View of Meaux
MICHEL, Georges (1763 - 1843)
Media: oil on canvas
Size: 57.2 x 79.7 cm
Acquired: 1982; Purchase
Accession Number: NMW A 2472
The grand cathedral of Meaux stands out from the flat countryside as it projects into a brooding sky. Michel was one of the earliest nineteenth-century French landscape artists to reject the neo-classical traditions of academic art and concentrate on natural atmospheric effects. He was inspired by seventeenth-century Dutch landscapes rather than Italianate sources and became an important precursor to the BarbizonSchool.

: I REALLY WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT! i have a liquid breakfast, i exercise at LEAST 30 minutes a day, a bagel for lunch, a snack in the afternoon, and a well-rounded dinner. I AM NOT LOSING ANY WEIGHT! before i found an effective way of losing weight which was not eating....very much. one question about not eating--- can you GAIN weight if you have been eating little and then resume your normal eating pattern? how does this affect your metabolism????? please answer as soon as possible.......i need it
It indeed can be harder for your body to lose weight when you restrict your calories. When your body detects a drop in calories it counters by slowing your metabolism up to 20%. I had the same problem and it wasen't until I started eating smart that I began to notice a change. I have been useing a meal replacement made by Silmsense and it's eaiser to get the calories I need to maintain my lean body weight. Hope this helps and good luck.

Federal agents have arrested a man in Los Angeles they claim raised at least $12 million in an investment scam.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Wilner says Peter Frommer surrendered to FBI and IRS agents Friday. He didn't know whether Frommer had obtained an attorney.
A 17-count indictment charges Frommer with fraud, money laundering and failing to file taxes. It claims that from 2004 to 2006, he operated an investment scheme that supposedly bought and resold office equipment from defunct companies.
The indictment claims Frommer never bought anything, instead using the money to repay some investors and to fund a lavish lifestyle.
The indictment claims more than 50 investors in several states were bilked.

Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham on red alert as Yevhen Konoplyanka refuses new deal
LIVERPOOL, West Ham and Tottenham will be watching Yevhen Konoplyanka's contract situation with great interest.
The Ukranian winger nearly signed for the Reds in January and was the subject of bids from the two London club over the summer .
And now it is being reported that the 24-year-old will not not extend his contract at Dnipro meaning clubs from outside of Ukraine can open negations over a free transfer at the end of his deal from January 1.
It is understood that Konoplyanka is furious with Dnipro officials for blocking his chance of a move away, particulariy when Liverpool activated his release clause on deadline day in January.
Whether Liverpool would be interested in making a new offer for the forward remains to be seen - especially after their summer spending spree.
The Hammers and Spurs could be more likely to launch a bid as their interest is more recent.
Konoplyanka is said to be determined to leave Ukraine and find a top-end club in Western Europe after graduating from Dnipro's academy.

HUEMAN Allison Torneros
Allison Torneros is a new breed of pop artist. As a mixed media painter and graphic designer, she creates hybrid works driven by fast images and the online community. Taking a reactive approach to the creative process, she allows her paintings to do the 'talking': by throwing paint in an unpredictable manner, leaving it to dry overnight, then interpreting the random composition. Working on multiple pieces simultaneously, Torneros superimposes images implied by the paint. Born in 1985 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Torneros started drawing at the age of 2. Her early passion for art, coupled with her experience growing up in Silicon Valley, led her to pursue both digital and traditional avenues at a young age. At 11 years old she designed her first website, and began exhibiting her artwork in galleries only months after graduating high school. Torneros graduated from UCLA in 2008 with a Bachelors Degree in Design|Media Arts. While in her senior year of college, Torneros formed CircleDot – a creative studio whose roster includes such names as Disney, Procter & Gamble, as well as celebrities and innovative startup companies. Tickling the subconscious in her most recent works, elegantly rendered images poke through dreamy atmospheres of fluid elemental cloud colors, contrasted at times by striking iconic illustrations. Torneros is inspired by nature, by psychology, and by dreams. She goes with the feeling, conveying the kind of impressions that linger on the mind in the wake of sensual experience. written by Herbert Rusell

We may not be able to describe exactly why adult-film star Ron Jeremy is famous (this is a family site, after all), but reality TV fans know him from his days as one of the D-list roommates on VH1's "The Surreal Life."
When news broke today that the 59-year-old Jeremy had been hospitalized with a heart aneurysm, celebrities and Ron's adult-film colleagues flocked to Twitter to share their concern:
Please keep Ron in your thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. - (Management)#PrayForRon #Rontourage— Ron Jeremy (@RealRonJeremy) January 30, 2013

It's been a while since we've checked in with Marty Rudolf, our favorite News Junkie Online. Day in and day out, Marty shares interesting stories and tries interacting with various tweeters about The News. Marty seems to have toned down his Twitter feed for the time being, by the way. I personally had a discussion with him about him tweeting pictures of naked ladies in a stunt he was referring to as "Ta-Ta Tuesdays."
Our most recent Marty fascination comes from the relationship he has formed with Yahoo's Chris Moody. In a recent exchange, Moody turned the tables on Marty when he was asked a question about Scott Brown. Marty approached Moody earlier in the week and said, "How have you been, Chris? Do you think fmr Mass US Sen. Scott Brown will Run for President in 2016 for the GOP?" Moody flipped the script and simply asked him, "Do you?" Without missing a beat, Rudolf slaps on his pundit cap and responds, "Yes, I think he's Seriously Considering Running for President in 2016. I also feel NY Con. Peter King will Run for Pres as well."
With so many good vibes and political conversation flying around, Moody might have gotten carried away and invited Marty out for a drink the next time he visits Chicago, where Rudolf resides. Marty politely declined by saying, "I'd prefer just to chat on here in terms of the future. I hope you Understand!" Ouch. Moody could only respond by tweeting, "#Rejected."

prescription drugs
Anyone see Boston Legal the other week when Denny admitted to take 30-40 prescription pills a day because the adverts told him how good they were?
I don't care about the "Sex" part of the advert, I just don't want prescription drugs advertised to the public.I want an informed doctor to make the decision about what drugs I take.
Can you imagine, if you just got Hugh Laurie's voice-over on a TV add for a prescription medicine, how many people would hassle their doctor for that brand no matter what the (real) doctor said?

RB FA 5 years ago1 Comment
Michael Turner has received 17 goal-to-go carries this season, and executed for a touchdown on just three of them.
King of the annual late-season fade, Turner bottomed out with 15 scoreless yards on 13 carries in Week 10 against the NFL's worst run defense at New Orleans. Lacking any hint of burst, Turner was repeatedly stuffed on short-yardage plays. The Falcons figure to continue to start Turner, but he will remain a fantasy liability and is likely to get worse rather than better down the stretch.

Could this be one of the best plungers ever? A new standard? Many of Well Master's customers are thinking so.
Past standards of plunger lift like the Brush Plunger and Pad Plunger have served well for many years. Simple bar stock solid designs have an edge for low cost. But what else out there is inexpensive, has no moving parts, falls like a solid and lifts like a pad? What else can clean up a new drill and go on to be a steady performer at this price level? What else can take care of sand and paraffin, not to mention scale?
The patented groove design behind Well Master's proven Viper Plunger is the key to a turbulent seal unlike anything on the market. The variable depth over the length of the plunger increases turbulent pressure from bottom to top, resisting liquid drop back unlike any other solid plunger on the market and performing more like a dual pad or a brush plunger in this regard. Nobody else can offer this design or this performance.
The fluted bottom makes this plunger spin to clean the tubing, further increase turbulence and create a vortex action. The rotation helps in deviated wells too, ensuring wear is evened out and that one-sided premature failure doesn't occur.
In Colorado's D-J basin, many operators are now using Viper plungers right off the start with new wells, having great success in cleaning wells up quickly and then finding their strengths continue as production progresses.
The Texas panhandle has several operators moving away from brush and pad plungers as their standard issue tools and going to the simple and cost effective Viper instead.
In South Texas, wells with scale problems that were not able to run plungers have been converted and are running reliably.
Best plunger ever? Only you can tell.
Call or write today!
The Viper Plunger is protected under US Patent 6,200,103. Additional US and Foreign Patents Applied For.

Born in the early 50's, Mr. Dick Clark was a huge part of my entire life. I will miss what he brought to my ears, eyes and past. Such fond memories of watching American Bandstand with my brother. We grew up in New Jersey and the Philly connection was very strong.
RIP Mr. New Year's EVE... bless you

I well remember us as kids trying ALL the dances we saw on American Bandstand. In fact, there used to be old style home movies of all the kids wiggling around trying to imitate the greats. Never did master any of the dances but we could sing all the hit songs. I heard that it was not unusual for an artist to sell 100,000 records within 24 hours of introducing a new song on his show. I think we didn't buy many records in those days. All the records I owned fit in one of those little cardboard boxes with the plastic handle until I finished high school and we graduated to albums. Funny memories. So glad the home movies were tossed out with all the stuff in my folks attic.
Best to all. Thanks doc for the look back!

I am so mad, you just missed the best blog of the century. I hit preview and it disappeared. I am mad. What is going on? I am going to bed and I may try to recapture the greatest blog of ever. I honored Dick Clark and all of the greatest. Go find it in outer space and check out the preview and why it ate up my blog. Sob? Sob?

A University of California Los Angeles professor recently came under fire from a number of students for what they described as racist behavior. According to professor emeritus Val Rust, the entire controversy arose from his effort to instill in his students a higher grammar proficiency.
"I have attempted to be rather thorough on the papers and am particularly concerned that they do a good job with their bibliographies and citations," he explained in a letter, noting "these students apparently don't feel that is appropriate."
Advertisement - story continues below
He claimed that some students accused him of "micro-aggression" for pointing out mistakes in grammar and punctuation.
Rust noted that another complaint arose regarding a conversation about race that took place among a couple of students in one class. A number of demonstrators took part in the protest as some even occupied Rust's classroom.
TRENDING: Only Thing Crazier Than the Man Who Lives Every Day Like It's 1946 Is the Inside of His House
While students like Nora Cisneros joined in the sit-in demonstration, many of those who know Rust best are quick to come to his defense.
"It is disturbing that students would make such unfounded accusations base on misperceptions of what they believe is racism," said Emily Le, a graduate student at UCLA and longtime acquaintance of Rust.
Advertisement - story continues below
In all, about 25 students participated in the event, which both Rust and Le said could have been far more effective if protesters had allowed for an open discussion of the issue instead of a unilateral protest.
"If they were trying to create a bigger dialogue for the community to discuss," Le reasoned, "they would have chosen the town hall we have once a quarter or talked to the dean to discuss their issues."
Instead, as with almost all protests, participants tried to appeal to emotion in spreading their views rather than backing up their position with reason and fact. Their intent, according to one of the professor's colleagues, was not to highlight the issue of racism but to trash Rust's reputation.
At this point, the professor's many supporters are afraid the school will now devolve into conflict as a result of the protest.
Advertisement - story continues below
Too many in our racially charged society are eager to lob accusations against individuals with little or no evidence to back them up. Unfortunately, our media culture is equally eager to take these claims at face value.
Racism is a difficult charge to disprove, which explains why it is such a popular accusation among leftists.

Technetium Generator used to produce radioactive isotopes, England, 1993
Radioactive isotopes are used for a number of nuclear medicine diagnostic procedures. These include radio-imaging to detect carcinomas and tumours. A technetium generator extracts a radioactive isotope – in this case Technetium-99m (99mTc). This is used in diagnostic investigations. But as 99mTc has a half-life of only six hours, it has to be produced just before it is injected into a patient. The 'Amertech II' technetium generator is made by pharmaceutical company Amersham International. It specialises in medical diagnostics and life science products. The production model (998-635) on the left has a handle to easily transport the unit. It is shown with a demonstration model on the right (1998-636), which has a transparent outer case to show the internal parts.

text: Anyone built a subwoofer into their stage? I've often read of folks filling the interior of their stage/proscenium with sand and then placing their subwoofer on the stage. The sand used to kill any resonance. I'm strongly considering building a DIY Subwoofer into my proscenium (and NOT filling it with sand ) The Fed-Ex guy just delivered a new Ascendant Audio Avalanche 18" driver and my wife had asked when I initally ordered it if I could build it into our stage/proscenium. I said "sure, but the stage will have to be a bit bigger to accomodate it" New Avalanche 18" Driver The approximate external dimensions of the new proscenium-sub will be 15" high, 96" wide, and 36" deep at its center tapering to 28" deep at the ends. This gives me quite a large amount of internal volume to work with. I plan on a lot of internal bracing so I'm planning on building it as two halves. I'll bolt the two halves together once it is in place in the theater. (It would be too heavy to handle myself otherwise) I was originally thinking of a ported sub tuned to 12Hz, but in doing the following rendering, I think it might be easier to make it a sealed sub and use two drivers. I'll make the final decision later. Fortunatly, the same volume enclosure would work in both a "single driver ported" or "dual driver sealed" alignments according to the samples shown on the Ascendant Audio web-site. I use a BFD equalizer, so I can handle just about any resulting frequency response. I'm a beginner at 3D rendering, but this should give you an idea of what I'm planning. The drivers will be mounted downfiring attached to sloped baffles. Ideas, comments, suggestions anyone? (as I get started) I'm off to buy some plywood and MDF. Joe L.

Angela Eagle, the shadow chief secretary to the Treasury, leads the low pay review. Eagle's remit includes the quality and security of low-paid jobs, young people, black people and ethnic minorities, the disabled, and the relationship between low pay and quality of life.
Tom Clark writes:
The polling shows that the minimum wage was – by a country mile – the most popular policy of the New Labour years. Ever since, the party has been trying to devise popular policies that build upon that without, and here's the rub, pushing up the costs of employment in a way that endangers jobs.
In Labour's last manifesto, which Ed Miliband wrote, it was proposed to peg the minimum wage automatically to the average rise in earnings across the economy. That would make a difference over the years, but its immediate appeal is blunted by the fact that economy-wide wages are so depressed at the moment.
The other thing we heard a great deal about in Labour's leadership election campaign was the so-called "living wage", the idea of pay sufficient for workers to live on without recourse to benefits. With the public funds that might be redistributed through benefits in such short supply, Miliband is desperate to pull levers which can raise pay directly. The question is what practicable policies can he devise to press employers to pay a living wage?

Alvin John Paddock (born June 9, 1954 in Oak River, Manitoba) is a former Canadian ice hockey player and the former head coach of the Winnipeg Jets and Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL). He currently serves as head coach for the Philadelphia Phantoms of the American Hockey League (AHL).
Selected in the 1974 NHL Entry Draft by the Washington Capitals, Paddock only played 8 games with the Capitals before he was traded to the Philadelphia Flyers. He played a memorable role in the 1980 Stanley Cup Finals, scoring the tying goal to send game 6 of the Finals into overtime. Unfortunately for the Flyers, Bob Nystrom scored at 7:11 of overtime to win the Stanley Cup.
Throughout his career he had a difficult time trying to crack the lineup on an NHL team. Playing primarily in the minors, in particular the Maine Mariners, Paddock retired as a player in 1983–84 and moved to the coaching side.

As a Web developer, I build custom, easy-to-use Web sites for clients using principles of user-centered design. Over the past 15 years, I've worked on complicated e-commerce Web sites for large corporations, helped small organizations launch their first Web sites, and built Web-site prototypes for use in academic research on how people use computers. Some of my recent projects help users to organize and visualize large amounts of data—for example, political contribution data from federal and state governments and online content in a Web archiving system.
As an author, I write books that teach people how to make sense of complicated software such as Photoshop, build their own Web sites, and use popular online services. I also teach elementary students how to create Web pages by writing HTML and communicate using social-networking tools such as blogs.

GcMAF for the treatment of breast cancer: Retraction of an article by Yamamoto et al.
Peer-review, that is the evaluation of work by one or more people of similar competence to the producers of the work, before publication of scientific articles is meant to be a very strict process to guarantee the publication of good quality literature only. This process, however, has some limitations and sometimes inaccurate articles might get published anyway. Correcting the literature by means of retracting articles from publication is not an uncommon process in such cases. Indeed, we should always remain critical, share our opinion with others and we should certainly not refrain from discussing scientific findings.
Between 2008 and 2009 a series of peer-reviewed articles reporting the successful treatment of breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and HIV using a protein called GcMAF (Gc protein-derived macrophage activating factor) by Yamamoto et al. were published. The theory behind these articles mainly comes down to the belief that high levels of an enzyme called Nagalase (α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase) in the blood inhibits GcMAF. This protein is claimed to activate macrophages, a type of white blood cells which are key players in the immune response to foreign invaders of the body, to fight cancer and HIV. Yamamoto et al. proposed to use GcMAF manufactured by them as a possible treatment for cancer and HIV. Later on, although Yamamoto et al. never published any clinical research article on GcMAF as treatment for other diseases, proponents of GcMAF started claiming that GcMAF would also be effective to treat autism, chronic fatigue syndrome and other ailments, thereby always measuring Nagalase levels to evaluate disease progression. So far however, no scientist has ever validated the measurement of Nagalase in the blood as a marker of the diseases claimed to be cured by GcMAF. Considering all the contradictions in this theory, the tenets in oncology that have been violated while developing it, and most importantly, the illegal commercialization of GcMAF on the internet, the Anticancer Fund decided to investigate this matter further.
Many inconsistencies on the actual development of the trials supporting GcMAF use in cancer and HIV were found. Consequently, the Anticancer Fund team informed the editors of the journals where Yamamoto published his cancer-related articles on their concerns. Recently, after thorough discussions, the article claiming that breast cancer can be treated with GcMAF, which was published by the International Journal of Cancer, was retracted, the retraction notice can be found here. At this moment, the ACF team is waiting for further actions by the editors of the journals where the two other cancer-related articles by Yamamoto et al. were published. "The poor quality of the research supporting the use of GcMAF to treat cancer and other diseases; plus the illegal and aggressive marketing of this product over the internet has impeded proper independent research to elucidate its true value in cancer treatment" indicated Lydie Meheus PhD, Director of the Anticancer Fund. "Our goal is to avoid that cancer patients are misled by seemingly scientific evidence that turns out to be of questionable quality" Dr. Meheus added.

TALENT SEARCH - (GOSPEL) TOUR - AUDITION HELD 12/27/14 IN ATLANTA,GA - CALL (818-280-9790)TO REGISTER www.facebook.com/christiancityrecords
Hello, Rick
I have listened to your tracks and I should say that the music is very good and interesting, and I like it! But I still have a feeling that it is just a demo-recording. Please don't take offence, as it does not concern your talent as an author and executor by any means. The thing is that I also perceive music from the point of view of the music industry, where perfect sound of separate instruments is cultivated as well as perfect sound quality in general. If you like, I can make your compositions sound on a highly professional and competitive level.
For this purpose, I can make PRO Arrangements, write the Keyboard, Synth, Drums and Percussion Programming,
Bass-Guitar Recording, etc.
I can also make the Instrument Correction, and finally Mixing and Mastering.
All this will make your compositions reach a brand new level!
We can also remake the old compositions, and of course write a new album.
If you are interested, please contact me and we'll discuss the conditions of work: email@example.com
You can listen to my New Solo Album "A Secret Wish" and bonus tracks if you click this link:
Best regards,
Alexander A.Kuzmin - composer, arranger, bassist and mix engineer.

I need to add an "Email Address" field to the comments form, so it can look like every other commenting system on the web.
Howard Grigg wrote a patch to add this field 14 months ago (http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/2576) which was turned down in favour of decorating pagecomments (http://open.silverstripe.org/ticket/3093). This ticket is still open and I can't find any docs saying it can be done.
So... is there a way to add an email field, and can anyone provide a code example?

There are two things I cherish about my job.
1. The company that I represent and the product I sell.
2. And the people I work with.
As most of you know, the people you work with can make or break your workday. Therefore, if you really enjoy your coworkers, it makes going into work so much more pleasurable.
My coworkers and I are very diligent in our jobs, but we like to have fun at the same time.
I sincerely believe that when people bring humor into their workplace, it makes for a more enjoyable work experience, so you produce more.
You will often hear laughter coming from our department because we're forever cracking each other up with funny stories or crazy shenanigans. And we're fortunate, because we all seem to enjoy a similar sense of humor.
I also need to add here that these same people were extremely loving, caring and kind to me when my mother passed away last November, both emotionally and financially. While I was gone for two weeks, they all pitched in and supported and promoted my business so that my figures wouldn't go down during my absence.
I feel very blessed to work with such an awesome group of ladies and gents, because the business I'm in, you don't find that too often.
True Confession
I've always had a secret desire to put on a tutu and dance in the ballet, Swan Lake.
Yeah, I know...I ain't right.
To me there is something so thrilling about the feel of a tutu around my waist, as I perform 32 continuous fouettés en tournant without getting dizzy and throwing up.
Now mind you, I've never danced ballet in my life. And because I'm 57 years old and MALE, I will probably never get a chance to put on a tutu and dance in ANY ballet, let alone, Swan Lake.
Last Friday my dream came true, when I was finally able to wear a tutu and dance to the music of Swan Lake.
One of the gentlemen I work with is involved in theater as a choreographer and show director, who just so happened to have a few TUTUS at home, which he keeps on hand as costumes for the dancers in his shows.
And when he told me that he would bring TWO tutus in last week (one for me and one for my coworker, Lisa) I reacted with such excitement and enthusiasm, you would have sworn he was bringing me the Holy Grail.
On the day that the tutus arrived, Lisa and I INSTANTLY put them on and started posing, twirling, and dancing as if we were prima ballerinas.
But as you will see in the video clip, I'm MUCH prettier than Lisa.
A bunch of my coworkers took out their iPhones and snapped photos and video clips of the two of us.
OMG…it was SO. MUCH. FUN.
Here is a short clip I put together with photos, video and music of prima ballerina, Lisa and Ron, getting ready to perform, Swine Lake.
Please enjoy…

A correction officer faces life in prison for shooting to death his ex-girlfriend to dodge "child support obligations," prosecutors said in opening statements in Queens court today.
Christopher Clavell, 48 of Staten Island, is accused of killing Barbara Perez almost 13 years ago behind The Power Factory Gym in Ridgewood where she worked as an assistant manager.
"The defendant complained about his financial woes and was enraged with Perez for his child support obligations," assistant district attorney Richard Schaeffer told jurors during his openings.
Perez, 30, was hit with one bullet to the chest and eight to the head.
Hours after the Aug. 11, 2000 shooting, Clavell was "thoroughly" questioned by several detectives and search warrants of his home, car and gym bag returned with negative forensic evidence to match the bloody scene.
The 20-year veteran of the city Department of Correction wasn't pinned to the crime until April 2011.
If convicted, Clavell faces 25 years to life for the second-degree murder charges.
"This case is driven by facts and facts only," said Clavell's attorney Joey Jackson. "If he didn't want the kid why would he petition for custody after Perez was murdered?"
Perez and Clavell's son was only 2-years-old at the time. Perez's family was awarded custody.
Prosecutors intend to prove that Clavell confided in convicted felons to obtain an illegal weapon and was seen by others in the neighborhood with a "bruise on his temple".
"Of course the boyfriend or husband did it," said Jackson sarcastically. "Connecting Clavell is the easy way out."

Zinfandel's Renaissance Featured at Zap's New Zinfandel Experience Trade & Media Seminar and Tasting
San Francisco, CA (November 21, 2013) -- Zinfandel's Renaissance will be explored at Zinfandel Advocates & Producers (ZAP) 'hot topic' seminar led by senior editor Tim Fish, Wine Spectator, and a panel of innovators Wednesday, Jan. 22, at the Rock Wall Wine Company, Alameda. The panel includes winemakers Morgan Twain-Peterson, Bedrock; Mike Office, Carlisle; and Tegan Passalacqua, Turley Wine Cellars. Wine Spectator is the Media sponsor for the 2014 Trade and Media program.
"America's heritage varietal is poised for a comeback," Fish said. "This trend, lessons learned and innovations ahead will be addressed by the group of dedicated winemakers. Zinfandel, California's quintessential wine is growing beyond its cult status and entering the big time."
"You've missed a lot if you haven't followed Zinfandel the past few years," said Fish. "A quiet revolution has been going on in California, as a group of Zinfandel firebrands are raising the bar on quality that is finally seeing fruition. Over the past decade or so, the greatest strides in the past decade have come in the vineyard, not the winery, helping to bring definition and focus to this distinctly California wine," he continued.
ZAP's pre-event Trade & Media program and tasting is a private opportunity for members of the trade and media to discover and explore the latest Zinfandel releases and talk with the winemakers. The seminar will be held in the Dome, 1 p.m. - 2 p.m., and the Tasting in the Hangar, 2 p.m. - 5 p.m., at Rock Wall Wine Company, 2301 Monarch, Alameda. Two complimentary tickets are offered to each qualified trade account; additional tickets are $50 each. To sign up for the event, please visit the new Zinfandel Experience Trade & Media Seminar and Tasting.
The Trade & Media Seminar and Tasting pre-event is the first event of the all new Zinfandel Experience January 23-25 at the Presidio in San Francisco. The 2014 Zinfandel Experience has been entirely reimagined with new content, tasting formats and location. It replaces the former Zinfandel Festival that has been retired. Consumer/Trade tickets are available online to purchase now and the events and tasting programs are expected to sell out.

* When selecting a recording of an upcoming event, the digital download will be available approximately 2-3 business days after event is held.
Cash flow forecasting is one of the most critical aspects of running a business of any
size. Knowing when money is coming in or going out and how much is being exchanged is often the deciding factor when it comes to
making key business decisions. Whether your organization is in growth mode, status quo, losing ground or survival mode, cash flow
forecasting is critical to your success. Are you confident in your current forecasting strategy? This course can help you!
Inadequate cash flow forecasting management is one of the leading causes of
business failure. Many organizations only begin to focus on cash flow management during bad times. Having a good system in place to
manage cash flow during good times contributes to an organization's success, allowing it to take advantage of opportunities for
growth and providing a competitive edge.
Does your organization have an effective cash flow forecasting strategy
in place, or do you find yourself…
An effective cash flow training course can help you avoid these common
pitfalls and put you in complete control of your resources. From this workshop, you'll be able to recognize vendor terms that don't favor your
organization so you can negotiate a better contract. You'll discover the impact slow receivables have on your bottom line and how
obsolete or slow-moving inventory leads to higher inventory costs. Most importantly, you'll learn how to identify areas of
opportunity for trimming expenses.
Don't leave your organization suspect to insufficient funds or missed opportunities
due to poor cash flow management. Effective cash flow modeling puts you in charge of your cash flow, allowing you to make
essential purchases, cover operating costs and plan for future growth. From this program, you'll be ready to handle unexpected expenses, jump at new
opportunities with confidence and always stay one step ahead of the competition.
Financial managers, accounting clerks, comptrollers, small-business owners, managers, supervisors — anyone who deals with cash coming in or going out of your organization.
As always, your satisfaction is our #1 priority. If for any reason you're dissatisfied, we'll arrange for you to attend another seminar,
choose a different product, or receive a full refund — hassle free!

Dimming Limitations Under California's Title 24
Our expert, Randall Whitehead, IALD, addresses color temperature issues with dimmed LEDs.
I'm upgrading the lights in my Menlo Park, CA, kitchen. A local lighting showroom recommended LED fixtures that come in a range of color temperatures. My architect friend says low voltage halogens produce a warmer light. What's your opinion?
Your architect friend is right. Low voltage halogens do produce a warmer light, but unfortunately they do not fulfill Title 24 requirements for kitchens in California. If your kitchen electrical upgrade is being inspected, you will need to use LEDs or fluorescents to meet the efficacy requirements. The downside is that neither fluorescents nor LEDs get warmer in color as they are dimmed. The upside is that they could save you thousands of dollars in energy costs over the years and will last 30,000 to 50,000 hours (halogens last 2,000 to 3,500 hours and regular incandescent bulbs last around 750 hours). I have LEDs installed in my kitchen in San Francisco, but I do miss the golden warmth of a dimmed incandescent. I have taken to wearing amber glasses instead.

IF there was a world record for the largest number of talented people all on one stage then the Mayflower Theatre would have certainly smashed it.
Hundreds of people – 467 in fact – brought the Southampton theatre alive with a simply superb evening of music and dance.
And what's more, they were all doing it because they love it – and they wanted to help raise tens of thousands of pounds for a vital charity helping heart patients across Hampshire.
Rapturous applause, whoops and whistles came aplenty from the audience who were on their feet by the end of the three-hour extravaganza.
But there was another special reason for the celebrations, as the news was announced that Wessex Heartbeat's High Five Appeal had reached its £500,000 target.
As revealed yesterday, the Daily Echo-backed charity appeal will fund a state of the art centre for young people aged 16-30 being treated for heart problems at Southampton General.
And as the charity's chief executive Alison Farrell made the announcement, confetti rained down on to a thrilled cast.
Millbrook-born comedian Mike Osman was compere for the night and had the audience in stitches between stage changes, while Southampton Olympian diver Pete Waterfield also made a guest appearance wearing little more than his trunks – to the delight of the ladies of the Spinnaker Chorus.
There were also stunning performances by the Romsey Male Voice Choir, the Mayflower Musical Youth Theatre and the youngsters of Hampshire Collegiate Prep School.
And the music was brought bang up to date by the fabulous E-Minor Pop Academy.
Parkewood School of Dance showed why they have gone on to create some of the finest ballet dancers while StudioSO, A&L Academy of Dance, the Heartbeat Tappers and local youngsters in Dance 8 all put on dazzling displays.

Forest Protected Areas Can Help Slow Climate Change
A new study involving scientists from 13 different organizations, universities and research institutions states that forest protection offers one of the most effective, practical, and immediate strategies to combat climate change. The study, "Indigenous Lands, Protected Areas, and Slowing Climate Change," was published in the March 2010 issue of PLoS Biology—a peer-reviewed scientific journal. The report makes specific recommendations for incorporating protected areas into overall strategies to Reduce Emissions of greenhouse gases from Deforestation and forest Degradation (nicknamed REDD).
According to the study, "Forest clearing and degradation account for roughly 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than all the cars, trains, planes, ships, and trucks on earth. This is simply too big a piece of the problem to ignore; fail to reduce it and we will fail to stabilize our climate."
Taylor Ricketts, director of World Wildlife Fund's science program and lead author of the study, remarked, "Our paper emphasizes that creating and strengthening indigenous lands and other protected areas can offer an effective means to cut emissions while garnering numerous additional benefits for local people and wildlife." The paper highlights analyses showing that since 2002, deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon has been 7 to 11 times lower inside of indigenous lands and other protected areas than elsewhere.
For more information and specific details on cost and how forest nations can strengthen the role of protected areas in their REDD strategies, see WWF's Press Release: Study Highlights Forest Protected Areas as a Critical Strategy for Slowing Climate Change (16 March 2010).

Legal Question in Family Law in California
I did not get prenup before I get married, how can I protect my asset?
I'm living in Calif., got married out of country and in process to get green card for my wife, thanks.
2 Answers from Attorneys
You should speak to a competent attorney with experience in family law and estate planning issues and see if you can do a "post-nuptial" agreement.
You can always do a post-nuptual agreement. The only question is what can go in it and how to make sure it is both fair and "sticks." You will need a local attorney to work with in person on that. You can also expect to need to pay an independent attorney to at least review and advise your wife on signing it. It will be cheap insurance against her later claiming she was railroaded into signing it, and it may be mandatory depending on the provisions you include.

The Manatee County School Board is expected to approve its 2010/2011 fiscal year budget at a public hearing at 5:45 p.m., Thursday, Sept. 9, at the School Board of Manatee County, 215 Manatee Ave. W.
School board members gave preliminary approval for an operating budget of about $625 million at their Aug. 2 meeting. The budget includes enacting a quarter-mill "critical needs" tax that is being allowed by the state legislature. The increase for this school year was offset by a quarter-mill decrease in millage for capital projects.
Superintendent Tim McGonegal has said the increase is needed to avoid cutting elective programs such as JROTC, music and other electives and that the district has trimmed its budget as much as it can without impacts to the classroom.
The school district this year faced a roughly $8.7 million budget reduction after trimming more than $44 million over the last two years. The millage increase approved Monday night is expected to generate about $6.4 million.
Tonight's meeting also will include the district's second public hearing on class-size reduction.

Canadian drummer Owen Howard is a veteran session musician, performing with the crème de la crème of modern jazz heroes. He's also an impressive solo artist, witnessed on his fifth release, Drum Lore.
Howard delves into the musicality and compositional acumen of renowned jazz drummers, sans one original work. Ultimately, his formidable band projects a radiant outlook, spiced with more than enough pop, sizzle and cunning theme-building exercises as he pursues choice works by Billy Hart, Ed Blackwell and other drumming greats.
Howard's passion for the drums is clearly evident. In effect, he accentuates the musicality of these famous artists, yet does not mimic styles or provides literal translations of the core material. He drops a few bombs along the way, but serves as the primal force behind the music, and his arrangements encompass great depth and keen use of space.
The drummer peppers and prods the frontline via oscillating flows and snappy breakouts. His rendition of Jack DeJohnette's "Zoot Suite," features the familiar bass part amid the tightly packed and swirling horns choruses. Here, soprano saxophonist Andy Middleton's sinuous lines offer a supple framework during the bridge. Another highlight is Howard's take on Paul Motian's atmospheric but deterministic piece "It Should've Happened a Long Time Ago," where the soloists spawn the rather humble melody with ostinatos atop the leader's buoyantly sweeping maneuvers.
Howard's "Roundabout," alludes to a strong compositional pen, which is a work that is designed with circular phrasings and generates a synchronized balance between tenderness and firepower. He injects polyrhythmic flurries to instill a sense of rolling hills and curvy roads, to complement several melodic variations.
Drum Lore is a vibrant, and hugely entertaining endeavor. Howard's ideologies and modus operandi yield rewarding results. A superior technician, he beefs up the set with shrewdly placed dynamics and casts an aura that exudes the utmost admiration for these venerable drummers, past and present.

First presented this passed week on the runway in Milan, as part of the Missoni Autumn/Winter 2011 men's collection, we can give you a more detailed look at the Converse Auckland Racer designed by the Italian fashion house. The 70s running shoe, paired with the trademark Missoni fabrics came out very nice and very different from your usual sneaker. The shoe was presented during the fashion show in two colorways, but unfortunately it looks like it will not be going on sale.
Further images of the sneakers follow after the jump.

Supervisors make short work of agenda
Seven minutes was time enough to take care of the business before the Washington County Board of Supervisors this morning. The agenda had three items to take care of.
Public Health administrator Danielle Pettit-Majewski told the supervisors that due to the resignation of Dr. Lloyd Holm from the board of health, the board of health approved the appointment of Dr. Trevor Martin to the board. Holm will continue on the board through June of this year. Martin will begin on July 1, 2014.
County engineer Jacob Thorius presented a resolution to the board to purchase right of way for a construction project. He said the right of way is needed for a culvert extension project on Wayland Road. The purchase price to Donald L. Beenblossom Trust is $3,489 for 0.85 acres.
The board approved the resolution on a unanimous voice vote.
The final action Chairman Steve Davis explained was to approve the withdrawal of an application for a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination Systems (NPDES) permit. In a letter to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, the board stated, "The permit application was submitted by RUSS (Regional Utility Service Systems) and stated that a controlled discharge lagoon was going to be built to treat Richmond's wastewater."
The letter also noted that the date on the permit application was Oct. 2, 2009.
Davis said that because the lagoon project was canceled, there is no longer a need for the permit.
The board approved the letter.
Iowa Bridge & Culvert plans to begin the bridge construction project on Wayland Road April 7. Thorius said Wayland Road will be closed that day.
Supervisor Richard Young said that all the funds through the Low-Income Heat Energy Assistance Program (LiHEAP) have been spent. He said some people who cannot pay their utility bill may have their utilities shut off in April. He also said that HACAP is working on a policy that will make Old Main smoke-free.
Auditor Dan Widmer reminded everyone that the next board of supervisors' meeting will be held at 9:30 a.m. Monday, March 31, due to elections in the Washington and Mid-Prairie school districts on Tuesday, April 1. The board of supervisors' room will be a polling place on April 1.

Here's to You P.D. James
July 14, 2010
I have always been a fan of British writers. There is something about reading books that take you to a different time and place. I am a bit of an Anglophile anyway, so anything involving the tiny island across the pond calls to me. I love Val McDermid, Peter Robinson, and especially P.D. James. Currently in her eighties, James has published over 20 books. Since 1962, she has been charming us with the Inspector Dalgliesh mysteries.
It was this series that first brought her to my attention. I happened to check out an audio book of The Murder Room (12 in the series). With amazing clarity, she portrays her main character, Inspector Adam Dalgiesh as a sensitive and highly astute policeman. While the crimes may not be as gory and grotesque as current writers (don't feel bad, I love these too), they are full of death and buried secrets. The crimes take a clever creative mind to solve, and the storyline and crime solving follow a natural pace with the occasional comedic moment to lighten the mood. James' characters are never cut and dry which make them deep and unforgettable.
From number 12, I returned to number one, Cover Her Face, and I am now slowly moving my way through the series. While the books stand alone as good reads, if you are an audio book person, then these novels also make excellent listens as well. I do suggest reading them in order, but all stand alone as enjoyable works. Give her a try and see what you think.

So the virus writer SPTH has returned to the scene, in some sense. He has written a DOS virus. And not just any DOS virus. This one is, wait for it, executable ASCII! Yay.
His inspiration is apparently the EICAR anti-virus test file, however the only thing that they have in common is that they are both executable ASCII.
The EICAR anti-virus test file is so much more than just executable ASCII, and SPTH's virus is so... not that.
The EICAR anti-virus test file uses a more restrictive character set than just the printable characters.
The EICAR anti-virus test file was designed to be short (it's only 68 bytes of code/text).
The EICAR anti-virus test file was designed to be described easily by, for example, telephone. This rules out some characters such as quotation marks.
The EICAR anti-virus test file was also designed to be read unambiguously. This rules out characters such as 'O' and '0', or space and underscore, since they are easily mistaken for each other.
Finally, because the EICAR anti-virus test file is self-modifying, it had to use a trick to avoid the prefetch-queue cache bug that exists on CPUs prior to the Pentium. The trick that the EICAR anti-virus test file uses to avoid the bug is to place the modified bytes beyond the end of the queue, and to use a branch instruction to reach it. In fact, the branch instruction is not required at all. It simply allows the execution to proceed more "cleanly". The "EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$" string can be executed safely (there is no risk of illegal memory accesses, etc), so the branch instruction can be removed. Important registers are altered, but the alteration occurs in a predictable way that can be reversed.
Further, the pointer construction is inefficient, and can be achieved in fewer bytes. All these things are the basis for my 59 bytes version. You know what they say - size does matter.
SPTH's virus, on the other hand, is about as opposite as possible. It has no restrictions on the character set.
The decoder is large and repetitive (each byte is decoded individually, instead of using a loop and, for example, the IMUL 30 method or the Base64 method). It's more than eight times larger than the virus code itself! The code is so large that the prefetch-queue cache bug is not a concern.
Oh, and it's an overwriter of .com files in the current directory.
Another funny thing - DOS executes in a 16-bit environment, but the virus code saves and restores the 32-bit registers. Just in case something or other, I suppose.
So it seems that SPTH loves the 80s so much that he's reliving them. If that means that all we'll be seeing from him are viruses for a dead platform, that's good news for us.

Lady Liberty Arrived in New York Harbor Today in 1885
On June 17, 1885, as a gift from the French, the now iconic Statue of Liberty arrived dismantled by boat in New York Harbor, according to The History Channel.
Lady Liberty was shipped across the Atlantic in 350 pieces packed in more than 200 cases and was "reassembled and dedicated the following year in a ceremony presided over by US President Grover Cleveland,'' The History Channel said.
As a gift of friendship, Edouard de Laboulaye, known as the "Father of the Statue of Liberty,'' proposed the idea for a statue in 1865 to represent the freedom and democracy Americans held sacred. According to the National Park Service, Laboulaye believed the US statue would increase the desire to gain the same democracy in France. He formed the Franco-American Union to fundraise.
France paid for the statue, named "Liberty Enlightening the World,'' and America agreed to pick up the tab for the pedestal.Auguste Bartholdi, a French architect, designed her.
Laboulaye wanted the statue to be completed by 1876 for America's 100th birthday, but funding issues delayed completion till summer 1884.
She weighs 450,000 pounds and stands at more than 305 feet.
Here are some other Lady Liberty fun facts:
1. Alexandre-Gustave Eiffel, who later designed the Eiffel Tower, helped sculpt the inner framework to support the statue.
2. Her head was on display at the World's Fair in Parisin 1878, according to The Telegraph.
3. She has a 35-foot waist.
4. "Lady Liberty is thought to have been hit by around 600 bolts of lightning every year since she was built,'' according to The Daily Mail.
5. According to CNN, the seven rays on her crown symbolize the seven seas and seven continents.
6. Approximately 4 million people visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island every year, the New York Harbor Parks reports.
Happy Birthday, Lady Liberty!

"I will always be thankful that Amanda was part of my wedding. Since I don't live in the Adirondacks, I didn't meet Amanda until the morning of my wedding day, but it was easy to email and talk on the phone before the event to talk through all the details. Amanda has a calm manner that was reassuring in planning a destination-type wedding. She was professional about her services and her prices. There were no surprises. And the moment I met Amanda before the ceremony, I felt even better about her. She was wonderful. My family loved her. My husband and I don't like posing for photos, but somehow Amanda made it seem effortless. After the wedding, we got a sneak peak of a photo emailed to us right away. The online proofs followed within a reasonable time after – less time than many people I know who had to wait months and months for their proofs. And then Amanda kept being wonderful. Together we designed an album with real mounted photographs, not a printed photo book like a lot of photographers push on their clients. We received the album about three months after our wedding date. When I opened the package, I jumped up and down, and got teared up at the same time. The album is beautiful, like an heirloom. The photos have such depth, light, and color. Amanda has an incredible eye, and I can't have asked for more beautiful wedding photos. Or a better person to be part of one of the best days of my life! I can't thank you enough, Amanda." Alison & Erik Lake Placid Wedding 5 / 5 stars
Thanks for stopping by! I'm so glad you're interested in my services and I would love to chat with you.

Don Truluck, the 72-year-old missing hunter from Oconee County, was found alive around 10 a.m. Sunday morning according to Oglethorpe County emergency management director Steven Hooper.
Truluck was found about a mile outside of his hunting camp. Searchers found him next to a tree. He was in stable condition and was taken to Athens Regional Medical Center for further evaluation, according to Hooper.
Truluck had not been seen since Oct. 3 around 1 p.m. at his hunting camp in Maxeys. Oglethorpe County Sheriff's Office was alerted Friday afternoon of Truluck's disappearance.
A search began Friday afternoon. Search operations were suspended last night around 7 p.m. and searchers regrouped Sunday morning to continue the search.
According to Hooper, it was the largest search and rescue operation in Oglethorpe County's history.
Oglethorpe County Emergency Management Agency, Oglethorpe County Sherriff's Office, Oglethorpe County Rescue, Oglethorpe County Fire Department, Oglethorpe County EMS, First Responders and Auxiliary, Oglethorpe County CERT team, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia State Patrol Aviation Division, Georgia Emergency Management Agency, Georgia Forestry, Oconee County EMA, Fire and Rescue, Wilkes County EMA, Fire and EMS, Greene County EMA, Fire, and EMS, Madison County EMA, Fire, and EMS, Athens Clarke County Police Department, American Red Cross, Georgia Piedmont K-9 Search and Rescue, Alpha team K-9 Search and Rescue, Central GA K-9 Search And Rescue, 5th Calvary Unit and volunteer citizens were among those that helped in the search.
"I would like to personally thank everyone for their help and support on behalf of Oglethorpe County," Hooper said in a press release.

State legislators are getting an earful of complaints about high-stakes testing — but the real high stakes involve those kids who lack the skills to make it in the world. Lawmakers would do young people a disservice, if not outright harm, if they were to retreat from holding schools accountable for student progress.
At the same time, legislators must constructively address the cries for change in the accountability system. Measuring and assessing student performance has enjoyed bipartisan support for three decades, but superintendents increasingly are pushing back against the new STAAR exam. STAAR is the latest version of Texas' achievement test, the centerpiece of the accountability system.
The yin-and-yang over accountability could become the central drama when lawmakers gather in January for the next legislative session. So far, the conversation mostly has been constructive — and it should stay that way.
For example, Gov. Rick Perry has supported a delay in using results from end-of-course exams in computing grades for high school students. Those exams are part of a battery of tests that students must take to finish high school. Scores were to count 15 percent of a grade in a relevant subject. After Perry suggested a one-year postponement, Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams made that change official Friday.
That's a reasonable move. Students still must score a passing average on enough of the exams to earn a diploma. They cannot be exempted from STAAR tests.
Meanwhile, legislators will have time to consider a new proposal by Senate Education Committee Chairman Dan Patrick, R-Houston, to allow districts to decide whether to use end-of-course scores in final grades.
We also like that Williams is considering using several measures to assess a school's performance. His tentative list includes STAAR scores, progress students are making on the test, the readiness of a school's students for college and the degree to which campuses are closing the achievement gaps between Anglo and minority students.
Those measures should satisfy superintendents who complain that the achievement exam counts for too much of a school's overall year-end assessment. The elements on Williams' list also are critical for parents and students, who deserve to know how well a campus prepares all of its students.
Conversations about changing the school ratings system also are moving in the right direction. Today, schools are rated exemplary, recognized, acceptable or unacceptable. Williams is considering using letter grades, ranging from A to F.
Students, parents and educators need to hear more about this idea. We hope it and other reforms offered over the next few months are presented with a spirit of compromise. The state needs to hold fast to the goal of greater accountability and benchmarking of schools while being open to reasonable alternatives to get there.
What he said
"We have got to close that gap so we can fill jobs, recruit new jobs and generate wealth and prosperity for the state." — Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams, speaking about the achievement gap between Anglo and minority students

SAN ANTONIO, March 5 (UPI) -- A mobile eatery in Texas serving up hot Korean food has been truck-blocked.
The CockAsian food truck will not permitted to serve at Port San Antonio as planned, and will head to The Point on March 9 instead.
Port San Antonio's more than 12,000 employees will not have the chance to chow down on spicy Korean fare from the truck because of its name.
"We thought the name could be offensive to others," Port San Antonio spokesman Paco Fellici told Fox 29.
According to food truck owner Candie Yoder, the controversy surrounding the truck's name has helped spread the word about her business on social media.
"I am surprised. I thought it would get a little bit of cajoling, but nothing like this," Yoder said.
She shared the sad news on the truck's Facebook page.
"Unfortunately our name was deemed to risque for Port SA so we will not be there on Thursday. It makes me sad that the spoken and written word are the most censored forms of art. CockAsian to us is word that has boundless meanings none of which are sexual or a racial slur. If any of you has any contacts at the Port you might want to let them know that you would like to see us there and I would be more than happy to discuss the basis for our name with them."
As much as the truck's name has gotten some people hot under the collar, Yoder indicated the food could have the same effect. "My Korean is based more on what they would get served in Korea, so it's spicy!" she said.

Health care is playing a bigger role in this election than in any presidential contest in the past. "There are now more than 45 million people in America without health insurance for the entire year; almost twice that number lack coverage for at least a month out of the year. Over the last few years, most of the newly uninsured are from the middle class. As unemployment rises, along with gas and food prices, more and more people will be unable to afford health insurance, especially as it gets more expensive each year. The combination of a sagging economy, increasing numbers of uninsured, and a disproportionately affected middle class may make this a tipping point," said Aaron Carroll, M.D, director of the Center for Health Policy and Professionalism Research (CHPPR) and associate professor of pediatrics at the Indiana University School of Medicine.
Established as an independent objective source of health information, CHPPR translates research into practice in a timeframe that satisfies the needs of policymakers and other decision makers.
Is the health care issue part of the larger financial issue that is dominating this campaign? Or is it separate or separable? "I think the two will become more intertwined. We have already seen health care and taxes merged in the vice presidential debate, and as the campaign continues, I expect that one or both candidates will make the point that reforming the American health-care system is essential to improving the economic outlook for average Americans," said Dr. Carroll, a Regenstrief Institute research scientist and a pediatrician who sees patients at Riley Hospital for Children.
Earlier this year, the new center published the results of a national survey of physician opinion on national health insurance in the Annals of Internal Medicine. The largest survey ever of American physicians' opinions on health-care financing, it found that 59 percent of doctors support government legislation to establish national health insurance while only 32 percent oppose it. A similar survey conducted by the IU researchers in 2002 found 49 percent of physicians supporting national health insurance and 40 percent opposing it.
And what do the politicians think? "Senator McCain is looking to make big changes to the way people obtain health insurance in the United States. He plans to eliminate the tax subsidy for employer-based health insurance, and instead offer tax rebates to individuals ($2,500) and families ($5,000) so that they can purchase insurance on their own. He believes that putting the decisions and choices in individuals' hands will make them better consumers and bring costs down. The problem is that this may cause a significant number of people (some estimate 20 million) to lose their employer-paid health coverage, and there are no detailed plans on how individuals with pre-existing conditions will get care," said Dr. Carroll
"Senator Obama wants to keep the current system in place while trying to get additional people coverage. He wants to expand the safety nets, like Medicaid and State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP). He also wants to allow individuals to purchase plans through something like the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). He also wants to make it impossible for people to be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. The problem is that many of the plans in the FEHBP are expensive; moreover covering many more people through the existing system will be expensive," said Dr. Carroll.
