Americans Remain Confused About Obamacare
Lack of Information Threatens Success of Insurance Exchanges
With only a month remaining before the Obamacare insurance exchanges open for business, the administration has a long way to go to correct mass confusion about the law.
A poll conducted in mid-August by the Kaiser Family Foundation revealed that about half of the respondents said they don't understand how the law will impact their families. But the poll results contain even worse news for the administration.
"Despite saying they've heard about the law from various sources, confusion remains, with more than four in ten saying that the law has been repealed or overturned, or being unsure whether it remains the law of the land," the poll found.
Health and Human Services is spending millions on advertising and public relations to sign up Americans during the six-month Obamacare open enrollment period that begins October 1.
The poll found that the public's most trusted sources of information on the law are not necessarily the ones people are most likely to hear from.
"The public is most likely to say that they trust healthcare professionals like doctors, nurses, and pharmacists, as well as federal and state health agencies when it comes to information about the law," the poll found." Young adults, a key target of outreach efforts, are particularly likely to say they trust official sources of information like state and federal agencies."
By contrast, the most common places where people say they've actually heard about the law are from the news media, family, and friends. A third of the public now says they've heard "a lot" or "some" about the health insurance marketplace in their state, up from 22 percent in June.
The poll found that 62 percent of the uninsured say they don't have enough information about the law. This is the key audience for Obamacare.
Overall, the poll revealed that about 42 percent of Americans hold an unfavorable opinion of Obamacare and 37 percent have a favorable view. In spite of this opposition, a majority of poll respondents said they disapprove of cutting off funding as a way to stop the law's implementation.
Meanwhile, the administration continues to miss deadlines established to implement Obamacare. Just this week, officials said they would delay signing contracts with insurance companies scheduled to provide insurance policies on the federal exchanges.
At the same time, thousands of so-called "navigators" have been hired to sign up Obamacare enrollees through community organizations, healthcare agencies, and universities.
The administration is running out of time. As long as public confusion about the law remains widespread, the Obamacare launch is doomed.

Mediclaim portability started in October 2011. While the response has been lukewarm, there are early trends that poaching of young and healthy customers will be the strategy. Who is winning on that score?
As expected, despite newspaper advertisements from the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) extolling the ease and benefits of mediclaim portability, the insured are not biting the bait so far. Private insurance companies, who have the most to gain, have got less than 100 proposals each. Insurers are targeting the young and healthy segment and are using their 'right to underwrite' to refuse old and unhealthy customers.
Moneylife investigation shows that the frontrunner in portability race is Apollo Munich. According to one private insurer, "Out of the total requests for policyholder medical and claim history, 90% are from Apollo Munich, which is surprising."
The same sentiment is shared by one government-owned insurer. According to it, "Apollo Munich is targeting our young customer segment. They are working through agents who work for both the insurance companies."
According to another private insurer, "We have a few customer requests trying to go out from our company; many are going to Max Bupa." Moneylife has found that Star Health has also received good number of portability proposals. Only a few of Max Bupa's customers are trying to go out when compared to the decent number of portability requests to join this company.
The question is why are standalone health insurers gaining? IRDA allows general insurance agents to also work for one standalone insurer. It means these agents are now diverting business from a general insurer to a standalone insurer. What could be the reason for agents to deflect the business? The commissions are same for renewal or new business; is there some other incentive offered by the standalone insurers? We don't know. It could also be ex-agents of the insurance company who have details of clients and are using it for luring them with the portability bait.
It has also to do with company strategy to gain business from portability. Apollo Munich homepage has a link at the top to a portability guide, portability form, application form, etc. It has free portability reminder link on the homepage. Apollo Munich will send you a reminder email 60 days before your renewal along with a helpful guide on portability. In short, the company has taken proactive steps to gain from portability, which is a smart business strategy.
This nudge in business comes at a time when bancassurance exposure draft from IRDA brings cheer to standalone insurance companies. At present, one bank can sell products of any one insurer in the life and non-life segments. The draft allows one bank to tie up with one life, one non-life and one standalone health insurance company. This is a paradigm shift for standalone health insurers like Max Bupa, Apollo Munich and Star Health.
Interestingly, Moneylife has found some murmurs among private insurers about delays in getting medical and claim history from government-owned insurance companies. Some are saying it is just few days delay, instead of seven days it is taking 10-12 days. Others are saying that it is taking some about of follow-up to ensure government insurers are giving the information in timely manner. One insurer points out that it is taking longer than expected and they are handling it behind-the-scenes by talking with IRDA.
The volume of portability requests is low and hence the issues related to getting information from existing insurance companies have not reached a level of alarm. Once portability requests grow, it will be interesting to see if the delay in getting information from existing insurers leads to chaos. You can bet on it.
Some insurers have been tight-lipped about portability and did not want to divulge anything to Moneylife.
According to Fali Poncha, insurance industry veteran and executive chairman, IRICS Insurance Broking, "Despite best intentions on the past of the IRDA and a long journey of over a year, portability is likely to be more illusory than a reality. The need for portability is very real and IRDA's recognition of the same is a step in the right direction. The real hurdle to making portability a success lies in the fact that the terms and conditions relating to pre-existing diseases (PED) and time-bound exclusions are not common to all insurers."
Be prepared for a bumpy portability ride. It will work for simple and straightforward cases especially for young with no PED. For others, it is just an illusory offer from IRDA.

Beware your smartphone may have some app installed in it, which might be sending your personal information to some unknown person
As technology goes to a new high, the perennial issue of privacy gets murkier. Even a small device like mobile phone could put you at risk. These ubiquitous cellphones could keep us under constant surveillance. According to a report from ConsumerAffairs.com, recently, Democratic US Senator for Minnesota, Al Franken, ordered an investigation into mobile software maker Carrier IQ after it was learnt that the company tracks and transmits personal information of the phone user- iPhones and Androids, without their knowing about it, through installed software. The company officially denied the charge.
Critics point out that given humongous sales of smartphones in India, and the weak surveillance systems in the country, Indian might also be at the risk of being monitored by some unauthorised people.
According to the report, "AT&T, Sprint, HTC, and Samsung have all confirmed that that their mobile phones integrate the Carrier IQ software."
Back in India, an expert say that, for years now, during the confidential meetings in the US and the Europe, the attendees were asked to deposit their mobile phones outside, and it is a fact that people can listen to conversations in and around your mobile phone if they so desire, same is increasingly happening in India.
The software encrypts all sensitive data of the users, without informing them, including the location of the user, call records, letters typed while texting or browsing. All these personal data is then eventually sent back to the companies.
"Within the Indian context, where privacy is still not considered sacred, there is no dearth of providers who will do this for you for a fee," says Veeresh Malik, veteran seaman and columnist of Moneylife. He explains, "As far as new generation smart phones are concerned, many of them happily hook in and exchange hand-shakes or even more with the nearest wireless network on continuous basis, even if the internet access is switched off."
Sahil Baghla, president, Anti-Hacking Welfare Society, India, told Moneylife that, "Currently there are hackers, who can steal personal data from these smartphones. If this trend continues then in coming years, nothing will be secure. All the personal details, e-mails, phone banking will monitored by these foreign companies. There is an urgent need to strengthen our cyber security laws and surveillance system."
In its recent exposure, WikiLeaks released documents showing that two Indian companies, Delhi based Shoghi, which monitors GSM communications and SMS keyword spotting and Indore-based Cleartrail Technologies which provides interception, analytic solution, and mass monitoring of IP among others. It tracks all the information of the people.
What could be the Solution for all this? Mr Malik believes that there is a great future for face to face meetings again, it seems, or manual typewriters. "Even photocopiers, printers and printer cartridges leave secret marks on paper so that they can be traced back to the printer or copier used, and since most printers or copiers are internet enabled devices now, through a variety of devices, it is easy to track back what was printed or photocopies back," he said.
According to Yogesh Sapkale, deputy editor, Moneylife, 'precaution' is the keyword while dealing with security threats everywhere, be it smartphone or internet. He says, "Smartphone user need to be cautious and continuously monitor applications that are sending and receiving data in the background. In case of suspicion, either close that application or uninstall it. In addition, do not install apps received from unknown source or vendor."
Nifty to move in the range of 4,970 and 5,170
The government's flip-flop over FDI in multi-brand retail led the market down, snapping its three-day winning streak. In our Friday's closing report we had mentioned that the Nifty should maintain itself above the day's high to reach to the level of 5,170, else it may fall to 4,900. Today, the index almost reached Friday's high of 5,063 but couldn't maintain the momentum. From here we may see the benchmark moving between 4,970 and 5,170. The National Stock Exchange (NSE) saw a volume of 49.78 crore shares being trade, the lowest in the last 18 days (including today). The upmove will be staggered and the market may reverse anytime.
The market opened lower this morning on speculations that the government has put the proposed 51% foreign direct investment (FDI) in multi-brand retail on hold. Profit booking was seen after the benchmarks logged 7% gains last week. The Nifty opened 13 points down at 5,037 and the Sensex resumed trade at 16,812, a loss of 35 points over its previous close.
Metal, banking, oil & gas and retail stocks witnessed selling pressure amid volatile trade, keeping the indices in the negative terrain. The announcement by finance minister Pranab Mukherjee to keep FDI in multi-brand retail on hold pushed the market to the day's low in late morning trade with the Nifty falling to 5,003 and the Sensex going back to 16,691.
But buying in select stocks pushed the indices into the green in noon trade helping the market hit the day's high. At the highs, the Nifty touched 5,055 and the Sensex rose to 16,863. However, the gains were short-lived as the market fell again.
Choppy trade continued till the end of the session, with the market settling in the red, ending its three-day winning streak. At close of trade, the Nifty fell by 11 points to 5,039 and the Sensex settled at 16,805, down 42 points.
The advance-decline ratio on the NSE was almost equal at 834:828.
The broader indices, too, settled flat, but with a mixed bias. The BSE Mid-cap index shed .05% while the BSE Small-cap index rose 0.09%.
The top sectoral gainers were BSE Power (up 0.86%); BSE Capital Goods (up 0.77%); BSE PSU (up 0.24%) while the noteworthy losers were BSE Metal (down0.90%); BSE Capital Goods (down 0.75%) and BSE Fast Moving Consumer Goods (down 0.67%).
The key Sensex gainers were NTPC (up 2.50%); Jaiprakash Associates (2.45%); BHEL (up 1.96%); State Bank of India (up 1.17%) and Hindalco Industries (up 0.70%). The laggards were led by Tata Steel (down 1.73%); Sun Pharma (down 1.53%); Sterlite Industries (down 1.46%); Hero MotoCorp and ITC (down 0.99%).
JP Associates (up 2.60%); Axis Bank (up 2.52%); NTPC (up 2%); BHEL (up 1.95%) and PNB (up 1.70%) were the top performers on the Nifty today. HCL Technologies (down 2.46%); SAIL (down 2.41%); Reliance Power (down 2.38%); Tata Steel (down 2.18%) and Sterlite Ind (down 1.55%) ended at the bottom of the index.
Markets in Asia settled mostly higher on hopes of a resolution to the Eurozone debt crisis as European leaders meet this week to chalk out a rescue plan. Besides, the Italian government clearing a 30 billion euro austerity plan supported investor sentiment. However, the Chinese market fell on a decline in the country's services sector. The HSBC Purchase Managers' Index fell to 52.5 in November from 54.1 in the previous month, indicating a further slowdown in the economy.
The Hang Seng surged 0.73%; the Jakarta Composite added 0.03%; the KLSE Composite gained 0.06%; the Nikkei 225 rose 0.60% and the Seoul Composite advanced 0.36%. On the other hand, the Shanghai Composite declined 1.16%; the Straits Times fell 0.26% and the Taiwan Weighted lost 0.60%.
Back home, foreign institutional investors were net buyers of stocks totalling Rs596.89 crore on Friday but domestic institutional investors ended up selling equities worth Rs107.53 crore.
Gitanjali Gems' wholly-owned subsidiary Aston Luxury Group has acquired 100% stake in Crown Aim, a Hong Kong-based company engaged in jewellery distribution to China, Japan, US, Middle East and Europe. Gitanjali Gems added 0.35% to close at Rs340.95 on the NSE.
HT Media (HTML) today said it has entered into an agreement for an equal joint venture (JV) with US-based Apollo Global Inc to roll out programmes and services in the education space. The JV will enable India's business community to train and empower employees for a 21st century global workplace, it added. The stock gained 0.93% to settle at Rs124.75 on the NSE.
Pipe manufacturer Man Industries (India) has received orders totalling Rs515 crore from overseas clients for supply of large diametre pipes for the oil and gas sector. With the new orders, the company's order book stands at Rs1,500 crore. The orders are to be executed in next nine to 12 months. The stock surged .25% to settle at Rs115.90 on the NSE.

Spring Programme
10th January
Director: Taika Waititi
New Zealand 2016 101 mins
Starring: Sam Neill, Julian Dennison, Rima Te Wiata
Ricky is a defiant young city kid who finds himself on the run with his cantankerous foster uncle in the wild New Zealand bush. A national manhunt ensues, and the two are forced to put aside their differences and work together to survive. Filmed in the majestic New Zealand countryside, this is one of the funniest and most delightfully oddball films of the year. Hunt for the Wilderpeople is a pleasure from beginning to end. A big-hearted picture full of small, understated moments of magic, an off-kilter charmer.
John Ingledew
17th January
Director: Ken Loach
UK 2016 100 mins
Starring: Dave Johns, Hayley Squires, Dylan McKiernan
Winner of the Palm d'Or, described by the Telegraph as a quietly fearsome piece of drama. Half a century on from Cathy Come Home, Loach has made what is arguably his finest film since then. Showing how Daniel living in Newcastle-on-Tyne struggles with the almost Kafkaesque bureaucracy of modern Britain's Department for Work and Pensions, the film focuses on his determined, even obstinate, attempts to avoid poverty and potential homelessness whilst retaining his humanity intact, namely self-respect, dignity and kindness to others. A very moving and important film showing what life is like for many in 21st century Britain.
Roger Day
24th January
Director: Ron Howard
UK 2016 137 mins
Starring: The Beatles
Is there really anything more to say about the Beatles? Yes, there is, in a film that includes interviews with McCartney and Starr, archive material with Harrison and Lennon, and intriguing conversations with present-day fans such as Elvis Costello and Whoopi Goldberg. You will be treated to a giant public spectacle, the theatre of arriving at airports, hotels, posing for photographs, and best of all, talking to journalists. There is a lot of simple, moment-by-moment pleasure to be had. The scream was an important part of it; be prepared to go back in time to why they became such a legend.
Margaret Bryant
7th February
Director: David Mackenzie
USA 2016 102 mins
Starring: Ben Foster, Chris Pine, Jeff Bridges
Hell or High Water is a heist thriller with a satirical edge about a divorced father and his volatile and trigger happy brother. They come together after years apart to rob branches of the bank threatening to foreclose on their family's ranch. For them, the hold-ups are just part of a last-ditch scheme, until they find themselves pursued by the Texas Ranger and his half-Comanche partner. This is a deceptively simple tale of Texan cops and robbers where the humour is as dry as the landscapes and all the characters appearing strangely fatalistic.
Clive Dorling
21st February
Director: Céline Sciamma
France 2014 113 mins (subtitles)
Starring: Karidja Touré, Assa Sylla, Lindsay Karamoh
Oppressed by her family setting and dead-end school prospects in the housing projects of Paris, Marieme changes her life after joining a gang of free-spirited girls. She changes her name, her dress code, and quits school and gains a sense of self confidence in the process but she soon finds that this new life does not necessarily make her any happier. While the movie has a lot to say about the general condition of being a girl, in the Paris banlieues and elsewhere, it never loses sight of the specific girl at its heart. The result is honest, empowering and electrifying.
Sue Weber
7th March
Director: Naomi Kawase
Japan 2015 113 mins (subtitles)
Starring: Kirin Kiki, Masatoshi Nagasi
Winner of five international awards, this film was chosen to open Un Certain Regard at Cannes, in 2015. It is a charming and masterfully told story of a bakery proprietor who reluctantly accepts an old lady's offer to help make the bean paste for his traditional pancakes. She makes the paste by hand despite her crippled fingers and sales improve dramatically. However they both have hidden problems which they have to work out together. This is a delicately handled and moving story that is touching, but not sentimental, under Director Kawase's skilful use of pace and cinematic detail.
Charles Slater
14th March
Director: Radu Jude
Romania 2015 108 mins (subtitles, black & white)
Starring: Teodor Corban, Mihai Comanoiu, Toma Cuzin
Set in Romania in 1835, Aferim! (bravo in Turkish) depicts the life of the region and notably Gypsy slavery. Constantin and his inept son are hired by a nobleman to hunt down an escaped Roma slave. The film reflects the prevailing attitudes of the time: Constantin treats priests and nobles with great respect but peasants and Roma with indifferent cruelty; sometimes he shows a conscience but at others he is shockingly ruthless; some scenes are compelling, humorous and ironic while others are harrowing and violent. This is the first portrayal of Romanian slavery, which was not abolished until 1856 – groundbreaking and controversial.
Ailsa Cuttell
21st March
Director: Cédric Klapisch
France 2013 117 mins (subtitles)
Starring: Romain Duris, Audrey Tautou, Cécile De France
Writer Xavier can't bear the idea of his two children growing up in Chinatown, New York, to where his ex-wife has moved, so he too moves there. Battling with the American Green Card system is far from his only problem as also there are his divorced ex-girlfriend with her two children and also his lesbian best friend and her half-Chinese partner (who wish him to be the biological father of a baby). Director Klapisch is well supported by a brilliant cast and expertly weaves together all the story strands for a superb finale. The film is warm, funny and an imaginative delight.
Charles Slater
28th March
Director: Matt Ross
USA 2016 118 mins
Starring: Viggo Mortensen, George McKay, Samantha Isler
This official Sundance and Festival De Cannes selection is a quirky magical film about an unconventional modern family. Viggo Mortensen is simply amazing in this patriarch role as a devoted father in which the whole family is forced into an unspeakable predicament. The family have to leave the Pacific Northwest and their off-the-grid lifestyle and go on an existential journey into the real world. Going along on this dramatic ride is the marvellous Samantha Isler and Frank Langella. Along with the ensemble five star cast, Mortensen makes this one of the best films for 2016. A must see for this season.
Simon Goodman
4th April
Director: Pedro Almodóvar
Spain 2016 99 mins (subtitles)
Starring: Emma Suárez, Adriana Ugarte, Daniel Grao
Pedro Almodóvar is arguably one of the most internationally acclaimed Spanish filmmakers since Luis Buñuel and his 2016 film Julieta is outstanding. Staring Emma Suárez and Adriana Ugarte, mother and daughter both live together in Madrid and both share the loss of Xoan, Antia's father and Julieta's husband. This is a story of intrigue, loss and romance. Their lives must go on and Almodóvar's storytelling style and technique is supremely excellent. A superb film based on the stories by Nobel Prize winner Alice Munro. Julieta gets the big thumbs up from the Devizes Film Club.

The inspiration for Catherine's work comes from the textural qualities she sees in landscapes, particularly those in the Cornish coastline. It is the effect that the sea has on the landscape, the erosive strength that it holds but also the special colour and light of the sea and sky that Cornwall is noted for that Catherine is especially interested in depicting.
Catherine's prints are usually made by the etching process or the carborundum process. Etching involves scratching into a metal plate often made of copper, done deeply this creates a more textural surface than the fine line that is normally associated with etching as the acid that the plate is then immersed in is more able to eat away at the metal. She combines this technique with that of aquatint which creates more subtle tones and a finer texture. About 3 or 4 plates are treated in this way each with different images and colour on them which are all printed on top of each other on paper.
Carborundum on the other hand uses the aluminium plate to build upon rather than build into. Acrylic paste and carborundum grit is applied to the plate which builds up a very densely and defined image. This is then inked up, put through the printing press, which exerts a great deal of pressure onto the paper underneath it to create both a colourful and embossed final image. "Calm" and the new series of Tide prints are examples of this process.

TI Partners On Real-Time DSP Debugging Tool
Semiconductor giant Texas Instruments Inc. has partnered with EWA Blackhawk to produce a non-intrusive, real-time debugging tool for digital signal processing systems, TI reported Monday. According to company sources, the hardware-based module, known as XDS560 Trace, offers advanced capabilities for troubleshooting real-time, high-performance embedded applications. It also helps fine tune code performance and cache optimization of complex multi-channel applications. Blackhawk, a division of EWA, developed the module's XDS560 high-speed USB emulator, while TI designed the Trace component and its high-density, 60-pin header connector. Headquartered in Dallas, Texas Instruments has manufacturing, design or sales operations in more than 25 countries.

Riley is sitting back on the couch watching some bareback porn and jerking his cock. His blond buddy Landon walks and catches him. He stands in the doorway and watches for a couple of minutes before approaching the couch. There's nothing like the real thing, so Landon leans in and plants a kiss on his friend.
When Riley throws his legs in the air, it's pretty clear what he wants. Landon mounts the boy and slides his hard, uncut cock into Riley's hungry hole. And the bottom must be pretty horny because Landon's dick doesn't have to fight too hard to get deep inside.
The guys bareback fuck in a number of positions, but end up where they started with Riley on his back. Landon wraps his fist around Riley's foreskin stiffy and jacks him off. Riley's meat soon explodes and he shoots jizz in Landon's hand. The blond uses his buddy's spunk as lube and stuffs his cum-covered cock back inside the boy's ass. After a couple minutes, Landon can't help it and pulls out and nuts all over Riley's butt hole and balls.

I wondered the same thing. If so, to me, the first one executes it the best. The hand looks to be that of a young person's, and the guy being punched looks like he'd drive that sort of truck. Whether it's meant to be or not, I still feel as though there's something more to be desired from this campaign. Nice photography and retouching tho.

What Does the USA Have to Do with the Quantum of the Seas?
There came a point during the inaugural festivities aboard the Royal Caribbean's Quantum of the Seas last night when I couldn't help laughing.
The cruise line portrayed a gigantic (digital) American flag on the cruise ship's massive screens. The crowd of travel agents, cruise bloggers, quasi-celebrities and Bon Jovi tribute band went wild.
The Royal Caribbean PR feed began releasing carefully posed photo-shopped images of the Quantum sailing next to the Statute of Liberty. The frenzied cruise fans and make-believe journalists began posting comments on Twitter like "iconic," epic" and "goosebumps."
Then one of my "Twitter friends" tweeted #USA #cruise and posted a photograph of old glory.
What on earth does the USA have to do with the Quantum?
The ship was built in Germany. Royal Caribbean is incorporated in Liberia (think civil wars & Ebola) to avoid U.S. taxes. The Liberian corporation registered the ship in Bahamas (think corruption and crime) to avoid U.S. safety laws and labor regulations. After a few months, the ship will be home-ported in Shanghai, China (try not to think of human rights violations). The crew members are over 95% from the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Eastern Europe and South and Central American.
About the only connection to the USA is that's where the cruise CEO's live in their waterfront Miami mansions.
Have a thought? Please leave a comment below or join the discussion on our Facebook page.

Tuesday, March 9, 2010
No publicity's bad publicity, right? Right. Unless you're Kevin Smith. On a February 13, Southwest Airlines flight home from Oakland to Burbank, the writer/director had his flight status upgraded from just-another-irritable-customer to a full-blown "safety concern." Flabbergasted, Smith was removed from the plane. And in response, from the cockpit of his Twitter account, he waged war on his would-be accusers.
"I've had much of my humanity stripped away over the last week, as people discuss me as a concept more than a person."
The story goes: Smith buys two seats for both February 13 flights. On his way home to Burbank, he gets to the airport early and catches a standby flight. But the new return flight doesn't have two available seats next to each other. Still, Smith is offered a seat on the flight, checked in, boarded and allowed to stow his bag. But then..
According to Smith, he got into the seat just fine - no seat belt extender necessary; both arm rests down no problem. And the reason he usually buys two seats? He's anti-social (but not anti-social networking). And, again according to Smith, neither of the passengers on either side of him complained about his size. Still, soon after he sat down, a flight attendant came over and told Smith he was going to have to leave the plane. He was too fat for one seat. A super-sized safety concern. Or what Southwest Airlines like to refer to as a, "customer of size." What size?
"I'm way fat but I'm not there just yet. So if you look like me, you may be ejected from Southwest Air."
Smith didn't waste any time firing off hundreds of anti-Southwest Tweets, uploading shitloads of YouTube videos (SModcast.com) and telling anyone that would listen what, exactly, is wrong with Southwest Airlines.
In response, Southwest offered Smith an apology on their blog, Nuts About Southwest, sarcastically titled, 'Not So Silent Bob.' But Smith wasn't happy. On his website, My Boring Ass Life, Smith accused Southwest of lying, covering up information, not being able to own up to their mistakes and of publishing his travel preferences without his permission.
"Fuck your apologetic $100 voucher"
Opinions are divided: from shame-on-you-Southwest-Airlines-you-corporate-assholes, to "Salad, meet-Kevin-Smith. Kevin-Smith, meet-salad." Writing for Chicago's Sun-Times, Laura Washington called Smith an obscure star looking for a bit of free publicity for his new movie, Cop Out: "I had never heard of the guy. I suspect I am not alone (his obscurity is probably one motive behind his headline-hungry rants)." Now that's pushing it. Kevin Smith may have flopped lately but how can you call yourself a worthwhile member of the 21st Century and not have seen classics like Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy and Dogma? That's just embarrassing.
Smith's response: "Free Publicity = 200 new articles declaring I'm fat. Yay me. Epic win" (Twitter).
Sure, nobody wants an obese stranger spilling over into their seat. But it's a short flight from Oakland to Burbank and besides, I've flown with dudes bigger than Kevin Smith before. Smith's problem is he whines too much anyway. Like, just look how long his response is on his website. Who's going to read all that? It doesn't matter who's wrong or right, that's just irritating. And why does he have to upload 24 videos on YouTube? Why did he appear in Daredevil? Why can't he make a decent movie anymore?
To me, it sounds like the kind of thing that happens all the time. Shit, it probably even gets Tweeted about, blogged on and YouTubed over all the time. Only by nerds without 1.6 million dedicated subscribers - that's why Southwest didn't write you an apology blog...
"Someone sent me a piece from the Forbes website that said, with this whole Southwest Air thing, I've hurt my own brand more than theirs. So a number-cruncher at Forbes sees me as a brand, not a human being. Dude's obviously angling for a job at Southwest" - Kevin Smith.

TED Talks
Known throughout the architecture community for his award-winning tenure as editor-in-chief of Architecture magazine, Reed Kroloff came into the spotlight after Hurricane Katrina. As Dean of Architecture at Tulane University, he was responsible for bringing back 97% of the school's student body and 100% of its faculty after the disaster. He was appointed to the Bring New Orleans Back Commission by New Orleans mayor Ray Nagin in 2005 in order to assist in the reconstruction of the city and to help avoid creating "a bad cartoon version of what New Orleans actually is." Kroloff continues to promote excellence in urban design through his writing and his consulting firm Jones Kroloff. In this TEDTalk, he gives us a new lens for judging new architecture: is it modern, or is it romantic? He provides glorious images from two leading practices and a blistering crique of the 9/11 planning process.

Wiz Khalifa: My hoverboard arrest was unjust
Wiz Khalifa is upset about being roughed up by the cops at Los Angeles International Airport over the weekend.
The 27-year-old was passing through Los Angeles International Airport Saturday, but his travels were marred by a confrontation with police.
Wiz was riding his hoverboard at the airport and when he refused to get off the apparatus at cops' request, next thing he knew the Black and Yellow rapper found himself face down on the ground.
"I was riding this [hoverboard] thing -- there's no rule against it -- and these motherf**kers came up on me, slammed me off of it, f**king hurt my knee and sh*t, so as soon as they make a law that we're gonna stop riding them, but six months from now when all the rich people are riding them they ain't gonna say sh*t," the hip hop star told X17 Online. "But they slammed me off of mine and f**king arrested me and ended up letting me go anyway."
When asked if he is interested in putting forth a lawsuit against the officers for excessive force, Wiz made it clear that's not yet crossed his mind.
"It's too early for all that, I'm just pissed," he noted.
Wiz thinks the whole situation could have been handled differently.
The star doesn't believe he should've been treated like a criminal for gliding around on a hoverboard.
"I didn't do nothing, anyway," Wiz said. "What you want to do? Put me in jail because I didn't listen to what you say?"

Right from getting a quote from Matt he was the only choice. The detail he gave when pricing up the job was first rate. He answered all questions I had and offered great advice throughout the quote and the job itself. Weather hampered the job but he still turned up and patiently waited in the van until the rain cleared. Great communication when he was unable to turn up due to persistant rain and gales blowing. I advise all users to use Matt. The cheapest quote and excellent workmanship. Thanks Matt .
Very impressed with work - finally I got someone who was able to diagnose & fix long-standing problem with overflow. Would definitely recommend!!

I am native Moscowite.
I've never worked as a nanny before, but I've helped my older sister with her child. I traveled with my nephew alone to the seaside when he was 5 years old. And now when he is a teenager I help him with his homework. I am good at science since I graduated MSTU named by Bauman in 2008. I also hope that my English is strong enough to meet your needs.
I'd like to be a nanny for a school child. To bring the child from school, to take the child home or study group. To help him or her with their homework.
I own a car. My driving experience is 7 years.

2004 Chevrolet Astro Questions
Get answers to questions about your 2004 Chevrolet Astro at RepairPal. Find solutions, diagnose problems and get back on the road.Refine by vehicle
My door locks operate erratically on thier own when I'm driving. They seem to get really active when I accelerate quickly. I replaced the BCM but that only cured other problems, like the dash cluster going dead and coming back on, the theft deterrent light coming on and beeping this sickly beep, then going off, and the automatic head light now comes on when I start up. I just noticed that the pass. side lock actuator must be going bad because the remote doesn't cause it to lock or unlock that door. I'm going to replace it, but I don't think it will solve the gremlin havin a party with the power locks.
I've noticed the clutch stops running during the time when the system is still on and blowing (even though the blower high setting is dead). The next day it's deja vue. It blows cold until the system has been on for a while, then the clutch stops running and blows hot until the next day.
I just replaced the head control panel,no change.
turn signal and flashers do not work
just had front and rear brakes done everything seems to be working but cant get lights on dash to go out are these sensor problems?
i just replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter and air filter on my 2004 chevy astro van. also i cleaned the Mass Air Flow Semsor on my van and im still having problems with it boggin down. i would rather not have to take it to the shop as i enjoy doign it myself and saving money at the same time. im kinda lost now though. i have no idea as to what to look at next. help
light commes on most of the time sometimes will go 1 day with light of cars stops normally no sound heard from pump
ABS light comes on intermittently was told that it needs replacing at a cost of $1300.00 is there an alternative fix for this.
I replaced the steering column last week. After I was done I saw the wheel was about 90 degrees off.(1/4 turn). I could understand half turn off but this one puzzles me. What is the best way to adjust this to get it straight again? Should I re-align it by the tee rods? or is there a better way?
i recently replaced my safety neutral switch i worked for a couple of days and i ncould only start the van in neutral i bought it back to the shop but the mechanic does not seem to know what to do i bough it to another transmission specialist but i am having the same problem
I just finished replacing the whole steering column in my van. When I try to start it, it cranks like it wants to start but then it won't. The digital odometer turns to all zeros when this happens.Also the airbag flashes. The security light flashes also. When the column came in it did not have the airbag in it. I put my old one in myself after I completed the column replacement.This doesn't have a chip in the ignition so I don't think it needs to be re-programed. The exact same thing happened when I tried to start it before I installed the airbag.

OSAKA, May 29 (Kyodo) — Omron Corp., an industrial automation equipment maker, said Tuesday it will start selling in June power-saving solutions for precision machinery factories challenged by airborne dust and other problems, based on techniques employed at one of its factories.
The company will offer software that provides a simple screen presentation of energy consumption data easy for regular plant workers who are not power-saving experts to understand. It prompts actions when it detects room for improvement, the company said.
The software is estimated to sell for around 1 million yen. It also needs a network server, priced at around 200,000 yen, for storing data derived from sensors, sold separately.
