My Story: Yuki Goto '08
I have just finished my second cycle at the "Brain Injury Day Treatment Program" at the Rusk Institute of NYU Medical Center.
Before I started this training, I was unaware and didn't think I had any problems. I thought I could go right back to college. My family disagreed. At the time, I was arguing a lot and said hurtful things. I never wanted to, but I didn't know how to stop. This convinced me to come to Rusk and learn about my brain injury.
But now, I learned that my thinking and behavior changed because of my brain injury, and I can't realize that on my own, because I lost the capability to observe myself accurately. Because the way I think was affected, things that I used to do easily became hard. I have to change the way I do things in every way. That's the reason I need training so that I will be able to control myself again. For example, I don't mean to start an argument, but I say things off the target because I don't fully understand what others said. In order to work around this deficit, I learned to repeat what others said in my own words and I am practicing to do so all the time. This is something new in my life, and it is really hard for me to actually apply it in my daily life reliably.
I am optimistic for the future, because through the training I am becoming better at working around my deficits. But I know I have more problems like reading, writing, and communicating effectively.
The staff at Rusk told me that I've made significant progress. I'm better able to concentrate and focus on the topic of the conversation and have a full understanding of what others are saying.
They said I can still make more progress.
I will be able to improve enough to find something meaningful I can do. It might not be what I had hoped for, but my goal is to be independent and possibly go back to college or start working. Therefore I'm ready for another 20 weeks of rehab training. I need to develop my higher-level reasoning and explore my future of possibilities. ...
For more than two years, my family's life has changed. But with their sacrifices, I'm recovering. However, the problem I'm facing now is financing the rehab training. The insurance dried out with the initial hospitalization and rehab in Iowa. My family helped me with the cost of the two sessions (a year) of the rehab at Rusk Institute ($110,000) and for the living expenses in New York City. But now it is getting harder for my family to support my third session (half a year). My mom had to leave work and come to New York City to live with me. I hope you can help me.
The Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery Drive (T-Bird) Foundation accepts tax-deductible donations made to me. Your donations will make a great difference to my recovery by helping me to pay for my tuition at the Rusk Institute.

Research and Development
Oral Questions
December 13th, 2011 / 2:55 p.m.
Peter Braid Kitchener—Waterloo, ON
Mr. Speaker, our government is committed to making sure that businesses have the tools they need to innovate, to grow, to prosper and create jobs. Last year we launched the applied research and commercialization initiative through FedDev to foster partnerships between post-secondary institutions and businesses in southern Ontario.
Could the Minister of State for Science and Technology and the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario give the House an update on this important program?
Research and Development
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Gary Goodyear Minister of State (Science and Technology) (Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario)
Mr. Speaker, businesses in southern Ontario know full well that our government listens to their needs and then acts. More than 300 small- and medium-size businesses have already partnered with colleges and universities. Therefore, I have announced an extension of the ARC program so that we can continue to fill the gap between industry and the marketplace.
Our government continues to work hard to make sure that businesses have the tools they need to create more jobs, to grow and to keep our economy moving forward.
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Scott Andrews Avalon, NL
Mr. Speaker, in their accountability election platform, the Conservatives promised to require ministers and senior government officials to record their contacts with lobbyists. The Lobbying Commissioner's report is clear that the government broke this promise because it failed to blow the whistle on two well-connected Conservative operatives who used their privileged access to lobby five ministers for nearly $200 million in contracts.
Will the Attorney General finally get tough on Conservative crime and lay criminal charges against Jaffer and Glemaud?
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Parry Sound—Muskoka
Tony Clement President of the Treasury Board and Minister for the Federal Economic Development Initiative for Northern Ontario
Mr. Speaker, as I already indicated, this government put in place some tough laws to ensure lobbying in Canada takes place above board and according to the rules. That is why we referred all meetings that Mr. Jaffer and Mr. Glemaud had not reported to the Lobbying Commissioner for her review. The Lobbying Commissioner was clear in her report that Mr. Glemaud and Mr. Jaffer did not secure any government funding.
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Jinny Sims Newton—North Delta, BC
Mr. Speaker, in 2009 Stephen Watkins from Newmarket, Ontario awoke to his worst nightmare. His two sons, under his full custody, were abducted by their mother and flown to Poland, where they have been held ever since. The fate of these children rests with a Polish judge in a hearing set for this week. We have seen no action from the government for over two years.
Why will the government not support the victims here? What is the government planning to do to bring these children back home for Christmas?
Foreign Affairs
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Calgary Nose Hill
Diane Ablonczy Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas and Consular Affairs)
Mr. Speaker, our government takes cases involving children especially seriously. I thank my colleague for her interest in this case.
Since learning of the situation, our consular officials have been actively supporting Mr. Watkins both in Canada and in Poland. In addition, consular officials have been working with local authorities, the province and the police on this situation. I can assure my colleague that we will continue to be very active to resolve this case.
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
2:55 p.m.
Wladyslaw Lizon Mississauga East—Cooksville, ON
Mr. Speaker, a few weeks ago I attended a citizenship ceremony and I was shocked to learn that people could have their faces covered when swearing the oath of Canadian citizenship and joining our Canadian family. I believe Canadian citizenship is invaluable and I am very happy that the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism acted so quickly to restore integrity to the citizenship process.
Could the minister inform the House of what he is hearing from Canadians in reaction to this important government announcement?
Citizenship and Immigration
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Calgary Southeast
Jason Kenney Minister of Citizenship
Mr. Speaker, first, I want to thank the hon. member for Mississauga East—Cooksville for bringing this matter to my attention. The oath of citizenship and the citizenship ceremony is a solemn and essentially public time when the individual expresses his or her loyalty to Canada in front of fellow citizens.
That is why I clarified yesterday that citizenship applicants will now be required to recite the oath in an open and transparent manner and to do so without being obscured by a face covering. This decision underscores the essentially public nature of the oath. It also underscores our belief in social cohesion and such democratic values as the equality of men and women and our equality before the law.
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Élaine Michaud Portneuf—Jacques-Cartier, QC
Mr. Speaker, airplanes have already started flying at the airport in Neuville. The mayor has been asking to meet with the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities for months now, but the minister refuses and refers him to the province, even though this is a matter of federal legislation and the Supreme Court has confirmed that it takes precedence over protecting agricultural land in Quebec. All that is missing in Neuville is the asphalt on the runway, and then there is no going back.
The people of Neuville have reason to be concerned. This is how the minister reassures them? By refusing to meet with elected officials?
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Denis Lebel Minister of Transport
Mr. Speaker, the developer has of course already signed an agreement with the city of Neuville. The mayor signed an agreement with the developer. That is something. There are thousands of mayors in Canada. We work very hard and I make every effort, but we cannot meet with every mayor who wants to speak with us. A certification was issued. At Transport Canada, we feel it is important to respect our role when it comes to safety. In conclusion, I must say that there is no certification or authorization needed from Transport Canada during the construction phase of an airport. None.
Firearms Registry
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Jean-François Fortin Haute-Gaspésie—La Mitis—Matane—Matapédia, QC
Mr. Speaker, the Conservatives say they are abolishing the firearms registry and destroying the data because this measure is ineffective and costly. Nothing is further from the truth.
Quebec's public safety minister, accompanied by victims and police, reminded us today that it "is useful and essential for crime prevention...to keep the data".
Quebec is even prepared to go to court to defend Quebeckers' right to obtain the data they have already paid for.
Will the minister finally transfer the data to Quebec, or will he have to defend the indefensible in court, before a judge, at taxpayers' expense?
Firearms Registry
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
Maxime Bernier Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism)
Mr. Speaker, we will simply follow through with our election promise. I would like to remind my colleague that the registry that will be destroyed is the long gun registry. With regard to registrations and permit records, which allow police across Canada, including Quebec police, to determine if an individual has the right to have a firearm and thus to prepare themselves accordingly if they are called upon, that registry will remain intact. It is important to understand that the registry has four sections and we are only abolishing the long gun section. The rest will be kept to protect the public.

Telephone Calls to Mount Royal Constituents—Speaker's Ruling
Oral Questions
3 p.m.
The Speaker Andrew Scheer
I am now prepared to rule on the question of privilege raised on November 16, 2011, by the hon. member for Mount Royal regarding the negative impact an organized telephone campaign survey conducted in his constituency has had on his work and reputation.
I would like to thank the hon. member for Mount Royal for having raised this important matter, having responded to the comments of other members and having provided the Chair with additional material in support of his allegations. The Chair would also like to thank the Government House Leader, the House Leader of the Official Opposition and the members for Richmond—Arthabaska, Saanich—Gulf Islands and Humber—St. Barbe—Baie Verte for their comments as well as the member for New Brunswick Southwest for his interventions.
In presenting his case, the hon. member for Mount Royal states that several constituents had contacted him about survey calls they had received from a telephone number identified as Campaign Research Inc., asking if they would support the Conservative Party in the "impending, if not imminent, by-election".
He has also informed the House that similar calls were placed to citizens in the Westmount—Ville-Marie constituency. The hon. member for Mount Royal stated that this telephone campaign led his constituents and other voters to think that he had deserted his post, and overshadowed his parliamentary work. Noting that the House has the right to the services of its members free from intimidation, obstruction and interference, he claimed that the confusion created among his electors was damaging his reputation and his credibility.
In the case before us, no one disputes the fact that there is no pending by-election. Yet the hon. member for Mount Royal explains that he has been put in an ambiguous situation through this telephone campaign. He says:
Simply put, how am I, or any member, to effectively represent a constituency if the constituents are led to believe that the member is no longer their elected representative? How can one correct the confusion and prejudicial damage that has been done in the minds of those who may think I am no longer their representative in Parliament or no longer discharging my duties?
To support his argument, the member cited a ruling of Speaker Bosley, as found on page 4439 of the Debates of May 6, 1985, which states:
It should go without saying that a Member of Parliament needs to perform his functions effectively and that anything tending to cause confusion as to a Member's identity creates the possibility of an impediment to the fulfilment of that Member's functions. Any action which impedes or tends to impede a Member in the discharge of his duties is a breach of privilege.
The Chair finds striking the repeated emphasis that the member has placed on the importance of this issue not only for himself but for all members. This point has also been stressed by other members who intervened. Because of the Chair's primordial concern for the preservation of the privileges of all members, this is a matter worthy of serious consideration. As your Speaker, one of my principal responsibilities is to ensure that the rights and privileges of members are safeguarded, and this is a responsibility I take very seriously.
The member for New Brunswick Southwest argues, on the contrary, that the House should not even be seized of this question because "...it lies outside its authority". He claims that:
—the...conduct of political parties should not be judged by the House or by its members....The best place for this to be judged is among Canadians, not in the House...
The Chair has no doubt that Canadians are indeed judging this matter, just as they are constantly judging this House by what happens here and what is said here and by the attitude that members display toward one another.
It does not matter that the resources of the House of Commons itself were not used to carry on this particular campaign. On this point, let me point out that the rights and immunities of individual members can be breached by a wide range of actions and that such actions are not limited, as has been suggested, to actions taken in the House or actions involving the use of House resources.
At the same time, in listening to the arguments on this question, I have seen that a certain confusion seems to exist with regard to the extent of the powers of the Speaker in dealing with questions of privilege. Several members have ascribed to the Chair seemingly vast powers that neither I nor my predecessors have ever possessed. The role of the Chair is actually very limited, as the hon. member for Mount Royal has himself pointed out, citing O'Brien and Bosc, at page 145:
—the issue put before the Speaker is not a finding of fact, it is simply whether on first impression the issue that is before the House warrants priority consideration over all other matters, all other orders of the day that are before the House.
In cases where a member alleges that he has experienced interference in the performance of his parliamentary duties, the Speaker's task is particularly difficult. As O'Brien and Bosc states at page 111:
It is impossible to codify all incidents which might be interpreted as matters of obstruction, interference, molestation or intimidation and as such constitute prima facie cases of privilege.
Furthermore, in ruling on questions of privilege of this kind, the Chair is obliged to assess whether or not the member's ability to fulfill his parliamentary functions has been undermined. House of Commons Procedure and Practice, second edition, at page 109, notes that my predecessors have stressed the importance of establishing a direct link to parliamentary duties in such cases, stating that:
—rulings have focused on whether or not the parliamentary functions of the Member were directly involved. While frequently noting that Members raising such matters have legitimate grievances, Speakers have consistently concluded that Members have not been prevent from carrying out their parliamentary duties.
In the Bosley decision cited by the member for Mount Royal, the Speaker was confronted with a situation where the former member of Parliament was identified in a print advertisement as the sitting member: the very identity of the sitting member was at issue.
In the case at hand, the Chair is entirely sympathetic to the situation faced by the member for Mount Royal. There is no doubt that he has been bombarded by telephone calls, emails and faxes from concerned and confused constituents. However, the Chair has great difficulty in concluding that the member has been unable to carry out his parliamentary duties as a result of these tactics. The member for Mount Royal has been extremely active in the House and in committee. By raising the matter in the House as he has done, the hon. member has brought attention to a questionable form of voter identification practice and described in detail the negative impact it has had. Indeed, his interventions here in the House on this very question have garnered, as he himself points out, extensive sympathetic coverage in media across the country.
In a ruling delivered on August 12, 1988, Debates, page 18,272, Speaker Fraser stated that:
Past precedents are highly restrictive...and generally require that clear evidence of obstruction or interference with a Member in the exercise of his or her duty be demonstrated in order to form the basis for a claim of a breach of privilege.
Speaker Milliken, in a ruling from February 12, 2009, also stressed this point:
—adjudicating questions of privilege of this kind, the Speaker is bound to assess whether or not the member's ability to fulfill his parliamentary functions effectively has been undermined.
As I considered the member for Mount Royal's case, a second ruling by Speaker John Fraser has resonated particularly for me. On May 5, 1987, Speaker Fraser concluded:
Given all the circumstances in this case, I am sure that the Minister's capacity to function as a Minister and Member of this House is in no way impaired. I point out to honourable Members that this is the real issue of privilege, although there are obviously other matters that surround the particular fact in this case....the Chair has to look very carefully at the exact point of privilege.
In today's case, too, the so-called surrounding matters have given me pause. I am sure that all reasonable people would agree that attempting to sow confusion in the minds of voters as to whether or not their member is about to resign is a reprehensible tactic and that the hon. member for Mount Royal has a legitimate grievance.
I would hope that his airing of this grievance and the discussions this case has provoked—here in the House and in the media—will lead to two results. On the one hand, managers of legitimate exercises in voter identification should be more careful in the information they disseminate to the people they contact. On the other hand, Canadians contacted this way should be more wary and judge more critically any information presented to them by unsolicited callers.
I can understand how the member for Mount Royal and others are seeking relief from the climate of cynicism, not to say contempt, about parliamentary institutions and practice that seem to prevail. But I fear that such relief is not within my gift: the Speaker's powers in these matters are limited, as my predecessors have repeatedly stated.
The words of Speaker Fraser in a ruling of December 11, 1991, seem particularly apt in these circumstances:
The Chair can devise no strategy, however aggressive or interventionist, and can imagine no codification, however comprehensive or strict, that will as successfully protect the Canadian parliamentary traditions that we cherish as will each member's sense of justice and fair play. Especially at this time of crisis of confidence in our parliamentary institutions, our constituents deserve and will tolerate no less.
Accordingly, after studying the precedents in these matters, I am not able on technical grounds to find that a prima facie case of privilege exists in this case.
I would like once again to thank the hon. member for Mount Royal for bringing this serious and important matter to the attention of the House and of Canadians.

|Primary Completion Date:
|October 2006 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Adolescent/caregiver dyads
Eight to ten adolescent/caregiver dyads
Behavioral: Life Skills Intervention
Developed to promote life skills among young adolescents perinatally infected with HIV
Other Name: No other names.
Detailed Description:
One of the salient advantages of this intervention model is that it has been developed and implemented in several studies with adolescents. However, data concerning the effects of this model are much less extensive with adolescents perinatally infected with HIV. The proposed study is designed to address this gap in knowledge by conducting a pilot intervention tailoring the life skills intervention to the needs of young adolescents, perinatally infected with HIV, and to their primary caregivers. Given the emphasis on peer group interaction, the proposed intervention model also has the potential to reduce some of the social isolation imposed by the experiences related to HIV infection by creating opportunities for adolescents to interact with others who are managing comparable stressors and treatment regimens.

|11 Years to 14 Years (Child)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Clinically-identified HIV-1 infected participants 11-14 years of age and their primary caregivers.

PRICE-Our beloved mother, grandmother, sister and friend, Echo Nordell Petersen Judd, age 89, passed away peacefully with family on September 2, 2013 at the Beehive Home in Price. She was born July 12, 1924 in Ferron, Utah to Alban and Delores Swasey Nordell. Married Charles J. Petersen, May 10, 1941 in Price, Utah; he died July 9, 1989. Married Robert Judd, March 1, 1991 in Elko, Nevada; he preceded her in death on August 8, 2011.
Echo was a lifelong resident of Carbon and Emery counties where she worked as a beautician in her home for many years.

Last night, the Millcreek School Board met with auditors to discover that on-leave superintendent Michael Golde allegedly ordered the business manager to bump $5 million from the capital fund to the operating budget in July and return it in October, according to Terry Scutella. Assistant superintendent William Hall didn't believe Golde knew he did anything wrong. Hmm.
This is still clear as mud.
What is clear: Felix & Gloeckler — professional accountants — revealed a lot of ugly truths — the district was short on income and long on expenses — by millions. And the board didn't know any of that or about the $5 million transfer. Sean McCracken of the Erie Times-News reported from the meeting last night that district officials hadn't filed some financial reports since May of 2012. How does a board make financial decisions without financial reports?
Here are a few examples:
Last year, the Erie Times News, in an editorial, cited Pennsylvania Auditor Gen. Jack Wagner's report that Maryann Anderson "grossly abused her position" by spending $91,873 in special education funds on gift cards for employee incentives. The report also criticized sloppy record-keeping for $341,140 in special education spending between 2003 and 2006.
Wagner's report went to the U.S. Attorney's Office, the state Attorney General's Office, the Pennsylvania departments of education and welfare, the state Office of the Budget and the U.S. departments of education and health and human services.
That's not good.
In 2007, Thomas J. Maciulewicz Jr., a former McDowell Intermediate High School principal, sold school property on eBay — a lot of property — about 47 items. He padded his principal's income with an additional $18,430. He also used gift cards.
Sean McCracken of the Erie Times-News also reported early this week that the Millcreek School board realized it needs a "community-minded" administrator. We need more than that — it's time we find leaders who know how to watch the cookie jar and treat taxpayers with respect. My vote goes to Felix & Gloeckler.
Pam Parker is the editor of Lake Erie LifeStyle, Her Times and House to Home at the Erie Times-News in Erie, Pa. She is the mom of three, stepmom to three — all graduates of McDowell High School.

Skip to comments.O-Care 'fix' extends to bare-bones plans (I thought these were garbage plans?)
Posted on 12/19/2013 6:02:59 PM PST by Red in Blue PA
The Obama administration is planning to allow individuals whose health insurance was cancelled under ObamaCare to buy catastrophic plans once intended mainly for young people.
Under the plan, individuals who are unable to renew their current health insurance will be able to purchase bare-bones coverage, according to a source connected with the health industry.
Current rules say that to qualify for a catastrophic plan, individuals must be either under 30 or qualify for a "hardship" exemption. The Obama administration's new guidance will argue that individuals whose 2013 plans were canceled and who determine that other options are not affordable should be able to purchase bare-bones coverage.
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
More chaos!
Rewriting the law......again!
Doesn't being a citizen of the US under the Obama presidency automatically count as a hardship?
The federal government is an unlawful and criminal organization. Rule by executive fiat, a dictatorship, will not end well.
You have to pass it to find out what's in it.
Of course what was in it yesterday may not be in it today,
The fugging thing changes daily, It isn't a law it's a jigsaw puzzle with a carving knife used to make the pieces fit.
More chaos!
Rewriting the law......again"
Chaos is exactly right. They want these insurance companies to turn on a dime and put out a bare bones plan overnight. This is just ludicrous.
This law is invalid anymore. It's been reworked so much it doesn't even resemble the original signed into law.
It should be thrown out, and the people relieved of the illegal obligation, but then that should apply to the President as well.
I think it's a backdoor way to suck the under-30s into the system and trap them there.
The "law" is whatever Emperor Obama deems it to be at the moment.
Make everyone who was affected, whole. Take the monies needed from the still unspent slush fund that was TARP.
Allow Federal income tax deductions for health insurance, just like property taxes and state income taxes.
Good catch - Man, Sean is gonna be busy on his show tonight
Mods, could we move this to Breaking News?
Mods, could we move this to Breaking News?
The man is a genius!
He is the premier "Jackass Savant" of our lifetime.
Good grief libs, get a damn clue for once in your life.
Actually, this is nothing new. He is just nmaking more fake news to try to look good. But, it is already written into the Unaffordable Care Act that those under 30 and those whose premiums would be more than 8% of one's income are eligible for catastrophic policies. However, since I fall into the latter category, I explained this to the insurance company (Coventry One) from whom I hoped to buy insurance. They were clueless, and had no idea that a catastrophic policy was supposed to be one of my options. Of course, silly me, I was dealing directly with an insurance company, not going onto the government website. I'm sure THAT would have solved the problem! LOL
Of course, even the bare bones plans require contraception coverage.
Yet another 'fix'?
Just scrap it. Kill it off. Get rid of it.
And, get FedGov out of the doctor's office, and our back pockets.
Apparently they made this announcement via blog post. Talking about it now on Megyn Kelly.
4 days to go and Obama tosses a Hail Mary.
"Bare-bone catastrophic coverage" = exemption from complying with Obamacare for everyone who lost their insurance. All you have to do is say you can't afford the "affordable" plan and you can have the crappy plan.
And who says these crappy plans are any more "affordable"? More kabuki theater, more lies, and more incompetence from the Obamanation.
Making it up as they go.
The Won is off to Hawaii tomorrow — will he give a press conference Friday? Or just sneak out of town with his 500 person entourage.
"The federal government is an unlawful and criminal organization. Rule by executive fiat, a dictatorship, will not end well."
Just wanted to re-make your point.
A box of Band Aids and a bottle of H2O2?
Once again the king has spoken. And his word is law.
There not what you think..Some guy on Kelly Files they cost as much as a bronze plan but you get less..its from the government there out to screw you..they are making the old insurance companies look like gold
Obamacare, the legacy of THE WON.
Let's get some lipstick on this pig!
Just yesterday evening, at our local good-ol-boys round table salon and tête-à-tête in our country propane and hay store, we were reviewing possible future scenarios regarding the devolution of obamacare and obama. I posited the following:
1. That if the Republicans just twiddled their thumbs about pretty much everything for next 3-4 months, obamacare would come so unraveled that the Democrats would beg the Republicans to save them, and that regardless of any legislative changes that might be made in a bipartisan fashion, obama would veto it all, preferring to see the complete destruction of the medical system and the needless deaths of hundreds of thousands as well as the total destruction of the Democrat Party for at least two generations.
2. That it was highly likely that obama would soon totally panic over the chaos wrought by obamacare and descend into utter lawlessness by attempting to govern completely by diktat. There was also a reasonable probability that obama's attempted dictatorship would become so severe that Congress would be forced to initiate impeachment.
It would appear that this second prediction is already starting to occur.
Anyone knows the details of these new plans yet? Premiums, deductibles, limits, coverage?
Erick Erickson will be hosting for Rush tomorrow, so it should be good listening.
Those are the best plans Obamacare has in the regard that they actually are insurance. They would make sense for a single 20-30 somethings. Pair them with some type of gap plan and it wouldn't be bad for other folks too.
"This law is invalid anymore. "
It really rather kind of is. There are so many exceptions, "fixes," waivers, and, so on that the law really doesn't have a meaning anymore. I don't know how insurers manage it. I don't now how the IRS enforces it.
Some posit that single-payer is waiting in the wings but I don't know how such a thing would even get a breath in Congress after this. What's the pitch? "You know that last really great utopian health care fix we passed that, um, er, was supposed to cost you less and make your life better? Well, it didn't work and now we want to take even more of your money and even more power over you to fix the problems we made with the last big fix. Totes for real."
They're heading for ruining the government's credibility with the masses on the issue and also destroying the private health insurance market at the same time. End result? We may be heading back toward cash-for-services doctors. They may have strangled their own golden goose.
I'm sure they'll just change up the smoothly written, fully functioning code at healthcare.gov to get right on that.
By December 23, of course.
Sounds about right. Good commentary.
Did they give these plans a name yet?
They now have Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum plans. Is this the Rotting Wood plan?
Going back to "cash for services," would be the one biggest, single change to effectively rein in the cost of healthcare.
Frankly, there has long been discussion that the only kind of health insurance should be these catastrophic type plans.
You don't have car insurance to buy gas or get the oil changed.
"Doesn't being a citizen of the US under the Obama presidency automatically count as a hardship?"
Only if you're in a 'targeted-for-more-hardships' group. You know....Christian, Conservative and especially rich, white male.
"Is this the Rotting Wood plan?"
No, it's the Fiber Board (soon to be Card Board) plan. Stay tuned for the Crumpled Paper plan (the end result and goal all along).
What part of "the Obama leftists seek to destroy the USA" are people too stupid to comprehend?
The insurance companies have already done all of their number crunching with these plans being illegal - Obama just roasted their actuarial balance.
And he did it by changing the law unilaterally - again.
Instead of 3 plans there are actually 4:
Dirt(as in, that's what they'll be shovel(ready job)ing on you.
Can anyone tell me how the government is going to know whether or not you have insurance? Are you supposed to provide proof when you file your tax return? What if you file online? Will the insurance company require your SS number and report it to the government?
There isn't a single insurance company in America that would walk into this mess. It's the slowest and most deliberate business base in the nation. If you introduced a new scenario....typically, it's at least six months of discussion and analysis before a meeting of the executives where they approve or accept the change.
Again, for 500th time, I'll point out that no one on the Administration staff has ever worked in industry or real business. If they had....they would know the processes that businesses use to be successful. Nothing ever happens overnight.
This costs insurance companies MILLIONS every time he does this.... This will put them out of business.... Which is THE PLAN
Sure it all includes birth control pills, IUDs, mammograms, maternity care, pedicatric vision and dental.....
None of which can my 29 year old single SON use
but even his bare bones plan has to cover all that
I got him the catastrophic only plan, and it is twice the price it was last year, he has never been sick, never filed a claim... THIS IS CRAZY
None of them allow you to go to MD Anderson or mayo Clinic. None of them include MS drugs. Etc etc etc. None of them include any kind of real treatments for actual illnesses
Some companies offer discount plans for people who wish to pre-pay for periodic maintenance; they get the guarantee of having the customer use them instead of someone else, and in exchange they charge the customer less than the normal retail rate. There's nothing inherently wrong with such plans--the only thing that's wrong is pretending they're "insurance".

Why does Catfish insist on telling me the scenario repeatedly after every commercial break
. I get it and even people coming in late will get it. It is not like the premise ever changes that much.
That show hasn't been on in 3 weeks—-they replaced it with Teen Mom 2!ReplyCancel
I loooove the show but I really want to see a catfish gone wrong. Where the person getting catfished actually has a real reaction. Not the nice and polite reaction we see but an angry beat the @$$ response.ReplyCancel
The people who watch MTV are morons and the execs know it?ReplyCancel
This can go for any reality show everReplyCancel
I had a friend who was catfished. The woman was almost ten years older, had a completely different job, and lied about not living with her mom. They met up, she met his friends and family. He figured she just looked a little older for her age. Finally when he kept bringing up why she wouldn't have him over, she fessed up.ReplyCancel
I've been Catfished here—I thought I met my true love Brody Jenner here- turned out to be a chick. a cool chick nonetheless but a chick. gross ; )ReplyCancel
When Dr. Phil has on women that have been catfished scammed to the tune of 265k plus, it's a train wreck I had to watch! Amazeballs how gullible and naive these women are. And desperate, which is actually really sad. Giving money to a man they've never met????? One dude even said his name was Max Moose!- the fake photo he was using had an army soldier in his fatigues and his nickname "Moose" was embroidered on the pocket. So the foreign dude thought that was the last name. He called himself "Mr Moose" even.ReplyCancel
Well Derek, apparently u not missing much.ReplyCancel
yall like my new Avi picture—it is Nene Leakes destroying a Hermes bag with her stupid sayings like "I AM VERY RICH" and "BLOOP" and the oh so brilliant "I LOVE GAYS" —that she wrote in magic marker to sell for "charity" aka her bank accountReplyCancel
@Sugar—haha close your legs to married men is a classic though—cant deny thatReplyCancel
I'm surprised Nene knows how to write @DerekReplyCancel
That is so weird. Magic marker handbag?!
I want to watch the "Catfishing" documentary (the one that started the MTV show). Crazy fascinating.ReplyCancel
If you're catfishethen you are most likely a desperate idiot who lacks social skills…ReplyCancel
Derek you crack me up.ReplyCancel
@Pazazz—jealous! I only get to say shit like that to my catReplyCancel
@Omar thanks : )ReplyCancel
Can't beat "Trashbox!"ReplyCancel
This is a tact that WAAAAAY to many shows use as filler. Into commercial break they tell you what they are going to tell you and out of commercial breaks they tell you what they told you.
Guessing #s here, but in a half hour you get 3 commercial breaks totaling 8minutes, so 22 minutes of show. Then take away 20 seconds of preview/review in & out of commercials and you cut the content you actually need to around 20minutes.
2minutes doesn't seem like much, but it is forever when you are trying to stretch out a turd, and probably saves a lot of production time since the in/outs are basically the same as the commercials, just packaged a lil different.ReplyCancel
@syf I saw the Max Moose episode!! That was the day I got hooked on Dr Phil but I really only hope for more cat fishing episodes. Those old ladies are so sad!! They're proud enough that at age 60 they got their first computer and learn how to email. No way they can learn to do a google image search or really dig and research the person. It's so sad and I can't stop watching. I love when Dr Phil Busts the scanner on the air!ReplyCancel
I love Catfish but what I hate is at the very beginning they give way too much teaser and give away the best part. Now I ff through that and start when Nev and Max are in front of their laptop.ReplyCancel
I'm not entirely sure what catfish is. The only kind I know is the one my brother caught (and scared the hell out of him) when we were little.ReplyCancel

Not as cheap as what other's mentioned
"I am only writing this review to say that the material used on these shoes (or atleast the pair that I got) does not look as cheap as what other reviewers mentioned. These are cheap boots, so no, they weren't made with a fine quality leather (which I can only guess is what the other reviewers were expecting). However, I do have to return, because the boot comes up a little too high for my taste and make my long legs look short and stumpy."

Great for the price!
"I will admit, this shoe is not the best quality when you look at it up close; however, it is a cute boot for the price. Runs a little long but it was not a big deal for me at all. Pretty comfortable also. I love wearing these with skinny jeans, leggings or short skirts/dresses! The possibilities really are endless."

"I was unsure about these shoes because I read some of the reviews that said that they looked inexpensive. I think that they are definitely worth the money that I paid for them! I have worn them a few times since they shipped to my home and they look cute with jeans. Also, the heel is perfect because it is not too tall and gives a very casual look. The only thing that I do not like is that you have to deal with the buckles to take them on and off. I wish they had zippers like some of my other boots."

"These boots are awesome, I bought them in cognac, simply beautiful color. They work well with jeans and leggings. I also love the wide calf, I have extremely big calfs almost 16 inches and these boots left room to wear boot socks. These will be my go to boots this year. The first weekend I wore them I received multiple compliments asking where can I purchase them....."

Jaguar boot (regular calf)
"I'M IN LOOOVE WITH THIS BOOTS! they are perfect! I got the regular calf, not wide calf. I'm 5'2 and 110 lbs, and my calves are very thin and I always have problems getting riding boots. These boots are perfect since you can adjust them to your calves with no problem. I cannot wait for the Fall to finally wear them. They are prettier in person than in the online pics."

Comments: I got these shoes because I wanted something that was supportive yet lightweight and low heel toe drop. This shoe fit all of those criteria and were also a good price. They are very responsive to all sorts of workouts, cruises, hill sprints and repeats on the track. They are so comfortable and require no break in period. I am a high school xc and track runner, but I also used this for various field events at practice. I would say that it is highly durable for normal running use, but as for me, they barely lasted two months. Like my kinvara3s the cortana2 developed a rip right under the saucony logo on the posterior side near my small toe. I think that may have come from lateral movements during drills. Besides this issue, the cortana 2 is a very good shoe, like a more cushy kinvara. It felt fast and I ran a very good 5k cruise in it (18:41). I upper is very breathable and stretchy. The tread pattern wore down very quickly, it probably lasted me 3-4 of hard use until the rubber sole wore down to the foam. I would still highly recommend this shoe and would get it again for regular running
From: Dan, Staten Island, New York
Comments: Before getting the Cortana 2 I had been alternating between Adidas Rockets, Nike Lunar Montreal, Nike Lunar Racer 2, and Adidas Adios 2 in my training. As I want to get up to 60-70mpw in my training, and I saw the Cortana had only the 4mm heel offset, I was intrigued by them. So I was waiting for the Cortana 2 to go on clearance, and now that they did, I got a pair. I've had them a week and put in runs of 7, 5.4, 6.2, 9, and 7 in them. So here's the review: As I tried them on the first time I was struck by how padded the tongue was. I wasn't sure if I'd like that, but I haven't noticed it on the run. Yay, the toebox is roomy. The collar on the outer ankle side is a little too high and hits my ankle bone, but fortunately it is soft enough that I haven't noticed it on the runs. This has the thickest insole I have ever seen; it's about 3/8". (If someone thinks to get these and take out the insole, I think that would make these huge and also make the ankle collar even higher.) The other noticeable things are that the sole is a bit rockered underneath the forefoot. The sole, also mostly in the forefoot is very flared. The construction is flawless. So far they have been great to run in. They definitely soften the impact without being mushy at all; that is, they have some rebound to them. You can run fast in them. I'll give them 4.5 out of 5 stars.
From: Glen, Moorestown, NJ, USA
Comments: I have run in the asics nimbus 12's and 14's for the last 4 years and I wanted to go more towards a zero drop but not sacrifice cushioning. These shoes are awesome. I put in 35 miles my first week in them with a 15 miler on saturday and I am very happy. My only complaint is I have a skinny foot and I had to cinch the laces all the way down to get a good fit. I purchased some sol air insoles which are a thicker insole and that made for a better fit. I would highly recommend this shoe. I will see how they fair for my first marathon in them in may.
From: Ryan Rich, Hooper, Utah, USA
Comments: I have the tendency to research stuff to death so when I ordered these shoes simply off the reviews of the previous Cortana and the knowledge that Saucony always works to improve their products I was way outside of my comfort zone. Lucky for me my first run in the Cortana 2 put me right back in my comfort zone. These shoes are AMAZING! Granted I've only run in them twice (4 and 6 miles) and won't go for a long run until this weekend. The upper holds my foot in place but feels like a glove. It's flexible, can't feel any seems, and breathable. I can tell the ride is plush enough for comfort on the long runs but also responsive enough for tempo runs. I would highly recommend this shoe. I know it's a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. I'm going to buy another pair just to wear around the house....slipper style!

Students on Ice Arctic Expedition 2013
We are about to leave for Kangerlussuaq, Greenland, where we board a ship that will be our home for the next two weeks. This year's Students on Ice itinerary is to head north along the Greenlandic coast to Uummannaq, a small community that is celebrating its 250th anniversary. From there we turn west and cross the Davis Strait to Baffin Island and then travel through Lancaster Sound and the Northwest Passage to Resolute, the second most northerly community in the country, before flying back to Iqaluit and Ottawa. All of this depends on the ice conditions and current, of course. A quick check of the Canadian Ice Service charts shows that some parts of the route may have to be altered.
But no problem: Students on Ice's motto is "flexibility is the key". If there's ice, we will simply change the route.
The students are an interesting lot, as usual. Some have travelled a great deal. Some have never left home before. There are about 30 students from the Canadian Arctic, a couple from Greenland, two each from Norway and Monaco, a bunch from Switzerland and an assortment of Americans. As well as kids from across Canada - from Newfoundland in the east (which is well represented this year) to the west coast.
During the trip, the students will learn about glaciology, oceanography, biology and palaeontology (there is a plan to visit Dinosaur Valley on Bylot Island, on the north tip of Baffin Island for a legally sanctioned fossil hunt - all permits are in place). Students will also learn about the impact of climate change and pollution in the Arctic, Arctic geopolitics, organize a mock Arctic Council and spend a lot of time on deck looking for birds, whales, walrus, polar bears and maybe even narwals.
Students on Ice provides a unique floating classroom. It's an opportunity for young people who are beginning to think about their future directions to experience a part of the world few get to visit. And they make the journey with people who do live there. There are a number of Inuit leaders and elders on board, including former Arctic Council Ambassador Mary Simon. The Inuit perspective on history and contemporary issues is woven throughout the educational programme.
The combination of Inuit students with those from other parts of the country and the world provides a unique mix of experience and expectations. Teenagers are teenagers, of course, so it doesn't take long for the group to resemble a large and rather noisy family.
This is my fourth Arctic trip with SOI and I'm looking forward to connecting with these young people and watching them as they experience this incredible part of the planet. There is a truism that when it comes to climate change, what happens in the Arctic doesn't stay in the Arctic. This might also apply to the students, too, who will take their experiences back into their lives and different worlds. SOI provides the kind of experience that can be formative and life changing. At least that's the goal.
The planned route for the Students on Ice trip.

Solving JDeveloper 11gR2 issue with ADF Faces login page in IE8
By Frank Nimphius-Oracle on Mar 01, 2012
Using the ADF Security "ADF Authentication" option configures the web.xml descriptor to protect the application Java EE context root from unauthenticated access.
<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>allPages</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> <auth-constraint> <role-name>valid-users</role-name> </auth-constraint> </security-constraint>
The valid user role name is mapped in the weblogic.xml file and references the WLS users group that all authenticated users are an implicit member of.
<security-role-assignment> <role-name>valid-users</role-name> <principal-name>users</principal-name> </security-role-assignment>
Protecting the application Java EE root path from unauthenticated access however also means that web resources like pictures or styles sheets, or deferred loaded JavaScript libraries, are blocked until the user has authenticated. For the same reason customers often report missing images on their web login pages.
Investigating the problem, the following solution has been found by the ADF Faces team: ADF Faces UIs require additional resources that are loaded through the Trinidad resource loader servlet configured in web.xml file.
To allow resources to be loaded when using login forms built with ADF Faces ( in which case the JSF page contains a HTML login form) you need to add another security constraint definition to the web.xml file:
<security-constraint> <web-resource-collection> <web-resource-name>Allowed ADF Resources</web-resource-name> <url-pattern>/adf/*</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/afr/*</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/bi/*</url-pattern> </web-resource-collection> </security-constraint>
The above security constraint should do for most of the login pages you would build with ADF Faces. However, if the login screen is more complex and e.g contains DVT graphs or maps, you may have to add more url-patterns for public (anonymous access), like
<url-pattern>/servlet/GraphServlet/*</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/servlet/GaugeServlet/*</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/mapproxy/*</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/adflib/</url-pattern>
In my JDeveloper 11g R2 test-case project, I ended up with three security-constraint definitions added to the web.xml file: "Allowed ADF Resources", "allPages" and "AdfAuthentication".
Always place the "Allowed ADF Resources" security constraint definition first in the web.xml file so it is looked at before all the others are so it takes precedence.
Note that both, the web.xml file and the weblogic.xml file open a visual configuration editor when you double click onto the respective file shown in the JDeveloper Application Navigator (Web Content à WEB-INF folder in the ViewController project.

Preparing your home for sale in a challenging economy requires time, elbow grease and a discerning eye. Many new buyers are entering the market and looking for deals, so competition among home sellers can be fierce. The key to a quick sale at the highest price, according to experts at the American Society of Home Inspectors, is preparation. Here's a checklist for preparing your home for a successful sale.
Create space: Most people buy homes because they need more room for a growing family, so the more "space" it appears you have, the higher the price you're likely to get. To create more space, even in a small house, de-clutter rooms and eliminate excess furniture (all extras that you want in your next home can be moved to a rented storage space). Then clean out your garage, basement and other areas that buyers will want for their own storage.
Maximize and neutralize: After cleaning, it's time to paint. Professional relocation firms use this technique with houses they have to sell quickly. Once the seller's moving van clears the corner, they immediately paint all rooms off-white and install a low-grade, tan wall-to-wall carpet. You may not want to purchase new carpet, but preparing your home with a fresh paint job will go a long way to attracting buyers. It's easier to imagine a new baby's room when you're looking at cleanly painted walls instead of the grunge or day-glo orange left by the previous teenage occupant.
All systems go: The next step in preparing your home for sale is to get your mechanical systems serviced by qualified contractors. It's generally not expensive but is extremely important. Service your air conditioning system, clean your furnace, repair plumbing leaks, and repair any electrical switches or outlets that are not working. Fix any minor problems before they become major ones.
Outside check: Once you're finished inside the house, do a little work to freshen up the exterior. Replace broken windows, repair rotted trim, cut back trees that are too close to the house and make sure your landscaping looks neat.
Inspection plus: A professional home inspector can offer valuable expert help in the pre-sale process. Buyers usually want their own inspection, but you'll be far ahead of the game by getting an impartial expert check your house beforehand. An inspector can provide lists of needed repairs and, most importantly, give you an early warning of any potentially major problems likely to creep up when a buyer's inspector gets involved. There's nothing worse than bargaining down to your last dollar on the sale of your house, only to find out later that your furnace is shot and the buyer wants you to pay for a new one.
Soap is cheap: Experts say a clean house can lead to a quicker sale, so don't skimp on this part of your preparation process. People aren't buying a home, they're buying a lifestyle, so if they can't imagine themselves in the home because it's grungy, dusty or cluttered, the home becomes much harder to sell. So when preparing your home for sale, get a broom, sponges and empty it out. Soap is cheap!

By SANDRINE ORABONALos AngelesCalif
"He and his partner never rallied against anyone, they lived their lives very quietly. They had a life partnership."
I have lived my personal life and my life with my partner in this way for some time now: quietly, in a way that clearly makes you and other people around me comfortable with my "lifestyle." I tried to "fit in" and cause as little hassle as possible, resigned to the fact that some people around me could be comfortable with the word "partner" or that my family would introduce her as "my friend."
Comfortable. The operative word. Were it not for the passage of this proposition, I would most likely have continued to live in this way.
The vote on Nov. 4 shows me that a majority of people in this liberal state are still not comfortable enough with who I am, let alone the ones who live outside of it, and that my silence does nothing to help that. I have tried to understand, I have been in and out of blogs and commentaries that explain the point of view of proponents of Proposition 8 and they leave me with feelings from disbelief to downright outrage.
The vote, these websites and articles such as yours simply energize me out of complacency and onto the streets. And they motivate me beyond that to wondering how much more I can do in order to stop the silence and generate change.
So Patsy, I thank you and others like you for getting me out of my comfort zone.

It looks as if Lindsay Lohan's fans haven't forgiven her for screwing up her latest chance to turn things around—that is, when she missed her Ellen taping last week. Over the weekend, a funny trending topic made its way up the Twitter ranks: #LohansNextJob, which had users guessing at how LiLo will try to mend her tattered reputation.
These jokes are all great, referencing Charlie Sheen, Courtney Stodden, and Lindsay's increasingly regular hobby of community service. I think what cements it is these were all people who at one point had some hope that Lindsay would decide to hold on to talent instead of coke; the inherent disappointment is what makes these land.

Would You Like Some Green Moo With Those Cheerios?
Green beer and green bagels are staples when celebrating St. Patrick's Day, at least here in New York. But now in celebration of St Patrick's Day, The Cereal Bowl, a cafe in Miami Florida, will be serving green colored milk along with their Cheerios
"We are very excited about finding a unique and fun way to celebrate St Patrick's Day at The Cereal Bowl. We have seen green beer before at local bars, so we thought why not milk at a Cereal Bar"
Chief Operating Officer Michael Glassman
The Cereal Bowl is a new breed of cafe fusing an old time favorite with a new twist; guests are able to make their own cereal creations or pick from one of many unique combinations created by The Cereal Bowl Team. The green milk will be available in both Whole and Skim milk and will be served all this weekend.

Brown can be highly productive inside working off the hash. That is where he belongs...Working under the X or opposite. Brown outisde doesn't force a S to the hash...He plays CF.
I hope that some good times from some of the smaller guys pushes a big guy down to the Steelers, maybe in the second. A tall, fast WR would be great, but I would sacrifice a bit on speed to find a big WR that presents matchup difficulties and that compliments Brown.
Stedman Bailey is IMO the best receiver in the draft if you are looking for an outside receiver. He doesn't have the blazing speed but he has great body control and catches everything thrown at him. He understands how to run routes as well. Tavon Austin is the best play maker in the draft but he is not an outside receiver. Put him in our system in place of Rainey and watch the points go up.
Here We Go Steelers!
1. Andrew Billings NT Baylor
2. Karl Joseph SS WVU
3. Sterling Shepard WR Oklahoma
4. Jonathan Jones CB Auburn
6. Nick Kwiatkoski ILB WVU
7. Dean Lowry DE Northwestern
7. Deon Bush S Miami
Still think Hopkins may be the best WR is this draft.
Very productive in college
Good size 6'1+
Great Hands. Mayock said he probably has the best hands in the draft. He made a great catch on a very low pass at the combine.
He FIGHTS for the ball and catches it at it's HIGHEST point with this hands (not his body) <---- Something Mike Wallace could learn from
Decent (not great) speed 4.5 flat.
- Charles Harris-OLB, Missouri
- Rasul Douglas-CB, West Virginia
- Chris Godwin-WR, Penn State
- John Johnson-S, Boston College
- James Conner-RB, Pitt
- Nazair Jones-DT, North Carolina

2005 Superbowl winning receivers: Hines Ward, Antwan Randle-El, Cedrick Wilson.
Just saying.
Here comes the BOOM!
