Bad news for jumpfans (Naruto, One Piece, Bleach,...)
Bad news for jumpfans (Naruto, One Piece, Bleach,...)
Well that sucks! Oh well, I guess all we have left is Mangazones scans and whoever decides to pick up the all those series. I got a feeling whoever brought down their forums snitch them out.
Manga reading list: Bleach, Naruto, Katekyo Hitman Reborn, One Piece, Code Breaker, Gamaran, Kuroko No Basket, Fairy Tail, The World God Only Knows, Kimi No Iru Machi, Good Ending, Medaka Box, Nisekoi, D.Gray-Man, Ao No Exorcist, Freezing, Magi - Labyrinth of Magic, Soul Eater, Rosario Vampire Season II, Iris Zero, Ubell Blatt, Bloody Cross, Sun-Ken Rock, and Infinite Stratos,
Where's Sleepy Fans? Now that was a rhetorical question, but I went to the Viz media web page just to see what they are offering to fans. It appears that they are only now just selling Volume 58 while regular Fansub is entering vol 60. A quick look at the comments of posters who buy the Manga from them seems to show some dissatisfaction with their translations. Something inside me now wonders whether Viz Media cares for the Fan, or the Maga itself, as much as fansubbers do/did.
I also wonder whether we'll end up in a situation where Manga are distributed as Torrents?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
@Paulbee, the scanlators/fansubbers has always cared for the fans way more than Viz media. They all care for is the money, it's business anyway.
ps: hope they pick up HSDK again.
sig made by me
well ofc Viz media cares more for the money as it is a business which is why ppl tend to use the scanlators/fansubbers because they make the best product for the fans, so why spend money on an inferior product, thats just stupid, so Viz media has prolly used the easy way out, and demanded that mangastream stop instead of actually putting some effort into their own products.
also as Jaiden said, it does smell like some1 snitched on them, from what ive heard there were some1 of their higher ups that erased their forums, it would make sense if it was him tbh but in any case it is a bit worrisome as mangastream was the main source of manga for many sites and hopefully some of the other scanlators will pick it instead which im sure that there will be.
I hope someone picks it up REALLY QUICKLY, like Next Week, and distribute by torrents so the Viz Medias etc can ...@#$%^&*
That's what I think about it.
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
What a steep drop in terms of quality releases.
Damn it.
Found out about this in a Skype call. I've never heard so much crying and anger at once.

Extremely Comfortable and Good for any occasion!
"I usually don't wear this style of shoes since I've bought a pair similar to this before and the back of the shoes would cut into my foot. But I saw these and decided to give it a second try. THEY HAVE CHANGED MY PERSPECTIVE ON THE STYLE. I absolutely love this pair!The rubber soles on the bottom are extremely comfortable and add a wonderful cushion and support to your walk. I walked around all day on a tour and not once did my feet feel sore, which is surprising! It is a bit of a slim fit but I didn't have a problem with-still was roomy for me.If you want to just talk about comfort, this pair definitely is comfortable!But as a bonus, the silver/white/gold/bronze of the shoe make it a very versatile pair that could be worn with a variety of outfits and colors. It's a very casual yet stylish pair that makes it a wonderful spring/summer pairing to your outfits!"

Birobidzhan Bar and Bat Mitzvahs Create Community and Leaders
About 5,000 miles east of Moscow, in a remote part of Siberia once designated by Joseph Stalin as a new home for Russia's Jews, 29 young people celebrated their bar and bat mitzvahs last month during a JDC-supported family retreat.
The event, held in the small and historic city of Birobidzhan, was coordinated by JDC and made possible by the continued support and tireless efforts of JDC board member Elaine Berke.
The annual ceremony, held for the eighth time this summer, is "the central event in the life of the Jewish communities in Siberia and the Russian Far East," says Boris Boguslavsky, director of JDC's office in the region.
"Elaine had her bat mitzvah ceremony when she was 60 years old, showing that age can't be an obstacle," he says. "With constant support from family and friends, Mrs. Berke gives children a chance to feel what she was able to go through only at 60."
Polina Katsman, who also took part in the bar/bat Mitzvah ceremony in 2008, returned to Birobidzhan this summer to help a new crop of young Jews.
"There is no exact age set for becoming an adult. The youth that came here are different – some are 12, some are 21," she says. "I want to tell [participants] that there is a reason why you are feeling great excitement — it means that each one of you is coming closer to the ancient wisdom of the Torah and the Jewish people, and you recognize that."
Boguslavsky said many former participants go on to become Jewish leaders in the region.
"An important factor is a link between generations," he said. "The participants who had their bar/bat mitzvah in 2008 have become the madrichim (counselors) and the main driving force of the Jewish communities in the Far East."
That's true for Kirill Sakhmanov, who celebrated his bar mitzvah in Birobidzhan in 2008 and is now the Hillel director for Khabarovsk, a city of almost 600,000 in far eastern Russia, near its border with China.
"After the camp in 2008, I realized that I wanted to do something for the Jewish community in my city," he said. "This project helped us create a group of active young people for whom working for the community isn't something forced but something that becomes the work of their lives."
Vadim Katsman, director of the Mizrakh Jewish community in Khabarovsk, said the continuing service fostered by Elaine Berke's vision is what makes the Birobidzhan program so important.
"In this camp, we are building the future of our community. This is where young Jewish leaders are born that will lead the community tomorrow," he says. "The fire that was lit during the ceremony does not go out but goes on to shine even brighter."Subscribe to our RSS feed: Feature Stories – JDC Around the World

The Promega ReliaPrep™ Large Volume HT gDNA Isolation System, integrated on the Tecan Freedom EVO®- HSM workstation, provides a unique and dependable system for isolating genomic DNA from blood fractions derived from 2.5ml - 10ml of whole blood. The combination of Promega's ReliaPrep HSM 32 LV instrument, which provides heating, shaking and magnetization of samples at one deck position, the Freedom EVO®- HSM workstation and the ReliaPrep Large Volume HT gDNA Isolation System allows automated recovery of pure gDNA from 32 blood fraction samples in any combination of sample volumes allowed for each sample type within 4 hours.
Here we present verification studies demonstrating automated system performance from whole blood, buffy coats, red cell pellets, and all cell pellets. Comparisons between the Freedom EVO®- HSM workstation and a standard precipitation-based method were made for quadruplicate blood samples from multiple donors. Yield, purity, and integrity of extracted gDNA were assessed using UV absorbance spectroscopy and gel electrophoresis. Genomic DNA yields from normal 10ml whole blood samples were 200 to 400μg (depending on white blood cell count) in an eluted volume of 1ml. DNA yields for all cell pellets and buffy coats were similar to the corresponding whole blood yields while red cell pellet yields reflected the effect of the white blood cell removal. Recovered DNA exhibited good purity with A260/A280 ratios greater than 1.7 and A260/A230 ratios between 1.8 and 2.2. Isolated DNA was suitable for storage and was used in multiple downstream applications.

Skip to comments.Senate rejects background checks on gun purchases in 54-46 vote
Posted on 04/17/2013 1:52:45 PM PDT by Nachum
The Senate delivered a devastating blow to President Obamas agenda to regulate guns Wednesday by defeating a bipartisan proposal to expand background checks. It failed by a vote of 54 to 46, with 5 Democrats voting against it. Only 4 Republicans supported it. Democratic Sens. Mark Pryor (Ark.), Max Baucus (Mont.), Heidi Heitkamp (N.D.), Mark Begich (Alaska) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) voted against it. Reid supported the measure but voted against it to preserve his ability to bring the measure up again. GOP Sens. John McCain (Ariz.), Susan Collins (Maine), Pat Toomey (Pa.) and Mark Kirk
(Excerpt) Read more at thehill.com ...
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
For once, Boehner actually implemented a strategy that worked. He let the Senate duke it out, water it down and still fail to get the votes. Hopefully, we see this hold up and avoid any legislation at all out of the Senate.
After a non-stop pummeling from politicians everywhere and the media every. single. day., the people still prvailed. After all the sympathy plays with the children, the parents of dead children, and of course Gabby Gifford, senators were still not swayed.
This is an utter failure for the left. The bill they pulled out of their "waiting for an opportunity" drawer when they heard that shots were fired in a school, is going down to defeat!
Boston bombing, perhaps?
Did it wake people up to the fact that government can't and won't protect us?
Woo hoo!!
Possibly. Whatever stiffened repulican spines, most did not buckle. Just the usual turncoats and Toomey of course.
I am so looking forward to seeing the treasonous Toomey getting his @ss handed to him when he gets primaried.
And to Obozo's never letting a "good crisis go to waste." About 6 months too late - some people are recognizing their mistake, and the pathetic pandering of Zero's minions to take advantage of tragedies has worn out its welcome.
46 traitors in the United States Senate.
Ok, good news. Now, WHERE IS THE AMMO???
My Lord, CONGRATULATIONS everybody!
(let's keep a list of those 46 traitor votes to violate our constitutional rights, so we can replace them all in the next election!)
No Amo few guns on the market as well. Glad I stocked up on amo last summer.
It's a long standing Senate rule........
Rep. John W. Patman added: "The people have a right to keep arms; therefore, if we should have some Executive who attempted to set himself up as dictator or king, the people can organize themselves together and, with the arms and ammunition they have, they can properly protect themselves. . . ."
There were 54 "traitor" votes...and we WILL keep a list of those names.
Joe, if you have an RKBA ping list, kindly add me?
We know Collins and Mclame are exiting anyway - but this should pretty-much end the political career of Toomey.
When ammo's cheap, stack it deep.
The *REALLY* good stuff has been put away for a rainy day.
So far they are only showing the roll call of votes for the Manchin Amendment and the Grassley Amendment (click on the vote number, left column). . .
RE: Harry Reid voted against it.
This guy is such a blowhard.
Just a while ago, before the voting started, he said this:
"Voting To Save Lives Is 'More Important Than Preventing Imagined Tyranny'"
Apparently he is against background checks but not against the ban on assault weapons...
Actually 55, as Dingy Harry voted against it only to retain the right to bring it back up later.
He voted against it in an attempt to save his NRA rating.
I've written SEVERAL strongly-worded letters to the NRA in recent weeks explaining that if this guy maintains an A-rating by their standards, then they are not an organization I wish to support. Reid is a wolf in sheep's clothing, it's VERY obvious to see that.
The NRA gets up to $1,000 from me every year. That'll be cut back to $0.00 if they let these traitors ride in the ratings.
Haha... Now when the Republicans amendments come up and the Rats kill it, it will be the Rats who killed the gun grab bill.
Everyone knew this was going to happen. It will fade quietly into the memory hole by the media.
Not to worry they'll be back with their point.08 solution which will generate big money and aid in creating "offenders" felons if their caught again.
FWIW, Toomey is getting excoriated on his Facebook page. Lol!
Under Senate rules, someone who was on the winning side of a vote can later move to have that vote reconsidered. Someone on the losing side cannot ask for reconsideration. Hence Reid's tactical vote against, so he can bring the bill up again if he thinks enough votes have shifted to pass it.
It would be interesting to know if more than five Senators actually read the bill.
President Obama is just on the wrong side of history. Only 4% of the public think gun control is important and historical data shows with all the bureaucracy and gun control nonsense that they are not doing much better than was being done in the 1920s. This gun control nonsense is like so many leftist bailiwicks where they offer false solutions that don't address problems and instead just make an industry out of limiting liberties of those who aren't criminals.
Now also showing roll calls for the Leahy Amendment and the Cornyn Amendment. . .
Thanks, I need to go over there and offer my input too!
There's a mistake in your graphic. Those are all AK-47 assault rifles.
POTUS, Bengazi Obama = "The New Lame Duck POTUS"!!! End of story!!!
Unchecked, unmonitored, mental illness is the problem, not guns!!! Obama lives in a failed presidency!!!
HAHAHAHAHA!!!You funny!
Oopps; felons if they're (not their) caught again.
Now watch how Mr Zero will use that point 08, the arbitrary ammount declaring a driver "alcohol impared" which is not a law but a USDOT regulation backed up by federal road funding.Which later worked its way into your state laws.
Obama will use that principle for an edict on (BTW Reuters is right their style book calls it a "military style" weapon (rifle) not an) assault rifles.
I suppose the best thing to come out of this fuster cluck is ole Plug's suggestion that we get a shotgun. Here's my recommendation - Mossberg 590-A1:
She has perfect cosmetic features, as you can tell by her high cheekbones and slim waist and gorgeous hips, and Cabelas carries them at a very reasonable price.
Now, one nice bonus of this anti-constitutinal common-sense horse pucky hitting the storm drain is that mags and ammo should become plentiful once again, now that Joe American isn't grabbing everything in sight due to impending tyranny (not that we can let down our guard now). Maybe CCI Stingers will show up at WalMart in the not so distant future for the paper puncher crowd, 9mm's for the armed soccer moms, and 10mm's and .45's for the sheepdawgs amongst us. Time to a bit of pre-ordering with MagPul as well, for, if nothing else, telling Calirado to stuff it.
we can try.
"They trot out tragic victims to get emotional responses instead letting people vote their logical choices."
It's time to confront these so-called victims. They trusted a corrupt and uncaring government to protect their children. They failed as parents to protect their children.
They thought, incorrectly, that their children were safe in the care of leftists who couldn't care less about their children. The fault of their dead children lies solely with them as parents and their inability to accept their responsibility to safeguard their children.
And no way in hell am I giving my weapons to protect my children. You had the responsibility to protect your children, and you failed. I won't fail my children.

Planet Rugby takes a deeper look into the suspensions of Sergio Parisse and Cian Healy to understand the need for discipline in rugby.
With howls of derision emerging from all parts of Italy regarding the banning of their talisman and captain Sergio Parisse, and Ireland's Cian Healy appealing against his suspension for stamping, Planet Rugby takes a deeper look into the two cases to understand the need for discipline in our sport.
It's easy to look at the suspensions of both the Azzuri skipper and the Irish Prop and conclude that Parisse has been hard done by, and Healy is a rather lucky young man.
Yes if you applied 'the bar room test', then you'd conclude that off the field of play, Healy could be charged with assault and Parisse with nothing other than a cheap remark.
But look slightly deeper and a wider agenda is obvious. In a contact sport, respect for officials is absolutely paramount in order to maintain discipline on the pitch. It is the one quality that sets rugby apart from other sports, and is something that we, as players, writers and watchers, must maintain above all others.
If the disciplinary process is followed correctly and consistently then the outcome will be appropriate for the crime. This, in a nutshell, means that two cases that look similar on face value may have different outcomes despite having the same entry point under IRB Reg 17. It is difficult to compare the two cases that are highlighted. Healy's, as we understand it, had mitigating factors (clean record, English player on wrong side, etc), whereas Parisse's case had aggregating factors in terms of his record with this type of offence.
The key word there is 'if.'
Healy's stamp could have ended Dan Cole's career. It was reminiscent of Marius Bosman's stamp on Doddie Weir in the Lions tour of 97, a stamp that ended Weir's rugby life and consigned the big Scot to his farm. If you then look at Healy's obvious punch that was not cited, it's fair to conclude he's gotten off quite lightly.
Parisse on the other hand is known for his excitable pressuring of referees. He has been warned and carded before for 'backchat' and must now realise that this is not tolerable or acceptable.
His ban, whilst robbing the Six Nations of a true great of the modern game, is essential to send out the right message.
However, there is a palpable lack of evidence, and, perhaps a suggestion that the LNR and FFR are penalising Parisse for having the temerity to lead Italy to the destruction their beloved XV de France, leaving les Bleus rooted at the foot of the Championship. None of that does the game any favours, but we reiterate that the core value of on field conduct is respect, and on that measure alone, Parisse's sentence is one that should remind all players of their responsibility.
Are both bans fair and commensurate with the crime?
It is a complex issue and one that needs adjudication at the highest level. Currently, sanctions are in the hands of the relevant union if a domestic game, and with the Six Nations organising committee during a Test.
In the international season, and in the case of current international players, surely it would be appropriate for the IRB to 'referee' the disciplinary process at all levels in order that criticism of the domestic unions be avoided?
This would obviate any notion or accusation that the officials can manipulate bans for their own means (a case in point would be Manu Tuilagi's very lenient sentence last season for punching Chris Ashton, surprisingly allowing him to be available for England duties!) and it would also allow absolute consistency, remove any doubts and accusations of bias, and allow true integrity and fairness in terms of punishment and crime.
As the LNR might have said when sentencing Parisse, I rest my case!

Cute but...
"These shoes are really cute but they do fit small (at least for me). I wear a 7.5 and I bought a 7 and the 7 fits and still feels a little roomy.I wore them for the first time today and after 4 hours the arch of my feet was hurting, therefore, they are not very comfortable shoes. Not sure if they just need a little breaking into. I'll try wearing them with insoles."

Great athletic shoe with dressy look
"What appeals to me about this show is that they are sneakers that look like dress shoes! I can easily get away with wearing them at work. They are very comfortable for walking too and I walk a lot during the day and haven't had blisters or soreness. The shoe runs a but big but I added pads to them so it fits fine. I recommend these cute shoes to those who need an athletic shoe but dressy look."

England opened their November international series account with a 54-12 victory over Fiji which sets them up nicely for facing Australia.
England opened their November Test series account with a decisive 54-12 victory over Fiji, which sets them up nicely for tackling Australia next week.
Following an early blip whereby the islanders held the upper hand, England clicked into gear to claim a seven-try win that will please Stuart Lancaster.
Test debuts were taken by Tom Youngs, Mako Vunipola and Joe Launchbury but it was full-back Alex Goode who stole the show on Saturday as he put in an accomplished performance at fifteen.
Much sterner tests are yet to come however.
Fiji had opened the game in impressive style and despite conceding a penalty at the first scrum of the match, they soon settled into a period of huge dominance of both territory and possession. Late call-up from Gloucester, Akapusi Qera was prominent early on alongside Api Naikatani.
Their hopes further improved on nine minutes when England scrum-half Danny Care was shown a yellow by referee Glen Jackson – who was advised by fourth official Craig Joubert – for an alleged tip tackle. It was a tough call from the officials and one that offered the visitors an extra boost, particularly with their 81 per cent possession statistic at that point in the game.
However, England weathered the storm and in fact scored three points while Care was in the bin, Toby Flood knocking over a penalty with 20 minutes played. It proved to be the start of a turnaround in the statistics as confidence started flowing into England's gameplan.
Goode was England's main strike weapon as he vindicated coach Lancaster's decision to move him ahead of Mike Brown. He was popping up in the first line of attack on countless occasions and his one-two combination with Care always kept Fiji's defence guessing.
Two minutes later and the home side had their reward when Care's smart line off the shoulder of Thomas Waldrom led to Manu Tuilagi and Goode combining before wing Charlie Sharples cut back against the grain to beat three defenders. Flood made it 10-0.
England were beginning to turn the screw in front of 82,000 supporters at HQ, and when a Flood penalty on 26 minutes was compounded for the islanders with Deacon Manu yellow carded for repeated infringements, it looked like being the perfect chance to kill the game.
They did just that when a penalty try was awarded before a break then Care almost set up Sharples for his second try only for the TMO to rule "no try" after the ball had hit the flag.
England were over soon after though when Goode's quick thinking on the stroke of half-time saw him tap before setting up Ugo Monye for a simple try that sent them in 25-0 ahead.
Following the turnaround, England came out firing and should have scored to back up Flood's 43rd-minute penalty but Dan Cole chose to run instead of pass. But when a flowing move saw Goode combine with fly-half Flood, England were over with Johnson on the right.
Fiji hit back with a superb solo effort from Glasgow's Nicola Matawalu, who picked off Ugo Monye's pass, stepped past centre Tuilagi and then won the race to his own chip ahead.
England, though, soon had another try on the board when Flood's looping pass sent in Sharples for his second as he gave Lancaster food for thought in Chris Ashton's absence.
Amidst changes, Ben Youngs came on for Care to make the Youngs family the 10th set of brothers to play in the same England side and the first since Steffon and Delon Armitage.
Then, inside the final ten minutes of the match at Twickenham, Tuilagi bolstered England's victory margin with two tries before Fiji replacement Sekonaia Kalou had the final word by crashing over to cap a match that was entertaining from start to finish.
Man of the match: Faultless at the back. Alex Goode wins this one hands down after he slotted into the English line-up with ease. Many had questioned the move to pick him over Mike Brown at number fifteen but Goode silenced all those doubters on Saturday.
Moment of the match: Although it didn't result in a try, Charlie Sharples' grubber down the line which hit the corner flag and bounced back into play could have been brilliant. A close second has to be the try from Nicola Matawalu, a move he had started 60 metres downfield.
Villain of the match: Few incidents to speak of. Danny Care's yellow card was harsh.
The scorers:
For England:
Tries: Sharples 2, Penalty, Monye, Johnson, Tuilagi 2
Con: Flood 4, Farrell
Pen: Flood 3
For Fiji:

Charter schools account for 54,900 students, or 9 percent of Utah public school students, the census showed. Charter schools grew by 8.2 percent over the previous year. Nationally, charter school students account for 3.6 percent of public school populations.
Utah does not survey private schools for enrollment numbers. The most recent federal survey from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 2009-10 estimated Utah's private school enrollment at 18,038 or about 3.2 percent of public school enrollment which is well below the national rate of 9.5 percent.
Utah public schools reported parents or guardians sought homeschool exemptions for 8,586 students in 2012-13, giving Utah a home schooling rate of 1.4 percent. The most recent data from NCES in 2011-12 puts the national home schooling rate at 3.4 percent.

More turnover in the western Massachusetts delegation to the state legislature may be on the horizon, as veteran Senator Gale Candaras of Wilbraham announces her future political plans Tuesday morning.
Candaras says she will either seek re-election in the senate, or step down to run for Hampden County Register of Probate. If she leaves the Senate, she'll follow two other veteran senators from the region: Mike Knapik, who resigned last summer, and Ways and Means Chair Stephen Brewer, who announced his retirement last week.
"To lose these three key senators in just the last five months is intriguing," says political analyst Tony Cignoli. "Certainly Brewer and Candaras will stay in the senate until January of next year, but there is concern about what happens thereafter."
Cignoli says Candaras is likely to seek the Register of Probate office, and he says it's an unusual move for a senator like her, with 17-years in the legislature. As Probate Register, Candaras would oversee the family court, which handles divorce, child custody, and estate cases. She will officially announce her future plans in a press conference Tuesday, flanked by U.S Congressman Richard Neal, and state Senator Stan Rosenberg.

Heard on the Hill: Learn More about Congressional Hearings
As the 112th Congress gets underway, we are pleased to announce that the Health Policy Brief will now feature a section devoted to summarizing Congressional hearings dealing with health policy of importance to urology.@blurbend As the AUA expands the role of its Washington, DC, legislative office, the Government Relations & Advocacy (GR&A) team will now regularly attend hearings and routinely provide you with updates. A GR&A presence at hearings will increase urology's presence on Capitol Hill while providing you with inside information on Congress' work—ensuring that we protect urology's interest before any bill becomes law.
House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary Hearing on Medical Liability Reform - Cutting Costs, Spurring Investment, Creating Jobs January 20, 2011
This hearing featured testimony from: Stu Weinstein, MD, a pediatric orthopedic surgeon from Iowa and past chair of Doctors for Medical Liability Reform, who spoke on behalf of the Health Coalition on Liability and Access; Ardis Hoven, MD, chair of the American Medical Association Board of Trustees; and Joanne Doroshow, executive director of the Center for Justice Democracy.
This hearing highlighted the burden on the healthcare system caused by "defensive medicine," which adds expense without improving the quality of patient care. Both Drs. Weinstein and Hoven testified on behalf of physicians, calling for the need for comprehensive medical liability reform including caps on non-economic damages. Ms. Doroshow testified to the contrary, citing reports that show that the cost of malpractice insurance has been going down in recent years, and that states that have significant tort reform laws, such as California and Texas, do not have significantly lower costs of malpractice insurance than those without it. This hearing was held prior to and set the stage for the introduction of H.R. 5, the Help Efficient, Accessible, Low-cost, Timely Healthcare (HEALTH) Act of 2011, a medical liability reform bill introduced by Representative Phil Gingrey, MD (R-GA).

House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means Hearing on the Health Care Law's Impact on Jobs, Employers, and the Economy January 26, 2011
The hearing featured two panels of witnesses. Austan Goolsbee, PhD, chairman of the Council of Economic Advisors, composed the first panel, and the second panel consisted of small business owners. Prominent topics of the hearing included repealing the 1099 provision, repealing the medical device tax and working to implement some kind of medical liability reform.

Senate Committee on the Judiciary Hearing on the Constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act February 2, 2011
Amidst the many policy debates over the Affordable Care Act, the Senate Committee on the Judiciary invited a panel of constitutional law experts to speak to the constitutionality of the law. The crux of the argument rests on whether or not the individual mandate to purchase health insurance falls under Congress' power to regulate interstate commerce. On the one side, as argued by Oregon Attorney General John Kroger, Harvard Law professor Charles Fried, and Duke School of Law professor Walter Dellinger, health insurance is clearly interstate commerce; thus, the individual mandate is the means by which Congress has chosen to regulate that market. On the other hand, as argued by Georgetown Law School Professor of Legal Theory Randy Barnett and Michael Carvin, partner at Jones Day, the individual mandate exceeds the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce because there is really no precedent for Congress mandating individuals, who are not currently part of a market, to enter into a contractual obligation to participate within that market. Rather, they argue that the Supreme Court has only dealt with cases where Congress regulates what the experts called "activity"—businesses or individuals that are already participating in commerce. In this case, Congress is regulating "inactivity" where individuals are not and do not even want to participate in the market.
Already, two district court rulings in Virginia and Florida have declared the law unconstitutional, but many courts have refused to even hear the case. While it is not guaranteed, the final decision on this issue will likely rest with the Supreme Court.

How Should My Office Bill J3490, Unclassified drug?
For the third consecutive year, attendance at the Annual Urology Joint Advocacy Conference (JAC), held from March 27-29, 2011, in Washington, DC, broke previous records. The Ritz-Carlton, Washington, DC, was filled to capacity by more than 180 urologists. The increasingly popular event, co-hosted by the AUA and the American Association of Clinical Urologists (AACU), is the only such advocacy conference that focuses on protecting the needs of urology.
A host of nationally recognized healthcare policy leaders, Members of Congress, fellow urologists and other policy analysts briefed attendees on topics such as workforce issues, health information technology and meaningful use, the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB), and accountable care organizations (ACOs).@blurbend
Richard "Buz" Cooper, MD, a professor of medicine and senior fellow at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics at the University of Pennsylvania delivered the Keynote Address.
Gail Wilensky, PhD, former administrator of the Health Care Financing Administration (now the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) under President George H. W. Bush, now an economist and senior fellow at Project HOPE, an international health foundation, also addressed attendees.
On Monday, March 28, 2011, numerous Representatives and Senators attended the Capitol Hill reception at Charlie Palmer's, a well-known spot for the powerful legislators, allowing urologists a chance to meet and mingle with their elected officials. These Members of Congress applauded urology's advocacy work and urged attendees to fight for their profession and voice the changes urology would like Congress to approve.
On Tuesday, March 29, 2011, urologists participated in more than 250 Congressional meetings, advocating for several key issues. One prominent focus was the repeal of the IPAB, which our coalition partner, the American College of Surgeons (ACS), did not take on during their Hill visits that same day. Urologists also lobbied for the continuation of the in-office ancillary exception (IOAE) and a permanent fix to the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR). Also highlighted was urology's PROSTATE Act (a prostate cancer bill that addresses disparities, access, research, outreach and education) and urotrauma legislation (a bill that creates a government-sponsored technical commission to investigate and advise the Department of Defense on research and action needed to advance this growing area within urology). The two bills were originally introduced in the last Congressional session and, thanks to the advocacy work of our members and AUA professional staff, are now poised to be reintroduced with more co-sponsors and a broader base of support. Click here to view urology's summary statements on these and other significant issues.
As we celebrate yet another successful JAC, we look forward to continuing our advocacy work on Capitol Hill during the AUA2011 Annual Meeting at the "Afternoon on the Hill." On Wednesday, May 18, 2011, hundreds of AUA members will take advantage of the unique opportunity of being in Washington, DC, by visiting their Senators and their staff in order to bring urology's message to Capitol Hill. If you missed your chance to attend the JAC, this is your opportunity to make your voice heard and join many of your colleagues at this important advocacy event. Space is limited, so be sure to register for this event when you complete your Annual Meeting registration. The registration deadline is April 18.
Additionally, we formed a separate research "Strike Force" of senior urologist researchers who will promote the AUA Foundation's National Urology Research Agenda (NURA) on Capitol Hill during "Afternoon on the Hill."

If you have any questions, staff at the UROPAC Booth at Annual Meeting will be there to help or you can e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) are periodically placed on the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) Web site to expand public understanding of the Meaningful Use (MU) of electronic health record (EHR) rules and how they will be enforced. A recently posted response concerning the determination of "possession" of certified EHR technology has left many industry experts confused and concerned.@blurbend
An article by James B. Wieland and Joshua J. Freemire of the Ober|Kaler law firm in Washington, DC, explains the details of this FAQ and highlights the source of the confusion*. The ONC guidance seems to counter the widespread understanding that the MU rules allow eligible providers to acquire EHR technology in a modular fashion in order to qualify for the MU incentive payments. In other words, providers can invest in technology only as needed to comply with annual requirements. However, the ONC's answer to the question posed appears to say that only "complete EHR" software tested and approved by an approved testing and certification body would qualify for the payments.
The AUA will continue to monitor this situation and will keep you apprised through our many publications.
Practice Management Develops Meaningful Use (MU) Educational Tools for Urology Practices
The AUA Practice Management Department is planning a number of educational experiences this year to assist urologists and practice managers in understanding how to collect the Medicare MU bonuses payable beginning around May 2011. The following projects are under way and should all be ready by the AUA2011 Annual Meeting:

Mike McIntyre was first elected to represent North Carolina's 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1996. He is now serving in his 8th term and was named a Democratic Senior Whip in the House.
Representative McIntyre, a member of the Blue Dog Coalition, has taken a common-sense approach to forging a bipartisan consensus on public policy. From this vantage point, he has played a key role in finding practical solutions to complex problems.@blurbend
Representative McIntyre is a member of the House Armed Services Committee, which promotes and protects our nation's servicemen and women, veterans and military retirees. In 2008, he was named National Legislator of the Year by the National Association of Veterans County Service Officers for his work on behalf of our nation's veterans. Additionally, he is the author of the Veterans Outreach Improvement Act, supported by the National Association of County Veterans Service Officers, the American Legion, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Military Officers Association of America, the National Organization of Veterans' Advocates and the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America.
Representative McIntyre also serves on the Steering Committee of the Rural Health Care Coalition. In 2002, he was the only Member of the House to be chosen for a Legislative Award in recognition of his leadership and "ongoing commitment to policies improving healthcare" by the National Rural Health Association. He has also been a leader on law enforcement issues, an avid defender of our senior citizens, and a strong advocate for improved healthcare and education. We recently sat down with him to discuss his positions on healthcare reform and how physicians can get involved in enacting change.
Q: First, of all, thank you for your history of supporting physicians and the healthcare community as a whole. Last year, you voted against the Affordable Care Act, and this year you voted for its repeal. These were not the popular positions of your party. What led you to make these tough decisions?
McIntyre: As you know, I voted against the healthcare bill last year because it did not address the long-term problem of access and reimbursement for our hospitals, especially rural hospitals. It hurts small businesses and it costs too much money at a time when we have an exploding federal deficit. All of these problems are as acute today as they were last year.
A true healthcare reform bill would ensure that our senior citizens and rural citizens get the same access to healthcare as others, reduce the skyrocketing cost of healthcare and health insurance for middle class families, not hurt small businesses and not keep spending money we do not have. The healthcare law fails on all of these counts, and I voted for legislation to repeal it on January 19, 2011.
I hope that the leaders of this Congress, Democrats and Republicans alike, will join me in reaching across the aisle to pass a common-sense healthcare reform that achieves these objectives and, in so doing, helps to improve the health and well being of America's families.
Q: While it is unlikely that the Senate will repeal the entire Affordable Care Act and send it to the President, are there any provisions that you think might be repealed, such as the 1099 provision, or the Independent Payment Advisory Board?
McIntyre: Yes, there are provisions that are currently being looked at for potential repeal. In fact, the House recently passed legislation to repeal the 1099 provision. I supported it. I also understand the concerns physicians have with the Independent Payment Advisory Board and will keep them in mind should a bill be considered to repeal that provision.
Q: Physicians have had a rough time over the last two years. Many are feeling discouraged, especially in light of the current trend to cut government spending including entitlement programs. What might make them hopeful about their futures and the future of healthcare in America?
McIntyre: While these issues do exist, many of us in Congress are committed to ensuring that the Sustainable Growth Rate is repealed to encourage a better Medicare reimbursement system. For far too long, physicians have been at the whim of Congress to pass short-term extensions that impede their practice and ultimately impact patients. A real solution is needed.
Q: As community members and voters, what can physicians do to "make a difference" and why should they continue to be active and involved?
McIntyre: Given that the healthcare reform bill will unlikely be repealed this Congress, it is essential that physicians weigh in and provide information about the issues impacting their industry, including various provisions in the healthcare reform law. Whether it is issues like access to healthcare, workforce shortages or Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements, physicians can and should be advocates for their profession and measures impacting them at the federal level.
I work with a Medical and Health Affairs Advisory Committee that is comprised of physicians, surgeons, hospital administrators and others in health-related fields of service, including a urologist! We meet and discuss issues of concern to the medical community.
Q: Is there anything else you would like to say to our members (urologists – who are surgeons, office practitioners, pediatricians, geriatricians, researchers and cancer care specialists)?
McIntyre: As a member of the Rural Health Care Coalition and the Cancer Caucus, I am committed to working on behalf of the dedicated physicians who help keep our country healthy. I have recently added my name to [the AUA's] urotrauma legislation that establishes a National Commission on Urotrauma. And, I have co-sponsored [the AUA's] PROSTATE Act, which establishes a federal interagency task force, composed of agencies from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the U.S. Department of Defense and led by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, which will develop a strategy to improve the research portfolio, eliminate duplication between agencies, identify best practices, expand collaboration, increase patient and medical community participation, and develop a coordinated message related to screening and treatment for prostate cancer.
The AUA would again like thank Congressman McIntyre for his continued dedication to preserving our doctors' ability to continue to provide high quality healthcare to their patients, and for his support on both or our bills. We look forward to working with him and all Members of Congress as this session moves forward.

DENVER - Perfect.
Lutheran capped a 28-0 season with a 22-25, 25-20, 25-23, 25-23 victory over Simla to win the Class 2A state volleyball championship at the Denver Coliseum.
It was the second consecutive state championship for the Lions who have now won 41 matches in a row since their last loss on Oct. 15, 2011.
"They (state titles) were both difficult to win," said Lutheran coach Alicia Oates. "This is a different group of girls. You knew what the expectations were and you didn't want to fall short. We didn't do that.
"These girls battled all season. Midway through the season we kind of developed a `we can't lose' type of thing."
The championship match was a classic, pitting the unbeaten No. 1 seed (Lutheran) against the unbeaten No. 2 seed (Simla).
Lutheran advanced to the championship match with 3-0 victories over Telluride, Akron and Resurrection Christian.
The only game the Lions lost in the tournament was the first set against Simla who was led by senior middle hitter Kenzi Mitchell, who had 28 kills in the match.
"They were a quality opponent," Lutheran's 6-foot-1 senior Laura Beach said.
"We had so much respect for them. They played amazing. It took a complete team effort from the girls. It's an amazing feeling to win the state championship."
Beach and 5-10 junior Connie Olson played more aggressive after the first set loss and that seemed to make the difference for the Lions.
"We made a lot of errors in that first game," Oates said. "Once we started playing not to them and played our game we did better.
"We just had to come into the tournament doing what we did all year. We couldn't try to adjust too much and we had to do what had gotten us to this point. We just had to play together as a team and just play what we call Lutheran High volleyball."
Beach, who had 25 kills in the match, had 14 kills and was in on eight blocks and had an ace in the final three games.
Olson had nine of her 16 kills in the concluding three games and saved her biggest kill for last.
Simla, trailing 24-19 in the fourth game, fought off four match points before Olson delivered a kill to seal Lutheran's second consecutive state championship.
"I just felt that I had to put it down for my team, my Lord, and get a state title for everybody," said Olson.
"There was just a feeling that we could do it as a team.
"The feeling of winning the state championship is the same as last year. Now, it is awesome because it's the second one. We knew we could do it."
Simla coach Sue Snyder had praise for her 28-1 team after the title match.
"The girls played their hearts out, they were so driven to do well," said Snyder. "I couldn't be more proud of the girls as they gave it all they had. Lutheran is a very good team and they have the big players."

About California PoppyCalifornia poppy leaves were used medicinally by Native Americans, and the pollen was used cosmetically. The seeds are used in cooking. Aqueous extract has sedative and anxiolytic action. Extract from the California poppy acts as a mild sedative when smoked. The effect is far milder than that of opium. California poppy contains a different class of benzophenanthridine alkaloids. An aqueous alcohol extract of Eschscholzia californica has been evaluated for benzodiazepine, neuroleptic, antidepressant, antihistaminic and analgesic properties. The plant extract did not protect mice against the convulsant effects of pentylenetetrazol, and did not cause muscle relaxant effects but appeared to possess an affinity for the benzodiazepine receptor. The extract induced peripheral analgesic effects in mice but did not possess antidepressant, neuroleptic or antihistaminic effects. About ValerianParts used and where grownAlthough valerian grows wild all over Europe, most of the valerian used for medicinal extracts is cultivated. The root is used in herbal medicine preparations. Historical or traditional useThe Greek physician Dioscorides reportedly recommended valerian for a host of medical issues, including digestive problems, nausea, liver problems, and even urinary tract disorders. Use of valerian for insomnia and nervous conditions has been common for many centuries. By the 18th century, it was an accepted sedative and was also used for nervous disorders associated with a restless digestive tract. Herbs Etc. Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat forms do herbal products come in?The most popular herbal products in America are capsules, softgels and tablets. Herbal teas, especially in teabags, account for a substantial amount of the herbs consumed in the United States. Herbs in liquid herbal extract form are also a popular way to ingest therapeutic herbal products. Finally, herbs are available in bulk form in some health and natural food stores. Which form of herbs offers the most therapeutic benefits?The therapeutic benefits achieved by using herbs depend on a variety of factors. For instance, does the herbal product contain all of the active constituents in ratios found in nature, or have the constituents been altered? Is the herbal product fresh? What is the shelf life of the herb? Has the herb been processed in such a way to ensure that it will be effective when you are ready to take the product? Does the product require you to digest the herbs in order to get all of the benefits from these herbs? Is it convenient to take? Is it affordable? Does the product address the problem that you are trying to solve? Of all the available forms of herbs, liquid herbal extracts best address all of these factors. This is the reason that American herbalists recommend this form of herbs the most. Is it better to choose herbal formulas instead of single herbs?To get the results you hope to achieve, it is important to choose the herbs that best address your specific health concerns. This web site lists both single herbal extracts and formulas, as both are effective healing agents. Can I take herbal extracts at the same time I am taking conventional drugs?In many instances taking herbs at the same time as conventional drugs will actually support and heal the body faster and more thoroughly. For example, taking immune stimulating herbs while a person is on antibiotics is recommended, because these herbs will strengthen the immune system and prevent relapses after the round of antibiotics is done. In other instances it is best not to take herbal extracts at the same time as conventional drugs. For example, I do not recommend taking antidepressant drugs and herbal antidepressants at the same time. Be aware that when herbs are combined with drugs, they can increase the action of the drugs. Consult a knowledgeable herbalist, a naturopath or primary care physician when combining any medications. Keeping You Healthy. Naturally.From Daniel Gagnon, Owner My name is Daniel Gagnon. I am the Medical Herbalist and Owner of Herbs, Etc. As a child and as a young adult, I suffered from eczema, asthma and allergies. My journey back to health is the driving force that motivates me to share the benefits of natural healing with other individuals. My number one goal is to develop effective herbal medicines that contain only natural and beneficial ingredients that have little or no side effects. Research and Development In Our Retail Store Herbs, Etc. operates a retail store in Santa Fe, New Mexico, selling bulk herbs, herbal remedies, vitamins, supplements and essential oils. The store's primary mission is to offer herbal medicine information and remedies to the Santa Fe community. It is also a research and development center. Many of Herbs, Etc.'s herbal medicines are created and tested here. The retail store offers over 250 varieties of bulk liquid herbal extracts. From these, products that are specific to clients' health needs are custom-formulated. For example, our best selling herbal throat spray was created while working with performers at the famed Santa Fe Opera. Singers would come to the store complaining of sore throats. Many formulations were tested, however, one formula was requested more often than all the others. This formulation became known as Singer's Saving Grace. Today, this product is available in four classic formulas (Extra Strength, Cool Mint, Honey Lemon and Serious Cinnamon) and 2 alcohol-free formulas (Professional Strength and Citrus & Honey). From The Field To The PlantOnce a formulation has been tested and approved, the manufacturing process begins. At Herbs, Etc.'s certified organic manufacturing facility each herbal medicine product starts with fresh or dried whole herbs. The herbs we purchase are grown on family-owned, certified organic farms. They are grown throughout the United States in the climate and ecosystems in which they thrive. Herbs, Flowers, Leaves, Buds: When Fresh is BestSome herb parts, such as flowers, leaves and buds, must be processed while fresh (undried) to retain their full medicinal qualities. This critical step ensures that the essential oils and other fragile constituents are not lost, evaporated or destroyed in the drying process. Fresh herbs are picked from the field and shipped overnight in refrigerated containers. Herbs, Etc. receives them while fresh the very next morning. Once released from quality control, the herbs are immediately ground to break the cell walls, put in an alcohol/water solution and extracted while fresh and vibrant. This process allows the release of active constituents. Exclusive Kinetic MacerationHerbs, Etc. created an innovative, proprietary process called kinetic maceration. During this process, the alcohol, water and herbs are placed in a hermetically sealed container and tumbled non-stop for 12 hours. Analyses concluded that Herbs, Etc.'s kinetic maceration method yields 20-50% more active constituents than the maceration methods used by other herbal companies. Seeing is BelievingAt Herbs, Etc. we always purchase roots, barks and stems in their whole form. Whole herbs prevent falsification by providing our herb buyers with obvious distinguishable plant characteristics. It is next to impossible to visually guarantee the identity of an herb powder. On the other hand, a whole herb is instantly identifiable. Keeping herbs in their whole form before grinding them protects against loss of potency and the destruction of their active constituents. Herbs, Etc.'s GuaranteeEvery step Herbs, Etc. takes guarantees effective herbal medicine. More than 35 years of expertise as a leading manufacturer of high quality, potent liquid herbal extracts is your assurance. This is why every Herbs, Etc.'s herbal medicinal product is unconditionally guaranteed. As a medical herbalist since 1976, I have been an early proponent of the healing properties of herbs. I hope that this brochure helps you in your quest to make educated herbal supplement choices concerning your health and your well being.

Jesus burial site found - film claims
New film documents discovery of Jerusalem cave containing ten caskets believed to hold remains of Jesus, Mary, Mary Magdalene and others
Ariella Ringel-Hoffman Published: 02.23.07, 10:26 / Israel Culture
The cave in which Jesus Christ was buried has been found in Jerusalem, claim the makers of a new documentary film.
If it proves true, the discovery, which will be revealed at a press conference in New York Monday, could shake up the Christian world as one of the most significant archeological finds in history.
The coffins which, according to the filmmakers held the remains of Jesus of Nazareth, his mother Mary and Mary Magdalene will be displayed for the first timeon Monday in New York.
Jointly produced by Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker Simcha Jacobovici and Oscar winning director James Cameron, the film tells the exciting and tortuous story of the archeological discovery.
The story starts in 1980 in Jerusalems Talpiyot neighborhood, with the discovery of a 2,000 year old cave containing ten coffins. Six of the ten coffins were carved with inscriptions reading the names: Jesua son of Joseph, Mary, Mary, Matthew, Jofa (Joseph, identified as Jesus brother), Judah son of Jesua (Jesus son - the filmmakers claim).
Decades of research
The findings in the cave, including the decipherment of the inscriptions, were first revealed about ten years ago by internationally renowned Israeli archeologist Professor Amos Kloner.
Since their discovery, the caskets were kept in the Israeli Antiquities Authority archive in Beit Shemesh, but now two have been sent to New York for their first public exhibition.
Although the cave was discovered nearly 30 years ago and the casket inscriptions decoded ten years ago, the filmmakers are the first to establish that the cave was in fact the burial site of Jesus and his family.
The film, which documents the stages of the discovery, is the result of three years labor and research. It will be broadcast on the international Discovery Channel, Britain's Channel 4, Canadas Vision and Israels Channel 8, which also took part in the film's production.
According to the filmmakers, the films claim is based on close work with world-famous scientists, archeologists, statisticians, DNA specialists and antiquities experts.
Not likely...
"Where is your god now???"
Wonder when they'll find the smelly remains of Mohammed, warlord.
"Jesus Burial Site Found -- film claims"
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Someone else read "A Skeleton in God's Closet", a novel by Paul L. Maier, I see.
The seventh casket said "Floyd" but the historians figured it must have been a typo.
Some people will believe anything.
( http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/search?m=all;o=time;s=Jesus )
Has Geraldo been notified?
Mods, I'm sorry. I swear, I even used the search feature and found nothing that's the only reason I posted this. Sorry again.
Well there was a woman's remains found. What would Greta do?
Those sneaky Hollywood types... They even arranged for these coffins to be found years before the book was written, so they can deny planting the evidence!
Let me guess: The DNA specialists claimed have matched DNA from the burial site to that of a known descendant of Jesus. Right?
if holocaust denial is ilegal why the hell isn't rssurection denial ilegal too????
forgeries run amok in the holy land

Gods, Graves, Glyphs (alpha order)
Coffins? They found stone coffins that supposedly contained the remains of poor peasants in an economically depressed corner of the Roman Empire?
Does anyone realize how expensive it was to be interred in a stone coffin? In that time and place, people (who could afford it) placed dead bodies in caves until they decomposed. A year later, the bones were collected and burined in a small bone-box called an ossuary. Poor Jewish peasants were not buried in stone sarcophogi.
The inscriptions seem a bit thin for evidence to positively identify the individuals.
>> If it proves true, the discovery, which will be revealed at a press conference in New York Monday, could shake up the Christian world as one of the most significant archeological finds in history. <<
If Shiite-radical coral polyps build a spaceship so they can mine Pluto for Froot Loops for their annual Bob Hope look-alike contest, it might also shake up the Christian world.
>> The seventh casket said "Floyd" but the historians figured it must have been a typo. <<
I dunno. I had a friend who thought David Gilmore (of "Pink Floyd") was God.
Here lies Jesus, Mary, Mary, Matthew, Jofa, Juda, and the guy who died in George W. Bush's place in VietNam.
If there's a "whacko conspiracy pinglist" out there, I want to be on it!
I here you there my brother, they said in the article the cave has been know for 30 years and have been decifering the inscriptions for ten? give me a break! And now they are gonna propagandise this rubbish just like evolutionists! Why havent they let everyone see this "so called" evidence long before now and they have been hiding it in Israeli athourty? I smell absolute fraud in the making!!!!
How could it take ten years to figure the inscriptions out thats ridiculous!
You can always tell when Easter is getting near. The 'Jesus was only a man and didn't rise from the dead' crowd comes out of the woodwork.
That's been the "M.O." for as long as I can remember.
