Um, someone's twitter account just became active again
This is great.
Fake dead girlfriend of Notre Dame football's team captain to hold press conference on twitter at 12PM PST. God I love the internet. Thank you for making this all possible Al Gore.
obligatory. i'm not sure what's happening at 1:30
What if this @LennayKay account is a fake account of a fake account? #INCEPTION
Are any of us real? Who can define what is real?
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
It is, it's been active for like 2 days. When someone shuts down a twitter account someone can just register the same name and act like nothing changed.
This is SO good.
Really? So if I delete my Twitter account somebody could conceivably use my same handle? That's disappointing. I was all excited to hear the dead girl's story.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
Can we give all the ESPYs to this story? And all the awards pertaining to comedy to this story also?
As a ND fan all I can do is face palm on this. Either Te'o is the most gullible person out there or he is just a crazy attention whore.
All I know is if his story is true he better disconnect himself from the internet or he will be losing all of his money because he thinks he has a sweet deal with a Nigerian prince.
The statement of the faked fake girlfriend is up:
My statement: This is incredibly embarrassing to talk about, but I have been told by Alabama's offense that Manti Te'o is not real.
The poster "pacertom" since this forum began (and before!). I changed my name here to "Slick Pinkham" in honor of the imaginary player That Bobby "Slick" Leonard picked late in the 1971 ABA draft (true story!).
Lol too good.

this is pretty new I think, and does not look great for the story ND put out last night
If that's true, then it's dumbfounding that Notre Dame wouldn't have realized that before making their statement yesterday. I think they are going to live to regret that press conference.
Here's a tmz article saying basically the same thing that the one you linked to says:
- . . . The revelation of the hoax has been far-reaching. A Notre Dame graduate who launched a campaign to raise money for a cancer research group in memory of Te'o's girlfriend says he is "shell-shocked" to learn the woman didn't exist.
Dan Tudesco, a 2006 graduate who now works in public relations in New York, set up an online account at fundraising website indiegogo.com on Jan. 9 to solicit $5,000 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Inc. The initial pitch said donations would go to the society in memory of Lennay Kekua and in honor of Te'o, "two individuals who have been an inspiration to us through an iconic season."
Tudesco said he and three friends got the fundraising idea after seeing a video that went viral of Te'o holding his head in dismay during the Irish's 42-14 loss to Alabama in the national championship game.
The goal was to turn the loss -- and the player's sudden popularity -- into something positive.
"I think we were all kind of disappointed in the result of the game ... and the Manti story was very inspirational," Tudesco told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Notre Dame took notice of Tudesco's tweets about the fund drive and sent a university videographer to shoot an interview with him. The video was posted on the Notre Dame athletics YouTube channel Tuesday.
Tudesco said he didn't believe Notre Dame was aware of the hoax when it promoted his fundraiser.
"It would surprise me that Notre Dame would want to promote this if they knew something like this was going on," Tudesco said.
However, Notre Dame officials said Wednesday that they became aware of the hoax on Dec. 26, nearly two weeks before the championship game. University spokesman Dennis Brown didn't immediately respond to a request seeking comment Thursday . . .
Not without precedence at ND
. . . There's a great moment in Ray Robinson's Rockne of Notre Dame when he describes Rockne taking his team down to play Georgia Tech in the 1920s. This was the heart of Ku Klux Klan country and the Klan, of course, hated Catholics as much as they hated blacks and Jews. In the locker room before the game, Rockne gave his usual passionate speech about pride and dedication, then suddenly lowered his voice. Robinson writes:
Arriving at this climax, Rockne slowly removed a crumpled telegraph from his pocket. In silence he stared at the words on the missive. Then he began to read aloud: "PLEASE WIN THIS GAME FOR MY DADDY. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO HIM."
"It's from Billy," Rockne said, referring to his beloved 6-year-old son, the team's unofficial mascot. "He's very ill and is in the hospital." When Rockne finished, some of the players, Robinson writes, "began to cry, while others jumped up from their perches and swore they would annihilate Tech just for Billy. Indeed, that's exactly what they proceeded to do."
Billy was not the girlfriend of the quarterback. He did not mortally injure himself taking drugs or driving too fast. He was narrowly and specifically in the second, "inspirational outsider" category.
So what is so fantastic about the Manti Te'o story? It is all three narratives, all in one. It's Love Story meets Icarus meets inspirational outsider. It wasn't enough that Manti's love affair be doomed, that his girlfriend had leukemia, and that he drew from her death the inspiration to go out and get 12 tackles in the crucial defeat of Michigan State. She also had to be severely injured in a car accident. It's a combo platter! It's so over-the-top I am in awe. You couldn't be more right that this is an "aggressively modern" scandal. Why would anyone in the 21st century settle for just one played-out story line?
What's not modern, though, is the made-up part. "Billy," Knute Rockne's son? Totally healthy back home in South Bend . . .
I was doing some digging last night on twitter, I can't post it from this computer, but there was a guy and a girl joking about Lennay back in late Nov/early Dec. A lot of thought has been they've had something to do with it. Teh guy, who's name is @jayRahz if anyone wants to look some of the other tweets, said that he and the girl (ceeweezy858 or something) we're hoaxed and busted the guy behing Lennay Kekau back in 2008. They were joking about it, because they knew it was fake. Another tweet said that they didn't know anything about it, until they saw the story of her dying and her name attached and recognized the name.
The more and more comes out, it looks like Te'o got duped, didn't know how to get out of the situation, so he just kept it up until it all came out. Should have just came out and admitted to it.
When is Te'o going to address any of this? I get that it's embarrassing, but the longer he waits, the more guilty it makes him look. Maybe it will eventually be proven that he was in fact duped, but I haven't yet seen anything substantial that shows he was duped. Most of the circumstantial evidence implies he was in on it, IMHO. So many things would have to be true for him to have honestly been duped. Seems hard to believe to me. OTOH, him being in on it is a pretty simple explanation and makes everything very believable.
If Lennay Kekau has been around since atleast 2008, a year before Te'o "met" her, I have a hard time believing that Te'o had any part of creating the situation. Combine that with other NFL players saying they phsiycally met a girl pretending to be her. The TMZ story is pretty sick. Having a lady meet your "sister" and then killing her off a month later.
I acknowledged he lied. I'm not trying to absolve him of that. It's a lot more understandable seeing a guy in a bad situation not knowing exactly what to do, rather than seeing a guy create the situation for personal gain. Both are crappy situations, but one is a lot better than the other.

Philadelphia • The father of a 16-year-old Philadelphia girl who says she was mocked by her geometry teacher for wearing a Mitt Romney T-shirt says his children will not be going back to the school.
Samantha Pawlucy briefly returned to Charles Carroll High School in the city's Port Richmond section Tuesday. That's after she says she was mocked last week by her teacher for wearing the shirt supporting the Republican presidential candidate.
But her father, Richard Pawlucy, tells The Philadelphia Inquirer his daughter never actually made it to class. Instead, she went into the school offices following a rally held by her supporters. He says she felt uncomfortable.

First of all, thanks for the great material on the site, it has helped me tremendously during the last year or so. Although I'm probably into my 50th rereading of all the articles I'm still learning new stuff.
To my problem. I feel that I'm getting the hang of the bent elbow technique. However, I still throw longer with a full reach back, at best around 350' but on average more like 310'. With the bent elbow I'm averaging around 270' although my accuracy is definitely better.
When reading on increasing my distance (using a bent elbow) I get the impression it's a lot about the active uncurling of my elbow, but I just don't seem to be able to do that. Performing the throw, the arm motion is too fast to be able to incorporate any active uncurling of the elbow. Am I doing something wrong or are there other ways to increase my distance to beat my full reach back distance.
PS I also have noticable better performance in headwind with the bent elbow technique, plus it's a lot harder to turn over discs, although that may be due to the fact that I'm not able to deliver the same disc speed that way. DS

"I enjoy talking with very old people. They have gone before us on a road by which we, too, may have to travel and I think we do well to learn from them what it is like." -Socrates, in Plato's The Republic.
The term "successful aging" first appeared in professional literature in 1961, in the inaugural issue of The Gerontologist. While much has been written about the concept of "successful aging" since then, there is not a single universally adopted or accepted definition of successful aging. A problem using the term "successful" is that people who are facing challenges and limitations might view their aging as failure.
|At the Center for Aging with Dignity, we believe terms such as "avoidance of disease" and "freedom from chronic illness" may not be appropriate since we know that an estimated 80% of people age 65 and older have one or more chronic illnesses. We suggest a more appropriate reference may be the ability to manage chronic illness so that it does not limit aspects of daily living.
Other commonly used terms, all of which convey different meanings, include "Normal Aging", "Aging Well", and "Healthy Aging". These type of terms are often used in an attempt to provide a model of aging and can include longevity, health, happiness, or satisfaction. In a landmark book by Rowe and Kahn (1998) based on their MacArthur study of 1,189 older adults, the researchers describe a model of successful aging that has served as an often-referenced model of aging. The authors conclude that the following elements comprise "successful aging":
According to an article entitled "Successful Aging" (Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, July 2002), specific predictors of successful aging include: regular physical activity, social engagement, freedom from chronic illness and feeling of self-worth.
Recent expanded ideas of successful aging include:
Clearly not everyone will meet the various criteria listed above. That is not to suggest that these people are aging failures or cannot age well. The challenge and opportunity is to steer people away from the negative aspects of aging if they do not believe they "fit" into a criteria or have the potential to do so.
(All of the above answers are TRUE. Take heart in the belief that each individual is unique and their aging experinece will also be unique.)
Success is in the eye of the beholder. A study by the Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research on Aging surveyed older adults about medical and psychological health. Many participants had illnesses such as cancer, heart disease and diabetes (those often seen as "sick" old people) and 25% had mental health problems. Despite illness and disability, they rated themselves as 8.4 on a scale of 1-10 as successful agers! The authors conclude that "optimism and effective coping styles are perhaps more important than other measures such as health and wellness. Moreover, the best indicator of aging successfully was not physical health, but attitude.
GERO GEMS is a monthly publication of the Center for Aging with Dignity. Compiled by Evelyn Fitzwater, this publication is designed to raise awareness of aging and related issues impacting health care professionals and our society as a whole.

Texas Hosts International Training Course
WACO — Texas Parks and Wildlife Department is hosting the first Comprehensive Boat Accident Investigation course of 2014. This course provided by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) funded through a United States Coast Guard grant brings 60 law enforcement officers from all across the United States to one location to train on special techniques for investigating boating accidents.
"This course gives law enforcement officers the opportunity to develop their skills in boat accident investigation. The course also provides critical data to help shape boating safety regulations across the country," said Gary Haupt the Program Manager for the Accident Investigation Course for the NASBLA BOAT Program.
This class is being attended by a very diverse group from federal, state and local jurisdictions from states as far away as Alaska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Florida, and Virginia and one international attendee from Canada. The instructor cadre includes Marine Patrol Officers from Missouri, Wisconsin, Florida and Texas.
"The officers who complete this training receive a solid foundation in understanding the complexities of boating accident investigations. They'll have more confidence in conducting investigations because they'll have a better background. We are working towards a more consistent approach and this course provides a national training standard." said Assistant Commander Cody Jones, TPWD Texas Boating Law Administrator.
"In Texas, our game wardens will leverage this training within our STORM Team which conducts marine accident investigations and forensic reconstruction." said Col. Craig Hunter, TPWD Law Enforcement Director. "The goal is to improve water safety and reduce water related fatalities. Networking and training with this group of officer's helps us to improve what we do every day and we sincerely appreciate our partnership with the United States Coast Guard and NASBLA."
B-roll of training activities is available on request. Contact Whitney Bishop at (512)389-4531.

Former California lawmakers Steve Peace and Jeff Marston of San Diego have filed paperwork to launch a statewide ballot initiative that would allow primary voters to cast a ballot for their preferred presidential candidate, regardless of party.
Under the proposal, political parties would still have the option of holding a presidential primary only open to party members. However, they would have to fund the counting of the votes — a cost currently covered by government.
Currently, parties have the option of holding open or closed primaries. In the latest presidential primary, Democrats opened their ballot to all voters while Republicans required GOP affiliation to participate.
The funding requirement would likely force both parties to hold open primaries, although that decision would technically remain optional.
Peace, a Democrat, and Marston, a Republican, say the goal is to end public financing of what amounts to internal members-only elections.
As chairmen of the Independent Voter Project, they were among the chief sponsors of the state's new primary system under Proposition 14 in 2010.
For state elections, Proposition 14 allows voters to choose candidates regardless of their party preference with the top two vote getters advancing to the general election. Peace said the latest effort essentially extends that process to presidential primaries.
The purpose is to expand the options for independent voters who face a series of barriers designed by parties to depress participation, he said.
California taxpayers also would be off the hook for millions of dollars in costs to administer party central committee contests — the races for little-known partisan groups elected within districts that run local parties and make candidate endorsements. Proponents suggested the parties could use online voting systems.
Tony Krvaric, chairman of the Republican Party of San Diego County, said he feared the measure would wrest away power from ordinary citizens and help elevate special interests that already have disproportionate influence over the political system.
"This whole thing is a sham for people who don't want the average person to have a voice, which is what you get through political parties," Krvaric said.
Nixing funding for central committee elections could cause other problems, he said.
"Now, anyone can make it onto a committee," he said. "Do they want the committee setting the rules …Do they want the chairman picking members?"
Francine Busby, chairwoman of the San Diego County Democratic Party, said the group has been working on solutions for some time after becoming aware of efforts to do away with public funding for internal party contests including races for central committee.
"At the presidential level, Democrats have opened our primary to voters without party preference since the 2004 election," said Tenoch Flores, a spokesman for the California Democratic Party. "As Republican voter registration continues to shrink and more Californians identify with Democrats, or instead register as no-party preference, we believe our candidates are well-suited to attract both Democratic and NPP votes in future elections."
San Diego County elections officials have pegged the cost to certify central committee candidates and operate the elections at $400,000. Former Registrar Deborah Seiler was among a handful of county officials across the state to promote a similar concept, albeit without the component to open up presidential primaries.
California county elections officials have long been required to conduct elections for the party posts. The Libertarian Party has opted out of county run balloting in the state.
Peace and Marston have submitted a request for a title and summary, and would need to collect about 807,600 signatures to qualify for the ballot.

" Brand: Morrisons / Type: Sauces "
I am hoping that most people will agree with me when I say that Chips and Curry Sauce is an awesome meal, and one that almost can not be beaten. I usually get my chips and curry sauce from the local chip shop, but this can get a bit expensive and I thought I would try just making it at home instead, which also helps to control the calories!!
I usually shop in Morrisons, so when I went there to do my shopping, I made a note to look out for a jar of curry sauce, and I found the Morrisons Value Curry Sauce at just 9p a jar!!! I was a little shocked to see it was so cheap, and I did wonder if it just tasted awful or had something wrong with it due to the price, but I thought for the fact it was only 9p for a jar, it was worth a try.
Next time I made some chips, I took this jar out of the cupboard, and put some of the sauce into a bowl, popped it into the microwave and prepared to eat my chips and curry sauce. From the first bite I was amazed that this sauce could cost only 9p as it tasted really good, and was almost the same taste as you would get from a fish and chip shop!
The sauce itself is a golden brown colour and is quite thick in consistency. It has a wonderful aroma to it, and it filled my kitchen with a nice warm scent, which lingered for about half an hour. There is not much spice to this sauce, so it is most likely suitable for most people. I have even since tried this with chicken to make an actual curry, and it worked wonderfully!
The only downside to this curry sauce is the fact that it is quite high in calories, like most curry sauces. I enjoy this as an occasional treat now, but I still love the taste of it, and I always have a jar of this in my kitchen cupboard, as it is something I do not like to be without.
You can only buy this sauce in Morrisons supermarkets, and for the whole 9p you pay for it, it truly is worth the money!! It has a long shelf life, can be stored in the fridge after opening and it tastes wonderful. This really is a good sauce, and if you like a nice mild curry sauce, this one is the way to go.
I give this curry sauce a 5 out of 5 stars and I totally recommend it, just remember to watch the amount of calories.
When I moved in with my boyfriend we decided that he would take on the responsibility of doing the weekly shop. I have to admit in the past and even to an extent now I am somewhat of a brand snob. My boyfriend on the other hand has sought to keep our food shopping bills as low as possible by switching branded products to the supermarkets own brands and quite often I have been pleasantly surprised.
I believe this curry sauce currently costs around 12p, although several months ago it was as cheap as 7p! I think the price alone justifies trying the produce out. Appearance wise this product is nothing special. It comes in a glass jar(440g) with a gold lid and yellow label. The label carries all the relevant information you would expect on there such as ingredients, nutritional advice and warnings for those who have allergies. This product is suitable for vegetarians, but not for those who have nut, milk, mustard or sulphite allergies. I would also add if you don't like sultanas to avoid this product, although there aren't that many so you may want to pick them out.
The instructions on the label advise what to do in order to cook an actual curry, however we have never used the sauce in this way. Often we use it to pour over our chips or fish as a sauce as it only takes a couple of minutes to warm through. The colour of the sauce is a dark yellow and the consistency is quite runny, surprisingly this does not reflect the taste which I was worried might be a bit watery especially as we did not add any further ingredients. I would compare the product similar to that which you would get in a chippy. Although the sauce carries a slight kick it is not overly strong or too hot for anyone who is not a fan of spicy food.
This product exceeded my expectations and I honestly believe if you like curry sauce then you can't go wrong with this product. If I had not known before hand then I would not have guessed this was a supermarkets own brand product.
In the past I have had both good and bad experiences with Morrisons' value brands. At just 12p a jar, I firmly believed that this curry sauce would fall into the latter category. After all, we as consumers are conditioned to believe that quality is proportional to price. Ergo, how could this sauce ever compete with the brands that cost over a quid more? Still, the lack of money in my pocket overrode any philosophical concerns I had, and so, with great trepidation, I took my jar of curry sauce to the till and handed over my hard earned 12p.
And that's when something odd happened. I was expecting sneers of disapproval from the young girl behind the till. Instead, she looked at the jar and, beaming broadly, informed me that this was their best-selling jar of curry sauce and how she had heard wonderful things about it from regular customers. My fears eased somewhat by this surprising revelation, I took my newly acquired jar home and set about to create a curry extravaganza.
Pre cook
From the moment you open the lid you are greeted with a strong, yet mild curry aroma. From the smell you get the impression of a sauce that is not too spicy, but instead rather sweet.
Pouring the sauce into a pan or oven-proof dish is when you first get a sense of the consistency of the sauce. When it's in the glass jar, the viscosity of the sauce appears quite thick, albeit with apparently few ingredients like sultanas and onions. Once free from its glass prison, the sauce is discovered to be surprisingly runny, although the initial impression of a minimalist approach to ingredients is spot on.
The cook
This sauce can either be cooked on the hob by pouring over browned chicken and simmering for 20 minutes, or it can be poured over chicken in an oven-proof dish and cooked in the oven for 35 minutes. I've tried both approaches and in terms of taste have found no difference in whichever method is chosen. If you do decide to heat on the hob, take special care not to bring the sauce to the boil. As the sauce consists mainly of a runny liquid, boiling will cause much of it to evaporate and leave your chicken looking quite bare!
The taste test
Despite the recommendations of fellow Morrissons shoppers, I was still unsure of how tasty this sauce would be. However, from my first mouthful to my last, I was constantly pleased. Yes, the sauce doesn't contain too many sultanas or onions or anything else for that matter. But, this actually works to the sauces advantage. It makes those times when you do taste an unexpected sultana more delicious as your taste buds are surprised by the sudden taste sensation.
The sauce itself is rather mild, almost sweet but without the sickliness that overly sweet curries, such as Kormas, can sometimes induce. The thinness of the sauce may be a bone of contention for some but this is easily remedied by adding your own ingredients to the mix, such as onion, pepper, etc.
Overall, leave your preconceptions at the door; this is actually a good quality product and perfect for those who like their curry mild.
Allergy Advice:
Contains: Milk, mustard and sulphite.
Produced in a factory which uses nuts and sesame ingredients.
Suitable for vegetarians

When it comes to curry I love the stuff though I'm not going to pretend I'm a master chef in the making cos I'm not! I tend to buy a jar of cooking sauce for ease and fry off some chicken add my favoured chickpeas to it and voila job done.
I'll buy any type of curry sauce really as I don't have a preference and when I spotted this product in Morrisons I realised I have tried and written about many other value curry sauces of this type so for 12p I had to try this!
The Packaging:
440g see-through glass jar with a gold twist on/off lid to the top of it. Around the middle there is a yellow label and in dark green writing I'm told it is Morrisons 'Value' Curry Sauce, the size is stated (as I've listed already), I'm told it is suitable for Vegetarians and there is an at a glance nutritional chart on there. On the back of the label other information includes ingredients and allergy advice being listed there is a full nutritional rundown chart on there, I'm told how to store it and how to heat it through and contact details for Morrisons are given. It's a cheap looking jar but I do like being able to see the sauce through the jar and it's informative enough.
The Sauce Itself:
Well you can use this as a dipping sauce with chips or something in which case all you need to do then is to gently heat this sauce in a saucepan for a few minutes or of course you can boil or fry up ingredients and then add this sauce to it, boil it all up and then turn the heat down and allow it to simmer for around 20 minutes.
The sauce itself is a light brown colour and rather runny really. As you open the jar up you get a distinctive smell of curry. The sauce is rather smooth and glossy with just a couple of sultanas in it and little lumps of onion but it isn't a chunky sauce don't get me wrong.
Myself I fry off chicken, onions and peppers and when cooked through I drain the fat off and dump this sauce over it all and simmer it for a few minutes with added pre-cooked chick peas. Of course you can use any meat you wish to or vegetables or soya products or a combination of anything.
When cooked through the sauce is rather thin so I find with this I need alot of ingredients to sap up the sauce but ingredients do sop it up a little bit.
Taste wise well it's mild curry sauce with a hint of sweetness to it and sometimes you can detect the subtle hint of chilli though it isn't blow your brains out hotness!
It's a well blended curry sauce and it isn't bad quality. It is flavoursome and for me this is a rather good base sauce for a curry. I like to add my own bits and bobs to this and to experiment with it. I like to add my own herbs and spices and things to it and sort of pep up it up a bit! Not a bad sauce and it's a great price for sure!

Ask Emily: What does the Affordable Care Act mean to me?
FAQ: Affordable Care Act
Q: What is Covered California?
Through Covered California, both individuals and small businesses can compare different health insurance plans.
Individuals can learn if they qualify for federal financial assistance that can lower the cost of health insurance. Individuals also will be able to find out if they are eligible for health programs like Medi-Cal.
In addition, employers with fewer than 25 full-time workers will be able to find out if they qualify for a small business tax credit that can help cover the cost of providing employee health care.
To learn more about the organization that runs Covered California, please visit www.hbex.ca.gov.
Q: Who can use Covered California to purchase insurance?
Small employers with 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees also will be able to purchase insurance through Covered California.
Q: When can I purchase coverage through Covered California?
You must purchase health insurance during this open-enrollment period in order to obtain coverage in 2014. If you do not enroll during this period, you will not be assured a health plan will cover you — either through Covered California or in the private market.
If you have a life-changing event such as the loss of a job, death of a spouse or birth of a child, you are eligible for special enrollment within 60 days of the event. The next open-enrollment period begins in October 2014 for coverage in 2015.
Q: What kind of health insurance will be offered through Covered California?
These Qualified Health Plans are guaranteed to provide essential levels of coverage and consumer protections required by the Affordable Care Act. These plans will be offered in categories based on the percentage of covered expenses paid by the health plan.
The health plan choices offered by Covered California will be as good as you can get anywhere Ł— even if you are not eligible for a subsidy. Health insurance companies must offer the same products at an identified price whether they are offered through Covered California or in the open market.
In addition to these traditional health plans, Covered California will offer what is called "catastrophic coverage," which helps protect a person from financial disaster in the event of a serious and expensive medical emergency.
Catastrophic coverage is not designed for day-to-day medical expenses such as doctor visits, prescription medicines or even emergency room visits. It is designed to cover excessive medical bills that occur above the limit that you would be able to manage financially.
Covered California will provide catastrophic coverage those up to age 30, or those individuals who can provide a certification that they are without affordable coverage or are experiencing hardship.
Q: How will Covered California make it easier for me to compare different plans?
As the metal category increases in value, so does the percent of medical expenses that a health plan will cover. These expenses are usually incurred at the time of health care services – when you visit the doctor or the emergency room, for example.
The health plans that cover more of your medical expenses usually have a higher monthly payment but you will pay less whenever you receive medical care.
You can choose to pay a higher monthly cost so that when you need medical care, you pay less. Or you can choose to pay a lower monthly cost so that when you need medical care, you pay more. You can choose the level of coverage that best meets your health needs and budget.
For more information about levels of coverage, visit the CoveredCA.com page on individual and family plans, http://bit.ly/14SqOCs.
Q: How much will it cost to purchase health insurance through Covered California?
Covered California is the only place where you can use these tax credits to make insurance more affordable. Many Californians who have lower incomes will also benefit from lower costs in whatever plan they choose.
Our cost calculator can help you determine about how much you will pay for insurance coverage, including any subsidies you might qualify for.
Q: What kind of help is available to help lower the cost of insurance?
1. Tax credits: Tax credits are available to lower the cost of health coverage for individuals and families who meet certain income requirements and do not have health insurance from an employer or a government program.
When you enroll in a health plan through Covered California, tax credits can be immediately applied to the insurance premium, which reduces the amount you pay each month.
2. Cost-sharing subsidies: Cost-sharing subsidies reduce the amount of out-of-pocket health care expenses an individual or family has to pay. These expenses might include the copayments for health care services or other costs.
3. Medi-Cal assistance: Starting in 2014, the state of California is planning to expand the Medicaid program (called Medi-Cal in California) to cover people under age 65, including people with disabilities, with income of less than $15,000 for a single individual and $31,180 for a family of four. The coverage is free for those who qualify and part of the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.
To find out more about tax credits and cost-sharing subsidies, visit http://bit.ly/110uf6D.
Q: Am I eligible for tax credits?
Eligibility for tax credits is based on a standard, called the federal poverty level, that looks at the family income and the number of people in the family.
The size of the tax credit is based on a sliding scale, with those who make less money getting a larger financial assistance to lower the cost of their insurance coverage.
Individuals and families who make between 138 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level may be eligible for a tax credit. This means that an individual making up to $44,680 and a family of four earning up to $92,200 may be eligible for a tax credit.

Commission takes ambitious steps to make EU law lighter, simpler and cheaper Published on: 02/10/2013
The Commission takes another important step in ensuring that EU legislation is fit for purpose. In a Communication the Commission sets out in a concrete way, policy area by policy area, where it will take further action to simplify or withdraw EU laws, ease the burden on businesses and facilitate implementation.
The Commission also announced today the intention to publish a scoreboard to track progress at European and national level in this regard. This exercise is at the heart of the Commission's Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT).
Whereas regulation at EU level is essential in many areas, it is often accused of stifling businesses, especially the smallest ones, or of interfering too much in citizens' daily lives.
74% of Europeans believe that the EU generates too much red tape (EB79). In response to that concern, the Commission has made a concerted effort over the past few years to streamline legislation and reduce regulatory burdens.
In his 2013 State of the Union address on 11 September, President Barroso stressed the importance of smart regulation and declared that the European Union needs to be "big on big things and smaller on small things".

Annette Rodriguez
Bronx native Annette Rodriguez was diagnosed with lupus seven years ago, at age 11. After a difficult, initial bout with the disease, Annette has been free of flare-ups for the past four years. Today, she's a pre-med freshman at New York University, and there's no indication that lupus (or anything else!) will prevent her from reaching her goals.
What led to your diagnosis?
Annette: In 1998, after an intense summer studying at an academic enhancement program, I went to Puerto Rico to relax before starting the new school year. I began to feel very weak while I was there. I lost my appetite. I had a mild fever all the time. One day, while at the beach, my cheeks became a really shiny tomato red. My mother knew that something was wrong. When we returned to New York, we went to three different hospitals. I was misdiagnosed a few times, until finally I was told I had lupus.
What's it like to get sick with lupus when you're a kid?
Annette: I was relieved to finally find out what I had, but it was also frightening because no one in my family had any idea what lupus was. My family was very supportive, but, at school, life became difficult. I had the butterfly rash on my cheeks, I didn't eat and I had migraines almost daily. As my condition progressed, other children began to pass on nasty rumors about my health.
Once I acknowledged the fact I had lupus, my life became much easier. I am determined not to let it be the deciding factor in how my life story is written because I am so much more than lupus. There are so many interests I want to pursue and so many skills I want to develop. I will never let lupus take over and hinder me from accomplishing my goals.
The Foundation sponsored you and your family at Camp Sunshine. Did being at camp help you cope with your disease?
Annette: Camp Sunshine was awesome. The first time I went was also the first time I was in a place with other people who had lupus. Up until then, I was in denial about having lupus, since it was difficult to accept I would never be normal again. But going to camp and meeting so many people with lupus from my area helped me feel like I wasn't so different after all—and that I was not alone.
How do your friends relate to your lupus?
Annette: No one can really know what I'm going through, not even a doctor. But it has been a blessing to have friends who really try to understand my condition and support me through it all.
What are your plans for the future?
Annette: Last fall I started my undergraduate studies at New York University, where I plan on a double major in Journalism and Anthropology, with a minor in History—while maintaining a pre-med concentration so I can attend medical school. Ultimately, I want to become a Pediatric Rheumatologist so I can help others going through health situations similar to mine.

In the garden: Oct. 6
Updated 10:13 am, Sunday, October 7, 2012
Photo: File Photo
Get more vegetables from your garden by applying one to two tablespoons of 19-5-9 slow-release nitrogen fertilizer once a week on developing vegetable plants.
Fall is the ideal time for establishing plants. Their roots grow through fall and winter, and the plants take off in spring. New trees, shrubs and most landscape plants would be happier in being established throughout our mild winters then throughout our extremely hot summers.
One of the best ways to minimize and control weeds in turf grass is through proper lawn maintenance. Weeds can't thrive in thick turf.

The Plot Thickens in 3-D Systems
On Friday I wrote a story about 3-D printing companies Stratasys (SSYS) and 3-D Systems (DDD). I had been reluctant to suggest jumping into positions in either, given that both have had lengthy run-ups this year, but said I liked the long-term potential for both.
Since then, a financial-news website has questioned accounting practices related to some of the 3-D Systems' acquisitions, and shares of the company dropped 8.3% on Monday as a result. It was the second report in less than a month to put the 3-D Systems' growth rate under the microscope....460 more words left in this article.

(UPDATED COVERAGE Sept. 17) Ready Pac Foods has begun retail shipments of eight Disney-themed salads and mini-meals, part of its Cool Cuts line.
Irwindale, Calif.-based Ready Pac announced the expansion a week after another aimed at school foodservice offering five salads and four fruit and vegetable snacks. Those Cool Cuts had no Disney messaging.
The salads consist of iceberg and romaine lettuces; proteins like chicken, turkey, pepperoni or cheese; grains; and dressing. They include temporary tattoos matching the character on the label. The small meals come with a Disney sticker in the tray.
The Disney items began shipping the first week of September, according to a news release, and include:
- Pizzeria salad with romaine lettuce
- Taco salad with corn, black beans and shredded carrots
- Harvest salad with iceberg and romaine lettuces, apples, carrots and pretzels
- Caesar salad with romaine lettuce
- Veggies, chicken and pretzels with broccoli florets
- Turkey, crackers and cheese with carrots and grapes
- Pizza bites with dried tart cherries
- Apples, ham and yogurt with red and green apple slices
All items meet Walt Disney Co. nutritional guidelines.
"There's a huge opportunity for retailers to generate incremental sales from selling nutritious items for kids," Tristan Simpson, Ready Pac director of marketing, said in the release. "These new items fit the bill with parents looking for more nutritious and convenient options for their kids."
Ready Pac is backing the Disney Cool Cuts launch with retail point-of-sale materials and instantly redeemable coupons. A social media campaign is planned, including a program that will donate up to 250,000 meals through Feeding America.
There are in-pack codes for music downloads for the target consumer, children from elementary through middle school.

Muskingum College named to "Best National Liberal Arts Colleges' List"
Muskingum College was once again named in the "best national liberal arts colleges" rankings released today by U.S. News & World Report. The listing will appear in the 2007 edition of the newsstand book, America's Best Colleges, which goes on sale on Monday, August 21, and on www.usnews.com.
This marks the sixth year that Muskingum has been named to the list of national colleges. Prior to 2001, Muskingum had been a regular member on the list of outstanding regional colleges in the Midwest.
"U.S. News and World Report's recognition adds to a number of other external validations of the College's excellence," said Muskingum College President Anne C. Steele. She cited a recent $700,000 challenge grant from The Kresge Foundation of Troy, Michigan, as well as the recent accreditation of the College's undergraduate and graduate education programs by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
The Long Magenta Line…The Campaign for Muskingum College, a comprehensive capital campaign for facilities, operating support and endowment with a goal of $55 million, is in its final year. To date, alumni and friends have demonstrated their loyalty and commitment with gifts totaling a record $51 million—more than the College has ever before raised at one time.
New undergraduate academic programs include engineering, criminal justice, media arts and graphic design, as well as a master's degree in information strategy, systems, and technology.
Located in New Concord, Ohio, and founded in 1837, Muskingum College offers baccalaureate programs in the liberal arts and sciences to 1,700 undergraduate students in a residential college setting. The College also offers master's level programs to more than 1,300 graduate students.

Apple Stock Plunges to $400 After Supplier Warns of Weak Sales

Stock briefly dips below $400 USD, analyst predicts earnings miss
After quarters of confounding Wall Street "expert" analysts with better-than-expected earnings, could Apple, Inc. (
) be on the verge of a highly uncharacteristic miss of its own earnings target? That's what Citigroup Inc. (
) analyst Glen Yeung predicted in his
research note
, citing supplier information as pointing to weaker-than-expected iPhone and iPad sales.
That prediction has been boosted by Cirrus Logic Inc. (
), which provides audio chips for the iPhone and iPad. Cirrus
investors Wednesday in its fiscal fourth quarter earnings results that its margins had weakened and that it was taking a large charge on unsold inventory of audio chips.
Cirrus's chip stock fluctuates primarily with the sales of its largest customer Apple's devices. Thus the large stock of unsold chips indicates weak sales of Apple's flagship devices.
Vernon Essi Jr., an analyst at Needham & Comp. told
The Wall Street Journal
, "[The warning] indicates that the recent fears of Apple's lackluster iPhone demand...are warranted."
Since the passing of iconic leader and late CEO Steven P. Jobs, Apple has continued to grow steadily under the quiet leadership of new CEO Tim Cook, but some fear the company is losing its marketing luster. Apple's faces tough competition from Android rivals --
particularly Samsung
Electronics Comp., Ltd. (
) and Google Inc. (GOOG) -- who have been more aggressive in updating their products' hardware and software.
Apple CEO Tim Cook has voiced concern about his company's plunging share prices.
[Image Source: Bloomberg]
Apple, which last year bumped the screen size of its iPhone to 4-inches, has largely been coasting on a "if-it-isn't-broken-don't-fix-it" approach to its operating system. While sales were strong last quarter, investors
hammered the company's stock
, concerned about
weakening margins
For a while it looked like $420 was a solid floor that the stock would resist breaking through. But amid the supplier warning Apple's stock plunged briefly below $400 USD. It is currently trading around $403 USD. Apple has lost over a quarter trillion dollars in market capitalization over the last half year, since hitting a record $700 USD per share last September.
Overall, the tech sector was down on Wednesday, but Apple's stock sunk more than most, dipping over 5 percent on the bad news. Rival Google Inc.'s (
) stock is trading around $780 USD, down ~1.5 percent. Google's market capitalization is currently around two-thirds that of Apple, as its stock hovers around record highs of $800 USD per share.

Injured Mauer ramps up baseball activities
MINNEAPOLIS -- Twins first baseman Joe Mauer continued to take ground balls before Monday's game against the Indians, and he started swinging the bat on Sunday.
Mauer, who has been on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right oblique since July 2, is starting to ramp up his baseball activities, but there's still no timetable for his return.
"He did fine today," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He took some ground balls and threw to second base. Yesterday, he did a little bit of both with swinging and doing that. We'll let him do that again tomorrow with some dry swings, as they say."
Gardenhire has been encouraged by his first baseman's progress in recent days, as swinging the bat was a big step for Mauer, who will move on to hitting balls off a tee and soft toss before hitting live pitching.
"He gets a little sore after these things but it's progressing good," Gardenhire said. "He's coming along."

If you are a lover of vintage meets sassy, pink mixing with black and white, then today's steal, the Teresa Collins Posh collection is just for you.
When I first saw this collection I was instantly drawn to the pink glitter paper. I knew that I wanted to use some of the glitter paper on each of the cards that I created. After all, life just can't have enough bling!
This collection has such a wide variety of patterns between the pink, black and white colors that it was fun to see how different I could make the cards while keeping them similar.
The first card I made by adding some 3D butterflies which I cut on on my Silhouette.
Next I created a card using the butterfly chipboard from the Posh collection.
Lastly, I used a sentiment from the chipboard pieces and finished it off with a black flower embellishment which I've had for quite some time.
I always love a collection which is versatile enough to use up items from my stash! :)
Don't forget to keep posting your Monday Card Madness creations to our Facebook fan page or your own personal blog. Leave a link here on our blog for the August cards by this Friday, September 2nd at 11:59pm MST in order to be eligible for our monthly drawing.
We are almost ready to wrap up our 3rd ScrapbookSteals card swap. If you are participating and haven't had a chance to send out your cards yet, make sure they get sent soon! Also don't forget to send me an email letting me know to be on the lookout for them.
I hope you all have a fantastic day! Be sure to check in tomorrow for another fun How To'sday tutorial.

On a fateful day in 1957, the country saw the Boston Celtics and the St. Louis Hawks face off in one of the most dramatic NBA games in history. But the score at the final buzzer told only part of the story. Celtics rookie Bill Russell, traded by the Hawks because of his race, emerged as a new sports hero. Boston's coach Red Auerbach went on to become the ultimate winner and builder of championship teams. And the city of Boston and its beloved Celtics had their first NBA championship-and the makings of a dynasty.

Will you no longer eat at this restaurant?
I don't usually eat fast food - but I don't think I want to support this type of restaurant.
What do you think?
By Dylan Stableford, Yahoo! News
The president of Chick-fil-A, the fast food chain with more than 1,600 restaurants and $4 billion in revenue, has come out against same-sex marriage.
"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,'" Dan Cathy, the company's president and chief operating officer, said in a recent radio interview. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."
In an interview with the Baptist Press published this week, Cathy doubled down on his stance against same-sex unions.
"Guilty as charged," Cathy said. "We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that."
"We know that it might not be popular with everyone," he added, "but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."
The company, founded by Dan's father, Truett Cathy, in 1946, has a history of "unapologetic social conservatism," as the Daily Caller put it. All 1,608 of its stores are closed on Sundays, a day of rest for most Christians.
According to Queerty.com, the WinShape Foundation—Chick-fil-A's charitable arm—donated more than $1.1 million between 2003 and 2008 to anti-LGBT groups, doubling that amount to $2 million in 2009.
Earlier this year, students at Northeastern University protested a proposal to put a Chick-fil-A on its Boston campus because of the company's history of supporting anti-gay organizations. The school abandoned its plan.

For a horrible minute there I thought that pic was a response here instead of copied from another site. The horror!
Yeah exactly - the horror!
You're right. I should have labeled it. The more I look at it, the more creeped out I get.
Another dumbass voice heard from. No surprise here. via joe.my.god. Supposedly this will lead to multimillions more going to antigay causes. If you can believe Cain.
But he didn't say, "multimillions", I think the word was "some" ... like in $1 or $100 or $1,000 or $1,000,000. Why not say, "I contribute it all to support of bigotry?! I wonder what he would be saying if Mr. Chick-fil-A spoke of blacks as he does of GLBT? Scapegoating just keeps moving around, without reason, without compassion, without appreciation for diversity.
Good points, all of them. Hilarious if he gives $1. Bet it will be a lot more though.
I agree Joan. Cain also just lies about everything. Remember when he said he was just "friends" with that woman and he was giving her money? What a joke. Anyone knows if you are giving someone money you are more than just pals. What a big fat liar!!
I can't believe people are that gullible.
Oh noes! Not Hermain Cain!
It's been quiet lately.
Maybe Chick-Fil-A is trying to lay low.
Not really. The extremist "offense de jure" has moved to something else. In the age of "Oh, that's so ten minutes ago" there are new phony issues to be be outraged over. Kind of like Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984, at the Hate Week festival. People are screaming over the hated enemy of Eurasia, when they're suddenly told the real enemy is Eastasia. And, like blind sheep they are, they all go along with it. It's not really about the particular enemy (in this case LGBT), it's the idea of keeping the hatred alive and targeting a new enemy when the need arises.

Sushi appetizers at neighborhood sushi restaurants might soon be served in brightly colored wrappers made from familiar vegetables and fruits, offering a fresh alternative to the traditional seaweed. And the trendy, American-style sushi delicacies--sized, shaped and sliced like typical sushi but made with innovative ingredients--also may be enhanced by the new wraps.
Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists at Albany, Calif., and research partner Origami Foods, LLC, based in Pleasanton, Calif., are experimenting with dozens of delicious, attractively colored wraps. For example, they've tested a bright-orange carrot-based wrap to encircle a cucumber, garlic and rice filling, and a deep-red tomato and basil wrap to hold a spicy tuna and rice filling.
The wraps, which can be produced as soft, pliable sheets, are made with infrared drying and other leading-edge technologies, according to Tara H. McHugh, who heads the ARS Processed Foods Research Unit at Albany.
McHugh, Albany colleague Carl W. Olsen--both food technologists--and Origami Foods owner and president Matthew de Bord have applied for a product patent. The tasty, imaginative wraps rank as the newest in the line of fruit- and vegetable-based edibles from McHugh's laboratory.
Other combinations include:
All the wraps are at least 75 percent vegetable or fruit, plus other wholesome natural ingredients. Besides being fun to eat, the sushi-style delicacies are ideal for weight-conscious Americans trying to control portion size.
The team is fine-tuning wrap formulations, experimenting with different combinations of wrap flavorings and fillings. Two well-known sushi chefs, among other food industry experts, are helping.
ARS is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific research agency.

The newly formed North Santa Clara County Gang Task Force engaged in its inaugural operation Oct. 12, conducting a series of probation and parole searches in Mountain View and Sunnyvale.
The task force's mission is to enable officers from participating agencies to proactively and jointly address gang violence in northern Santa Clara County.
In addition to the Mountain View Police Department and Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety, the Los Altos Police Department, the Palo Alto Police Department and the Stanford Department of Public Safety took part in the searches.
More than 60 officers from 10 agencies fanned out in six teams to visit multiple residences in both cities. Officers checked the homes of 22 gang members and gang affiliates who were on probation or parole. They made 13 arrests on a variety of charges, including possession of deadly weapons, possession for sale of narcotics and probation violations.
The task force plans to contact gang members and gang affiliates living in other participating cities and jurisdictions.

Good article, I'm not comparing this streak to the Lakers because I wasn't alive so I don't know, I'm just looking at the streak as a single record and how they got that record.
Here is a good point in the article:The guy forgot to mention, Danny, Bynum, Varejao, Noah, Gasol and a bunch of good players Miami didn't play against on their streak.The Heat have needed luck that the Lakers never did. They beat Boston (barely) without Kevin Garnett, Chicago without Derrick Rose and Cleveland (barely) without Kyrie Irving. It has been a squeaky streak.
I would like to compare this Miami streak to the San Antonio one, I bet that one was more impressive.

Weather forecasts kept corn futures under pressure Wednesday. Grain and soy futures reacted poorly to the weekly USDA Crop Progress report. Although the ratings for corn and soybeans matched expectations, traders apparently took a dim view of the results. Moreover, the latest weather forecasts suggested a significant chance of rainfall late next week, which could improve fall harvests and depress prices. September corn closed 4.0 cents lower at $4.94/bushel Wednesday afternoon, while December fell 5.75 cents to $4.695.
The soy complex fell sharply in reaction to the weather news. The weekly Crop Progress report lowered the condition rating for the current soybean crop 4%, thereby matching industry expectations. Overnight losses suggested underlying weakness. That became even more apparent when weather forecasts added a chance of Corn Belt rainfall late next week. September soybeans plunged 37.75 cents to $13.9775/bushel late in Wednesday's session, while November beans dove 34.25 to $13.525. September soyoil sank 0.26 cents to 43.56 cents/pound, and September soymeal plummeted $16.8 to $468.6/ton.
The wheat markets recovered from early Wednesday losses. As one would expect, wheat futures followed corn and soybeans lower in early trading. However, golden grain values came back later in the day. Talk that storms had damaged the Manitoba wheat crop may have supported prices, as did a lack of offers on a snap buying tender from Egypt. September CBOT wheat dipped 2.25 cents to $6.3425/bushel at its Wednesday close, whereas September KCBT wheat rebounded 8.25 cents to $7.05, and September MGE futures jumped 11.25 cents to $7.15.
Cattle futures sagged again Wednesday. After proving surprisingly weak Tuesday afternoon, wholesale beef managed only a slight gain by noon today. These reports probably disappointed traders generally expecting seasonal strength during the days and weeks just ahead. October cattle futures slid 0.20 cents to 126.00 cents/pound in late Wednesday action, while December declined 0.20 cents to 129.90. September feeder cattle slipped 0.15 cents to 157.02 cents/pound, while November was unchanged at 159.90.
Anticipation of tighter short-term supplies boosted hog futures Wednesday. Cash and wholesale prices proved surprisingly strong Tuesday afternoon and pork values rose again around midsession. This morning's Iowa-Southern Minnesota report also stated hog weights below last week, thereby implying heat-stress is hampering hog performance and tightening short-term supplies. October hog futures surged 1.13 cents to 89.12 cents/pound at its Wednesday settlement, while December rallied 0.87 cents to 85.85.
