Less Costs More With Single-Payer Health Care
January 15, 2003
Single-payer health-care systems promise universal coverage, says Linda Gorman of the Independence Institute, but they do not guarantee access to treatment. For instance, in 1997, an estimated 20 percent to 30 percent of all patients on Canadian waiting lists were expected to die before getting care.
Because the government funds health care, access is limited by budget constraints. And since only 4 percent of adults are likely to need treatment in any year, politicians are likely to spend less on health care than individuals would themselves. Thus Americans spend about twice as much on health care as people in other countries.
The poor performance of single-payer systems can be seen in higher mortality rates for treatable diseases, compared to the United States. Take cancer, for instance:
- For breast cancer in the United States, the cancer-mortality ratio, or death rate divided by the incidence of disease, is 25 percent.
- In Canada and Australia, it is 28 percent; in Germany, 31 percent; in France, 35 percent; and in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, 46 percent.
- For prostate cancer, the U.S. mortality ratio is 19 percent; in Canada, 25 percent; in New Zealand, 30 percent; in Australia, 35 percent; in Germany, 44 percent; in France, 49 percent; and in the United Kingdom it is 57 percent.
Single-payer systems are also extraordinarily costly to run because they do not reward those who reduce costs by increasing their profits. With all costs included, the overhead of the Canadian system is about 45 percent of claims -- compared to 7.6 percent of claims for private insurers in the United States -- according to Patricia Danzon of the Wharton School of Business.

Fulham threw away a one-goal lead against Tottenham on Wednesday night, slipping to a 2-1 defeat in Meulensteen's first game in charge and the Cottagers can be backed at 7/4 (2.75) with bet365 to claim a much-needed victory this weekend.
Lambert's side, though, are unbeaten in their last five matches and are available at a tempting 6/4 (2.50) with bet365 to get the better of the Cottagers here while the same firm offer 23/10 (3.30) that the Sunday lunchtime clash ends in stalemate.
Villa have struggled for goals at times this season but Lambert's men have found their scoring touch in recent weeks, having netted seven goals in their last four matches, including three against Southampton at St Mary's in midweek.
The Cottagers have conceded in each of their last eight matches in all competitions and the home side's defensive frailties are sure to be of concern to Meulensteen ahead of this weekend's clash.
Therefore, the 11/8 (2.38) quote from bet365 for Villa to score at least twice on Sunday afternoon appears to represent outstanding value and should be snapped up accordingly by punters here.
Villa have kept three clean sheets in their last five matches and can be backed to keep things tight against a shot-shy Fulham side that has managed just three goals in their last six Premier League outings.
With that in mind, there may be value in backing the chunky 5/2 (3.50) quote on offer from bet365 for Villa to keep a clean sheet on Sunday while the juicy 7/2 (4.50) quote from the same firm for Lambert's men to win to nil is also tempting here.
However, punters are advised to back the visitors to hit the goal trail again this weekend and the 11/8 (2.63) quote for Villa to net at least twice is the recommended bet for Sunday's clash.
|Aston Villa to score over 1.5 goals at 11/8 (2.63) 2pts stake with bet365
Have a pre-match Correct Score, Half-Time/Full-Time or Scorecast bet on ANY Soccer match and if the game finishes 0-0 bet365 will refund all losing bets on these markets!

Your life is about to get much better. You're welcome.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium sweet onion, fine diced
- 6 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon maple extract
- 3 tablespoons molasses
- 1 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
- 1 cup high-quality, large bacon bits or 1 cup home-cooked bacon, crumbled
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add diced onion. Cook onion until translucent. Add minced garlic, stirring occasionally.
Add remaining ingredients and stir well. Cook down over medium heat for about 5 minutes. After it cools, the liquid portion will become a thick sauce.
This jam is a perfect addition to various recipes like atop a burger or in these brussel sprouts. It is especially fantastic on olive oil-coated, oven-toasted French bread as a bruschetta appetizer as shown.
Make this as hostess gifts for all of your holiday parties, and you will be invited back every year. Unless, of course, you over do the martinis. That, I cannot help you with. But there will always be bacon jam.


text: Logic Flaws in the Star Wars Trilogy (long) You don't notice these things as a kid, but as a critical thinking adult, they become obvious to you. Here is a long thorough list of plotholes and logic flaws in the original Star Wars trilogy that defy basic logic and common sense. Feel free to add any of your own. Star Wars A New Hope - When the Falcon was captured by the Death Star tractor beam, and the Imperials found it empty because Han and his party were hiding in the smuggling compartments, why didn't the Imperials use their life form detection devices, like on Star Trek? They should have such capabilities, since at the beginning of the movie, when C3PO and R2D2 were in the escape pod fleeing the captured Rebel cruiser, the Star Destroyer personnel said, "There goes another one. Wait, hold your fire. There's no life forms. It must have short circuited." Then later an Imperial officer told Vader aboard the captured Rebel cruiser, "An escape pod was jettisoned during the fighting. But no life forms were aboard." This indicated that the Imperials did have life form detection capability. So why wasn't it used on the Falcon in the Death Star? Furthermore, the pilot of the Tie Fighter that the Falcon was chasing to the Death Star should have reported that the Falcon was following it like a manned craft, not like a ship on automatic pilot, which should have told the Imperials that there were pilots on board. - Before the Falcon was captured by the Death Star, Governor Tarkin ordered his Imperial officers to execute Princess Leia immediately, after she lied to them about the location of the Rebel base. So how could Han, Luke, Ben and Chewie have so much time to sneak into the Death Star and rescue Princess Leia, if she was scheduled to be "executed immediately"? I guess "immediately" must be a long time in the Star Wars universe. lol - There was no reason why the Death Star personnel would let Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie and the droids escape on the Millenium Falcon. They could have easily deactivated the ship or hauled it away, rather than leaving it intact and operable in the hangar bay with only a few guards around it. That is too contrived and convenient. - When our heroes went down into the trash compactor room on the Death Star, after the shootout in the prison bay, the Imperials obviously knew they were down there, since they disappeared and blew open the trash chute. So when they set the walls of the trash compactor to close in on them, and R2D2 managed to stop it and open the exit door, there should have been guards outside the door to immediately capture them, since their location was already known. But there weren't. That was never explained. - When the Falcon escaped the Death Star, even though the tractor beam was deactivated, the Death Star could still have easily shot it out of space, or immediately sent fighters to destroy it. There's no way a gigantic space station could be that easy to escape from. It should have many things in its arsenal besides its tractor beam. - In a military space station, areas where you can deactivate things should not be so easy to get into. They are usually locked and heavily guarded. So Ben Kenobi should not have been able to get to that control panel to deactivate the tractor beam that easily, by simply walking through a hallway and out onto a balcony. - During the light saber duel between Ben Kenobi and Darth Vader, Kenobi gives up when a few stormtroopers arrive and point their weapons at him, and lets Vader slay him and vanishes. There was no reason for him to give up like that. In the prequels, Jedis can deflect lasers with their light sabers very easily, like a routine breeze in the wind. If Kenobi could deflect lasers so easily during his youth, there was no reason why he couldn't do it again in that scene and continue to fight Vader, or flee and rejoin Han's party in their escape. His sacrifice seemed senseless. Furthermore, he was in a personal duel with Vader and the stormtroopers were not supposed to interfere. - Furthermore, during that same duel

demonstrator that will stay aloft for up to five days, on 22 November
in Mississippi.
Orion was selected by the US Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) in
late August to meet the objectives of the Medium Altitude Global ISR
and Communications (Magic) Joint Capability Technology Demonstration
The programme's goal is to demonstrate a five-day flight of the Orion
at 20,000ft (6,100m) with a 453kg (1,000lb) intelligence, surveillance
and reconnaissance payload.
First flight is expected in mid-2011, the company says. Orion was
developed under the sponsorship of both the AFRL and the US Army Space
and Missile Defense Command and with Aurora private funding.
Aurora claimed victory over Lockheed Martin on Magic with Orion in
September. The Virginia-based company is doing most of the work on the
project from its Columbus, Mississippi, facility under the $4.7 million
contract win.
Before the contract announcement, the company had hoped to make a first
flight with the UAV in late October 2010. However, the schedule was
slowed to enable the parties to evaluate payload options, concepts of
operations and then grow and refine the requirements, Aurora says.
The AFRL's requirements for Magic's medium-altitude, extreme
persistence aircraft are for it to remain airborne for up to 155h while
carrying a 226kg payload at 15,000ft. The same aircraft also would be
expected to carry a 1,130kg payload for up to 80h at the same altitude,
it says.
Aurora says Orion is relatively low-risk for a demonstration project.
Rather than the liquid hydrogen fuel route other experimental
high-altitude, ultra-long endurance aircraft are following, its design
is powered by the same Austro diesel engines used on Aurora's Centaur
optionally piloted vehicle, based on the Diamond DA42.

Gwen and Blake sitting in a tree! K-I-S-S-I-N-G….
Fine, you need a better song to describe the red hot love between Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton? Look no further than her third solo album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like, which drops this week.
While The Voice star never specifically name drops the country singer in any of the songs, there are plenty of little nods and notes to the man who put Gwen's heart back together after her divorce from Gavin Rossdale.
We combed through the lyrics featured on Genius and found every reference that might be a lil' love letter to Blake. There are a lot of lyrics about someone helping her move on after a painful breakup and more than one wink to country living. Check out the sweet words below and try not to root for these two crazy kids to make it:
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images
"You're My Favorite"
"But I've been there, done that, buyed it, tried it, more than I can count/ shook it, stirred it, broke it, smoked it…but out of everything, you're my favorite/ I tried a lot of things, but you're my favorite"
"You're helping me forget, what is this/ gonna break out my cocoon, I'm gonna take a risk, skinny dip/ cause I see you're on the loose, gonna lasso you, gonna lasso you"
"Where Would I Be"
"Just so you know though I want a shot of your vitamin/ fill up my Solo Cup when I'm feeling so lonely I'm losing my control"
Larry Busacca/Getty Images for NARAS
"Make Me Like You"
"I was fine before I met you, I was broken but fine/ I was lost and uncertain, but my heart was still mine/ I was free before I met you, I was broken but free"
"Why'd you have to go and make me like you/ I'm so mad at you cause now you got me missing you…Oh God, thank God that I found you"
"Pull over on the side of the road, I'm texting you on my telephone/ got my windows down, guess I'm not going home"
"Getting Warmer"
"I got an idea, you can save me, and I can save you/ I got an idea, we can be nice and we can tell the truth/ yeah, we can be decent, and we can be honest/ I got an idea, you can save me, and I can save you
"You're a sapphire, you're a rolling stone/ you're a sparkle, in a deep black hole/ you're like moon shine, when the curtains close/ you're my answer, and that no one knows"
Norm Hall/Getty Images
"Asking 4 It"
"You given me truth and it's such an unfamiliar subject/ so, put your hands on me please…are you sure you wanna love me/ you're asking for it, you're asking for it"
"Send Me a Picture"
(This entire song is about sending sexy pictures to your boo, so we like think this is all about Blake. But here are some of the hottest lyrics)
"Are you all alone baby, whatcha wearing/ send a little something I could stare at/ won't you show me? Are you lonely? Wanna see you right now with no filter/ take another snapshot in the mirror/ won't you show me? Come on and show me"
"And they're all gonna say I'm rebounding, so rebound all over me/ cause I don't want nobody else/ and I know we said we're gonna live in the moment, and that's how good, that's what we agreed, I know it/ and every day I believe in you and me more and more/ that is crazy, that's for sure, whipped
"Rebounding?" "Solo Cup," which is basically the name of a Blake Shelton song? "Lasso?" We see you, Gwen. We see you.

Porta Potties block the main bridge in Krasnoyarsk
06/2/2013, 16:01
related tags
Five chemical toilets fell out of a passing truck on the Communal Bridge in Krasnoyarsk because of an unrepaired pothole. They blocked traffic on the bridge and damaged a car, Sib.fm's correspondent found out on 29 May.
Portable toilets that fell onto the road surface of the Communal Bridge in Krasnoyarsk were the cause of traffic jams in the city on 29 May. A local eyewitness reported to news agency KNews that the incident occurred at around 11am.
According to the source, several chemical toilets fell from the truck, which was travelling towards the right bank. This led to serious traffic jams in both directions.
Traffic police worked on the bridge to help clear the toilets from the carriageway. According to other motorists, one of the them hit a passing Ford Mondeo as it fell.
News agency Interfax clarified that the toilets were scattered because the truck's wheel hit a pothole on the bridge. The rut should have already been repaired.
«Traffic police were ordered to carry out repairs last week. However, the people responsible filled the pothole with gravel instead of asphalt,» noted a regional traffic police spokesperson.
The Communal Bridge is the central bridge across the Yenisei River in Krasnoyarsk. Its image adorns the Russian ten-rouble note.

text: Submitted by chris_hunt on Wed, 2012-08-29 15:20 Vote Up Down +74 + Smaller-pic-of-Aidan.jpg By Aidan McLaughlin Aidan McLaughlin Two summers ago, I was fortunate enough to attend two TU teen trout camps in Colorado and Montana. As a native Mainer, flying out west is an incredible experience on its own even without the week of fishing. At the camps, I not only learned all about fishing and the world of trout and Trout Unlimited, but I also met countless amazing people and learned valuable life lessons that can only be learned through experience. As a result of going to these camps, I was recommended for the first TU National Teen Summit in August of this year. The summit was described to me as a four-day meeting of some of the nation's most involved TU teens in which we would discuss how TU could reach out to teenagers more efficiently and fish on Spring Creek in Pennsylvania. I was apprehensive about the Summit, because naturally, I assumed that the summit would be comprised of very skilled and intense anglers. I am neither. I love fly fishing, but I only get to fish for trout a few times a year due to my hectic high school schedule; four days dedicated only to fishing and talking about fishing sounded like a dream come true. When I arrived at the summit near State College, Pa., I was pleasantly surprised. Not only were there were very talented fishermen and women there who were able to fish at least weekly, but there were also those like me who were less skilled but still passionate. It was this shared passion for trout that allowed each of us to mesh together to form a productive, creative group before the end of the first day. This unity helped us to think up various problems and each problem's respective solution. Each morning from nine to noon, we formulated ideas on TU's future. By the end of the summit, we had amassed a total of 12 hours of discussion time. We addressed everything from the structure of TU to how we should run next year's summit, and we even created the TU National Teen Council: the teenage equivalent of the TU National Advisory Council. Our work at the summit was beneficial to Trout Unlimited in providing a fresh new insight on young TU members, but it was more beneficial to the teens who attended. We were thrown into a new setting with a set of complete strangers, and each one of us stepped up to be productive leaders in some way or another. Log in or register to post comments

Stiftung Mercator in China
China's significance for Europe
In an increasingly globalized world, China is a region of key importance for Germany and Europe from a political, cultural and economic perspective. Stiftung Mercator, one of the largest private foundations in Germany, would like to engage long-term with German-Chinese relations, which is why the Foundation has made China one of its three focal regions within its Centre for International Affairs.
Cooperation requires understanding
The objective is to bring about mutual understanding of our different cultures, to dismantle prejudices and to promote cooperation on joint projects. The guiding philosophy of Stiftung Mercator in the area of international cooperation concentrates on understanding one another, learning from one another and jointly overcoming international challenges. Today, China already has enormous influence in the world, so a cultural and intellectual exchange is desirable in all matters relating to cooperation.
Projects to promote international understanding
"Zukunftsbrücke: Chinese-German Young Professional Campus": Organized by the Global Public Policy Institute (GPPi) and Peking University in cooperation with the All-China Youth Federation (ACYF), the project took place for the first time in 2012. 15 young professionals from China joined 15 of their counterparts from Germany in a discussion of trends, visions and models of sustainable urban development in Germany and China, political challenges for urban development and general issues relating to German-Chinese relations. Stiftung Mercator is making available a total of 345,000 euros for this project.
Low Carbon Future Cities: "Low Carbon Future Cities" is the title of a research project run by the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy; its ambitious goal is to draw up and put into practice comprehensive municipal climate protection strategies in the Chinese city of Wuxi and the German city of Düsseldorf. The research project is being conducted in cooperation with other German and Chinese scientists. The Foundation's aim is to interlink two central spheres of action: its commitment to reducing greenhouse gases and its support for German-Chinese exchange on key future issues. Over three years, Stiftung Mercator is making available a total of 1.65 million euros for this project.
Klima-Macher! International: How big is China's carbon footprint? How is energy generated and used? How are these things dealt with in Germany? What role does climate change play in Germany and China? These are the central questions that school students from China and Germany have been focusing on since the 2009/2010 school year, initially in the "Thinking Ahead" project and, from 2011/12, in the "Klima-Macher! International" project. In the 2011/12 school year, around 120 students from six German and six Chinese schools are exploring the question of "How would a city look in which I would like to live?" Over three years, Stiftung Mercator is making available a total of 222,000 euros for this project.
Mercator scholarships for school students: In cooperation with AFS Intercultural Programs, Stiftung Mercator has since 2000 been granting scholarships to school students, enabling them to spend time in China, among other countries. Other project partners are YfU, experiment e.V. and the Goethe-Institut. Partial scholarships make it possible for students to spend time abroad, thereby improving their future prospects. So far, more than 700 students have been abroad thanks to Mercator scholarships. Over three years, Stiftung Mercator is making available a total of 735,000 euros for exchanges with China.
Cultural manager exchange: In early September 2009, a three-phase training programme was launched for young Chinese executives working in the area of cultural management. The objective of the project is to establish lasting and sustainable international networks in cultural management and to reinforce the transfer of knowledge between China and Germany. The training programme for young Chinese executives in cultural management is a project of the Goethe-Institut, the Institute for Cultural and Media Management at the Free University of Berlin, and Stiftung Mercator. Over three years, Stiftung Mercator is making available a total of 160,000 euros for this project.

I've been struggling to find the right words for this post… It's been in my draft folder since last week and there are at least 10 different versions, all of them far more lengthier and detailed than this one. However, I am hoping the simplicity and brevity of this post will deliver…
Last month, in observance of Administrative Professionals day, my boss gifted us this Avon Empowerment Circle of Support necklace which came with a pamphlet. I was able to gather from the pamphlet and from the Avon website that the necklace was being sold to bring awareness and also to raise funds for the Avon Foundation's programs dedicated to ending violence against women.
We were all grateful for the gesture, but because of the subject matter, I found the choice of gift, odd. A few weeks later, something happened that forced me to look back at the necklace not as an odd gesture, but a foreboding one.
A few Sundays ago, I couldn't help but notice the R.I.P. on my Facebook timeline attributed to someone that had a first name that sounded like someone that used to work at my firm. She sat in the cubicle next to mine for perhaps, 2 years or so and although we weren't close, I knew that she was feisty, confident, full of life and going places. There is no escaping the proverbial glass ceiling when you are a support staff in a law firm. You accumulate years of experience and not progressive titles. This girl was different, however and became one of the lucky few who was moved up, into a different department.
I don't know what happened after her promotion, but one day it dawned on me that she was no longer with the firm. I just assumed that she had moved on to a better opportunity and looked forward to hearing her accomplishments from those who kept in touch with her. I didn't realize that the only news that I would be getting was that of her violent and untimely death.
The long and somber faces and the sight of the circles of whisperers confirmed the identify the minute I walked through our main entrance . As I walked to my desk, I caught the words from the whispers and those words to my horror were "shot in the neck," "boyfriend," "shot himself in the hand by the same bullet," "held her down,"…"murder"…"after argument."
She was only 28.

Thank you for joining us! I hope you find the images exciting and stirring...take a journey with me. We'll travel all way from the bush of Africa where man was born -- to the icy cold beauty of Antarctica. I am pleased to announce a recent showing of my painting Flamenco Dancer in the National Oil Painters of America on-line show and it was chosen for exhibition at the 88th Annual American Artist Professional League's National Exhibition in New York City. In more recent news, I am honored to have been juried in as a member of the Salmagundi Club of New York City, a 141 year old organization with a storied history. And in a few short months have shown paintings in their Thumb Box Christmas Show, Members Show, the storied Black and White Exhibition which has show annually since 1878, and the Radiant Still Life Show--all juried shows. It is a pleasure showing in New York City again.

This was our first time visiting Saint Maarten, though we were traveling with family who gave owned timeshares at Divi for years. We soon found out why they selected this beautiful place: It is large enough to provide everything you need, but small enough to provide a friendly, "homey" atmosphere. Our room had an amazing view of the sea, though when we were there construction was being done after a recent storm. We never ate at the restaurant on the premises, preferring to sample the cuisine around Phillipsburg. The staff at this hotel was very friendly and accommodating and the grounds were well-kept. We would love to visit this place again.

It's all right there, in the headline, and you love listicles, so go give it a read.
I'm partial to the hug from Marina Abramovic. Of course, I'm going to need to set-up an IndieGoGo to fund the airfare to go get it. That or a CrowdTilt.

I want to look into it over christmas/new year. I already have a modified binutils, where I rewrote the linker support based on the i386 version. I threw out the TLS stuff, but since it's structural identical, it will be easier to add it back and follow the i386 development in general. I hope that adding support for the basic thread model should be not that difficult this way and the other thread models can be added as time allows. The next big question will be then how we're going to make the transition to the TLS support. IMO it would be very benefical, if we could fix our ABI at the same time, e.g. the amount of alignment bugs I had to fix lately is not funny anymore. bye, Roman

Need a roller for the sliding door
A quick learner from PA 19608 says:
August 30, 2016
The roller in the bottom of the sliding door is missing. Series 950, ANSI/AAMA 101-88, SGD-C20/SGD-R20.
Paul from SWISCO responded:
August 30, 2016
I believe you have an old Capital door. I can't say for sure exactly what you have, but I can say that the two most common rollers Capital used for their Series 950 door before they closed was the 81-078 (flat wheel) and 81-086 (concave wheel). Carefully look these over and see if either could work for your door. I'm afraid without seeing the original, I cannot guarantee if either will work, but they're a start at the very least.

Angelo Vadala
View Angelo Vadala's Gallery
Angelo Vadala has started painting when he was only 12. At the age of 18 he went away from Sicily and he comes to live and study in Florence officially to attend University but actually for the love of Art. He love Florence to him no other town in the world has such density and quality of Art. In Florence he developed his talent studying the Renaissance art masters in the museums from the Michelangelo's force of human form in motion to the Caravaggio's reality and finesse of shadows and lights.
He has been essentially a self-learner, with a scrupulous attention to mastering the artistic technique. For a long period in the 70s he continuously studied hands as he used to say "Hands have millions of positions, if you are able to draw well hands you can draw everything".
The first period subjects were tied to the contemporary reality and are painted with a natural realism united to symbolism and spiritual depth. The artistic maturity of Angelo Vadala coincide with the discovery in the early 80s of neo-classical and orientalist figurative masterpieces as Alma Tadema e Sartorio. Angelo Vadala's mythological figures as centaurs, muses, winged creatures, odalisques are painted in active, romantic and sensual poses. Magnificent landscapes are full of dream and enchantment, animals as Arab horses and leopards are symbols of energy that transcends the mere images, the beauty of luxuriant female corps is spiritual aspiration to harmony.
Angelo Vadala has an incredible capacity to use different media. He masters acrylic and oil paintings, ink and pastel drawings, watercolour, wood, bronze and alabaster sculptures, frescos and murals. He is considered one of the most talented corporate and family portrait artists.
The artistic honours and exhibitions during the 40 years career as international artist give Angelo Vadala's art the credibility to hang in the most prestigious corporate and private collections throughout the world.
Angelo Vadala lives and works in Florence and Milan and travel often in the USA for exhibitions and works.

Show-Me Cannabis, our partners in Missouri, have done some great work helping reform cannabis laws in our nation's heartland. SMC organizes initiative signature drives, helps host educational conferences, lobbies city councils and the Missouri Legislature and promotes positive media for the cannabis law reform movement. An example of positive media is this letter to the editor in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch by a dedicated SMC intern:
St. Louis legislators are beginning to acknowledge that our current, prohibitionist marijuana policies have failed. The St. Louis Health and Human Services Committee unanimously passed a bill proposed by Alderman Shane Cohn that treats possession of less than 35 grams of marijuana as a non-arrestable offense, like a traffic ticket. That bill now awaits a vote by the full Board of Aldermen. If they pass it, St. Louis law enforcement agencies will have more resources to focus on violence and property crimes, while saving taxpayers money in the process. State Rep. Rory Ellinger, D-University City, has also proposed a bill that would do the same throughout the state.
Legislators should pass these measures because Missouri can no longer afford to wage a war on marijuana, especially when it comes to its youth. Saddling a Missourian in his teens or 20s with a lifelong criminal record for possession of a small amount of marijuana hinders his chances of ever becoming a fully productive member of society. Prospective employers often pass over applicants who have any sort of blemish on their criminal record. Missourians with limited employment opportunities earn less income, and therefore pay less in taxes. Lifelong lack of employment opportunities can force Missouri's citizens to rely on government social programs, so, because of our harsh marijuana laws, former offenders end up being funded by the state instead of funding it through lawful employment.
Last year, more than 18,000 Missourians were arrested for possession of marijuana, most of whom will receive criminal records. This will impede their ability to find employment, further their educations, and even rent an apartment. Taking a new approach to marijuana in Missouri makes sense. The people of Missouri should contact their legislators and explain the importance of changing these draconian laws.
Chris Mann • Woodson Terrace
A sincere thanks to Chris and all activists like him, across the country that take the time to help educate people about our nation's desperate need for cannabis law reform. So long as we continue speaking the truth, cannabis prohibition will certainly fall. City by city. State by state. Until we are all free.

Snowslide Gulch at the eastern end of Last Chance Basin
Last Chance Basin is separated by a spur ridge of Mt. Roberts from downtown Juneau, Alaska. Gold Creek (looking upstream) is in the foreground and the north end of Gold Ridge on Mt. Roberts is at the upper right. The vertical distance from Gold Creek at 340 feet above sea level (MLLW) at the camera, to the top of the gulch at 2,260 feet, is 1,920 ft. The Jualpa Camp of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co. is out of the picture on the right. Snowslide Gulch is formed by the Silverbow Fault which stretches west from Silver Bow Basin on the other side of Snowslide Gulch, to the northwest end of Douglas Island. The fault forms the gap for Gold Creek between Mt. Juneau and Mt. Maria which is at the NW end of the spur ridge of Mt. Roberts.

Teemo Build Guide by
Not Updated For Current Season
This guide has not yet been updated for the current season. Please keep this in mind while reading. You can see the most recently updated guides on the browse guides page.
Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Teemo Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
How to play
Make sure to not get caught in the beginning, you will want to go either bot or mid. Once you reach lvl 6 go around warding all entrances and exits from the enemies jungle as well as up and down river. Mid game you will have enough attack speed to kill everything that you come in contact with as long as you play it smart and take them into your shrooms before you start attacking. Late game if you are winning lanes start warding their entire jungle, if you are losing make sure to place your shrooms around your jungle much closer to the base than regular. Make sure to place your shrooms far enough away from each other so that if they hit the other one they will take all the damage and it won't be cancelled out by the first shroom.

Ever had one or attended one in the summer?
(Whether while out camping or at a get-together of some sort)
What stories and songs were shared? What was your experience? Is there something primal and powerful about gathering together by a campfire?
Re: Campfires
Not since I was a teen doing camping trips with my church group.
We sang "kumbaya" and the "sipping cider" song and others and told spooky stories and did smores.
It was fun, innocent. I miss hearing spooky stories and talking about snipe hunts and fun stuff like that.
Re: Campfires
No...I've never experienced the joys of a campfire...:(
Re: Campfires
We have a fire all the time. We have about 7 fire pits on our land right now. We love campfires. There is something primeval about them that I love ♥
Re: Campfires
Only once, on grade 5 school camp.
From memory we made damper and billy tea and sang Waltzing Matilda.
I live in a high bushfire risk area, so any outdoor fire in summer is a huge no-no.
Re: Campfires
I'm scared of fire, so I have to sit very far back to not freak out. Sadly I have had bad experiences but I am hoping one day to make a clean start.
Re: Campfires
7 fire pits Jackie! I would love that!
Re: Campfires
We have a fire pit in our backyard but we only use it during the cooler months. Where I live it feels like we get a week or so of spring and autumn, then maybe 3 months of winter, and the rest of the year is HOT HOT HOT. Seriously the other day it was 118 outside! Yes that was during the day but night is still very hot in the full swing of summer, anywhere from 85-100. So while I really love campfires, it is too hot to do it in the summer here.
Re: Campfires
I grew up with fires and figured all families enjoyed them :lol:
I love, love, love them. Unfortunately we live within the city too much to enjoy them here, which I absolutely cannot stand.
We had a lot as a kid, living out in the country and it was always such fun. Marshmallows and hot dogs!!
I miss it now :(

It's not surprising that this article was written by a liberal that supports the socialist agenda of Clinton. It's the same old, worn out "just because I'm black" routine. The racism you speak of had all but disappeared until obama got it stirred up again. On purpose!
If men could get pregnant there would be no abortions. Men have higher moral standards than women.
I do not know Ginny Deerin, but the fact that Will Moredock endorses her tells me she is anti-white, anti-male-, anti-profit, anti-American and the biggest "social justice" proponent in the race. Thank you, Mr. Moredock, for telling me who not to vote for.
Are you shitting me?? Obama is a full blown classic socialist/communist!!! Check this out and tell me that shit again. http://socialistparty-usa.net/

The Guild Leader Episode #13
Raid Leadership.
This week I want to take a look at something I haven't really talked about much and that is the art of leading a successful raid. This is the guild leader's responsibility to either be a competent raid leader or make sure you have a raid officer to lead the guilds raid.
So in most cases this will be a role for the raid officer, but some smaller guilds have the guild leader running the raids. In my guild I have a guild officer to run raids, so I have had some help from my raid officer to write this today.
Raid leader = Raid Coach
Think of the raid leader as a coach that helps maneuver players in the right locations, barks out orders and instructions on how to defeat each designed raid zone.
You need to be the expert on the raid zone but also at the same time you must be a motivator of the players that are playing the raid.
The Basics of running a successful raid!
Research: This is probably the most important part about leading a raid. The raid leader needs to do some research on how complete the given raid. You should know the map well, anything that will be needed to defeat bosses or enemies and what to tell other players to look for.
Make sure you do your research or you will regret it later as you get slaughtered.
Outfit: Make sure your raid group is properly outfitted for the raid. Stock up on potions and items that are needed for the raid. If anything is needed make sure that is communicated to guild chat/voice chat that help is needed provided these items.
Schedule: Make sure you select a time to start raid events so that people can be there and ready to go. We all have real lives, well most of us do anyway, but scheduling makes everything easier so we can plan out where we need to be.
Jobs: Make sure people know there job in the raid. Before enter the raid zone you need to figure out the jobs of each person in game. Make dedicated healers, who will do the pulling, and of course who will do the damage.
This step might require some planning in a roster form you could actually come up with these jobs while doing research for this raid.
Learn your enemy: This is also part of the research section, but I normally take separate notes about the bosses and opponents you will face in the raid. Learn what enemies have for weapons in the raid and how to counter their effectiveness. There are so many thing that can be looked at. Be sure you look how these enemies attack are there any holes in their defenses, find them before getting into the raid zone.
Glorious raid leader!
Being a raid leader isn't all glory and when things go wrong they go wrong fast. Being prepared is the best solution for the raid leader.
Being a raid leader or raid officer isn't for everyone it takes planning and good leadership ability, along with barking orders without thinking too much about it. If you meet these requirements you might be then next best raid officer.
As the guild leader you need to have the ability to provide leadership to your raid group, whether you lead or delegate to a raid officer this should be handled as we described above.
"The Guild Leader" is a weekly series by Beer and Joysticks .com and written by Chris Gillis covering all aspects of being a better guild leader. If you have any questions or comments we welcome them below this article.

I cancelled today's meeting with the failing @nytimes when the terms and conditions of the meeting were changed at the last moment. Not nice
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 22, 2016
The POTUS-elect has been tweeting, repeating
The pure propaganda which spews from the right. [Read more…]
I know, I've been quiet. I figured the last thing people needed was another privileged voice, so I have been doing much more reading and listening. Wednesday my students were in shock, and in tears. Cuttlespouse didn't eat for 2 days, didn't leave the house until yesterday. It's depressing… and we are *not* amongst the groups specifically in the GOP's crosshairs. So I'm not going to tell anyone "it will be ok", and I am not going to tell anyone to "give him a chance". [Read more…]
Most campaigns have a get-out-the-vote strategy. Trump's campaign has "three major voter suppression operations". These, you must realize, are in addition to the registry challenges, the cuts to early voting or number of polling places, and the limits on acceptable ID, all tactics which systematically hurt minority populations, students, and other groups who tend to lean democratic. [Read more…]
As someday it may happen—the election will be done
I've got a little list—I've got a little list
Of the people who were working so that Donald might have won
They mustn't now be missed—they mustn't now be missed!
There's the media who told us, every time that Donald lied
That it's crucially important to attack the other side
They told us "both sides do it so they're more or less the same"
And reinforced the narrative "they're equally to blame"
There's more to their transgressions, but that's pretty much the gist
And so they're on the list; and so they're on the list
We've got them on the list; we've got them on the list
And they mustn't be dismissed—They must not be dismissed! [Read more…]
The Pols down in DeeCee loved taxes a lot
But the Drumpf, who lived up in Manhattan, did not. [Read more…]
This race might be one that's best tackled unshackled—
Unchain me, you losers, and let me fly free!
I think I might surge without Ryan—I'm tryin';
The best course of action is "Let Me Be Me!"
We don't need to mention how racist my base is,
Or how xenophobic I am on the stump
It's anti-establishment voting I'm noting
And no one can play the outsider like Trump! [Read more…]
Trump is filled with Holy Spirit
You can tell, cos you can hear it
Every time the thin-skinned orange bigot sniffs
See, when folks start acting strangely
It's because they've gone all angel-y
Says Pat Robertson (no ands, no buts, no ifs) [Read more…]
When comparing the opinions
Of the candidates (and minions)
One can see that the two parties disagree.
In a way, though, both are trying
To expose the other's lying—
It's the difference that's instructive, we can see. [Read more…]
We're the basket of deplorables!
We wear the name with pride!
We're the ones that Clinton talked about;
We will not be denied! [Read more…]

Travel Chicago, whose motto is "City in a Garden," is at the forefront of a global urban greening movement. In Chicago's Urban Nature, Sally A. Kitt Chappell provides a beautiful guide to the city's stunning blend of nature and architecture.
At the heart of this urban movement is the idea of connection, bringing buildings and landscapes, culture and nature, commerce and leisure into an energetic harmony. With Chicago's Urban Nature in hand, you'll see those connections woven through the fabric of the city. Chappell provides new insights into such historic Chicago sites as Jens Jensen's Garfield Park Conservatory, Frederick Law Olmsted's Jackson Park, and Alfred Caldwell's Lily Pond, then takes us to innovative contemporary green spaces like the North Lawndale Green Youth Farm and Millennium Park. These landscapes have become far more than places of escape and retreat for Chicago's residents—they are fully integrated into the urban scene, an essential part of the cultural life of the modern city.
Written in an engrossing narrative style, Chicago's Urban Nature is both a guide to new ideas about what a city can be as well as a guide to new places to visit. Packed with maps and recommended tours as well as splendid photographs, it is the ideal guide to Chicago's urban landscape.
Sally A. Kitt Chappell is professor emerita of art history at DePaul University. A contributor to the New York Times and other periodicals, she is also the author of the award-winning Architecture and Planning of Graham, Anderson, Probst and White, 1912–1936 and Cahokia: Mirror of the Cosmos, both published by the University of Chicago Press.
"This book should take its place with the ample assortment of guides most Chicago architecture aficionados have on their shelves. As the city becomes greener in the years to come, Chappell's guide will become even more necessary to understanding Chicago's development in its entirety."—Edward Keegan, Chicago Tribune

New Orleans Interstate 10 Accident
December 29, 2011 by staff
New Orleans Interstate 10 Accident, Two pickup truck drivers died in a 40-vehicle pileup early Thursday on fogged-in Interstate 10, NBC station WDSU reported. All I-10 eastbound and westbound lanes of traffic were closed nearby, WDSU said.
Police say the 4 a.m. accident sent 22 people to the hospital. Officials said another 37 people refused treatment.
One firefighter also suffered a cuts on his face.
Investigators had not yet released the victims' names, and haven't said what caused the accident.
The wreck caused a miles-long backup on the freeway during the morning rush hour commute, as tow trucks labored to clear the disabled vehicles from the busy stretch of interstate.

Activation of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) can induce vasoconstriction via calcium signal-mediated and Rho-dependent pathways. Earlier reports have shown that diacylglycerol produced during calcium signal generation can be converted to an endocannabinoid, 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG). Our aim was to provide evidence that GPCR signaling-induced 2-AG production and activation of vascular type1 cannabinoid receptors (CB1R) is capable of reducing agonist-induced vasoconstriction and hypertension.Rat and mouse aortic rings were examined by myography. Vascular expression of CB1R was demonstrated with immunohistochemistry. Rat aortic vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) were cultured for calcium measurements and 2-AG-determination. Inhibition or genetic loss of CB1Rs enhanced vasoconstriction induced by angiotensin II (AngII) or phenylephrine (Phe), but not by prostaglandin(PG)F2α. AngII-induced vasoconstriction was augmented by inhibition of diacylglycerol lipase (tetrahydrolipstatin) and was attenuated by inhibition of monoacylglycerol lipase (JZL184) suggesting a functionally relevant role for endogenously produced 2-AG. In Gαq/11-deficient mice vasoconstriction was absent to AngII or Phe, which activate Gq/11-coupled receptors, but was maintained in response to PGF2α. In VSMCs, AngII-stimulated 2-AG-formation was inhibited by tetrahydrolipstatin and potentiated by JZL184. CB1R inhibition increased the sustained phase of AngII-induced calcium signal. Pharmacological or genetic loss of CB1R function augmented AngII-induced blood pressure rise in mice.These data demonstrate that vasoconstrictor effect of GPCR agonists is attenuated via Gq/11-mediated vascular endocannabinoid formation. Agonist-induced endocannabinoid-mediated CB1R activation is a significant physiological modulator of vascular tone. Thus, the selective modulation of GPCR signaling-induced endocannabinoid release has a therapeutic potential in case of increased vascular tone and hypertension. © 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

Loss-of-function mutations of the type 2 vasopressin receptor (V2R) in kidney can lead to nephrogenic diabetes insipidus (NDI). We studied a previously described, but uncharacterized, mutation of the V2R (N321K missense mutation) of a patient with NDI. The properties of the mutant receptor were evaluated. We constructed a highly sensitive Epac-based bioluminescence resonance energy transfer biosensor to perform real-time cAMP measurements after agonist stimulation of transiently transfected HEK293 cells with V2Rs. β-Arrestin binding of the activated receptors was examined with luciferase-tagged β-arrestin and mVenus-tagged V2Rs using the bioluminescence resonance energy transfer technique. Cell surface expression levels of hemagglutinin- tagged receptors were determined with flow cytometry using anti-hemagglutinin-Alexa 488 antibodies. Cellular localization examinations were implemented with fluorescent tagged receptors visualized with confocal laser scanning microscopy. The effect of various vasopressin analogs on the type 1 vasopressin receptor (V1R) was tested on mouse arteries by wire myography. The N321K mutant V2R showed normal cell surface expression, but the potency of arginine vasopressin for cAMP generation was low, whereas the clinically used desmopressin was not efficient. The β-arrestin binding and internalization properties of the mutant receptor were also different than those for the wild type. The function of the mutant receptor can be rescued with administration of the V2R agonist Val4-desmopressin, which had no detectable side effects on V1R in the effective cAMP generating concentrations. Based on these findings we propose a therapeutic strategy for patients with NDI carrying the N321K mutation, as our in vivo experiments suggest that Val4-desmopressin could rescue the function of the N321K-V2R without significant side effects on the V1R. © 2014 by the Endocrine Society.

G Protein Coupled Receptors (GPCR) can form dimers or higher ordered oligomers, the process of which can remarkably influence the physiological and pharmacological function of these receptors. Quantitative Bioluminescence Resonance Energy Transfer (qBRET) measurements are the gold standards to prove the direct physical interaction between the protomers of presumed GPCR dimers. For the correct interpretation of these experiments, the expression of the energy donor Renilla luciferase labeled receptor has to be maintained constant, which is hard to achieve in expression systems. To analyze the effects of non-constant donor expression on qBRET curves, we performed Monte Carlo simulations. Our results show that the decrease of donor expression can lead to saturation qBRET curves even if the interaction between donor and acceptor labeled receptors is non-specific leading to false interpretation of the dimerization state. We suggest here a new approach to the analysis of qBRET data, when the BRET ratio is plotted as a function of the acceptor labeled receptor expression at various donor receptor expression levels. With this method, we were able to distinguish between dimerization and non-specific interaction when the results of classical qBRET experiments were ambiguous. The simulation results were confirmed experimentally using rapamycin inducible heterodimerization system. We used this new method to investigate the dimerization of various GPCRs, and our data have confirmed the homodimerization of V2 vasopressin and CaSR calcium sensing receptors, whereas our data argue against the heterodimerization of these receptors with other studied GPCRs, including type I and II angiotensin, β2 adrenergic and CB1 cannabinoid receptors. © 2014 Szalai et al.

Deciphering many roles played by inositol lipids in signal transduction and membrane function demands experimental approaches that can detect their dynamic accumulation with subcellular accuracy and exquisite sensitivity. The former criterion is met by imaging of fluorescence biosensors in living cells, whereas the latter is facilitated by biochemical measurements from populations. Here, we introduce BRET-based biosensors able to detect rapid changes in inositol lipids in cell populations with both high sensitivity and subcellular resolution in a single, convenient assay. We demonstrate robust and sensitive measurements of PtdIns4P, PtdIns(4,5)P2 and PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 dynamics, as well as changes in cytoplasmic Ins(1,4,5)P3 levels. Measurements were made during either experimental activation of lipid degradation, or PI 3-kinase and phospholipase C mediated signal transduction. Our results reveal a previously unappreciated synthesis of PtdIns4P that accompanies moderate activation of phospholipase C signaling downstream of both EGF and muscarinic M3 receptor activation. This signaling-induced PtdIns4P synthesis relies on protein kinase C, and implicates a feedback mechanism in the control of inositol lipid metabolism during signal transduction. © 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Apparently Canada's version of Universal Healthcare mandates that every citizen receives a basic level of medical coverage… right after professional hockey players are taken care of.
In a scandal sweeping through all six of Canada's major media outlets (Yes! Including the Saskatchewan Tribune), sources claim that Calgary Flames players and their families received swine flu vaccinations earlier this week, while thousands of less important people were turned away from various clinics.
According to TSN, the health minister responsible for giving the NHL players special treatment has been fired, and that the necessary precautions have been taken to ensure that professional athletes have to stand in long lines and receive sub-par care like the rest of the citizenry.
Well done, Canada! Sprinkle in a strip club arrest and a couple illegitimate children and you've got the most American-sounding sports scandal to come out of the Great White North since the alleged Rickey Henderson-John Olerud sex tape.

Jack Gordon thought he'd finally made it. He had a wildly successful career, money in the bank and even returned to his life as Dom, putting an end to a string of unfulfilling sexual encounters. Now that he's made the ultimate commitment to Sara Thornton, he believes all is right in their world.
However, a series of misunderstandings and a dose of self-fulfilling prophesy bring his perfectly crafted house of cards tumbling down around him, forcing him to confront lingering misgivings about marriage and trust. Could those be the only two things he can never achieve? Sara struggles with her intense need for Jack and her desire for less volatility in her busy life, two goals which appear to be mutually exclusive. Although willing to put in the time and emotional effort to make their relationship work, she finds it futile and frustrating, littered with clashes thanks to near-identical personalities and temperaments.
Given Sara's history, easing back into the comfortable status quo becomes easier than fighting a war with the one person who should be her safe haven. But will the easier choice satisfy her the way only Jack can? Is her "war" one that comes from without or within? Buffeted by circumstance, temptation and distraction, Jack and Sara's tenuous relationship crumbles, sparking a continuous quest for the ever elusive: Trust, love and acceptance. By the time they rebuild a foundation for renewal, fate has other plans. This leaves them both reeling, once again questioning their destiny.

An emotional roller-coaster ride!
I thought she did an outstanding job bring to life a very emotional read, even the sexual scenes where outstanding with how much emotion she brought to the story.
I thought this was a good read/listen, the author gives you a very emotional roller-coaster ride.I felt for the most part the characters needed to grow up and find what they truly wanted.
I thought the narrator did an outstanding job bring life to all the emotions the author gives us. You can feel the pain and the sexual emotions of each character. I felt she does this better than most narrators I have listened to. I was blow away by her sexual emotions she brought to this story.
You have 3 people in this relationship, Jack who knows what he wants but doesn't know what life style he wants to live. He doesn't think Sarah is ready for what he wants out of her. He really isn't sure what he wants from her, he does ask her to marry him but is he really ready for marriage or is it a way to own her. I really think he is just afraid to comment and goes about issues the wrong way to get himself out of it.
Sarah is playing two men Jack and Craig, she runs to Craig when she gets mad at Jack. She is playing one against the other and really doesn't know what she wants. I really do not care to much for any of these characters but out of them all I dislike Sarah the most with her on and off again relationship with both men. She really needs to grow up and get a life.
Craig is willing to wait for Sarah he knows in the end he will have her. I guess out of any of the characters I feel the sorriest for him. He is to dumb to know he is being used and in the end he will lose.
Just when you think Sarah and Jack will work it out there are to many doubts, old fears, and misunderstandings. She goes back to Craig. Jack goes back to some crazy women he never wanted to start with. I never really understood why he went back to her. If he truly wanted Sarah he could have made her understand put he didn't put must effort into it. He just doesn't think she is ready for the lifestyle he wants. In my book all these characters need to get their act together and work out their issues. I would have loved to have slapped each of them and maybe even banged a few heads together.
The author does give you a major twist at the end and leaves you wondering what will happen. For me this was a hard book to review and most likely more to real life than any book I have read. I know some where in this world there are a ton of Sarah's and Jack's who are living their life making everyone around them unhappy as they play with others lives. Even thought I do not like the characters I did enjoy the book and can't wait to see what the author does with her last twist she gave us.
