In a furious burst of budget cutting the Ukiah City Council has slashed several dollars from the city manager's annual salary.
The victim was Jane Chambers, and speculation immediately began to circulate that the cutbacks would force her to eat meals at Plowshares and refurbish her dowdy wardrobe at Goodwill.
Plus, her $300 monthly car expense padding will be reduced so that she is only paid for the miles she actually drives, fueling rumors that she would soon be commuting to and from city hall on an MTA bus.
Oh ha ha ha, just kidding. Jane Chambers won't suffer any actual cuts to her salary, or at least none she'll be able to notice. Her $150,000 a year salary remains untouched despite the fact her pay seems crazily exorbitant to anyone who doesn't "work" in a government setting.
What Chambers will actually lose is negligible. And remember, fellow citizen, that she and the City Council will find ways to sneak the money back into her paycheck when no one's looking, and when they do it sure won't be announced on the front page of the Daily Journal like her "salary cut" was.
Beyond any of this, however, are some rather obvious things: A lot of the money she is supposedly losing is pay she now receives for things that make no sense. Chambers has long been getting an additional $8,700 a year in "executive" pay. Does that seem right to you?
I mean, isn't that what we pay her the $150,000 for? To be the city's chief executive? To do, you know, "executive" work? Being the Ukiah City Manager and then getting major bonus money for managing things seems a wee bit excessive. It's like a plumber charging $75 an hour and then billing an extra $40 for bringing a wrench to work.
Then there is the $16,500 she gets in merit pay. How does the city define "merit" anyway? Not dying? Not being arrested and charged with felonies? Most of us would assume that any extra pay above a base of $150,000 ought to somehow be related to extraordinary achievement on the part of the recipient. This cannot be said for Jane Chambers.
Is there a single person who thinks the city of Ukiah is humming along at such a bizwow clip that bonus payments to its executives are justified?
She's been in charge during some of the city's goofiest decisions in memory. Let's see if we can't list some of her towering triumphs, the kinds of bold steps that demonstrate executive leadership that cries out for extra more bonus executive pay:
Never met a problem so small that a consultant wasn't needed.
The city helped to pay some guy to dream up a slogan that has been laughed at by everyone who heard it, in spite of the fact that the $20,000 it cost us was no joke. What next? If the grass in front of city hall grows too tall will Chambers hire a consultant to tell her what to do?
How about Jane's infatuation with Swami Bob's Circles o' Triangles Ennagram Power Mode Instructional program? If that isn't de facto evidence of mental deficiency I'd hate to see what is.
How much did the Ennagram nonsense cost the taxpayers, anyway? And can Jane point to a single example or decision she's made utilizing the cryptic magic system that has brought the city benefits?
She's a strong proponent of a Costco store coming to town, and so is everybody else who thinks the best thing Ukiah could possibly do is to make itself just like every other identity-free town in the country. I just adore those corporate, franchised, big box strip malls, don't you?
She loves that Redevelopment money, and sometimes even spends it on actual redevelopment projects. The rest? Spent like it's a slush fund.
Support (funded by grant money, naturally) for a bike trail somewhere along the railroad tracks. No one will use it except the heavily armed.
Great big garbage rate hikes.
When the Chief of Police suggested perhaps the lavish benefits ladled out to drifters and trimmers and bums might draw more such losers to the city, he got a quick and harsh scolding from Madame Chambers. She said he was exaggerating things.
She needs to get out of the office more.
The Chambers Plan for the Grace Hudson Museum was to shut the place down, lay the workers off and save a bunch of money. Very creative.
But hey, at least we have twinkie tree lights in two blocks of downtown streets, just like Palm Springs, plus we have colorful tiles telling pedestrians how to walk around town. Well, at least we did until it rained one day and 90 percent of the tiles washed away.
Cost? Probably less than a few years of Jane's bonus merit pay.

West Flemish flags unfurl for Obama
The Waelkens studio is a mix of high-tech and handicraft. This family business started as a manufacturer of priestly vestments in 1926. At a later stage they extended their operations with embroidery for a number of Belgian clothing brands and even later they started manufacturing flags. The business managed even to sell their flags to the great of the earth, with even the White House boasting their handicraft. "Our flags are obviously much more expensive than printed flags, but the customer gets what he asks for. These flags look much more chic and have so much more allure. They are showpieces," says David Waelkens, who runs the business with his brother Benedikt. The NATO headquarters and European Commission also unfurl Waelkens flags but the most exclusive ones which probably sell at around 500 euros apiece, are those hanging in the offices of Barroso and Van Rompuy. These exclusive flags are what earns the company its reputation, with the bulk of their volumes made up by the printed versions used as promotional flags for businesses or football clubs. Initially all flags were embroidered, explains David. But that all changed with the emergence of silk-screen printing in the eighties and then the digital printing press that followed. Waelkens jumped on both bandwagons, but did not forsake the earlier roots of the craft. "Theoretically high wages would force you to relocate the craft, but that cannot happen from one day to the next. It takes three to four years to train an apprentice. We only have four employees who are masters at this craft. In fact, they are artists." Waelkens, which employs 20 employees and 20 labourers, invested millions in new digital printing machines in the past few years. "Digital printing for small orders will remain a local business. It gives us the flexibility to offer a fast service to our local customers," says David. The brothers don't want to relocate abroad, but will not make any more investments for the time being. They have however increased their focus on their plant in Romania, which has seen its order book fill in the past six years with promotional flags and banners for big brand labels like Renault, Coca-Cola and AB InBev. "Delocalisation was unavoidable and saved us," they say, insisting that it's impossible to sustain a production line in a country with high wages like Belgium. In Romania, on the other hand, the work they produce with their screen-printers can compete with China as far as price is concerned. Despite continuous competition on the market, Waelkens still ranks among the last ten flag producers in Europe, with close contender Wollux in Moeskroen also still surviving. "The market has dropped because of the crisis. But we are still growing. During the past two years we managed an annual turnover of 15 to 20 percent each year," says David, who attributes this fact to newly discovered markets and part of the production volume of liquidated competitors they could incorporate.

The incredibly talented and creative, Damien Hirst, is no stranger to controversy and thinking far outside of the box. Well word came down today that Mr. Hirst has submitted plans for his own seaside city in Britain. This is definitely a big step for any artist, but Damien could be the one to pull something beautiful off. Word is that Damien has drawn up plans to build an entire town, spread across 187 acres of land in Devon, which is close in proximity to where his controversial statue of a pregnant woman sits.
The inspiration for the town lies in the inspiration that Hirst wants to design homes that he, himself would want to live in. In total the design incorporates 750 houses, a school, shops, health center, offices, sports pitches, playgrounds and cycle paths, including land from Hirst's own Devon home. He has submitted a planning application to North Devon council which will see a township, however, there have been concerns from the local community as residents in the area are worried that the new plans will not only invade their privacy. Sounds intriguing right? We'll keep you posted as news becomes available.

A judge dismissed a lawsuit that owners of a tourism business along Alligator Bayou filed against Ascension and Iberville parishes, according to a copy of a summary judgment signed Jan. 25 in 23rd Judicial District Court.
The lawsuit was filed by Frank Bonifay, one of the owners of the Spanish Lake Wildlife Refuge and Botanical Gardens Inc., which ran Alligator Bayou Swamp Tours from 1996 until 2009.
In early 2009, officials of the two parishes decided to open a floodgate that separates Alligator Bayou from Bayou Manchac, and the water levels became too low to operate the swamp tours. Alligator Bayou Swamp Tours went out of business, and Bonifay sued the parishes and the East Ascension Consolidated Gravity Drainage District No. 1.
However, the court found that the parishes were acting within their authority when they opened the floodgate.
"This court does not find that the parishes owed a duty to maintain the artificially high water level of Alligator Bayou, regardless of whether or not a promise was made or inferred to do so," Judge Thomas Kleibert Jr. wrote in the reasons for judgment. "To the contrary, with regard to the floodgate, the parishes' duty is to protect its citizens from flooding, as supported by its authority to regulate drainage."
The judge continued, "Based upon the evidence before this court, it is clear that the parishes' decision to open the floodgate was directly related to drainage and flood prevention and control. While the loss of the Plaintiff's eco-tourism business is admittedly a tragic consequence stemming from the opened floodgate, it cannot be said to have been an unforeseeable possibility."
Efforts to reach Ascension Parish President Tommy Martinez and Bonifay's attorney for comment late Tuesday were unsuccessful.

" Brand: Travelpro / Type: Hand Luggage / Style: Holdall / Duffle Bag "
I bought the travelpro tpro lite xtreme expandable duffel in june to hold all my luggage for my weeks holiday in france. I wanted a fancy case but money was tight. After searching amazon uk i decided to buy this because it was at a bargain price reduced from £29.99 to just £14.99 so snapped it up straight away however i wished i hadn't.
I never learn when i see items reduced heavily from the rrp price i automatically think its a great buy instead of thinking it could be cheap because its rubbish well this is how i feel with this luggage bag.
When the bag came it was wrapped in clear plastic. There is no other colour choice blue only. The bag is a good size measuring 32 inches long and can hold 65 litres.
The travelpro tpro lite xtreme is made from thin nylon, it has a pocket on the side of the bag with zips, a handy place for storing flip flops etc. The top of the bag has a zip going around the middle in an oblong shape, this does not open the top of the bag right up but enough room to pack clothes in it.
On one end of the bag are a set of wheels made from plastic and hollow these are really small and at the opposite end of the bag is a zip compartment that unzips to give you a pull out handle for pulling the bag along the ground. If its not to heavy you can use the carry handles attached to the top of the bag.
Inside the bag is a long piece of plastic lining the bottom of the bag, the edges of this plastic is sharp and i cut my finger on it.
So i managed to pack my clothes and went on holiday for the week. My bag went on the plane from london and one hour or so later come of in france and as i pulled the handle out to roll it the handle snapped right off.
After i got back from my holiday there was also lots of little tears on both side of the bag and one of the wheels had split.
I never over packed as i travel light as possible so this was a real disappointment. Needless to say i let the company know how poorly made the bag is, its so cheap and tacky looking and didn't ever survive one trip, i did get a refund but i recommend you all avoid buying this product.
I do not recommend the travelpro tpro lite xtreme expandable duffel.

What do you think my nickname is?
The two front-runners in the Republican presidential primary are commonly addressed by their nicknames. Though we refer to the former Speaker of the House as Newt, his real first name is Newton. His rival Mitt Romney's real name is Willard Mitt Romney.
Nicknames are very common in English. The word nickname comes from an Old English word ekename, which meant "an additional name" and dates back to the 1300s. Some nicknames have obvious roots: Kim for Kimberley, Jim for James, Nick for Nicholas. Others are a little harder to wrap your mind around. How do you get Peggy from Margaret? Bo for William? Chuck from Charles? Polly from Mary?
Learn more about how our given names influence our lives here.
But what about our current candidates? Gingrich's first name originally meant "new town" and has been used as a surname in English for over 1,000 years. (Newton is the 367th most common surname according to the U.S. Census.) Romney's name dates back even farther than that. You can still find Romney on a map of England. As early as the 700s, "romney" literally meant "spacious river" in Old English and came to be associated with a region of southeast England called the Romney Marsh. (Romney is not even in the top 1000 most common surnames; neither is Gingrich.)
Nicknames are often just the shortening of a name, but they may sometimes be hypocoristics, meaning an endearing pet name, like Debbie for Deborah. Another interesting trend in nicknaming: Parents have started calling their kids by unusual nicknames for common names, such as Zander for Alexander, Drew for Andrew, or Toph for Christopher.
Here are a few words to help you talk about names. A surname is commonly called a last name, and your first name is technically called your forename or given name. Onomastics is the study of proper names.Here are a few of our other favorite given name/nickname variations: Sally for Sarah Teddy for Edward Tilly for Matilda Jack for John Betty for Elizabeth
What are your favorite nicknames?
What do you think my nickname is?
Nice and impressive article.
Mmy name is Kelsey, but my friends call me KK since those are my initials….most people at our school go by their last name like…
Peters, ect.
some dont like their last name (like me) so we give them diff names (like KK)
I'm a writer, and one of my male characters is named Lucentio (after one of the main characters in "The Taming of the Shrew"). Blythe, a sadistic colleague of his, calls him "Lucie," much to his chagrin.
The word "hypocoristic" is rather appropriate in this case. I'll consider using it in my story.
My name is Naysia sound's like asia but some people normally call me Nay,or Nay-Nay, Niyah, also Navsia, including NaNa. HEY every body this is the real Naysia come and check it out and tell me how you like it yes I do wrote also:)
Well my name is Ashli so most people call me "ashes" for short, but my friend calls me "asha".
my name is mary torres everyone calls me marie or kookie
I love this blog. I'm addicted to it. This particular post was a real eye-opener for me because I've never heard the use of Toph for Christopher.
My friend call me tomy for my nickname
The nickname 'Dick' for 'Richard' is derived from the two words "rich" and "hard" (the 'h' gets double duty here).
Because I'm shcizoprhenic.
Why are you answering you ownd email?
if you have so many names to begin with why did you put Gregory in the middle of your email address/
My name is Leo Cormac Shanahan Dunn and I come from Lowell Ma where nick names are King.
Leek, Leeko, Shamas, Corky and All Dunn have been my handles through the years.
Where does Dick for Richard come from??
My name is Skye, and I don't really have a nick name, but I get called Star a lot…and my closest friends call me Skybie, Skee, Skee Lee, and Kabob; I just don't "go by it" per se.
Kabob? Well, it takes a lil' o' this and a lil' o' that to get a youngin', so…I reckon that makes sense.
I thought I posted something to this block yesterday; however, I can't seem to find anything of mine. Wonder went wrong!
However, here is another one as I post today.
To answer to the above … see no reason why not as long as president can deliver the goods to the ppl that elected him/her as their president to the office.
Thanks for the article.
Cysia for Marcelina
Interesting article.
@Melody: Mel is a good nickname.
@ Nina: Raanumani supposed to be Ranugem; gem, as in diamond, pearl, emarald, ruby, sapphire and such gemstones. Then again why not dear Ranu since those gems are highly priced or very expensinve; they are dear and so is/has our Ranu become dear or dearRanu.
In my name's case I like the nickname my name is Lourdes and in Mexico,
they call us "Lulu" [ with a strong accent in the last "u", not like the British Lulu on which they accentuate the first "u", here in the USA they just shorten it to "Lou".
Though strictly speaking being part of a stage name H. Vernon Watson, a popular English Variety artist in the 1920s, was wellknown as Nosmo.
When he set out on the stage he was stuck for a memorable name for himself, when he saw the half open backstage door which was parted and the two halves of the door spelled "No Smo" and "king". From that moment he never looked back as quite a famous stage artist "Nosmo King", for which the short version was Nosmo
No mention is made of nicknames from last names, like Mac or Whit.
My first name doesn't loan itself too well for a nickname, it being short as it is.
In the military, last names are frequently used, and I developed many nicknames from that. I was often called Cold Beer (the name is Colbert, just like the comedian), but now I often get called Bear (which I don't resemble).
As for getting elected President with a nickname, remember Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Or even further back: Ike Eisenhower.
Joshy for Joshua. Ladies LOVE to call me Joshy.
use to be smoothie, but just too many smoothies out there so i became the one and only smoothius! now no copying!
Still Dog, Dog.
" Mine is Goose- when I was born, my mom said I looked like a goose"
Ha, that is hilarious…cool nick name though.
JK my nick name is tony
GET A Life People
My real name is Sydney, I looked it up (best name site in the world => http://www.behindthename.com/ ) and my name means "wide island" nice, right? Now I go by Siddie, which means "star-like" and my close friends call me Squid.
i do think that because it would be just about the cuties thing like my name is niera but i have a couple like , ni,noz,fatty mc fat fat i think they are all cute and i love them all …
Mmm I like my names they're common but i get a lot of nicknames.
Francisco= Frank, Francis, Franco, cisco, etc..
Xavier= Xavi, Xmen(LOL) and so on so on.
My first wife called me Joey, and a few kids in elementary school called me "Mole". But my granddaughter is named Victoria (after her great-grandmother, who went by Vicky), and her nickname is Tori.
I want to know how you get Eddie from Theodore and Ted from Edward….
I was born Elizabeth. There are WAY too many nicknames for this name:
And so on…
I'm sure I've even missed a few. So I changed my name to Surina. Now my only nickname is Surain, which is a common mis-typing.
I have had many nicknames myself such as izzy or my favorite, bella, as my name is isabella. I do not like my orignal name, and am glad i have a few nicknames! Phew!
My name already is short but people still
seem to give me nicknames which I adore them all.
Amba, Amby, Amberlina, Amberlin, Adda, Bambi, and even Elmo.
nicknames are fun… I'm from El Salvador and we use the nickname "Chamba" for Salvador… I still don't get it… even though that's my name What makes it even funnier is that in Mexico, "Chamba" means work!
You did not answer the question you posed:
"Can you run for president with a nickname?"
What about it?
When my sister Amanda married Andrew, we called them Amandrew.
"Monkey" for "Mikey" (which was short for Michael, of course)
"Sher Bear" (share bear) for Sherran
When I worked as a CSS at Walmart, I called myself "Visa" because I'm everywhere you want me to be.
**To Nshera: I would give you the nickname "Cherie."
[...] 'Nicknames' whatever Nicholas wants to name though some translations are increasingly silly: Sarah/Sally; Teddy/Edward; Betty, Jack and Tilly — Are they really nick's of names or GW's — Dog — Willy Nilly? — Slick or Slim or Craze for Him — Why should one simply concur? — The simplification of Nicholas — Not 'hypocoristic' in some view. — Less formal sounding eloquence, — fitting another shoe. — "Lemonhead" on the other hand or a 'Newt' as an amphibious Salamander — Mitt is for the Catcher — From the Point we do meander. — The Nicknames here presented would be Jonathon/ Jon for Short or 'Shorty'? –>>L.T.Rhyme [...]
I think nicknames form froma name. Like my name, It starts with a SH and these were my nicknames shanny, sha, and now shata. but when i was little my mother use to call me cookie monster and cheche that was bad but I love nicknames
Peg for Margaret. Go figure.
You call Mitt a nickname, but then you say it's his middle name. That's different, isn't it?
@ Alicia
There is a nickname for Alicia, it is Licha
The article title asks a question, which is never answered in the body of the article, and only referred to tangentially at best.
The second paragraph asks another set of questions, which I find more interesting:
How do you get Peggy from Margaret? Bo for William? Chuck from Charles? Polly from Mary?
This too is left unanswered, so I'm left wondering.
Instead we get a brief history of the Republican candidates' surnames, then a vague discussion of nicknames and naming terminology with little real information. I'm heavily disappointed.
I like the nickname for my own name, Terry, and which appears to be limited to London, England. I was born London and onely Londoners have ever used my nickname: Tel or Tell. Tedge is another version though not limited to London.
An Aussie named Trev called me Tel as a nickname. Is Tel really just limited to London? So considering Terry is a nickname, then Tel is a nickname of Terry, and the root name is Terence. Have I got this right?
Do Tell?
vivsy from vivek
and this boy in my class is called bullet head due to the shape of his head.
Vanessa yours should be Nessy^^!
My friend's name is Margaret and so is her daughters. She goes by Maggie and her daughter by gretta.
But can you run for President with a nickname???
My full name is Ruby Ann.
Some people call me Ruby, Others call me Ann.
When I was in college my friends call me By-Ann.
But when I started working one of my managers called me Rann.
Hmmmmnnn….RANN is perfect for me!
not all nickname are good names like mine im tennie iin kindeGARDEN I USE TO GO BY THAT NAME NOW I GO BY MARY.
My nicknames are Duncan, Squiz, Britt and Dustin. One of my friends is Jody, Helmet, Stacie and Julian, another friend is Jeff, Oinch, Emma and Micah. My other friend is Michael, Lila and Mitchell and another is Phil, Lucy and Blake. Don't ask how we came up with all those. We just gave them to each other. And, yes, we're all girls. =D
My brother already had a short name, Rex, so for his nickname we had to lengthen it to Rexy. The same with our father Ross, always called Rosscoe. For the rest of us, Karen, Darryl, Donna, we shortened to Kaz Daz Doz. But there's not much you can do with Donna except Don, or Don-Dons (which I've been called), but it's an awful name to begin with and the abbreviations aren't much better…
My name's Maria Danica Anne. My nickname's Dianne.
I prefer to be called Dan rather than Nica. I don't like girl-ish nicknames.
Way back in college, some would call me Dandy or Dandy-cles.
People tried to abbrev. my forename to things like "Corny" or "Cornballs" which obviously sound rather derisive, Now I get called "Lammy" which is fine if not a little too endearing.
My name is Victoria, and my nick name is Vickie… I don't really care about MY nickname, but they are kinda cute. Like my brother's nickname is Tickle, that's because when my Mother was pregnant with him, I used to tickle her stomach just for fun. His original name is Jacob, but he still prefers Tickle, even though he's now 7 years old. In my opinion, nicknames are fun, and as long as you like it, it does not matter if its weird.
How about Liz or Lizzy for Elizabeth, or Geri for Geraldiine. Gerty for Gertrude. Peg for Peggy. Don for Donald. Joe for Joseph. Will, Bill, Billy, or Willie for William. Dick or Rick or Richie for Richard. Horey for Horatio, A-hole for your boss or mother-in-law…
My nickname's the first letter of my first name and the first letter of my middle name. I sometimes spell it with periods after the "J's," and sometimes without the periods, so I don't really keep it with any kind of formality on that front. I've basically had my nickname for just as long as I've had my birth name, I answer to both names subconsciously, I don't know who started calling me JJ, and I still find it funny when I have people spell my nickname as "Jay-Jay" for lack of familiarity.
My name is Lillian, but I go by Lily. I don't understand how "Dick" is a nickname for "Richard".
Wonderful and interesting article. I never knew that Romney's first name is Willard.
Could another nickname for William also be Bill? That's how I've often heard it as.
Nice article. I find it iteresting as I am an English learner, I thought all of them came from one part of the original name.
My mother tongue is Spanish and you should know that nicknames in my language are completely different to the original name. For example, a man called José automatically has PEPE as his nickname. People call me KIKE which is not very related to Enrique. Anyway, we use them and we do not care much about the origins.
nood ler
whats my nickname?
I had a friend named Alicia and we called her Ici (eesee) and she liked it idk about you but just a suggestion
I like Mindy for Melinda, but I want to know how Bob came from Robert and how Bill from William. Anyone know?
Yeah cuz my name is Kathleen but people call me Katie.
my brother calls me leelars or leelee
i don't have one. people, out there, read this comment and give me a nickname. my name is melody
In Bengali culture, everyone has two names — a "bhalo nam" or "proper name" (the one on the birth certificate) and a "dak nam" or "given name" (which only the family uses). They're usually totally different, too! For example, my "proper name" is Nina, but my family calls me Anjali. My aunt is even more complicated — her proper name is Alokananda, to her friends she's Aloka, her dak nam is Ranu, and her nieces and nephews call her Ranumoni (or "dear Ranu").
One of the most common of nicknames is Bob. Spell it either forward or backwards.
best for bestine.
When he was in high school my uncle was called Rosie by his friends, it was short for Rosenberg, his last name.
Now my brother is getting called Creed by his friends, they combined his first and last names.
I go almost exclusively by my nickname so some times people try to call me by nicknames they come up with based on my nickname. Whether they get away with it depends on who they are, and what they called me. I've been called: Becca, Beck, Beck-Beck, Becks, and The Beckster. Becca never goes over well, as for the rest of them, it depends on who you are.
My favorite nicknames are Gracie for Grace, Ali for Allison, Tom for Thomas, and drean for Andrean
My name is Michelle and my entire life, family/friends have called me Meesh
My name's Alicia and my friends call me "Lish-Lish". Another name for me is "Deliah"They say it 'fits' me. Nick-names don't really have to involve the name, they could just describe the person.
A cool name for Jose would be like Josie if u cant spell or do English
One of my friends' surname is Thorpe, so we call him Thorpedo.
y do u think drew for Andrew is unusual? i have known drew's for my whole life… it seems perfectly normal 2 me…
acctually you cant cause they will take your 1ST NAME. yeah it seems odd but its what i read………
My nickname is Rin, but my real name is completely different. My nickname comes from a memory of the past.
I'm liking Cosmo, from Cosmos.
"Nicknames are often just the shortening of a name, but they may sometimes hypocoristics, meaning an endearing pet name, like Debbie for Deborah."
Shouldn't that say ". . . they may sometimes BE hypocoristics"?
Anyway, interesting article. Never really had a nickname myself, though.
my name is mubb, so many nicknames i get are similar to "mubby" or "mub-meister"…
jk (my name's not mubb…)
My younger sister's name is Lorraine and we call her Rain. I really love her nickname.
What? Ellie does not even sound like the origional name! Sometimes nicknames don't make sense. Actually most of the time.
Jamie/Jim for James =D
matt for matthew
My favorite one would be Juanito for Juan
Elllie for Catherine
My father, in his infinite wisdom, named me J, after the letter. My birth certificate reads J Elliott Selvey. I go by J but for ease of life spell it Jay, which gets me into trouble now and then come mortgage time or when dealing with SS. Wonder how you would shorten J for a nickname? I have been called Jaybird, Bluejay, and Birdseed at various times in my life. How do you like the Birdseed appellation?
Mine is Goose- when I was born, my mom said I looked like a goose, because I had jondice [made me yellow] and my nose looked weird. Of course, it helped convince her when she was on pain pills. My nose is normal, just a baby thing . :]
My favorite nicknames are:
Jake for Jack, Mick for Michael, and of course Ed for Edgar.
My name's Alicia (Uh-Lee-See-Ya) and I don't have a nickname nor do I want one unless it's cute. 'Ali' sounds lame and 'Lici' is too kitty-ish. I was thinking that a good nickname for Alicia would be 'Lisa' because they are pronounced similarly and Lisa does sound like a shortened name for Alicia if you listen to the names. But, I don't feel like a Lisa, I like Alicia so no nicknames for me
I do like the name Natasha though, it's weird that Natasha is a nickname for Natalia (Natalie) in Russia but Natasha is longer than Natalia and nicknames are meant to be shortened forms of a given name.
I also prefer 'Ant' over 'Tony' for the name Anthony/Antonio. That's it.
That is really cool!!!! I wonder what mine would be!
Nicknames that are longer than the actual name crack me up.
Actually, i have 2 favorites my big brother called me mikey. But more recently, a friend spelled my name chellie

Commissioners want to dispel coffee shop talk on 'welfare fraud'
WILLMAR -- Whenever there's a news story of a county resident wrongfully obtaining government assistance, the Kandiyohi County Commissioners know they will hear about it from their constituents.
"I hear more complaints about this in the coffee shops than anything else," said Commissioner Richard Larson, who said people don't understand the whole picture and don't understand how effective the county is in preventing welfare fraud.
For every story of someone being convicted, there are 100 more stories of potential fraud that was stopped in the county before it had a chance to happen, said Sue Leal, adult income maintenance supervisor.
Catching those cases involves county employees being able to communicate well with clients and to maneuver through a web of complicated forms and regulations to detect potential fraud.
"We truly try to prevent overpayment and fraud situations," said Barb Kavanagh, supervisor for the county's family income maintenance program, during a report Tuesday to the County Board of Commissioners.
"We're very proud of our financial workers and the commitment they have to the community," said Kavanagh. "It's amazing how much knowledge it takes to administer the program."
It's a fact the commissioners say they are well aware of, but the public -- and even legislators -- aren't aware of.
"We need to toot our horn," Larson said.
Commissioner Harlan Madsen said the county needs to educate, engage and inform people to "clearly put the facts out there" to make it easy for the public to comprehend the complexities of the issue.
When potential fraud is reported, either by financial workers or from anonymous calls from the public, the cases are investigated by the county's fraud prevention officer, Cindy Feeken.
About half of those 200 cases are shown to have no fraud, but through the investigative process the opportunity is taken to remind clients about the importance of accurate reporting and penalties for violations, Feeken said.
Another 40 to 50 percent of the investigated cases are found to have issues that require adjustments in benefits or disqualifications. Those cases were sometimes the result of unintentional program violations, said Feeken.
About 10 cases are prosecuted every year on the criminal level, she said.
Most of the fraud cases that involve large overpayments of thousands of dollars are for health insurance premiums that go to health care companies. It's not cash that goes into individuals' pockets, said Feeken, adding that the county has an active program to collect overpayments.
She said undocumented citizens do not receive assistance. But undocumented adults can request benefits for their U.S.-born children if the parents report lack of income to support them. When it's discovered the parents do have jobs and unreported income, action is taken to stop the benefits.
Feeken said tips from the public are helpful to begin investigations.
As a result of positive results in the fraud prevention program the Minnesota Department of Human Services reported that the county had savings of $79,000 last year, Kavanagh said.
This year, the Legislature is considering a bill that would reduce funding for fraud prevention officers, said Family Services Director Jay Kieft. The county will "suffer the consequences" if that funding is reduced, he said.
Jim Butterfield, who is the newest commissioner on the board, said his "eyes were opened" to what goes on with the county's financial assistance programs and fraud-fighting efforts when he spent a good part of a recent day shadowing financial workers.
Butterfield said reports of welfare fraud in the county are "blown out of proportion" and that the county is actively investigating and preventing fraud cases every day.
"These are things the people of Kandiyohi County are not hearing about," said Butterfield, who asked for a list of facts and figures so that he could respond to people who corner him in the coffee shop.
Kieft encouraged the commissioners to talk to constituents about the county program to help remove misconceptions. "You guys carry weight in what you're talking about," he said.

US climate trouble may boost Tanzania trade
The economy of one of the world's least-developed countries could actually benefit from climate change by increasing exports of corn to the US and other nations.
During an average of 96 percent of the years that the US and China are predicted to have extremely dry conditions, Tanzania will not experience similarly dry weather, say Stanford University researchers.

Couple Charged With Child Endangerment For Keeping Autistic Son In A Cage
Terry and Victoria Smith Charged With Child Endangerment For Keeping Autistic Son In A Cage
Missouri residents Terry and Victoria Smith have been charged with endangering the welfare of a child for allegedly keeping their severely autistic six-year-old son in a cage.
Authorities were alerted to what was going on when someone called in an anonymous tip to the Missouri Child Abuse and Neglect Hotline about two years ago. The boy and his five siblings were taken away from their parents but later returned.
The cage that the boy was kept in was a converted metal crib covered with plywood and held together with zip ties and bungee cords. The Smiths claim that he was put in the cage for his own protection.
When the boy was rescued, he was naked, sitting in his own urine and feces, but had several toys with him and appeared content. It has been reported that conditions in the rest of the house were also filthy, according to The Daily Mail. The boy's siblings told police they would rarely be allowed to play with their brother. They said that the boy was often fed hot dogs and chicken nuggets through the bars of the cage.
"We certainly understand that any parent is going to have stressful times, especially parents with severely developmentally disabled children," St. Charles County Prosecutor Tim Lohmar said. "But our view is that this was a completely inappropriate way to handle this particular situation."
"That is just terrible and so hard to understand," Neighbor Theresa Brightwell said. "Everything seemed normal, but you never know what is going on behind closed doors."
She continued:
"That child deserves a good life," Brightwell said. "I would see him out here sometimes, but we just did not know. They should be in jail for a really long time,"
The parents were charged Friday with one felony count each of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child. Bail was set at $2,500 for each. The Smiths could face seven years in prison if convicted of first-degree child endangerment

I hope they get 7 X 7 years. This is inhuman and unforgivable.

Jamil, Ansar and Syed Ariffin, Sharifah Hafizah and Ali Abdullah, Adel and Fisal, Norsheila and Saleem, Kashif and Syed Yusof, Sharifah Kamilah (2009) Optimal forwarding routing protocol in IPv6 - based wireless sensor networks. In: 9th IEEE Malaysia International Conference on Communications 2009 - Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks (MICC 2009), 2009, Kuala Lumpur.
Full text not available from this repository.
Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) has become very important and are being used widely especially in embedded applications. Normally, these applications require numerous low cost, low power and low data nodes that communicating over multiple hop to cover a large geographical area. Introduction of 6LoWPAN makes it possible for IP address to be assigned on numerous sensor nodes and allow connectivity to Internet. This paper proposes an optimal forwarding routing protocol in 6LoWPAN that gives better performance in term of throughput up to 11% and 43% compared to RIP and greedy forwarding respectively. The forwarding criterion is based on the best optimal forwarding value calculated from link estimation, cost estimation and RSSI characteristics of its neighbors. If transmission failure happened, this routing protocol will provide other candidates of the neighbors node that still have respectable optimal forwarding value as an option.

Attack From Space
Koreyoshi Akasaka, Teruo Ishii, Akira Mitsuwa
Ken Utsui
Alternative titles: Oh Man, This Is Weird; Planet of the Rising Son
Pleasant amounts of cheese and silliness.
Hero Starman looks a lot like a guy who makes doughnuts.
Evil galactic fascists raise arms in Nazi salute and appear to shout: "Hi!" or possibly: "Oy!".
Cheesy shots of Starman flying over Japan are almost cool.
Dubbing appears to have been done by the evil Suferians.
Young children play a vital role in saving humanity (sigh).
A little heavy on the narration.
SYNOPSIS: In response to the threat of intergalactic nuclear war, the High Council on the planet Emerald breaks into a spontaneous modern dance performance. Following this, it is decided that Starman will be sent to Earth to resist the attack by the evil Suferians, perhaps by showing off his tightly-clad buttocks. He will also carry with him the useful globe-meter, which allows the wearer to do handy things like fly through space and understand primitive natives like you and me. Once the High Council has made this decision, they go back to practicing their synchronized swimming moves. (Sadly, this would not become an Olympic event until many years later.)
Starman, whose perpetually dull expression suggests that he can't decide between the jelly doughnut or the double-chocolate glazed, makes his way toward our grateful planet, creating havoc for the Suferians as he goes. Meanwhile, Dr Yamanaka, a brilliant Japanese scientist working on a secret peaceful rocket project, begins experiencing unexpected problems. His none-too-bright children Kioro and Riuichi, in the tradition of none-too-bright children everywhere, compound these problems by getting themselves captured by evil space fascists who promise to rain destruction on our beleaguered planet. It's around this time that the well-fed Starman waddles onto the scene. He offers his help, in exchange for a couple of doughnuts, which the authorities quickly decide is a bargain too good to pass up.
Starman reaches the Suferian starship that's threatening Earth, and he really shows his douhgnut-power then, knocking over hordes of wildly inept space fascists while shouting epithets as "Hai!" and "Hee-ya!" and "Ugh!" Then it's off to sabotage the ship itself, which he does by bending a screen. Result: BOOM! (That must've been an important screen.) Alas, a space hero's work is never done. No sooner is one spaceship destroyed than another one launches—and that's not even mentioning the Suferian Supreme Headquarters, floating out there in the void like a killer hubcap. Starman makes for it, chasing Dr Yamanaka's hijacked spaceship, and around this time, things stop making any sense at all, although we do get to see more modern dance choreography. Then again, "sense" is a relative term, along with everything else in the galaxy. Didn't Einstein prove that? Which is, pretty much, Einstein's only connection to what's going on here.
Best line of dialogue: "Ship will cross the fiery Death Star very soon now." (Wait a minute—Death Star? What movie is this, anyway?)
What gets destroyed: A spaceship full of malignant space fascists; a Himalayan mountain; New York; London; Tokyo; a whole pile of space fascists; yet more space fascists; the last remaining dregs of space fascists (though there are probably more).
What gets saved: Earth! Humanity! Civilization! The universe! Doughnuts!
Party game: Play "Dubbing." Choose partners. One partner stands behind the other and gives an impassioned speech. The other partner stands in front and moves his/her mouth, arms, etc in illustration. The partner in front is not allowed to look at the one in back.
Did you know? This movie, although released in the US in 1964, was derived from two episodes of the 1950s Japanese TV show Super Giant. Although I've generally avoided TV-derived work in this column (for example Rocky Jones, Space Ranger), this offering, along with its counterpart Evil Brain from Outer Space, was just too much fun to pass up.
Explain this one: Starman survives the flames of the Death Star because of his "steel body." But listen, if you had a steel body, wouldn't you want it to look a little more like, y'know—steel?
Somehow their careers survived: Ken Utsui (Starman) played the role in the other three films released theatrically: Invaders From Space, Atomic Rulers, and Evil Brain from Outer Space (all made in the '50s, released in the US in 1964). Utsui also starred in heaps of other Japanese entertainment right up through 2005. Co-director Teruo Ishii's works include such promisingly-titled product as Inferno of Torture aka Hell's Torturers (1969), Screwed (1998), Hell (1999), and Blind Beast Versus the Dwarf (2001). Definitely sounds like someone to check out.
BOTTOM LINE: Not exactly "hard SF," but entertainingly deranged nevertheless.

Lately I've been finding it hard to come up with anything interesting to cook up for dinner during the week. I tend to stick with the tried and true favourites and rarely do I experiment with new ingredients, spices or flavours. A great way to learn some new skills in the kitchen and satisfy all the hungry stomachs at your dinner table is to take part in a local cooking class. Awhile ago I attended a class with my colleagues, and I think it just may be time to book myself another one!
The 'Tour Through Vietnam' with Chef Thaung Yan was a great experience; one that provided me the opportunity to take the new skills I had learnt from Chef Yan and use them at home to treat my fiance and friends to some delicious pho and other Vietnamese dishes. Even if I do only get around to making Vietnamese food once in a blue moon, it has the ability to refresh my attitude towards cooking and excites me into purchasing different ingredients at the grocery store, which results in many more satisfied sighs after dinner.
Taking the class in itself is also a lot of fun, especially if you get a group of friends or family together. You could even make it a date night with your significant other. This evening's class started out with introductions and background from the chef, a lovely glass of vino, and some tasty starters. The real treat – besides learning a new recipe – is getting to eat it as well! The 'tasting' portion of the evening is by far the best and we all agreed that Chef Yan makes some delectable pho. The following courses included lemongrass grilled pork on steamed rice, Vietnamese style beef stew with tomato and potato and a delicious take on a vegetable stir-fry. Dessert was also served!
Not only do you learn some great new skills and new recipes, but you are also treated to a meal out! Spots in Langley to book a class include: Well Seasoned – A Gourmet Food Store, Ban Chok Dee Thai Restaurant, Tasty Raw Chef, and on occasion, Seasonal 56 & JD Farms

Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin apparently believes in keeping his players informed.
On a whiteboard in the team's locker room, Corbin posts the up-to-date Western Conference standings so the Jazz can see exactly where they sit.
Heading into Saturday night's game against Cleveland at EnergySolutions Arena, Utah was seventh in the West.
"You have to know where you are," Corbin said. "... The more aware of where you are as a team, the more you have an understanding of how important every game is."
There is a psychological aspect of posting the standings, too.
"Sometimes you may lose by a [big] number and think it's the end of the world," Corbin said. "But it's one loss.
"You might also win a couple in a row and think you're on the top of the world and think you have some space. But everybody's still right next to you."

The band, which previously released material on Paradigms and Tee Pee Records, recently completed work on a new full-length album, "Sweet Dreams", for an October 12 release. The CD was recorded at Translator Audio in Brooklyn with engineer Brendan Tobin (MADE OUT OF BABIES, RED SPAROWES).Commented TITAN's Josh Anzano: "'Sweet Dreams' has been the culmination of major urges welling up inside all of us to be a bit faster, a bit harder, a bit trippier and generally more aggro in our approach to writing, jamming out, and conceptualizing the songs and record as a whole. It's a lot tighter, but it's also a lot looser. "We recorded with Brendan Tobin at his killer Translator Audio studio in Brooklyn and we're pretty fucking stoked on the final results, and we hope that you are too!" TITAN has confirmed an August 22 New York show at Santos Party House, where they will perform alongside SAVIOURS, PRIESTESS and HAMSOKEN.

Barca plan action over Neymar leaks
New Barcelona president Josep Maria Bartomeu says the club are considering taking legal action against whoever first leaked the details of Neymar's transfer and contract into the public domain.
• Ledwith: Focus back on pitch
• Corrigan: Rosell's downfall
• Martino wants focus on football
The deal that brought the Brazilian attacker to the Camp Nou last summer is now the subject of a court investigation in Madrid into possible "diversion" of money, with Sandro Rosell resigning as Barca chief in the wake of the complaint.
Rosell and other Barca figures had long maintained that Neymar had cost just 57 million euros, while a confidentiality agreement with Neymar Sr. precluded them from revealing any further details.
In recent weeks, though, El Mundo and other media outlets in Madrid and Barcelona attained both court documents and details of the player's contract, leading Bartomeu and director Raul Sanllehi to announce that a total of 86.2 million euros had been paid to the player's father and his former club Santos in a variety of different ways.
Bartomeu told Mundo Deportivo that he had instructed Barca's lawyers to see if they should take a case against those responsible for publicising previously private details.
"About the leaks to the press of Neymar's contract, we already have certain evidence that it did not come from here but from Madrid," he said. "I have told our lawyers to follow the subject, and if there is anything, to lodge a complaint. We will get to the bottom of it, whether it is a person, a group, a legal practice or a media publication that has published false figures."
El Mundo said on Tuesday that its sources inside the court said the Spanish tax authorities could view the extras that went to the agency run by Neymar Sr. as salary, and demand the appropriate income tax, which -- the report claims -- could cost Barca a total of 63 million euros.
The newspaper reports that the total owed could rise further should previous third-party investors DIS and Teisa win cases against Barca and Santos in a Brazilian court.
Meanwhile, Jordi Cases, the Barcelona socio whose petition sparked the court investigation, says he will not now withdraw the initial complaint despite having planned to do so.
Bartomeu is said to have told Cases during a phone call that if he stepped away now the club would not pursue him for any damages in future, but board spokesperson Toni Freixa apparently withdrew that offer later on for reasons that remain unclear.
Cases told a news conference on Monday that he had wanted written assurances from the club before he instructed his lawyer to tell the Madrid court he was taking back his initial charge.
"My intention was to withdraw the complaint," Cases said in quotes reported by AS. "I have a very cordial, friendly relationship with the gentleman running Barcelona. For the good of the club, to lower the tension, they said it would be necessary for me to withdraw the complaint. But without anything in writing, I cannot do that."
Asked if he thought his complaint had forced the resignation of Rosell -- who, Sport reports, plans to move to London with his family in search of new professional challenges -- Cases said he felt there was still more information about the whole case to come out.
"There must be something more," Cases said. "You do not resign just for this."

As the Hennessy Gold Cup meeting drew to a close, all eyes turned to Cheltenham and the outcome of the Leopardstown meeting may have raised some doubts and sealed some fates for one of the most significant racing festivals of the season.
The only way to muddle through all of the possibilities and have a chance to come away with a few more Euro than you started with is to quiz the experts. To make this easier, Donaghmore Ashbourne GAA club have gathered them all in one place for Friday, 1st March at 8.00pm, poised and ready to answer your questions.
Now that Flemenstar is unlikely to feature at Cheltenham, reportedly suffering from a lung infection after having succumbed to Sir Des Champs in the feature race on Saturday, the one man who can throw some light on the subject is special guest, trainer Peter Casey. Peter will be joined on this year's panel by Flemenstar's jockey, Andrew Lynch, who is also regular partner to top chaser Sizing Europe.
Following the success of last year's edition, with the unforgettable guest appearance of Barney Curley, a full house is expected once again this year as punters fill the seats in the impressive clubhouse.
An all-star panel has been assembled for the night with trainers Jim Dreaper and Robbie Hennessy joining Peter Casey, while jockeys Andrew Lynch, Bryan Cooper and Keith Donoghue revealing some secrets from the saddle.
Rubi Light is another star to watch and having finished third and fifth in the last two Ryanair Chases he is going for third time lucky this year. Trainer Robbie Hennessy is reportedly pleased his condition and is hoping that racing will go ahead for the Red Mills Chase at Gowran, where he hopes to cross the line first for the third consecutive year. Having worked Rubi Light at the Curragh with jockey Andrew Lynch, Hennessy is confident of his decision to withdraw from the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham and concentrate on the Ryanair Chase.
RTE's racing correspondent Tony O Hehir will MC the evening, making sure that no one sidesteps any tough questions. Mike Vince from SIS and The Star sports editor Brian Flanagan will draw on their encyclopaedic knowledge to remind us of past victories and disappointments and to point out a few trends that may prove valuable indicators for the coming festival.
Once again, Bambury Bookmakers are sponsoring the evening and the €20 ticket price includes a €10 bet from Bamburys. There will be exclusive offers on the night and with enough pressure Bamburys can be pushed to make an offer in front of a full house, so make sure you don't miss out.
A feast of racing stories, Cheltenham tips, finger food, a €10 bet, raffles and a chance to talk about all things horses, all for €20. Sure where else would you be?
For further information and tickets contact Donaghmore Ashbourne GAA on 01 8499140 or call in to the club house.

It appears the push by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to suppress voter turnout through thinly veiled measures like voter ID laws and a confusing provisional ballot policy will continue through to Election Day. ACSblog has devoted extensive coverage to Husted's efforts to keep Ohio voters from the polls. The long and short of it is that since this election cycle got in to full swing, Husted (pictured) has striven to ensure that voting will be "fair and genuine" (read: as difficult as possible) for hard-working Ohioans.
It started back in August when Ohio Republicans reduced the early voting period from thirty-five days to eleven, even cutting back on the Sunday before the election – the time when African-American churches have traditionally encouraged parishioners to exercise join in the democratic process. In response, voting rights activists had to gather enough signatures to force an Election Day referendum on the issue. The state's Republicans then changed course and stopped all early voting in the three days before Election Day, with an exception for members of the military. The Obama campaign challenged that measure in court, and on Oct. 11, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit ruled that the early voting restrictions violated the equal protection clause and restored full early voting for Ohioans.
But, that setback didn't stop Husted. He cut back early voting in Democratic-leaning cities by limiting early voting hours on weekdays, making it nearly impossible for those with day-jobs from voting either before or after work. Meanwhile, in heavily Republican areas, Republican election officials approved measures to expand early voting hours on nights and weekends. This sparked another public outcry, and instead of expanding ballot access for all, Husted issued a statewide mandate directing all counties to limit early voting times. Republican election officials minced no words when explaining why they wanted to limit voter turnout. In the words of Franklin County (Columbus) GOP Chair Doug Preisse, "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the voting process to accommodate the urban [e.g., minority] voter-turnout machine."
Now, with the election less than a day away, Husted is at it again. This time it's in the form of a controversial new order regarding how provisional ballots are counted. Ohio voters have to vote provisionally whenever there is a wide array of problems, ranging from not having registration forms processed in time to people not voting in the right precinct. According to Ohio law, these ballots are not counted until they have been verified, which takes at least ten days. Husted's new order spells out the requirements for submitting a provisional ballot, which includes a form that places the burden on the voter to record the form of identification that was shown to election officials. If the form, which has four tiny checkboxes, is not filled out correctly, then the ballot is not to be counted.
A lawsuit has already been filed by the Obama campaign, and early indications are that the order will not stand – mainly due to the fact that it violates Ohio election law, which requires the "appropriate local election official" to record what kind of identification a voter is using. Nevertheless, this last minute order is sure to create confusion among local election officials that will lead to the inadvertent discarding of provisional ballots that would otherwise be counted.
It's about time that state election officials actually worked to ensure that the voting process is more open to all. For more detail on why "voter integrity" regulations are constitutionally dubious, see Loyola law school Professor Justin Levitt's ACS Issue Brief, The New Wave of Election Regulation: Burden without Benefit.

Reese Witherspoon rocked a bold look yesterday when she headed out for lunch at LA restaurant Hal's. She paired a baggy sweatshirt with leggings and a perfect-for-Fall pair of knee-high, high-heeled boots. Reese has been out and about a great deal over the last few days. She spent her weekend with family, and was spotted Saturday cheering on her son Deacon at his soccer game. On Friday, though, Reese treated herself to a night out on the town. Reese partied with Cameron Diaz, one of her good friends, to celebrate the opening of Rag & Bone's LA flagship. It seems Reese is back to maintaining a busy schedule after taking a breather following the Sept. 27 birth of her youngest child, Tennessee Toth.

|Brief Summary
The sequential administration of endocrine therapies to patients with advanced breast cancer requires the availability of therapies with different modes of actions, so that tumours developing resistance to one agent are not cross resistant to another. Because of its mechanism of action, fulvestrant is distinct from other hormonal therapies, which therefore limits the possibility of cross-resistance with other therapies such as tamoxifen and the aromatase inhibitors (AIs)
Fulvestrant has been granted reimbursement by the Belgian Health authorities (RIZIV/INAMI) with the recommendation to collect the real life data necessary to assess the patients' breast cancer treatment history that may influence the actual endocrine treatment sequence according to physicians current clinical practice..

UPDATE: WellPoint Q2 Profit Beats Street View
WellPoint (NYSE: WLP) reported better-than-expected second-quarter profit.
The Indianapolis, Indiana-based company posted a quarterly net income of $731 million, or $2.56 per share, compared to $800 million, or $2.64 per share, in the year-ago period. Excluding gains, the company earned $2.44 per share, versus analysts' estimates of $2.24 per share.
Its total revenue gained to $18.47 billion from $17.70 billion, while operating revenue surged 4.2% to $18.23 billion from $17.5 billion. However, analysts were expecting earnings of $2.24 per share on revenue of $18.24 billion.
Operating gain in the Commercial & Specialty Business segment dropped 3% to $919.6 million while operating gain in the Government Business segment surged 11.4% to $313.5 million. It posted an operating loss of $10.2 million in the other segment versus a year-ago operating loss of $6.1 million.
Its sales, general and administrative expenses increased to 15.8% of operating revenue, versus 13.9%.
Medical enrollment surged by 328,000 members sequentially in the quarter.
"Second quarter adjusted earnings per share of $2.44 reflected strong contributions from both of our business segments and we are pleased with 2014 results year to date," said Wayne DeVeydt, executive vice president and chief financial officer.
WellPoint now expects full-year adjusted net income to be greater than $8.60 per share on operating revenue to be greater than $73.5 billion. It also projects medical membership of 37,050,000 to 37,150,000.
For 2014, WellPoint projects medical costs to increase 6.5%, plus or minus 50 basis points.

The real national security scandal
Do we have a national security scandal? Yes, and it is bigger than Benghazigate, bigger than Petraeus/Allengate. The really big scandal is that for some weird reason, we do not have the will to win the wars we get into!

The left won years ago when they took over the school system. We have nothing but wimps who never confronted a bully. Talking it over with a uncaring teacher who has no backup from a principal will turn out people who are too afraid to confront. Healthy fear is good; lack of courage is not.
