Dev - Sort these by name
Posted on April 30, 2008 at 15:18
Hi all.
I haven't been active here in years...
Well, at least not since my last blog :P
As you may notice, I have deleted all my blogs and most of my files, and started afresh.
So here it is, all clean and new.
As for my games, they have all been dropped, apart from one. Zombie. Believe it or not, it has been a WIP for 4 years. But during the 4 years, I have had the chance to work on it, work on it some more, come up with more ideas, build on everything, go back over it, refine it more etc. It's still a collaboration with Supremez, who also hasn't been active here.
The title is my page banner, and Zombie sets out to be the first (to my knowledge) true GM horror game (please correct me though.) It is genuinely scary, and boasts gripping gameplay. We are putting 110% into everything, since we have a wealth of innovative ideas and features. We have a kick ass story (4 years in the making, refining every detail - it is perfect, AND original.), jaw dropping, realistic, grungy graphics (despite it being an overhead game) and an excellent, feature filled engine, with decent physics and lighting. The story mode features a variety of environments, including complex indoor sections and vast, free roaming town sections.
The main engine is half done, however the little features that make a good game great add a large workload, and are not all done. The graphics are still in the early days - however it uses a mix of pixel art, photos and videos all blended in with Photoshop and various other things to create a graphical style similar to Gears of War.
Just as an example of these little features; if you shoot a light hanging from the ceiling, depending on the weapon and various other factors, it will either sway from the bullet's impact (it hit the lamp shade) or shatter and visibly drop to the floor, plunging you into darkness. At the same time, we have real time shadows cast by objects and characters, so when the light sways, the shadows grow and shrink, just as they would in a real life situation.
It promises to be genuinely scary, and with the length of time it has been in progress, we have come up with several original and effective ways to shock and scare. Since it is an overhead game, it will be harder to keep tension, but with good music, sfx and graphics, it will work well regardless.
There will be a single player, and survival mode, both with two difficulties. On a first play-through, even on the easy difficulty, we aim for it to be between 5 and 10 hours long. This is a realistic target, since there are 15 levels, a few short and simple, but most long and engaging, much like Half Life 2.
This is all I will reveal at the present time, but keep watch for other updates and maybe even video blogs in developer diary forms - we will be working on it heavily during the summer.
In other events that have occurred during period of absence, I broke my hip twice and cut my head open, all in the same second. Skiing in France, clipped a log, shattered my skis, flew 10m into a tree at 25mph. The cut is just below my right eyebrow, and I wasn't wearing a helmet, so was extremely lucky to get away as 'lightly' as I did - I could have easily killed myself, if I only hit my head one inch to the left or right: scary stuff! I was told, even with age on my side, it would take me 6 weeks to walk, but even the doctors were amazed with my recovery when I was walking in 11 days! That was February, and I'm fine now :P

URBANA – Champaign County Head Start has expanded its Early Head Start program to provide services to 56 more infants and toddlers.
And it has more space in Urbana for those very young children, thanks to a federal grant.
The program received $810,000, from federal stimulus money, to expand its Early Head Start services.
In May, it had a waiting list of 156 families who wanted to enroll infants and toddlers in the Early Head Start program. The expansion got one-third of those children off the waiting list and into the classroom.
"Infant and toddler care is at a premium throughout our community, so we chose Early Head Start expansion over Head Start expansion," said Head Start Director Kathleen Liffick.
There are now 136 children getting Early Head Start services in Champaign County, and a total of 584 in Head Start programs, which started the new school year this week.
Champaign County Head Start applied for a competitive federal grant that was awarding money for expansion of Head Start programs.
The grant money "provided the opportunity for us, for the first time in many years, to expand our enrollment," said Cameron Moore, chief executive officer of the Champaign County Regional Planning Commission, which operates the Champaign County Head Start program.
The money went to hiring 23 additional staff members, including teachers, teacher aides, a family advocate and two staff members who do home visits.
A good deal of the funding will go to staff training as well.
"Early Head Start services are very expensive," Liffick said, noting that state standards specify that there must be a teacher for every four children, and the children are in groups of no more than eight.
The state also specifies the amount of space a center must have for cribs and playtime on the floor. The Head Start program provides all diapers and formula for the children it serves. And the program also provides family support services and child health services.
"These are intensive services," she said.
The grant also allowed the program to take over the building in Urbana where it was providing services. Head Start had been leasing two classrooms in the Marilyn Queller Child Development Center, 108 S. Webber St., U., for two years. It had two Head Start preschool classrooms there for children ages 3 to 5.
The staff from the Marilyn Queller center were offered jobs with Head Start, and most took them, Liffick said.
The money also provided family support services and child health services to two classrooms run by the Marilyn Queller staff.
Now, Head Start is leasing the entire building, with its five classrooms, from the Webber Street Christian Church, and the Marilyn Queller center is being dissolved.
"It seemed to make sense we would become operators of the program," Liffick said.
That means all the children in the building – three preschool classrooms for 3- to 5-year-olds and two infant and toddler rooms serving children from birth up to age 3 – will receive Head Start services.
The 56 additional children in the Early Head Start program are spread among several locations. Eight are at the Urbana center, 24 are in Rantoul, and 16 are receiving home-based services.
The other eight children are part of a new collaboration with the Center for Women in Transition to provide Head Start services to homeless families.
The grant money helped pay for operating costs, including leasing the building in Urbana. Head Start also did some building improvements in Urbana and Rantoul, including upgrading the kitchen in Urbana. The Urbana, Rantoul, and Savoy sites all got new playground equipment.
Head Start also bought a van to take children whose families have no car to health appointments.
In addition to the federal money, the Head Start program received a $68,000 grant from Blue Cross/Blue Shield, which helped improve the playgrounds.

Church House Sunday Soul Sessions
Church House Sunday Soul Sessions on
Event Information
Followers 0
Hi All
More detail on the new Sunday Soul Sessions venue in Sheffield city centre, where we have moved following our split from the Washington. The location is Church House, on St. James Street, S1 2EW, just off Church Street, about 1 minute walk from the Sheffield Cathedral tram stop. On the street view below, it is still under its old mantle of 'Sanctuary'. There is parking available nearby on Hawley Street and Campo Lane at £1 for the day.
To repeat previous information, the first date will be September 15th, from 1pm to 6pm, and we will continue to operate every two months on the third Sunday. They offer a good range of beers and lagers, and food, though they menu is currently under revue following a change of management.
This is a superb bar in an excellent location, and I hope we can continue to have the success we had at the Washington. The music policy is the same as before, quality tunes of all soulful genres played only on original vinyl, from residents John and Gary plus regular guests.
See you there

Let me introduce myself. My name is Mark Sisson. I'm 63 years young. I live and work in Malibu, California. In a past life I was a professional marathoner and triathlete. Now my life goal is to help 100 million people get healthy. I started this blog in 2006 to empower people to take full responsibility for their own health and enjoyment of life by investigating, discussing, and critically rethinking everything we've assumed to be true about health and wellness...Tell Me More
As part of our ongoing Primal Blueprint Fitness Video Contest Mark's Daily Apple reader and competitive CrossFitter Blair Morrison submitted his interpretation of a Primal Blueprint Bodyweight Routine (the new contest theme is Creative Sprint Routines). He's in the running for a cash and Primal prize package and has a one in four shot of winning.
It's the day after Thanksgiving and you could probably use a little activity, so try out this Primal routine to get your heart pumping.

21 Comments on "Getting Primal in the Netherlands"
Great video – I like the balance of the workout and the scenery.
And many folks may not know this, but Blair Morrison is a bit of a CrossFit celeb; he took 7th in the 2009 CrossFit Games… so, he knows what he's doing!
Well he either doesn't know how to do a burpee, or was just lazy that day, 'cause I didn't seem him jump up once.
CrossFit burpees. In competition you want the fastest time, so you jump only so that your feet just come off the ground, which it looks like Blair's do by an inch or so. Also, it's called a sprint, which is the ideal, but tiredness plays into that.
p.s., my notes in my log after this workout were "7:00 of pain and sweat"!
I likey…
Where in The Netherlands is this? (sorry no time to watch the whole vid)
I love anything with bear crawls! My shoulders were burning just watching. Cool vid, Grok On!
I love the concept of the workout, but those are pretty sloppy, half assed burpees aren't they?
Haha, I would agree with you on that. I try to bring my knees to my shoulders on the burpee jump. But aside from that..
Awesome Set, Awesome Song.
Great video. I like the extra history you added about the location.
Bear crawl down the stairs?? Wow..
Nice video, but he has a really great one on his youtube channel (farm chipper)! Very primal!
I agree, those were poor burpees. And I would say that he may have been running up those steps but it wasn't sprinting. He may even have been running fairly hard, but it wasn't sprinting. In fact the workout structure militates against sprinting by its very nature – no recovery, high levels of fatigue. It's a great (Crossfit) muscular endurance session, and all power to him, but sprinting it wasn't – is that the 'creative' approach to sprinting?!?!
Nice video, especially liked the bear crawl.
Just take a look at his youtube channel, he is hardcore. 🙂
Well done
The castle is called Burcht te Leiden, built in the 12th century ontop of a Roman fortification.
Yeah, I actually did this for my conditioning this morning… and I am wiped.
You should engage in a contest personally of the most effective sites on the web. I'll suggest it all site!

Off to the Japanese Knotweed Symposium in New York for the next few days...one of the talks I'll be giving is about the Life on the Japanese Knotweed project I started over at Flickr. The best thing about the project is that all of our raw data is publicly accessible. So have a look through the photo pool, head straight to the preliminary results if you're interested, or even download the draft of our raw data.

Well, kids, we live in a world where someone is considering making a film and/or television show about Peeps. Like, the overly sugary marshmallow Peeps you eat or, if you're me, blow up in the microwave. Filmmaker Adam Rifkin just optioned rights and is thinking about turning Peeps into a full-length animated film. According to Deadline, the plot is "set the night before a Peeps diorama contest, when a wayward Peep gets misplaced and must adventure through the fantasy lands of different-themed dioramas before the contest's judging begins."
Actually, that doesn't sound so bad. And, they do have the popularity of Peeps to help draw audiences to theaters. Plus, the success of The Lego Movie proves that movies like this can work. Just think about all the product tie-ins! We'll see if it actually makes it to the next stage of development.

Force India were hoping a better result after a strong show amid wet conditions on Saturday.
But that wasn't to be as Hulkenberg, who started from a season best fourth place, could only secure two points while attempting a three-stop strategy.
Di Resta, on a two-stop strategy, slipped two places from his grid position for his second race in a row without points.
Force India stay eighth in the Constructors' Championship with 46 points, one less than the Williams.

MATLAB Newsgroup
I am a Newbie with Matlab. I am keying in some commands at command
prompt that loads a .dat file and then I convert the data to a sparse
matrix using "spconvert" function.
this just starts printing the whole matrix up on the command line, how
do I avoid this? I am using the command line mode from a workstation
using ssh connection.
I tried searching the FAQ but did not find anything on this, hence a
post here.

Yeah, it's not necessarily easy to find out how to find some of the
simplest basics at the beginning. The problem w/ descriptive
documentation--what seems natural to the writer isn't necessarily the
information the new user needs...
doc punct
specifically (altho I admit there's no way you would know that)
The specific answer is put a semicolon at the end of the command line to
suppress output.
I presume this is probably in the section on M-file programming if not
elsewhere, but didn't see it in the interface introductory section where
one would think it should be.

GNR-000B Black GN Sefer (aka Black Sefer, Sefer), is the Innovators replicated variant of GNR-000 GN Sefer. GN Sefer's data, along with that of the Raisel and Plutone, was stolen by the Innovators to create the Black Sefer, which was piloted by a clone of Grave Violento.
Technology & Combat Characteristics
GN Sefer is a support unit that can be equipped to the GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel. The GN Sefer's primary and only weapons were a pair of Proto-Bits. These bits were remote weapons that serve as the basis for the shield bits and rifle bits that would be used on the GN-006 Cherudim Gundam. It is also possible that the data for the Proto Bits, which would have been stored in Veda, would serve as the basis for the GN Fang weapons used by the GNW-002 Gundam Throne Zwei, GNW-20000 Arche Gundam, GNZ-007 Gaddess, and CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam/Cannon.
- GN Proto Bits
- GN Sefer is shown to carry two GN Proto Bits which is the prototype of GN Shield Bits or GN Fangs.GN Proto Bits is capable of manual control. It wasn't clear if there's a Haro to interface between the bits and MS.
- GN Vulcan
System Features
Picture Gallery
Notes & Trivia
- Sefer is Hebrew for book.
- Sefer Rasiel is named after Sefer Raziel HaMalakh. Sefer Raziel HaMalakh, (Hebrew, ספר רזיאל המלאך) Book of Raziel the Angel, is a medieval Kabbalistic grimoire, primarily written in Hebrew and Aramaic, but surviving also in Latin translation, as Liber Razielis Archangeli, in a 13th-century manuscript produced under Alfonso X.

Doherty boosts Irish hopes
By planetfootball.com staff
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
The Tottenham Hotspur man netted with just six minutes remaining to hand Brian Kerr a precious three points in his first competitive game at the Irish helm.
Ireland travelled to Georgia having failed to rack up any points in their opening two games in Group Ten and they could ill-afford another slip-up in the Lokomotiv Stadium.
The visitors were given the perfect platform after 18 minutes when Damien Duff pounced on a loose ball.
Kevin Kilbane's cross was powered goalwards by Lee Carsley but the ball rebounded off the post and fell kindly for Blackburn Rovers winger Duff to nudge home.
Despite missing a trio of key players, Georgia battled bravely against the Irish and were level on the hour mark when Levan Kobiaschwili scored from a free-kick.
With Ireland seemingly heading for a stalemate, Doherty headed into the back of the net after Matt Holland had nodded the ball back across the box.
In the other Group 10 match, Albania pulled to within two points of second place Russia with a surprise 3-1 home victory in Shkoder.
Altin Rraklli gave the home side a 1-0 half-time lead before Russia equalised in the second half through Andrei Karyaka with 13 minutes to go.
However, three minutes after the visitors pulled level, Hannover's Altin Lala restored Albania's lead and Brescia's Igli Tare secured the three points four minutes after that, to delight the crowd at the Loro Borici Stadium.

Before October 1, 2012, the US Family Health Plan was also available to all Medicare-eligible beneficiaries age 65 and older. On October 1, 2012, this rule changed for all NEW US Family Health Plan enrollees, but existing enrollees are not affected.
If you are already enrolled in the US Family Health Plan when you become eligible for Medicare (US Family Health Plan coverage begins before September 2012), you can stay enrolled as long as there is no break in coverage.
However, we strongly encourage you to enroll in Part B when you first become eligible. If you disenroll from the US Family Health Plan or move to a non-US Family Health Plan area, you won't be eligible for other TRICARE benefits if you don't have Part B. And, if you don't enroll in Part B when first eligible, you may be required to pay the Medicare Part B Late Enrollment PenaltyYour monthly premium for Part B may go up 10% for each full 12-month period that you could have had Part B, but didn't sign up for it..
Beginning October 1, 2012, Medicare-eligible beneficiaries age 65 and older can no longer enroll in the US Family Health Plan. If you are under age 65 and using Medicare due to a disability or other reason, you can remain enrolled in the US Family Health Plan until your 65th birthday. At that time, you will transition to TRICARE For Life.

Turkey Breakfast Sausage Patties
Recipe by Marla Swoffer
I combined different spices to achieve what tastes almost as good, if not better than regular sausage. Be sure to use regular ground turkey (not ground turkey breast, which is too lean so it doesn't have enough moisture). UPDATE: After all the positive reviews, I decided to submit this to Taste of Home's Light & Tasty and they published it in the Dec/Jan 2008 issue. It's also in the Light & Tasty Annual Recipes 2008 Cookbook.
Top Review by alaboutnow
My kids and I love this recipe, but it can be expensive to make every day. Recently I got an idea from the Taco Bell incident. If they can add oats (which are really good for you anyway) to their taco meat, why can't I add it to my sausage? I ground some oats up in my food processor and added it to the sausage with a little water. It tasted great and I got an extra half pound!
See Discussion:132 Reviews 8 Tweaks
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 lb ground turkey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons sage
- 1 teaspoon fennel seed
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- 1 teaspoon black pepper

- 1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1⁄8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1⁄8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1⁄8 teaspoon allspice

- Combine all ingredients (use less pepper if you don't want a spicy taste) and blend well.
- If time permits, refrigerate overnight to let the meat absorb the flavor of the spices.
- Form into patties and cook as needed, freezing leftovers.
- Don't overcook or they will dry out--remove from the heat as soon as they're no longer pink inside, but still juicy. (if you prefer a moister texture, you add a splash of olive oil or an egg to the mixture just prior to cooking).

Calcutta, Dec. 22: Another year and the government would be out of its financial crisis, Jyoti Basu said today.
The CPM patriarch was addressing a party programme to mark the golden jubilee of its mouthpiece, Ganashakti. The crunch, Basu said, was coming in the way of the governments political agenda and it was imperative for it to swim out of trouble.
They (government) will take another year to overcome the crisis. We have discussed the problem in our party. Our party secretariat is trying to help the government to overcome the problem. The state committee will also take it up for discussion. The government would have to defeat the crisis at any cost, Basu, now a politburo member, told partymen amid intermittent cheers.
Personally, I never thought that the Left Front will return to power with a two-thirds majority (in the last Assembly election). But the people of Bengal have supported the front wholeheartedly .We had promised the people a responsive government, but, unfortunately, it is ensnared in the crisis, he said.
For the CPM, the one discordant note at the programme was struck by former city mayor Kamal Basu. The veteran leader felt the party was increasingly deviating from its ideology and had concentrated all its energies and time in ensuring organisational growth and managing electoral compulsions.
Jyoti Basu said the continuation of the front government in Bengal was essential for the growth of the Left forces in the rest of the country. It is a matter of great regret that we have failed to spread our party in other states, though we are running an excellent government in Bengal for the past 26 years. Our fault is that we have forgotten to follow the communist ideal of self-criticism and self-analysis. Our governments in Bengal and in the small state of Tripura will have to perform better to set examples in good governance before the people of other states and thats why it is urgent for the front to continue, he added.
CPM state secretary Anil Biswas linked the peoples confidence in the government with the lack of popular faith in Opposition parties like the Trinamul Congress and the Congress.
Reacting to the state BJPs recent remark that it will follow the (Narendra) Modi line in Bengal, Biswas said in the past, several leaders had tried their line in the state and failed. This would be no exception.
You had heard about the Panskura line, which Trinamul tried to follow during the last Assembly polls. They failed to convince the people. In 1963-64, then Union minister Guljarilal Nanda had tried to pursue his own line to isolate the communist movement. He failed, as did Y.V. Chavan in 1971-72, Biswas said.

Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."

Good for him. That will be a great place for him to finish his career. He'll have one more shot at a Super Bowl, then he can come back to Indy someday for the Ring of Honor ceremony that he very much deserves. He is a Colt forever.
Selfishly, I was really hoping be would retire. When we took my 5 year old to pick out a Colts jersey, he asked for Jeff Saturday. The fact that even a 5 year old knew Jeff and his importance to the team and wanted his jersey is all you need to know about that guy.

This was stunning to me. I figured if he went anywhere it would have been to follow Peyton. Selfishly I was hoping for 2-3 years more here teaching our young QB how to play. He was one of my favorite players of the colts all time ranking with Quinton Coryatt (back in the day), Peyton and Marshall Faulk.

Gizbot had earlier reported about the windows blue might ship with ultrabooks powered by Haswell - The next-generation of power-efficient processor by Intel. There is more rumors surrounding the chip sets. VR-Zone China has posted a list of the mobile processors.
Core i3-4005U, i3-4010U, i3-4100U, Core i5-4200U, i5-4200Y and Core i7-4500U were found to come with HD 5000 GPU
Core i5-4258U, i5-4288U and Core i7-4558U were found to come with HD 5100 GPU.
Core i7-4850HQ and i7-4950HQ, come with HD 5200 iGPU
Next line of processors spotted include Core i7-4850HQ and i7-4950HQ. The Chinese portal manages to give out specs for two processors.
Core i7-4850HQ runs at 2.3 GHz / 3.5 GHz, has a cache memory of 6 MB, a TDP of 47 Watts and an iGPU speed of 200 MHz / 1300 MHz.
The Core i7-4950HQ operates at 2.4 GHz / 3.6 GHz and also has a cache memory of 6 MB, a TDP of 47 Watts and an iGPU speed of 200 MHz / 1300 MHz.
Both the processors are said to come with Turbo Boost, Trusted Execution, VT-d virtualization, and Hyper-Threading.
It seems like Intel are taking huge strides in energy efficient technology. The future for Intel powered, Next-gen ultrabooks, looks bright.

The Australian Manufacturers Association (AMA) is continuing its push for a domestic gas reservation policy, despite the opposition of the Federal Industry Minister.
The soon-to-be-released green paper on Australia's energy supplies will address industry priorities and set out an initial policy framework for the future.
Manufacturers are hopeful it will include some form of domestic gas reservation policy for manufacturing and households.
But minister Ian Macfarlane says that would be against free market principles, and he says it hasn't worked in Western Australia where the State Government reserved gas for domestic use.
"In WA, if you ask anyone, they'll tell you it's corrupted the market and affected supply.
"There is no good reason for a reservation policy.
"It is ideological claptrap."
But AMA CEO Ben Eade says it's necessary to shore up supply for domestic gas users, and he says claims that quarantining gas will kill off investment aren't valid.
"I guess Canberra may swallow the spin that reservation would destroy investment. But reservation hasn't killed investment in WA.
"Last year was a record year for investment in LNG and there's about $116 billion in projects under construction."
The price paid for domestic users is also a contentious issue.
The domestic price is at parity with the export price, and when production is at peak, it's likely to spike threefold, up to $12 a gigajoule.

Making the morning rounds.
• You ain't got no alibi. Kentucky went into its season opener a 34-point favorite over Sun Belt Conference doormat Western Kentucky, and proceeded to launch a full frontal assault on the basic concept of "offense" that makes it hard to believe UK will score 34 points all season. Through three quarters, the Wildcats had managed barely 70 yards in total offense, on less than two yards per snap; ultimately, half of their 176 total yards for the game — a full 250 yards below last year's season average — came on two big plays in the fourth quarter. Quarterbacks Morgan Newton and Kewaun Jakes combined to complete 14 of 39 passes with six interceptions, six sacks and a pass efficiency rating of 49.1. After penalties, both offenses netted a grand total of 217 yards between them.
Somebody had to win, and thanks to a short-field touchdown following a WKU turnover in the first half and the two big plays late, that was Kentucky, 14-3. But any game featuring as many penalties (17) and punts (15) as points is a black mark on everyone involved, including those of us who watched it. [Kentucky 14, Western Kentucky 3]
• . Following through on his standing threat to bench mercurial quarterback Stephen Garcia, Steve Spurrier has named sophomore Connor Shaw the starter for South Carolina's opener against East Carolina, ending Garcia's streak of 28 consecutive starts. Spurrier insists the decision is strictly performance-related — "I said way back we're going to have a preseason competition to see who the starter is going to be (the) first game," Spurrier said Thursday on his weekly radio show. "The guy who rated the best was Connor Shaw. He played better than Stephen Garcia. Simple as that." — but Garcia's summer-long absence from the team on the heels of his fifth alcohol-related suspension at USC obviously didn't help his cause. Spurrier said Shaw will play the first quarter, Garcia will play the second, and "we're going to see what happens after that." [Charleston Post & Courier]
• This is not what you'd call "ideal timing." USC secondary coach Wille Mack Garza abruptly resigned Thursday for "personal reasons," reportedly due to his involvement in an ongoing NCAA probe into Texas-based "scout" Willie Lyles. Lyles reportedly met with the NCAA earlier this week about his connection to multiple schools, including Oregon and LSU, and apparently revealed in that interview that he had an undefined relationship with Garza, prompting the latter's exit as soon as word got back to USC. [Orange County Register, CBSSports.com]
• I'm still here. After a couple harrowing weeks, Oklahoma defensive end Ronnell Lewis has been declared academically eligible and cleared to play in Saturday's opener against Tulsa. Lewis started the last four games last year as a sophomore and has continued practicing with OU's starting defense throughout the preseason, giving the Sooners an intact defensive line in front of a depleted linebacker corps. [The Oklahoman]
• Get well… soon? Northwestern quarterback Dan Persa, a first-team All-Big Ten pick by league coaches and media last year despite missing the Wildcats' final three games with a ruptured Achilles' tendon, is officially listed as "questionable" for Saturday's opener at Boston College. After a full offseason of rehab, Persa was still reportedly limping throughout preseason practices, casting an ominous pall over his senior season. [Chicago Tribune]
Quickly… T. Boone Pickens Wants TCU in the Big 12. … Texas says the Aggies could have gotten in the ground floor of the Longhorn Network. … Austin Box's parents aid the ongoing investigation into their son's untimely death. … Auburn puts Gene Chizik on the elevators. … Kansas State's student newspaper goes behind the mask with EcoKat. … Rob Long writes a thank-you letter to Syracuse fans for their support during his bout with brain cancer. … Miami gets a huge donation from a donor who doesn't need a background check. … And I guess I can assume it's open season on mocking New England around here.

We are pleased to present below all posts tagged with 'health care reform'. If you still can't find what you are looking for, try using the search box.
Time Magazine's cover story this week is an incredible read and one we highly recommend. Steven Brill's "Bitter Pill: Why Medical Bills are Killing Us" provides a remarkably in depth look at our American health care system including Medicare. Using many personal case studies, Brill breaks down and describes the economic devastation being reaped by our for profit medical industrial complex.
As we've said here repeatedly, America doesn't face a Medicare crisis -- we face a national health care crisis. Rather than targeting Medicare for cuts we should be using it as the model to improve out health care system nationwide. As Brill reports:
"Unless you are protected by Medicare, the health care market is not a market at all. It's a crapshoot. They are powerless buyers in a seller's market where the only sure thing is the profit of the sellers."
"Unless you are protected by Medicare, the health care market is not a market at all. It's a crapshoot. They are powerless buyers in a seller's market where the only sure thing is the profit of the sellers."
Consider Time's example of Susan S. She was 64, one year away from qualifying for Medicare, when she went to the hospital with chest pains. Her bill for 3 hours of tests and a false alarm was $21,000. If she had Medicare she would have paid less than $500. Compare her costs:
Time's survey of this same hospital found that in 2010 its total charges were 11 times its actual costs. And that's not unusual in our current private profit and even non-profit health care system.
Not only does Medicare manage these outrages costs better than the private market, Medicare's administrative costs are two-thirds of 1% or less than $3.80 per claim. Private Insurers administrative costs run much higher. Brill reports Aetna's for example, run 29% or $30 for each claim.
However, Medicare isn't immune from the skyrocketing costs that are burdening our economy. Brill points out that Congress has tied Medicare's hands in many instances forcing the more efficient Medicare program to perform like the less efficient private market:
Our laws do more than prevent the government from restraining prices for drugs the way other countries do. Federal law also restricts the biggest single buyer — Medicare — from even trying to negotiate drug prices. As a perpetual gift to the pharmaceutical companies (and an acceptance of their argument that completely unrestrained prices and profit are necessary to fund the risk taking of research and development), Congress has continually prohibited the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) of the Department of Health and Human Services from negotiating prices with drugmakers. Instead, Medicare simply has to determine that average sales price and add 6% to it.
Similarly, when Congress passed Part D of Medicare in 2003, giving seniors coverage for prescription drugs, Congress prohibited Medicare from negotiating.
Nor can Medicare get involved in deciding that a drug may be a waste of money. In medical circles, this is known as the comparative-effectiveness debate, which nearly derailed the entire Obamacare effort in 2009.

The health care industrial complex spends more than three times what the military industrial complex spends for Washington lobbying. Is it any wonder why so many in Congress have chosen to ignore the true system wide health care problem in favor of targeting Medicare for benefit cuts, arbitrary caps, cost-shifting, means-testing and privatization.
They know what the core problem is — lopsided pricing and outsize profits in a market that doesn't work.
They know what the core problem is — lopsided pricing and outsize profits in a market that doesn't work.
In spite of this, Congress appears ready to protect that broken health care market that is wrecking our economy in favor of targeting the program that works for cuts -- all in the name of deficit reduction. Cutting benefits to seniors in Medicare not only ignores the real challenges we face as a nation but it also threatens the health security of millions of Americans.

Seniors have plenty to celebrate today as the Supreme Court has upheld health care reform and all the benefits it brings to Americans in Medicare.
"Health care reform is vital for the economic health of our nation and the Medicare and Medicaid programs. Today's decision helps move our nation forward while also protecting America's elderly, poor, sick, and uninsured by preserving billions of dollars in benefits and countless provisions to cut waste, fraud and abuse that extend these programs' solvency." Max Richtman, NCPSSM President/CEO
"The Supreme Court's decision is the most important safety net related decision since the Social Security Act was upheld by the Court in 1937. It validates Congress' clear intent to improve seniors' health and well-being and uphold all of the provisions important to all older adults." Paul Nathanson, National Senior Citizens Law Center Executive Director
Virtually every American family will be touched by today's ruling but here's a reminder of just some of the benefits this ruling preserves for America's elderly :
· Seniors will continue to receive prescription drug savings through brand name and generic discounts
· The Part D prescription drug coverage gap known as the 'donut hole' will continue to be phased out
· Covered annual wellness visits for beneficiaries will continue to be provided in Medicare
· Seniors will pay less for preventive services. Under the ACA, Medicare will fully cover screenings like mammograms, pap smears, bone mass measurements, depression screening, diabetes screening, HIV screening and obesity screenings
· 8 years has been added to Medicare's solvency thanks to the Affordable Care Act
Unfortunately, the future of an estimated 3.3 million uninsured young seniors, ages 50-64, who would have received health coverage under Medicaid and many of the 16 million older adults and individuals with disabilities who rely on Medicaid for long-term services and supports, is less certain with this ruling as the Court has limited the government's ability to penalize states who do not participate in the expansion of Medicaid. That means some states could limit their expansion to seniors. We'll have more details on what the Medicaid ruling really means for seniors nationwide.

Confused by what health care reform really means for seniors? Join the crowd. Take a few minutes and let this video help break it all down for you...
The Patients Aware campaign, created by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare Foundation, the Herndon Alliance, and the National Physicians Alliance, has released a new video to help America's seniors understand the new Medicare benefits available to them thanks to the Affordable Care Act. The video, "Did You Know?", highlights new preventive benefits for seniors, Part D coverage improvements like closing the donut hole, and describes how savings have already reduced Part B premiums for seniors. The video can be seen on the Patients Aware website at: www. Patientsaware.org.
Patients Aware has assembled a national network of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare experts to give Medicare presentations during educational meetings and town halls beginning in March. Medical professionals are among the most trusted sources of health care information for seniors and their families. They understand how vital Medicare is to the health and wellbeing of their older patients which is why they have agreed to donate their free time to provide information and answer questions for seniors in cities throughout the country.
"America's seniors want and deserve the facts about Medicare, prescription drug policy, and what federal health reform will mean for them. Most Americans know very little about the important new benefits and protections provided by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The National Physicians Alliance has found that providing non-partisan, factual information about the law is the best antidote to widespread confusion and anxiety." Dr. Valerie Arkoosh, NPA President
The video release and town hall tour follows a successful December 2011 campaign kick off in which more than sixty thousand Americans participated in a Patients Aware tele-town hall with Assistant Secretary for Aging Kathy Greenlee, and a panel of doctors, nurses, and healthcare policy experts. Seniors and their families dialed in to this national forum to ask questions about the Affordable Care Act and what it means for millions of Medicare beneficiaries. The hour-long event kicked-off one of the most effective education efforts to date since the law was passed in March 2010.

While Presidential candidates and Washington politicians continue to claim "we can't afford Social Security and Medicare", few-- if any--want to talk about what their proposals will actually mean for millions of middle-class Americans who depend on these programs. Columbia Journalism Review's Trudy Lieberman wrote a memo to political journalists urging them to start asking some tough questions so that voters can understand what their plans to cut benefits will actually mean for our nation.
Last week, speaking to business leaders in Detroit, GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney mentioned that Medicare-eligible Americans ought to wait longer for their benefits. The media glossed over Romney's remarks; but I kept thinking about them as I was chatting with a woman who had one leg, amputated because of complications from diabetes. And they stayed in my mind as I talked to another woman—a 67-year-old who had a stroke last year, and had had to quit working as a presser for a local dry cleaner ten years ago, when she was 57. She had a seizure, and a hot press fell on her hand. A long scar shows how her work life ended. She qualified for a Social Security disability check—all of $795 a month that's been her only income ever since. How on earth could someone like her pay for medical care if she had had to wait a few more years?
A CNBC blog picked up an AP story which noted that Mitt had said the federal health reform law was too expensive; that it raised taxes and cut $500 billion from Medicare. Not another half truth! For the fourteenth time, the law did cut payments to hospitals and to sellers of Medicare Advantage plans, but it did not cut basic benefits for seniors. Yet the GOP keeps using the number to scare seniors into voting for them. The blog post linked to a CNBC primer on Medicare and Medicaid, which at least offered some basics. For the record, the CNBC primer didn't correct that misperception.
Please indulge me in a digression. Research from respected sources like the Kaiser Family Foundation has challenged the notion that raising the age for Medicare benefits saves money. Kaiser found that lifting the age from 65 to 67 would reduce Medicare spending by $7.6 billion. But before you run with that number, you need to know that cost would merely be shifted to employers and individuals, who would have to pay more for health coverage to replace the lost Medicare benefits. It would mean spending $10.1 billion in the private sector to save $7.6 billion for the government. How's that for bending the nation's cost curve?

Fran Garfinkle is a 70-year old retired small business owner and cancer survivor from Bethesda, Maryland. She's among four million seniors who will be trapped in the Medicare Part D coverage gap known as the "donut hole" this year. Fran has seen first-hand how quickly retirement plans can change when confronted with skyrocketing health care costs, rising premiums and Part D's flawed "donut hole" provision. She fell into the donut hole for the first time last summer.
"We scrimped and saved and somehow I managed to find the money to buy the prescriptions I needed last year. Then this May, I reached the "donut hole" again and the whole nightmare started from the beginning. Like so many others, my husband and I are on a fixed income. It's pretty scary. We pay for medicare plan, medicare supplement plan, prescription drug plan, dental plan and on top of all the copays, we are now paying 100% of my drug costs because I'm back in the "donut hole"...Fran Garfinkle, NCPSSM volunteer

Members of the House of Representatives currently receive an annual salary of $174,000. In addition, they receive health insurance, retirement benefits and paid time off. The total compensation is about $285,000. In an article published by the Taxpayers Protection Alliance in July 2011, it states "Members of the United States Congress are among the highest-paid legislators in the world."
In 2009, the financial crisis severely impacted my business, reducing revenue by about 40% over previous years. I was faced with the decision of laying people off, reducing salaries for every employee, or being a servant leader. I knew if I laid two people off, they would have to struggle to find another job in the poor economic situation and it would reduce my company's ability to serve our clients when the demand for services increased. If I chose to reduce everyone's wages, then every employee would be impacted and some would have to sell their car or move back home.
After a discussion with my business partner, we decided that we would not draw a salary until revenue increased. We went six months without a paycheck and significantly reduced our salaries for another three months. We were the two lowest paid full-time company employees in 2009.
Because of the provisions of the 27th Amendment, any changes in Congressional salaries cannot go into effect until the next term of the House of Representatives. In other words, if the members of today's Congress vote for a reduction in salary, the reductions will not go into effect until the next Congress is sworn in January 2013.
I have written my Congressman, David Dreier, asking for his opinion on the various bills now pending that reduce Congressional salaries. I believe as Americans, we are facing difficult economic times, and it is only proper that our government representatives share the burden.

I previously wrote a post when I started using Basis by Elysium Health exactly one year ago today. I wanted to update with my experience using this product over the last year. My old post includes a link to request a working coupon code that will give you $10 off your first order–click the link at the top of that post and it will take you to the Elysium website. FYI, the discount will not show up in your cart until AFTER you have created an account by entering in your address, email address, etc.
My experience has overall been quite positive. It is a bit odd to try to quantify this, since it is almost entirely subjective. I prefer to use hard science when possible, but I have little in the way of evidence to offer (my numbers on my annual physical exam were better this year than last year, but I have also done other things such as cut sugar entirely out of my diet–no more cheat day!–in that time frame, and the numbers could just as easily be due to those positive changes). So, my anecdotal evidence of the efficacy of Basis boils down to this: I feel better. I think I look better (and many others agree). I actually turned 50 a few months ago, and people commonly tell me that they assumed I was in my late 30s. My skin seems to be slightly more elastic. I put on muscle a bit more easily ( I notice gains in the gym quickly). My endurance is heightened–I commonly do an hour on the elliptical when I visit the gym, with no difficulty (no shortness of breath and no lingering fatigue). I sleep better. I actually feel for the first time what people might call a "spring in my step"–I walk lightly and with ease–although this could of course be chalked up to the fact that I have developed stronger thighs and calf muscles. All of these things are inextricably linked, and I can't narrow them down to any one factor (is the spring in my step due to Basis or due to the increased muscularity of my legs–and, if it is my leg muscles, are they bigger now because of the Basis? It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg conundrum).
Although I cannot say definitively that these positive changes are due to taking Basis, I can say that I believe that they are at least partly due to my year-long twice-daily dose of Basis. If you would like to try it for yourself, you can save $10 by clicking here.

The Lotus Building by Studio505
by Diogo Neto 5:05 PM 0 comments
Architecture and design firm Studio505, have recently completed the Lotus Building in Wujin, China. "Located in the heart of Wujin, the burgeoning southern district of Changzhou, Jiangsu PRC, the Lotus Building and the 3.5 hectare People's Park has been designed to act as a cultural anchor and civic landmark
– establishing a symbolic commitment of the local government's ambitions and future aspirations. Conceived as an inhabited sculptural form, emerging naturally from the lake; the visitor enters from beneath and is greeted with a cathedral like revelation of space. Colour and light combine and illuminate, creating a bright and uplifting interior atmosphere, no matter the weather. Transitioned and graded colour is applied to the side of the petal ribs, creating a deep hue only at the edge of the structure. Hand laid and varied white, beige and stainless steel hexagon mosaic tile finishes cover all external and internal surfaces; merging seamlessly to create a continuous form with studio505′s bespoke 7m high suspended chandelier at the apex, becoming the focus of attention, inside and out. The project has been designed to minimise energy usage- with over 2500 geothermal piles driven through the base of the artificial lake, The entire lake water mass and ground beneath is utilised to pre-cool (summer) and pre-warm (winter) the air conditioning systems for both the lotus and the two storey building beneath the lake. The project is also mixed mode and naturally ventilated and utilises evaporative cooling from the lake surface to drive a thermal chimney within the main flower pod. Studio 505′s design creates a vibrant public realm; key to which is a night lighting system devised to hold a series of changing natural colour combinations for 20 seconds before slowly transitioning to the next scene over 10 seconds. The Lotus Centre and People's Park has become one of the most popular landmarks in Wujin with a sustained contribution to the social and cultural life of the city."

So who appeared on Monday on our television sets with a black eye and bandage? No one else but our entertaining late night host Jimmy Kimmel, and he obviously had to explain what exactly happened. And he chose to tell us the entire story in an amusing reenactment.
Kimmel began by saying: 'You probably noticed that my normally perfect face has been damaged.'
Then he added: 'I want to apologize to those of you who came specifically to see it (my face) but on Saturday my fiancée and I went to lunch... I actually put together a little reenactment of this, so I'll show you what happened.'
While narrating he said: 'We went to lunch and we were supposed to pick something up and we decided sit down at a restaurant.' And then he continued to tell us the entire story with his dramatic recreation of the events that took place.
Towards the end of it he also managed to crack a Paula Deen joke by saying, "And my eye keeps on getting blacker. My eye is so black right now Paula Deen apologized to it."
Check out Kimmel's hilarious reenactment in the video above and share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

Love It or Hate It? Kimora Lee Simmons' Costume Institute Gala Look
Yesterday was Kimora Lee Simmons' birthday. Seeing as how she's a Taurus, I couldn't help but think that she'd benefit from some sign-specific astrology advice. Her hairstyle is elegant, but the electric blue and green eye shadow compete with each other. If anyone can pull off clashing colors, it's her, but is it appropriate for this kind of event?

In addition to sledding, we went to a Borah Basketball game, the last two games we attended, Borah lost in the last seconds of the game by one point. But Friday, they pulled off a victory, yep, last second, one point win! I also went to another borah game, an emmett wrestling match and of course girls state and boys districts followed by state are all on the calender. Along with the birth of two more grandchildren.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
My ex wife currently has residential custody, and lives in Texas. I live in Kansas. My kids have moved in with me as of 8/1/2008. This was done, and agreed upon by everyone. I am, however, still paying child support. How can I change who has residential custody, as I'm told this will stop the child support order. Thanks in advance for any help.
Support does not modify automatically in most states. You must take some action to get it changed. You will likely get credit for the time that the kids were with you and you were still paying, but that legal obligation must be corrected and changed by a court. Child Support enforcement is a very serious matter and when these issues are not dealt with at the time they occur, there are far reaching, long term implications and financial consequences for the obligor parent. It is critically important to have orders entered, and modified to reflect the actual circumstances in the children's lives. You should contact you local Child Support Agency. They will assist you in modifying the order, obtaining a valid order, and enforcing the order once it is obtained. Do not rely upon verbal agreements with the other parent, these are NOT enforceable and will not serve to change your court ordered child support obligation. There is no charge or fee of any kind to seek assistance from Child Support Services in your area.Ask a similar question

Balancing with the Full Pink Moon in Libra
Wisdom from Seanmháthair Gealach (Grandmother Moon)
Full Moon in Libra, known by some as The Pink Moon (first Full Moon of springtime)
April 10th at 11:08 PM Pacific Time / April 11th at 06:08 UTC
Ah, the Pink Moon… named as such by First Nations people in some parts of North America because of the abundance of pink phlox in the meadows at this time of year. Here in Vancouver, I associate it less with phlox and more with the abundance of cherry blossoms on our streets, as pictured above.
But this Moon has other names too… the Egg Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Fish Moon, Easter Moon and the Wind Moon. I believe we can name our own Full Moons, based on where we live and what is happening in our lives at this time of year. Doing so reinforces our connection with Grandmother Moon.
What will YOU name this first Full Moon of Spring? (Or Autumn, if in the Southern Hemisphere?)
Regardless of its name, the Full Moon is always a magical time . . . an empowering time when the seeds planted at our New Moon are growing and flourishing, and when we are manifesting our dreams. Charged by the Full Moon's fiery Yang energy, we may feel LaLuna's strong gravitational pull and its "Yes, I can change the world… NOW!" energy!
The Libra energy in this Full Moon enhances sociability such as gatherings with family, catching up with friends and acquaintances, and even romantic trysts. Consider group rituals and activities for this full moon, even a simple stroll at sunset when the Full Moon rises in the East. The sign of Libra is represented by the scales, so be aware of balance in your life:
- Yes, celebrate and socialize but also focus on your spiritual practices such as healing and releasing.
- Drink some herbal teas throughout the day, especially ones that are fresh and local to your region. For me, this would be infusions made with nettle, lemon balm, dandelion or pine needles.
- Focus on what is truly essential and needed. Resist getting caught up in wanting to do something just to act on "something".
Consider how you can bring this month's theme of Rejuvenation into your Full Moon ritual and practices, such as:
- Libra is already reminding you of the importance of balance. Take time to center, to ground with Mama Earth. This will help you ready your Self for manifesting your goals this month and for releasing whatever might be holding you back.
- Meditate or journey with The Mother Goddess(es) — such as Gaia, Hestia, Green Tara — and ask for their wisdom about what needs to be birthed (or rejuvenated) in your life
- Do a card reading, asking one or more questions such as:
- "What is flourishing in my life?"
- "How can I use the wisdom of The Mother to support me?"
- "How can I be of service, be a Mother to my community?"
Create (or modify) your Altar to celebrate the Full Moon. This could include:
- something fresh, such as flowers, leaves, buds, grasses
- an item to represent The Mother archetype / Goddess, which is strongly associated with The Full Moon and the birth of creativity
- something pink for the Pink Moon (rose quartz perhaps?), or something to represent whatever you name this Moon, e.g. an egg for the Egg Moon, a feather for the Wind Moon
- crystals associated with the Full Moon. Hibiscus Moon recommends selenite, moonstone, labradorite and opal. Click here for more info on the crystals
- a bright altar cloth in Spring colours
🌸 🌝 Full Moon Blessings 🌝 🌸

If you love working with Mother Earth (known by so many names, such as Gaia, Pachamama, and Danú), following the energies of Grandmother Moon (Seanmháthair Gealach), of the Goddess(es), of Father Sky (Daghda), following the Celtic Wheel of The Year, creating or learning ancestral crafts and herbalism, or follow an earth-based spirituality…. or are interested in learning more about this path, you will find great resources – and the opportunity to ask questions, share rituals, and more – in our NEW private Facebook Group, the Wise Woman Bean Gealach Circle.

Come on, girl! Always remember that you're a gem and no one should ever treat you less than what you deserve
Women generally tend to be insecure about almost all things – how they look upon themselves, the way they handle emotions, sky-high expectations from their relationships, never-ending career issues and the unwritten competition among other girls. It's a matter of a good combination of self-respect, confidence and self-appreciation – because you have to know it yourself before someone admire you, and for sure your prince charming is just around the corner. Just wait and see
