with this invention, the collected data includes substantially more data than a mere count of the number of traversals to and from each web-page. By collecting this additional information, more meaningful reports can be provided, and conclusions can be easily drawn without employing a multi-stage deductive process. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the data includes an identification of the web-page from which the visitor arrived, a connection speed, a measure of the time required to complete the download of the web-page to the visitor, a measure of the time that the visitor remained at the web-page, and an identification of the web-page to which the visitor went upon leaving this web-page. Supplemental information, such as whether the visitor departed by hitting the "back" button, whether the user departed before the download was completed, and so on, may also be recorded to facilitate the reporting process, even though this information could be derived from the other data that is recorded. Other information, such as an identification of the visitor, the time of day of the visit, and so on, may also be stored. In a preferred embodiment, a visitor's traversals through the web-site is tracked as a linked set of records. That is, the first record corresponds to the page at which the visitor entered the site, and subsequent traversals within this site are linked to this first record. In this manner, the total time that each visitor remains at the site, the number of pages visited, the entry and exit pages, and so on, can be determined and reported. For efficiency in data storage and retrieval, a relational database structure is preferably employed. For example, a database containing the record of a particular visit may merely contain an identification of the visitor, and a related database may contain information regarding the visitor, such as whether the visitor has purchased from the site, the total amount of past purchases, the total number of visits, the visitor's preferences, and so on.
The performance display 320 of this invention employs the same user-defined aliases, if available, for identifying each web-page or group of web pages. In the example of
The performance display 320 of this example illustrates the number of "back" button exits from each of the nodes. Referring to
At 321 of
In a preferred embodiment, page names that correspond to multiple web-pages are displayed with a "+" symbol 328. If a user clicks on the "+" symbol, details regarding the multiple web-pages are displayed.
In accordance with another aspect of this invention, the user is given the option of presenting the information relative to the entire site, as in 320 of
In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the data 192 is configured to contain one or more time measures that facilitate an assessment of the web page's performance, or an assessment of the interest generated by the web page.
Generally, pictures require longer download time than text, and the display of
In a preferred embodiment of this invention, because speed has a substantial impact on the perceived performance of a web-site, a number of timing parameters are collected and made available for reporting. For example, the typical web-page download process includes the following sub-processes:
In a preferred embodiment, the time associated with each of these subprocesses is measured. By providing these subprocess time measures, a webmaster is able to distinguish, for example, between delays caused by the slow generation of the web-page by the server, and delays caused by the actual transmission of the web-page.
As noted above, some time measures are optionally normalized based on the connection speed, to more easily distinguish the factors that affect a web-sites performance. Although the nominal, or "theoretical", connection speed (19.2 kbs, 56.6 kbs, etc.) of a visitor's communication channel may be used to provide this normalization, an "effective connection speed" that reflects the actual throughput to the visitor is preferably used. For example, in the aforementioned Netflame™ product, the time required to pre-download a known amount of content material is used to determine this "effective connection speed". Because this content material is downloaded to a visitor's system as a "background" process, the time required to download the material is free of delays that may be introduced as the material is being processed or displayed in a conventional, non-pre-download system. The use of the actual, or effective, connection speed allows a webmaster to distinguish between problems related to bandwidth limitations to the visitor and problems related to an overburdened server.
Other performance measures based on time durations will be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art in view of this disclosure. For example,
Other performance measures and displays will be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art in view of this disclosure. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the data 192 contains path-analysis information that facilitates an assessment of each page's performance relative to the web site.
In view of the amount of detail that is reported by the web-analysis system, the web-analysis system of this invention preferably includes a storage structure that facilitates effective and efficient web-site analysis. In accordance with this invention, a two-stage storage scheme is employed for the parametric data that is used to determine the performance measures discussed above. Data is stored in a first storage area that provides for relatively high-speed storage and access, then stored in a second storage area that is relatively slower, but substantially less costly and/or more versatile than the first storage area. In a preferred embodiment, specific structures are employed at the first stage to provide effective and efficient storage in a memory 191 that is preferably local to the web-analysis process 190. At the second stage, a database 192 is employed to provide efficient long-term storage of the data, and to facilitate analyses that use conventional data-base access and processing techniques, such as sophisticated searching and sorting tasks.
In accordance with this invention, the data that is collected in the register 611 is periodically transferred to the database 192, and the register 611 is cleared for subsequent data collection, thereby providing regular samples of the data for subsequent time-based analyses. As illustrated in the example system 600, a plurality of registers 610 may be provided, and the data sequentially shifted through these registers, thereby allowing for time-based analyses based on the data in the registers 610. For example, twenty-four registers 610 may be provided, and the periodic uploading to the database 192 may occur once per hour. In such a configuration, each register 610 reflects the data corresponding to an hour of transactions at the web-site over the course of a day. Data analyses and queries that are targeted for periods of a day or less can be optimized to access the data in the registers 610 directly, whereas longer-term analyses and queries will access the data in the database 192, albeit with less efficiency.
As will be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art, the configuration illustrated in
Note that the structure of the system 600 allows for a control of the size and complexity of the system, and optionally, allows for the customization of the system based on a customer's requirement. As noted above, the two-stage storage structure of this invention provides for the aggregation of data into periodic data samples. As such, the amount of data that is stored is a function of time, and not a function of the amount of traffic that a web-site experiences, thereby allowing for reliable estimates of resource requirements, and allowing for manageable/scalable growth as required. In the above hourly-upload example, the size of a week's worth of data will be equal to 7*24* (size of the register 611), regardless of the amount of traffic during the week.
The level of time-detail of subsequent analyses of the data will be based on the rate of the periodic uploads of the data from the memory 191 to the database 192. In the above example of an hourly sample rate, reports can have a time resolution of an hour, but no less. If a particular customer requires more or less resolution, the periodic upload rate can be modified accordingly, thereby increasing or decreasing the amount of data that is stored in the database 192. Similarly, the number of registers 610 determines the time span of the analyses that can be performed directly from the memory 191. By allowing the customer to define the desired memory-access time span and data resolution, the provider of the web-analysis system can determine the number of registers 610 required, and the expected size of the database 192, and charge the customer accordingly. Likewise, the customer can control the cost of this aspect of the system by the appropriate choice of required resolution and memory-access time span.
The size of the register 611 will depend upon the number of different parameters that are being measured for each page of the customer's web-site. The width of each parameter will be based on an assumed maximum limit to the value that is stored, but as long as these limits are not exceeded, the size of the register 611 will be substantially independent of the amount of traffic that the web-site experiences.
Each of these structures 720 in the blocks 710 of the register 611 is preferably configured to allow for rapid access and updating. For example,

As discussed above with regard to
The structure of
In like manner, the structure 720′ is efficiently embodied as an index-able array of variables CTR, and the assertion of the eventcount (A1-An in
"decrement CTR(eventcount−1) and increment CTR(eventcount)".
One of ordinary skill in the art will recognize alternative efficient structures for embodying the histogram-structure 720′ of
Other structures that are optimized for efficient data collection will be evident to one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, the histogram-structure of
The foregoing merely illustrates the principles of the invention. It will thus be appreciated that those skilled in the art will be able to devise various arrangements which, although not explicitly described or shown herein, embody the principles of the invention and are thus within its spirit and scope. For example, to further facilitate scalability, or to allow a user to further control costs, the system can be configured to monitor a limited number of web-pages, rather than all of the web-pages of a web-site. In such an embodiment, the number of blocks 710 of

Bogaerts excited to be at Fenway Park
Xander Bogaerts was not in Tuesday's starting lineup against the Baltimore Orioles, but the 20-year-old Red Sox rookie was excited to be at Fenway Park. It was only his third time at the park, and his first time on the field for batting practice.
He took some grounders at shortstop and third base before taking batting practice roughly two hours before first pitch.
His first observation? Fenway Park is nothing like the fields he played on in his native Aruba.
"A lot of rocks in Aruba," Bogaerts said. "No rocks here. Plain, smooth, a big difference, especially with all the fans. Hopefully I get to see all the fans tonight. Not too many stadiums are big like this in Aruba."
Against the Dodgers Saturday, Bogaerts collected his first major league hit, a single, after entering the game in the eighth inning. On Sunday, he was 2 for 4 with a double and an RBI in an 8-1 win – the team's fourth on the six-game West Coast trip.
"I'm really enjoying every moment of it," Bogaerts said. "Thankfully, we won a few games so it made it a lot better. I'm just thankful to be here."

Skip to comments.NJ OBAMACARE CANCELS INSURANCE PLANS OF 1,800 CHILDREN
Posted on 04/06/2014 12:59:16 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
Roughly 1,800 New Jersey children had their insurance plans cancelled last week due to Obamacare.
With the flurry of cancellation notices hitting mailboxes across the Garden State, one parent, Bob Miotla, told the NJ.com news of his son's cancellation made him "extremely angry."
"Without having that safety net, if an illness arises, we will probably take him to the ER," said Miotla, who is on Medicare and disabled.
Obamacare's new mandated requirements killed New Jersey's low-cost children's insurance coverage plan, FamilyCare Advantage. The plan, offered by Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey, was designed for children whose parents make too much money to qualify for Medicaid and offered medical, dental, and vision coverage for just $144 a month. The program, which was the first of its kind in the nation, was implemented six years ago and considered a model for others states seeking economical ways to provide quality coverage for kids from working class families.
Yet, since FamilyCare Advantage lacked things like mental health services, Obamacare deemed the children's 1,800 plans illegal and the program shuttered last week. "This is enormously disappointing, said NJ state Sen. Joseph Vitale (D) who co-sponsored the bill that created the program. "It was $5 for doctor visits, $1 for pharmacy and no deductible or cost sharing."
The Obamacare plan offered by the same insurance provider has a $1,500 minimum deductible. Vitale told NJ.com that most families whose children were covered will be ineligible for taxpayer-funded federal Obamacare subsidies because "they earned too much money."
The 1,800 New Jersey children join the five million other Americans who also had their plans canceled by Obamacare. A new study by the RAND Corporation reportedly finds that nearly one million people whose plans were canceled by Obamacare still remain uninsured, a figure Democrats previously claimed...

We need to shout this from the housetops!
Obama hates the "Chilrun"
Obama hates the Chilrun
No, "Obama, Reid and Pelosi want your children to die!" is the message that should be trumpeted.
I am sure that the idea was to replace the state children's insurance with another state plan that was available from the exchanges. That is what they did in WA. They started earlier, though. WA state sent out letters to all Medicaid recipients that said that Medicaid was being wrapped into the new Apple Care State insurance program through the insurance exchange.
So, essentially, not only did Obama's numbers cover all regular and expanded Medicaid enrollees, but they also counted the children separately from their parents.
Harry Reid responded with "You're all a bunch of #%#$##$ liars!!!"
Well there you have it, it was the rich families bleeding the system dry.
Before and After Birth.
Just another example of the democrat "war on children."
If they had read it they would have known what was in it.
Someone ask Harry Reid if these people are lying.
Well, Jim, you know these people are all liars - just ask Harry Reid.
It just occurred to me that since a democrat introduced the bill in NJ six years ago, Obama will use his pen to fix this by changing the law.
With the flurry of cancellation notices hitting mailboxes across the Garden State, one parent, Bob Miotla, told the NJ.com news of his son's cancellation made him "extremely angry."
Mr. Miotla is a liar --Harry Reid
Mr. Miotla liked his plan and his doctors but he couldn't keep them and his healthcare will be quite unaffordable now. So who's truly the liar — Harry (the booty) scReid?
Restore Health Care — Repeal Obamacare.
Thanks JimRob.
Harry Reid hates children, too. In fact, all Reid cares about is Reid. Obama, Pelosi, and Biden are also in politics for personal gain. None of them give a rat's whisker about the poor, children, women, minorities, or any of the other groups they claim to help. Hyporcrites, liars, and crooks, all of them.
Apple Health in Washington State always was Medicaid.
The recent change, besides the Expansion of Medicaid, is that Apple Health is now administered by Washington Healthplanfinder, not DSHS.
Apple Health was created for the Obamacare exchange. If you go to the WAState.gove web site for HCA, they explain how they are wrapping the children' s Medicaid program into the Obamacare exchange and adding the adult Medicaid to Apple Care as well. If you recall, WA State made a lot of the moves toward Obamacare before the deadline, so that even if the ACA law was declared unconstitutional, WA State would still have moved a considerable way toward the same type of program.
There was a major problem last December when WA State realized that most of the traditional Medcaid recipients did not know that they had to renew their Medicaid by signing up on the Obamacare exchange.
No, that isn't correct. I am a court-appointed guardian for a number of children. Their insurance (actually Medicaid) has been called Washington Apple Health for many years. You can do a search right now and find references from the 90s.
Beginning in February 2009, Washington began enrolling children with family incomes up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) in its new Apple Health for Kids program. The implementation of this expansion is only the most recent phase of a comprehensive effort to cover all children that began over 2 years ago when Governor Chris Gregoire signed
Also, the traditional Medicaid/Apple Health renewals are staggered. For example, some of these kids will renew on May 1st. They can do it (actually me) either by paper form or on the exchange. The change is that DSHS has no involvement in it anymore.
The name, Apple Health, may have kkbeen used in the nineties, but it was certainly notbpartbofvthe Obamacare exchange.
If you go to the government web site, you will see the changesmthatvwere made to make it part of the ACA. I would imagine that the income limits were expanded, as well. The tables now go up to close to $90,000 per year for 5 children.

My mind flew all of the sudden. I asked him once more. Hearing it one time is too surreal to believe.
"Wait... I'm free? What... What do you mean...? You're letting me out of here?"
He lets out a small chuckle.
"Well... Not really... You're being set free from this dungeon to something better, sport. Something WAY better."
Oh so he lied after all. I'm being set out of the dungeon to another place. They're probably thinking of putting me in a newer prison they built. Oh well, at least I'll be with other prisoners if I'm lucky. It's way better to be imprisoned and have at least someone to talk to than be locked up by myself and spend days and days of mental torture trying to pass the day with nothing to do.
"Heh, I knew it.... You make me sick..." I reply to him scornfully.
"I bet you enjoy playing with my head, don't you? Does it make you happy knowing that you're having fun mentally torturing others? Oh wait, that's the point isn't it?"
"Look, kiddo..." He tells me.
"I'm not the one making all the decisions around here. I'm merely someone who's assigned to make sure that the prisoners here gets taken care of. Besides, I think you'll like it where they're taking you."
He grabs my arm and lifts me up dragging me into the air. I struggled to get on my feet. My knees were weak and seems like it can't hold the weight of my upper body. They haven't seen any use at all, so I guess it's only natural to feel this way. But then again, There's not much to endure seeing that I am quite frail at my current state.
"Careful now, sport. The path is a lil' bit rugged so it's easy to trip over."
Wtih every step I take I feel as if my body will crumble. The gravels feels like sharp needles piercing my feet. We keep walking for a good long while until suddenly, he stops and lets go of my arm. His metal keys hit each other and make sharp noises that echoes throughout the dungeon. A small light peeks through what seems like a keyhole. My caretaker inserts a metal key into the hole and turns it. It makes a rattling noise and with a shove, he opens the wooden door.
Orange light shines before me. For the first time in a long time, I see bright light. I see something else other than the cruel darkness. I stand outside my dungeon entrance in awe as the flickering torch illuminates a pathway that leads to two separate ways. To the right appears to be a narrow path that leads to other dungeon doors; and to the left, a stairway that leads to the upper floor. The pathways are made with concrete blocks so they look decent, as opposed to my dungeon which bears rocks and gravels that looks like simple a dirt hole dug for the unfortunate souls trapped inside it.
"This way, sport." He says as he swings his head to the left.
For the first time as well, I am able to see my caretaker's face. His face is that of a man around his mid-forties, and gray facial hair around his mouth stretching to his chin and to his jawline. His hair, also the color gray, is ruffled and messy just like Chris. His stature is that of an old, but fit man; and on his shoulders rests a green cloth that seems to serve as a cape of some sort.
His keyring made sounds as we stepped closer to the stairway and on it. as we reached the end of the short stairway, he lifts up the door blocking our advancement. With one last look, I glance at my dungeon door and whisper farewell to it. That's one friend I am glad not to see again.
My caretaker slowly climbs up the second floor and puts his hand out to help me get there. With all of my poor strength, I forced myself up to the second floor. Though almost half dead, I manage to plop belly-up on the wooden floor. I breathe quick breaths as I try to regain my strength to stand up once more. The smooth wooden floor feels good on my hands. I slowly slide my palms across the floor, feeling the smooth surface. It feels like heaven to touch after spending time in a rough, rocky dungeon.
My caretaker lets out an amused laugh.
"Heheheh, c'mon now kiddo, you can't be beat yet! That was merely the stairs, boy! Back when I was your age, why I would climb two mountains in a single day! Ahahhaha!"
Shakily picking myself up, I stare at him with a frown on my face to show that I am not enjoying his sentiments. Past him though, a huge mirror hangs on the wall. The mirror reflects my image and I see myself. After spending such a long time in the dungeon, I could hardly recognize myself. My face is skinny, and so are my limbs.; My face has a light mustache and stubble growing and my clothes are stained with dirt which now looks like rags. I stand there staring at my own reflection for quite some time. I wonder: If Terell would see me now, would he think I'm attractive? Probably not.
My caretaker stands behind me. He talks to me as I stare at my own reflection.
"Y'know sport, even with yer' rugged getup, dem eyes don't lie. Y'really got a nice face, y'know? I bet dem guys and girls chased after ya back before all this happened, huh?" He says with his gruff voice.
"Nah... And even if they did, It wouldn't really matter, because the one person who I want in the whole world can't be together with me..." I say as I look down on my feet.
"Ah I see... Tough one kiddo, but y'know, there's always someone out there for ya! I mean, It might not be the one you always wanted, but I'm pretty sure he or she is gonna come by."
He walks away to the wooden door behind him. He looks back at me, and I turn around to face him. The glowing fire by the fireplace touches my skin with it's warmth. The light flickers and the fire crackles as the firewood burns in it. Somehow it reminds me of the cold times Chris, Terell, and I spent inside Chris' grandfather's house; and how he used to serve us hot cocoa as we sat around the fireplace making shadow puppets.
He opens the door and gestures for me to follow him. The next room reveals a long wooden table. The window casts a soft light on the table as we move around it. I quickly examine the the room. Farther down the other end of the table is a small coffee table with newspaper of some sort. Behind it is a long couch that sits perpendicualrly to two armchairs. It seems like those chairs have not seen some use in quite a long time.
My care taker opens another door. He looks at me as fog fills the inside of the building.
"Are you ready, sport?" he asks me.
I nod in agreement. He cuffs my hands together with thinner, less tighter handcuffs. I stare at my wrists as he does so and I notice my cuff marks from the previous dungeon restraints. The new cuffs only cover about half of what the old ones did. As he locks them on, he begins speaking to me again.
"Dun' worry sport, this is just to ensure that you won't run off on me."
He lets out a small laugh.
Finally, He begins walking towards the doorway. He drags me along by my cuff chains.
I wonder If my new prison will be better?Will there be other prisoners there too? Will it at least be cleaner than my dungeon cell? An array of questions dart through my head as I walk behind my caretaker through the foggy lands.
Whatever it is, surely it can't be worse than hell.

Curry and Fire - Bearington
My body is an ice cube. I sniff and trudge along a path that is now cloaked in white. My fingers are stiff and numb, like the rest of me. I can't feel my legs moving as I approach the tiny cabin. I push open the door. A frosty gale rushes past me as the door creaks open. My bones thaw as the warmth of my home embraces me. I sit by the blazing hearth, taking a bowl 0f curry from the kitchen stove. As the hearth melts my flesh, the curry warms my soul.

A top Scotland Yard officer was jailed today for assaulting and falsely arresting a man in a petty row over money.
Commander Ali Dizaei, 47, was sentenced to four years by Mr Justice Simon at London's Southwark Crown Court.
A jury convicted him of misconduct in public office and perverting the course of justice at the end of a four-week trial.
They found he attacked young Iraqi businessman Waad al-Baghdadi before arresting and attempting to frame him.
The convictions spell the end of the Iranian officer's controversial 24-year career. Dizaei has been suspended on full pay since September 2008.
He emerged unscathed from a series of earlier inquiries, including a multimillion-pound undercover operation examining claims of corruption, fraud and dishonesty.
But an attempt to frame a man who pestered him for payment over a website exposed him as a violent bully and liar who abused his position.
Dizaei will remain a senior police officer until the bureaucratic formal process of throwing him out of the force can be completed.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), which investigated the original complaint, must pass its files to the Metropolitan Police Authority (MPA) for a decision.
Dizaei will then be sacked for gross misconduct and could face losing all or part of his pension under further measures aimed at punishing corrupt officers.
Nick Hardwick, who leads the IPCC, branded Dizaei a "criminal in uniform" who threatened the reputation of the entire service.
The jury heard the two men met by chance in the Persian Yas restaurant, run by Dizaei's friend Sohrab Eshragi, in Hammersmith Road, west London, on July 18 2008.
Mr al-Baghdadi, 24, approached Dizaei and asked for £600 he was owed for building a website showcasing his career, press interviews and speeches.
This angered Dizaei, who had just eaten a meal with his wife after attending a ceremony at New Scotland Yard for new recruits.
The officer confronted the younger man in a nearby sidestreet where a scuffle took place and Mr al-Baghdadi was roughly arrested and handcuffed.
Prosecutor Peter Wright QC said Dizaei told Mr al-Baghdadi he would "f*** up your life" and had "10 witnesses" who would back him up.
In one of two 999 calls Dizaei asked an operator for "urgent assistance" before starting to arrest Mr al-Baghdadi.
When officers arrived, Dizaei handed them the metal mouthpiece of a shisha pipe, held on Mr al-Baghdadi's key ring, and claimed he had been stabbed with it.
But a doctor at Hammersmith police station concluded that two red marks on the officer's torso were probably self-inflicted and did not match the pipe.
Dizaei told colleagues he had been attacked, leaving Mr al-Baghdadi in custody for 24 hours and ultimately facing prosecution.
When Mr al-Baghdadi was told he would not face any charge, he complained about his treatment and Dizaei's web of deceit slowly unravelled.
Mr Wright said the officer was guilty of a "wholesale abuse of power" motivated by self-interest and pride.
Giving evidence, Mr al-Baghdadi compared Dizaei to bloodthirsty movie gangster Tony Montana, a character played by Al Pacino in the 1983 film Scarface.
He said many people were scared of the Metropolitan Police officer because of his status in the Iranian community.
The jury also heard that Dizaei rarely paid for his meals and left his unmarked car on a double yellow line while at the restaurant.
In his defence, Dizaei said he feared he was being targeted by his own colleagues because of his role as president of the National Black Police Association (NBPA).
Dizaei represented another senior Met officer Tarique Ghaffur as he threatened to sue former commissioner Sir Ian Blair for discrimination and bullying.
But the jury rejected his claim that the way complaints against him were handled could lead to a "miscarriage of justice" and convicted him of both counts.
Speaking after the verdict, Mr Hardwick said: "Dizaei behaved like a bully and the only way to deal with bullies is to stand up to them.
"Mr al-Baghdadi has shown tremendous strength of character throughout this case - from the moment he was confronted by Ali Dizaei, throughout our investigation, and finally when giving evidence at court.
"We are grateful for the confidence he placed in the IPCC and, as a result of that, justice has been done today.
"The greatest threat to the reputation of the police service is criminals in uniform like Dizaei.
"Corruption comes in many forms and remains a threat to the police service. It requires constant vigilance to fight it. Integrity must not be negotiable.
"I think the public will now be looking to police leadership for reassurance that they will not allow political and financial pressures to prevent them from robustly tackling corruption."
Charles Crichlow, who took over from Dizaei as president of the NBPA, said the verdicts were a "surprise".
He said: "Given the possibility of future appeal proceedings, it would be inappropriate to comment in any detail at this stage.
"This is clearly an extremely difficult and traumatic period for Dr Dizaei and his family and we respect their privacy."
Mr Justice Simon said the sentence included a deterrent element "to send a clear message that police officers of whatever rank are not above the law".
The judge told Dizaei: "You knew how the system worked and you thought you would never be discovered.
"It is to the credit of the investigators in this case that early on they questioned your account.
"You should have drawn a very clear line between your personal position with regard to Mr al-Baghdadi and your position as a police officer.
"You crossed that line and now stand convicted of these offences."
The judge said Dizaei had shown a "grave abuse of public trust" and his conduct had persisted for some time.
Dizaei showed no emotion as he was sentenced and taken down.
Earlier in mitigation, Michael Mansfield QC, defending Dizaei, told the court: "It's clear that, at least as far as this defendant is concerned, his career is at an end."
Dizaei had a "quite remarkable career spanning 25 years, starting as a police constable and working his way to commander", Mr Mansfield said.
His work in the community and with young people showed his client was "devoted" to his career and the police service, and his performance was repeatedly judged to be "exemplary", Mr Mansfield told the court.
He added: "He was a mentor for colleagues and a role model for young people within the borough."
He said the incident that led to his conviction took place around the same time he was elected president of the National Black Police Association and promoted to the rank of commander.
Dizaei has been "paving the way for years in the way he has recognised the need for change in the Metropolitan Police", Mr Mansfield said.
"It is sad in the extreme that these achievements over the past 25 years now lie overlain by what has happened here today."
Dizaei showed a "sad lapse of judgment", he said.
Mr Mansfield urged the judge to recognise that Dizaei's "hopes have been dashed" and that his career is now over.
"A serious mark of disapproval of an officer of this rank committing these offences needs to be balanced against the contribution he has made."
Speaking outside court, Gaon Hart, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "The jury agreed today that Commander Ali Dizaei abused his position as a senior police officer when he threatened and arrested an innocent man with whom he had a personal dispute.
"Mr Dizaei had no proper reason for making this arrest and there was no real evidence that this young man had committed any crime on that day.
"Mr Dizaei's corruption, which would have been deplorable in any police officer, was all the more so given his position as a highly-ranked police commander.
"The public entrust the police with considerable powers and with that comes considerable responsibility. Mr Dizaei abused that power and ignored that responsibility.
"The public should have confidence that we will pursue anyone, regardless of their position, where there is evidence that they have committed serious offences of corruption.
"The CPS would like to thank the jury for the careful way in which they have followed the evidence.
"We believe that justice has been served for the victim and for the public in this case.
"We would also like to thank the IPCC for their thorough investigation and particularly we would like to thank the victim, who showed a great deal of courage in giving his evidence."
Met Commissioner Sir Paul Stephenson said: "Commander Ali Dizaei has been a police officer for nearly 25 years.
"It is extremely disappointing and concerning that this very senior officer has been found guilty of abusing his position and power.
"The public expect the police to treat them fairly and honestly and we are resolved to tackle corruption at every opportunity.
"He has breached that trust and damaged not only his own reputation but that of the entire police service.
"I am proud of the officers who gave evidence in this case and supported the IPCC investigation.
"Bearing in mind his rank and disgraceful behaviour, he should not be surprised at the severity of his sentence."Reuse content
