Hi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm a Consumer Protection attorney here to assist you.
Although you cannot "force" the hospital to accept the amount that you can afford to pay, and you cannot stop them from putting your account into collection, there is nothing the collection agency can to do you if you do not own valuable assets and if your only source of income is disability.
As disability income is completely exempt (protected) from collection for this type of debt.
Will this in any way effect future visits to this hospital
Do you have Medicare?
yes but it only covers 80% I just applied for MA health benifits but they won't cover previous bills. I should get approved but don't know for sure
If you have Medicare, the hospital cannot refuse to treat you based on the fact that you have an outstanding bill.
ok thank you very much for your time and help, I appreciate it very much
You're welcome!

We Speak Your Name
Forty-four Years at Catholic High School, Little Rock
Michael Moran
A feast of memories for alumni
of Little Rock's Catholic High School—and parochial
educators everywhere
"I learned more about English literature at Catholic
High than in all my classes at Princeton."
—Actual comment by a 2003 graduate of LRCH who requests
that his name be withheld until his sheepskin is awarded by
that school in Princeton, New Jersey
In April 2009 alumni and friends of Catholic High School for
Boys will gather to toast and roast a favorite of the school's
legendary faculty, Michael Moran, the author of Proudly
We Speak Your Name. Only a stoic could complete a reading
without a teary-eyed moment or two and many belly laughs.
Faculty idiosyncrasies are recalled in this memoir, as are
student antics. If it can happen within the walls of an all-boys
high school, the author has probably seen it in his forty-one
years of teaching. And he has probably reported on it in this
book, which was written during his first year of "retirement."
While the spirit is often light, Moran's book ends with
a stirring tribute to the man who, though departed, still
epitomizes the spirit of the place, the man whose name is
now given to the school's street, Father George Tribou.
Readers will leave Moran's account glad for the experience
of following in his (remembered) footsteps.
Michael Moran
was a student at the original campus of Little Rock Catholic
High School for Boys. A few years following graduation, he
returned as a junior member of the faculty. He estimates that
he has taught seven thousand young men during his forty-one
years teaching English. A native of Kirkwood, Missouri, Moran
lives in Little Rock, Arkansas.

Dear Members of the Saint Mary's College Community,
Students at Saint Mary's and across the country are voicing concerns about the rising cost of college, loan debt and college affordability. I am writing to provide information on financial aid funding here at Saint Mary's and the steps we are taking to attempt to address these very legitimate concerns. We hear nearly every day from families and students about the financial struggles they face, and my colleagues in the Financial Aid Office work tirelessly to help families identify every available funding option. The troubling economic conditions of the past four years, including job losses, bankruptcies and foreclosures, business losses and disappearing home equity, among others, have been particularly difficult for many Saint Mary's families. In more than 30 years assisting students in the enrollment process, these have been the toughest years for students and families I have ever witnessed.
To make matters worse, much like the case at public institutions of higher education, federal and state funding programs have been reduced. Cal Grants that only a decade ago funded nearly half of an SMC student's tuition now cover about a quarter. Federal Pell Grants, once seen as the bedrock of aid for the neediest, now meet less than 15% of tuition. Funding for such programs as Federal Work Study, the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG) and the Perkins Loans have been reduced, limiting aid for students with the greatest need. Cutbacks in these programs alone affected 290 SMC students this year. Academic Competiveness Grants and National SMART Grants are no longer available, affecting another 238 SMC students this year. Finally, in an effort to reduce Cal Grant funding, the state tightened renewal criteria for returning students, resulting in almost 60 SMC students losing eligibility.
In response to these challenges, Saint Mary's has increased institutional grant aid to students by 35% ($11.9 million) to $34.5 million over the past three years. With these substantial increases, SMC grant aid has taken the place of funding that would have previously come from state, federal or family resources. Nevertheless, given heightened levels of financial need, both students and their families are being stretched further than ever before. With assistance from the Christian Brother's communities, Brother Ronald and the help of generous donors, we have been able to provide some additional emergency financial aid to help juniors and seniors in the last stretch of their academic careers to graduate.
As grant funding from state and federal sources has fallen relative to costs, the federal government has increased access to student loans to fill the gap and, as at nearly all institutions of higher education, students at SMC have increased their use of them to finance their education. In the most recent graduating class, about 60% of undergraduates utilized student loans, with an average loan debt of $33,061. To place these totals in context, nationally four-year private institutions have a higher proportion of students graduating with loan debt (65%) but with a smaller average debt ($28,310). In advising Saint Mary's students and their families about financing an SMC education, Director of Financial Aid Priscilla Muha and her colleagues make sure that families have the most accurate information about college costs and the choices available to meet those expenses. In an effort to reduce the use of loans, we urge students to look for outside scholarships and have provided those sources on our website at http://www.stmarys-ca.edu/scholarships/scholarship-websites-that-work. We also offer an online Financial Literacy Program called Cash Course to help students better manage their finances at http://www.stmarys-ca.edu/web-resources/cash-course.
I urge students and families to work with our dedicated and caring Financial Aid staff members to explore every possible resource option. There is no easy solution to the financial problems many of our students and families face, but we are committed to doing all that we can to help with the options and resources available.

200 New Jobs Coming to Norfolk
NORFOLK - It's hard to decide which announcement is more exciting for Norfolk – a Texas tubular products company is building a new plant just north of the city AND Black Hills Energy is increasing the area's natural gas capacity by 50 percent. Both announcements were made this morning at a news conference in the Governor's office in Lincoln. Max Tejeda, CEO of Tejas Tubular Products, talked about the plant that will be built in Madison County, along the Northeast Industrial Highway near Nucor Steel. The plant will employ about 200 workers and provide another market for steel produced by Nucor. Dirk Petersen, general manager of Nucor, helped bring Tejas to the area. He says failure was simply not an option, but in order for the plant to locate here the natural gas capacity needed to increase.Tejada says construction on the Tejas Tubular Products plant will begin in March or April, with the plant totally operational by the last quarter of 2015. He says a third phase in the project could mean even more jobs. And Petersen says the increased natural gas capacity makes it possible for more industries to locate in the Norfolk area.

Have Larry Summers And Paul Krugman Just Had Their Dimon/Dudley Moment?
Submitted by F.F.Wiley of Cyniconomics blog,
With my kids getting older, I no longer get much chance to play "What's wrong with this picture?" This is the game you'll occasionally find on a children's menu that's based on a picture with, say, a guy holding an upside-down umbrella while pulling a child on a leash and pushing a dog in a stroller.
A new opportunity arose, though, with Larry Summers' recent speech at the IMF and Paul Krugman's follow-up blogging. The two economists' messages are slightly different, but I'll combine them as if they came from the same person, whom I'll call SK. And then I'll try to figure out what's wrong with their "picture," which SK might boil down like this:
The fact that CPI inflation was subdued in the last decade tells us there's something missing in our understanding of the housing bubble. Without inflation, there couldn't have been excess demand or irresponsible monetary policy. But how is this reconciled with the recovery's inadequacy? If demand was normal and policy responsible, why is the economy in such bad shape? [Dramatic pause.] Well, maybe, the "natural" real interest rate is about -2 or -3%! And because the zero lower bound prevents us from achieving this rate, we need even more stimulus (of all types) than we thought. Essentially, we need to manufacture bubbles to achieve full employment equilibrium.
With this new line of reasoning, SK have completely outdone themselves, but not in a good way. Think Jamie Dimon's infamous "that's why I'm richer than you" quip. Or, Bill Dudley's memorable "but the price of iPads is falling" excuse for increases in basic living costs. (Dudley needed to be reminded that you can't eat an iPad.) Dimon and Dudley managed to encapsulate in single sentences much of what's wrong with their institutions. Yet, they showed baffling ignorance of faults that are clear to the rest of us.
Being academic economists, SK haven't managed to reduce their Dimon/Dudley moment to a one-liner. But in the argument above, they've collected in a single place a remarkable number of the flaws in their approach. I'll take a crack at listing them below, or at least a few of the more obvious ones. Here are five possible problems with SK's "picture":
#1: Low inflation does not equal reasonable demand and responsible policies
As we discussed here, the Fed misinterpreted the consequences of disinflation throughout the boom. Greenspan and Company lowered interest rates when inflation threatened to fall below their target of 1 to 2%, and this only worsened the malinvestment that continues to hold back the economy today. But inflation was subdued because a certain country lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty by building new factories and paying wages of a few dollars a day. And this country then loaned us the proceeds from its cheap exports, adding to our credit boom.
In other words, the Fed's interpretation of inflation was more flawed than usual, even backwards. Disinflation was explained by cheap imported goods, which meant abundant foreign capital, which meant a larger credit boom, which meant too much demand. Contrary to SK's narrative, policymakers made huge errors by not only failing to recognize that this dynamic is unsustainable, but by encouraging it with cheap money.
#2: The Phillips curve? Really?
In addition to applying the faulty logic of the Fed's inflation target, SK revert to early Keynesian misconceptions. They rely on the idea that inflation becomes a problem if and only if stimulus continues beyond full employment (and even in the short-term). This Phillips curve thinking was discredited in the 1970s. We saw then that high inflation can coexist with high unemployment and weak demand. We saw more recently that low inflation can coexist with low unemployment and excessive demand. In either case, inflation is clearly more complicated than SK believe it to be.
#3: Mandating Keynesian planners to achieve "equilibrium" is just asking for trouble
As part of their embrace of the Phillips curve in the 1960s, Keynesians estimated that the unemployment rate could be pushed as low as 4% without triggering inflation, and set out to do just that. In other words, 4% was said to be a "full employment equilibrium." But this notion of equilibrium is deeply flawed, as is the Keynesians' confidence in achieving such a target. Their first instance of active policymaking – in the Kennedy and Johnson administrations – led eventually to the Great Inflation that was said to be impossible, while we're still waiting on that 4%. Since the Great Inflation, Keynesians redesigned their theoretical models while concocting many variations, but none of them explain the economy's true behavior.
One fundamental problem with the Keynesian approach is this: The benefits of policy stimulus are invariably followed by costs that the models fail to capture and planners fail to consider. In the world of Keynesian theory, for example, an economy can cruise along at its full potential without ever suffering the consequences of a reversal of past stimulus. In the reality of a modern credit-based economy, on the other hand, good times lead to imbalances that accumulate like dead wood in a dry forest, which then ignites after stimulus turns to restraint. And not only have Keynesian (including monetary) stabilization policies repeatedly led to instability, but there's an enormous pile of dead wood at the Treasury Department (public debt) that's yet to catch fire.
There are many other dimensions to this topic, but I'll leave it alone for now to address other specifics in SK's hypothesis. I do recommend reading Arnold Kling's "PSST" theory, though, which is a quicker and more current counter-argument to Keynesian equilibrium concepts than, say, the two volumes and 1095 pages of Joseph Schumpeter's Business Cycles.
#4: Your father's natural interest rate doesn't fit the SK narrative
While there are different notions of "natural interest rates" embedded in specific Keynesian models, Krugman claims that his use of the term matches Knut Wicksell's classic definition from 1898. Wicksell's natural rate arises from the preferences of private borrowers and lenders in the absence of central bank interventions, or even money, for that matter. In other words, it's a purely market-driven rate for private, not public borrowers. Although Wicksell theorizes that several different formulations equate to the same figure (for example, his natural rate is also the marginal return on capital), none of these could plausibly be said to have been negative through the last cycle, as SK speculate.
Worse still, Wicksell held that prices are neither rising nor falling at the natural rate, implying that SK's logic is upside-down. Under Wicksellian thinking, positive inflation suggests that natural real rates would have to be higher, not lower, than observed market rates, in order to come closer to his stable price criterion.
#5: Umm, bubbles are really not a sensible route to full employment
We're clearly in Dimon/Dudley territory here, and Tyler Durden already posted the ultimate rejoinder. I'll just add an observation.
Recall that Krugman was widely lambasted for this housing bubble recommendation he offered in 2002:
[My] basic point is that the recession of 2001 wasn't a typical postwar slump, brought on when an inflation-fighting Fed raises interest rates and easily ended by a snapback in housing and consumer spending when the Fed brings rates back down again. This was a prewar-style recession, a morning after brought on by irrational exuberance. To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. (By "moribund," I mean that investment falls chronically short of savings at the existing interest rate, which is higher than the natural rate, and this prevents the economy from reaching full employment equilibrium.) And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble.
Okay, full information: That's not the exact excerpt. I added the sentence in parenthesis, just to show that Krugman's latest call for bubbles uses the same logic as the 2002 recommendation.
Now, Krugman tried with all his might to convince us after the bust that he didn't really mean what he wrote. But it's easy to see through these denials – there's no other way to interpret the 2002 article. And today, he's making virtually the same recommendation once again.
These inconsistencies beg the question: What does Krugman really want us to believe? Does he recommend bubbles for a stagnant economy, or not?
To explore possible answers, I'll turn to my usual speculation about personal incentives and motives. As soon as I saw the renewed call for bubbles, I wondered what was behind it. At first, I saw nothing more than a refreshed case for more stimulus. But maybe there's more to it?
Consider that both economists take regular hits for their complicity in the mess we're in today – Krugman for his housing bubble advice and short-termism, Summers for blocking financial regulation while leading the charge against those who suggest our banks are a tad unsafe.
Consider also Krugman's observation that "[Summers] says, a bit fuzzily but bravely all the same, that even improved financial regulation is not necessarily a good thing – that it may discourage irresponsible lending and borrowing at a time when more spending of any kind is good for the economy."
Can you see where I'm going with this?
If SK convince their peers that a bubble was actually needed in 2002, while regulation would have been counterproductive, they can pull off a 180° on their legacies. Instead of being "bums who brought us the housing bust," they can be "heroes who delivered full employment despite a negative natural real interest rate." Even without broad acceptance of their new idea, they can at least rationalize past decisions in their own minds.
Now, I have no idea if this is really what's driving them. They may themselves be unaware of their motivations. But it seems reasonable to point out that their new narrative overturns past errors. You can almost imagine SK in zebra stripes, emerging from a booth review to inform the crowd there was no foul on the previous play. Thanks to the notion that bubbles are not only within the rules, but encouraged, Keynesians retain the ball with their field position intact.
And up in the luxury boxes, by the way, sits Jamie Dimon, as he's richer than you. His guest, Bill Dudley, quietly gnaws on an iPad.
Welcome to today's economy.

phillips curve bashing WOOD! almost as HOT as deflation talk....
Combining them together in one name:
< Full employment
< Transfer of all wealth to financial parasites
"We need to manufacture bubbles to achieve __________ "
"Essentially, we need to manufacture bubbles to achieve full employment equilibrium. ... The Fed needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."
The problem is that all bubbles pop; and the popping of bubbles is one of the most destructive economic forces known. How can these idiots not see this? Do they not remember how many trillions were lost when the Tech Bubbles and the Housing Bubbles popped?
Q: " How can these idiots not see this?"
A: Easy. They are NOT idiots... they only LOOK and ACT like idiots... it's part of the job description.
Idiots would have been fired or imprisoned for their financial incompetance and economic crimes a long long time ago... these cocksuckers are PROs.
Every time Dr. Paul Krugman is prove wrong, is double down on stupid.
Question on exit, Thelma & Louise, which is Krugman, which is to be Summers?
< Tweedle Stupid
< Tweedle Stupider
The end of the world is near
Everybody loves the "debt bubble" they got rich off of.
That's why "Conservatives" never want to cut the manly "debt bubbles" and the "Liberals" never want to cut any "debt bubbles".
Humans love "debt bubbles" because debt is just another narcotic.
Boris is fond for Vodka bubble - form when drink excessive fast:)
Someone could make a killing selling a (2 headed) bobblehead version of those clowns in a referee shirt.
Or maybe some one is can do world favor and just kill these clown without commission of China factory to manufacture bobble head...?
Breaking windows to employ Keynesian glass makers, squanders otherwise useful saved capital?
This changes everything!!!
Boris is prefer analogy of break face of Keynesian economist, even if squander useful triage resource. Nothing is change.
It's bullshit and they know it, but, they're so fucking desperate
You better start believing, and beloving it too.

These guys are so stupid. And when I read the comments here I realise that Zerohedge readers are so much smarter. It's obvious!
Don't they have a meeting scheduled with Madoff whom they will be joining shortly!!!
Hey Krugman!!!
Earth calls bullshit.
These predators do not think.
They rationalize.
What does this mean? For anyone who doesn't understand already, rationalize means to choose a conclusion you want to arrive at, then invent and cherry pick selected facts and arguments that support what you already know you want, and ignore and denigrate any real facts that tend to work against you.
These predators just "do what they want", and invent nonsense to pretend to justify whatever they do.

I watched the highlights of the road race on TV and can not understand why no one seems exhausted at the end? Instead they appear as though they just finished a walk in the park. There is plenty of energy left for smiling, fist pumping etc. If it were me in that race, I would probably throw up and hit the ground with exhaustion after the end?
So how come these guys don't use their 'spare energy' to give an all out 120% in the last few minutes?
I notice the same thing in swimming, athletic etc. Nobody seems tired after the end of it all???

Baby Shower issues (Mother and Mother-in-law)
I'm due in May and have started thinking about the fact that I will soon have a baby shower. When I talked to my mother about it, she wanted to know if it was ok if our immediate family did one (to include all of our family friends who are not friends with my in-laws) and the in-laws do another (who have a large extended family who would likely attend). I understand that it will be tedious for my mother to accommodate all of my in-laws' family and to expect for my in-laws to accommodate people who they don't even know. When I asked my husband if he thought this was ok, he was mildly insulted that my mother would suggest that we do separate baby showers, but I totally get where my mother is coming from. How can I make sure I'm not offending my mother in-law and my husband's side of the family in general?...I'm afraid that this baby shower will cause ill feelings or hassle for both parties.

I guess my point was just that there are SO MANY people so I wouldn't want it to be an imposition especially on my mother in law who would have to host family friends, and not family. I also have to make it a point to say that my mother in law isn't lazy, but she really doesn't like to do too much. My husband even recognizes this. So I think I'm more concerned that if she throws it, and has to invite 50 of our family friends, she may not be too happy about it. It also may seem like more of an obligation than something that she wants to do. Another questions is: Should I leave it to my mother and mother in law to decide?...Should I even get involved?posted 02/05/2013 by a BabyCenter Member
Seperate showers are OK, but I guess I don't follow your reasoning about not wanting to host people you don't know. Isn't that the POINT of baby showers-- to bring together the people who are going to be important in this baby's life? I don't think I've ever heard of a baby shower where the hostess knew every single guest!posted 01/20/2013 by pkujayhawk

I just heard some interesting rumors and wanted to know if anyone has heard confirmation on these two items.
#1 I heard Trek bought out the rights to GT's I-Drive and all their juvenile bikes (i.e. BMX) and that the adult GT's (Mtn bike, road, hybrid...etc.) will cease to exist. Is this true? Will we be seeing a Trek Fuel with a modified I-Drive? Time will tell, but I was hoping someone out there knew the "real" story.
#2 I heard that Huffy, yes Huffy bought the rights to Schwinn. Wow, that would be a crushing blow to old man Schwinn, he's not only rolling over in the grave, he's doing backflips. Just a thought, "If Huffy made airplanes, would you fly in one?"

White House, FTC, and California Attorney General Step Up to the Starting Line
In the past week, the White House, the Federal Trade Commission, and the California Attorney General's Office have all released reports or announced agreements designed to promote consumer privacy. These announcements incorporate several good ideas that, if implemented and enforced, would give users more control over their own personal information. But the recent moves are just a starting point for protecting privacy, not the finish line.
Here's what has been announced:
- Last week, the FTC issued a report about mobile applications for children, calling on both app developers and app stores to ensure that children and parents are fully informed about how apps collect, use, retain, and share information about their users.
- On Wednesday, California Attorney General Kamala Harris announced an agreement with several providers of online platforms that requires all apps to have privacy policies and all platforms to make these policies readily available to users before the user downloads the app.
- This morning, the White House officially released a white paper calling for a "Consumer Bill of Rights" that would go well beyond simple "secret or public" privacy controls and ensure that users have meaningful control over their own personal information.
- The White House also announced an agreement with several major tech companies to implement and respect "Do Not Track" controls in browsers.
Individually, each of these proposals has positive aspects. The FTC's call for mobile application and app stores to provide transparency around app data usage and the California AG's announcement that mobile app developers must comply with the California Online Privacy Protection Act of 2003 and spell out out how they collect, use, retain, and store data about users both give users more information about how mobile apps actually collect and share information. The Consumer Bill of Rights suggests that the executive branch may be ready to get down to business on privacy by recognizing that privacy is not a binary choice between keeping data "hidden" and losing control of it entirely but instead a still-necessary right for individuals to maintain control over their personal information. And we have long endorsed the concept of Do Not Track as a way for users to have a simple way to protect their own privacy and supported a true multistakeholder approach that goes beyond "industry self-regulation" and creates a real dialogue about possible approaches to protecting user privacy.
But so far it seems that many of these proposals lack the teeth, or at least the details, needed to effectively protect privacy. The FTC's report states that the agency is still evaluating "whether enforcement is appropriate," while the Consumer Bill of Rights is entirely voluntary barring the sudden passage of comprehensive privacy legislation. And it's not yet clear whether the Do Not Track agreement will actually allow users to prevent all tracking or whether exceptions (such as a potential loophole for "established business relationships" that would allow Facebook, Google, and other Internet giants to largely ignore DNT) or narrow definitions will wind up creating nothing more than an ad preferences manager that doesn't protect privacy at all.
So the best part of the past week may not be any particular proposal but the fact that they've all come out at once. Having the White House, the FTC, and the AG's office all simultaneously call for greater privacy protections for consumers makes it clear to companies that privacy isn't an option, it's a requirement. And as these announcements put privacy policies and practices in the media spotlight and on users' screens, we hope that more companies will come to see that privacy isn't just a requirement to comply with current law and prevent more rigorous regulation but an opportunity to establish a trust-based relationship with users that leads to long-term success.
So if you're a developer or entrepreneur, now is the time to think about building privacy into your next product or business plan from the start so your users never have to choose between you and controlling their own personal information. If you need some pointers, check out our primer for businesses and developers or stop by our panels on mobile privacy at RSA and SXSW. Because even if the finish line isn't quite in sight yet, a head start never hurts!

Is buspirone hydrochloride like Xanax?

Yes it's in the same class here is some reading for you I hope this helps.
Uses for Buspirone Hydrochloride
Management of anxiety disorders (anxiety and phobic neuroses)1 2 5 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 45 72 81 83 88 95 107 109 123 189 191 and short-term relief of symptoms of anxiety.1 2 47 72 123
Efficacy generally comparable to that of benzodiazepines (e.g., alprazolam,45 83 clorazepate,40 42 83 184 diazepam, 36 37 38 39 40 41 72 81 83 88 107 109 130 160 lorazepam) in the management of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).45 83
Preferred by some clinicians for the management of anxiety disorders in patients with a history of aggression or in whom disinhibition has occurred during benzodiazepine therapy.154 185 186
alprazolam is Zanax, so it's the same class.
Caution, BRR, buspirone and Xanax are not in the same class of drugs, they are used to treat anxiety but are not chemically related. Practically speaking, Xanax is addictive while buspirone is not.
7 Jun 2011
Hey Blueshoes,
First let me say, Buspirone hydrochloride tablets USP are an antianxiety agent that is not chemically or pharmacologically related to the benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other sedative/anxiolytic drugs. Both these medication are prescriebd for anxiety but there mode of action is different. Benzodiazepines such as Xanax are addictive where as the buspirone is not.

Uprising 1.2 and BeyondReported by CCP Praetorian | Comments
Our always evolving DUST community!
Now that Uprising is out and Uprising 1.1 deployed, the DUST 514® development team is hard at work on more improvements to the game. I'd like to briefly touch on Uprising 1.2, but also walk you through the content we'll be focusing on over the next 6 months – including the brand-new Commando dropsuit class!
Rapid-fire updates
We listen to your feedback, as well as to feedback from the media. As a result, we have decided to move into a faster, more iterative update cycle. We will be pushing out point releases (Update 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.) on a near-monthly basis. This is unique in the console space, only possible because our friends at Sony work with us to evolve the submission processes to suit free-to-play massively multiplayer titles like DUST.
We are intensely devoted to delivering the best DUST 514 experience possible. Throughout road-mapping the update process, we have focused on fixing and perfecting our core game systems. Over the next few releases, you'll see us polish the core gameplay systems (aiming and aim assist, controls, vehicle handling, movement on the battlefield) and improve on context and immersion (getting you into a battle, adding a welcome screen, and more). Planetary Conquest will also be getting a lot of love.
So let's talk about what's in Uprising 1.2. We will post more details on specific roadmap items as we plan and work on them, so visit the DUST 514 website and stay tuned to the forums!
Uprising 1.2 (July 2nd 2013)
The biggest thing we're adding in Uprising 1.2 is a brand new dropsuit role: the Commando. Only Commando dropsuits let you equip two light weapons such as Swarm Launchers and Assault Rifles, offering extreme versatility at the cost of some punch.
We'll also be introducing special Neo Dropsuits for all roles, while Ferroscale and Reactive armor plates will help armor catch up with shields as viable battlefield protection. Shield Energizer modules are also coming, for those who would prefer not to scuff their paint-jobs.
We are expanding the Planetary Conquest experience to let corporation officers remove teammates from Conquest battles in the war barge, and districts are no longer locked once conquered by a new owner. We've also enabled ISK transfers between characters, and from corporation wallets to any player or corporation, as described in Team True Grit's latest dev blog.
We've continued upgrading the visuals, adding nifty features such as Screen Space Ambient Occlusion (SSAO), a rendering technique that improves realistic lightning in fast-paced games like DUST. On the performance side, we've sped up UI rendering and improved content streaming stability, to smooth your gameplay.
To make the whole shooting experience more dynamic and fun, we're introducing Optimal, Effective, and Absolute range on all handheld weapons, which will modify damage depending on your weapon and how close you are to the target. This should address the feedback you gave us regarding weapons that deal damage well over their maximum range, and will directly result in a better core shooter mechanics.
The game's sound design continues to get better, with improvements to memory and the overall audio experience. Uprising 1.2 will also include fixes and additions to the new spawn screen introduced in Uprising 1.0.
We're also working on quality-of-life changes, such as a Logout option in the Neocom, UI rendering, sound improvements, the ability to scroll through your 1500 latest in-game mails, plus tweaks to the "call-for-help" and nanite-injector revival mechanics.
This release includes a host of important stability and performance fixes, as well as new items, features and gear balancing, new environment assets, and improvements to battleground navigation. The patch notes will list all of this in more detail very soon.
As always, please do not hesitate to discuss these plans with us on the forums!

Resolutions for the New Year? Consider the Law of Attraction
I do not believe in making New Year's resolutions. I find that it's too easy to say what you *want* to do and that making a bold declaration that come a certain date, everything is going to change when in reality, it doesn't. For me, there are several parts to successful and lasting change:

I can have anything I want. And so can you!
I grew up in an environment where the people around me worked jobs to survive- and for 24 years, I did the same thing. I never really had a clue that some people chose their professions, or that everyone didn't hate their jobs. I thought it was completely normal to come home and be irritable after a day's work.
Throughout my formative years, it never occurred to me that some people knew exactly what they wanted to be when they grew up and that they would do everything within their power to achieve that goal. I've even come to learn that some people had/have support and encouragement to achieve those goals, while others simply rely on their own gumption to pull it off.

Accidental Pictograph
I mentioned in a recent post the way I won't waste paint. As I am still fairly new to using acrylics, I am working on exactly how much to squeeze out of the tube to fill my needs. The image above was created with "extra" paint and was cut short when the lights went out during a storm. I'm actually quite happy with how I left it, as it reminds me of a pictograph, or primitive rock art.
Do you ever have problems with left over paint? How do you deal with it?

I bought more: Colleen Colored Pencils
I really, really love my Colleen colored pencils. You might remember when I first reviewed my set of 24 double ended pencils. Purchased on eBay and shipped all the way from Thailand, they were the first colored pencils I ever really loved to use. With leads like creamy butter, I didn't want to put them down. I used many of those double pencils to nub-like status and quickly determined that I must have more.
I ordered a set of 48 full sized pencils from the same seller on eBay and when I received them, I was slightly disappointed. The pencils worked the same, no quality issues, but in the full set of 48 I felt like the color selection could have been better. Not as many bright & light colors I would have liked... more browns & greens than I need but I don't care. I love using these and will continue to use them.
I just wish I could get them in the States so I didn't have to pay so much. These pencils are inexpensive, it's the shipping from Thailand that bumps up the cost. ($23 total w/ shipping for the set of 48) I wish JetPens would carry them......

Interim Journal
I have been in a small panic.
I wanted to start a new journal for the New Year. Since my birthday falls on 12/31, I sometimes like there to be neat separations between one thing and another. This time around, my timing was unfortunately off by about a week. I finished my most recent journal last night, (A blank Pentalic - need to update the old review) and though I have been "prepping" a large blank Webbie (adding inspirational quotes etc. to the inside covers) to officially be started Jan 1st, I feel like I am currently floating without a life raft being "in-between" journals..... .
I considered adding loose pages to the end of the Pentalic... but no, that won't do. I pondered starting the Webbie now, but that's not right either. Then I remembered the Blue Ciak.
Back when I was testing the various inTempo products, (Ciak, Cartesio, Mood) I found that of the various Ciak models I tested, I liked the medium sized journal with the blank ivory paper most of all. Unfortunately, I grew annoyed with the flexible leather cover, (not good for writing on the leg) and found the paper simply *too* absorbent for use with fountain pen inks and I did something I almost never do. I abandoned it. (Gasp! No! Really?) Yes, I'll admit it. The poor thing had been sitting partly used since 2008 (and quite unhappy about it I must say,) but then one day in the summer of 2009, I came across a similar situation to what is happening now- the need for an Interim Journal and that's just how I used it.
Checking the dates, I found I've used Blue for just this purpose on two, (soon to be three) different occasions and it's pretty interesting to look back at the entries that have such a wide gap.
(Several years ago, I abandoned a Canteo journal on New Year's Eve with about 30 pages left because I really didn't care for the paper. Feeling guilty about it, I later used those blank pages to do ink samples/tests.)
Yes, I'll admit that I am a funny bird......

Outside In: Heart Mandala
Though I have created over 1500 mandalas in the last 4 years, this is the very first one I've ever made by starting with a pre-drawn circle and filling it in. My own personal process for creating mandalas, also the one I teach, is by starting at the center and working your way out.
Mandala is a Sanskit word for "whole" and through my research, can pretty much be used to describe anything circular.When I use the word, I tend to use it as a way that describes a circular form made up of concentric repeating patterns - like rings on a tree or a hubcap design.
I found it very difficult to create a mandala in this way- filling a circle. I couldn't decide what to put in it or why. I would sit and stare at the circle and feel as if it were mocking me. I finally grabbed a colored pencil and drew a heart that filled the whole circle. My mind seemed to say, "So there." Upon reflection, the heart design was interesting because I've been struggling for a long while with the idea of self love, and my worthiness of the love from others. My struggle pertains to my understanding and accepting that I am enough.
I am going to continue to explore this method of mandala creation and see what it might have to offer to my own process and the process that I teach others. Stay tuned.

My favorite music to get creative by... or to relax, groove or meditate
When I take a trip, I often take my iPod nano and this great sounding super cheap ($20!) Altec Lansing Ultraportable Speaker. While I love a wide variety of music, (from disco to swing to metal) I especially love my collection of ambient, world, lounge, new age, down tempo, chill, etc. This is the music I play when I write, draw, paint or meditate. Since people are always asking me about my music, I thought I'd put together a list of my favorites in thiese genres. Each of these covers is a link back to Amazon and they will mostly all have sound samples to play. I've tried to include links to MP3 versions of these CD's as they are usually about $1 cheaper than iTunes. Enjoy!

"Lealtà Feroce" - Passion and Frustration
Lealtà Feroce is a rough Italian translation for "Fierce Loyalty." This piece was running smoothly until the heart showed up. That's when the anger, resentment and frustration set in. That's when the piece became about not knowing what to do with my emotions- being tied to them in a way that makes me scream "GO AWAY! I don't know what to do with you!" This one is passion on a plate. It's about giving everything you have and not knowing if that was the right choice. (Yes. Of course it was... But that doesn't mean the devil of uncertainty can't rear its ugly head now and again.)
It's a dark piece, darker than the photos represent.

I won't waste paint: Backgrounds and Doodles
Lately, some of my favorite pieces are happening by accident. Since I'm still pretty new to working with acrylic paints, I'm often squeezing out more than I need at any given time. As I am not interested in using the "Stay-Wet" style palettes, I have no choce but to use up or throw out my excess paint. And I just can't stand the thought of tossing perfectly good paint.
I am a notorious multi-tasker when painting with either watercolor or acrylic. It's unusual for me to work on only one thing in a particular sitting. I have a bunch of this hand made Indian watercolor paper on hand, (Bought in big sheets from Blick) chopped up into smaller pieces. It takes acrylic paint wonderfully and so I'll use up whatever is on the brush on one of these pieces.
You can see how one of these sheets starts out. Black gesso painted with a sponge brush then some Golden Cadmium Red.
And how it ends up. The thing that's really interesting to me is that some of the doodles over top are also from left over paint and though are done really quickly - I think they are turning out quite wonderful. (1st & 2nd images were painted in this manner.)
I loved the way the background started out on this last piece - so much so that I was hesitant to do anything further to it, but I knew whatever it would be, would be red for sure.
This piece was worked in multiple layers.Golden Cadmium Red, black & white gesso paints & a white gel pen were used to complete this piece.

My First Mandala Tattoo - on Someone Else's Body
Back in June of 2008, a woman named Audrey from Washington state contacted me about the possibility of using one of my mandalas (the one shown below) to have tattooed on her body.
She was particularly drawn to this piece, because it had reminded her of her grandmother. Audrey told me, "My grandmother was an artist all my life and did all kinds of different artwork. She had an art studio downstairs in her house and was an art teacher for all of her friends in the community. They even started a small art club in the community which is still going today.
Mostly she did oils... but I think she had some of her "students" who were interested in wanting to learn watercolors and that's were it started. I loved her watercolors more then the oils….so I collected as many of them as I could. I don't have any of the abstract pieces but the only art in my house is her work."
Audrey recently contacted me to show me that she got the tattoo. There is something quite thrilling about seeing someone make your art permanent on their body.
I have been contacted before by people wanting to tattoo one of my designs, and I had been resistant to this point. I loved hearing Audrey's story and the respect she had for her grandmother as an artist. I agreed to allow Audrey to use the piece under the condition that she send me photos once completed.
This image shows the tattoo right after it was finished. Much thanks to Audrey for asking permission & for sending the images for me to share. Photos courtesy of Audrey and are being used with her permission.
I freely share my art on the web but I have always asked that people contact me if they wish to use/reproduce it in any way - including for use as a tattoo. If you have seen a piece of my work that you would like to have made into a tattoo, please contact me at stephanie at biffybeans dot com to discuss.

Review: Timbuk2 Kindle 3 Case
After a pretty close call with almost destroying my Kindle Wireless Reading Device, Wi-Fi, 6" Display - with New E Ink (Pearl) Technology, I realized it was time to break down and get a case.
You can read about when I bought my new Kindle here.
I thought about getting one of the book-styles ones with the built-in light, (Kindle Lighted Leather Cover, Black (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle) But $59.99 was just too much for me to spend. I also discovered I like holding the Kindle alone, which some people have dubbed. "Naked."
I then looked at a number of different kinds of cases, and decided upon this Timbuk2 Nylon Kindle Envelope Sleeve (Fits 6" Display, Latest Generation Kindle), Village Violet/Barley
The case only holds the Kindle, with no accessories. It has a strong velcro cover and the nylon fabric is strong. It has a soft red lining.
I think the case is fairly light in weight and not obtrusive. They cost $29.99 and you can buy them from Amazon or the Timbuk2 site. Different color options on each site, but free shipping from Amazon helps.

Chicago Bulls guard Derrick Rose, who continues to deal with a right foot/ankle injury, will be a game-time decision for Saturday night's matchup with the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.
Rose participated in the team's Saturday morning shootaround and appeared to walk around without a limp following practice.
"Feeling better today," coach Tom Thibodeau said of Rose. "Did some stuff. We'll see tonight."
Thibodeau was pressed on whether Rose would return before the end of the regular season. The Bulls have three games remaining.

Hi everyone,
When I wrote a blog about SecurityBSides London back in January the conference was over three months away but here we are now with only five more days to go until the first SecurityBSides conference in the UK!
In the last paragraph of that blog post I said I'd responded to the CFP, I was trying to help with sponsorship and if I had time I'd be a volunteer as well.
I was fortunate enough to have two talks selected and thanks to Realex Payments sponsoring the conference I was able to help out with sponsorship as well. I don't have the time to volunteer now though but as Meat Loaf once said "two out of three ain't bad".
I will be doing a talk with Chris Wysopal (Jedi mind tricks for building application security programs: 10am in the Tetris room) and after seeing his slides and my content I think people will really enjoy this talk. It is a mixture of war stories, examples of things that have worked for us, risk equations and real world financial impact data you can use in your own organisations.
My second talk (Agnitio: its static analysis, but not as we know it: 3pm in the Main room) will discuss the Agnitio code review tool. I will give a definition of what I think static analysis, discuss the good and bad points of manual human reviews and automated software reviews before digging deeper into Agnitio. I will be discussing security code review processes and why I developed Agnitio.
I will also be giving a demonstration of v2.0 of Agnitio which includes a demo of an automated static analysis module that will be included in v2.0. I have included 11 demos in the Agnitio talk so don't blink!
I'm looking forward to seeing some of the other talks on the day when I'm not talking. I'd like to see the talk by Dr Paul Judge but that clashes with my Jedi talk – "be in two places at once I can't". I'm looking forward to seeing the talks by Ellen Moar and Colin McLean, Xavier Mertens, Rory McCune and Manuel.
We will be giving some cool Security Ninja and Realex Payments goodies away at the conference so make sure you keep your eyes open for them! I hope to show you what we are giving away early next week
If you have some spare time and want a challenge then make sure you take a look at the three SecurityBSides London challenges. There are some nice prizes available to the winners so make sure you submit your entries before 6pm on the 19th April!
If you can't make it to the conference I'm sure we can arrange a competition and give some of the goodies away to the winner. We also have some exciting Security Ninja changes coming next week as well so stay tuned to Twitter for that news!
I will be in London all day on Tuesday 19th April and I'm going to be free from about 3pm onwards so if anyone wants to meet up let me know!

http://consbio.org/products/tools/mc1-dynamic-vegetation-model(Includes data products)
MC1 was created to assess the potential impacts of global climate change on ecosystem structure and function. It is a dynamic vegetation model, meaning that it gives the user information about the processes (e.g. nutrient cycling, fire) that will influence vegetation responses to climate change. In this way, it is different from models that give a static snapshot of vegetation patterns under future climates.
Outputs include maps, datasets, and publications created by model users. These maps cover a diverse array of information from fire potential to projected vegetation changes under different climate scenarios. Projected vegetation changes are made at the level of vegetation type (e.g. temperate conifer forest) as opposed to individual species. Maps and their associated datasets are available on the Conservation Biology Institute MC1 page (see 'outputs' below for more information). The model itself is also publicly available, with the latest code versions accessible for download.
Developed by
Jim Lenihan, Chris Daly, and Dominique Bachelet of Oregon State University, Colorado State University collaborators, and Ron Neilson, US Forest Service, with funding from the USDA Forest Service Pacific Northwest Research Station.
A downloadable model, online maps and their associated datasets, publications featuring model results.
Global to local
Scale (range)
Varied scales (landscape 800mx800m to global 50kmx50km). The smallest scale at which the model is being used is currently 50mx50m (2500 m2).
Training Requirement
3 (scale of 1-3): Learning to use the model itself is a major time investment; consider partnering with a qualified research scientist. Mapped results and publications require accurate interpretation, but no specialized training.
MC1 model results have been published on many occasions (see Products and Data). However the model itself is part of an open community of users, and is therefore continually undergoing revisions and improvements.
Potential Applications
Understanding climate change impacts on ecosystem structure and function, as well as fire occurrence and impacts, developing management responses.
Caveats, Restrictions
Uncertainties exist in all models, and caution is needed when using outputs as a basis for management decisions. For MC1, there are potential uncertainties in the algorithms that are used in the model, and in the climate data used for future climate scenarios. These uncertainties could affect the interpretation of model results. Users are currently limited to using results that have already been created by experienced modelers or learning to run the model themselves. The first users meeting took place in January 2010 in Corvallis, OR.
Overview & Applicability
Assessments of vegetation response to climate change are often made by models that predict vegetation composition under steady-state conditions.
In contrast, MC1 is a dynamic model that relies on transient computer simulations that are based on mathematical representations of biological and physical processes (e.g. transpiration rate) to simulate climate change impacts on a monthly basis. It is a process model that examines the specific ecosystem biogeochemical processes and changes in ecosystem structure that help determine the dynamics of vegetation change. The MC1 model can be used to answer a variety of questions, from looking at future changes in fire behavior or streamflow to examining shifts in vegetation type or density. Vegetation types are examined broadly, and not at the level of individual species.
An online interface using published results that would allow users to use the model to answer a few of their own individual questions is planned (ESRI-USFS collaborative project). Right now, users can access examples of maps that have already been created using the MC1 model (see Outputs below for more detail).
MC1 arose from the modeling efforts of the Mapped Atmosphere-Plant-Soil System (MAPSS) team, led by Ron Neilson of the USDA Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station.
Researchers modified and linked several existing models (MAPSS, CENTURY) to create MC1. Jim Lenihan, Chris Daly and Dominique Bachelet (Oregon State University) were responsible for putting the original model code together. Jim Lenihan (currently with USFS) was later responsible for developing and including a dynamic fire module in MC1. MC1 is available for download, and an open community of users is encouraged to make modifications and share them with the group.
ESRI (Environmental Systems Research Institute) plans to partner with the MAPSS team to create an online interface that would allow anyone to access some model results to answer their own questions about vegetation, hydrology, soils and climate change.
CBI (Conservation Biology Institute) is currently partnering with John Bolte (Oregon State University) to produce averages of available MC1 projections for the users' unit of choice (HUC5, state or county, soil polygon etc). Financial support for this project was provided by Forest Service ARRA funds. This effort uses Envision, a Windows environment free software.
Inputs and outputs
MC1 consists of three linked modules simulating biogeography, biogeochemistry, and fire disturbance.
For a complete list of MC1 variables, an Excel spreadsheet is available here.
Inputs include minimum and maximum monthly temperatures, monthly precipitation, monthly vapor pressure as well as soil characteristics including soil texture, soil depth, % rock fraction and bulk density.
Managers and the public can access a variety of maps that were created with MC1 results. Maps are available for many different variables, including changes in vegetation distribution in the U.S. and Canada under potential future climates, changes in streamflow, and much more. A large selection of these maps and datasets arehoused via the Conservation Biology Institute and Data Basin.
For the planned online ESRI tool, outputs will include maps plus tabulated data that can be downloaded to Excel.
Envision is a Windows environment free software that can be downloaded and will be available to analyze MC1 results for any area of interest by data users.
Restrictions and limitations
As with any model, there are uncertainties that need to be considered when using model outputs. With process models like MC1, mathematical relationships for physical and biological processes are specified by model developers and include a series of assumptions. Any uncertainty or inaccuracy in these relationships will affect the model results. In addition, the model relies on future climate data that have been produced by General Circulation Models (GCM's), and uncertainties in those climate data are reflected in MC1 outputs.
Currently, the average user is limited to using the specific maps or publications that have been created by experienced MC1 modelers. When the online ESRI interface and the Envision-MC1 framework are completed, users will be able to use some model results to answer questions of their own.
Vegetation projections using MC1 are limited to broad vegetation types, and do not examine changes in individual species.
Accessing the tool and additional information
The MC1 model itself, plus information on joining the MC1 user community, publications, maps and data products are all available here: http://consbio.org/products/tools/mc1-dynamic-vegetation-model

Litchfield, Ill. (KSDK) - It may come as a surprise, but a local company will be playing a big part in Super Bowl Sunday. The helmets nearly all the Giants will be wearing are products of Litchfield, Illinois about an hour outside St. Louis.
Litchfield, Illinois is doing big things with an internationally-known company responsible for products we've all seen or used.
Schutt Sports is the world's leading maker of football helmets and faceguards. Company officials said three out of four pro football players take the field wearing Schutt gear.
"Everybody at our company loves football and we take our jobs very seriously," said spokesman Glenn Beckmann.
On Super Bowl Sunday, Schutt helmets will be on display for the entire world to see. Company officials said 80 percent of the Giants players will be making small town Illinois very proud.
Schutt officials said every American can be proud of the great work being done at home.
"Our new ownership and management team are dedicated to being an American manufacturer and what we do, we do really well," said Glenn Beckmann.
In addition to manufacturing products for professional teams, Schutt also supplies goods for local and national high school and college teams.

Power Struggle in Los Angeles
Mayor Villaraigosa battles the public school bureaucracy
2 Comments | Print | PDF | Share
Summer 2007 / Vol. 7, No. 3
The Los Angeles Unified School District once again finds itself positioned for great things—or grave disappointment. The district has an ambitious building plan, and a tough-talking retired admiral sits in the superintendent's chair. The legislature passed a bill in 2006 that gives Mayor Villaraigosa greater control over the schools, but a lawsuit holds up his much-heralded plan of action.
Coming off the six-year reign of superintendent (and former Colorado governor) Roy Romer, LAUSD is seeking to win the accolades that Boston, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia have enjoyed in recent years. Journalist Daniel Weintraub thinks it's unlikely, arguing that the proposed mayoral takeover is so muddled that the future looks bleak for the L.A. schools. Claremont professor Charles Kerchner is cautiously optimistic, seeing a district poised to make dramatic strides in the coming years.

I have weak joints...and it's getting worse.
I'm "double jointed" which pretty much just means i have loose joints i think. my knees and ankles especially are what's bothering me. i spoke with my doctor about taking glucosamine, she said she didn't think it would hurt anything, but didn't seem to certain.. was hoping someone had heard something about it, or maybe a suggestion on an alternative to help my joints. I'm only 18 weeks and am worried about when i get big and heavy on these weak joints.

i, too, took glucosamine daily until pregnancy but stopped at my doctors request. the result is my hips are killing me and the pain cannot be relieved especially when weather conditions bring rain. does anyone know if it's safe to take? or, do i have many months ahead of me with this pain. thank you.posted 03/31/2010 by a BabyCenter Member
I was religiously taking Glucosamine before I found out I was pregnant. My doctor had me stop taking it. Not because he said it would harm my baby but because there was not enough research either way. I am now breast feeding, and keep forgetting to ask my doc about that.posted 09/25/2008 by a BabyCenter Member

When using the Webmail Plus Calendar, there is an small issue when adding a new appointment. Using QuickAdd Appointment, the start time and end time fields are indicated by the phrases "Start Time:" and "End Time:" followed by a date field and a time field. When hitting the "More Details...." button, the user is presented with the Appointment Details Tab. In the "Time" box on the right, the same fields are preceded by "Start:" and "End:", again followed by the date field and the time field. The problem lies that when displayed in this fashion, it is easy to mistake the date fields following "Start:" and "End:" as the starting and ending date for a series and not the starting and ending date for an instance. I would make sense for the field indicators in the Appointment Details Tab to be the same as the field indicators in the QuickAdd Appointment box.
Thank You!
