Anonymous said: The other day my friend bit my finger so hard that he took two small chunks out - three days later the cuts have not closed, are a brown-ish colour and my finger has swelled and is red and really painful. he did this in a playful way as i was trying to wake him up - no negativity just worried that it could be infected or he might have rabies ;) any advice would be a blessing, thanks :)
I doubt he has rabies, He'd be seriously sick if he did. Redness is a sign of inflammation which is higher blood flow to the area to help it heal. It might take a while to heal, especially if the "chunks" aren't intact. The brown-ness is a concern, though. Try cleaning it out with hydrogen peroxide, and keep it clean and covered, with antibacterial ointment if you have it. After a couple of days if it isn't clearing up or showing signs of improvement, see a doctor about it. However since I am not a medical professional, If you have serious concerns about an infection (or rabies) please go see a doctor. I hope you heal speedily!

Good Samaritan Slain While Chasing Store's Robber
Store had not maintained CCTV system, good samaritan shot by thief
"Everyone looked up to him," said one of Jackson's two children, Blake, 20, a Sam Houston State University student. "He was a people person, the type that could 'sell a ketchup Popsicle to a lady in white gloves,' as a line in a recent movie said."
His daughter, Lindsey, 22, a recent graduate of Texas A&M University, says her father was always there for her, as well as for everybody else.
"He was very caring," she said.
Besides regularly riding his Harley-Davidson, Jackson loved to hunt and was licensed to carry a concealed weapon. He kept a handgun in a zipped compartment in the door of his vehicle, his family said.
Authorities are investigating whether it is still there.
"Even with a gun, he wouldn't have hurt anybody. Not even the robber," Tippit said.
The clerk on duty the night of the robbery declined to be interviewed. "She is crying, too frightened," the manager said.
Police offer advice
Investigators are trying to ascertain whether Jackson was buying gas at the Shell station or another one across the street that he usually used, or was just passing by when the robbery occurred.
The robber had parked his vehicle at a paint store across the street from the gas station, and the clerk was unable to see the license plate.
Police advised those who see a crime happening to watch from a safe distance and then call police.
"The best thing to do is just be a good witness and observer," said Fort Bend County Chief Deputy Craig Brady.
Brady said information such as license-plate numbers and suspect descriptions should be conveyed to police dispatchers or officers on the scene.
However, Brady said in some rare instances, a person might try to assist.
"If you see somebody being raped or murdered and you have the ability to intervene, that may be a little different," he said.
Brady said police dispatchers are also trained to get information from witnesses and then advise the witnesses to let police handle the situation.

Unable to load some web pages SSL protocol error.
This error: Error 107 (net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR): SSL protocol error.
Occurs on some web pages when using Chrome and firefox but not when using IE10, I have tried reinstalling google chrome but the error still shows up. Does anyone have any idea on how to solve this error?
Thank you in advance
|My System Specs
|22 Jun 2013
Did the errors with both browsers start at the same time? If so, I'd be concerned of some sort of infection. Suggest you scan with some good free programs like Malwarebytes and Superantispyware.
There are SSL settings in both browsers, but they should not both be having the same issue. Is it the same pages that always trigger these errors? can you post an example? I'd hate to advise on changing settings to make it work until you have confirmed the system is clean. A Guy
|My System Specs

The machine is clean. I scanned with ESET(SS6) and malwarebytes. And an example would be the checkout screen of Amazon, it will work on IE, but not on chrome/firefox.
|My System Specs
|23 Jun 2013
I would run Superantispyware as well, but for Chrome, some things to try:
Click on the "wrench" icon> Options> Under the Hood> Security> Put a check next to Use SSL 2.0> Restart Chrome
(Repeat and uncheck Use SSL 3.0 if necessary)
If no help
Click on the "wrench" icon> Options> Under the Hood> Change proxy Settings> Content> Under Certificates, click Clear SSL state
Firefox doesn't have as many options as Chrome and IE for SSL
Tools> Options> Advanced> Encryption> Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.0 should both be checked
If both are checked, uncheck Use SSL 3.0 and try again.
I can't stress enough that for 2 browsers to have the same problem is unusual. I would scan with everything I could find, Superantispyware, Windows Defender Offline, AdwCleaner
Make sure you are clean before trying to bypass the problem. A Guy

Checks in as cardinal, pays bill as Pope Francis

Electricity Rates To Rise in October
An increase in utility costs is rarely welcome news, but Kenai Peninsula residents will see a relatively low rate rise compared to their Anchorage counterparts.
Starting October 1, Homer Electric Association said their quarterly Cost of Power Adjustment (COPA) will add around $4.89 per month to the average household electricity bill.
In Anchorage, rates are set to rise 17 percent in late August, resulting in a monthly increase of $11.55 for the average user. Municipal Light and Power says that will be followed by a 5 percent hike in early 2016, which will add another $3.42 per month. MLP says the change was necessary to continue funding the Southcentral Power Project, a gas-fired power plant that opened in May and jointly owned with Chugach Electric.
HEA's Joe Gallagher said that the increase reflects the cost of fuel used to generate electricity purchased by HEA from Chugach Electric. The current rate is 18.075 cents per kilowatt hour, which will increase to 18.850 cents per kilowatt hour.
Pending approval from the Regulatory Commission of Alaska, the new rate will be effective for all billings as of October 1, 2013.

Germany has limited individual piracy penalties to about $1,300 a pop. (source). On one side, I think that's a reasonable penalty for stealing a song or a movie. On the other hand, it isn't if there are procedural hurdles to actually being able to enforce even that low amount. I don't know German civil procedure, so no idea on that.

Alleged Copyright Troll's Day in CourtMarch 12, 2013
No matter your opinion on U.S. copyright law, it is the law of the land. Copying a work without consent may be unlawful and subject the copier to damages. On this blog, and others, we've seen instances of legitimate and illegitimate copyright claims.
An entirely separate issue is the manner by which copyright claims are enforced. In the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, there have been concerns raised regarding certain attorneys, their firms, and (as the judge termed it) their "shell" companies. Yesterday, a hearing was held at which certain non-appearing attorneys affiliated with Prenda Law were invited to attend, as well as an attorney formerly associated with that firm. Ken White at Popehat attended and his writeup is here: http://www.popehat.com/2013/03/11/brett-gibbs-gets-his-day-in-court-but-prenda-law-is-the-star/
This is a case in which the Plaintiff even dismissed the case against the Defendant, but the Court is exploring whether there was fraud committed by the Plaintiff or its counsel in consolidated and related matters. Hearings like this generally do not occur, and apparently the non-appearing attorneys affiliated with Prenda appeared by counsel, rather than in person, which may have violated the court's order (although they made a last-minute filing arguing they could not properly be compelled to attend). What is particularly interesting is that the subject lawyers and Plaintiffs have been intimately involved with the development of how Bittorrent claims are prosecuted, including early discovery orders, mass joinder, etc. Of note, it has become practice for a content provider to sue John Does, because all that is available is the IP address used to access a covered work. A subpoena is issued to the ISP, who may provide the identity of an account holder. Common practice is then to make a demand on the account holder or amend the complaint to identify them by name. Of concern by this court and others is that the account holder may not be the infringer. A content provider may need to engage in further discovery and investigation to find out who may have had access to the internet connection prior to naming the person as defendant. Recent rulings have suggested that just as you cannot simply sue the person who owns a telephone for a call that may have given rise to liability, you must sue the caller, you cannot simply sue the internet account holder. This court has questioned the Plaintiff's and its attorneys' efforts in identifying the infringer. Additional procedural concerns are raised in this case over who financially benefits in the litigation and how content has been transferred.
The docket in Ingenuity 13 v Doe, 2:12-cv-08333 is here:
Finally, someone uses "IP Troll" properlyJanuary 9, 2013
Lee Cheng, Chief Legal Officer of online retailer Newegg, said:
"A troll is a type of entity that doesn't sell a product, or transfer value of any sort. All they offer is the right to not be sued. It's protection money. To put it bluntly, it's extortion." (source)
Righthaven produced nothing but lawsuits. The term is properly applied to them. Porn companies, record companies, and other companies trying to stop infringement, or trying to recoup losses from infringement are not properly so-labeled.
Deadspin Weighs in on Raanan Katz SuitDecember 18, 2012
As some of you remember, Raanan Katz sued Google and others for copyright infringement this summer over a Blogger user's publication of an "unflattering" photograph of him. Today, popular sports blog Deadspin has the story.
Beyond the copyright suit, the Deadspin piece goes on to discuss a Florida trial court's order in separate, concurrent litigation that Katz has brought against the same defendant as his copyright suit.
This is a very complicated case. You know a lot of ins, a lot of outs, a lot of what-have-yous, but in particular, Deadspin addresses a decision by Florida's 11th Judicial Circuit enjoining the defendant from writing further about Katz, since what the Defendant has written thus far is "arguably defamatory." (source.)
As Randazza is counsel of record in the case, we provide no comment beyond a link to the appellate brief in the case.
Copyright in Tattoo Case: Escobedo v. THQ, Inc.December 9, 2012
A tattoo artist sued THQ, Inc., the makers of a UFC themed video games, for copyright infringement. The artist tattooed a lion on Carlos Condit's torso, and claims that it was his original creation. (Complaint at 12) The artist alleges that he created the original design, and owns a registration for the copyright to the design. (Compl. at 16). He claims that by using the work in a video game, depicting Carlos Condit, THQ infringed upon his copyright in the work.
The artist's attorney said, in a press release,
"People often believe that they own the images that are tattooed on them by tattoo artists," explains Speth. "In reality, the owner of the tattoo artwork is the creator of the work, unless there is a written assignment of the copyright in the tattoo art." Escobedo and Condit never had a written agreement. Thus, claims Escobedo in the lawsuit, he remains the owner of the copyright over the image he drew.(source).
Nothing in this statement is false, but that doesn't mean that this gets you to the correct answer. Here is the correct answer:
1. Ownership of the copyright: If the tattoo artist designed the tattoo, unless the tattoo artist signed a "work for hire" agreement, then the copyright in the tattoo is, presumptively, his intellectual property. No question about it. Therefore, I can't take a copy of that tattoo and make posters of it. Nor can Condit. I can't re-license it to other people. On ownership of the copyright, I think the artist wins, hands down.
But, that doesn't mean that he wins the case.
2. Fair Use: I see very little room to argue that THQ's use is not fair use. THQ has the right to use Condit's likeness. That likeness happens to have been augmented with someone else's copyrighted work. The copyright owner can no sooner prohibit this use than he can prohibit me from using it demonstratively as I have in this piece (doubly so, since I clipped it from his complaint). THQ can't accurately depict Condit without the tattoo. THQ can not be prohibited from depicting Condit accurately, just because the artist wants more money.
That said, there might be some theoretical claims, but not against THQ.
Condit himself might (I stress MIGHT) have some liability. This is a highly theoretical argument – but I presume that Condit got paid for the right to use his likeness in the video game. Lets say that the agreement has a clause that states that Condit has the legal ability to transfer or license all relevant rights. There *might* be an argument that Condit did not have the right to assign the rights to the ink, and thus the artist gets a portion of Condit's profits. Again, theory here, and not likely. But, if I had to save the case, I'd argue that.
Right of Publicity: The tattoo has now become part of Condit's persona. So, could copyright actually limit his right of publicity? Again, an interesting egghead argument to be merged with #3, but essentially, if the artist prevailed against Condit, it would mean that anyone who gets a tattoo without a work for hire agreement has mortgaged a certain portion of their publicity rights to the tattoo artist. I am not seeing that as a winning theory.
Bottom line: Fair use, artist loses. Creative arguments could revive the case under some exotic uses of state law claims, which would (at best) be against Condit, and for a small fraction of what Condit himself earned, but even then, I can't see them carrying the day.

From engagement photo to political attack ad…October 11, 2012
In May of 2010, Thomas Privitere and Brian Edwards, a gay couple, hired a photographer to take pictures of the two men in a New York City park. Their favorite photograph displayed the two men kissing and holding hands with the Brooklyn Bridge in the background. The couple liked the picture so much that they posted it on the Internet as their engagement photo.
Cut to Spring of 2011: Public Advocate of the United States, a conservative nonprofit, needed a photograph for a political flyer to take a Republican State Senator from Colorado to task for voting to approve same-sex civil unions. Public Advocate ran across Privitere's and Edwards' engagement photograph on the Internet. Presumably, the nonprofit believed Coloradans would find an image of two men innocently and chastely kissing inherently gross, and decided to use the photo for its attack ad. Before doing so, Public Advocate doctored the image – removing the Brooklyn Bridge and replacing it with imagery reminiscent of a Colorado mountaintop.
Unsurprisingly, Privitere, Edwards, and their photographer were not flattered when they discovered that the couple's engagement photo had been used by a right wing "think tank" to appeal to Colorado voters' homophobia. Earlier this month, the three filed suit against Public Advocate in federal court for copyright infringement on the photograph and misappropriation of the couple's likeness.
Public Advocate's use of the engagement photo should certainly be morally reprehensible to any reasonably tolerant person, and the photographer appears to have a very strong copyright infringement claim against the nonprofit. Public Advocate has no real fair use defense here. The political mailer was not meant to criticize or parody the original photograph. Instead, it was meant to denigrate a politician's views on same sex marriage or civil unions.
However, were the couple's rights of publicity violated? That question is a much harder one and could likely swing either way should this case proceed to trial. Rights of publicity laws are generally intended to protect persons from the unauthorized commercial use of their likenesses. For example, Nevada's rights of publicity laws define "commercial use" as being "for the purposes of advertising, selling, or soliciting the purchase of any product, merchandise, goods, or service."
Here, Public Advocate has a strong argument that the flyers that it produced were purely political speech protected by the First Amendment. The organization was not attempting to use the photograph for any commonly recognized "commercial" purpose. Rather, it was using the image to advance its objection to homosexual civil union.
On the other hand, Public Advocate's own website proclaims that some of its primary goals are to provide "strong and vocal opposition" to "[s]ame sex marriage and the furtherance of so-called 'Gay Rights'" and to decry the "mainstream media's promotion and glorification of . . . homosexuality." (Public Advocate is the organization that infamously compared same-sex unions to state-sanctioned bestiality, and claimed that allowing gay men to serve in the Boy Scouts was akin to "being an accessory to the rape of hundreds of boys.") Its website prominently asks social conservatives for contributions so that it might continue spreading its message to the masses. If a court were to view the political mailer containing the doctored photograph as, in part, a solicitation for increased funding, the requisite "commercial use" may very well be present.

© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
LAWRENCEVILLE - It's go time for Gwinnett Medical Center.The Gwinnett Daily Post learned early Thursday that the state has approved the hospital's Certificate of Need to begin an open heart surgery program at its Lawrenceville campus. The approval effectively erases Gwinnett's status as the largest county in the nation without such a program. The Georgia Department of Community Health made the decision based criteria adverse impact, community need and service alternatives. GMC launched its pursuit of an open heart program in October 2007 and filed a Certificate of Need application to the GDCH in January. Philip Wolfe, president and chief executive officer of GMC, said Wednesday at a hospital function that GMC would immediately begin steps toward implementing the program if the state approved its bid. Officials could not be reached Thursday morning, but are expected to release a statement sometime in the afternoon. In April, the hospital announced it will team with Atlanta-based Saint Joseph's Health System to create Gwinnett Cardiovascular Services, an arrangement designed to bring advanced cardiac services - including open heart surgery - to the county. Gwinnett Cardiovascular Services will be jointly owned and managed by GMC and Saint Joseph's Health System. Under the agreement, Saint Joseph's - one of Atlanta's oldest hospitals - will provide consultative services, including training and clinical advisory support to GMC's cardiovascular center, which will include open heart surgery services.

Houseboat vacations are all about charting your own course. Your schedule is quickly reduced to the calm quiet of sunrise, and the colorful sunset over the lake. Days again become your own. Night skies return to the way we all remember them away from the cities - glittering with stars and inky black.
Part of the fun of houseboating is organizing your houseboat trip - gathering your family or group together and planning the food, activities and fun.
Did you know that nearly a third of houseboat trips are planned by first-timers?
We're here to help! Take some time here to check out the different lakes - each with a unique personality and geography. Some of our waterways represent world-class fishing waters. Others are known for vast, scenic beauty and all of them offer endless recreational opportunities - from hiking and skiing, to just relaxing and taking in the sunshine.
And of course look over the houseboat models available today. You'll find a variety of boats, from economical and easy to navigate craft that are perfect for a family of four, to luxury models that sleep an entire crew of 10 to 12. And yes, some houseboats come complete with a hot tub, satellite television, and GPS. But, no matter which model you choose, all houseboats come with what you need for an extraordinary outdoor adventure - comfort and freedom.
Welcome to Don Pedro Lake - a recreational gem in the Sierra Nevada foothills of the Stanislaus National Forest, near the communities of Moccasin and La Grange, and bordering the northwestern corner of Yosemite National Park. Here you'll find nearly 160 miles of shoreline, excellent fishing and seemingly endless opportunity for water sports and fun.

Great LezBritain: "Lip Service" Recap – Season 2, Episode 2
The rest of the funeral party weep beside Cat's graveside as the service continues outside. We weep on our couch as the service continues on our tellybox.
With a few drams floating around her veins Frankie decides she needs her mum.
Sarah: This is really Frankie's entire issue. She has just always really needed her mum.
But her mother has been caught on the hop, she hasn't expected her daughter to show up drunk and devastated, and she is in no way capable of dealing with it. She worries that her husband will come outside and tells Frankie to leave.
Lee: This is so harsh.
Door Slam.
Frankie: F–k you. I didn't want to know you anyway.
Tess tries to find Frankie in the hallway of their home; it's not a very thorough seeking out to be fair. But Frankie isn't there, she's at Cat's graveside, clawing the gravel, her heart bleeding and her eyes soaked.
Sam sits in in her dimly lit bedroom delicately picking up Cat's hairbrush and rubbing it against her lips. She smells Cat's bra and strokes her underwear. During her pining she finds something she's unfamiliar with, a foreign object wrapped in a cloth.
Sarah: Oh my giddy aunt, this is not ideal.
Lee: Do not open that. Do not f–king open that.
But Sam does and she finds the wood. The bit of wood from the school. The bit of wood that Frankie took from the school before it got destroyed. The wood that they inscribed when at school together. The bit of wood that represented their love and probably how deep that love was. This is the bit of wood that has just staked Sam's heart.
Lee: It's with the note.
Sarah: Oh my, it's with the note.
The note says: "Some things shouldn't be destroyed."
Frankie is lying in the hallway, her face smeared in mud. Sadie lets herself in.
Sadie: [Crouching beside Frankie and noticing her face looks like she's been wrestled with] I guess it didn't go so well then.
Frankie sobs and Sadie rubs her hair to try and give her some comfort.
Frankie: If she wasn't with me, she'd still be at work … she'd be alive.
Sarah: That is technically true.
Lee: Come on, we've all seen Final Destination. If it's time, it's time, whether you're f–king your ex-girlfriend or not.
She then turns to Sadie and tries to kiss her. Sadie pulls away because she knows what this is about. However Frankie begs a little and Sadie takes it on because Sadie is a friend indeed and when she's pressed she will undress.
Sarah: Well that was quite an hour.
Lee: Not half. I'm not sure where to go or how to be.
Sarah: It was most excellent though.
Lee: One of the best death scenes I've ever seen.
Sarah: Do you think she's really dead?
Lee: Who knows? It could all have been Ed's cocaine-induced dream.
Sarah: Maybe he's dead?
So what did you think Lip Servants? We are super-keen for next week. See you on the flipside.

Juke star DJ Rashad starts new label Lit City
New Chicago house heroes Rashad, J-Cush and DJ Spinn, will collaborate to represent all the footworkers out there.
A handy how-to for those wishing to move to some of the most exciting dance music in the world, Chicago footwork.
Published: 06/05/11
A Dummy Film: How To Footwork from Dummy on Vimeo.
Chicago footwork has been around for almost two decades now but it's only in the last couple of years it's gained recognition outside of Chicago with the growing popularity of producers like DJ Nate, DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn, and Planet Mu's 'Bangs & Works' compilation at the end of last year. Footwork dancing was a response to the frenetic pace of ghetto house and juke music, the pumped-up, pimped-out descendants of Chicago house music. As the dancers' desire for new music to move to grew, footwork music was born. A music made specifically for, and often by, the dancers.
Footwork dancing is thrilling to watch. It's not just that the dancers' energy is infectious, it's through them footwork music makes sense. The disjointedness – the weird, languid melodies floating above rattling, speed-bombing beats – provides a multitude of hinges: moments within a track that present a step change, an angle at which to bend, to splice, to move this way or that.
There are 400 or so footwork dancers in Chicago according to Lite Bulb, one of the key dancers in the scene. They meet up regularly at footwork events in informal locations – from warehouses to daycare centres – to battle one-on-one or crew-on-crew, not just to earn the respect and admiration of the other dancers and the crowd but also battling themselves, ever hungry to be a better dancer.
I went along to Sadler's Wells in north London on Monday 25th April to meet Lite Bulb, DJ Manny and A.G., three Chicago footwork dancers over with DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn for Planet Mu's Footwork Tour while they rehearsed for street dance festival Breakin' Convention. We chatted about what it takes to be a footwork dancer: a respect for the history; learning the basic steps of dribbles, erks, skates and ghost; always bringing something fresh; staying hungry; and having the confidence to really work the floor. See for yourself in this short film above, edited by Heidi Petty.
Despite being a solid scene for 15, 20 years now, Chicago footwork is only just now trickling through into the city's more mainstream hip hop clubs, perhaps because it isn't a music for a big club crowd – it's a dialogue between producer and dancer, a tango, a back-and-forth. When producers like DJ Rashad and DJ Spinn are in the studio, they have the dancers with them. It means they have instant feedback – is this working? Are you feeling that? If it's a yes, there'll be dancing. One shrug and a beat will be abandoned. This symbiotic relationship is constantly pushing the music forward, twisting it, shaping it at a phenomenal rate. Rashad makes 5 or 6 tracks a day, creating a new arsenal of sound ready for the next battle.
In this unedited video below, Marcus from Planet Mu chats to DJ Spinn, DJ Rashad, DJ Manny, Lite Bulb and A.G. about the origins of footwork, how dancers get into it and its resonances with jungle and dubstep.
Both Rashad and Spinn were dancers before they made music – now both 30, they met over 15 years ago as kids in the same homeroom. From different parts of town, by rights they shouldn't have been friends – lines are still drawn along zipcodes – but a love and hunger for the music, for the culture, drew them together. Here, over a pint, they talk briefly about the weekly footwork event they've thrown every Sunday for the last 3 years.

Topics: Insurance, Marketplace, Politics, States, Health Reform
Jul 03, 2013
Officials in California and Minnesota say that neither the timing, nor the content of insurance coverage offered in their new online insurance marketplaces will be affected by the administration's decision to suspend enforcement of penalties on large employers until 2015.
KQED State Of Health: Obama Administration Delays Employer Mandate For The Year; Reaction In California
The Obama administration announced Tuesday afternoon that the federal health law's employer mandate, which requires large employers to provide health insurance to full-time workers or pay a fine, has been delayed for one year. Other key elements of the Affordable Care Act will stay in place, such as the individual requirement to have health insurance and the new marketplaces, such as Covered California. The administration's announcement cited "concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively" as the reason for the change (Aliferis, 7/2).
MPR News: MNsure Won't Be Affected By ObamaCare Delay
The state's new health insurance exchange, MNsure, won't be affected by the Obama administration's decision today to delay a key employer mandate under the federal health care law, Minnesota officials say. The mandate requiring businesses with 50 or more full-time employees to provide health insurance or face a penalty will be delayed until 2015. The U.S. Treasury announced that the Obama administration is bowing to business groups that had pushed for extra time before the mandate kicks in (7/2).
Sacramento Bee: California's Health Care Exchanges Not Harmed By Ruling, Officials Say
The Obama administration's decision not to penalize large firms for failing to provide health insurance to workers next year will not harm California's implementation of the health care overhaul, officials said Tuesday. California is creating an exchange to sell insurance to individuals and small employers, not to large firms, spokeswoman Anne Gonzales said. Neither the timing nor the content of policies offered on the exchange – Covered California – will be affected, Gonzales said (Sanders, 7/3).
Healthy Cal: What Obama's Big ACA Announcement Could Mean For California
What will the Obama Administration's decision to suspend enforcement of penalties against employer who don't insure their workers mean for the implementation of the Affordable Care Act? That's hard to say, but it will likely complicate it further, despite the administration's assertion that they are delaying the requirements on employers because businesses said they were too complex to deal with (Weintraub, 7/2).
Meanwhile, another media outlet reports that California's exchange is telling plans to strip out dental coverage, which could increase consumer costs -
KQED State Of Health: Covered California To Sell Children's Dental Plans Separately
The state's health insurance marketplace, Covered California, authorized a set of benefits months ago that included dental care for children, but now the marketplace is telling insurance companies to strip out the dental coverage. People would then have to pay extra for a dental plan for their children. California's insurance commissioner Dave Jones warns the move could reduce children's access to dental care and urged Covered California to include the benefit in plans that will be sold when the marketplace formally opens October 1. The change will also drive up costs for consumers, he says (Small, 7/2).

New IC instructor Celina Nevarez also teaches at the University of Texas in the Spanish and Portuguese Language Department. We were so happy to partner with her to offer another series of Spanish classes, with Martha Randall's classes being immensely popular and always having a large waiting list. Celina offered her first course three times per week, although the course coming up in the fall will be twice per week for nine sessions. In her evaluations from her June classes, her students wrote:
Enjoyed la professora y la clase. [How's that for stellar Spanglish!]
Excellent! I really enjoyed it. She was a great teacher; very patient. She made me want to take her class again.
I don't think you can really ask for better than that!
Student Paula Tuttle wrote,
Celina is an enthusiastic teacher. She is cheerful and expressive. She keeps us working so the two hours go by very quickly. It was a difficult class to teach with varying degrees of Spanish attainment.

I've forgotten my dreams
In all that grass,
And my sleep grew around them….
I've forgotten my walk toward
Your house…
And now another walks upon it…
I've forgotten my breath
In the water…
Along came he
And took it away again…
I've forgotten my voice
In all that silence…
And you're nothing
But noise inside my head.
I've forgotten this twilight
In the dark…
And our sun shines no more.
I've forgotten that I
Cannot forget
And I'm oblivious
To another love or
Another life of self…

<National Report> Shortly before 7:02 pm PST today a Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine is reported to have surfaced off the coast of Baja California where it remained visible against the setting sun for just minutes. This is the third report of Russian submarine activity in the past week.
This first sighting was reported on Monday September 2nd from the remote Banana Settlement on Kiribati Island also known as Christmas Island, located about 1,135 miles south southwest of Hawaii.
According to residents as the sun rose on Monday morning they could see a dark form resting on the ocean, once the sun was high enough to illuminate the water's surface they could clearly see it was a submarine. Witnesses said the ship remained on the surface for 10 to 15 minutes; several men were seen walking on top the vessel before they went below and submerged from view.
According to U.S. defense officials on Thursday September 5th, the U.S. Navy detected and tracked a Russian nuclear-powered attack submarine about 200 miles southeast of Hawaii with an eastbound course at 19.45 degrees.
The third and final sighting occurred minutes before sunset today. Scientist working on the Seacology Project, and living in temporary shelters at Campamento de pescadores, on the western face of Guadalupe Island, reported spotting a sub surface a few miles offshore. It remained on the surface for a few minutes when the sun set and they lost sight of it. The scientists on the island said shortly after the sub surfaced they were able to observe it using a telescope and binoculars.
The Navy reported sightings of Russian attack subs has increased over the past 18 months following an announcement from President Putin of Russia's growing influence. The Navy advised the Russians pose no threat and for the most part keep their patrols in International waters. China and Putin's Russia have emerged as a global power and Putin wants the world especially the Americans to know.
With President Obama's announcement to hold a timely press conference less than 24 hours from now where he is expected to pitch the American people on his visions of a new and glorious war beginning with a "limited military strike" against the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad… with Congress's approval of course.President Putin's timing couldn't be any more timely if he owned a Timex. And its his keen sense of timing that let the Americans know he's firmly in control.
A short time ago President Obama announced his plans to lay waste to Syria are "on hold" as long as Syria agrees to surrender control of its chemical weapons to the International community. Syrian President Bashar Assad has responded favorably to the arraignment.

Congress names chiefs of Seemandhra, Telangana units
The Congress Tuesday named N. Raghuveera Reddy and Ponnala Lakshmaiah as the presidents of its Seemandhra and Telangana units respectively.
With the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh, the Congress formed separate committees for the two states.
Botsa Satyanaryana, who was heading party unit of undivided Andhra Pradesh, was not included in the panel announced for Seemandhra or residuary state of Andhra Pradesh.
Both Raghuveera Reddy and Lakshamaiah were ministers in the cabinet of Kiran Kumar Reddy, who resigned as chief minister last month to protest the state's division.
The party named central minister K. Chiranjeevi as head of the election campaign committee in Seemandhra. Senior leader Anam Ramnarayana Reddy will head the manifesto committee.
Former Andhra Pradesh deputy chief minister Damodar Rajanarasimha has been appointed as the chairman of the campaign committee for Telangana. Former minister Uttam Kumar Reddy will head the manifesto committee.
Raghuveera Reddy told reporters in Anantapur that he is taking up the responsibility at a difficult time. He vowed to strengthen the party with the support of all leaders and workers of the party.

Hey all, I currently have television service through Dish Network (which I'm perfectly happy with), and 2Mbit DSL Internet service through AT&T (which I'm not happy with at all). Because AT&T basically told me that their UVerse service will also be limited to about 2-2.5Mbit to my house because of the way my neighborhood is wired, I've been looking at switching to Xfinity internet for my home (several neighbors have it and have awesome performance).Today, though, I'm hearing from people that HBO Go is "blocked" by Comcast. I have HBO service through Dish and have been using Go for a while now. I primarily watch it on my tablet, but I also have an XBox 360 and have installed the app there too (the picture quality is poor though, as the 360 version apparently chokes on my slow Internet connection). I also have two android phones with the Go app installed, and occasionally watch shows on them as well. Is the Go service blocked for everyone on Comcast, or only it's television customers? If I switch to Xfinity phone and internet, but keep Dish TV, can I still use the HBO Go app on my devices?If it's blocked, this is a deal killer.
HBO content is supposed to be available on the new Xfinity VoD app for the Xbox 360, and according to this article on The Verge site, HBO content is also available through the Xfinity TV iPad and iPhone apps:HBO Go for Xbox 360 unavailable to Comcast and Time Warner Cable subscribersThe Verge - March 27, 2012»www.theverge.com/2012/3/27/29064···er-cable"However, it's worth noting that HBO content is available through Comcast's Xfinity TV iPad and iPhone apps, so it's possible that the forthcoming Xfinity On Demand for Xbox 360 will include HBO as well."
I was browsing the Xfinity app on the 360 last night and there is indeed HBO content there. I watched a few minutes of Game of Thrones & Curb Your Enthusiasm. It seems to match what Xfinity VOD has for HBO content (but with worse picture quality). Having said that, I'm not sure if that matches what's available on HBO Go because I've never used it before.
If I switch to Xfinity phone and internet, but keep Dish TV, can I still use the HBO Go app on my devices?
Well it looks like HBO Go will soon be available on the Xbox 360 for Comcast customers:Comcast subscribers may soon get HBO Go on the XboxFierceCable - April 5, 2012»www.fiercecable.com/story/comcas···12-04-05"Reports say that Comcast and HBO are closing in on a deal to make the HBO Go app available to Xfinity subscribers on the Xbox. According to The New York Times, the operator may unlock access as early as this week.The fact that Comcast has blocked HBO Go on some devices has been a major point of contention in recent weeks. Although the MSO allows subscribers to access the app on tablets and PCs, it has steered clear of making it available on larger living-room screens. As of right now, Comcast subscribers can't access HBO Go on Roku boxes, Samsung connected TVs, or the Xbox.Part of the controversy around the HBO Go issue is the fact that Comcast offers its own Xfinity app on the Xbox. That app is not only available to all subscribers, but usage doesn't count against Comcast's broadband caps the way it does any time a subscriber streams video from HBO Go, Netflix, or any other Internet-based video service. The reason the Xfinity app gets special treatment is because Comcast delivers the content over its own managed IP network, rather than the open Internet. However, that fact has not appeased some critics, who believe there are serious net neutrality implications to be considered.As for the latest word that Comcast will allow access to HBO Go on the Xbox after all, it's certainly news that HBO fans will cheer. HBO Go offers a huge back catalog of original HBO programming, including viewer favorites like True Blood, The Wire, and many others."For more see the New York Times: »mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2···comcast/
HBO Go will be available on the Xbox 360 for Comcast customers starting early next week:Comcast To Activate HBO Go On Xbox Next WeekVideo Used Through Premium Programmer's App Will Count Toward 250-GB CapBy Todd Spangler, Multichannel News - April 6, 2012»www.multichannel.com/article/482···Week.php"Starting early next week, Comcast will let HBO subscribers access the premium network's app on Microsoft's Xbox 360 -- but unlike with the operator's own VOD app for the console, video accessed through HBO Go will count toward the 250-Gigabyte monthly data-usage limit on broadband users.Comcast announced the new feature in a blog post Friday »blog.comcast.com/2012/04/hbogo-n···ers.html . To access HBO Go on the Xbox Live service -- which costs an additional $60 per year from Microsoft -- customers can log in with the same username and password that they use for Xfinity TV on Xbox.HBO Go launched on the game platform last week. Comcast also debuted its own Xfinity TV app for the Xbox, but the MSO was not among the initial affiliates supporting the HBO app. (Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks also do not allow HBO Go on Xbox.) Comcast and HBO resolved business issues unrelated to the device itself to reach an agreement on HBO Go for Xbox, according to an industry source.Meanwhile, Comcast still does not provide access to the HBO authenticated programming service through Roku set-tops or Samsung Smart TVs, as most other HBO affiliates do.With Comcast's launch of Xfinity TV for Xbox, public-interest groups complained that the operator's policy of not counting video-on-demand consumed through the app was anticompetitive relative to other Internet-delivered services. Comcast said that because the Xbox acts as effectively another set-top box for VOD that does not traverse the Internet, usage of the Xfinity app is not subject to the 250 GB monthly cap.The MSO, in its frequently asked questions section of its website, says all Internet-delivered video -- including that on its XfinityTV.com site -- counts toward total usage.A Comcast spokesman said all HBO Go usage will apply to the cap because the video is delivered over the public Internet, while the Xfinity TV VOD app for Xbox uses only the MSO's private network."The Comcast FAQs page for their Xfinity TV and HBO Go apps for Xbox 360: »xbox.comcast.net/faqs.html
Comcast access to the HBO Go app on Xbox 360 is liveEngadget - April 9, 2012»www.engadget.com/2012/04/09/comc···is-live/"After a short delay, Comcast subscribers are now on the list of users able to access the HBO Go streaming app via their Xbox 360s. Although some HBO content was already included in the Xfinity TV app, it wasn't all there however a change in the policy was rumored and then eventually confirmed late last week.We're still left to ponder what exactly caused the hold up, and why there's still no hint of streaming access on Roku or Samsung.The news was tweeted earlier from the HBO Go official account, you can head there and check out another one of those promotional teasers (

Greatest Snow Depth on Record: 451 Inches
Sierra Nevada Snow
iWitness Weather contributor SF Skier says: Caltrans crews were working hard to clear Highway 88 westbound around Carson Spur in February 2011 after 12 feet of snow in a week.
Above: Photos of incredible amounts of snow in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Tamarack, Calif. in the Sierra Nevada Mountains holds the United States record for greatest snow depth ever measured. A maximum snow depth of 451 inches, or 37.5 feet, was recorded on March 11, 1911.
According to Christopher Burt of wunderground.com, the site is at an elevation of 7,000 feet near where the Bear Valley Ski Resort is now.
Burt researched locations outside the United States and found that an even greater snow depth of 465.4 inches was measured February 14, 1927 on Mt. Ibuki in Japan (Honshu Island).
Tamarack occupies another place in the record book of all-time snowfall records.

HMC - 7. what kind of pet would you take with you?
I would definitely take a cat, if allowed so a young one, not a kitten but a little older. I've always loved black ones, not because the are so related to the images of magic people made, but because I love the beauty of it's complete black fur. though I probably go for a white one, since I've always wanted to have a white one. white cats can have eyes blue as the skies or as green as poison, they can also have one blue and one green eye. to me it doesn't really matter, they are all beautiful.

These past two weeks have been up and down for me, both with food and my exercises. The majority of my meals have continued to be clean except for a day last week where I felt like I could eat anything and everything – I described it as feeling like a bottomless pit. I got so fed up that I texted Jess freaking out. She suggested doing some cardio. Jess says that in moments like that you just need to exercise and move around. I distracted myself with the run and was able to stop thinking about wanting to eat. After that one day I was able to refocus and continue eating clean, but I had no desire to work out.

I've had this thought for months now, and I need to get it down. A very high number of people in our culture and society are unhappy. Unhappiness and anxiety are the root of most habits of excess, including hoarding, overspending and overeating. I'm pretty sure I know why, and I'm going to explain. First of all, have any of you seen the documentary "God Grew Tired of Us"? It follows a few of the Lost Boys of Sudan as they integrate into American culture, trying to get an opportunity at a new life.

Look hard before you leap
Filed under: Public policy
The Guardian's splash this morning focussed on the delayed launch of the Better Care Fund. The Fund aims to encourage improved coordination across health and social care but apparently the Cabinet Office has severe doubts about value for money. This may be embarrassing for ministers and officials but, if there is one thing worse than a bad policy being delayed, it is a bad policy being implemented.
Apart from general misgivings quoted in the Guardian, we don't know the substance of the Cabinet Office's concerns, but let me offer three reasons why what looks like a sensible response to an obvious problem might be running into difficulties.
First, the Fund was premised on one of the most commonly claimed, and also one of the least often proved, assertions made in public policy; namely, that spending money in one area will reduce expenditure in another. Hospitals are expensive, risky and anonymous environments and so it is surely in the interests of both public sector paymasters, on the one hand, and patients and carers, on the other, that people should stay in them for the minimum necessary time.
The problem is that cash strapped local authorities have always lacked incentives to help reduce bed blocking and now face eye watering budget cuts. The Fund will transfer money from the NHS to councils on the principle that better community provision for councils would reduce pressure on the NHS, both in long stay wards and in the A and E departments where badly cared-for vulnerable people often end up.
I have heard this kind of spend to save argument countless times not just from public sector officials but from people setting up a variety of social enterprises and charities. So I will let you into an open secret, everyone in the Treasury, and now it appears the Cabinet Office, treats such arguments with intense scepticism. Time and time again such promises evaporate as savings fail to materialise either because the policy doesn't work or – more fundamentally – because the released capacity in one area is immediately filled with new demand. As what is ostensibly a spend to save scheme, the Better Care Fund would have immediately aroused the suspicions of any seasoned policy analyst and in this case those concerns would be loudly echoed by NHS commissioners and providers threatened with having to hand over money to their local council today in exchange for jam savings tomorrow.
Second, I suspect size matters. There are some structural ways one might address the health and social care divide, most obviously putting certain NHS services under the control of local authority social care departments or vice versa, and there are lots of smaller scale innovations which can and have made a difference in particular cases, but the £3.8 billion Fund may have suffered from reverse Goldilocks syndrome: too big and expensive to be genuinely innovative but too small and short term to achieve system change.
Third, when a problem is obvious, bad and persistent the tendency is to think that what is needed is simply more determination to solve it – in this case incentivised by cash. But when a problem is obvious, persistent and bad it also tends to indicate something else – we may be failing to grasp its nature and how difficult it is to solve.
The other day I came across an example of this in a different part of the social care jungle. I was being told that teenage children who fall into the care system (a system which is expensive and has poor outcomes for older children) have very often been seen multiple times by local authorities and other agencies. The obvious point, and one we often hear in tragic cases of neglect, is that none of these interventions grabbed the problem and solved it once and for all. The answer is surely concerted decisive interventions earlier on. So far, so obvious, but this view of the problem is conditioned by the starting point – those who have been failed. What about evidence as to the general efficacy of earlier interventions?
If, for example, we found out that 90% of youngsters subject to an earlier and cheaper intervention (some form of parenting support, for example) had not re-entered the system, we might deem this value for money even though 10% fall through the net. Also, if a system focusses on more intensive interventions the consequence might be that fewer youngsters get any kind of help and that we over-intervene with youngsters who only needed a small helping hand. Thus the case for what seems a more effective and economical solution (one big intervention rather than lots of smaller ones) may not be as open and shut as it seems.
I suspect that bed blocking may be a similar example where, perhaps, most frail people do successfully exit to the community while the few who don't have particular characteristics such as complex conditions and needs, and a lack of informal support. If those who are bed blocking are the hardest cases then neither the projected savings nor the better outcomes of community care will be as clear cut as they first seem or as ministers – who are desperate to believe they can have a decisive impact – have been led to believe.
There are no doubt lots of bad reasons why the launch of the Better Care Fund has been delayed. There might also be some quite good ones.

These are all interesting points, accept that the government has made it clear today that the Better Care Fund has not been delayed and will still start on 1 April 2015. The announcement of the outcome of local authority bids has been put back until after the election, apparently as a small number needed further work.
In terms of evidence though this scheme is not starting from a blank sheet of paper. There have been pilots, there have been lessons from those pilots and there is evidence of impact from those pilots to show that the NHS in particular benefits financially from the programme.

Now, if we can just do the same thing with primary care then we would see some serious savings.
