Hey BOSOX this is funny you have to cheer for the kid today ROTFLOL.
Jordan will you be keeping this blog open all winter.
anybody out there gsumner I hope Burnetts family is ok.
The blog will go year-round. So, I'll be blogging from the playoffs (wherever I end up going) and then throughout the winter as I deem updates necessary. So don't disappear when the Jays do.
Thank you Jordan.
How long do you think you will be a reporter for the Jays I hope for a long time and can you update us on Burnett.
Thanks Jordan for the reply about training . I was sure with the kind of money spent on players, the Jays had to have something in place for the off season. I certainly understand why they can't check-in, with players coming from all over the world.
All teams must have a training program but it's not much good if the players don't follow it and you can bet not all of them will.
I tuned on the tv (after i got home from work) in the 4th. I thought uh oh something happened to Burnett, thankfully he was just shuffled though. The way the rotation is now who gets to pitch the last game ? I have tickets to that one, and obviously i'm hoping to see A.J. or Halladay. Wouldn't mind Banks either but isn't happening.
If Josh Banks ends up starting on Thursday, I may have played a role. I was the one who reminded Gibby that Banks is from Baltimore "Is that right?" Gibbons responded.
GARRYGUY: Not sure how long I'll be north of the border. As you all probably are aware, I'm originally from the states. So, as much as I love living and working in Toronto, which i do, my ultimate goal is to get back closer to home eventually.
As for Burnett, all we're being told is that he went home for some family business. He should be on the mound tomorrow.
Having said that I do hope his family is ok. Just finding that out now as well.
Jordan, just curious do you have a preference as to which team you'd like to cover for the playoffs?
probably cubs.
garry , I think they could or should be fined if they come back from the off season in poor shape. They are paid to be the best ball player they can be and they know to do that, they have to condition themselves. I think most players have a pretty rigid conditioning program and in some cases (League) go overboard.
indigo when JP signed Molina he was 40 pounds overweight this year when he went to SF he lost that weight and look at the year he is having,most players when they are going to be free agents have no program so they have to go it alone and I think most players have their own programs no matter what,Roger Clemens has his own program that I know for sure.
And yes they should be fined and the fine should be large.
Good game for Litsch so far the bullpen gets some much needed rest.
Sure, I'd love to cover the Cubbies for the playoffs, but I'll be in the AL, since two East teams will be in and I know the Yanks and BoSox quite well. Just not sure if I'll be sent to the Bronx or Beantown yet.
I like the cubs for the world series vs the angels and the cubs win in 6.
The way the yanks are playing a split is great and if we can do it with a lot of AAA players maybe we can do it next year even with an Abner handicap.
Well, I think we just saw the finest outing by a Jays starter all year. As a 22 year old kid to pitch in Yankee stadium on a day he wasn't expecting to pitch and hold the best offensive team in baseball to 5 hits and 1 run over 7 2/3 innings is a remarkable achievement.
Maybe Jessie is a big game pitcher. lol
Congratulations Jessie!!!
no gsumner today a lot of people must have to work poor people.lol.
I can't believe it but even bosox must have a job but who would hire him.ROTFLOL.
I'm not sure what's happened with Bosox. He hasn't been seen nor heard of since Saturday night.
He may be sick.
If you watched the game how come no posting.
When I saw the way Jessie was going, I didn't wanta jinx him. lol
The team is starting to look good the bullpen will be stronger next year our starters will be great,the young starters will be in better shape next year.
You know, I think if anyone had said we'd sweep the Sox and then take 2 of 4 from the Yanks in their Stadium, we'd probably called them nuts.
5 of 7 from those two teams is an achievement
Well, I think Jessie went a long way today in cementing his position for next year.
When bosox goes to bed tonight he will dream of Jessie all night long lol.
Well have to go take the wife downtown see you later.
The no name kid does the Yankees in ( not bad for a batboy ) I love those Toronto Blue Jays!!!!!!!!
If the Sox lose the division now, they stink!!!
They're 2 games ahead in the loss column, with 6 left.
I still wonder about the Red Sox chances though.
I will give the Jays alot of credit, playing tough down the stretch. They had every excuse to mail it in. With all there injuries to the lineup. Credit should be given to Gibbons. I know some of you will throw up on that but it is true. If you rip on Gibbons, you should give him credit when he does something good. In my opinion you can't pick and choose. The Jays are ready to play down the stretch and Gibbons is getting the boys ready.

I was so excited that the Yankees lost, I posted it twice.
Hey Jordan,
How about the Spartans…
4-0 and conference play is ready to go…..
Yeah, but MSU always starts out 4-0 or 3-1 and then finished the season with five or six wins. It's a tough conference and that's a pretty hard opener with 'Sconsin. If you allow 14 points to ND, you better score more than 31 against those pesky Badgers.
Oh, yeah, and what an outing by Jesse Litsch. Any conspiracy theorists out there think the Jays opted to have Litsch start over Burnett because of the rook's ability to attack the strike zone? Previous two games = 18 Yankee walks turned into 12 runs. Monday = no walks.
I agree with you, Abner does deserve credit for how our guys have played over the last 7 games.
Although, I still think he should have pulled McGowan at the end of the 4th yesterday-my hat is off to Abner-he did get these guys to play their hearts out.
Now about your Sox. If I was you, I'd be really worried about their chances in the playoffs the way Dice k and Wakefield are going. It sort of looks like Beckett and hope for 4 days of rain. lol
Well, I'm not sure about conspiracy, but it does go to show, no walks and little runs.
You had to be impressed with Da Kids poise today-pitched with a lot of heart.
Talking about mailing it in, I'm concerned about Johnson.
He's now gone 2 for the last 23 and only got 2 walks in that same 5 games. I stated noticing it yesterday; he doesn't seem to be working th e count, just wacking at the first strike.
That isn't like him, I'm wondering if that non comment from the Jays on his position bothered him.
Or maybe he's still hurting, I dunno. I just checked Johnson's stats since he came back and they are nasty.
August-BA-.219, OBP-.279, 6 bb
Sept.. BA-.185, OBP-.267, 3 bb
I never expected him to put up a year again like he did last year, but under the circumstances assuming we want to win, it likely makes sense to bench him and play Lind, with Stairs playing 1st.
Maybe Adams with that very nice OBP of .370 is an alternative lead off guy, I don't know, but it can't be worse than what it is at the moment.
Looking forward to 2008 with a healthy and well-rested team. Been a Jays fan since day 1 and happy to make my first post on this blog. JOEFAN
well, joe fan welcome and let it not be your last.
I'm not too happy with the way the Red Sox are playing. They need to have a 3rd starter step up and reveal who it is. Dice K hasn't looked good in a while. He was o.k. the other night but didn't finish the inning and to me that is disappointing.
No team scares me in either league. If I would take a guess right now I would lean towards the Angels. Right now being the key word. We'll see how the Red Sox play this week against 2 poor teams.
My guess would be The Angels as well, but I gotta tell you that Yank team is tough.
With Mussina rounding into shape their rotation is starting to look solid-not specacular-but solid. And the kids they've added in the pen are stepping up.
Angels play the Yankees, Angels will knock them out again. 2002 and 2005 they did.
Angels will have the home field advantage against the Yankees and that will be the difference. Angels play a different style of baseball and there running game will give teams fits.
I'd be really concerned about Dice-k too, if I were you. I'm sure some of his difficulty is weariness, but I'm also starting to think, he's been around the league enough now that he no longer holds any mistery to the hitters and they're getting to him.
You just gotta hope Beckett continues, Shilling survives and Dice-K somehow picks it up. The other guy that's surprising me is Wakefield who has looked really poor latey. What's up with him?
All in all, a very weak rotation.
But if the Yanks catch you, do they still play the Angels?
I'm not sure it's a given yet that you gys take the division.
Ya, I like the Angels, they play great, sound, fundamental baseball and run you into the ground.
The Big 10 is one of the more over-rated confrences in the nation. To me it all goes in cycles and the Big 10 is down.
Wisconsin is the best team in the conference and they barely beat Iowa at home in a prime time matchup. The top Big 10 teams are not explosive and that keeps teams in the game.
Well it looks like we're not the only team that has trouble with specific umpires.
Check out the San Diego story.
Word on the Interweb is that Frank Thomas is going to be doing some announcing for TBS during the playoffs.
I have no idea what Thomas will be like in the booth, but it's still kind of interesting. At least one Jays will be in the vicinity of the playoffs….

|Assistant Coach
|Alma Mater:
|Bowling Green State University, '79
|(919) 684-9232
Jan Ogilvie oversees the high jumpers for the Duke track and field program after previously working with the Blue Devil horizontal jumpers. She returned full time to the track & field staff in the fall of 2011 after spending two years as the Director of Duke Aquatics for East and West Campus from 2009-11. During that time, Ogilvie served as the volunteer jumps coach for the Blue Devils. She was also previously the head women's cross country and track & field coach from 1997-2003 before transitioning to Director of the Brodie Gym from 2003-09. In her 21 seasons with the Duke track & field program, she has coached at least one school record holder in each of those events.
The 2019 season was highlighted by a career year from Erin Marsh, who in the process of breaking pentathlon and heptathlon records, delivered a jump of 5-8.75 (1.75) at the NCAA Indoor Championships, placing sixth and moving to third all-time in Duke indoor history. Rivers Rideout also etched his name in the record book for second all-time, recording a 7-1.00 (2.16) jump at the ACC Indoor Championships, claiming bronze. Cassie Martin (Second Team) and Rideout (First) notched All-ACC Indoor honors, while the two each garnered Second Team All-ACC accolades for the outdoor campaign.
Ogilvie's 2018 group was highlighted by Cassie Martin's and Ridout's second team All-ACC performances at the outdoor league championship.
In 2017, Ogilvie guided six jumpers to qualifying for the ACC Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Ridout set new personal bests reaching a height of 6-11.50 (2.12) indoors and 6-10.75 (2.10) outdoors, both of which are the third highest height in Duke history.
The 2016 campaign was highlighted by Karli Johonnot finishing fourth at the ACC Indoor Championships in the high jump and earning All-ACC accolades, while Madeline Morrow was named first team All-ACC in the high jump and qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Round. Carl Heinz finished at the ACC Indoor Championships with the third-best leap in Duke history in the high jump, earning All-ACC honors.
The 2015 campaign was another solid showing for the Duke jumpers. Highlighting the year were rookie Andrew Pancoast, placing sixth and earning second team All-ACC honors in the men's high jump at the ACC Outdoor Championships with a leap of 6-7.50 (2.02), and junior Maddie Morrow, qualifying for the NCAA East Preliminary Round in the women's high jump.
The 2014 season saw a strong showing from Duke's high jump trio, Tanner Anderson, Michael Krone and Carl Heinz. Anderson earned the first All-ACC indoor honor of his career after placing second with a season-best clearance of 7-3.00 (2.21). Anderson's indoor season came to a close after earning All-America accolades, finishing eighth at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a mark of 7-0.50 (2.15). During the outdoor season, Duke, represented by Anderson, Krone and Heinz, was the only team to qualify three high jumpers for the NCAA East Preliminary Round competition. Earlier in the season, Anderson placed third at the conference meet, garnering the third All-ACC outdoor award of his career, while Heinz moved into Duke's top five in the event with a clearance of 6-10.25 (2.09).
During the 2013 season, Ogilvie coached Anderson to a new Duke indoor record in the high jump, clearing 7-3.25 (2.22) at the Virginia Tech Challenge. Anderson went on to finish fourth at the ACC Indoor Championships, narrowly missing All-ACC honors. During the outdoor season, Anderson's had his best performance when he won the collegiate division high jump competition at the 2013 Penn Relays by clearing 7-2.25 (2.19). With the performance, the Valdese, N.C., native qualified for his third consecutive NCAA East First Round competition.
In 2012, Ogilvie guided the duo of Krone and Anderson to finish one-two at the ACC Outdoor Championships with Krone clearing a career best 7-3.75 (2.23) and Anderson clearing 7-3 (2.21). The duo also qualified for the NCAA East First Round with the marks. Indoors, Anderson served as the top performer in the event with a clearance of 7-1 (2.16) to win the Millrose Collegiate.
In the spring of 2011, Ogilvie tutored one of the top freshman high jump duos in the country in Anderson and Krone. Anderson won the IC4A Championship and set a program record with a leap of 7-4.25 (2.24) while earning All-ACC honors during the indoor and outdoor seasons. He also qualified for the indoor NCAA Championships with a program record of 7-2.50 (2.19). Krone notched an indoor best of 7-0.25 (2.13) and earned All-East accolades outdoors.
Ogilvie also guided 2011 graduate Mike Kotecki to an ACC silver medal in 2008. Kotecki cleared 6-8.25 (2.03), the No. 3 all-time mark at Duke, as a sophomore at the ACC Championships to claim second place after beginning his collegiate career as an unheralded walk-on. She also previously led horizontal jumper Jade Ellis to Duke records in the long and triple jumps, as well as Ifey Anoliefo, the program record holder in the women's long jump, and triple jump record holder Jodi Schlesinger. Ogilvie mentored a seven-time NCAA qualifier in the high jump in Debra Vento, whose 6-1.50 (1.86) clearance is tops in school history. Vento went on to garner All-America status, as well as multiple ECAC and ACC Championships, and placed as high as third at the NCAA Championships.
Prior to her career at Duke, Ogilvie was the head women's coach at Boston University, where she won several New England Coach of the Year awards. She also previously served as an assistant coach at Indiana University, Syracuse University and Kansas State University during a career that began in the early 1980s.
Ogilvie and her husband, Director of Track and Field Norm Ogilvie, live in Durham with their two daughters, Jade and Starr.

Although the concept of putting a watch on a keychain is a good one—one less thing to carry around—the fact that it's a keychain makes it less than convenient. Why? Imagine having to fish out the lump of metal with all 10 of your keys to see what time it is, while at the same time trying to keep your wallet inside your pocket with the other hand, clumsily.
Then there's the noise issue, which means the jingling of your keys will alert everyone that you're checking the time for the fourth time in ten minutes, which we're sure the judge won't appreciate.

Text by Amy Gross
My guess is you've tried to meditate, or think you should. You keep hearing it's good for you, and you could use a little calm. But you can't can't do it. you can't stop thinking.
Your mind goes all over the place, and that makes you feel the opposite of calm -- which is the goal of meditation, isn't it? (Not really, but more on that later.)
I completely sympathize. In fact, my mission here is to assure you, first, that the reason it's so hard for you is that it's hard, period. And second, that it's worth every effort.
Of all the things you might do for yourself -- exercise, take your vitamins, cut out saturated fat, read Dante's "Inferno" -- this could be the most beneficial. I bet you've heard that meditation is good for your health, that it improves heart function and immune response, lowers blood pressure and levels of the stress hormone cortisol, reduces pain, and may even increase longevity.
Did you know, though, that it also rewires your brain?
So, Why Don't We All Meditate?
Scientists in the emerging field of contemplative neuroscience are discovering that meditation has measurable effects on brain functioning. In one study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, an eight-week course in mindfulness meditation was enough to significantly increase activity in the area of the left brain associated with positive feelings and the ability to recover more quickly from stress.
Mindfulness teaches you new habits of response that make you happier. So why doesn't everyone do it? And why is it so hard?
The most obvious reason: This simple act defies the rules of our society. We believe in rushing and achieving. We're convinced nothing we do is ever enough. Meditation asks us to draw our attention inward and stay seated when a million impulses call us back to the fray.
Western culture condemns it as navel gazing, and you may have picked up the idea that meditation is "woo-woo," a fad for the softheaded. When practice gets uncomfortable, you're relieved to have an excuse to stop: You're not cut out for this!
And practice is often uncomfortable. The longer you sit, the deeper you go into the dark cave of your mind, where ancient memories, guilt, fears, disappointments, and losses can spring out at you.
This isn't what you bargained for. You were hoping to find peace, and here's your own custom-made uproar. Besides that, your back is killing you. (Or it's just one boring breath after another, and you're jumping out of your skin. A friend who's newish to meditation says, "The silence is deafening!")
Everyone who meditates is a veteran of these torments. "The habit of self-judgment makes people impatient with the inevitable ups and downs of practice," says Sharon Salzberg, cofounder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, and author of "Real Happiness: The Power of Meditation: A 28-Day Program."
"People need a base of good understanding so they're not unfair to themselves. Maybe you're trying to force thoughts out of your mind, for example. Once you understand that's impossible, meditation gets easier."
I started out as the worst meditator in history. Actually, I started out not meditating at all, just reading about it. I was in college, an anxious mess, when I stumbled on "Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind" by Shunryu Suzuki, Alan Watts's "The Way of Zen," and later, Eugen Herrigel's "Zen in the Art of Archery."
These books were like cool water to a person with a fever. I could feel my breath deepen as I turned the pages. I'd be inspired to sit for a few days, then motivation would fizzle. This went on for years.
Finally, I realized I needed a meditation teacher. A friend suggested a weekend retreat with Joseph Goldstein and Sharon Salzberg, who brought mindfulness meditation home from India. Also called insight meditation, this is the practice the Buddha discovered that led to his enlightenment. You don't have to become a Buddhist to do it, though.
The idea is to pay attention each moment to your senses, emotions, and thoughts, without resistance or judgment. We were told to follow our breath, noting "in" and "out" as air moved through our belly or nose. When the mind wandered, we were supposed to return to the breath.
I could find my breath, but keeping my mind on it, with it, near it? I gave up. I tried again. I went into tailspins of despair. I was so taken with Joseph and Sharon, though, and so gratified by the taste of quiet, that I persisted.
"Just get into the position every day," Joseph said at the end of the retreat. "Even if you only sit for five minutes." I set off for my new life as a meditator.
Practicing Mindfulness
That was 15 years ago. I began to go on silent retreats. Ten days of meditating 12 hours a day, no reading or writing, and, except for two brief meetings with a teacher, no talking. Twice I went on three-month retreats. I was serious -- and still it took me 13 years to make sitting a daily habit.
To be completely honest: an almost daily habit. The urgencies of the day can still be very seductive. (I don't have time to sit; I've got to write an article about sitting!)
Such allegedly time-saving decisions usually backfire. When I sit, I think more clearly and life flows more easily. I can see now that the stress level of an event depends on my state of mind. In the midst of a downward spiral of anxiety, I'll suddenly recognize that my fears are a fantasy, an old pain pattern. The hysteria drops away.
It's like one of those nightmares where a towering wave is about to crash down on you -- and then you wake up. There is no wave. Mindfulness taps on the window of your awareness and -- ping! -- brings you back to the present.
The disasters we imagine in our future torture us more than reality ever can. As Eckhart Tolle teaches, "Right now I'm OK." The more fully you inhabit now, the more OK you are. Now is home base, the best spa, the best medicine. Meditation is training in getting to now.
What makes it powerful is what makes it hard: You're dismantling two of the oldest reflexes in the world.
The first is: Running away from pain. We spend our lives clamping off negative reactions. Meditation invites these reactions to the surface, where they can get the attention they've wanted from you all these years, and ultimately dissolve. You see you're not destroyed. "Acceptance is the key," Joseph says. "Resistance locks in the feeling."
The second reflex is: Clinging to the pleasant. We want what we want when we want it; when we get it, we hold on tight. That's as futile as trying to hold on to a rushing river.
Meditation offers infinite opportunities to open our grip. We see that we don't lose anything by letting go -- we've just quit an exercise in futility. Peace, according to the Buddha, is the greatest happiness. And isn't that what you said you wanted?
Where are you going to sit?
You don't need an altar or candles -- just a quiet spot where you won't be disturbed.
When are you going to sit?
I like to meditate first thing in the morning, when I have the most control over my time. If the morning got away from you, how about now? Could you pay attention to just three breaths, as suggested by meditation teacher and InsightLA founder Trudy Goodman?
Please give up the notion that you must fold yourself into the lotus position. I sit on a chair or a sofa or kneel on the floor. What's vital is to create a stable base, back upright but not stiff. You want to be relaxed yet alert.
How long are you going to sit?
Commit to a period: 10 minutes, or 20, or 45. It might help to set a (quiet) timer.
How to Sit
Meditation is mind training. You're tethering your attention to an object, as though you were tying a monkey to a pole. The monkey is going to scamper about, but sooner or later it quiets down.
To tame your monkey mind, close your eyes and sit still, becoming aware of any aches and sensations rather than automatically adjusting your posture to alleviate discomfort.
Then follow the sensations of breathing: expanding and contracting, rising and falling. The breath is your anchor. If it helps, silently note "in" and "out" as air enters and leaves the body. "Rub your belly with your mind," as Sharon says.
If you find this boring, consider: If this next breath were your last, would you find it boring? The breath is a continual invitation to be here now, and now, and now.
When Thoughts Come Up
Your mind is going to create thoughts.That's what minds do. The idea is not to refuse the thoughts or judge yourself. An image that helps me deal with the concoctions of my mind comes from Tibetan Buddhism.
Visualize "you" as the vast blue sky, and thoughts, emotions, and sensations as passing clouds. They don't stain the sky, the Tibetans say. No matter how permanent they look, they're going to move on.
When there's judgment, resistance, or self-criticism (I'm hopeless, I can't do this, this is stupid), let them go -- just more clouds -- and return to the breath. You're not trying to empty your mind; you're trying to notice what's going on. Every time you realize "I've been thinking!" that's a moment of clarity.
Meditation gives you a seat in the theater of awareness. Let's say the drama being enacted is anger: Instead of getting angry with yourself for being angry, be curious. The anger is giving you information that could be useful or not (I think X is taking advantage of me). You can weigh that information later.
Right now, sink your attention into your body. What are the sensations that you recognize as "anger"? Where are they? The mind can't focus on two things at once. Dropping the story cuts the fuel line to the emotion. The feelings fade away. Calm returns.
As Sharon says, this path has its ups and downs. The trick is to have faith in the process. If you sit, you'll get wise to your mind. Your heart will soften. Your love for yourself and others will bloom. It's inevitable.
Drop the story of how hopeless it is and begin again. Every moment is new. Investigate this newness. Don't miss it!

BENEFITS OF EXCELLENT RANGE hood CIRCULATION
We recommend hoods be placed 30 to 36 inches above the cooktop. A hood's width should be equal to the range top or up to 6 inches wider, according to personal preference. There are multiple benefits to ZLINE hoods:
Air Circulation and Air Quality: A kitchen can get extremely hot while cooking. ZLINE hoods are designed to move air away from the kitchen, clearing unwanted particulates. The right type of hood can improve the efficiency of your ventilation system and remove the odors that come naturally with cooking. With a ZLINE hood, the cooler the kitchen will feel, and the better it will smell.
Improved real estate value. Are you looking for an upgrade to your kitchen that boosts your home's real estate value, whether real or perceived? Many buyers find wood range hoods to be an indicator that sellers took their kitchen revitalization seriously.
Better-looking and cleaner food preparation area. Cleaning grease stuck to surfaces around your kitchen can be a difficult process. With the right wood vent hood, you'll have fewer oil droplets hanging in the air.

This question already has an answer here:
I'm having problems working with the output from
DSolve whilst in a module. To handle the result outside a module typically I would do something like
f[t] = y[t] /. solution
But inside a module my
t is now
t$ followed by some numbers. How can I create and return a function from the output of
DSolve inside a module?
Here is my code:
equations = {y''[t]== -m g,y'[0]==100,y[0]==0};
solution = Flatten@ DSolve[equations,y,t];
h[t] = y[t] /. solution;
I get
h = 100. t$16608-4.9 t$16608^2, but
h[1] = h$16909[1).

Latest News
Insurers praised parts of Democratic health law but gave mostly to Republicans
The health insurance industry presented itself as an ally of President Barack Obama's health care law while at the same time making hefty contributions to members of Congress who are trying to get rid of it, according to contribution records.
Between January 2007 and August 2012, the political action committees of the 11 largest health insurance companies and their primary trade group gave $10.2 million to federal politicians. Nearly two-thirds of the total went to Republicans who oppose the law or support its repeal, according to the Center for Public Integrity's analysis of Federal Election Commission filings.
The 11 top companies, according to the Fortune 500 list, controlled 35 percent of the industry in 2011, according to data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. The top industry trade group is America's Health Insurance Plans.
Much of the money rolled in as health insurance industry leaders showed support for the Democrats' reform efforts.
"We are ready to be accountable to these (new) rules," Karen Ignagni, AHIP's president and chief executive officer told the Senate Finance Committee in May 2009, roughly a year before Obama's landmark legislation was signed into law. And a month after Obama's Affordable Care Act became law in March 2010, Ignagni said her organization was "strongly committed" to its "successful implementation."
Likewise, Ron Williams, then chairman and chief executive officer of Aetna, the country's fifth-largest health insurance company, also spoke favorably about the bill – at first.
"I believe that President Obama and this Congress have charted a course of change," Williams said in a June 2009 statement. "I want to make clear that we too are committed to expanding access, controlling costs and improving the quality and value of care people receive."
But Williams, who left Aetna in April 2011, this past June penned a Wall Street Journal op-ed calling for health care reform at the state level and criticizing the federal law's mandate.
House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., ranks as the top recipient of political action committee money from the top insurers since 2007, according to the center's analysis. Cantor, a tea party favorite and one of the law's most vocal critics, has received about $258,000 from AHIP and the top industry PACs.
In January 2011, Cantor introduced the Repealing the Job-Killing Health Care Law Act, the first of 33 repeal efforts that have reached the House floor.
That same year, Aetna, Humana, UnitedHealth Group and WellPoint – which together control 28 percent of the health insurance market – maxed out to Cantor, giving $10,000 apiece to his campaign committee. That doesn't include additional sums that went into the congressman's leadership PAC.
Behind Cantor, Rep. David Camp, R-Mich., ranks second in health insurance industry contributions. The chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee has pulled in more than $234,000 from these PACs since 2007. Last year, Camp sponsored a bill that would cut $11.6 billion in funding for the law.
Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, now the Republican nominee for vice president, also is among the top recipients ($187,000). Just this year, Ryan, who leads the House Budget Committee, has sponsored two major budget plans that have called for the law's repeal.
Other top recipients of health insurance PAC money during this period include House Speaker John Boehner ($209,500), Republican House Whip Kevin McCarthy of California ($149,700), Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who is the ranking GOP member of the Senate Finance Committee ($151,500), and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont. ($142,400).
So if the health insurance industry was in favor of key parts of the law, why support members of Congress bent on killing it?
Part of the reason is that the legislation's centerpiece, the requirement that almost everyone sign up for health insurance or pay a penalty, is expected to benefit the health insurance industry. Many Democrats supported the provision; many Republicans oppose it.
At the time the reform law passed, the Democratic Party controlled the White House and both houses of Congress. By supporting the law, the industry was able to stay in the game on a very complex piece of legislation.
AHIP and WellPoint – the industry's top PAC contributor – did not reply to the center's telephone or email inquiries requesting comment. Representatives from Aetna, Amerigroup, Cigna and Humana declined to comment for this story.
There were plenty of provisions the industry did not like and would like to see repealed. For example, under the new law, insurance companies must spend at least 80 cents of every premium dollar on medical care for individual and small business policyholders, and 85 cents for large groups. That's a provision the industry would like to see repealed.
Insurers must send policyholders or their employers rebate checks if the ratio drops below those levels.
In recent statements, AHIP claims the provision, known as the "medical loss ratio requirement," could inhibit innovation and drive up administrative costs because of new reporting requirements.
Indeed, AHIP has lobbied extensively for a new bill that would allow insurance companies to include broker compensation as a medical care cost in the ratio. Carmen Balber, who monitors health policy at the nonprofit Consumer Watchdog, said the bill "would effectively gut the medical loss ratio requirement."
This legislation, sponsored by Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., was forwarded to the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Sept. 11. Rogers ranks 19th on the center's list of top health insurance beneficiaries, receiving $90,500 over the nearly six-year period. AHIP supports Rogers' bill, as do several trade associations representing brokers and agents, claiming broker salaries commissions are not necessarily administrative costs, but rather a "human resource" expense.
But to Balber, such a shift in premium calculation would negate the cost-cutting benefits of the medical loss ratio provision – which she considers the law's strongest consumer protection.
Since the Democrats' Affordable Care Act was signed into law, the political environment has changed dramatically.
Democrats no longer hold a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, the House is controlled by Republicans and the president is in a tight race for re-election.
Despite his party's unified attack on the health care law, Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, whose own health insurance reforms in Massachusetts were in part a model for Obama's plan, has recently hinted at willingness to compromise on some of its politically popular elements.
"Well, I'm not getting rid of all of health care reform," Romney said in a Sept.9 interview with David Gregory on NBC's "Meet the Press."
While the individual mandate is widely viewed as unpopular, the opposite is true for many provisions, such as the prohibition on companies refusing to cover patients with pre-existing conditions, the closing of the Medicare Part D prescription drug "doughnut hole" and the option for young adults to stay on their parent's plan until age 26. According to Bob Laszewski, an insurance industry consultant, a Romney administration would not be able to secure enough votes in the Senate to repeal the law, even if it wanted to.
A more realistic legislative outcome is that congressional Republicans would attempt to defund the law through budget reconciliation rules – a scenario that likely would hurt insurance company balance sheets, he said.
GOP defunding efforts would leave insurance companies subject to the law's politically popular insurance regulations – like covering patients with pre-existing conditions – but without government subsidies that are provided in some parts of the plan.
"If Romney wins, I think you're going to see the insurance industry very concerned about Republicans trying to choke health care reform," Laszewski said.

Allergy shots are injections you receive at regular intervals over a period of approximately three to five years to stop or reduce allergy attacks. Allergy shots are a form of treatment called immunotherapy.
Each allergy shot contains a tiny amount of the specific substance or substances that trigger your allergic reactions. These are called allergens. Allergy shots contain just enough allergens to stimulate your immune system — but not enough to cause a full-blown allergic reaction.
Over time, your doctor increases the dose of allergens in each of your allergy shots. This helps get your body used to the allergens (desensitization). Your immune system builds up a tolerance to the allergens, causing your allergy symptoms to diminish over time.
Allergy shots may be a good treatment choice for you if:
Allergy shots can be used to control symptoms triggered by:
Allergy shots aren't currently recommended for food allergies.
Most people don't have much trouble with allergy shots. But they contain the substances that cause your allergies — so reactions are possible and can include:
If you get weekly or monthly shots on a regular schedule without missing doses, you're less likely to have a serious reaction.
Taking an antihistamine medication before getting your allergy shot may help reduce the risk of reaction. Check with your doctor to see if this is recommended for you.
The possibility of a severe reaction is scary — but you won't be on your own. You'll be observed in the doctor's office for 30 minutes after each shot, when the most serious reactions usually occur. If you have a severe reaction after you leave, return to your doctor's office or go to the nearest emergency room.
Before starting a course of allergy shots, your doctor may use a skin test to determine that your reactions are caused by an allergy — and which specific allergens cause your signs and symptoms.
During a skin test, a small amount of the suspected allergen is scratched into your skin and the area is then observed for about 15 minutes. Swelling and redness indicate an allergy to the substance. Your doctor may also use an allergy blood test.
When you go in for allergy shots, let the nurses or doctors know if you are feeling unwell in any way. This is especially important if you have asthma. Also let them know if you had any symptoms after a previous allergy shot.
Allergy shots are usually injected in the upper arm.
To be effective, allergy shots are given on a schedule that involves two phases:
In some cases the buildup phase is done more quickly (rush immunotherapy), which requires several injections of increasing doses during each doctor visit. This can decrease the amount of time you need to reach the maintenance phase and get relief from allergy symptoms, but it also increases your risk of having a severe reaction.
You will need to remain in the doctor's office for 30 minutes after each shot, in case you have a reaction.
Don't exercise vigorously for at least a few hours after you get a shot to lessen the risk of a reaction.
Allergy symptoms won't stop overnight. They usually improve during the first year of treatment, but the most noticeable improvement often happens during the second year. By the third year, most people are desensitized to the allergens contained in the shots — and no longer have significant allergic reactions to those substances.
After a few years of successful treatment, some people don't have significant allergy problems even after allergy shots are stopped. Other people need ongoing shots to keep symptoms under control.

NORTH MANCHESTER, IND. - Transylvania University bookended a pair of big offensive rallies on the front and back ends of a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference series opener against Manchester University Friday, May 2.
Despite the loss to open Senior Weekend 2014 at Gratz Field, the Black and Gold received good news from two fronts.
The first arrived soon after the game concluded as second-place Anderson University was overcome by a late rally from Earlham 5-4. The loss sewed up at least a share of MU's sixth overall HCAC title and third in the last four years as well as hosting duties for the 2014 HCAC postseason tournament.
The second came in the form of multiple-hit contests from junior shortstop Trevor Kimm (Anderson, Ind.), junior center fielder Kyle Norris (Indianapolis, Ind.), senior designated hitter Dan Maringer (Fort Wayne, Ind.) and freshman first baseman Tailur Szarenski (Bluffton, Ind.). Maringer led the quartet with four hits, a double and two RBIs.
Transylvania (17-21 overall, 11-13 HCAC) got out of the gates fast with six hits during a five-run first. MU (23-14 overall, 17-6 HCAC) answered right back with four in the first highlighted by a two-run single from senior right fielder Ryne Lehrman (Hoagland, Ind.) who finished with three RBIs. The home side tied it with a single run in the third, but TU managed single runs in the fifth and seventh to hold a 7-6 edge into the ninth. From there, they took advantage of a combined five walks and hit batsmen, including four hits, to plate eight runs en route to a 15-8 win.
MU's Senior Weekend set with Transylvania resumes Saturday, May 3. A pair of nine-inning contests begins at 12 p.m.
NOTES – Maringer and junior second baseman Logan Hug (Indianapolis, Ind.) each resumed impressive streaks. The senior's three-hit effort upped his on-base string to 16 straight games, while Hug moved his hitting streak to 10 contests in a row.

| For Fallout 2 Rangers, see NCR Ranger (Fallout 2).
For New Vegas Rangers, see NCR Ranger (Fallout: New Vegas).
The New California Republic Rangers are an elite outfit of the New California Republic Army. The Rangers are a select group that is pledged to protect the people of the wastes much like the Texas Rangers in pre-War times.
The Rangers were founded by Seth[1] after Tandi and Aradesh created the New California Republic and eventually, by 2241, became one of the most powerful military forces in the wasteland. Forces on NCR territory were particularly concerned with the problem of slavery and actively fought it by any means necessary. In early years, the burgeoning republic was faced by a large volume of threats - from slavers and raider tribes, to roaming gangs and to the Wasteland itself. The Rangers were instrumental in protecting the frontiers, using their expertise to tip the balance in favor of the Republic when numbers and resources may not have been on their side.
Rangers were also the first to scout out Nevada and the Hoover Dam. In 2271, the Desert Rangers signed the Ranger Unification Treaty with the NCR Rangers at the Mojave Outpost, in which they agreed to become part of the NCR military in exchange for protection of Hoover Dam and Nevada from Caesar's Legion.
In 2277, Rangers under the command of Chief Hanlon were pivotal in turning the tide of the First Battle of Hoover Dam. In a cunning trap laid by them and NCR's 1st Recon, they lured the best fighters of Caesar's Legion into Boulder City. When enemy troops entered the city, it was blown up. In the aftermath, the remaining Legion survivors were gunned down by snipers. Although the NCR forced the Legion to retreat, the losses they sustained in defence of the dam prevented them from following up on their success.
By 2281, the NCR military had become well-established within the Mojave Wasteland. Operating from a large number of stations across the area, the Rangers remain ever vigilant for Legion raiding parties, as well as common brigands. However, despite the enormous threat posed by the Legion, many of the organization's best members had been reassigned to other posts off the front lines. A few were given the "prestigious" task of becoming bodyguards for the current President of the Republic, Aaron Kimball; others were sent off to Baja on an unknown mission.
Despite their ongoing dedication to their duty, even the Rangers are finding it difficult to retain their hold on a territory as expansive as the Mojave. Under the command of General Lee Oliver, the New California Republic Army has adopted a confrontational posture, entrenching itself on the banks of the Colorado River while facing Legion positions on the opposite side. Given ongoing manpower shortages and overstretched supply lines, this only made the Republic's strategic situation even more precarious than before. General Lee Oliver, however, greatly favors the rank-and-file soldiers of the NCR military, to the point where Rangers are routinely put in harm's way in favor of Oliver's power-armored shock-troops.
The Rangers organized as elite light infantry. Life in the Rangers is hard, beginning with the arduous and extremely demanding selection course. Men and women are both allowed to try becoming Rangers, but their chances of making it are low either way. Prospective Rangers are recruited from the best of the regular NCR Army and even then, 80% do not finish training and drop out. The training and conditioning is said to be as nearly as intense as that of the legionaries, albeit only more forgiving. The result is that even alone, each Ranger is a force to be reckoned with, as was the case with one female ranger who was able to best an elite centurion with her bare hands. Those that finish and are awarded the badge have proven that they are "quieter than a shadow and more ferocious than a deathclaw." Their superior training, superior weaponry and assortment of pre-War and post-War technology allows them to tip battles in NCR's favor even when a situation may see them outnumbered and outgunned.
The NCR Rangers operate almost entirely outside of the normal NCR Army, and some get their orders from some of the highest-ranking leaders the NCR has. An NCR Ranger hit squad exists in the Mojave in 2281, ready to "do terrible things to terrible people" if ordered by NCR leadership.
The Rangers are a close-knit outfit, with a great deal of emphasis placed on respecting the wisdom of their veterans and elders. The greatest of these in 2281 is Chief Hanlon, who is the object of near-reverence by his fellow Rangers. The Rangers do not generally use the NCR Army's standard military rank structure. Their known ranks are:
- Ranger recruit
- Ranger
- Veteran Ranger
- Chief (only the top Ranger holds this rank)
However, sometimes the Rangers do use standard military rank- a Ranger by the name of Balmoral referred to himself as a staff sergeant while he was in the Divide.[2]
It is unknown how the Rangers are organized strategically. Chief Hanlon explains that the Ranger stations across the Mojave are tasked with patrolling the NCR's territory. They then report to the Ranger station, who then transmit the message to the Rangers base (Camp Golf in the Mojave) who will then analyse the threat and directly call reinforcements from the regular army.
According to Balmoral's report in the Divide, it seems the Rangers are divided into battalions, then in companies, and finally in platoons, much like the regular army.
Various unnamed NCR Rangers make up patrols that circulate both around NCR itself and along major slave trafficking routes. They wear combat armor and carry several high end weapons like miniguns, assault rifles (ex. H&K CAWS), and sniper rifles. Around the NCR Capital, they can be found fighting random hostiles like super mutants and raiders, whereas on the slave routes they can be found killing slavers.

- Chief Hanlon
- Ranger Dobson
- Ranger Ghost
- Ranger Gomez
- Ranger Grant
- Ranger Jackson
- Ranger Keller
- Ranger Stella
- Ranger Stevens
- Ranger Milo
There are also unnamed NCR Rangers and NCR Veteran Rangers present.
Relations with the outsideEdit
The Rangers, especially the Veteran Rangers, have a fearsome reputation with friend and foe alike. In the Mojave, posters can be seen of them and some NCR troopers believe they "chew nails and spit napalm." Even men of Caesar's Legion speak of the Rangers with respect, calling them "the best the profligates have to offer."
Rangers employ high end equipment (namely combat armor, various small arms, heavy weapons and occasionally, scavenged vehicles). Their regular patrol armor is hand-made in the NCR, while the elite black armor used by Veteran Rangers are based on pieces of pre-War LAPD riot armor. Ranger combat helmets are old pre-War gear that have built-in optics for low light conditions.
While the level of technology employed by the Rangers is quite impressive by the standards of the wastelands, it is still far behind the state-of-art equipment utilized by the Brotherhood of Steel and Enclave. Nevertheless, it is a testament to resources of the New California Republic that the Rangers are able to be so uniformly well-equipped, and even a Ranger on non-combat duties will easily defeat a group of Legionaries.
Interactions with the player characterEdit
Fallout 2Edit
NCR Rangers can be seen in random encounters and will usually leave the Chosen One alone, only attacking if they are a slaver. They also appear in New California Republic. If not hostile, the Chosen One even has the option of joining the Rangers as a member.
Fallout: New VegasEdit
The Courier can encounter Rangers throughout the Mojave, in various outposts and camps. They can choose to help them in various quests, such as updating their radio security codes or rescuing a member from Vault 3. If the Courier chooses to aid the NCR, a squad of Veteran Rangers will aid in the Second Battle of Hoover Dam. Alternatively, if they have a negative reputation with the NCR, they may send a squad of Rangers to kill the Courier.
Choices made in Fallout: New Vegas will change the fate of the Rangers. The ending can range from them dying to the last man and their organization being broken, to them being victorious and hailed as heroes.
- The Courier can call a Ranger in as backup through the NCR emergency radio, as long as they have a good reputation with the NCR.
- When asked about a missing Ranger, James Hsu will say that Rangers complete their missions so often that it is easy to forget they might fail.
- Fiends are afraid of them, making comments about running away from them and their black armor.
NCR Rangers first appeared in Fallout 2. They play a major role in Fallout: New Vegas and were scheduled to appear in the canceled Van Buren.
Behind the scenesEdit
- According to the Fallout Bible, the Rangers are similar and based on the Texas Rangers of old.
The article text comes from J.E. Sawyer's Fallout RPG and from Chris Avellone's Fallout Bible 6.

You can also manage, filter, and pre-process your data in MATLAB.
MATLAB provides functions for filtering and smoothing, interpolation, convolution, and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). Here we identify all the data that has a value of 999, an indicator that we have a broken sensor. We use interpolation to replace the missing temperature values.
Using MATLAB, you can uncover trends, test assumptions, and build descriptive models.
Add-on products provide capabilities for curve and surface fitting, multivariate statistics, spectral analysis, image analysis, and many other analysis tasks.
Here we use Curve Fitting Toolbox™ to fit a custom model to our data.
You can document and share results as plots or as complete reports.
You can capture your analysis in a single script or function and generate a report directly from it. The report will contain your MATLAB code, any comments, as well as the results from running the program, including plots.
Here we've published to an HTML file, but reports can be published in a variety of other formats, including PDF, Word, or LaTeX.

Spotlight on… Kevin Durant, forward, Thunder
When: The NBA's leading scorer was back to his high-scoring best during the evaluation period of March 15-21. For that, he is The Denver Post's NBA player of the week.
What's up: Durant was the best player on the court time after time in four games, averaging 37.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 5.5 assists while shooting 48.9 percent from the field. The Thunder won three of the four games — including a 119-118 overtime thriller at Toronto on Friday, when Durant poured in 51 points, grabbed 12 rebounds and had seven assists.
Background: The league's MVP race is over. Durant is the clear leader for the award. Not only for splash games like his 50-point performances, of which he has two this season, but also for keeping his team afloat when all-star guard Russell Westbrook has gone down. Westbrook is down again with another knee injury. It might have been a neck-and-neck race after LeBron James' 61-point game, but Durant's MVP separation is back.
Dempsey's take: One of the most admirable parts of Durant's game has been his ability to strike the perfect balance of scoring points in bunches while still being a playmaker, keeping his teammates engaged in the action. The former University of Texas star has worked on that the past couple of seasons — and the result is on display. He's as all-around effective as they come in the NBA.

Philadelphia Inquirer, 25 Sep 1897
I found this yesterday on Genealogy Bank. It was a great find. My great grandfather Emil Gunther is still a mystery is so many ways, but I am finding things slowly about him. I had gotten their marriage license last year when I went to the Philadelphia Archives. The license said that Catherine McCarron resides on Grays Ferry Rd(Ave), Philadelphia. Where this said she is from Norristown, a suburb of Philadelphia.

Authorities said the attacks started in September and have occurred along Interstate 80 between Watt and Madison Avenues.
Sergeant Lisa Bowman said at least three women have reported being attacked.
"Every time this person gets away with a crime, it empowers them to do more. It empowers them to kidnap or rape or hurt people more," said Bowman.
Bowman said one victim reported being subdued with a stun gun. Another woman was attacked with a knife.
Bowman urged women to avoid walking by themselves, be aware of their surroundings, and hold their keys in their hands to use as a weapon if attacked.
The suspect is described as an African American male, between 20 to 40 years old, with a large build, shaved head or a short haircut and wearing rectangular-shaped glasses. The suspect was last seen driving an older, red sedan.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department at (916) 874-TIPS (8477).
These are composite sketches provided by the Sheriff's Department based on descriptions given by the three victims.

Description provided by The Flipping Formula:
The Inner Circle Experience teaches students how to rehab properties from the experts who bring in a sizeable return-on-invesment each and every time. Classes are held in actual rehabbing projects as the students see actual completed deals that Dave and Peter have done. The guests are walked through each step of the process that led to the successful rehab project. Some of the key components of this class teaches you how to inspect properties for needed repairs and upgrades, organize your rehab project, learn the art of design and learn how to cash flow your rehabbed properties. The Inner Circle Advanced Training leaves students fully prepared to enter the world of rehabbing. The knowledge imparted can take real estate investors years to acquire on their own.
Student Comments:
The best thing that I'm taking away from this workshop is to be able to learn new ideas from the team. One of these ideas is building the design elements with the plan prior to beginning rehab. One aspect that could have been done better is to bring the power team in earlier. I was very exhausted after three days and it was tough to follow when tired.

Buffalo Central Terminal from 1929 to the Present
In 1967 the New York Central RR and the Pennsylvania RR merged, forming the
Penn Central system, the terminal's second owner.
Amtrak took over the majority of the inter-city passenger service in the
United States in 1971 and used Central Terminal as its Buffalo terminus until
October 28, 1979 when the terminal was abandoned.
At the end of August 1997 the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation took
possession of this grand old edifice with the primary focus on restoration and
preservation of this landmark site.
After well over ten years of neglect, efforts have begun to repair one of Buffalo's
favorite buildings, the Central Terminal.

The Dictator, My Pen Pal
Critics complain that with Letters to the President, director Petr Lom has made a propaganda film for a dictator. Speaking in an interview with Igal Avidan, Petr Lom highlights the day-to-day absurdities of cooperating with the Iranian regime
How does a relatively unknown director get permission to be the sole foreign filmmaker to accompany the Iranian president?
Petr Lom: The Iranian Presidential Office liked the fact that I didn't want to make a critical film and that I wanted to concentrate on the exchange of letters between Ahmadinejad and various Iranian citizens. They wanted to show the Iranian president in a popular light.
It was also helpful that I am an independent filmmaker and could present respectable academic credentials. The Iranian officials even suggested a title: "Democracy in Action".
You wanted to observe the president behind the scenes and show how he thinks and how his administration arrives at decisions. You didn't succeed. Why?
Petr Lom: The Iranian authorities didn't allow me to because they were very suspicious, paranoid even. The most difficult thing was to convince them that I wasn't a spy, as was claimed by one far-right newspaper.
Of the five months I spent in Iran, I only filmed for a total of three weeks. Otherwise, I was busy filling out applications or waiting for permits. We were under constant surveillance wherever we went.
Why don't you show the restrictions on your work or the many human rights violations in Iran?
Petr Lom: I have no need to include myself in the film, but I do show how my papers were checked and a construction worker who said he had heard I had been arrested.
In most cases where I wasn't allowed to shoot, I couldn't even film the prohibition, otherwise they would have erased the material. Nor was I allowed to show the regime critic Shirin Abadi in an official film, or I would have been immediately thrown out of the country.
Nonetheless, in my free time I met with Iranian directors and human rights activists who had film bans imposed on them. I had to be very careful not to be expelled.
One man in the film talks to you while hiding behind the door. Were many Iranians afraid of the camera?
Petr Lom: Very many! In this case, I had decided to go from door to door in an apartment building in Tehran, asking people in front of the camera if they had ever written to Ahmadinejad. Many refused to answer. One called out from behind the door, "Writers here are free, as long as they don't write." Some people phoned the security service.
Did you have to present your film footage to the Iranian authorities?
Petr Lom: I only had to present my material to Vice President Ali Saidlu. I showed him 90 per cent of what I had shot; he didn't like it. He said to my interpreter that I am not a good filmmaker. And this was the de facto end to my film project. The Iranian authorities had obviously expected a more propagandistic film.
Did the vice president see the interviews with students in Tehran, where they mocked Ahmadinejad and criticised his economic policies and censorship?
Petr Lom: Only half of it.
Did the Iranians erase any scenes?
Petr Lom: Just one. A number of times I shot a building in Tehran that featured a huge wall mural of Ayatollah Khomeini. When I filmed this building and the panorama of the city from the roof, I encountered problems with the security service, because some generals lived in the building. The police subsequently erased the scene.
Why didn't you film the nuclear facilities?
Petr Lom: We went there, of course! I arrived in Iran a week before "Nuclear Day". Since April 2007, there have been annual celebrations in Iran marking the date when enough uranium was enriched to produce nuclear fuel.
We were in a provincial city and wanted to film "Nuclear Day" in the nuclear facility in Natanz, where Ahmadinejad was to hold an official speech the following day. The night before the speech, we asked an assistant in Tehran to obtain a film permit and fax it to us in Natanz.
We drove four hours to get there, got to the facility and said that we had received permission to film, but needed access to a fax machine. Of course, they refused to help us. It was actually Ahmadinejad himself who told his advisors that he couldn't understand why we were only concentrating on the exchange of letters and not on the great achievement of nuclear energy.
Ahmadinejad is standing for re-election on 13 June. How do you rate his chances?
Petr Lom: The film shows huge crowds of people in the provinces cheering him on. This could convey the false impression that he enjoys a great deal of general support. These scenes surprised some of my Iranian friends. I don't have any figures, but Ahmadinejad is very unpopular in Tehran on account of the high rate of inflation, which is now over 25 per cent.
When I was trying to get permission to film, I was asked why I wanted to make a film about the unpopular president. Yet, Ali Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, said three months ago that Ahmadinejad will govern for another five years. That could be an indication of the election results.

Petr Lom was born in Prague in 1968 and studied political science in Toronto and at Harvard. From 1998 to 2004 he lectured at various European universities. His films include Bride Kidnapping in Kyrgyzstan (2004), On a Tightrope (2007), and most recently Letters to the President (Canada/Iran 2009, 74 min.).

When it comes to high-end fashion, Michael Kors is a name that you can trust. As a designer that has been dealing in accessories and women's clothing dating back to 1981, there is an extensive collection of merchandise that you can find from their MICHAEL Michael Kors label. With watches, purses, and ready to wear clothing, their exclusive brand caters to a variety of clientele and fashionable women.
With the creation of the fashion house in 1981, Michael Kors immediately made its mark on the fashion industry and became a household name. With its original launch in high-end department stores including Bloomingdales, Bergdorf Goodman, and Saks Fifth Avenue, they had a successful launch in comparison to other fashion designers. Between 1983 and today, they have won numerous fashion awards including the Elle/Cadillac Fashion Award for Excellence. With the original idea of working primarily in women's clothing, the brand diversified by including their menswear line in 1997.
Today, Michael Kors is mostly known for their collection of accessories, particularly their purses. Although they are a high end fashion label and are priced substantially higher than the average department store designer, they are on the more affordable end of haute couture fashion. The MICHAEL Michael Kors collection offers more affordable fashions for the everyday contemporary woman that wants to make an impact everywhere she goes. A few other popular accessories that they offer include belts and eyewear. In comparison to the other collections under the Michael Kors name including KORS, MICHAEL Michael Kors focuses primarily on accessories.
One of the most notable aspects of the women's clothing you'll find from the designer is the fact that they combine timeless luxury with modern influences. All of their clothing would fit perfectly into the everyday woman's wardrobe meanwhile showing off her most fashionable side. Whether you're searching for a tailored pair of dress pants to pair with a blazer for work or if you want a romantic pair of heels for a date, the options are relatively endless.
Michael Kors offers a unique style that could be related to other popular and newer fashion houses such as Tory Burch. When shoppers begin looking for accessory retailers, these two fashion labels are typically the top choices because they have contemporary designs that are appropriate for teens, young adults, and matured women. From side satchels to slouched purses, the MICHAEL Michael Kors label encompasses every accessory a woman could need.
