(1200?-1270?). German lyric poet Tannhauser became the hero of a popular legend. He was born about 1200. Not much is known about his life; he traveled widely and almost certainly took part in the Crusade of 1228-29. As a professional poet-musician, Tannhauser served a number of noble patrons, and from his references to them it can be concluded that his career spanned the period from about 1230 to about 1270. There are six existing Leiche (lyric poems that are sung) by Tannhauser, a few dance songs and love songs, and a group of Spruche (witty poems that make wise observations about life). Tannhauser died about 1270.

2000-13 Disbursement of Fines, Costs, and Reimbursements to Local Units Documentation of Distribution
October 30, 2000
To: County Treasurers, Administrators, Coordinators
and Controllers
From: Richard L. Baldermann, CPA, CGFM
RE: Disbursement of Fines, Costs, and Reimbursements to Local Units of Government
Public Act 345 of 1998, effective October 1, 1999, amending MCL 769.1f requires courts collecting reimbursements for emergency response to forward these reimbursements to the local unit(s) of government named in the order. In some courts this is done in conjunction with the monthly transmittal advice to the court's funding unit, for distribution by the city or county treasurer to the local unit of government. Other courts distribute this money directly to the local unit of government. Either method of distribution is acceptable as long as the court can document that the money has been paid to the unit of government named in the court order.
Public Acts 93, 94, 95, 96, 97 and 98 of 2000, effective May 15, 2000, amending MCL 600.8379, 257.605, 257.909, 257.955, 479.18, and 480.21 requires district courts to distribute 70% of ordinance fines for civil infraction commercial vehicle violations to the county treasurer for distribution to the political subdivision whose ordinance was violated. As long as the court can document that the money has been paid to the unit of government whose ordinance was violated, distribution does not have to be performed by the county treasurer. However, documentation should be provided to the county treasurer that the distribution has been made according to the statute. Also, we recommend the district court and county treasurer come to an agreement as to the manner in which the distributions should be made.

MetroPCS pressing shareholders over T-Mobile vote following revolt
Summary: It's coming down to the wire for MetroPCS shareholders to vote on the merger with T-Mobile.
After the Federal Communications Commission cleared T-Mobile USA's bid for MetroPCS, it seemed like the proposed bid was a done deal. But it's quickly becoming apparent that's not the case at all.
Reuters reported on Monday that MetroPCS is now having to urge its shareholders to vote for the merger. According the international news service, the memo stressed "there could be no assurance that it would be able to deliver better shareholder value as a stand-alone wireless company."
Things took a bad turn last week for the deal following remarks made by T-Mobile CEO John Legere, who said he expects the deal to go through.
However, his remarks also included swearing and inappropriate remarks, thus prompting MetroPCS shareholders Paulson & Co along with P. Schoenfeld Asset Management to assert publicly that they are voting against the merger.
Shareholders are scheduled to vote on April 12.
To recall, word broke last October that Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile USA's parent company, was in talks to acquire MetroPCS and merge it with the German telecommuncations company's U.S. arm.
T-Mobile USA is the fourth largest mobile provider in the United States, followed by MetroPCS.
But MetroPCS offers T-Mobile entry into many more smaller markets nationwide, giving it a firmer footing and new demographics to compete against Verizon Wireless, AT&T, and Sprint.
In March, the Department of Justice let the mandated 30-day waiting period expire -- a solid contrast to what happened previously with AT&T's bid for T-Mobile. Shortly thereafter, the FCC also confirmed its approval.

Submitted press release.MOLINE -- Playcrafters Barn Theatre next production is the Ken Ludwig comedy "Lend Me a Tenor." The show runs Jan. 14-15-16 and 21-22-23 with performances at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays evenings and matinees at 3 p.m. on Sundays."Lend Me a Tenor" first premiered in London in 1986 and then on Broadway in 1989; it has since been translated into 16 languages and has been produced on stage in 25 countries around the world. Andrew Lloyd Webber wrote a musical based on the play by Ken Ludwig in London, 1988, and the original version of the play enjoyed a Broadway revival in 2010.The plot centers on opera star Italian tenor Signor Tito Merelli—known to his fans as "Il Stupendo"—whose arrival is cause for great excitement at the 1934 gala fundraiser for the Cleveland Grand Opera Company. Merelli is slated to sing the title role in Othello, and the company views him as a savior. Saunders, the company's general manager, anticipates huge income, someone else hopes for back-stair influence, and a fan longs for a chance to express her admiration.Things begin to unravel when the star's hot-headed wife leaves him and the distraught tenor is accidentally given a double-dose of tranquilizers to calm down, rendering him comatose instead. Desperate, Saunders presses his hapless assistant Max into filling in for Il Stupendo. Dressed in costume and wearing the blackface makeup the role calls for, Max seems set to play a passable Othello—until Merelli wakes up. What follows is a door-slamming chain-reaction of mistaken identity, farcical plot twists, double entendres and innuendoes.Donna Weeks, Moline, directs the play and also designs lighting for the show. Cast members include Tom Naab and Cindy Ramos-Parmley, Moline; John VanDeWoestyne and Diane Greenwood, Geneseo; Angie Keeney, Blue Grass; Vincent Briley and Sara Laufer, Davenport; and Chris Tracy, DeWitt.Production staff includes co-producer Gale Smith, stage manager Karen Dubberke, music consultant Laura Crumbleholme, lead set builder Dean Spillum, light board operator Jordan Smith, production assistant Sydney Crumbleholme, set construction/painting helpers Craig Cohoon, Jesse Cohoon and Jeremy Koester, all of Moline; co-producer Lexi Holtzer, set dresser Alex Wolking, props/backstage crewperson Alysha McElroy-Hodges, Rock Island; sound designer Paul Workman, Silvis.Tickets for the show can be reserved by phoning Playcrafters at (309) 762-0330 or by visiting the website at www.playcrafters.com.

Another vote for "Fury of the Sunwell" here.
Every time I look at the artwork or watch the patch trailer, I get shivers of excitement. Ulduar is, by far, still one of my favorite raids of all time next to Karazhan. But Algalon doesn't inspire the same sort of fear and righteous fury in me-- maybe it's because he's just the messenger, doing his job, and not inherently evil. He was going to annihilate us all and reboot the planet. While I have a problem with that and am glad we took care of him, all I can think of looking at that artwork is, "What were the Titans thinking?!"
Kil'jaeden, however, is evil, if not evil incarnate. An evil vanquished by a bunch of "mere mortals," mind you. That's pretty epic to think about.

Barto packs up and watches as the Ferret and her Furry Friends put her stuff in a cab and head for the airport.
All the gang, sans Barto, are in the airport. Gifts are handed around to the Ferret and hugs are exchanged. Elispa tells the Ferret to call them with any Leo sightings. Jill hugs her and tells her he's sorry about Barto, and the Ferret says, "Hey. Just don't." The Ferret heads for the plane when suddenly Barto comes running through the airport. He yells, "Audrey, wait!" and as he comes to a halt in front of her says, "I'm not letting you get on the plane until I tell you that I love you." "You told me. Thanks," snipes Audrey. Barto apologizes some more and explains that the way they've been dealing with their recent problems is by not dealing with it, and that it has to be all or nothing, because when it's not, he messes up. He says he loves her, and he wants to spend the rest of his life with her, and that he wants to marry her, and that while he knows he can't expect an answer now, he wants her to know that every day he's going to be thinking about her and praying that she says yes. She gives him a little wordless Ferret glare and walks down the hallway to the plane. The Gang exchanges astonished looks. Somehow the attendant lets Barto by without a ticket and he follows Audrey for a few steps, as she walks away, crying. Fade out on Barto as he stands there, looking ineffectual. Back in the airport, the rest of the cast members are undoubtedly calling their agents as fast as they can, seeing if they can line up cameos on Roswell before that show gets cancelled too.

Since she is now committed to her health and fitness, Kharma has now launched a diet website (fit4alldiet.com). The site does not include a lot of details, but it appears to be an affiliate program, where you can log in to your account.
Shelton Benjamin revealed that he had successful surgery on his elbow this past Tuesday. The former WWE star is now back at home and recovering. The elbow has been bothering him for quite some time now, and he needed the surgery to avoid long term risk to his health.
Kharma has been focusing much more on her health than she has at any point during her professional wrestling career, as the former TNA knockout is now doing the yoga program created by Diamond Dallas Page. She has lost a considerable amount of weight since leaving WWE.
Since 40 is right around the corner, Matt Hardy has decided to take even further steps in maintaining his health and well being. The former WWE United States Heavyweight Champion has recently cut out diet soda and sweetener from his daily routine.
Ever since Jerry Lawler had that heart attack on Monday Night Raw, all eyes have been on the veteran commentator whenever he has a health issue. After the scare backstage during Old School Raw, it has now been revealed that the WWE star simply had the stomach flu.
Things have taken a turn for the worse for Mae Young, as the WWE Hall of Fame inductee has now been taken off of life support. She has been in hospice care for approximately a week after spending some time in the hospital.
As of right now, Mae Young, a legendary performer most associated with WWE, is under hospice care, where one of her kidneys is in the process of shutting down. She is also breathing with the assistance of an oxygen machine at the moment.
Due to her questionable actions in the past, there were some speculations on whether or not Tammy Sytch actually had cancer. The former WWE diva recently lashed out at fans on Twitter who questioned the validity of her health condition.
Some good news has been revealed about Mae Young and her condition. The legendary WWE star is now at home and is able to speak again. Her condition is still quite serious, however, and Mae is still under the care of hospice for the time being.
Mae Young, who is two months away from turning 91, was hospitalized yesterday, and it is being said that things are not looking good for the WWE Hall of Fame performer. Sources are saying that she is now under the care of hospice.
In a bit of news that will be troublesome to fans who are concerned with his health, Kurt Angle has postponed surgery on his knees. He was initially supposed to go under the knife in January, but pushed that back to work the European tour with TNA, and there's talks that he might postpost it even further than that.
"So Punk allegedly walked out & quit WWE. Interesting. It's impossible 2 understand the toll that job can have on you-unless you've lived it. A 'screw you' from Punk? NO. Punk's gotta prioritize his own sanity & health. Sometimes WWE isn't conducive to those two things. From my experience- When you're in constant physical pain, frustrated the majority of the time, & resent what u love, things have to change."
- Matt Hardy defending CM Punk for leaving WWE
Diamond Dallas Page is down in Mexico right now to help his girlfriend, Brenda, start her battle against breast cancer.
Hornswoggle joked through Twitter about how his action figures were the last ones on the shelf.
Alberto Del Rio won Royal Rumble 2011 by last eliminating Santino Marella.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A fire broke out early Monday morning in a mobile home near Centennial Mills.
Authorities said a mobile home on N. Stone Street and E. Springfield Avenue had flames shooting out of the roof when they arrived on scene.
Officials said the fire was reported by a newspaper carrier and was confirmed by Spokane Police officers who were patrolling the area.
Crews checked inside the home multiple times to make sure no one was inside.
A man living next door said he was woken up by firefighters pounding on his door.
The fire was put out within an hour and crews remained on scene for several more hours to extinguish hot spots.
The mobile home was used as an office for a lawn care business.
Firefighters said an engine officer twisted her knee while fighting the fire and was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
No word yet on what may have caused the fire.

The 2K11 24/7 CIX: Your Personal Brand, Your Business — Event in Review
Yesterday, I found myself in a room with less than a dozen people — more than 90% of whom I'd never met before — and we were all there to discuss the topic du jour: one's Personal Brand.
In what would have otherwise ben a regular Monday night (Dashing off to Dodgeball, Drinking with the Dodgeball Team and Dodging Dodgeballs), Kevin saw fit to intervene, letting me know about an event series that he'd been attending. Kev is generally in the know about the different social media and web development events going on around Toronto, so I'll often lend an ear when he's trying to tell me what's going on.
$10 and a quick jaunt later, I was at the Camaraderie Co-operative where the event would be held. And it was at that very moment where I learned an important lesson — no two tweetups/meetups/events are created equally. Not all of them come in large packages. Where I was used to conferences of 1500, Twitter-organized parties of hundreds and speaker engagements of dozens, this was a small, intimate group there to discuss and learn about a topic of interest. You had all the time in the world to get all of your questions in. It was small enough so that you got to know a bit about everyone in the room. And since there were only so many people around, the information was tailored to the audience, not simply rehashed from documents that had been passed around a number of times from hand to hand. In short — it was probably the last thing I expected.
We focused not only on how one should go about developing one's personal brand, but also about how one should portray that brand on the big three social networks (LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook). To show that even if you think you're a pro that you can always learn from just about anywhere, here's a few things I quickly learned from this event:
- While I make great use of my Facebook and Twitter accounts, I could do a far better job at optimizing my LinkedIn account (and I wish I'd been at the April 11th event, since that's what that session was all about!) — past creating a very detailed profile, I haven't really done too much with it
- When posting content to the Internet, one should make a message tailored to each individual audience, since you will very likely have a different audience on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn (which is a very good tip that I've never followed and will start to)
- New tools and things to read, such as TwitterFall and Mitch Joel's "Six Pixels of Separation", which Kev had suggested to me earlier
A good number of people had to skeedaddle right after the event though, so I didn't get to meet everyone, but I did get to know a fellow civil servant, someone looking to develop a company specializing in personal branding and the speaker for the event, Sue Varty (Marc Roginsky had been there but had to leave early), slightly better by the end of the night. It was informative and if you're pretty new to Twitter and looking to learn how to optimize it, maybe you should look at checking out the April 25th session!
So with that, I'm off to keep working on my personal brand. Want to help? Make sure to spread the love — tell people I'm here to try to improve lives.
One day at a time.
—Casey E. Palmer

Software service provider establishes its West Coast office in Seattle
SEATTLE and ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, June 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- First Line Software, a premier provider of software development and technology enablement services, expanded its presence in the US by adding Seattle to the list of its global locations.
For First Line Software, a fast growing global technology service provider, the Seattle office comes in addition to its other points of presence in the United States, New York and Boston. Home to giants Microsoft, Amazon and Expedia, Seattle is a key technology hub where virtually all software industry leaders have a strong presence that is growing by the day, so it was only natural for First Line to select Seattle as its West Coast base of operations.
"The launch of our Seattle office is in line with our strategy to offer customers onsite and hybrid project delivery in addition to pure play offshore development," said Seattle-based Roman Isakov, Director of Professional Services. "Under this model, roles like project manager, architect, senior developer or QA lead can be placed onsite close to the customer's in-house team. This addresses several important issues, such as establishing personal contact with the team and developing trust, time zone difference, faster turnaround times for immediate feedback on deliverables, etc. This model plays to our strength in teasing out business requirements or product ideas and quickly getting to a working system, prototype or MVP via iterative Agile delivery, which meshes very well with our current focus on wearable technology, mobile app development, and UX/UI design."
"One of our key initiatives this year is expanding our business model to address the needs of US-based digital agencies and software service providers,"added Isakov. "First Line serves as their technology partner, supporting them in implementing solutions for their customers by providing qualified software engineering talent and technology thought leadership. Rather than competing with the US-based technology firms, our model is based on supporting them in providing faster, higher quality implementations at better prices across a range of technologies, from leading e-commerce platforms to Salesforce.com. Strengthening our presence in the US further supports this strategy."
About First Line Software
First Line Software is a premier provider of custom software development and technology enablement services, with a focus on cloud computing, media, wearables, digital marketing, and enterprise content management. First Line provides recognized expert services to companies in North America, Europe and Asia, including Dell, Bonnier Group, and Tupperware.

Adele, who postponed her recent tour due to vocal problems, has moved her date from the Tabernacle to a venue twice the size, the Fox Theatre Oct. 16. Ticket prices doubled, too, but sold out almost instantly Friday so if you want them, you'll have to shell out quite a bit more on the secondary market.
In the meantime, her single "Rolling in the Deep" keeps rolling along in its seventh week at the top of Atlanta radio with 261 spins the past week.
Katy Perry, who has had No. 1 songs in Atlanta the past year with "California Gurls," "Teenage Dream" and "E.T.," is on the verge of taking over the top spot with yet another smash, "Last Friday Night." The song added 89 spins the past week to 237, with maximum spins at Q100 (92) and Wild (109) and near maximum at Star (36). (Her last song "E.T." fell out of the top 10 losing 71 spins)
Adele's song continues to be spun on five stations (B98.5, Star, Dave, Q100 and Wild) but V-103 dropped it after a few weeks and replaced it with another single "He Won't Go."

wow, I decided to Google Duffy after posting that and found she's dropped some weight and is pretty hot. Don't think it'll be enough to revive her career, but it certainly should help her bag a rich guy.

wow star94 is becoming its own station now I guess. It used to share most the same songs with q100 but now it seems to have a much different set of songs than q100. while q100 seems to be adding more hip hop and being similar to wild. weird how that works!

Large proportions of eukaryotic genomes consist of transposable elements (TEs), predominantly retrotransposons. These are generally considered to be intra-chromosomal parasites. However, their periodical bursts of activity have influenced the organisation of host genomes and contributed to beneficial traits. Remarkably, a number of what turned out to be transposon-generated phenotypic innovations were selected by humans during plant domestication and breeding. Therefore, TEs can be considered as an attractive endogenous source of genetic variation. Unfortunately, there is at present no experimental/technological means to exploit this potential in a controlled fashion.
Our current research focuses on the epigenetic regulation of transcription and on molecular mechanisms contributing to formation of transgenerationally stable epigenetic sates (epialleles). This includes environmental and developmental inputs that have direct consequences for the heritable alteration transcriptional states and contribution of retrotransposons to the genome-wide landscape of epigenetic regulation.
Recently, we revealed surprisingly selective epigenetic, environmental and developmental mechanisms controlling retrotransposition in Arabidopsis. Now we build on this knowledge and plan to establish a well-controlled retrotransposition system in a crop plant and liberate the innate genetic diversity buried in silenced TEs.

RomneyCare turned 5 earlier this month. So, given that the White House has portrayed Mitt Romney's gubernatorial legacy as an inspiration for ObamaCare, how's the Massachusetts plan doing?
Writing at Forbes, Sally Pipes explains several trends in Massachusetts. You'll notice that these are the same metrics on which liberals and conservatives, during the health-reform debate, differed on whether ObamaCare would make things better or worse. For now, the answer seems clear.
On expanding insurance coverage versus expanding actual access to health care:
When signing the bill into law, Romney claimed that it would "take about three years to get all of our citizens insured." In 2006 the number of uninsured in Massachusetts ranged from 372,000 to 618,000. Five years later, over 100,000 remain uninsured.
So more Bay Staters do have insurance. But that doesn't mean they've been able to get care.
The Massachusetts Medical Society found that 56% of physicians are not taking on new patients. Wait times for appointments are climbing. Just two years after reform took root, one clinic in Western Massachusetts had amassed a waiting list of 1,600 patients.
On whether reform would lead to more people being able to purchase health insurance, or simply more subsidies:
RomneyCare expanded coverage simply by putting more people on the dole. Since 2006, 440,000 people have been added to state-funded insurance rolls. Medicaid enrollment alone is up nearly 25%, and Massachusetts is struggling to cover the cost.
Of the previously uninsured individuals who have signed up, 68% are receiving free or subsidized coverage.
On whether the reforms would lead to fewer people going to expensive emergency rooms for routine treatments:
Despite the expansion of insurance coverage, people are continuing to seek routine medical care in expensive emergency rooms. Emergency room visits climbed 9 percent — or 3 million visits — between 2004 and 2008. The bill for uncompensated care has exceeded $400 million.
On whether the cost projections for the reforms were accurate:
Originally projected to cost $1.8 billion this year, the reform effort is now expected to exceed those estimates by $150 million. An analysis from the Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation found that state spending on health care reform grew from $1.04 billion in 2006 to about $1.75 billion in 2010. Over the next 10 years, RomneyCare will likely cost $2 billion more than predicted.
On whether the reforms would lead to slower growth of insurance premiums:
A 2010 study published in the Forum for Health Economics & Policy found that health insurance premiums in Massachusetts were increasing at a rate 3.7 percent slower than the national average prior to the implementation of RomneyCare. Post-overhaul, they're increasing 5.8 percent faster. Annual premium hikes in the state have averaged 7.5 percent since 2000.
The average employer-sponsored family health plan costs nearly $14,000. That's higher than anywhere else in the nation.
And, finally, on whether the public would learn the love the law once it was in place:
A poll by Suffolk University found that 49 percent of state residents do not think that RomneyCare has been beneficial. That represents a 20 percent drop since the law passed in 2006. A mere 38 percent felt the law was helping.

healthcare is not just any good or service. It's lifesaving treatment in some cases, and demand become irrational when it's needed. Therefore, normal free market rules do not apply.

Libs have the power to suspend the rules of economics at will. They believe if you make a product or service "free" it will not result in an increase in demand and will not increase the cost to society.
Further, they believe that if you increase the tax on something, the same amount or more will be produced and that people don't change their behavior based on taxation.
Well, at least some libs believe the above. Many other libs understand economics but just want to use laws and the tax code to penalize people "just to be fair". Our president falls into this last category.

There is one place in healthcare that free market principals do apply. Doctors don't have to take these patients. They can refuse medicare patients, and regularly do. They will simply opt to take only those patients who can pony up the money to pay them. Then those who eat themselves to death watching tv during the day and collecting their welfare checks will have to find something else to do for amusement than to run to the doctor with every hang nail.

There is a lesson not to be missed here – given the opportunity, republicans can be every bit as incompetent with their big government plans as democrats.
Want another example? Newt Gingerich wants big government to dictate how and when lessons about our "Creator" are incorporated into public school curriculum!! No thanks – it is my responsibility, not big government's responsibility, to direct my children regarding our Creator. Hands off!
Want another one? Many republicans want government, not private enterprise, to control when, where and how private property is developed. Here is there rule – if we don't like your religion, party affilation, etc., we will control the development of private property if it will help us win a few more votes.

Kyle, the sad thing about the predictable failure of Obamacare is where we go after the debacle. Barry is often quoted on many issues by saying "We ain't going back". If he is reelected, we can expect him to "tweak" Obamacare to fix what does not work. His "tweaking" will included universal single payer socialistic changes designed to make us all more dependent of the Democrats.
He wins either way, and I am not sure, he wants the current Obamacare to work, as he didn't quite get all he wanted the first time. If it fails, he and the MSM will blame the Republicans for not fully funding it and for killing the single payer option. The dumb masses will fall for anything as long as they think they are getting something for nothing.
April 26th, 2011
10:52 am
Kyle, It is easy to criticize something if you pick and choose your "evidence." But it is also intellectually dishonest.
Take the very first "flaw" you quote from Sally Pipes: "The Massachusetts Medical Society found that 56% of physicians are not taking on new patients. Wait times for appointments are climbing. …"
Is this the fault of the plan? Let's have a plan that will increase the reimbursement of the physicians by 100%. How many will not take new patients? Hardly anybody. Would that mean it was a good plan?
April 26th, 2011
10:52 am
Just say it, Kyle. "I've got mine, so get the hell out of my way you sick and old scumbags!"
April 26th, 2011
10:56 am
Kyle, here is another example of your and Sally Pipes cherry picking:
The poll by Market Decisions, a research and consulting group, found that 84 percent of residents are satisfied with the Massachusetts plan, which requires most adults to have health insurance.
April 26th, 2011
10:58 am
I don't remember the specific numbers but when Medicaid and Medicare were introduced they were also projected to take up something like 1% and 3% of the federal budget and now they take up something like 8% for medicaid and I'm not sure on Medicare. I just know its substantially higher than what it was initially projected to be. Any info on what those 2 programs initially cost as a % of the budget when introduced, what % they now take up, and how much they have grown over their initial cost projections?
April 26th, 2011
11:01 am
Let's see:
Out of Massachusetts' population of 6.6 million, 100,000 are uninsured, or 1.5%. Probably can't get much better than that. These people either pay the yearly penalty not to join a health plan or are exempt for religious reasons. Sounds like a success story to me.
56% of MA doctors are not taking on new patients. Maybe instead of copying and pasting, Kyle could have performed a modicrum of research and let us know WHY? For example, Georgia ranks 40th in the numbers of doctors per capita. In other words, big shortage. Maybe this affects how doctors take on new patients?
"Romneycare expanded coverage by simply putting more people on the dole". The only people receiving free medical care are those who live below 300% of the federal poverty level. Everyone else pays for health care.
"Of the previous uninsured individuals who have signed up, 68% are receiving free or subsidized health insurance." Subsided health care is the purpose of the plan. Kyle, any idea how many of the 68% are receiving free health care?
Also, health insurance premium increases are due to annual trends in medical care.
"Pretty grim picture", huh Kyle? What is it with conservatives and fear?
BTW, last year, Georgia taxpayers paid the medical bills of uninsured sick Georgians to the tune of $500 million.
April 26th, 2011
11:16 am
My first point is that change is a process. Throwing stones at health care now is like throwing stones at the Iraqi War in 2007. It was poorly implemented and its not going well, but the process isn't over.
People have to have time to change behaviors, and understand what to do. They're essentially in the 5th inning of a 9 inning baseball game.
April 26th, 2011

Kyle, it is interesting and informative to hear what a detractor thinks of RomneyCare. It would be just and interesting and informative to hear what supporters think.
April 26th, 2011
11:26 am
Despite the bias of Kyle and the conservative "think tank" experts he likes to cite, it is clear that most Mass. citizens are receiving healthcare through the program at a comparatively reasonable price. Compare any of the figures he cites with Georgia. And the polls I have seen indicate the program is immensely popular in Mass.
April 26th, 2011
11:28 am
What Drs won't like to hear is, in many cases they are not needed and this should be the way to head forward. PAs and nurse practitioners can handle much of the load for routine visits. Drs and surgeons can be utilized for other needs. Administators, both health and insurance need to realize they work in the health care industry, they don't provide the care. (overpayed)
April 26th, 2011
12:00 pm
So, yuzeyurbrane, "all the polls" that you believe show "immense" popularity with RomneyCare–
The Suffolk University poll found that 49% of Massachusetts residents did not think the program was beneficial. So 51% find it beneficial. Is that "immensely popular" in your book?
April 26th, 2011
12:10 pm
I support the health care law that passed last year. I'm already benefiting from it because it:
*allows my 19 year-old grandson to remain on his parents' family policy. This helps him because, like most college students, he would probably have gone uninsured. This also helps the rest of us because premiums are being put into the pool for young, healthy people that would otherwise be left out. This spreads the losses over more people and puts downward pressure on premiums.
*increased the limit on my policy from $2,000,000 per year to unlimited. All of us, and I mean ALL of us, were under-insured before this law took effect. People who say they liked their insurance never had a serious illness or accident that required long-term care. Millions of insured people have blown through their insurance limits and lost everything to pay for ongoing care. Under the new law, that's no longer possible.
*effectively closed the strange donut-hole in prescription drug coverage.
*requires insurance companies to use at least 80% of premiums for health care, also putting downward pressure on premiums.
*required insurance companies to cover children with pre-existing conditions at no additional charge.
*requires free checkups and other preventive services. This helps to catch disease on the front end and saves money on the back end. Once ounce of prevention, a pound of cure? This also puts downward pressure on premiums.
*even if 32 million more aren't covered, as estimated, millions more will be covered. There's no denying that. We already pay for the care of the poor when they go to the hospital. That's the most expensive way to cover them. It's much cheaper for taxpayers to subsidize their health insurance premiums, so they can get preventative care then it is treat them in the ER.
As far as longer wait times go, I'm not going to oppose health care reform because more people will have access to a doctor leading longer waits for me. The argument that we shouldn't find a way to give more people access to quality health care because those of us who already have access might have longer waits is about as cruel and self-centered as it gets. That's a problem we should seek to resolve directly by looking at how we can improve the supply of primary care providers, not be keeping people out.

I would suspect that the continuing rise in emergency room visits everywhere is a reflection of the population increasing and the continuation of the doctors with offices running 9 to 5 operations.
I do know of one private clinic that is open 24 hours a day. Few customers on the 7:00 am shift and just packed on the 7:00 pm shift.
Where do you go when your doctor's office is closed and there is a medical emergency?
April 26th, 2011
12:16 pm
That was the wrong link. Here's the article for HSA proponents: http://www.kff.org/pullingittogether/What-Conservatives-Won-In-Health-Reform.cfm
A different way of looking at the ACA is that it represents a bargain between liberals and conservatives, although not one that was ever explicitly made. The left got 32 million people covered and reforms that eliminate the worst abuses in the health insurance system. And the right got a further push, beyond the momentum already underway in the market, towards just the kind of "skin in the game" insurance they have always believed will help control health care costs. It's the big victory in health reform conservatives seem not to realize they have won.
April 26th, 2011

While only Ron Paul advocates a truly free market in health care (and always has), Romney actually tops the polls and is considered the front runner. Go figure?
And why no coverage of the repeal of the assinine 1099 requirement that was part of the horrible Obamacare package. Thankfully the house and senate passed it and Obozo signed it, but the media said nothing. Repeal of that provision will save both large and small businesses literally billions in compliance costs over the next few years.
Romney is a joke. Why the republicans seem to like him is a giant mystery.
Ron Paul 2012. He has been right about everything so far.

All other developed nations make health care accessible to all citizens, spend a smaller percentage of their national wealth on health care, and have a longer life expectancy and a lower infant mortality then the US.

Saying something is a "right" automatically implies that it is ok to violate someone else's rights to achieve this state. If someone has a RIGHT to healthcare than it is ok to steal from others to pay for it. It is ok to force a doctor to treat someone. It is ok to force someone to become a doctor if there is a shortage. It is ok to take food out of the mouths of some if that helps pay for healthcare for others. This is not hyperbole. If something is a RIGHT than the rights of others MUST implicitly be violated. Even the printing of endless amounts of money is stealing from those who save, etc. as inflation decreases the buying power for all.
Everyone has a right to care for themselves and to contract freely with others to provide that care. We currently do not even have those rights in this country. That is what we MUST work on first. It is the government's violations of health freedom that have created the current problem. The only rights are life, liberty, and property. Everything else comes from those – but government doesn't even protect those basic rights. How can they when they are STEALING to give the right of healthcare to everyone????

No, the rest of the world does NOT "do okay" with a single-payer system. Government-run healthcare is the exact same as government-run anything else – massively expensive and horribly inefficient. Canadians (the actual sick ones, not the 25-year-old granola-munching bike-riders who never go to the doctor and think free health care is actually free) come down here for treatment. The British system is a running joke in that country.
Go live in one of those single-payer countries for awhile, if you think it's so wonderful. Oh, you have cancer and need treatment? Well, get in line and we'll get around to you in a few years.

Kyle, "…when I google.." STOP RIGHT THERE. Sir, Google is not a substitute for sound reporting. That's where you lost me on this one, sport.
"The Healthcare Plan has been on the street for a relatively short period of time and you're already trying to bury because a few folks have stated that they will end it, adding yadda, yadda, yadda to their hollow claims.
I "Googled" the benefits of Obamacare (search was not like that, it was more the benefits of the Healthcare Plan by President Obama) and funny, I had stories that not only trumped your "findings," but actually detailed the savings to the average American family and business. SHOCK & HORRORS!!! Huh, Kyle?
@ Grasshopper, I'm curious to know what's your background? Are you from the planet Krypton where you can't get sick?

Grasshopper….Absoutely dead on!! Great posts and I needed a good laugh today.
Great article Kyle. As usual, you presented pretty concrete facts. However, liberals will still try to fight back against actual statistics. I swear, if Kyle or other conservatives said 2+2=4, some liberals would try to argue the point…Unbelievable

The government has NO business being in the health care business. The AJC Editorial board has already admitted to the "death panels". Rationing is inevitable under Obamacare. Good and timely health care service will become a black market service, or a "bribe your government administrator" issue.
The leftists couldn't care less that they'll have blood on their hands – they already do and they exult in it (abortion).

Truth: "I "Googled" the benefits of Obamacare". No, what you likely found in your search were the PREDICTED benefits. I doubt you found any actual benefits, seeing as how most of the plan doesn't go into effect until after Obama's first (and God willing only) term. However, the downsides are already hitting us, because insurance companies and doctors are having to take the new mandates and rules into account with their current planning.

Could someone estimate Kroenke's dollar investment in the Rams. Does he hold an official title and if he is active in any operations of the team. My understanding he is married to a niece of Sam Walton (?)

Re: E. Stanley Kroenke
Stan Kroenke holds the position of Vice Chairman of the Rams. Don't know what percentage of the Rams he owns.
Kroenke is married to Sam Walton's niece. He also owns a few other teams, the Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche and I think is an investor in the MLS' Colorado Rapids.
It would seem as if Mr. Kroenke has a few dollars to spare.

Grandmother spends retirement sharing the Gospel with Muslims8/22/2012
By Karis Baldwin and Torie Speicher
SOUTH ASIA — At the beginning of her marriage, Moriah Peters* and her husband were alcoholics. After the birth of their three girls, the couple found Christ and her husband later became a pastor. Years after losing her husband, Peters, a 50-year-old widow without a college degree, knew God had called her to missions.
Now, in her mid-60's and grandmother of six, Peters rides the back of a motorcycle in South Asia, sharing the Good News with Muslim men and women.
Peters started serving in South Asia after spending eight years in the drastically different climate of various Russian countries. While on her first overseas trip to the Ukraine, Peters shared the Gospel with an alcoholic man and it changed her life.
"I hesitated to come on the trip because of the alcoholism in my past," Peters said. "But, when he was saved, I knew I wanted to do this for the rest of my life."
At the age of 50, Peters moved to Russia and began working with alcoholics, often visiting the alleyways and streets where these men and women gathered. She would also visit the kiosks where Muslim men worked and share the love of Christ with them.
After eight years in Russian countries and becoming fluent in Russian, Peters was more passionate than ever about sharing her faith and discipling others, but her body was telling her the cold was just too much. Peter's doctors told her she would be healthier in a warmer, drier climate.
South Asia was not her first choice. She thought it would be too hot and the food would be too spicy, but when she found out about an opportunity to share the Good News with Muslims, she was sold.
Once Peters arrived in South Asia, God led her to a group of Muslim men and women living in a rough community. Through the help of a Christian man named Sanjeet* from a Hindu background, Peters started offering English lessons. She began by having them read Bible stories, one sentence at a time.
After two years of teaching English through telling stories from God's Word, tensions in the Muslim community began to rise. Sanjeet was chased by a group of Muslims and beaten with metal rods and pipes. After Sanjeet recovered, Peters knew in her heart that she had to return but found it necessary to change her approach.
Using English rap songs from artists like Kirk Franklin, Isaac Houghton, and Deitrick Haddon who talk about Jesus in their songs, Peters began teaching the lyrics for English class, explaining the meaning of the song and having fun with her students in the name of Christ.
Peters didn't let her age, family or lack of college education hold her back from doing what God called her to do.
"When I meet people, I tell them I have a 'BA degree' (even though I didn't go to college). It's a 'Born Again' degree," Peters said. "People here don't really care about your college credentials. They want to know why you're here and why you stay."
Peters knows that one day she will have to look Jesus face-to-face and answer to Him. That's why she rides on the back of a motorcycle with Sanjeet practicing rap songs to share with Muslims.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will I be able to edit the site myself? Is it easy to use?
If you can use a word processor like Microsoft Word then your training is nearly over. See how easy this is here.
Can I speak with someone before I purchase?
Of course. Everything you need is on our Contact page.
What am I actually buying?
A good-looking website ready for you to enter new content and the ongoing support to ensure your success. Your site will run WordPress — very popular open source software that has a huge development community behind it.
How much do you charge?
Our website service packages begin at $69/month. Each plan includes support to cover training, site building, and minor customizations like changing pictures. If heavy customization or programming is required, we will discuss that in advance and it will be charged separately. Your service subscription lasts for one year. After a year, you will be offered an option to switch to a "hosting only" plan, which costs less and offers less support. More about Pricing.
What about all those "free" websites?
Remember the spiel about no free lunch? Freebie website builders have a very limited set of functions to tease you with before asking you for a "premium" upgrade, or they are going to show ads on your site. For the true do-it-yourself zealot we have collected some free website builders.
Will you put ads on my site?
Not a chance.
Can I move my site later?
Yes, but you won't have to. This is a common worry among those who have been burned before. When we build your website using popular mainstream tools like WordPress, you can edit it and enhance it yourself. Plus we are here to help you if you forget how.
Will you be there to support me after I make a purchase?
Now you're talking like an informed buyer! We provide generous email-based support for your site. We also list our phone number for occasional direct help when the subject is too complex to relay by email.
Do template-based sites look cheap?
SiteMast.com and thousands of other professional-looking sites are styled using a template or "theme." Very few websites are actually built from scratch. Those that are rarely have built-in content management software which is the foundation that gives you power to edit your own site. If you change the pictures and add your own unique content, you will have a nice-looking website.
What is the technology behind my new web site?
We will make a website for you built on the popular open source platform called WordPress. Used by millions of users worldwide, there is a huge developer community behind it who are constantly enhancing it.
Wait a minute… aren't open source products free?
Yes, open source tools are released under a license that allows for free distribution — if you know how to use them. We don't charge you for the products themselves. What you pay us for is expertise to help you choose a style, assemble your site, setup e-mail accounts, eliminate technical headaches, and provide ongoing support. We are also available to help you make connections to other professionals you might need like copywriters and SEO experts.
Why not use the free website from my hosting company?
If you want a few pages of fairly simple stuff, and you don't mind being locked into their proprietary technology, that's not a bad move. Many people find that the "easy to use" teaser is just that — a tease. Plus it rubs the shine off your professional image to have a hosting company logo stuck on your site.
Can I cancel my service and keep my website?
You can cancel any time. We charge a small transfer fee to package your site for installation elsewhere. If your account is less than 12 months old, the fee is $250. After a year, the fee is $100.
Why do I need a Linux hosting account?
We have an aversion to crashing. WordPress will run on Windows servers, but it is much more stable on Linux. We like things to be stable. It helps us sleep better. We think you will too.
What if I have a Windows hosting account?
You can do one of two things but both require that you buy a Linux hosting account. Option A is to use a different domain name (address) for the new Linux-based site and ignore the old domain name (leave it where it is).
Option B is to forward your existing domain name to the new Linux account. We can help you with this, of course, and if you want to understand the details before you buy, just drop us a note on our Contact page.

West Jordan police have arrested two men and a woman believed to have held up at least two area credit unions.
West Jordan police Sgt. Richard Bell said the arrests were made hours following the second robbery, which occurred about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the University of Utah Credit Union, 7121 S. Redwood Road.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
Two of the suspects — described as a white male of average height and weight and a heavy-set Latino male — brandished a handgun and demanded cash. The men, both wearing hooded sweatshirts and dark bandanas over their faces, fled the credit union with an unspecified amount of money.
West Jordan police soon spotted the suspects, detaining one on foot before the second man and a woman sped away in a gold Jeep. Moments later, a 911 call about suspicious activity led officers to a residence near 1400 West and 7200 South, where the second male and the woman were arrested.
Bell said officers also believe the trio were connected to a Jan. 9 robbery of the Mountain America Credit Union at 6761 S. Redwood Road, also in West Jordan.
Detectives are looking into whether the suspects may be linked to any other unsolved crimes.
A 28-year-old West Jordan man, a 31-year-old South Jordan man and a 26-year-old West Valley City woman were booked into Salt Lake County jail on suspicion of federal bank robbery charges.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) announced February 19, 2013 that it has formed a $36.8-million contract with TerraTherm Inc. to carry out thermal remediation of dioxin at Vietnam's Danang Airport.
About 75 million litres of the dangerous carcinogen was spread over 2 million hectares during the war, but the cleanup will focus on a heavily-contaminated area of 19 hectares near a military base in Da Nang. The spot was one of a dozen areas used by the U.S. military to make and mix the dangerous chemical, which has been linked to birth defects.
Agent Orange was used in concentrations 20 to 55 times that of normal agricultural use.
USAID selected TerraTherm's In-Pile Thermal Desorption® (IPTD®) technology for treatment of approximately 73,000 cubic meters (95,000 cubic yards) of soil and sediment at Danang Airport. The IPTD® approach incorporates placing contaminated soil and sediment within an above-ground, covered and fully insulated treatment pile structure, and then heating each batch of soil over several months to destroy the dioxin. Once implemented, the technology can safely and effectively treat the soil to the required Vietnamese cleanup levels, as has been demonstrated at similarly-sized projects in the United States. TerraTherm is working with Krüger/VWS-VN to implement the project.
The remediation could take as long as four years.
