James Franco steals a super-smart baby chimp from his lab! He takes the chimp out to a state park for the first time and the chimp holds his hand out and looks down. James Franco takes this to mean the chimp is taking a submissive pose and asking for permission to climb the trees, but actually it is customary to tip your monkey when you bring him to the woods for the first time.
There's a scene in Rise of the Planet of the Apes where James Franco takes his baby chimp into a steamy shower to make him feel more comfortable. So ladies, you might want to consider disguising yourselves as uncomfortable baby chimps if you want to trick James Franco into taking a steamy shower with you. Then again, I'm not sure how sexy it is to have a lady jump out of a baby chimp suit while you're in the shower together.
At one point in the movie, James Franco is giving a presentation on projected stock earnings when a chimp escapes and smashes through his charts and graphs. Coincidentally, I use an ape jumping through stock market predictions to do all my financial planning for the year.
John Lithgow plays James Franco's father, who is suffering from Alzheimer's. James Franco injects him with a virus he created that makes monkeys smarter. The next thing you know, John Lithgow is playing the piano with the skill of seven Harry Connick Jrs. He also has the strength of seven Harry Connick Jrs., which is the same as the regular old man strength he had before.
James Franco's chimp has to go to monkey jail because he bites off a man's finger. If this is what happens to James Franco's super-intelligent ape, I'd hate to see what his apes of average intelligence go to jail for. Probably secretly filming women's feet at Target and uploading the videos on the internet. Anyway, Franco's chimp becomes king of the apes in monkey jail by giving the other chimps free cookies. This is also how you become king of a high school auditorium full of people who just gave blood.
James Franco's chimp leads the apes in a monkey uprising against the humans. Not only do these monkeys rise up to defeat their oppressors, but they also shine on the field of battle. And it is these monkeyshines that will one day lead to an entire planet of the apes. The ape rebellion breaks in to James Franco's lab and when his boss arrives at the office, he is surrounded by monkeys, inspiring several one-panel Far Side rip-off newspaper cartoons.
The apes have a final showdown on an enormous steel bridge against a battalion of police officers. The apes are able to gain a tactical advantage against the police by climbing to the top of the bridge, which is also an excellent vantage point from which to throw barrels and fireballs down at any local plumbers who might intervene. A gorilla leaps onto a helicopter, causing it to crash. He is later revealed to be a man in a gorilla costume who was late to a fancy costume party and wanted a ride.
James Franco tries to convince his chimp to come back home, but the chimp tells him that his home is with the other apes in the forest. James Franco is like, "Fine, enjoy your filthy monkey house out in the dirty woods. I'll just go home to my beautiful wife and comfortable furniture and indoor plumbing." The movie ends with the human-killing virus that James Franco created spreading around the globe. Also spreading around the globe as a result of Jame Franco's body of work: women in baby chimp costumes. Planet of the Apes!

Stayed at the Reef Residence from March 29th to April 3rd, room 6203. The minute I walked in i felt at home, it was clean, spacious and had all the amenities of home, the room smelled clean.
There was everything a family needed, fridge, microwave, stove, toaster, kettle etc..
The bed was comfy, however the shower is wayy too small for one normal size person.
The hotel was very quiet at nights and the grounds were well kept and quiet too, the pool was clean and very nice. The beach is however, less than one minute walk away from the hotel and such a lovely beach too.
The manager Kern I think his name was, was a very quiet, pleasant and helpful gentleman, he tried really hard to assist me in getting a charger for my camera battery, was unsuccessful but helped nonetheless. I love this hotel for the area and its quietness, there is restaurants walking distance away on the beach side...Somewhere is a nice restaurant to eat at also.
Will definitely patronize this hotel again.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

Wegmans Receives $1 Million Grant for Fuel Cell Technology
Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. received a $1 million grant from the Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority (PEDA) to install hydrogen fuel cell-powered material handling equipment at its Retail Service Center in Pottsville, Pa.
Wegmans Food Markets, Inc. received a $1 million grant from the Pennsylvania Energy Development Authority (PEDA) to install hydrogen fuel cell-powered material handling equipment at its Retail Service Center in Pottsville, Pa.
The grant, which will be used for equipment such as pallet jacks and reach trucks, will offset a portion of the costs associated with the installation of an on-site hydrogen infrastructure, which includes an outdoor hydrogen storage tank and indoor fueling dispensers.
"In terms of sustainability, energy reduction is one of our top priorities," said Mike Cullen, Wegmans VP of distribution planning for the Rochester, N.Y.-based grocer. "This investment in fuel cell technology will help our employees, our business and our community. It also underscores our growth and investment in our Pennsylvania operations."
In addition to its Retail Service Center, Wegmans operates 12 stores in Pennsylvania, with plans for three more in the future. One, a new store in Collegeville, Pa., will open in October of this year.
Wegmans currently powers its material handling equipment with lead-acid batteries. During this three-phase project, the company plans to convert its entire lift truck fleet at the Pottsville facility to hydrogen fuel cells, allowing for increased productivity, lower operating costs and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The first phase will include the hydrogen infrastructure installation, as well as the equipment conversion in the produce facility. This phase is expected to be operational in November 2009.
Hydrogen fuel cells produce energy through an electrochemical reaction. Because hydrogen is the fuel source, heat and water are the only byproducts. By converting the lift equipment in just the produce area of its facility to hydrogen fuel cells, Wegmans estimates that carbon emissions will be reduced by an amount equivalent to removing 134 cars from the road each year.
During this first phase of the project, Wegmans will purchase 50 Crown pallet trucks and nine Crown standup forklifts from Lift, Inc. of Lancaster Pa. Lift will also supply Wegmans with Plug Power's GenDrive fuel cell solution to power its fleet.
According to Lift, another positive outcome of the conversion is that Wegmans employees will notice an improvement in equipment performance. The batteries that currently power the equipment start out with a full charge, but over the course of a work shift, the charge dissipates and the equipment slows down until the battery dies completely. Fuel-cell powered equipment, on the other hand, will perform at peak until it's time to refuel, a process that takes less than one minute.
"How change affects our employees is an important consideration in every decision we make," said David DeMascole, Wegmans Retail Service Center GM. "Enabling employees to refuel quickly as needed gives them more control of their time and will improve their work environment."
Throughout 2011 and 2012, Wegmans plans to expand its use of hydrogen fuel cell technology at the Pottsville facility. When the project is complete, up to 150 units of equipment will be powered by hydrogen fuel cells.
Wegmans operates 73 stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, and Maryland.

Allison's Magic Massage
Having visited clients in hotels and ski resorts for seven years before establishing her own practice, licensed massage therapist Allison and her other therapists has amassed a repertoire of luxurious add-ons to her services. Her wintertime patrons rest atop heated tables, for example, and she swaddles limbs in warm towels upon request. Guests can even choose how they would like their aromatherapy oils to be distributed: directly on the skin, diffused through the air, or delicately combed into their mustache.
Allison still makes house and hotel calls to complement her in-spa treatments, which cover a range of specialty massage techniques. Her signature modality mixes Swedish, Russian, and trigger-point therapy for a medley of surface- and deep-tissue work, whereas a pure relaxation massage relies on Swedish kneads to lull muscles into slack serenity. She and her apprentices have also mastered the use of hot stones, salt scrubs, and paraffin wraps to enhance their appointments. Whether her customers are hoping for pinpointed, intense strokes or a romantic couples massage, they can anticipate calming music and intuitive touch from the team.

Funding for Domestic Wastewater Projects
DEP helps to fund domestic wastewater projects through the State Revolving Loan Fund, the State Financially Disadvantaged Small Community Grant, and the State Bond Loan programs.
The State Revolving Loan Fund is administered by the Department of Environmental Protection through the State Revolving Fund Program. It makes low-interest loans available for construction, rehabilitation, and replacement of facilities needed to collect, treat, dispose of, or reuse municipal wastewater. It is a revolving fund because loan repayments are used to make additional loans. Over the past 10 years, domestic wastewater treatment facilities received over 0.9 billion dollars through the state revolving loan fund. Many domestic wastewater projects throughout the state received a significant portion of these monies.
The State Financially Disadvantaged Small Community Grant program is administered by the DEP through the State Revolving Fund Program. It makes available 65 to 85 percent grants for wastewater improvements to communities of 7,500 population or less in which the per capita income is below the state average per capita income. First grants were offered around July 2000.
The State Bond Loan program is jointly administered by the DEP and the Division of Bond Finance of the State Board of Administration. Cities, counties, districts, authorities, and other local agencies are eligible for receipt of this loan. This fund can be used for the construction of domestic wastewater facilities.

Birds in the Spring LWP - Spring comes and migratory birds are returning home. They will have a hard job: build a nest,
hatch, and of course sing songs.
Previously, all returned to their homeland wagtail. Only begin to drift ice floes on the rivers as
these little birds with a yellow head become captains. They run on the ice floes, as if on the
ground and it is very fun.
Following wagtail fly small and colorful finches. Small birds with very bright plumage set up
their nests in tree planting on roadsides. If you are lucky to find a blue feather finch is considered
as in the old days, it will become the finder and talismans in marital bliss.
Strolling around the city park can be heard unusually beautiful trills Redstart. -Voiced bird with
a bright orange color loves settle and build a nest close to humans.
In the spring, when the day is getting longer and the sun begins to warm, you can not sit at home
watching TV. In the forests and parks bird had flown equip their homes, lay eggs and even
fighting for territory. Kids will be very interesting to watch the colorful birds, listen to their
songs, as well as learn new things. Do not be surprised if the questions the children will have
more questions than answers in the parents, it's interesting and fun to watch the birdlife.
Love birds, but you can not get out often to nature? It does not matter, because you can
download and install on your phone or tablet of our live wallpapers "Birds in the spring" and
enjoy the colorful images without leaving home.

Even though Hogwarts is located in Scotland, the world of Valesco has created characters from many parts of the world.
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded over a thousand years ago by Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin. They desired a place to properly teach young wizards and witches magic, and combined their great knowledge into the school.
Hogsmeade is the only entirely wizarding village in Britain. It's a picturesque village of little thatched cottages and shops. During the holiday season, enchanted candles hang in the trees. Hogwarts is located quite near the village; a road runs around the school grounds to Hogsmeade Station, where the Hogwarts Express stops to disembark the students at the start of term. According to tradition, Hogsmeade was founded about the same time as Hogwarts by Hengist of Woodcroft, who was fleeing persecution by Muggles (CS/g). (source The Harry Potter Lexicon)

It has a vast selection of vodkas, including home-made flavoured vodkas, all served in a shot glass resting in a bowl of ice. Their Russian kitchen specialises in beef stroganoff, borscht, salads, smoked salmon, blinis and soups. They have a dance floor and are often cited by the MLE for playing their music way too loud.

*Magical Instruments
The largest provider of scales, potion vials, storage units and other instruments of a magical nature. Run by a part-genie, so it's best not to make any sort of deals with him that don't involve straight instrument/coin transaction.
*The Mane Place
A hair salon and barber shop, cursed with a horrible location site. They're located just off the main strip in Knockturn Alley, but still visible to the passerby. They service mainly males, but if a witch were in dire need of an emergency cut or dye job, The Mane Place would suit just fine.
*Marks & Spencer
The department store of un-high-fashion. M&S has loads of clothing for wizards and witches of all ages and household wares for any budget. A more modern store, it has a muggle counterpart in London.
Obscurus Books A large, wizard owned but muggle bookstore. It's is entirely on the muggle side of things, but serves as one of the largest publishers of books in the Wizarding world.

*Racks to Riches
Diagon Alley's secondhand clothing shop, though the owner prefers to call it 'vintage'. In addition to buying you can sell your gently used hand-me-downs for a bit of pocket money.
*Rainbow Music and Books
A muggle record shop on the other side of The Leaky Cauldron. Quiet and unassuming, carries a wide range or records, mostly used and is known for hiring teenagers that like playing music very loud to draw customers in (or scare them away?).
- Employees of the Slug & Jiggers Apothecary
*The Starky Planetarium of Lower London for Wizards and Witches
Better known as S.P.L.L.W.W (or Spleewwwww to some of it's employees), the Starky Planetarium is located at the far end of Diagon Alley, nearest to the apparation centre and Foyle's Junk Shop. It's an amazing piece of the universe, right in Lower London! It's exhibits are out of this world and they offer a lecture series, as well as star shows for all to enjoy.

stationery store
street peddlers
Diagon Alley's premier footwear store. They have wall to wall racks of shoes, carrying the latest styles and trends as well as some of the more old fashioned stuff. For every sized pocket book and frequently has sales (about once every couple of months).
Originally built to be a bookstore, the owners converted it into a lending library early last century. You can come and check books out, if you have a library card, though they're easy to get. Waterstone's carries a wide variety of research materials as well as for pleasure reading. Not as extensive as the library at Hogwarts, but perfect for the casual reader or the occasional researcher.

Godric's Hollow
Though a Muggle village, Godric's Hollow has a storied wizarding history. For over a thousand years it has been home to notable wizards and witches, and has been most famous as the birthplace of Hogwarts founder Godric Gryffindor. More recently, however, it has become renowned instead as the site of Voldemort's first downfall. Voldemort came to the village in 1981, in the midst of an open war on the wizarding world, intending to kill one-year-old Harry Potter after overhearing a prophecy predicting Harry's power. Instead his Killing Curse rebounded, blowing apart the house and destroying him. Today there are memorials to this event throughout the village, which Harry and Hermione discover when they visit on Christmas Eve, 1997 (DH16, DH17). (source The Harry Potter Lexicon)

The department of Charente-Maritime is located the Poitou-Charentes region of France. This department is surrounded by the Gironde, Charente, Deux-Sevres, Vendee and Dordogne departments. It also includes four islands: ile de Re, ile-d'Aix, ile d'Oleron and ile Madame. A delightful landscape of plains and plateaus where the limestone is used as the building material for traditional houses. Sandy beaches, countryside, hills and plains dominate the scenery with the Atlantic coast being second sunniest part of France, after the French Riviera.
Vitrezay, Maison du Fier, Marais aux Oiseaux, Cabane de Moins and Ferme des Oiseaux are just some lovely villages and towns worth a visit.
And of course there are the famous Poitou donkeys who have a particular appearance: white nose, shaggy coat, dark brown or black, tall and big ears (the Donkey not our founding director!). Poitou donkeys can often be seen roaming in the meadows, they are also a tourist attraction on ile de Re, where it is easy to pet them and even to ride them.
Being a rural department house prices in the Charente-Maritime are below the national average and if you are looking in the countryside or rural village location you are going to get the best value for your money.

Grayers: A New Classic
Here at Article, we love that Grayers is taking traditional workwear and bringing it back to life. In 1950's Britain, men dropped their three-piece suits in favor of grey flannel trousers. The resulting name, grayers, described more than just the pants. It defines a cultural shift into casual menswear that is still strong today.
With more than a decade of experience working together at Ralph Lauren, Peter Georgiou and Kenny Thomas have teamed up to rewrite the classics in a new way. Seeing a gap in the men's market for a classic collection made for the guy that has a value on style but may or may not be a style monger, Grayers represents impressive quality, great fit and design integrity - all at an attainable price.
This season was inspired by a pre-war stamp collection from the 1930's to 1950's. Many of the colors evoked in the stamps are seen in this season's staples comprising of earth tone colors with a vintage feel and texture. Grayers fall collection offers a refined outdoorsy attitude with a twist on colors. Details such as contrasting cuffs and yarn, embossed buttons, and jacket lining really make these garments pop.

The Bonnie Bird New Choreography Award is a biennial award of £10,000. This award is open to choreographers and artists working choreographically, based in the UK, who have been working professionally for more than five years (excluding study). Please note, however, that current MA and PhD students are not eligible to apply. The award period will be negotiated with the applicant but will generally last between 1-2 years.
The new Choreography award aims to engage with one choreographer to support a programme of individual research that can effect a step change, developing their future work/practice to the highest quality, with the potential to impact both nationally and internationally.
The award also has been created to support a project that asks questions about choreography and addresses what it might currently mean to work with the body, dance, movement and choreography.
Each time the award is given the programme is created on a bespoke basis with the selected choreographer, but it may include:
The Creative Producer is currently Chris Fogg. His support includes the negotiation of a bespoke Development Plan for the period of the award, with agreed milestones, targets and a work plan. Chris also offers dramaturgical support in the studio, brokerage of potential partnerships, as well as the support listed in the bullet points above. His support does not include administration or artist management, which remain the responsibility of the Awardee. Chris provides the equivalent of 10 days during the year.
Whilst there is no commitment for the awardee to present a finished piece of performance at this End-of-Award Sharing – the focus of the award is on supporting choreographic research in the form that is most useful to the selected artist and his/her project and/or practice – there is an expectation that the period of the award will result in a significant contribution to the awardee's development as a choreographer, influencing their subsequent practice, and that evidence of this should be reflected in this "sharing", with a clear sense – worked out with the support of the Creative Producer – of where the work is headed, and what the next steps will be. The requirement to present this "sharing" to an audience, therefore, with the opportunity for further feedback and discussion, will represent a key milestone in the awardee's choreographic journey.
This award is biennial and in December 2015 Nicola Conibere was announced as the recipient for 2015-6. The next call for applications will be in 2017.
A convincing, ambitious and clearly articulated research idea that 'leaps off the page' and is able to 'surprise us'. We are particularly interested in projects that re-imagine choreography in the way they address the objectives for the award; artists who work with an expanded notion of choreography; and proposals that demonstrate an experimental or interdisciplinary approach to dance, choreography and performance.
When selecting the Award Winner, members of the BBCF Board take the following criteria into consideration:

So, a lot of people lately have decided that glitching is cool. Well, if you are one of those people, I hate you. Also, if you have a J-Tagged Xbox and are 10th Prestige, you have no fucking life, nor do you have any sense of honor, humility, sportsmanship, or any self confidence or patience.
Back to my original point though, Infinity Ward has basically ruined the experience by taking their sweet time patching this CP Glitch. The only reason it bothers me is that, like boosters, people with little skill or patience are basically tricking the game into rewarding them for nothing. I hav had my killstreaks set at Harrier, ChopGun, Nuke for two months now, and have not set off a nuke. My frustration has increased as of late, because less than 20 minutes ago, I went 3-2-27 on Underpass. One guy was using the glitch with an E-Drop, and he had seven sentries active, got four stealth bombers, 3 harriers, 2 ac 130s, a chopper gunner, 2 pave lows, and four precision airtstrikes in one domination game. It's ruining the experience.
So, if you are a glitcher, congratulations, you're the reason my sister had to go to the hospital yesterday. My little brother was so angry, he threw his controller out the door of my room, hitting her in the head. She has a minor skull fracture and 13 stitches. You guys are assholes. If you want to be good, FUCKING EARN IT.

You are the best one due to your blog. It is very nice blog. Thank you so much for sharing and please share some more informative posts. rubber playground tiles for daycare
Cool - well done!
Charlie ;)
I really like this poem. It looks like it's been written by Jo herself!
w00t!! omg funny
Very good. I love the last line of it. It really ties it all togather. This poem really flows nicely. Good job! I think it would be interesting if you wrote a story about Harry in his seventh year or something and used this song in it. Just to see the first-years reaction. 10/10 HermyRox12
I can see why this won. It feels like someone's telling you a story yet you're surprise that it's a poem and it rhymes.
Just a few suggestions:
Its here! they cried(.), (T)that we shall build
The lake(;), the forest(;), the tower(;), your dorm!
My lord! they cry. We will obey!
Maybe italicise 'My lord" and "We will obey!"
*grin* okay enough with my nit-pickyness. I truly love how you started off with the founding of Hogwarts, then have the second part talk about Voldemort, and the final part talk about unity. Everything flows well. Great job Anna!
Author's Response: Thanks Nutty! I don't usually write poetry, so I was very surprised that it won! Thanks for the suggestions!

The crossbow was Europe's first "Weapon of Mass Destruction", and was so deadly against the mounted knights of the Middle Ages that the Pope actually banned them from use in warfare. Today, the crossbow is either a hunter's weapon or a target-shooter's weapon. If you have cocked the string on a crossbow, do not attempt to dry-fire the weapon, as this could damage it. There are safer ways of uncocking the crossbow that will not risk damage.
Things You'll Need
- Disposable bolt with blunt or field head.
Load the crossbow bolt into the crossbow. Make sure the bolt is either field or blunt tipped, and does not possess a broad head.
Aim the crossbow at a patch of soft earth without rocks.
Pull the trigger to fire the crossbow. The soft earth will minimize the chance of the bolt breaking when it strikes, and firing the weapon will uncock the string.

Hello spicy people.
I am looking for alternatives to ISA 2006 in order to host reverse HTTPS proxy for OWA and a couple other servers that need to be accessed from Internet. Are there any open source firewall distros that can be configured to do that ? I will test open-source products Zentya but would like a second opinion.
Thanks in adavnce

why the need to reverse proxy when a simple NAT on the firewall could do this? Or do you need the proxy to be URL aware and route to the appropriate service as needed.
Both apache and squid could be setup to do this if you do need something slightly intelligent
Feb 7, 2012 at 3:20 UTC
Martin, thank you for the response. I actually need the firewall/proxy to be URL aware and route to appropriate internal server as needed
Feb 7, 2012 at 3:28 UTC
squid or apache then
untangle or endian may do this with their community firewall, otherwise you're looking at something payfor like Astaro or the untangle/endian commercial varients
Feb 7, 2012 at 5:17 UTC
How about Nginx? It is very simple to set up.
But note that you may run into trouble, if the site you are proxying uses NTLM authentication over HTTP. That requires connection keepalive, and I know of no free proxy that supports that.
Feb 7, 2012 at 5:33 UTC
Remember that a open source firewall is considerably more flexible than a commercially bought one. This is because you have a full blown Linux or bsd system.
Why not build tour own? Iptables, squid (or Apache), and openvpn is all you need to build a very flexible and powerful firewall.
Feb 10, 2012 at 4:15 UTC
Take a look at Pound - http://www.apsis.ch/pound/.
I have successfully used this to reverse proxy OWA using HTTPS.
This was using the Linux based firewall - devil-linux (http://www.devil-linux.org)

I have oily, dry & sensitive skin. My doctor prescribed me tretinoin 0.025 cream; will it permanently harm my skin?
Doctor Answers 1
Tretinoin therapy
Thank you for your question. Tretinoin is an effective therapy in treating acne, but it does have some side effects. Side effects include dryness, irritation, redness, peeling, etc. In my experience, starting tretinoin every other night or every two nights minimizes side effects, and if no irritation/redness, then tretinoin may be used nightly. However, I always recommend my patients to monitor and listen to their skin and stop therapy if they experience any problems. In my opinion, if you experience any side effects, least likely to have permanent issues. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist regarding your questions and concerns. Take care and good luck.

Mr. COATS. Mr. President, this past Friday marked the 2-year anniversary of when the president's health care law, the affordable care act, otherwise known as ObamaCare, was signed in to law. I wasn't in the Senate at the time; I was actually in the State of Indiana campaigning to be in the Senate as a representative of that State. As such, I had spent a considerable amount of time crisscrossing the State and talking to Hoosiers about the health care plan. From diners and restaurants all across Indiana to small businesses, large businesses, medium-size businesses, big industrial giants, small mom-and-pop operations, medical providers, and ordinary citizens, we in Indiana join the nearly two-thirds--or perhaps even more than two-thirds--of the country that oppose this law.
Hoosiers didn't then, and they don't now, want to have a one-size-fits-all nationalized health care system. They want a healthier health care system. They want reforms to the current problems and excessive rising costs of health care. This is the first of many attempts I will make to discuss why we need to address this law, which is moving toward ever and ever greater implementation and particularly kicks in over the next two years. Hoosiers, as I said, did not want the plan then and they don't want it now. They don't want to have Federal bureaucrats making their health care decisions for them. They want less government intervention and higher quality of care, and they don't want a health care system that increases costs and premiums while hurting job creators with fines and penalties. They want affordable care and good job opportunities.
Two years after passage of that act, I continue to hear these messages from the people of Indiana and from others as we discover more and more information about what is contained in this massive 2,700-page bill that was passed in early 2010. I wish to discuss a few of the impacts of the ObamaCare law today. The first is the individual mandate, and of course that is one of the issues the Supreme Court is hearing right now and will be making a determination on.
ObamaCare is the biggest example of government intrusion in the everyday lives of Americans, whether by forcing individuals to buy health insurance, enacting onerous regulations on small businesses, or by raising taxes and imposing penalties. The health care law forces every American to purchase a health insurance plan or, if they choose not to do so, to pay the government a fine. This is unprecedented in American history. It is the first time the Federal Government is forcing citizens to purchase a product or a service they may or may not want or pay a fine for their decision to say no.
This administration basically is saying to Americans: We know what is better for you than you know for yourself. We know what is better for you than what your doctor suggests is needed, and if you don't get a government-approved health care plan, we are going to assess you a fine.
That is a basic, fundamental principle of constitutional law and the Supreme Court will be making that determination. But I suggest that this Congress needs to continue to debate this and be prepared to act depending on what the Supreme Court decision is, which will come down several months from now.
The second thing I wish to talk about briefly is the higher costs that emanate from this particular piece of legislation. In addition to mandating that all Americans have health insurance, ObamaCare hits individuals and families with increased costs at higher premiums. The Nation's nonpartisan budget experts at the Congressional Budget Office estimate that when fully implemented, this law will increase insurance premiums on a family policy by an average of $2,100 a year. Therefore, the affordable care act is hardly affordable and increases the already high premiums people have to pay for insurance.
The President's own Chief Actuary at the Center for Medicare Services reported that the law will increase national health care costs by $311 billion in the first 10 years alone--increase is the key word here. The goal of reforming the Nation's health care system initially was to reduce the skyrocketing costs for Americans, not increase them. Yet, we are now being told by the experts and the President's own people that Obamacare will increase costs.
I also wish to speak about the impact of this law on businesses. I talked to dozens if not hundreds of businesses across the State of Indiana, both in the campaign year of 2010 and then last year traveling as a Senator throughout the State. The President's health care prescription results in bad side effects for American businesses by hitting job creators with new taxes and new regulations that they desperately don't need at this point in our struggle to regain economic growth. Take the employer mandate. The law penalizes businesses that do not provide employees with government-approved health care plans. Beginning in 2014, American businesses with more than 50 employees will be fined $2,000 per employee if they do not offer a health insurance plan approved by the Federal Government.
I have talked to a number of business people who have gone through painful negotiations with their workers and with their laborers and with staff. They have put together a health care plan that is accepted by both management and by employees who recognize that if they cannot maintain some semblance of control over costs, the jobs might not be available in the future because the company cannot afford to keep people at work. So in recognition of all of this negotiation that goes on and the contractual obligations that both sides work to achieve, understanding that if the business is hit with too much tax and too many regulations the business may not survive, those plans now come under the scrutiny of the Federal Government, and the Federal Government will determine whether those plans are sufficient and adequate. If it determines they are not, then a fine is levied against the business.
I cannot tell my colleagues how many business people told me: Look, I would rather pay the fine than have the government impose all of these new regulations on us when we are working carefully with each employee to make sure they have their basic insurance needs covered. Yet, if we are forced into a set plan of set procedures for every employee, then I have two choices, the business people say: I can either refuse to do so and pay the penalty of about $2,000 per employee, or I can let people go. The bottom line is, if I can't make my bottom line, I cannot keep these people employed.
The arbitrarily fixed basis that small businesses under 50 employees will not be subject to this leaves manufacturers and business people who are slightly below that level--say at 45 or 40 or 35--a dilemma as they are seeking to expand their business. ``As soon as I hire No. 50, then my business is no longer exempt. So what do I do? I freeze out hiring more people and look to double up people's salaries or put people on overtime.'' At a time when we have over 12 million people looking for a job and millions of people underworked or working two and three part-time jobs to make ends meet, we are imposing this law on them. It could not have come at a worse time.
Then there is a medical device tax and several other taxes that are included in this bill that we continue to find as we read the fine print.
Indiana is a State that is home to a lot of medical device manufacturers. In fact, there are over 300 registered medical device manufacturers that employ 20,000 Hoosiers in the State of Indiana and another 28,000 people who benefit from that employment. There are more than 400,000 workers employed nationwide by this industry.
So what did the ObamaCare plan propose? Well, we need some pay-fors. To pay for the law, the administration decided to impose a 2.3 percent tax on these medical device manufacturers.
Mr. COATS. Thank you, Mr. President.
These medical device manufacturers are employing people at an average rate of about 41 percent greater than the average worker rate of pay in my State, so these are desired jobs. But, again, employers and manufacturers of medical devices are telling me they are being forced to go overseas because of the burden of regulation and a tax that has nothing to do with the essential program of the health care plan.
That is not the only tax that is imposed in this law. There are many hidden taxes here that we are just learning about. Let me name five: the excise tax on charitable hospitals; the drug industry tax, separate from medical devices; the health insurance industry tax; the insurer excise tax; and a Blue Cross-Blue Shield tax hike.
The Joint Committee on Taxation found that the health care law imposes more than $550 billion in new taxes and penalties, most of which will fall on the middle class.
Third, the impact on the State of Indiana.
ObamaCare forces States to expand Medicaid rolls so significantly that it will be imposed--and this has been talked about earlier today--upon the States in a way that can cripple their ability to try to find some balance in their budgets. In Indiana, where our budget is in far better shape than many other States, we still cannot afford the current Medicaid Program, let alone the projected new costs that will be required under the ObamaCare law.
An outside group has estimated that $3.1 billion in new costs over the next decade will be imposed on Indiana taxpayers if the 1.5 eligible Hoosiers enroll in Medicaid as a result of this health care law. This added expense does not include any payment relief to providers and, therefore, shifts costs to patients by driving up premiums for all Hoosiers.
In conclusion, we have to ask the question: What is the remedy for this fatal disease called ObamaCare? Well, the remedy may lie with the Supreme Court. They are hearing arguments on this today, and will for the next 2 days, and we will have a decision on the constitutionality of this law by the summer. But the health care debate also, most likely, will end up back here in Congress one way or another, and that leaves us the responsibility of addressing this.
From forcing individuals to purchase insurance, to taxing successful job creators and burdening State budgets, I believe the health care law is so deeply flawed that it must be scratched and replaced with real reform, reform that lowers the cost of care, allows the doctor--your doctor, not the government--to decide the kind of medical care you need, and provides flexibility to States.
Real health care reform lowers costs, it improves access to quality care, empowers individuals, and preserves personal liberties; and that is not what we have in the law that currently is on the books. So whether through congressional legislation or court action, ObamaCare needs to be overturned and replaced with commonsense provisions that put patients--not government, not bureaucrats--in charge of health care decisions.
ObamaCare has proven to be the wrong prescription, and it is time for a new treatment. Americans want reform that remedies our ailing health care system, not one that weakens it and drives it deeper and drives us deeper as a Nation into debt.
Mr. President, I yield the floor.

SGI Enables Romanian Aerospace Agency to Run Highly Complex Aeronautic Models Six Times Faster
October 20, 2016
The National Institute of Aerospace Research (INCAS) "Elie Carafoli" will power its scientific and aeronautical research program with a new SGI UV high-performance computing (HPC) system, installed with the assistance of our valued partner, Spearhead Systems. This updated SGI system allows INCAS to run its high fidelity simulations with dedicated software up to six times faster.
Based in Romania, INCAS is a world leader in aerospace research. The organization has 60 years of experience in aerospace, engineering, flow physics and applied aerodynamics in both national aeronautical and military programs. In addition, INCAS is involved in creating a vision for the future of aviation in Europe by participating in FlightPath 2050 and Horizon 2020, the EU's largest research and innovation program, with an €80 billion investment to ensure the production of world-class science across Europe.
Simulation for Aerodynamic Performance
The new SGI HPC system will be at the centre of INCAS' research, providing the computing power required for INCAS' research projects involving aerodynamic resistance modelling and manipulation. This large computer system is used to run very complex algorithms and generate performance reports for numerical simulation of flow in order to assess aerodynamic performance. It will increase analytic accuracy through parallel computing and enable more precise simulations using nearly real-world geometry.
"This is the second SGI system we have installed at INCAS," said Costea Emil, head of Department Technical Services at INCAS. "SGI solutions have allowed us to rapidly develop and test our software prototypes and solutions. With our newest installation, we can reduce the time required to program algorithms, allowing us to focus on the key scientific problems we're chartered to solve."
SGI Supercomputer Analyzes Data 6x Faster than Previous Generation
INCAS' decision to invest in a new SGI HPC system was based on the success from its first SGI installation four years ago. With the updated SGI system including the SGI UV server, the team reported it was able to analyze data in its workload six times faster. When INCAS researchers calculated aerodynamic performance by running 10,000 iterations on the first SGI system, it lasted only 10 hours, compared to the 60 hours it took on the previous system.
Faster Processing Yields Quicker Turnaround for End Users
Additionally, when researchers analyzed aerodynamics of the moment of a space capsule re-entering into Earth's atmosphere at MACH 10 and MACH 20 speeds, a standard system with 16 cores required 26 days; however, using the updated SGI system with 128 cores out of the total of 528, the algorithm can be run in less than five days, speeding up job processing for an overall better end user experience.
INCAS researchers can now obtain results for complex aerodynamic problems using complicated geometries for different aircraft and spacecraft vehicles. With the aid of the SGI system providing the needed computing power for dedicated software, the running time to obtain results is reduced significantly, 5-6 times lower, while the deviation from the experimental model is relatively small.
Technical Information
The new INCAS SGI HPC system includes:
- SGI® UV™ Server - designed for high performance, in-memory computing. The SGI UV is the organization's key computational and analytical system used by INCAS' scientists and engineers.
- SGI® InfiniteStorage™ 5000 - a field-proven storage platform offering a highly modular, flexible and cost-effective path to consolidated storage.
- SGI® InfiniteStorage™ NVRAM card - the industry's fastest storage technology, used to support demanding applications and run real-time computations.
- SGI® InfiniteStorage™ NAS Server - provides customers with high levels of configuration flexibility. INCAS installed this server in 2012 as a central storage point for all scientific data generated for all of INCAS' research teams.
"The outstanding work generated by INCAS in aerospace scientific research, and through its commitment to EU policy making, establishes the organization as a leader in the aeronautics industry," said Gabriel Broner, vice president and general manager of HPC at SGI. We are happy the simulation and data analysis capabilities of SGI systems will permit INCAS to realize the full extent of its competencies and expertise, and we look forward to the future innovations that this partnership will enable."
The installation of the new SGI HPC system at INCAS will be supported by both SGI and INCAS' chosen IT services company, Spearhead Systems.

[Just after midnight Eastern time Friday morning, the Prospectus staff starts discussing the coming agreement] Derek Zumsteg: It appears that if the owners gave in right now, just said "sure, we'll take your last offer", they'd have won more in this negotiation than in any previous one since free agency. Why did the players move so far? Are they that afraid of the NLRB and implementation? Do they believe that if they give in this time, they'll be able to win it back in four years when it's apparent none of this did any good for competitive balance? I'm baffled.

Lost between the Mike Hampton and Alex Rodriguez signings was Monday's annual Rule 5 draft. The major-league portion allows teams to select players left off 40-man rosters for $50,000, with the caveat that the player must be kept on the 25-man roster all season or be offered back to his original team for $25,000. The minor-league portions work similarly, but without the mandatory roster provision.

About two weeks ago, the story broke that Major League Baseball was contemplating another round of realignment for the 2001 season. While the plan floated is subject to change, the primary adjustments would lead to a four-division, no-wild-card National League, and a three-division, wild-card American League. The two most recent expansion teams would switch leagues, and teams would be aligned in a time-zone-friendly manner.

Las Vegas (AFP) Jan 10, 2014
French fashion is getting smarter with the help of fabric woven with micro-sensors that can reveal when someone is weary or unwell.
France-based Cityzen Sciences was at the Consumer Electronics Show on Friday with shirts made of "Smart Sensing" material that reads body heat, heart rate, motion and location.
"The fabric can be made into any clothing; gloves, shirts, pants, you name it," said Gilbert Reveillon, international managing director at Cityzen, the lead company in a consortium that created the material.
"It is the first time ever that we managed to mix these two industries, embedding sensors into textile."
Sensors in the shirt capture data about a wearer and transmit the information through a small battery-powered unit sewn discretely where a label typically goes.
The data is sent in real-time wirelessly to a smartphone, where an application charts it in a timeline and alerts people to potential physical problems.
The application can show if a wearer is tired or stressed, or even if a coming heart attack is coming, according to Reveillon.
"You can't prevent a heart attack from happening, but you could definitely detect it hours, or even days, ahead of it taking place," Reveillon told AFP.
"On the field, a coach could tell when a member of the team has been running over capacity and put in a fresh player."
The material was developed in collaboration with major French sports teams as well as members of the health industry.
The Cityzen smart shirt was honored for innovation at a first-ever digital health summit at CES.
"This really does seem like science fiction," Everyday Health chief operating officer Paul Slavin quipped after presenting Cityzen a top award for innovation.
Everyday Health, a digital health company, sponsored the prize.
A member of the Cityzen team wore the shirt while venturing for more than an hour along the famed Las Vegas strip, with his smartphone revealing how his body handled the outing.
"The Las Vegas street definitely increases the heartbeat," Reveillon said. "The vibes are very positive."
The smart fabric can be laundered and ironed without worry.
"In two years' time, by washing it, you will recharge the batteries," Reveillon promised.
The material was said to cost about 30 to 40 percent more than commonly used fabric.
The fabric was expected to be in commercial products late this year.
"It will be worldwide, either medical or sports," Reveillon said.
"Our proposal is to imbed micro-sensors now, nano-sensors soon, into any fabric."
Potential uses of the material will only be limited by the creativity and talent of software savants making applications that analyze and react to what is learned about wearers.
"A child could be wearing this shirt and, if a mother sees his heart rate and temperature jump, she can call him home and even watch the path he takes," Reveillon said.
The Smart Sensing consortium is backed, in part, by the French government.
The fabric is part of a hot trend of putting low-cost sensors in anything from light fixtures to jewelry or the soles of shoes to make environments adapt to or provide feedback regarding what people want or do.

MANILA Officials told residents still reeling from mudslides that recently buried hundreds in the northern Philippine mountains to be ready to abandon their homes again if a storm approaching Friday becomes the third typhoon in a month to hit the country.
The warning came after back-to-back storms since Sept. 26 caused the worst flooding in 40 years in and around the capital Manila and unleashed landslides in the Cordillera mountains in the north of the country, killing 773 people and affecting more than 7 million.
Tropical Storm Lupit may intensify into a super typhoon by the time it makes landfall next week with winds up to 143 mph, forecasters said. It was expected to enter Philippine waters late Friday.
"We are still retrieving our dead and here comes (Lupit)," Gov. Nestor Fongwan of Benguet province said in a radio interview. "I hope it does not hit us."
At least 288 people were killed in last week's landslides in Benguet province.
TRACK TYPHOON: Joint Typhoon Warning Center
The new storm may spare the saturated northern Philippines and veer toward Taiwan early next week, or may track the same devastating path as Typhoon Parma, which made landfall Oct. 3 then lingered for a week while battering the main northern island of Luzon, said chief weather forecaster Nathaniel Cruz.
Disaster-relief officials in the Cordillera region advised thousands of residents to be prepared to move to safer ground to avoid the threat of mudslides that last week buried dozens of mountainside houses with entire families, blocked roads and isolated towns for days.
"We are informing them that there's an incoming typhoon and that we must be aware of the necessity for pre-emptive evacuation once we know that we will be hit," said Olive Luces, head of the Office of Civil Defense in Baguio city, 130 miles north of Manila.
With the jagged terrain in the region of more than 1.2 million people, Luces said that large swathes of land may be considered danger zones. Residents living in low-lying areas, near cliffs and mountain slopes will be priority targets for evacuation, she said.
The Joint Typhoon Warning Center, operated by the U.S. Navy in Hawaii, projected the storm may make landfall Wednesday in northeastern Isabela or Cagayan provinces and exit the Philippines through northwestern Illocos provinces the same day.
Health officials warned there has been an upsurge in leptospirosis, a disease spread through exposure to water contaminated with the urine of infected animals, in parts of the country still submerged in floodwater.
Health Secretary Francisco Duque said 1,027 leptospirosis cases and 89 deaths were recorded in Manila alone from Oct. 1-15.
More cases were expected because up to 1.7 million people were still exposed to floods, he said. Last year, about 800 cases were treated nationwide and about 60 people died.

Jo Jackson is a playgroup assistant for a Pinewood pre-school group which has used the school facilities for more than 20 years, and she says the effects of the fire are far-reaching.
"The school is very much a community centre and focal point for people — it's set right in the middle of an estate so everyone's affected," she said.
"There were a lot of children at the school on the night it was burnt down and they were very, very upset.
"I saw teenagers there who were quite distressed because it was their first school. The whole thing is heartbreaking for everyone involved."
Two boys aged ten and 11 were arrested shortly after the fire began on March 27 at around 6.45pm, and were released on bail pending further inquiries.
Police believe a group of children set fire to a bin next to the school and the flames quickly spread out of control to engulf the entire school.
Around 80% of the school was destroyed in the blaze and the remaining 20% has been rendered unusable, leaving council staff to search for alternative arrangements for the children after the Easter holidays.
A total of 57 children attend the playgroup and many were distraught at the destruction of their work. Mrs Jackson said: "All of our toys and paperwork have been destroyed as well as the children's work.
"They had been making eggs in the run-up to Easter and many were upset that they had been burnt.
"They were also a bit confused and upset because they thought we lived in the building and that something may have happened to us.
"It is very frightening for them."
Vandals had regularly targeted Pinewood Infant School in the weeks leading up to the fire, although few could have predicted such devastating consequences.
"We had the police out the Friday before the fire," said Mrs Jackson. "Our play equipment had been vandalised again — our shed has been jumped on and damaged many times."
Parents had regularly complained to the police
and council regarding the increasing amount of youths hanging around at the school after hours.
Parent and local resident Simon Wright has a daughter who has attended the school since September and he had noticed the problems the school had with vandals.
Furious that the problem had been allowed to escalate, he said: "There seemed to have been a complete lack of interest from the police and the council.
"Perhaps if the complaints had been taken seriously this could have been avoided.
"However I am happy for my daughter to continue her education in a portable building at Pinewood because I think it is a lovely school and it offers her a good education."
Local Fernhill councillor John Marsh agreed there had been problems at the school in the past.
He said: "There has been a fair bit of vandalism at the school that has been going on for a long time.
"They mainly damaged play equipment and the school building by breaking the windows.
"Unfortunately this is an ongoing problem that
affects many schools in the area — it was not unique to Pinewood School."
Cllr Marsh added that his present main aim was to engage in talks with the county council on rebuilding the school.
Hampshire County Council has organised temporary classrooms to be placed on the playground at Pinewood Infants for when the children return after the Easter break.
Two classrooms not damaged in the fire are also going to be used for teaching and a large portable building will act as the main hall to ensure the school can still operate as normally as possible.
The language impairment unit, playgroup and community group have also been provided with temporary accommodation.
A practical guide has also been issued to parents giving them support in helping their children cope with the distress of the incident.

Students who study in the Czech Republic on the basis of the Czech government scholarship or agreements of the Ministry of Education – unfortunately, the administration has not been standardized.
The easiest for all the participating parties (i.e. patients and physicians) is to use the REGISTRATION NUMBER in the student´s "index" that enables the medical institution to charge the appropriate department of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic according to the valid legislation. The charges will be made according to the personal data taken from the passport or identity card.
The registration number is indicated in the "Index" (Study Records Book) on the front page or within the special records at the back.
It is strongly recommended that foreign students should always present their "Index" at each visit to a health institution.
This concerns foreign students from certain countries (recently it is Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iraq, Yemen, Cuba, Libya and Morocco) who could use medical care on the basis of a valid inter-government agreement (individual agreements for each of the countries).
Foreign student-patient must present a valid passport of the appropriate country.
Medical actions taken will be reimbursed by the financial department of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic in compliance with valid legislation.
