Sandel SN4500 now equipped with WAAS data
Sandel Avionics is adding new WAAS approach annunciations to its 4-ATI electronic primary navigation display, the SN4500, with a software update available next month. The Vista, Calif. manufacturer of plug-and-play EFIS replacements for legacy electromechanical attitude-director and horizontal situation indicators said the SN4500 will then annunciate the type of WAAS approach that is armed.
Annunciations include LPV (lateral precision, vertical guidance), LP (lateral precision), LVnav (lateral navigation with vertical guidance) and Lnav (lateral navigation ) in addition to the display of GPS/WAAS lateral and vertical deviation with GPS integrity monitoring annunciation already on the SN4500.
Jerry Henry, Sandel director of sales, said, "More and more business jet owners are inquiring about updating their FMS for WAAS approaches, and many installations will require additional equipment to show GPS integrity and WAAS approach type annunciations. With the SN4500 they can upgrade a legacy electromechanical HSI and save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by not having to install a remote annunciator panel."

Latin Infrastructure Index 2014: Addressing the deficit
The region made steady progress in addressing its infrastructure deficit, but more needs to be done.
Our index evaluates the easiest places to start and grow a business in Latin America
Read LBC's predictions on what will happen in the region this year.
The region ranks fourth globally for human capital development.
Panama, Paraguay, and Peru will be the region's growth champions for the near future. Brazil should outperform Mexico.
In an exclusive interview with LBC, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State José W. Fernandez discussed why this is an exciting time for U.S.-Latin American trade.
The U.S. beverage company places highly in the nine surveyed countries of Latin America – with Peru an interesting exception.
Nokia continues to see steep declines in revenues.
With the publication of the Top 50 Businesswomen, LBC explores what's necessary for women to make it to the top in Latin America.
The Andean country saw bilateral trade up 19.4 percent in the first half of this year.
Brazilian banks suffer amid slow economic growth, but an election year in Venezuela helps drive up that country's bank's assets and net incomes.
The Southern Cone and Panama top most categories in our index. Cuba ranks better than many Central American countries in internet and PC penetration.
Our list of Latin America's top trading partners shows declines in trade with East Asia, but growth with India and Europe.
While smaller markets saw growth, trade with the region's major economies saw declines.
LBC consults with two experts about what the tapering of QE will mean for the region.
Trade with China is reaching more normal rates of yearly growth; Colombia and Costa Rica are this year's success stories.
Peru and the Dominican Republic jumped on LBC's FDI Index. Chile in the lead this year.
IMF report predicts modest growth, and urges the region's economies to lay the groundwork for long-term, sustainable development.
Remittances were largely flat year-over-year in 2012 due to a sluggish Spanish economy.
Haiti, Venezuela, and Honduras top our index for the second year as the most dangerous countries in the Americas.
Albeit the cooling-off of Latin America's GDP growth in 2012, the region gained dynamism as destination for products sourced from the beleaguered euro-zone. According to Eurostat figures,
Latin Business Chronicle interviewed Carlos Raúl Yepes, Bancolombia's CEO. The bank will not venture outside Central America and the northern tip of South America, but it will continue to look for opportunities in banking and other financial services.
Students with limited access to education in Latin America sometimes fail to develop cognitive skills needed for success. Latin Education Index shows how Guatemala and Haiti lag in this area.
The best and worst countries in Latin America when it comes to crime costs for companies.
Twitter, Starbucks, Colombia, Sao Paulo and Aston Martin are the key topics of this week's TradeTalk.
Development of shopping centers continues in Brazil, Colombia and Peru despite the crisis.
Panama has Latin America's highest foreign direct investment level compared to its economy.
An open business environment and little corruption have made El Salvador one of Latin America's most attractive places for business.
The FMLN wins the presidency in El Salvador, but it's no mandate for revolutionary change such as populism and confiscations.
El Salvador is showing Latin America how economic freedom can pave the way for development.
Digicel is hoping to copy its Caribbean telecom success to Panama, El Salvador and Honduras.
Swedish-owned Millicom is carving out a profitable niche in Latin America's wireless sector.
El Salvador and Panama are the big winners in Latin American tourism. Bolivia and Brazil are the top losers.
CAFTA faces 2007 with the likely implementation in two more countries and the start of free trade talks with the European Union.
Latin America is setting a new record in international arrivals, led by Central America. But major markets like Mexico, Brazil and Argentina are also seeing healthy growth.
The EU still has to wait for the big prize - a free trade agreement with Mercosur, but in the interim Central America and parts of the Andean Community are ready.
Remittances to Latin America set a new record last year. Mexico is the top recipient in total value, while Honduras is the top recipient as measured in percent of GDP. But future remittances may be threatened by US immigration reforms and proposed taxes by several US states.
The European Union posted strong trade growth with Latin America last year, led by Venezuela and Mexico. But future EU relations with the region will depend on expanding free trade agreements.
DR-CAFTA countries have several advantages, including close proximity to the region's major export market and relatively inexpensive labor. But challenges include weak public structures and low access to capital.
Latin American countries that dollarize can double their trade with other dollar economies and expand GDP, experts say. But some economists warn that dollarization won't work for all countries in the region.
As the U.S. Congress approves CAFTA, U.S. trade with the pact's countries - already up - is expected to increase substantially. Likewise, the CAFTAeconomies should expand as a result.
Latin America's inflation will fall to its lowest rate in more than 25 years, while the region is set to reach its fourth consecutive year of economic growth. Chile will grow most, El Salvador the least.
Year over year trade with China is slowing, but there are still some regional success stories.
How Miami is becoming a hub for innovation.
World Bank economist Augusto de la Torre warns it might be, but that the region has built a "better immune system" to absorb international shocks.
Venezuela has replaced Haiti as the most dangerous country in Latin America in this year's Security Index.
Increased difficulty in hiring new employees was the main factor in the declines.
Despite improvements to ease of importing and exporting, Mexico dropped in the ranking.
Chile is the region's only large economy to make the top 10. Mexico also shines.
Shipments can now be easily processed in Latin America and the Caribbean through a user-friendly online tool from FedEx Express
LBC's statistics on U.S.-Latin Trade evidence the strength of the Mexico-U.S. trade relationship, and that trade with Venezuela has continued to fall.
A panel of experts agree female empowerment, entrepreneurship, and physical activity are the key factors in promoting growth
LBC looks at what to expect in the two countries after recent elections.
After years of trade surpluses, Latin America now imports more from Europe than it sends back. Trade volumes fell 5.5 percent over 2012.
Traditionally, donors had limited information to make difficult giving decisions. New trends in the way social cause organizations measure their impact is now helping donors get more "bang for the buck."
Helping cities to finance infrastructure is a major challenge
FATCA will affect how Latin America's wealthiest invest, say prominent bankers.
Both countries are involved in tight elections, and will most likely go to a run-off, say analysts.
LBC's latest Latin Tourism Index shows Peru experienced the strongest y.o.y. growth in tourist arrivals in 2013.

I am very passionate about healthy eating and cooking. I am a Bauman College certified healthy eating coach and have taken Natural Chef classes. I created a blog to share recipes, healthy tips, and the healing properties of food in 2008. Recently I decided it was time for the blog to evolve, since I do more than eat. Now you can find me blogging at Mince and Type where design and food meet. I take all my own food photographs as well.

Mystery of East Yorkshire 'loud explosion' deepens as Met Office says satellite images rule out thunder
Posted: January 10, 2014|
By James Burton
WEATHER experts have ruled out a thunderclap as the reason for a loud bang that woke people up in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Dozens of people from Hull to Withernsea reported hearing the noise rumble the skies over East Yorkshire at about 3.30am.
Others heard the sound as far away as Cleethorpes and Derby with many believing a thunderclap was to blame.
However, on Thursday night, the Met Office said there was no storm over East Yorkshire, Derbyshire or North-East Lincolnshire at the time the noise startled people from their sleep.

A Met Office spokeswoman studied satellite images from around the time the bang was reported and said there was nothing to indicate what had caused it.
She said: "Certainly, on satellite, there are plenty of clouds around – that's indicative, though, of the rain.
"To be fair, I can't see anything that would cause a loud bang. I can't really see any lightning strikes in the area either. The satellites show cloud but no evidence of thunder."
Whatever the cause of the noise, scores of people across East Yorkshire took to social media sites to report the loud bang.
Writing on the Mail's Facebook page, Alan Key said the noise "woke us up and scared us to death. People say it was thunder but, to me, it sounded more like an explosion."
Friends in Beverley and west Hull told Mr Key they had also heard the sound. Karen Holdstock, who lives in the Greatfield estate, said it woke her too.
Martin Hardcastle said it sounded like "amazingly loud thunder" at his house in Withernsea and Ruth Clarkson reported it in Patrington.
Michelle Ketley posted saying she was frightened by how sudden it was.
She wrote: "I've been thinking about it all morning. I was shaking when it woke me up and I'm not scared of thunder at all. It was very bizarre."
People also reported the bang on social networking site Twitter.
Sharing her experience with a friend, Corrine in Derby tweeted: "I think it was just the one time but it was unreal. Never heard anything like it in my life."
Tony Hamilton took to Twitter after the noise shook him awake at his home in Cleethorpes.
He said: "That's why I'm awake at this silly hour. Heard something that sounded like a bang."
With the Met Office ruling out thunder, speculation grew that the noise was a sonic boom or was connected to a meteor.
Search and rescue crews based at Leconfield, near Beverley, also ruled out thunder as a cause of the bang.
SAC Chris Wiles, of the search and rescue squadron, said no significant weather problems were flagged up during the early morning briefing, when crews are warned about any adverse flying conditions.
He said: "We heard nothing from our side. There was no mention of thunder.
"The weather was definitely overcast and raining a lot but there were no reports of thunder.
"We just thought they were rain clouds."

HELP! I'm having a face crisis!
you should go to the dr today
you should go to the dr today
(20) Comments
It sounds like a bug bite perhaps... or did you eat something strange or come into contact with anything out of the ordinary? I would call your Dr ASAP. Walk-in and ask if you can see anyone even if its ER only. I've had eye trouble where I had to go to the ER, they took care of it right away. Does your local hospital have a hotline? Sometimes they have phone numbers where you can talk to an RN and describe what's happening and they can suggest some things you can do to take care of it until you see a Dr.
Hope ur eye get's better Sam! That sucks!
yes....do you have a manager there? you need to seee somebody...it might be a stye or some other type of infection...and if so you need antibiotics sooner than later...
Actually to me it sounds like a STYE. Which is like an eye pimple! I have gotten one before and its from like makeup and stuff getting trapped...the best thing to so (sounds horrible) but as you feel it coming on take out contacts and don't wear for couple of days and WASH out your eye...with like SOAP! Since its already swollen you just have to let it ride out, but they have this STYE medicine at the pharmacy OTC thats like 8 bucks but takes away the pain. As for the swelling try putting ice on it as much as you can stand it...sorry girl those things are not fun! But mine went away to a not so noticeble point in a couple of days!
Try to WEBMD Stye and see what they say!
Oh it could be a stye! You see a regular doctor, if you need a specialist he'll refer you but you're not going to the glasses guy! He deals with vision, not eye-area reactions. If its a stye there is over the counter medicine, have hope!
Yay! My B-Party is tommorow too! Hopefully you can get this taken care of!
Yes! Do you know what the girls have in store for you? I'm sure you'll have a blast no matter what!
Haha that sounds like its gonna be fun! I like the suck for a buck idea!
I hope you have a BLAST!!!!
DOCTOR that sounds bad. I dont know what could be wrong? I really think you should go in, what if this could compromise your vision!! A Bachelorette party is not nearly as important as your eye sight. Take care of it before it becomes too late!
I'm glad you can go see the doctor! Good luck!!
yeah!!! Hope everything goes well!
same thing happened to fh 2 weeks ago - turned out he had a sinus infection!
he couldnt even open one eye
hope youre better soon =)
Sam....are you allowed to drink on your antibiotics??
I think when you drink while taking antibiotics it defeats the effect of the antibiotic. Not sure how this would work out with eyedrops though.
def call your dr Sam...just in case!
My poor friend always got something like you described after 2 years of this stuff (off and on) - hers was all stress related. It would start as a small bump under her eye, then another bump appeared a little close to it and then soon those 2 bumps formed one big one!! Poor girl was popped bennies like they were pez!!
Glad to hear everything is good and u went to the drs!
warm tea bag compressions can usually help too with a sty if u like to home medicate! (but anti-bi eye drops of course are better!) Have fun at ur b party!!!
Glad you are getting it taken care of!
Staph or Sty... Beet Juice and Acidophlus!!!! Lots of Beet Juice. When the liver is stressed then it creates a way to release or cannot fight off normal staph that is everywhere all the time. When our immunity's are up then we cam fight these things off. Lots of Beet Juice, avoid coffee and sugar... Relax and you will heal up quickly
if it applies..
use a 2nd form of protection if you are on the pill as antibiotics make it less effective. and do so for up to a week AFTER you stop taking the whole cycle of antibiotics.

#2, Nigeria is no longer a British colony. Britain must be invited to assist by Nigeria--just as Bush could not rush assistance to Louisiana without the invitation of Governor Blanco. FTA:A spokeswoman for the Foreign Office said: "If we can provide practical assistance we stand ready to do so. We are discussing how we might help with various parts of the Nigerian government and security services."Officials declined to say what British help might include. Britain has spent millions of pounds on military aid to the country in recent years, including sending troops to training Nigerian forces to secure oil fields and fight terrorism.Taking out Boko Haram involves invitations from the countries in which the terrorist group operates. The host country will be "assisted" and in charge of any operation. No doubt discussions center around who does what and how.

Since the start of the programme in 2008, the original EMMS participants have already achieved a score of 76% in carbon management proficiency and reduced combined Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 19.4%. Many participants have increased the number of alternative fuel / fuel capable vehicles they use, often piloting new models. The EMMS programme has also become much more global in its reach. Five new participants have joined us, including two from Africa (South African Post Office and Nigerian Postal Service) and one from South America (Empresa Brasileira de Correios e Telégrafos); this brings the total to 25 across five continents.
Having made significant progress with carbon emissions in only a few years and with further reductions anticipated, the group is now keen to expand the programme into other areas, such as waste management and sustainable procurement. This spirit of continuous improvement keeps IPC and the participants firmly focused on the advances that can be made in the future.

Re: Official WWE 13 Thread
I am loving Universe mode!
I've got RAW IS WAR on Monday and Smackdown on Friday. Raw has most of the AE guys and SD has all the modern guys (who weren't a part of the AE).
My champions are;
WWF Title: Stone Cold
IC Title: Chris Jericho
AE Tag: Edge & Christian
World Title: Wade Barrett
US Title: The Miz
Tag: Ziggler & Swagger
I've also got some great storylines on the go all through the card.
- Punk won MITB and began a fued with Lesnar.
- Lesnar lost the title to Barrett in a Scramble at NOC.
- The following week, Barrett attacked Lesnar before Brock vs Punk.
- Punk won the match, but was hit with the title belt by Barrett after the match
- Barrett snuck up on Lesnar before their match the week after and attacked him. Wade won and assaulted Brock with a chair after the match ended.
- The following week there was a triple threat between the three men. As soon as the match started, Punk teamed up with Lesnar to take Barrett out. Lesnar won after pinning Punk.
- Vader assaulted S2H before their match on Raw and was going to attack him with a chair after it, but Edge made the save.
- As Edge is making his entrance to face Mark Henry, Vader attacks him on the ramp and feeds him to Henry.
- FCA match set the following week between Edge & Vader. Edge sprints down the ramp and launches a beatdown on Vader before the bell could ring. Edge won the match after spearing Vader through the barricade.
- DX vs Acolytes is set for RAW. Shamrock and Paul Wight attack Bradshaw and Faarooq before the match could begin and replace them, but lose.
- DX vs Shamrock & Wight the following week, but Shamrock and Wight attack DX on the ramp and then use the steel steps to get DQ'd.
- Just about to start on the rematch now...
There's also a budding X-Pac and Jericho rivalry for the Ic title

Swiss T Peach uses the same great combination of black tea and rose hip/hibiscus that the lemon flavored tea uses, but this time it has been combined with peach juice and flavoring. The resulting beverage has a very strong peach flavor. It is good, but certainly not good enough to receive our highest marks. If the peach flavor were toned down, this tea would be much better.

[trigger warning: drugs and drug use]
Our upstairs neighbor is really lovely, and gave us some weed,
and I left it on the windowsill, on top of the rolling paper he gave us.
And then I got high with our next door neighbors, and upstairs neighbors, so I left Mara to go do dishes, and whatnot, as I will make dinner, and they will do dishes, and that's just how it works,
So I was out in the backyard, high as balls, just sitting there, while they cleaned. And then they put me to bed, still high as balls. When I woke up in the morning, I remembered the weed, and went to go put it away. When I got to the kitchen, it wasn't there. So I called back to the bedroom, "Mara, where's the weed?"
"What weed?"
"The weed the neighbor gave to us?"
"You smoked it?"
"No, I didn't, I left it on the windowsill."
"What windowsill?"
"The one in the kitchen."
"On top of a rolling paper, in the kitchen!"
"Oh my god,"
"I thought it was kale!"
"You thought the weed was kale?!"
"I'm so sorry!"
"So you put it in the compost?"
"Oh my god. It was on top of a rolling paper!"
"Well, we're moving, there are papers everywhere!"
"It's a big dry ball. And it smells. And it was on a rolling paper!!!!!!!!"
So I go open the compost, and the weed had soaked up moisture from the rice in there,
and oh my god
the smell.
Good lord.

If you were close enough to see the grain in the floor they'll be installing in Texas Stadium for the 2010 NBA All Star Game, you'd also see it on these sneakers. Here's a detailed up-close look at the Nike Air Max LeBron VII ASG edition. Notable for its blue raspberry colourway and aforementioned woodgrain, this is sure to be one of the most highly sought-after AML7s to date.

We met in Iowa, I am the Libertarian Candidate for Governor. A firestorm has erupted here when I was excluded from IA ""Public" TV debates. Of course the "objective" criteria is used to exclude third party candidates that are a threat--not those who aren't, as evidenced by the random application of the criteria. You discuss biased media, and I could use your help exposing this. Supporters have burned up IPTV phone lines and a lawyer has jumped into the fray, but we are not getting national media attention. This is of general interest because the real voter fraud happening in America is not a few dead guys voting Democratic--it is the media preselecting who wins and loses, and claiming to be "fair".

W.C. Heinz's "Death of a Racehorse" owes none of its fame to nostalgia. Written in one hour, in one draft, on a manual typewriter, on deadline, the 1949 classic is hailed by many in the industry as quite possibly the perfect story. Jeff MacGregor called it "the Gettysburg Address sportswriting. A run of words so slender and moving that nothing can be added or taken from it."

It would be neat if you could decide what movie to watch based on its colour palette.
Here is the color palette of The Graduate. In other words, "every frame in a movie compressed into a line, giving an idea of the colour palette used by the filmmakers."
We've got an interview coming up this week with Dustin Hoffman. He'll talk a bit about The Graduate, but not about its color palette. Which is why we thought it urgent and important to share with you here.

I was alerted to the fact that this exists yesterday: Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas. Early Henson holiday classic - highly recommend.
Singer Carla Morrison has already enchanted audiences in her native Mexico with her sweet, timeless voice and unabashedly lovelorn lyrics. Watch her give a special performance at The High Line, an elevated park in New York City.
Everything about this is so pretty.
Below the cut is a collection of screencaps taken from the series that show off the furnishings and details of 221B Baker Street, compiled to help a follower in zir task of home-decorating, domestic flatmate style.
I'm finding the set decor for this apartment to be mesmerizing. You can only fully appreciate the wallpaper and colours by watching the series. Dream place!
I can confirm they do carry all these things.

The primitive datatypes are nothing but the basic data types..like int,char,float,double etc..Char is a datatype which stores 2 bits of data..String has been derived from Char which takes more number of Char and integers..providing the more memory storage...Its not a primitive coz it is a basic datatype...Its advancement of char..So its not a primitive datatype

then how double is a primitive data type its also derived for float so pls clarify
Answered On : Jun 27th, 2006
As balaji has asked a nice question that " why double is a primitive data type as it came from float?" As double is the default data type given to the floating point-numbers.Naturally when we declare float f =0;---------the memory occupied to it is double.Inorder to use memory effectively,we go for float as float f=0.0f;As double is not a two float.
Answered On : Jun 29th, 2006
There are two types of datatype 1. primitive 2. ObjectI think String can also be primitive and Object type.If u write String a = "rabbi"; then the String will be used as primitive datatype.But If u write String a = new String("rabbi"); then String will be used by Object datatype.
Answered On : Jul 1st, 2006
I think both:String a= "abc"; and String a = new String("abc");are the same.

You r right Suri Strings are immutable , so String a = "abc"; is same as String a = new String("abc");

yes u r right surithank u
Answered On : Jul 4th, 2006
Float and double both occupy fixed amount of memory irrespective of what number it holds. But String is an object. Memory allocation depends on the content
Ok thanks
Answered On : Jul 18th, 2006
The Main reason behind is that when we talk about primitive data typeLets say for ex int i=5 , it means in memory where we have i , if we will access the contents there we will get the value 5.But in case of a String , when we say String s="abe";when we try to access the contents of s we get the address where we have "abc".
Answered On : Jul 26th, 2006

Topics: Medicaid, Politics, Health Reform, States
Jun 18, 2013
PBS NewsHour reports on some states with GOP governors who opposed the health law but want to pursue the Medicaid expansion. In one such state, Arizona, the Republican governor signed expansion legislation after a bruising fight with conservatives in the legislature. But, in Maine, the governor vetoed such a measure for the second time while news outlets offer updates from Virginia, Michigan and Ohio.
PBS NewsHour: Some States Have Second Thoughts About Refusing Medicaid Expansion (Video)
Republican governors from Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Arizona were originally opposed to the health care law, but are now pushing to expand Medicaid. Hari Sreenivasan talks with Ohio Public Radio bureau chief Karen Kasler and Mary K. Reinhart, reporter for The Arizona Republic, about what's behind the changes in their states (6/17).
The Associated Press/Washington Post: Arizona Gov. Brewer Signs Medicaid Expansion Law After Bruising Fight With GOP Conservatives
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has signed a law expanding the state's Medicaid program following her victory over conservatives in her own party opposed to embracing a key part of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul (6/17).
Reuters: Arizona Governor Jan Brewer Signs Medicaid Expansion
Arizona's Republican Governor Jan Brewer signed a law on Monday to expand Medicaid, embracing a key part of Democratic President Barack Obama's health care plan in a hard-won policy victory over conservatives in her own party. Brewer, a feisty opponent of the Obama administration over immigration enforcement, signed a bill that will make about 300,000 additional poor and disabled residents eligible for the Medicaid program, a move opposed by some conservative Republican lawmakers (Schwartz, 6/17).
Arizona Republic: Brewer Signs Into Law Arizona's Medicaid Program
Gov. Jan Brewer on Monday signed the largest expansion of Arizona's Medicaid program since its inception a generation ago, ending a fierce five-month legislative battle that drove a wedge through the Republican Party. The governor's signature, however, started the clock on a petition drive aimed at overturning the controversial law, with expansion opponents set to formally kick off their effort at a Capitol rally Saturday. Brewer, addressing dozens of lawmakers, hospital officials and other supporters in a packed Capitol conference room, called it a historic day (Reinhart, 6/18).
The Associated Press: Maine Gov Vetoes Medicaid Expansion For 2nd Time
Maine Gov. Paul LePage on Monday vetoed a bill to accept federal dollars to expand health care coverage to 70,000 more Mainers, saying he fears the state will ultimately bear the financial burden for the new enrollees. The Democratic-controlled Legislature last week approved a retooled proposal to expand Medicaid coverage under the federal health care overhaul, cutting off the state's participation in the program off after three years in an effort to make it more appealing to Republicans (Durkin, 6/17).
Bangor Daily News: LePage Vetoes Medicaid Expansion, Says 'Maine Can Do Better'
Gov. Paul LePage on Monday vetoed legislation to expand Maine's Medicaid program, turning the focus back to majority Democrats to try and rally enough Republican votes to override it. In his veto message, LePage wrote Maine has expanded Medicaid before -- what he termed a "massive increase in welfare expansion" -- and it hasn't worked (Stone, 6/17).
Kennebec Journal: LePage Vetoes Bipartisan Medicaid Expansion Plan
Gov. Paul LePage vetoed a Medicaid-expansion bill late Monday, taking an expected step that's sure to increase tension with Maine's legislative session due to end this week.In a prepared statement, House Speaker Mark Eves, D-North Berwick, called the veto "senseless," saying LePage "made it clear that he will do whatever it takes to deny and delay health care to tens of thousands of Mainers" (Shepherd, 6/17).
The Associated Press/Washington Post: Va. Panel Established To Certify Medicaid Reforms And Approve Expansion Meets For First Time
How do you expand Medicaid under the federal health overhaul law without provoking the wrath of conservatives dead set against it under any circumstances? A Virginia panel attempting that high-wire act took its first good look at the daunting challenge of modernizing the federal-state program, making it more like a commercial service, simplifying it and cutting billions of dollars in the process Monday and learned from a noisy contingent of protesters that there's no way to please both sides (6/17).
The Detroit News: Medicaid Battle To Be Fierce In Senate
A controversial bill to expand Medicaid health care coverage to nearly a half-million more Michiganians moves to the Senate this week, where its chances for passage as of Monday remained a tossup. The bill would expand Medicaid to include adults who are currently excluded from the federal program for the poor. Medicaid generally only accepts adults who are pregnant, disabled or caring for children or a disabled person. The expanded program would include all adults with incomes up to 133 percent of the poverty line, or about $15,281 annually (Bouffard, 6/18).
Columbus Dispatch: State Covers Health Insurance For Many Foes Of Expanding Medicaid
While few would argue that legislators -- like all state employees -- shouldn't have health coverage, other lawmakers and advocates for the poor see at best a double standard and at worst hypocrisy in the opposition to expanding Medicaid by legislators who accept taxpayer-funded medical coverage for themselves and their families (Hallett, 6/18).

I work in literary and cultural studies, with geographical emphasis on the Americas (especially the United States, the Caribbean, and Brazil). Much of my teaching and research focuses on human rights and LGBT/Queer Studies.

Current Research: Cultures of Human Rights
We can think of human rights as law, as politics, as a language of moral norms, or as all of these in combination. Virtually everyone agrees that these framings of human rights are transmitted through culture, over time. But to what effect? Some argue that culture gets in the way of human rights or vice versa, but my research is orientated around another set of questions. How can we recognize specific "cultures of human rights" and, once we have recognized them, how are human rights "managed" as a question of culture? The answers to these questions clarify the relation of literature and the arts to human rights, but they also surface the unspoken politics of human rights.

30th August 1983: - Lightning over Challenger
In this rare image taken on July 19, 2013, the wide-angle camera on NASA's Cassini spacecraft has captured Saturn's rings and our planet Earth and its moon in the same frame. The Earth, which is 1.44 billions kilometers away in this image, appears as a blue dot in center right; the Moon can be seen as a fainter protrusion off its right side.
The pair of bright star-like features in the upper panel are not stars at all, but the Earth and Moon! Messenger was at a distance of 98 million kilometers (61 million miles) from Earth when this picture was taken.
Astronaut Andre Kuipers took this image of solar panels glinting in space. He wrote, "For days we've been flying along the border between night and day. Beautiful." The image was taken June 8, 2012.Credit: ESA/NASA
Look closely and you'll see two moving objects in this footage. The most obvious one is a meteor however, more subtly in the middle towards the top right, there's a small object moving slowly up and that is a fuselage of a Russian rocket breaking up in the upper atmosphere.

Just a geek...geekin' around...dork dork dork
Back to my Halloween costume documentation!
In jr high, Ocarina of Time took up approx. 100% of my free time. Of course, I was determined to be Link for Halloween. I wouldn't know Cosplay was a thing for a few years yet, but this would be my first attempt!
We lived in a rural area. To get anything besides basic groceries we had to make an hour+ trip to the nearest town. So, lists were written and plans were made to get everything for making a Link getup. Anything forgotten was thrown together with whatever was around.
Making most of the clothing was easy (I also made a bobbing fairy on a wire that stuck out over the front of the hat which I was particularly proud of). The hard part for me was the boots. See? Challenge.
I'm sure they can be found online now, but back then finding slouchy tall boots was impossible. My mom and I had to figure something out at home.
We used some upholstery material to make a pair of tall cuffed covers that snapped underneath a pair of smaller brown boots to make them look big and slouchy.
I was shocked to learn my folks had these cuffs stashed in the attic! And they still wear alright, despite needing new snaps. Here I am, modeling them with some totally clashing grey clogs.
Here is the only remaining proof of the original costume. I think maybe 3 people knew who I was supposed to be that Halloween (I helped work a community carnival). But the people that knew were super stoked to see me!

The Vaccine Book: Making the Right Decision for Your Childby Robert Sears
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
With the spate of publicity surrounding the possible health risks posed by childhood immunization, parents are no longer simply following doctor's orders and automatically having their children vaccinated. Instead, they are asking questions. The problem is the search for answers only leads parents to conflicting, one-sided information: doctors claim that parents are endangering their child's life if they refuse shots, while radical vaccine opponents claim parents are endangering their child's life if they accept shots. With THE VACCINE BOOK, parents finally have one, fair, impartial, fact-based resource they can turn to for answers. Each chapter is devoted to a disease/vaccine pair and offer a comprehensive discussion of what the disease is, how common or rare it is, how serious or harmless it is, the ingredients of the vaccine, and any possible side effects from the vaccine. Ultimately, parents will have to make their own informed decisions as Dr. Bob Sears is neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine. But THE VACCINE BOOK will provide exactly the information parents want and need as they make their way through the vaccination maze.
"Sears, coauthor of several books in the Sears Parenting series, addresses one of today's most controversial and worrisome questions. Sears' goal is 'to give you a balanced look at pros and cons of vaccination so that you can make an educated decision.' Sears does not advocate for or rail against vaccination, stating it doesn't have to be an all or nothing decision-there are choices. The first 12 chapters discuss each vaccination in the childhood series, providing explanation of the relative disease, how the vaccine is made and points to assess a child's at-risk level when considering if the vaccine is necessary. Sears does offer guidance for those who are indecisive, offering his opinion based on clinical experience and 13 years of research taken from product inserts, pediatric reference books, articles and databases. Additional chapters illuminate more controversial aspects of the debate, such as how vaccine safety is researched and what the findings are, side effects and how to minimize them, common myths and questions. As always, Sears' tone puts readers at ease as he clearly explains medical terms and elucidates debates." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)

"I like that you always tell me what your favorites are and what you want to hear. So there's a spot in the show that I could just play whatever you wanted me to. So I was talking to a girl in the M&G and she said she might want to hear this song. This is a song from a few albums ago. You know when you know somebody who does something to hurt you and tells you that they're sorry and they apologize and you believe them and then they do it again, the same thing that they did the first time and said they were sorry for and said they wouldn't do it again but they go ahead and do it again and then they say they're sorry again and they do it again and they hurt you again and they say they're sorry but they're not sorry are they?"

Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) Chairman/CEO Joseph J. Lhota and MTA New York City Transit President (NYCT) Thomas F. Prendergast visited the Bombardier Transportation manufacturing site in Plattsburgh, N.Y., which will produce 300 next-generation R-179 subway cars for NYC Transit in a $600 million order funded by the MTA Capital Program.
State Sen. Betty Little, Assembly Member Janet Duprey and Plattsburgh Mayor Donald Kasprzak attended the tour along with Bombardier executives. They viewed NJ Transit commuter railcars and Chicago Transit Authority subway cars being built, and visited a test track where Lhota briefly operated a nearly completed CTA car.
The visit highlighted the significant economic benefit that the MTA brings to upstate New York through its Capital Program. Bombardier has built more than 2,000 subway and commuter railcars for the MTA in Plattsburgh since it opened its railcar plant in 1995. More than 400 people are employed at the manufacturing plant.
The NYC Transit subway purchase, approved by the MTA Board in March, includes 300 cars for the B Division (lettered lines), as well as spare parts, special tools, diagnostic test equipment, technical documentation and training. It will retain 300 jobs at the rail car plant and generate 308 supplier-related jobs.
The 300-car order is in the early stages of design. The first production cars are expected to be delivered to NYC Transit in 2015.
