| 8.6°C Belfast
Steep entry prices seem not to have deterred tourists wanting to see London from near the top of the UK's highest building, which opens to visitors next month.
Tickets to view the capital from 800ft up on the 1,016ft high The Shard in south London are as much as £24.95 for adults and £18.95 for children. Yet the opening day for the attraction known as The View from the Shard - February 1 - is sold out, as is the second day, February 2.
For their money, visitors to The Shard, which towers over London Bridge station in south London, get a panoramic view of the capital. They take two lifts to get to level 68 for 40-mile views and then they can go up as far as the 72nd floor where the viewing area is partly in the open.
In the viewing areas visitors will be able to look, for free, through special telescopes known as Tell: scopes.
These are particularly useful if visibility is poor as they show not only a live "as it is" image but, at the push of a button, what a clear-day view would be as well as a sunset view and a night view.
Those using the telescopes will, by focusing on a particular landmark, receive audible information about it. Those wanting to see night views for themselves will be able to take advantage of the fact that the The View, which opens at 9am, will stay open until 10pm each day. Tickets are pre-booked although there will be some facility for walk-up visitors.
Organisers say there should not be queues, but to amuse those waiting to go through security, special, cheeky murals have been created.
Showing 140 famous Londoners in playful juxtapositions, the murals depict the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge as a Pearly King and Queen, London Mayor Boris Johnson shining the shoes of a top-hatted former mayor Ken Livingstone and the Queen - with corgi - riding on a scooter.
The Shard is part of a £2 billion redevelopment of the London Bridge area. The glassy, triangular-shaped Shard has 600,000sq ft of offices, three floors of restaurants and a 200-room Shangri-La hotel which is due to open this summer. There are also 10 luxury apartments which are expected to go for as much as £50 million each and which are expected to be let out.
The View from the Shard chief executive Andy Nyberg said: "This is the only place you can see the whole of London at once and, as such, is a natural starting point for exploring the UK's capital."

Neither a blade nor a rack – a platypus of sorts
The iDataPlex dx360 M4 server might officially start shipping on April 16, but there are some big customers in the supercomputing space that are buying these hybrid rack/blade machines to build HPC clusters.
Just this week, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Weather Service said it was moving from a cluster of Power 575 servers using Power6 processors to a new 149 teraflops iDataPlex platform using Intel's Xeon E5-2600 processors. Last November the US National Center for Atmospheric Research, which does longer-range climate modeling, tapped IBM to replace its own cluster of Power 575 machines with a much larger 1.6 petaflops Xeon E5-2600 cluster, called "Yellowstone". The Forschungszentrum Juelich (FZJ) supercomputing Center in Germany is also building a 3 petaflops supercomputer called "SuperMUC" based on the new iDataPlex nodes.
The iDataPlex rack setup is half as deep as a standard server rack, and comes in a cabinet with two columns of machines, side-by-side. As long as you can deal with the wider and more shallow racks, you can get twice as many servers on a square foot of floor as you can with standard rack machines.
The iDataPlex dx360 M4
The dx360 M4 can stack two two-socket compute nodes in a single enclosure, and can use any Xeon E5-2600 from the power-sipping 60 watter all the way up to the turbine-spinning 130 watter. According to the IBM spec sheets, the top-bin eight-core 2.9GHz 135 watt E5-2690 is not supported on the dx360 M4, and neither is the four-core Xeon E5-2643, which runs at 3.3GHz.
Each dx360 M4 node has two processors and a total of 16 memory slots, the same as the HS30 blade server. There are four memory channels per socket, but you can only use two DIMMs per channel. Also, you can only use unregistered or registered DDR3 sticks – no LR-DIMM.
The machine has two PCI-Express 3.0 slots on riser cards and a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 mezzanine card that can be used for either 10GE or InfiniBand networking. Each node in the two-node system can have two Gigabit Ethernet ports, and there's one 3.5-inch drive bay for local storage.
One interesting bit about the iDataPlex design is that the power supplies and disk slot are off to the left side and pulled out a little, with all of the peripheral and networking slots in the front of the machine, and the CPUs and memory at the back. Here's what it looks like:
The dx360 M4 server supports the latest releases of Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 and 11. The iDataPlex dx360 M4 2U chassis costs $455, and a compute node with no processors or disk installed, but 16GB of memory, costs $3,969. You can put two Nvidia Tesla GPU co-processors into each node of the dx360 M4.
Finally, IBM did one more thing, and this was on its existing BladeCenter HX5 blade servers, which launched two years ago with the Xeon 7500 processors and which were updated last year with the Xeon E7s. These Intel chips are for larger SMPs or two-socket boxes that need fatter memory. Starting March 16, IBM will offer four-rank DDR3 memory sticks at 16GB capacities running at 1.35 volts, lower than the standard 1.5 volt memory.
Gigabyte for gigabyte, the low-voltage memory offers capacity for approximately 20 per cent less juice burned, and in machines with 256GB across two sockets, the power savings can add up. And now customers can have fatter memory sticks than last year, when 8GB was the upper limit for the HX5 machines using low-volt memory. The 1.35 volt memory is only supported with the Xeon E7 chips, which have support for it etched into their on-chip memory controllers. ®

BARNACLE-GOOSE:(Redirected from MARTINI GEESE.)
A curious notion prevailed in the Middle Ages, that this bird (Branta leucopsis) was generated from the barnacle, a shell-fish growing on a flexible stem, and adhering to loose timber, bottoms of ships, etc., a metamorphosis to which Shakespeare alludes and to which reference is made in the verses of Bishop Hall, Butler, and others, as well as in the more serious scientific works of a great number of writers in the thirteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries. Against F. Max Müller's hypothesis, that the myth is to be derived from Hibernian geese, are the statements of Gerald of Wales (twelfth century) and of Gervase of Tilbury (1211), the latter of whom locates these birds on the Kentish shore. It is curious to note that Gerald turns the myth to good account against "obstinate" Jews, for whose conversion he appears zealous:
"Be wise at length, wretched Jew, be wise even though late! The first generation of man from dust without male or female [Adam] and the second from the male without the female [Eve] thou darest not deny in veneration of thy law. The third alone from male and female, because it is usual, thou approvest and affirmest with thy hard heart [brazen face?]. But the fourth, in which alone is salvation, from female without male—that, with obstinate malice, thou detested to thy own destruction. Blush, wretch, blush, and at least turn to nature! She is an argument for the faith, and for our conviction procreates and produces every day animals without either male or female."
Such argument failed to convince Jews of the truth of the Immaculate Conception, though they toobelieved the myth. How long before Giraldus the fable existed, Max Müller is not able to determine. It is therefore significant that it was already known to the Venerable Bede, the father of English history (673-735). He says, in all earnestness, in his work on natural history, "De Natura Rerum," that the goose "Barliata" grows on rotten wood by the sea. It hangs by its beak until it falls.Earliest Trace in Jewish Literature.
The earliest trace of this fable in Jewish literature seems to be in the "'Iṭṭur" of Isaac ben Abba Mari of Marseilles (about 1170). The reference is found in a volume of manuscript responsa (Halberstamm,
An anonymous Hebrew translator of the French cosmography called "Image du Monde," who compiled his work in 1245, speaks of geese growing on trees in Ireland and of people with tails in Brittany. He is the first Jewish author to locate the birds on Irish shores. R. Isaac b. Joseph of Corbeil, in his "Sefer Miẓwot ḳaṭan" (
The next reference to the legend is found in the Zohar, now generally assumed to have been written in the middle of the thirteenth century by Moses b. Shem-Ṭob de Leon (1250-1305). He says that R. Aba saw a tree from whose branches geese grew (Zohar iii. 156). Mordecai b. Hillel of Regensburg (about 1300), possibly influenced by the views of various divines who declared against their suitability for food during Lent, hesitates to say whether these birds are to be slaughtered as fowl, or, in view of their peculiar origin, if they may be eaten unslaughtered as fish (Ḥul. 735). Jacob b. Asher (died 1340) follows the view of R. Isaac of Corbeil in his decision. The anonymous compiler of the legal compendium "Kol Bo" (fourteenth century) refers twice to the subject, mentioning the views of R. Isaac and of R. Jehiel b. Jose (of France, 1240?), and concludes that they are forbidden (ed. Venice, 1572, p. 113a-b). Among later authorities who mention the legend are: Jacob b. Moses Molin or Maharil (died 1427), in his responsa, No. 144; Simon b. Ẓemaḥ Duran (died 1444), who, according to a manuscript citation, speaks somewhere of
According to a statement made by Alberuni (about 1000), it seems possible that the story may have originated in the East. He writes: "Aljaiḥani [a contemporary of Alberuni] relates that in the Indian Ocean there are the roots of a tree which spread along the seacoast in the sand; that the leaf is rolled up and gets separated from the tree; and that it then changes into a king-bee, and flies away" (see his "Chronology of Ancient Nations," Eng. transl. by Sachau, p. 214, London, 1879). According to Steinschneider the idea of generatio œquivoca and the Oriental fable of the trees bearing maidens on a mythical island called Wakwak are closely related to the barnacle-geese story. Mas'udi, Ibn Ṭufail, Pseudo-Callisthenes, and others mention this wonder, and reference thereto is made in the "Thousand and One Nights." The maidensof Wak-wak (Mädchenblumen) are known to Jewish writers. Judah Hadassi, the Karaite (about 1148), the anonymous translator of Ibn Ṭufail's work,

Ten Second Review
Not everyone needs an ultimately powerful little hot hatch. High insurance premiums and even higher asking prices can often put paid to shopping rocket dreams. Which is why some makers will sell you a supermini with all the look and feel of a real GTi but none of the drawbacks. Here's Ford's solution, the Fiesta ST-Line.
We've had plenty of really great sporting Ford Fiestas. In fact, the Blue Oval brand's hot hatch legacy around this model goes all the way back to the XR2 of 1981, with a history subsequently embellished by the more powerful RS1800 and RS Turbo models that followed it. Best of all was the hot hatch 1.6-litre Fiesta ST launched in 2013. Unfortunately, in current 1.5-litre EcoBoost form, it costs the best part of £20,000. So what if you could have a sporty Fiesta that looks just the same for not much more than around £16,000? That sounds more like it. It's the recipe delivered by the Fiesta ST-Line. Of course, going the ST-Line route isn't going to get you the kind of power you'd enjoy n a fully fledged ST. If that's not an issue, then potentially, there's plenty to like here.
Driving Experience
Fiesta ST-Line buyers get a choice of four engines. Three of them are variants of the brand's three cylinder 1.0-litre EcoBoost petrol turbo unit, developing either 100, 125 or 140PS. If you really must, there's also a 120PS 1.5-litre TDCi diesel variant too. We'd go for the 100PS petrol variant. Choose one of the other derivatives and you're getting to the point where you might as well have shaken the piggy bank a little further and gone for a fully-fledged ST model. The 1.0-litre variant in contrast seems to give you everything you need without too much of what you don't. Rest to 62mph in the 100PS model takes 10.5s en route to 113mph and working the little powerplant hard delivers a pleasant, buzzy thrum. The 140PS version gets to 62mph in 9.0s on the way to 125mph. Through the bends, the handling should be sharp, thanks to a 10mm lowered chassis and the well-weighted steering and short, crisp gearshift feel we've experienced in other Fiestas. The fact that the suspension is a touch softer than that of the full-fat ST may actually even be of benefit on bumpy roads, where this ST-Line variant is unlikely to crash through tarmac scars quite as much.
Design and Build
At first glance, this ST-Line Fiesta looks just like the potent top ST model - at least in three-door form anyway. You can't get an ST with five doors but that bodystyle is available to ST-Line customers, another potential buying incentive. ST-Line styling specifics include a unique 'ST-Line' upper grille, 'ST-Line' wing badges, a full bodystyling kit, 'Rock Metallic' 17-inch 5x2-spoke alloy wheels and a large body-coloured rear spoiler. Inside, there's sports seats, sports pedals and a flat-bottomed 'ST-Line' steering wheel. Otherwise, it's the usual Fiesta recipe. Up front, there are flush, seamless surfaces, soft-touch plastic coatings and neat splashes of chrome, plus it all seems to have been very well screwed together by the factory in Cologne. Other than that, the first thing you'll probably notice is the infotainment system that now sprouts in free-standing form from the top of the centre console. Rear seat space in the three-door version is better than the claustrophobically rising beltline might lead you to expect. Once you're in the back, the Fiesta surprises with headroom manageable even for a six-footer - though his or her legs will be crushed pretty snugly against the seat in front. There's also a 292-litre boot.
Market and Model
Fiesta ST-Line prices start at just over £16,000 for the 1.0-litre 100PS model, so there's quite a saving over the 1.5-litre full-fat ST hot hatch. Add in the other savings you'll make when it comes to things like running costs and insurance and the ST-Line case starts to add up. Add on around £500 more if you want the pokier 125PS model - and around £500 more if you want the top 140PS variant - though by that time, you'll be needing to find over £17,500 for the five-door model, which isn't really too far off what you'd pay for that fully-fledged ST. The 120PS diesel costs from just under £18,000. Whichever variant you choose, you'll need a premium of around £600 to progress from the three-door to the five-door bodystyle. As for ST-Line equipment, well in addition to the styling add-ons we've mentioned elsewhere, buyers can expect to find features like LED daytime running lights, black headlining, a perimeter alarm, keyless start, manual air conditioning and a 'SYNC 3 infotainment system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen with Emergency Assistance, 'Apple CarPlay' and 'Android Auto' smartphone mirroring functionality and a six-speaker DAB audio system. If you want more, then plusher 'ST-Line X' models ad in a larger 8-inch SYNC touchscreen with navigation, rear privacy glass, LED rear lights, climate control, auto headlamps and wipers and part-leather trim for the seats.
Cost of Ownership
The whole point of choosing an ST-Line Fiesta rather than a sportier ST model is to reduce your costs. Which is broadly what's delivered here. Go for the fastest ST-Line variant, the 1.0-litre EcoBoost 140PS derivative featuring Start and Stop, and the figures are 62.8mpg and 102g/km. The 100 and 125PS versions improve that showing further - to 65.7mpg and 98g/km. And in the 1.5 TDCi diesel variant, you can potentially manage up to 88.3mpg and 89g/km. What else? Well we'll tell you about servicing, which on all engines is required every two years or 18,000 miles - whichever comes first. Two pre-paid servicing plans are available; one that costs £340 and covers you for two years and two services; and another that costs £550, is transferrable to future owners and covers three years and three services. That only leaves depreciation. If you're a prospective customer, then you'll be glad to hear that Fiesta residual values are on the up as both new and used markets respond well to the increase in quality of the latest generation car. Expect to get around 50% of your initial purchase price back after three years - which is basically unheard of for a Fiesta.

The US Food and Drug Administration approved a new drug to shrink breast tumors before surgery. While oncologists sometimes use chemotherapy to treat certain breast cancers before surgery, the new drug -- called Perjeta (pertuzumab) -- was the first to be approved specifically for this purpose in patients with early stage breast cancers that respond to the HER2 protein.
Perjeta was approved last year to treat metastatic HER-2 positive breast cancer, but so far it's only been tested before surgery in those with early breast cancers that haven't spread. In a trial of 417 breast cancer patients who received Perjecta along with a combination of other drugs over two months, 39 percent had their tumor completely disappear before surgery compared to 21 percent who took the standard combination of drugs.
Those promising findings alone were enough to convince the agency to approve Perjeta to use pre-operatively, despite a lack of data showing that women live longer when treated with the new regimen.
"An assumption is being made that improving the percentage of women who have complete tumor shrinkrage before surgery will improve their cure rates, but so far that assumption hasn't held true for other drugs with few exceptions like trastuzumab [Herceptin]," said Dr. Ian Krop, a breast oncologist at the Susan F. Smith Center for Women's Cancers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The FDA is awaiting results from a trial of more than 4,800 breast cancer patients who were treated with Perjeta, Herceptin, and other drugs after surgery to remove their tumors and who are being followed for several years to determine whether they have fewer recurrences and longer survival than those treated with a Herceptin regimen that doesn't include Perjeta. Those results are expected in 2016.
"If we find out Perjecta doesn't increase survival, then it should be taken off market for early stage cancers," said Krop who is helping to conduct the long term trials. "I think this is a good test case for the FDA," he added, since the drug had a significant impact on shrinking tumors before surgery and since it didn't cause dangerous side effects beyond the usual ones from chemotherapy like hair loss, nausea, and immune system suppression.
Perjeta costs about $6000 a dose, and four doses are given before surgery over a period nine weeks.
Positive results from followup studies could also make it easier for other new cancer drugs to be fast-tracked for approval using pre-surgical tumor shrinkage to measure effectiveness.
It took seven years for Herceptin to move from a drug approved only for terminal breast cancer patients to one used in early stage patients with HER2-positive tumors because it was tested in trials that required long-term followup to measure survival benefits. It took Perjeta only one year.

Similar to what it did with Firefox a couple of years ago, the Mozilla Foundation has decided to spin Thunderbird off as a separate subsidiary. The as-of-yet-unnamed subsidiary will be given $3 million in seed funding and the sole task of shepherding Thunderbird's development.
Thunderbird hit the 2.0 milestone earlier this year and is available in over 35 languages on all the major platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. But in contrast to Firefox, which has seen its market share soar since its 1.0 release, Thunderbird has struggled to catch the attention of PC users around the world in the same way that Firefox has. Although Thunderbird is a solid, full-featured client, it faces competition from both free e-mail clients available from Microsoft and Apple as well as from webmail apps.
Mozilla Foundation CEO Mitchell Baker first hinted at her plans for Thunderbird in July. With the announcement, the Foundation hopes to energize Thunderbird development and adoption by giving it its own home within the Foundation. In a post on her blog, Baker says that the seed funding will be used primarily to attract talented people "who are passionate about e-mail and Internet communications."
Baker also lays out some goals for the new company. In addition to servicing the existing Thunderbird user base and improving on the Thunderbird client, she wants the new company to create the same type of development community that currently exists for Firefox. The Thunderbird subsidiary will also be charged with determining if and how Thunderbird should work with other communications technologies such as RSS, VoIP, instant messaging, and SMS.
David Ascher, formerly the CTO and VP of engineering at development tool company ActiveState, has been tapped to lead the Thunderbird subsidiary. Ascher has a long history with Mozilla, having worked on the Mozilla Manifesto and participated in Mozilla Foundation governance discussions.
Giving Thunderbird its own corporation should help raise its profile. Although Firefox and Thunderbird play on the same open-source team, Firefox is given the star quarterback treatment while Thunderbird labors anonymously on the line. Each has its own distinct community with different needs, and little is gained at this point by keeping both projects under the same roof.
If the spin-off results in more development resources devoted specifically to Thunderbird's development as well as the possibility of the application's evolving beyond being a "pure" e-mail client into some of the areas envisioned by Baker, Thunderbird—and its users—will be the big winners.

I've been looking for a minimalist print and originally found this on Amazon as a 5"x7". Not wanting to give money to Amazon, I finally found Noir Gallery's website and this print. They didn't have a 5"x7" option listed, so I figured "f*ck it" and asked customer service if there was any way they had this available in the size I wanted. They responded super quickly and added the size I wanted as an option! Quality is great and I love adding this to my gallery wall.

- Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and normal macronutrient (protein, fat, carbohydrate) metabolism
- When levels of chromium in the body, and therefore glucose tolerance factor (GTF), are too low, the activity of insulin is blocked – blood glucose levels therefore remain elevated
- Diets high in refined carbohydrates are usually low in zinc, so this mineral has been added to our Blood Glucose Support formulation
- Zinc has many roles in the body – of particular relevance here are its roles in contributing to carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis and protecting cells from oxidative stress
- Copper is combined with zinc to prevent a possible risk of copper deficiency during long-term usage as they compete for the same absorption site
- Extracts from the bark of the cinnamon tree have been used traditionally as medicine throughout the world
- This supplement uses pure, real cinnamon with no detectable levels of coumarin
- This supplement also contains selenium and manganese which protect cells from oxidative stress. We have also included molybdenum

TORONTO (AP) Jose Calderon had 18 points, 14 assists, and 10 rebounds and to lead the short-handed Raptors to a 103-96 victory over the Houston Rockets on Sunday, giving the Raptors consecutive wins for the first time in eight long months.
Alan Anderson had 24 points, while DeMar DeRozan added 19 points for the Raptors (6-19), who hadn't won consecutive games since April 13 and 15 of last season.
Ed Davis added 13 points for Toronto.
James Harden scored 28 points for the Rockets (11-12), while Marcus Morris added 19.
The Raptors took a 77-71 lead into the fourth quarter, and stretched their advantage to nine points. But Houston made for some tense moments late in the game, cutting Toronto's lead to four points with a couple of minutes to go.
Former Raptors sharp-shooter Carlos Delfino drained two baskets in the final 1:04 to pull the Rockets to within two points, but Calderon sunk two free throws to put Toronto back up by four.
The teams traded free throws for most of the final minute. Harden, last season's Sixth Man award winner for Oklahoma City, drained a pair, Anderson went to the line to sink two, and then Chandler Parsons missed one of two with 13 seconds left.
Anderson scored on a driving reverse layup with 11 seconds to go to seal the victory for Toronto.
The Rockets have now lost seven straight on the road, a stretch that goes back to Nov. 2. It's their worst road losing streak since they dropped eight straight in 2001.
The Raptors played their third consecutive game without second-and third-leading scorers Andrea Bargnani and Kyle Lowry. Bargnani is out indefinitely with a torn ligament in his right elbow and a strained right wrist, while Lowry has a tear in his right triceps.
Jeremy Lin, who had plenty of fans in the Air Canada Centre crowd cheering him on, was held to just seven points and two assists.
Lin was in the midst of ``Linsanity'' on a previous trip to Toronto last February, draining a three at the buzzer to lead the New York Knicks to a victory over the Raptors.
``If you go on anybody's career and look at it, they're going to have a period where, man, you put up ridiculous numbers,'' Rockets coach Kevin McHale said before the game. ``I think he had one of those periods last year where everybody was, well, jeez, that's what Jeremy Lin is.
``No one in our league is a 27-point, 11-assist guy, even LeBron doesn't do that. He's figuring himself out as a young player, he really is just a young player, this is the first time he's come in and started from training camp on. Jeremy's fine, he's just going to continue to improve.''
NOTES: The Rockets beat Toronto 117-101 last month. . . The Rockets wore a green stripe on their jerseys in memory of McHale's daughter Sasha, who died last month of lupus at the age of 23. Green was her favorite color. . . Raptors rookie Jonas Valanciunas was presented with the Lithuanian player of the year award from Lithuanian legend Arvydas Sabonis before tipoff. . . The Raptors are in Cleveland to face the Cavaliers on Tuesday. They return home to host Detroit on Wednesday and Orlando on Friday.

I was greatly blessed to grasp a better understanding of the issue of head coverings by reading "May Women Speak in Church?" where James W. Scott in New Horizons January 1996 explains that 1 Corinthians chapter 11 is "best understood as regulating the circumstances for delivering inspired speech in church ..." as in speaking in tongues. I also see that Matthew Henry's Commentary supports head coverings to be worn by women, "who under inspiration, prayed and prophesied." Since speaking in tongues and praying or prophesying as an inspired utterance no longer occur, does this negate the head coverings? Can you refer me to any other resources that support this meaning? How can we know that women do not need to wear head coverings today?
Thank you in advance for your response!
I remember the discussions in the January 1996 New Horizons. Unless you return with questions covering that disagreement between Mr. Scott and Dr. Richard Gaffin (I believe he was on the other side of the disagreement), I'll just deal with your question as to the OPC understanding of 1 Corinthians 11:1-16.
I'll speak first to the obvious understanding of those words as far as women coming into worship with or without their heads covered. Then I'll attempt to give a biblical justification for the present practice.
I well remember that, in my childhood (going back to—and even before—the 1920s), women (and girls as well) invariably wore hats or other head coverings in church services. I don't remember that the reason given was because of the Scripture before us, but I assume that was the reason. I can remember as late as the 1950's one minister of the OPC (not then a pastor) said that if he, as a pastor, met a woman entering his congregation without a head covering, he would suggest that she return home and get one. But even by then, the practice was being abandoned, and by the 1960s it was gone altogether. I do recall one OPC which strictly required female head covering in worship. There may be others, though I don't know if even that congregation has continued the practice. But is that, as far as the OPC goes, an abandonment of following a Scriptural requirement?
The teaching of 1 Corinthians 11:1-16 has not been abandoned. For example, because we are a biblical church, we hold to male headship in the home and the church. And that is what the Apostle is teaching in this passage. It is that there is subordination in rule of the woman to the man in both church and family. The lack of covering on the part of the man and the need for covering for women was the sign of this subordination. God is Head (with no one between) of the man, therefore no covering. Woman is subject to the authority of man, therefore the head covering.
As a matter of fact, the OPC does not ordain women elders or ministers. This prohibition is clearly taught in 1 Timothy 2:12-15. And the reasons given by Paul for that strong prohibition are that man (Adam) was first created, then woman (Eve) out of man's substance (Genesis 2:18-22). And the woman was first in sin, then the man (Genesis 3:1-6). These differences are grounded in creation and in the fall, being fundamental as to the nature of mankind and the need for redemption.
But Paul does not so ground his admonition with regard to head covering in worship in the Corinthian passage. It is true that the reason for male rule and authority are similarly grounded in verse 9. Adam was made ruler of the Garden or Eden. Eve was created as his suitable helper (Genesis 2:9). And, by way of digression, the man shares his headship in the home with his wife: "Honor your father and your mother ...." Nor does this distinction of headship demean the women. 1 Corinthians 11:11-12 says, "Nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman nor woman independent of man, in the Lord. For as woman came from man, so also man comes from woman; but all things are from God."
So all this is the official doctrine of the OPC because that's what the Bible teaches; and our doctrinal standards agree. Then why do we not continue the earlier practice of head covering in worship? Because head covering doesn't "say" the same thing in Paul's day that it does today. A harlot was recognizable in New Testament times by the way she dressed, but especially by what she didn't do with her hair. To let it loose and fall down was the sign of brazen independence then. Covering, on the other hand, was a sign of submission to her place in Christian society.
In verses 13 & 14, Paul says, "Judge among yourselves. Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?" Paul was appealing to custom or culture to make his point. He says as much in verse 16: "But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God."
Now I still don't like a man wearing long hair. Yet I don't judge him for doing so any more than I judge a woman for having her hair cut short. But customs have changed! Nor does the apostle appeal to creation or the fall to make his point.
Some serious interpreters equate the "covering" required by the passage as woman's long hair versus man's short hair. That puts a different interpretation on the whole matter. Also the passage before us refers to prophesying and praying with heads covered (women) and uncovered (men). So what you remark on at the beginning of your question may narrow this passage even to the exercise of then legitimate prophesying and speaking in tongues. And, as you say, these are no longer in the church; they were temporary gifts that ceased with the end of the apostolic era.
Yet prayer is still an important part of public worship. And women do not lead in public prayer in our worship services, though many invite both men and women to take part in prayer sessions during informal services.
All of this adds up to minor differences of opinion between sister congregations on these issues. And there I will leave it. I hope I have answered your question satisfactorily. Please feel free to return with further questions.
"Questions and Answers" is a weekly feature of the OPC website. The answers come from individual ministers in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church expressing their own convictions and do not necessarily represent an "official" position of the Church, especially in areas where the Standards of the Church (the Scriptures and the Westminster Confession of Faith and Catechisms) are silent.
The questions come from individuals like yourself. If you have questions about biblical and theological matters, you are invited to send them by e-mail by using the "Pose a Question" link on the OPC home page or by clicking here.
At least one new question is posted each week, so there should always be something new here for you to read. (For those people who would like to look at previous questions and answers, they will continue to be available as well.)
The purpose of the OPC website's "Questions and Answers" is to respond to biblical and theological questions. Matters of church discipline, disputes, or debates go beyond the scope of our work. We recommend that you present your concerns in these areas to the appropriate judicatory. In most cases this will be to a local pastor, elder, or session. We do not want the website to replace personal involvement in, or commitment to, the local, visible church.
While we will respond to every serious questioner, we are not bound to give a substantive answer to every question, should we deem the question to be beyond the scope of our purpose or our own ability to answer.
You will receive an answer by e-mail. Please be patient as many of our respondents are busy pastors. The response to your question may take up to two (2) weeks. Some of the questions submitted will be chosen to be posted here, along with the corresponding answers.
Note that the "Questions and Answers" posted on the site have been editedall personal references are removed, Scripture references or from some source may be added, and sometimes portions are expandedto make the questions and answers more useful to a larger audience.

I am a huge fan of old hardware because it's vintage that has a modern aesthetic. The store is hardware overload with boxes and shelves filled with multiples of enamelware light fixtures, porcelain switches, metal letterpress, wood spools, and more.
The shop showcases the inventory beautifully and it's so much fun to find things I have never seen before. The inventory comes from leftover stock from old hardware factories, so none of it has ever been used.
Tombees du Camion is located at Marche Vernaison, Allee 5, Stand 92. Metro: Porte de Clignancourt. Open Saturday through Monday from 10 AM to 6 PM. There are also two additional locations.
The market itself is worth exploring, so try to get there early. Vernaison is filled with tiny antiques shops that specialize in a variety of antiques. So, there is something for everyone.

The new cruise destination for 2019
The historic port of Whitby will be opening its harbour gates as an international cruise destination to welcome visitors from all over the world from 2019
Whitby harbour has been working successfully with cruise vessels for many years, and can offer:
• A friendly, dedicated team to help your cruise go as smoothly as possible
• Very competitive fees
• Landing facility and linkspan in the centre of the town
• Adjacent coach parking and taxi hire
• Disabled-friendly, enhanced access pontoon
• Predominantly sheltered anchorage
• Short tender transfer with panoramic historic views
• Ability to handle two large tenders in tandem or a multitude of Zodiacs
• Coach or car hire is easy to arrange locally
The Port of Whitby is just one hour by road to Durham Tees Valley International Airport for the transfer of
crew and stores and is the gateway to Yorkshire and the north of England.
For more information about Whitby's port and ship services, please contact Captain Chris Burrows at Whitby & Scarborough Harbours Office on 01723 373530 / 01947 602354, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
To find out more, call our friendly tourism team on 01723 383636
Whitby is an ancient town, set amidst some of England's most breath-taking coastal scenery.
The old harbour shelters beneath the haunting, cliff-top ruins of world-famous Whitby Abbey, one of England's holiest places and the 'birthplace of horror'.
For centuries, Whitby has been home to sea-faring adventurers, including the world's greatest explorer Captain Cook, and the town is still one of the top fishing ports on the coast, with some of the north's best seafood restaurants. Whitby is also internationally celebrated for its unique jewellery, handcrafting precious jet and amber in its 150 year old workshops.
A Gateway to Yorkshire
Whitby is an easy gateway to Yorkshire's premier attractions: the magnificent and historic landscapes of the
Yorkshire Coast and North York Moors; Britain's finest stately home, Castle Howard; steam-train journeys on
the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, star of 'Harry Potter'; the 'Dinosaur Coast', a magnet for fossil-hunters;
England's best beaches for water-sports; major festivals of music, culture and sport, and much, much more!
World Class Cruise Destination
Whitby has been welcoming ships from across the world for over 250 years. It is one of England's most
historic and picturesque ports, but also one of the friendliest: cruise ships can anchor close to Whitby's
piers, so the journey for passengers from ship to shore is very quick. Once on shore, the town and its
attractions – and also a coach park – are just a few steps from the harbour.
• Wander Whitby's maze of historic streets with its quaint pubs and shops, and climb the 199 steps for
stunning views over Whitby's old fishing harbour, or hunt for fossils on the beach. Along the way, taste local specialities including traditional Yorkshire cakes and biscuits, and fish & chips – the best in Britain!
• Visit one of the North of England's most iconic landmarks: 1500 year-old Whitby Abbey is the burial place of ancient kings and saints, and a site of holy miracles, but those haunting ruins are also known as the birthplace of Dracula.
• See one of the world's rarest and most treasured gemstones, Whitby Jet, handcrafted into exquisite jewellery in Whitby's world-famous, traditional workshops. As the favourite jewel of Queen Victoria, jet has been exclusively worked in the town for over 150 years, and you can explore this unique heritage in local museums, and marvel at the world's largest piece of jet, 21-feet long!
• Join Whitby's friendly surf school to experience one of the country's best beaches for water-sports. Play golf at Whitby's friendly 125 year-old club, popular for its vast coastal panoramas.
• Lace up your boots for a walk along magnificent cliff-top footpaths – you might even spot a whale, dolphin or seal out at sea. Or join the 'Baron' for a costumed history walking tour to Whitby's secret spots.
• Explore the life of the world's greatest explorer in the award-winning Captain Cook Memorial Museum, or take a cruise on a thrilling replica of Cook's tall ship, the Endeavour.
• Time your visit to enjoy one of Whitby's major festivals, including Whitby Regatta – one of England's oldest boat races, or the world-famous Goth Weekend, with live music and bizarre bazaars.

"It's kind of bittersweet," she said Friday. "We're celebrating and trying to look forward, but it's still tough. We have quite a ways to move forward yet."
Green was one of more than 1,000 people who turned out to mark the anniversary of what's believed to be the costliest natural disaster in Canadian history — the flooding that hit southern Alberta in June 2013.
A year later, the barbershop Green runs downtown remains dark. She has had to relocate to a temporary business park.
"My business is being rebuilt. We lost our home and I grew up here. It's hard to watch our town go through this, but it's nice to see everybody come out and be happy," she said with a smile. "It's so nice the sun is shining."
Ralph Keith, who has lived in High River for 35 years, said the town needs to look toward the future.
"High River's a special place. It has special people. We want to rebuild this town to how it was and make it even better," he said. "This is our town."
High River Mayor Craig Snodgrass paid tribute to emergency workers and other communities that helped his town during the flood. He asked for a moment of silence to honour four people who drowned and a fifth who was killed in an ATV accident while helping a neighbour sandbag.
He told reporters it was an emotional day.
"There's been a lot go on in this town and the emotions come from just watching the people of this community step together and it's been absolutely unbelievable," he said. "If you're not emotional, I don't think you're paying attention."
Ceremonies were held in a number of the 30 different communities hit by the flood.
In Calgary, where tens of thousands had to flee their homes for higher ground, Mayor Naheed Nenshi said his strongest memory is of everyone pulling together.
"Sometimes people say to me how can we celebrate such a bad thing?" he told the public gathered at the municipal building. "What we're celebrating is those hands. We're celebrating who we are. We're celebrating what we do. We're celebrating the resiliency of our community."
Nenshi's face was everywhere in his city at the height of the flood. He worked for 43 straight hours without sleep: tweeting, imploring, directing, assisting, cheering on and cheering up his citizens who saw homes ruined and possessions literally float away.
He said he still remembers a sign he saw outside one home after the flood.
"And that message is the one thing that I will never, ever forget about 2013. The message was we lost some stuff; we gained a community."
He unveiled a plaque and a pair of bronzed rubber boots that will sit in the municipal building's atrium as a permanent reminder of what the city faced.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his wife, Laureen, appeared by video in Calgary.
"Laureen and I will always remember the summer of 2013," Harper said. "Not because of the height of the floodwaters, but because of the strength of the people here and the generosity of all Canadians."
There were flashbacks in southern Alberta this week as heavy rain pounded areas south of Calgary and rivers swelled again.
About 500 homes were flooded — some of the same ones that were hit in 2013.
Green said the threat brought everything back.
"The stress level here is really high," she said.
But the High River mayor said it will get better over time.
"It is still raw today," Snodgrass told the crowd. "But in the years to come we will no longer fear June, but will put up our feet and enjoy it."

Fans of Japanese developer Gust's long-lived series of alchemy-based Atelier role-playing games are a little miffed with Tecmo Koei. First the latest PlayStation 3 installment of the game — Atelier Ayesha: The Alchemist of Dusk — hit store shelves earlier this month to very little fanfare. Then the PlayStation Vita port of Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland came out earlier this week with absolutely none. What is going on?
This is a series I've been following religiously since Atelier Iris: Eternal Mana for the PlayStation 2. Up until recently the series had been handled in North America by NIS America, whose marketing and PR team work their asses off making sure fans were foaming at the mouth for each new installment. In fact, the only reason I knew Atelier Ayesha was coming was because NISA helped spread the word.
Series developer Gust became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tecmo Koei in late 2011. Reportedly the publisher intended to make social games based on the Atelier property. Social games aren't exactly thriving at the moment, so Tecmo Koei is left to publish the console and handheld titles.
These latest titles haven't been launched so much as they've been gently pushed in the direction of fans. RPGFan's John McCarroll posted an excellent editorial neatly demonstrating the insulting lack of dedication Tecmo Koei has shown to the series.
This is incredibly frustrating, not only for fans, but for writers alike. For someone like me, who is supposed to be on the ball about what RPGs are coming out, when they're coming out, and who's publishing them, finding out that a game has launched from a random person on Twitter is a bit of a shock. While we've certainly seen games from smaller publishers announced without notifying the press — UFO's Elminage Original springs to mind — at least Elminage had a press release featuring a launch trailer when it actually hit PSN.
I reached out to Tecmo Koei for comment on the stealth release. First I contacted the PR person that had half-heartedly communicated with me about Ayesha — NIS did all the heavy lifting there — only to find he no longer worked for the company. So I contacted the generic PR email listed in the auto-responder instead. The response I received led with a joke.
"New tactic to get the community involved and talking about the game." Well that certainly worked.
"Seriously, we're working towards providing better support and representation for our newly acquired Gust titles."
The best way to do that? I'm with McCarroll on this one. Give the series back to NIS America to publish. They know the fans, they know the series, and they aren't afraid to send out several thousand emails to get those points across.

DOVER — This year's Apple Harvest Day might have been the largest turnout since the event began 28 years ago — and we can thank Mother Nature for that.
"We always shoot for 25,000 or 30,000 people," said Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce Community Events Manager Michael Mengers.
Mengers said they are unable to count exactly how many people were present at the festival along Central Avenue on Saturday, but he said they are fairly confident numbers were close to double what they have been in past years.
"One of the best things was the unexpected turnout in the crowd," said Mengers. "It was Columbus Day weekend and that really helped us out. A lot of organizations didn't want to compete with the holiday. It was a long weekend and people were looking for something to do. We saw people from Portsmouth, Rochester, Maine and Massachusetts."
Mengers and Executive Director of the Dover Children's Home Donna Coraluzzo, who is on the Board of Directors for the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce and has been on the Apple Harvest Day committee for four years, both agreed the weather could be why so many people came out to the Seacoast's premier fall festival.
"There was something magical about this year," said Coraluzzo. "The weather wasn't as questionable as most years."
"This year, it was way busier earlier in the morning than I could ever have expected. It was like 10 o'clock, when people are usually just trickling in, and the streets were just completely packed," he said. "I think that was because people were coming out early thinking the rain was going to come."
But, the rain never came and Central Avenue was full for the entire day, Mengers said, commenting that the rain didn't hit Dover until 4:17, leaving everyone at the festival dry.
Coraluzzo said she also noticed the bustling crowd in the morning. She said she left Henry Law Park around 11 a.m. to peruse Central Avenue. She looked up the street and saw a wave of thousands of people working their way down Central Avenue.
"I ran right back down to the park," she said.
The large crowd was impressed with this year's festival.
"There was no negative feedback," Coraluzzo said. "All good moods, all smiles. There were just so many opportunities and activities for everyone."
Mengers said the new features to this year's event were a hit and classics, such as WOKQ's Apple Pie contest, which has been at the festival for 27 years, had more participants than ever.
"One gentlemen, in particular, came up to me and said, 'You know, every year we come to Apple Harvest Day and we usually spend about an hour here.' This year, he said he had already been there for two and a half hours and hadn't even made it down to Henry Law Park yet," Mengers said.
The Mallet Brothers, who opened for country music star Jason Aldean this summer, played on the Bernson Legal Stage. Mengers said they also drew in a large crowd.
"I think the Mallet Brothers may be the first band that people came to Apple Harvest Day specifically to see," he said. "They were their own attraction."
King Tut's from Eliot, Maine, ended up selling out of apple cider by 1 p.m., Mengers said. "Vendors had a lot of success."
"Many food vendors told me that they had never made as much money in one day as they did at Apple Harvest Day this year," said Coraluzzo. "They said they also had never felt so welcome as they do in Dover. They said they were all taken care of and thanked for being there all day."
"For me, it's always great when it doesn't rain," Coraluzzo said. "But the day was also just good because it spurs people to go out and look for all these local businesses and keep dollars in our community."
"Whenever we put an event on, we don't just do it, we do it well," Coraluzzo said.

To become more environmentally friendly, government buildings, especially at the state level, are adding green roofs to their arsenal of weapons against climate change. A normal roof is a pretty hot place, baked by sunlight and assaulted by weather. A standard roof can cause HVAC units to run harder, sucking in more power, and contribute greatly to the overall heating of cities.
Why not add a well-maintained green space up there to reduce those costs, cool things down a bit, add more oxygen to the urban environment and even some advanced functions like collecting rain water for use in grey water applications?
The problem is that such a verdant environment requires maintenance, especially at first when the rooftop plants are trying to become established. The obvious solution is to hire a hobo to sit up there and monitor things.
Well, OK, not a real hobo. Instead of that, the new HOBO Green Roof Monitoring System from Onset Computer Corp. might be a safer bet. It's a rugged set of instruments that's based on a 15-channel system that can monitor everything from temperature, storm water runoff, irrigation scheduling, light intensity, rainfall, soil moisture, relative humidity, wind speed and overall vegetation health.
It provides constant access via the Web to rooftop data through the use of a HOBO U30 GSM-cellular data logger. Data display can be configured for use in dedicated kiosks to facilitate monitoring and ensure that the somewhat large initial investment in a green roof is protected so that it can earn its keep over time.
Onset is a leading supplier of data loggers. The company's HOBO data logger and weather station products are used around the world in a broad range of applications, including building energy performance monitoring, water resources management, and ecological and agricultural research.

LEADING OFF: Dodgers await wait on Jansen, Arenado ailing
A look at what's happening around the majors today:
The Dodgers are still waiting for definitive word on how long closer Kenley Jansen might be out because of an irregular heartbeat. He was put on the 10-day disabled list Friday and manager Dave Roberts wasn't sure if his absence would be 10 days or possibly even closer to a month — like it was when the right-hander went on the DL for the same thing seven years ago.
"I'm hoping as soon as I can to get something, just for my peace of mind, the guys on the field — our peace of mind," Roberts said. "His health is most important. Whatever they have to do, the doctors have to do, to protect him."
The 30-year-old Jansen was tied for the NL lead with 32 saves. In his absence, Roberts will use a closer-by-committee approach.
The Rockies will see how star third baseman Nolan Arenado is feeling, a day after his early exit during a 5-4 win over the Dodgers at Coors Field. The Gold Glover has been bothered by a sore shoulder for a week and tweaked it while turning a double play in the third inning. He was covering second base on a play that was scored 3-5-3.
"After it, I had trouble throwing," he said. "It hurt too much to let it fly after that."
J.D. Martinez has become the first major leaguer this season to top the century mark in RBIs — the Boston bopper is at 101 after driving in two more Friday night at Baltimore.
Martinez set a career high with 104 RBIs last year while playing for Detroit and Arizona. The AL East-leading Red Sox have 45 games left for him to keep piling up the total.
After beating Astros aces Justin Verlander and Gerrit Cole on consecutive nights, the Seattle Mariners try to keep up their run at Minute Maid Park. Next, they'll face Charlie Morton (12-2, 2.81 ERA). Wade LeBlanc (6-2, 3.81) starts for Seattle, which trails Houston by six games in the AL West.
Ronald Guzman has been a one-man wrecking crew against the Yankees this season. The Texas rookie has hit six home runs in 15 at-bats vs. New York — and only six more in 263 at-bats against everyone else. The 23-year-old Guzman homered three times Friday night in the Bronx, making him the first rookie to hit three in a game against the Yankees.
Cedric Mullins became the first Baltimore player to get three hits in his major league debut, also scoring three runs and driving in a pair during a 19-12 loss Friday night to Boston. The 23-year-old Mullins doubled twice while batting ninth and playing center field.
All-Star Adam Jones has played center field since his arrival at Camden Yards in 2008. But the 33-year-old will finish the season in right field as the last-place Orioles look to next season and beyond. "This is about the future going forward," manager Buck Showalter said.
Blue Jays right-hander Sam Gaviglio is 0-4 in 13 starts since winning in late May at Philadelphia. He hopes to end that skid when he pitches at home against Tampa Bay.

Amazon Web Services Meets Government Cloud (Thanks to DLT)
Amazon Web Services (NASDAQ: AMZN) and AWS GovCloud (US) Region may get another boost in the government cloud market. The reason: DLT Solutions, a government VAR, has added AWS to its GSA IT Schedule 70 (GS-35F-4543G), NIH ECS III, NCPA,and other agency-specific contracts.
How will the government potentially benefit? DLT Solutions offered this rather dramatic statement:
"Through these contracts, federal, state, local and tribal government entities now have fast and cost effective means to procure secure and reliable cloud-ready AWS solutions, thus enabling them to instantly spin-up hundreds or thousands of servers and storage in minutes, reducing delivery time to constituents."
Most major public cloud providers and SaaS companies now offer government-centric solutions. The Microsoft Office 365 and Google Apps battle has been particularly intense in the government market.
Amazon also is working hard in the cloud market. For instance, AWS GovCloud (US) Region is designed to allow US government agencies and customers to move more sensitive workloads into the cloud by addressing their specific regulatory and compliance requirements.
DLT Solutions notes:
"The AWS GovCloud Region framework adheres to International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) requirements, providing a cloud option to customers who have the specific requirement that their systems and data be only accessed by U.S. persons."
DLT is no stranger to the government market. For more than 20 years, the company has served federal, state, local government and education customers.
Amazon is part of our Talkin' Cloud Stocks Index.

For states struggling with the burgeoning costs of Medicaid, neither of the 2 likely postelection scenarios is attractive. If Obama is reelected, the Medicaid elements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) survive the Supreme Court, and Republicans can't turn back the legislation, an estimated 16 million more Americans will be added to the federal-state program. True, the debt-ridden federal government will cover the additional costs for the first 10 years, but after that the states will face an avalanche of new costs.
On the other hand, congressional Republicans, along with candidate Romney, want to turn Medicaid into a block grant to the states with greater flexibility for state houses to modify the program. That's a step in the right direction, but it still fails to address Medicaid's inherent weaknesses. Medicaid's underlying problem is that it tries to address different populations with quite different needs and doesn't serve any of them well. It's time to break up the program and start over.
Medicaid now pays for hospital and physician services to certain households (primarily those with dependent children) headed by an able-bodied but low-income adult, and the ACA sharply increases the number of eligible households by allowing a higher income threshold. But Medicaid also provides services for lower-income disabled Americans who do not qualify for Medicare. And it also pays for nursing home services for elderly low-income individuals.
Revamping Medicaid
Rather than a single federal-state program for 3 quite different groups, it would make more sense to transfer the disabled and elderly into a revamped Medicaid program that is run by the states with a federal allotment or block grant and much greater state flexibility. Because health care services for these US patients need to be integrated with a range of government and community-based services at the local level, it makes much more sense for those to be organized at the state and local levels without a plethora of federal rules.
For elderly and disabled individuals, however, the federal role is not to just write a check to the state and wave goodbye. Unlike a "pure" block grant, the right approach for this part of Medicaid would be to combine state flexibility and innovation with federal policies to expand personal freedom, choice, and dignity. Welfare reform in the 1990s combined flexibility with principles based on American values, specifically work requirements for benefits and the goal of independence rather than perpetual welfare. Likewise, Medicaid reform needs to go beyond block grants.
The federal policy role should be 2-fold. First, it should establish general objectives and measurable outcomes for the states—but not micromanage how states seek to achieve results. And second, it should explicitly provide greater choice and empowerment for beneficiaries, encouraging states through additional waivers where necessary to pursue approaches like the Cash & Counseling program for disabled Americans, or the "urban village" movement for the elderly, each of which makes it easier for people to remain in their own homes while reducing program costs.
Households headed by an able-bodied working-age adult require a different approach. Here the need is for regular private health insurance coverage, not Medicaid. So rather than continuing or expanding Medicaid for these Americans, they should be mainstreamed out of government-organized Medicaid and into a system of premium support, where households receive financial assistance to offset part or almost all the cost of private coverage. Instead of low-income working-age households in 1 system (Medicaid) and moderate- and upper-income households in another (private coverage), we can and should have a seamless system for both.
Achieving Medicaid Reform
Two elements are needed to achieve this reform. The first is to phase down and eventually eliminate the tax exclusion for employer-provided insurance, which is a boon to the affluent in high tax brackets but of little help to working households with low incomes, and replace it with a tax credit for people to buy health coverage—in effect, premium support. Some version of that reform has been embraced by many Republicans, such as Sen Tom Coburn (R, Okla) and Rep Paul Ryan (R, Wis), and over the years has been supported by many health analysts aligned with each party. Regrettably, some Republicans continue to embrace the idea of a health insurance deduction for all. It is not clear exactly where Romney will come down on this. But the problem with a deduction is that it would provide little or no help to lower-income households. A credit would give far more help to lower-paid households.
The second element is to "cash out" the federal portion of Medicaid for households with nondisabled working-age adults and their children and turn it into income-adjusted premium support for households that do not pay taxes and thus could not claim a tax credit. Some modest-income working households would be eligible for a small tax credit "topped up" with some premium support assistance. If they chose, states could decide to supplement this assistance.
Medicaid is a classic example of ill-considered mission creep. The program tries to help Americans who are very different in their needs. And its strongest advocates seem to be determined to expand it in all directions, despite its chronic financial and structural problems. It's time for a serious Medicaid makeover.

Bimbo Coles was drafted by the Kings in the second round of the 1990 draft but before ever playing for Sacramento was shipped to Miami for Rory Sparrow. He'd play with the Heat for his first 5.5 seasons, and actually put up over 10 ppg for three of those campaigns. Since the Heat were such a young franchise, Coles would actually set the Miami Franchise record for assists while he was there. There's a better chance of Kendrick Perkins making two consecutive free throws five straight times then of this record still being held.
In March of 2003, he'd sign on with the Celtics for their stretch-run. He was part of the trio of veterans who all went to the Celtics that season. But I'm not talking veterans in the mold of Sam Cassell, Stephon Marbury or Michael Finley. The three were Mark Bryant, Grant Long and Coles. Not sure if they thought they'd realistically have a shot to win it all. (Do you think they all got together like Wade, Bosh and LeBron and said 'let's go get this championship with the Celts' ?) Bimbo would play in 14 regular season games for the Celtics that year and 3 playoff games. He averaged 3.7 ppg in 12.5 minutes during the regular season and in the playoffs, he didn't score in the 10 minutes he played during the three games. Amazingly enough, those 3 playoff games with the Celtics were 3 of 11 total playoff games he ever played. He went a decade between being in the playoffs, since his last appearance was in 1994 with the Heat.
Now the good stuff on Bimbo. First off you're probably wondering how did he get this nickname? His cousin really enjoyed the country song "Bimbo" by Faron Young, and affectionately gave it to him. Now have you ever heard the song "Bimbo" by Faron Young? I doubt it. Unfortunately, youtube took down the Faron version, but here is Jim Reeves doing his rendition
This is bizarre to me. How did that nickname stick?
A few more interesting things about Bimbo. First the name Vernell- I never heard of such a name but with Vernon Maxwell and Vern Fleming it proved there could be 3 variations of the name Vern. However no one knows him by that name, simply Bimbo. Secondly he was actually drafted in the 1990 MLB draft by the California Angels (he sort of reminded me of Luis Polonia a bit, no?) Lastly he's the second WTHHT star who is known better by his nickname of Bimbo (first was Blue Edwards). Of course if Dontae' Jones had his way, we'd all know him as Mr 615.
Today Bimbo is the fitness director at Greenbrier Physical Therapy & Fitness in Lewisburg, West Virgina. Not surprisingly in his description it states:
"He was utilized primarily as a backup point guard."Now what it should've said was:
"He should have been utilized primarily as a backup point guard but because of David Stern's lust for money and expansion, was forced to start 42% of the games he played."

Brawley High to wrestle in honor of fallen classmate
BRAWLEY, Calif. — Just days after the loss of a fellow classmate, the Brawley High wrestling team returns to the mat Wednesday night. The Wildcats host Imperial in a dual meet at 6 p.m.
All proceeds from the meet will go to the family of Martin Garza, a Brawley student who was fatally stabbed over the weekend.
Around 2 a.m. Sunday, the El Centro Police Department responded to reports of a stabbing near Seventh Street and Commercial Avenue in El Centro. Garza was found in an alley near Commercial Avenue with multiple stab wounds. He was transported to El Centro Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead.
The Wildcats football and basketball player was 17.
"He was an awesome kid," Brawley athletic director Billy Brewer said. "One of the most outgoing people, loved everybody. He was a very ethical, moral kid.
"He was a very good athlete, but it went far beyond athletics. We're gonna miss him for he was. A model kid all the way around."
According to an El Centro police release, Martin Gabriel Andrade, 19, of El Centro, was arrested Monday night in connection with the stabbing.
More than 1,000 people attended a candlelight vigil in memory of Garza at Warne Field in Brawley on Monday night.
"I's been very tough the way this all came down," Brewer said. "But he's got a very strong family, a very supportive family and a strong community behind them."
A barbecue fundraiser will be held at noon Saturday at Hidalgo Hall in Brawley. Barbecue plates are $6, with all proceeds going to the Garza family.
Admission to Wednesday's meet is $4, but if attendees pay $6, it will include admission to the meet and a barbecue plate at Saturday's fundraiser.
The Brawley wrestling team has won 18 consecutive Imperial Valley League titles and 12 straight CIF San Diego Section championships.

Ron de Jeremy Rum: Celebrity-label Booze Takes a Weird Turn
Weekly insight into the world of drinks with Paul Clarke from the Cocktail Chronicles and Imbibe magazine.
Just in case years of entertainment-industry headlines and reality television have left any doubt, let's state it up front: many celebrities are quite fond of their booze. Increasingly, high-profile personalities have been formalizing this liquor/stardom arrangement by using their image, name and fame-slash-notoriety to sell spirits or even launch brands of their own.
It doesn't take much searching to find supermarket-tabloid names in the liquor aisle. Mogul and possible presidential candidate Donald Trump long ago tagged his name on the gaudy gold bottles of Trump Vodka ("Success Distilled"); more recently, Bruce Willis obtained a small ownership share in Belvedere in return for marketing of their Sobieski brand of vodka; Belvedere also recruited Usher as a global ambassador, hoping to emulate the success found by Ciroc vodka after the latter hired P. Diddy as its public face; and actor Dan Aykroyd made a stir in vodka circles last year with the introduction of his Crystal Head Vodka, sold in glass bottles shaped as skulls.
Beyond vodka, Willie Nelson dug into his back catalog and hung an old song title on the label of Old Whiskey River Bourbon; Danny DeVito took inspiration from his drunken near-disaster on The View and launched his own brand of limoncello liqueur; and rappers and hiphop artists from Ludacris to Snoop Dogg to Flavor Flav have partnered with cognac producers for special bottlings and brands, including a deal between Jay-Z and Remy Martin for a cognac selling for $3,000 a bottle.
The intersection between liquor and stardom gets more interesting when the entertainer takes a hands-on approach to the product and comes up with a spirit that's not only star-branded, but worthwhile on its own merits. For the unfortunately named Mansinthe, Marilyn Manson not only painted the label artwork but reportedly helped settle on the recipe for the classic French-styled and not-at-all bad brand of absinthe. While Jimmy Buffet is seemingly content selling green-tinted slushies at his Margaritaville chain of restaurants, Sammy Hagar invested in a tequila distillery, and the Cabo Wabo brand he founded (and later sold) may have a name that makes me feel silly to say in a bar, but the pure-agave tequila in the bottle is no joke.
This spring sees the entry of the latest entry into the celebrity-liquor market, and possibly the one with most questionable taste: Ron de Jeremy, a premium brand of aged Panamanian rum introduced by (and named for) hirsute adult-film star Ron Jeremy. Introduced by One-Eyed Spirits (don't think about the name too much), Ron de Jeremy is being sold with a marketing campaign long on the double entendre: the flavor is described as "long and smooth" and the website features "Drinkxxx by Ron," and even the obligatory "drink responsibly" tag is finished with "never do anything Ron wouldn't do"—which, when you consider that Jeremy holds the current world record for the most appearances in adult films, starting with "Coed Teasers" in 1983, is a warning that leaves plenty of room for rum-fueled leeway.
I'd be happy to lavish the same couldn't-care-less attention on Ron de Jeremy that I've previously reserved for celebrity vodkas and the like, but it's not quite that easy, primarily because the rum is not too bad. Distilled in Panama by Francisco Fernandez—whose past credits include distilling rum for Havana Club and Ron Abuelo, as well as producing the intensely delicious Zafra—the rum may have an unusual public patron, but its pedigree is worthy.
And the rum itself? As I said, it's not too bad—but that's not the same as saying it's good. Ron de Jeremy has a mildly funky, somewhat musty, brown-sugary aroma not unlike that of other Central American rums, and the spirit is medium-bodied and lightly sweet, with a grassy, lean flavor and an abrupt finish. As a sipping rum, you can easily do better, but as a mixing rum, Ron de Jeremy could have its place, which could give it a life span longer than other celebrity-endorsed, flash-in-the-pan spirits.
Does a spirit with a famous (or infamous) name attached to it catch your attention when shopping for a spirit? And are you more or less likely to try a rum or vodka if it comes with this kind of support or endorsement?

Pa. School Board Says Transgender Student Can't Run For Homecoming King
The Richland School Board didn't rule on Kasey Caron's request Monday night, but simply let stand an earlier decision by school administrators, which leaves the 17-year-old senior on the ballot for homecoming queen.
"No formal action is required due to the board agreeing with the previous decision of the administration," board Solicitor Timothy Leventry said, reading from a statement.
The student's mother, Kathy Caron, said she was disappointed by the board's action.
"My heart sunk a little," Kasey said.
Kasey's driver's license has been switched from female to male, but Leventry has previously said that Pennsylvania law requires a person born female to have a physician certify a sex-change operation and have the birth certificate changed to legally be considered male.
Kasey was diagnosed at a young age with polycystic ovary syndrome. Among other things, it can cause females to produce higher-than-normal levels of male hormones, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Office on Women's Health.
Kathy Caron also read a statement asking the school board to consider three other issues: allowing Kasey to wear the same color cap and gown as male students at graduation; adding gender identity protections to the district's anti-bullying policy; and creating a gay-straight alliance at the high school.
Board president Michael Bodolosky said the panel would take those issues under advisement.
"I expected it to be a little more of a discussion rather than flat out telling me they're going to take their own time," Kasey said. "I guess I'm going to have to wait."
The dispute is similar to one earlier this year in the Red Lion Area School District in central Pennsylvania, where a transgender student asked to be identified by a male name at graduation. That student was allowed to wear a boy's-style black graduation gown, but school officials issued a diploma in the student's female birth name and announced the female name at commencement because the diploma is a legal document.
Kathy Caron said friends and family will continue to support Kasey.
"I love my son, and my son is the most awesome," she said. "I couldn't ask for anything better."
