Anthem to open CareMore centers in Henrico
By Elizabeth Ygartua, Special to the Citizen 08/08/12
Anthem will introduce four new healthcare centers - including two in Henrico - to the Metro Richmond market in January.
The CareMore care centers will open in the Brook Run Shopping Center in northern Henrico; near the intersection of Parham Road and Patterson Avenue; on Midlothian Turnpike near Robious Road; and on Jahnke Road near Chippenham Hospital.
The centers will only accept Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield Medicare patients.
CareMore innovated a successful Medicare advantage plan to provide coverage and care for about 54,000 people in California, Arizona and Nevada. In 2011, the California-based CareMore Health Group was bought by Anthem's parent company WellPoint, Inc.
"The key to understand is although we're a health plan, we're really a healthcare delivery system and that's why we're different," said Dr. Michael Neiderer, regional medical officer for CareMore. "We come in with an entire approach of how to take care of patients and a lot of the emphasis that it is on is health maintenance and spending on a more robust benefit to maintain health than to take care of people in the hospital."
CareMore care centers provide coordinated care plans for patients with multiple doctors and have specialized programs to help those with chronic conditions such as diabetes or congenital heart failure, said Linda Larue, general manager of CareMore for Virginia.
"There really is the care model in the concept of the team, how the team takes care of the patient, that really is so innovative and makes it so successful," she said. "We don't really have anything like that in Richmond."
She emphasized that the services provided by the centers are holistic but do not replace the primary care physician's role. CareMore's services also include mental health programs and more social services, such as seminars on phone usage or Nifty After Fifty, a fitness program.
"If you can imagine going to your primary care doctor, you know in the world we live in today you may get 10 or 15 minutes with your doctor and sometimes that's just not enough for this population of patients," she said. "Enrollees may see their primary care doctor couple times but they can come to the care clinic as often as they want."
The CareMore centers and model will have working relationships with the five HCA hospitals in the region, building on Anthem's previous partnerships with them, Larue said. There also will be a network of associated local physicians.
When new patients visit one of the CareMore centers, they will sit with a physician or physician's assistance to complete CareMore's Healthy Start medical history evaluation, Neiderer said. Staff members then will put patients with chronic or preexisting conditions into programs to help monitor their progress.
"That makes it that much easier for the primary care physician when they finally meet their new patients," he said. "We try to have that healthy start completed and that information to the primary care physician so that when they meet the patient they have that and it can save a lot of time and help them get to the patient more quickly."
The centers are now hiring, according to CareMore's official website, for offices in Brooklyn and Albany, N.Y. and the Richmond-area locations.
WellPoint and Anthem run Blue Cross Blue Shield in 14 states, with one in nine Americans receiving coverage from one of its affiliated plans, according to the WellPoint website.

Problems With Yankee's Condenser Resurface
03/15/12 5:50PM By John Dillon
| Download MP3
(Host) The Vermont Yankee nuclear plant has been forced to reduce power because a key component is causing problems.
And the state says Yankee technicians made a mistake and left a metal plate inside the component as they were trying to troubleshoot the issue last week.
As VPR's John Dillon reports, that incident prompted the Shumlin Administration to ask federal regulators about a recent series of human errors at the plant.
(Dillon) The component that's acting up is called the condenser. It's like a giant, house-sized radiator that turns steam back into water. The condenser tubes have leaked and the entire part is scheduled to be replaced in four years -at a cost of around $150 million.
Yankee cut its power output in half last week as it tried to find out why the condenser was not working properly. Here's plant spokesman Larry Smith:
(Smith) We're seeing a loss of efficiency in our condenser. It's due to what's called air in leakage. It's air that's getting into the whole condenser system which shouldn't be there.
(Dillon) The state says that when Yankee reduced power and inspected the condenser last week, technicians discovered that a metal deck plate had been left inside during a recent refueling outage. The plate was a piece of metal large enough for workers to stand on.
Neil Sheehan is a spokesman for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He says the agency is aware of the incident.
(Sheehan) It's an issue that's affected not only Vermont Yankee but numerous other plants over the years where there's foreign material that's left behind when a job is completed. We don't think that's acceptable and we certainly had that discussion with them and our inspectors will certainly be addressing that in an upcoming inspection report.
(Dillon) The NRC recently released an annual report on Yankee that cited a number of what it called non-safety issues at the plant. The NRC concluded that the plant does not need additional safety inspections or oversight.
But Public Service Commissioner Elizabeth Miller says the most recent incident of the metal plate left inside the condenser raised questions about whether Yankee was experiencing a pattern of human errors. She's asked the NRC for an explanation.
(Miller) In looking at the reports I had a concern that there had been a number of incidents and felt it was appropriate to ask the NRC to explain why that pattern of incidents didn't deserve further attention or further action by the NRC and so that's why we sent the letter.
(Dillon) Miller's letter to the NRC cites other mistakes, including a case last fall when Yankee technicians misread a work order and shut down a breaker, resulting in a brief loss of the shutdown cooling system. Another case occurred in December when workers mistakenly tripped the wrong diesel back up generator.
Yankee spokesman Larry Smith said he could not comment on Miller's letter. The NRC said it would review it.
Meanwhile, Yankee is still trying to figure out what's wrong with the condenser. The NRC says a leading theory is that epoxy coating used to control leaks may be reducing the ability of condenser tubes to convert steam back to water.
For VPR News, I'm John Dillon in Montpelier.

: Deva Curl no poo vs CO wash?
As you can tell I am very new on here and I have just decided to finally join the no poo community. I find it all a bit confusing, though doing a lot of reading as helped and I tried Deva Curl no poo yesterday. I really loved the result but am wondering whether I can afford using Deva Curl products on a regular basis... You see, my hair is at tailbone length and I need to use a LOT of product!
So, my question is: would CO give me similar results? Also, would CO take much longer in the shower? I seem to remember reading about letting it sit on your head for 10-20 mn and I won't have that sort of time in the morning.
Any help or advice will be appreciated!

Toledo offensive tackle John Greco has drawn interest from numerous clubs over the past few months, including formal interviews at the Combine with San Diego, Miami, Dallas, Arizona, St. Louis, Detroit and Indianapolis. The Colts and Miami were also prominent among the teams that were showing strong interest in the versatile lineman at his Pro Day in early March.
Greco recently talked about his career at Toledo, his skills and what he's
been hearing from teams about his future in the NFL during this exclusive Scout.com
interview with Ed Thompson.
Ed Thompson: You started off at right tackle your freshman year and won the Norman Cohen Award. Since that was the first time a freshman won that award. what went through your mind when you actually received it?
John Greco: I knew I was one of the only freshman that was playing that particular year and I started every game. Looking at the previous winners, it was an honor because all the guys that won it before had very successful careers. It was a big honor.
Thompson: Talk about the special relationship you had with Nick Kaczur, the guy you replaced your sophomore year after he landed with the Patriots.
Greco: One thing about Nick, you know the seniors usually give the freshmen a hard time when they first start out, but he was a guy who still hung out with the young guys and really tried to mentor me. When I asked him for advice early on in my career, before my first game, he was like "don't worry about it, it'll be fine," and in my mind I thought "that's easy for you to say." Then I found myself saying the same things to a couple freshman this past season. He would lead by example and we were good friends off the field.
Thompson: You showed progress every single year during your college career, that had to be a source of pride for you.
Greco: Yeah definitely. I never wanted to plateau. Accolades and everything aside, I wanted to make myself better. Every year I wanted to work harder and try to make myself better.
Thompson: You're a smart guy on the field, you're very good with the playbook, but you mix it with tremendous aggression. Do you think that makes you stand out in this draft class?
Greco: I think so. There are a lot of guys who are good athletes and the thing that's going to separate us is the extra effort we put out on the field. We can run fast and jump high and lift a lot of weight, but keeping blocks and beating the guy across from you is important. I try to bring that out in my game and try to dominate every play.
Toledo Athletics
Thompson: What are you hearing from pro scouts, especially in terms of position?
Greco: It's been mixed. I'm hearing from some tackle, but it's not exclusively right tackle. Some are saying we might try left (tackle) and see what happens. Then you have teams who say we definitely see you as an interior guy. Some teams say tackle then move you in, some say stay at tackle, some say guard and possibly center. It shows that I'm versatile that guys see me at different positions, I just have to be able to play them all.
Thompson: Do you have any feel for where you'd fit best?
Greco: To be honest with you I've never played guard or center, and until I get the opportunity to play them I won't know. I've played tackle my whole career in college and I feel most comfortable there right now, but you don't know — I might play guard and it might just come naturally.
Thompson: Out of everything you did at the Combine, what were you most pleased with?
Greco: I was really happy with the bench workout. I was kind of sore, my legs were kind of sore, so I was holding back a little bit on some of the timing. I didn't know how I'd react or perform, but with the adrenaline going in front of everyone and the coach screaming in our face worked to my advantage. It worked out well and I was able to meet my goal of 30.
Thompson: You dropped roughly 25 pounds in the offseason...
Greco: Yeah, I dropped a little bit of weight. I wanted to try to eat a little bit healthier and have some good weight. Now with those days behind me, I want to be able to put on good weight to go into camp around 305-310.
Thompson: What is it that's going to make you successful at the NFL level?
Greco: Simply recognizing the opportunity, not taking it for granted, and working hard everyday. Understanding what I have to do to keep my job, because it's a job, and trying to have fun too. You have to have fun. I grew up dreaming to play this game and I'm not going to take it for granted.
A member of the Pro Football Writers of America and the Football Writers Association of America, Ed Thompson's player interviews and NFL features are published across the Scout.com network and at FOXSports.com. You can contact him by email through this link.

hey Daniel,
So this is one of your "entopic graphomania" pieces? Do you use some kind of algorithm to decide what dots to connect? I would think you'd need to, otherwise it wouldn't be automatic, no?
Also, why TIFF? A jpg would work better, I think. It would actually appear on the artwork page, for one thing.

Many laws detail consumer protection laws as well as debt collection regulations, requirements, and procedures, and a debt collection attorney can help determine which legal strategies will be most effective in your case. In some cases, debt collection attorneys work for a percentage of the amount owed and only receive payment when you collect your money.

Nikon TC-20E III - SOLD
Purchased new from B&H Oct 12, 2012. USA model. I finally had a chance to try it this weekend, and decided the extra loss of light is just beyond the limits for my liking when photographing song birds in PA in the low winter light. Shutter speed is more important to my need than the extra reach, and I don't like cranking ISOs to get shutter speed. Going back to my TC-17 which is the limit to how much shutter speed I am willing to give up. Unfortunately I just missed the return window.
That said, this is like new and includes everything as new. I will also include the receipt. Price is $375 including PayPal fees and Shipping. Con US only please.

Paranoid Gun Owners
Hillary Clinton Tamara Dietrich of the Newport News Daily Press pokes fun at gun owners who think Barack Obama is not a friend of gun owners.
A black man gets elected president and half the country dives for the panic room, buying up guns and squirreling away supplies like fatalists awaiting the End of Days. That's an exaggeration, of course. Barack Obama is biracial, not black.
Lovely of Ms. Dietrich to bring up race in an article on guns, or for that matter, any other topic except … um … race. I know plenty of gun owners who fear new restrictions on their right to own or carry guns. I also know plenty of gunophobes who think guns are icky, can't imagine why an sane person would want to own one, and would be delighted to see government take everyone else's guns away. I do not know a single individual, however, who is in favor of having his guns taken away from a white guy, but opposed to having them taken away from a black guy. Do you? Does Dietrich? If not, what the hell point is there in bringing race up?
Further, even if race were a legitimate topic of discussion in this context, the notion that Obama's white mother precludes him from being "black" is evidence that the infamous "one drop rule" never really went away, it just came full circle. In the days of Jim Crow, one drop of black blood meant you were black. Now, per Ms. Dietrich, one drop of white blood apparently means you can't be. Query how many American blacks meet Ms. Dietrich's definition of "black." It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know why the average African-American has a lighter complexion than the average African-African. But I digress.
"Hee hee heeeee …" chortles "HG Robinson" in the very first post to reporter Peter Dujardin's story last week on the local run on weaponry. "Clearly President Obama is looking to ban handguns and close loopholes in the law first chance he can. … You gun nuts better stock up now."
First, Obama hasn't said he wants to ban handguns.
His former colleague John Lott begs to differ on that, but just for grits and shins, let's go Lambert on the guy and assume he's lying. For all you or I know, maybe Obama never really did say he wanted to ban handguns. He did, however, write that he did, nodded when asked if he did, voted against the law stripping his home town and a few suburbs of their "right" to p
erosecute homeowners who use otherwise lawfully owned handguns in otherwise lawful self defense, refused to sign the Heller brief supporting a common-senes reading of the Second Amendment (or even the wishy-washy brief offered by the Bush Administration) and appointed Eric Holder, who had signed a different Heller brief advocating the "collective" (read: no) rights interpretation, a view too extreme even for the four dissenting Justices in that case. So pardon me when I refuse to take an ounce of solace from the fact that Obama supposedly never came out and said "I hereby want to ban handguns." To the extent that actions speak louder than words, he screamed it.
And second, my own theory is that HG is a so-called gun nut, himself or herself, just priming the pump.
And mine is "nanny nanny boo boo, everything you say bounces off me and sticks to you." Seriously, what the hell kind of argument was that supposed to be? Whether HG himself is or isn't a "gun nut" is irrelevant to whether or not his statement is factually accurate.
I have similar suspicions about a poster who signs off as "Tyrone" (really? Not Denzel or Tyrell or Sambo?) and taunts that he will "break into your house and rape you" and "Nobody should have guns but us thugs!"
Sure enough, some dupe bites.
Either that, or one obvious Moby responds to another, and the real dupe is the author of this article and any reader who believes her:
"Bring it on Tyrone," growls a "mr white," "and you will be one DEAD African!!!!!"
"Mr white," eh? Would that be this Mr. White? Obviously this is a staged argument between mobies, or possibly between a single Moby and himself, but sure enough, some dupe bites.
"People are concerned that they might not have the right to buy them later," York County gun shop manager Bill Winfree said in Friday's paper. "It's an unknown, but they don't want to get caught without it."
His customers' rationale is Obama's position on guns, which Winfree defines as "he doesn't want us to own any."
Pardon my French, but au contraire. Obama has said he supports the Second Amendment
He also said he supports handgun bans, as long as they are disingenuously described as "gun-safety" laws.
(which specifies a "well-regulated" militia, by the way)
Which means what, exactly, by-the-way? And far from "specifying" what a well-regulated militia is, it merely mentions that one is necessary.
as well as "common sense" gun laws.
Well, then. Either he won't try to take away our guns, or he will, but if he does, he promises to invoke "common sense" first. I feel better now.
He says he doesn't approve of taking shotguns, rifles or handguns from law-abiding citizens.
Pardon my French, but vous êtes une idiote if you actually believe that.
He likely will, however, oppose military-style assault weapons and concealed weapons. I don't happen to agree with his position on concealed weapons, but I'm not about to rush out and buy a Bushmaster because of it.
Let's see. You have a guy who hails from a city that prohibits handgun ownership outright, lives in a city that until recently prohibited not only handgun ownership but possession of rifles or shotguns in any manner that could conceivably enable the homeowner to defend himself, and who has spoken out vociferously in favor of both cities' "right" to pass such laws, while declining to drop so much as a hint that these laws are bad policy. From this we're supposed to deduce that left to his own devices, Obama will ban ugly guns that look as though they were suited toward military use, and will also try to make it illegal for any American to use any weapon to protect himself outside the home, but won't try to ban anything else. And we're supposed to be OK with a law prohibiting us from protecting ourselves outside the home because what the hey, we weren't supposed to leave home anyway.
No, it smells like something else is fueling the buying frenzy that happy gun shop owners say is bigger than Y2K. Bigger than 9/11. Bigger than Christmas.
And it smells a lot like oh-my-god-there's-a-black-man-in-the-White-House.
Right, 'cuz no one ever had a problem with a white guy who committed himself in writing to "the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns," or who inspired his own state's top gun lobbyist to say that "in all my years in the Capitol I have never met a legislator who harbors more contempt for the law-abiding firearm owner than does Barack Obama." Nope, couldn't have anything to do with that, so let's play the race card instead.
Simplistic? Pot calling the kettle.
Simplistic is beside the point. Try "completely and totally off-base."
A reader named "CAT" posits the same — perhaps subconscious — motive:
"You folks fear that with a black (muslim, terrorist, socialist, whatever) guy in the White House, somehow, crime will increase and, more specifically, black criminals will become more emboldened."
Now there's a way to find evidence to support one's position; ignore the facts, and find some other unnamed commenter who spews the same baseless crap that you do, and cite him/her/it as some kind of authority. There's not a shred of evidence that any of the recent run on gun stores is inspired by Obama's race, his chummy relationship with domestic terrorist (let alone equally baseless claims that he is one himself), his generally socialist outlook (not all socialists want to take away your guns), or "whatever" (whatever the hell that is supposed to refer to anyway).
So the wagons circle on slander and innuendo,
Help me out here. Is accusing Obama of wanting to ban handguns just because he said he doesn't believe that people should be able to own guns and wrote that he supports banning the manufacture, sale and possession of handguns a slander, an innuendo, or both?
and gun shops across the country report record sales. One shop owner in Georgia, the AP says, even put up an "Obama sale" sign — then took it down after complaints that it looked more like incitement than enticement.
Either that, or because it was too little and too late. I much prefer the gun stores that ran pre- election signs above the garbage can reading "Voting for Obama? Save time. Deposit your guns here."
For, don't forget — Obama isn't just a "black guy." He's a secret Muslim. An Arab. A pal of terrorists.
He isn't a Muslim or an Arab, and is (or at least was) a pal of at least one non-Muslim, non-Arab terrorist, but WTF has any of this to do with his long history of antipathy toward gun owners?
So readers brim with helpful advice to buy "one gun a month … in Virginia, it's the law!"
Well, FWIW it is the law. Virginia's gun laws are pretty good overall, but their "gun of the month club" law could use some work. The good news is that if you hold a CHP the law doesn't apply to you. In that case, don't limit yourself to one a month; walk into your favorite gun store and walk out with as many guns as you can afford / convince your wife/husband/etc. to let you buy.
FYIs on a "decent sale on ammo" and mail-in rebates for gun purchases. Boasts about an elephant gun and threats to shoot whatever part of burglars "the Rottis don't eat."
Ah, yes, overheated rhetoric that never existed until a black guy (albeit one not black enough for Ms. Dietrich's taste) came on the scene. All that "cold, dead hands" rhetoric you thought you remembered from years past? Never happened. In fact, there wasn't even an NRA until about two years ago, in response to Obama's candidacy. Prior to that, no black guy had a chance of becoming President, so why would anyone care about protecting their gun rights?
Good God, can just anybody get a job writing for a newspaper these days?
UPDATE: Welcome, Instapundit readers, Uncly-Wuncs, Snowflakes, Huns, the Coldly Furious and Boomstickers. Tam Non-Dietrich offers a nice rejoinder of her own:
And nobody's stocking up for a war, Ms. Dietrich, it's more of a "get 'em while you can" thing. For instance, if a candidate with a track record of voting to ban bad hairstyles had just been elected, wouldn't you be in line at Sally's, filling the cart with mousse right now?

Is it bad that I live in Williamsburg, grew up for several years in Newport News, and have never heard of the <i>Daily Press</i>? My parents always just read the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Norfolk Virginian-Pilot, or sometimes the Washington Post.
Everything's apparently about race now. I've been told that "socialist" is apparently now code for "black" (which raises the question of whether the NNDP regards Obama as half-socialist).
The good news, from what I've seen, is that there's starting to be a backlash. Objectively, it's a good thing for America that we finally will have a black man occupying the highest office in the country. It's a step forward and should help to further dilute whatever racism is still out there. Part of this, though, is that the whole "it's because he's black!" defense also goes by the wayside. It's gotten to the point where there's enough resentment against the presumption of racism that some are beginning to mock the accusation. That's also a good thing.

I'm probably way off here – I usually am on these predictions – but I don't know…
I forsee an exponential increase in the racial divide in America as a direct result of this man moving into the White House.
His extreme and radical socialist policies, his in-your-face racism, his arugula-eating elitism, his b!tch of a wife harping on endlessly about how hateful America is, his American hating Preacher of 20+ years, his terrorist, cop-killing buddies. All of these things – and SO MUCH MORE – will combine to renew the still burning embers of racial tensions and hatred that have been seething under the surface since the 50's and 60's.
Mr O will deliver violence to the streets of America faster and more intensely than ANY previous American President.
It is precisely for these reasons that so many Americans feel the need to protect themselves. They know – as I do – that to rely on the police or the government for help is the most ignorant think any American can do.
Read the book called: "Dial 911 and Die" and decide for yourself. Do you trust Mr O or his Jack Booted Thugs to be there in the middle of the night when some drug-addled punk is sliming his way into your daughters bedroom window?
And when he does, will you cower in your closet, clutching your cell phone and praying like hell that the under paid, out-of-shape, donut-eating cop cares enough to respond to your particular need in a timely manner?
Remember this, the Supreme court has ruled (on numerous occasions) that the "police are under no obligation to provide security or protection to citizens".
Did you get that? "Police Are Under No Obligation To Protect You." Police are there simply to act as "an auxilliary deterrant to crime" and basically just to clean up the mess after the crime has been committed.
No thanks. I choose to provide for my own protection. And if that scares some liberal-minded, yellow-journalist, well that's just tough dookie. Deal with it or go cower in your closet.

Here is the email I sent her
Sorry to disappoint your bigotry, Ma'am, I happen to be buying another ( soon to be banned) gun and more ammunition because of the Color of the Party in power, not the color of the President-elect's skin. I fear the Reds, not the blacks, browns, or whites. The dirty little secret in my family is that Mr Obama has more Caucasian ancestors than I do. I am sure glad I was not in LA during the Rodney King Riots, as I would be so confused, not sure to Riot because of my African ancestors, Defend my self in deference to my honorable Asian ancestors, or Sit on my fat American posterior watching the drama on TV like my Caucasian cousins.
I am buying guns because Mr Obama and friends are various shades of Red.
We see the writing on the wall, we know that the Pelosi-Reid gang is chomping at the bit, ready to force more insane restrictions on law abiding citizens in a futile attempt to stop law breakers from breaking laws.
I do not listen to the platitudes and pontifications emanating from the Dear Leader's mouth, I prefer to use his past as a prediction tool for his future performance. Mr. Obama is no friend of the second amendment. His deeds have proven that – in the state senate and what little he did in the US Senate followed the same pattern. He is gathering like minded people to his cabinet and as unofficial advisors. Yes I will admit that there are some angry white racists trolling the boards that you sought out. How nice of you to pepper your piece with cherry picked quotes as you try to tar all gun owners with the same brush. Who is more bigoted, a couple of mouth breathing idiots on the Internet, or the person who uses the newspaper's soapbox and her creative writing skills in lieu of her journalism skills to cast dispersions on 100 Million normal Americans who happen to own guns?
I wonder how loudly you would howl and what expletives you would use if they were to restrict your first amendment rights by limiting access to high speed, mass distribution media, maybe forcing all paid scriveners to register with the state and keep a database on your personal style of word usage, just in case some anonymous seditious message were to be penned. Ahh yes pens, the original weapon of the scribe – mightier than the sword, they say. Maybe all such tool of your trade should be licensed, taxed and restricted at the whim of your elected masters. It sure would stop a lot of drive by defamation. It would give 100 million Americans relief from being slurred with bigoted labels like "gun nut" "Rambo" "redneck" etc. Yet I would not support such restrictions on the first amendment as they all are equally inviolate. ( besides I may have to turn in my custom nibbed Namiki Pilot Vanishing Point fountain pens and my quick reload cartridges of ink.)
Personally, I do not like the AR-15 or the AK-47 style rifles, having spend too many years carrying a real M-16 and all the AK clones come from totalitarian regimes that I would rather not support with my dollars. But I am buying one of each, since they are sure to increase in value after the ban – a hedge fund of wood, steel and polymer I guess you could say. My preferred weapon of choice is the venerable M-14 clone. Large calibre, large capacity magazines and long distance knock-down power. I bought mine right before the last so-called Assault weapon ban was enacted, and it has served me well. I hunt with it using a standard capacity magazine, I shoot in competitions, long range and standard 300 meter matches, shooting paper, bowling pins and ringing steel plate gongs out to 1000 meters. Yes over half a mile 0.6241 to be exact. I own pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, fowling pieces and muskets. I use them all, each for a different purpose, just as I use pencils, ballpoint pens, fountain and dip pens, typewriters, and computers. As a matter of fact, this missive is being composed on a Panasonic Toughbook, the same model used by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan. Not a look-alike clone like the rifles we are permitted to own by our benevolent government, but the real thing! I did not have to go through a background check for this mil standard piece of first amendment hardware either. Isn't freedom wonderful?
It is interesting that the states and cities with the most restrictive gun laws have the most crime. Maybe you can get some Government Grant money to fund a study as to why criminals prefer unarmed victims. I would love to read the report. Maybe you can even use some of the money to take refresher courses in objectivity and journalistic ethics.

Thanks Tribal. I went to W&M and had never heard of the Daily Press and thought it was me who was asleep at the switch.
Tamara's essay is an excellent example of how liberals simply do not understand what the conservative arguments are. They believe they have refuted them somewhere, somehow, but have merely failed to apprehend them. Jonathan Haidt from UVA has very interesting research illustrating that liberals are simply unable to understand conservative moral reasoning, while we are fully capable of understanding theirs. (Haidt goes through some interesting contortions to show that it all proves that liberals are still better, but that's a minor irritation).

Well I for one thought it was a fine piece of investigative journalism into the comments on a Daily Press article. At least I assume it's comments to a DP article. That's how she describes it, though she links to just about every article but that. (Some may say that's ridiculous if not incompetent to not link to the very article she's discussing, but she has to protect her sources, right?)
In any case, it's a powerful, in-depth look at a handful of anonymous commenters on that one article. It speaks volumes about the world we live in. I can only hope she alerts us to further trends she discovers through the comment section.

Norman Conquest Says:
November 29th, 2008 at 1:47 pm
When candidate Obama could no longer duck the question, he told gun owners that he COULDN'T confiscate their guns — meaning that the Republicans in the Senate would filibuster any attempt to tighten gun ownership.
But I remember noting at the time that he never went on record as saying he WOULDN'T take them, only that political realities would make that impossible.

If it looks like a duck, waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck it must be a dog. That's how the left thinks.

But the progressive left has been believing a lie for over a century now I don't expect that to change either.

I've a friend at work, a reasonable democrat, voted against Kerry, etc. After the election he said people who wanted to stock up on guns were paranoids. "Nobody's going to take their guns away!" Then he spoke of a nephew who bought an "assault type" rifle, said that nobody needs a gun like that, and finished by comparing people like his nephew to people who keep a house full of poisnous snakes, and finished by saying that I don't have a right to do that. I asked how many people his nephew's "assault weapon" had killed so far. His respnse was, "I hope none" I'm sure he knew what I was driving at, but didn't want to acknowledge it.
So let me summarize the national conversation about guns in the coming years: "You're a paranoid! You're a paranoid! Gimme your gun!"

The author's use of the race issue is completely transparent to anyone used to reading crap like this; it's an attempt to conflate the desire to be able to defend one's self with racism. Take the race issue away and you have what is essentially a civil liberties problem — we have a right enshrined in the Bill of Rights that is threatened by a Democratic president.
That isn't supposed to happen, right? After all the Dems are awfully big on the rest of our rights (even imaginary or new ones like the "right to not have anyone look at what books you take out of the library", the "right to have unmonitored conversations with people in other countries", and of course the "right to marry someone with the same plumbing as you").
I am hoping that after spending the last 8 years railing against the alleged excesses of the Bush administration in curtailing our rights (I haven't noticed any impact on me personally), Obama will find it difficult to take away actual rights from people on the grounds that it might protect us from ourselves. Of course, it is possible that I'm being naive.
In which case, I will just have to cling to all the guns and religion I already have stocked. Which would be a considerable amount. ;)

I don't know what's dumber, an opinion piece based on anonymous comments on the internet, or an opinion piece response dissecting the first opinion piece.
9/10 comments on the internet are worthless, because that same person would never make that point to you in public. As I said in my response in their forum, the anonymity that the internet provides has a wonderful way of allowing people to be stupid. Her article is based on mostly stupid comments…so I'm not really sure what you expect the end result of her article to be.
Internet posters make stupid comments? OH GOD SOMEBODY ALERT THE INTERNET.
A better response to her article would have been to say why people are buying guns right now. Because we lived through the ban before, and we saw what happened last time. Prices jumped. Availability dropped. New guns manufactured during the ban had stupid restrictions that made them less valuable, desirable and functional. Crime? Well…crime wasn't really the point.
It's not because he's black (who cares). It's not because he's going to come get our guns (he can't).

I was out shopping yesterday for the best price on ammunition here in Arizona. Went to three gun shops – all three were literally full of customers – and I noticed that about one fourth of the buyers in all three were Hispanic.
I approached one middle aged man (Hispanic) and asked him why he was there and what he was buying. His reply was, "I am here to buy a rifle. Mr. Obama wants to stop me from doing this. I am a CITIZEN with rights. I learned these rights when I became a CITIZEN, so I will buy a gun today."
I shook his hand.

The current officeholder of the Office of the President-elect has stated previously that his first act will be to sign the Freedom Of Choice Act. This legislation is intended to supercede ALL state local and municipal laws that IN ANY WAY infringe on a woman's ability to obtain an abortion on demand.
Given Obama's leftwing political views and his noted antipathy to the 2nd Amendment, why would we be surprised if he tried similar such legislation regarding our 2nd Amendment rights? A bill that would supercede ALL state local and municipal laws that permit Americans to have guns in their homes, or on their persons. It would have a wonderfully innocuous title such as the "Freedom From Violence Act", but its intended effect would be to disarm law-abiding citizens.

I work in a "progressive" environment and fairly frequently encounter the "only idiots own guns" in-joke among new hires before announcing that I have some. Usually there's a brief tense silence followed by a clearing of the throat and a change of topic.
"Progressives" used to say that people hate gays because they're afraid of things they can't understand, afraid of what's different (diversity, now). Oddly I don't hear the same argument used by the same people about gun owners.

My wife, one who would not use a weapon if her life depended on it, has urged me to buy more ammo after hearing Mr. Obama's position on firearms. We live in a rural area and one is lucky to have the police at your home within 30 minutes; been there, saw that! In my area calling 911 is only a courtesy; weapons locked and loaded is unfortunately a necessity in our modern world.

Isn't the Newport News Daily Press the same newspaper that was trying to print the names and home addresses of Virginia concealed carry license holders a few years back?
Seems to me that this is a newspaper that has too many paying advertisers.
[Not to my knowledge. You may be thinking of the Roanoke Times, whose writer, Christian Tejbal, used the same smug line "au contraire" to defend his indefensible actions. Then again, for all I know, maybe the Daily Press pulled that stunt, too. -X]

. . . Swans midfielder swaps Liberty for Anfield
Swansea City have completed the transfer of midfielder Joe Allen to Liverpool for an undisclosed fee.
The Welsh international finalised the move to Anfield this evening after indicating he would like a new challenge after being part of the Swans set up since the age of nine.
Swans chairman, Huw Jenkins, was disappointed to see the 22-year-old leave the Liberty Stadium, but wished the popular Allen good luck.
"It is with great reluctance that we have agreed to the transfer of Joe to Liverpool,'' said Huw. "As chairman it is always a bitter disappointment when a young player who has been with us for a length of time decides his future lies elsewhere.
"We are very lucky at Swansea City that football decisions are taken without any financial pressure to sell. But that also makes some decisions even more disappointing when they happen like this.
"However, as always, we will deal with those disappointments in the right manner and we wish Joe all the very best from everyone at Swansea City. It's been a pleasure watching him grow and develop as a footballer and a person, while his professionalism and commitment to the cause has never been in doubt from the very first day he joined us. The door will always be open for him here.
"Now, as we always do when a manager or player leaves us, we will re-focus and galvanise ourselves as a football club and make sure we continue to strengthen the squad ready for the start of the new Barclays Premier League season.''
Liverpool boss, Brendan Rodgers, said: "I'm absolutely delighted that Joe has made the decision to come with us on this journey.
"Joe is a player whose profile will fit perfectly with the ideas of this group. His ability to control and dominate the ball is an important ingredient in our attempt to gain success on the field.
"Joe has had a fantastic education at Swansea City and will now begin the next chapter in his exciting career, and I wish him all the very best in what I'm sure will be a long and distinguished career here at Liverpool."
Allen issued his heart-felt thanks to the Swansea City faithful for their support over the last 13 years.
"Having come through the ranks and been part of Swansea City for so long I have built up a massive attachment to the club and the fans,'' explained Allen.
"I've really enjoyed my time at the club and will always be eternally grateful to the fans for the support they've shown me over the years.
"I've always been ambitious and while it is hard to leave a club I love, this is a fantastic challenge for me that I had to take. Having been with the club for so long, it's a fresh and new challenge; a new chapter I needed to get started.
"I wouldn't have changed my time at the club for the world and I'm proud to have been part of something that has been so exciting over the last few years. The club has been moving in the right direction and I'm sure it will continue to do so without me.
"I'm going to miss a lot of friends and family in Swansea, but I would like to wish the staff, players and supporters the very best for the future.''
The local Narberth-born product made his league debut for the Swans in the final game of the 2006-07 season as a substitute against Blackpool, before going on to make 129 league appearances.
His impressive displays earned the Welsh speaker a call up to the recent GB Olympic team.
Swansea City would like to wish Joe Allen good luck with his new challenge.

8-Bit News: Week of August 22
Mr. Black brings you another look a this past weeks gaming news! 8-bit Mickey's video quick look is coming later today.
Bloodrayne: Betrayal Release Date Moved for Xbox
A few weeks ago it was announced the downloadable game, Bloodrayne: Betrayal, would be coming to Xbox Live Arcade on October 6th, one month after the Playstation Network release. Well Xbox owners may now rejoice, the release date has been moved up to September 7th, one day after it comes out on PSN.
For those of you who aren't aware of Bloodrayne: Betrayal, it's a 2D revival of a terrible, terrible 3D game series. If you haven't played the original games, count yourself lucky.
So why should you care about Betrayal if the other games weren't any good? Well it looks like one of the most gorgeous 2D action games I've ever seen, not to mention it has a classic Castlevania feel and look to it. For that reason alone this game is on my radar. Any game that reminds me of classic Castlevania automatically gets me pumped.
Just to recap, Bloodrayne: Betrayal will be available September 6th on PSN and September 7th on XBLA at the price of $14.99 or 1200 Microsoft points.

Sonic CD to Finally be Rereleased
Over the years Sega has released a large amount of the Sonic the Hedgehog catalogue on many different downloadable platforms. However, arguably the best Sonic game hasn't been available… until now.
The 1993 Sega CD game, Sonic CD, is coming to pretty much every current generation gaming platform. It will be available for Xbox Live Arcade, Playstation Network, PC, iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7. It looks doubtful for a WiiWare version of the game as it apparently surpasses Nintendo's storage limit. No release date was given but Sega says it will be available sometime this year.
For those of you who are too young or if you're one of the many people who never got to play a Sega CD I highly recommend trying out Sonic CD. It was the most fun I've had playing a Sonic game and the soundtrack is just amazing. I promise once you hear the starting theme it will be stuck in your head for days. Look it up youtube and I promise you'll be singing it moments after.

New Counter Strike to Have a Verity of Playing Options on PS3
Like Portal 2 which released earlier this year, the upcoming Counter Strike: Global Offensive is extra support on Playstation 3.
Not only will you be able to play the game with your standard Dualshock 3 controller, but it will also support the Playstation Move controller as well as mouse and keyboard for you "purists". It also looks like the PS3 version will support Steamworks, which makes the game playable cross platform with PCs and Macs with Steam.
Good to see Valve continuing its support of the PS3. It's unfortunate Xbox 360 owners don't get the same kinds of options and support thanks to Microsoft's crazy platform restrictions. Hopefully this will change in the future. We know Mr. Valve himself, Gabe Newell, hopes the restrictions will change.

Dead Rising 2: Off the Record Getting Sandbox Mode
Capcom's finally giving its zombie-murdering fans something they've begged for: A sandbox mode in Dead Rising 2.
The feature will be coming to the upcoming Dead Rising 2: Off the Record; which is a reimagining of Dead Rising 2 starring the original game's protagonist Frank West. Finally players will be able to do whatever they want without having to worry about a timer constantly ticking down for your objectives.
To go along with the mode, optional challenges have been added. For example: killing as many zombies as you can in a set timeframe. There will also be photography challenges so Frank can show off his skills.
Typically I make fun of Capcom's constant milking and rehashing of its franchises, but this is a really smart move. Finally opening up their zombie playground to allow players to do whatever they want will more than likely help sell a few copies. The $40 price tag helps too.
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record hits stores October 11th.

Bethesda Once Again Giving Timed Exclusives to Xbox
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is one of this years most anticipated titles. If you've seen any gameplay footage you can easily see why.
The game's developer, Bethesda announced at least two downloadable installments are on the way post launch. They also announced the chapters will be timed-exclusives to the Xbox 360. Playstation 3 and PC owners of the game will have to wait 30 days for the content to be available on their platforms.
This isn't too surprising considering the same thing was done with Bethesda's other franchise Fallout, allowing Xbox 360 owners first dibs at getting DLC.
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will be available for purchase November 11th.

I prefer to use only cleaning products that are natural, so that I am much less likely to contaminate my fish tanks when going back & forth between the two. I even use other natural cleaners such as Method brand throughout my home so that we are not putting our pet's health in jeopardy throughout day-to-day living.

Most specifically I find when using this product to clean something slanted or vertical it is best to drape a paper towel on whatever it is and spray the paper towel through to it. Let it "soak" as directed on the bottle for a few minutes, then make sure you wipe it off with a *wet* paper towel/cloth/what-have-you as directed on the bottle. When I use it this way it works wonders on the hard water 'crust' on the glass canopy, light cover, filter cover, miscellaneous. I love this product!I did find that when I didn't follow those exact instructions (i.e., surface was not in contact with solution while the 3 minutes was going on, it was left there long enough to evaporate or drip off, or I wiped the solution off with a dry paper towel/cloth) it was singularly unimpressive. But hey, that's what directions are for. ^_^

Cosworth IM install - what a NIGHTMARE
Posting this for reference/search purposes and I have a question for those of you that have installed this item.
Now, I have been working and modifying cars and trucks for 16 years. Everything from engine and cam swaps, intake swaps, trans rebuilds, etc. The Cosworth intake manifold is the second worst install of any part that I have ever installed (first worst was a set of bassani equal length headers on a lightning).
First of all, the Cosworth instructions show how to install the manifold with the engine pulled. Well, any idiot can bolt on an intake with the engine out of the car....thanks for nothing Cosworth.
Note, if you have cruise control....like most focuses do....you need to modify or buy a special kit in order for you to retain cruise control. of course, this isnt in the instructions. They just say "call cosworth if you wish to retain cruise control with this intake." thats a crock of crap
Next: you are supplied with a 12mm brass button. Hmmmm, where does it go? Its no where in the structions. Oh, look there is a hole that is kind of threaded, but kind of not. Fast forward to an hour of research.....you tap this plug into that hole. again, nowhere in the instructions does it say to do this.
Next: since the cosworth intake eliminates the butterfly flaps on both 2.0 and 2.3 intake manifolds, you will be eliminating the vacuum hose assembly that controls these butterfly flaps. I belive there is a sensor that gets deleted also....and....you guessed it....not in the instructions.
Onto bolting on the intake.....good luck. Now, I know a lot of people have done this without issue. I am not one of those people. There is a sensor on the PS pump hose that the manifold will not clear. It is RIGHT up against the sensor. I had to use a screwdriver in order to get the holes lined up on the intake because I couldnt move the intake over far enough (this is on an 05 model).
The pcv bung supplied would not fit the tapped hole on the intake manifold. I tried and my friend tried. I had to cut the pcv bung and JB weld it to the intake. Let me say, that thing is never coming off now. Also, since you have to trim the PCV hose....disregard the instructions. I cut mine per the spec supplied...and even left it a little bigger. When I went to install it, it was over 1.5" short! I had to order a new hose.
I had to reshape the dipstick tube in order to get it to fit correctly.
There are three bolts that go on the bottom of the intake. The one near the throttle body is a piece of cake. The center bolt...well, I had to use a pair of needlenose pliers and gently get the bolt started. Then you can start to torque it down....about 1/16" of a turn at a time. But, at least you can get to it.
Now, the bolt near the PS pump has me at a complete loss. I have tried to get to it from every angle. I can barely see the hole, let alone get to it. The only way I can see to get to this is to completely remove the ps pump in order to get access to that bolt. Now, if that is the case, that is not in the instructions. If this must be done, its going to be an additional PITA because the PS fluid will have to be drained, hoses removed from hardline....because you cant access the bottom PS bolt unless you remove all of that.
So, here I sit. 5 bolts snugged down, but not tightened down with no way to get to the final bolt.
Had I known it would be this difficult, I would have taken it somewhere to install it.....or built my own custom sheetmetal intake.
So, does anyone know how to access the bolt near the PS pump?!

CANADA STOCKS-TSX futures point higher start for Canadian stocks
May 12(Reuters) - Canadian stocks looked set to open higher on Monday as investors set aside worries about a possible escalation in Ukraine's civil conflict after separatist rebels declared a resounding victory in a referendum on Sunday.
June futures on the S&P TSX index <0#SXF:> were up 0.21 percent at 0730 ET.
The index fell slightly on Friday as unexpectedly sluggish jobs data and worries about escalating tensions in Ukraine spurred declines in the energy and financial sectors.

The function is supoosed to find parameters, for given Model, which

Can the *model* itself be of a *numerical* nature? In other words, can
the model be smth like
It seems that this does not work, although it should(?) if one
supplies the Parameters to NonlinearRegress in the form
{theta1,{thetastart1, thetastart2}}, so that no symbolic derivatives
are looked for.

Nice review it looks like the Sony has some great features and it's a nice looking piece, congrats.
Thanks, I was hoping it was the same speakers but figured there was a chance this was a new everything type upgrade. With new speakers you are right, hard to say what is doing more, but good to know the combo you have sounds good.
Hey @CamaroDrvr,
I know it isn't much, but I had an older Sony receiver, don't have the model though, which this is better. Sadly though I have to state that it is equal chance the new speakers I am using as it is the receiver. I don't have a way to test the sound quality against an older receiver with all other things equal. If there's anything else I can share though to help make an informed decision about the receiver, please let me know.
Thanks for the review, sounds like it was pretty painless setting it up, have you had a chance to compare the sound on something you know well on the old receiver?

Please always state mods you are running the game with. This DOES NOT happen when clean game is ran.
 CG Animations - Bug #22095: Roll after sprint from a crouching position http://dev.withsix.com/issues/22095?journal_id=100709 2011-07-09T15:31:34+00:00 GNCJamesRyan email@example.com

This is a good point, shame on me, I will look into this immediately.

I have tested it without any mods now on TFor from Bio-Inf and the "bug" is STILL active, means i will end my sprint after crouching with a roll ;) So i do not believe it is a problem between other modifications. But I will give you my key settings from the critical part:

So i toggle to crouch with Control/Strg, means my soldier crouches in one of the two animations. Than i start running EITHER with the turbo key, bind on the thumb button of my mouse OR with Shift + W. In BOTH cases the soldier ENDS the sprint with a roll forward.

Problem found!

I have tried different sequences of the involved keys and the thing is:

It Happens ALWAYS when u are in a sprint (beginning in crouch position) and you press TURBO longer than W! Means: I start crouching, start than sprinting with Shift + W or TURBO + W and then i release SHIFT/TURBO but hold down the key W, than I make a roll.

If I end the sprint with releasing W BEFORE Shift/Turbo, i do not make a roll. So this might help you.

Edit: If wished and may help i will post the mods i used the first time, but should be obsolete.
