Healthcare | A bipartisan health plan has something for everyone, but is that enough to win support?
Insuring more Americans while reducing the federal deficit? Yes we can, say two senators from separate parties who hope their health-care ideas gain attention when Congress begins work this summer on overhauling health care.
That the current system is too costly and leaves too many Americans uninsured are about the only things entrenched health-care stakeholders agree on. That is why the proposal by Sens. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, and Robert Bennett, a Utah Republican, stands out: Already their Healthy Americans Act has garnered an unusual bipartisan mix with 12 additional Senate supporters-five Republicans and six Democrats (plus Independent Sen. Joe Lieberman).
While President Barack Obama's proposal to create a government--provided plan threatens to drive private heath insurance out of business, Wyden and Bennett have a more outside-the-box approach: They propose giving individuals medical plan choices-inviting workers to take over the health-care reins that have been held in corporate hands since the Great Depression.
This recasting of the health-care mindset would provide universal coverage through private companies that people choose themselves and that they can then take with them from job to job.
"Health care can be fixed without massive new tax increases or boatloads of added government spending," says Wyden.
The plan tries to give both political parties something to cheer about-a feature that could be its undoing: Coverage would be required with the government paying the premiums of poorer families (something liberals favor) through taxes on employers (something small businesses may oppose). But all plans would be privately run and subject to market competition (something that pleases conservatives) with employers having to return to employees the cash that would have been spent on the business health plan.
Increased clout for cost-conscious individuals in the health-care marketplace, argues Joseph Minarik with the Committee for Economic Development, would provide the leverage needed to introduce more competition into the system, driving down costs while improving quality.
An added bonus touted by its supporters: A Lewin Group study says that the act would save already insured families $300 a year, trim nearly $1.5 trillion in health-care spending over the next decade, and actually reduce the federal deficit by $343.1 billion.
But some conservative critics, while saying the act's focus on an individual-based system over an employer-based system is a bold step in the right direction, argue that serious changes are needed: The Heritage Foundation's Nina Owcharenko maintains that the bill provides the government with regulatory powers that could control the supply of health-insurance products and choke market forces. She adds that the current bill also poses problematic tax inequities for employers and contains worrisome federal mandates-including one that health insurers must cover abortions.
The crowded field of health-care proposals is sure to create legislative traffic jams in coming months. But, while this particular bill is a work in progress, asking Americans to take responsibility for their own health-care plans should be a bipartisan no-brainer.
No bar to service
By Edward Lee Pitts
Kathleen Sebelius' nomination to lead the Health and Human Services Department headed to the full Senate for confirmation after the Kansas governor won approval of the Senate Finance Committee on April 21 in a 15-8 vote. Sebelius came under fire in April for misstating how much money she received from a controversial provider of late-term abortions. In her response to committee questions, Sebelius originally wrote that she received $12,450 from George Tiller between 1994 and 2001. An Associated Press review, however, revealed that the Kansas abortionist donated at least $23,000 more to Sebelius' political action committee from 2000 to 2002.
Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, said the revelation that Sebelius received almost three times more money from Tiller than she originally revealed led him to oppose her nomination. Only two of 10 Republicans on the Finance Committee voted for Sebelius: Sen. Pat Roberts from Sebelius' home state and Sen. Olympia Snowe of Maine.
Sebelius is the last nominee needed to complete a full Cabinet for the Obama administration.

Keyboard, Display (DSKY), Apollo, Block II
The Display Keyboard (DSKY) was the method by which Apollo astronauts communicated with the computers on board the Apollo Command and Lunar Modules. A Command module had two DSKYs, and the Lunar Module had one. This DSKY was a "Block II" version that was installed in one of the unflown Lunar Modules.
The interface consisted of a simple numerical keyboard, a row of status lights, and a set of lighted numerical indicators. Astronauts instructed the computer by keying in numerical codes in a "verb - noun" sequence.
This artifact was transferred from NASA to NASM in 1972.

Lamar Odom
Tearful Lamar Odom: "I Want to Make It Work With Khloe!" (VIDEO)
Just three short months after Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from estranged husband Lamar Odom, he's embarking on a mission to win back the heart of his lady love. In an emotional chat with In Touch, Lamar opened up, saying, "I want to make it work with Khloe." Gather your feels and read on.
"I'm going to see Khloe," Lamar told the magazine while at a hotel in NYC, where he's undergoing physical therapy before returning to Los Angeles. "I'm going to see her soon."
The divide between Khloe and Lamar began when news of his rumored drug addiction began making headlines, but now the former NBA player says he is getting his life back in order. He just returned home from playing basketball in Spain, but that was cut short due to a back injury.
"I'm focusing on getting better," Lamar tells the mag. Sounds like he's on the right track. But how does Khloe feel about the whole situation?
In a recent interview, Kokes opened up about how she's dealing with the demise of her marriage. "It's definitely not anything I'm through," she said. "I'm going through it, but I'm not through it."
We don't know if these two can put their tumultuous past behind them, but we're glad to hear that Lamar is working on himself. Can these two save what's left of their relationship?
Do you think Khloe and Lamar should get back together? Hit the comments and sound off!

None of our beeswax
Faith & Inspiration
My children have this game they like to play: They wait until we are flying down the highway with the wind blowing and their mother and I trying to have a conversation and they begin to ask questions from the far back of the minivan. The result is much like what you'd get if you situated the old folks who are hearing impaired on opposite sides of a dance floor and asked them to talk about kids these days, or the price of gas.
"Dad! Can I have a motorbike when I'm 13?"
"We'll see!"
"When they're free???"
"I said 'we'll see'!"
"But they're not free!"
"We'll talk about it later!"
"Stop talking!"
And so on. If our military tried this on Muslim terrorists I am sure the ACLU would take issue with it. And I'm not sure I'd disagree with them. With the aim of preserving what remains of our sanity, my new strategy is simply to answer every question "No" while we are driving.
Which brings me to my point. I've noticed that when I tell them no without explaining my reasons, my children make up their own reasons. Recently I told them we couldn't go to McDonald's. My oldest explained to his brothers that this was because they hadn't gotten their chores done in time. The truth was simply that I am sick of McDonald's. But I noticed in his behavior something I have done often, which is to attribute motives to God. When something doesn't go my way, I develop a story about why God has "done" that to me. He wants to teach me something. He's punishing me. He has something even more wonderful in store.
Notice how all of those narratives put me at the center of things. Maybe I didn't get what I wanted simply because God wanted someone else to have it. Or maybe---here's a blow both to my pride and my lingering Calvinist leanings---I really did have a chance at it, but the person who got it instead simply worked harder for it, or just got lucky.
What I'm pondering more and more these days is that there are things we are not meant to know. The early Church fathers used the "not" form to approach God in their speech: inexpressible, incomparable, unfathomable, and so on. There's wisdom in that, and in cultivating within us a humility that doesn't try to deduce God's will from events.
I once heard someone ask a very wise man of God, "How can we counsel those who have just experienced some horrible, inexplicable tragedy, like the loss of a child?" His answer was that we should weep with them, grieve with them, and not be quick to try and discern purposes. Sometimes the answer is simply that it is not for us to know.

A day by day guide to the most visited cities in France - Paris and Nice. Make the most of your short visits to these two amazingly beautiful cities by following the day by day itineraries designed by a former French teacher who has taken dozens of groups to France over the past 35 years.
I was raised in Colorado Springs. After college in NB, OK and France I returned to the Springs to begin my teaching career. My passions are traveling, reading, writing, my son, my dogs - all those things that bring joy to my life. I am presently retired from teaching French (English, Spanish, drama and journalism along the way!) primarily in junior highs and middle schools (the fun years!) I have taken groups to Europe - primarily France - for the past 35 years. I guess I will always be a teacher! Eventually, I hope to live in France and continue writing there.

Vince Pace, director of photography on the Los Angeles unit of 'Avatar', told Cinematical that Michael Bay's upcoming 'Transformers 3', now titled 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon', is being both shot and post-converted in 3D. "We're doing Transformers with Michael Bay, and that's a big challenge because he's not the kind of director that's going to give you a break," Pace said to reporters Tuesday. "But he met it halfway and he said, look, it complements my product, and I want to incorporate this into my shooting style."
Pace spoke to reporters at the Los Angeles press day for the new 'Avatar' 3-Disc Special Edition Blu-ray. He confirmed that both processes were being used on the 'Transformers' sequel, and observed that filmmakers can make good use of either of them as long as the circumstances are right. "They're doing both," he revealed. "[But] once we win that – once they know you're putting a better product on the screen, then you're working as a team. I think the dimensionalization quotient, if you will, can work if you have enough time, if you have the right talent behind it, and some money to back it, you're in a good place to work in it. Because it's part art, part time, and it's part technology."
Pace also said that a big part of the problems filmmakers previously experienced with the post-conversion process was due to a lack of preparation, as well as a lack of understanding how intricate the process actually is. "This theory of just push-button [3D] in the context of a film that you already have an allotted amount for 2D, the fact that you're going to convert it into 3D, I think people are beginning to realize that's not as great an option as it once was thought to be," he observed. "Avatar kind of elevated us to say, now we have a 3D camera to go shoot a 3D movie, and you can make the money of Avatar. [But] I do feel that if you have the proper amount of time, given a 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Star Wars,' and if you put the right team together, you can make good product."
Recently an Amazon product description popped up online for 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon', providing us with a loose synopsis for the third film. It read, "In this new movie, the Autobots and Decepticons become involved in a perilous space race between the US and Russia, and once again human Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) has to come to the aid of his robot friends."
'Transformers 3' hits theaters on July 1st, 2011.

Missing Woman Last Seen With Homicide Suspect
BURNSVILLE (AP) – Authorities are looking for a University of Minnesota student last seen with her ex-boyfriend at a Burnsville bar where he's suspected of fatally shooting a man in the parking lot.
Family members of Anarae Schunk say the 20-year-old Burnsville woman is seen in surveillance video walking into Nina's Grill with her ex-boyfriend Saturday. That man is being held in the shooting death of 23-year-old Palagor Jobi whose body was found early Sunday morning outside the bar.
Schunk's family members say she has not contacted them for days, which is unusual. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension says Schunk's social media has also been inactive.
Schunk's older brother, Owen Schunk, says his sister broke up with the homicide suspect last November after she learned he was living with the mother of his child.

Padres hope to avoid sweep in S.F.
The Padres are 4-2 against the Dodgers this season, and 1-10 against everyone else.
That's the most telling statistic facing the Padres as they prepare to meet the Giants Sunday afternoon at AT&T Park in San Francisco needing a win to prevent being swept in a three-game series for the third time this season.
Eight of the Padres 12 losses this season have been by three runs or less. They are 1-4 in one-run decisions and have lost two other games by two runs.
But after scoring 21 runs on 37 hits in their three-game sweep at Dodger Stadium to open this six-game road trip, the Padres have scored two runs on 10 hits in their first two games in San Francisco.
With left-hander Barry Zito starting for the Giants, Jesus Guzman will start in place of Yonder Alonso at first base Sunday. Guzman is 4-for-7 with a double and a homer in his career against Zito and is riding a five-game hitting streak (6-for-16 with a double).
Since his eight-game hitting streak (13-for-31 with three doubles, a homer and seven RBIs) ended Wednesday, Alonso has gone 0-for-11 with seven strikeouts and one grounded into a double play. He struck out six times against left-handers Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and Madison Bumgarner of the Giants.
Chris Denorfia, who is 4-for-9 lifetime against Zito, will start in right field and lead-off.
Going into Sunday's game, Denorfia has hit safely in 13 of the 14 games he has started this season and is riding a four-game hitting streak (7-for-17 with three doubles, a homer and two RBI).
Among active players with more than 50 at-bats, Denorfia is tied for the second-highest batting average at AT&T Park. His .364 mark (the same as Ryan Branu's) ranks behind only Chris Iannetta's .371 mark.
PADRES (5-12) at GIANTS (11-7)
Time: 1:05 p.m. Game: 3 of 3
TV: Fox Sports San Diego
Radio: 1090-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)s

Stults vs. the Giants: 4-2 career, 4.73 ERA in 11 games (nine starts).
Stults at AT&T Park: 1-1 career, 4.64 ERA in six games (four starts).
Stults, 33, has two of the five Padres wins going into his fourth start of the season. He had two of the six Padres wins against the Giants last season with a 4.95 ERA in three starts. His two wins against the Giants came in the last days of the season (Sept. 23 and 29). The Padres are 12-5 in Stults' 17 starts with the club.

Zito vs. the Padres: 4-9 career, 4.80 ERA in 21 games (20 starts).
Zito at AT&T Park: 32-35 career, 4.10 ERA in 90 games (88 starts).
Zito, 34, is a graduate of University High in San Diego and USC. He was the ninth overall pick of the Oakland A's in 1999. He has a career record of 162-133 with a 3.94 ERA in 403 games (397 starts). After going 43-61 in five straight losing seasons with the Giants after signing as a seven-season, $126 million contract with San Francisco before the 2007 season, Zito went 15-8 last season with a 4.15 ERA in 32 starts. His contract expires this season.

Anne Arundel Medical Center expands tobacco policy
Anne Arundel Medical Center is broadening its tobacco policy in a move that will impact anyone who visits the facility as well as how the medical center makes future hires.
Starting July 1 of this year, the medical center will expand its "tobacco-free" zones and ban e-cigarettes. The expanded policy will include all Anne Arundel Medical Center facilities and tobacco-free zones will include sidewalks, parking lots and garages.
See also: Maryland Zoo becomes smoke-free July 1
There will be no designated smoking or tobacco use areas and the policy applies to all employees, physicians, patients, vendors, volunteers, students and visitors.
On July 1, 2015, the medical center plans to stop hiring those who use tobacco products. The policy will not apply to people already working for the medical center.
"Going tobacco-free is a global public health goal. Smoking and tobacco use are the leading cause of preventable death worldwide," Stephen Cattaneo, medical director of thoracic oncology in the DeCesaris Cancer Institute at AAMC, said in a release.

No. 3 Notre Dame stays perfect, beats Wake 38-0
The victory virtually assures the Irish of a berth in a BCS game, even if it's not the title matchup.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, draped in leis after playing his final game at Notre Dame Stadium and handing out candy to anyone within reach, wasn't ready to make his argument that the Irish deserve to be in the title game.
"If we don't beat USC, there is no need to say whether you deserve it or not," he said. "You have to beat USC first. You can ask me that question after."
The Irish dominated on both sides of the ball, outgaining the Deacons 584 yards to 209. It was the first shutout for the Irish since a 35-0 win over Nevada in the season-opener in 2009 and their first shutout against a major conference team since a 42-0 victory over Rutgers in 2002.
"They jumped on us quick, got momentum, kept momentum rolling, and when the defense can't stop them, it's hard for the offense to really play hard," Wake Forest nose guard Nikita Whitlock said.
Tanner Price was 22 of 33 passing for 153 yards for Wake Forest with his longest pass for 16 yards. The Irish held the Demon Deacons to 55 yards rushing as Wake Forest dropped to 1-4 on the road this season.
"They were where they needed to be and they just force you to execute," Tanner said. "Obviously we weren't able to do that today."
After posting a 17-16 record at home the past five seasons, the Irish victory Saturday improved their record at Notre Dame Stadium to 6-0 this year. But this was the first time they made it look easy. The Irish needed overtime to beat Stanford, triple overtime to beat Pittsburgh and won the three other home games by a combined 13 points.
"We put it all together and played a complete game today," left tackle Zack Martin said.
Many Notre Dame students showed their respect by wearing yellow leis to honor Te'o, who is from Hawaii and who has played a key role in the Irish resurgence. Te'o, senior defensive end Kapron Lewis-Moore and senior safety Zeke Motta left to standing ovations with 13 minutes left.
"I wanted to make it a special moment for the seniors on defense. They have been obviously the rock. They've carried us while we were trying to find ourselves offensively," Kelly said. "It just seemed to me to be a pretty good gesture to allow us to honor those seniors."
When Notre Dame went 11-0 in 1989, the Irish were beaten by Miami in the regular season finale and finished the season ranked No. 2 behind the Hurricanes.
The last time the Irish headed to Los Angeles to play Southern Cal undefeated was a year earlier, in 1988, when the squad coached by Lou Holtz beat the second-ranked Trojans 27-10 en route to the school's last national championship.
Te'o said that's the only focus now.
"I don't care about anything else but winning and being part of this team," he said. "And now we have to work on USC, and beating USC."

Remember all those news reports during the financial crisis that thousands of cars were being abandoned at Dubai Airport as their owners fled the country? The image became a symbol of Dubai's fall from grace; the British media lapped it up.
But it seems that abandoning cars is a phenomenon not limited to the years of the financial crisis, rather a curious side effect of life in Dubai. Dubai Municipality has reported that 3,040 cars were abandoned in Dubai in the first three months of 2012 alone. That's over 1,000 cars per month simply left to rot on the streets, where they end up being used as makeshift rubbish skips.
If Dubai Municipality inspectors suspect that a car's been abandoned, a warning is placed on it for 15 days, after which it is taken to the pound, where it can be reclaimed by the owner for AED 700 (£116). A drive past the lot where these cars are kept shows that many of them are pretty nice, too – Range Rovers, Porsches, Jaguars, the odd supercar.
So what makes a person abandon a million-dollar supercar in the desert? The obvious answer is that, for various reasons, usually debts, they've done a runner – skipped the country and left the car, as was seen during the economic crisis. The UAE's insolvency laws criminalise bankruptcy and many whose businesses have collapsed, when faced with the choice of abandoning the car or being jailed, dump everything and flee.
Other cars are repossessed when the owners default on loans; some are confiscated after the driver commits traffic offences and are never reclaimed; and others are stolen. But many are abandoned, according to Dubai Police quoted in 7 Days newspaper, because the owners can't afford, or don't want to pay, the traffic fines – in some cases up to AED 100,000 (£16,666) – that they've racked up.
More interesting for car enthusiasts, though, is what happens next to these cars. After six months, if they're not reclaimed, they can be auctioned and, this Wednesday, you have your chance to bag yourself a bargain supercar: Dubai Police will be selling 23 "elite" motors at auction. Among the haul are a clutch of exclusive Porsches and Ferraris as well as the petrolhead's dream, a red Ferrari Enzo – one of only 399 ever to be made.
Bidders have to pay a deposit of AED 50,000 (£8,333) but, if you just want to watch the fun, entry to the auction costs AED 110 (£18.30). Jeremy Clarkson, we'll see you there.

The San Antonio Spurs have signed forward JaMychal Green, according to a press release by the team.
The San Antonio Spurs today announced that they have signed forward JaMychal Green. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not announced.
Green, 6-8/230, was a member of the Spurs 2014 Summer League team in Las Vegas. In six games he averaged 7.8 points and 6.5 rebounds in 16.2 minutes.
The Montgomery, Ala. native last season playing in the French Pro A League for Roanne, averaging 11.8 points and 6.6 rebounds in 22.1 minutes in 25 games while shooting .530 (122-230) from the field.
Shams Charania of RealGM says this is a two-year, partially guaranteed contract. And that makes sense, given the Spurs current roster construction. They have 14 guaranteed contracts, plus still have Aron Baynes who remains unsigned. I'd hypothesize that Baynes, Green, Bryce Cotton will compete for the final roster spot, with a plan for the other two to potentially go to the Spurs' D-League affiliate, the Austin Toros. Baynes will probably have a leg up on the other two though, meaning Green especially will need to show up in excellent shape to have a chance at winning that spot.
Green played last season in the French League with Roanne, where he averaged nearly 12 points and seven rebounds in 22 minutes per contest. At 6'9 with a 7'2 wingspan, he excels particularly on the boards. He's also a guy you don't have to worry about playing hard on both ends, as his intensity and energy shows through every time he steps on the floor. That was particularly evident this summer, where Green performed well for the Spurs in Las Vegas.
His downsides are that he doesn't particularly have a refined offensive game, and he's still pretty skinny despite having put on nearly 15 pounds of what looks like muscle since his days at Alabama. Also, while his performance in Vegas showed that he's improved on the perimeter, he's never been great there to begin with. Basically, just imagine Green as a less athletic, taller version of Kenneth Faried. While no one has Faried's motor, Green works hard and those guys are never bad to have around. However, it's often hard to find a place for non-elite motor power forwards.
The Spurs do have some experience with Green after he spent all of 2012-13 with the Toros. Their coaches may have a better familiarity with him than they do with most other prospects, but I'm not sure that'll matter. Green will probably collect his small guarantee and head back over to Europe this season, where he can continue to star.

Zach Galifianakis
Sound, Fury and Firewater, Signifying Nothing: 'The Hangover Part II'
A seemingly interminable slog through the Bangkok underworld, where a familiar scenario plays itself out to the point of exhaustion for three wedding-bound wrecks – searching once more for a misplaced buddy – arrives by way of The Hangover Part II. Whether nostalgia in this case breeds delight or contempt depends on which aspects of the original Hangover (2009) you remember most fondly.
Zach Galifianakis Takes a Subtle Turn in Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden's 'Funny Story'
Zach Galifianakis understands that his breakthrough success in last year's The Hangover has left fans with certain expectations. They want a sequel to Todd Phillips' comedy about four guys (and one innocent babe) gone wild during a pre-wedding Vegas trip, and they'll get one in 2011. But more than that, they want Galifianakis, a veteran stand-up and onetime Saturday Night Live writer, to make them laugh.
Todd Phillips Delivers a Most Welcome 'Hangover'
Todd Phillips may never be afforded the same respect as his more venerated peers, if only because directors who spend their careers chronicling the foolishness of badly behaving men rarely do. But it's hard to ignore his track record.
Save for his remake of Robert Hamer's 1960 comedy School for Scoundrels, unseen by me but roundly dismissed by others, Phillips has earned justified praise for his affable depictions of testosterone-driven silliness in movies like Road Trip and Old School. The Hangover finds him going to the well once more, with results that are laughably deranged but hardly preposterous to anyone who's ever lost a weekend in Vegas.

Cindy Crawford back on front pageCindy Crawford has appeared on the front cover of British fashion magazine Vogue for the first time in ten years.
The 38-year-old supermodel, who is married to businessman Rande Gerber, posed for the raunchy range of photographs wearing a skintight see-through white mini-dress and shell jewellery while being drenched in water - a decade after her last cover shoot.
Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman said: "It's fantastic to have Cindy on the cover again. It's the ultimate pinup girl doing pinup pictures.
"She's something of a Vogue icon and it's so encouraging to see how terrific she still looks."
But despite maintaining her impeccable appearance and supermodel figure, the blonde beauty, who was once married to 'Pretty Woman' star Richard Gere, admitted she doesn't dress so provocatively at home.
She said: "Mini skirts may look great on a girl of 25, but I'm 38 and I'd only wear one on the beach."
Since her last cover shoot, sexy Cindy has launched her own skincare range, starred in three movies and given birth to two children, five-year-old Presley and Kaya, two.
But last year the mother-of-two ran into trouble with anti-fur campaigners after signing up to model a range of mink coats for American fashion house Blackglama-ten years after posing naked for animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Open to the public.
RSVP required by 5PM February 18.
The Chinese bureaucracy presents a set of anomalies that need to be explained: In the presence of a strong central authority, why do we observe widespread collusive behaviors at the local level? Why are violations and problems uncovered in the inspection processes are left unaddressed? Why is performance evaluation conducted by the higher authorities is subsequently ignored by the local authorities? We develop a theoretical model on authority relationships in the Chinese bureaucracy by conceptualizing the allocation of control rights in goal setting, inspection and incentive provision among the principal, supervisor and agent. Variations in the allocation of control rights give rise to different modes of governance and entail distinct behavioral implications among the parties involved. The proposed model provides a unified framework and a set of analytical concepts to examine different governance structures, varying authority relationships, and behavioral patterns in the Chinese bureaucracy. We illustrate the proposed model in a case study of authority relationships and the ensuing behavioral patterns in the environmental protection arena over a 5-year policy cycle.
About the speaker:
Xueguang Zhou is the Kwoh-Ting Li Professor in Economic Development, a professor of sociology, and a Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies senior fellow. His main area of research is on institutional changes in contemporary Chinese society, focusing on Chinese organizations and management, social inequality, and state-society relationships. Zhou's research topics are related to the making of markets, village elections, and local government behaviors. His recent publications examine the role of bureaucracy in public goods provision in rural China (Modern China, 2011); interactions among peasants, markets, and capital (China Quarterly, 2011); access to financial resources in Chinese enterprises (Chinese Sociological Review, 2011, with Lulu Li); multiple logics in village elections (Social Sciences in China, 2010, with Ai Yun); and collusion among local governments in policy implementation (Research in the Sociology of Organizations, 2011, with Ai Yun and Lian Hong; and Modern China, 2010) .

One of the most quotable and riotously funny characters in popular culture at the moment has to be the anti-hero that is Kenny Powers from HBO's "Eastbound & Down," the brain child of Danny McBride, David Gordon-Green, Jody Hill and Ben Best.
After the recent addition of Jason Sudekis (who's also set to return on the new season of another comedy favorite, "It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia") to the third and final season of the show, two stars who have previously chimed in with cameo appearances -- Will Ferrell and Matthew McConaughey, who respectively played BMW dealership owner Ashley Schaeffer and gay player scout Roy McDaniel -- are now set to reprise their roles for Powers' swan song.
The return of both thespians promises great characters for McBride to bounce off of with the reunion of Powers and Ferrell's Schaeffer to be interesting viewing, considering Powers last run-in with the Schaeffer character ended up with the foul-mouthed, short-tempered former Major League pitcher blinding Craig Robinson's character with a pitch to the eye during a pitching contest organized by Schaeffer. It's expected Steve Little and Katy Mixon, who plays Powers' sidekick and the mother of his unborn child, will feature heavily while semi-regulars Ben Best, John Hawkes, Jennifer Irwin and Adam Scott are also likely to also make an appearance somewhere down the line.
The final season will see Powers heading to Myrtle Beach to play for their Minor League team at Pelican Stadium, the Mermens, with lensing to take place on location this summer. Below is the faux-ad for K-Swiss featuring the White Flame himself as well. [THR/BadassDigest/SlashFilm]

Personal Summary
I have traveled several different paths to get to UM's Environmental Studies program, with each path contributing an important thread. My undergraduate studies in geology at Carleton College had a strong field orientation, and I taught field camp for several summers in the Tobacco Root Mountains of SW Montana, as well as field seasons in Costa Rica, the Yukon, and the Cascades. Graduate programs at Union Theological Seminary in New York helped me to integrate my natural sciences background with ethical and social justice issues, particularly Latin American liberation theology. During the 1980s I was actively involved in human rights issues in Latin America while directing Latin American programs at the Center for Global Education (www.augsburg.edu/global/) in Minneapolis.
Prior to beginning teaching at the University of Montana in 2002, I taught for ten years in a Philosophy and Religion program at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa. There I focused on issues of sustainable community and sustainable land use, and first began to work on ecological restoration in several projects to restore the tall grass prairie. I also organized several classes around "Greening the Drake Campus" where students developed projects such as urban gardens and wind power to try to make the campus more environmentally sustainable. Each spring I took a group of Drake students to Latin America to learn about environmental and social justice issues.

Research Interests
I have three primary areas of interest that inform my teaching and research: community participation in ecological restoration, environmental and social justice issues connected to economic globalization, and the intersection of religion, ecology, and environmental ethics.
My partner is a restoration ecologist, and I have become interested and involved in a diverse set of projects in Montana involving community participation in ecological restoration. My 594 class, Ethical Issues in Ecological Restoration, focuses on the upper Clark Fork River watershed and the superfund process now under way to clean up the Clark Fork River and restore the riparian zones. I have partnered with the Clark Fork Coalition (www.clarkfork.org/) in this class where students work with community members in and around Deer Lodge, Montana, to design projects that aid the community's participation in the restoration of the Deer Lodge valley.
I have been leading two-week travel seminars to Latin America with the Center for Global Education (www.augsburg.edu/global/) since 1984, and each year I continue to organize and lead a two-week travel seminar to Nicaragua and Guatemala in alternate years (Guatemala: 2004, 2006, 2008; Nicaragua: 2005, 2007). I am working to place interested graduate students in field sites in Central America for thesis work with the diverse nongovernmental organizations working there on issues of environmental sustainability, social justice, and sustainable agriculture.
I remain active in the Religion and Ecology section (www.religionandnature.com/aar/) of the American Academy of Religion (www.aarweb.org/), which I chaired for several years in the 1990s. My graduate class, "The Greening of Religion: Religion, Nature, and the Environment" examines how diverse religious traditions are responding to the environmental crisis and what resources religion and spirituality can offer toward a constructive response. One of our main sources for this investigation is Harvard's Forum on Religion and Ecology (www.religionandecology.org/).
Field of Study
Globalization and the Environment; Environmental Issues in Latin America, Ecological Restoration and Community Participation in Restoration; Environmental Ethics, Philosophy, and Theology; Religion and Ecology
Currently I serve on the Missoula Open Space Advisory Committee (http://www.ci.missoula.mt.us/505/Open-Space-Advisory), a citizen advisory board charged with "doing everything in its power to implement the Missoula Urban Area Open Space Plan and provide the Council with written recommendations concerning open space conservation proposals, including proposed acquisitions and trail development proposals, pursuant to the guidance of the Missoula Urban Area Open Space Plan." Other recent board service includes the Wild Rockies Field Institute (www.wrfi.net/) and the Alumni Board of Union Theological Seminary (www.uts.columbia.edu/). I also have served on the History and Culture Committee of the Milltown Working Group, a citizens group working to restore the Clark Fork River and its communities once Milltown Dam (5 miles upstream from Missoula) is removed (see: www.cfrtac.org/ ; www.friendsof2rivers.org/ ; http://www.epa.gov/region8/superfund/mt/milltown/). I am interested in community involvement in ecological restoration, and in June, 2006, I gave the keynote opening address to the Montana Governor's Forum on Restoration in Billings. I belong to and try to be active in several local and regional environmental groups, including the Clark Fork Coalition (www.clarkfork.org/), Five Valleys Land Trust (www.fvlt.org/), the Montana Wilderness Association (www.wildmontana.org/), and Wilderness Watch (http://www.wildernesswatch.org/).

Skype announced on Thursday that it has updated its Windows and Mac clients to provide Facebook video calling.
The new feature allows Facebook Skype users to initiate video calls from within Skype to other Facebook users. The video calling feature will only work Facebook-to-Facebook for now and requires users to download a new beta version of Skype. "This new development in the Skype-Facebook partnership is the latest example of how Skype is removing communication barriers and making it easier to connect with friends, family and business colleagues," said Skype's Rick Osterloh in a blog post on Thursday. Skype has also updated its Windows and Mac clients to include video rendering. The feature provides a smoother video experience for Mac users and group sharing users on Windows.
Facebook announced a video calling service earlier this year, powered by Microsoft's Skype service. The service allows Facebook users to simply call a friend from a button at the top of an existing chat window. Facebook's latest video feature sees Microsoft's Skype service integrated fully into Facebook. Skype and Facebook users can also exchange chat messages using the Skype service. Microsoft has been working closely with Facebook for its Windows Phone, Hotmail, Bing and Windows Live integration. Facebook's messaging system also uses Microsoft's Office Web Apps suite. Facebook users can also view Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents in their browser.
Microsoft is now expected to deliver its Windows Phone 7.5 Skype application in the coming weeks. The company previously introduced the Skype app during MIX 2011 earlier this year. Joe Belfiore, who oversees Windows Phone Program Management, introduced a number of new developer related enhancements in Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. "We're excited to see Skype come to the platform this fall when all these additional enhancements are available," said Belfiore at the time. The application should be one of the first to take advantage of Microsoft's new forward facing camera support.

Not for pairing cell phone
This review is from: GE 30385EE1 2-line Operation Corded Phone with Bluetooth Technology Integrated Answering Machine
Pros: Works great with Bluetooth headset. Beats my coily cord plantronics. The voice mail is great. I bought it for the Caller ID, which works well.
Cons: THIS IS NOT FOR PAIRING YOUR CELL PHONE! I made that mistake. It only will download your address book. The DND (Do Not Disturb) is not configurable for auto shut off. If you don't turn the DND off, it will not time out.
Other Thoughts: I am disappointed that the BT sharing with cell phone will only let you download address book.

Paper Chase
Transcriptional profiling of stroma from inflamed and resting lymph nodes defines immunological hallmarks.
Department of Cancer Immunology and AIDS, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Lymph node stromal cells (LNSCs) closely regulate immunity and self-tolerance, yet key aspects of their biology remain poorly elucidated. Here, comparative transcriptomic analyses of mouse LNSC subsets demonstrated the expression of important immune mediators, growth factors and previously unknown structural components. Pairwise analyses of ligands and cognate receptors across hematopoietic and stromal subsets suggested a complex web of crosstalk. Fibroblastic reticular cells (FRCs) showed enrichment for higher expression of genes relevant to cytokine signaling, relative to their expression in skin and thymic fibroblasts. LNSCs from inflamed lymph nodes upregulated expression of genes encoding chemokines and molecules involved in the acute-phase response and the antigen-processing and antigen-presentation machinery. Poorly studied podoplanin (gp38)-negative CD31(-) LNSCs showed similarities to FRCs but lacked expression of interleukin 7 (IL-7) and were identified as myofibroblastic pericytes that expressed integrin α(7). Together our data comprehensively describe the transcriptional characteristics of LNSC subsets.

Hezbollah chief urges Lebanon protests against film deemed offensive to Islam; vows 'Those responsible, starting with United States, must be held accountable'
Eyal Lehmann
Published: 09.16.12, 22:29 / Israel News
Eyal Lehmann
Hezbollah Chief Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah
on Sunday urged nationwide protests in Lebanon
against "Muslim Innocence"
– a film deemed offensive to the Prophet Mohammad that has sparked anti-US riots worldwide.
Nasrallah warned that the film represented "an unprecedented insult to the followers of the Prophet Mohammad,"
and blamed the "Zionist
and American regimes" for perpetrating a derision "worse than all previous offenses against Islam, the Koran and
the messenger of Allah," Nasrallah said.
Related stories:
"I think this is a major, very dangerous and unprecedented insult to Muslims," Nasrallah said in a televised speech.

"All these developments are being orchestrated by US intelligence," he added, saying that the US government was using the excuse of freedom of speech
in order to justify the continued broadcast of the film.
chief condemned the film as being "Even worse than the arson at Al-Aqsa Mosque."
The Al-Aqsa Mosque,
Islam's third holiest site, which is located in the Old City of Jerusalem, was set on fire in 1969 and suffered severe damage to its southeastern wing.
Film protest in Egypt (Photo: AP)
"A nation that abides such an offense against its Prophet signals to the Israelis that they can go ahead and demolish Al-Aqsa," he warned.
Nasrallah further said that the film sought to ignite a religious war between Muslims and Christians and lauded Christian clerics who denounced the film as offensive.

My second Wood-fired oven build
by cannyfradock
Built my second Wood-fired oven a while back and here are some pics of the build. The walls were brick exterior with a thermolite block inner wall which supported the re-enforced concrete slab. On top of the slab I laid flat thermolite blocks as my insulation layer, then laid my fire-brick hearth/cooking surface.
The dome was built from (half) fire-bricks then covered with a thermal blanket. On the blanket I laid a layer of vermecrete (vermiculite, cement and water)...finally a couple of coats of waterproof render was laid.
The oven was built for my boss last summer as a trade for fixing my roof (I think he got the better deal). He uses it very often and all his family (wife and 3 kids) all get involved with dough making and preparing their own pizza and bread.
A more detailed account of the build can be followed here.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aC_K2LwF … hIUdqgnsg=

I admire your brickwork...I've toyed with the idea myself but my wife digs her heels in. She has allowed me to upgrade our grill into a full blown outdoor kitchen so we'll see if this is satisying enough. I'll post some photos when its done...great slideshow and a really nice looking oven. Enjoy!

Thank-you for your kind comments and ...the thumbs up. I'm a "catch up" baker...always trying to improve myself with home baking, but, I love building these wood-fired ovens and try to pass on my knowledge and experience on to any enthusiasts who want to build their own Wood-fired oven through my WFO forum. http://ukwoodfiredovenforum.proboards.com/index.cgi
