Health financing reform in Kenya: assessing the social health insurance proposal
Discussion paper, Number 1/2006
Kenya has had a history of health financing policy changes since it gained independence in 1963. Recently, significant preparatory work was done on a new Social Health Insurance Law that, if accepted, would lead to universal health coverage in Kenya after a transition period. One of the key features of this proposed Law is that it ensures access to health care among the poor by granting them full social health insurance membership status.
In this paper, we assess the 'expected' performance of the Social Health Insurance Fund that would be set up if the Law was passed. We also give an overview of how the reform would be financed, and initial responses of different stakeholders to this reform.

Anything good in KC?
Alright, so I just bought my first jeep. Me and a couple buddies would like to go play in the mud. I'm completely stock. Everyone else is close to that point. Where's a good place near Kansas city, Missouri to go mudding or trail riding? Preferably within 20 or 30 miles, so we can do this in a day trip. And preferably free. Somewhere no one minds if we play around? My jeep looks too clean.
And does anyone else want to join us?
nothing free and legal in Kc or within that timeframe unless you know somebody with land. KS Rocks is your closest place at 1.5hrs and Tuttle is next at a little over 2 anywhere else is over 3hrs
Ok thanks. If I find somewhere I'll let you know!
So I found a few things... And I never once saw a no trespassing sign. Does that count?
Just moved up from Florida ,,,,are their any places that you have found?
1 Attachment(s)
I'm going to show this in a picture with google maps. It's the easiest way to show it, because I'm not sure of the address. It's right across the street from a church. All kinds of trails and random fun stuff. It's more exploring than hardcore wheeling but hey it's still fun.
That's not a legal place to wheel. Please don't return, as us 4wd, and vehicle enthusiasts in general already have enough of an issue in KC. So far our 4WD park that was supposed to be built, and new race/drag track have both been put on hold. The more people do stupid stuff to shine a bad light upon us, the harder it is to get anything approved.
I finally found a good, legal place to wheel!!! It's called Jesse James dodge Chrysler jeep in excelsior springs. You just have to sign a waiver (if you get hurt its not their fault, just a "Don't sue us! Waiver) look up the address online. It's a real blast out there, rock crawling, creek crossing, trail riding. Only available on weekends, Friday and Saturday. Join the KC northland Jeepers club on Facebook for more details, and times when people are going to be there. It's great for short wheel base jeeps, not so much for long trucks. Yes you can take a stock vehicle and expect to have fun.
Some of the members of our group also provide us with access to wheel on their land.:2thumbsup:
Just follow the link below for anyone who wants to join the Kansas City Northland Jeepers group on Facebook.

Product: Griffin Technology ClearBoost and Wave case
Price and Availability: Both currently available, the ClearBoost is $29.99 and the Wave case is $24.99
Rating: ClearBoost 5/10 and Wave case 9/10
Pros: Both cases offered solid protection for the iPhone along with the display.
Cons: A personal issue, but they both make using the Apple dock difficult.
Overall: If you are looking for a solid case or a signal booster, then either of these from Griffin would make an ideal option to consider.
Both the ClearBoost and the Wave case ship with a clear film style protector for the display and also a cleaning cloth.
First up we have the Wave case:
This case is, while ultimately just another case that is available for the iPhone, one that offers, at least in our humble opinion some style along with protection. The case comes in a bunch of colors to include black, blue, green, orange, red, pink or white and is made out of a hard polycarbonate material. The case has a slight rubber feel to it, which makes it a little easier to grab without worrying about the phone slipping from your hand, a welcome change coming from someone who was used to not having a case.
Aside from being a little tricky the first few times you attempt to put it on, the case feels solid and will offer the protection that you are looking for. It has a cut out on the top, bottom, back and left side that allow access to the headphone jack, SIM slot, power button, speakers, dock connection, camera lens as well as the side mute and volume controls. The big drawback for me, is the lack of ability to easily use the dock that comes with the iPhone. This case, similar to most cases cannot be used, so in order to dock the phone the case has to come on and off, which is tolerable, but not what I prefer personally.
I can also say with some assurance that it will protect the phone, I had the misfortune of dropping mine two or three times while using the case. Granted it was dropped on relatively soft (carpet-type) surfaces, but the case stayed on and the iPhone stayed intact. A definite plus!
Next up we have the ClearBoost:
This case was surprisingly better than I had expected. I should clarify after giving it a 5/10 for a review, the middle of the line number comes a great deal from the lack of style that this case offers. While it seemed to work well in helping the signal, I feel that the iPhone is a sleek and nicely designed phone and the case should do that justice, which this does not. I have had this case for several weeks now and used it for a while, because honestly I did not ever expect it to work.
The case itself is made from a polycarbonate and promises hard-shell protection as well as an improved connection. Similar to the Wave case, this also offers cut outs so you can still access the phones controls and features.
There are specific ways to put your phone in a field test mode, which I did on a few occasions and was able to see the actual improvements. I however wanted to just use it, so I should say that while the testing that I formed my opinions on were very unscientific, it seemed to offer some help. I often travel a 50 mile stretch of highway that at times will leave me with the dreaded no-bars, which, as I am sure you know means you cannot make or receive calls well. Having taken this road on a regular basis, I have learned those spots and have just dealt with the dead areas. This case did seem to help in those dead areas. I did not always see an increase in bars on the display, but was able to make calls where I normally could not. The first time this worked I honestly chalked it up to coincidence, but given several more trips, some with and some without the case, it was appearing to work. To me this case was a great option to have with me, and was used for those trips, but quickly came off when I was in an area with normal reception.
Bottom Line: Griffin makes great products and in that respect these cases are not any different. If you are looking for either a stylish or signal booster case, then these should be worth your money.

Filed in: General Updates • Half in the Bag
message left blank.
Love how you guys are apparently now sponsored by Totino's Pizza Rolls. Keep up the good work.
Where can I buy one of those rape robots? I can think of so many problems that can be solved with one! I've never been so happy about rape!
"It's gonna be great."
Christopher Nolan ? Do these guys just throw out "against the grain" critiques just because ? Nolan almost never uses shaky cam and the technique was well known before Nolan .
Go watch Batman Begins again.
I agree, Nolan's style is practically a throwback to pre-Spielberg, before the camera was forever leering at stuff.
Honestly, I think that this is the best episode of Half in the Bag yet. You've perfected the format as it existed, and moved toward a really fun direction with the concluding Robot Battle, which took the expanding "universe" of the show into a new and exciting level of ridiculousness. The TONE of this thing is so delicate, and I think you've finally mastered what you're going for. More importantly (to me, anyway), the decision to review a movie that might not appeal directly to whatever the fuck your base-viewership is supposed to be was inspired. I'd like to think that at least some of the people initially drawn in by the notion of a seventy-minutes-long review of The Phantom Menace end up appreciating the various levels at which that piece works–not the least of which being its extraordinarily uncompromising and trenchant film criticism. It's this exact quality that Half in the Bag has flirted with since its inception (no, the word is___), and has often achieved. However, by reviewing a current "indie darling" sort of movie (and by making unnecessary excuses for doing so inside the episode), you're getting into a really cool new area, which I would like to see much more of in the future.
Your Jeff review brings to mind a quotation from movie reviewer Pauline Kael, from her 1965 book I Lost It At The Movies: "I would like to suggest that the educated audience often uses 'art'
films in much the same self-indulgent way as the mass audience uses the
Hollywood 'product,' finding wish fulfillment in the form of cheap and
easy congratulation on their sensitivities and their liberalism." Perhaps the earliest recorded acknowledgement of indie schlock.
If you would be interested in another really sort-of interestingly "meh" indie film, check out 2011's Higher Ground.
They don't do it "just because." If you do a Google search, you'll find that Batman Begins often comes up in discussions of shaky cam—discussions predating Mike & Jay's reference to it in this review.
Do Wrath of the Titans next! It sucked!
Re hunger games
1. The Movies script intentionally toned done the violence of the book, which may be why the level of violence seems light given the subject matter
2 the first novel was written for an adult audience and the author could not find any takers for publication. She has stated in interviews before it became popular that it was written using an extreme scenerio as a commentary of the many ways today's society exploits children through violence, either for entertainment or for financial gain……. She specifically states she has in mind that adults today enjoy a higher standard of living through massive deficit spending at the expense of children's future tandard of living
Scholatic picked up the book, marketed it to teens and it has become a hugh seller, it is required reading for my kid's high school american lit class. The first book in the series was derivative but engaging and works as social commentary, the subsequent books deterirate into soapy filler th extend the author's world intoa "trilogy"
Type your comment here.
……i suspect the films will deteriorate as well
It's kinda like poetry, y'know, y'know, they kinda rhyme.
I think the filmakers most responsible for making shaky cam during actions scenes prominent in recent times are people like Spielberg during Saving Private Ryan , the creators of Blair Witch Project , and JJ Abrams in Cloverfield .
Predating them maybe but Jay makes it clear that he holds Nolan to making the technique prominent when it actually was so by other filmmakers . Most of the action scenes in Nolan movies are done in combination of quick cuts and the occasional shaky cam .
You guys liked the Hunger games? Looks like we finally agree on something.
Having seen Battle Royale, The Hunger Games was a major disappointment for me. The cliché Hollywood storytelling and character improvement makes the whole movie incredibly predictable. The writing is sloppy, and the writer is not ballsy enough to make her protagonists make actually hard decisions. Whenever someone helps Katniss, they die a couple minutes later, killed by someone else of course. The two black tributes are murdered by extras, the tall dude's death isn't even on screen… this way our lovely protagonist doesn't have to make hard choices at all. There are plot holes so gaping, that it makes me lose every interest I had in the film. I think this was a good chance to reevaluate the ideas of an orwellian society, child gladiators/soldiers and all that, but they blew it hard…
The Hunger Games is so unspectacular that it has to be popular. How come the government cant ever be, you know, good? And why is it obvious from chapter 1 she will lead the rebellion that is obviously coming? And I dont care how much money the 1% had, numbers are the most important thing in a war. Tactics and supplies play their part, but 99000 guys will always beat 1000 every time.
In 2012 we think the Mormons dress in like Little House on the Prairie?
I'm surprised that there were not references to Brazil or A Boy And His Dog for the makeup. You slosh together those two movies with some bright colors and you pretty much have the hair and makeup for Hunger Games.
I also thought that you would take Hunger Games to task for a similar reason that you did not like Jeff, the ultra tight shots. There were numerous times in HG that you don't see anything below the mouth or above the eyebrows for no reason and the face just overwhelms the screen. Not a pleasant sight on an ultra-screen. The tight shots just appear in ordinary chitchat during interviews as well. Where the questions are neither pithy nor propel much of the plot. It seemed bizarre to me that they wouldn't shoot the movie in a slightly more conventional style.
Finally, and I might be misremembering this, but Katnis doesn't have a character arc. She's the same coming out of a death hunt battle royale as she was going in. Maybe she'll develop in later movies as the outcome of it starts to creep back up, but for now, she didn't grow.
I'm really surprised that you both recommended it so highly. I enjoyed it, but it was one of those films I can easily forget in my life and lose nothing.
yeah, that was a pretty stupid comment on their part, I think they meant puritans, or whatever the modern equivalent of puritans are nowadays
two of those are meant to give the effect of someone actually holding the camera, and saving private ryan's use of shaky cam was to give the effect of chaos in war, so all three of your examples are for films that actually used the style for a reason, as opposed to using it for no reason, which is what they were talking about
I went to see the Hunger Games today and really enjoy the flick. Then I check some info about the movie and realized that it's budget was 78 million dollars, which is one million short from the budget of the almighty Adam Sandler's Jack & Jill. Now I hate Hollywood.
I was very unhappy with the review of the hunger games. I watched the movie today and was very disappointed I feel like you guys really went to easy on the movie.
Could someone please reupload the CBS thievery onto Youtube please so that those outside of their country can see their staling in practise?
It's be nice to see the supposed 'unpaid for' flattery that is imitation.
Batman Begins did have shaky cam, but it was used correctly. The point of the cam in BB was to show the disorienting effect Batman's fighting style has on criminals, and also to tone down the violence factor so they could have a dark Batman film wtihout it being rated R.
Mike says "like" an awful lot. Is that because it rhymes with his name?
It's pretty telling to the quality of Hunger Games that most of the outraged comments here are about how easy they went on the movie, and not on the making light of rape for four minutes.
They're all totally right, though, The Hunger Games was so goddamned bland.
That Muppets sequence done by Mike was hilarious. How have I never seen this episode before?!
That ending…
In that case, he doesn't says "dyke" nearly enough.
it's battle royale for tweens.the love subplot with josh hutcherson is cringe fueled heart attack ready to happen.the dude can act about as much as keanu reeves and the writing is laughable.I'm really baffled as to why these films get a critical pass.Is it because of Jeniffer Lawrence who's beyond monotone in these films?

Body of Lies bristles with earnest acting, topical moral dilemmas and pointed political commentary, propelled by director Ridley Scott's urgent filmmaking as he jumps from spot to spot in the Middle East.
Yet when it's over, my reaction was: Yeah, so what?
Body of Lies looks and feels serious, practically screaming that it's "important." It moves too much to ever be boring, and often feels as if it's just about to get really gripping. But that never happens. It's contrived and unpersuasive - all show, very little go.
A hokey ending, an unlikely love story and some tone-deaf attempts at humor don't help things, either.
Leonardo DiCaprio is Roger Ferris, a battered, bold CIA operative who speaks Arabic and is at home in the roughest quarters of the Middle East. He has some idealism in him, though he's not above doing dirty work to achieve his more high-minded goals.
His boss back in the States, Ed Hoffman, is played by a pudged-out Russell Crowe. He's a unsentimental type who blithely discusses life and death issues - mostly death - through his ear phone while getting his kids to school and soccer practice.
The film is meant to revolve around the tension between those two, but the balance is all out of whack.
DiCaprio seems to be trying to give one of those Oscar-worthy performances, all showy and intense and tortured. Crowe, though, barely registers; he's aiming for enigmatic, but ends up fading away to almost nothing. I've never seen that happen to the Australian before.
They're both overshadowed by British actor Mark Strong, who plays a practical, impeccably dressed Jordanian intelligence officer. His motives and techniques are far more subtle than those of our American protagonists and make for considerably more compelling storytelling.
Body of Lies has some decent ideas in its espionage plot, but the film wanders too much before eventually settling on the good stuff: DiCaprio's plan to bring an Islamic terrorist leader out into the open.
That plot twist is an intriguing one, but it feels rushed, almost tacked-on. The pacing is all wrong. But then it's hard to settle into a rhythm when every few minutes there's a big action scene to break things up.
It doesn't help that those action scenes all blend together, relying overmuch on speeding convoys of big black SUVs and surveillance planes that can see you picking your nose from miles up.
Been there, done that.

We saw the Renault Duster at the Delhi Auto Expo this year and now Dacia, Renault's budget brand, will be seen introducing the compact SUV to the UK market on June 28th. The manufacturer has not spoken about the positioning of the car but we feel that the car will be priced in the 12,150 -15,150 Euros price range. The Duster will offer both 2WD and 4WD modes and the car will be exported from India. We wonder if this is any indication of the car soon entering the Indian market.

Analysis / A Threat Tempered by Pragmatism
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's ominous words recall similar statements Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani made around four years ago. Rafsanjani was speaking when Iran was headed by the moderate president Mohammed Khatami, and sounded even more threatening.
Rafsanjani made the point that a single nuclear bomb, which the Islamic world would one day possess, could annihilate Israel. Any Israeli retaliation, however, would reach only a small percentage of Muslims.
Interestingly, Rafsanjani, who ran for president this year and failed, is considered a pragmatist and one who is interested in advancing the American-Iranian dialogue.
Israel's elimination, or its definition as an illegitimate entity which must be removed, was the line Khomeini adopted when he returned from exile in Paris and seized power in Iran. He declared: "The day will come when the Palestinians will remove those who conquered them as the Iranians removed their colonial conquerors."
These declarations, however, never stopped Iran from doing business with states close to Israel and even with Israel itself. Ahmadinejad, Khomeini's loyal student, who served in senior posts in the intelligence of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, is navigating Iran's present foreign policy on the same lines. For example, he bases Iran's nuclear policy on the principle of "force and justice," i.e. the power of faith to withstand and resist the American cultural invasion, and Iran's justness in struggling against the colonial forces.
But this rigid ideology is not being implemented in other foreign policy affairs. Iran maintains close ties with India and Turkey, close friends of Israel. Iran wishes to establish full diplomatic ties with Egypt, which was named in Ahmadinejad's speech as one of the states to be burned in the fire of hell for recognizing Israel. It also signed deals with China, Germany and Russia, all of whom have close ties with Israel.
The discrepancy between Ahmadinejad's statements and Iran's policy is explained by the system of political checks and balances in Iran. Although the parliament consists of an absolute majority of conservatives and the state is headed by a radical spiritual leader, the regime's survival is more important to them than the survival of the ideology. This depends first and foremost on creating work places, a thriving economy and individual liberty inside Iran rather than liberating Palestine or annihilating Israel.

Three newcomers to the Hermosa Beach City Council were sworn into office Tuesday night, yet the election results that provided some razor-thin margins of victory could still be upset by a recount.
Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder's office spokeswoman Regina Ip said Tuesday that a recount was called for by Dency Nelson, vice president of the Beach Cities Democratic Club. Nelson, a longtime stage manager for the Academy Awards, is a local activist for environmental and Democratic causes.
City Council incumbent Jeff Duclos, a Democrat who sought re-election to the nonpartisan office, lost his seat by just seven votes. Duclos finished fourth in the balloting for three council seats. Both he and Councilman Kit Bobko were turned out of office by voters apparently looking for change.
The recount, which will cost $5,441.78 per day and must be paid by Nelson, is expected to take one day because only three of the city's five precincts have been contested, Ip said. It will begin on Dec. 3 and, if election results change, the Registrar-Recorder's Office will reimburse Nelson. The City Council then would reconsider the new results.
"If there's a change, the county would do another certification of the results and I would present them to the City Council as I'm doing this time," Hermosa Beach Clerk Elaine Doerfling said. "They would adopt another resolution certifying those results, and there could be a new swearing-in ceremony."
Seven candidates were vying for the City Council in the Nov. 5 election. Though winners were announced that night, the results changed two weeks later, after about 700 uncounted vote-by-mail and provisional ballots were tallied.
Duclos finished second on Nov. 5 but then dropped to fourth, losing his seat when the final results were disclosed. Bobko finished fifth in the voting behind Duclos.
Capturing seats were Nanette Barragan, a business advocate who finished atop the heap. She was followed by finance executive Carolyn Petty and attorney and local activist Hany Fangary. Only four votes separated Petty and Fangary and just 153 votes separated the top finisher and Duclos.

An interview with Jason Thomas, CIO at Green Clinic Health System, based in Ruston, Louisiana.
The Enterprisers Project (TEP): You completed a total refresh of Green Clinic's technology as one of your first undertakings as CIO. What were some of the challenges of that project?
THOMAS: Green Clinic is a complex organization. Our medical professionals treat approximately 1,000 patients per day across 25 specialties. It's a regional organization with a lot of complexity and technical and compliance issues that further complicate how IT operates.
Our physician-owned organization, founded in 1948, is comprised today of 50 doctors and about 450 employees. The biggest challenge is that everybody is priority number one. Whenever a system goes down or someone has trouble getting something to work correctly, IT hears about it immediately. And because we are a healthcare organization, we do not have the luxury of tolerating downtime.
TEP: Sounds like a demanding environment! Did you have to make special efforts to sell the doctors and other stakeholders on the benefits of modernizing your technology?
THOMAS: There was some resistance to the expense of refreshing the IT environment, but Green Clinic had long had a physician-led plan to move to a fully electronic record system and part of my role was to facilitate that plan. Having our physicians already on board meant that the issue of expense came down to gaining consensus on what the final product would need, and then negotiating around those requirements.

text: More players are needed in Classic Conflict mode. I was absolutely determined to unlock it until yesterday, when I hit level 35. Unfortunately, there aren't an overwhelming number of players who have this unlocked yet. Playing Classic Conflict makes the game worth your while. It's the reason we got 007 instead of Call of Duty. Besides, it's fun to see Jaws and Baron Samedi and Blofeld running around. To sub-level 35 players: Keep at it, it's worth it! I, for one, will be waiting.

The end of the year offers no rest and relaxation for controversial belly dancer, FiFi Abdou, [2] who is rushed off her feet with a jam-packed work schedule.
As the star gets ready to shoot her leading role in Ramadan 2013 drama 'Khatafit Al Rijlab' (Man Stealer), she is also rumored to be making a program about her life.
But even a heavy workload hasn't helped the Egyptian starlet keep away from scandal.
Just this month Fifi was reported to be at the centre of a feud with the Egyptian Taxation Authority (ETA) [3], over tax claimed on her belly dancing tips.
And fans predict feisty Fifi will be stirring up more controversy before the year is out.

Homestead Country Club has opened up two new courts that might strike people used to traditional tennis as a bit odd.
The platform tennis courts are about a quarter the size of traditional courts, surrounded by a 12-foot high fence, and raised off the ground.
The sport of platform tennis was created to give ansty tennis players an outdoor option during cold winter months. The platforms have heaters under them, and warm air comes up from between planks on the playing deck. Each platform has eight lights, as well.
Players use solid rubber ball and a texturized paddle that allows players to put a lot of spin on their shots. If a ball hits the fence, it's still in play.
The courts will remain open for play year round.

Ethiopia has a strong interest in resolving the situation and is already leading negotiations on oil revenue sharing.
Encourage Ethiopia to Play a Role in Sudan
Morgan Roach is a research associate in the Heritage Foundation's Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom and the Allison Center for Foreign Policy Studies, where she specializes in Africa.
Updated May 29, 2012, 5:17 PM
It is important to recognize what has been accomplished in Sudan. The decades-long civil war between Khartoum and southern Sudan was a humanitarian disaster resulting in millions of deaths. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement, brokered with the leadership of the United States, helped quell the conflict and set the stage for an independent South Sudan in July 2011.
The priority is to preserve those accomplishments, which are threatened by issues outstanding, like the long-standing dispute over which nation should possess the border territory of Abyei.
Despite a set time frame for resolving the border dispute, deadlines have come and gone. A January 2011 referendum was postponed indefinitely, and Sudan's occupation of Abyei last May escalated the dispute into a crisis. International condemnation and an interim United Nations peacekeeping force have failed to convince Khartoum to back down. This situation has the potential to reignite the civil war.
Washington must not stand idle.
It should continue condemning Khartoum's violent acts designed to intimidate South Sudan. Sanctions should remain in place until Sudan stops committing or supporting violence inside and outside its territory.
The United States should also seek to mediate the situation. Khartoum will likely dismiss direct overtures, but Washington should support and encourage efforts by regional stakeholders. Ethiopia, for example, has a strong interest in resolving the situation and is already leading negotiations on oil revenue sharing. It can play a critical role.
We should also work with countries like China. Beijing is heavily invested in Sudanese oil production and has positive relations with both Khartoum and Juba, the capital of South Sudan. China should be encouraged to follow its self-interests in helping resolve the crisis.
Finally, the Obama administration has a responsibility to continue providing assistance to South Sudan. Washington should help it become capable of defending itself. Khartoum will continue to act aggressively unless it believes that South Sudan can make it pay a steep price for its continued violence.

MCCURLEY, TEXAS. McCurley was two miles southeast of the town of Lake Dallas in Denton County. It was named for the McCurley brothers, who settled there in the 1850s. A school district probably existed as early as the 1880s. In 1936 McCurley had a rural school and a separate school for blacks. The community was submerged by the waters of Lewisville Lake in the 1950s. In 1984 a Texas Historical Commission marker for the McCurley Cemetery was placed in nearby Lewisville.

Sept. 30, 2009: A U.S. court dismisses a lawsuit by the Alaskan Arctic village of Kivalina against the largest fossil fuel companies in the U.S. Kivalina (at right) appeals the dismissal, alleging that the fossil fuel industry is responsible for the near-destruction of their village. Once protected from winter storms by a layer of shore ice, Kivalina's melting shorelines are now a direct target for storms, which have destroyed streets and buildings in the village.

Legal Question in Personal Injury in Kansas
accidental gunshot
I was accidentally shot by a
homeowner inside his home. He was
showing me his pistol and gun went
off. Gunshot shattered my femur.
aprox. 50,000 in medicals. He does
have homeowners insurance. Will
his homeowners insurance cover
this, and if so, what settlement range
could i possibly expect?
3 Answers from Attorneys
Re: accidental gunshot
Ouch! That sounds incredibly painful. Homeowner's insurance may cover an injury like this but it depends on the details of what happened and the language of the homeowner's policy.
Generally, you are entitled to recover your medical bills and lost wages (both past and future) as well as an amount for your pain and permanency of your injuries.
Kansas has a statute of limitations that could prevent your recovery, no matter how valid, if you do not act within a specific amount of time. If you have any questions, I would be happy to discuss it with you further. Please email or call me at your convenience.
Re: accidental gunshot
It is difficult to determine what you case is worth without knowing many more facts. His homeowner's policy should pay for his negligence, but you do have to prove it was negligence. Your damages are your medical bills, including what insurance may have paid, past and future, your lost income past and future and your pain and suffering, permanent disability past and future. A good personal injury attorney can get you more than the insurance carrier will offer. I suggest you get legal advice from an attorney. Good luck.
Re: accidental gunshot
Our office has had success in handling accidental shooting cases. It appears that your case has merit from a homeowner's liability standpoint. Any compensation will be based on the amount of medical bills incurred, lost income, disability and pain and suffering. Always remember that negligence cases such as these are covered by a Statute of Limitation. Any lawsuit arising out of the situation must be filed prior to the expiration of the Statute of Limitation. Otherwise, it will be forever barred.

Police were called by the landlord to the Bridge pub in Priestwood at 9.49pm because of concerns about the 34-year-old man.
Some time after the police arrived the man became unwell and an ambulance was called.
It is understood the man died at around 11.30pm in an ambulance at the scene. His next of kin have been advised and a post mortem took place on Monday, January 27, the result of which was inconclusive.
Assistant commissioner for the IPCC, Guido Liguori, said: "We will be seeking to establish the circumstances surrounding the interaction between Thames Valley police officers and this man before his death.
"I would like to offer my condolences to his family at this very difficult time."

Shang-Yi Chiang
The tech recession may be slamming Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM ), but these are nonetheless busy times for Shang-yi Chiang, TSMC's senior vice-president for research and development. The slowdown in chip production has made it possible for his 460 engineers to step up their research on next-generation chipmaking techniques. "During a recession, people have much more energy to spend on R&D," he says. While the rest of TSMC is under a hiring freeze, Chiang is expanding his staff by 10%.
A Stanford PhD with 23 years' experience at U.S. tech companies, Chiang, 55, has transformed TSMC's R&D staff since he joined the company in 1997. Back then TSMC was content to offer low-end technology. Now it's a world-class manufacturer of state-of-the-art products such as 12-inch silicon wafers. Chiang loves to hike, but he can't do much of that these days. Slow times for the industry mean overtime for him.

I loved Venom's first two albums, haven't yet gotten my hands on At War With Satan, but found that Possessed was a bit sloppy and drawn out. I wondered what Venom would sound like with two guitar players, replacing the mighty Mantas.
I can't say that this sounds like Disney. This is not so out there that it could be labeled as a different band, because we've still got the necessary Venom ingredients all in the mix. Possibly a bit experimental, but not bad in that way. The songs seem a bit more concise, but sadly, also more geared towards commercialism: they're shorter, with obvious hooks. Just listen to "Chanting of the Priests," with its cleaner vocals...not really Venom, is it? "Under A Spell" is similar, with a sing along chorus. Quite goofy. Sometimes those clean vocals sound really irritating and obnoxious, but overall, don't destroy the album.
So what does really put it under the table? The songs are pretty short and predictable. Even worse, there's not a lot that really jumps out and grabs you. I would have actually enjoyed more experimentation, but a lot of the ideas just feel bland and tired. The second half of the album can sometimes just pass me by.
But there are some great moments. The title track, though a bit unorthodox with its epic and often melodic sound, is fucking great. Seriously, one can imagine a storm brewing at the horizon while listening to that. "Black Xmas" is heavy, total Venom, and "Metal Punk" actually feels heavier than you'd think.
The production is rough, and as I've said, there are fuck ups here and there. But this is Venom. The two new guitarists provide some very nice, over the top soloing, that gives it a slicker sound, but not without the nastiness brewing beneath the surface. Worth getting if you're a big fan, but a casual listener best pick up Welcome To Hell or Black Metal.

Hargrove handed one-year ban
Buffalo Bills defensive end Anthony Hargrove has been suspended without pay for all of next season for a third violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Last Updated: 21/01/08 11:05pm
Buffalo Bills defensive end Anthony Hargrove has been suspended without pay for all of next season for a third violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.
Hargrove was suspended without pay for the first four games of the regular season when he violated the substance abuse policy back in August.
His third violation triggers an automatic one-year suspension by the NFL, and Hargrove must apply to commissioner Roger Goodell for reinstatement.
It was not revealed how Hargrove violated the policy, but violations can come from positive tests, failure to cooperate in the testing program or failing to comply with a treatment plan.
The Bills did not comment on the matter and Hargrove's spell in Buffalo now looks to be over, as his one-year contract had already expired and he was due to be a free agent in the off-season.
In the 12 games he did play last season, Hargrove had 46 tackles and 1.5 sacks, and proved to be a capable backup behind starters Aaron Schobel and Chris Kelsay.
Outgoing and well-liked by his Bills teammates, Hargrove has been unable to stay out of trouble during a five-year NFL career, including the past two with Buffalo.
A week before he was suspended in August, Hargrove was involved in an altercation with police outside a Rochester nightclub during an off-day at Bills training camp in nearby Pittsford. That resulted in a $300 fine, and Hargrove was ordered to perform 200 hours of community service after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct.

Apple TV update adds support for Vevo, Disney, Weather Channel and Smithsonian Channel
Date: Tuesday, August 27th, 2013, 07:41
Category: Apple TV, News, Software
The Apple TV console received several new channels via an update today.
Per AppleInsider, an update released for the set top box added Vevo, Disney Channel, Disney XD, Weather Channel, and content from the Smithsonian Channel.
The launch of new content options on Apple TV comes just days after it was revealed that Apple had inked a deal with Vevo to provide music video content to its HDTV accessory.
Apple has been steadily adding channels to the Apple TV through new dedicated apps throughout 2013. The last major update came in June, when Apple added HBO Go, WatchESPN, Sky News, CrunchyRoll and Qello.
Established programming partners on the Apple TV also include Hulu Plus, Netflix, Major League Baseball, the National Basketball Association, the National Hockey League, Vimeo, YouTube, Flickr, and The Wall Street Journal.
The next major direction for Apple TV may be live and on demand content from cable providers. Apple is said to have been working with Time Warner Cable to provide streaming content to existing cable subscribers without the need to have a dedicated table box.
Tuesday's update also arrives amidst rumors that Apple is in the process of negotiating directly with content providers for a new product category that may be a realization of the company's long-rumored television set. It's been said that Apple has found little success in negotiations with cable providers, prompting the company to turn to the content providers themselves.
The update can be installed by heading to the "General" settings on the Apple TV, then choosing "Software Update" and letting the unit locate, download and install its updated operating system.
One rumor from earlier this month suggested that Apple could announce a new television product of some sort as soon as November. While that product may not be a full-fledged television set, it was said the supposed product is likely to include some sort of enhanced control functionality.
Apple's future ambitions in the TV space were hinted at with the company's acquisition of Matcha.tv earlier this month. The small startup company provided a second-screen iOS app connected to various content outlets like cable TV, Internet streams, and digital storefronts.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.

Plans to extend Banbury's Castle Quay shopping centre were yesterday approved by councillors.
Cherwell District Council's planning committee passed the plan for development around the Oxford Canal.
It will include a supermarket, cinema, restaurants and hotel, though concerns were raised that it will pull trade from other parts of the town.
Applicant Scottish Widows Investment Partnership said: "This is a significant and positive step to help rejuvenate Banbury town centre which will benefit other retailers, as well as residents in the town and surrounding villages."
Further permission will be needed on detailed designs.

The San Diego-based guided-missile destroyer Benfold will undergo at least $32 million in maintenance, repairs and upgrades during an extended dry-docking at BAE Systems San Diego Ship Repair, the Defense Department says. DoD recently increased the size of the contract from $21 million to $32 million, and says the final contract could be worth $34.8 million. The government said the work involves "depot-level maintenance, alterations, and modifications that will update and improve the ship's military and technical capabilities." The contract is being handled by the Navy's Southwest Regional Maintenance Center.
Benfold is an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, the most widely-used ship of its type in the Navy.

" Author: Angela Carter / Format: Paperback / Date of publication: 31 December 1981 / Genre: Modern & Contemporary Fiction / Publisher: Little, Brown Book Group / Title: The Magic Toyshop / ISBN 13: 9780860681908 / ISBN 10: 0860681908 "
* Prices may differ from that shown
The Magic Toyshop is an ideal starting point for Angela Carter virgins. A gripping well-written novel, the story contains Carter's hallmark dark and eerie imagery and shows off her limitless imagination while following a clear beginning, middle and end structure. The novel has a story that readers want to follow and lively characters even Carter first-timers will want to know more about.
Carter is escapism at its best. Her work allows us to consider things we never thought possible and come to think of fantasy and fairytale as perfectly normal and almost achievable.
But her writing also encourages us to explore gender, feminist and class themes, usually through female protagonists.
The Magic Toyshop provides us with stark images of poverty, violence and desire. As we follow the protagonist through her emergence into womanhood we are transported into another world and can almost smell the toyshop where Melanie spends so many hours thanks to Carter's description.
This book stayed vividly in my mind for days after reading it and made me desperate to revisit Nights at the Circus which I had dipped into before. It also led me on to read Carter's first novel and find out more about the author's life.
Highly recommended, a superb work of fiction.
I couldn't get enough of this novel. From an unenthusiastic start this soon took off at chapter 2 and then I couldn't put it down. I love Carter's writing style and I was surprised to see that this was only her second novel; it seemed so structured and confident. A super super novel! In discussion with others I was trying to work out why this a fairy tale when we tend to associate them with fanciful tales of legendary deeds and creatures, usually intended for children; however a fairy tale can also be a fictitious, highly fanciful story or explanation and I think it falls into the latter. It is an explanation of Melanie finding herself as a woman or an object in society. All the different representations of woman that Melanie goes through at the beginning, using the art form and then again the different interpretations of woman through the female characters - Mother, Mrs Rundle, Aunt Margaret, child (Victoria) and young adult (Melanie) were put together so well. Very clever!
Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytical theory of the Mirror Stage struck a chord with me, especially the opening pages in relation to this. It's all about Ego, the body image and the mother. Then the mirror was taken away from her when they moved to Uncle Philip's house. He reminded me of the Evil Queen in Snow White, which is again representative of the Mirror Stage. I think the title is quite apt, the toyshop is magic. Magic is a mysterious quality of enchantment and to be magic you possess distinctive qualities. Uncle Philip tried to perform his own magic by recreating a world he wanted and that he could control - Evil Queen? In one way or another they all possessed distinctive qualities and even down to the toyshop from the title, what is a toyshop? A toy is something you play with - which Uncle Philip did all the time, he played with them. An overwhelming 5/5 for me! It's now my fourth Angela Carter book and it certainly won't be my last.

Picture: American Idol winner Jordin Sparks arrives at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Washington DC, USA - 02.12.07
Although the size of the audience for American Idol dipped significantly over the season, Wednesday night's finale actually rose slightly from last year's. The episode averaged 30.6 million viewers versus 29.5 million for the 2007 finale. Fox's 17.3 rating and 27 share was greater than the ratings for the three other networks combined -- as was the network's rating for adults 18-49. The final half hour of Idol recorded a 19.1/29, translating to 36.34 million viewers -- the biggest number for any regular television episode of the year.

If there is a people-eating yeti reportedly on the loose in a hillside village blanketed by snow, what do you do? Some would say run away from that village as fast as you can. But if you're an adventure-loving skiing addict, you'd probably take out your skiis and hunt for the yeti yourself right? Well, if you're the latter kind of person, then this new Android game called Skiing Yeti Mountain is for you. You won't do any actual skiing or yeti-hunting, except on your mobile device.
The game is handcrafted for mobile devices and so you just need to tap and swipe your way through snow-covered hills as you search for that elusive yeti, or rather, yetis. There are hundreds of courses for you to finish, although some of these courses will just last for a few seconds or so, but you'd have to start all over again when you crash through a gate or a yeti. You control the character by pressing and dragging on the screen as you try to avoid said gates as well as the trees and cliffs standing in your way. And of course, the flesh-eating yetis as well.
You would also need to master a literal mountain of challenges in this game. Along the way, you'll also meet "a cast of bizarre characters" who might help or hinder your mission. And yes, you'll see dead bodies and bloodied tracks as well. Good thing this game is roughly pixelated so there isn't any yuck factor.
You can download Skiing Yeti Mountain for free from the Google Play Store. If you'd like to get rid of the ads, you'll have to pay $2.99, but the developer will be giving half of that to Nepal earthquake relief efforts.

The boys and gals at I09 have added a gaggle of new pics from the set of Marc Webb's "Spider-Man" reboot. It's actually pretty amazing that we're getting so many images from the set, but I suppose that's a combination of the film being shot in Los Angeles (which is apparently crawling with camera-armed paparazzi, if you believe TMZ) and starring two "hot" young stars in Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone.
"Spider-Man" stars Garfield as Peter Parker/Spider-Man and Emma Stone as his love interest, Gwen Stacy. Denis Leary plays Stone's policeman father, while Sally Fields and Martin Sheen play Peter's Aunt and Uncle, respectively. This time around, Spidey will battle villains Rhys Ifan as The Lizard and Irrfan Khan as Adder.
Spidey gets rebooted July 3, 2012, still a full year and a half away.

On America's northwestern coastline is a town so small it has only one national restaurant chain: Subway. The sandwich shop does well in Bethel, a remote Alaska town of about 6,200 along the Kuskokwim River, 40 miles inland from the Bering Sea.
So it's no surprise that a scam suggesting Taco Bell was coming to town raised people's hopes. When it came to light that the rumor was a hoax, the fast-food retailer was inspired to do a one-time taco drop to the far flung community, accessible only by air or boat.
That short-lived feast on Sunday was tasty. But a larger craving has haunted the region for decades -- the desire for a swimming pool.
Call it coincidence, but good luck seems to be dropping into the western Alaska hub this year. A few months ago, Gov. Sean Parnell signed off on a statewide budget that included $23 million for the pool project.
"I cried. I couldn't believe it," said Beverly Hoffman, one of a handful of mothers who'd started the campaign for a pool in the 1980s and now, with their children grown, has finally seen the vision take hold.
Community raises $200,000
After years of scraping pennies together, holding $3 basketball games, hosting dances and movie nights, getting a few sizable donations and selling thousands of pounds of Christmas cookies, the mom-inspired community effort raised $200,000 -- tons of money for a grassroots effort in a small town, but not close to what would be needed to fund construction.
Decades ago, after a year in which the region had experienced more than a dozen drowning deaths, the moms had decided enough was enough. "We all had young children and thought we've got to do something about it," Hoffman said of the movement's beginnings.
Bethel is located in the one of the poorest areas of Alaska, where two great rivers -- the Yukon and the Kuskokwim -- unravel as they meet the state's western edge and pour into the sea. Many families depend on the rivers for travel, fishing and hunting.
The pool will be the first to operate in the area for more than a generation. Bethel had a much smaller pool years ago, but it fell into disrepair and was lost to memory long ago, said Bethel City Manager Lee Foley.
Pool set to open in 2014
"Everybody is really ecstatic that after so many years (the pool) finally got approved," he said Tuesday, freshly back in town after traveling.
Foley missed out on the taco drop, and returned to find the city abuzz with people hoping someone would concoct a hoax to lure Burger King or Kentucky Fried Chicken to Bethel. But the really big "get" for 2012, he insisted, is the pool money.
Soon, the Bethel Aquatic Training and Health Center (BATH center) will become a reality.
Five years ago, city residents voted to tax themselves to create a funding stream for the pool's annual operating and maintenance costs. More recently, a new and more receptive city council was elected. Last year, area legislators decided to back the pool project, and it was considered a higher priority in the statewide budget than in years past. The stars had aligned.
By 2014, Bethel could have a new place for children to safely learn to swim, and for people of all ages to stay fit year-round.
If the city can get the special pilings it needs delivered by fall, construction on the competition-length, four-lane pool could begin in 2013. The pilings need to be self-cooling, since the ground below is permafrost. The center is designed to also feature a room for weight lifting.
Funding for health, wellness
Hoffman is relieved the state finally saw value in something beyond buildings to battle social ills. She'd watched any number of buildings go up over the years: treatment centers for alcohol and inhalant abuse, big jails, women's shelters.
At 60 years old, she's twice the age she was when she first began talking about bringing a pool to Bethel. Suicide, obesity, depression, alcoholism have all received attention and investment. And now, finally, so is a different aspect of health and wellness: recreation in a safe, positive place.
Her dream isn't fully realized, though. Adding a gym to the BATH center is next in her sights.
"There's still work to be done," she said.

After having my Wii bricked once I'd like to be as carefull as possible. I'm running firmware 4.0E and my serial starts with LEH27 (PAL Wii) and I've read that v1 and v2 will brick my Wii. As far as I've read as well is that v3.3 is what I would need to not brick my Wii. But I wonder do the IOS files offer more then just burnt backup playback or could I use it as an IOS pack as well in combination with usbloaders and the likes? Also, I haven't been able to find anything about it but would v3.5 brick my Wii or not?
Just a few things I would like to see cleared up. :D
Thanks in advance.

For generations, the rolling hills of Fort McCoy Wis., about 100 miles east of Rochester, have been the training ground for troops preparing to head to war.
Roughly 2,400 members of Minnesota's Red Bull brigade are there right now, in their final weeks of training before deploying to Kuwait.
Once there, they'll provide convoy security, route protection and base defense as other troops leave the war zone in Iraq.
1st Lt. Jolene Carlson, who lives near Shakopee, Minn., spends her days teaching high school science. But now, on one of the largest military forts in the upper Midwest, Carlson, is learning the rhythm of daily life as a soldier. She's one of the 60 percent of soldiers deploying for the first time.
"It's a lot of work. There's no days off. I've realized the last three weeks, I don't know what day it is," Carlson, 35, said. "It's just another day. Your day starts at 5 a.m. and usually gets done usually 10 or 11 p.m. Just every day is that way, so it's intense.
"Your day starts at 5 a.m. and usually gets done usually 10 or 11 p.m."1st Lt. Jolene Carlson
Fort McCoy is a big place, featuring 60,000 acres, more than 1,432 buildings and facilities and vast grassy fields where soldiers practice mock convoy missions and other scenarios they might encounter during their deployment.
At the firing range, Carlson and 15 other soldiers prepare for something called a stress test. The goal of the 20-minute drill is to get the heart beating and the muscles aching.
They start with pushups, then strap on their 35-pound body armor and run to a lane on the shooting range.
Carlson shoots 20 rounds of live ammunition from an M-4 semi-automatic weapon. She does it all over again wearing a gas mask a few minutes later. It's an exhausting drill, even for someone as fit as she is.
"It's not horrible, but it's work though," Carlson said. "I think the worst part is when you have to put the mask on and you're breathing heavy and you feel like you're grasping for air. I think it gives you an idea of how you do with a higher heart rate and under stress, which is good. It's good training."
At Fort McCoy, soldiers train using the exact trucks and weapons they'll have in Kuwait. They'll repeat these exercises until the middle of July, when they get a 4-day pass to visit family. Until then, they're not allowed off base without approval.
"We've got everything we need here to operate exactly like we will be over there," said Col. Eric Kerska, the 1st brigade's commander. The 46-year-old Kerska said the 55 days soldiers spend at Fort McCoy are essentially a dress rehearsal for Kuwait.
"Seven days a week, 24 hours a day, everybody's together in one spot," Kerska said. "We can start building those teams. We've got all sizes of teams. We've got little, three person-gun truck crews. We've got squads, platoons, companies, battalions, brigades. And they all have their little piece of this puzzle. And this is where we can bring it all together."
Before the July deployment, roughly 300 soldiers from Oklahoma will join the Red Bull brigade, bringing the total number of soldiers to 2,700 and making it Minnesota's largest Red Bull deployment since World War II, according to Kerska. In 2005, the Red Bull Infantry Division sent about 2,500 soldiers to Iraq.
Bringing it all together isn't all work all the time for soldiers at Fort McCoy. They have breaks to check email, do laundry, play football and just get comfortable being a full-time soldier.
After eating lunch at one of the chow halls, 1st Lt. Travis Tomford, 26 of Melrose, read from a sign with common Arabic phrases.
"We got a class on this about a month ago, but it's hard to retain it," Tomford said.
Tomford isn't too worried, though. He knows no matter how much formal training he gets, some things he'll just have to wait to experience.
"You have guys that come back and they'd be with me in training, they've been deployed before, they'd have this stuff down," he said. "I suppose once we get there, a couple months in country, we'll be able to actually use some of these."
Until then, Tomford and hundreds of other soldiers will continue to practice driving trucks, loading weapons and memorizing useful Arabic phrases like hello and thank you.

More to remember
Memorial Day used to be a very big event in my little hometown. My mother would sell poppies and my dad and the other vets would don uniforms and march from the high school to the cemetery and fire off a salute to all the guys they knew who didn't come back from the war. Meanwhile, we'd hover nearby and fight over their shell casings, thinking their white spats, white helmets and white belts were really cool, even if we were too young to know why some of them might have a tear in their eye.
I was not part of a generation that got drafted, so I couldn't begin to comprehend the magnitude of being snatched away from your life, shipped off to a foreign land and shot at for years like my dad and uncles were. And since learning about World War II from them was like pulling an aching tooth from a hungry rhinoceros in heat, I had to find out whatever I could on my own. But I do know that one of my uncles got to revisit his bouts with malaria a lot more often than he wanted to. And I even remember being told, at the time of his death, that one of my grandmother's brothers, a World War I veteran, was never the same after he was exposed to nerve gas. Still, they did all come home in one piece, got married and had kids like me to give them ulcers. Except it's them that I'd like us to focus on this Memorial Day and I'll tell you why.
Over the years I've learned only bits and pieces about the war from my dad and usually at a most unexpected time. For example, a couple of years ago we were watching a WWII documentary and when they showed footage of Paris being liberated he suddenly blurted out, "I was there the next day." Now that may not seem like much to you. But to me and in comparison to everything else he hasn't told us, it was nothing short of a revelation.
Another time he mentioned that he was really struck by the vibrant colors he was exposed to upon his return to the United States; since colors apparently stood out to him after seeing nothing but olive green for four years or as long as it takes most of us to obtain a high school or college degree. It's these little tidbits that you have to put together like a puzzle, in hopes of someday getting a bigger picture.
Right now there is a young soldier from my little hometown who's on his fourth tour in Iraq. Rather than working at a desk job in some air conditioned office he's out in the field finding those funny little explosives the so called insurgents like to hide here, there and everywhere.
I talked to this young soldier's dad the night before he left and wish I could come close to describing the look I saw in his eyes as he contemplated saying goodbye to his boy one more time. Because, while looking at me, he didn't seem to see me and what he was seeing, I don't know, but whatever it was looked to be disconcerting, especially for a man who'd already served in Iraq himself.
Still the most compelling stories about war that you'll ever hear are forever seared into the memory of Dave Logosz who resides in Dickinson. His Vietnam experiences are as compelling, surreal and haunting as any that exist in any war and I haven't got enough space in this column or in three books to come close to telling them to you in the kind of vivid detail that his mind remembers them.
But I can tell you that Logosz was a sniper in Vietnam who was dropped into hostel zones for long periods of time and during one of those missions "dispatched" 43 enemy soldiers in 47 days. And just so you get a feel for the man, he has three purple hearts for wounds received and could have a lot more for wounds he never reported.
Rather than a hero he views himself as a survivor, which might be more of an accomplishment post war than it was mid war, especially since he's carrying around the images of 75 or more friends who were killed before his eyes, even more images of others who were wounded and literally hundreds of memories of enemy soldiers that he killed.
And now he averages two or three nightmares a week with all of the sights, sounds and smells returning to him in excruciatingly intimate detail with one dream in particular, of Carl Berger from Mandan, who was picked off by an enemy sniper 15 feet away from him on April 25, 1970, headlining the nightmarish barrage.
We've all heard the saying "War is Hell" but after talking to Logosz I can tell you that this simple saying is about as beige as calling WWII a unfortunate misunderstanding, the Challenger explosion a fuel leak and the World Trade Center collapse and annihilation a structural problem.
Imagine having to drag NVA body after body to a big pile after an enemy "human wave attack," watching the pile being doused with hundreds of gallons of diesel fuel hauled in by helicopters and then having the sight of it all it burned into your memory from that day to beyond eternity.
Dave Logosz says that war is more than hell because it takes you to hell and keeps you there as long as it can, including long after the war is over. And it takes not just him but everyone else who has ever served in war, their families and even you and me in some more indirect way.
So let's be careful not to glorify war during our Memorial Day services this year. Because doing so would be a great disservice to everyone, including those who served and died and even you and me, our children and our children's children who we hope will never have to go through the same thing.
And one more thing: Thank God for veterans.

While many race facilities continue to close their doors, Mountain Speedway has emerged as one of the premier short tracks in the Northeast United States.
