Health Overhaul: Republicans are fighting over a government shutdown when they should be telling a receptive public that if ObamaCare takes effect, the result will be massive taxpayer fraud and privacy violations.
News accounts have focused on GOP threats to block any ObamaCare implementation funds in next year's spending bills, even if that risks a presidential veto and a government shutdown.
That, naturally, has sparked a public debate among Republicans not over the merits of stopping ObamaCare, but over the political fallout of such a high-stakes face-off. Sen. Richard Burr, R-N.C., called it "the dumbest idea I've ever heard."
But while the political risks of such a strategy are no doubt real, the risks to the public should the law go forward are even greater. Put simply: If ObamaCare goes into effect on Oct. 1, the result will be fraud and abuse on a monumental scale. Here's why:
In its rush to meet ObamaCare's deadlines, the administration gutted the law's verification requirements. The ObamaCare exchanges are supposed to verify eligibility and income information provided by applicants before handing out billions in taxpayer subsidies.
Not anymore. Instead, the exchanges can just take the applicant's word for it, creating an open invitation for people to abuse the system by fudging those facts.
Nor is the ObamaCare data hub, which will connect seven other huge federal databases, anywhere near ready. More than a dozen GOP lawmakers complained in a letter to HHS that the hub "has not been tested" and that it's unclear whether it will be "able to protect sensitive health and taxpayer information."
Rep. Patrick Meehan, R-Pa., said that without such protections, the Hub would be a "honey pot" for hackers and identity thieves.
In addition, the administration is cutting corners so it can quickly hire thousands of "navigators" before ObamaCare's start date. They're not even running criminal background checks. This is particularly troubling, since ObamaCare gives these navigators — who'll guide customers through the sign-up process — access to vast amounts of private tax and income data.
So, in other words, none of the key safety features of ObamaCare is ready, and won't likely be for at least another year.
The public has never been more open to such concerns, with polls consistently showing a clear majority opposed to the law. Even among Democrats and unions, support is tumbling.
So Republicans have an incredibly strong hand to play. Do we really want to open the door to vast amounts of fraud and abuse just to stick to the law's arbitrary deadlines?
Given that it's been more than three years since the president signed ObamaCare into law, putting it off one more would hardly matter, especially if it prevents these kinds of abuses. Plus, it would give ObamaCare critics more time to draft better alternatives.
But as long as Republicans are fighting among themselves over a government shutdown, this hand will never get played.

The White House had been vastly inflating the figures all along.This week, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell admitted that ...

Grubergate: The lies are getting pretty thick these days. The president claims that he never misled anyone about ObamaCare and that Jonathan Gruber was just "some adviser." In fact, Gruber was a key player in the deception.When Fox News' Ed Henry asked Obama on Sunday if he'd misled the American ...

(AP) Officials say a 33-year-old woman who was set on fire on New Year's Eve in Richmond has died.
Police say Angela Squire died Wednesday. She was found in a motel room early on the morning of December 31. She had third-degree burns over 70% of her body.
Police initially charged 40-year-old Stacey A. Carter with aggravated malicious wounding for allegedly torching his former girlfriend. Now police say that charge will be upgraded to murder.
Squire is Richmond's first homicide victim of 2008.

Dubai breaks world record
Dubai captivates the world with Burj Khalifa fireworks display.
January 2, 2014 4:38 by kippreport
The iconic New Year's Eve fireworks display by Emaar Properties, the global property developer, at Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building and Downtown Dubai, captivated the world and put the international spotlight on Dubai, alongside the largest fireworks display and celebrations held in the city at The Palm Jumeirah, The World Islands, and Burj Al Arab.
With millions of visitors – both residents and tourists – building the excitement in Downtown Dubai, the Burj Khalifa fireworks display was a true spectacle of artistic creativity. Ten stunningly different firework sequences on Burj Khalifa marked the run-up to a musical countdown for the New Year.
Each display also told the world a story – of the UAE's inspiring success, Dubai's positivity and ambition, and the design narrative of Burj Khalifa, which is choreographed to the captivating melody of symphonic orchestra music of Downtown Dubai, 'The Centre of Now.'
Abdulla Lahej, Group Chief Executive Officer, Emaar Properties, said: "The celebrations in Dubai now serve as a true benchmark for New Year's Eve galas across the world. Colourful, spectacularly planned, and creatively executed, the events also underline the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, to offer a flourishing, inspirational, and dynamic growth environment in the city, for people from around the world."
He added: "Emaar's Downtown Dubai New Year's celebration is our tribute to the nation, our leadership, and the people. Having achieved iconic status in a very short span of time, the festivities are a catalyst for the tourism and events industry, and will continue to build Dubai's reputation as the must-visit destination, along with Sydney, New York, and London, among others."
Starting off with a dramatic countdown through a display of effects racing up to the pinnacle of Burj Khalifa, 828 metres high, the fireworks began with spectacular sequences including a colourful salute to the nation with the colours of the UAE National Flag. Silver pearls lend an unmatched ambience in a sparkling celebration of Dubai's success, especially with its win to host the World Expo 2020. Another stunning display was the tribute to Burj Khalifa, with the fireworks evolving into petals, wrapping the tower much like the Hymenocallis desert flower, which inspired the design of the building.
The Downtown Dubai New Year's Eve Gala was held with the support of the Emirate's key government entities including Dubai Police, Dubai Civil Defence, the Roads & Transport Authority, and Dubai Ambulance Corporation, among others.

It's no secret that Congress isn't popular, with approval ratings typically below 20% among Americans.
Now, one pollster has taken Americans' general dislike of Congress to its logical polling conclusion, stacking Congress up against some of the worst things (or at least most controversial things) one can image.
In a poll released Tuesday, Public Policy Polling found that Americans have a higher opinion of traffic jams (56%-34%), colonoscopies (58%-31%) and cockroaches (45%-43%) than Congress. Ditto for love-'em or hate-'em band Nickelback (39%-32%), used-car salesmen (57%-32%), root canals (56%-32%) and NFL replacement refs (56%-29%).

- Pelosi Leads Disapproval Ratings in Congress -- WSJ/NBC Poll

Who does Congress beat out? Well, it squeaks by actress Lindsay Lohan (45%-41%) and playground bullies (43%-38%), and has more comfortable margins over Cuba's Fidel Castro (54%-32%) and the reality-television Kardashians (49%-36%). And Congress trounced communism (57%-23%).
PPP surveyed 830 voters from Jan. 3 to Jan. 6 via automated telephone interviews. The margin of error was plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.

Much has been written since Gov. Rick Scott released his $74.2 billion state budget, which includes more than $4 billion in new spending. That would be the largest budget in state history.
There's something in there for virtually everyone.
Teachers have been unhappy with the governor and his policies. But no worries: There's $480 million for them. University funding was cut $300 million last year, but, hey, that was only temporary. Here's $393.3 million to make up for that.

World Cup final has American appeal
U.S. fans should find familiar themes in a match between Spain and the Netherlands
Originally Published: July 8, 2010By Howard Bryant | ESPN.com
Sixty-two games down, two to go (including Saturday's third-place game). The international curtain will descend after Sunday's final act: Spain, the best team in the world never to play in a World Cup final, versus the Netherlands, the best team in the world never to win one.
These are concepts -- a mano a mano, winner-take-all finale -- that an American audience should respect. The Dutch national team and its long but frustrating excellence brings to mind those American sports ...

Seeking to be true to the Gospel's social mandate, LSSN is guided by its Mission Statement: To express the love of Christ by serving and caring for people in need.

25 years ago today, Doug Williams led the Washington Redskins to a 42-10 Super Bowl victory over the Denver Broncos. For those of us who were too young to remember (or were not alive) to see Doug Williams play for this Redskins, it sounds like Sunday will be a good chance to catch some footage and interviews from the past. According to Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post, ESPN will be airing a 7 minute segment on Sunday about Williams' impact on the game that will be narrated by none other than Robert Griffin III: The racial angle, in other words, was right there in the forefront. And when ESPN decided to revisit that moment on its Super Bowl Sunday edition of Sunday's NFL Countdown — focusing on how Williams changed the perception of black quarterbacks — they asked RGIII to provide narration. He agreed; the seven-minute piece, with Griffin's narration, will air this weekend. This should be a nice reminder of some of the successful history of the franchise. Being only 3 years old at the time, I can't wait to see some of the footage and hear some of the interviews from back in the day. It may not fully give us our Robert Griffin III off-season fix, but it is nice that Robert is embracing the history of the organization and can take part in this piece.

A reverse mortgage is a loan that allows seniors to use the equity they've accumulated in their homes to borrow money. For as long as the reverse mortgage is outstanding, no monthly mortgage payments are required. The loan matures when the borrower no longer occupies the home as a primary residence.
Homeowners who are 62 years and older can qualify. There are no income qualifications because the size of the reverse mortgage depends upon the applicant's age, home value, and current interest rates. Homeowners may be eligible even if a first or second mortgage exists.

Lm Of An Array Of Marine Diatoms by Manfred Kage

Light micrograph of an array of marine diatoms, part of the algae family. Diatoms are microscopic unicellular organisms that occur abundantly in marine and freshwater plankton. They form the basis of the food chain. The body is composed of two halves, which fit together like a tiny pill box. The cell walls contain silica, which is preserved in deposits known as siliceous or diatomaceous earths (ooze). Once hardened into rock it is called diatomite. The high porosity of this rock enables it to be used for filters, fillers and as a mild abrasive. Magnification unknown.
Science Photo Library was founded in 1981 by Michael Marten, one of the authors of "Worlds Within Worlds", a book exploring different ways to observe the universe - from electron micrographs, to images of earthrise taken from the Apollo spacecraft. When Marten started receiving requests for the beautiful images in the book, he had an idea of setting up Science Photo Library. Since then, Science Photo Library has continued to work alongside world acclaimed photographers and the leading science and medical experts to provide a central source of the best science and specialist imagery available. Although the collection started with scientific images, it has grown to encompass all aspects of science and their impact on everyday life.

GCC 4.8 Nearing End Of Stage One Development
Published on 29 October 2012 04:00 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
1 Comment
The GCC trunk is nearing the completion of stage one development for the
release due out in early 2013.
Red Hat's Jakub Jelinek issued a new
4.8.0 status report
where he mentions "I'd like to close the stage 1 phase of GCC 4.8 development on Monday, November 5th. If you have still patches for new features you'd like to see in GCC 4.8, please post them for review soon. Patches posted before the freeze, but reviewed shortly after the freeze, may still go in, further changes should be just bugfixes and documentation fixes."
In terms of bug counts, there's now 23 new P1 bugs (the highest priority), 8 new P2 bugs with a total count of 77, and 84 new P3 bugs.
Stage one of development is the initial development point for new GNU Compiler Collection releases where new features and major changes are merged. The next stage is three (with Stage 2 having been abandoned since GCC 4.4) where only documentation updates are permitted, bug-fixes, and new architecture ports that don't touch existing ports code. Stage 3 lasts for approximately two months before the compiler release goes gold.
many features coming to GCC 4.8
, including
ARM 64-bit AArch64
, the
Local Register Allocator
, and greater
C++11 support

Ciao Experience the delights of Civitavecchia!
... at McCafe we chatted to an English
couple who are on the Costa Pacifica. They can't wait to get off it,
inedible food, rude crew, rude passengers, everything is appalling,
longest two weeks of their life. We had no plans to try Costa
Days 16 Civitavecchia
... whose friend lives in Medowie! And they told us of meeting a Nelson Bay couple on board - Linda & David (maths teacher at NBay high-school)! Small world.... After our "set dining" of the first 11 days (ie same companions, same time each night), we decided to change to open dining. That means we arrive at the dining room when we want and get seated with anyone (or alone, if we're happy to wait). So we will have different dinner companions each night from now ...
Rome and all its Wonders
... Claire was getting quite tired and very hungry by this time. Unfortunately when we arrived, the lights were out in the restaurant. The earlier storm had blacked out areas of Rome. Somehow the restaurant managed to provide us with a three course meal.
After lunch we walked back to the bus and drove towards the Piazzo del Popolo. This included a large square with central obelisque and large and grand buildings positioned to the outside ...
Today we ported in Civitavecchia which is the port of Rome. We had a little later start since we were meeting our guide at 8:00.
We had arranged for a private driver to take us around Rome today. His name was Claudio and he was from Rome. He took us to his car and we started on what was supposed to be a 45 minute drive to Rome. We made it to the outskirts of town in no time but encountered a traffic jam (that later we found out had been caused by ...
So much history
... who retired last year and Pope Francis, the current and active pope. A dress code and silence applies for any visit to the chapel. Max, our guide, got into trouble for not obeying the rule of silence. He was keen to explain to us every detail of the painting and colors. St Marks square was so crowded that we could not get onto the square. This is the only ships excursion that we book and it was worth ...

Jared Leto interview: "I lived with a man dying of AIDS"
The Dallas Buyers Club star on playing a transsexual called Rayon opposite Matthew McConaughey
Thu Feb 6 2014
CommentsAdd +
Jared Leto lost over 30 pounds to play Rayon, a transsexual drug addict with HIV in Dallas Buyers Club. Funny and sad, his performance will touch your heart and has earned him an Oscar nomination. It's not the first time the onetime My So-Called Life star has pushed his body to the limits. The 42-year-old dropped 24 pounds for Requiem for a Dream and grew to nearly 224 pounds to play John Lennon's killer in Chapter 27.
Despite being scarily skeletal as Rayon, Leto makes a surprisingly pretty woman. Does he agree? "No! I don't think if I was walking down the street anyone would be going 'Look at that hot chick.'" But the actor, who is also frontman of the band 30 Seconds to Mars, clearly prepared well for the role. So how did he do it?
He flirted with the director
"It wasn't an audition. But I had a meeting with the director over Skype. I said hello and reached over, grabbed lipstick and put it on. His jaw dropped. I unbuttoned my jacket, and underneath I had on a little pink fuzzy sweater. I proceeded to flirt with him for 20 minutes."
He fell in love with his character
"What's not to love about Rayon? HIV… drug addict… dying of AIDS… transgendered… She is a beautiful creature. All of which is why I wanted to protect the character. A lot of people would have just embraced the camp, the cliché, the stereotype."
He remembered the AIDS crisis
"When I moved to LA, I rented a room in a three-bedroom apartment and lived with a man in his forties dying of AIDS. I watched week after week as he withered away. He had a lot of grace and charm. So there must be some of him in Rayon. That was in the early '90s, when AIDS was still a death sentence."
He stopped counting how much weight he was losing
"How did I do it? I just stopped eating. I got down to about [112 pounds]. It's painful. And it's scary. You're heart is beating a little too fast and hard. I looked like I was dying. But gaining weight for a role is harder. You start every meal basically throwing up in your mouth already."

ROCKFORD (WIFR) – An embarrassing picture could go viral in minutes thanks to the internet which is why Google wants kids to know how to be safer with what they're posting.
A goofy photo may seem harmless, but it's the damage posting the picture to your public profile that Google wants children to consider twice. The internet company visited Eisenhower Middle School today to teach kids about online safety.
Google says there are five easy ways we can protect ourselves. Things like making sure we're not putting sensitive or embarrassing information out in public, knowing how to use our browser and website settings, looking out for online scams that ask for personal information, and keeping a positive tone with what we post.
The entire lesson's purpose is to teach kids there are consequences to posting things online and a responsibly as well. More and more employers pay attention to social media websites to see what their employees are up to, so Google hopes kids take precaution with their posts to avoid trouble in the future.

B****y Brilliant!
One of the maths' teachers has just dropped this on my desk for fixing his Mum's PC
i really don't understand why some people complain about them ...
so what goodies do you get from them?

I don't know about you but when I take payment for fixing somebody elses machine I always feel liable for returning to fix problems which occur after I've been, even if they're totally unrelated to the original problem, and as such I rarely agree to do it now for people I don't know as I am not man enough to turn round and ask for more money etc.
haha, we got a few few boxes/tins of sweets last year for our hard work which was very nice!
I do like how your screen shot shows off your lovely imac and the fact youre on facebook :P
Our deputy head, history teacher and maths teacher bring in various bottles of alcohol for me of the single malt variety.
Our geography teacher is indian, so she cooks me some lovely dinner when I fix her home PC. Its great stuff too!
If it's booze in payment then it has to be a bottle of JD I'm afraid.
Though I did once get a bottle of this from a very grateful Scottish colleague once! (they had dropped their daughter's laptop down the stairs and her dissertation was on it!). Very nice it was too!
Last edited by tech_guy; 21st July 2009 at 02:12 PM.
Check the seal on the bottle and smell it before drinking - if it's anything like the PCs I get brought in by staff it's likely to have something nasty in it...

How To Shave Your Private Parts
Learning how to shave your private parts can be a painful learning experience if you are not careful. The benefits of shaving your private parts include being able to clean the area better and (according to some) have a better sexual experience. It also eliminates sweat clinging to pubic hair, thereby eliminating unpleasant odors after exertion.
Items needed:
- Razor
- Shaving cream
- Mirror (optional)
- Clean the area thoroughly. Prior to shaving your private parts, feel around the area to ensure there are no growths that might get cut during shaving. Skin tags can appear in this area as easily as anywhere else on your body and can bleed profusely if cut.
- Apply shaving cream. Even if you do not use shaving cream anywhere else, you are going to want to use it when shaving your private parts.
- Use a razor for sensitive skin because skin in this area is extremely sensitive. Use a new razor to prevent cuts when shaving your private parts.
- Shave from back to front. Even if this against the growth of the hair, you can control the razor better in this fashion.
- Shave from the outside inward on the sides of your pubic area. If needed, you can hold the scrotum with another hand to get a smoother surface for the razor when you are shaving your private parts.
- Rinse off all shaving cream. Check for any areas you missed while shaving your private parts. Repeat as needed to get all hair removed.
- Using a mirror will help prevent errors.
- If it is impossible to shave yourself, get help from your spouse, girlfriend or a very good friend.
- Hair removal can also be done by your doctor.
- Flat warts can be spread by shaving.

NEW ORLEANS -- You can't forget the fact the Buckeyes had all of Big Ten country's hopes and dreams of removing the dunce cap from the conference's head lumped into Tuesday night's Sugar Bowl.
You can't forget the fact that Ohio State was 0-9 against the Southeastern Conference all time in bowl games.
Yet the overriding fact that will hover over the Buckeyes' dramatic, thrilling and near-bungling 31-26 win over Arkansas, though, will be that Ohio State more than likely wouldn't have won without the heroics of five players -- quarterback Terrelle Pryor, running back Dan Herron, wide receiver DeVier Posey, tackle Mike Adams and most importantly reserve defensive end Solomon Thomas.
Yes, those are the five players who will be suspended for the first five games of next season and were allowed to play in the Sugar Bowl. That was never lost on any of the guilty parties despite the confetti parade and championship trophy hoist.
Pryor apologized to the Ohio State fans on the celebration platform after the Buckeyes' Andrew Sweat and Etienne Sabino literally carried him 25 yards to the trophy presentation. He stood there, not being able to place any weight on his right leg after injuring himself on the final drive, pleaded forgiveness and boasted his loyalty to next year's team.
Herron wasted no time doing the same on the field after the game.
"It was kind of like we had to come out here and get the win with everything we did," Herron said. "We're sorry for all the wrong things that we did. We want to say that we're sorry to the whole Buckeye nation. I hope they can forgive us, and we came out here and won it for them."
Their words couldn't earn forgiveness, but their play probably did.
Pryor appeared out of sorts at times, making some questionable throws and wheeling and dealing his way out of trouble with his athleticism. A snazzy 34-yard scamper nearly transformed into another Big Ten bowl game blunder as he fumbled the ball into the end zone. Luckily for the Buckeyes, Dane Sanzenbacher made a heady play to recover the loose ball line for a touchdown.
|More on Sugar Bowl
|Related links
But that's Pryor. A thrill here. A mental fart there. A brilliant play possible around every turn.
Pryor went 14 of 25 passing for 221 yards and two touchdowns. He also led the team with 115 yards on the ground. But Pryor points to his lack of maturity on and off the field as an overriding decision to keep his vow.
"The main thing was that I didn't want [was] to let the seniors down," Pryor said. "That's a tight group and I didn't want to be so selfish and not come play for the guys. Another thing, I don't think I'm really ready for the NFL. I've got a lot of learning and better decision making on and off the field. Off the field I need to grow up a bit, and I want to mature as well. I just have a lot of growing up to do. We'll take steps. I'll talk to coach [Jim] Tressel and we've got a plan going down and follow it exactly how he put it."
Herron ran through gaping holes in the Arkansas defense for 87 yards and a first-quarter touchdown. He nearly became a goat twice over after fumbling on fourth-and-1 with 5:56 left in the game, giving Arkansas a short field.
Herron said he was "heartbroken" and "felt like the worst person in the world" after that fumble. "I'm actually a little disappointed in myself with that fumble, and I was kind of down on myself," Herron said. "But our defense played big and they got the win for us."
Adams helped make both the running and passing games effective as he kept Pryor clean from any sacks and helped open up running lanes.
Posey saved Pryor on a couple of passes. On an all-out sprint and dive, he saved an awkward pass midway through the third quarter to give Ohio State a first down. His most impressive catch of the night came when he readjusted his body to catch a 43-yard TD pass in the second.
A blocked punt with 1:09 remaining in the game nearly cemented the dunce cap on Ohio State's collective head as Arkansas' Ryan Mallett had 69 seconds to move 18 yards for the go-ahead touchdown.
But Thomas, the most obscure of the suspended crew, picked off a bad Mallett pass with 57 seconds left to seal the win.
"We were all grateful to be able to play in this game," Thomas said. "We thank Buckeye nation and the coaching staff for giving us the opportunity."
No one let Ohio State's players and coaches off the hook (except the NCAA) all week for the past transgressions. The decision to allow those five players to play undoubtedly helped Ohio State. The decision undoubtedly helped the Sugar Bowl. Was it worth it? Everyone in Columbus, Ohio thinks so. Every other school (other than Arkansas) may not feel quite the same way.
As thrilling a victory as it was for Ohio State, the NCAA had a heavy hand in making it happen.
