A top Republican said today that President Obama's health care law may be constitutional, but it remains bad policy and the GOP will continue trying to repeal it.
"In the middle of a tough economy, President Obama passed a health care law that has made our economy even worse," said Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., in the weekly Republican radio address.
Barrasso, a doctor, said that "by forcing expensive new health care mandates through Congress," Obama has "made it harder for Americans to find good jobs and provide for their families."
The address ran two days after the Supreme Court upheld the law Obama signed in 2010.
Presidential candidate Mitt Romney and other Republicans have vowed to make repeal of the health care law a major issue in the November elections.
Obama said this week that, given the Supreme Court's decision, it is time to move forward with the law designed to provide health insurance to all Americans.
The Republican radio address:
Hi. I'm Dr. John Barrasso, United States Senator for Wyoming.
The president and his allies in Congress are going to try to convince the public that the Supreme Court just gave the health care law a seal of approval.
The fact is that this is the same failed policy that won't lower the cost of health care in America.
On Thursday, I was in the courtroom as the Supreme Court ruled that the president's health care law is what the president claimed it was not: a new tax.
President Obama has repeatedly promised, and I quote, 'if you're a family making less than $250,000 a year, my plan,' he said, 'won't raise your taxes one penny.'
Now, all of America knows the truth.
The president's health care law hires more IRS agents to investigate you and to make sure you buy insurance -- but it fails to deal with the shortage of nurses and doctors to actually take care of you.
The president's health care tax is only one of his many broken promises related to this law.
He promised lower health care costs, but they keep going up.
He promised lower insurance premiums, but they've increased $2,400 a family over the past three years.
He promised the law would create jobs, but the Congressional Budget Office projects that 800,000 fewer people will have jobs because of this law.
He promised it wouldn't add a dime to the deficit, but the law calls for trillions of dollars in new spending that Americans don't want.
The president said he would protect Medicare-but instead he raided $500 billion from our seniors on Medicare - not to strengthen Medicare - but to start a whole new government program for someone else.
Even after the Supreme Court ruling was announced, the president said that if you like the insurance you have, you can keep it.
Mr. President, because of your law, many Americans have already lost the health insurance that they had and they liked.
Each broken promise proves that the Supreme Court's ruling did absolutely nothing to improve the president's failed health care law.
It remains unworkable, unaffordable, and very unpopular.
Americans deserve better.
As a doctor who's practiced medicine for 25 years, I know that the health care system in this country is far from perfect. It's one of the reasons I ran for the Senate in the first place.
The goal of health care reform all along should have been to ensure that people get the care they need, from the doctor they choose, at a lower cost.
Under President Obama's health care law, they got the exact opposite-tax increases and government control.
Now we have another chance to reform our health care system and in a way that does not result in higher costs, in fewer choices, and less personal control.
There should be no doubt: Republicans in Congress will fight to repeal the president's failed health care law.
It is a law that is bad for patients, it is bad for the nurses and the doctors who care for those patients, and it's terrible for taxpayers.
In the middle of a tough economy, President Obama passed a health care law that has made our economy even worse.
By forcing expensive new health care mandates through Congress, he's made it harder for Americans to find good jobs and provide for their families.
With unemployment at over 8 percent for over 40 straight months, we cannot afford for this tax to stay in place any longer.
Once we have repealed the law, we will tackle the serious problems that plagued our health care system and are now getting worse.
We will replace this law with real reforms that will actually lower costs and improve access to care.
We will not make the same mistakes the Democrats made.
We will not raise taxes in the middle of a recession.
We will not push through a 2,700 page bill the American people can't afford and don't want.
Unlike President Obama, we will not cut deals behind closed doors to protect special interest groups, or include political carve outs for some states at the expense of others.
What we will do is make sure that our health care system is truly patient-centered, not government-centered.
Republicans in Congress are committed to a step-by-step approach that's focused on lowering the cost of care.
That means common sense solutions, like allowing premium breaks to encourage healthy behavior.
It means letting consumers buy insurance across state lines, and letting small businesses pool together to offer affordable health insurance to their workers.
It means finally ending the lawsuit abuse that leads doctors to practice defensive medicine by ordering expensive and unnecessary tests.
Now that the Supreme Court has acted, the American people cannot afford for Congress to wait any longer.
It is time for Washington to repeal the president's health care law and replace it with real health care reform.

A friend of mine's husband recently passed away. There were obviously lots of tears as he was one of the "good guys" that was destined to only be with us 47 years. His wife asked me to go to the funeral home with her in order to make the funeral arrangements.
Being in our 30's, we never thought we would be sitting in a funeral director's office having to pour through catalogs of caskets and urns. It was tough.
But sometimes when there are no more tears left, a little laughter is necessary.
As we sat in the small room with the kind funeral director reviewing all the music options for the funeral, there was this moment when we looked at each other and just burst out laughing.
The music options included Endless Love and Somewhere Over the Rainbow. The thought of either of those songs playing in the background during the service made us chuckle. We knew her husband was looking down at us then and there shouting out "don't even think about it!"
And suddenly I turned to my friend and said "You know, one day my husband might be sitting here making the same decisions about my funeral." We burst out laughing again!
Because we knew if he were in charge it would go something like this:
"Angel would want me to go cheap - cheaper the better." And my ghost would be hovering above screaming out, "Don't listen to him I want the gilded gold casket - the big one!"
"She would want to it to be a simple, small gathering." And again my ghost would be having a fit hollering. " No, no, no, I want it big, with an organ and soloist and a room filled to the brim with flowers. And afterwards I want mourning lots of mourning for days on end. And some wailing, yes definitely some wailing too!"
Beads of sweat formed on my forehead. I needed a funeral plan or else I was likely to be buried in the back yard.
That night when I came home I gave Brody strict instructions of what I expected at my funeral.
Then I said, "And afterwards I want to be cremated and I want you to keep me in a marble urn next to your bedside. And if possible, I want the urn to play my voice - in a continuous loop."
He finally looked up from his paper as I'd peaked his interest. "What would it say?"
"You know, the usual. Where are you going…what are you doing…don't leave me here on this table, take me with you!"
"So basically your funeral plan is to nag me even after you are gone."
And with that, Brody just cemented the playing of Endless Love at his own funeral - - - in a continuous loop.

Angel Kane and Becky Andrews live in Wilson County. This is their story (or tale) about their life, families and times that they share. Besides their weekly column Telling Tales Angel and Becky Co Founded Wilson Living Magazine. The idea of developing a magazine for Wilson County first came to Becky and Angel one afternoon while they sat on her back porch watching their children play in the backyard.
They were discussing the outpouring of emails, calls and responses to their column "Telling Tales" and wanted to find a way to capture that community spirit. People were stopping them wherever they went to share their own "tales." They suddenly realized everyone has a story to tell and many of these stories were amazing. And in that moment, Wilson Living Magazine came to life. Be sure to check out Wilson Living Magazine at www.wilsonlivingmagazine.com

Election 2013: Invigoration needed
In little more than three weeks, you can go to a polling place near you and decide who will lead the government in your borough or township.
For the most part, these elections of council members, mayors and township supervisors have been popularity contests.
If you don't know the candidates, you may not even vote. There is little "celebrity" attraction elsewhere on the ballots, unless you consider the leadership qualities offered by candidates for sheriff or coroner — both important offices, but they do not make policy decisions.
What would enliven this political process in your community?
Candidates need to stand out from the pack and offer one or two creative ideas such as:
• finding ways to encourage more public involvement in municipal business, creating time at public meetings for looking ahead and airing new ideas;
• developing rapport with neighboring leaders and exploring cooperative efforts;
• using the visibility of an elected position to draw attention to community efforts that are not normally the "duties" of a council member, supervisor or mayor.
Recently we have seen examples of such creativity. Developers Larry Nelson and Ed Evans are turning the Shannock Valley High School into a youth center. And Kittanning Police Chief Bruce Mathews held a free spaghetti dinner to reinvigorate the borough's crime-watch program.
There are creative ideas to be shared, and for the best candidates to make them known.

1. Re: LG Cosmos Touch - CDMA USB Modem Driver Error?SuzyQ Dec 27, 2010 2:28 PM (in response to jagphd)As far as I can glean from reading, the tl bootstrap is an add-on for the android phones(?) and causes more headaches than it solves - I'm not sure what it does or what it is for; my guess would be you don't need it.
Next question - why are you trying to install a modem driver for the Cosmos Touch? Are you trying to use it to tether an internet connection for your laptop/desktop PC? I don't think the Cosmos is even capable of that . . . so there's no need for the modem driver. And if it is capable, you need to pay extra for the tethering use...
If you are simply trying to use the USB to read the SD card in the phone, you don't need a modem driver . . . when yo hook the phone up to the computer, hit END to cancel out of whatever pops up at first, then go to your Menu (on the phone) >> Settings and Tools >> Tools >> USB Mass Storage. then you should see the phone as a drive on your computer.
If you are trying to sync music, you'll need the VCast Media Manager software, I think....
2. Re: LG Cosmos Touch - CDMA USB Modem Driver Error?jagphd Dec 27, 2010 11:29 PM (in response to SuzyQ)
When I plug in the Phone I get a Windows Autoplay window asking me what I want to do.
One is install TL Bootstrap the other is explore.
If I choose explore I see the following files
Tools (directory)
LG (icon)
The Tools directory contains the file LGUSBmodemdrivers_WHQL_Eng_Ver_4.9.7_NP_Win7
If I choose Install TL bootstrap it starts to install but then stops and tells me to re-install the USB modem driver.
Now if I do nothing, this Autoplay window disappears after about 30 seconds and a new one launches for the SD Disk that is in the phone. That works fine.
3. Re: LG Cosmos Touch - CDMA USB Modem Driver Error?edpike109 Sep 12, 2011 12:39 AM (in response to jagphd)
I have the same problem, basically. I plug in the phone via USB, 2 options appear: bootstrap from LG or browse files. I run bootstrap. 2 LG icons appears in my tool tray. One disappears almost instantly. Then, before I can click on it, the other one disappears, nothing is appearing on the desktop now. Earlier, I ran it and it did appear, but it said a file was missing. When I browse the phones memory, I can see the file there. I try to transfer it to the desk top but as soon as i click copy, the whole folder disappears.
I am running windows 7 pro 64 bit.
4. Re: LG Cosmos Touch - CDMA USB Modem Driver Error?edpike109 Sep 12, 2011 2:01 AM (in response to edpike109)
I fixed this by choosing the "browse files" option again. I pressed the OK button on the phone every now and then to keep it from going to sleep. This kept the file dialog open long enough for me to copy the install files from the phone's memory. I copied them to the desktop. I trid to run the bootstrap file. It did not seem to work. I ran the driver file down in the sub folder and that worked. It installed 3 drivers. It took a sec to begin running, so I had already opened a second copy and had to close that. So don't rush. Phone works fine now. Under USB options, I have the option to choose mass storage mode, modem mode (weird way of saying access phone memory?) and "ask each time". I still feel like there is some sort of phone managing software missing.
5. Re: LG Cosmos Touch - CDMA USB Modem Driver Error?vhenchel Mar 26, 2014 8:48 AM (in response to SuzyQ)
Going to USB Mass Storage Device in the Settings & Tools worked like a charm! You had to be at that place when you plug the phone into the computer, but I was then able to get all my pics off my phone.

Yuvraj eyeing t20 World Cup comeback
Indian batsman Yuvraj Singh is eyeing an amazing comeback in time for the t20 World Cup in Sri Lanka at the end of September.
Having battled against cancer, and undergone chemotherapy the 30 year old is hoping to return to the Indian squad before the start of the t20 World Cup.
"I don't want to rush and I don't want to come back at 75 percent fitness. I might take six months, I might take two months. So I don't know. But the day I feel 100 hundred percent, I surely will be back," said Yuvrah to the ICC Cricket 360° show.

I have a good amount of programing experience, but I am currently stuck on something:
I recently downloaded Joomla 7 and Wordpress 3.3 on my MacBook Pro (Running Snow Leopard) and want to develop them locally before I put them up.
With both programs, I encounter errors whenever they try to create a file path (for example, wordpress gives me an error when I trying uploading an image or uploading a them).
I have already give all of the necessary files the necessary permissions, and have scoured the internet for answers, but I still can't find an answer.
This is really driving me crazy because I have worked with wordpress locally before and have also created files paths of my own with php applications.
I haven't really done any programming recently, so I guess there might be something I'm missing, but I get the feeling there is something wrong with the global permissions on the operating system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What permissions are you applying to each of the directories? It's very possible that there are simply incorrect permissions set.Important Links: Community Guidelines : Use the reputation system if you've been helped.

Random thoughts...
-some applications require specific permissions on some platforms ie: .ssh won't work on some systems with 777 permissions, only 644 permissions on the authorized_keys and known_hosts files. Perhaps yours needs specific permissions: chmod
-some applications require installation by a specific user, or a user in a specific group. Perhaps yours needs to be owned by, or included in a specific group: chown chgrp
-some applications require links to their executable instead of just using the actual file. Perhaps you need a link in your home directory pointing to a file: lnNever judge a man, untill you have walked a mile in his shoes...
That way you'll be a mile away from him, and you'll have his shoes.

Thanks for the help!
I am currently giving 775 permission to the wp-includes file.
I'll look into some of the other suggestions too.
Have you read this?
Other research leads me to believe that the permissions on the wp-includes directory need to be set to 755, not 775.Important Links: Community Guidelines : Use the reputation system if you've been helped.

Have Parenting Questions? Ask a Parenting Counselor for Answers
It sounds to me like you have handled the situation quite well. They are now aware that this is going to be unacceptable to you. I'm sure your son knew he was pushing what you'd be okay with, but it is quite possible that his girlfriend thought they were okay since they were both clothed. I would let your son know that you still feel very uncomfortable about this, and that he needs to be much more careful, especially in your home, and then I would recommend you give him the benefit of the doubt that as an adult he will reconsider his choice and make the right decision. If he does not and this continues to be an issue, you may need to not allow him to have her in his room.

The tax burden on Utah residents is decreasing over time and is now a bit lighter than for most Americans, according to a report released Tuesday by the Tax Foundation, a Washington-based research group.
It says Utahns paid 9.3 percent of their income in state and local taxes in fiscal 2010, down from 9.6 percent in 2009 and 10.0 percent in 2008.
Utah's tax burden ranked 29th highest among the states in 2010 (the most recent year calculated), an improvement from 26th the previous year. As recently as 2000, Utah had the ninth-highest tax burden among the states, the report said.
Tax Foundation data show that as a percentage of income the burden in Utah also had been higher than the national average in recent decades, but finally came in lower than the average in 2009 and 2010. The national average in 2010 was 9.9 percent.
Elizabeth Malm, an economist with the foundation, said Tuesday that "both taxes paid and income for Utah decreased" in fiscal 2010 amid tough economic times, but "the decrease in taxes was more pronounced. This resulted in a lower burden rate."
The foundation figures the tax burden by dividing the income of all residents of a state by the total state and local taxes they pay. The taxes paid are not necessarily to their own state.
For example, Alaska raises 70 percent of its tax revenue from taxes on oil drilled there but that is paid by residents of all states through higher prices on gasoline. Tourist-rich states such as Florida raise much of their sales taxes from visitors. So the foundation tries to figure how much every state shares in such taxes.
The foundation figured that Utahns paid $3,181 per person in state and local taxes in 2010, but $955 of that actually went to other states through "pass-along-taxes" such as increased costs of goods they bought because of taxes elsewhere.
The report said New York residents had the heaviest tax burden, at 12.8 percent of their income, followed by New Jersey, 12.4 percent; and Connecticut, 12.3 percent.
The lowest tax burdens were in Alaska, 7.0 percent; South Dakota, 7.6 percent; and Tennessee, 7.7 percent.

Johnny Vander Meer, 82, No-Hit Master, Dies
Johnny Vander Meer, the Cincinnati Reds left-hander who in 1938 threw two consecutive no-hit games -- the only pitcher in major league history to accomplish the feat -- died yesterday at his home in Tampa, Fla. He was 82.
The cause was an abdominal aneurysm, his lawyer, Bob Carlton, said.
''At least once a day I hear about my no-hitters,'' Vander Meer remarked decades after his stunning achievement. ''It's just something that's caught the public's imagination.''
When the 1938 season opened, Vander Meer was just another young pitcher with a lot of promise. He had an excellent fastball but often had trouble finding the plate.
The son of a Dutch-born stonemason, he had grown up in Midland Park, N.J., idolizing the Giants' superb screwball pitcher, Carl Hubbell.
Vander Meer signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers' farm system in 1932, but eventually wound up in the Reds' organization and made his debut in the major leagues in 1937.
His extraordinary pitching run began on Saturday afternoon, June 11, 1938, when he threw a no-hitter against the Boston Braves at the Reds' Crosley Field, a 3-0 victory in which he walked three men and retired the last 13 batters.
There was excitement galore at Ebbets Field the night of June 15 as Vander Meer prepared to take the mound again before a crowd of almost 39,000. The fans were treated to a fireworks display and a sprinting exhibition by Jesse Owens, and then Vander Meer was presented with a watch.
But the hoopla had nothing to do with Vander Meer's being in position to pitch a second straight no-hit game. The air was festive because this was the first night game ever played at Ebbets Field. And Vander Meer was honored simply because several hundred of his hometown folks from Midland Park, including his mother and father, had come to Brooklyn to see him pitch.
As the game moved along, Vander Meer was, as usual, having control problems. But relying at first on his fastball, then mixing in curves, he went to the ninth with a 6-0 lead and another no-hitter in sight.
The first batter, Buddy Hassett, tapped a grounder toward first base. Vander Meer picked the ball up and tagged him. But then he walked Babe Phelps, Cookie Lavagetto and Dolph Camilli, giving him eight walks.
''What I was doing was forcing myself, trying to throw the ball harder than I could,'' he would recall.
Manager Bill McKechnie went to the mound to settle him down. ''Just get it over the plate,'' he said.
The next hitter, Ernie Koy, grounded to third baseman Lew Riggs, who threw home for a forceout. Now there were two outs. The count went to one ball and two strikes on Leo Durocher, the Dodger manager and shortstop. Durocher hit a fly to center field, where Harry Craft caught it easily.
At age 23, Vander Meer had his second straight no-hit game, and he was an instant celebrity. A sports columnist in Cincinnati would suggest that a granite statue of Vander Meer be erected alongside that of President James Garfield in a downtown park.
In his next outing, on June 19 at Boston, Vander Meer pitched no-hit ball until there was one out in the fourth. Then Debs Garms hit a single to left-center field, ending the hitless streak at 21 2/3 innings. (That included the final batter Vander Meer retired in the game before his first no-hitter.)
Vander Meer went on to a 15-10 record that season. He led the National League in strikeouts in 1941, '42 and '43, was four times an All-Star, and in a 13-year major league career spent almost entirely with the Reds, he had a record of 119-121.
Vander Meer is survived by a sister, Garberdina Nywening of Midland Park, and two grandchildren, Troy Coverdale and Lauren Latimer, both of Tampa, Fla.

Sonny Bill Williams wasn't the only new face at All Blacks training yesterday - Chiefs halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow and lock Craig Clarke also joined the action in Auckland along with Hurricanes five-eighth Beauden Barrett.
Williams's drawn-out contract saga finally came to a close with the New Zealand Rugby Union and his Japanese club Panasonic Wild Knights agreeing to terms for a two-week deal that will see the star midfield back play the first two Bledisloe Cup tests before moving to Asia.
''I think when you know there are going to be a few complications you sit back and relax a bit,'' assistant coach Ian Foster said. ''We've just been waiting. But the fact that he's here training today and was here with us last night is fantastic - we have got a full week's preparation.''
Insurance arrangements have been sorted out and Williams has passed his medical. He looked fit and certainly seemed to be enjoying his time at training. There is little doubt he will team up with Ma'a Nonu in the midfield for Saturday night's opener against the Wallabies in Sydney.
Kerr-Barlow, Clarke and Barrett won't be in the mix for that match, but Foster said the All Blacks felt it was important to get them involved ahead of this second stage of the season - that is the Rugby Championship, which now incorporates Argentina in a four-team competition.
Their presence will help make up numbers for opposed training, as well as give them a taste of the All Blacks' methods. Foster left little doubt that Kerr-Barlow was seen as the next halfback in the pecking order, Barrett had a key role as a back-up No. 10, as was shown in the third test against Ireland, and the All Blacks were keen to monitor Clarke's knee injury with their locking numbers restricted to just three specialists in their current squad of 28.
''Beauden was with us in June, obviously we have reduced our squad size, but it's just a chance to give him a couple of days early in our camp just to keep it fresh in his mind what we are doing,'' Foster said.
Foster knows Kerr-Barlow from his time with the Chiefs and is happy with his progress in their title-winning team this year. He might only be an injury away from being required.
The All Blacks name their team on Thursday afternoon and travel to Sydney that night.

In January, 1963 a waterproof automatic Nastrix 14 karat yellow gold wristwatch with the inscription "To President John F. Kennedy from the Evangelines 1963 " was given to JFK, the celebrated 35th President of the U.S, by David and Evangeline Bruce, a well-known and influential couple in Washington society at the time. They were great supporters of JFK and had been instrumental in his election. Mr. Bruce was later appointed US Ambassador to Great Britain by JFK. The watch was often used by President Kennedy throughout 1963, being worn even during the twice-daily swims he took in the White House pool to relieve his back pain. Following JFK's assassination, on Nov 23, 1963, the watch was retrieved from the top middle desk drawer of the famous Resolute desk in the Oval Office by Evelyn Lincoln. Lincoln, JFK's secretary, had been requested to clear out all of JFK's personal effects by Lyndon B. Johnson. Ms. Lincoln gave the watch to Kennedy's widow Jackie.
Several years later, after marrying billionaire shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, Jackie had the watch inscribed with the letters "FALJ" (For Ari Love Jackie) between the lugs and gave it to him on October 20, 1971 as an anniversary gift. Subsequent to his death in 1975, Jackie then gave the watch to Evelyn Lincoln, who had remained devoted to JFK throughout her life. Ms. Lincoln kept the watch until 1991 when she gave it to her friend Robert White, an avid collector of JFK memorabilia.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) John F. Kennedy, known as JFK, served as President of the United States from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He represented Massachusetts in the US House of Representatives from 1947 -1953 and in the US Senate from 1953 -1960. In 1960, he defeated Republican Candidate Richard Nixon in the US presidential election. He was the youngest President ever elected to office and the only Roman Catholic President to date. Noteworthy events during his Presidency include the Bay of Pigs incident, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Space Race, the Civil Rights Movement and the beginning of the Vietnam War. He married Jacqueline Bouvier on September 12, 1953. They had two children: (in addition to a stillborn child and a son who lived only two days) Caroline, who was born in 1957 and John F. Kennedy Jr., born in 1960 and who died in an airplane crash in 1999. JFK was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald on November 22, 1963 in Dallas, Texas.
Aristotle Onassis (1906-1975) Aristotle Onassis, born in Smyrna, Turkey on January 15, 1906, is known as the most prominent shipping tycoon of the twentieth century. Before he became successful in shipping, he earned a fortune in tobacco in South America. In addition, he also founded Olympic Airways which he later gave to the Greek government. His first marriage was to Athina Livanos with whom he had two children, Alexander who died in 1973 and from whose death Onassis never recovered, and Christina, who died in 1988. Mr. Onassis was also linked for years with the famous Greek opera singer Maria Callas, before marrying Jackie Kennedy, the widow of President John F. Kennedy, on October 20, 1968. He died on March 15, 1975 in Neuilly-sur-Seine, of bronchial pneumonia.

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site. Urgently need someone to code my new site. All pages are 100% designed in PowerPoint. Needs a little Flash work then coding. My Budget is 1,000 USD . But unfortunately i need it in about 24 hours, sorry. Launching new marketing campaign on Monday. Will email the PPT to those interested in the job. Regards.
You may be honest and mean well, but generally such work proposals are treated very suspiciously.
Promising good pay + "i need it yesterday" just scream 'scam'. Plus, you're a very new member and you haven't bought any items from here either.
Only someone desperate would agree to work with you on your terms at this point, especially since this is not a job board technically.
If your business is important to you and you have a campaign to launch on Monday, why have you postponed finding someone right for the job for so long?
It's Saturday already…even some 'little Flash coding' for a whole site takes more than 2 days to get right and properly test.
Thanks for the honest advise octofine.
Since i'm new here and actually a 3d Max user & Media company owner, i inquired from Flashden support the best way to go about this request, and this is what they suggested.
It is not a scam, i'm willing to transfer 50% upfront immediately.
To explain, i currently have a site, but redesigned it 2 days ago, since i want to forward our url to a few very large clients i met at an international exhibition this week. (I realized my site isn't as impressive it should be)
I know all about crazy deadlines & all night work, but thought there might be a freelancer here that wouldn't mind pulling an all-nighter for a thousand dollars.
I am super impressed with this site & community, and look forward to supporting it.

Corporate Fraud a risk to SA Directors
South African directors, sitting on multiple boards, risk huge exposure to corporate fraud, making governance tools and aids a necessity in their daily business practice.
Recent research from Inoxico, an online credit bureau specialising in risk management solutions, shows that each director of the 20 largest companies in South Africa holds on average 14 other external directorships.
The ability of these directors to make unbiased decisions in the best interest of the organisation they work for can be reduced when looking after multiple interests.
"The biggest concern our clients express on discovering that their directors are involved in several other businesses is the ability to prove transparent decision making, a key requirement in the New Companies Act, as well King III," says André Stürmer, CEO of Inoxico.
"With fiduciary duties and governance requirements becoming increasingly onerous, our clients are applying governance tools not only to protect the best interest of the business, but also to protect their directors".
Inoxico has introduced Association Matrix, a business intelligence application that allows companies to track and audit both company and individual associated relationships within their organisational ecosystem.
Companies face requirements within the New Companies Act for governance related to employees and directors involved with or associated to companies and entities within its supply chain.
While the relationships are not always indicative of fraudulent or non-compliant activity, the organization must take action where appropriate, and apply a measure of governance to ensure that areas of association are represented and that sound audit processes are in place.
Association Matrix provides both the platform to build and represent the associated structure within the business as well as the commensurate tools to create the investigative and forensic framework for reviewing any peculiar or unfavourable employee and director activity.
"Decisions made at director level can have a major impact on the course of the business, and if the director had a series of other objectives in mind when making the decision, the potential for sub-optimal business decisions increases, e.g. by paying a premium for products or services based on the director's relationship with suppliers he or she may have brought on board," he says.
Even with the huge volumes of information available to companies through traditional background checks, it is easy to miss the associations a director may have outside of the company.
"Information in and of itself does not provide an organisation with knowledge," says Stürmer. "Governance requires knowledge and deep insight to facilitate mandated auditable decision making."
Among Association Matrix's allows companies to:
● Quickly analyse all governance and fraud risks in the supply chain
● View all potentially harmful associations that exist within the company's ecosystem
● Track the authorisation of associations as well as the process of investigation for unauthorised associations
● Quickly analyse new internal and external stakeholders before beginning a relationship with them to ensure continued governance
● Data and association information retained in central data location where the data can be managed and further analysis can take place
● Centricity allows for automation of monitoring and automatic reviewing of risk areas
● Profile the information related to the associations and known supply arrangements, allowing for the creation of risk categories
● Create a sound repository for relationships and data. Avoids information being re- initiated for future use and creates history for the business to improve intelligence.

How much do you pay for gas?
(Columbus) - Ohio gas prices are a few cents higher to start the work week.
The average price for a gallon of regular gas was $3.50 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and WEX Inc. That's 3 cents higher than a week ago, but a penny less than this time last month.
Monday's national average was $3.48, which is 2 cents lower than a week ago, and 15 cents lower a month ago.
Analysts say prices should stay lower during August as long as refinery production remains strong and oil prices don't rise due to unexpected issues.
The lowest average price in the state Monday was $3.43 in the Youngstown area.

The last seven days have been the best seven days for the Affordable Care Act in quite some time -- and maybe ever.
President Obama announced last week that more than eight million people had signed up for insurance via the federal marketplace, a surge of last-minute activity that not even the most optimistic administration allies could have hoped for. And, then there was the news from the Congressional Budget Office that the health-care law will cost $100 billion less than projected over the next decade.
Amid a (rare) victory lap on the law, Obama was asked whether the news of the past week meant Democratic candidates should run on the law this fall rather than away from it. His answer? "I think Democrats should forcefully defend and be proud of the fact....we're helping because of something we did."
So, should Democrats listen? Or is this Obama giving the only answer he can to a question about his signature legislative accomplishment in the first six years of his presidency? (Imagine the uproar if Obama had said anything other than that the law is basically good and Democrats can and should be proud of it?) We put that questions to a number of Democratic strategists -- and to a few GOP consultants -- doing work in the coming midterm elections.
"If you voted for Obamacare, you need to defend it and sell it," said Steve Elmendorf, a longtime Democratic Capitol Hill operative and now a lobbyist in D.C. "Running away won't work and being defensive [is] a bad idea. Sell it and sell it hard."
That sentiment has long been the private position of the White House. The idea that any incumbent Democrat can run from the law, they insist, is pure folly: No matter what he/she says about the law -- or even whether or not they voted for it -- won't matter. Republicans will attack the incumbent as a tool of Obama and a supporter of the ACA. Instead, Elmendorf argued, Democrats should embrace the popular parts of the law -- as a super PAC supporting Alaska Sen. Mark Begich did in this ad.
There is also a belief in Democratic political circles that while Obamacare was once a silver bullet-type issue for Republicans, those days have now passed -- and the GOP doesn't realize it yet.
"I think the ACA is not a winning issue for the Republicans," said Democratic pollster Anna Greenberg. "Not only is opinion about the ACA improving, but a majority of people oppose repeal." Added another prominent Democratic strategist: "We're playing defense not offense on ACA but we can succeed doing so."
Republican operatives, not surprisingly, disagree.
"They HAVE to run on Obamacare," said Glen Bolger, a partner in the Republican polling firm Public Opinion Strategies. But, he added, that is a very bad thing. "The losers (people who have to pay more, often a lot more) will turn out and vote," argued Bolger. "Their votes are going to sting Democrats, because hurting the middle class has a way of kicking you in the butt. The winners from Obamacare – those who did not have health insurance but now do – are not typically midterm voters. "
Here's Bolger's argument made in chart form.
While the overall numbers for the law amount to a tossup -- 48 percent of registered voters support it, 50 percent oppose it -- the passion gap is readily apparent. Almost four in 10 voters who oppose the law do so strongly while less than three in ten support the law equally strongly.
"Some will benefit, many will not and be very angry about what they are now having to deal with," insisted Republican pollster Lunda Divall. "They will vote."
If you buy that the November midterm is shaping up as battle between the party bases -- and midterms traditionally are that -- then Democrats may have no choice but to run toward the health-care law this fall and 1) hope that the Democratic base closes the enthusiasm gap on the issue between now and November and 2) that independents, such as they are, like the "it's a good law with some problems that need to be fixed" argument rather than the "it's all bad" case Republicans are making.

The history of Sonic is essentially a Picaresque tragicomedy – in the best possible sense of the phrase. Unlike Mario, who has sauntered through the past 20 years gathering plaudits at almost every turn, Sonic has stumbled and fallen, and gotten back up, then fallen again.
For every moment of genius (the first two titles, Sonic Rush, Sonic the Hedgehog Pocket Adventure) there is often something of a calamity. The combination of Shadow the Hedgehog, the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog 'reboot' and Sonic Unleashed would have destroyed lesser characters. Sonic remains, bloodied, but unflattened.
And so here comes Sonic Generations, a celebration of the past two decades of Sonic madness. The narrative explanation for this turbo-charged sprint down memory lane is that a mysterious new enemy is warping space and time; new Sonic has somehow gone back in time and met 2D Sonic and the two agree to join forces to defeat their new foe – hopefully without creating any apocalyptic space-time paradoxes; or Shadow the Hedgehog 2.
Cleverly, the game revisits favourite stages and environments from hedgehog history and presents each to us in classic 2D and modern 3D forms. In the old skool levels, Sonic is restricted to his spin and dash moves and a side-scrolling landscape, while contemporary Sonic boasts a dizzying, swooping polygonal environment, together with homing attacks and other refinements that have been added through the years.
"The 2D and 3D play styles are totally different," confirms the game's director, Hiroshi Miyamoto. "The constant challenge was, how do we balance between providing something new and yet provide something that people recognise? For example, with Green Hill Zone, we wanted a fresh experience but we wanted people to recognise it and relate to it. Internally, we have rules about Sonic games. For example, if a title includes Chaos Emeralds, there must always be seven. However, when we transferred Green Hill Zone from 2D to 3D, there were no rules because it's never been done before. We really had to find the rules ourselves."
At the heart of this dichotomy, though, is Sonic Adventure, the first title of the modern era, and the one where Sonic Team really started experimenting with the character and his world.
"That game was a personal highlight for me," recalls producer Takashi Iizuka, "but it was also one of my biggest challenges. It was the first time that Sonic evolved from a 2D side-scrolling platformer to a 3D action adventure. There were so many challenges we had to face. We didn't know what Sonic would be in a 3D environment – we had to go through a lot of trial and error to make it work. The hardware gave us a lot of new opportunities. It was a huge turning point."
The consistent element is speed – eye-scorching, brain-befuddling speed. Astonishingly, it is still a USP in the platforming genre, and it's the reason Sonic perseveres. "On his debut, Sonic was a totally unique and new character," Iizuka. "I think people still remember how groundbreaking he was when he first arrived. And over the last 20 years, we've really kept in line with his essence, while at the same time developing innovative and interesting titles. I think that's how we've kept him fresh for so long."
Sega showed two new levels at the Tokyo Game Show earlier this month: Emerald Coast for the 3DS version of the title, an oceanic romp based on Sonic Adventure; and Seaside Hill, a PS3 and Xbox level, drawn from Sonic Heroes. The handheld and console versions of the game will be based around the same concept, but will have different levels and bosses.
How did Sonic Team decide on which stages to revisit? "We carried out research to see what people's favourites were," says Miyamoto. "We polled our studios in Japan, US and Europe. We also issued a questionnaire for fans from the public so we could get feedback from them.
"Because we have limited time and space for these stages, there are obviously some that we couldn't include, so a few fans may find their favourite stages aren't in the new home console version. But then, there's a good chance it could be in the 3DS version..."
This handheld stereoscopic incarnation is a slick, 2D dash, with some lovely parallax effects. Emerald Coast sees a teeny Sonic blasting along wooden pathways and through loops, ending his run with a mad dash along a collapsing pier pursued by a killer whale.
It's classic Sonic, with the sun glinting on the screen and the blue ocean rippling beneath, as you pick your way through multiple levels of walkways, spring pads and robot enemies. After two acts, the action ends with a typical special bonus stage in which Sonic runs down a translucent tube, picking up gems, avoiding bombs and attempting to track down a chaos emerald.
The Seaside Hill level for PS3 features a classic 2D act and then a 3D act. Both sport lush seaside expanses, riddled with islands, multi-level runways and splashing dolphins. Sonic Team has succeeded in producing a very different feel for both sections: the 2D bits are all about horizontal speed and watching out for hazards.
But the 3D act takes in a range of runways and mountains that cross over each other, allowing you to spot alternate routes as you zoom through. There are moments you can quickly select between three routes, which will all offer different challenges. In one section I find myself dropping into a car, which lets me super drift along a rolling road bridge and off onto a rail grinding section.
It sounds like all the worst excesses from Sonic Heroes, but I really enjoyed the feel of it. The environments are beautifully drawn, extending off into a lovely sea vista, and it's fast, but also filled with visual cues about the best routes – though some are going to take time and commitment to find.
"Sonic's been around for 20 years, he has a large fanbase who have been following him since the beginning," explains Miyamoto. "They're a really core fanbase, so we need to make sure that the new game appeals to them too. We need to make sure that it has depth.
"To this end, we've put in a lot of alternative routes throughout each level so you don't have to tackle the level in exactly the same way every time. Some of the routes are also hard to find and hard to navigate, which allows us to stay in line with the underlying principle of Sonic – it's easy to play but it's hard to master."
The accessibility remains a key focus. Sonic has survived for 20 years, not by simply retaining its ageing old skool fanbase, but by continually picking up new players en route. Titles such as Sonic and the Secret Rings, which fans have disliked, have often done okay because they've re-invented Sonic for a new platform generation. Somehow, the innate likeability of the character remains.
"The main challenge is to have the sense of fun instantly," says Miyamoto. "We need to make sure people are having fun as soon as possible – even if they're just watching the game. For example, when I saw Sonic as a kid for the first time, I was watching it as my friend's house. The sense of fun comes across for the spectators as well as the player."
It's interesting, too, how familiar elements like the Sonic Adventure killer whale appear in both 2D and 3D zones, but in entirely different contexts. "I'm a Sonic fan and I feel we have included the essence of what was great from all the previous Sonic titles," says Miyamoto. "What we didn't want to do was just rehash the old games. We wanted to create an entirely new experience, which at the same time, tapped into classic Sonic. This game is constantly about new versus old."
And part of the new is embracing steroscopic 3D on Xbox 360 and PS3. I've yet to try the game in this mode, but I imagine it'll be a dizzying experience on the "modern" stages.
Intirguingly – and against the instincts of most hardcore fans – Miyamoto sees this as a natural move for Sonic: "In the megadrive era, when Sonic debuted, even though it was a 2D game the team really tried hard to provide a 3D experience. I feel that Sonic always wanted to jump out of the screen, he always had that desire!"
Sonic Generations possibly isn't going to win the the veteran series an enormous army of new fans (or win over every single lapsed fanatic), but it looks to be one of the most solidly constructed and enjoyable instalments, building on the good work of Sonic Colors and Sonic 4 and skilfully re-working some of our favourite motifs and moments. It will certainly give committed old-timers and their progeny something to share and discover together. And it is the first Sonic I've actively, confidently looked forward to for a number of years.
If this is a line drawn under the past, if this is a bright new dawn for our hero, what does the future hold for Sonic Team's icon? I jokingly ask if we're going to see Sonic survival horror, or a Sonic music game. "We do want to provide Sonic to people who don't necessarily enjoy action games," says Iizuka, with a wry smile. "You'll have to wait to see what we have in store for the future!"
• Sonic Generations is released on Xbox 360 and PS3 on 4 November, and on Nintendo 3DS on 30 November.

The U.S. Army Regimental System was established in 1981 to "enhance combat effectiveness through a framework that provides the opportunity for affiliation, develops loyalty and commitment, fosters an extended sense of belonging, improves unit esprit, and institutionalizes the war fighting ethos."
The U.S. Army Medical Department Regiment was activated on July 28, 1986, during ceremonies at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, and has since affiliated all AMEDD Soldiers with the AMEDD Regiment, a regiment whose tradition of caring is distinguished by more than 230 years of proud and faithful service to Soldiers, the United States Army, and the United States of America. All initial entry training Military Occupational Specialty producing courses and the Officer Basic Course formally affiliate Soldiers during their rites of passage or graduation ceremonies. Governed by AR 600-82, the Regimental system allows civilians to elect affiliation providing the Regimental Commander opens affiliation to them.
The Surgeon General approved affiliation of AMEDD civilians in February 2011 to include eligibility for recognition as Distinguished Members of the Regiment (DMOR), and Honorary Members of the Regiment (HMOR) for their spouses. While AMEDD civilians are automatically part of the AMEDD Civilian Corps, employees may elect to affiliate with the Regiment. This affiliation is strictly ceremonial and will not affect assignments. As AMEDD Civilians continue to take on positions of increased responsibility and greater leadership roles, affiliation with the AMEDD Regiment supports the AMEDD Civilian Corps vision and mission, and helps to strengthen the culture of trust to build a more cohesive, integrated Army Medicine Team.
In an effort to help perpetuate the history and traditions of the Army Medical Department Regiment and enhance unit morale and esprit, Lt. Gen. Patricia D. Horoho, MEDCOM commanding general and The Surgeon General, further recognized and supported the AMEDD Regimental Program for Civilian employees in Army Medicine, culminating with AMEDD Civilian Regimental Affiliation Day on 26 March 2013.
Commanders determine the number of AMEDD civilians in their organizations who wish to affiliate with the AMEDD Regiment and send a memorandum via email to the AMEDD Regiment at email@example.com to request affiliation certificates for their Civilians. The memorandum should include the number of civilians who elect affiliation, the point of contact, the mailing address where the certificates should be mailed, and an attachment with the names of the employees to be affiliated.
Charles G.(Gregg) Stevens, AMEDD Civilian Corps chief, said, "We strongly encourage our Civilians to become members of the AMEDD Regiment. Membership in the Regiment alongside our AMEDD Soldiers will improve camaraderie and be another sign of the strength of our Army Medicine Team that results from the diverse capabilities the different members can bring to the mission."
For more information, you can contact the AMEDD Regiment at the email address above or by phone at 210-221-8455, DSN 471.

Gallery Arleth lies opposite, offering jewels, sculptures and paintings. Corselitze Manor dates from 1776. The Park is open to visitors, here you can rest on a wooden bench carved as a crocodile. There is also an ice house built in 1779 by Swedish workers, where the master and mistress kept ice "harvested" in winter. By the water is a small beautiful building with a thatched roof, The General's Summerhouse, from where Hans Christian Andersen used to go swimming.
Marielyst "The Best Beach in Denmark" is a true gem by the Baltic Sea with a child-friendly bathing beach cover-ing 20 kilometres of soft, white sand. Here you'll find holiday cottages, good camping sites and hotels. Music events, all-year shopping, fine restaurants, wellness opportunities, and lots of active adventures, including miniature golf, Seg-ways, paintball, go-cart, bike rides, bouncers and football golf. Marielyst offers attractions for the whole family.

Along Bøtø Forest there is a path on top of the dike, but the cycling route goes through the Bøtø Forest to Gedesby town. From Gedesby you cycle towards Birkemose along the post path to Gedser lighthouse and along the Baltic Sea to Gedser.
Gedser. The southernmost town in Denmark with a view of the Baltic Sea and a car ferry to Rostock, Germany. Visit the southernmost point of Scandinavia. From The South Stone at Gedser Point you can see all the way to Rostock on a clear day. Visit The Black Museum, Gedser Engine Shed, the lighthouse, the water tower, and enjoy a pleasant view of the Nysted Wind Farm, with 72 windmills, each 110 m high. The Old Grocery Station (tourist information) offers local handicraft products.
Gedesby. Small town with an ancient Dutch mill from 1911 and a small church whose baptismal font shows a mark of the water level during the flood in 1872. From here, continue towards Nykøbing by the Gedser Highway. We recommend a detour to Skelby and Bruserup Beaches, a small fishing village with toilet and camping.
By Marrebæk Channel, Bøtø Nor Old Pumping Station is worth a visit. Close to Væggerløse Hill, there is a glasshouse and the Stouby Mill. From Væggerløse Hill ride towards Hasselø Plantation, located next to the Guldborg Sound, with a beautiful view of the islands Flatø, Kalvø and Kejlsø, and continue back to Nykøbing Falster.

BEER OF THE DAY: Founders Brewing, Imperial Stout, Grand Rapids, MI
If you've had any experience with craft beer you know ask about Founders' reputation. While their Breakfast Stout and Kentucky Breakfast Stout grab all the headlines, this stout also garners high marks.
Look- looks and pours like motor oil. Thick, dark, and viscous.
Smell- chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate in the nose.
Taste- the heat from the booze is the first thing I taste sadly. However, the bitterness of the dark chocolate does come out and it's tasty. It's also got a hop kick which is unusual for a stout. Not sure how I feel about that just yet.
Mouth- full bodied. Bitter as I mentioned. Sweet and dry.
Overall- it's a top notch stout for sure. And I definitely enjoy a chocolate stout over a coffee one. However, I found this to be a bit underwhelming considering the brewery. Less hop and more chocolate would have been appreciated but probably would have made this too much like the Breakfast Stout.
About Founder's Imperial Stout:
A fine companion to end a meal or relax in front of the hearth with, this robust ale will cellar well for years. Brewed with ten varieties of malted barley this stout is extremely smooth, complex and rich in body. We recommend serving at cellar temperature. Sit back and enjoy its richness and complexity, you're about to drink the ultimate winter warmer.

We're in the process of negotiating with the big packaging delivery boys and girls. We're trying to see who we will work with to deliver our Shapeways orders. Until we select the right partner we've had to come up with a temporary solution to deliver our packages for a while. That temporary solution will probably not get us any supply chain management awards any time soon.
Today Ralph and myself went to the postoffice with a carload of packages. The closest post office is a booth like thing inside a book store. When Ralph told the very nice woman behind the counter that we were going to return with even more packages her eyes bulged. Luckily for us we had a brainwave and used a shopping cart from the nearby supermarket to shuttle the packages from the car to the book store.
A line quickly formed behind us but for some incredible reason it was filled by the most patient people on earth. Only a queue of buddhist monks might have shown more restraint and peace while waiting. An eldery man found himself a chair while he waited and I tried to look as friendly as possible. As the line started to snake through the bookstore Ralph volunteered to help the nice lady with stickering the packages. Ralph took well to the stickering and was even offered a job with the post office which he politely refused. I've added some pictures of Ralph made with my cameraphone below. The pictures suck, my apologies.

Subject: [FreeHelp] Screen Resolution and Page Layout - Part 2
Date: Thu, 14 Aug 2008 23:22:04 +1200
Advantages and Disadvantages of Fixed or Liquid layouts:-
(a) Fixed width - Your page layout stays together in all screen resolutions,
but as the screen or window resolution falls below that in which the page
was designed, the horizontal scrollbar comes into play and the text/image
size increases proportionately. When the screen /window resolution
the page content looks smaller and becomes more difficult to view at a
distance from the monitor. NB.. Pages using 'absolute positioning' also
fall into this category.
(b) Liquid layout - Your page layout will adjust to the screen/window width
and number of lines of text will increase for decreasing screen/window
widths and likewise decrease for increasing screen/window widths. The pixel
dimensions of objects such as images remains the same and they will become
vertically displaced with decreasing screen/window width, or horizontally
displaced with increasing screen/window widths. Simply put, the page layout
As you will note, there are compromises to be made or accepted when using
either method.
Clientside JavaScript can be used to ensure that your page looks essentially
the same - whether viewed in a 640px or a 2000px width screen. In other
words it can downsize or upsize all dimmensions by reference to the design
width and the actual screen/window width in which the page is being
But like everything, it also has its limitations - JavaScript 'OFF' and the
page reverts to fixed width at its design resolution!
A sample screen shot page is at:-
with links to the demonstration page and another screen shot at 1600px
With one proviso; its not for beginners, though there is no harm in being
aware of the "third method", but is aimed at for those already versed in
using CSS and other aspects of page layout.
