Up bright and early for a day dedicated to the data structures assignment. The good news is that the pace I kept was surprisingly high and more than half of the work got done today. The current plan is to finish the codebase by tomorrow and document/write a report on it by Friday. This would leave me with the weekend and half of next week to revise for the Algebra exam.
As a direct consequence, not much translation got done today. I'm still happy about it considering I fixed a few difficult phrases which were leaving something to be desired. On related news, the game was postponed to somewhere in March. I was expecting this, anyway. The good thing about it is that it now seems I'm getting test versions by the first days of February.
I'm also eager to get all this out of my way considering I'm looking forward to read and learn about server-side applications, namely DNS and mail servers (particularly postfix and bind). Planning to build a server at home to host a friend's site which will serve as a very nice learning exercise, or so I hope. Something to be done by the start of next month too.
I'm knackered. Gonna read a bit and off to bed.

text: I have a 14month golden male who has some serious health issues and isn't gonna be with us for a full lifetime, also just a backyard breed dog, not from high end genes... But with that said he is a great dog who is very eager to please. We have been working with him since he was a pup on simple retrieves, and feel that he could easily suit or needs as a duck retriever. He absolutely loves the water, leaps six+ ft. and crashes into cold water with out hesitation, and loves to chase bumpers. He loves to work, and gets serious when the training tools come out. When retrieving on a pond he does great, I think because there is only one way out of the water so the dummy is always brought back, because he was no other choice. But when out of the water he charges the dummy, finds it, and then goes into parading shaking violently and fails to finish the retrieve? Any advice? I know Force fetch would solve this, but this isn't not the route I want to go with this dog. I don't need him to be a high end dog, just be able to retrieve some birds.

|Ocean Flyfishing for Salmon Perhaps the most under-rated fishery in the world
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Nice report Leland. Something unique and special about catching trout in the salt, especially on the surface!
Hope to hook up with you out there soon bro
|Leland Miyawaki
Southsound Report
I stepped into the water at 11:30am during the first half of the ebb. The water was cloudy from the rains and wind so I walked down the beach until I found clear water. As I worked my popper down the beach I turned over eight fish that looked to be nice searuns.
At exactly 12:30pm, the sky clouded over and a little breeze ruffled the water and a single fish jumped between 50 to 60 feet out. I covered the ring and got an immediate boil and grab. The next 12 casts produced 12 more fish. All struck straight out in the deep water in the first couple strips. All were beautifully marked searuns. All were well over 12 inches but not more than 18. All put up a great fight.
The action stopped at 1:15pm. and I went home a happy guy.

Thought I'd post a note (mostly for the search engines out there) that the FujiFilm FinePix A303 camera works with Linux (as a USB storage device, at least). The camera can be configured in a "PC Camera" mode, but that doesn't work with Linux yet (the manual says that only works with Windows (XP?), and won't work with MacOS either). I was somewhat worried, as this camera uses xD-Picture Card media, rather than CompactFlash or SmartMedia.
Anyway, I guess my computer was set up for USB already, so I just had to mount the camera, which was a simple ``mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /camera'' I decided to add a line to my /etc/fstab so I can just ``mount /camera'' to make it easier to copy images onto my laptop.
I've been thinking that I should try to find a way to automatically mount and unmount the camera when it is plugged in and unplugged, but I suspect someone has done that already. I had the thought that most of these filesystems have pseudorandom serial numbers on them (well, unless you get preformatted media, which often all have the same thing, which can lead to data corruption in certain situations). Anyway, you could make it so different serial numbers get mounted in different places. Any of the cards for your camera show up on /camera, while your MP3 player shows up on /boombox or something.
I just want something that does it automatically, because I always forget to unmount before unplugging the camera...

It is very easy to put this into Google Earth... what I do is to find this location in GE, and observe the lat and lon in the lower left-hand corner and you need to set your GE preferences to decimal degrees. Then in your pano, click "place in google earth." A utility file will come up (it does on my Mac) click okay and you should have another screen that comes up with a default location. Be sure to click share with others and then put the lat and lon in the specified boxes and also the heading with 0 being north 90 is east, 180 is south, 270 is west. And say okay :) There you go... its pretty easy.

Hello Everyone,
I have a question about the St. Marys/Kingsland Ga area. I am in the U.S. Coast Guard and might be getting stationed down there this Summer. Will I be able to find birds down in that area or will I have to travel some to find them? If anyone has any info on hunting down there it would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to give Hogs a try so if you have any info on that too I would be very thankful for the info.
Good Luck this Spring!

That's pretty keen. But I think I like the basic version more.
Not a fan of the gold weapons or the way the helmet looks.
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
I loved Marvel Legends, I really did. And I stand by the fact that Toy Biz's legends line was and is the best toy line to date. (Yes cooler than Star Wars and MEgo. . .) Though with Hasbro the line has been really tough to track down, but nothing drastic as i only collect characters i like. Though with the past few waves i've been getting a little weirded out and down right ****ed off. First Red Hulk. . .I gotta buy all the figures to get the only one out of the wave i actually want? Then the Wal-Mart Wave...I gotta get a bunch of re do's and MISc characters to get Ares? WTF? This build a figure crap has gotten out of hand and has murdered this line. It's cool for huge characters like Fing Fang Foom, Galactus ETC, but for normal sized characters it's getting really old. Sorry for the rant but Ares being a BAF is just wrong.
Honestly, I don't get why someone would prefer a guy in a helmet with little or no back story over a EU character, and if this guy in a helmet does have a backstory it's EU!!!!
You could just buy the Marvel Select Red Hulk.
Buying figures you don't want to get the BAF has been an aspect of the line since the BAF concept began. Trust me, I've done it myself. The only wave I felt really was justified was the Sentinel in ML10. Since all of the figures but one were X-Men related. And regarding the size, the day of massive BAFs is over with. Especially with the price of oil. Hell it was over with after Apocalypse. Mojo and MODOK certainly weren't huge. Not to mention there's only so many recognizable HUGE characters who could be done.
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
Got a look at the Ares wave of figures at Walmart the other day. Picked up a few of the figures, and here's my quick review of the wave...
Ultimate War Machine: Nothing new here. A repaint of an earlier figure that was cool enough, but not worth buying again.
Kang: I bought Kang and like Kang very much, but he's not an extraordinary figure by any means. The head (face) sculpt is good though, the paint is decent, and it's a nice, tight, well made toy... so I'm happy.
Guardian: A big disappointment seeing as how this was one of the few that I wanted from this series. The paint on two of the figures that I saw was terrible, and I had to pass. I'll keep an eye open for a better version, but I'm in no hurry now.
Scarlet Spider: Nice enough looking figure, but I have no feelings for this version of Spidey.
Vision: Big disappointment number two here. Seeing as how I'd missed the Toy Biz version of this figure, I was looking forward to this one. The sculpt is decent (fair really), but again the paint was loose and sloppy on the two that I saw. In particular the paint on his head was really bad. I'll probably just pop for an old Toy Biz version on eBay now, and skip this unless I see one that's perfect at some point.
Heroes Reborn Iron Man: As much as I'm a sucker for just about any comic book version of Iron Man, I have no feelings for this one. That, and I'm not really impressed by the way it looks. The sculpt is far less than dynamic... and he kind of seems to have a smallish head.
Crossbones: Who?
Human Torch: This figure was the biggest surprise of the bunch, as I didn't expect to want it. I'd call this the best version of Torch that I've seen, and seeing as how I managed to score the transparent version, I'm calling this one of the best ML figures that I've bought in a while. It's no secret that I'm a sucker for transparent (clear plastic) figures, but even so, I think they did a really nice job with the sculpt (head isn't too small or weird looking), and all of the articulation seems perfect. Going back to the Kang figure, one of the things that sort of bothers me is the hip articulation that they chose (he stands bowlegged.) The Human Torch figure is handled so much better--very smartly done.
(Pics later, and "somewhere" else. )
Lastly... I have ZERO interest in the Ares build-a-figure from this series, so I'm in absolutely no rush to buy this entire set. And though the post Red Hulk series figures have gone back down in price to around $10, I'm still not feeling that I'm getting my money's worth from these toys, as most of them seem to be heavily reliant on recycled parts and are plagued by crappy loose paint jobs. I'm seeing about a dollars worth of effort (if that) from the figures in this wave... and I'm pretty sure that Hasbro can do better.
The Hasbro Marvel Q&A's are finally coming back. Here's what's up so far.
Action Figs:
Cool Toy Review:Hasbro Marvel Q&A
Hasbro delivers just under the wire so that we have something extra to be thankful this coming Thanksgiving Day. We submitted a diverse number group of questions this time around, and got some interesting answers. Hasbro even gave us a gift with Bonus Answer. How nice of them, and it's not even Christmas yet!
ActionFigs: Any plans for the characters from 'Agents of Atlas' to get some love in one of the figure lines anytime soon? The original mini-series featuring the so-called '50's Era Avengers' was a huge hit, even getting nominated for an Eisner. And now the team is getting their own ongoing that is launching out of Secret Invasion. Seems perfect for Marvel Universe.
Hasbro: While we don't see these 50's flashback players making it into the 2009 lineup (it's jam-packed with others right now), we do plan to weave in a few era specific characters /costumes starting with a classic Ms. Marvel. That doesn't mean that M-11 or Marvel Boy couldn't make it into the 2010 lineup, but Dark Hawk and Luke Cage are ready to fight them for a spot!
ActionFigs: Marvel Apes seems to have turned out to be a pretty major surprise hit for Marvel Comics. Already managing to expand with 4 more One-Shots and Crossover plans for 2009. Any plans for even a couple figures based on the storyline showing up in any of the figure lines? Even if it's just the major players like The Gibbon, Captain America, Speedball, and Ape-X.
Hasbro: Marvel Apes is well within the realm of possibilities, but it's not something that we have current plans for in 09.
ActionFigs: Back in September we asked about the upcoming Mail-Away for the Nick Fury figure in the 3 3/4" Marvel Universe line. At the time we were told that you'd be revealing information about the mail-away shortly. However since then we haven't heard anything. Anything more to share in regard to Nick Fury? Or is he still deep undercover?
Hasbro: You'll be seeing and hearing a lot more about Fury (and his top secret files) in December! All we can say right now is that the mail away figure will be really cool. More details will be made public soon.
ActionFigs: We saw early concept art of Superhero Squad Wave 12 at SDCC during the slideshow presentation. The wave consisting of AXM Beast & Avalanche, Captain America & Black Widow, Spider-Armor Spider-Man & Rhino, and Spider-Man & Tombstone. Recently this wave came up for Pre-Order in the latest issue of Diamond Comics Previews. However we still haven't seen any actual pictures of it as of yet. Any chance that we can get get a look at the 4 Packs that comprise this Wave?
Hasbro: Absolutely, check out new images of these figures (and a couple of other new Squad items) in the "new news" section of Hasbro.com/marvel on November 25th.
ActionFigs: A while back we were told that the Marvel team had finalized Wave 4 of the 3 3/4" Marvel Universe line. And were hard at work on Wave 5. Since it's a long time until the debut of the line, is there any chance we could get an update on who's coming in Wave 4? Something to wet our appetite and give us something new to talk about until the line debutes in March.
Hasbro: If it were up to me I'd spill it all, but I crack easily under pressure. I'll give you one brand new 2009 character hint, but that's it. "We now know that he wasn't what he appeared to be back in the day". Discuss amongst yourselves.
*Bonus Answer!
You didn't ask, but we thought we'd drop you a hint about the upcoming Punisher figure in Wave 1 of Universe. If you see one on shelf, you might want to consider adding it to your collection.that's all we'll say."
Kastor's Corner:Hasbro's Marvel Comics Q&A: The Answers!
We've passed on 5 of your burning Marvel Comics questions! So check out the latest scoop we've got for you this all-new, all-different monthly Q&A session with Hasbro.
Cool Toy Review: Is it still too early to talk about the upcoming X-Men Origins: Wolverine movie toy line yet? We saw a great banner at SDCC, but there hasn't been a lot of info since then...what scale will this line be in?
Hasbro: This has been a popular question over the past couple of months and the wait is almost over. There will be an announcement on December 17th (make sure to check out the news section of Hasbro.com/Marvel) that will provide many of the answers here.
Cool Toy Review: Will there be any new version of everyone's favorite Cajun thief X-Man, Gambit?
Hasbro: I think a lot of X fans would arm wrestle you over the "everyone's favorite" part. A new version of Gambit as a Horseman of Apocalypse could be pretty cool. What costume or era would you want to see?
Cool Toy Review: When you are selecting the characters for the line (Marvel Universe, Marvel Legends, Super Hero Squad), do you have a set number of characters that you NEED to include (and if so, who are they?) and how far obscure can you go with your choices before they are deemed "too obscure" (like Razorback!)
Hasbro: Now, we can tell by your question that you're a fan of Peter Parker The Spectacular Spider-Man and vintage 1970's Marvel lore. That means we like you already! What would you think of a Razorback and Lightmaster 2 pack? Wait...we already know the answer to that question.
Seriously though, let's use Super Hero Squad as the example. We don't have to include specific characters in the lineup, but there are certain characters (like Spider-Man) that continually outsell others because of the kid focused nature of this line. For this reason, we do tend to utilize these perennial heavy hitters a lot and we pair them with guys like Shang Chi and the Sentry. Lots of people want these guys, but they need a little super star power mixed in with them.
Cool Toy Review: We love Alpha Flight! Can we please get more characters from this much-missed team? (We're talking the John Byrne-era lineup here, nothing else)
Hasbro: Now we're talking, and we couldn't agree more! The Universe line will get its Puck (and others) at some point. We'll get at least one classic Alpha in year one if it's the last thing we do!
Cool Toy Review: We've recently flashed back to the classic Secret Wars toy line, which for many fans was the introduction to the Marvel Universe. However, the toy line did not last long and the majority of characters never got made. Would this be a storyline that you would consider re-visiting? I'd love to see all of the characters from the first issue's cover recreated in action figure form! (and with the characters we've seen so far, you're on the way already!)
Hasbro: Would we ever consider re-visiting the crossover series that launched em' all? Heck yeah. There are a bunch of key characters from this arc that simply need to get made, starting with Klaw. We've said many times before that almost everything is on the table for Universe, it all depends on how far collectors and fans want us to take it. If you want to go one step further, who wouldn't want the Beyonder in his 80's style leisure suit from Secret Wars II? Who's with me?
Interview: Hasbro Answers Nov 08
Well it looks like right before the big shopping day Hasbro gives us some answers and asks some questions back of the fans. Let's see what they have to say.
Kastor: Will we be seeing any army building packs in SHS? Since GH tends to repack troopers, will SHS do the same with Hand Ninjas, SHIELD Agents, and Skrulls, etc?
Hasbro: Yes, in fact there is a SHIELD / Skrull 2 pack coming out in the very near future.
Kastor: Scale has been an issue with Hasbro's original sculpts lately: Union Jack, Silver Surfer, Namor, and Vison come to mind. Can we see a return to a scale more in line with previous Marvel Legends?
Hasbro: As collectors know, there are cases where an existing base body sculpt is utilized for more than one character. This translates to an excellent representation of the original inspiration for the body and a good match (but not absolutely perfect) for the subsequent uses. Trust us when we say that we'd love to do completely new and original sculpts for each and every character that we put in the lineup, but the business reality is (with mass market action figure lines) that it isn't possible to do that. Let's take your first example, Union Jack. The base body comes from Quicksilver, so it wasn't sculpted specifically for UJ, but it's a darn close match and we've actually gotten a lot of great feedback on this one. Let's get real specific - are you referring to the height, the bulk or both?
Kastor: In Marvel Legends there has been a set number of figures in a wave. The number seems to fluctuate between 6 and 8. What can we expect for the 3 3/4 line for waves? Also, if those numbers are set, how many waves can we expect for 2009?
Hasbro: There are currently 5 waves planned for 2009 and the number of figures per wave will vary. There will be at least 34 single carded figures but there might also be plenty of other fun surprises along the way.
Kastor: Will the Fury Files figures be compatible with the current Hulk Movie figures?
Hasbro: They would certainly live together if you were to pose them out in the same diorama, but they weren't specifically designed to be a part of the same line if that's what you mean.
Kastor: We are drawing to a close of the Marvel Legends for 2008, and nothing about 2009 has been announced for the 6 inch line. Any teams or characters we might look forward to in 2009 for the 6 inch collectors? And may i offer Blink as a great suggestion to start 2009 off with?
Hasbro: The Exiles have a few alternate reality versions of characters that would make great additions to the Legends line. Blink is an awesome place to start along with Morph. However, we aren't ready to make any new 6" announcements just yet.
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
That sounds rather scary to me. It seems like they might be implying that The Punisher is going to be a chase figure. Chase figures can be a cool little bonus sometimes, but a character as widely known and liked as Punisher really, really needs to be available to everyone who wants him. I will be highly displeased if I have to resort to paying a scalper to add such an iconic character to my collection.*Bonus Answer!
You didn't ask, but we thought we'd drop you a hint about the upcoming Punisher figure in Wave 1 of Universe. If you see one on shelf, you might want to consider adding it to your collection.that's all we'll say."

Wrangell - St. Elias
National Park and Preserve
The Wrangell Mountains, which form much of Wrangell - St. Elias National Park and Preserve (WRST), are made up largely of numerous lava flows that have been erupted mostly from large broad volcanoes during the past 26 million years. This extensive volcanic terrain, which is called the Wrangell volcanic field, covers about 4,000 mile square (10,400 km2) and extends eastward from the Copper River Basin through the Wrangell Mountains, into the St. Elias Mountains of Alaska and the Yukon Territory of Canada.
The principal basement rocks on which the Wrangell volcanoes erupted are much older rocks and have had a complex geologic history. These rocks belong to what is referred to in the geologic literature as the Wrangellia terrane, which is part of an even larger group of exotic terranes - the Wrangellia composite terrane - that has been accreted to Alaska and the North American Continent during the past few hundred million years. On the basis of geophysical and fossil evidence, rocks of the Wrangellia terrane were formed in a tropical environment thousands of miles south of its present position. The Wrangellia terrane began as a volcanic arc about 300 million years ago, probably along the margin of an ancient North American continent. As arc-related volcanic activity waned, a rift developed between the arc and continent, allowing the eruption of thousands of cubic miles of basalt lava flows that flooded and filled the rift-formed basin. Subsequently, shallow warm seas inundated the land, depositing layers of marine limestone and other sediment on the volcanic rocks.
During the next 200 million years, the Wrangellia terrane was gradually transported northward, where it was welded to other terranes and eventually docked against western North America about 100 million years ago. It now forms a belt extending from southern Alaska to southern British Columbia. Subsequently, other terranes, such as those composing the Southern Margin composite terrane, have been carried northward and accreted to continental Alaska. The last terrane to arrive, the Yakutat terrane, docked about 26 million years ago, concurrent with, and partly responsible for the development of the Wrangell volcanic field.The Wrangells include exposed deformational structures that reflect at least three major episodes of mountain building. Over the entire area, rock units are folded, faulted, twisted and stretched, often in a spectacular manner (Shaine et al., 1973). Deformation occurs at all scales, recording the dynamic history of this landscape.
The mountains in WRST are part of the Pacific Mountain System, a belt of parallel mountain ranges separated by intervening lowlands bordering the Pacific Ocean. Lowlands are extensive only in the region's center and along its western and northwestern fringes. Elsewhere, the lowlands are sandwiched between mountains and sea, or occur as narrow valleys and plateaus grading into uplands and serrated peaks (U.S. Department of the Interior, 1974). The coast of WRST borders the Chugach and St. Elias mountains. Terrain is varied, with beach and dune ridges running parallel to the coast and glacial moraines and outwash plains widespread. Elevated marine terraces as high as 800 feet above sea level are present inland. A couple of large fjords, Icy Bay and Disenchantment Bay, indent the otherwise straight coastline. The region can be divided into four physiographic provinces, see Table 1 (Warhaftig, 1965).
Snow, Ice and Glaciers
Glaciers are the dominate sculptor that has produced today's landscape in WRST. Today glaciers cover approximately 20 percent of the 13 million acres within the park and preserve (National Park Service, 1998a). The coastal Chugach and St. Elias mountains are virtually inundated by icefields covering about 4 million acres of which the 80-milelong Bagley Icefield is the longest (U.S. Department of the Interior, 1974). Seasonal ice and snow cover affects the characteristics of aquatic ecosystems. They control the amount of light reaching the unfrozen water beneath the ice (Prowse and Stephenson, 1986). Ice can also prevent gas exchange between underlying waters and the atmosphere and may commonly lead to depletion of dissolved oxygen and the build up of reduced gasses such as CO2, CH4 and H2S (Rouse et al., 1997). The processes accompanying ice formation during freeze-up and break-up have a wide range of effects on the bed, banks, and biota of lakes and rivers. These include frazil ice (aggregate of ice crystals formed in supercooled turbulent water) impact on fish and invertebrates, anchor ice growth, elevated water levels, channel blockage and increased scouring (Prowse, 1994).
Glacier ice is a metamorphic rock that consists of interlocking crystals of the mineral ice and owes its characteristics to deformation under the weight of overlying snow and ice. Snow that survives a year or more gradually increases in density until it is no longer permeable to air, at which point it becomes glacier ice. Although now a rock, such ice has a density of about 0.9 g/cm3 and will float in water (Skinner and Porter, 1992). Glaciers generate their own stream systems, either on their surface or within and below the ice, in a similar manner to streams in limestone regions. During the peak period of melting in early summer, the stream that emerges at the terminus of a glacier is often a spectacular torrent, frequently flooding the valley floor below. Yet in winter, discharge is reduced to a mere trickle or locked solid. These extremes between summer and winter provide a fascinating range of meltwater features on and around glaciers (Hambrey and Alean, 1994).
The mass of a glacier is constantly changing as the weather varies from season to season and, on longer time scales, as local and global climate change. These ongoing environmental changes cause fluctuations in the amount of snow added to the glacier surface and in the amount of snow and ice lost by melting (Skinner and Porter, 1992). The development of meltwater channels on the surface of a glacier depends on the rate of melting, the rate of deformation of the ice, the extent of crevasses and the pattern of other structures. Surface channel systems develop best on stagnant and on cold glaciers, but will not appear at all on those with a large number of crevasses. Not a great deal is known about the internal drainage systems of glaciers. Nevertheless, through the use of dye tracers it is possible to monitor how fast water travels through them (Hambrey and Alean, 1994).
Coastal Environments
There have been some comprehensive studies of coastal circulation in the Gulf of Alaska as part of the Outer Continental Shelf Environmental Assessment Program (OCSEAP) of the Bureau of Land Management and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Reed et al., 1981). This work allowed a fairly detailed specification of the coastal flow regime in the northeast Gulf of Alaska near Yakutat. Along the northwest Gulf of Alaska (Prince William Sound -Copper River area through the Shelikof Strait), a well-defined westward coastal current is present known as the Kenai Current. In the northeast Gulf of Alaska, however, the sea-level data indicate little evidence of well-developed baroclinic coastal flow (driven by pressure gradient from freshwater drainage) near Sitka and Yakutat, with maximum net flow in winter during the period of maximum winds (Reed et al., 1981).
Portions of two glacial fjords are within WRST's coastal boundary, Icy Bay and Disenchantment Bay. Within them, water exchange may be partially restricted by sills near their entrances, over which the less dense and less saline surface water flows freely outward, but inward flow of the more dense marine water may be restricted. Upward mixing of salt causes surface salinity to increase with distance from the fjord head. Vertical circulation occurs primarily in winter. Nutrients are increased, both from terrestrial runoff and from upwelling of deeper waters (U.S. Department of the Interior, 1974).
Tidewater glaciers are very active along WRST's coast. Rapid advance of the Hubbard Glacier in 2002 closed off Russell Fjord at the head of Disenchantment Bay, causing waters in the fjord to rise 61 feet behind the ice wall before it broke, releasing peak flows of 1.8 million cfs into the bay.
Volcanic Environments
Volcanic activity occurred in three separate eras - Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic - in the Wrangell and part of the St. Elias mountains. Major eruptions have occurred as recently as 1,500 years ago (Lerbekmo and Campbell, 1969).
Most of volcanoes of the western Wrangell mountains are unlike other volcanoes located around the Pacific rim. Rather than erupting explosive lavas forming steep-sided cones, they have been built by the accumulation of hundreds of relatively fluid lava flows to form broad mountains with gentle slopes, typical of shield volcanoes. Now only youthful Mount Wrangell still displays a shield-like form; the other, generally older volcanoes have had much of their superstructure removed by glacial and other erosional processes. On the western flank of Mt. Drum are three large thermal springs known as mud volcanoes (Figure 4): Shrub, Upper Klawasi, and Lower Klawasi (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). These three mud volcanoes of the Klawasi group are evidence for the existence of a warm and possibly a hot water hydrothermal system in the Copper River Valley. These thermal springs are characterized by carbon dioxide gas and warm sodium bicarbonate and sodium chloride waters (Nichols and Yehle, 1961). A field visit in 1999 found the hot springs discharge to be similar, but somewhat more widespread than in the previous two years, with evidence of animal and vegetation deaths from carbon dioxide exposure in the immediate area (Sorey et al., 2000). Maximum fluid temperatures in each of the three main discharge areas, ranging from 48-54°C, were equal to or higher than those measured in the two previous years (Sorey et al., 2000). The origin of the saline water in the Copper River Basin is not known with certainty (Hawkins and Motyka, 1984). Motyka et al. (1989) believe that an igneous intrusion is releasing carbon dioxide and causing metamorphic decarbonation of limestone beds beneath the Klawasi group of mud volcanoes. The high arsenic concentrations suggest that the basal portion of the Chitiston limestone is the source of the metamorphic carbon dioxide (Motyka et al., 1989). The major growth of the Shrub and Upper Klawasi cones ceased prior to the last major glaciation, but intermittent activity has continued on a minor scale to the present. The Lower Klawasi mud volcano, one of the largest cones in the region, was formed principally in post-glacial time (Nichols and Yehle, 1960).The western Wrangells area captured the interest of the state of Alaska and U.S.Geological Survey due to the potential for geothermal energy development (NationalPark Service, 1986). Extreme climatic conditions in Alaska and the lack of transportation infrastructure and viable markets make geothermal energy unprofitable for extraction. The Bureau of Land Management has never issued a geothermal steam leasein Alaska and no sales are scheduled in the foreseeable future (Barr, 2001).

A Preeminent Mountain Wilderness
You have to see Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve to believe it-and even then you are not too sure. The number and scale of everything is so enormous.
- Peaks upon peaks.
- Glaciers after glaciers.
- If you follow any of the many braided rivers and streams to their source, you will find either
- a receding glacier,
- an advancing glacier, or
- a tidewater glacier
- Several mountain ranges converge here, and the park includes 9 of the 16 highest peaks in the United States.
- The total acreage makes this the largest U.S. national park, the size of six Yellowstones.
- And beyond all that, it contains a representative sampling of Alaska's wildlife and old mining sites indicative of man's early explorations here.
Four major mountain ranges meet here:
- The Wrangells huddle in the northern interior;
- the Chugach guard the southern coast;
- the Saint Elias Mountains rise abruptly from the Gulf of Alaska thrusting northward past the Chugach and on toward the Wrangells;
- and the eastern end of the Alaskan Range, mapped as the Nutzatin and Mentasta Mountains, form part of the preserve's northern boundary.
- The Bagley Icefield near the coast is the largest subsolar icefield in North America and spawns such giant glaciers as the Tans, Miles, Hubbard, and Guyot.
- The Malaspina Glacier flows out of the St. Elias Range between Icy Bay and Yakutat Bay in a mass larger than the State of Rhode Island. It carries so much glacial silt that plants and trees take hold on its extremities, grow to maturity, and topple over the edge as the glacier retreats.
- Flowing from the glaciers are a multitude of meandering rivers and braided streams. The Copper River, the largest, forms the western boundary of the park starting in the Wrangells and emptying into the Gulf of Alaska in Chugach National Forest.
Similarly gold was transported from the Nabesna area. Today mining still occurs on private lands within the park, and you can see evidence of earlier mining, including the ruins of the Kennecott mines, which have been placed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Indian villages expanded and a number of new towns sprang up in mining's heyday. Copper Center, Chitina, Gulkana, and Chistochina are among the old Athapascan settlements. Yakutat, on the coast, is a traditional Tlingit fishing village.
Though the vegetation may seem sparse, especially in the interior, the park contains a variety of wildlife.
- Dall sheep and mountain goats patrol the craggy peaks.
- Herds of caribou feed on the lichen and low woody plants around the Wrangells.
- Moose browse in sloughs and bogs in the coastal lowlands and in brushy areas, which also attract brown/grizzly bears.
- Black bears roam throughout the park.
- Bison were released in the Copper and Chitina River valleys in 1950 and 1962 respectively and remain as separate herds today.
- Many rivers, streams, and lakes provide spawning grounds for salmon and other fish.
- The Copper River drainage and the Malaspina forelands are major flyways for migratory birds and include prime nesting sites for trumpeter swans.
- The coastal areas are habitat for marine mammals, including sea lions and harbor seals.

I think it was 1973. I remember that because I had a 1970 Plymouth Duster and I had the tail fan laid out on the back window deck. The car was copper-colored, and it looked great. I guess it's time I tell the story.
I was in college in the Boston area, and I came home for the weekend just to hunt spring gobblers. It was near midnight when I got home, and it was raining. My dad had located one for me and asked if I still wanted to go in the rain, and I said, "That's what I came home for."
We got on the top of the hill at daybreak and heard a gobbler down the hill near a pipeline right-of-way. We hurried down to a bench, and set up with our backs to the root ball of a fallen black cherry tree. The only call I had was an old Penn's Woods single reed diaphragm with black tape on it. The gobbler answered and steadily closed the distance.
The shotgun I was using was my dad's old Ithaca double barrel because my Ithaca model 37 pump was broken (thanks to one of my younger brothers.) At about 50 yards he began to circle to our right, and I had to shift the stock of the gun from my right shoulder to my left in order to put the bead on him. I didn't go all the way left-handed because I still had my right hand on the grip, my left hand on the forearm, and was sighting with my right eye. Yes, awkward.
When he got to about 40 yards, and to my extreme right, I finally lit the powder. He went down in a heap. To this day that's the longest shot I've ever taken, and only one of two beyond 30 yards. His beard was shredded by some shot, but I still have it.
I carried that 20½ pound bird with 1" spurs to the top of the hill. That turkey had lice, and by the time we got to my dad's International Scout I was crawling with them. (It's the only turkey I ever got that had lice.) On the way out we met a couple of guys who were hunting that gobbler every day. They were pretty disgusted that a kid came home from college and shot it. They had the reputations of good turkey hunters, but I was the one that got the gobbler.
I was hooked.

The 40th Anniversary of the First Moon Landing
I remember staying up late on July 20th, 1969 and watching those blurry video pictures of the moon landing with so much anticipation and awe. That there could be live video transmitted from the moon was breathtaking in and of itself. How amazing that we could see grainy pictures of the landing and Neil Armstrong stepping off the Lunar Lander onto the surface of the moon for the first time. In fact, the blurriness of it all left so much more to the imagination than today's high definition video could ever impart. Finally a great optimistic dream was realized amidst the horrible unrest of the Vietnam War and the 1960s.
Now we've learned that through an incredibly stupid bureaucratic decision, the original video tape that recorded this historic event was written over for "budgetary" reasons.
However, all is not lost as several other recordings were made around the world. Now, the same technical wizards who have transferred to digital and restored various black-and-white Hollywood movies are in the process of resurrecting this incredible footage, making it far clearer than was originally seen on television.
Here is some of the footage.
Also just released by NASA are photographs of the original moon landing sites made by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter. Yes, we now have verifiable evidence that we did indeed land on the moon! In some of these incredible pictures, you can see the astronauts footpaths (see above).
And finally, today, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first lunar landing, NASA and Google announced the launch of the Moon in Google Earth, an interactive, 3D atlas of the moon, viewable with Google Earth 5.0.

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
While this apartment has a great location in Latin Quarters, we didn't feel very welcomed by the host. Our plane arrived later than expected and it took us longer to get to the apartment. We called many times the number of the agent that we were given and asked to contact in case of delays. Nobody answered for two hours. The next door crepe owners were extremely nice and allowed us to use their phone and internet to try to connect with our hosts. An agent finally arrived and gave us a brief tour of the place. She looked too busy to spend time with us. The apartment was not bad, but definitely very petit. Bedroom was small with a smaller bed that is not long enough for a 6 foot person. The bedroom window looks out into an inner court with trash cans, which made it very loud every time one of the neighbors threw away trash. When someone walks outside the building, lights turn on automatically and illuminate the entire bedroom at night due to an absence of heavy curtains in the room. This apartment didn't feel like someone spent time preparing it for new guests. There were no soap left. Overall, it was definitely not worth the price and while waiting for the agent to arrive we found a hotel room in the area for less. When we asked via e-mail for an extra key since there were two of us staying at the apartment, we got a very dry and cold "no, sorry". Despite the discomforts of the apartment, we still enjoyed the convenience of its location.

God og koselig leilighet i Marais. Vi (to voksne og to tenåringer) hadde fem netter i leiligheten over nyttår. Det fungerte super fint for oss. Meget sentral beliggenhet i et veldig hyggelig område av Paris med mange små spennende butikker og en kort avstand til mange attraksjoner. Området skal være et overflødighetshorn av delikatesser butikker. Rolig oppgang og leilighet sted "i midten" av leiligheten trapperom, gjør det oppleves veldig stille. De eneste lydene kom fra etasjen over dem - og det var bare hyggelig å vite at vi var helt alene i Paris :-) Vi vil definitivt gå tilbake til leiligheten i Rue St. Claude. Godt Nyttår!

god flat, lite problem den første natten fordi døren lukket fron Interiør. Vi kalte mennesker på kafé for å åpne. Ved 23:00 ingen var på offis. Og politiet ikke kom. Etter at alt var godt.
good flat, little problem the first night because, the door closed fron the interieur. We called people at the café to open. At 11 pm nobody were at the offici. And police not came. After that, all was good.
Very nice,safe , bright flat( 3 french windows facing rue Lepic) in a very convenient location on the foot of Montmartre, 3 subway station with 3 different lines within 5 minutes walk, bakery and supermarket direct on the street, lot of eateries in the neighborhood, despite living street under the windows quiet in the night, all neccessary amenities in the flat , conversation with the agency prompt , late check in and late check out was no problem for no extra fee...sofa in the kitchen was a little bit worn , cleanliness in the kitchen could be somehow better, but definitely much more pros, we would stay there again..
A very pleasent stay in a nice apartment. Location is great. We had a wunderfull time.
Will come back for sure.
Thank you
Nice apartment, great location. I would stay here again. The bed was very comfy and plenty of space for a couple. There were a few small negatives: the apartment is a little noisy until midnight and you can slightly hear the neighbours after that. The apartment is on the fourth floor (no lift) but that was ok for us. Finally, it could do with someone spending an afternoon with a screw driver in the apartment just fixing a few minor things.
Cosy, clean and spacious apartment (we were 4 people). Kitchen very well equipped. Location is top. Shops, starbucks and subway around the corner. Nearby parking in Clichy Montmartre (www.interparking-france.com 15 E per day). At night there is street noise in the living room. In the bedroom you hear nothing.
Wonderful and really nice place in an excellent district near restaurants and bars! Perfect for a family as well as friends! Host is very nice!
Great little appartment; lived up to expectations. Provided all you need for a short holiday stay in Paris. Good shops on Rue Bretagne if you want to pick up something to eat-in. Le Progress bar round the corner great for a drink and watching the world go by. 15 minute walk to Notre Dame and easy access to the rest of Paris.
It is a very Nice apartment and very good for a family with kids in all ages.

Princeton researchers to lead major Pentagon-funded initiatives
Posted May 27, 2009; 10:38 a.m.
The U.S. Department of Defense has selected Princeton engineers to lead two new multi-institutional research initiatives, one aimed at transforming wireless telecommunications networks and the other at inventing materials that adapt themselves to changing loads and environments.
The wireless telecommunications project will be led by Robert Calderbank, professor of electrical engineering and mathematics, and is expected to receive $7 million over five years. The structural materials project will be led by Ilhan Aksay, professor of chemical engineering, and is to receive $7.5 million.
The grants were among 69 recently announced by the Pentagon as part of its Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) program.
In addition to the two Princeton-led initiatives, University researchers are involved in two other newly announced MURI grants. Robert Cava, professor of chemistry, is a member of a team based at Stanford University investigating high-temperature superconductors. Yiguang Ju and Richard Miles, professors of mechanical and aerospace engineering, are participating in an initiative based at Ohio State University to develop "plasma-assisted combustion" technology for jet and rocket propulsion.
A major grant from the Air Force is funding research on a new type of telecommunications network that does not have a backbone of cell phone towers or other fixed structures. The work is enabled by an understanding of underlying mathematical structure of networks, such as the simulation of the Internet depicted here. In the illustration, failures at the green nodes cause changes in communication between the black and yellow nodes and between the pink and blue nodes. The researchers are conducting such tests with the help of an experimental network called PlanetLab. (Illustration: Courtesy of Aarti Singh)
The wireless telecommunications project will develop the fundamental science needed to design and manage a new type of wireless network that will not have a backbone of fixed infrastructure such as cell phone towers. Instead, these "ad hoc" networks would consist of mobile devices that find and use each other on the fly to enable timely and reliable communication.
The absence of backbone infrastructure makes these ad hoc networks extremely challenging to manage, particularly in environments characterized by high interference and intermittent connectivity, according to the researchers.
"Our project is organized around the idea that transformational change in network management will require extraordinary interdisciplinary breadth," said Calderbank, "in particular the infusion of fundamentally new mathematical ideas from algebraic topology and compressive sensing."
Reflecting the mix of engineering and mathematics, Calderbank and his co-investigators at Princeton -- Mung Chiang and H. Vincent Poor of electrical engineering and Jennifer Rexford of computer science -- are all associated with the Program in Applied and Computational Mathematics.
The group also includes researchers from the California Institute of Technology, Stanford University, the University of California-Irvine, the University of Pennsylvania, Arizona State University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The project is funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research.
Engineers at Princeton and Harvard are developing new types of materials that have networks of pores, as in bone. The channels would carry new material, in liquid form, that repairs and strengthens the structure where needed. The Army-funded research aims to produce highly adaptable structural materials inspired by the multifunctional abilities of biological materials. (Illustration: Courtesy of Jean-Hervé Prévost, Daniel Dabbs, Ilhan Aksay and Erin Long)
The goal of the materials science project, sponsored by the Army Research Office, is to develop adaptive materials that are able to repair and strengthen themselves when needed. The researchers took their inspiration from biology, Aksay said. "With man-made materials, once you make it, it stays put just as you made it, until the material fails. In biological systems, the material adapts to its environment and uses."
Bone, for example, heals itself when broken and becomes weaker, absorbing back into the body, when not used, Aksay said. Bone also is multi-functional, not just providing structure, but housing bone marrow, protecting blood vessels, storing minerals.
A key to replicating such functions will be to develop porous materials, similar to the structure of bone, through which new material can flow to repair weak spots. The researchers plan to develop an embedded sensing system for knowing what areas need strengthening. They also will investigate methods for directing and moving fluid within the material to where it is needed.
The project builds on previous work by Aksay, George Whitesides at Harvard University and colleagues, who established a Biologically Inspired Materials (BiMat) research institute, first funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Helping to lead the new work at Princeton will be Howard Stone, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, and Jean-Hervé Prévost, professor of civil and environmental engineering. The team also includes George Whitesides, Zhigang Suo and Joanna Aizenberg at Harvard.

Discontinued Product
2.0 Cu. Ft. FastDry Ventless Washer Dryer Combo with Adapter Kit
Sorry, the manufacturer is no longer producing this product.
Description & Highlights
EdgeStar 2.0 Cu. Ft. Ventless Washer Dryer Combo with Adapter Kit - White
The revolutionary FastDry drying technology, built-in water heater, and unrivaled settings customization are just a few of the features that combine to make the EdgeStar 2.0 Cu. Ft. FastDry Ventless Washer Dryer Combo with Adapter Kit (CWD1510WKIT) one of the most versatile and efficient combination washer/dryer units available. Inside and out, this model is designed and built to outperform others. Using ventless condensation drying methods like many other combo washer/dryers, the EdgeStar CWD1510WKIT stands apart by employing the use of unique cyclonic action drying technology. When drying, air is forced through the condensing chamber in a cyclonic pattern that helps better circulate air within the space, allowing the machine to remove moisture from the chamber with unmatched efficiency. While other machines simply tumble the load, the EdgeStar washer dryer combo takes it a step further by infusing higher velocity airflow to speed up the drying process, meaning less waiting and less wrinkles. The adapter kit includes one (1) Y-connector faucet adapter that allows you to provide both hot and cold water from a single water outlet, and a quick connect faucet adapter that lets you use any standard faucet as a water source.
All-In-One Laundry Machine:The CWD1510W is ideal for homes that lack the proper ventilation and space to accommodate full size units
Variety of Wash Cycles:There are seven (7) different wash cycles, three (3) wash/rinse temperatures, five (5) spin speeds, three (3) soil level settings, and a self-clean setting that utilizes extra high levels of heat to remove any buildup
Impressive Cycle Customization:Custom settings for every cycle give you the power to precisely tailor operation to the exact demands of any and all loads – there's even a "favorite" setting
FastDry Drying Technology:As the only combo washer/dryer with this technology, the EdgeStar CWD1510W provides the most drying effectiveness by use of forced cyclonic airflow technology proven to reduce drying time
Unmatched Adjustable Spin Time:With a maximum spin time of 9 minutes, this EdgeStar washer dryer combo achieves water extraction levels other models can't
Extra-Wide Spin Speed Range:From 400 RPM all the way to 1200 RPM, this model has the spinning versatility to handle delicates as well as large and bulky items
Fully Integrated Water Heater:Equipped with a built-in water heater, the CWD1510W heats water to a higher temperature, and more quickly and efficiently than most other combo washer/dryers
Durable Construction:The tub is constructed from high-quality polyurethane to keep noise and heat radiation to an absolute minimum, and the top of the unit features a unique scuff-resistant textured workspace
In-Home Service:Included with the purchase of this unit is a one year parts and labor warranty that includes in-home service
Adapter Kit Included:Use the Y-connecter adapter and quick connect faucet adapter to make using any standard faucet a breeze
Note: The adapter kit ships separate from washer dryer combo units via UPS.

As a result of the plot being shared with things such as .Hack and Accel World, much of the plot line has been done before. That being said, SAO pulls off these already done twists and give new life to them in a way that makes it a lovely and entertaining anime to watch. I was enthralled with the pairing of Asuna and Kirito since a few episodes in. So once the second arc started I quick became annoyed with all the near-romantic scenes between Kirito and Suguha.

Tornados are not unusual in NC. But tornados of that magnitude are.
We normally get EF0's and EF1"s. We do not get the biggies.
WE had one come thru our subdivision 2 years ago. NO 911 calls. The tornado went thru around 6 pm. By dark the guys had not only opened all the roads in the sub they also opened one lane of the main road, had all the trees off of houses and roofs tarped.
24 people died in NC.

Please see my post in your thread regarding "what if I get an MH in two venues". It got kinda long so here is my reply.
"I run springer field trials and all my dogs are force fetched. They can also run decent land blinds. I only trained one of them to run water blinds that I ran in hunt tests. I know they would pass a retriever SH test. I will agree the water work at spaniel hunt tests is quite weak and painful to watch but I would bet some serious money that I could run a field bred springer and pass an MH retriever test faster than you could make an FC springer. There are are a pretty fair number of spaniel field trials in Texas, you would not have to travel far. I would even give you a puppy when I breed my female, you can have pick of the litter if the bet is substantial enough. If you don't like one of mine I will get you one out of any litter you can find. You seem to know alot about spaniels and their field trial gunning and what the dogs are capable of. I will bet you 10 grand. Youngest to accomplish their goal wins. Puppies can come from any litter in the country. "
Lets work something out.

The official site today announced that Aayla Secura [Quinlan Vos'] blue Twi'lek girl apprentice will be portrayed by a real-life, flesh and blood extra (model / actress)!
Word was Lucas saw the "Darkness" story arc (when Quinlan battles the Anzati Dark Jedi and his legion of vampires) and liked the Aayla cover and said "put her in the movie!"
She will be a background Jedi getting some action during a big battle sequence in Episode 2 (let's discuss Aayla and no spoilers - those who know the movie story already know which battle Aayla would likely appear in).
So is it cool?
Do you think Aayla will die in this sequence?
Think we'll get our second EU action figure from Prequel comics? (if Deluxe Maul was the first? ...or I don't know if you count Snowbi-Wan's brief appearence in Jedi Quest (as the figure is the wrong age to be from that comic regardless if the outfit is the same). Anyway, we do have 3 Twi'lek chics in our collection already, and Ann and Tan Gella (Sebulba's massage girls) are blue Twi'leks as well.
So how many blue Twi'lek chics should Hasbro make? Aayla Secura is now a movie character and just as legit as Sebulba's girls...and Aayla is a female Jedi Knight we'll get to see whoop some Anzati....!
What do you think?

Is Health care constitutional?
I don't know.
Is undeclared war that goes on and on?
One cannot reason someone out of something they were not reasoned into. - Jonathan Swift
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
For physicians, the fundamental problem of Medicare is that the rates are too low. For other types of providers, Medicare rates are often the highest they receive relative to other insurers. By the way, Medicare claim administration expenses run about 2%, which is a small faction of the cost of most private plans. One of the reasons is that private pans incur substantial costs trying to determine if another payer might be responsible for the cost (coordination of benefits, subrogation of benefits, split claims, etc.).
For institutional providers, the biggest nightmare of Medicare is uncertainty concerning the rates that will be paid. Prices are based of complex cost analyses and the rates paid are simply estimates pending a future audit. The rate setting process does nt encourage efficiency and can result in significant surprises when audits are complete.
Medicare actually pays the intermediaries in advance, providing them with trust accounts against which claim payments are drawn pending periodic reconciliations.
And yes, healthcare is expensive, and will likely recieve 100% of the blame for any forthcoming tax increases, but let's not forget about two wars, one in particular, that has cost more than all this healthcare combined thus far, and has had the net effect of replacing one untrustworthy president with another. Pardon me, replacing TWO untrustworthy presidents with TWO more!
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
I'm quite sure you get pissed off when people outside your profession take potshots at your expertise. I'm sure you'll understand when an insurance professional feels the same way. If insurance companies were making so much money raping and pillaging the public, their would be a lot more of them competing for the gravy. There will be even fewer now.
By the way, what drives the cost of insurance up? Could it be the cost of the care, the paperwork, the mandates, litagation, CYA testing?

Yes, I do get peeved when people take unjustified shots at my profession, but not when they are justified, which unfortunatley is sometimes the case. Medicine, especially surgery, is the most regulated, policed (self and otherwise), and scrutinized profession I can think of, except maybe pesticide application under a democratic EPA.
I wouldn't neglect to include American's fatty, caloric-packed, processed-food diets in the blame game of health care costs. The fact our life-expectancy is anywhere near where it is, is a testament to the miracle of modern medicine! Think of how much that "we" eat that comes in boxes, wrappers, cellophane bags, or handed to us from a teenager in a window wearing a headphone.

Five weeks following the renewal date we received a letter from HealthNet stating that all coverage had been terminated effective as of the prior renewal date because of "non-payment of premium" and a decision not to renew policies with small businesses. At its annual meeting that year, HealthNet announced the successful strategy they had followed to terminate coverage for unprofitable small business accounts and awarded a bonus to the staff person who had come up with the idea.
To rub salt in the wound, the fact that the cancellation was made retroactive meant that everyone covered had been without coverage for more than 30 days. Given my own medical problems, I went without insurance for four months until I managed to join an association plan during an open enrollment period. Everyone else obtained policies but with prior condition exclusions.
Nobody has specifically mentioned what this does to our personal freedoms.
1) We presently can choose to purchase health insurance or not. That option will be removed with a tax penalty. (Although if you're going to have a penalty, I think it should be upon an individual rather than their employer. And the penalty should be a substantial one, no a slap on the wrist compared to the cost of actually purchasing coverage).
2) If someone wants to buy catastrophic coverage only, with a high deductible or a co-pay, it will simply no longer be available. Even Medicare has a co-pay.
Private insurors supplement Medicare with policies that absorb the co-pay. No need for that kind of private industry support with a program that has no co-pay.
3) A young, healthy person who is not married; or unable to have children; or doesn't want to have children, will not be able to purchase a policy without maternity or pedicatric care. Neither will a woman who is past child-bearing age.
4) Since there will no longer be any financial advantage for those people who don't smoke, stay slim, and avoid substance abuse (no pre-existing conditions are excluded), I'd bet the farm that the govt eventually comes up with some kind of "tax" or "penalty" for smoking, obesity, and alcohol consumption. In Japan, there is already a monitoring of waist-size with a penalty attached.
I thought this provision was interesting (if accurate)Why would this not also apply to non-physician owners? This provision is ancillary to the limitation of physicians owning hospitals unless they are approved Medicare providers by Feb. 2010 (oops, too late under the Senate bill, but extended to Dec. 2010 under the "reconcilation").If you are a physician owner and you want to expand your hospital? Well, you can't (Section 6001 (i) (1) (B). Unless, it is located in a county where, over the last five years, population growth has been 150% of what it has been in the state (Section 6601 (i) (3) ( E)). And then you cannot increase your capacity by more than 200% (Section 6001 (i) (3) (C)).
The Senate bill provided for $750/employee penalty for employers of 101 or more) for not providing insurance, but that is raised to $2000 or $3000 under the reconcilation. Quite a difference between the two.
Do we really expect that taxes on medical device mfrs and pharma companies will yield a long-term cost reduction? Costs of additional taxes are usually passed onto the consumer of the products. Of course, govt holds the purse-strings in determining reimbursements or Medicare and Medicaid; and likely, at least indirectly, under these new programs (via the rate restraints on private insurors as long as the private insurors remain in this business).
So, those companies producing those goods, if compelled to offset those penalty charges on their balance sheet & unable to raise prices ... it seems logical that they will have to trim other expenses. R&D maybe? Lay off some employees maybe?
No problem those people can always go to work for the IRS, which will need 16,000 more employees to make sure everyone pays their penalties or for their health insurance.
In addition to the 10% tax on tanning salon services, there is a 5% tax on cosmetic surgery. That last tax is likely only to affect those that can afford elective cosmetic surgery .. the rest of us will just stay ugly
