If Congress decides to act to repair that hole in the Affordable Care Act, an auto-enrollment requirement is the option that's getting the most attention from health policy experts. The Patients' Choice Act proposed setting up auto-enrollment procedures in private plans being sold on state exchanges at emergency rooms, state departments of motor vehicles, and through state tax returns and workplaces. Although the bill allowed individuals to opt out, research has shown that auto-enrollment, particularly in the case of individual retirement accounts, has successfully boosted participation from people who wouldn't take the initiative on their own.

had a deer come in the shop today that the hair is comeing out of the ears real bad is slipping and smells bad too i told the guy that it is not any good but would ask u guys i[expletive deleted]now of anything that can save it. i tan all my deer skins but scared to skin this one cause is slipping so bad in the ears. is a really nice looking cape on the deer a lot of black on its head and ears not many look like that here in alabama but i told him about it but thought i would ask all u guys here for some help first before i trashed it thanks a lot u guys r a lot of help most of the time
Return to Tanning Category Menu
They bring in rotten skins that they did not think about taking care of until they got to your door. Now, their lack of planning becomes your problem. If you spend alot of time skinning the head out and going through the whole tanning process to end up with nothing. You have nothing! Tell them you will charge them even if it doesn't turn out. Also give them the options of them paying for a different cape. Then explain the rapid process of putrefaction. Then maybe they will bring in their mounts before this process starts... And if they don't, CHARGE THEM! Good Luck
Pitch it and replace the cape. I guarantee that if your process fails, in your customer's eyes, and in his later stories---it was YOUR FAULT
If it's slipping in the ears real easy, by the time you get it mounted it just maybe hairless. If your lucky it could be the only area that slips but if your tanning them and you not sure of how capes are handled (like this bad one) just tell them no thanks and sell them a new one.
I've had a few capes come into my shop with some question on them but none were slipping just smelled bad and you can see some green on the inside of the cape. They taned up good but I did these guys by themselves to be sure I didn't contaminate the good hides.
Keep the hide and try it but sell the client a new one first. If you tell him that your going to try it and it slips all over your going to get the blame for it no matter what you say.
thanks for the help guys i did tell the guy that it was bad and he was ok with it but though i would ask and see if anyone has saved one like that cause i never have but might give it a try and see if it skins out with the hair still on it but i dont think it will thanks for the help anyway u guys r a lot of help

COLUMBIA, S.C. - Gov. Mark Sanford on Monday threw his support behind a lawsuit seeking to eliminate the Budget and Control Board, a panel he labeled the "undebated, undiscussed central nervous system" of South Carolina state politics.
The five-member board oversees the spending of billions of state dollars.
Mr. Sanford sits on the panel and, therefore, is a defendant in the lawsuit filed in August by Change South Carolina Now.
As a result, state insurance will pay his legal fees.
But the governor supports the lawsuit because it seeks to eliminate a panel he believes is overly political and inefficient, in large part because of the inclusion of members of the Legislature.
The board includes the governor, comptroller general, state treasurer and the chairmen of the Senate Finance and the House Ways and Means committees.
The participation of General Assembly members on the board "represents a usurpation of executive branch authority and not a 'cooperative' effort with the executive branch,'" Mr. Sanford wrote in response to the lawsuit.
Previous attempts to disband the board have failed. In the last case, in 1977, the court ruled the panel was not unconstitutional because the two legislative members on the board were in the minority and so had limited influence on decisions.
Mr. Sanford believes this lawsuit gives the Court more freedom and flexibility to decide what responsibilities are legislative and what functions are executive - and how, if at all, the makeup of the Budget and Control Board blurs that distinction.
Lawyers for the board are asking the Supreme Court to deny a hearing for the case.
The high court has yet to decide.
The legislative and executive members of the Budget and Control Board often split on controversial issues, with the state treasurer playing tie-breaker.
When the General Assembly this summer chose then-Rep. Converse Chellis to fill the rest of Thomas Ravenel's term, it was seen as a win for the legislative contingent of the board.
In a prepared statement, Mr. Chellis said, "Change SC Now and the Governor are attempting to interject political issues into the courtroom where they do not belong."
Mr. Ravenel resigned after being indicted on federal drug charges, to which he has pleaded guilty.

Following reports that Republican activists were planning a smear campaign, a Colorado lesbian lawmaker on Thursday said she will publicly address her sexual orientation.
State representative Jennifer Veiga (D-Denver) has identified herself as gay at fund-raisers and says many house colleagues are aware of her sexual orientation but that she never made a formal declaration about her sexuality. "I would never make an issue of my sexual orientation unless I knew the attacks were coming," Veiga said. "The truth is, it just shouldn't be an issue."
Two Republican Party activists, who asked not to be identified, told the Rocky Mountain News in Thursday's edition that a smear campaign aimed at voters in Veiga's district is taking shape. They believe it would be orchestrated by a few ultraconservative members of the GOP and resemble similar attacks that occurred two years ago, the newspaper reported.
The prospect of a personal attack has angered GOP lawmakers who work alongside Veiga.
"I think that's absolutely outrageous," said Rep. Nancy Spence (R-Centennial). "I can't imagine there's a Republican that has anything to do with that kind of action. That just, frankly, makes me mad as hell."
Veiga said she may be targeted because she heads up the Democrats' effort to win the house back for the first time since 1975-1976. "I think you have to ask yourself, Why is this an issue now, since I've been in office six years?" Veiga said. "The only answer I can come up with is, I'm moving up in leadership in the house, and I'm trying to elect Democrats across the state. And that's threatening."


text: The studio says it never officially [had a start date for] the sequel. But now that may push back to Spring 2012. The screenplay mostly takes place in Japan. But studio insiders tell us it's hard finding just where to shoot in Japan these days because of weather-related considerations. Now the location might switch to Canada. But we're also hearing that the start date will wait until after Jackman finishes making Les Miserables. There's no question that 20th Century Fox wants the pic badly and has been trying to get its sequel to the X-Men spinoff rolling for quite awhile now.

Dear Diary,
We are out on the road again and this time we are doing it live in Katy. We are Snappy's, a fabulous diner which boasts some of the best burgers out there. The big question hangs in the air: will I or won't I? Can I stick to my healthy eating? Maybe I will just have a bite of Cowboy Dave's….a bite from an area he hasn't attacked yet. If I am really lucky I will get the first bite.
We will be here until 9AM with all of the Rodeo tickets you can handle, including George Strait. I got phone calls at the Bull yesterday, all with one question: when are you giving away George Strait? All morning, baby, every 30 minutes until 9AM.
Jeff and I don't have big plans for the rest of the weekend. I really need to get a couple of workouts in. I skipped yesterday and had my gal, Tracy, get my extensions in fabulous fashion for my live appearance. The idea of doing my hair at 3AM holds no appeal. I will leave it to the pro's.
If I was Beyonce, I would have a gal that lived in the house. Oh, and I would be a better singer.
I finished getting everything hooked up for Mardi Gras. I am so excited to hit the Krewe of Who balcony party again. What a great group of people and I am glad we can celebrate our anniversary in one of our favorite cities.
Last night Jeff and I discussed what we wanted to do for our annual getaway in April. We figure we will get more bang for our buck if we go to one of our favorite destinations, Mexico. However, we are looking at going to a different area. The 'Excellence' resorts are quite excellent, I must say. And we are back to no burgers at Snappy's.
Talk to you to tomorrow,

In the fight against 'wicked' problems, computers may be humans' best allies.
Researchers from the Human Computation Institute and Cornell University say that the combination would create a superintelligence, and it could take on growing issues like climate change and geopolitical conflict.
New technologies use crowd-sourced input and interactive tools to produce collaborative results that go beyond traditional problem-solving, they claim.
Wicked problems are those which are difficult to solve because of the complexity of the underlying issues.
They involve many interacting systems which are always changing, and the solutions have unforeseen consequences, according to the Human Computation Institute.

Anaplasmosis is a vector-borne infectious, hemolytic, rickettsial disease of cattle, sheep, goats, and other wild ruminants. In Cattle the most common etiological agent is Anaplasma marginale, while cattle also are affected with Anaplasma caudatum, which may result in severe disease and Anaplasma centrale generally resulting in mild disease. An anemia results from extra-vascular hemolysis when parasitized red blood cells (RBC's) membranes are altered and recognized by the reticuloendothelial system. These RBC's are removed and finally destroyed. Accordingly, antibodies that develop against the altered cell membrane can cause destruction of uninfected erythrocytes. The severity of anaplasmosis depends on the species involved and age of animal. Young calves seem to have an innate resistance to the disease while the acute form generally occurs in cattle from 1 to 3 years. In cattle over 3 years, the peracute or most severe form, with rapid onset and death, predominates. Animals that survive anaplasmosis can become carriers for life and act as a reservoir of infection for susceptible animals. Economic losses from anaplasmosis include abortions, death, weight and gain losses, decreased milk production, bull infertility, and treatment expense.
EpidemiologyToday, anaplasmosis can be found nearly worldwide and occurs in many areas of the United States. It is most prevalent in the South and southwestern U.S. but also is present across the Midwest in scattered pockets having no set pattern. Anaplasmosis can be transmitted by several different methods, however it is not contagious. A transfer of blood must take place from an infected animal to an animal that is susceptible if infection is to occur. The disease commonly occurs during the warm months when arthropod vectors, both biological and mechanical are abundant. Ticks are the most important biological vector with the Dermocentor species implicated in most cases in the United States. A biological vector implies that the etiological agent is passed between different stages of the tick; for example, from the larval to nymph stage and then to the adult stage. Mechanical transmission can occur with other vectors such as blood sucking flies (horse and stable flies) and mosquitoes. Mechanical transmission in this manner must occur rather quickly, and as a result, is more important in operations with closely confined cattle. Accordingly, humans can be a mechanical vector by using anaplasma-contaminated equipment such as scalpels, needles, and tatoo equipment on susceptible animals.
Pathogenesis and Clinical SignsAnaplasmosis generally is categorized into four stages: incubation, developmental, convalescent, and carrier. The incubation period is the time from which the organism is introduced into the susceptible animal until 1 percent of RBC's become infected. The length of this stage seem to vary directly with the number of organisms the animal is exposed to and no clinical signs will be seen at this time. During the incubation period, the packed cell volume (PCV) will remain constant, as RBC's will be produced at the same rate they are destroyed.The developmental stage and clinical onset of anaplasmosis is determined by the incubation period, which can be from 15 to 45 days depending on the animal. Clinical signs begin to appear as RBC production drops and more erythrocytes are parasitized and destroyed. Studies indicate that some animals show signs at as little as 10 percent loss of RBC's, while others indicate a 65 percent loss before onset of clinical signs, with a mean somewhere between 35 percent and 50 percent.1,2,3 Erythrocyte count, PCV, and hemoglobin values will be severely reduced following the developmental period.As the anemia becomes more severe, the acutely infected animals lose condition rapidly. Icterus, weight loss, dehydration, constipation with hard dry feces shaded green, dark yellow urine, and progressive respiratory signs may become evident. Moreover, aggressive behavior, abortion of pregnant animals, and death due to hypoxia may occur. An animal that survives a bout with anaplasmosis requires a convalescent period of up to three months, with hematologic parameters (blood values) returning to normal. Often, these clinically recovered animals become carriers for life, and act as a reservoir for the disease.Necropsy of deceased animals will generally show a markedly anemic and jaundiced animal with thin and watery blood. The spleen usually is enlarged and soft with prominent follicles, while the liver appears mottled and yellow-orange in appearance.The gall bladder often is distended and the bile appears thick brown or green. Regional hepatic and mediastinal lymph nodes appear brown.Diagnosis Upon observation of clinical signs the diagnosis is confirmed by the presence of marginal bodies on a Giemsa, Wright's, of Diff-Q stain. A. marginale and A. caudale appear as dark staining bluepurple bodies 0.3(m to .1(m in length, along the margins of the erythrocyte. A. centrale inclusion bodies will be more centrally located and can be differentiated in this way. Persistently infected cattle can be identified by serological tests using complement fixation, card agglutination, enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELIZA), or DNA-based tests.Treatment Treatment of sick animals is difficult, as clinical signs may not appear until the disease has progressed to the acute stage. Sick animals in the acute stage can be hard to handle and stress must be kept at a minimum to prevent animals dying from hypoxia. A multifaceted approach to treatment may be necessary and depends on the stage of the disease and when treatment is considered.Tetracyclines are the drug of choice for treating and controlling anaplasmosis. When the percentage of infected erythrocytes is less than 15 percent(about halfway into the developmental stage), a single parenteral injection of oxytetracycline (OTC) can be effective in reducing the severity of the disease. If the OTC stops the increase in infected RBC's before it reaches a critical level, the animal has a good chance of survival. Blood transfusion, electrolyte solutions, and hematinic drugs may be of some benefit in treating the disease at this stage.The effectiveness of oxytetracycline is reduced when the animal has more than 15 percent of its RBC's parasitized. Recovery will depend on the animals natural ability to produce erythrocytes from bone marrow in sufficient numbers to compensate for the loss.6 As the developmental stage progress and the convalescent stage begins, frequently the best treatment is no treatment at all. One reason for this is the increased risk of sudden death due to anoxia, from the animal becoming stressed when treated. The second reason is OTC do little or nothing to change the outcome of the disease at this stage.6 Finally, erythropoietic-stimulating drugs do not have time to work, and a blood transfusion with enough blood to be beneficial could overload an anoxia weakened heart.
Prevention Prevention and control of anaplasmosis can be difficult and requires planning. Each farm or ranch is different, therefore the same program will not apply to all places. The following procedures should be considered. 1. Control insect vectors. Absolute control of all insect vector is impossible. Select economic control programs, such as periodic spraying that reduces insect populations or removing stagnant water that host insects involved in transmission. 2. Follow strict sanitation procedures during vaccination or surgery. It is difficult and time consuming to change needles after every vaccination, but is very important in herds with anaplasmosis. 3. Test the herd and remove carriers. This type of program necessitates bleeding each animal, identifying carriers, and removal of the carriers. An alternative to disposing of carrier animals may be to separate carrier animals and clean animals. Creating two separate herds provides that no susceptible animals are in the 100 percent carrier herd. 4. Vaccination in endemic areas may be beneficial. The use of an experimental killed organism product produced by Louisiana State University is available with the permission of your state veterinarian and the USDA.5. Chlortetracycline (CTC) can be fed during the vector season to effectively prevent transmission to susceptible animals. CTC can be consumed at the rate of 1.1 mg/ kg(.5mg/lb) body weight daily, and may be administered using medicated saltmineral mixes or medicated feed blocks.6. Do not sell animals before recovery, condemnation may result as icterus conditions do occur.

Wow, I hate to say it but this doesn't sound good at all.
Did the brick happen because of the region change error 003 or because of messing around with IOS? If this happened when changing IOS then you likely installed a stub to IOS60.
If you have a full brick (stub or deleted IOS60) which it sounds like you do....
Korean = not boot2 Bootmii compatible - (can't be flashed by a programmer)
No NAND backup = Completely SOL... Sorry.
Cogita ante salisIf you're happy with the help I provided, don't forget to hit my thanks button
He didn't mention the #003 "unauthorized device detected" thing and he shouldn't get that if he's @ 4.1U (but certainly on 4.2 or 4.3). That being said, yeah he's still screwed (ouch).
Right on Nightstah. I acknowledged IOS60 (4.0 - 4.1) but didn't make the connection (4.2+ 003 Kor) LOL. It's early yet

I messed up with IOS...
so, no fix then? How about Universal Unbrick Disc?
How about you stop with the self-denial and read our replies again.
Your only option now is to use the wii for a very painful game of dodge ball. Sorry.
