"Or there would be a cost shift," said Julie Barnes, director of health policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center. "That means, ultimately, they might have to charge private patients more. What else can they do? They've got to meet their expenses."
Food safety
The number of foods recalled because they were bad or dangerous hit one of the highest levels in four years in the fourth quarter of 2011, according to the ExpertRECALL Index.
Listeria, botulism, E. coli, Salmonella -- deadly problems for the food supply -- have all been caught by government food inspectors. Yet even with those inspections, tens of millions of people get sick every year and more than 3,000 people die each year from food poisoning, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
An 8.2% cut would slash the budget for plant and animal health inspections by $71 million. The budget for the Food Safety and Inspection Service agency would lose more than a billion dollars from its budget. An additional $3 million would have to come out of the budget for inspectors who monitor the safety of our grain supply and stockyards. That could mean fewer inspectors -- and fewer inspections, which ultimately could mean a food supply that isn't as safe as it is now.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's work touches many health aspects of daily life. Its nurses and doctors, epidemiologists and technologists work to prevent the spread of food-borne illnesses, to stop the spread of the flu and monitor disease outbreaks, to reduce the number of hospital-acquired illnesses, to increase immunizations and to create tools to help communities protect public health, among many other health-related efforts. It would lose more than $464 million from its overall budget.
Ultimately, this cut would impact academic labs and research institutions in every single state. The National Institutes of Health funds a wide variety of medical research. It spends millions to help scientists discover the root causes and cures for childhood diseases, cancer, autism, diabetes, lupus and many other illnesses.
Spending on biomedical and health research and development was already lower than it has been in years, according to Research!America. Cuts now could have a severe, long-term impact on research, which could lead to fewer cures and therapies to fight common diseases. This department would lose more than $2.5 billion from its budget.
Food for lower-income families
The Women Infant and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program, known as WIC, helps feed families who are considered a nutritional risk because they can't afford to buy food. The program also teaches people about nutrition and provides referrals for health services.
Some 16.4% of the U.S. population is considered "food insecure," according to FeedingAmerica.org. That's more than 48 million people.
About $543 million would be taken out of this program's budget.
Separately, child nutrition programs would be cut by $4 million. Commodity Assistance would lose $5 million. Other nutrition programs would lose $11 million. And the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance program would lose $8 million.
Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program
This is a home visiting program that helps pregnant women or women with children younger than 5 who may need additional help with maternal and child health issues. It also works to prevent abuse, neglect or child injuries because of an unsafe environment in the neighborhood or home.
Studies show this program reduces crime and incidents of domestic violence. It also increases a family's economic self-sufficiency. This program would see a $30 million reduction in its budget.
Office of Lead Hazard Control and Healthy Homes
Children in at least 4 million households are still being exposed to the dangers of lead, according to the CDC. Lead poisoning, which disproportionately hurts children, can curtail nervous system development, lead to behavioral disorders and cause headaches, anemia, seizures and even death.

GammaLib is a self-contained, instrument independent, open source, multi-platform C++ library that implements all code required for high-level science analysis of astronomical gamma-ray data. GammaLib is also wrapped into a Python module.
GammaLib does not rely on any third-party software, except of HEASARC's cfitsio library that is used to implement the FITS interface. Large parts of the code treat gamma-ray observations in an abstract representation, and do neither depend on the characteristics of the employed instrument, nor on the particular formats in which data and instrument response functions are delivered. Instrument specific aspects are implemented as isolated and well defined modules that interact with the rest of the library through a common interface. This philosophy also enables the joint analysis of data from different instruments, providing a framework that allows for consistent broad-band spectral fitting or imaging.

The city of Binghamton is working to help low-income and elderly residents with their home repairs. Officials received a grant to aid the city's Housing Repair Program. Our Melissa Kakareka tells us why the funds are so important to the city.
BINGHAMTON, N.Y. -- The city of Binghamton's Housing Repair Program is receiving a boost in funding.
"We're very proud that this money is coming forward so we can do more work in this area," said Binghamton Mayor Matt Ryan.
City officials received a $600,000 grant from the state's Affordable Housing Corporation to aid the program Wednesday.
The money will help assist low-income and elderly homeowners with repair work that corrects code violations and other health and safety repairs. "A lot of the houses in the city are pretty old and this helps those homeowners who are eligible to make upgrades and improve the housing stock in general in the city," said Ryan.
The program is supported by federal funds the city receives through the HOME program which has experienced cuts over the past few years. The grant will allow the city to make up for the loss.
"We've had successive cuts to our HOME program over the years, and now another 40 percent cut this year. So obviously these funds come at a crucial time," said Ryan.
There are currently 80 projects signed up for the program. The city will be able to complete about 30 more projects than expected because of the grant

I make paintings of abandoned buildings. Long before I had heard of urban exploration, I was fascinated by defunct buildings, especially those that were historically or architecturally significant. As a teenager in the 1980s, I would get my mom to drive me to her old elementary school and high school in southeast Atlanta both of which were long-shuttered so that I could walk around the eerily silent grounds and photograph the buildings. Even though I visited these and similar Atlanta sites multiple times, I never got tired of exploring those old buildings.
Many years later, I developed an interest in abandoned sites that had suffered some sort of traumatic history, namely the derelict buildings of Milledgeville, Georgias Central State (psychiatric) Hospital. I was so struck by the hospitals sordid history of overcrowding and neglect not to mention the foreboding sensation I got while visiting those buildings that I created a series of paintings to remind (or educate) viewers about what had happened there. This process of finding a compelling subject, visiting and photographing it extensively, and then making a series of paintings to tell others about it, is the process I still use to make art.
My current series of paintings is about defunct industrial buildings and other sites in Atlanta that have been transformed by graffiti writers. I have long enjoyed looking at the colorful, intricate burners and pieces by skilled writers; and exploring the elderly, silent, decaying buildings that contain the graffiti is as exciting to me now as exploring my moms old high school was 25 years ago. The resulting paintings are for those who share my love of urban exploration, and for those who enjoy the industrial landscape but wouldnt dare set foot inside an abandoned building!

Considered by some to be one of Godard's lighter films because it is more accessible and less maverick in its approach, Band of Outsiders still offers up a fine example of the French maverick at his best, and the fact that he doesn't imitate himself should be an example of Band of Outsiders' inventiveness rather than the other way around.

Judge Rules Bradley Manning Illegally Treated, But Upholds Charge
Judge Rules Bradley Manning Illegally Treated, But Upholds Charges
Grants mere 112 days credit for 'torture'
- Beth Brogan, staff writer
A military judge on Tuesday refused to dismiss charges against whistleblower Bradley Manning, instead granting him a mere 112 days credit off any eventual sentence after finding he endured unlawful pretrial punishment during his more than three years in custody.
(Photo: Associated Press)
"She confirmed that Bradley was mistreated, and vindicated the massive protest effect that was required to stop the Marines at Quantico from torturing Bradley," Jeff Peterson of the Bradley Manning Support Network said in a release. "Yet 112 days is not nearly enough to hold the military accountable for their actions."
Manning, 25, is accused of handing over about 250,000 diplomatic cables and war logs from Afghanistan and Iraq to WikiLeaks, including video of a US military helicopter killing a dozen civilians.

Appealed from the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (June 22, 2009)
Oral argument: April 21, 2010
Wanda Krupski ("Krupski") suffered an injury as a passenger on a cruise ship owned and operated by Costa Crociere S.p.A. ("Costa Crociere"). In the United States District Court of the Southern District of Florida, her lawyer filed suit against Costa Cruise, N.V., LLC, Costa Crociere's booking agent. The parties dismissed that suit by stipulation, because the owner and operator of a cruise ship is subject to liability, not the booking agent. Krupski filed an amended complaint against Costa Crociere—the correct party. Costa Crociere filed a motion to dismiss. The district court granted the motion, finding that Krupski had not made a "mistake" within the meaning of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(c) ("Rule 15(c)") that would allow the amendment to relate back to the original filing of the complaint. The Eleventh Circuit affirmed. The Supreme Court's decision will clarify what constitutes a "mistake" within the meaning of Rule 15(c).

London Business School's latest news, awards, events and programmes
Students meet the entrepreneurs transforming Johannesburg
Last week 86 MBA students embarked on a week-long Global Business Experience (GBE) to Johannesburg, South Africa.
The theme for the week was Entrepreneurship and Economic Growth: The role of Micro-Businesses. The students worked directly with 15 micro-businesses, operating in Alexandra, a township of Johannesburg. These micro-businesses ranged from hair salons and an education centre, to an internet café.
The experience offered an opportunity to challenge the students' preconceptions about contemporary business and society and showed the role micro-entrepreneurs play in fostering growth and transformation in emerging markets. With the aim of offering practical improvements, the students presented their findings and recommendations to the micro-entrepreneurs at the end of the week.
Rajesh Chandy, Professor of Marketing, who is accompanying the students on the trip, said: "By far the most common businesspeople on earth are the micro-entrepreneurs: those who run businesses with five or fewer employees. Micro-entrepreneurs are especially common in emerging markets that are experiencing dramatic growth today. They distribute products for other companies large and small, domestic and multinational. They supply to other companies, they buy from them, and when they band together, they are formidable competitors to them. Yet the business lives of micro-entrepreneurs are poorly understood. This trip gives students an experience most business executives never receive."
The GBE is part of the MBA second year curriculum and students have the opportunity to choose from five locations around the world for a week-long learning experience. Each GBE is led by two senior faculty members from different subject areas. They are designed to be fast-paced, engaging and demanding, and to push students outside their comfort zone. At the end of the week the students will deliver a group-project after working in an unfamiliar environment with new peers.

At Christmas, Delmer never watched Christal open presents. She could hear him playing music in his room.
She learned to resent the guitar her father loved so much. She wished he would spend time with her, speak to her, seek solace in her.
When a truck backfired or Christal dropped a plate by accident, her father leaped up and went into soldier-at-war mode. Christal hated going out to eat at noisy restaurants -- everyone just stared.
The worst moments came when he picked up his shotgun and left the house for Little River, announcing to Christal and her mother, Judy, that he was going to kill himself.
As time passed, Christal forgot the daddy she'd once known.
Judy, a Pentecostal Christian, believed you had to be perfect to reach heaven and kept the family's struggles secret.
Christal pretended to the outside world that their life was normal.
Once when she was 6, she stole a neighbor's photo of a family trip to the beach. She cut the family's smiling faces out and replaced them with pictures of herself and her mom and dad. She showed the doctored photo off in class, describing for her classmates what a great time they'd had.
Leaving a war zone
Ironically, it was Delmer's trauma that enabled Christal to escape her parents' home.
Until then, every birthday had not been a celebration as much as it was a countdown to the day she'd turn 18 and be able to leave.
The federal government paid for her schooling at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. That's because by then, the Army had declared her father 100% disabled.
When Delmer returned from Vietnam in 1970, psychiatrists were just starting to recognize PTSD as an impairment. The first diagnosis for Vietnam veterans did not occur until 1980 when Christal was 2.
Veterans weren't encouraged to seek help, like they are these days. "My dad just thought he was going crazy."
As frightening as it was for Christal to leave Honaker and be alone for the first time, she felt liberated.
"I was so tired of living in a war zone," she says. "I really thought my father ruined my life."
As a girl, she had taken a razor from her mother's sewing kit and sliced her skin open. She cut herself with an ink pen and stapled her hands.
Hurting herself was a way to be close to her dad. He was in such pain, she thought, that she would be, too.
In college, she mixed anti-depressants with rum and tequila and drank alone. She wanted to numb herself like PTSD sufferers do.
She had her father's eyes -- and his behavior. Severe mood swings. Anxiety. She was hypersensitive to sounds. She stood back and skimmed the crowd in a room, looking for the quickest exit. She was private, reserved. She didn't trust people.
She told Delmer she hated him.
She went through boyfriend after boyfriend, craving a man's touch, looking for the affection her father had never shown.
She dreaded driving back home for Thanksgiving or Christmas. As she approached winding John Douglas Wayside in Abingdon and began her climb up the Virginia mountains, she had flashbacks.
She saw herself as a child wrapped tightly around Delmer's legs, trying to prevent him from going down to the river to kill himself. Or lying on her bed, curled into a fetal ball.
In college, she saw a therapist regularly and didn't speak to her father, except peripherally, for 13 years. In that time, she came to understand that her troubles were related to his.

Like many of you, I have looked long and hard for the ultimate productivity setup. Ive wasted hours reading websites, downloading junk, and fine-tuning software.
David Allen even has a chapter on people who could be called organizing groupies in Ready for Anything. I must admit -- I am guilty as charged -- but I have fun doing it!
However, I can say now say that I have achieved the ultimate setup for the pocket pc that works for me. I can say this because I have tested it for the last several weeks and it has greatly improved my productivity without annoying me. I cant say that this setup will work for you, but I believe many of the criteria I use are universal and there is a good chance that you will have wanted something similar.
What I wanted
1. Be able to view my Next Actions/Calendar Items at a glance without having to bust out my stylus
The pocket pc, the Iphone, index cards generally all lack the ability to allow you to look at your tasks and calendar events quickly and easily. I often commute on the subway or drive, and I only have one hand available when I need or have time to look at my next actions. I dont want to have to use my stylus, shuffle cards, or press ten buttons just to see my tasks. I want to see them quickly and easily.
Software used to accomplish this:
Ftouchflo - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=FTouchFlo (free)
This program is amazing and it is the core component of making the pocket pc useful and reducing its dork factor. In short, it allows you to scroll with your thumb and open up to 4 programs with special gestures. This is crucial is you are on the subway holding on to a bar and want to use your commute time to look through your actions and calendar events. If you are driving it also allows you to easily keep one hand on the wheel (If this is illegal, then I dont advocate it!).
Ftouchflo configurator - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...o+configurator (free, but optional)
Ftouchflo is an awesome program, but to tweak it, you need to edit some text files. Id rather not, so this program provides a graphical user interface to ease the job.
Calendar+ - http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10 (free)
This nifty little program allows you to customize how you view your calendar events on your home screen. Again, I dont want to have to click any buttons to see my calendar events, I just want to see them easily and quickly. This program works great and its free.
TasksPlus+ - http://www.tasksplus.szm.com/index2.htm (free)
This is a sister program to calendar program and it is absolutely essential. The pocket pc platform, by default, doesnt allow you to view your tasks on your home screen. This means you would have to press some button or bust out your stylus. This program, like Calendar+, allows numerous ways to customize how you view your tasks.
2. Be able to capture thoughts/tasks at a moments notice for input into my systems at a later time
Often a thought comes to mind while I am walking or standing in line. I want to write it down quickly. The writing program that comes with the Pocket PC sucks. While one handed typing would be nice, there is something about writing than just feels better.
Software used to accomplish this:
Phatpad - http://www.phatware.com/phatpad/index.html ($40 - quite expensive but totally worth it!)
This software is absolutely brilliant. It allows you to write as if you were writing on paper. It brings Onenote style inking to the pocket pc. In fact, I wish Microsoft would just buy this company and integrate their technology with Onenote mobile so that I could synchronize my notes .
3. Be able to manage my time and set limits
A cool time management technique I learned from 43 folders is this procrastination hack - http://www.43folders.com/2005/10/11/...tion-hack-1025. In addition to this technique there are often many things in life where I would like some quick to use timers. Examples include doing laundry, cooking, visiting friends and relatives, meetings etc While these tasks could be done by keeping time - I find that activity often distracts me from doing my work because Im always worried Ill get sucked into whatever it is that Im doing and forget to see how much time I have left.
Software used to accomplish this:
Spb Time - http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/time/?en ($15)
This program is solid and has more useful features that I could spend time mentioning. I guarantee you that you will find this program indispensable. However, the most important feature involves being able to have at your disposal several timers. You could use one for the laundry, another for time to focus, and another for making rice.
4. Be able to view my tasks, calendar items, and contacts similar to how Microsoft Outlook for the Desktop does it
Simply put - I think David Allen made Microsoft Outlook relevant again. So once you have mastered using Outlook and have purchased a pocket pc phone or pda, you become enamored with the idea of having your tasks, calendar entries, and contacts synchronized. However, you often find the way that the pocket pc presents data is ugly and doesnt match how outlook does it. Additionally, while dialing your contacts from pocket outlook is cool, it usually requires using your stylus.
Software used to accomplish this:
Pocket Informant - http://www.pocketinformant.com/produ...ocketinformant ($30)
This program accomplishes several important tasks. One, it allows me to view my tasks by category just like I can in outlook. Two, by changing the contacts screen to picture view I can, along with the help of Ftouchflo, dial contact by just using my thumb. I cant tell you how wonderful this is.
Pictures and Setup Notes
1. The Home/Today Screen
Above is just a portion of my Today screen. The beauty is that I can scroll through the entire thing without ever using my stylus or pressing a single button. All I do is move my thumb up and down the screen.
A few other things I did is remove the margins and softkey signs to give myself more viewable room for my tasks and calendar items.
Lastly, I also removed all of the Today plug-ins from my today screen except for Calendar+ and Tasksplus+. I did this because I want to maximize performance and reduce distractions.
All essential programs can be accessed using either my hardware buttons or the gestures the FTouchflo enables.
2. Phatpad
To access Phatpad, I programmed one of my hardware buttons to launch it.
As you can see, the inking is way superior to the built-in inking provided my Microsoft. Alternatively, I could use the today plug-in provided by Phatpad, its actually really good, but my reasoning is if I have to bust out my stylus I dont mind pressing a few more buttons. Plus, as I mentioned before, I want the today screen to be uncluttered and super fast.
3. Spb Time
To access this program, I set a gesture in Ftouchflo. My top 5 timers are preset and I can easily change them if I need to. This little program has been indispensable for helping me focus longer while studying mathematics and at the same time making sure I dont overcook my rice or forget my laundry.
4. Pocket Informant
While I use the today screen to see my next actions, I sometimes want to see my projects lists or other categories. This allows me to do this.
Conclusion / Notes
I hope y'all find this useful. I tried to post some more pictures, but I'm only limited to 4 on this forum. If you want to see a few more pics, you can check out this post on my blog - http://www.vesco.us/?p=113
I've learned a lot over the years reading this forum and this is my first post to give a lil'back to the community.
Have Fun!

MONTREAL — It will be a trying month for Taylor Hall, the Edmonton Oilers dynamic winger who is out of the lineup again, this time with a sprained left knee ligament.
Not only will he miss four weeks of the Oilers' season, he's losing audition time with the Canadian men's Olympic team.
Hall was injured Saturday in a knee-on-knee collision with Eric Gryba of the Ottawa Senators and subsequently was flown back to Edmonton to have an MRI.
Veteran Ryan Smyth also returned to Edmonton and is expected to be out for at least a week with a groin injury. Tyler Pitlick and Ben Eager were called up from the Oklahoma City Barons prior to the Oilers game against the Montreal Canadiens.
"It looked like a bit of an innocent, innocuous play in Ottawa. Unfortunately, it ended up being knee-on-knee and Taylor is suffering the consequences because of it," Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish said. "I don't think it was a dirty play at all, but Taylor plays a hard-driving, forceful game, and we have to try to help him find a way to stay more healthy, but when you play (that game) injuries quite often happen."
Since the Oilers selected Hall first overall in the 2010 draft, he has been clipped by a skate blade during a pre-game warm-up, a freak injury which left him with a frightening gash that required 30 stitches. He had to leave the lineup to have shoulder surgery in 2012, and his exceptional rookie season was cut short when he sustained a high ankle sprain ankle in a fight.
He's leaving the Oilers lineup now with three goals and five points in eight games, a tally that includes his two-goal night against the New York Islanders. His two goals, scored eight seconds apart, broke a 32-year-old team record set by Wayne Gretzky.
Hall had started the season at centre, stepping in for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who missed the first two regular season games just to ensure his shoulder had recovered from off-season surgery.
"It's never good to lose one of your top players, a guy who eats up a ton of minutes and is a danger every time he goes on the ice," head coach Dallas Eakins said. "Are we going to miss him? Absolutely. He's a big part of this hockey club, and when we do have success, he's right in the middle of it.
"He's one of the catalysts he's not here ... There are other guys who are going to get some extra ice, guys who have been looking for it."

Art Deco coolness
This is my second TB watch, and I love them both. This watch looks better in person, an art deco flair. The face surroundings are actually clear, see through giving it a cool look when worn.

Incredible style.....
The Santiago Watch is even more incredible when you see it in person for the first time. The pictures do not show it's style and class. Very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this style watch to all Tommy Bahama fans. This type of style of watch looks good with casual wear or dressed up for a night on the town.

Fly-half Owen Farrell helped himself to 20 points but it was only once Ireland prop Mike Ross departed that England were able to turn the screw up front.
A closely-fought 9-6 first half gave way to a one-sided second 40 minutes with the Twickenham crowd baying for blood at every scrum.
Replacement Ben Youngs put the gloss on the scoreline with a 74th minute try from a quickly-taken tap penalty as interim head coach Stuart Lancaster finished his first RBS 6 Nations with a credible four wins.
By the time the teams ran out for the anthems, England knew their 2011 RBS 6 Nations title had been wrested off them by Wales' Grand Slam triumph.
In an ominous sign of things to come, England won a penalty from the first scrum in the second minute allowing Farrell to open his account.
It was Ireland who threatened first through Keith Earls' break down the left but he was brilliantly hauled down by Ben Foden before being turned over.
In another Ireland attack down the same flank, Lee Dickson made a mess of a bouncing ball and when England did clear the lines, full-back Rob Kearney gathered and saw his audacious drop goal came off the back of the post.
But shortly afterwards Foden spilt a high ball and centre Brad Barritt was caught offside allowing Jonathan Sexton to draw Ireland level.
England continued to rely on their set-piece to do the damage and forced Ireland to concede two further penalties at the scrum, the second of which Farrell used to restore his lead.
With both sides' defences coming out on top, it was little surprise that the next score came from another England scrum on 36 minutes as Farrell made it 9-3.
The final say in the half went to his opposite number as Sexton capitalised on Donnacha Ryan's good work to leave the visitors three points adrift at the interval.
The pattern of the first half of knock-ons and English scrum dominance was repeated in the second as flanker Tom Croft got clear of the Irish defence only to butcher his pass at the crucial moment.
From the knock-on, Ireland's scrum disintegrated bringing the inevitable infringement allowing Farrell to knock over his fourth penalty but Sexton immediately responded when the otherwise impressive Ben Morgan was caught in possession.
But as long as England's front row continued to dominate their opponents, the hosts always had a formidable weapon they could rely on and there was a sense of inevitability that they would eventually be awarded a penalty try.
That duly materialised in the 58th minute as the green pack were sent shuntering backwards - Farrell adding the conversion to make it 19-9.
Ireland seemed demoralised by their inferiority up front as they coughed up another penalty on 65 minutes reversing at a rate of knots allowing Farrell to apply further punishment with the boot.
But the visitors showed they were not spent as an attacking force as Earls led a surge downfield but Tomas O'Leary's crossfield kick was just out of the reach of Jamie Heaslip.
Irish heads were already dropping by the time England made sure of the victory with six minutes to go. Again Ireland were penalised at the scrum but as opposed to resetting or going for the posts, Youngs opted to take a tap and Ireland couldn't react quick enough to stop him going over.
Farrell blotted his copybook somewhat with a missed conversion but he rounded off England's day with a 78th minute penalty to give the RFU plenty to ponder as they consider whether Lancaster should remain as permanent head coach.

Coal mining in Ohio began around 1800 and during its first 150 years, was an unregulated industry.
Until the time of World War I, coal mining in Ohio was conducted almost exclusively underground and largely by manual labor.
These underground mining operations gained access to coal seams by vertical mine shafts of up to 200 feet deep, by horizontal mine entries (drift entries) cut into hillsides at the coal elevation, or by sloping tunnels angling downward from the ground surface. Early underground mines were small, discontinuous, and poorly mapped.
To maximize coal production, roof support was usually minimal. Further, coal pillars were often removed upon abandonment of the mines, making them highly prone to later subsidence.
With the advent of large, efficient excavating equipment, new drilling techniques, and newly developed explosives in the mining industry around World War II large earthmoving operations became possible. Surface mining operations thus became an economic alternative to underground mining. Surface mining involves excavation of all of the rock and soil (overburden) above the desired coal seam, exposing the coal seam at the surface. The excavated rock and soil, known as "mine spoil," is placed in piles away from the excavation site. The exposed coal is removed in a way that includes as little non-coal rock as possible.
A very efficient recovery system of underground coal mining, known as longwall mining, was introduced into Ohio due to the development of automated mining equipment. The technique involves total removal of large blocks of coal which allows the overburden to collapse or subside in a controlled and predictable manner. This technique has significantly increased productivity and reduced costs so that underground mining can remain competitive with surface mining. It has the added benefit of allowing mitigation of subsidence impacts to occur while the mining company is still operating in the vicinity, rather than years after mining is complete.

I am unplugging a little bit this weekend so I can spend some time with an amazing group of middle school and high school students during a three day retreat. I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with a different group of middle school girls every year. It is going to be so much fun! So, I won't be by my computer until Sunday afternoon, but here's what I have planned this weekend...
- When I meet my group of girls tonight, I plan on wearing the Hello sweater I bought myself after Christmas. Who needs "Hello! My name is..." stickers when you have a sweater like this one! ;)
- I need to pack my notebook and planner for writing notes and keeping up with the schedule this weekend. Also, I think I will pack some polish in case my group wants to paint each other's nails at night.
- Even though I will be unplugged from social media, I expect to take a lot of pictures on my phone during the different activities. (I got my new iPhone case from Society6.)
- I will have some catching up to do on Sunday afternoon so there will be lots of knitting, crochet, and craft time as I prepare for upcoming projects.
- Lastly, (well, actually first) I had breakfast with my best friends this morning before preparing for a fun couple of days.
That's about it! I look forward to a refreshing weekend free of distractions as I get ready for a new week.
I hope you have a great weekend! What do you have planned?

On the Game
"We didn't rotate. Deron Williams is a tough cover, so we wanted to get it out of his hands to someone else. We did a better job in the second half at that. We didn't execute down the stretch, we had to rotate defensively. We didn't get to Farmar. We missed too many free throws and things like that beat us. We turned the ball over too much in the first half and gave the Nets too much of a lead. We have to grind it back. I'm happy with the way the guys fought, it's frustrating to put ourselves in that position and not be able to execute when we needed to. It's frustrating. We didn't have the intensity early. We're always going to have to do a better job at that. We fought back and gave ourselves an opportunity. When you put yourselves in those situations, which we have a lot, sometimes you win and sometimes you don't. It's a tough loss for us, but we have to bounce back for San Antonio."
Guard Chris Paul
On the defense for the winning shot
"I haven't seen it. The tough thing is the play before that I almost had the steal, the ball went of my foot, they said it was an intentional kick ball, but if the ball wouldn't have went out there it might have been completely different. Jordan Farmar made a huge shot."
On playing close games
"You play with fire that much, at some point you are going to get burnt. This has been the story of our season, playing close games like this, but finding ways to win at the end. I guess if you play enough of them, eventually you're gonna lose some of them, and that's what happened tonight."
On the inconsistency on the road and the chemistry of the team
"We're trying to find it, us along with a lot of other teams. We gotta come out with more intensity, more energy, and all that stuff starts with me. We gotta get ourselves off to better starts because we're always playing from behind."
Forward Blake Griffin
On the team finding consistency
"It's gotta be everything. We gotta come out in the first and not put ourselves in that position. It seems like we always have to fight back, we're always trying to make a push at the end and you can't play like that. We have scorers, we have shooters, and our offense hasn't really been a huge problem. We're gonna have off-nights but for us our defense really gets us easy shots."
On how tough it is on the road to make a comeback
"It is tough. We've done it though. But we don't want to be in that position, and we shouldn't be in that position, so we gotta do a better job."
On dealing with being a team that other teams target
"We didn't have a target on our backs last year at all. We would just come in and play. We didn't have expectations, but we had expectations for ourselves. We're not worried about the expectations that are floating around, so we just gotta do a better job and have more of a sense of urgency in the first half and not get in a hole like that."

When you're the defending Western Conference champion and repeat President's Trophy winner and you lose to the eighth seed in five games in the first round, you've got plenty of explaining to do. And in a market that loves to make mountains out of molehills, we've got an extended summer to pick apart this Canuck corpse.
There will be the obvious excuses like the Duncan Keith elbow late in the regular season that forced Daniel Sedin to the sidelines for the first three games of the playoffs. Though really, this is an adversity an elite team should be able to overcome. And in the end, it's the first significant injury to a front line player in many a post season for a franchise that has been remarkably fortunate in that regard.
And what about the Sedins? To win, you need your best players to be your best players or so the adage goes. Except the Sedins were the Canucks' best players in this series, looking more inspired than they ever have, seemingly aware that the rest of the team had checked out.
The magnet for most criticism in this market usually falls on the combustible Roberto Luongo. But this time around, he was the team's best player in game 1 before getting relieved by Cory Schneider after a game 2 performance where he was sold out by his teammates, busy practicing their fire drill. So even Bobby Blue gets a free pass this time around though it may not be enough to save him his job in this market.
And, of course, there will be mention of the dreaded hangover from last season. But really, we're not buying that. It's not like the Canucks went pedal to the metal during the regular season. In fact, despite their President's Trophy win, there were not many 60 minute efforts this season (unless you count the goaltenders). Elite teams do return to the Stanley Cup Final. It does happen. Look at Pittsburgh or Detroit in recent years.
And the uneducated will reference the President's Trophy curse - after all, three of the last four winners have been bounced in the first round. But that is simply loser talk. There is no curse. Bottom seeded teams don't win the Cup. Ever. Top seeded teams usually do. There is never a guarantee, but winning in the playoffs correlates near perfectly with winning in the regular season. It's fact.
In the end, what cost this team the series was ridiculously poor defensive coverage (witness the Kings' first goal last night) and an inability to score either at even strength or with the man advantage. And remarkably, these were not recent developments, but problems that had plagued the team for good portions of this regular season (and late in last season's playoff drive). They were masked by superior goaltending, from both Luongo and Schneider, and an incredibly easy divisional schedule.
But come playoff time, these are deficits that will cost you your season in short order. And they certainly did.
There is no doubt that the moves made during the season by general manager Mike Gillis seemed to water down the offense without any measurable increase in size and toughness.
David Booth has speed to burn and a willingness to drive to the net (i.e., he's no Mason Raymond), but rarely completes a pass and, more importantly, has little idea what to do when he doesn't have the puck. While speed is the essence of the modern NHL, hockey smarts are close behind and Booth's hockey IQ is borderline retarded. Meanwhile, the cagey Mikael Samuelsson has four points in five games for a Florida team that is on the verge of advancing to the next round. The curse of Dale Tallon continues.
Certainly, the jury on the Cody Hodgson trade is still out, but the decision for a Cup contending team to trade away a contributing asset for one that simply may have potential was, and remains, mind boggling. Hodgson was the Canucks' most efficient five-on-five scorer and held down the second unit power play, while Zack Kassian could only play his way to the press box.
It is becoming clear that Ryan Kesler's brilliant performance versus Nashville last playoff was simply an aberration. Over the last two playoffs, excluding the Nashville series, he has tallied two goals and eleven assists in twenty four games - remarkably poor production from your second line centre and the biggest single reason why this team struggled so mightily to score.
Up front, the Canucks' top wingers are players with a remarkably similar skill set - speedy forwards with reasonable grit and the occasional scoring touch, but none are physically intimidating and there is a serious lack of play making ability. Indeed, the playoff performances from the likes of Alex Burrows, David Booth, Jannik Hansen and Mason Raymond featured plenty of flash and dash, but no pucks in the net.
Overall, the Canucks' defense had a pretty miserable season. Ironically, the best of the bunch, Dan Hamhuis, wore the goat horns on the Kings' winner last night (and for all you homers calling for a penalty on that play, give your head a shake).
Kevin Bieksa was predictably boneheaded at points this season (and post season), while Alex Edler suffered a serious case of the playoff yips. By the post-season, Sami Salo looked every bit of his 37 years. And Keith Ballard's concussed head is still spinning and his game still reeling after inexplicably rocketing up the depth chart at playoff time.
If we're looking for one person for which to aim the blame at, we're looking at Mike Gillis. In short, he seemed to overrate the depth of his defense and his moves to bolster the team's size and toughness up front seemed to cause an identity crisis for his team down the stretch. Gone was the team with the high tempo attacking style and in its place was a squad that was prone to running around in their own end while struggling to simply muster long distance scoring chances on an elite goalie. The intent was to become a team that was comfortable winning 1-0 or 2-1 games. They got the 1-0 and 2-1 games, but they didn't win. And the players who were to add a physical presence up front (notably Byron Bitz and Zack Kassian) rarely saw the ice.
We've often been critical of Alain Vigneault around here and you'd think he should get some of the blame this time around, too. And he should, but other than the bizarre decision to play David Booth, for the first time all season, with the Sedins come playoff time, it's hard to find specific fault with any of his coaching moves. Though there is no question that his teams often lack killer instinct and desperate play for desperate times. When the playoffs opened with two losses at home, the Canucks clearly weren't as ready to play as were the Kings. And when they ended, the same was true (witness last night's third period and overtime). Alain Vigneault's elimination game record is now a poor eight wins versus twelve losses.
So there you go, plenty to ruminate on as we begin yet another summer of discontent. Stay tuned for more.

Comments about Dimplex Winston White Electric Fireplace Mantel Package - DFP26-1109W:
I use this fireplace mostly for ambiance, but recently tried out the heat.... It was perfect for my small beach cottage on the ocean. The heat takes the edge off on a chilly foggy day. I would recommend this product to everyone. Well built and BEAUTIFUL. It was simple to assemble (10 minutes max) and then just plug it in, decorate the mantle and wait for all the oohs and ahhhs.

Beautiful Fireplace
By Cooptastic
from Uxbridge, Ontario
I love the look and quality of this fireplace. Price was steep, but you get what you pay for. I'm very happy with the this purchase. The only negative was that we would have expected that the firebox would be attached, with hardware, into the mantel, but it isn't. It sits in the mantel, unsecured, although it's heavy enough not to be a real concern. Overall, a great addition to our recently renovated family room.

Folks, I notice that we have many excellent writers here on the board, some professional, some not. We would like to ramp up our book reviews, and thought maybe some of you would like the chance. While we can't pay for reviews (hey, we're a free site!), you will get to keep the book you review, plus a byline and short bio on the review. If you have reviewed for CWi or other media outlets before, and are interested in any of the below books, you can reply to this thread or send an e-mail to CWi. If you're a first-time author, send a sample review of any book of your choice, just so we can gauge your ability. The drawback to this is we need very quick turn-around time (2-3 weeks). To see previously published reviews, check here. The following titles are available now: "The Civil War as a Theological Crisis" by Mark Noll. (TAKEN) "The Shenandoah Valley Campaign of 1864" edited by Gary Gallagher "Words For The Hour: A New Anthology of American Civil War Poetry" edited by Faith Barrett "The Battle of Hampton Roads" edited by Harold Holzer (TAKEN) "Struggle for a Vast Future" edited by Aaron Sheehan-Dean "The Civil War: A Concise Account by a Noted Sothern Historian" by Grady McWhiney We are also always interested in Civil War related articles, editorials, etc. Query to CWi.

Javal, although I cannot take on any more assignments at this time, I will continue to repost copies of my FLS reviews on the Message Board. I don't think they can be reprinted on your site "officially", but I am more than happy to continue sharing them with your members. I am looking forward to reading these upcoming reviews. |

Albany City Manager James Taylor says city staff is discussing short and long term goals for a preliminary list of priorities the city is developing for 2012
ALBANY, GA -- The city is working on a list of their priorities for Albany in 2012. Their preliminary list rates "Safe Community" as number one followed by "Economic Prosperity" and "Marketing the City of Albany for the Future."
Some citizens say the priorities should be ranked differently.
Keta Allen has lived in Albany for 20 years, and says from what he's witnessed through the years, tackling crime starts with repairing the economy.
"If a suspect was nabbed and asked why did he commit himself to the crime you'll find out for the most part it is economics," says Allen.
Business owner Patrick Jenkins says the order should rank marketing at the top of the list; he says marketing will lead to economic development.
"When you bring economic development you have a natural tendency for crime to decrease. But I definitely think crime should remain a priority," says Jenkins.
Allen says it won't be a focus on just one priority at a time but a collaborative effort of all of them to move the city forward in 2012.
"It's hard to say crime is where we need to study, education is also where we need to study. It's going to take a combination that's going to help make this situation work," says Allen. "You got the educators, the institutions of higher learning that must encourage those who graduate to remain here to install and place a business whether it's going to be that one person operation and or that person with affiliates or hired employees."
"Infrastructure Development," "Leadership and Workforce Development" and "Social Prosperity" are at the end of the city's preliminary priorities list for 2012, which features six priorities.
City Manager James Taylor says the city's priorities list is a work in progress; city staff is working to define the priorities, identify the long and short term activities necessary to achieve them and measures of success associated with these priorities. He says it will likely be several more weeks before city officials are prepared to send the list to the commission for final approval.

As good as other products by Camelbak, etc. Small size is ideal for a number of hydration systems that I have including Karrimor and Camelbak. Drinking straw is good length and essy to use no matter where the bladder is styored.

Another good purchase. Fits inside my new daypack really well. It's really easy to use and I am looking forward to longer walks. It is also transferable to my smaller back pack that I use for mountain biking.

I have tried it a few times now and found it very useful although on one occasion it leaked and I ended up with soggy clothes. I much prefer it to carrying a water bottle.

I use it when i go on fieldtrips (few hours outdoors). It's not to heavy and is enough water to keep me going but i would invest in a larger one for longer outdoor trips.
