Gold's Gym members get refunds after computer glitch
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - Nilsa Matos, of Cathedral City, joined the Gold's Gym in Palm Springs 18 months ago. While celebrating her birthday Tuesday she received a jaw-dropping surprise.
"I had a debt of $3,322. It was terrible for me. It was my birthday." said Matos.
Matos was not alone. Some people we talked to saw pending charges ranging from $900 to more than $8,000.
Gold's Gym regional manager Aaron Wallo said Wednesday only the Palm Springs club was affected. In a written statement, Gold's Gym blamed a computer glitch with its third-party credit card vendor Vantiv for the faulty transactions. Gold's says the error caused "only a preauthorization not an actual charge" to customer credit or debit cards.
"I cried. It's a lot of money," said a woman from Cathedral City.
The Cathedral City member told us she doesn't care if it was a mistake -- she refuses to forgive and forget.
"I came here to cancel my membership for the incident yesterday, $2,000," she said.
The gym said the correct charge for membership fees will be applied on Wednesday, the incorrect amount will be removed.
Some members sighed with relief.
"They put all of the money in the bank. Praise God," said Matos.
Apologizing for the confusion and frustration, the credit card billing company Vanitiv said the software error was fixed immediately and that cardholder information didn't get hacked and at cardholders didn't get charged for these incorrect amounts.
Matos says it's a reminder for all: "More people need to be more careful, pay more attention to their bank account daily."
Gold's Gym said if you incur any insufficient funds (NSF) or other specific fees as a result of this incorrect preauthorization issue, Jonas Fitness will be acting as the gym's main point of contact to ensure these fees are researched correctly and if applicable, you are refunded for them right away. In order to ensure they can respond to you in a timely manner, they have set up an email solely for the purposes of collecting refund requests for any Insufficient Funds Fees that your credit card company or bank may have applied to your account as a direct result of this incident. Please email them at: email@example.com and include the following:
1. Your full name
2. The best phone number to reach you on (preferably your cell)
3. The name of the health club or gym you belong to and the city it is located
4. The amount of NSF or other insufficient funds fees you incurred from your bank or credit card company
5. Attach a scan or screen grab of the fees charged to you by your credit card company or bank dated on July 23 or July 24 (this documentation/proof must be provided to them in order to get you properly reimbursed by the third party credit card provider).
**In order to help alleviate some of the burden, you may provide the above mentioned documents to your gym and it will assist with the process of forwarding your information to the appropriate parties.
Once they receive this information, they will respond directly to your request within 48 hours with a detailed answer and timeline for any applicable fee-related refunds.

BOMI 12th Ralik Ratak Shootout opening ceremony
It was a very wet evening for the opening ceremony of the Bank of Marshall Islands 12th Ralik Ratak Shootout Invitational Basketball Tournament 2012. Despite heavy rains, the tournament opened on a high note, with a line up of national and local government and business VIPs in attendance to kick off this year's Ralik Ratak Shootout. Friday's two scheduled opening games have been set for Monday.
The challenge of operating a tournament without the ECC gym, which has been closed for 17 months because of roof damage, quickly became evident as Marshall Islands Basketball Federation tournament organizers prepared to start the opening ceremony Friday evening, November 30. A hard rain in the morning had been followed by an afternoon of blazing sun that dried the CMI court for the evening opening ceremony and two games scheduled to follow. But as the opening ceremony was about to start at 5:30pm, the rains blew in again.
Despite the rain, all of the people scheduled to speak at the program showed up early or right on time at the CMI court. At about 5:45, with the rain falling heavily, the opening ceremony started with VIPs, players and MIBF officials huddled under a large tent. The event was nationally broadcast live on V7AB radio with V7AB announcer William Ring on hand for the event.
MIBF Secretary General Deborah K. Shoniber emceed the program. After welcoming everyone, she invited Rev. Edward Edward of the Assembly of God Church to bless the ceremony. Following the prayer, Deborah offered a comment about this year's Ralik Ratak Shootout: "This is the 12th Ralik Ratak Shootout," she said, "but it is the first one ever to be held outdoors. This is because our ECC gym is still closed. We join with all local sports and exercise fans in requesting that our government take action to get the ECC fixed and back into operation so that it can continue to serve the thousands of people who used to use it for sports activities. And so that next year, when it is Ralik Ratak Shootout Tournament time, we will be back indoors for this basketball tournament."
The competing teams were recognized by Deborah: Lae men, Lae women, Arno men, Arno women, Wotje men, Jaluit men, Jaluit women, Likiep men, Likiep women, Rongelap men, Namu men, Mejit men, Mejit women, Maloelap men, Majuro men and Majuro women.
MALGov Executive Councilman Jisam Kaisha, speaking for Mayor Mudge Samuel, thanked the organizers and congratulated the teams for participating and indicated his hope for better playing weather. He emphasized MALGov's strong support of the basketball program and sports in general.
The tournament's major sponsor, Bank of Marshall Islands, was represented by President Patrick Chen and bank official Sultan Korean, who is also Team Mejit men's coach. Sultan spoke on behalf of the bank, praising the Federation for organizing the tournament and recognizing the other businesses and government people who help to put on the competition.
In a short interlude, Marshall Islands Development Bank Managing Director Amon Tibon, and Guam-based Pacific Islands Development Bank President Aren Palik were recognized for making donations to the Federation to assist with costs associated with the tournament. Aren delivered his contribution to MIBF Vice President Neiar Kabua.
About this time, the rainfall became a deluge and the wind kicked up the tent that was protecting all the opening ceremony participants. Several brave volunteers — including tournament volunteers from Majuro Coop School, Journal reporter Hilary Hosia, MIBF VP Neiar Kabua, and MIBF board member Alber Alik grabbed tent poles to keep the tent on the ground. All of the tent holders were soaked to the bone, but braved the rain to keep the tent grounded and the group underneath it dry.
Deborah recognized the College of the Marshall Islands for collaborating with MIBF. "I'd like to recognize the College of the Marshall Islands for its ongoing partnership with the Basketball Federation," she said. "We just completed a great basketball clinic for men and women coaches, and thanks to CMI it went very smoothly." She called up CMI President Carl Hacker to speak, and he seconded the need for getting the ECC fixed and also mentioned that a plan is now in progress for the US Navy's Pacific Partnership visit next year to build a roof over the CMI basketball court. He said CMI was happy to be a partner with MIBF and wished the tournament luck.
Jeimata Nokko Kabua represented the Marshall Islands National Olympic Committee, on which he is a Vice President. Nokko also spoke to the urgent need to get the ECC functioning. He also recognized MIBF for organizing the event, and explained that the NOC is financially supporting many of the logistic costs associated with the tournament.
Deborah recognized additional Ralik Ratak Shootout sponsors. The Marshalls Energy Company fixed one of the lights on this court that had been broken for a long time, so now the players won't have to play in the dark. The National Telecommunications Authority made sure a phone line was working for V7AB to broadcast this ceremony and the games to follow. Do It Best Hardware, Majuro Stevedore and Terminal Company, and Medi-Source Pacific all helped with financial donations.
The final speaker of the evening was Internal Affairs Assistant Secretary Wallace Peter, who spoke on behalf of Minister Wilbur Heine. Wallace praised the partnership between his ministry and the Basketball Federation, and particularly praised major sponsor Bank of Marshall Islands for always getting behind this national tournament by guaranteeing funding.
Rev. Edward wrapped things up with a closing prayer.
Then Deborah, looking out on the puddle-filled court with rain falling on her face, said what everyone would have liked to do: "Let's play ball!"
Friday's two games were postponed to Monday.

I love this wonderful 40's-50's silver necklace. I wear it alot. I guess it might be sterling plate (vermeil) because some areas on the arrows show a little bronze underneath, but the beautiful feather chain seems to be all silver. I found it a junk store 20 yrs ago - completely black - in a pile, no price. I knew it was silver and then the pricer guy came out and said "es plata" - but he marked it $15 for me.

Jinwoon couldn't help but shed tears as they spoke about the time that he was almost cut from 2AM.
Jinwoon was a guest on the April 11th episode of KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together 3' and he said that the song "This Song" had a deep meaning for him. He began to tear up telling his story, catching the MCs off guard.
He confessed, "After I was confirmed as a member of 2AM, I was recording 'This Song', our debut song. While recording, J.Y. Park, our producer and label head told me to go back to being a trainee. I teared up when I heard his cold words."
Fortunately, the next day Jinwoon had the opportunity to record again. On this day, Jinwoon had given up on himself and sung without any energy, but for some peculiar reason, it met J.Y. Park's high standards. Thinking back on that day, Jinwoon said, "I sang without giving it much thought but the company said, 'This kid has changed in just one day' and paid compliments to me. Because of that I was able to debut as a member of 2AM."
Netizens who saw the episode and heard this story commented, "So there was a time when he was in danger of having to leave the group", "His story is heartbreaking", and "Because he was about to get cut, he was able to grow this much."

I used a ParaGard copper IUD for about five years because I was tired of hormonal birth control. My insurance at the time covered both the device and the insertion
What is an Intrauterine Device (IUD)?
IUDs are small T-shaped plastic devices that are are either wrapped in copper or contain small amounts of synthetic hormones. Once inserted into the uterus, they are highly effective at preventing pregnancy. There are several types of intrauterine devices. This article looks briefly at the two most popular brands, ParaGard and Mirena, as well as some of the known benefits and side effects of these devices.
The Good and the Bad: the benefits and negatives of IUDs at a glance
- up to 99% effective in preventing pregnancy
- generally considered safe for most women, including women who have already had children and those who are breastfeeding
- one IUD lasts 5-10 years depending on the type
- low or no hormones
- requires no maintenance once inserted
- cost effective considering length of effectiveness
- can begin trying to conceive shortly after removal
- despite long term cost effectiveness, upfront cost is high
- needs to be inserted and removed by your doctor
- does not prevent all pregnancies
- 10% or more of women will experience expulsion of the device
- does not protect against STDs
- some women experience serious health issues from the use of an IUD, can be life threatening
- some women feel uncomfortable with the device in their bodies, become ill from the hormones or copper and/or have emotional and mental side effects
Are IUDs Safe and Effective?
As with any birth control method, the safety and effectiveness of an intrauterine device should be researched carefully before choosing one for yourself. While many women swear by them as an easy to live with and low hormone approach to birth control, others have endured many physical and mental side effects from their IUDs.
Lawsuits have been filed against both Mirena and ParaGard after women experienced "spontaneous migration" of the IUD from the correct area of the uterus causing a variety of medical issues, some severe. And while IUDs have proven to be very effective in preventing pregnancy (up to 99%) women do become pregnant even with a properly placed device. Studies have shown that as many as 10% of women may also experience complete or partial expulsion of an IUD. The dangers and rates of malposition of the device, those of uterine perforation (known to happen in 1 out of 1000 women) and other side effects are explored in a recent study. Read it here.
Physical side effects are not the only concern, some women experience symptoms similar to pregnancy or PMS when using an IUD as well as unnerving emotional or mental reactions.
Still, IUDs may be a safer option than other birth control methods, such as a daily hormonal pill, and are generally safe for breastfeeding moms and those who were recently pregnant. Both ParaGard and Mirena claim to be 99% effective and their effectiveness is more predictable than some other birth control methods. And, for busy moms looking for something that is highly effective and easy to forget about, this may be the simplest and least limiting birth control option available.
How Much Do They Cost?
The upfront cost for an IUD is between $500 and $1000, depending on a variety of factors. This is a one-time cost for the life of the device (assuming you do not have associated medical issues), but you will need to pay for removal of the IUD when its effectiveness ceases or you are ready to begin trying for another child. Some women have removed IUDs on their own at home but this is not recommended by doctors. Both services are covered by most insurance policies, however, getting an appointment for insertion or removal can take months in some areas.
Although the initial cost may be prohibitive it is relatively low when the years of effectiveness (5-10) are factored in, especially considering that they require no maintenance or additional doctor visits for most women.
Below is a simplified breakdown of the two most well-known and used IUDs on the market. Before deciding to use an IUD, or choosing which one best meets your needs, considering asking the women in your life about their experiences and recommendations, doing additional research online, or reviewing the many discussions in the Mothering community on this topic.
Cross Comparison: ParaGard VS Mirena
ParaGard and Mirena are both intrauterine devices that are popular with Mothering moms for their ease of use and general effectiveness. And while both systems work similarly, there are major differences to consider.
- claims to be more than 99% effective for up to 5 years
- releases a synthetic form of progesterone (levonorgestrel) into your uterus to prevent pregnancy: partially prevents ovulation, thickens cervical mucas to prevent the entrance of sperm into the uterus and thins the uterine lining to prevent a fertizlized egg from attaching
- uses a very low dose of hormones compared to oral contraceptives
- will affect your normal menstrual cycle hormonally, sometimes dramatically
- once removed, may continue to prevent pregnancy for weeks or months
- can cause pelvic infections and uterine perforation, as well as reactions to the hormones
- is considered safe for breastfeeding in most cases
- claims to be more than 99% effective for up to 10 years
- is wrapped in copper and contains no hormones: disrupts sperm and the uterine lining to prevent pregnancy
- may increase bleeding during your normal cycle but does not disrupt the cycle on a hormonal level
- conception is possible almost immediately after removal
- can cause pelvic infections and uterine perforation
- is safe for breastfeeding
If you are trying to avoid hormones and plan to conceive another child quickly after removal, ParaGard may be a better solution than Mirena. Overall, if you are interested in an IUD, the best option will come down to your personal needs. You can find more details, including specific safety information, on the Mirena or ParaGard websites or from your doctor.
Interested in other types of birth control for moms? Check out this article on the most common and recommended methods.
This article is not intended to take the place of medical advice from a professional. Talking to a trusted doctor or midwife is the best way to gain accurate information about the use of IUDs. Mothering has no relationship with the companies that produce either Mirena or Paragard.

Program participants earn incentive points throughout the school year for good grades and attendance and are able to use these points to purchase items for themselves or for their child/children in the incentive store (pictured right), set up for the day at Tindley. The store was generously stocked with toys, diapers, toiletries, clothes, car seats, bounce seats and more. Participants were able to earn incentive points the day of the party for getting tested for STDs. They received points for each family member or friend in attendance who was tested as well. The Marion County Public Health Department offered the STD screenings.
Participants lined up outside of the incentive room, where they were given empty boxes for shopping, and as soon as everyone was in line, the doors opened and they rushed in to begin shopping. There was no shortage of supplies to be had! Everyone walked away with arms full of supplies.
"This program is such a blessing," said one participant, who was due with her first child in December. "It really is helpful."

Laksmi Hasanadka of Project Home Indy suggested I contact you.
I am Carolyn Meagher with IU School of Medicine, Adolescent Pediatrics. I am overseeing a research project to better understand how adolescent parents make medical decisions regarding their children's health and how they use adults in their lives as decision-support people. The project is conducted by Dr. Mary A. Ott (firstname.lastname@example.com) of the IU School of Medicine.
I am seeking young parents to interview as part of phase 1 of this project.
Phase I of the project entails interviewing adolescent parents in a 60-minute interview. The interview has three parts: 1.) general questions about the young parent of support person, such as age, gender and family; 2.) what medical decisions they have made for their child; 3.) questions about a hypothetical medical decision involving a possible surgery. Young parents, age 14-21 can participate. Parental permission is not required, and participants can sign their own consent form. Participation is voluntary. There is no direct benefit to the participants in this study, but young families will have the opportunity to reflect on their own parenting and decision making processes.
Participants will be given a $20 gift card as compensation for their time. The project has been approved by the IU Institutional Review Board. The project has special protections for privacy and confidentiality. If a participants feels uncomfortable, they can choose to stop at any time. Choosing to stop is okay and will not affect anyone's medical care.
I am writing to see if it would be possible to recruit young parents from Future Promises. I have a flyer and Information sheet that I can share with you.

Medal of Honour Underground Version 1.6
Mission 8 Walkthrough
My nick: DeEpBluE
My Board nick: DEpBluE (someone already take the nick:)
Email me at: email@example.com
Medal of Honor Underground is a FPP (First Person Perspective) game. It is
created by Electronic Arts and is the Prequel to the very popular Medal
of Honor where you play as Patterson. Like many other games, the first few
missions trains your coordination, aiming skills and character controls.
The story is completed on finishing Mission 7, but the game
continues in a wacky sense on Mission 8, where you fight dancing dogs, dogs
driving half-tracks, welding Panzers or machine guns. Mission 7 was tough,
especially level 3 and level 4. But Mission 8 is totally Insane. To those
who can complete the mission without dying once, I have only a sentence to say -
Hehe, no offence.
One point to note is that there is NO MOVIE SEQUENCES for completing this
mission. It is a bonus mission.
This is the walkthrough, for others, like me, who have spent countless hours
trying to butcher those dogs.
Version Changes
Updated the Motor-Sidecar info. Thanks to those who emailed me the name.
Updated the Contributions section also. Updated Frequently asked questions.
Added more codes.
Added scenario 3 (Mission 7 Level 3 walkthrough)
If I keep adding walkthroughs like this, I might complete the whole MOHU
walkthrough. GameFaqs will have to put my FAQ under a different section.
Well the date is interesting :) Happy new year to you guys out there.
Added General Tatics. Added Contents section.
Made a few minor corrections to spelling mistakes, made minor adjustments to
format changes. Created Version Changes Section. Added Codes section.
Well, my first attempt on creating a walkthrough, so please forgive me if I left
things out, made spelling errors or any stupid jokes :)
I have finished the original MOH and now this. IMO MOH was much easier then MOHU.
The toughness I guess, comes from the "bonus" level from completing all the
first 7 levels. I have read X-Dragon's FAQ and found it to be quite good.
However, its a pity he has not finished the game and hence the remaining of his
FAQs. Since I found this level difficult to finish, I decided to write a detailed
FAQ on how to complete this level. Just be prepared to keep restarting the level
though. Its hard - but not impossible. The levels are long, and the enemies
extreme. :) Enough already ! On with the game...

Mission Objectives: Get journel. Find Paznerknacker arms. Find Panzerkancker legs.
General Tatic
This mission is insane. IMHO, this is the hardest level in the whole game.
Be prepared to repeat this at least 5 times. The dogs here require 8 pistol
shots to kill them. Head shots dont seem to work for me. If you noticed,
your pistol can only hold 7 rounds of ammo before you need to reload - but you
need 8 shots to kill so all I could recommand is when u see a dog running
towards you, fire a pistol shot then reload immediately and feed the puppy some
the remaining 7 rounds of lead.
This works if theres only a dog running towards you - if there are 2 or more -
use a shotgun. Fire a shot (at close range, further its useless), it should take
out a dog. If it doesnt, reverse when it pouces at you - you should not take any
damage. Fire again - taking out another dog. You should be taking out a dog with
each shot ! Shotgun shells are as I mentioned, very valuable in the level.
The dogs dont deal much damage with each bite. But usually you'll be surrounded
by about 2 or 3 dogs. RETREAT and fire a shotgun. You will also encounter
panzer-dogs and machinegunner dogs. These are priority targets !!
You start out outside the castle wars, immediately a dog runs out. Equip your
pistol and fire at the dog running towards you. 3 shots aimed at the head will
do the trick. Go forward until you see the gate. There you will see two dogs
dancing on the bridge. Switch to a grenade and straft left, throwing it
once you reach the opening. At the same time, the dogs should run towards you,
frying the dogs at the same time.
Walk past the bridge near the castle entrance. You could go down the opening
(to under the bridge) to get some ammo and a medicine canteen. Go near the opening
near the wall, strafting right slowly until you see the 3 dancing dogs. Toss a
grenade and make toast of them.
Now walk down the hall way - keeping to the left wall. You should see an opening
right ahead. Toss a grenade and kill the dog hiding there. You should change
to a shotgun just in case it runs out. Walk futher down and do the same thing
for the next opening.
You will see a clearing next. Look up and you will see a panzerdog walking. Take
you pistol and squeeze off a few rounds at him. Sometimes he will fire at you,
but blowing itself up instead. Now for the half-track. If you look carefully,
there is a dog manning a machine gun on the half track. Switch to a pistol and
snipe it from a safe distance. Once it's dead, wait until the vehicle's back is
facing you, run to the back and toss a couple of grenades until you destroy it.
Forward past the fountain, you should see a couple of dogs dancing. Straft until
you are in front of the dogs and toss a grenade. Grab the stuff there. Proceed to
the window where you will see 2 dogs running like mad - switch to a pistol or toss
in another grenades frying the 2 dogs. Jump in and switch to a shotgun for the
rest of the mission.
A Panzer dog and a normal dog will run in front of you. Its imperative that you
kill the panzer dog first. The panzer-dog will kneel and aim before firing. Once
you see that - you better shot him dead or else kiss your ass goodbye :P.
Grab the journel in the room. Objective 1 completed.
Proceed on and you will notice a small room by a side. Once you enter the doorway,
the dog in the room and another from the hall behind you will start to chase you.
Retreat back to the first room, pumping them full with lead as you retreat.
Proceed to grab the grenades and ammo in the room. Now go to the hall. You
will see another room on the left. This part is slightly tricky. Equip a grenade
and hold X. Go creep forward until you hear barking sounds and throw to the
direction of the doorway, quickly switching to the shotgun. About 4 dogs will run
from the room and the hall right in front of you - pray that the grenade explode
right on target, killing at least 2. Kill the rest with the shot gun. There should still
be one last dog in the room. Enter and grab the panzerknacker leg. Exit and
continue the hallway.
Before you carry on, you will notice a junction, to the left is an empty room,
with ammo, a machinegunner dog and another normal dog. To the right is another
dog. This is what you should do - walk forward into the junction, reverse back
when you hear barking sounds. The 3 dogs will carry out their attack and move
right into your targeting cursor. Take out the machinegunner dog first.
Carry on to the room on your right. You will see 2 dancing dogs. Throw a grenade
into the room to kill the 2 dogs. With your back facing the door, reverse into
the room. Aim the right of the door way and a Panzer dog will soon go into target.
Shoot him and the other 2 or 3 dogs that will run in. Grab the shotgun shells
Continue into the main hall, and you should see a room on the left. Like
previously, Toss a grenade into the door way and hope for the best. Equip a shotgun
and shoot the dog in the room. Get the Panzerknacker arm (sorry can't remember if
its here or another room similar to this ahead). Turn and face the doorway and
shoot the dog that comes running in.
Proceed on and you will see 2 more dogs. You will then see another junction.
Walk forward, attract attention, reverse, fry dogs, then go right to a room. Grab
the shotgun ammo, and go to the left branch. Shoot the 2 dogs. Beware, as you
go on, there are 2 dogs on the left side of the room. One is a Panzer and the
other is a MG (machinegunner). Shoot them both with a shotgun. Get the
Panzerknacker leg. 2nd Objective completed. Get the grenades, shoot the window,
and toss a grenade out, sending the 2 dogs outside to Oblivation. With your left
facing the wall, head straight and you will find a door. There is a Panzer here,
shoot him quickly.
Go past the window. There is a Panzer and a MG plus another dog at the end. The
Panzer will run around. Take him out first then the MG or you will regret it.
You are almost done... Now shoot the windows, and toss another grenade to kill
the dogs in the room. Jump in, and you will see Panzers running in. Shoot them
quickly. Get the last Panzerknacker arm. Proceed cautiously into the stairway.
Shooting panzers if you encounter any. Go up the stairs into the door.
Level complete ! Take a breather for a few seconds and REMEMBER TO SAVE !!!
Level 2 Rotten to the Corps
Mission Objectives: Find Panzerknacker Torso. Find Panzerknacker Head.
General Tatic
Well, at least thats the end of those pesky dogs. But truth is, it got worst.
Still, this level is easier then the previous. I only restarted about 7 times
(hehe). Now, you will probobly find shotguns and pistols unless. The weapon of
the game - BAR. Thats right, the accurate rapid fire machine gun of MOH. The
enemies you encounter here are MGs (these explode after dying like grenades!).
The MGs (which are robots like the dogs) process incredible marksmanship. If you
see them, SHOOT LIKE CRAZY. They take your life away very rapidly! Also they
explode when they die. So make sure you do not go near them after killing them.
Another to note is the armoured knight. Remember those you fought earlier on ?
Quite harmless in my opinion. Aim at their helms and squeeze off the BAR. If you
encounter both at once (quite frequently) shoot the MGs (machinegunners) first.
Go up the stairs. Grab the grenades - you'll need the 2 medikits really soon :P
equip the grenade and toss one into the hall ahead. Use a shotgun and shoot the
MGs that come running in. Take them out with your shotgun and grab their weapon.
Change to BAR (YESSsss). Oh yeah, take out that knight. By now you should have
noticed that I did not exgerrate on the deadly MGs. Grab your 2 Medikits if you
are not dead already, and grab the remaining ammo on the ground.
As you continue to the stairs, a MG and a knight will run down from a distance.
Shoot the MG first. Continue up the stairs. There is a MG hidden on the right at
the end of the stairs. Straft and shoot him. Another will appear at the doorway.
Straft Left out of the door way and you will see a MG and another knight in front
of you. Take them out. Round the corner, there is another MG.
A motor-vehicle will then appear. Try to get them with a grenade or from the room
with BAR. Try not to get heavy damage but I guess its kinda hard.
Proceed on and you will find another room. A MG will run out, followed by a knight.
If you use a shotgun here, you can take out the MG with a shot, then engage the
knight. The knight will use the shield to block, but the explosion of the MG
will kill him anyway :). Enter the room. Grab the box of ammo, look out of the
window and you will see a MG and a knight running about. Take them out with a
shotgun. Head into the next room and engage the MGs and a knight. If you do it
right, you could straft right into their face and fire a shotgun. Killing both
MGs at once.
Exit the room and carry on. A motor will appear - switch to a grenade and throw
it a them. A MG and a knight will follow behind them. Take them out with
prejudice hehe. Enter a room to the left and get the Panzerknacker Torso.
Objective 1 completed.
Before you turn round the corner, switch to a grenade. As soon as the 2 knights
come into view, release the X button and blow them away. Proceed forward and 2 MGs
and a knight comes into view. Target the MG quickly and fire off your BAR. Target
the other and kill him too. Finish off the knight last.
Ok. There are 2 knights in the left room. As usual, Straft right to the door,
release X button and throw a grenade in. Get the box of grenades in the room.
There is another room slightly up ahead to the right. There are 2 MGs in this one.
Hold your Bar and send them for the metal works. Theres nothing here except for
the ammo the MGs were carring.
Go forward and there is a room to your left. Hold X (grenade) and straft Left.
Send the 2 MGs and the knight to their makers. Make sure you THROW it AT them, not
on the floor, or else they will kick the grenade away. If you prefer it safe, back
out into the hallway and use your BAR. Now, enter the room, taking the left turn.
You will encounter 2 more MGs. Finish them off and get the Panzerknacker Head.
Objective 2 Complete. Turn back quickly and kill the 2 MGs that come running in.
Exit the room to the main corridor.
Forward is another room. Kill off the MGs and as you proceed up the stairs, you
will see 2 more MGs running. Shoot them before they shoot you. On the left, is
a room. Toss a grenade in to kill the 2 knights and grab the box of grenades there.
Carry on and you will notice the 2 MGs and a knight. Finish them and proceed down.
Shoot the knight at the far end and continue. From here on, its gonna get really
messy. Go a step a time, and the sudden appearance of MG or knights would not
bother you that much. Enter the first room on the left. This is rather tricky,
once you enter, there will be a knight on your right, a MG and a knight on your
left. Kill the MG first then the knight closest to you.
Proceed on and you will finally reach a corridor again. Kill off all those pesky
MGs and you will find 3 Knights at then end. Take them out with shotgun or a
pistol if you like, but you should be on a healthy side for ammo. Especially BAR.
Ignore the first room on the corridor. Be ready for MGs you will face. Keep
retreating the corridor if the knights or MGs swarm you. And keep those bullets
going. Go down the stairs and PHEW... wasn't so hard was it ? End of level.
Level 3: I, Panzerknacker
Mission Objectives: Build Panzerknacker. Escape castle.
General Tatic
Only one kind of enemy here. Panzerknacker. These are just like the MGs earlier on.
Except they are slightly bigger (which makes easier targets). Oh yeah... did
I mention the tank at the end...?
Relatively straight forward stage - I deem this the easiest of the 3 levels. Still
be ready for the enemies.
No enemy encounter until you build the Panzerknacker, so have a relaxing stroll
down the corridors to the room. Press SQUARE button as you approach the table.
Take care not to wonder off too far, or else you will attract the attention of
the Panzerknacker (MGs ok ? Troublesome to spell that everytime). Your
Pazerknacker will do a little dance and activate. Make sure you protect him - but
he wont last long anyway. Still its nice to have some bullet fodder. He can last
quite some damage. As soon as he is finished, he will engage a MG. Support him
BAR fire.
Carry on supporting him. You will see a room with plenty of meat hanging. Prone
down and crawl into the room to get the items in it. Follow your Panzerknacker
into the next room later. One good point is that, because of their size, you can
easily target them when they are hiding behind the doorway. Just support your
Panzer to enter the next room easily.
Enter the corridor with bluish hew. There are 3 MGs in the corridor. It would be
sucidal if your Panzer walk in, or you in any case. So just go near the door and
toss a grenade. Switch to BAR quickly. As soon as your Panzer walks in, support
him with heavy fire. Its recommanded you keep him alive here. Cause the next part
will be more or less of insane proportions.
Now you are in a room. You look through the door way and can see a seemly empty
room. There is a doorway to the front and another to the right of the room.
This part is EXTREMELY dangerous. I died many times here in fact :P Enter the
room quickly to attract attention of enemy. Then reverse back to the original
room. Get your BAR working. Keep repeating until you have cleared the room,
or at least you think so. Be wary of the doorway on the right. Likely an MG there.
I sacrificed my Panzerknacker here - let it die a worthy cause :P
Theres only a box of ammo in the room on the right, so I suggest skipping it.
Instead press forward and take good care of the pesky MGs running about. Put
an end to their misery I say :). There is quite a number here, so I suggest using
the retreating and engage tatic.
You will reach a hall with quite a number of meat slabes hanging about. Just
around the corner are a few MGs (as always). Do them quickly and advance.
You will see a crawl space and a way leading forward. IMO its better to skip to
the crawl space immediately, as there is quite a number of enemies otherwise.
Crouch and crawl, then stand up immediately. Carry on down the corridor.
There is a MG hiding behind the doorway. Shoot him immediately. See the steps
leading up to a room ? There is another MG there. Shoot him. That part is
optional. There is a Panzer equiped Panzerknacker there so I dont really recommand
that place. However there is a medikit there too.
Proceed on and you will see an MG. Kill him and advance. Be wary at the corridor.
On both sides of the doorway are 2 MGs. Kill them FAST! Now hide behind the
fountain. I hope you have plenty of shotgun, BAR ammo left, as well as a couple
of grenades. That tank gonna take some time and ammo to take out.
Start by using your shotgun. Keep strafting left and right behind the fountain.
Its very safe there - I substain zero hits from the tanks in fact. Keep firing
your shotgun. Its gonna hit the tank hard. Switch to BAR when shotgun ammo is
gone. And when you have taken out the turret, its safe to come out of your hiding
place. When you see the tank stopping - TAKE NOTE its adjusting its turret at you.
Straft to the very back of the fountain and cease fire. Repeat until tank is
destroyed. If you have enough grenades, Life (and guts) left, go ahead and scrape
it with grenades.
Remember this place ? It was where you started out. Run down the corridor and
through the gate. There is no more enemies. You have escaped. Objective 2
completed. Run to the very end and level ends. Pat yourself on the back for
completing the toughest mission on MOHU. Pat yourself a second time if your
Panzerknacker is still alive! (well mine wasnt :P)

In-Game Strategies
I'm going to list the more commonly encountered enemies, strategies on defeating
them with minimum loss of life and ammo.
Dogs (normal)
You only encounter these in mission 8. These dancing dogs are a pain in the butt.
Refer to my walkthrough on how to defeat them.
Dogs (MG equipped)
You only encounter these in mission 8. Refer to Machinegunners sub-section.
Dogs (Panzer equipped)
You only encounter these in mission 8. Refer to Panzer-men sub-section
Basically these troops are quite harmless. If you encounter them, simply take out
a pistol and do a headshot. Or if you prefer, you could also pump them full of
machine gun fire. If you hear the sound of an item being dropped - a "tok"
sound, RUN. Grenades aint exectly very healthy. Also equipped with grenades.
These troops are a pain. But one point to note is that, they are often very
inaccurate. If you encounter them, Crouch immediately and pump them full of MG
bullets. In Mission 8 however, their machinegun fire becomes very accurate due to
their BAR weaponary. Also equipped with grenades.
OK. These deal instant death, have high blast radius and long range. They have a
slow reload but who cares - one kills. These when encountered, will kneel down,
bring the tube over their shoulders and take aim, then fire. Kill them ASAP.
Once you see them fire, its usually too late to do anything but you could try
side strafting, jumping and proning.
Try to take cover for this one. Their MG fire can deal constant heavy damage to
you. A grenade will take care of this one, or you could try to snipe the drivers
from a safe distance. If you prefer to confront them directly, use a machinegun
and keep firing at them. Note though, you die instantly if they knock you down
or if you are caught in the explosion. A panzer will easily take out this one.
Half tracks have a vunurable back point. If you could run behind them, then you
can deal damage to them with relative ease. Take out the gunner on the vehicle
first though. Throwing a grenade on the halftrack will do the trick.
Try not to use weapons other then grenades, oil bottles and panzers. Normal gun
fire deals almost neglictable damage to armoured vehicles.
Just thank the game producers that they are not plentyful in the game. Tanks
consist of one main turret and a machine gun attached. The main turret fire
will take out 50% of your life, but is very easy to avoid. Your main concern
would be their MG though. If you see the tank stopping and turret moving in your
direction... get the @!#$!#$ out of there.
Their blind spot is their back. Get behind one of these and you would have no
problem. 4 - 5 panzer shells should blow them up good. If not, use grenades.
What is worst is usually, these are accompied by ground troops. You will usually
encounter at least a MG and a Panzer troop with these. Kill the troops from a
distance first so that you could concentrate on the tank later.
Scenario 1
| x o = you
| x = enemy troops
| __x_____________
| |
| |
| |
| o | -> You are facing into the wall in the direction of the arrow.
| |
This is quite a common situation. You go around the corner and there are 2 enemy
troops in wait to pump you full of bullets. Face the wall as shown in the diagram.
Equip grenades or oil bottles. Hold X, then straft left (as in the diagram).
Once you see the enemies, release X. You should throw the grenade right into
their faces and NOT on the floor. If you practice, it'll be relatively easy to
perform this move. I cant emphiese enough on the importance of strafting.
Alternatively, you could also just straft left and spray machine gun fire on them.
A common mistake is people tend to target the head area when spraying machinegun
fire. This will miss ALOT as MG is inaccurate. Instead, aim the NECK area. Only
target the head when you are equipped with a pistol or a sniper rifle.
Another tatic if there were more troops would be to just directly run forward
to attract the enemy attention. Then immediately reverse to original position,
crouch and wait for the enemy to run around the corner. This is especially
effective when there are concentrate numbers of troops ahead the bend.
Scenario 2
| | __________
| | | |
| |_____|x | o = you
| | x = enemy troops
| __1__ | 1 = enemy troop
| | |x |
| | | |
| | |__________|
| o |
| |
| |
This is another common scenario. A room beside a corridor. The room is usually
optional but may sometimes contain objectives. They ALWAYS have enemies though.
x refers to the likely position of the enemy troops. Like in situation 1,
you could straft left, hold and release grenade. BTW whenever I encounter a
seemly empty room (I cant see all of the room), I would toss a grenade in.
This is useful by that 1) You directly take out troops in the blast radius
2) You attract enemy attention - they run and pick up grenade then get shot in
the leg by your machine gun (try that seriously hehehe) 3) The result explosion
attracts enemy to investigate - then get blown up by another grenade thrown :)
If you know that there is an enemy standing in the doorway (1) Try tossing a
grenade in front of the door. Its almost certain that the enemy will try to
kick it away.
Scenario 3 (Walkthru Mission7 Level 3)
__ _____ T=tank,half-track or Motor
| o | o=you
| |
| |
| |
In this case, you are in a room and moving to a clearing. There is a tank moving
around outside the room. The first thing to do is kill off all the enemy troops.
How ? 1) Throw a grenade outside and hope that enemies come to kick it away. 2)
Run out to attract attention, then draw back into the room and wait for them
to come running in. Its that simple. Just make sure you kill off all the ground
troops before taking on the tank(s). In mission 7, after you engage the traitor,
3 tanks will come. This part can be extremely easy or difficult depending on your
tatic. This is what I did - At the start of the mission, I equip an oil bomb, hold
X, face the wall, then straft right to the faces of the 2 enemies.

Ok this part is hard. You will have plenty of practices strafting section 1
cause you will keep dying :P. Ok, so now, go to 1 - Take out your sniper rifle
and aim at the traitor (at 2). Dont even bother to rendezvous with that guy,
because once you do, he will take out his pistol and start shooting you.
(Does it remind you of yourself going undercover as the photographer?)
So much for the spoiler.
Once you shoot that guy, enemy troops will start popping out everywhere. At my
last count, I got about 18 kills in this part already! So... just run back to
3, take out your sniper rifle, crouch, and aim at position 1. hehe.. you wont
believe how many troops will have their heads there. Just make sure you snipe
those Panzers first. If no more troop comes, then equip your MG. Run forward to
1 to scout. If no troops are alive, run to position 2 and grab the Panzer.
Run to the midpoint between 1 and 3, aim your panzer at the tanks that go past.
You wont have enough Panzer Ammo to kill off all the tanks. Use oil flask after
taking out 1 tank. (there should be 2). After killing both tanks, another will
pop out. Just swipe to a panzer and take care of it.

A home-state cowboy did well at the Buffalo Bill Rodeo today.
The Gering cowboy drew a good steer and took advantage of it.
"I knew he was supposed to be good. I got a great start, and he was good," he said.
North Platte is Gorsuch's first rodeo after suffering a torn elbow ligament. The injury happened during practice, and Gorsuch hasn't competed since last month at the Challenge of Champions in Spanish Forks, Utah.
The elbow "feels good to bulldog," he said, "but it hurts to do normal things." He plans to have Tommy John surgery after the rodeo season ends, and after competing at the National Finals Rodeo, he hopes.
"I gotta make it there first, but we keep trying," he said.
He's currently ranked eighth in the world.
Gorsuch competed on his second go-round steer during slack but didn't fare as well. "My second one, I should have done a lot better. I was going to make another fast run, and I should have just slowed down." His time was 11.1 seconds, too slow to place in the second go-round and in the average.
Gorsuch and his traveling partners, Rhett Kennedy (currently leading the second go-round with a time of 3.5 seconds), Gary Gilbert, Josh Peek, and Aaron Vosler will leave for a rodeo in Pleasant Grove, Utah on Friday. They will make their way on to Reno, Nev., Greeley, Colo., and then Cowboy Christmas, the Fourth of July run, the busiest part of the pro rodeo season.
Sometimes his sons Taydon (9), Trell (5) and Teagan (14 months) travel with him, but not on this trip. They'll stay home with mom Bekah, play baseball, and wait for dad to come home.
North Platte is a special rodeo for him -- as close to a hometown rodeo as he can get.
"I feel like this is my hometown rodeo. You get to see family and friends, and I love it. My grandpa ranched north of Mullen and neighbored with (fellow NFR qualifier and bareback rider) Steven Dent. I love this rodeo."
Other leaders from the Thursday night performance:
• Bareback rider Troy Vaira, Richey, Mont., (78 points).
• Steer wrestler Denard Butler, Warner, Okla. (4.5 seconds).
• Cody Quaney, Cheney, Kan. (9.2).
• Team ropers Chace Thompson, Munday, Texas and Jett Hillman, Purcell, Okla. (5.1).
Barrel racers Cindy Gillespie, Ransom, Kan., and Amy Prather of Goddard, Kan., both with times of 17.66 seconds.
In saddle bronc riding and bull riding, the horses and bulls won. There were no qualified rides in either event.
Thursday night was "Tough Enough to Wear Pink" night at the rodeo, and three cancer survivors: Kandi Franklin of Brule, Amberlee Martin of Stapleton, and Terry Martin of North Platte were honored.
All three women went through the Callahan Cancer Center at the Great Plains Regional Medical Center.
Night No. 3 of the Buffalo Bill Rodeo is Friday, June 20 at the Wild West Arena in North Platte.
Tickets are available online at www.NebraskaLandDays.com, at the NLD office or at the gate.

[quote]Explosive claim of former friar who says half of recruits are gay. Mark Dowd says gay men are 'massively over-represented' within Church.
[quote]Mark Dowd, who is now a journalist, said research for his 2001 Channel 4 documentary Queer and Catholic suggested that at least half of people attracted into seminaries in the priesthood are gay.
What's refreshing is how intelligent and articulate this man, Mark Dowd, a gay former friar is.

The sudden death of Los Angeles Unified school board member Marguerite Poindexter LaMotte has set off a touchy debate about how to select her successor. The board could simply appoint the new man or woman. Or it could call a special election in LaMotte's South L.A. district.
Whatever good arguments some board members make in favor of appointing the replacement are unraveled by their actions. It's clearer than ever that the selection must be left to voters.
The decision — to appoint or elect — was supposed to be made at the board's meeting Tuesday. But after the board listened to emotional pleas from advocates of each method, a resolution by President Richard Vladovic to actually make the decision produced a 3-3 vote. The issue has been carried over to a meeting on Jan. 7.
This would be simply another case of government officials kicking a can down a road if it weren't for the hypocrisy involved. The best point in favor of board members appointing their next colleague is that this would be quicker than an election. Member Bennett Kayser wrote in a newspaper commentary that the board should "act rapidly and decisively" to make an appointment, and that a months-long election campaign would leave District 1 without representation for too long.
Whereupon Kayser turned around and joined Monica Ratliff and Steve Zimmer in voting to put the issue off for two weeks. Hmm. It seems Kayser is for rapidity and decisiveness the way Gene Wilder's Frankenstein is for quiet dignity and grace.
Why the would people who believe (as Kayser wrote) that a new board member should be appointed swiftly because LaMotte "would demand that her communities be represented," now think a couple of weeks' holdup is OK?
The ostensible answer is that they were swayed by some L.A. community leaders, and some speakers at Tuesday's LAUSD board meeting, who said it would dishonor LaMotte's memory to fill her position so soon after her death. Congresswoman Maxine Waters said it would be a "violation of African-American custom and practice to replace (LaMotte) before the conclusion of services and interment." (LaMotte, 80, died Dec. 5.)
Another interpretation of Tuesday's push for delay is that Waters and others who favor the appointment of retired educator George McKenna to LaMotte's seat want to buy time to build support. That's politics, and it's not the way to pick a school board member who will serve out a term that runs through mid-2015.
This is happening at the same time as some California leaders are pushing to eliminate special elections for state legislative offices that come open in mid-term. Appointments might be faster and cheaper, but they're undemocratic.
In the LAUSD case, the selection of the new member is an opportunity to tip the balance on a school board toward supporters of Superintendent John Deasy's reform agenda — or not to.
Either way, it a choice that residents of LaMotte's district should get to make. All L.A. residents should tell the school board: Let them vote.

Watch movies in 3D on new Airbus jets
Airlines who buy Airbus's revamped version of its A330 jet will be able to offer passengers 3D movies starting in late 2017 when the first of the airplanes are delivered.
The ability to play 3D movies on new seatback screens will be part of the A330 Neo's newin-flight entertainment system that Airbus will install on the jets, making airplanes one of the last remaining holdouts for 3D programming.
The A330 Neo will also feature improved HD video capabilities, faster Wi-Fi and other forms of mobile connectivity through its fourth-generation in-flight entertainment system; full-LED mood lighting; wider seats; and better fuel consumption due to new engines and aerodynamics.
The A330 is Airbus's most popular wide-body plane, in terms of sales, and competes with Boeing's new Dreamliner.
There's no word yet on whether you'll need to wear 3D glasses to watch the movies or if Airbus will install new screens that don't require the extra headwear.

Second-order uncertainty
Those not trained in statistics often find the expression 'stable random process' quite puzzling. "How", they ask, "can a process be both stable and random?" The answer, of course, is that any one draw is random and, hence, unknowable in advance. If the random process is stable, however, then sizeable samples will exhibit broadly similar characteristics, such as the mean, the dispersion (standard deviation), the degree of symmetry or lack thereof (skewness), and the tendency for probability in t

Former Kennedy Center chairman Stephen Schwarzman — chairman and co-founder of private equity giant The Blackstone Group — has donated millions to the performing arts center.
And now he has donated the use of his personal helicopter.
Movie stars Ben Stiller and Matthew Broderick needed last-minute transportation between New York and Washington to help fete friend Will Ferrell, who won this year's Mark Twain Award for comedy at the Oct. 23 Kennedy Center celebration.
With top performers in a squeeze, Schwarzman swung into action, offering his helicopter so the show could go on.
"There are far too few laughs in Washington these days, so I was happy to help out the Kennedy Center when they asked," Schwarzman said in an e-mail.
Schwarzman did his part. So did his successor and private equity rival, Carlyle Group co-founder and current Kennedy Center Board Chairman David M. Rubenstein.
Rubenstein said the sold-out Twain event reeled in a record $1.2 million for the Kennedy Center.
Rubenstein had help from many businesses and from Dallas businessman Laurence Hirsch — who is a director at Freddie Mac — and his wife, Susan, who co-chaired the event with longtime District residents and philanthropists Marilyn and Bill Lane. Lane was in the automobile dealership business in Washington.
Jack Fitzgerald, local auto dealer turned grassroots organizer, is turning his attention to a new cause: the estate tax.
The gravel-voiced businessman, born poor on North Capitol and K street, has helped to found Americans Standing for the Simplification of the Estate Tax.
"We've been in and out of 100 offices and organizations," said Fitzgerald. "We haven't been thrown out yet. People are interested in it. Our proposal eliminates the forced closure of a business or of a farm to pay a 35 percent estate tax, which may soon be raised to 55 percent."
The coalition hopes to have a bill before Congress in 2012.
The Carlyle Group has been up to a lot in the eight weeks since it filed documents to go public.
Randy Whitestone, 50, joined Carlyle's communications group from asset manager Neuberger Berman, which was spun off from Lehman Brothers after the collapse.
The Carlyle PR team, at 13 strong, has grown from zero a decade ago. The firm's growth, and the accompanying scrutiny of the financial services industry, are the reason for the increase.
Carlyle's deal guys have been hopscotching from the U.K. to North Carolina to India, Virginia, Hong Kong and Spain, gobbling up a financial services technology company, a major pharmaceutical testing company, a student travel organization, a digital technology software outfit and a telecommunications equipment provider.
Buy low, sell high?
Social marketing pioneer Pete Snyder and New Media Strategies brass will be ringing the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange this Thursday, celebrating NMS partnering with the stock exchange for the first-ever NYSE Social Media Day.

Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center is turning its waterfront land into RiverView Terrace, a new private event space that will accommodate up to 1,200. When it opens in spring of 2012, it will be the largest D.C. area venue right on the Potomac.

Personal, which helps people manage data about themselves, is also adding Harriet Seitler, who is executive vice president of Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Studios, to its board of advisers.

We're continuing the Bombshell blitz with Robyn from Detroit, Michigan:
She says, "Recently moved to Chicago at the beginning of Summer, but my style is D-Girl Fresh :)."
"I'm a curvy girl so I like to wear anything that looks cute, not too revealing, sexy, with a touch of swag."
" I mix and match pieces a lot. Rarely do I wear "outfits" or things that are intentionally supposed to go together."
"If I had to choose a brand I like best, it would be BCBG. I shop there the most. Everything there is classic and can be work time after time in different ways. I love it!"
".. I also shop at Forever 21 (regular and Plus sizes), H&M, or wherever I see something that stands out to me."
Alright! You better work it, curvy girl. My favorite might be your all white look. You're giving me ideas on what to wear to an all white party I have coming up.

Health Reform Brings New Customers, Concerns for Health Insurers
Health reform could help the insurance industry more than any specific aspect in healthcare by drawing in tens of millions of new customers and billions of dollars of more revenue.
For many insurers, they are definitely keen on the idea of an individual mandate, which, estimates suggest, will bring 32 million to insurance, according to healthcare experts. The figures have certainly mooted criticism insurers voiced about the health bill in recent months.
Insurers say upcoming changes, such as covering pre-existing conditions are long overdue, but experts say insurers are concerned about unfolding regulations surrounding the legislation, and customers may face massive confusion as they all try to sort out specifics of new rules.
Experts also said that insurers are worried that while insurance will be required for all Americans, some people—especially the young and healthy—may forgo insurance altogether and just pay the annual penalty, less than $700 a year, leaving insurers in search of less costly customers instead of people who require more care.
Still, some insurers were more enthusiastic than others in reacting to the passage of the healthcare reform bill. However, the healthcare plans were steadfast in maintaining that the legislation doesn't address the underlying issues for real reform, such as medical costs.
Such provisions are "long overdue," and are of "historical significance," said David Corani, president and CEO of CIGNA Corp. But Corani was critical about the overall congressional action saying, "It is CIGNA's strong belief this law does not adequately improve quality and address the dramatic cost increases of our healthcare delivery system."
"In particular, we must change from pay per service or quantity to pay for outcomes and efficiency," Corani added.
The legislation channels $875 billion to expand insurance coverage over the next decade, with most changes slated to begin in 2014. The bill eliminates pre-existing conditions from coverage decisions and provides full coverage for preventative services.
America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP), the insurance lobby, believes that the coverage expansions included in the bill represent "a significant step forward," said Karen Ignagni, president and CEO in a brief statement after the House vote. But AHIP also expects the legislation to "exacerbate the healthcare costs crisis facing many working families and small businesses," Ignani said.
In recent months, AHIP had worked against the legislation after initially favoring it. A few days before releasing Ignani's statement, AHIP criticized the legislation as lacking a "system-wide approach that would actually bend the cost curve downward." AHIP also said the legislation would "encourage people to wait to purchase coverage until they are sick, which unfairly penalizes those who currently have coverage."
The AHIP statement noted that 23 million Americans would remain uninsured once this bill is fully implemented.
A key moment in the Obama administration's effort to rally public support for healthcare reform came earlier this year when it was disclosed that Anthem Blue Cross proposed a 39% rate hike in the individual market in California.
Kristen Binns, a spokeswoman for WellPoint, owner of Anthem Blue Cross, said the company is "extremely pleased to see that more Americans will now have access to coverage."
Saying that the priority is meeting the "healthcare security needs" of the company's 34 million members, Binns added, "We remain concerned that the bill passed yesterday does not address long-term cost containment measures that will make the system sustainable."
