It seemed certain that Irish Minister for European Affairs Lucinda Creighton would be sacked and expelled from the governing Fine Gael party if, as expected, she votes against the abortion legislation, Protection of Life during Pregnancy Bill, later today.
Despite an all-night sitting until 5am the bill was not finally voted on until Thursday.
The bill passed two votes in the Irish parliament on Wednesday night and Creighton voted with the government on both occasions.
But a third clause which calls for the Government to pass legislation allowing for abortion rights where the mother can prove suicidal intent was expected to result in Creighton voting against it.
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has warned that he will expel all who vote against the bill from the party and that they will not stand in future elections for the party.
Creighton had delivered a tough speech on Monday saying she believed the abortion bill was "built on sand."
On Wednesday evening Mayo Fine Gael TD Michelle Mulherin said, "I am now faced with either supporting the Bill or being booted out of the party, my party."
The politician, who has previously voiced strong reservations about the clause allowing abortion if a woman is suicidal, spoke to BreakingNews.ie having met with the Irish leader Enda Kenny and Minister for Health James Reilly for over an hour.
She said, "I am not going to allow myself to be booted out so I'm supporting this legislation."
Mulherin continued saying she was "very disappointed that there was very little accommodation of the legitimate concerns expressed by myself and many others."
Her fellow Mayo constituency TD John O'Mahony also confirmed he would vote in favor of the new abortion bill ahead of the Dail (Parliament) vote.
BreakingNews.ie reported, "The Government revolt over legislation allowing abortion in limited circumstances is expected to be limited."
In a statement O'Mahony said he was satisfied that "the safeguards are adequate" to prevent abuse of the legislation.
"I have decided to support the passage of the remaining stages of this Bill through the Dáil."
Six other members of Irish government - Clare Daly, Joan Collins, Richard Boyd Barrett, Mick Wallace, Joe Higgins and Luke 'Ming' Flanagan - confirmed they would oppose the Bill.
They believe that Article 40.3.3 of Ireland's constitution should be repealed by referendum. This article places the life of the mother and unborn child on equal footing. Meaning that unless the mother's condition must be life threatening before doctors can perform a termination.
Roscommon Independent Luke 'Ming' Flanagan told TheJournal.ie, "I have sisters, I had a mother, I have aunts and I have daughters.
"My priority is their health and if one of my formal relatives was raped and they felt they needed to purge their body of it, that should be their choice."
Joe Higgins said the bill "represents a betrayal of women and the memory of Savita Halappanavar whose life would not have been saved with this legislation."
Clare Daly commented on the fact that this bill will make terminations illegal during an inevitable miscarriage while there is still a foetal heartbeat.
She said, "If a woman gets an infection in such circumstances, doctors will have to delay a termination until her life is at risk."
Holla - yes, you and your ilk aid, abet, encourage abortion and that makes you an abortionist.
"This law is yet another demonstration of the Great Irish Inferiority Complex in action, with Ireland's "progressives" trying to show the world how fierce modern they are, but always aping last year's fashion. Ireland has never seemed more provincial." This is one of the astutest comments I've ever read on this forum. You've hit the nail on the head and in an extremely succinct manner, megain; fair play to you. Your observation brings to mind one particular person who posts frequently on this forum (or at least used to) who epitomises the 'fierce modern', 'progressive' (i.e. provincial) mentality to which you've referred, one which is depressingly all-too-common in Ireland (particularly amongst the Celtic Tiger cub generation).
Your comments are as logical and erudite as ever, EamonnDublin. I could not agree more.
Why not settle for the term "abortionista"? Whereas an abortionist is someone who actually performs an abortion, "abortionista" could be used to designate a groupie of the abortion industry, particularly as such a person generally displays the kind of hysteria and self-absorption common in showbiz.
Eamonn @ 04.34 yesterday. You won't get any answers; you will get only slogans and/or abuse, if you are not simply ignored. I have unanswered questions on other threads, dealing with this same topic.
chuck @01.53 yesterday. As you say, the tide seems to be turning slowly against abortion in the USA. (If there is hope for the west, it lies with the USA.) This law is yet another demonstration of the Great Irish Inferiority Complex in action, with Ireland's "progressives" trying to show the world how fierce modern they are, but always aping last year's fashion. Ireland has never seemed more provincial.
your brutally stupid characterization of people who support abortion rights as 'abortionists' marks you as a demonizing crank, Smyrnian. Why don't you support gun control if you are, as you say, pro-life?
Eamonn - I see no difference at all. There are abortionists on here that would freely kill a baby as it is being born. They argue it is not a baby if even one last toe remains unborn. Imagine? I can't. And some mothers and their doctors desperately try to save their babies when premature by many months. Everyone agrees it is a baby then but it somehow does not become a baby if it is unwanted. The 'I have a headache so I must have an abortion' legislation is on the way in Ireland. 'Abortion please, I am feeling ''suicidal'. - ' nod, nod, wink, wink.
"Chuck" - Thank You! By the way, I still don't see anybody attempting to answer the question I posed earlier - asking for the difference between killing a baby one month before he/she is born, and killing the baby one month after he/she is born (in either case, because of "suicidal intent" of the mother. Any takers? Éamonn, Dublin.
eamonnDublin- Dr. McHugh made my point quite nicely. If a buck (or euro) can be turned, forget about everything else and go for it.
I have sympathy for Lucinda Creighton, since I was torn by what the Roman Catholic Church teaches and what women's real needs were, when I was a young doctor in Dublin. I am still a practicing Catholic and even a daily communicant. However, the more that I have been able to focus on what I believe Jesus would do, the more I find that the church is focused on power and control and not on the real needs of women. Women are foolish if they allow celibate men to deny them their real needs. Sincerely, Dr Rosemary Eileen McHugh, Chicago, Illinois
eamonnDublin- I won't presume to tell the Irish what is best for them, but I can tell you of the tactics employed here, by pro abortion people are. They always resort to worst case scenario and have the public thinking it is common. Abortion advocacy is losing ground in America. More and more people are seeing that it is just an industry. It is no longer the over arching concern of the American woman, but to its providers, it is very important. There is a great deal of money to be made and politicians around the world are not immune to greed.
Certainly this bill doesn't go far enough, as Flanagan, Joe Higgins, Daly, Collins, Boyd Barrett, and Wallace say. IF their interpretation is right or IF the medical profession interprets the bill as they the 6 TDs do, then it is inadequate even to save the lives that doctors can save. These TDs are saying that in cases of incomplete miscarriage when infection threatens and the fetus is irreversibly dying, doctors may not abort until the pregnant woman is nearly dead (when it's too late to save her from death or permanent organ damage). Even when the doctors know that she WILL certainly die through their delay and that their delay cannot save the fetus? It seems to me that doctors would have to be hopelessly conservative to interpret the efforts of Dáil Éireann that way. Nonetheless, the 6 TDs are right that the people should repeal Ireland's constitution section 40.3.3 because it has proven in principle and in practice to be impossible to save both lives when each has an "equal" right to life, both the one irreversibly dying and the one unnecessarily dying. And this bill keeps in place Ireland's barbaric coercions with regard to non-viable fetuses, lifelong damage to female health, and pregnancy coerced by rapists assisted by the full enforcement power of the state. Will it require more Savita deaths to bring change?
The more details of the proposed legislation are revealed the more confusing the question of ACTUAL Irish abortion reform becomes for those in countries where the protection of real "lives in being" is already in place (as opposed to the pre-human fetuses "EamonnDublin" and other fanatics insist on confusing with actual babies for reasons of emotional distortion). If the actual effect of this legislation would be to cut BACK the rights of a woman in concert with her doctor, it is hardly the needed reform, but unless the Catholic Church and anti-abortion fanatics are playing a far smarter game than they are usually prone to, their frenzied opposition to the government's bill would seem to indicate that there must be something here worth advancing. Madame Creighton clearly would not be an appropriate Minister for European Affairs if her views on abortion reform were drastically at odds with European law on the subject, but if her objections to the proposed law as represented here are that it doesn't go far enough fast enough, her dismissal should she vote against its passage would be a pity but a matter of understandable necessity for party discipline - and particularly unfortunate if opponents to real reform use it as a smoke screen to their effective support of BACKROOM abortion butchers which remain the practical alternative to legal reform.
Amazing. Irish people doing the work the British tried to accomplish for hundreds of years. Eliminate the the Irish. Surely, generations of patriots didn't die to see this shameful law.
@hollabackgurl, the Irish pro choice movement has received more American money then any Irish pro life group. Aren't the facts inconvenient.
Sorry, I still don't understand why Madam Creighton would be "fired" over this, or anything else. Aren't church and state separate in Ireland? Mr. Kenny has certainly said so on many occasions.
@hollabackgurl, the Irish pro choice movement has received more American money then any Irish pro life group. Aren't the facts inconvenient.
Irish politics is dismal. A courageous and independent minded politician like Creighton is being thrown while an outright liar like Gilmore stays second in command.
I congratulate Lucinda Creighton on having the courage to back up her convictions. By the way, can anybody please tell me what is the difference between the killing of a baby on the grounds of suicidal intent by his/her mother one month before the mother gives birth, and the killing of a baby one month after he/she is born because of suicidal intent by the mother? Éamonn, Dublin, Ireland.
Ireland is governed by an assortment of criminals who are only concerned for their own personal prospects.
Lucinda Creighton is a Trojan horse candidate for the Iona Institute and the American fundamentalist who bank roll it. Enda Kenny will finally have to admit she played him and his party. Her loyalty is to theocracy not Ireland.

Ohio State nets landmark win over Bucknell in lacrosse
Click here to read the game recap and see the official box score
It might be a stretch to call a win in week three a defining moment but Ohio State finally turned the tables on Bucknell, winning its first ever over the Bison in five tries and doing it in thrilling fashion on an overtime goal by Joel Dalgarno.
The Buckeyes needed something early in the Nick Myers era to hang their hat on and this might be it, allowing the upstart Bucks to turn the page from their best ever season in program history in 2008.
"That's a team we've never beaten in this program's history," Myers said. Ohio State lost in triple overtime last year and also suffered a one-goal loss in 2007. "They were 4-0 against us. We've been in that situation before and to be there again and come out on top feels good.

Last year, we introduced the IL/ESPN.com weekly lacrosse chat, which featured various members from InsideLacrosse.com and NCAA players all season long (check out a sample here).
Fallball Check-In: Ohio State Buckeyes
By Clay Hall
The 60th season of Ohio State lacrosse begins with a new coach and a new challenge.
Nick Myers, a 29-year old assistant to former coach Joe Breschi, earned the head coaching job with his passion and a new blueprint for Buckeye lacrosse, complete with playbook, a mission statement and a history lesson, tracing the heritage of six decades of OSU lax. Those are pages right out of football coach Jim Tressel's "Winner's Manual."

2dr Cpe Auto quattro 3.2L Prestige
Starting at | Starting at 18 MPG City - 27 MPG Highway
With the addition of Cabriolet models for 2010, Audi has a full line of coupes and convertibles ranging from fuel-efficient turbo 4-cylinder to powerful V8 and turbo V6 models. The A5 and S5 coupes hit the target on design and styling--they're quite possibly the best-looking 2-door touring cars inside and out. Interior comfort and ride quality is also top notch, with the coupe making an especially good long-distance cruiser for two. Also, Audi says that the A5 and S5 Cabriolet models have best-in-class trunk space.
For 2010, the A5 gets a new standard 4-cylinder engine that costs $4,700 less than the previously most affordable A5 3.2 quattro, and the 3.2 is no longer offered with a manual transmission. The third generation of Audi's multi-media interface (MMI) is also installed in the A5 family for 2010, including 3D map topography and Sirius traffic.
The A5 and S5 are closely related, but the performance-focused S5 model offers improved handling, a sportier look and a powerful V8. The A5 is offered in 2.0 TFSI versions, which now come with a 211-horsepower, 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, and 3.2 FSI versions, which get a 265-horsepower, 3.2L V6. S5 coupes get a 354-horsepower, 4.2-liter V8, while S5 Cabriolets have a 333-horsepower, 3.0LTFSI V6.

WASHINGTON—Pope Benedict XVI accepted the resignation of Bishop Patrick R. Cooney of Gaylord, Michigan, and named as his successor, Msgr. Bernard A. Hebda, 50, a Pittsburgh priest and Under-Secretary of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts.
Publication of the appointment was made in Washington, October 7, by Archbishop Pietro Sambi, apostolic nuncio to the United States.
Bernard Hebda was born in Pittsburgh, September 3, 1959. He attended South Hills Catholic High School in Pittsburgh, Harvard University, where he was awarded a Bachelor's degree in 1980, and Columbia University, where he was awarded a Juris Doctor degree in 1983.
He attended North American College in Rome and earned a Licentiate of Canon Law degree from the Gregorian University in 1990.
Bishop-elect Hebda was ordained a priest for the Diocese of Pittsburgh on July 1, 1989.

Behind Door #2
I walked into the granite-countered bathroom, complete with garden tub and complimentary bathrobe. There were sliding doors above the bathtub that opened into the main living space. The sample bottles of sweet-smelling shampoos, lotions, and conditioners stood at attention like little soldiers.
There were two floor-to-ceiling opaque glass doors to my left, each one outfitted with bath and hand towels. "Wow, that's some shower," I thought.
I couldn't find the toilet. I didn't think it would be in the main living area, but, in Miami I guessed anything was possible. I stepped into the living area looking for another door hiding the toilet.
Because of the problems with check-in, I didn't want to call the front desk and say, "Um, excuse me, I can't find the toilet. Does my room have one?"
I went back in the bathroom area and stared at the opaque doors. I opened the one on my left and beheld the shower. My deductive powers kicked into high gear, and I figured the other door must lead to (oh, how I hoped it did) the toilet. I pulled on the handle and there it was—the toilet. What I needed was there all the time.
I know you're wondering: What in the world does this have to do with addiction and recovery? Well, it speaks to the fact that not everything is as it appears. At first glance, it looked like I had a huge shower and no commode; lots of creature comforts, but no toilet. But what I needed was there, I simply had to open the right door.
It also is a reminder that resources are available, we just have to look for and access them—we have to open doors. A great starting place is the Internet. Alcoholics Anonymous
It's scary walking into a strange hotel room with its unfamiliar light switches, doors and windows. But, as a traveler you have to take risks at opening the doors, looking in the drawers for what will make your stay comfortable and pleasurable.
The same is true for recovery. It's a strange new world with unfamiliar jargon and behaviors, but the rewards far outweigh the risks.
Go ahead, open the door, a new life is waiting for you.

A Guide to Good Office Health
July 23rd, 2007 by Jurga Galvan
If you work in an office, it is important to understand good office health practices. Many people don't give much thought to office health, and they pay the price. Illness, injury, weight gain and stress can result from poor office health habits. The longer you go without attending to these issues, the worse they can become. This is why it's so important to adopt healthy habits in the workplace. Most people work at least eight hours five days a week. This adds up, and the way you spend this time can really have an effect on your health. It doesn't have to be a negative effect, however.
One aspect of good office health is ergonomics. Improper posture can lead to injuries like tendonitis, repetitive stress injury, carpal tunnel syndrome and back strain. First, make sure your computer screen is positioned at eye level. Your chair should support your lumbar region and allow you to sit up straight without slouching or bending. Your thighs and knees should be parallel to the floor with your feet positioned under the knees, flat on the floor. Your arms should also be parallel to the floor, with your fingers comfortably reaching the keyboard without reaching or straining. When you type, your wrists shouldn't rest on the wristpad or keyboard but should hover in a straight line above the keyboard.
For office workers whose job is sedentary, it is important to take time for exercise. Stretching is especially important to keep the body limber. Although it's a good idea to stretch the entire body every day, it's even more important to stretch the fingers, hands and wrists regularly throughout the day. This will further help you avoid repetitive stress injury from long term computer use. If you can take some time during your lunch break for a short walk in the sunshine, this can help you stay in shape as well. The diet you consume at work is also an important part of your health.
Many people eat whatever is available or convenient when they're at work. This might mean sugary coffee and doughnuts in the morning, fast food at lunch and sweet or salty snacks and soft drinks throughout the day. This is a terrible way to eat and can lead to obesity and poor health. If you must have coffee, cut down on the sugar. Skip the doughnuts and have yogurt with granola or a whole wheat bagel with low-fat cream cheese. Instead of soft drinks, drink bottled water throughout the day. Healthy snacks include things like nuts, raisins, raw veggies and fruits. For lunch, pack something healthy from home or order a salad instead of a burger.
Clean air is another important part of good office health. Make use of a good air purifier and don't allow smoking in the office. Keep furniture dusted and floors vacuumed on a regular basis. Houseplants can improve the look of your office as well as the air quality. When you pay attention to every aspect of office health, the payoff is feeling and even looking better. You'll have more energy and feel more vibrant at work, and away from work as well.

CPAC nixes Dry Creek apartment complex
Traffic concerns cited
By Jay O'Brien
The Rio Linda/Elverta Community Planning Advisory Council (CPAC) voted unanimously on May 10, 2005, to deny the 70 unit apartment complex proposed for the southwest corner of Dry Creek Road and E Street. Sixty people attended this meeting at the Community Center.
The project was first heard by CPAC as an "information only" item on December 14, 2004; at that time CPAC expressed concern about the gridlock situation on Dry Creek Road that would be worsened by this dense development. CPAC members now voiced their disappointment that the developer's response to their previous concerns was "The County is going to tell us what to do" and that no changes were proposed by the developer to mitigate the traffic situation CPAC identified in December.
CPAC members cited the County's decision to use Dry Creek Road as the main north-south route into the new Elverta Specific Plan (ESP) area, differing with CPAC's previously stated desire that the ESP traffic be routed via 16th Street, using a low level crossing of the Dry Creek Parkway as recommended by County Transportation Planner Steve Hetland during the ESP approval process. When added to the expected ESP traffic on Dry Creek Road and the nearby elementary, junior high and high school traffic, CPAC agreed the proposed apartment complex would make a very bad situation even worse.
Adjacent neighbors submitted a petition with 60 signatures opposing the project; they expressed opposition to the proposed reduced setbacks that would place carports, two-story apartment buildings and dumpsters close to their existing homes. The apartment complex would rezone the property from its existing agricultural-residential and commercial zoning to RD-25, allowing the proposed 16.3 residences per acre. Neighbors support the existing zoning and strongly oppose the proposed zoning change.
The CPAC's vote is only advisory; the project will next be heard by the County's planning commission. Public testimony will be taken by that commission.
CPAC proposed conditions to be applied should the planning commission and/or the Board of Supervisors approve the project, overruling CPAC. Proposed is a 8' high masonry wall surrounding the project; landscape trees to be a minimum of 16' high in two years; dumpster locations to be reviewed; entry and exit traffic to be assisted with turning lane/traffic light; open space to be increased, providing play area for children; parking to be increased from 128 to at least 140, providing 2 spaces per apartment; west facing windows on second story apartments to be reduced; and, setbacks from property lines to be no less than 10% below code.
The project, if approved, will be a fully fenced and gated two-story complex with a clubhouse and swimming pool. Architect Bob Kuchman said there would be 24 one-bedroom 717 sq.ft. units, 24 two-bedroom 2 bath 1015 sq. ft. units, 8 double-master bedroom 2 bath 1043 sq. ft. units, 8 three-bedroom 2 bath 1253 sq. ft. units, and 6 town home two-bedroom 1178 sq. ft. units. The rents were estimated to range from $900 to $1100 per month, said developer Eric Nejadian.
At the December presentation to CPAC, Nejadian introduced Cortez Quinn, Sacramento County First District Supervisor Roger Dickinson's Chief of Staff. In December, Quinn told CPAC, "Roger did believe that this project would fit, here, and he is supportive of it."
Other actions taken by CPAC May 10th included approval of several proposed lot splits and approval of a subdivision creating six residential lots on the southwest corner of 4th Avenue and N Street. The subdivision would complete the paving of 4th Street from its present dead end north of M Street through to N Street. Reza Valizadeh, representing the developer, agreed to contact the property owners on the east side of the project on 4th Avenue and offer them an opportunity to pave their side of the road when the new paving would be placed. CPAC's suggested conditions included a requirement that all construction access be via N Street, not 4th Avenue.
CPAC heard two information only presentations on projects. Jesse Bradman proposes a two lot addition to his subdivision on N Street between Front Street and 7th Avenue; CPAC voiced no objections. A proposal for "Dry Creek Meadows", a 43 home subdivision on 4.25 acres on the southeast corner of Dry Creek Road and C Street elicited CPAC's suggestions that neighbors be contacted and a less dense development be considered.

Good grief, no. It's the result, not the intent, that determines is something is helpful or harmful. Bad regulations are always defended on good intentions, because intentions are not a measure of performance.
regulations prohibit engine destroying additives being added to fuel, encourage electrical systems to have devices that prevent electrocution
Consumers and courts can do that just fine without regulation.
lower prices by fostering a single standard that is available for everyone
It's like we've learned nothing from the Communications Act of 1934. It's been almost a hundred years since we made these mistakes. We can do better.

island adventure
The skies were ominous on our ferry ride to Martha's Vineyard. Just a few clouds, we said. And then it poured buckets. We were so distraught! Do we go back to the Cape and save our Vineyard adventure for another day?
But destiny was on our side, and the sun came out! We were soaking wet, but it didn't matter! Yippee!
We walked all over Oak Bluffs, taking in the Flying Horses carousel, Mad Martha's ice cream, and Back Door Donuts! (Delish.)
Lunch was at the super cool Sand Bar & Grille, where we had amazing crispy calamari and clam chowder - a meal fit for a tourist on the Cape, essentially.
Then we strolled the cuter-than-cute "gingerbread houses" that Manu got the biggest kick out of.
Want to go to Martha's Vineyard for the day? Take the Steamship Authority ferry from Woods Hole ($16, round trip) and get off in Oak Bluffs. Spend the day walking around and catch a bus to the other towns - Vineyard Haven, Edgartown and Menemsha! If you're feeling adventurous you can rent bikes or mopeds to scoot around the island in as well.
Let me know if you're up for an island adventure, I can give you some tips!

That sky is horrifying but I'm glad it passed. When I went to Philly... we were waiting for the ferry to take us across to a concert. We literally saw the storm come over the river right onto us. CREEPY! haha and hilarious.

The Affordable Care Act upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court last week stands to be a major boon for the more than 1,120 community health centers across the country, including the Venice Family Clinic, that will receive about $1.1 billion allocated by the health care reform law to create and expand medical access for the poor.
The Venice Family Clinic, which is the largest free medical clinic in the country, received a $975,000 grant in mid-June under the health care reform act, which is better known as Obamacare. The clinic will use the money to expand services to an additional 4,000 poor and uninsured men, women and children on the Westside, said Elizabeth Benson Forer, executive director of the clinic. The grant covers an 18-month period and will be followed by annual grants of $650,000. It will cover the clinic's main facility at 604 Rose Ave., the Robert Levine Family Health Center at 905 Venice Blvd. and the in Santa Monica.
The Venice Family Clinic is among more than 1,120 community health centers nationwide, and more than 100 in California, eligible for federal funding to expand services and access as part of the Affordable Care Act. The health centers, which are often the only source of primary care for the poor in their community, are an integral part of the Affordable Care Act.
"Community health centers could potentially benefit in the next five to 10 years with federal money being available for new community clinics," said Dylan Roby, an assistant professor in the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health.
The health care reform law frequently references community health centers and provides various types of funding for construction, expansion and improving access for patients, Roby said. Some of the grant programs focus on developing new networks among medical schools and local providers to help patients navigate the shifting healthcare landscape, while another provision will allow community health centers to be involved in residency training of doctors.
"There will be a lot of new, lower income patients insured through Medicaid or the state exchange and the goal is to get health care close to where people live," Roby said.
Most community health centers rely on grants for about 25 percent of their operating costs, with donations accounting for another 25 percent and roughly 50 percent coming from billings for Medicaid and third-party insurance reimbursements, Roby said.
"Now that we are moving to an insured world, it remains to be seen if community health centers will remain the anchor for uninsured or if they will diversify with more insured patients coming in," Roby said.
The Venice Family Clinic is hopeful that it will be able to receive additional funds through the Affordable Care Act when they become available to expand services in Santa Monica and Mar Vista, Forer said.
The Venice Family Clinic since 1995 has received about $34.7 million in grants from the federal government for a variety of programs and services ranging from HIV awareness and treatment to early-education programs for children. The clinic has an annual operating budget of about $20 million.
The clinic was founded in 1970 by physicians Phillip Rossman and Mayer B. Davidson and has expanded to eight sites in Venice, Santa Monica, Mar Vista and Culver City. The clinic serves about 25,000 patients primarily from the Westside annually and 97 percent are poor and nearly 75 percent lack insurance.
Many of the clinic's patients will have insurance for the first time and will have a way to pay for their care, Forer said.
"If someone needs specialty care they won't end up bankrupt," she said. "Someone with a low income who needs diagnostic tests can run up large bills they can never really afford to pay off and that won't happen to them anymore."
Community health centers such as the Venice Family Clinic will need to focus on obtaining grant funding and then joining the new network of accountable health care, Roby said. With a wave of newly insured patients expected by 2019, the clinics must be able to attract patients, provide health care and get reimbursed for their services, he said.
The Venice Family Clinic, which receives widespread community support during its annual Venice Art Walk & Auctions and holiday fundraising efforts, will continue to rely on support from private donors, Forer said. The clinic will remain a place for those with no insurance or no place else to turn, including the homeless and mentally ill, and will accept all types of insurance, including some that don't completely cover the cost of care, Forer said.

Micronucleus – an USB bootloader for tiny85
One of easiest ways of programming microcontrollers is using bootloaders. They do not require special cable adapters or interfaces. It can be done using any standard communication interface like RS232, USB and even storage media like SD card. USB is most common interface on PC so naturally we like bootloaders that support it. One way would be to use serial to USB adapter, but this doesn't look attractive as it already asks for additional hardware and may add additional costs.
Blubie has been working on bootloader that is designed for AVR tiny85 and works with minimal USB interface. Bootloader size is under 2.1kb and pretends to be smallest USB bootloader for tiny85. It's not written from scratch but based on USBaspLoader, just more squeezed and with some improvements.

By Vance Cariaga, INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY
People of a certain age in the U.S. remember what it was like when air travel became financially viable for the majority of the population.
Lower airfares meant more potential passengers, more flights and more planes. Aircraft manufacturers responded by building planes at a feverish rate to keep up with demand.
That same dynamic is taking place now in many developing countries in Asia, Africa and the Middle East. As the middle class grows in these countries — and more consumers can afford the fares — so does demand for air travel.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner could provide B/E Aerospace with lots of future work on plane interiors. AP View Enlarged Image
Large aircraft manufacturers are once again building planes at a feverish rate to help meet demand, and companies that supply gear for the aviation industry are getting pulled along in the jet stream.
One of those companies, B/E Aerospace (BEAV), makes cabin interior parts for commercial aircraft and business jets.
B/E is a leading supplier of seats, lighting systems, galley equipment, oxygen systems and other gear to the original equipment manufacturing (OEM) and aftermarket sectors.
Its customers include top commercial aircraft manufacturers such as Boeing (BA) and Airbus as well as companies that specialize in building business jets.
Big Beneficiary
As these manufacturers work to fill a huge backlog of global orders for new planes, B/E has been one of the biggest beneficiaries. The company has produced seven straight quarters of 21% or better sales and earnings growth, and its stock price recently spiked to nearly a five-year high.
"B/E's principle driving force has been an extended build plan from Boeing and, to a lesser extent, Airbus," said Richard Whittington, an analyst at Drexel Hamilton. "B/E has been increasing its penetration inside Boeing, which has been feeding off of international growth in business from China, India, Indonesia, the Middle East, Africa, Central Asia and other markets."
He says Boeing has a backlog of orders for a number of commercial aircraft models, including the 737, 747, 757, 767, 777 and 787. That backlog should last several years.
"Aside from the 787, they are probably entering the fourth inning in terms of filling all of the orders. The 787 is not even out of the first inning yet," Whittington said.
The upshot for B/E is a steady stream of business — not the least because it is the exclusive supplier of certain parts to Boeing and other clients.
For example, B/E earlier this year signed a deal to become the exclusive manufacturer of modular lavatory systems for Boeing's 737 Next-Generation family of airplanes, as well as the 737 MAX. The estimated value of the transaction was more than $800 million.
Modular lavatories allow airlines to add two to six seats to a narrow-body aircraft.
"We believe there is a massive market for the company's modular lavatory product, which begins shipping in late 2013," said J.B. Groh, an analyst D.A. Davidson.
B/E might also benefit from a recent deal Boeing signed with Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) to develop seats, galleys, lavatories and in-flight entertainment offerings.
"While this represents a new entrant into the interior markets, we believe B/E's leading market share, massive installed base and innovative design gives the company a sustainable advantage (over competitors)," Groh noted.
Strength in the OEM market has helped offset weakness in the aftermarket sector, he says. "Growth in oxygen systems, LED lighting, galley inserts and lavatories should dampen top-line volatility and dependence on what is viewed as discretionary aftermarket spending."
Meanwhile, the market for business jets continues to rebound from a slump that began in 2007.
"Business aviation got overbuilt in 2005 and 2006, but it is slowly coming back and should accelerate into 2013 and 2014," analyst Hamilton said.
For now, B/E has plenty of work to keep it busy. The company's booked backlog during the third quarter rose 9% year-over-year and 1.5% sequentially to $3.75 billion.
"Backlog continues to be well-disbursed geographically," Groh noted. "Expectations are for bookings to exceed revenue for 2013 based on large OEM backlogs and new products entering the market."
Earnings Report
B/E posted third-quarter revenue of $766.7 million. That was up 21% from the prior year and slightly above Wall Street estimates. Organic revenue growth, excluding 2012 acquisitions, was 10.5%.
The commercial aircraft business, which accounted for more than half of the quarter's revenue, saw sales climb 16% from the prior year to $385.6 million.
Operating earnings for the segment expanded 19% to $67.3 million.
"Our revenue growth continues to be driven primarily by the robust new aircraft delivery cycle," Chief Executive Amin Khoury said in a statement. "Approximately 61% of third-quarter revenues were driven by demand for products for new-buy aircraft, reflecting both robust new aircraft deliveries and weaker aftermarket demand."
Earnings for the quarter rose 20% to 77 cents a share, topping estimates for 70 cents.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters see B/E's full-year profit rising 25% this year, 20% in 2013 and 19% in 2014.

Call center on demand and hosted contact center provider, Five9. has announced that New Jersey-based mortgage lender Call4You has improved its customer win rates after deploying an integrated lead management software solution from Leads360 and Five9, built on Five9's Cloud Computing Platform for call centers.
With Five9 Cloud Computing Platform for call centers, software vendors, systems integrators, call center consultants, developers and IT professionals can build native software integrations between Five9 on-demand call center software and other enterprise software applications.
Jim Dvorkin, chief technology officer at Five9, told TMCnet in a recent interview that productivity gains from integrating Five9 virtual call center software with a lead management system can be substantial and can be a major factor in Call4You's improvement.
"The integrated solution automates the workflow from customer website inquiries right up to talking to a live agent, and data synchronization between the Five9 and Leads360 systems," Dvorkin said. "This eliminates time-consuming manual activities and let's loan officers focus on processing applications."
Additionally, in a recent press release, Dvorkin also said that the success of Call4You demonstrates how deploying integrated on-demand call center applications built on Five9's industry-first Call Center Cloud Computing Platform produces immediate results, without significant capital investment or a lengthy implementation cycle.
Call4You processes mortgage leads for multiple online financial services companies and the integrated solution improves speed-to-contact. Company officials said that this allows the company to reach "leads faster than the competition and close more deals." What's more, once the consumer completes an application online, Leads360 captures the information and passes it to the Five9 Virtual Call Center software for automated dialing via the predictive dialer.
Also, inbound calls are immediately qualified in the Five9 IVR system and transferred to a licensed loan officer. Company officials said that Five9 and Leads360 exchange data instantly and trigger appropriate actions in each system based on call results and other important business events.
In addition to the obvious success of Call4You, the improvement of its operations solidifies Five9's stronghold in the call center industry.
"It validates and proves the value of the Five9 Cloud Computing Platform for Call Centers and confirms that market-leading CRM and lead management Software-as-a-Service solution vendors are investing in our platform," Dvorkin said in a recent TMCnet interview.
The pre-packaged application integration is used by Call4You. In order to automate all outbound calling activities, it leverages the Five9 Cloud APIs provided by the Five9 Cloud Computing Platform for Call Centers, and built-in Web services features of the Leads360 system.
So, what's next for Five9 on its path to success?
"We will continue to improve and enhance the Cloud Computing Platform for Call Centers and announce additional integrated customer deployments on the platform as our momentum accelerates," Dvorkin told TMCnet.

In "Consigned to the Sea" by Danielle Ackley-McPhail, Sionna and her daughter, Kate, have been captured by North Sea pirates who want Sionna to show them a course to avoid detection by the crown's ships. Their leering threats against her daughter have her frantic, but the pirates don't know that she has one last hope—the selkie husband who abandoned her seven years ago. And even Sionna doesn't know what such a reunion might bring.
High tension permeates this piece, carrying through each of the threats the characters face. Ackley-McPhail communicates Sionna's desperate situation through tight prose and strong characterization without making the character a swooning victim or an object of pity.

(118)Gentle and easy on the eye - Cult Classic
By PaulHappy (154 reviews) , 23 Feb 2013This is one of those movies that can be watched every few years - in other words a classic. It is not an epic/blockbuster movie but it is nevertheless a cult classic and has lasted the test of time (or 20 years + at least) Gere & Roberts are at their best - a Cinderella story in a modern setting - a gentle and easy on the eye story- Was this review helpful to you?

As part of what AMD calls its 'disruptive server strategy', the firm has purchased micro-server maker, SeaMicro, for the grand total of £210 million.
Why was this such a 'clever' move you may ask? Aside from pushing forwards with AMD's Cloud computing agenda, allowing the firm to break into the market, not only as a supplier of components but of complete systems, SeaMicro was a big promoter of Intel products, offering cluster designs featuring Sandy Bridge and Atom processors, with some of the firm's server designs capable of accommodating up to 786 Atoms.
In a single purchase, AMD has not only equipped itself as a server system OEM but dealt a blow to the competition, Intel, at the same time. The micro-server market is expected to boom and is forecast to capture 10 per cent of the total server market by 2015 and, SeaMicro was, until now, Intel's primary partner in the emerging market segment.
"We are accelerating AMD's transformation into an agile, disruptive innovator capable of staking a data centre leadership position," stated AMD CEO Rory Read, "The unmatched combination of AMD's processing capabilities, SeaMicro's system and fabric technology, and our ambidextrous technology approach uniquely positions AMD with a compelling, differentiated position to attack the fastest growing segment of the server market."
Whilst it's expected that SeaMicro servers will continue to offer up ARM and MIPS based offerings in the future, Intel is off the table, with AMD looking to equip servers with Opteron processors sometime this year. Let's hope that AMD hasn't dug its own grave, avoiding any backlash from Intel and its giant asset purchasing pockets.

Janie for Abby Winters
Nineteen year old cute Janie returned to Abby Winters for this delightful solo kitchen shoot. She has been on the abby winters website a total of eight times now with a nice mix of solo and girl girl shoots. At times I must sound like a broken record but she is another favorite of mine. I simply adore her cute "girl-next-door" looks and style.

Articles Autos Blogs Links News Press RSS Shows SW TubeDataSound, Science & Spirit — Articles, Research & Esoterica"I was delighted to find this. You guys are scientists and spiritualists. Kudos!" Material herein added and updated constantly; presented for inspirational and educational purposes per fair use.
Tubes Vs. Transistors, from newsletter #47 of The Absolute Sound magazine:
Like many audiophiles, Sprey believes that translating music into numbered code creates a concoction that is cleaner than it is real, too perfect for people, sound with no soul. "Digital is like a horrible step backwards," Sprey says. "You have to use your ear to sort out where the new technology helps the music and where it hurts...especially with the most expensive and most complex stuff that conventional studios are using." "Essentially, all the technology you have today works to hurt the music. ... It makes life convenient for engineers [and consumers]. It allows ... people who can't make music very well ... to sound pretty good. ... But all those electronic bells and whistles - the extra reverb, the extra equalization, the compression, all those things ... take a little life out of the music. And by the time you've applied 50 or a hundred of those things, the music doesn't sound anything like it would if it were played in your living room. ... Digital is like a horrible step backwards. ... You have to use your ear to sort out where the new technology helps the music and where it hurts." What used to be called the "record business" ... quickly grew to become the "record industry," and now is metamorphosing into global conglomerations like Time Warner and MCA. As a result, Sprey claims, decision-makers at the major labels are so far removed from the creative process that the artists they choose to record are often as ill-prepared as the recordings themselves. Dan Fesperman, Baltimore Sun, March 2002, from an interview with Mapleshade Records
The weaponization of sound: TED Talk video with an inventor of silent sound spread spectrum type technology. Sound that doesn't emanate from the speaker surface but materializes from high-frequency beat patterns in the air along along a LASER-straight, focused beam that does not fade with the inverse square law or suffer air-related distortions. Pinpoint sound destinations. True binaural playback at great distances. Turn up above about 80dB and the air itself begins to distort the sound being transmitted, in fashion of doppler modification. "War is the principal motivational force for the development of science at every level, from the abstractly conceptual to the narrowly technological. Modern society places a high value on "pure" science, but it is historically inescapable that all the significant discoveries that have been made about the natural world have been inspired by the real or imaginary military necessities of their epochs. The consequences of the discoveries have indeed gone far afield, but war has always provided the basic incentive." --Report From Iron Mountain See also CNN: Norwegian boy fends off wolves with Creed song - Gibson: Creed - Not Megadeth - Prevent Wolf Attack See also Michael Walton's research into cymatics, and watch John Stewart Reed on TED: "An almost magical tool...a looking glass into a hidden world. ...sound does have form, and we've seen that it can affect matter and cause form within matter..." Cymatic Experiments - Harmonics - Atomic Alignment - Sacred Geometry - Nature's Art - Visualizing "OM" and Gregorian Chants recorded in the Great Pyramid See also Dr. Len Horowitz on Coast to Coast, and see DLH website and i528tunes.com which offers original music performed in C528 and also offers "autotune"-like remapping of A440 music to C528.
Graph showing volume level of 1983 CD: sound is not highly compressed or "maximized": notice the relative differences among the peaks and troughs and how the signal does not fill the entire graph: There is headroom.
How long do you enjoy listening, when everything is screaming loud? Graph showing volume level of 1999 CD: sound is totally ruined: notice how everything is shouting loud (and therefore nothing is relatively quiet) and how the signal is pushed unnaturally (and unpleasingly) to fill the entire graph. When the music blares at full blast no matter the number or volume of instruments is it still music? At least one entire dimension is lost, compressed into homogeneity.
