Hello all, this is my first post here on the forum so bear with me as I become familiar with all the members and policies.
I will start out seeking advice on a hypothetical question.
I have used PES Anabeta serval times, I love the product, it works, and PES is a great company. Now what I don't love is the price tag lol, now I know PES offers great deals all the time and I have jumped on many of them.
If you look at PES Anabeta, the active ingredient Anacyclus pyrethrum, which is simply the plant Spanish Chamomile. I found a website where I can buy a 30 pack of seeds of Spanish Chamomile for $2.95.
What I am wondering is, can I grow these plants and make a herbal tea out of them and receive some of the benefits Anabeta delivers? I realize Anabeta is an extract of Anacyclus pyrethrum so I probably would have to drink gallons and gallons of tea just to equal a dosage of Anabeta. I'm just curious if orally drinking a tea consisting of Anacyclus pyrethrum would deliver some of the benefits.
A second question, I have always been intrigued in science and chemistry so how hard would it be for me to make my own extract from the plants and what would be the process involved in doing it.
This is all hypothetically speaking and for fun, I mean no disrespect to PES or any sales companies.

Packers vs. Broncos Preview: 5 Things to Watch
The Green Bay Packers (3-0) and Denver Broncos (1-2) face off in Week 4 of the NFL season Sunday.
The basics
When: 3:15 CST, Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011
Where: Lambeau Field, Green Bay, WI
TV: CBS, Jim Nantz and Phil Simms with the call
Radio: 620 AM WTMJ (Milwaukee); Packers Radio Network; Siruis Satellite Radio (Ch. 91)
Series: Packers lead, 6-5-1 (Packers won last regular season meeting, 19-13 (OT), on Oct. 29, 2007 at Denver.)
Five things to watch
A New House on the right side
With Bryan Bulaga on the sidelines this week recovering from an ankle and knee injury, second-year tackle Marshall Newhouse will make his first career NFL start. Remember, this is a guy who was inactive for every game he was healthy during his rookie year. But when Bulaga went down in Chicago, the Packers offense didn't back off or change the gameplan. As we've seen so many times in the past two season, the beat simply went on for the Packers after an injury at an important position.
Still, you'd have to expect the Broncos to test Newhouse early and often, and they have the horses to do it. Aaron Rodgers compared Elvis Dumervil—who is still questionable for Sunday—to pass rushers like Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney, and if Newhouse isn't faced with him, then he'll likely get rookie Von Miller. The Broncos' No. 2 overall pick in April has impressed with his first step and natural pass rushing skills. Newhouse passed his first test last Sunday, but he gets a whole new challenge against the Broncos.

In performing its functions, the Board is expected to protect the merit system and to protect employee and applicant rights guaranteed under the merit system, including protection against arbitrary and capricious recruitment and supervisory actions, support for recruitment and supervisory actions demonstrated by the facts to be proper, and to approach these matters without any bias or predilection to either supervisors or subordinates.

Appeals Process - top
The Personnel Regulations provide an opportunity for Merit System employees and applicants to file appeals with the Merit System Protection Board. Once the notice of appeal has been filed, the Appellant has ten work days to submit additional information required by Section 30.4 Appeal Period of the Personnel Regulations. After this information is received, the appeal is processed in one of two ways.
First, if the appeal involves a suspension, demotion, or dismissal, a hearing is scheduled. In cases involving suspension or dismissal, at least ten work days advance notice of the pre-hearing is given, with thirty work days notice given in all other cases. Upon completion of the pre-hearing, a formal hearing date is agreed upon by all parties. After the hearing, the Board prepares and issues a written decision.
The second method for processing appeals requires the development of a written record. Upon receipt of the notice of appeal and supplemental information, the County is notified and has fifteen work days to respond. The Board then provides the Appellant an additional fifteen workdays to respond to or comment on the County's submission. The case is then placed on the Board's agenda. A copy of all documentation is provided to each Board member and the Board discusses the case at the next work session. If the Board is satisfied that the written record is complete, a decision is made on the basis of the record. If the Board believes additional information or clarification is needed, it either requests the information in writing or schedules a meeting for the purpose of receiving oral testimony. If a hearing is granted, all parties are given at least thirty days notice.

How to Optimize Your LinkedIn Profile for Job Searching
The core of your LinkedIn presence is your profile, which is included with every job application you make on LinkedIn. Odds are good that prospective employers are going to check your LinkedIn profile when evaluating you for a job, so you want to make sure your profile is optimized to make you as appealing as possible to your prospective employer.
Here are some things to keep in mind when bulking up your profile for a job search:
Complete all the sections in your profile with as much accurate information as possible. It's easy to put up a skeleton of your employment history and never get around to fully completing your profile. Unlike a resume (where you could feel confined in terms of page length), you can be as expansive as you want with your LinkedIn profile.
You never know what part of your profile will get you included in someone's search result, but the more information you provide, the better chance someone will find you.
Focus on accomplishments rather than duties. I've seen a lot of people prepare their LinkedIn profiles in the same way they do their resumes, focusing solely on the duties they performed at each job. Although you want to give people an idea of what you did, hiring managers want to know the results of what you did, and the more concrete the example, the better.
Saying you organized procurement processes in your division may demonstrate a skill, but saying that you cut procurement costs by 16% in your first year carries a bigger impact. Go back and talk to past co-workers or bosses, if necessary, to get whatever specifics they can provide on your performance.
Add all relevant job search keywords, skill sets, and buzzwords to your profile. When prospective employers are searching for someone to hire, they may simply search for a core set of skills to see who can fill the position. Therefore, just stating your job titles is not enough.
If your profile says Software Developer, prospective hiring managers could assume that you're qualified, but the only way you'd be considered is if these managers ran a search on those keywords. Say that a hiring manager does a search for the programming languages C++, Java, Perl, and Python. If all those keywords are not somewhere in your profile, you won't show up in the list to be considered at all.
See how other people position themselves. Imagine if you could get a book of thousands of resumes from current employees that you could then use as models to position yourself.
Do a search for people with a job, education, or skill set similar to yours and see how they've worded their profiles or how they put their experiences in context. Use that insight to adapt your profile to make it clearer to others.
*List all your job experiences on your profile, not just full-time positions. Did you do any short-term or contract jobs? Were you an advisor to another company? Perhaps you're a board member for a local non-profit group or religious organization.
Your LinkedIn profile is designed to reflect all of your job experiences, which is not limited to a full-time job that provided a W-2 slip. Document any work experience that adds to your overall profile, whether you were paid for that job/experience or not.
Make sure that every experience you list on your profiles helps contribute to your overall career goals. After all, employers might not care that you were a pastry chef one summer.

MBSCC provides an array of social services designed to increase the stability and self sufficiency of families in our community. We were the pre-eminent service provider to seniors in the Bronx throughout the 70s, and the driving force in building community coalitions and collaborations in order to identify needs, gaps in service and innovative programs. In the 70s, MBSCC helped create seven senior centers along the Concourse Corridor through the Mid-Bronx Interagency Coordinating Council. For nearly 40 years, MBSCC has provided services for older New Yorkers including comprehensive in-home services (home health care, personal care, and light housekeeping), meals-on-wheels, transportation, case management, case assistance, telephone reassurance and friendly home visits. Current programs include:
Project Homebound, developed by MBSCC in 1977 and funded by the New York City Department for the Aging, has been widely replicated by service organizations throughout the city. The program prevents the early institutionalization of the home-bound elderly by providing case management and direct services such as Meals-on-Wheels, transportation, escort service and telephone reassurance. Today the program delivers more than 170,000 meals and provides 10,000 trips to frail, ailing and disabled seniors annually.
Concourse Plaza Social Services, implemented in 1981, provides a range of social, medical and legal services, as well as cultural, educational and recreational activities for seniors residing in the Concourse Plaza and surrounding community.
Concourse Plaza Wellness Program, previously the "Healthy Seniors" program, is a new health and wellness program, funded by the NYC Department for the Aging. The Wellness Program offers a comprehensive array of programs to a diverse group of seniors and features several social settings, including our Concourse Cafe, 5,000 square foot outdoor roof garden, multi-purpose room/computer lab and our 6,000 square foot cafeteria and program space. These programs include nutrition workshops, weekly exercise and walking groups, weekly consultations and screenings with a certified nurse, entertainment and activities.
In 1987, MBC was selected by the New York City Department for the Aging to Administer the Project Work Prepared (PWP) Program in the South Bronx. Under MBC staff supervision, PWP workers, many of whom are public assistance recipients, provide housekeeping and personal care in-home services to over 250 elderly clients.
Comforting Care, implemented in 1977 as part of Project Homebound, provides quality home care services for the elderly. As a licensed home care services agency, our foundational principle is to maintain the elderly at home with dignity and independence, while providing a high level of care. We supply personal care aides, home health aides and housekeeping services to Medicaid and private pay clients.
Adult Day is an enhanced services program for seniors who may be physically frail or have early signs of cognitive impairment. Participants in this program engage in social, recreational and therapeutic activities designed to meet the individual needs and abilities of each member. We provide a watchful eye to intercede and prevent acute care situations that may involve hospitalizations.

Dear Poetry Newbies: to blog, or not to blog? That is the question…
Monday, May 20th, 2013A version of this post first appeared at One Night Stanzas in September 2008.
I recently met a writer who was super, super keen to get people reading his work, and wanted my advice. One of the first things I said was, "do you have a blog?" He looked horrified at the very thought! However, I was keen to persuade him. I've been writing at One Night Stanzas for nearly five years now, and this blog has brought me publication opportunities, paid work, connections to cool people and all sorts of other amazing stuff. However, I know that if you're coming to blogging for the first time, it can seem a bit like handing copies of your secret diary out for everyone in the world to read. Sound about right? If so, I wrote this for you!
- If you choose to, you can make your blog visible to everyone on the web. That means a potential audience of hundreds of millions of people - probably more readers can you could ever get publishing in more traditional ways.
- Because so many poets already have blogs, signing up for a blog gives you access to a giant online community, to which you can quickly and easily get connected. You can link to and write about other poets' blogs and get links to yours in return, thus directing readers back and forth.
- Having your own blog means you don't have to rely on social networking sites or subscriptions to display your work online. You also have full control over your content, layout, whether you run ads, etc.
- If you have a blog, you can give the address to anyone who's interested in seeing your work… without having to give them print outs, write out emails or mile-long URLs, or direct them to third-party sites.
- Putting your name to a poetry blog means that people can Google you and find your poetry with just a click.
- Regardless of what some people may say, blogging is a form of self-publishing and can make a good addition to your literary CV.
- If you want to, you can make money (usually only a little) by posting ads on your blog.
- You don't just have to post your own poetry on your blog - you can use it to promote other sites and fellow poets that you like, or tell people what you've been reading and what you thought of it.
- You can use a blog to provide information on where your poems have been accepted for publication, where and when you're doing a reading, or which poetic events you're thinking of attending.
- Some poets have even turned their blogs into fully-fledged e-zines!
- A lot of new bloggers worry that by putting your work on a public blog, they're laying yourself open to plagiarism. The risks are small, but they are there… even if you make your blog visible only to friends or subscribers.
- Blogging is essentially like writing a journal, and journalling is generally a very personal thing. Bear in mind that, if you put your deepest secrets and most radical thoughts onto your blog, people WILL be able to read them. If it's on the web, it's practically public in every way!
- Blogs are usually open for comments, and that means that some people are bound to disagree with you. There's a common misconception that it's OK to be rude to other internet users (especially if they're trolling you) because you'll never meet them and it's fairly harmless. However, you never know who's reading your snarky responses or watching an ongoing fight between you and an anonymous commenter (the same goes for YOUR comments on other blogs, too). A potential new boss or a magazine editor might well change their mind about you even based on something as trivial as this - so tread carefully!
- You have to be careful what you say in your blog posts, too. When it comes to putting up your poetry, you should maybe avoid things like "if you don't like this poem then f**k you", and take a more "I appreciate comments but please try to be constructive" approach.
- Once you start a blog, it may be forever. If you don't want people to read your adolescent scribblings 10 years down the line, then make sure that your blog provider offers you a get-out option, and that you know how to get rid of your content should you need to.
- The same principle applies in a more general way, too - as I said before, you don't know who's reading, or how long their memory is. Just about everyone knows how to use the Print Screen function!
DOs and DON'Ts
- DO sign up with a reputable blog-provider and, if you're going to be posting your work, read up on their copyright policies. Do they claim the copyright of anything you put in your posts? DO shop around.
- DON'T part with any cash to set up your blog. You can definitely find a good blog-provider who'll host you for free. Anyone who asks for money is scamming you!
- DO look around at the blogs of other poets and writers to get an idea of how other people run their blogs.
- DO ask folk for their advice on finding your audience, writing content etc. DON'T feel obliged to act on it if you don't want to, though. Your blog should be as much your personal creation as your poems are.
- DO be prepared for the fact that, once you put your blog "out there," anyone can see it and comment on it. Even if you have closed comments, there's nothing to stop people from writing their own blog post about you. Responses to your blog may not always be positive, so DO make sure you have a thick skin and a whole load of patience before you take the plunge.
- DO bear in mind that many people get bored of their blogs after a while and just let them fall by the wayside. If this happens, DON'T leave your poems posted on your disused blog - people may think that makes it OK to nick them. You might also be the victim of spam attacks if you leave your blog unattended for too long.
- DON'T feel pressured into putting ads on your blog unless you really want them there. Yes, they make you money, but you can't always control their content, or know where they lead to when clicked.
- DON'T be afraid to tell other people about your blog. Blogging is all about connecting to other people and sharing your thoughts and ideas! However, DON'T feel obliged to link to someone else's blog or site just because they've linked to yours.
- DO include your blog in your literary CV, if you feel it's relevant.
- DON'T feature other people's work on your site unless you have their permission.
Final note: I love blogs. I could probably spend my whole life reading blogs, geeking out on Tumblr, and tweeting cool stuff I've found… if, you know, I didn't eventually get motion sickness from too much screen time, or have to pay rent. If you do decide that blogging is for you, I can highly recommend Wordpress. I've written in a ton of Wordpress blogs — the lovely One Night Stanzas of course, but also Bookworm Tutors, Girlpoems, Shore Poets, The Peripatetic Studio and others — and I always find it the cleanest and most user-friendly platform.
Good luck!

This is one where they should pack two heads.
The vintage toy head needs some improvement, but I don't want a 200x head on a vintage-styled body. It looked fine on the staction, but a heavy vintage-influenced head is a must for me for this line.
enjoying era wars
This is one where they should pack two heads.
In a perfect world, I would want Sssqueeze to be like this:
1) A direct translation of the vintage figure's design (head, armor, etc.).
2) He would have two sets of arms; regular and stretched arms that can swap
3) he'd have two sets of hands; regular and snake heads that can swap on the stretched arms
4) his gun is a mechanical weapon, not a pet
In a perfect world he would have bendy arms but alas we do not live in a perfect world . But seriously if he ends up with non-articulated arms like Octavia I'll be passing on yet another snakeman
1) Everything except the head. Just like Kobra Kahn and Rattlor, they'll make him more snake like.
2) Right on!
3) Again, totally with you here.
4) That's a gun? I always thought it was a staff, but since his arms were bendy, he had to have a staff that wrapped around his arms. Either way, like the Horde members so far, I expect him to come with a repaint of the Snake Men staff, especially if there's a lot of new tooling and already extra accessories because of the arms and hands.
Since bendy articulation is off the table, I wonder if they could do something similar to what LEGO did with their Doctor Octopus figure:
PoP Figures have to be based on the Vintage toys! This is NOT Filmation's Masters Of The Universe Classics MySpace Custom Blog
Im interested in seeing what they do with a weapon for him. I would be down for a repainted snake staff, and as for the snake accessory he originally came with, I have no idea what it is. i hope they include it,just wondering what it actually is.
I am hoping for a similar head that was on neca statues & also the colours similar too.

Lambert Street Tech offers an "In front of the firewall" chassis stiffening system for 1965 - 1970 Ford Mustangs.
The products include a Monte Carlo Bar, Tower Brace Assembly (export brace) and a Strut Brace Assembly (ties the Monte Carlo Bar to the shock towers).
We have gone the extra distance to ensure that our product fits your car; for example, we include an angle bracket in the 1969-1970 kits because those model years have a sloping fender well on the passenger side. We also include enough riser brackets because in some models the top of the shock tower slopes down quite a bit.
We offer a 10% discount to all MCA members (just type "MCA" into the promo box when ordering).

As for not wanting the 1 hole,this could very well be the year the one hole aint bad.Almost every year in the Derby you have a lighting pace with 5 or 6 rabbits scrambling to get near the rail in the first 300 yards.Not this year.With a very con<img src="/images/chat/ing.jpg">ed pace,its not gonna be that way this year.If Goldencents draws the 1 hole,it would actually be good for him,as no one can go with him early.If this were last year and Trinniberg were in,then the 1 hole wouldnt be so good.
if goldencents draws the rail, it absolutely eliminates him from any chance of winning the race at 50to1 he would be an underlay., if he was mine and i drew that spot i would scratch him.

its in the Plus section for £20, though the discount for Plus members hasnt been added to it. theres an advert for it up aswell which does state the 20% off/£15.99 price, but that just links to the £20 version too.
maybe itll be fully updated at some point, hopefully before the deal is finished though xD.

I've been checking it for the past 24 hours to see if they have fixed it but I'm only seeing £19.99 at the "buy now" page as well. Even though all the ads say it's £15.99 for Plus subscribers.
The same thing happened to me for House of the Dead 4 though. It was listed at a sale price but every time I clicked on it, it was the full price.
Hopefully someone will fix it before the offer expires.

Home › Bulova Accutron Watches
The Bulova Accutron brand was conceived in the 1960's by inventor, Max Hertzel, who developed the revolutionary idea of using a vibrating tuning fork to power his watches. The tuning fork movement was a horological revolution that Bulova Accutron has become synonymous with ever since. The brand logo, based on the tuning fork, is now world renowned for making top quality Swiss watches.
The constant development and ability to keep time accurately has propelled Bulova Accutron to the forefront of the Swiss watch Scene. The brands diversity and longevity was recognized by another watch manufacturer, Citizen, who purchased the Bulova Watch Company for $250 million early in 2008.
The collaboration of Bulova and Citizen has taken the horological world by storm, and they can now boast to be the biggest watch manufacturer in the world.

Posted 10:42 PM 7/11/2012 : Mom speaks out after daughter's drowning
TUCSON - An angry mother is speaking out for the first time, after her 10 month old daughter drowned in her babysitter's care.
Zada Davis told police she left Winter Azure in a bathtub unattended with the water running for about ten minutes.
The girl died six days later, becoming Pima County's only child drowning this year.
Wednesday Davis pleaded not guilty to second degree murder.
Winter's mother Kiari Holland sat in court and watched as Zada Davis pleaded not guilty to 2nd degree murder. A woman she thought she could trust.
Holland said she ran a background check and talked with friends who had also used the suspect as a sitter and thought that would be enough, but it wasn't.
Holland said, "I figured it would go without saying for common sense, especially for a parent much less for anyone. You just don't leave a child around water period."
Its common sense that police said was missing for 10 minutes, leaving the little girl under water one minute, for every month she was alive.
It was a life cut way too short, but that doesn't mean she didn't leave her mark.
Talking about some of the things Winter liked Holland said, "For a ten month old she liked being thrown and hung upside down." She also talked about how good of a baby she was. She said, "I still think to this day I don't think she knew how to produce tears. She was just not a very good crying type of child."
As for the suspect, the judge released her on her own recognizance, which is something Holland isn't happy about. She said, "I'm a little irritated because almost anywhere else I've lived she'd be sitting in jail right now."
But just because she's out of jail doesn't mean she's off the hook by any means. If Davis is found guilty, she could face up to 25 years in prison for the 2nd degree murder charge alone.

The scene surrounding Adam Thornberry on April 9 was a far cry from the dusty reality of Afghanistan.
Just days before, the 25-year-old Menomonee Falls man was in a helicopter flying dust-off missions in Afghanistan. On April 9, he sat comfortably in a booth at Bubba's Frozen Custard on Capitol Drive in Pewaukee with his family and a troop of Girl Scouts at his side.
The Army Reservist is home for two short weeks on his midtour leave.
Now a specialist in an Army Reserve unit, Thornberry is in his sixth year of service, and thanks to the efforts of Daisy Troop 4709 from Pewaukee Lake Elementary, his time in the war-torn nation is just a bit more bearable.
The Scouts sent colored patriotic pictures, letters of thanks and encouragement - and yes, Girl Scout cookies - to Thornberry and the soldiers with whom he serves.
The soldier said receiving any kind of mail was a treat, but the cookies and the encouragement was especially moving to a soldier longing for a little piece of home.
"It's almost like Christmas," Thornberry said.
Many of the 18 Daisies from Pewaukee came to Bubba's to meet their overseas pen-pal in person.
Thornberry brought them pictures of Afghanistan, including one of him enjoying the Girl Scout cookies he received. He also presented them with an American flag he took with him on a medical evacuation mission before sharing a dish of frozen custard with his newfound friends.
The first-grade girls were curious about his daily life.
"What happens if someone gets hurt while you're flying?" one asked.
"Why do you wear that suit?" another wondered when they saw a picture of Thornberry in his uniform.
Daisies have to achieve certain "petals" throughout the year.
"One of the petals is red. That stands for being brave and strong," explained troop leader Carin Quinones. "So we talked about the troops and the war and what that all meant, and they had to go to their classrooms and be really brave and stand up and ask for donations for the troops."
Lara Eisendrath, a 7-year-old Scout, said, "I think he's working hard to do it (to protect the country)."
She said Thornberry was brave and that she enjoyed sending him his favorite cookies.

DRYDEN -- Police say one person is dead, and four others are hurt, after an SUV and a minivan collided on Route 79 in Dryden Monday afternoon.

Hans Fallada Biography
Prior to WWII, the novels of German writer Hans Fallada (the pen name Rudolf Ditzen) were international bestsellers, on a par with those of his countrymen Thomas Mann and Herman Hesse. In America, Hollywood even turned his first big novel, Little Man, What Now? into a major motion picture. Once it became known that the movie had been made by a Jewish producer, however, steps were taken to prevent Falladas work being sold outside Germany, and the rising Nazis began to pay him closer attention. When he refused to join the Nazi party he was arrested by the Gestapowho eventually released him, but thereafter regularly summoned him for "discussions" of his work. This biography was last updated on 04/10/2010.

Using personal experience: Ethics of humanitarian action |
Page 1 of 2
This workshop is divided into two sessions, each approximately an hour long. Plan to take a break after "Understand the EHL materials," before moving on to Session 2, "Experience the classroom." Step 1: Workshop objectivesThe teaching methods you will learn in this workshop are "Discussion," "Writing and reflecting," and "Using dilemmas." You will explore these methods with the help of Exploration 5E: Ethics of humanitarian action. The exploration raises these questions: "What are the working principles by which humanitarian workers are guided when they act on behalf of victims of armed conflict?" "What are the principles of impartiality, neutrality and independence and why are they useful in humanitarian action?" "What ethical dilemmas do humanitarian workers encounter?" In Exploration 5E, students look at some of the principles that frame humanitarian action in general and the work of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in particular. The workshop is designed to raise the same questions for teachers. The aim is to familiarize yourself with a variety of pedagogical approaches for exploring the principles on which humanitarian action is based and the challenging ethical dilemmas that confront humanitarian workers. Take a look at the following workshop objectives:
Overview: What goes on in this workshop?In this online workshop, you will do Exploration 5E: Using personal experience: Ethics of humanitarian action as if you were a student. You will also view slide presentations on the teaching methods used in this exploration: "Discussion," "Writing and reflecting," and "Using dilemmas." You will need to keep an EHL journal to record your reflections. You may use your own paper journal, or download our journal template and type in your journal entry. Session 1Step 2: Understand the EHL materials (60 minutes)Read and clarify
Use the EHL journal template for note-taking as you view the slide presentations.
Do the explorationYou might be wondering: "Why do I actually have to engage in the activities that my students will do in class? Why can't I just read through them?" Many teachers feel that way initially. By doing the exploration as if you were a student, you will absorb the material and the issues related to it as your students will. In addition, sharing your reflections in Community activities will give you an opportunity to interact with teachers who have similar questions. Do Exploration 5E. If you are doing this workshop in a group, selected teachers should conduct the exploration, using the suggested sequence of 3 steps and then the step titled 'Close.' The 3 steps are, in order, "The idea of working principles," "Applying working principles in humanitarian action" and '"Ethical dilemmas in humanitarian action." If you are doing this workshop on your own, invite a few friends or family members to participate, so that you can discuss the working principles and apply them to actual ethical dilemmas that come up during humanitarian action. EHL Journal reflectionAfter doing the exploration, write down your thoughts on the advantages and the risks of using discussion and dilemma analysis as teaching techniques. Take a break and continue with Session 2 later.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
Good day for obamacare today is the deadline for states to decide whether or not they were running key piece.
All of this law or leave it to the federal government.
Has called an exchange and what does it mean for you doctor Marc Siegel he's the members are.
Fox News medical -- professor medicine NYU -- medical center in New York good morning to you doctor -- first of all the exchange is what to find that remind us what that is.
The exchange is a virtual thing it takes place on a computer like Medicare part.
And it takes you to a place where you get choices.
What health policy do you want what subsidy do you qualify for May -- you qualify for Medicaid all of that in the same place.
On line.
God in each state is supposed to set one of these exchanges -- so that if you do not have what insurance through your employer.
Or maybe -- -- private insurance you can go to this exchange here as -- that'll be obvious for the employer may say we can't cover you anymore.
And there's all eat more and more millions coming -- the market that have been investigators from these extra -- nineteen states have already said we're not going to run.
Our own exchange in our state what does that mean for.
Every day Americans living that's.
But -- -- I think the reason they're saying you're one might argue it's politics but there's also the -- of -- fiscal restraint.
Those nineteen states may be saying hey we can't afford to do this.
We may not be able for the -- these exchanges the federal government -- at that by current estimates gonna have to spend almost a billion dollars in those states.
Setting up its exchanges now for people out there with this is gonna mean is if you live in one of those nineteen states.
Come next October.
You gonna have to probably deal with an exchange that the -- set up for the states.
And the problem with -- in my opinion is that it is another level of bureaucracy because bill.
Since we don't have portability of insurance since insurance companies are state by state.
It's your state government that used to dealing with your local insurance companies not the federal government -- -- the federal government is running the exchange.
They may not be used to dealing with your -- Obama -- -- a great point so there -- seventeen states and Washington DC that say they will set -- An exchange with the federal government.
MI better off to live in one of those states so far less the what all the far rest New York states like that.
I think you are I think -- better you are what I think you're better off living in the state where the state is running the exchange rather than the federal government.
Federal government hasn't even given out the -- the plans yet of how they're gonna do the exchange.
But the states are already ramping up -- the ones that are doing it like if you go to Minnesota's website you actually see a tutorial that's terrific.
-- you have -- next October look people better start learning now.
I think you're better off living in the state that hasn't you know you do in medicine every -- I mean this is your profession that's why we have you sitting here.
And you're saying that the State's better understand their own distribution of health care.
Better than Washington by far because the insurance companies are state by state they can't go across state lines so -- -- insurance company has a problem in the state.
They go to the state government not the federal government the -- to -- to deal with these insurance companies.
I hope the people out there actually living in states where there are -- you really -- provide I mean you can put states in one category the other and that seems to be the way they are breaking down we -- waiting on two states to make a decision.
Virginia I think in Florida both of the Republican governor so.
We'll see what they say very -- when they -- sure bill there's going to be a lot of confusion and a lot of money spent don't -- America.
Doctor Mark Siegel thank you sir this -- he couldn't see you as well Alison.

The OCC thread http://roleplayerguild.com/showthrea...-of-people-OOC
The police officer opened the door, grabbed my shoulder and walked me to the house. As I stepped in I shivered, it's chilly, no, it's friggin cold. They assigned me to the room closest to the kitchen, a tear falls down my face as I stare into the cold room, with a plain mattress, and a blanket. They explain to me that if I leave the property the police will be notified. They tell me that 5 other people will be here soon, and to make myself comfortable. They did not really tell me a lot, just left me......hangin. I walked into my room, sat on my pathetic mattress, and cried a bit. Well at least I wont be here alone, I'll have 5 other people to share my story with. I beat myself up a bit. "Damn idiot" I keep yelling, crying more and more. I have 8 months of this.
~This is my first RP, bear with me.~

ODOT is currently in the process of evaluating a few pilot projects, in various levels of completion, based on the Greenroads sustainability performance metric. Greenroads was developed out of the University of Washington in consultation with CH2M HILL. The Greenroads performance metric awards points for more sustainable practices during the design and construction phases of roadway projects and awards a certification level based on the number of points earned, much like the LEED program does for buildings.

Drive project is designed to increase capacity and improve motorist safety, the existing lane configuration did not provide adequate capacity for travel demand. The area historically has a high rate of vehicle collisions with wildlife. Features of the project include a separated highway with two controlled access at either end of the four mile project. The innovative aspect, is the ODOT has installed its first ever wildlife crossings under the highway. The purpose of the wildlife crossings is to reduce and/or eliminate vehicle crashes with deer, which will hopefully protect the deer and the travelers of Oregon.
