A few hours after the parent of a former Maine West High School student spoke about her son being hazed and bullied in 2008, and the response from school and district officials, at a press conference at her attorney's Chicago office on Nov. 28, Maine Township High School District 207 released a statement regarding investigations into the allegations.
In part, D-207 stated:
"Maine Township High School District 207 is aware of correspondence from 2008 between the mother of a student and Maine West High School administrators concerning a hazing incident that occurred that spring. As previously stated, that incident, involving members of West's freshman baseball team, came to the attention of Superintendent Dr. Kenneth Wallace on November 16, 2012, at which time it was reported to the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services. District 207 is reviewing the 2008 incident and has made it part of our larger investigation of incidents involving the 2012 West soccer team."

In Pennsylvania, there's an industrial revolution going on. Battalions of drilling rigs are boring into the earth to extract natural gas from an underground layer of shale called the Marcellus formation.
And as the wells multiply all along the western end of the state, people worry they may be facing another toxic legacy.
The first one came from coal mining. All over the state, you can see bright orange rivers and streams. The aquatic life was killed by acidic runoff from abandoned mines.

[UPDATED] [VIDEO] Who Is Joseph Kony? PLEASE SHARE! It Is Important!
(For everyone who read up on KONY, please be aware that the Invisible Children Organization has their own skeletons in the closet. Not only do they work with Sudan People's Liberation Army (who has a similar reputation as the LRA), they also exaggerate the statistics and refuse to let the BBB look into their operation. While I love that they raised awareness, I don't know if their organization is what we should support, but rather the people of Africa as well as humanity. Research and awareness takes time and effort while following the majority takes nothing. Be aware and continue on fighting!)
When I first sat down to watch this amazing film, I had no idea what I was getting myself in for and very little knowledge on what it would actually be about. I must admit that a range of emotions have since overwhelmed me and I can't help but to feel ashamed, saddened, angry, bitter, hopeless, hopeful, but more than anything, I am happy to feel compassion for humanity.
Joseph Kony is a despicable
man coward, that preys on those who can't fight him, controls their will, desires, AND freedom, all to gain nothing but power and superiority over the masses. What bothered me even more that Kony himself was the carelessness and inhumane way that OUR government, the Unites States of America, reacted when they first heard the pleas of this filmmaker (who is truly, much more than that). Financially and socially not a big enough issue for us to get involved?! Excuse me, but are you fucking serious?! Thank goodness you though otherwise during the time of Hitler or we may be a much different world today.
The film brings great insight into the advantages of technology in the modern world and how we, as a people, can use this to our advantage. No longer should the politicians, 1%, and media have the say in who or what we fight for, but rather, the people, are the ones who can now make decisions on a global level. Please watch this film and find a way to be a part of the change in our system! Don't fight for America, fight for humanity!
UPDATE March 7th, 2012 at 3:05PM: I was hoping to do more research on this after I got home from work and was able to spend some time investigating, but have discovered, I shouldn't wait that long. An article posted by Jezebel has already brought up many issues that I feel everyone who watches this video should be aware of:
Dubious Finances
From "Visible Children":
"Invisible Children has been condemned time and time again. As a registered not-for-profit, its finances are public. Last year, the organization spent $8,676,614. Only 32% went to direct services (page 6), with much of the rest going to staff salaries, travel and transport, and film production. This is far from ideal, and Charity Navigator rates their accountability 2/4 stars because they haven't had their finances externally audited. But it goes way deeper than that.
Exaggerated Claims
From Foreign Affairs magazine:
In their campaigns, such organizations [as Invisible Children] have manipulated facts for strategic purposes, exaggerating the scale of LRA abductions and murders and emphasizing the LRA's use of innocent children as soldiers, and portraying Kony — a brutal man, to be sure — as uniquely awful, a Kurtz-like embodiment of evil.
Support for Military Intervention
From "Visible Children:"
The group is in favour of direct military intervention, and their money supports the Ugandan government's army and various other military forces. Here's a photo of the founders of Invisible Children posing with weapons and personnel of the Sudan People's Liberation Army. Both the Ugandan army and Sudan People's Liberation Army are riddled with accusations of rape and looting, but Invisible Children defends them,arguing that the Ugandan army is "better equipped than that of any of the other affected countries", although Kony is no longer active in Uganda and hasn't been since 2006 by their own admission. These books each refer to the rape and sexual assault that are perennial issues with the UPDF, the military group Invisible Children is defending.
Marketing Tactics
From Yale Professor Chris Blattman:
"[The video] feels much the same, laced with more macho bravado. The movie feels like it's about the filmmakers, and not the cause. There might be something to the argument that American teenagers are more likely to relate to an issue through the eyes of a peer. That's the argument that was made after the first film. It's not entirely convincing, especially given the distinctly non-teenage political influence IC now has. The cavalier first film did the trick. Maybe now it's time to start acting like grownups.
There are a few other things that are troubling. It's questionable whether one should be showing the faces of child soldiers on film. And watching the film one gets the sense that the US and IC were instrumental in getting the peace talks to happen. These things diminish credibility more than anything.
"Invisible Children is staffed by douchebags" (A woman after my own heart.)
From Vice:
"Now when I first watched the Kony 2012 video, there was a horrible pang of self-knowledge as I finally grasped quite how shallow I am. I found it impossible to completely overlook the smug indie-ness of it all. It reminded me of a manipulative technology advert, or the Kings of Leon video where they party with black families, or the 30 Seconds to Mars video where all the kids talk about how Jared Leto's music saved their lives. I mean, watch the first few seconds of this again. It's pompous twaddle with no relevance to fucking anything."
I am still going to try and decide where I stand on this matter, because whatever the facts about Invisible Children are, they still made one difference: People all over the world now feel empowered to know that they can make a difference. One person can make change, (s)he just has to ignite the passion within another. Kony is a bad man. Invisible Children is an organization trying to make change (whether it be 2 stars or 4). You decide what you want to do, because YOU have the freedom to do so.
If Kony 2012 inspired you to donate money to the region, check out these charities, all of which received four star ratings on Charity Navigator: AMREF USA, Doctors Without Borders, and Water.org.
YouTube Description:
KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.

April 25 2014 Latest news:
Tuesday, December 24, 2013
Thousands of people in Suffolk and Essex are still without power this morning because of damage caused by last night's storm - and some could still be without power tomorrow.
The number of homes without power in Suffolk had dropped to 425 at midday today, from 3,380 at about 7am. But that figure has now risen to 780.
The number of homes in Essex now without power stands at 2,115, which has risen from 1,807 earlier this morning.
A spokesman for UK Power Networks said: "We have had a very busy night with high winds and rainfall."
She said the firm had drafted in extra workers yesterday in anticipation of the storm, which was expected to bring gusts of up to 60mph and that they were "hopeful" power would be restored to the remaining homes tonight.
However, they have also announced that they are planning to help customers who have lost power with Christmas Day dinners.
The firm is appealing for any restaurants or pubs in the area who have spare tables on Christmas Day to email firstname.lastname@example.com
People who have suffered a power cut are asked to call UK Power Networks on 0800 783 8838.
Are you one of those affected by the power cut, or do you know someone without power? Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com or call 01473 324738.

From what I've tried, it would appear you have to pay.
I was just wondering how to use the group board. I tried to go on it, but a message popped up saying that my "subscription" had expired. I've tried logging in with my mangatutorials.com username and password.
If you could tell me how to use it, that would be great.
Thank you kindly!
From what I've tried, it would appear you have to pay.
That's what I was thinking. I followed the link to try and find out, but I couldn't figure out what the heck it was asking for.
Its not you, everyone is experiencing this. I think it could be the subscription for MT. There's a Groupboard thread in the General Discussion where you might find more information about this because I don't know a lot about it.
Rio didn't pay the bill you fools
Not. If anything, maybe you guys are overloading the place. ;p
Anyways, it'll be up when it'll be up. You'll see cries of joy in the Groupboard thread in General Discussion.

Kenmore >Women's Clothing > Proms & Promises
17455 68th Ave Ne Ste 203, Kenmore, WA | Directions 9802847.757357 -122.250349
Unfair Criticism of This Business! – I have done business at Proms and Promises three times and NEVER experienced any of the things I'm reading from these "Brides." It IS a smaller shop, and it IS full of HIGH-END DRESSES!!. People should treat the dresses as such!!! My Goodness!!! I've seen the way some young women act when they go through dresses at shops, such as David's Bridal, throwing them on the floor and walking on them, also leaving lipstick and makeup stains on dresses with a who cares attitude! I'm sure this small shop owner has to purchase her merchandise and it is hard enough to run a small shop today without having clients that don't appreciate anything you do for them!! If you want High-End Merchandise and Service, Shop at Proms & Promises!! Treat the Dresses With Respect, and You Will Receive the Same Respect Back!!!
Cramalot, thank you so much for your business and thank you for this review. It really helps to know that there are people out there that understand what it takes to run a small business in today's world.
Have to agree with the others – Recently I went in to purchase a prom dress. Found a beautiful gown, but it was $500.00. Went ahead and purchased it and had Betty do the alterations. First, we were told they would contact us when they were ready for us to come in for measurements....1 week before prom and still NO call. The dress had not been touched and when Betty was questioned we too, like the others, were made to feel like it was our fault! I was told that the dress was not finished, and I then told Betty how it could possibly be finished when you never had us come in for measurements...she then quickly changed her story and said that she had been so busy. I then let her know that we would be in the next day, but at that moment decided to go to the shop at once. When we arrived, ironically she was talking to city search and questioning them how people could place comments on the internet about her shop and continued to tell us her story.
It is usually the clients responsibility to call and make her appointments.Again, sorry for your bad experience, And I do apologize if I get to my store and people are waiting in the parking lot for me. And I just want to say thank you for your business and your review, I only wish you would have expressed your opinions to me in person so that maybe I could have done something about it.
i just want to say sorry for the reviews some of the people have wrote and they have bin taken off.. there are no bad rewivews from me or anyone in my group..
im sorry
thank you
"Tears of Truth" – My bride to be went to P&P with her close friend who is also getting married a few months before us to look at wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses. From the moment they walked into the store until the time they left they were glared at and verbally assaulted by this woman who swears she has done no wrong. I had to hold my bride to be as she broke down into tears recalling her time there. This was suppose to be a great time for her and her friend because they are both getting married and now they have been emotionally tormented by this woman even to this day after both of them wrote bad reviews this woman has the nerve to continue her assault over email, phone , etc. with threats of legal suits if they didn't take down the reviews. It's called Freedom of Speech for a reason!! We can say all we want about the horrific time we had to prevent others from shedding the same tears. I just pray that someday soon that someone will lock her doors and stop this from happening again.
To any person reading this review, This is a Cyber Net Bully attempting to CONDUCT AN INTERNET SMEAR CAMPAIGN against my Business. They are posting irresponsible, malicious and harmful communications, claiming that that was their experience with my business. These people were in my store for a routine alteration, one of them became very combative everytime I didn't agree with her (not my Client) and as a result this is what you are reading. They had to be threatned with involving the police to have a gown that did not belong to them returned and when it was, they had ripped it apart. The gown belonged to another Bride, what was the point? They are attempting to defame my Business and my personal integrity. I will be persuing my options to put a stop to this activity by these people.
WE MAY HAVE OUR DIFFREANCES – I would like to be honest here. I went to Proms and Promises and personally had a bad experiance. I don't really want to say what the experiance was. I felt I was talked down to and disrespectful. Betty felt She was nice to me. I guess her and I do not see eye to eye. When one person tell you that you cant try on the dress cause it doesnt look right or dont pull them out to look at them slide them when the racks are stuffed I can't really see the dress that way. She snapped that she didn't want us to ruin her dresses. I'm sorry to me if you would like me to buy a dress. I have to be able to look at it and be able to try it on. In her opinion it might not look good. but in mine it might. The after math of me taking my dress some were else to get fixed was even worse. I have sat here and read the bad reviews there are over 30 and a couple of good ones. Betty and iIdo not see eye to eye and personally I would never shop here. I will say You can go and judge for your self. Then write a good or a bad review.
Again, this is from the same group of people. (l) My merchandise. (2) if I see that it is being mishandled, I have the right to make a reasonable request or suggestion as to how it should be handled. (3) If a gown isn't going to fit your size I do not have to let you try it on and take the chance of damaging the gown. (4) Whatever gown you took someplace else has nothing to do with my Business since you did not purchase it from me nor did you ask me to alter it for you. (5) Since you are not doing business with my Company, why are you taking the trouble to read anything about it and what gives you the right to post anything since you have not done any business with my Company. (6) again this is a part of an ATTEMPT TO CONDUCT AN INTERNET SMEAR CAMPAIGN AGAINST MY COMPANY by posting irresponsible, malicious and harmful communications.
I was so happy and my daughter looks like a princess! – My daughter and I have been shopping here for years and continue to be amazed at the selection and the service each time we come. The owner, Betty is the kindest and is a sincerely caring woman. She is an absolute magician how she works with both mothers and daughters to make their day so special and absolutely perfect. The most gorgeous dress, making it fit just right, pressing it and finishing with a smile. Betty you are awesome, Thank you!
Susan, thank you for your business. I really appreciate your loyalty, Betty
Disappointed – Ladies, don't bother coming into this store. The owner is unprofessional, not helpful and has poor customer service skills. She will blame you for her mistakes. My dress came in completely in the wrong size due to her measurements. She blamed me said that i asked for a smaller size and then went on to say that its because i gained weight. There are way better places to go for purchasing your wedding dress or prom dress. I experienced exactly what the other negative reviews have said. This is just my opinion and experience that i had.
I would give this place 0 stars if i could.
Dear Anonymous, so sorry you don;t have the courage to publish your real name. I am pretty sure I know who you are, and you and I both know exactly why you are publishing this comment. You didn't win in court so you think you can get to my business this way. I remember that your Fiance' threatened to ruin my business and I guess this is how dishonorable situations are handled. Good Luck in your future
According to the rules of this game, the Business is supposed to be nice and offer something to please the disgruntled client. In this case, after a full year of trying, there is no way this time. I am sorry about all of that, sorry for the way it affects my business, sorry that I have to feel so defensive. I have a store policy as do all Small Business, they are pointed out to any person that orders a gown or anything else from me, If I don't stand behind my store policy, then I have no store policy.
Betty was Amazing – After going out to every formal wear boutique and bridal shop in the greater northwest over the span of four days, Proms & Promises was the only place that had enough of my size (which ranges from 0-4, depending on the designer) so that I could finally have a selection to find the right dress for me. Betty was attentive, helpful, and very friendly and even held the dress the entire day while we looked around at other stores but nothing compared. I would definitely recommend this boutique.
Thank you so much for your appreciation of my business, Betty
Unprofessional, disappointing – We purchased our daughter's wedding dress from P & P at a bridal show in January 2008. Alterations and cleaning were supposedly included in the sale price. The first fitting was done on August 10; the second/final fitting was scheduled for September 2, three days before the wedding; Betty, the owner, would not make the appointment any sooner than this. Upon arriving on September 2, no alterations/hemming/cleaning had been completed. Betty worked for the next two hours, but was never able to make the necessary alterations. Our daughter was very distraught; Betty's customer service attitude was very unprofessional and non-supportive.
To add insult to injury, the wedding dress was filthy. Long black streaks were found up and down on the dress. The bottom of the unhemmed dress was noticeably dirty. Our daughter's feet, just from walking back and forth from the dressing room to the fitting mirror, darkened from the dirt and dust. When Betty was confronted with this issue, she could only reply, "Well that's not MY fault...it's all the construction outside." Evidently taking precautions to keep her inventory clean was not a high priority.
On September 3 we scrambled frantically to find a tailor who would be able to make professional alterations in the two days we had left before the wedding. Luckily we stumbled upon Alterations Express in the Crossroads area of Bellevue; the tailor did amazing work on the dress...very impressive. Clampitts Cleaners on Mercer Island took the dress less than 24 hours before the wedding, cleaning and pressing it...another totally professional and customer service based shop. We spent well over $200 to get the dress ready for the wedding.
Early last week I sent Betty a certified letter, expressing our displeasure with the experience at her dress shop. As of this posting, she has yet to accept the delivery of this letter. We are asking to be reimbursed for only the cleaning costs...a more than generous compromise, we believe.
I wish we had done a more thorough investigation of this business before purchasing the dress. There are numerous negative web postings of this establishment. When an owner admits that she has been taken to small claims court more than once (although she does say that she has never "lost" one of these small claims law suits), that should be quite a red flag. I'm just sorry we didn't read the postings first. Please don't make the same mistakes that we made...patronize some other dress shop.
Update: January 11, 2010
Ms. Dietz refused to accept delivery of my letter and it was returned to me today unopened.
Same Client as in the previous response, my remark is exactly the the same, They got all of their alterations for free since I could not accomplish the Brides last minute change to her gown and after exlpaining to the Bride and with her approval, I left it available for the next alteration place to easily get into the gown to fix it all of this with the brides approval. This alterations expert that they found had the audacity to call me and rake me over the coals and make a big deal out of what was meant to be a courtesy. Anyway what was was and I know I go out of my way to please my customers and everyonce in a while, there will be one that can't be pleased. So be it. I did what I could
Another great job by Bette! – My son was just married and my daughter and I bought our dresses and had Bette alter them. She
is amazing! Our dresses looked beautiful and we were so glad Bette did the alterations!
She is the best! Thanks Bette!
Mumsy, thank you as a Business owner, I really appreciate customers like you. I am happy your daughter had a beautiful wedding. Betty

Elementary and Intermediate Algebra (2nd Edition)by Katherine R. Struve Janet Mazzarella Michael Sullivan III
The Sullivan/Struve/Mazzarella Algebra Series was written to motivate students to "do the math" outside of the classroom through a design and organization that models what you do inside the classroom. The left-to-right annotations in the examples provide a teacher's voice through every step of the problem-solving process. The Sullivan exercise sets, which begin with Quick Checks to reinforce each example, present problem types of every possible derivation with a gradual increase in difficulty level. The new "Do the Math" Workbook acts as a companion to the text and to MyMathLab®by providing short warm-up exercises, guided practice examples, and additional "Do the Math" practice exercises for every section of the text. Operations on Real Numbers and Algebraic Expressions; Equations and Inequalities in One Variable; Introduction to Graphing and Equations of Lines; Systems of Linear Equations and Inequalities; Exponents and Polynomials; Factoring Polynomials; Rational Expressions and Equations; Roots and Radicals; Quadratic Equations; Graphs of Quadratic Equations in Two Variables and an Introduction to Functions. For all readers interested in beginning algebra.

Postnatal care (QS37)
Specific, concise statements that act as markers of high-quality, cost-effective patient care
Antenatal and postnatal mental health: clinical management and service guidance
The advice in the NICE clinical guideline on mental health problems during pregnancy and after giving birth covers:
- recognising mental health problems during pregnancy and in the first year after giving birth
- the care and treatment (including drugs and psychological treatments) of women who develop a mental health problem during pregnancy or in the first year after giving birth, and women who have a higher chance of developing a problem at this time
- the care and treatment (including drugs and psychological treatments) of women who already had a mental health problem before becoming pregnant
- how families and carers may be able to support women with mental health problems and get support for themselves.
It does not specifically look at:
- the care of women with 'baby blues' in the first few days after giving birth (this is covered in the NICE guideline on postnatal care)
- the treatment of physical health problems during pregnancy and in the first year after giving birth
- the treatment of mental health problems at any time other than when planning a pregnancy, during pregnancy and in the first year after giving birth.
Since publication, two recommendations in this guideline have been corrected or clarified. See the summary of changes for details. Most recent change: June 2010.

"Excellent quality and a delightful design. It was very helpful to have the variety of color combinations for the design and the options for the back side. I added photos and text to the back of my card. The coordinating envelopes and address labels were the icing on the cake. I also have to complement the excellent customer service! I couldn't be more pleased with the entire experience."
"We opted for the curvy design.The first batch that arrived, the names were cut off. But customer service was great and issued a brand new, corrected order. Love the product! Very classy!"
"Really impressed with the thickness/paper quality. Card turned out great. Excellent color quality. Received on time even over holiday. A few envelopes were dirty on arrival from packaging process. Recommend modified envelopes for square card-- these worked great. Put photo on back-- wish there was an additional text box here."
"Quality of the card is excellent. Loved the retro graphics. Went well with a close up picture of our 3 kids in front of the Christmas tree. Got lots of compliments from friends and family."
"This is a very nice card with excellent quality of the card and envelope. Excellent customer service as well. I won't buy anywhere, but tiny prints. Highly recommended to anyone."

Over the last few weeks, residents in the small town of Chester have been embroiled in a Rooster Beef.
A husband and wife had proposed a ban on keeping noisy livestock - such as chickens and roosters - in residential neighborhoods.
An extremely well-attended public hearing was postponed when hundreds of angry residents turned out with signs and chicken hats to support the local fowl in this quaint hamlet, described as an "agricultural town."
Well, according to this official notice on the town's web site, the issue has now been resolved, as John and Bonnie Bennet have withdrawn their petition.
But, for many families in Chester, this "Rooster Ruckus" isn't entirely over because it continues to spark some valuable conversations between parents and kids. Many passionate children learned lessons about civic responsibility and standing up for one's beliefs during this process.
"I definitely believe it's good for them to be involved," says Kathleen Bisson, a Chester mom of two kids, Jack and Emi. "They've been very involved. They've had a petition signed at school. They felt it was their duty to save the animals."
In fact, Emi, a third grader, wrote a "Letter to the Editor" for her school newspaper.
Here is an excerpt:
There are more chickens on earth than humans. Over three billion chickens run free in China. It's ridiculous taking chickens away from Chester when three billion chickens are able to run free in China...chickens are the closest relative to the Tyrannosaurs Rex. It is common for a hen to live 8-10 years. This means that many owners and children can or have become really close to their chickens. If you take them away, these people will be very sad.
Emi and her friend also decided to poll the student body at Chester Elementary School:
A total of two hundred eighteen students were polled. The results showed that 14 students were in support of removing chickens and other squawking animals out of Chester. Two hundred four students want to keep chickens or other squawking animals in Chester.
Now, the kids feel empowered by the end result and the fact that their voices were heard.
Have your children learned any important lessons by becoming involved in town events?

I've looked into preferences> General to see if I can improve my system/application performance.
It is set to the: Mercury engine, software only.
It's kinda greyed out and won't let me choose to us either GPU (CPU?).
Question 2:
Could you please describe a configuration for a new PC that will meet the needs of CS6 Suite without breaking my bank?
I neet it to be a notebook for mobility.
Have a look on the Adobe site - particularly at the graphics card specification - it's the GPU that determines whether CS6 can take advantage of MPE hardware acceleration.
All you need in a notebook is:
The lucky thing is you don't need a battery, just a wall outlet. (that's why you want a notebook, right?)
If the laptop has an eSATA port, you can edit with only one internal 7200 rpm drive - provided that you have a FAST drive connected to the eSATA port. ALL media goes on this external drive. I can edit AVCHD from a Canon HF S30 with just the internal drive and a single 500 GB WD drive in an external eSATA box. I must admit, life is better with a 2 drive RAID0 connected via eSATA.
In other respects the laptop conforms to Harm's criteria set out above.
I am not interested in the speed of rendering or export, only that I can do some basic editing, since I use this system only while on holiday. All my real editing is done on a Sandy Bridge-e desktop.
The problem is that laptops with eSATA ports (and FireWire ports) are becoming objects for the Antiques Roadshow!
My current card is definitly NOT up to par. I'm going to have to go with a new machine for sure.
Thanks for the great specs.
I'm just hoping I can get a CUDA card in a laptop (did I say notebook before? is that the same as a laptop?)
If there's no CUDA availability, do you recommend anything else by way of Laptop Graphics?
I'm going to be going with as much external as possible with regard for the eSATA (maybe usb3) option so I can expand/ swap-out storage as needed. Sound ok?
As Harm says, to take full advantage of the MPE Hardware Acceleration your laptop MUST have a Nvidia card with at least 1 GB of memory - this must be graphics card memory, NOT borrowed from the main computer memory.
Almost certainly, your graphics card will not be on the Adobe approved list, so you will have to use the "hack" to get MPE hardware acceleration.
USB3 may be fine for external drive connection. I cannot comment as I have never used it. I know that USB2 is not acceptable.
This http://forums.adobe.com/message/4578948 message has brands that are specifically designed for video editing
Can you point me to the CUDA hack for when I need to do that?
I'm going to look at off the shelf HP computers today.
How can I tell if it'll be CUDA ready or hackable?
>How can I tell
Go back to Harm's list in message #2 (item 3)

Wow! You've given me a ton of useful information!
My old machine has an ATI Radeon card and interface.
When I was having difficulties with .MOV playback in quicktime, I updated the ATI and video card drivers. Maybe it defaulted to a wrong card.
I think may have dual cards since there are standard video ports and an HDMI out.
This machine worked fine three weeks ago. Maybe I just have to reset that thing. Might be worth trying.
This is my preference screen in CS5 and CS6:
Notice Video rendering and playback are greyed out.
Here's my Display info:
It apparently does not have dual cards. Until about a month ago, I did not see the Mercury Playback. I'm pretty sure it just used the video card, however underpowered it is. Do you know if I can make Premiere use the card?
Hey! Where'd my screen shots go??
Let me try that again...
The Mercury Playback Engine will not work with an ATI card on a PC. On a PC, we use CUDA acceleration exclusively, and that is a nVidia technology.
It looks like the Mercury Playback Engine is the only thing selected and I can't choose the ATI card.
Sooooo, time for a new computer for me??
Update Update Update!!! But please note my new issue below.
I broke the bank (actiually CompuIUSA has an 18-month same as cash deal)!!
I bought a super gamer laptop!
Here's my new specs:
ASUS G75VW-TS72 Gaming Notebook -
3rd generation Intel Core i7-3610QM 2.3GHz (Quad Core w/ Hyperthreading),
(Empty HDD bay for a solid state drive....someday)
Blu-ray Player/DVDRW,
3GB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670M (CUDA, OpenCL, and DirectCompute 2.1 support)
17.3" Full HD, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
New issue: The programs including those with 3d are running extremely smoothly. My multicam playback, Warp Stabilization, etc. are running flawlessly!
BUT- the video card is newer than the list of compatible listed in the Adobe file of cards in my "CUDA Supported Cards.txt" file.
I tried to edit it by adding the card as a previous post showed to do right in the .txt file.
It wouldn't let me save the file. "You don't have permission..."
So I logged in as Administrator to try again, same "you do not have permission..."
Inside Premiere it still does not give me the option to use the video card.
"Mercury engine-software only" is selected and is locked/greyed out so I can't send it to those 3-GIGS of video FRAM.
Should I just wait for Adobe to update the .txt file for me through automatic updates or is there something I'm missing?
Thank you guys for all your great help!!
Just elevate your access rights under properties/security when logged in as administrator.
I'm not finding much help on elevating my access through Google search. Do you have a link that will explain how I do this?
I found the security tab and it has check marks in all the areas (modify,....) Looking like I have full access and permissions.
Yet when I try to edit that file or even save a copy it tells me "access denied"
Even logged in as admin.
Since the GeForce 670M is new, and CUDA capable, do you think Adobe will eventually include it in their compatibility list and thus be accessible to Premiere Pro?
Go to http://search.microsoft.com/search.aspx?mkt=en-US&setlang=en-US and search for information on Win7 file permissions
I built my computer and installed Win7, so I am the only user and I boot up in the only Administrator account... and I STILL have to "allow" myself access to any file on the root of my C drive
You might also see if you can copy the text file to another location... edit... and copy the revised file back to the needed location... that will, of course, mean you have to say "yes" to the replace message, but that MAY let you do what you need
But, again... link above for all things Microsoft
Also, since you have already run into a Win7 permission problem, do this... http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395
It wouldn't let me save the file. "You don't have permission..."
Copy the file out to another folder, such as My Documents. Open it from there, make the additions, and save it. Then copy that back over into the original location. You want to do an Overwrite. You'll be asked to provide Admin permission, but it'll work.
Since there is parenting going on in Windows, you may have to start at a higher level in your directory tree. I remember, although it was some time ago, that it took me quite some time to get full administrative rights to all directories, including system and hidden ones. Can't remember whether inheriting was an option.
I think that if you drag the .txt file on to your desktop you can edit it there. Right click on the file on your desktop, open it in Notepad, save it, then drag it back to its original home.
Make sure you know where it belongs before you start - in C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6!
HOLY COW!!! You guys are freaking geniuses!!! That last bit totally worked! Now I'm getting Mercury engine WITH GPU accel.
Rendering is SMOKING with the three G's of Video RAM!!!!!
160,000 frames rendered in a few of MINUTES versus HOURS (on my old machine, anyway)!!!!
I am astounded and very grateful to all who helped me! I will pay this forward if I ever get a chance!

Boston >Food & Dining > Mccormick & Schmick's Seafood Park Plaza
34 Columbus Ave, Boston, MA | Directions 0211642.350952 -71.068932
Mon-Sat: 11:30am-12am, Sun: 11:30am-11pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Central
Extremely disappointed – My wife and I went there because we had a discount coupon from an event we attended. The place looked nice and we thought we would be in for a great evening. My wife was debating between the clams and the lobster ravioli. The waiter suggested the clams (apparently more expensive than the ravioli). When her meal came, we were shocked at the paucity of clams. if there were 10, I would be surprised. I raised this with the waiter who offered to get her more. My wife demurely declined. He then offered her another glass of wine. We expected that it was complimentary given our complaint about the clams. It wasn't. The clams also were not very good.
As for my meal, the "Haddock Chatham, Mass.", it tasted fine but it was lacking the lobster stuffing that was supposed to accompany it.
I loved my clam chowder. My wife, on the other hand, was a bit uneasy. If you go, make sure you ask if they checked to make sure the clam shells are removed. They are not a good substitute for the lack of clams in the chowder
Horrible Service-Never going there again! – My boyfriend and I came for a quick dinner. We waited for 55 min. after we ordered; and we only ordered 1 burger, buffalo wings, and a shrimp cocktail. While we there, these guys sat down to a dirty table even after we put in our order. So the waitress had time to clean their table and then they got their table full of food and were enjoying it for a good 20 min before we got so upset that we asked the waitress, and her answer was that they ordered "medium" burgers, while ours was med. well, we waited for another 5 min, and they food still didn't come, so then i asked her if we could just pay for our drinks, and she just walked away, no apology said., she didn't even get us our bill, grrrr......that really made me angry! so we had to leave our money on the table, I understand that sometimes restaurants mess up orders, but if the waitress had said sorry or explained to us why we waited so long, i wouldn't be so angry, I'm neva goin back there again!
Better Than Expected – I stumbled into McCormicks by accident and really didn't expect very much, but the food is excellent, the tables are comfortable, the service was great and the price was fair. I really liked their blackened swordfish, which is really fresh with a great flavor. All of their shellfish is great and in a good sauce or broth. There are many different excellent fish dishes and they have great specials when certain fish is more seasonal. And the kitchen was flexible about prepping my dish to my specific taste. I have also been there for the happy hour specials which are an amazingly great deal. A large burger which was great, was only $1.95. My only complaint is I wish they didn.t play jazz music in the dining area. Although it's not too loud so it's not a big deal. Overall I say the food is really outstanding and it's a fun atmosphere.
Clubby corporate restaurant draws seafood lovers with fresh daily catches and posh atmosphere. – In Short
Upscale and sophisticated, this chain features art deco-inspired trappings such as dark wood, shiny brass and beveled glass. Servers clad in black and white weave through cocktailing couples and businessmen at the bar. The classic American, seasonally inspired seafood menu changes daily; specialties include starters of Dungeness crab cakes and oysters on the half shell, plus entrees like cedar plank-roasted salmon, sauteed lobster with scallops and rock shrimp, and seared yellowfin tuna with wasabi, soy and ginger.
cheap happy-hour food items – usually go for happy hour. they have a good selection of dirt cheap food on happy hour menu which you can order before... 5:30pm i think?
however the drinks are kinda on the pricey side (around $12+ for cocktails). well they have to balance their check books too you know.
Avoid during the weekend.... – The food was good, when we got what we ordered and when it finally arrived. I would have rather of gone somewhere else, b/c there was no organization or help for the people working there.
Surprisingly unimpressive – I was pretty disappointed by the food. Many of my friends love it there and I finally went after 4yrs about hearing how great the food was. Maybe I ordered the wrong dishes, but everything was very bland and dry. I should have gotten a regular lobster, you can't really go wrong with that. Maybe I should have only gone for happy like one of the reviews stated.
Sunday Family Dinner – The restaurant is pretty good and acceptable. We went with family and were four adults only. The servicer was friendly and amicable. The menu offering is larger than say a Legal's.
Appetizers - the mussels and RI quahogs were a bit spicy. The chowder was fine. The broiled seafood platter was delicious and the traditional atlantic cod was great. The only thing too sour was the linguine with clam sauce - too much lemon juice. The desserts looked delicious, but we did not have any of them.
The great thing about this place are the "Snugs". These are private booths that fit about six people. They provide privacy and separate your party from the main dining floor. However, you must make a reservation to get one of them or ask ahead of time. We enjoyed the privacy and sophistication of this unique restaurant feature.
From A Server's Perspective – I really wanted to like this place. I work in the business and am always looking for places that offer quality product, service and good value. Unfortunately none of those attributes are found here. The food was only mediocre, overpriced and the service was definetly substandard. While dining at the bar on a relatively quiet Saturday afternoon I watched a "trained professional" do some unsavory things with the very same hands he used to make drinks and serve food. Not once in the time I was there did he bother to wash those hands. Instead he continually wiped them on the front of his too-small white jacket and blithely continue on his way.
only go for happy hour – the $1.95 happy hour menu is fabulous, you get great portions for little money and its really good. The problem starts when you sit in the dinning room. The regular menu is rediculously overpriced. the food on the $1.95 menu is better! I cant believe I paid $100 for me and my girlfriend when i could have gone to Mcdonalds and got better service and food.Also they have about fifty seafood items at the top of the menu that you cant order, its jsut shows you the seafood they have. how confusing.

Like windshields towards a fly...
It looks like, from what I've been told, just the survey email has gone out - is that incorrect? If that is true, it could still be a bit before the actual soak goes out.
"...life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."
Guidelines of Conduct
The only dumb question is the one not asked.
Anyone actually got an update yet? Or have emails just gone out about the soak? If an update has gone out already, what version is it?
I've left my Bionic stock just in case!
And usually, how long does it take after the announcement of a soak for OTAs to begin?
"...life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it."
Guidelines of Conduct
The only dumb question is the one not asked.
This is great news! It's been a long time coming especially for those still running on stock (which is very few in this community). Hope to here from those who are part of the soak process (though thats not really suppose to be allowed ) and can't wait until it is official.

While most eyes will be on the Big Four nations and their stars, teams like Switzerland and Slovakia are set to show the world what they can do starting this morning as the 2010 World Junior Championships kicks off.
Group A
The kid featured in this column at the beginning of December won't break the U20 team for at least a couple more years, so Team Slovakia must continue with the motley crew that dragged the team into contention last year.
Part of the problem is the country's development strategy. Instead of playing throughout the various senior and junior leagues like every other country, the best U20 players are selected to play for a team calledHK Orange that competes year-round in the Extraliga . It's a fine idea in theory- let your kids play adults and they'll develop quicker- but the real-world results have not been so good. Goalies and defencemen have been especially hurt by the system as they require the most mentoring and maturing. It's also telling that the WJC team's best forwards play either on other squads (Tomas Tatar) or in the CHL (Richard Panik).
However, goal and defense is exactly where the Slovaks need the most help after a key graduation. A little extra scoring wouldn't hurt either.
F Jakub Gasparovic (90): Last year, it all came down to the offensive heroics of one Tomas Tatar. So how about pairing his clutch scoring ability with someone who once scored three shorties on the same PK? Beyond that feat, Jakub Gasparovic has the three key ingredients for WJC success: age, speed and offensive touch. 19 year-olds tend to dominate the tournament and Gasparovic should prove no different; the top offensive threat for HK Orange, his 13 goals in the Slovak Extraliga are tenth in the league and one more than a guy named Ziggy Palffy.
D Martin Marincin (92): Arguably the biggest struggle European teams have in playing Team Canada is size and physical play. This is where a player likeMarincin will come in handy. One of only a few 1992s on the roster, the 6'3, 181 lbs rearguard will be tasked with shutting down the other team's stars. A strong performance would strengthen his draft stock immeasurably.
G Marek Ciliak (90): If the Slovaks are to repeat their medal round heroics, they need another Jaroslav Janus. The only problem? He's now too old. Everything for the Slovaks rests on the shoulders of 19 year-old starter Marek Ciliak. While he's out-played backup Tomas Halasz during the Extraliga season, that's not saying too much. At home, Ciliak's 5.43 GAA and 0.870 Sv% are slightly better Halasz's 5.33 GAA and 0.840 Sv% for HK Orange.
In pre-tournament play, Ciliak shut out Austria- a team not in their pool- and allowed two goals on 13 shots against Team Canada after taking over from Halasz, who allowed four on fourteen.
Boasting their best roster ever, the Swiss are set to show they're moving past the likes of Slovakia and the Czech Republic. While lead on defense by LucaSbisa and 2009 Preds pick Roman Josi, the team's best player could be a top ten pick come June.
LW Nino Niederreiter (92): One of four 92s leading the way in the emergence of the Portland Winterhawks from expansion doormat to contender, 6'2 left wing Nino Niederreiter (say that three time fast) is undrafted merely because he hasn't been eligible yet. In 37 games, the strapping power forward has 23 goals and 41 points to lead the Hawks in both categories. Niederreiter has been a fixture in our first round rankings since October but a strong WJC could have him challenging for a spot in the top ten like Anze Kopitar did in his draft year.
C Tim Weber (90): Switzerland's version of Anton Lander, look out for 6'0 181 lbs Tim Weber to be a key component of the club- even if he doesn't produce many points. Playing for MoDo's J20 team, Weber's sound defensive game and excellent skating ability earned him a brief call-up to the Elitserien earlier this year. While Niederreiter will doubtless steal the spotlight, it'll be Weber's job to dig the puck out of corners and watch the other end.
G Benjamin Conz (91): A game-stealing goalie is a must if a team is going to go far in a short tournament, and Benjamin Conz has shown the ability to that. Voted one of Switzerland's top three players at last year's U18, Conz's quick reflexes and sound style are sure to earn him some fans in Regina. His glove is especially potent but it will need to be sharper than ever to turn back the likes of Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle.
The good news? Many of Latvia's best young players have begun to seek development opportunities outside their home country, including North America. The bad news? 'Elsewhere' is a diverse list of places, from Russia to France to the USA.
F Roberts Bukarts (90): For most prospects, being the Rookie of the Week in a men's league is a nice feather in one's cap. In Latvia, it's front page material. 6'0, 181 lbs forward Roberts Bukarts has split time this season between Latvia's junior selects team- which competes in the Belarussian senior league- and the KHL. In his first three games for HC Dinamo Minsk, Bukarts tallied two goals and was named the ROTW for November 17th.
F Rolands Gritans (91): When Latvia plays Canada later this morning, expect the story of Rolands Gritans to earn mention. A 6'2, 176 lbs forward, Gritans' journey to further his hockey career has taken him to one of the lowest rungs on the hockey ladder. The Asnières Castors play in the Federation Francaise de Hockey sur Glace Division 2, or FFHG 2 for short. But don't let the '2' fool you; it's actually the third of four levels of 'professional' hockey in France. Comprised mostly of imports under 30 who played everywhere from the NCAA to Division 1 in Sweden, it's an odd but interesting challenge for a player not yet 19.
In nine games for the Castors, Gritans has a whopping 15 goals and 28 points. Amazingly, that's not even the best on his team, let alone the league; the highest scorer in all of theFFHG 2 has 40 points in 11 contests.
Gritans may not be a force in the tournament, but his is an example of what many in the 'developing countries' of hockey are willing to do to get noticed.
D Karlis Kalvitis (91): One of three Latvian U20 players currently playing in North America, 6'4 Karlis Kalvitis is unarguably playing at the highest level. While one of his countrymen is in the Atlantic Junior League and the other plays at an level lower level,Kalvitis suits up for Shattuck St. Mary's Midget AAA team (not to be confused with their prep team). Kalvitis is second in scoring among defenders on the squad with 12 points in 26 games.
Group B
F Markus Pöck (92): The Pöck family is hockey royalty in Austria. Markus' older brother is former Islander and Ranger Thomas, and his cousin Max Wilfan also plays on the U20 team. The only first-time eligible player on the roster, Markus already has NHL size at 6'2, 182 lbs. At the Swiss U20 level Pöck collected 12 points in ten games before being called up to Klagenfurter AC's senior team. He has just one goal in 21 games and is well behind his brother's totals at the same age (5-15-20 in 46 games).
LW Konstantin Komarek (late 92): The second-youngest player in the entire tournament and just four days older than Adam Larsson, Komarek is a key piece in the Austrian offense despite his young age. Playing in Swedish junior, the 5'10 forward has eight points in 18 games for Luleå J20. However, of special note is his 41 PIM- a sign he won't be pushed around despite his size.
D Stefan Ulmer (90): A December 90 and thus eligible for the first time in 2008, 5'10 Stefan Ulmer has quietly blossomed into one of the top rushing defenders in the WHL. After winning a Memorial Cup during his rookie year with Spokane, Ulmer exploded last season posting 40 points. At the D1 WJC, Ulmer continued his offensive heroics, scoring the most points in the entire tournament as Switzerland earned promotion to the first level. Ulmer is on pace for around the same amount of points as last year, but is fourth on the entire squad in points. He is a long-term project who could develop into a Mark Streit-type defender.
C Stepan Novotny (91): Briefly the WHL's scoring leader at the beginning of the year, the 6'2 pivot has slowed down but not entirely flatlined. Traded to Swift Current in preparation for a Mem Cup run by the Broncos, Novotny is top 25 in goals. A strong, creative center who can stickhandle like few others on the Czech squad, a breakout tournament would ensure he earns a better fate next summer; after being undrafted, the Edmonton Oilers invited him to junior camp but elected not sign him.
D Radko Gudas (90): Another Czech player here in Canada, 6'0 Radko Gudas has been a surprise contributor for the Everett Silvertips. Where to start? A terrific physical presence that has racked up six fights and 86 PIM, Gudas' 20 points lead the Tips blueline. However, few stats are more impressive than his league-leading +27. While not as sound defensively as that might indicate, Gudas' soft hands and patience have created more goals than he's been on the ice for. Watching him join the rush or pinch is a treat as he has the puck skills of a forward and knows it.
G Pavel Francouz (90): It's likely that if Pavel Francouz had jumped to North America, he'd be considered one of the top imports in the CHL. As it is, having ridden the pine for most of the year in the 02 Extraliga, the 19 year-old has not been able to show off as much as he did last season. In 20 starts for HC Plzen's junior team, Francouz posted 1.74 GAA and 0.953 Sv%. Francouz relies on reaction and acrobatics; while it hasn't endeared him to the Plzen braintrust- he's gotten into just seven games- it's the right fit for a tourney where the shots and cross-seam passing will be coming fast and furious from Sweden, Russia and Finland.
LW Vyacheslav Kulemin (90): Russia's failures- and successes- in the past at the World Junior level have everything to do with the country's reliance on pure skill. The last few years have seen that change, and while Team Russia will always dress more flash than smash, players like Slava Kulemin are necessary to fend off 'North American' hockey.
Kulemin has a great deal in common with 2008's Russian surprise, Viktor Tikhonov. Both were older players who had never been considered for the national team before, but their mix of size- Tikhonov is 6'2, Kulemin 6'1- and defensive awareness make them perfect bottom sixers.
The comparison may soon stretch to draft pedigree. On the strength of 12 points in 43 RSL games, then 19 year-old Tikhonov cracked the first round. Kulemin is on pace for the same amount, and if NHL teams were impressed with Tikhonov's soft hands, they'll love Kulemin's energy and tenacious forechecking game.

For the purposes of this Agreement the "Data" comprise any of the spatial data and associated attribute data downloadable from the UNEP-WCMC website, excluding the World Database on Protected Areas.
This dataset provides spatial representation for the 234 "Data Sheet Sites" in the Centres of Plant Diversity (Davis et al. 1994-1997). In addition to the 234 priority sites selected for Data Sheet Site treatment, the Centres of Plant Diversity volumes recognize a number of additional sites in the Regional Summaries, but these are not included here. Theoretically, based on spatial information provided for some non-Data Sheet Sites in the CPD volumes (or even just the name of the sites in many cases), it would be possible to map many non-Data Sheet Sites. However, it would be difficult to do so consistently, and, furthermore, only the Data Sheet Sites are based on actual criteria. Specifically, to qualify for "Data Sheet" treatment in the volumes, mainland sites must have >1000 vascular plants, of which at least 100 are endemic to the site or to the phytogeographical region in which the site occurs; island floras must contain at least 50 endemic species or at least 10% of the flora must be endemic.

UNEP-WCMC, with the financial support of the UN-REDD programme, wrote a paper on biodiversity monitoring for REDD+ published in the journal "Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability" as part of ongoing work on REDD+ safeguards. The paper observes the following three challenge to biodiversity monitoring for REDD: choosing which aspects of biodiversity to monitor, the difficulty of attributing particular changes to REDD+ and the likely scarcity of resources for biodiversity monitoring. It proposes three responses which may address these challenges: 1) agreed policy targets that identify what should be monitored; 2) making links to existing biodiversity monitoring and to monitoring to estimate GHG emissions and removals; and 3) developing clear theories of change to assist in determining which changes in biodiversity can be attributed to REDD+. The paper is available on the journal website here.Resource Type: Tools / Applications
On October 16, at the REDD+ Day of CBD COP 11 in Hyderabad, the UN-REDD programme launched a policy brief focusing on multiple benefits and safeguards under REDD+. The paper elaborated on the use of tools and data to support decisions, and presented examples from implementation in REDD+ countries.
REDD+ is increasingly considered to have the potential to contribute to a range of policy goals in addition to climate change mitigation in the forestry sector. It is also recognized that there are social and environmental risks that may arise as the REDD+ mechanism is being implemented.
What has been less widely acknowledged is that avoiding significant risks and securing additional benefits from REDD+ could be the key to the overall success of the mechanism. By securing benefits beyond carbon, REDD+ can draw support from broader social and political constituencies; demonstrate that it enables a wider range of values to be realized; and generates sustainable income sources.
For governments and other stakeholders to adopt a broader approach to REDD+, a strong evidence base is needed to demonstrate that additional benefits will indeed be achieved, and contributions to national and local priorities accomplished. The Policy Brief outlines a series of analytical approaches that can help provide an evidence base to inform REDD+ decisions. It focuses on addressing environmental risks and benefits, and provides examples from Panama, Nigeria, DRC and Indonesia of where these approaches are already used.
The policy brief was drafted collaboratively with UNEP by UNEP-WCMC as part of their work for the UN-REDD Programme.Resource Type: Tools / Applications

According to one South Dakota teen, "Ethics are important no matter what profession you are in or where you work. Ethics define your character."
In large numbers, teens today express a troubling contradiction when it comes to ethics. They admittedly express confidence in feeling prepared to make the right choices in the future, but freely admit to unethical behavior today. Eighty percent of teens surveyed say they are ethically prepared, but more than one third of students believe you must break school rules to succeed and nearly half say lying to parents and guardians is acceptable.
These feelings among teens raise concerns to employers. Through Junior Achievement, business executives and community leaders will take time from their busy schedules to discuss with teens the necessity of ethics in the workplace and personal lives. The Vermillion event is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 6.
Junior Achievement works to provide tools and role models to teens to help them become prepared to make ethical decisions. Through the JA Excelling through Ethics program, these business executives will share basic values and beliefs, as well as engage students in discussions on the role of ethics in their school life and in their own personal and business dealings.
The impact of the program is substantial. Throughout South Dakota, over 350 business executives will impact more than 6,000 high school students through the program. After participating last year, one teen expressed, "The choices you make sets a reputation for your character." That reputation is being molded through this JA program and these community leaders.

By Steve Mistler email@example.com
Staff Writer
Digging in against a federal health care law he called the "degradation of our nation's premier health care system," Gov. Paul LePage said Friday he will not implement a state-customized insurance exchange or participate in an expansion of Medicaid for an estimated 37,000 uninsured Mainers.
Staff photo by Andy Molloy STORM TOUR: Gov. Paul LePage tours the Maine Emergency Management Agency in Augusta on Monday.
Both moves were met with disappointment, but not surprise, from the incoming Democratic legislative majority. The presumptive Democratic House Speaker, Rep. Mark Eves of North Berwick, and Senate President-elect Justin Alfond of Portland said the governor's decision was a missed opportunity, partly because the federal government would pay for 100 percent of the Medicaid expansion from 2014 to 2016 and 90 percent after that.
It's unclear what specifically Democrats can, or will, do to blunt the moves. But Alfond predicted that a flurry of bills related to the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, will await lawmakers next session.
LePage's decision on the exchanges – online marketplaces for individuals and small businesses to shop for private coverage – was anticipated. His administration and the outgoing Republican legislative majority stalled exchange implementation long enough that even supporters are wary of hastily cobbling one together by the October 2013 deadline.
According to an analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation, states that run their own exchanges or partner with the federal government will have more control over which coverage plans will be available to consumers. States can also customize the plans to their residents' health care needs.
Last year, an advisory panel comprised of insurers and hospitals unanimously recommended that the state create its own exchange.
"With a federally-run exchange you don't know what plans are going to be in it," Joe Bruno, a former Republican lawmaker who became chairman of the advisory committee, told the Press Herald Thursday. "You could end up with something cookie-cutter that just doesn't fit here."
Eves said lawmakers would use the upcoming session to plan for a future state-based exchange.
LePage is unlikely to support such efforts, but Eves noted that there was widespread support among Republicans and business leaders for a state-run exchange.
Incoming Republican House leader Rep. Kenneth Fredette of Newport said he expects Democrats to submit bills advocating for a state-based exchange and that Republicans would evaluate each one.
When asked if he supported a state-based exchange, Fredette said he wasn't opposed to one, but couldn't definitively say he would support one without first seeing the details.
Eves said he hoped Republicans would work with Democrats.
"The initial conversations I've had with Rep. Fredette is that we are all approaching this in a similar manner," Eves said. "We have to figure out a way to get things done in general, so this could be a good place to start."
Circumventing LePage's decree on Medicaid expansion could prove more difficult. Republicans generally believe that the taxpayer-funded program is inefficient and a state budget buster.
The Obama administration and local Democrats argue the expansion makes sense politically and financially.
Originally, Medicaid expansion was a mandatory provision of Obamacare. The U.S. Supreme Court this summer struck down the mandate, but millions in federal money remains for states that proceed with expansion.
Eves said that foregoing expansion effectively means Maine would subsidize health care coverage for other states that allow the federal government to cover more of their residents.
"In fact, we would be exporting our tax dollars to provide health coverage for people in any other state that decides to adopt the Medicaid expansion," he said. "Beyond the 100 percent the government will pay for the first two years, the feds will pay 90 percent after. That is a bargain when you're talking about paying for thousands of people's health care. It's a bad business decision to forgo that coverage."
