Those who purchased Obamacare plans during the January enrollment period were 40% lower than earlier government and private estimates. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) had predicted 21 million sign-ups for this year, yet there were only 12.7 million. About 1 million people are expected to drop, or be dropped from, their plans during the year due to inability to pay or lack of payment of premiums. It is unclear how many people are buying health plans through insurance brokers and companies directly, rather than using the exchanges.
Both sides of the law agree that the exchanges need a better balance of low and high income people buying plans. With more unhealthy people, the rates continue to rise. Low-income people tend to have more health problems. Higher income people tend to already be insured.
The plans are too expensive for those who make 400% of the poverty level ($97,000 for family of four). Higher income makes them ineligible for subsidies and tax credits. Only 3% of those buying plans on the exchanges earned more than this amount, while last year this number was estimated to be 25%.
Obamacare supporters believe that enrollment is low because the process hasn't recovered from the original rollout in 2013. The CBO expected more employers to drop plans and force employees onto the exchanges, and thought those who were not eligible for subsidies would still buy exchange plans.
Having insurance may not be as important to people as the Obama administration thought, as other financial needs have more priority. It is cheaper to pay the penalty and pay cash for any health care needs that arise. Young people don't want to pay for plan benefits that they don't need or want, so are purchasing catastrophic plans for those big ticket injury or illness bills.
CMS is addressing insurers concerns by reducing the number of enrollment periods during the year. Having many opportunities to sign up ended up with many sick people, some who waited until they were sick to purchase, and then dropped the plans when they didn't need them anymore. Insurers need more flexibility to offer affordable health plans which cover only what people really need.

What began as another fanciful 2 week exploration of restaurants, boulangeries and patisseries in Paris with a 2 or 3 day excursion to Avignon next spring has evolved into a 16 day tour of Provence at the end of October and 2 or 3 days in Paris, such was the persuasive power of the advice, opinions and descriptions of the regular contributors to this site. Thank you all.
Like many who initially propose a dining itinerary around Provence, I found myself planning an extensive tour of the region as well as a very substantial lunch and dinner every day, but realized such an undertaking would require more time driving and transporting ourselves rather than experiencing Provence and might eventually diminish the enjoyment of savoring both the meals and the memories of them as well. We still may be trying to see, do and eat too much so hope to hear if the proposed itinerary seems too ambitious. Trying to start slowly and alternating with either a light lunch and full dinner, or substantial lunch and a light dinner when possible.
Day 1 Arrive in Avignon early evening after long travel day
Dinner - Le Petit Peche? for something light.
Sleeping in Avignon
Day 2 Tour Avignon
Lunch - Shop Les Halles Market for picnic.
Dinner - Cuisine du Dimanche (specialty is either roast chicken or scallops which is probably all we can manage this first day)
Sleeping in Avignon
Day 3 Rhone wine tour from Avignon (We'll have a rental car from here on)
Viason la Romaine till winery and tastings, Cairanne, Gigondas, Chateauneuf du Pape
Lunch- L'Oustalet in Gigondas
Dinner - Le Cinq Sens, L'Isle Sonnante or a suggestion
Sleeping in Avignon
Day 4 See Apt on Market day, then Bonnieux in the afternoon
Lunch-Auberge de Castelas in Sivergue (and if weather predicted good, sw it to dinner and get lunch from the market stalls or follow our noses to a bistro in Apt)
Dinner- Restaurant Pont Julien? hope someone is familiar with it. the lunch at Castelas sounds so substantial may just be able to handle a soup and salad
Sleeping in Bonnieux
Day 5 l'Isle sur la Sorge (Sunday market day) Fontaine de Vaucluse (Le Thor if time permits) and stopping at Domaine de la Citedelle in Menebes to look at some corkscrews and pick up a bottle
L - Le Vieux Bistro in Cabrieres d'Avignon
D - Possibly dining in at Le Clos du Buis ((if enough guests ask)
Sleeping in Bonnieux
Day 6 Lourmarin, Jardins du Val Joanis, Ansouis and or Cucuron as time permits
L- Restaurant Du Lac (near Pertuis) or La Closerie.in Ansouis
D-La Bartavelle in Goult (Two big meals but sometimes you just have to suffer)
Sleeping in Bonnieux
Day 7 Gordes (Tuesday Market Day) Abbaye de Senanque, Roussillon
This also is All Saints Day Do the markets operate then? and will have to ck w restaurants
L-Auberge de la Loube in Buoux if closed today will flip flop day 6 and day 7
D-L'Arome in Bonnieux (late celebration 43rd anniversary- really late it was back in June)
Sleeping in Bonnieux
Day 8 Saint Remy (Wed Market Day) Glanum, Les Baux,
L- Bistro du Paradou or La Place in Maussane-les-Alpilles help!
D- Sous les Micocouliers in Eygalieres
Probably Sleeping in Eygalieries so we don't have to drive after dinner
Day 9 Pont du Gard, Uzes
L- prefer Uzes or nearby still researching
D- pending big or light meal at lunch
Sleeping in Arles
Day 10 Open to explore then returning the rental car
L-L'Affenage in Arles
D- Tempted to select either L'Atellier or Le Cilantro but hoping to discover a not so thoroughly reviewed establishment and at least attempt to explore
Sleeping in Arles
Day 11 Arles (Sat Market Day)
probably too full from Market grazing for a sit down lunch but will give it a try
L-Jardin des Arts (decent salads?)
Sleeping in Arles
Day 12 Nimes
Sleeping in Arles
I'm still doing research and will update the open meals but I really want to get your suggestions and recommendations.
Day 13-16 Staying with friends in Montpellier, (they're vegetarians) Since they're familiar with many of the establishments and dine "Provence" I'm considering taking them to
Les jardins de Marrakech in Montpellier. We occasionally choose to dine at one or another Moroccan restaurant here in the San Francisco bay area because of the completely relaxed atmosphere, the wonderful aromas and the alternating and so very interesting hot then cold then spicy then sweet (especially fond of the bstillam then the main couscous and tangine courses. I love a restaurant that gives you a bathtowel for your napkin! Anyone know this place and is it okay? And if by chance the weather is lovely, perhaps treat them to lunch or dinner seaside, in Sete or Aigues-Mortes as well. Any suggestions there?
And I thank everyone in advance and only hope my trip report can inspire others half as much as Kurtis' report did me.

what is food?
What is food? Food is fuel and function, passion and excess -- the essential and the unnecessary. Food is identity and community. Food is personal and political. It is what we take fully into ourselves and what we reject. Food is what we nurture and what we withhold. It is pride and self-loathing. It is medicine and poison. Food is fullness and hunger. It is hope and despair, pleasure and deprivation, thirst and longing and desperation. Food is wholeness and fragmentation. It is all the parts coming together to make one, and the one that it is broken down again. Food is life and death. It is art and destruction. Food is stored energy. It is potential and possibility. It is process and transformation. Food is the perfect mirror. It is always both itself and the person who is eating it. Food is whatever we bring to the table. Food is relationship. An encounter with food is an intimate encounter with the full range and reality of our humanity -- a visceral experience of the overlap between need and choice. And when we see food for what it is, then we see ourselves.
beyond food
I am beyond grateful and excited to be collaborating in the pioneering and advancement of a new therapeutic approach in the field of psychology -- which I am calling RELATIONAL FOOD PSYCHOLOGY. It is an emerging model which integrates ideas from some of today's most progressive minds in mental health and food psychology, along with key aspects of Relational Gestalt Therapy, to evoke a new conversation around how we as humans navigate our primal and complex relationships with food.
We all encounter challenges with food -- albeit to varying degrees -- just like we all face challenges in relationship. We struggle because we are human. And so, to approach these challenges from any place other than one of compassion and curiosity intended to fully validate and inspire our humanity -- with all its extraordinary possibilities and limitations -- is to deny an important piece of who we are and why we are here.
When we can instead courageously and deliberately -- and with the compassionate support of others -- venture into an honest exploration of our human struggles in relationship to food, we begin more clearly to see the pieces of ourselves that have been scattered and fragmented among the many "shoulds" and pathologizing attitudes of our culture -- the body-shaming, pleasure-hushing, blame-throwing, willpower-preaching, power-looting, stress-inducing, fear-perpetuating ideas we've all internalized to some degree. And by daring to discover these and other contexts more fully, while also coming to know ourselves more authentically, we take steps toward reclaiming our wholeness. Because the more integrated and unbroken we experience ourselves to be, the more agency we have in choosing.
become a food groupie
The Food Group. Honor and explore your primal and psychological relationship with food. Learn from a robust psychoeducational curriculum that introduces some basic nutritional content, while also challenging dominant cultural narratives around food. Cultivate awareness through mindful eating practices and discussions on current issues, ranging from gut microbiota research and the relationship between food and mood, to food justice and environmental responsibility.
For more information on how to join The Food Group, please contact Angela directly. Please inquire about the group schedule, as current offerings may be different from what appears in the flyer.

Boston Children's Hospital
Current Position
Dr. Engle is also a professor of neurology and ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School and a senior associate in neurology, ophthalmology, and medicine at Boston Children's Hospital.
Current Research
Human Disorders of Cranial Motor Neuron Development and Wiring
People often talk about translating laboratory discoveries into patient care—but inspiration can flow in the reverse direction, as well. In 1992, an encounter with a toddler whose eyes were frozen in a downward gaze led pediatric neurologist Elizabeth Engle to a trove of previously unrecognized congenital disorders that rob patients of normal control of their eye movements. Exploring the clinical and genetic features of these disorders, Engle and her colleagues have defined a new category of syndromes resulting from errors in brainstem motor neuron development.
Engle had completed her training in pediatrics and neuropathology and was finishing her neurology residency when the toddler was admitted to Boston Children's Hospital. "He was born with a very odd fixed eye position, droopy eyelids that would barely open, and a backward head tilt," recalled Engle. Ophthalmologists diagnosed the problem as congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles, a rare birth defect in which the muscles that pull the eyeball down were believed to be replaced by rigid scar tissue. But Engle, who loves neuroanatomy, genetics, and puzzles of all kinds, was not convinced.
Learning that the boy's extended family had 20 similarly affected members, she entered the Children's Hospital laboratories of Alan Beggs and HHMI investigator Louis Kunkel and began a systematic study, combining clinical and genetic analyses. The family notified her when an elderly relative of the patient died of other causes, and she had the opportunity to examine the eyeball and its surrounding muscles. Her research was spurred on by what she found.
The muscle that pulled the eye down was not a mass of scar tissue; it was simply contracted, keeping the eyeball pointed at the ground. In contrast, the muscles that pulled the eye upward were absent altogether, and so was the nerve connecting them to the brainstem. Muscle fibrosis was not the correct diagnosis after all. Instead, Engle had discovered a genetic disorder involving 1 of the 12 cranial nerves that sprout from the brainstem and control the eyes, face, throat, and other parts of the head. Of these, cranial nerves designated 3, 4, and 6 send signals to the six eyeball muscles.
Engle pored over journals looking for case reports and families with similar conditions, and contacted clinicians around the world. Over several years she located more than 700 families affected by this newly described disorder or others related to it. Using DNA linkage and mutation analysis, Engle identified the genetic causes for a series of these disorders, and found that each perturbed development of one or more cranial nerves. These syndromes are now termed congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders (CCDDs). Among them: Duane syndrome, horizontal gaze palsy, Moebius syndrome, and congenital ptosis.
Engle and her colleagues found that CCDDs result from mutations in genes that encode transcription factors crucial to cranial motor neuron development and in genes for proteins that help growing nerve axons connect to the appropriate targets. The mutation in the toddler's family, for example, scrambles the gene for a particular kinesin, a motor molecule that shuttles nutritional and structural cargo through nerve cells. When it is defective, the nerves are starved of critical resources and fail to develop normally.
Engle's group is using mutant mice to reveal the details of the breakdown. "My colleagues and I are excited by the light these studies may shed on the normal development and targeting of cranial motor neurons, and why these neurons seem particularly vulnerable to specific gene mutations," she said. She added that their findings may also reveal general principles guiding the development of more complex circuitry within the brain.
The CCDDs uncovered by Engle and her colleagues are rare forms of strabismus—defects in the coordinated movement and fixation of the eyes, often called "crossed eyes" or "lazy eye." Thousands of patients with strabismus are seen each year at Boston Children's Hospital, where Engle heads a laboratory designated by the National Eye Institute as a center for strabismus diagnostics. Common forms of strabismus result from a combination of genetic and environmental influences, and Engle has begun a large study to identify genetic factors for these disorders.
Engle has kept up with many of her early patients. The toddler whose family helped chart the course of her research career is now a teenager. He had corrective surgery that helped but did not cure his condition. When his cousin graduated from high school this year, Engle joined the family to celebrate. Engle says she hopes her research will one day have a direct impact on her patients' lives. "One of my ultimate goals as a clinician-scientist," she said, "is to move our research back to the bedside by finding better treatments for these early defects in brainstem motor neuron development."

Megakaryocyte potentiating factor belongs to the mesothelin family. This family is comprised by several mammalian pre-pro-megakaryocyte potentiating factor precursor (MPF) or mesothelin proteins. Mesothelin is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked glycoprotein highly expressed in mesothelial cells, mesotheliomas, and ovarian cancer, but the biological function of the protein is not known. Megakaryocyte potentiating factor is highly expressed in mesotheliomas, ovarian cancers, and some squamous cell carcinomas (at protein level). It interacts with MUC16 and potentiates megakaryocyte colony formation in vitro. Megakaryocyte potentiating factor is secreted by several mesothelioma cell lines and is frequently elevated in the blood of patients with mesothelioma. Measurement of this protein may be useful in following the response of mesothelioma to treatment.

The One Stop Shop For All Your Vaping Needs
Genuine Eleaf™ iSmoka iStick Basic Full Kit (w/ GS-Air 2)
Eleaf is one of the most well-known brands within the vaping community, predominantly due to their extraordinarily successful iStick line of box MODs. Building upon this success, Eleaf has now released the latest to the collection—the iStick Basic Kit. This remarkable system combines power, style, innovation, and ease-of-use, resulting in a one-of-a-kind vaping kit that is absolutely perfect in every way.
Eleaf iStick Basic Box MOD:
The Eleaf iStick Basic Box MOD is a spectacular device that is not only powerful and beautiful, but also designed to be extremely user-friendly. Equipped with a substantial internal battery, the iStick Basic MOD can last the day without needing a charge, helping to ensure you are never left without a functioning vaporizer to use.
The moment you first lay your eyes on the Eleaf iStick Basic Box MOD, you can't help but to notice its genuinely exquisite design. Its sleek oval shape is accentuated by the elegant chrome fixtures, giving it an exceptionally classy and contemporary look that looks more like a modern sculpture than an electronic cigarette device.
The Eleaf iStick Basic Box MOD internal battery boasts a hefty 2,300 mAh of battery capacity. This level of capacity will be sure to last you through the day before needing a charge. When the battery does need to be charged, it can be done effortlessly with the included USB-to-micro USB charging cable. Charge time is approximately 4 hours.
The Eleaf iStick Basic Box MOD does not contain an OLED screen, as the factory settings are programmed to work optimally with the included Eleaf GS Air 2 Tank. Without the various settings and functions to worry about, you will be able to use this device straight out of the box with virtually no learn time needed. This makes the Eleaf iStick Basic Kit perfect for a beginner who wants a genuinely high-quality vape from the very first puff.
Eleaf GS Air 2 Tank:
The Eleaf iStick Basic Kit comes with the wonderful GS Air 2 Tank. This wonderful clearomizer uses Eleaf's new GS Air atomizer head, which is known for producing great vapor production as well as rich flavor production. The GS Air Coils are made with 100% Japanese organic cotton, which substantially adds to the purity of your e-juice flavor. Devoid of bleach and other impurities, organic cotton offers cleaner, truer, and tastier hits than coils made with standard cotton.
The Eleaf GS Air 2 Tank body is made with chrome-plated 304-grade stainless steel. Blended with both chromium and nickel, 304 stainless steel is strong, durable, and highly resistant to corrosion and rust. The 2ml glass portion of the tank is made with high-grade Pyrex glass rather than plastic. This was a smart choice on the part of Eleaf, as glass is resistant to the acidity contained within e-juice. Plastic tanks, on the other hand, will show sign of wear and deterioration over time. This not only adds to the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the tank, but offers better flavor since plastic is not slowly eroding into the ejuice.
The Eleaf GS Air 2 Tank is furnished with a wonderful airflow control valve, which is located at its base. This fantastic component allows you to accurately adjust the amount of air that is drawn into the tank when you take a hit. You can customize the air intake, making it perfect for those who like airier hits as well as those who fancy tighter ones. The ability to regulate the air intake is also useful in eliminating flooding and gurgling when alternating between e-juices of varying VG consistency.
Eleaf brilliantly engineered the GS Air 2 so that it can be fully disassembled. You can detach the tank's various components, which makes it extremely easy to clean and maintain. You will have ready access to all of the nooks and crannies of the various parts without needing small tools, such as Q-Tips. Moreover, the ability to remove the drip tip allows you to alternate between virtually any 510 mouthpiece you wish. This permits you to use various colors and materials, which is especially handy for those who don't enjoy metal mouthpieces.
One of the most revolutionary aspects of the Eleaf iStick Basic Kit is the magnetic lock and secure feature for the tank. The GS Air comes with a magnetic base that will snap the tank into place without the need to screw it in. This makes removing and replacing it extremely effortless. Moreover, the Eleaf iStick Basic Kit also comes with an eGo-threaded magnetic base that can be used on tanks with an eGo threading. As long as the tank is 14mm in diameter, you can use virtually any other tank you wish. You can substitute the included GS Air 2 Tank with others, such as the Kanger Mini Protank 2, Kanger Mini Protank 3, Kanger Aerotank Mini, and Aspire CE5, among others.
Regardless of the tank you are using with the Eleaf iStick Basic MOD, once the magnetic base is attached, it can be pulled right off and snapped right back into place easily. Adding to the innovation is the fact that the tank is recessed into the body of the iStick Basic battery so that only the mouthpiece is exposed. This gives the iStick Basic as a whole an exquisitely clean, classy, and sophisticated look. With the windows on the battery's side, you can monitor the amount of e-juice that remains in the tank.
Stylish, compact, sleek, and truly innovative, the Eleaf iStick Basic is a great choice for those who want to begin vaping straight out of the box with no learning curve required. All you need is some e-liquid, and you can start enjoying a quality vape with no hassles.

Swaddling – the act of wrapping a baby in a thin blanket or cloth -- is an extremely common parenting technique that has been practiced around the world for centuries.
Many believe that it has a calming effect that encourages sleep and relaxation, but new research indicates that it can actually be very dangerous.
An analysis conducted at the University of Bristol led researchers to conclude that swaddling a child for sleep can actually increase the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), a condition defined by the sudden death of an infant younger than one year old.
Sleeping position is key
The researchers initially began their review to determine if there was a tangible link between swaddling for sleep and SIDS, but ran into complications with the prior studies. Despite these limitations, they found that the way in which a baby was put down for sleep made a huge difference when it came to increasing the risk of SIDS.
"We only found four studies and they were quite different, and none gave a precise definition for swaddling, making it difficult to pool the results," said Dr. Anna Pease, lead author of the review. "We did find, however, that the risk of SIDS when placing infants on the side or front for sleep increased when infants were swaddled."
This finding reinforces that it is important for babies to sleep on their backs, especially if they are being swaddled. The researchers found that the risk of SIDS nearly doubled for babies who slept on their sides while being swaddled.
Especially dangerous as children age
The analysis also revealed that swaddling becomes a more dangerous practice as a baby gets older. Pease explains that being able to move independently can increase a child's chances of putting themselves in danger while they're swaddled.
"We found some evidence in this review that as babies get older, they may be more likely to move into unsafe positions while swaddled during sleep, suggesting an age is needed after which swaddling for sleep should be discouraged," she said, adding that most babies start being able to roll over at about 4-6 months.
The researchers hope that their findings will allow parents to examine their own parenting techniques and help them adjust so that their baby remains safe.
"On a practical level what parents should take away from this is that if they choose to swaddle their babies for sleep, always place them on their back, and think about when to stop swaddling for sleep as their babies get older and more able to move," said Pease.
The full study has been published in Pediatrics.

A few months ago I had it all together… I was running a home based childcare, managing a household, keeping it clean on a daily basis [even with toddlers playing in it all day], organizing kids activities and crafts, meal planning for both my business and my family, preparing meals, exercising daily, completing projects, accomplishing goals, and still had time at the end of the day to sit down to dinner with my family and have some couple time with my husband once our daughter went to sleep. Then we moved… Everything changed and my whole life went into chaos. It wasn't the first time.
All change has the capacity to throw our lives into chaos especially when the change knocks us off balance and out of rhythm. When you have a good rhythm, you can rely on it to keep you organized and carry you through even on the most challenging of days. But what about when you need to completely revamp it such as when you move to another city, change jobs, or have a baby? Okay so I didn't just have another baby, but I did move and change jobs [with a toddler in tow]–it threw me off and I am still doing my best to get back up to speed in my new life in my new home.
Even though I feel like I am finally doing what I was born to do, blogging has only added to the chaos. I can't think of anything but blogging, nor do I want to do anything else [with the exception of spending time with my family of course], but I must re-work my rhythms to find success in both my personal and professional life in the year ahead. [It would also be really nice to have a clean house again, and to be able to answer my husband when he asks me, "What's for dinner love?"]
The concept of rhythm as it relates to childcare and education was first developed by Rudolf Steiner and is incorporated into the Waldorf philosophy where "right rhythm" is recognized as being of fundamental importance for optimal health and work outcomes. I first learned about rhythm a few years ago when I read You Are Your Child's First Teacher, Third Edition: Encouraging Your Child's Natural Development from Birth to Age Six written by Rahima Baldwin Dancy. [One of the most fantastic parenting books ever written! I have provided an amazon affiliate link for you above.] I further implemented the concept of rhythm in my day to day life during the time that I ran a "Waldorf inspired" home-based childcare called Magical Snapdragons. Much to my amazement, it kept me organized and on task even on my worst days.
Dancy explains rhythm as follows, "Creating a rhythmical home life will nourish both you and your child… Because the young child is so centered in the body and in imitation, rhythm is one of the most important keys to discipline. It both guides the child's life by creating good habits and helps avoid arguments and problems." (Kindle Loc 2071) She further states "Children provided with this regular life feel confident about their world and are not concerned by uncertianty about when the next thing will happen. Rhythm in home life can also help calm a nervous or difficult child by turning the child's life into a series of events in which he participates, and from which he gains a new sense of security and competency." (Kindle Loc 2099)
Creating a rhythm for our lives has helped me immeasurably with my spirited, strong-willed daughter because she has had a very difficult time with transitions. Having a daily rhythm has helped us get through our day without her breaking down–and me melting along with her–every time we change from one activity to the next.
Rhythm is the basic order of your daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly routines and events much like a schedule without the rigidity. A daily rhythm flows from activity to activity in a similar fashion day by day. For example, the daily rhythm I followed in my home-based childcare was as follows:
- inside free play
- breakfast
- morning activity (art, craft, baking, modeling)
- morning snack
- walk
- outside play or activity (gardening, yard work)
- lunch
- story time (stories, songs & fingerplays)
- nap time
- afternoon snack
- music time
- outside free play until pick up.
Then my family had dinner followed by my daughters bedtime routine. Since we have moved and I no longer run a home-based childcare I need to establish a new daily rhythm that fits our now changed daily life. There are also rhythms that are repeated weekly, monthly, seasonally, and yearly that help keep us organized and accomplishing our goals. How does one establish a rhythm? That's the topic of another post… Be sure to sign up for my newsletter so you don't miss it!

|Marital Status
|Investment banker
|Wil Horneff
|First Appearance
|Daddy's Boy
Taddy was Carnell Hall's friend at Princeton University. He was portrayed by actor Wil Horneff.
While trying to find out the source of Carnell's illness, he finally admits he spent spring break in Jamaica rather than studying like he told his father. The doctors realize they need to speak to the people Carnell travelled with. Carnell tells them that Taddy paid for his plane ticket down. He didn't want his father to know because his father disapproved of receiving gifts from the rich kids he went to school with.
Allison Cameron is sent to New York City to see Taddy. He assures her that he and Carnell haven't had sex or any intimate contact and, that although they were roommates and sat next to each other on the plane, they didn't spend much time together. The only complaint he has is a rash on his thigh. Cameron insists on seeing it, but someone breaks into Taddy's office to see him while she's examining him. Cameron can't identify the rash but asks Taddy to come to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital for tests. However, Taddy is busy on a deal and refuses.
When Cameron returns to the hospital, Gregory House wants to know more about the rash, and is dissatisfied when Cameron can't describe it better than to compare it to a diaper rash. He tells Cameron to lie to Taddy to get him to come in.
Cameron is struggling with the moral dilemma that House has put her in and seeks advice from Lisa Cuddy. However, it soon turns out that Cameron won't have to lie - she's heard that Taddy is being rushed to the hospital because he is now much sicker and has symptoms similar to Carnell's.
House tries to question Taddy, but Taddy insists that he and Carnell didn't share drugs or sex. When House asks why Taddy paid for Carnell to go to Jamaica, he says he did it because he felt bad that on every vacation, Carnell had to work at his father's scrap yard. However, House was under the impression that the father ran a construction business and realizes Carnell and Taddy may have been exposed to a toxic piece of scrap metal.

Facing TV Problems? Ask a TV Technician.
Hello JA customer,
Thank you for your question.
So that I may further assist you, could you please supply the full model number of your TV?
Thank you for using JA, and I look forward to your response.
Thank you
I don't show any information on file for this model number, although it does come up on the web sparsely. Is this a US marketed set?
Thank you, XXXXX XXXXX may be able to help you.
There are several possibilities here including the LED panel, drivers, and LED controller, and Gamma settings, tint control.
If this just occurred all of a suddenly without making any adjustments to the gamma, tint, or from a firmware upgrade, then it would narrow it down to a hardware failure.
Also if this is a true LED panel, and not an LCD panel with LED lighting (some Sony sets), and it is pink on all inputs including the Menu/OSD, then I suspect the green LED driver is faulty.
Thank you for using Just Answer, and if you should have any additional questions,please ask.

The only thing that made him notable was the fact that, while he killed himself by jumping off a building, he landed on top of the Supreme Chancellor and killed him. Until his suicide note was found many years later the people of the Galaxy thought Jax Pavan 160,185,114 was an assassin. When the truth was found out, they just thought he was a loser.

External debts in India
Just like how no human being can exist in isolation, no country can exist on its own. We depend on other countries for something or the other. This is especially true for a developing country which is on the path of development. Ever since India got her independence, she has relied on other countries for external assistance.

Should you want a little more on the Australian dollar, BusinessDay's Michael Pascoe would be more than happy to oblige:
On a day like this, we couldn't go without the performance of the Australian dollar:
- 100.65 US cents
- 101.67 yen
- 77.19 euro cents
- 65.198 pence
And let's not forget the blue chips:
- Rio: +0.4%
- Westpac: -1.2%
- Fortescue: -0.3%
- Woolworths: +0.3%
- Wesfarmers: +1%
- Telstra: -0.4%
And the best and worst performers for the week:
Here's the best and worst performers on the ASX200 today:Back to top
Among the sectors:
- Materials: +0.6%
- Consumer staples: +0.7%
- Energy: +1%
- Financials: -0.4%
- Telecommunications: -0.4%
The market has finished marginally higher, with the benchmark S&P/ASX200 inching up just 7.7 points, or 0.1 per cent, to 5206.1, while the broader All Ords added 10.5 per cent, or 0.2 per cent, to 5191.1.
An investigation into the tax avoidance schemes of hundreds of wealthy Australians is part of a multinational inquiry into offshore data believed to include 2.5 million leaked tax records, writes BusinessDay's Georgia Wilkins.
The Australian Tax Office's probe, which has so far put two Australians under criminal investigation, will work in tandem with those announced by US and UK governments overnight.
All three inquiries are believed to be based on secret records given to the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists during an investigation into a global network of tax havens last month.
The ICIJ claims the documents represent one of the largest stockpiles of inside information about the offshore system, and include the names of thousands of American, Australian and British citizens.
Nothing like currency action to get the speculation running, or sometimes the other way around. Along the way, a sense of perspective about our dollar's strength and position tends to get lost – or hidden by the odd hedge fund talking its own book, writes BusinessDay's Michael Pascoe.
There are several threads to what the Aussie's been up to this week, ranging from conspiracy theories to Reserve Bank monetary motivations to plain wrong commentary. It was particularly funny to see George Soros' hedge fund and friends trying to talk the Aussie down, and seemingly getting away with it without question.
Do you think a highly professional hedge fund would accidentally leak that it had made a billion-dollar bet against the Aussie? Probably not. Having made such a bet, the fund would have everything to gain by letting it be known. And if a fellow traveller chimes in with a prediction of the Aussie crashing, well, that's extra sauce.
The thing about hedge fund heroes is that you hear plenty about their wins, but not so much about their losses, unless they send the fund broke.
Resmed shares moved further into record territory again today, with a 'buy' recommendation from Nomura, with a $5.40 price target probably helping sentiment.
Previously it had a $5.10 target for the shares. In late trading, Resmed was ahead another 14.5c at $4.98.5c, holding near its all-time high of $5.02 touched earlier in the day.
In a note to clients, Nomura reckons that with more than $670 million of cash on hand, Resmed has sufficient firepower to hike the dividend, undertake a larger buyback - it is regularly in the market - or to borrow another, say $US300-odd for an acquisition, none of which would stretch the balance sheet.Back to top
Bankrupt former ABC Learning Centres boss Eddy Groves will learn next week whether he can move overseas.
Outside Brisbane's Federal Court, Mr Groves said he was feeling good after a one-and-a-half-day hearing to determine his application to live in Canada as an employee of his wife.
Justice John Logan retired on Friday to consider the application, which is opposed by Mr Groves' trustees in bankruptcy, PPB Advisory.
PPB's lawyer Carolyn Conway told the court her client wanted Mr Groves to appear at a public examination - possibly in August - to explain his sale of millions of dollars worth of property.
Incitec Pivot shares were a touch firmer today ahead of its March half earnings on Monday, edging ahead 1.5 cents to $2.84.5
Its shares have been bouncing broadly around the $3 mark for the past 18 months with little headway likely until later in the year, when investors will become more focused on the lift of production in Queensland.
In a recent note to clients, RBS Morgan, unsurprisingly, forecast a weak result but with the year ahead to mark a turning point as its plant in Moranbah, north Queensland, ramps up output and with the improving outlook for the US explosives market.
It still has an 'outperform' recommendation on the shares. ''Patient investors will be rewarded by the explosives PE rerating overtime,'' it told clients.
Hopefully, the March half will mark the bottom of the cycle, it told clients.
Here's a snap shot of the region today:
- Nikkei(Japan): +2.9%
- Shanghai: +0.1%
- Taiwan: -0.3%
- South Korea: -1.3%
- Singapore: +0.1%
- New Zealand: +0.1%
Oil Search is eyeing off a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) project in the Gulf of Papua before its flagship Papua New Guinea project is even finished.
While the company's main focus has been helping deliver the massive $19 billion PNG LNG project it is a joint venture partner in, that project is now 80 per cent complete.
If gas sales start in 2014 as scheduled, Oil Search will have to work out what to do with the extra cash it reeps when its production quadruples from the Exxon Mobile-operated project in which it has a 29 per cent stake.
Oil Search shares are down 0.9 per cent to $7.78.
US private equity firm Carlyle Group has submitted a bid for Anglo-Australian miner Rio Tinto's 80 per cent stake in the Northparkes copper mine in Australia, Dow Jones reported, citing a person familiar with the bid.
Macquarie, which is advising Rio Tinto on the sale, declined to comment. A Carlyle executive and Rio Tinto spokesmen were not immediately available for comment.
Northparkes is one of several assets that Rio Tinto plans to sell as it looks to pare $US5 billion in costs and focus on its best assets to help protect its single-A credit rating in a weakened commodities market.
Carlyle is the second private equity firm to be linked to the Northparkes stake after it was earlier reported that KKR & Co was looking to bid.
However, KKR is no longer in the running, two sources told Reuters.Back to top
Here's a look at how the sectors are performing today:

RBS Morgans senior equities adviser Tony Russell said the weakening Australian dollar helped the resources giants overcome a drop in key commodity prices.
''Because the resource companies are major exporters, trading in US dollars, when they convert that back to the Aussie (dollar) it's getting better,'' he said.
BHP, Rio and Fortescue are all more than 1 per cent higher, while ANZ has slipped 1.3 per cent, while the other three big banks are also in the red.
A bit more on the RBA, this time from Shane Oliver:
No surprises from #RBA statement. No change to growth forecasts, slight downward revision to inflation for 2013. Neutral rate comments...— Shane Oliver (@ShaneOliverAMP) May 10, 2013
...I still see room for at least a cut to 2.5% as mining inv peaks, $A remains high and fiscal cuts continue— Shane Oliver (@ShaneOliverAMP) May 10, 2013
Another take on the RBA statement from earlier on. You can read more about it here:
Nothing in the #RBA statement for the currency warmongers. It seems almost deliberately so #Ausbiz— James Glynn (@JamesGlynnWSJ) May 10, 2013
It's been a big week for the dollar as we've already mentioned today. After losing 2 US cents since yesterday, the local unit has not mounted much of a fightback throughout the local session today.
"The Australian dollar has stemmed the bleeding today after some pretty steep falls overnight," CMC Markets foreign exchange dealer Tim Waterer said.
Mr Waterer said that if the Australian dollar hadn't received a boost following stronger local employment figures on Thursday it may have moved below the 100-US cent mark on Friday.But, he said, a move below parity may still be on the cards.
''If we see a combination of solid US strength and weakness in commodity prices, certainly, the parity level could be called into question over the next few sessions,'' he said.
In recent trade, the Aussie was fetching $US1.0079, down from $US1.024 late yesterday.Back to top

Born in 1973 - France
Delphine Lebourgeois, a graduate from Ecole Nationale des Beaux-Arts de Lyon, and from Central St Martins, has been working in London as an artist for more than ten years. She was the winner of the Images 29 Critics Award and also one of the 4 artists nominated by public vote for the Club Monaco Emerging Artist Award in November 2011.
Delphine Lebourgeois has been developing her practice producing a focused collection of original drawings and collage pieces alongside her popular limited edition Art Prints.
Delphine's extraordinary fine detailed lines and attention to her subject of the power of crowds. Delphine says of her work " Since 2010, I have drawn army-like groups of people, mainly groups of women, who first acted as a metaphor for self representation, illustrating the struggle of working and surviving as an artist.
However, with the series "The Girl has a Gun" (2014), the subject matter naturally expanded to the study of crowd's behaviour, whether it is guarding and protective or, on the contrary, menacing and harmful.
The drawings, created with a fine pen and later coloured with transparent inks, are detailed and layered as if to underline the complexity somehow chaotic of crowds' psychology. Bodies are replicated and organised in a geometrical way, but heads and expressions are unique, allowing ideas such as conformism and peer pressure, solidarity and belonging to be conveyed"
Delphine Lebourgeois's work has been regularly shown at the Affordable Art Fair, The London Print Fair, and at International Art fairs in Singapore, Hong Kong and New York.

"I decided to create Bare Reality because I have always been fascinated by the dichotomy between women's personal lives and how they are depicted in the media; between how we feel about breasts privately and how they are presented for public consumption. Bare Reality is, for me, the inevitable result of being a woman, a feminist and a photographer.
Aside from Bare Reality, which has been two years in the making, I undertake art photography projects (images have been included in group exhibitions) and specialise day to day in photographing people. While these strands of work may seem unconnected, the same themes run through everything I do. My work is always a personal enquiry as much as it is an exploration of people, our loves, our lives and our place in the world. For me, art is a creative, emotional and spiritual journal; it's my passion and calling.
My love of photography took me by surprise. I took a career break from publishing and marketing and decided to retrain as a journalist. To fill some spare time I enrolled on a black and white composition course, which was a revelation: I learnt I enjoyed communicating through the lens. Now I've come full circle, and my latest project, Bare Reality, combines photographs and words. While the human body and human relationships are important current inspirations, my personal projects are often driven by deeper socio-political as well as spiritual questions.
In everything I do I desire to connect deeply with people, practise integrity, and interpret and present their stories. Life is all about love, and I hope there is love in all my work."

About the Book
In December of 2008, I spent 4 days in the Chilean city of Valparaíso (a World Heritage Site). While visiting I felt an immediate connection, due to the similarities to my home of San Francisco. Both are port cities and cultural centers. Both are made up of many hills, and both are full of colorful buildings and beautiful views.
As I traveled the many hills and backstreets I came across wonderful street art, friendly locals and hidden treasures around every corner. But it was the buildings themselves that struck me. I became drawn to the colorful doors of the homes and businesses that dotted the twisting streets. Whether the houses were for the rich or not, they all had character and energy.
This book is my attempt to try to capture some of that energy.

The sys admin's daily grind: Varnish
Slow and Steady
Columnist Charly gives Apache a slick coat of Varnish for better performance.
One still hears the saying, "Salad tastes much better if you replace it with a juicy steak shortly before you dine," although the humor is debatable. Admins are given tips in the same vein: "Apache delivers static content much faster if you replace it with Nginx shortly before the launch." The saying may not faze vegetarians, but it can cause a stir among server admins, including me.
I've just been assigned the task of tweaking Apache 2.2, which outputs almost only static content, for maximum performance. For several reasons, I can't just send the old guy into the desert. Apache is undisputed in terms of flexibility; however, when it comes to performance, it doesn't even bother to take off in pursuit of its rivals.
If I'm not allowed to ditch Apache, I would at least like to put it on a faster steed, such as a fast cache like Varnish [1]. The makers of Varnish designed it from scratch as a caching instance, and its capabilities are accordingly powerful. I could create complex rules in the specially provided Varnish Cache Language (VCL), but for buffering a static website, all I really need is a lean configuration. To begin, I reroute Apache using
NameVirtualHost and
Lists so that it listens on port 8080 instead of port 80 in future; Varnish can then take over on port 80, and its cache can pass on rich content directly to the client.
Most distributions include Varnish. Debian and its derivatives configure Varnish in
/etc/default/varnish, whereas Red Hat and its relatives use
/etc/sysconfig/varnish. I just need to adjust the command-line parameters for the call (
DAEMON_OPTS). Figure 1 shows the configuration I use for my Apache accelerator;
-a :80 specifies that Varnish accepts connections to port 80 on all IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The
-b parameter tells Varnish where Apache has set up camp.
A running Varnish can be controlled via a Telnet interface whose address and port are specified with the
-T option. For security reasons, I only open the port on
localhost. Additionally, I must know the secret, which is stored in the file for the
-S parameter. The
-u and
-g parameters define the username and group membership, as you might expect.
Cache and Carry
The last line, with the
-s parameter, is the most important one in terms of performance, because it controls the type and size of the cache. I can create the cache in RAM or on a disk partition. In this case, I type:
file, /var/cache/varnish.cache,50%
Varnish then uses up to half of the disk space below
/var/cache. The tool occupies the space immediately, but the cache file only grows gradually.
Cold Turkey
Still, no one should expect miracles from a disk cache. My server fortunately has 16GB of RAM: Apache and Varnish consume some of this, but I can afford to hand over 10GB to the cache. If you try to skimp here, Varnish detours into swap space, and the speed advantage is gone. Thus, with
-s malloc,10g, my legacy Apache can gallop off happily into the sunset.

Disclaimer: I do not own Danny Phantom, or else I wouldn't be here! .
Summary: Danny is going through some problems with his powers. Phasing whenever a certain someone is mentioned. Could this lead to hidden feelings between the two? DannySam
Italics Thoughts
Reasons for a malfunction
Danny P.O.V.
"Ugh" I groaned sitting up in my bed. It'd been a long night. A long night with barely any rest. I shot the clock an angry look. Four hours of sleep was not enough when my body was dead. Along with a legion of three ghosts last night there was also my father jumping around "smelling" ghosts as he said.
How did I end up with such a weird family?
At least I have Sam and Tucker, I though to myself. I ran a hand through my midnight black hair pulling out a piece to look at it. Except it wasn't black at all.
Wait a sec, white??
I jumped up and stared hard into the mirror. Surely this isn't happening, I groaned again. I was still having problems with my powers. After this entire ghost fighting-hero thing. Somehow in the night I had transformed back into Danny Phantom. My green eyes glowed back at me.
I concentrated and managed to turn myself back to human. Too weird, but at least I could turn back. Not like last night. Awkwardly last night after defeating the ghosts I couldn't get back to my human self. I denoted not to tell Sam or Tucker and went home giving some lame excuse.
Although I didn't think Sam bought it. She's too clever.
And a whole lot of other things.
My hand phased through the mirror I had been leaning on. Wow, Danny, pull yourself together. School today and I don't really need anymore dropping my pants cases.
After my morning rituals, including a little block of phasing in the kitchen I was out the door. Jazz was explaining the importance of self-dedication and telling me I should go to the dance. She just kept up telling me about her theories on the developing brain.
Funny, I didn't even know anything about a dance. I knew what Sam would say when she heard about it, "just another opportunity to point out the overall status of the popular and denote individuality." It was that time my arm phased out. Smiling at Jazz I ran out to catch the bus.
I tapped my hand patiently waiting for Sam to get on. She was two stops after mine. Tucker lived a little too far over to have our bus. Finally the Goth girl, burling and moody stepped onto the bus. Sam sat down beside me giving a small smile.
"How ya doin after last night?" She asked, looking me in the eye. I suddenly felt a little nauseated but kept the feeling down.
"Four hours is not enough for school," I slid my eyes shut a second.
"Hey, I did the homework, so just this once I'll let you copy. But just this once you hear?" Her voice had turned spicy in a warning tone.
"Thanks," I smiled unsubconcously and licked my lips.
"Uh if your tired sleep a little, we have 15 minutes until school." She poked at me.
With that I was out, I felt myself slide over placing my weight on Sam. I felt a little tingle as Sam's dark hair gently caressed my cheek. I ignored it as sleep permitted, I was just too comfy.
"Danny, Danny," I felt someone prod me importantly. It was Sam, hissing at me urgently. I peered my eyes open. We were at the school, still on the bus.
"Wha?" I groggily spit out. Sam pointed down at my body. Or where my body should have been.
Somehow I had phased out, this time my whole body had vanished.
"Hurry change back, no ones looking."
I concentrated and got my body to reappear. Letting out the breath I didn't know I was holding Sam and me stood up. Gathering our stuff we headed off the bus toward our first class in Casper High. Luckily no one had seen anything on the bus.
"Yo!" It was Tucker who came dashing up.
"Hey Tuck," I greeted smacking his hand.
"Man you look like death," Tucker brilliantly pointed out.
"Well duh, he's already fallen asleep and phased out today," Sam explained, she'd gone monotone again. "Which, Danny, why did you phase out, I mean Paulina doesn't ride our bus." Her amethyst eyes had turned in my direction.
I felt hazy, and that unexpected tingle in my foot. I quickly shifted feet hiding my foot I knew had just disappeared. "I don't know, probably just some sudden lapse." I shrugged it off heading into the school. Leaving confused friends behind me.
I had to get out of Sam's gaze. Her vivid deep purple eyes were too alluring.
Just as she is.
I felt the tingle again. This was not good.
Come on Danny, think, think Dash.
The tingling ceased. Leave it to the memory of Dash to set me back in my skin again.
I grabbed my books out of my locker and headed into first period. Who cares that my friends were in there as well. At least I could concentrate on keeping my powers in check in history. Nothing better to do.
Plus I wasn't eager to see Dash, not this morning.
Too bad I wasn't fast enough.
"Yo Danny, where's your girlfriend?" It was Dash and his posse, early.
"She's not my girlfriend," I hissed looking for a way to escape.
"Yea? Then why ya blushing freak?" And somehow, Dash was right.
Dash… was…right?!
I smiled sheepishly and ran. I heard the group start laughing. Paulina's high giggly noise was apparent over the others.
How can I like her?
I bumbled into history sitting in the back beside Tuck.
"I'm guessin that nervousness and blush means you've seen Paulina this morning?" Tuck stabbed at it giving me a sly smile.
"Yea, I've seen her, but ugh, I can't stand her anymore,"
"Wow you serious?" Tuck looked shocked.
"Defiantly, I'm over her."
"Over who?" Sam asked, plopping down in the seat behind me.
"Get this," Tucker turned to explain to Sam. "Danny says he's over Paulina."
"Well good, he needs to be an individual and shouldn't like a girl just because she is popular or pretty, not to mention that girl is very self-centered and annoying."
Tuck snickered and Sam shot him a death glare. I had turned back around trying to ignore the two that had started bickering.
I felt Sam's hand rest on my shoulder. Oh great, why does she have to have such a soft touch? My arm phased out as I hid it under the desk. "It was a good decision Danny, I'm glad your over her."
With that the bell ran and she removed her arm. The teacher strolled in and started our boring class lecture.
"Classes drag more than usual," Sam announced at our lunch table picking at her cabbage.
"Uh Danny?" Tuck poked at my side, I had been slowly dozing off. "You might want to be awake, Dash and groupies approaching."
My head shot up in attention. Dash would probably comment about earlier, and this time Sam was right across the table from me. There wasn't much you could hide from her.
"Guys I just remembered I have to go see a teacher, we'll work on homework at Danny's after school, bye." Sam strangely looked like she was at a rush to get away. She never forgot anything either. She looked just as panicked at Dash coming over as me.
"Hey freaks, what happened to Ms. Goth?" Dash smirked pointing to the empty seat.
"Go away," I shot back.
"Ouch, Danny here's a little sensitive his girlfriend left, awww."
"She is not my girlfriend!" I stood up yelling at him. Dash just raised an eyebrow.
"We'll see," He gave a cruel smile. That pretty much looked like foreshadowing. "How about this, you ask your girlfriend to the dance next week and I won't beat you up for two weeks."
I swallowed hard, my face already paling. Dash and his crew just laughed as he stalked away. I sat back down.
"Your dead," Tuck replied.
"How do you figure?" I asked sarcastically, except sarcasm is wasted on Tucker.
"Well, either Dash will kill you, or Sam will kill you."
I groaned putting my head back onto the table. Various limbs were disappearing under the table. How could I be at a dance, touching Sam, when I couldn't even think about her without phasing out.
"Tucker, I have something important to discuss with you," I usually didn't confide in him about serious things. Maybe that's why he shot up looking intensely at me.
"Yea what's up Danny?"
"Uh you want to skip next period to talk, because it's real personal."
"Sure, it's only gym,"
With that we grabbed our bags and headed outside walking a little ways from the school. There was a small playground there.
I sat down on a swing and Tucker sat next to me.
"So what's this all about?" He asked after a moment of silence.
"First, I need you to promise that you won't tell anyone, especially Sam."
"Um-ok but I don't-"
"Yea man, I promise, I got your back." Tuck smiled.
"Well recently my ghost powers have been going a little haywire. It started yesterday. I woke up this morning as Danny Phantom instead of Danny Fenton. I have a guess at what might be the cause but I'm not sure," Think Dash, keep thinking Dash, think ghost, just don't think Sa-
My legs phased out and I fell threw the swing. I landed hard on the ground.
"Oww," I groaned picking myself up.
"Danny you should have told us if it was this serious,"
"But that's the problem," I growled sitting back onto the swing carefully. We heard the bell ring off in the distance but neither of us made a move to leave.
"What's making you loose your control on your powers?"
"Well," I scratched my head. I tightened my grip on the swing, just in case. "I think its Sam."
On key my arms became invisible and I fell backwards. Tuck found this amusing and decided to start laughing.
"Tuck not funny!" I shouted brushing off the mulch when I regained my arms.
"Of course it is! I mean look if you get this way at the mention of her name, how are you going to deal asking her to a dance?" He found this amusing beyond anything and fell onto the ground howling.
"You're not helping," I growled.
"Ok, ok, just a few tests to see if that actually is what's going on."
"Fine," I mumbled still sitting on the ground.
"We'll start with an easy one, what do you have to think about to get back under control?"
"Makes sense," Tuck pulled out his Palm Pilot and started taking notes.
"Now visualize what I say ok?" I nodded my head and closed my eyes. "Think about Sam in Vlad's arms about to be crushed to her death."
I felt a tingle through my body, and I opened my eyes. I was Danny Phantom.
"Uh huh," Tuck mumbled, crazily writing on the device. "Change back and we'll try another visual." I groaned and regained my black hair and blue eyes.
"Visualize Sam dressed in that black dress of hers," I felt my face heat up and I heard Tuck start to laugh. "Man your invisible."
True enough, I concentrated and changed back. This wasn't heading anywhere good.
"Bad news, you've defiantly got something for her man." Tuck came over to pat me on the back.
"That's just great," I yelled out angrily. I was pacing.
"Look you need some time, go home, I'll tell your teachers you got sick. We'll meet you for homework later."
"Uh ok, thanks Tuck. Your not such a bad person to talk stuff out with,"
"No prob, hey what do you mean?" Tuck had caught on after as moment. I chuckled.
"Well I just guessed you'd be as good at this kind of stuff as you are with the thermos," I smiled slyly.
"Oh ha ha Danny, I'll see you and your sarcasm later," Tuck started back toward the school.
"Remember Tuck,"
"Yea yea, no word to your girlfriend," Tuck ran off laughing before I could tackle him down.
With a Cheshire smile on my face I headed home. At least something interesting was happening.
A/N And there ya go. It's my first fanfic ever, so go easy! It's going to switch over between Danny and Sam p.o.v. I want to slowly mix in some romance so don't hurt me that this chapter wasn't fluffy enough. But let me know if I should continue! I might start another story in reg p.o.v.?

According to the Miami New Times, yesterday's "Be Out Day" event that was put together by Rick Ross Charities was dramatically ended and interrupted by gunshots. No injuries were reported but local police did confirm the shooting and apparently have one person in custody with another still on the loose. Seriously, Rick can't seem to catch a break as of recent. It really seems like someone just wants to see this brother go down. We still got much love for Ricky, especially for trying to put something together for the children of Carol City.
UPDATE: Jonathan Cunningham, Music Editor over at the New Times, reports the facts on what exactly happened. Click here to read his entire story and recap of yesterday's events, including the fact that despite the drama, the event's missions to deliver school supplies to kids, free HIV testing, thousands of meals to the needy and get people registered to vote were all a success.

Question about Kenmore Elite 45986 Front Load Washer
My washer is showing the code F32
Posted by sabenson06 on
The F32 error code is a pressure switch failure error code, this error could be caused by several different reasons.
More than likely the pressure switch has malfunctioned. Be sure you are using H.E.(high efficiency)detergent. Select STOP twice to cancel the cycle. Select DRAIN & SPIN if there is excessive water in the washer. Re-select cycle and press START. If the problem remains you will need to call for service. This type of repair will require accessing the inside of the cabinet area to make some checks. This will require a service technician to diagnose & repair.

Best Practices
San José State University
San José State's Peer Health Educators (PHE) program, specializing in Alcohol, Marijuana, and Other Drugs, continues to be a strong force in providing alcohol education across campus. The PHE program currently has 35 students who are nationally certified as Peer Educators. PHEs lead workshops and educational events for students throughout campus, reaching an average of 11,000 students a year.
Another successful aspect of SJSU's alcohol education is the collaboration between the Student Health Center, Counseling Services, and the Office of Student Conduct and Ethical Development. These three departments have partnered to provide a thorough and comprehensive Alcohol Sanctions class for students in violation of the campus alcohol policy. This two-hour class is taught jointly by a counselor and a Wellness and Health Promotion Coordinator. Students leave the class knowing the signs of alcohol poisoning, what a standard drink size is, how to calculate BAC, protective strategies, and resources for sexual assault.

Ratings for Dr. Jose L. Rodriguez
Dr. Rodriguez changed my life! Neurosurgery in October 2015 ended the chronic pain I had been living with for many years. I have great confidence in his surgical skill. He's easy to talk with, kind & caring - he didn't rush into suggesting surgery before proper diagnostic testing. It's evident he's someone who truly CARES ! He performed surgery on my mother many years ago, and I remembered his caring attitude toward her; that's why I decided to see him myself when I needed a neurosurgeon! He's a wonderful Doctor!
Dr. Rodriguez is a wonderful doctor. Smart and kind. Neurosurgery is very frightening, yet he puts you at ease. His office staff is professional while still being very caring. I highly recommend Dr. Rodriguez.
Dr. Rodriguez diagnosed a herniated disc in my back. I have had pain in the back and buttocks, but he felt I should wait a while to have surgery to see if I get better without surgery. I have made improvements after a number of months, but I think I will ultimately need the surgery. The take home message is that he did not just recommend surgery. I trust his decision and recommendations unlike other doctors who may firmly suggest surgery as the only option. He's a very nice man and I trust him.
Best Doctor His work is so precise and accurate. He is a perfectionist which is why I have never needed back surgery again. I will always be so incredibly grateful for him. I had not walked for a month before the surgery and the next day after the back surgery I was up walking. This was years ago and have never needed surgery again and my back is doing very well.My biggest thanks for the Doctor that saved me.
One of the worst MD I've ever had the displeasure of encountering. This MD couldn't come up with a diagnosis for my grandmother for more than a week, and after I got the diagnosis from the RADIOLOGIST, I asked him about some of our options as far as letting her go (she's 84 y.o). He simply shrugged us off, and said "we'll go day by day." He would not communicate with us (family members) throughout our entire stay at the ICU, and when we would ask questions, he became very irritated and told us he has to see other patients. We were so unhappy with him, he decided to move our grandmother to UCLA where they told us that she had been misdianosed. They knew this within 24 hours when she arrived at UCLA, and we're considering different treatment. Please avoid this "doctor" at all cost, and oh, we've already consulted with a malpractice attorney, and he told us we have a strong case against this clown.
Awesome Doctor he was very informative and helped me a lot. Another plus even though I have a back injury he was not surgery happy.
