I had chin liposuction one month ago. I still have a hard, sore lump and the skin is saggy. I wore my chin strap constantly at first and now that I'm back at work I wear it in the evening. The incision is quite noticable as well. My PS told me to massage the area. I am not happy with results! Is this normal after one month?
Are my Results Normal?

Chin Liposuction - It takes several months to see final result
Chin (Submental) Liposuction: What to expect
There are many predictable portions of the healing process that ALL PATIENTS EXPERIENCE after liposuction. Temporary areas of firmness (lumps) can be seen early on but usually resolve on their own. Although both doctor and patients would like to not have this happen, it is part of the healing process. These Side effects refer to what you will be experiencing from the healing process: Here are some of the common things you will experience. The common side effects include: swelling which is maximum 2-3 days later, bruising (highly variable), numbness which takes several months to resolve, tightness takes several days to months to resolve, discomfort (generally mild with this surgery, nausea (variable) and in some patients emotional lability in some. Although most of the visible edema resolves in 2-3 weeks in mini-lifts and 3-4 weeks in traditional facelift approaches, residual firmness (edema you feel but don't see) can linger for several months. Skin suppleness also takes a while to return as does scar maturation. I tell my patients it takes up to a year for final resolution of the healing process. A chin strap often hastens recovery after neck/submental chin liposuction. In my experience, the above rough time table is usually delayed in smokers, when multiple procedures are performed together and when resurfacing procedures are done at the same time as the lift. The same is true if complications occur such as infection, hematoma, skin loss or compromise, etc
One Month after Chin Liposuction
If the hard lump is not a fluid collection, then this may get better with time as swelling goes down and scar softens. Massage can be helpful as well. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Recovery after chin liposuction
At 4 weeks post chin liposuction, it's common to have firm, sore lump, visible scar, and some saggy skin. The lumpiness will improve with time, but massage therapy will greatly aid the speed of recovery. I have used both ultrasound assisted massage therapy and laser assisted massage therapy to help the patients recover faster. The visible scar will also fade with time but may depend on your skin pigmentation. Make sure you discuss with your plastic surgeon about the options to improve your scar appearance. Finally, the saggy skin improvement may dependent on the quality of skin and how much excessive skin that you have prior to the procedure. If the skin quality is poor then the skin retraction after liposuction may be minimal and you may need a neck lift to improve the contour. Typically, I would wait about 3 to 6 months after the procedure to determine the final result.

Chin lump after surgery
This may just be swelling and can take some time to resolve. It is hard to assess you without seeing photos. Also, I prefer to perform this area using smartlipo, which can also tighten the skin. I am not sure if you had traditional liposuction or did you have smartlipo or laser assisted liposuction? Good luck with your recovery.
Dr. Vasisht- South Shore Plastic Surgery
Hard, sore lump after chin liposuction
It is not uncommon to have a firm area of swelling under the chin after liposuction of that area that can last 4 - 6 weeks as a result of the swelling from the trauma of the procedure. However, these lumps are not usually sore. Also, there is usually not a noticeable incision after liposuction of the chin. I would see your plastic surgeon in follow-up to be sure you are healing appropriately.

The unfortunate thing about giving a trip away to Tahiti (enter here, if you haven't already; enter again, if you have) is that only two fortunate souls get to make the trip. But you don't have to be in Tahiti to feel like you're in Tahiti. All you need to do is source yourself some of the country's beverages of choice.
The one that immediately comes to mind is Tahitian Treat fruit punch (available online on Amazon, of all places). The drink, formerly a property of Canada Dry, is now part of the ominous-sounding Dr. Pepper Snapple Group of products, and, having only heard the name but never sampled the drink myself, I assume it tastes a lot like Hawaiian Punch (which Dr. Pepper Snapple also owns).
If mass-manufactured sugar water isn't up your alley, then there is also a mix drink known as the Tahitian Treat which includes the following:
- 1 oz. lemon-flavoured rum
- 1 oz. Amaretto
- 4 oz. cranberry juice
- Fill with Sprite and add ice cubes.
There's also a Royal Tahiti Cocktail, which includes:
- 1.5 oz. of white rum
- 3.5 oz. of banana juice
- 3 scoops of coconut ice cream
- dash of strawberry syrup
- lime juice
- ice
It's important to remember that mixing Tahitian cocktails is not an exact science. You can make these cocktails sans alcohol and in a variety of measurements of the above ingredients and likely turn out a delicious fruity-flavoured drink. Though the alcohol might help you imagine your way to Tahiti.
If you do find yourself in the French Polynesia, the national beer of Tahiti is Hinano. The beer won a gold medal at the Luxembourg International Beer Awards in 1993, and had a song dedicated to it by Tamarii Punaruu (hear it below).
Having never tasted it myself, I still feel like I can safely assume it tastes nothing like Hawaiian Punch. —Jon Roe

Teaching Philosophy
I have an underlying belief that education is a foundation element for a good life. Through education, individuals learn about the world (of nature, human beings and human creations, and ideas) and develop skills in thinking critically and in expressing their thoughts.
I believe that instructors, like students, are learners. For example, in this course, all of us will work to understand the assigned readings. These are not simple materials, and I learn new things every time I re-read these. In addition, as an instructor I see myself learning, over time, how to deliver the best possible course. To do so, I vary methods and material from quarter to quarter. I welcome feedback from students as to the effectiveness of these.
My experience is that people who are successful in organizations are effective at problem solving, communication, and working with others. I try to structure my classes so that the subject material (readings, cases, etc.) helps students develop and refine these skills. My classes are designed to encourage everyone's engagement, participation, and contribution. This stands in contrast to "one-way" delivery of information inherent in teaching methods such as lectures. Note that the first line of our university's mission statement is "UWB holds the student-faculty relationship to be paramount."
I recognize the importance that most students place on grades. I take grading very seriously and consider it to be one of the most difficult aspects of being an instructor. Essentially, a student's grade should be a reflection of her/his achievement (learning) as indicated by written and verbal expression. Nevertheless, I see my responsibility as being your guide with regard to learning and development of learning skills, rather than helping you get a good grade. I do not "teach to the test." (I will discuss this in class.)
The University of Washington, Bothell, is an exciting place to be, and it is in all of our best interests for it to be the best possible place to be from. To achieve this, we have to expect a lot of each other, including that our work is not easy. I sincerely hope that we will be able to look back from the future and say that we accomplished something special at UWB in the Spring of 2002.
I believe that the following are simple and fair guidelines based on the assumption of professional conduct on the part of each student. You are responsible for being aware of these policies throughout the quarter. These will be in force regardless of conflicting policies in other classes you have taken at UWB or elsewhere.
Individual assignments. You may not consult with any one other than the instructor in preparing individual assignments. Unless instructed otherwise, you may use the UWB Writing Center or the UWB Quantitative Skills Center in preparing individual assignments.
Examinations. You may not consult with any one other than the instructor in preparing examinations.
Group assignments. The purpose of group assignments is for you to gain experience in producing high quality work where the responsibility rests with a team rather than individual participants. This reflects the reality of an increasing number of work places. However, I often am disappointed to see group work that is of lower quality than what the individuals in the group appear capable of. This is the opposite of the intention of working as a team! Be assured that there is no lowering of standards for group assignments.
Another issue that frequently arises is conflict among group members over expectations, relative effort, reliability, etc. If this happens to you, please note: I am always willing to speak with individuals about group problems, but I will not "intervene" except in those occasions in which you have discussed the problem with the entire group and have been unsuccessful in reaching a satisfactory outcome.
Submission of written assignments and take-home examinations. The deadline for written assignments and take-home examinations is the beginning of class on the due date. E-mail or fax submissions are not acceptable unless the instructor has required this or has agreed to a specific request. Late assignments and examinations will receive no credit.
Attendance. You will not be graded on attendance, but please note: [1] you will be graded on participation; [2] if you are absent for an in-class writing assignment, you will get no credit; and [3] you are responsible for being aware of assignments and schedule changes, and you are responsible for understanding the material presented, even if you are absent.
Substitute assignments and examinations. These may be possible provided that you have written documentation of a reason that you were not able to submit the assignment on time. The substitute assignments and examinations may be oral, at the instructor's discretion.
Plagiarism. The purpose of assigning specific readings on plagiarism is to eliminate uncertainty regarding acceptable and unacceptable practices. If you have any doubt, please see me. Because you have been assigned this material, you will not be excused if you profess that you "did not know" that a given practice was unacceptable. At a minimum, incidents of plagiarism will be punished by a grade of zero (on my 10- or 100-point scale) in the relevant project.
Classroom conduct. In general, I expect that students treat the classroom as a special place because of the opportunity to share ideas and experiences.
1. Disagreement about ideas is healthy and is an essential part of the learning process. I am discouraged when students quickly converge on simple "answers." I hope that you will join me in exploring competing ideas in the exciting subject matter of this course. However, personal attacks and/or lack of respect for others and/or their ideas are unacceptable and will not be tolerated.
2. In order to maintain individual and group focus on the material at hand, please do not connect to the network during class discussion or lectures.
3. Please, no audible pagers, beepers, or cell phones.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. – A local shelter beyond its capacity is getting creative with its adoption process to help nearly 200 animals find homes.
The Berkshire Humane Society is more than 50 animals over its capacity, including dogs as well as cats, and they're asking the public for help.
"This isn't a shelter problem, we don't have a shelter problem here, this is a community problem where there are more animals that adoptive homes at the moment," said John Perreault, executive director of the group.
With more than 170 animals in need of a permanent home, the shelter has implemented a "choose your own adoption fee" policy.
"Get some adoptions flowing so we can create some space, because there's more animals and people out in the community that are in need," he said.
Locals can adopt a dog for their own price if it's been at the humane society for over 30 days, or a cat if it's been there for over 90.
"We have many kitties over the age of seven, that have many long years to give, that would make somebody a great companion," he said.
And although you may not be able to adopt a pet, donations are always welcome. Alex Glover loves animals, but has too many of her own to take in anymore. That's why her law firm donated money to help offset the funds the shelter will be losing by dropping its prices.
"The shelter relies a significant amount on adoption fees for their operating budget," she said.
To adopt, you must fill out an application. Click HERE and download the correct application online. The Berkshire Humane Society is located at 214 Barker Road in Pittsfield, Mass.
BHS Adoption Hours:
Monday: Closed
Tuesday thru Saturday: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Thursday Evening: 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Sunday Afternoon: 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM

WASHINGTON — For Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the eventual journey home to Idaho began with a brief, dramatic helicopter ride from the rugged landscape of eastern Afghanistan to Bagram Air Base, north of Kabul. His return to anything close to a normal life will take much longer.
After nearly five years in captivity — the lone American prisoner of war in Afghanistan, held by Taliban fighters in utter isolation and deprivation — Bergdahl is physically weakened, military officials said, and will need to undergo a thorough psychological examination.
His recovery, they said, will be a multistep process, beginning with medical treatment and initial counseling at a U.S. military hospital in Landstuhl, Germany, then by longer-term therapy at a military medical center in San Antonio before culminating in a carefully managed homecoming in Hailey, Idaho.
Even then, Bergdahl, 28, will probably need lengthy counseling to help him deal with the trauma of his years as a prisoner of war and to adjust to his new life, according to experts in long-term captivity. How fast or fully he recovers, they said, is impossible to predict.
"Bowe's been gone so long that it's going to be so difficult to come back," his father, Robert Bergdahl, said at a news conference in Idaho. He likened it to a deep-sea diver decompressing before returning to the surface. "If he comes up too fast," he said, "it could kill him."
For now, Robert Bergdahl can speak to his son only indirectly and from a distance, as he did via television cameras at the news conference. Bowe Bergdahl is cloistered at the Landstuhl hospital, on a hilltop in southwestern Germany — away from television, the Internet and other outside intrusions. Even reuniting with his family will wait until his doctors decide he is ready. Interviews with experts on captivity suggest Bergdahl could face as much trouble adjusting to the rhythms of ordinary life as getting over what he experienced in Afghanistan.
"I tell people it's like a funnel," said Roy Hallums, a former contractor who was imprisoned for 311 days in 2004 in a tiny room under a house in Baghdad. "You're at the small end of the funnel for so long, and then suddenly the world opens up. It takes time to get used to it."
On Saturday, speaking to Bergdahl's parents at the White House, President Barack Obama told them that he'd "been to Landstuhl and seen firsthand that the facilities and personnel were first-rate and Bowe would get the best possible care," a senior administration official said.
The military has established protocols for treating soldiers freed from captivity, many of which date to the Vietnam War, when prisoners of war returned to the United States in significant numbers. Among the issues soldiers in lengthy confinement deal with are fear, guilt, humiliation, isolation, threats and, not least, boredom.
It is not yet clear whether Bergdahl was tortured by his captors. But given the ruthless reputation of those who held him, experts said it was likely, at a minimum, that he faced unremitting fear.
"The Haqqani network that held him are battle-hardened terrorists, one of the most ruthless in the Taliban network," said Dan O'Shea, a retired Navy SEAL commander who coordinated the hostage working group in the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad from 2004 to 2006. "He had to wake up every morning with the thought 'Is today the day I am going to meet my fate?'"
O'Shea said the insecurity for Bergdahl was even deeper than for Vietnam POWs because in that war, North Vietnam was a sovereign state. Bergdahl was at a mercy of a militant gang. O'Shea said it was likely the soldier sought ways to bond with his captors and their culture to survive.
Among the questions military officials are likely to have for Bergdahl when he is ready to talk are the circumstances of his capture on June 30, 2009, when he was separated from his unit in Paktika province. Many in the military say he chose to wander off his base.
But a senior Defense Department official indicated that the Army most likely would not be punishing the sergeant for any violations of rules. "Whatever he may have done, I think he's more than paid for it," the official said. "Five years is a long time."
When Bergdahl leaves Germany, a move that is expected this week, his next stop will be Brooke Army Medical Center at Fort Sam Houston in San Antonio. There, he is likely to reunite with his family — initially by phone and later in person — and to receive further counseling from a psychologist who specializes in survival, escape, resistance and evasion issues. Robert Bergdahl described the specialists helping his son as a "handpicked team."
Col. Hans Bush, the Brooke center's public affairs officer, said he expected the treatment to take "weeks, not days."

All ISS readers, I am a Hyderabad fan of ISS and am reading stories here for
past 2 years, if you guys like my story please comment on it and aunts are
welcome ready mail me at [email protected]
am 25 male from decent family – Hyderabad. I'm only an average looking guy with
exercised body. Still now I have only one real experience which I am sharing
with you guys. I stay in Masab Tank. I Love Aunts a lot married, widowed,
divorced and mature BBW and I love them a lot! Now the story:
guys and girls, most importantly aunties we can move on to the story now. I am staying
at masab tank actually I'm a bachelor and am sharing a house with 3 members. My
house owner stays at ground floor and we are at first floor. My house owner
(widow) name Asma. She must be in her early 40's (40-45) she has huge boobs
38 D which I like very much.
is very friendly only with me and she won't speak with my other roommates. She
has a daughter who is studying 2 now. I used to exercise daily at top of my
floor. Sometimes she will come there to wash cloths or for some other reasons.
Normally I will cover myself when she is there. One day she enquired about me
and my family very casually, I also responded her.
then onwards she used to speak with me very freely. She will smile at me
whenever we saw each other.
Very rarely does she ask me some help like going to shop or
getting something while am returning from my office. She is attracted to me
only because of my behavior, she love my cooking skill, if i cooked non-veg or
any other special items I used to gave her a small parcel.
told that am cooking better than her. She called me for lunch for many times,
but because of shyness I avoided it. Last Sunday i cooked chicken and went down to
give her a small parcel. When I knocked her door, she opened it after 5 mins,
she looked very sleepy, and her pallu didn't cover her boobs. I can clearly see
her nipples since she didn't used bra. I got a sudden temper;
took much effort to hide my bulge inside my pant. She called me inside with
sleepy smile and told me it's a sweet surprise that I was there in her house
after a long time.
I just stared at her popping boobs, and gave her the parcel. But
she denied getting it from me, because I never accepted her invitation to have
lunch with her. Finally I assured that I will have lunch with her by next
Sunday (today)
she is really happy to hear it from me and then she accepted my parcel. She
immediately opened it before me and tasted it and said it's really super. She
called her daughter and teased her to learn cooking from me. I
just spent 5 more minutes there with my hard tool; I badly needed to masturbate
so I decided to leave. She called me and reminds me that I should have my lunch
with her on next Sunday, for which I re-assured her.
today morning she came to my room to remind me that I should have lunch with
her today I tried to avoid it, but she strictly said that I should have my
lunch with her today.
With no other option I accepted. Then she gave 200 bugs and asked
me to buy chicken and fish from nearby market. I refused to get money from her
but she forcefully caught my hand gave it to me.
went to market and returned in half an hour, straightly I went to her house to
give it to her.Then she asked me to stay there to help her in cooking, because
I can give her cooking tips and also her daughter went to her friend's home for
group study. While cutting onion she was sitting in the floor with pallu right
in mid of 2 boobs. I was really getting a hard on by seeing her boobs.
saw that I was staring at her boobs, but didn't say anything or tried to cover
her boobs. She inquired about my family, my job and finally about my love
affairs. I said still now I don't have any girl friends. She was really
surprised and didn't believe me. She said that I must have at least 2 girl
friends. I denied it, and then she asked me what kind of girls that I would
was really surprised by her open question and remind silent. Then she came near
me and said that I know what kind of girl's you will like. I asked her to tell,
and then she frankly said that you will like aunties with big boobs like me, that
am why you are staring at me. I was very much embraced by her frankness and
stood there speechless. Then she took my hands and placed it on her boobs and
told me to you can do anything with this
hands shivered in pleasure her boobs are so soft and her nipples are poking out
from her blouse. Then my lust driven me I squeezed her boobs much harder and
kissed her in on her eyes, she told me that she can't able to stand anymore and
guided me to her bedroom. I followed her like a baby holding her pallu in my
hands. She lay on bed and asked me to remove her cloths.
I removed her saree and squeezed her boobs with her blouse on and she was
moaning and told me to remove her blouse and have her nipple in my mouth. I was
waiting for her to say this, then immediately I removed her blouse and suckled
her nipple she moaned much harder now and pushed my head hard against her
boobs, while sucking one nipple I was repeated squeezing her other boob and her
Then she got up to remove my cloths while she
unbuttoned my shirt I removed her skirt as expected she doesn't wear any panty.
Now we both are naked and making love to each other. I was kissing her
forehead, eyes, ears and neck like a hungry dog. She seemed to be much excited
than me and continuously moaning mmmmm shhhh haaaaa. Then she got hold of my 6
inches dick and started to suck it.
sucked it like a whore. I never had this experience before and I cum in her
mouth within five minutes she drank my sperm fully and I can see the lust in
her eyes then she spread her legs and guided my head towards her cunt, I teased
her cunt with my fingers, I pinched her clitoris and played with it she begged
me to suck her cunt then I placed tongue on her hairy pussy, licked her
clitoris and tongue fucked her now
was shouting vigorously and moaning then she rolled over me and came on top of
me she placed my dick in her cunt and started to ride me. It wasn't that much
harder to enter cunt it went very easily and I enjoyed her ride on me she was
thrusting her cunt with my dick we both functioned with lot more passion and
kissing each other it took 15 mins to cum inside her and even after I cum in
her my dick remained hard for 5 mins still then she ride me at last
reached orgasm and her cunt tightened my dick for 5 times. Then she collapsed
on me and kissed me everywhere in my face and thanked me for satisfying her
after a long time and then we had another session, this time I got on top of
her we changed position for 5 times this time I took 25-30 to cum in her. We
both enjoyed more and finally we took bath together and when we both came out
from the bathroom so guys how's the story? Please reply me. Thanks
What did you think of this story??

Following Scott Evans' recent arrest for trying to purchase cocaine for an undercover police officer, it seemed like the former One Life To Live star would try and fight the charges, but apparently, he's decided to go in a different direction. Evans, probably best known as the brother of actor Chris Evans, and his attorney recently negotiated a deal with prosecutors to drop the charges in exchange for regularly attending Narcotics Anonymous meetings.
According to TMZ, Evans must go to sixty meetings within the next six months. If he accomplishes that and manages to not get arrested, the buying cocaine from an undercover cop situation will simply vanish. Considering there are Narcotics Anonymous meetings practically every night in major cities, knocking his quota off shouldn't be very difficult. In fact, he's reportedly attended a few already.
Going to Narcotics Anonymous meetings might not guarantee someone stays off drugs, but the regularity of such activities can serve as a good accountability system. Hopefully, Evans will use it as such and not simply go through the motions in order to keep himself out of jail.
There's no way to know whether Evans had a serious cocaine addiction or got busted just randomly trying to do cocaine, but since snorting anything isn't really a great life call, this punishment is far from the worst thing in the world. Here's to hoping he takes the lesson to heart and moves forward in a positive direction.

Navarro, Upton leave game hurt
C Dioner Navarro had to be taken off the field on a stretcher after being hit in the throat by a pitched ball in the sixth inning of Friday's game and was taken to a hospital. Earlier, CF B.J. Upton the game with what the Rays said was a strain of the left quadriceps.
Navarro appeared to be in considerable distress after Brian Stokes' pitch bounced and struck him in the throat. He was attended to by team trainers and then stadium emergency personnel and it looked like he was given oxygen as he was put on a cart and driven off the field. There was immediate word on his condition or what exactly was wrong.
Upton pulled up running out a ground ball in the first inning and writhed on the ground in severe pain for several minutes. He had to be helped off the field by first-base coach George Hendrick and trainer Ron Porterfield.
Team spokesman Jason Latimer said Upton would be re-evaluated on Saturday and his status was "day-to-day.''
Upton has been one of the Rays top performers, hitting .322 with nine homers and 31 RBIs. He was replaced in centerfield by Elijah Dukes.

Some Democratic Governors Also Shaky on Medicaid Expansion
All the Dem operatives and commentators ensuring that every state will "eventually" (an indeterminate length) opt into the Medicaid expansion makes the case that they will see what a good deal it is for the states and simply have to comply. Greg Sargent looks at some numbers from the Urban Institute showing that states would spend $90 billion less on health care from 2014-2019 under the Affordable Care Act. This is because of the savings from uncompensated care and certain Medcaid eligibles rolling into programs with higher levels of federal support. In some states, they will actually save money from carrying out the full law, including opting into the expansion.
* Wisconsin could save as much as $3.7 billion from 2014-2019
* Iowa could save as much as $1.9 billion from 2014-2019
* South Carolina could save as much as $678 million from 2014-2019
* Indiana could save as much as $1.7 billion from 2014 to 2019
* Nevada could save as much as $443 million from 2014-2019
These numbers are based on the total law, and don't isolate the Medicaid expansion. We're waiting on those numbers. But they also don't take into account what we learned this morning, that states could reduce their Medicaid eligibility rolls and cost-shift to beneficiaries after 2014 without consequences. This is a much easier way for them to save money to their bottom lines. It exacerbates the uncompensated care problem, but hospitals will bear more of that cost.
This is a bipartisan problem, by the way. In addition to the fourteen or more Republican governors leaning toward opposition or explicitly opposed, Steve Kornacki points out that seven Democratic governors are undecided on the Medicaid expansion, and one of them, Missouri's Jay Nixon, has said that he's leaning against it.
Take Missouri's Jay Nixon, the one who's leaning against. Nixon is a first governor of a red state, one that John McCain managed to (barely) carry against the national Democratic tide of 2008. Presumably, Obama will fare worse in the Show Me State this fall, and Nixon will be seeking reelection on the Democratic ticket with him. So Nixon really has no incentive to embrace the expansion now. In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling, the politics of healthcare are raw, especially in a more conservative state like Missouri. Republicans are looking for ways to tie Nixon to the president and his signature law, so why make it easy for them – especially since Medicaid expansion isn't slated to begin for a few years? It's a hunch, but chances are a reelected Gov. Nixon would be more enthusiastic about participating than candidate Nixon appears to be.
Most of the undecided Democratic governors also hail from red states. One of them, West Virginia's Earl Ray Tomblin, will also face the voters this fall and is one of the Democrats to announce recently that he won't attend his party's national convention this summer. The same calculation behind that move – Don't get too close to Obama! – is probably a factor here too. Kentucky's Steve Beshear, whose state voted for McCain by 16 points in 2008, won't be up for reelection until 2015 but also has an obvious incentive to keep distance from the president. So does Colorado's John Hickenlooper, who governors a more Democratic-friendly state, but one that could plausibly flip to the GOP when he seeks reelection in 2014.
In at least Missouri's case, the state legislature is Republican, and their leaders have vowed to opt out. Legislatures have a say in this as well, as they would need to vote for expansion affirmatively in most cases.
Maybe that does reflect pure election-year politics on the part of these Democratic governors. But there's always an election around the corner. And it hits at the central point, that covering poor people with health insurance isn't currently as popular as it should be. The moral case for coverage has not been made. That brings it into a discussion of costs. And Democrats are on shaky ground in that discussion, regardless of the facts.

Hazardous waste characteristics: Arizona Revised Statutes (AZ Rev. Stat.) 49-921 and Arizona Administrative Code Rules (AZ Admin. Code R) 18-8-261
Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) Waste Programs Division
See ADDRESSES & CONTACTS for addresses and telephone numbers.
See national section for basic information and federal regulations.
• Rules. Arizona has adopted the federal regulations that define a waste that exhibits the characteristics of ignitability, corrosiveness, reactivity, or toxicity as a hazardous waste, with some minor modifications. Arizona has added several state regulations, primarily to modify specific sections of 40 CFR 261 in order to add references to Arizona hazardous waste citations or references to ADEQ. However, unlike the federal rules, those claiming the exclusion from hazardous waste found at 40 CFR 261.4(b)(6)(i) for wastes that fail the test for the toxicity characteristic because chromium is present must provide documentation to ADEQ that the exclusion's requirements have been met (AZ Admin. Code R 18-8-261(C)(i)). See the national section CHARACTERISTIC WASTE for more information.
• Administration and enforcement. Arizona's hazardous waste program, including the requirements for identifying characteristic wastes, are administered and enforced by ADEQ.

[20 May 2013]
Universal Music continues its release of the entire Muddy Waters library as recorded by legendary blues label Chess Records with Volume 3 of its archival series. You Shook Me is a two-disc set that chronicles the years 1958 to 1963, a critical period in the evolution of Muddy's sound, one reflected in the recording industry as a whole: the shift away from the single to the album as the basic unit of musical recording.
The first tracks on disc one are engaging enough, but they reflect the stripped-down basics of the Chicago blues as it was played in the late '50s: Muddy's voice is front and center, hollering and growling through 12-bar progressions to the accompaniment of a bass, drums, and perhaps a few accents from harmonica, piano or some subtle electric guitar. There are few solos and little if any showing off. "Blues Before Sunrise" epitomizes this approach, but many of these early tunes follow the template: "Mean Mistreater", "Crawling King Snake", "Take the Bitter with the Sweet" and any number of others.
40-odd songs later, by the end of disc two, Muddy's sound has expanded to the point where the instrumental contributions were, arguably, as important as the vocals, and more attention was being paid to how to record and mix them. The guitar in "You Shook Me" adds a second voice to echo the singer's, and the honking sax and tinkling piano (courtesy of longtime bandmate Otis Spann) is arguably as important to the song's success as Muddy's baritone growl. This is followed by the bad-assery of "You Need Love", a song written by Willie Dixon and ripped off by Led Zeppelin, who released it as "Whole Lotta Love" on Led Zeppelin II. Dixon subsequently sued the band, and won an out-of-court settlement.
What happened between these early, stripped-down recordings and these more elaborate sessions later on was the release of two landmark albums. Muddy Waters Sings "Big Bill" was a collection of tunes by the fine songwriter "Big Bill" Broonzy, whose work suited Muddy's voice and musicianship like a glove and provided a further measure of success to the singer, who already had a fairly successful career going at that time. Perhaps more important was the live album Muddy Waters at Newport 1960, a document of his performance at the Newport Jazz Fetival, then one of the most prestigious music festivals in the country. This national stage provided Muddy with a degree of exposure he'd never had before, and the album that resulted from it was a landmark. It couldn't be anything else, given that the setlist includes "I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man", "Baby Please Don't Go", and a sizzling two-part "Got My Mojo Working".
Both of these albums are included in full in this collection, so enthusiasts who don't have them would do well to pick this up. The sound quality is extraordinary, full and rich with crystal-clear high end and full, rich bass—and virtually no tape hiss or popping, which is remarkable for material of this age. With 49 tracks in total, this is a generous package; a nicely illustrated booklet provides some context and recording information. This is crucial document for listeners interested in the history and development of the blues, or anyone who wants to hear one of the great vocalists of the 20th century as he entered his prime.

The late Geoff Lawson did a fine job styling the XK8 and in many ways the butch XKR coupe looks even better. It is a very feline shape, continuing the great Jaguar tradition of grace. I always feel that it looks as if it's moving even when stationary. Somehow it looks quintessentially British, especially in darker hues.
To most petrolheads the combined letters "XKR" demands instant desire and respect, even if the person has never driven one. It is that sort of a car; high on people's lottery win purchase list. But is it really any good and worthy of its £58,113 list price?
That is a lot of money to spend on a new car and there are some pretty capable machines for around this figure. The main competitor on many levels has to be the evergreen Porsche 911 Carrera 2, which happens to retail some £1,483 cheaper! That's the insurance, tax and some months' petrol paid for.
Other suitable protagonists might include Honda's NSX (£60,013), Mercedes-Benz's CLK 55AMG (£58,865) and the Maserati 4200 coupe at a cool £61,000. This final car seems so close to XKR in character that I am amazed in a way, that it's not priced much closer to the Jaguar's list figure.
Wrong Noise
Well cutting to the chase, I firstly find the car very disappointing when you start using the performance. Why you may ask? The supercharger whine is simply appalling. It has no SOUL whatsoever and does not move me as such a car should. One of the prerequisites of such a sporting GT is that when you start really driving, the engine sings to you. It's all part of the mystique that you buy into. It doesn't have to be intruding, but mellifluous yes. The whine is even there under light throttle. Perhaps I was back driving a leather appointed Morris Marina. Or was I on a Japanese playstation. Next demerit is the wind noise at speed, added to which great tyre roar joins in for good measure on poor surfaces. However, the ride is beautiful, even over poor British blacktop. The "CATS" adaptive suspension really lives up to one of Jaguar's main hallmarks.
Now at this point I'll list my gripes before addressing its strengths.
So…..there's much evidence everywhere of Ford parentage, including under the bonnet:- plastification, urgh. The slab sided, (dated) black bird's eye maple dashboard reminds me of a pimp's 80's Lincoln town car and it also resembles plastic.
The alloy dial surrounds looks like a "Max Power" teenager got at the interior, along with sprinkling a plethora of red and green "R" badges around. Not discreet looking enough.
The switches have a rather cheap feeling unbecoming of a Jaguar and the very nasty doorsill finisher is also way below par.
There is no retractable leather grab handle to steady a passenger's nerves. The car seems to mist up easily if two people try and breathe simultaneously. No folding mirror facility...
Main door hinge flexes nicely. Cracking on the cards some years down the line?
"ACC" radar distance cruise control very harsh in extremis. Software needs further tweaking or new pads could be required every 3,000 miles.
Car way too heavy at 1,735 kg, which goes some way to explaining heavy fuel consumption. Roll on the all aluminium replacement.
XKR's handling compromised at speed, owing to high centre of gravity. Needs to be at least 10mm (maybe 20mm) lower. A well known piece of tight, off camber dual carriageway 'S' bend, really caught out the car, exposing the ride height issue.
No electrical boot locking a la Mercedes-Benz.
The shut lines and paint finish are not up to £58,113 standards.
No standard fit park sensors. Why not!? The car is huge and really takes confidence to reverse.
Sexy 20 inch wheels would look even better brake dust or (Jaguar tradition) matt
body coloured.
But it's got its strengths...
Well that's the character assassination over, now for the praise.
For regular motorway pounding (supercharger notwithstanding) the 4.2 litre, 400
bhp XKR is quite soothing, with a pleasant 6 speed box and plenty of warp factor acceleration when required. Seems they sit at 170 mph quite happily.
The brakes are very good at last, hauling you down repeatedly without fade.
The steering suits the demeanour of the 'motor' and is complemented by easy operating cruise control which adds to the calmness that's part of the XKR's raison d'etre.
The auto door locking is very comforting, as are the Recaro seats over long periods.
I kept thinking how similar the car is to its XJS predecessor but much more capable.
Its natural environment would be German autobahns, for it loves trotting along at around 130 mph with effortless reserves. Just as you would expect me to say really.
The $64,000 dollar question that I asked at the outset was, is it the best car to spend almost £60,000 English pounds on. Sorry, the answer's no, non, niet.
I so wish to like this car because it is a doddle to drive and looks very lithe and alluring, but it is too flawed at this moment in time. There is simply not enough Jaguar specialness and magic and that frisson needs to be in Jaguars once more. It is in there trying to get out, but the car is way too Fordidised that any Jaguar has a right to be. Ford deserve praise for buying the company and bringing their great experience and money to the table. But they must now retreat back upmarket with Jaguar. If you drive any reasonable spec Ford and you go and look at the XKR you should see what I mean. Remember this is a flagship model in their portfolio and it is not respecting core values. Also at this sort of price buyers can be very discerning and not everyone is a premiership footballer thinking he would like a new toy this month.
You know I am going to say that the Porsche is the sensible choice if you are looking to live with such a car for a few years. It could so easily be the XKR.

2004 Model
This week, Jaguar have introduced the 2004 model XK series. On the outside it gets a new style mesh grille and deeper front and rear bumper and side sills give a more powerful look and improve aerodynamics. All XK8 models now have a rear spoiler as standard, while the XKR has a new, larger rear spoiler
Spec improvements include bigger wheels (up to 20"), an optional reversing sensor, different veneers and a cup holder! The new options are available in two trim packs: 'Premium' and 'Technology'. Precise spec depends on where in the world the car is being sold.

THT Dartboard: June 8, 2008
Welcome to The Hardball Times Dartboard, our weekly attempt to rank all the teams in baseball. The Dartboard Factor is how many wins a team would be expected to have at the end of the season if it played a neutral schedule. Next to that, you'll find the Dartboard Factor from the previous week. An explanation of our method can be found here.
#1 Chicago Cubs (Dartboard Factor = 101, 102): The Cubs came one short of making it ten straight wins this week.
#2 Tampa Bay Rays (Dartboard Factor = 97, 98): Tampa continues to battle it out for tops in the AL East but equally worth noting is that the Rays do hold a solid lead amongst the Wild Card standings and many of the teams behind them are not expected to last the summer.
#3 Boston Red Sox (Dartboard Factor = 97, 96): The Red Sox turned the challenge of David Ortiz going down with an injury into an opportunity to move Manny Ramirez to DH and add Coco Crisp into the starting lineup and allowing them to run out an outfield consisting of three good defensive outfielders.
#4 Philadelphia Phillies (Dartboard Factor = 93, 90): At this point it looks like a two-team race in the NL East between Philadelphia and Atlanta.
#5 Chicago White Sox (Dartboard Factor = 93, 91): The White Sox have been a legitimate surprise this year and now with both Detroit and Cleveland losing a key starting pitcher for the season, they look the odds on favorite to take the Central. In fact the Dartboard puts them at an incredible 18 games ahead of second place.
#6 Oakland Athletics (Dartboard Factor = 92, 90): Are the Athletics for real? While their offense is lacking, they've managed to build a front line run prevention side with great defense and solid pitching. Some rebuilding process, showing once again how Billy Beane continues to stay ahead of the curve.
#7 Atlanta Braves (Dartboard Factor = 91, 92): Chipper Jones continues to roll, pushing the average up to .420, but even though he goes 1-3 with a walk and homerun on Saturday, his average drops. It's just one small example of why maintaining a .400 average is so difficult.
#8 St Louis Cardinals (Dartboard Factor = 89, 89): Not expected at all to compete, holding a below average offense, a pitching staff built mostly off of unknowns and a great defense teaming with solid pitching leading to much better than expected overall performance. Welcome to the National League Athletics.
#9 Toronto Blue Jays (Dartboard Factor = 88, 90): The Blue Jays' offensive woes appear to be mostly tied to performance in clutch situations so far this year as OPS-wise they are very similar to the White Sox who have paired their great pitching with league average hitting while the Blue Jays continue to struggle scoring runs.
#10 Arizona Diamondbacks (Dartboard Factor = 88, 91): Drawn down in the Dartboard because so far in 2008 the Diamondbacks have faced the easiest schedule of all teams.
#11 Los Angeles Angels (Dartboard Factor = 85, 82): Half of all balls put in play by Angel hitters are on the ground, It's not much of a wonder then why they slug just .383 as a team.
#12 Milwaukee Brewers (Dartboard Factor = 85, 81): A six game win streak helps push the Brewers above .500, but a 12-6 record in one-run games does not bode well for continued success.
#13 Florida Marlins (Dartboard Factor = 83, 87): A remarkable 30% of Marlin games result in a decision of five or more runs, games in which the Marlins are 7-11. The Marlins never had the talent needed to hold atop the East, and it's only a matter of time before the Braves pass them by as well.
#14 New York Yankees (Dartboard Factor = 82, 83): There's no doubting their bats, but the pitching is going to continue to be a problem as Joba Chamberlain doesn't act as a savior in his first start.
#15 Texas Rangers (Dartboard Factor = 81, 83): The Rangers are outscoring all other American League teams by over half a run per game, but they are also yielding nearly a run more than any other AL team fueled by the AL's worst strikeout rate and lowest defensive efficiency ratio.
#16 Baltimore Orioles (Dartboard Factor = 79, 77): Right now the Orioles are possessing an average defense and a mediocre offense but have managed to survive thanks to a pitching staff that has generated 25 more fieldable balls in play than average.
#17 Los Angeles Dodgers (Dartboard Factor = 79, 81): Matt Kemp has had a quality week with an OPS just shy of 1.000 as he appears to have settled into the center field role in Los Angeles.
#18 New York Mets (Dartboard Factor = 79, 83): A dismal 13-20 record away from Shea Stadium is not helped by three consecutive 2-1 losses to the Padres.
#19 Houston Astros (Dartboard Factor = 78, 77): How quickly have the Astros soured on J.R. Towles? He's hit his entire career until this year, is just 24 and under team control for the next half-decade and the Astros take a college catcher in the first round of the draft?
#20 Cincinnati Reds (Dartboard Factor = 78, 77): Grabbing Yonder Alonso with the seventh overall pick has people starting to wonder the future of him and Joey Votto. Are the going to try and move Votto to left field assuming both Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr. are gone after this season?
#21 Pittsburgh Pirates (Dartboard Factor = 76, 76): The turnaround is going to be slow in Pittsburgh and one can only hope that Neal Huntington and company are given adequate time to do it properly. Ownership may begin feeling the attendance crunch as so far this year they have averaged just over 16,000 fans a game.
#22 Cleveland Indians (Dartboard Factor = 75, 76): The loss of Jake Westbrook for the rest of the season and the start of 2009 is not going to help the Indians but they do maintain the American League's most patient lineup, requiring just under four pitches per plate appearance.
#23 Minnesota Twins (Dartboard Factor = 73, 72): The Minnesota Twins just seem to breed pitchers in the Brad Radke/Carlos Silva nature. In a rotation that aside from free agent pickup Livan Hernandez has the eldest member being just 26, the Twins are the best team in the AL at giving out free passes. Though they are worst in allowing homeruns and second to worst in striking batters out. There is a downside to throwing all those strikes.
#24 San Francisco Giants (Dartboard Factor = 72, 68): The Giants do not balk at all at Buster Posey's $12 million bonus demand. He's sure not to get that much, but this was just one more instance in a draft full of them of teams ignoring both slot recommendations and what player's were saying they wanted.
#25 Detroit Tigers (Dartboard Factor = 71, 75): Already struggling enough with their pitching now they lose Jeremy Bonderman for the season with blood clots.
#26 San Diego Padres (Dartboard Factor = 70, 67): When you cannot score runs the solution is thus simply to not allow any. With a walk-off homerun in the tenth, the Padres became the first team in MLB history to record four consecutive 2-1 victories.
#27 Kansas City Royals (Dartboard Factor = 65, 64): Brian Bannister may be a fantastic student of the game, but there is a ceiling on how far brains alone can take you once you reach the Major League level. Brian might want to try spending a little less time studying the stats and a little more time working on his stuff.
#28 Colorado Rockies (Dartboard Factor = 65, 64): The Rockies nabbed potentially the steal of the draft on Thursday getting Christian Friedrich 25th overall. Given his makeup and advanced nature, he may be helping out in Colorado sooner than most other first round selections.
#29 Seattle Mariners (Dartboard Factor = 61, 60): Their .307 team OBP is the worst in the majors behind even the Nationals below them. That's team on base percentage. Given that, it's clear why the Mariners drafted a college closer in this week's draft.
#30 Washington Nationals (Dartboard Factor = 61, 64): After his disastrous first season with Washington and completely missed second season and mostly missed third season, Cristian Guzman has finally shown up in his (gasp) contract year posting a good line for a NL shortstop.
Divisional Picture
The playoff picture takes the above ranking and reforms the teams back into their leagues and divisions including the wild card. This is in no ways a prediction, this is an assessment of how teams have played so far this season, not how each team is going to play.
Rays – 97
Red Sox – 97
Blue Jays – 88
Yankees – 82
Orioles – 79
White Sox – 93
Indians – 75
Twins – 73

|Certainly one of the more classic Pinnacles routes, but "best single pitch of 5.8 in California" might be a bit of a stretch!

|It felt like 5.9 when I first led it. The second time I moved a few feet farther left from the leaning crack at the crux and it was much easier, like 5.8. Look for the better holds out there on the wall. The last bolt might be out of reach if you're shorter than 4'6".

|For some reason this felt like a 5.8/5.9 route with one 11a move. I surely must have missed something when under that roof.

|Classic! Great climbing with good opportunities for pro before the first bolt (nuts, small/medium cams). Fixed pin just below the crux, can be backed up with an orange Metolius cam. A couple of thin and improbable moves left take you out of the cave/roof (crux) to some thoroughly enjoyable jamming (mostly hands, but fists and fingers in places) and face climbing above. Fantastic route.

Mother : Wait a mimute! You should bring an umbrella. It's been raining. Since I thought it should be "take" instead of "bring" I'm posing this question. Could anyone let me know what the answer is? Thanks in advance.

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y. (Oct. 28)
The United States Government pledged $23,000,000 to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency engaged in providing relief for Arab refugees. The sum constitutes the American contribution for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1959. An announcement to this effect was made yesterday by Senator Bourke B. Hickenlooper, member of the American delegation, at the Ad Hoc Committee of the UN General Assembly.
As in the past, he said, the United States would make payments against this pledge to an extent not exceeding 70 percent of total contributions to UNRWA, In line with this policy, the United States had already deposited for UNRWA's use the sum of $11,500,800, representing half of its pledge. The United States, he went on, was also prepared to pledge, in addition to the above sums, the amount of $3,750,000 for any resettlement or repatriation activities of UNRWA initiated during the United States fiscal year ending June 30, 1959. This additional contribution would be made to the extent that it did not exceed 70 percent of the total contributions for these specific activities.
In making this offer, Senator. Hickenlooper stressed, the U.S. Government realized "that little significant progress has been made in taking refugees off the relief rolls and in setting them up in conditions of self-support." He urged that all concerned, "particularly Israel and the Arab states, bend every effort to provide for some more satisfactory means of dealing with the refugee problem than the mere continuation of the present system."
(The New York Times, in an editorial today, pointing out that the Arab countries are "resisting" the integration of the Palestine refugees, wrote: "It is agreed that the problem of the refugees is one of the thorniest in the whole area of the troubled Middle East. Israel has urged that its solution be made a part of a whole general settlement in the interest of peace. This is sound, as far as it goes, but in the meantime Irritating problems must be solved. The more that can be done in the United Nations to put those problems into the broadest possible context, the better." Other New York newspapers commented in a similar vein.)

I found this pattern on the internet and thought it was a good was to us up some scraps. As you can see it turned out to be a bigger thing that I intended. Hope some more quilters to the same thing.
This is the article they wrote about me:
Woman donates quilts to NICU
By Cindy Morgan
CARBONDALE - Staff in the obstetrics department of Memorial Hospital of Carbondale got a delivery of a different sort this past week - when Janet Sprague dropped by with an armload of baby quilts.
Sprague, of Carterville, an avid quilter, is always looking for ways to make use of left over material. "I found a site on the internet that had a pattern for making baby quilts," said Sprague, "so I decided to make some and see if the hospital could use them."
She carefully stitched the pastel colors of pink, blue, yellow and green into soft, 20x20 inch quilts, a perfect fit for baby cribs in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit).
"Jennifer Gilpin, NICU manager, was all smiles as she accepted the quilts on behalf of the unit. "These are perfect," said Gilpin.
It took Sprague three or four days to make the quilts. "One side is cotton and the other is flannel," she said. She signed and dated each quilt before she brought them to the hospital.
Gilpin said it is often hard for parents who have babies in the NICU. "This gives the nursery a more 'at home' feeling," she said.
Cindy Frenkel, director of obstetrics at the hospital said they are always happy to receive such gifts, "Sometimes we see mothers come in and they don't even have a blanket to take the baby home in," said Frenkel. "We truly appreciate the donation."
Blanket and quilt donations are also used in the pediatrics ward.
Sprague was a little modest in making her donation. "I didn't expect all the publicity," she said. "But - it might give other quilters ideas for what to do with their quilt scraps."
Retired from American Magnetics, where she worked as plant manager, Sprague likes to spend much of her free time quilting. "I hope more quilters and people who sew make some for the hospital. I have some Christmas pieces and I think I will try to make a few for the holidays," she said.
CAPTION: NICU manager Jennifer Gilpin smiles as she accepts quilts from Janet Sprague.
Good job Janet. I think it's great you did this. Thanks for sharing the quilts and the news article.
Your gifts to the NICU are so cute. Thanks for the inspiration.
These are truly gifts to the community from the heart. God bless you!
Kudos Janet!
Janet - awesome - I am glad that they wrote such a nice article about you - you definetely deserve it. Thank you for sharing it with us!
God bless,
Janet - awesome -
I am glad that they wrote such a nice article about you -
you definetely deserve it.
Beautiful Janet : ) Your gift will be a blessing to the babies and their families.
Not sure how I missed this, two of my grandbabies are NICU graduates.
Your quilts are so cute and I know, first hand, how much they are appreciated. Thank you so much for your gift of love!
A beautiful idea! Such a good way to use all the scraps we have. Sweet Grandma from Michigan
very sweet of you ... nice that your gift was appreciated
I had twin boys in the NICU at Yale ( New Haven, CT ) some 35 years ago - it would have been so appreciated. Now that I am retired, I hope to donate some myself to warm up such a scarey place.
These baby quilts were very nice and such a wonderful thing to do and I hope to do some quilts and be able to donate them for the same thing as I have lots of scraps to work with . thanks again for the idea to use my scraps.
What a wonderful idea. Now I know what to do with the scraps I have.
I am a gramma of twin girls that were born at St Mary's Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. They were in the NICU for 5 weeks and are now 18 mo. old and are wonderful. The quilts and blankets donated were greatly appreciated by all in the unit. That is a wonderful gesture of love to make and donate. I am in the proccess of of making some and will donate them.
Thanks for all the kind words. We quilters have to stick together. God made quilters for more than one purpose and one of them is to help the community.
Great idea! Such a good way to use all the sraps for a good cause. God bless you.
Wonderful idea. Can you tell us where the pattern came from. I would like to do this for our hospital here as we are in a small community, and I'm sure they would be very much appreciated.
Great idea, I make quilts for cancer, and also alzheimers patents in nursing homes. Quilters are
needed everywhere!! Keep on quilting!! God Bless you All
On the internet I just typed in free preemie quilt patterns and chose the ones that worked with the scrapes that I had. Now I have more scrapes, because people are giving me material.
What a wonderful thing you have started here Janet! My twelve year old granddaughter spent some time in a NICU. Thank God for people like you and all the other giving, sharing quilters. I'm going to find a pattern like you did and organize my scraps so that I can make some for that NICU my granddaughter was in. God Bless you!
Great idea Janet. I have done some baby quilts for donating, and now I have another pattern like yours to use fabric that I buy when on sale with babykins look. Thanks again and keep up inspiring all quilters.
What a great idea! I look forward to going through my scraps (which could stand thinning out - I can't throw anything away!) I know your quilts are very much appreciated!

Spidey Sports Battle Damage in Latest 'The Amazing Spider-Man' Movie Stills
Your superhero movie attention span may feel like it's been taxed to the max by both the Friday opening of The Avengers movie and yesterday's release of the final trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, but Sony would be remiss not to remind you that July also sees the release of Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man, right? Apparently so, because the studio has released two more promo images from the film with Peter Parker looking a little worse for the wear.
As if these two new images — showing once again that, with great powers comes great costume upkeep and likelihood of running into trouble with the law — weren't enough to whet your appetite for the Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone-starring movie, then perhaps the Thursday release of an all-new (and, presumably, final) trailer for the movie might convince you that this will be more watchable than watching what happens when Tobey Maguires gets infected by a jazz-loving monster suit from space.*
[*Editors note: I confess that I love Spidey 3 for exactly that scenario! — Caleb]
The Amazing Spider-Man is released on July 3.

John Lofton vs. Larry Hogan: Who's Bad?!?!
3 comments:
When a candidate tells you what he thinks is the purpose of government he tells you all you need to know as to what he will or will not vote for, whether he believes in Godly or Constitutional government or not.ReplyDelete
John Lofton, Director
The God and Government Project
Here's more details about me. The Downey shows were gags; my Wikipedia entry was written by enemies of mine.
For more than 40 years John Lofton has covered national politics and cultural/religious issues as a journalist, nationally-syndicated columnist, TV-radio commentator/analyst and political advisor.
----Editor, "Monday," the weekly, national publication of the Republican National Committee, 1970-73
.--- Nationally-syndicated columnist for "United Features" Syndicate in more than 100 papers nationwide, 1973-80.
--- Editor, "Battleline," monthly newsletter of The American Conservative Union, 1977-80.
--- Editor, "Conservative Digest" magazine, 1980-82.
--- Columnist, "The Washington Times" newspaper, 1982-89.
--- Program-host/commentator, "America's Voice," a national cable TV network in all 50 states, 1998-99.
--- A commentator on the "Mutual Radio Network;"
--- An advisor to the Presidential campaign of Pat Buchanan;
--- Author of a monthly column on the Federal bureaucracy for Howard Phillips' "Conservative Caucus."
--- Editor, Archive.TheAmericanView.com
--- Communications Director, Institute On The Constitution.
--- Wrote column 11 years, for theological mentor, Dr. RJ Rushdoony.
--- Has written articles for the NRA magazine "America's First Freedom"; Gun Owners Of America, Human Events, World Net Daily, National Review. --- Blogger, "Christian Post" website.
John Lofton has given numerous speeches before various groups, Liberal and Conservative, including Liberty University/Bob Jones University. He has appeared on every major TV/radio talk show (including the Comedy Channel's "Daily Show"/"Politically Incorrect") to debate every imaginable kind of anti-Christian goofball --- and some who are unimaginable but who do, alas, exist. And he never went to college which is why he is so smart. He can be reached at: Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
*Note, lest I be misunderstood: Being a Republican is not a disease; it is a choice – a very bad choice, but a choice nonetheless.
- Jim Pelura15 February, 2014 03:03
Richard, I think you missed it on this one. Many of the problems in Washington and Annapolis are because too many of our elected officials have NOT been asked this question. This question goes to the heart of where our state and country are headed. Most of us already know how our elected officials would answer this question. We know this from their actions and votes in their respective office, however, making them articulate their position would be eye-opening for a lot of people.ReplyDeleteReplies
Dr. Pelura:Delete
We both know that you can't divorce a question from the credibility of the person asking it.
I've been around MDGOP politics for a long time, as have you, and I don't remember this crackpot Lofton even weighing in on any issue involving MDGOP politics before. Do we need someone like this to drive our debate?
Was the question valid? Yes, but the questioner has no credibility, for reasons I amply demonstrated in my blog. The firestorm this seems to have caused, at least among certain equally irrelevant cranks, is exactly what the Dems want to see.
Should Hogan have given Lofton interview time? No. It was bad staff work.
The important thing here is, Hogan and all other candidates for governor will have time to answer this question - probably more than once - moving forward. And when the new question comes, it will come from someone vested in Maryland politics.

EY Global IPO Trends
2014 opens strongly
The global IPO market is off to a very good start in 2014. This has been the best performing first quarter since 2011 in terms of both number of IPOs and capital raised.
With the MSCI World Equities Index reaching an all-time high in March and volatility, as measured by the VIX index, trending downwards, investors' confidence and appetite for IPOs is off the scale. As a consequence, average deal sizes are 24% higher than the same time last year and six deals raising more than US$1b.
Regional performance varies
In developed markets where economic fundamentals are improving rapidly, the US S&P 500 reached an all-time high in March, the UK FTSE was at its highest level in 14 years and the German DAX and France CAC indices are at their highest level since March 2009. Against this backdrop, IPO performance was strong both in the US and in EMEIA.
Although economic fundamentals are less compelling in Asia, where the unwinding of US tapering is causing repatriation of investments and the slowdown in Chinese manufacturing held Asian equity indices back, IPO performance was nevertheless strong. With 110 IPOs raising US$18.1b in 2014 Q1, Asia-Pacific accounted for 47% by global deal number and 41% of global deal value. Seven of the quarter's 20 largest IPOs were on Asian exchanges.
IPO activity was relatively slower in 2014 Q1 for Central and South America region, but this is expected to increase in the second half of 2014.
PE and VC are prime drivers of activity
Globally, PE and VC are prime drivers of IPO activity, accounting for 33% of global deal numbers; this compares to 73% of US IPOs and 26% of EMEIA IPOs. PE and VC have seized the opportunity presented by the wide-open IPO window to clear out ageing investments from their portfolios, realize gains for investors and lock in profits for reinvestment. However, Asia saw only 12% of PE- or VC-backed IPOs.
Globally, PE and VC exits via IPO span across all sectors, with more activity from the health care, technology, retail, consumer products and financials industries.
Three sectors are trending
Three sectors that led globally by capital raised in 2014 Q1 were energy, technology and real estate. Although technology may not always be the leading sector in any geography, it is often the new or innovative technology which is the driving force behind the popularity and success of the leading sectors.
As boundaries blur between technology and industries, companies may move away from traditional sector categorization in an effort to maximize valuation as they come to market.
Pipeline is looking strong
Looking ahead toward prospects for the first half of 2014, we are optimistic that the growth in IPOs will be sustained. The pipeline is extremely healthy with more than 1,000 companies registered around the world and a particularly strong run anticipated in China, the US and EMEIA.
We hope that you find this report useful and would be happy to provide further insight on request.
Maria Pinelli, Global Vice Chair, Growth Markets, EY
