Two Lady Bearcats set new district records Saturday afternoon at the Class 1, District 7 meet held at St. Joseph Christian.
Senior Sydnee McGlothlin's lone victory of the meet was good enough to set the new mark of 112 feet in winning the discus. Samantha Fulte set a new record in the triple jump with her leap of 35-6. It was just one of four first-place finishes for the Lady Bearcat junior. Fulte won the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 17.2 seconds, in addition to crossing the line in 50.31 for a victory in the 300-meter hurdles. She also had the winning leap of 16 feet in the long jump.
Madison Fulte qualified for two events at Saturday's sectional meet in Kearney. Fulte finished third in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 18.32, and was fourth in the long jump with a distance of 33-1 ½. Marisa Swartz advanced with her third-place time of 14:18.6 in the 3,200 meters, with senior Madison Endsley qualifying for two events. Endsley had a throw of 104-11 in the discus to finish in third place and was fourth in the shot put with a distance of 33-1 ½.

When it comes to high yield, no one beats Tom Brady in the NFL.
He's gone from a 2000 sixth-round draft pick (No. 199 overall) to a three-time Super Bowl winner and record-breaking future Hall of Famer who has crept into the conversation of the No. 1 quarterback of all time.
PHOTOS: High yield players in NFL, MLB and NBA
Brady's competitive drive was responsible for his rapid rise in New England, and his continued motivation to be the best—like his idol Joe Montana—is tied to how much he was disrespected as a draft prospect just 13 years ago.
Now, the 35-year-old is a $60 million man who wants to show just how much time he has left. He also has had the highest of yields off the field, with his marriage to an even richer supermodel.

Editor, Microsoft on the Issues
On Friday the White House released the findings of a comprehensive 90-day review of big data that makes recommendations on how the government and the private sector can balance privacy concerns with the need to spur innovation and maximize the opportunities of big data. Microsoft provided input to the study and supports the recommendations in included this report. Big data holds tremendous promise for society and it's important that government policy promotes its effective use.
We will continue working with lawmakers to make tougher privacy protections a reality because we believe the promise of big data will not be reached unless approaches are established to address privacy and civil liberties concerns.

An author is facing accusations that he lied in his best-selling book that details his near-death experience and what he says was his journey to heaven and back.
Neurosurgeon Eben Alexander III has been touring the country and inspiring people since publishing "Proof of Heaven" in 2012. He has appeared on "Oprah," "Fox & Friends" and on the cover of Newsweek, and his book has sold almost 2 million copies.
But his story recently came under fire in an in-depth investigative profile by Luke Dittrich in Esquire magazine. Dittrich, an Esquire contributing editor, says he found incorrect details in the book and uncovered malpractice lawsuits against Alexander where Alexander admitted lying to cover his mistakes. Dittrich says this pattern of deception led him to conclude that Alexander was essentially down on his luck when he became sick and used the near-death experience to reinvent himself.
Alexander was born in Charlotte, N.C., went to the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and later Duke University's medical school. He is a famed neurosurgeon who has taught at Harvard Medical School. He lives in Lynchburg, Va.
He became ill with a virus in 2008 that placed him in a weeklong coma and almost killed him. During that time, Alexander said, he visited heaven and saw fantastical sights and met a being who told him he was loved.
"Proof of Heaven" is just one of many books about people who have had near-death experiences and say they saw heaven. The authors often tell of beautiful light, meeting dead loved ones and of the overwhelming and all-encompassing presence of God. Other well-known books include "90 Minutes in Heaven" and "Heaven Is for Real," which details the experience of a 4-year-old child.
What makes Alexander's account stand out from others' near-death experiences is his background in science and neurosurgery. Alexander has said that when he first woke up he thought his memories of heaven weren't real. But as he applied his knowledge of the brain as a neurosurgeon, he said he finally had to accept that his experience actually happened.
Alexander said his medical records, which have not been released, show that he had no activity in his brain's cortex at the time, making him unable to hallucinate or dream the experience - therefore it must have happened to his soul, outside of the physical realm.
But according to Dittrich in his article published this month, a doctor who treated Alexander said that he was put in a medically induced coma which he came out of multiple times, "conscious but delirious," meaning Alexander had the brain activity needed to have hallucinated the trip to heaven. Dittrich also shows other events in the book to be false. For example, National Weather Service data show that the rainbow Alexander claimed appeared when he woke up could not have happened.
"I think there are some extraordinary claims in that book, and they require investigation," Dittrich said in an interview. "So that's what I did, I investigated it."
Alexander could not be reached for comment last week; a representative from his publisher, Simon & Schuster, said he is traveling and won't be available for interviews until the fall. But Alexander did release a statement.
"I stand by every word in this book and have made its message the purpose of my life," he wrote. "Esquire's cynical article distorts the facts of my 25-year career as a neurosurgeon and is a textbook example of how unsupported assertions and cherry-picked information can be assembled at the expense of the truth."
That's not how Dittrich sees it.
"People buy something that's sold to them as non-fiction called 'Proof of Heaven,' and the account is based on a variety of things, including the professional credentials of the person who's telling the story," Dittrich said. "I think readers deserve to know the full story, and I don't think that full story was presented in the book at all."
It is Alexander's claim of proof, rather than the telling of a subjective experience, that has frustrated critics.
Writing in the Atlantic magazine last December, Dr. Oliver Sacks, a professor of neurology at the NYU School of Medicine, said Alexander's account didn't prove anything. Sacks has written frequently on the functions of the brain, including, "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat."
"The one most plausible hypothesis in Dr. Alexander's case, then, is that his (near-death experience) occurred not during his coma, but as he was surfacing from the coma and his cortex was returning to full function," Sacks writes. "It is curious that he does not allow this obvious and natural explanation, but instead insists on a supernatural one."
But others disagree with these criticisms. John Bond Gillam III, Alexander's cousin and president of the Outer Banks Relief Foundation, said he read Dittrich's article in Esquire and understood its arguments but thinks they are wrong. Gillam said whether Alexander's brain was conscious during the coma is a matter of semantics.
"He has a great message, and his near-death experience brings great hope, brings peace and brings love," he said. "I don't know why anyone would want to negate that to prove a point."
Alexander is scheduled to give talks in Kill Devil Hills and other Outer Banks communities in August, and Gillam said attendees aren't concerned about the Esquire article.
"As far as the people I've talked to who've read the article, it's a total non-issue," he said.
Robert Mays, a near-death experience researcher and treasurer of the International Association for Near Death Studies based in Durham, N.C., said the Esquire article presents a distorted and unfair picture of Alexander's experience. Mays said the article's individual arguments either don't show the full picture or can be explained.
But as a researcher, Mays also acknowledged that the book doesn't offer undisputed proof of heaven.
"I think his is as compelling as many other near-death experiences, and how compelling it is depends upon who you're trying to convince," Mays said.
For instance, even though there are many accounts of near-death experiences that include unexplainable circumstances, Mays said a skeptical scientist would not be convinced something involving a soul occurred. That scientist would require the phenomenon to be repeated in a controlled experiment to believe the experience was anything more than a hallucination.
But for those who have had their own near-death experience and seen heaven, the knowledge of what they saw and felt, along with the similar accounts of others such as Alexander, is enough proof, he said.
"The whole idea of proof is problematic," said Mays. "It really depends upon, 'What does it take to prove?'"

London, August 16 (ANI): English singer-songwriter Tulisa Contostavlos reportedly found the word 'slut' scratched on the side of her 100,000 pounds car.
The former X Factor judge believes she knows who damaged her flash Audi and the upset singer immediately sent her expensive Audi for bodywork repairs, the Metro reported.
According to the Daily Star, this incident and all the negative attention along with the abuse Tulisa has been receiving on Twitter is weighing her down and she has started to believe that the world is conspiring against her.
Sources revealed that the 25-year old 'I Need You' singer discovered the damage when she returned to her London home this week. (ANI)

Kate Gosselin's Kids Not Expelled, Working With Tutor
Looks like Kate Gosselin has been studying up on Damage Control 101.
The 35-year-old single mom sat down with Entertainment Tonight to clear up rumors that 6-year-old sextuplets Collin and Alexis were expelled from school earlier this month for bad behavior.
"Two of my children are being tutored at home with a teacher who is working closely with our kindergarten teachers in school," Kate explained, adding that her kids are "doing the identical curriculum."
So why did the "Kate Plus 8" star decide to pull her children out of the classroom?
"The pressure was getting to them. You have the divorce anger mixed in with that. They need some breathing time," Kate told ET. "The goal is to get them back into school as soon as possible."
In the meantime, Kate says, the family is focused on preparing for Thanksgiving, which will be shared with her ex-husband, Jon.
"We have been able to work out the holiday time peacefully," Kate said. "I will have the first half, Jon will have the second half, and we just take it year by year, holiday by holiday."

Socratic Citizenship
Many critics bemoan the lack of civic engagement in America. Tocqueville's ''nation of joiners'' seems to have become a nation of alienated individuals, disinclined to fulfill the obligations of citizenship or the responsibilities of self-government. In response, the critics urge community involvement and renewed education in the civic virtues. But what kind of civic engagement do we want, and what sort of citizenship should we encourage? In Socratic Citizenship, Dana Villa takes issue with those who would reduce citizenship to community involvement or to political participation for its own sake. He argues that we need to place more value on a form of conscientious, moderately alienated citizenship invented by Socrates, one that is critical in orientation and dissident in practice.
Taking Plato's Apology of Socrates as his starting point, Villa argues that Socrates was the first to show, in his words and deeds, how moral and intellectual integrity can go hand in hand, and how they can constitute importantly civic--and not just philosophical or moral--virtues. More specifically, Socrates urged that good citizens should value this sort of integrity more highly than such apparent virtues as patriotism, political participation, piety, and unwavering obedience to the law. Yet Socrates' radical redefinition of citizenship has had relatively little influence on Western political thought. Villa considers how the Socratic idea of the thinking citizen is treated by five of the most influential political thinkers of the past two centuries--John Stuart Mill, Friedrich Nietzsche, Max Weber, Hannah Arendt, and Leo Strauss. In doing so, he not only deepens our understanding of these thinkers' work and of modern ideas of citizenship, he also shows how the fragile Socratic idea of citizenship has been lost through a persistent devaluation of independent thought and action in public life.
Engaging current debates among political and social theorists, this insightful book shows how we must reconceive the idea of good citizenship if we are to begin to address the shaky fundamentals of civic culture in America today.
"An exceptional book, well written and instructive at every point."--Choice
"This book deserves a wide, appreciative readership, both for the importance of the argument and for the depth and breadth of the interpretations that support it."--Gerald Mara, American Political Science Review
"Villa has put his finger on the tension to which liberals and deliberative democrats will have to devote ever more attention, and he has written an informative and stimulating book."--Cillian McBride, Philosophy in Review
"In this extraordinary work Dana Villa gives us a deep, detailed, and provocative account of what five very difficult thinkers made of the prospects for Socratic integrity in the context of modern citizenship. His pursuit of the thematic concerns is masterly."--Jeremy Waldron, Columbia University
"Socratic Citizenship is elegantly written, and its lucidity, thoughtfulness, generosity, and unhurried pace invite readers to think with it. Villa's command of the texts is effortless and the scholarship is unpretentious."--J. Peter Euben, University of California, Santa Cruz

Hi everyone.
I don't post often, but I lurk fairly regularly. I love this board and learn a lot from you all. I decided to post because I am awake in the middle of the night after treating a low and cannot get back to sleep.
Woke about 45 mins ago to check DS; he was 58. Got a juice box and, as usual, he sucked it empty within 10 seconds while remaining completely asleep. He does this often, and he will have no memory of this in the morning. I was just wondering how common this is. How do you treat middle-of-the-night lows? Do your kids stay completely asleep?
(BTW, he came back up. He went to bed a little above 200. Per our endo's instructions, we did not treat the 200. People sometimes ask me why I check him every night. This is why. What if I hadn't caught the 58?)
Thanks for your replies!

Optimists associate aging with wisdom. The rest of us associate it with wrinkles. Leading experts offer their wisdom on erasing lines, staying sexy, and looking your best at every age.
Laura Berman is one gutsy woman. Eighteen years ago, she helped to devise a groundbreaking approach to treating women's problems with sexual desire. As founder and director of the Berman Center Clinics in Chicago, she tackles everything from self-image to low libido with a combination of medical and psychological treatments. Now, the author of The Passion Prescription (Hyperion) and assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology and psychiatry at the Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University dares women of all ages to make a few bold moves of their own.
What are the health benefits of sex?
Sex is an integral part of well-being. I've been treating women for two decades and I've seen the toll an unsatisfying sex life can take on a woman's emotional and physical health. Great sex can stave off all sorts of age-related problems, from weakened immune systems to chronic stress. For one, it releases feel-good chemicals, like endorphins and oxytocin, before and during climax. Plus, it can lower blood pressure and increase cardiovascular health.
Are there common sexual problems at different stages of a woman's life?
Well, I like to see them as challenges, not problems. There are challenges of desire, orgasm, and pelvic pain—and women can experience those at any age. With each decade, it becomes more a question of what's behind those challenges. When you're in your 20s, you're at your physiological peak; hormones are high, but your awareness of your sexual response and your body confidence are remarkably low. A twentysomething woman tends to be less comfortable taking the lead. She also tends to experience low desire from an inability to experience orgasm. It's not until her 30s that she learns to take the reins and feel more confident. She's willing to try new things, which translates into more exciting sex. But at the same time, her hormones are working against her. In her mid-30s, her testosterone levels begin to drop, which leads to lower genital sensation. Even though her emotional fabric is solid and working in her favor for better sex, her hormones are not. By the time she's in her 40s, she's potentially had children. Her pelvic floor muscles, which are crucial to having great orgasms, are weaker. She also might notice a drop in her sexual response due to dryness from low estrogen levels.
Do you believe that women have an age where they peak sexually?
Thankfully, our attitudes about what is sexy and at what age are starting to loosen, and now we have more sexually powerful older women. It's unfortunate when women think of themselves as moving past their prime. Instead, think of all the confidence you're gaining: You're taking care of yourself; you have a life that you've built for yourself. That makes you more sexually attractive. That's far more important than wrinkle-free skin and fitting into size 4 jeans.
But sexuality is connected to physical appearance.
Certainly when you don't feel beautiful, it's hard to have great sex. You feel self-conscious, you avoid certain positions, and overall, you don't feel present. What's ironic is that younger women often can't enjoy sex because they aren't able to recognize their own beauty. And you end up robbing yourself of so much when you can't do that. Plus, when a woman does have good sex, it creates a cascade of positive feelings and sexual feelings from her partner and the opposite sex in general—regardless of how she looks.
How can you feel happy with your own appearance, at any age?
Forge a connection with your body. Identify the parts of it that you truly love, whether it's beautiful skin, nice legs, or pretty toes. And then build from that. If you focus on all of the things you want to change, you'll never get out of that emotional gutter, and you'll never fully enjoy great sex.
How would you define beauty?
I don't think there is just one definition. I think beauty is all in the way you see yourself. I've known women who radiate peace and warmth, and that's surely attractive. That being said, I think beauty is about taking pride in your appearance and not getting complacent. Taking good care of your body, putting makeup on, being well-groomed&these things not only give you more confidence, but send a sign to your partner that you value his attraction just as you did in the beginning of your relationship.
What's your opinion on getting cosmetic surgery?
I think that it's a slippery slope. If you try to stave off aging at all costs, you lose sight of what is real. You become a plastic representation of yourself. We're doing ourselves a disservice by not celebrating our wrinkles as signs of wisdom and power and experience. In my core, I still am against all of that because it pushes us toward reaching for an unrealistic ideal. But I've seen women in my clinic who couldn't enjoy sex because they were so depressed over their so-called "toothpaste-tube breasts" as they got older. I can do body image building work with them until I'm blue in the face, and that won't change the fact that a certain body part is incapacitating for them; it's preventing them from enjoying sex. If getting a set of saline implants will help them embrace sex, (I can't frown on it.

I've had it with the AV campaign. The claims of the no camp are, largely, spurious inventions – it won't lead to more coalitions than First Past The Post, benefit the BNP, kill babies and soldiers or mean some people get more than one vote. The claims of the Yes camp are also, largely, spurious inventions – it won't abolish safe seats (just move them around), MPs by and large aren't lazy lackadaisical scum who need to be whipped like recalcitrant mules and it won't mean a more collegiate, intellectual politics.
AV has some admitted advantages over First Past The Post – preference voting is simply a better way of expressing nuanced political choices. "I'd like this person, but if not then this person, that person and this other person and, quite frankly, the local independent crack pot to a Tory" is a good thing to have in a country where around a 3rd of voters don't vote for one of the two main parties. It also has disadvantages – electoral landslides are likely to be bigger under AV than they would under FPTP for instance and 2nd parties are likely to be further under represented when overall opposition size remains the same.
First Past The Post isn't great, but it suffices. AV is only marginally better than FPTP on most criteria. Yes or No, we will have largely the same results of largely the same campaigns. The one major change this referendum has had is to block any move towards PR for a decade or more.
If No wins, then there's a tacit endorsement of FPTP. If Yes wins, we'll have just changed the system. The Great British Public would, quite rightly, ask "but weren't you saying just a few years ago AV was what we should move to?". The constitution is not something to be trifled with lightly. We can't put ourselves in a situation where we alter the voting system again after it's only been used a handful of times.
The only hope for PR, therefore, is to call the legitimacy of the referendum itself into question. I had hoped that the threshold amendment would pass, and there'd be a majority for Yes but not enough of one to force a change. That way there'd be a case to be made that we should have a more open referendum, one run on AV which offered a number of options – STV, AV+, List PR, AV and FPTP. Sadly, that was knocked down by the Tories with Lib Dem help, as was Caroline Lucas' motion to just add STV as an option.
I can't bring myself to vote No – on the question asked, I'm in favour of AV. But it's not what I want. So I'm going to do something I've never done before. I'm going to spoil my ballot. I'm going to add an STV option and rank that 1. I'll rank AV 2. If sufficient people do this to make the noticeable, and AV loses like it looks likely to, maybe we can call the legitimacy of the referendum into question.
There's precedent for looking at spoilt ballots in detail, after the 2007 Scottish election the Gould inquiry did this. It's a bit gesture politics, but AV is only a gesture towards meaningful reform and, even if the spoilt ballots would have swung it in favour of AV otherwise, its loss on that basis is not a great hardship. Reform for reforms sake is meaningless, it won't provide momentum for PR and is perhaps likely to delay any move to PR.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Combining biological parts is currently a very difficult. Parts are connected in the hopes that the levels of POPS or RIPS will match. Currently, though, we do not have enough information to predict whether two parts will, in fact, function correctly. If, for instance, we connect two inverters in series, it is quite possible that switching the output of the first inverter will not be able to switch the second. Previous attempts to measure these levels have been unsuccessful. We hope to learn from this and try again.
As such, I am building a set of POPS based screening plasmids. If all goes as planned, these plasmids will allow us to measure the transfer functions of parts (inverters or other) in units which are proportional to POPS (with the same constant of proportionality for the part's input and output). We will then try to pair up parts and verify that the behavior is as expected.

Local hockey player earns role as captain for NCAA Division I program
By Mark Vest
Posted November 6, 2013
Scott Czarnowczan
Scott Czarnowczan began his hockey career at the age of 2. This season, he'll wrap up his college career and perhaps begin the next chapter of the hockey career.
Czarnowczan, who attended Utica Eisenhower and lives in Macomb, is a defenseman for Ferris State University. And after playing in various leagues throughout the course of his playing days, Czarnowczan has made it to a level he wanted to be since childhood — all the way to the NCAA.
From Czarowczan's perspective, the opportunity to play hockey at the Division I level has lived up to his expectations.
"It's been awesome," he said. "My four years here, so far, have been really good. Everything I've wanted has been here."
Since joining the Bulldogs, Czarnowczan has been a Ferris State Rookie of the Year Award recipient, earned the role of an assistant captain during his sophomore campaign, and this season, as a junior, he has been named as a team captain.
The kind of accolades Czarnowczan has earned don't happen by accident, as he has received support from his family, as well as Steve Dickinson, who coached him at the midget league level, and Jon Cooper, who was his junior hockey coach. Cooper is now the head coach of the Tampa Bay Lightning of the National Hockey League. It was Cooper who passed along a lesson that Czarowczan can apply on and off the ice.
"There's no goals high enough. You can always go higher," he said. "That's what I'm kind of aiming for. Last year (a shoulder injury had him in and out of the lineup) goes to show how quick something can take your career away. I guess, never (take) it for granted anymore. Keep living your life. Do the best I can every day at hockey, and at life."
While individual accomplishments may be nice, it can be a lot more fun to share success with teammates, and Czarnowczan had the opportunity to do that when the Bulldogs made it all the way to the NCAA Division I national final game in 2012 (Ferris was defeated by Boston College 4-1). That was the furthest Ferris' hockey program has ever gone, and Czarnowczan wouldn't mind having some more fun this season.
"Win our conference, go to playoffs, (and) hopefully, win playoffs," Czarnowczan said of team goals. "Hopefully, that leads us to the (NCAA) tournament, and another run for the national title. That's our goal as a team. I want our team to do well and have my last year be another memory for me to never forget."
Although Czarowczan is majoring in criminal justice, it is a career he may want to put on hold for a while after graduation.
"My goal is to make it to the NHL, or at least sign with one of the affiliate teams in the AHL," he said. "I've been told by coaches I can play (at) the next level. Excited to see where this year will take me, 'til my next year."

A growing number of employees are working from home, either on a full-time or part-time basis, an arrangement that can have significant advantages for employers.
Businesses no longer need to worry about transportation strikes or inclement weather preventing workers from getting to the office – their ability to work from home means no business hours are lost.
Employers that do offer remote working report reduced overhead costs, increased productivity, better staff motivation, and higher employee retention. Despite the obvious advantages, there are practical and legal considerations that firms should undertake before implementing remote working.
Employers should treat any requests for flexible working arrangements (informal or otherwise) with care. Failure to do so can be costly. Typically, far more women than men seek flexible working arrangements like home working. Therefore a failure, without good reason, by an employer to acquiesce to a request could result in a costly discrimination claim, for example.
When considering or agreeing to a request to work remotely, employers need to bear in mind the following points:
- Attending the office – A specific right to require employees to attend office premises (for example, for team meetings) should be included in the contract.
- Monitoring hours/supervision – Consideration should be given as to how working hours and the quality of the output will be monitored.
- Expenses and tax – Who will pick up the expenses bill? For example, travel expenses to attend the office, heating and lighting costs, insurance premiums. There also will be tax considerations.
- Equipment and IT systems – Who will provide equipment and who will pay for it? Also, use and monitoring of communications systems might need to be adapted for remote workers.
- Insurance – Additional insurance policies may be needed, for example in relation to company equipment used at the employee's home.
- Confidential information and data protection – Are additional security requirements needed? For example, locking away confidential information at night.
- Right to enter – Employers should reserve the right in the contract to enter the employee's home, for example to carry out health and safety checks, to install or maintain equipment, or to recover company property at the end of the employment.
Employers are responsible for ensuring that employees' places of work are safe and (as far as possible) free from health hazards. This responsibility does not stop just because an employee works from home. Therefore, risk assessments should be carried out.
Some remote workers might find it difficult to maintain healthy work/life balances. They also might become isolated and suffer from not having the same support mechanisms as those in the office (i.e. managers spotting signs of stress and lack of colleague support). Employers need to ensure that appropriate steps are in place to deal with these issues.
Although on the increase, remote working is still likely to be for the minority of employees. However, there are real benefits to employers of remote working and these should be embraced.

I can see that it was effective, and I hate to rain on the idea, but if I wasn't a fat person, and I wanted to look at the map this would piss me off no end, cos the giant red circle would be blotting the surroundng area of where I was, also, I don't necessarily associate 'size' with fatness; shaq is 26 stone, but he's not fat, just big. Also you get fat small people etc.
'Say it right, then say it great' - Hey Whipple! Squeeze this!
Beacuse it would piss them off, and so look negatively on their brand, product and service. Also, a fat person may also want to see the map, perhaps it would piss them off too and they would resent the message not buy into it.
Don't get me wrong, its not awful, but it has flaws so its not great; why do something ok when you can do something great?
No-one wants to piss people off. Bad for business.
they should have killed it.
no matter whether you're fat or not, if you wanted to see something on the map that is covered, it'd piss you off and you'd start to hate the brand.

this is creative: transfering pop-up-ads into the analog world. it's even better because you can't click this annoying thing away in this case.
whats next? billboards in front of the screen in cinemas? Nice full-sized stickers on my cars front window (works great for navigation systems or car inssurance). Okay, i'll walk instead. Don't wanna miss this new promotion in the city, with some nice hostesses beating you up with bottles of lemonade.
well most likely the stickers just stuck there to take these pictures. but next time more sensitive please, ads are annoying enough. no need to push the limits in this subject.
I think the idea would irritate some people, but it makes use of the medium quite well. I think its aimed at all people rather than just fat people.
another fake from germany. Why is it in english? You NEVER see english advertising in Germany (unless its in an expat magazine), ive been there enough times.
Also German government would never let you put a huge sticker like that on top of a public map.
also another point is if the map is for tourists than a local living in that city would never see it.
Are they attracting tourists to join a gym??
I hate creative ads for the sake of creativity, no thought of target audience. Besides this was a fake.

On January 1st, 2001, Barbie was caught scantily clad in lingerie, taking photos of herself on the artificial lawn outside of her mansion in Malibu. With her was an extremely large accomplice who was dressed similarly in lingerie by She & Reverie. The controversial doll, which some mothers will not even allow in their homes, was apprehended and charged with indecent exposure. Fourteen years later, Barbie is finally speaking out about the incident, giving us her first exclusive.
Barbie, explain how were you caught outdoors, wearing lingerie?
I don't see what the big deal is; they're going to take my clothes off anyway.
But Barbie —
Don't Barbie me, that's not even the worst of it. You have no idea what its like to be me! Sometimes I get brought home and within a week they've ripped my hair out and I'm missing a limb! I've even been the victim of decapitation–you try surviving that.
You and your accomplice were caught wearing lingerie designed by She & Reverie. Why that particular brand?
She & Reverie is for the whimsical dreamer! What do you think I represent!? I drive a pink convertible and my pony poops rainbows.
Why did you choose those particular pieces?
Well, my friend Kbunny and I were doing a lingerie shoot, and I totally love ALL of their stuff! In particular, I am a huge fan of their sixties sun top in chiffon rose, because we all know I love the color pink, and the '60s was a great time in my life. That's when I became an astronaut.
Anyway, for the lingerie shoot I thought her scalloped bralette was absolutely adorable, and I love those high-waisted garter shorts! I've always found a high waistline to be the most flattering. The pieces are also incredibly comfortable, and I refuse to wear lingerie that isn't comfy.
Also, while I love to dress in any given decade's trends, when it comes to lingerie, I think it should be timeless, and She & Reverie is inherently timeless.
You're a Malibu girl, so what made you choose a brand that is proudly manufactured in New York City?
My friend Kbunny is a New Yorker, and she was in town to visit, so I guess I felt inspired. Plus, I just love New York. I wrote a whole book about my first summer in the big city back in 1962, and my store in Times Square is off the hook.
You claim to be innocent, but you refused to stay in jail overnight.
I refuse to sleep anywhere other than my Malibu Dream House. My bestie, Jonathan Adler, recently redesigned the whole place. It looks sick.
But your bail was set at an astounding $50,000. Why not stick it out over night and avoid the fee?
Well, considering I'm a multi-million dollar empire, I've sold over a billion of myself, and two of me sell every second of everyday, I can't say I was sweating it. I don't sweat anything, literally.
How did Ken feel about the hefty bond?
Who gives a flying flamingo what Ken thinks?! Let's face it, I'm the bread winner here. I was worth millions before Ken even came into the picture. You know something, I just posed for the 50th anniversary issue of Sports Illustrated, and of course the anti-Barbie squad flipped a daisy over it. I had to write a whole essay defending myself, meanwhile, what they fail to realize is that I'm one of the greatest business women of all time! Not to mention an American Icon! I think they should learn to be a little less judgmental.
Well, Barbie, they take issue with your image. They feel you are too fake looking and artificial.
Not true, I was born this way.
They feel your proportions are unrealistic to the true female form.
Okay, well the next time their kid asks for a teddy bear, I want them to say, "I'm sorry honey, bears just aren't that soft and cuddly in the real world. Their torsos are much different and they have big scary teeth. It's best you learn that now." I'm a flipping doll for crying out loud.
Well Barbie, you were caught wearing lingerie on your lawn in Malibu. What kind of image are you trying to convey, exactly?
You know something, when my mother (COUGH COUGH!) made me, she said, "My whole philosophy of Barbie was that through the doll, the little girl could be anything she wanted to be. Barbie always represented the fact that a woman has choices."
What do I represent? I'm here to remind girls everywhere to believe in their dreams because they can do anything they set their minds to!
My resume is thicker than a phone book.That's what these haters seem to forget. I'm here to remind girls that any career is within reach. I've had over 108 careers myself! I was the first female American astronaut in 1965, three time presidential candidate, I've been an architect, doctor, champion equestrian, baker, art teacher, entrepreneur, soccer star, fashion designer, fashion editor, and I recently became a Sea World trainer. Do you know how many movies I've stared in?! I'm even a flipping philanthropist for pink's sake! I mean, what else do you want from me?! I'm the number one selling doll in the world.
Your new friend is extremely large. Why not play with someone your own size?
I've always wanted to be big.
Well Barbie, thank you for doing this interview. I think our readers will really appreciate you addressing the incident, and we are so happy to have you in our lives. Playing dress up starts with lingerie, and we love to play dress up. Do you have any last words you would like to share?
Yes. Everybody knows I have a lot of clothes, but when you criticize someone, just remember, no matter how many pairs of pumps they might have, whatever's happening is not happening to their pumps, it's happening to the person who wears them. So put yourself in my heels before you go glitter bombing me.
At heart, I'm a romantic dreamer girl. Take a moment to see the world through rose colored glasses. Like a budding peony, my heart blossoms in these whimsical designs, and I love them for it.
Styling, hair, makeup, model, and photography, all by Katrina Eugenia.

Latest medical horror story
Arizona is a medical torture chamber. I miss DC—where they have research hospitals, trained doctors even politicians will go to, and so on. Here…pot luck. Little storefront offices, rude staff, error after error.
I got a detached retina five yrs ago due to a medication for another ailment (thanks ever so) that made my eye bleed all to hell. Four surgeries…blind on the right.
In the course of all this messing around, they cut the nerve to the surface of my eye—so I can get an infection that could melt through the cornea—and not feel it. Therefore they told me to check every quarter to be sure there was no infection.
I have kept up with it pretty well…the copay is expensive under my new insurance, but I went yesterday.
The technician tested vision, then pressure in my eyes. My blind eye was normal—16. But my good eye was 30!! Bad! Could be glaucoma or maybe I would need a med I could not afford—or how about those shots in the eyeball everyone was getting for macular degeneration? I freaked. Was almost in tears.
We waited the usual hour, then the doctor said oh, no, it was fine—the so-called tech was the boss's 15-yr-old son there for the summer. He laughed it off—"I am a real doctor, you are fine."
Well, let's see what the medical board thinks, shall we?
I reported this bozo! Send Doogie to camp or something!
Come on—even for Arizona…

How awful. Reminds me of the Russian pilot who let his kid fly the plane, and then it crashed.

Trumped me! Far worse!

The medical board did find this was worthy of investigation. They said they couldn't go after the doctor's bad sense of humor and weird bedside manner, but could question his office procedures.

This post is mainly about SSE – Server Side Encryption. It was hard for me to understand, got quite confused along the way. The fact that the documentation on it is somewhat spread over several services didn't help either. Trying to put it in simpler terms here.
In order to understand how Server Side Encryption works in AWS, first we should understand the envelope encryption process.
I. Envelope encryption.
Assume we want to encrypt several files, but "files" can mean any kind of data. The process goes through a few stages.
First, an encryption key must be created, to be used as master_key. Amazon also refer to this as a "customer master key", or CMK. Once the master key is in place, the encryption/decryption follows the following steps:
Repeat steps 1 to 5 for each file.
II. SSE-C vs SSE-KMS vs SSE-S3
Amazon offer three types of Server Side Encryption (SSE), SSE-C, SSE-KMS and SSE-S3. The encryption of data is done by Amazon in all cases, the main difference is in where the encryption key comes from. All SSE encryption will send unencrypted data to Amazon for encryption and assumes Amazon is trusted in this regard.
SSE-C, stands for Server Side Encryption with Client-Provided Keys:
SSE-KMS, stands for Server-Side Encryption with AWS KMS-Managed Keys:
SSE-S3, stands for Server-Side Encryption with Amazon S3-Managed Keys:
III. Client side encryption
Detailed in the AWS docs, there's basically two cases.
The AWS SDKs, or at least the Java one, provide functions for easy access to envelope encryption when using the client-side options.
Upgraded Ansible to version 2.1 on OS X El Capitan. First run, I get this error:
AttributeError: 'EntryPoint' object has no attribute 'resolve'
Googling for it, it seems like the cause is setuptools (!?) version that is too old. I did install Ansible by running
pip2 install --upgrade --user ansible, which installed it in my home directory and also upgraded the setuptools package in my home directory, but that's not the version that Python is picking up.
I'm using system's Python 2.7, I didn't install another one. And the system Python is looking for modules using a path that starts with /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7, so it's going to pick up the system setuptools instead of the one in my home directory. This package can't be upgraded because it's protected by SIP and disabling that and updating the package might cause the system to misbehave.
One solution is to export PYTHONPATH in my environment. Problem is, I'm using both Python2 and Python3 and that variable applies to both. Setting PYTHONPATH to point to Python2's modules would likely cause a bigger mess.
Better solution:
Create a file under the site-packages directory in my home folder ($HOME/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages) that has a
.pth extension. It's going to be picked up before anything else runs and lines starting with
import are going to be executed. This file will contain code that will insert our directory before everything else in sys.path, so it will be searched first:
import sys; sys.path = ["/Users/USERNAME/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages"] + sys.path
Here's a one-liner that will create the file:
echo "import sys; sys.path = ['$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages'] + sys.path" > $HOME/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python/site-packages/elcap.pth
Emrer is a Python script that reads a YAML file and starts an EMR cluster as specified in that file.
The main advantage over other EMR automation solutions is that it will take care of uploading the bootstrap/step scripts to S3, so everything can be stored locally, both the cluster config and the scripts it's going to execute. Which basically means that a cluster created with this script can be stored in a versioning system like Git and basically treated as code all the way.
The configuration file is YAML, easier to read and understand than JSON. The example configuration is commented.
It's not using CloudFormation at all, when this script was initially written CloudFormation didn't yet know how to create EMR clusters. At the time I didn't find anything else that could do it out there either.
It could be enhanced with a kind of "plugin" system where custom procedures are executed when certain things are set up. For example, a procedure that would add required security groups to the list if they are missing from the configuration file, making sure that the cluster is compliant with company regulations.
The following will create a dump of raw network packets to a file, while continuously reading that file and displaying the packets on screen in human-readable format:
/bin/sh -c "tcpdump -i any -w /tmp/dumpfile.cap host 127.0.0.1 &" && sleep 1; tail -n 1000 -f /tmp/dumpfile.cap | tcpdump -r -
/bin/sh -c "tcpdump -i any -w /tmp/dumpfile.cap host 127.0.0.1 &" : run tcpdump in the background, dumping raw packets to /tmp/dumpfile.cap
sleep 1 : wait a second for the file to be created and the header to be written to it. without waiting, you'll probably get "bad dump file format"
tail -n 1000 -f /tmp/dumpfile.cap : tail the dump file. The point of -n is to get the whole file, from the start, including the header. Avoids "bad dump file format" error
tcpdump -r - : reads from stdin, which is actually the contents of /tmp/dumpfile.cap and displays to stdout in human-readable format.
IMPORTANT: Interrupting with CTRL+C will NOT kill the backgrounded tcpdump. Don't forget to do that too if it's not limited somehow, otherwise it will fill up the disk.
A bucket policy that will deny access to anyone not coming from the specified IP addresses. Used in combination with IAM groups that allow access to S3, the net result will be that users will be allowed the access given to the group they belong to, but only if they are coming from one of the IP address specified in this policy, which is going to be attached to the bucket. Using an "Allow" policy, like in Amazon's example, would allow anyone coming from those IPs full access, effectively defeating the purpose of group-based policies.

AWS permissions intended for a group containing users that will monitor the environment, but should not have access to data and are not allowed to make any changes. Should allow members to check the health of services or run periodic reviews. Basically a modified version of Amazon's Read-Only policy template. In order to cut access to potentially dangerous information, some access was removed:
AWS IAM permissions to allow users to set up MFA devices for themselves. ${aws:username} restricts access to the logged on user only. "iam:ListUsers" allows them to navigate to their own user in Amazon's console. To be used with groups that otherwise don't have access to IAM or only have read-only access.

A set of permissions to be used on Amazon Web Services Simple Storage Service (AWS S3) buckets. Each of them should be attached to a different group. The set imitates the Unix permissions model (rwx), where x would be administrative access to the bucket.

In Amazon Web Services it's possible to enable logging for the whole VPC (CloudTrail) or for various services provided by Amazon, like S3. These logs get stored in S3 buckets. They are generated every few minutes in the case of CloudTrail, or every few seconds in the case of S3. CloudTrail logs are somewhat easier to manage because they are grouped by day, but S3 logs are all stored in one "folder", so after some time there can be tens of thousands of files making it hard to find something unless you know exactly what you're looking for.
Mostly a learning project, this script provides functions to "collapse" many files into one. Written in Python, tested on FreeBSD and Linux, it uses Amazon's Python SDK, boto. Obviously, boto must be installed and configured with the proper credentials. It downloads the files for a certain period of time, concatenates them into one file, uploads the new file to S3, then deletes the concatenated files from S3 and local. The basic idea would be to get all logs for a certain day/hour into one file, making it easier to find something in those logs later. Might need some code adapting.
The code is on Github, this page might not have the latest version.


text: At the intersection of Broadway,Rt50 and Circular St. the Red Turn arrow was removed before this past summer. The "NO TURN ON RED" sign should be removed. If you were too view the traffic pattern at this intersection No traffic enters Boardway way from W. Circular St. Traffic enetering from RT 50 north and Circular St west are controlled by a traffic light. On any given day the traffic traveling south on Boardway entering this intersection is backed up to at least St. Peters school. This is caused by traffic not being allowed to turn right on red onto Route 50 south. This causes undo problems with the free flow of traffic not to mention emergency vehicles that travel this route quite offen. The simple solution is to remove the NO TURN ON RED sign facing traffic traveling south

Construction on the Owen County Judicial Center is nearing completion and employees could be moving in during the latter part of this summer.
The project initially began in 2006 when the Kentucky General Assembly approved a new judicial center for Owen County.
Two years later, the General Assembly authorized the approximately $10 million needed to build the 33,000 square foot building, which will house the court system and the circuit clerk's office.
The county judge, county attorney and PVA's offices will remain at the Owen County Courthouse.
A former United Producers Stockyard manager was indicted on the charge of theft by unlawful taking or disposition of property with a value of $10,000 or more June 5.
According to the indictment, Gregory A. Evans, 43, unlawfully took or exercised control over movable property of another, namely over $10,000 belonging to United Producers Stockyard with the intent to deprive the owner thereof between April 30, 2007 and October 14, 2011.
If convicted he is punishable by imprisonment for up to 10 years in the penitentiary and a fine of up to $10,000.
A bench warrant has been set at $10,000.
One of the hurdles an educator must always face when school resumes in the fall is getting kids back into the habit of learning.
But the staff of the Owen County Public Library have been tackling that problem through the summer reading program.
Jennifer Nippert, director of the Owen County Public Library, said the program helps keep children in the frame of mind of learning and visiting the library while offering them something enjoyable to do during the summer months.
When Gilbert England lost his father to cancer in 1981, the Owen County man looked for ways to continue his father's memory.
England began by supporting the American Cancer Society, which eventually led him to Relay for Life.
"Supporting the American Cancer Society was easy for me because of my father," Gilbert said. "Then I visited a Relay for Life in Carrollton and saw what a great event it was and we were able to get one started here in Owen County."
Owen County's Relay for Life began 14 years ago and has been going strong ever since.

Editor's Note: In a recent edition of the News-Herald, Emily Clark's benediction was inadvertently omitted from a story on the 2012 Owen County High School graduation.
Here is her presentation in its entirety:
Ecclesiastes 11:8-10 says;
"For if a man should live many years,
let him rejoice in them all,
and let him remember the days
of darkness, since there will be many,
All that comes is futile.
Rejoice, young man,
while you are young,
I have only been covering Owen County athletics for a few years now but as the year concluded last week I can't remember a better one.
Let us start last fall with the football and volleyball teams. On the gridiron the Rebels went 10-0 during the regular season. They won the district and a first round playoff game before eventually losing in the second round to the team they would go on to win the 2A state championship. The Rebels were not just winning games by narrow margins. They were punishing the opposition winning their 11 games by an average of 22 points.
Memorial Day was not a day to remember for the Owen County High baseball and softball teams.
The softball team earned a trip to the eighth region tournament after reaching the finals of the 31st district tournament for the first time since 2010.
Under 8
Play-in Game, Saturday May 19
Clovers - 1 vs. Little Rebels - 0
In the first round of the U8 tournament, the Clovers walked away with the win to advance to the semi-finals. Scoring for the Clovers was Brionna Crowe. This was the first win of the season for the Clovers. Unfortunately, this was the final game for the Little Rebels who had an incredible season. Coach Larry Kenner is so proud of the Little Rebels. They all put forth great effort during the season and made his first season as a soccer coach memorable.

The Government: Introduce animal welfare into school curriculum.
Introducing animal care and welfare into primary and secondary curriculum can only be a positive way of trying to prevent the mistreatment and cruelty towards animals, as well as teaching social skills from a young age, such as empathy and kindness.
All over the world, extreme cases of animal cruelty takes place, such as wildlife poaching of highly endangered species, fur farms and dog fighting. However, this sort of behaviour does not suddenly hit people at a certain age where they deliberately decide to become cruel. It is with them throughout childhood and adolescence. Our beliefs and actions are given to us at a young age; they are the foundations of our choices and decisions in life.
If young children can be taught the importance of looking after the world around them, the urgency of protecting wildlife and even the significance of looking after their own pets properly, then I believe that this will have a significant impact on preventing animal cruelty nationally and internationally.
- Government and department for education
Introducing animal welfare into school curriculum is an important step to preventing animal cruelty nationally and internationally, and will help teach the next generation necessary skills such as empathy and kindness that will stop deliberate cruelty to innocent creatures.

Reasoning doesn't work with nuts.
The words on the cover of THE NEW AMERICAN of February 20 are "Is It Nuts to Let Iran Go Nuclear?" The answer is "Yes."
If Iran, a nation that has referred to the United States as the Great Satan, develops an A-bomb, then it is certain that a nuclear blast will go off in Omaha or Kansas City--the center of the nation--for maximum psychological effect.
Charles Scaliger, in the article that is referenced on that issue's cover, says that an act of nuclear terrorism against the United States is slight, given the likelihood of massive retaliation by the United States. But what if a madman comes to power?
A theocratic regime that values martyrdom, and believes in rewards for martyrs in the hereafter, is not likely to be deterred from violence by the threat of retaliation. Also, if an A-bomb goes off in America, who would know where it came from? It could come from China or North Korea--other nations with whom we have trouble.
Then there's Murphy's Law: Anything bad that can happen will happen.

Phil Collins Day Friday
Phil Collins Day is this Friday in New York, and this time out the celebration shifts from Brooklyn to the Rockaways section of neighboring Queens. The theme of this year's festivities will be "Take Me Home," which will serve as a nod to those hit hardest by Hurricane Sandy, which caused major destruction to the Rockaways
"Phil Collins" is also now a song title. Australian alternative pop duo Big Scary are about to release a track by that name as the lead single from their upcoming album, Not Art. The track is available for streaming via the band's SoundCloud page. Collins joins "Alex Chilton" by The Replacements, "Brian Wilson" by Barenaked Ladies, "Buddy Holly" by Weezer and "Springsteen" by country singer Eric Church on the list of musicians whose names have been used as song titles.

Hi All,
I am currently applying to several M.Arch programs, and I am a little confused regarding the online application vs. supplementary documents.
1) For GSAPP and other schools that allow the applicant's letter providers submit the letters online, can I submit the application without all the letters uploaded? But the letter providers will submit the letters before the deadline.
Because GSAPP ask the applicants to send supplementary documents AFTER submitting the online application, If I have to wait until I got all the letters before I hit the submit button, I am afraid that my portfolio (hard copy) won't arrive at the school by the deadline.
Also, If I sent them my GRE score before I submit my online application, would that count?
2) I sent SCI-ARC my GRE score and transcript BEFORE I hit the submit button for my online application. Now, after I submitted my online application, in my.sciarc.edu, I didn't see them on file, should I resubmit my these documents?
no- it takes time for them to update your folder. chillax.
just apply by before the deadline.. then contact them about your recommendation letters and transcript. They have hundreds of applications to go through and I'm sure they can wait until all your documents arrive as long as its not past the date they send out their admission results.

JERUSALEM (Mar. 5)
Peace Now, the largest and most effective grass-roots peace movement in Israel, is running into physical obstacles and ideological difficulties as it presses for direct talks between Israelis and Palestinians.
About 3,000 activists planning to hold "peace meetings" with Palestinians in the administered territories Saturday were stopped by Israel Defense Force roadblocks.
Except for a relative handful who managed to elude the soldiers, the activists were frustrated in their attempt.
But that is not the only impasse facing Peace Now. The movement itself is faced with significant defections for the first time since it was formed to advance the cause of peace in the aftermath of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's historic visit to Jerusalem in 1977.
Veteran activists, including some on the political left, have quit in protest over what they regard as Peace Now's deviation from the middle road.
The great strength of the movement, they argue, was its broad appeal. It campaigned for peace, but it did not draw maps or adopt a specific stand on the delicate issues of negotiating with the Palestine Liberation Organization.
It was therefore able to rally many diverse groups to the peace camp. Now, it is alienating many of them by preaching talks with the PLO.
That is not acceptable even to many on the left, at least not as long as the intifada, or Palestinian uprising, continues.
The IDF threw up the roadblocks Saturday at the specific orders of Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
He laid down the rule that "peace meetings" could not be held without the advance permission of the military authorities.
This is a paradox, because Rabin is the primary advocate of elections in the territories so that the Arabs can choose local leaders with whom Israel could negotiate.
But defense establishment sources pointed out that "there is one law for the settlers and the Peace Now activists." He was referring to the fact that the 80,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are forbidden from holding political demonstrations.
About 200 Peace Now emissaries managed to infiltrate the IDF cordons and were warmly received by Palestinian villagers, who had been alerted to expect them.
In fact, the underground leaders of the intifada gave instructions to receive the Peace Now people enthusiastically.
In Beit Ummar village, near Hebron, hundreds of villagers waiting in the main street from early morning cheered as the peace activists approached. They were invited to the home of the village head for a long talk.
Elsewhere in the territories, the IDF continued to clash with demonstrators, and casualties mounted.
Two Palestinians were shot and wounded Sunday in Ramallah, in a stone-throwing skirmish with soldiers. Six youths were wounded in other clashes Friday and Saturday.
In East Jerusalem, two gasoline bombs were thrown from the Moslem Quarter of the Old City at a house in the Jewish Quarter. No one was hurt, and only slight damage was done.
The curfew on Nablus, the West Bank's largest Arab city, entered its second week Sunday. It was imposed on Feb. 24, after an Israeli soldier, Binyamin Meisner, was killed in the casbah.
Meanwhile, Palestinian activist Faisal al-Husseini left for London on Sunday, en route to the United States to participate in a meeting sponsored jointly by the magazine New Outlook and the East Jerusalem Arabic daily Al-Fajr.
It is Husseini's first trip abroad in 12 years. He was freed from prison last month after spending 12 of the previous 13 months under administrative detention.
He said he has not yet received his American visa.
Husseini, though a supporter of the PLO, is now considered a moderate. The meeting in New York will be attended by senior PLO officials and by several left-wing Knesset members: Shulamit Aloni, Yossi Sarid and Ran Cohen of the Citizens Rights Movement and Yair Tsaban of Mapam.

Can Sugar Remove from Body Permanently?
I am 28 year old man and I have blood sugar in initial stage. How can I remove diabetes permanently? Because I suffer from sugar 15 days ago?
I really need more information from you to better answer your question. There are two types of diabetes mellitus (high blood sugar) - the type in which the pancreas quits making insulin, and the person requires insulin for survival (that is known as type 1 diabetes), and the type in which insulin is made but the body doesn't use it very well (that is known as type 2 diabetes). Type 2 diabetes is more common (about 95% of those with diabetes have this type). Individuals with type 2 diabetes typically (but not always) are overweight, so good exercise, modest weight loss (about 10% of body weight) and watching carbohydrates (starches) in what one eats can often cure one of diabetes, especially at the beginning.
For those with type 1 diabetes, insulin shots are required to live. As of right now there is no practical cure, although there is a lot of work on transplants that someday be useful.

My payroll tax increase will directly affect my spending power and ability to save for stuff like college education, home improvements, vacation, etc. That 2% increase comes out of the disposable income bucket for middle income families with kids and out of the essentials bucket for low income families.
It sure will. But I survived in 2008 just fine before this temporary tax break and I'm pretty sure I'll survive now as well. Considering what we were up against it could have been a lot worse than losing a temporary 2% tax cut.
