TUF Nations Prelim Results: Sam Stout vs. K.J. NoonsApril 16, 2014
K.J. Noons def. Sam Stout, knockout (Round 1, 0:30)
Billed as a match between two of the lightweight (though they fought at welterweight) division's most technical strikers, it turned out to be power that decided this one. Namely, it was K.J. Noons' power that decided the day, his crushing overhand right dooming Sam Stout in just 30 seconds.
Stout has now rotated wins and losses over his past eight bouts, failing to find consistency, but the nature of this defeat comes as quite a surprise. Of all the slugfests, of all the wars that Stout has been a part of, he has never been stopped by strikes. He carries the moniker "Hands of Stone," but until this point in his career, he's had a chin of stone.
After the fact, Stout was clearly disoriented, grappling with the official.
Sam Stout, half conscious, went for a guillotine on the ref. The ref tapped and Stout got up like he won and fell head first into the cage!— RJ Clifford (@RJcliffordMMA) April 16, 2014
For Noons, the win is his second straight but only his second over his past five contests. In one sense, it was a badly needed win, one that may have been the difference between another UFC fight and a pink slip.
But considering how impressive the victory was and how vicious the finish looked, the "W" he takes home today might do more than just preserve his position. It'll be interesting to see where he goes from here.
KJ Noons missed a big chance to call out Nick Diaz. Even if he doesn't get the fight, he'll still get attention for it.— Steven Rondina (@srondina) April 16, 2014
Noons' win puts an end to the preliminary action at the TUF: Nations Finale. It also puts an end to the run of Canadian victories here in Quebec City.

Alvin discovered it was best - and most fun - to chase them away before nightfall, when they came back with their hypnotizing lights.
He quickly decided NOT to fish for alligators.
By golly, you're right, chenoabunny! It IS Lake Placid!
Tick-toc, tick-toc, tick-toc.
HEY!! I didn't know it was your boat!!!
On his Not-To-Do list, Ramon adds "Don't tease the alligators!" right above "Never draw on the Lone Ranger."

If only his Yamaha fishing cruiser had come with a rear-veiw mirror, Roberto might still be with us today.

Batting cages offer River Falls new indoor 'Field of Dreams'
Baseball, America's pastime, gets another boost in River Falls with the May 18 opening of Field of Dreams Indoor Sports & Batting Cages, LLC, 125 1/2 N. Main Street.
Billed on its website as "an indoor, year-round baseball/softball facility," Field of Dreams' purpose is to "...develop and enrich batting, pitching, fielding and catching skills in baseball and softball enthusiasts of all ages in the St. Croix River Valley and beyond."
Co-owners Josh and Gina Cleveland, owners of Cleveland Family Chiropractic and parents to three boys, Jackson, 12; Samuel, 10; and Zachery, 8, felt the community needed a facility like Field of Dreams.
"This is the community we raise our kids in and our kids play baseball in and the community needs this," said Cleveland.
Located in the old Victory Wrestling gym -- which will now be run by the new River Falls High School wrestling coach, Kevin Black out of Meyer Middle School -- Field of Dreams was something the Clevelands started talking about three years ago.
With busy schedules they put the idea on the back burner until last year when, according to Cleveland, "the timing was perfect."
Originally the Clevelands, who have been in River Falls for 15 years, looked at other sites around River Falls, but when the 125 1/2 North Main Street space became available, they jumped at it.
Cleveland said about owning two downtown businesses: "Some come, some go. The businesses that stay take care of River Falls and have a commitment to the community."
Cleveland said they had offers to put the batting cages in Hudson but they "believe in the community and what we can accomplish here."
Cleveland, who played baseball in high school, says he just has a "love for baseball."
Field statistics
The indoor baseball facility will feature four token fed machines -- three for baseball and one for softball -- as well as two portable machines that can be used for both baseball and softball and need to be hand fed.
Cleveland said that the machines are appropriate for ages five to "the sky's the limit," with ball speeds ranging from 30-99 mph.
There are two pitching mounds, ball t's and radar guns for use at Field of Dreams.
The 10,000 square foot indoor baseball space will include a 1,200 square foot lounge that will have Wi-fi, concessions and TVs. The area will also be used for birthday parties.
Besides batting cage rental and birthday parties, Field of Dreams will offer individual and group lessons in hitting, pitching, and fielding, as well as clinics, camps and more.
Field of Dreams' services vary and prices can be found on their website at www.rffieldofdreams.com.
The facility will feature a pro shop that has been stocked with help from Chippewa Valley Sporting Goods. Soft Hit balls will be used in the pitching machines.
Bats and helmets will be available for use, or participants can bring their own equipment.
With new paint, cages, turf, and new wiring by Sunset Electric out of Hudson, Field of Dreams is almost set for its May 18 grand opening.
Share the wisdom
Taking care of day-to-day operations will be facilities manager, Brian Giebel. As a member of the Fighting Fish Baseball team, Giebel will bring strong baseball knowledge to the position.
Before joining the Fish five years ago, he played high school ball at River Falls High School and college baseball at UW-Stout.
Said Giebel, "I've done the baseball thing in River Falls my whole life."
Cleveland said that when they looked for a facilities manager, Giebel was the perfect choice.
"The selling point for us was how he worked with kids," said Cleveland, who witnessed Giebel working with kids during a baseball camp.
"I love working with kids, I love baseball, love teaching, love hitting and working on the detailed things," said Giebel.
He said he will be busy scheduling appointments, taking care of the machines and keeping the space clean, while the Clevelands will oversee operations and concentrate on the arm care part of the business.
Besides Giebel, the board of directors consists of numerous doctors and baseball coaches including: Nate Schurman, River Falls Fighting Fish; Ryan Bishop, River Falls High School head coach; Ryan Christenson, Ellsworth High School assistant coach; Marcus Hallberg, River Falls High School co-head coach and former AAA Arizona Diamondbacks player; Joshua Cleveland, rehabilitation and arm care; Gina Cleveland, rehabilitation and arm care; Justin Anderson, sports psychology; and James Plummer, physical therapy. According to Cleveland, instructors will include: Christenson, who is a pitching and fielding instructor for the U.S. Baseball Academy Spring Training Camp and has reached certification in the velocity program. Additional instructors include Schurmann, former Eau Claire North baseball coach and Greenwood Elementary principal and Hallberg, who played minor league AAA baseball.
Said Hallberg: "Field of Dreams is a welcome addition to River Falls and certainly exciting for baseball fans. It will be a great place for players to work on their physical and mental skills. This facility will be great for baseball in River Falls."
Cleveland mentioned that instructors will be added as the facility gets going.
He said that Field of Dreams has received support from area coaches and the community as a whole.
Field of Dreams will be open Monday, Tuesday,Thursday and Friday, 3-9 p.m.; Saturday 10 a.m to 7 p.m.; and Sunday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It will be closed Wednesdays.

Former Linklaters managing partner Tony Angel is set to join DLA Piper as senior partner in one of the most sensational lateral hires in the legal market.
Angel, who is thought to have been offered a remuneration package worth £2m a year, will begin at DLA Piper on Monday 7 November following a two-week voting period.
Current senior partner Janet Legrand will move sideways, retaining her position on the board.
The move will consolidate joint CEO Sir Nigel Knowles' ongoing project to transform the firm he has led since 1996. It is understood that the firm is aiming to double in size in three years. In the last financial year DLA Piper's international LLP, which excludes its US operations, recorded a turnover of £604.9m.
Senior management partners rarely move firms after leaving from the one they have led; the last high-profile management move was Tony Williams, who had been managing partner of Clifford Chance before moving to run the now-defunct Andersen Legal in 2000 (10 January 2000).
Earlier this year Angel, who retired from Linklaters in 2007, returned to the law with a role as a non-executive director at SJ Berwin (11 March 2011). It is understood that he has resigned from that position.
Earlier this year DLA Piper rejigged its senior management, forming an executive team comprising Knowles, chief financial officer Paul Edwards and four managing directors – Andrew Darwin, David Bradley, Alastair Da Costa and Ulrich Jungst – who report to Knowles.
Last week the firm unveiled plans to move to an all-equity partnership model in the international side of its business (20 October 2011).
DLA Piper declined to comment.

Torstar Corporation Reports Second Quarter Results: (Yahoo Finance)
In a mixed second quarter report, Harlequin parent Torstar said book sales rose 8.7 percent to $249 million (CA), though the increase was due almost entirely to the weaker Canadian dollar. Currency exchange comprised most of the profit gains as well, up $2.4 million at $19.7 million for the period. "Underlying results were up in the overseas and North America direct-to-consumer divisions and down in North America retail." And the company expects weaker results in the second half of their year. They expect to grow "but not at the rate realized in the first half."

Party On, Employee-owners!
The employee-owner news today is that The Party Source, the largest beverage and alcohol store in the U.S., and apparently the only one with an on premises microbrewery and distillery, became 100% employee owned.
The place has many articles about it, from breaking ground for the distillery to today's announcement of the transfer of ownership to the employees. Many stories indeed, because it sounds like an interesting place.
The Party Source breaks ground on new micro-distillery
'The new distillery will allow us to celebrate in our state's heritage, while producing a world-class product and visitor experience that will only enhance the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region as a travel destination. We've done everything possible to ensure that our distillery will be top-notch, from the hiring of Glaserworks as the architects of the distillery to the securing of industry veteran Larry Ebersold as our master distiller,' said Mollie Lewis, Nth Degree Distilling Owner/President.
'The expanded store will house a micro-brewery and craft beer bar with 40 taps, as well as the 'library bar' of 400+ bourbons and ryes to educate the public,' says Lewis.
Ky. wants to help bourbon distillers with tax credits
When Ken Lewis saw a surge in bourbon sales at his Party Source liquor store here, he decided to make his own.
The stainless steel fermentation tanks now standing in front of his store will become part of The Nth Degree distillery sometime next year and produce alcohol that will sit in charred-oak barrels for five or more years before becoming a new brand of Kentucky bourbon — the only one produced in this part of the state.
New distillery on Party Source campus places copper still: with SLIDESHOW
Distillery owner Ken Lewis plans for New Riff to be a way to connect with Kentucky's bourbon tradition. The facility is expected to open to the public in the spring, but it's already been added as a stop on the Craft Bourbon Trail.
"The new distillery will allow us to celebrate in our state's heritage, while producing a world-class product and visitor experience that will only enhance the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky region as a travel destination," Lewis said in a statement. "We've done everything possible to ensure that our distillery will be top-notch, we like to call it Kentucky URBAN Whiskey. A new taste on the long standing tradition of bourbon."
New Riff's still will be able to produce about 12 53-gallon barrels of bourbon per day once it is prepared. But it will be years before the first batch of the distillery's bourbon will be available. In the meantime, New Riff will sell other spirits and offer tours of its brewing facilities.
Party Source becomes employee-owned company
Ken Lewis, founder of the Party Source, is creating an employee stock ownership plan. The day-to-day operations of the Bellevue-store will not change.
"It's been my dream all along to turn this company over to my employees who helped make the Party Source not just the largest beverage and alcohol store in the U.S., but one of the most successful and cutting edge operations as well," Lewis said in a news release. "Selling to my employees is the ultimate way to keep this company moving forward even as I turn my attention to New Riff Distilling and Ei8ht Ball Brewing, both located on The Party Source campus. Much more than just personal material success, enriching so many hard working, loyal families gives me great personal satisfaction."
Most of the news about employee-ownership recently has been coming from Europe or Canada, so it is very nice to see this story coming out of Kentucky of all places. I have a great deal of respect for Ken Lewis and commend him for his entrepreneurial spirit, his ambition and his equitable principles.
A hearty congratulations to all those at The Party Source!
Party On!!

Palmerton woman earns white coat at Misericordia
Marnie Cunningham, Palmerton, was a member of the first class of students in the master of science in Physician Assistant Studies program at Misericordia University, Dallas, Pa., to receive their white coats at a special ceremony held recently in Lemmond Theater in Walsh Hall.
Students were presented with their coats and recited the pledge of a physician assistant, promising to adhere to the core values of honesty, integrity, altruism and empathy of the profession.
The white coat ceremony signifies the completion of the didactic year of study. The students, members of the inaugural Class of 2014, now move into the clinical phase of their training.
The donning of a short coat represents one step in the journey of a student to become a physician assistant. The students will don a longer coat when they graduate and take the Physician Assistant Professional Oath, reminding them to always put the health, safety and privacy of their patients first and at all times be professional.
In the upcoming clinical year, this class of students will perform nine five-week clinical clerkships in a variety of professional settings and learn to evaluate and treat medical problems in ambulatory medicine, long-term care, internal medicine, pediatrics, psychiatry, surgery, women's health, and emergency medicine.
Students will also prepare to take the Physician Assistant National Certifying Examination (PANCE) and an objective standardized clinical examination (OSCE) in order to enter the profession.

Research Interests: Our laboratory is involved in a new community-based research project to determine the occurrence and frequency of the pathogenic microorganism Staphylococcus aureus in our campus community and in the wider Merrimack Valley community. This organism is found on the skin and in the nasal passages of about 30% of healthy carriers, and is known to be associated with localized skin infections as well as systemic infections that have a high rate of morbidity and mortality. Some strains of Staphylococcus aureus have become resistant to beta-lactam antibiotics such as methicillin, and over the last several years, this organism known as MRSA, has become an important public health threat both in hospital-acquired infections, and more recently in community-associated settings. Working with undergraduate students in the clinical microbiology laboratory, we have undertaken a study to determine the prevalence of methicillin sensitive and methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus in our community.
Educational interests: An important aspect of our educational programs in Health Science and Sports Medicine is to integrate into our curriculum opportunities for student engagement focused on real world problems in health, wellness and human performance. To that end, I have worked to support our academic programs through partnerships and affiliations with numerous healthcare and educational facilities in the Merrimack Valley. We have made civic engagement and social responsibility a cornerstone of our curriculum by examining the important issues facing community and global health and welfare, and by integrating community service opportunities for our students into our programs to help provide solutions to the complex problems that face us in the health and wellness field. The National Leadership Board of the National Center has elected me to a SENCER Leadership Fellow position for Science and Civic Engagement. Fellowships honor educators for their exemplary leadership and commitment to the improvement of science, technology engineering and mathematics education.

Weed Resistance in the northern plains is an accident waiting to happen
Glyphosate weed resistance is a growing problem within the region, as Dr. Jeff Stachler weed specialist at NDSU has documented. How can farmers manage weed resistance now in order to preserve glyphosate - one of our most powerful tools? And how can weed management preserve other tools, such as glyphosate-tolerant sugar beet seed?
On March 8 from 9:30 a.m. to noon, Peterson Farms Seed and Bayer CropScience will host the Northern Weed Resistance Forum at the Fargo Holiday Inn, 3803 13th Ave. S. Some of the most knowledgeable weed experts in the midwest will discuss the status of glyphosate weed resistance and management practices to control its continued spread.
Dr. Bryan Young, Weed Specialist from Southern Illinois University, will explain the current situation in his part of the midwest, where resistance problems are about three years ahead of the northern plains. Stachler will then explain what he has seen and what the future holds for this part of the world.
The meeting is free and open to the public. Registration will be conducted at the door. Lunch will follow the session.

CLEVELAND — This ship is sinking fast and the Indians don't have nearly enough patches to fill the holes.
With their last bastion of hope — ace Justin Masterson — letting them down Sunday afternoon at Progressive Field, the Indians limped to a 13-3 loss to Oakland that gave the A's an emphatic three-game sweep.
In what may have been their worst series performance of the season, the Indians were outscored 30-6, batted just .191 (18-for-94) and went 0-for-15 with runners in scoring position.
The pitching wasn't much better, and shoddy defense was present throughout, with the Indians committing two errors in the finale to bring their total to a major league-high 45 in 44 games.
"We got beat at every facet of the game, pitching, defense, timely hitting," said center fielder Michael Bourn after Cleveland lost its fourth straight game and for the fifth time in six games. "We got embarrassed on our home field and it don't get any easier. We've got Detroit coming to town. They're not going to take it easy on us. We've gotta find a way to fix it and fix it fast."
The Tigers, who will be in town tonight for the start of a three-game series, have won six straight. They also have a 101⁄2-game lead over the last-place Indians.
Cleveland is scheduled to face Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer in the last two games of the series — not exactly the perfect tonic for a club struggling offensively and begging for a key hit.
"Through all the frustrations we've had offensively, we've done a really good job of working the starting pitcher," manager Terry Francona said. "We're doing some things good to get to that point. When we have runners in scoring position and we have chances to keep the line moving is when we're not having the better at-bats."
Admitting he had been more stubborn than patient, Francona moved two struggling projected offensive stars — second hitter Nick Swisher and cleanup hitter Carlos Santana — down to sixth and seventh in the order. It did little to remedy the situation, with the pair going 0-for-9, and their replacements, Mike Aviles and Ryan Raburn, going 0-for-7. Raburn, in fact, struck out three times, including with the bases loaded in the sixth inning.
Swisher, who is making $15 million, is batting .196 in 43 games, while Santana is at .152 over 43 games.
A pivotal hit might not have mattered much for the Indians. Masterson took them out of the game early, allowing seven runs on seven hits and five walks over just 4⅓ innings.
Masterson was asked what his major issues were.
"Too many," he said. "I mean, you saw it. It's pretty much what you saw. I don't have a lot of good words. I'm pretty frustrated. "The next one will be good, don't worry. This is the anomaly. The next one will be good. Next time, we'll slice and dice again."
Actually, Masterson (2-3, 5.06 ERA) hasn't pitched much like a No. 1 starter this season. The right-hander has posted a 7.88 ERA over his last three starts (16 innings), allowing 17 hits and 12 walks, and has surrendered five or more earned runs in five of his 10 starts overall.
"I don't think it will be a trend," Francona said. "We believe in Masty a lot."
The Indians believed they were a division contender this year after qualifying for the postseason as the American League's top wild-card team in 2013. But Cleveland hasn't had the look of a playoff team for the majority of the season.
"It's a point where we're being tested, but we're a good team," Masterson said. "Once we start getting back to the fundamentals again, we'll be OK."
"What we're doing right now is not good enough," Francona said. "We've got to play better. That's on me to have better answers and to have our guys more prepared."

Python server/client remote execution question
I'm working on a project in Python that I'm having trouble with. I've asked so many people but they seem to not be able to help me :/ I'm coding a little program that executes system commands. The idea is that one machine opens the server and the other one opens the client and connects to the IP / Port. From there they can execute system commands and obtain the output. Only problem is, with the output, I get something like this:
Enter a command: ls got: ls received: 2 Enter a command:
import sys, socket #socket.setdefaulttimeout(150) host = '' port = 50103 BUFSIZE = 1024 s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.bind((host, port)) print("Server started on port: %s"%port) s.listen(1) print("Now listening...\n") #conn = client socket conn, addr = s.accept() while True: print 'New connection from %s:%d' % (addr[0], addr[1]) data = conn.recv(BUFSIZE) if not data: break elif data == 'exit': conn.send('\0') else: conn.send(data) def quit(connection): connection.close()
import sys import socket BUFSIZE = 1024 conn = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) conn.connect(('localhost', 50103)) while True: cmd = raw_input('Enter a command: ') conn.send(cmd) data = conn.recv(BUFSIZE) msglen = len(data) print "got: %s" % data print "received: %d" % msglen if data == '\0': print 'exiting...' sys.exit(0)

You only coded the communication part. There is no code on the server to execute the command. Look at the subprocess module to achieve the execution of commands.

Radio wave technology makes WiFi networks readily available and often freely accessible to users in many locations. As a result, connecting to a WiFi network can be an insecure undertaking. However, certain types of WiFi connections are more secure:
Connecting to a private, restricted-access WiFi network
Private networks, such as internal networks established by corporations or universities, restrict access to their networks to users who can provide the correct security challenge. Potential users must supply a key during the connection sequence or log in to the network through a secure VPN.
Encrypting your connection to the WiFi network
You can encrypt communications between your system and a WiFi network by using a secure key. Your access point to the WiFi network must be a router in your home or office with a secure key-generating feature. Your system and the router establish and then share the key before creating the secure connection.
The dladm command can use a Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) key for encrypting connections through the access point. The WEP protocol is defined in IEEE 802.11 specifications for wireless connections. For complete details on the WEP-related options of the dladm command, refer to the dladm(1M) man page.
The next procedure shows how to set up secure communications between a system and a router in the home. Many wireless and wired routers for the home have an encryption feature that can generate a secure key. This procedure assumes that you use such a router and have its documentation available. The procedure also assumes that your system is already plugged into the router.
Start the software for configuring the home router.
Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for instructions. Router manufacturers typically offer an internal web site or a graphical user interface for router configuration.
Generate the value for the WEP key.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for creating a secure key for the router. The router configuration GUI might ask you to supply a passphrase of your choice for the key. The software then uses the passphrase to generate a hexadecimal string, typically 5 bytes or 13 bytes in length. This string becomes the value to be used for the WEP key.
Apply and save the key configuration.
Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for instructions.
Assume the Primary Administrator role, or become superuser.
The Primary Administrator role includes the Primary Administrator profile. To create the role and assign the role to a user, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.
Create a secure object that contains the WEP key.
Open a terminal window on the system and type the following:
# dladm create-secobj -c wep keyname
where keyname represents the name you want to give to the key.
Supply the value for the WEP key to the secure object.
The create-secobj subcommand then runs a script that requests the value for the key.
provide value for keyname: 5 or 13 byte key confirm value for keyname: retype key
This value is the key that was generated by the router. The script accepts either a five byte or thirteen byte string, in ASCII or in hexadecimal for the key value.
View the contents of the key that you just created.
# dladm show-secobj OBJECT CLASS keyname wep
where keyname is the name for the secure object.
Make an encrypted connection to the WiFi network.
# dladm connect-wifi -e network -k keyname interface
Verify that the connection is secure.
# dladm show-wifi LINK STATUS ESSID SEC STRENGTH MODE SPEED ath0 connected net1 wep good g 11Mb
The wep value under the SEC heading indicates that WEP encryption is in place for the connection.
This example assumes that you have already done the following:
Connected your system to a home router that can create a WEP key
Followed the router manufacturer's documentation and created the WEP key
Saved the key so that you can use it to create the secure object on your system
# dladm create-secobj -c wep mykey provide value for mykey: ***** confirm value for mkey: *****
When you supply the WEP key generated that is by the router, asterisks mask the value that you type.
# dladm show-secobj OBJECT CLASS mykey wep # dladm connect-wifi -e citinet -k mykey ath0
This command establishes an encrypted connection to the WiFi network citinet, using the secure object mykey.
# dladm show-wifi LINK STATUS ESSID SEC STRENGTH MODE SPEED ath0 connected citinet wep good g 36Mb
This output verifies that you are connected to citinet through WEP encryption.

That's unpleasant fashion news. I always tuck my shirt in. My pants tend to ride down. The more active I am the greater the potential for gravity to send my jeans toward terra firma. Belt-tightening follows. Without tucked shirt, belt-tightening is abrasive.
Like Feynman I don't really care what other people think. This attitude doesn't make me vastly popular, but it does ensure that the friends I have are good ones. And a few of those dress well.

leah peters
I had several reactions to the verdict (none good). The first was that the ruling was sexist. 98% of women take birth control at some point in their lives. Do you really believe the Court would have ruled similarly if the case involved medical treatment that affected 98% of men? Hell no. 5 MALE justices decided women's healthcare wasn't important..
william ray PhD
98% of men buy condoms at some point in their lives. Does that mean that you, or I should buy them for them, when they choose to do so?.
Neither of the two comments are really the issue. It is far scarier than that. It is failure to separate church from state and allowing corporations to be considered as a person..
I agree, dorothygreen. Samuel Alito's defense that "corporations, 'separate and apart from' the human beings who own, run, and are employed by them, cannot do anything at all" ignores years of legislation aimed at ensuring compliance with hiring, promotion, wage and benefits allocation in a non-discriminatory fashion. The Alito camp also ignores its own definition of "corporation" by excluding the interests of those who "are employed by them" in their decision. The Supreme Court cannot possibly ascertain that all members of a commercial entity are of the same will and are voluntarily advancing the same goals, hence, it can only rule in favor of a small fraction of them when such objectives compete..
leah peters
I agree Dorothygrren! On my FaceBook page I listed 6 reasons why this decision was bad and yours is one of them. The Supreme Court has opened Pandora's Box as far as "religious liberty" goes and we can expect an avalanche of such claims. People can use "religious liberty" to flout any law they want, to discriminate at will and followed to the fullest extent our nation of laws falls apart..
Raymond Zakhari
I would expect a much more informed commentary from this bunch of Medical Professionals. The SCOTUS ruling only allowed for closely held companies to exclude coverage of goods and services that violate deeply held religious beliefs. In the Hobby Lobby case only 2 kinds of birth control (IUDs and Morning After Pills) i.e. 16 of 2 forms of birth control are still covered. Stop the hysteria everyone this has nothing to do with the rights of women as Plan B cost $40 bucks OTC and IUD anywhere between $200-500 depending on the provider. If you own a business you should be able to decide which benefits if any you will offer. Liberty wins, no one loses in this case..
pat m
Ahh many of the medical professional have Vision and can see what is coming down the line as a result of this ruling. Many will change to closely held companies and try to rewrite the laws to exempt themselves as they don't have to cover employees. Women probably won't be happy until Viagra, Cialis, and vasectomies are not covered and the playing field is leveled..
Thank you Mr. Zakhari! Enough with the hysteria. These companies DO cover birth control. Furthermore, they are PRIVATE businesses not PUBLIC corporations. "If you own a business you should be able to decide which benefits, if any, you will offer." If you own a car, should the government tell you who you must let drive it? Besides, if you don't like the benefits (benefits, not entitlements--your healthcare is your personal responsibility) don't work for that company. "Women's rights" activists are just as anxious to impose their beliefs on others as the people they accuse..
@Dr. Zakhari: "If you own a business you should be able to decide which benefits if any you will offer. Liberty wins, no one loses in this case.." Sorry, but if you own a business you acknowledge that your corporate identity is not necessarily your individual identity, which is why you can't decide to hire/fire, allocate/withhold benefits based on race, religion, gender, disability. Those laws have been in place for years in order to protect individual liberties (including yours), until Monday. FYI, on Tuesday, the SC let stand several lower court rulings that extended first amendment "protections" to businesses who refuse to cover all forms of birth control. Waiting for the deluge..
Does Hobby Lobby and SCOTUS think women are now going to barter for their IUDs? The ONLY way an employer can avoid paying for any form of birth control is to not pay his/her employees a salary. As long as women need to pay doctors for birth control (and men do NOT have to go to a doctor to buy condoms, Dr. ray) the employer who pays their salary is paying for it. This is so blindingly obvious it's hard not to take this as a slap in the face..

Stoke, Updated: April 29, 2016 2:10 PM
Shay Given is a doubt for Stoke ahead of Sunderland's visit so Jakob Haugaard could start in goal on Saturday.
Veteran shot-stopper Given suffered a groin strain in the defeat to Manchester City last time out and could miss out when the relegation-threatened Black Cats visit this weekend.
Defender Erik Pieters returns after missing the last two matches through suspension and could be handed a starting spot as Stoke have conceded four goals in each of their last three games, meaning manager Mark Hughes may alter his back line.
Bojan may be involved but fellow attacker Ibrahim Afellay faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a serious knee injury.

Texas Tech's sports publicity staff distributed a position paper after the team's regular-season finale Saturday. The handout contained 15 bullet points making the team's case to be the South Division representative at the Big 12 Conference championship game and later BCS bowl games.
The Red Raiders seemed to understand, though, that having taken a bullet the week before at Oklahoma was going to outweigh all those bullet points.
Tech won a piece of the South Division title for the first time and made it to 11-1 for the first time since 1973, but didn't budge when the final regular-season BCS standings were released Sunday. The Red Raiders stayed No. 7, and there are no scenarios that would land Tech in a BCS game at the end of the season.
Given that they were beaten 65-21 in their last road game at Oklahoma and had to rally to beat Baylor 35-28 on Saturday, Tech players seemed resigned that they didn't end their campaign for a BCS spot on a strong enough note.
"It's a great conference," Tech quarterback Graham Harrell said, "and when you have this many great teams in one conference, things like this happen. You come up with three-way ties.
"Oklahoma State, who I think is good enough to win a lot of conferences, has lost two games (before the Cowboys lost Saturday night to Oklahoma) and aren't even getting mentioned. They're kind of left behind, and they're a great team.
"We would like to have won last week and gone undefeated, but we didn't. We want to go to the best bowl and want to go to the best game, want the best turnout, but whatever happens happens.
"It's been an exciting year, been an exciting conference - I think the best conference in the country right now. It's crazy at the top, but that's the way things are."
Tech running back Baron Batch was more direct, saying the Raiders had their chance and blew it at Oklahoma.
"It was nothing that I could say, Poor us. We're getting messed over,''' Batch said. "All we had to do was go out and win, and we didn't."
This is the first time one of the Big 12 divisions has ended in a three-way tie. But Tech wouldn't be the first Big 12 team to have such a strong regular season and not make one of the big-money bowl games.
The 1998 Kansas State team went 11-0 in the regular season, lost to Texas A&M at the Big 12 championship game in St. Louis, and then fell to the Alamo Bowl, where it was beaten by Purdue. The 2007 Missouri team went 11-1, lost the Big 12 title game to Oklahoma in San Antonio, and then drilled Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl.
On Sunday, Oklahoma jumped Texas into the coveted No. 2 spot in the BCS standings with Texas slipping to third. Because three teams tied for the Big 12 South title, the conference had to go all the way to the fifth tiebreaker - highest BCS ranking - to decide which goes to Kansas City to play Missouri this week.
A BCS provision that guarantees a spot to at-large candidates ranked in the top four is what dooms Tech. With no game this week, Texas is likely to remain in the top four and join the Missouri-OU winner in the BCS when invitations go out next Sunday.
Among the few who seemed to think Tech deserves better was head coach Mike Leach, who sounded a theme he first mentioned last Monday.
"I think we're as good as any one-loss team in the country," Leach said. "We're in the best conference in the country, and I don't see where anybody else in the country could debate that they should be regarded (higher) than us, if they have one loss. The only other two that I could think of that would be Oklahoma and Texas."

Thanks to a new survey by a website called Tailored.com tried to figure out exactly what goes through a woman's head after her boyfriend finally proposes.
The fact is that there are many different things, but one stands out. . . both positively and negatively.
26% say their first thought was, "Wow, the ring is amazing!"
23% first thought, "I can't wait to tell everyone."
14% thought, "I'm in shock, this was a complete surprise."
13% thought, "It's about damn time he asked."
9% thought, "I wish I was wearing a different outfit or put on makeup."
9% thought, "I wish I'd gotten a manicure, I can't take a photo of the ring with my nails like this."
And finally, 6% thought, "I don't like the ring."
So, when you add it up, 32% first think about the ring either positively or negatively . . . 18% have negative thoughts about their appearance . . . 37% have romantic emotional thoughts . . . and 19% have some amount of anger.
What were some of the thoughts that went through your head when you were proposed to?

Tim Martin-trained sprinter Pampelonne justified a strong betting move when taking out the Group 2 2012 Shorts (1200m) at Randwick today.
The lightly-raced gelding jumped well from a wide barrier and was held just off the lead as Nobby Snip set the early pace.
Backed in from $8.00 to $5.30 prior to the race, Pampelonne showed real quality to hold off his more experienced rivals including Satin Shoes who put the pressure on late.
The win was the four-year-old's fifth from eight career starts and his first at stakes level and he will now head to Melbourne for what will be just a light spring campaign.
"He'll definitely improve. We'll go straight to Melbourne," Martin said.
Martin said the primary target would be the Group 2 Salinger Stakes (1200m) in November but also said he may run in the Group 2 Caulfield Sprint (1100m) on October 20.
It was the second winning ride of the day for Hugh Bowman who was full of praise for the emerging talent.
"He's a quality galloper, he's lightly raced and he's certainly got bigger things in store," Bowman said.
After plenty of drama in lead-up to today's race, Manawanui's spring ended in disappointing fashion as he was found to have bled during the race.
Satin Shoes picked up her second top three finish of the spring while Darley mare Appearance took third place honours.
Today's meeting may be over but the spring is just beginning. To get involved in all the exciting spring action sign up at bookmaker.com.au!

A Greek overhang remains on the global markets while back home, there seems to be no near-term respite for our currency. So, how will the rupee fare in trade today after plunging to an all-time low of 54.49 to the dollar? And will our market break the 5800 barrier? Read on for more...
A Greek overhang remains on the global markets while back home, there seems to be no near-term respite for our currency. So, how will the rupee fare in trade today after plunging to an all-time low of 54.49 to the dollar? And will our market break the 5800 barrier? Read on for more.
CLICK HERE to listen to the pre market cues with moneycontrol.com's Chelsea Saldanha.
European Markets
Extending their four-month lows, European markets retreated for a third straight session, closing broadly lower as concerns around Greece's political and financial crisis sapped risk appetite. Financials were the big drag.
Greece: Interim Government
The new general election in Greece is now scheduled for June 17. Meanwhile Pikramenos who is a top administrative court judge is heading the interim government. His role is to only oversee that the elections take place fairly. Meanwhile, latest opinion polls show that leftist leader Alexis Tsipras continues to gain popularity although 80% of Greece still favours staying within the eurozone.
The focus now has shifted to the banks. The ECB confirmed it has stopped providing liquidity to some of the country's banks to limit risk. The lenders will now have to turn to the more expensive Greek central bank for cash but it is unclear which banks have been affected. Greece's bank support fund says it will allocate 18 billion euro to the country's four biggest banks as an interim recapitalisation until a full capital plan can be put in place.
Europe Closing: DAX -0.3%, FTSE -0.6%; CAC +0.3%; Italy -0.2%; Spain -1.3%.
US Markets
In the US, markets ended lower in choppy trading following the Fed's meeting minutes and as ECB halt monetary operations to certain Greek banks, reigniting jitters over the debt-ridden nation.
On the economic data front, Housing Starts rose more than expected in April, gaining 2.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 717,000 units. And Industrial Production grew 1.1% in April - surging from a contraction of 0.6% in March, its fastest growth in over a year.
US Closing: Dow -0.3% at 12598.5; S&P -0.4% at 1324.8; Nasdaq -0.7%.
Fed Minutes
- Cite EU & US fiscal policy as reasons to keep rates on hold until 2014.
- Several members say further easing measures could be needed if the economy slows.
Data to Watch
- US Weekly Jobless Claims.
- US Philadelphia Fed Survey.
Asian Markets
Asia opens positive on stronger than expected economic growth in Japan. Japan's economy grew 1% in the January-March quarter, powering ahead of other major industrial nations. The rise in GDP translates into an annualised growth of 4.1%, stronger than the 3.5% expected by analysts.
The Nikkei is down 0.3%: Kospi, Hang Seng, Shanghai are up 0.2%; Straits is up 0.5%; Taiwan is up 0.8%.
Commodities & Currencies
In the currency space, the euro hovers near four-month lows on fears of Greece's exit from the euro. Nymex crude prices slip further as banking troubles in Greece further highlighted the euro zone debt crisis. The Nymex is at USD 93 per barrel levels while Brent hovered around USD 109 per barrel levels. Gold prices recovered slightly after slipping to USD 1,527/oz levels.
Outlook on Rupee
It's all about the rupee right now. After plunging to an all-time low of 54.49 per dollar, there may be further dollar buying in fear of more steps from the RBI now. From the Asian currency basket, the Korean Won, Malaysian Ringitt and Ruble all fell. Indonesia's central bank is believed to have intervened.
Although a weaker rupee should help exporters, analysts say overall sentiment is being trumped by concerns that foreign investors will exit India in light of the global risk aversion and the domestic challenges.
Indian Market
Equities plunged as markets globally felt the tremors of the political upheaval in Greece. The Sensex fell to 15974, its lowest level in four months while the Nifty closed at 4,858 down 84 points.
Stocks in News
IL&FS Engineering has bagged a Rs 234 crore contract from RVNL.

The Sunday Salon: Blog Life vs "Real" Life
4 comments:
I couldn't agree more with this. I've learned to accept that I simply can't do everything, and there are weeks where one aspect of my life (or my self) needs more attention than another part. This past week has been more focused on my physical health, leaving me less time to read or blog, and that's fine. In a different week, I might really need the outlet I get through blogging and will allow myself to have that and let mopping the kitchen floor go. Once I get beyond the must-dos (going to work, feeding the cat), I give myself flexibility for the other stuff.ReplyDelete
As for Sunday Salon, there used to be a website and feed to sign up on, but now there's just a Facebook page. It's evolved into something pretty free form, and what you've done fits that fine, I think.Replies
YES! Thanks for the feedback, Teresa, and for the guidance on The Sunday Salon situation. I must admit to still feeling a little "wrong" for sticking it on there, but the label seemed to suit the material.Delete
I think there used to be a Sunday Salon invite. I'm not sure, but they were closed to new participants when I looked into it, but that was maybe 1-2 years ago.ReplyDelete
I agree, we should stop apologizing for being absent from the blogs.Replies
Thanks for the info, Serena. Since I wrote this, I've continued to mull it over and it's gotten more nuanced in my head. I mean, I do think it is appropriate to let friends know (and y'all are sort of like friends!) if you're not going to return phone calls for a time. But there is definitely a grey area there. The bigger point I've taken away from this is just to not see the blog as somehow separate from life.Delete

ATLANTA - As many as one in five state senators and representatives will be new lawmakers when the Georgia General Assembly's 2011 legislative session begins in January.
While some will succeed incumbents who retired, much of the turnover can be linked to the dozens of ambitious legislators have set their sights on higher offices during a wide-open Georgia election season. In addition to a U.S. Senate seat and all 13 U.S. House seats, all of the state's constitutional offices are up for grabs - a proposition too hard for some at the Capitol to resist.
"Every office but the lieutenant governor has no incumbent running, which in itself is pretty unprecedented," said Steve Anthony, a political science professor at Georgia State University. "One of the old adages in politics is 'timing is everything.' There's a lot of opportunity this year, and people are hoping they can take advantage of it."
Anthony - who served as chief of staff to Tom Murphy, the longest-serving House speaker in any U.S. state legislature - said change at the Capitol is hardly unusual. Lawmakers routinely rotate out after a few terms, choosing to retire or losing a re-election bid.
"It is a tremendous sacrifice," said state Rep. Tyrone Brooks, D-Atlanta, who was first elected in 1980. "It is a full-time responsibility. When the session ends, you're still working for your constituents every day."
For others, the desire to leave can mean switching chambers or using their office as a stepping-stone to higher office.
"It is very tempting for a lot of folks to look to higher office, especially people who have been there for a while," said state Sen. Ronnie Chance, R-Tyrone. "These guys are public servants and they want to continue their careers serving and try something else."
Chance, who was elected in 2004 and is running unopposed for re-election, said incoming freshmen will face a steep learning curve in January, and both chambers will lose some institutional knowledge with the departure of veteran lawmakers.
Four state House and Senate members are running for the U.S. House and 15 are running for statewide offices in the July 20 primary - 8 percent of the Georgia General Assembly.
Nathan Deal's decision to leave Congress and run for governor drew three state House members to seek his congressional seat: Lee Hawkins, Bobby Reese and Tom Graves. Graves will finish the remainder of Deal's term after beating Hawkins June 8 in a special election runoff, but he must win the July 20 primary and the Nov. 2 general election to hold the seat for a new term.
In the statewide contests:
► Jeff Chapman from the Senate and Randal Mangham and Minority Leader DuBose Porter from the House are running for governor instead of seeking re-election.
► Seth Harp and Ralph Hudgens from the Senate and Tom Knox from the House are vying for insurance commissioner.
► Preston Smith from the Senate and Rob Teilhet from the House are seeking the attorney general post.
► Gail Buckner from the Senate and Georganna Sinkfield from the House are running for secretary of state.
► John Douglas from the Senate and Jeff May from the House are candidates for the Public Service Commission.
► State Sen. J.B. Powell is running for agriculture commissioner.
► State Rep. Mark Butler is running for labor commissioner.
Most lawmakers are returning next year, and most have a clear path back to their seats. The majority face no challenge in their party primary or are unopposed altogether.
With redistricting in the plans ahead of the 2012 elections, more legislative turnover is likely as lawmakers evaluate what the new maps will mean for their political fortunes.
