BATON ROUGE, La. – LSU's offense has yet to get revved up a whole bunch against Ole Miss in the final SEC series of the season. After two games at Alex Box Stadium, though, the No. 2⁄3-ranked Tigers will certainly live with the results.
Raph Rhymes' dramatic two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning as the exception, and that vaulted LSU to a 5-4 win at newly christened Skip Bertman Field.
Facing Ole Miss reliever Aaron Greenwood, who had been stingy for 3-plus innings, Tiger cleanup hitter Mason Katz dumped a one-out single to the middle of the infield, just far enough to elude the Rebels' two middle infielders.
Rhymes got the count to 2-and-1 and then blistered a pitch into the seats to the right of the scoreboard to set off a wild celebration among the crowd 10,105.
That came on the heels of Ole Miss (35-20, 14-15 SEC) erasing a two-run deficit with two runs in the seventh and one in the eighth.
With Ole Miss down 3-1 in the seventh inning, nine-hole hitter Will Jamison flared a base hit into left field that dropped before Rhymes could grab it. Jamison stole second on a Nick Rumbelow pitch in the dirt to Tanner Mathis, who walked after a wild pitch to put runners on the corners.
Austin Anderson drilled a line-drive single over the right side of the infield to score Jamison. Two ground-ball outs produced the second run of the inning, with Andrew Mistone driving home Mathis to knot the score, 3-3.
The Rebels crept ahead in the eighth inning when LSU uncharacteristically unraveled. Joey Bourgeois came on to start the inning and walked Sikes Orvis on four pitches. With pinch-runner Cameron Dishon on base, Bourgeois' next pitch was wild.
The Tiger senior rallied to get Holt Perdzock swinging on a pitch in the dirt, but when Ty Ross threw to first base, Dishon broke for third. Tyler Moore's throw was low and hopped past Christian Ibarra and into the Ole Miss bullpen, permitting Dishon to dash home.
That was the Rebels last hurrah, though.
Senior Chris Cotton came on in the ninth inning and got Ole Miss in order to clinch the series for LSU (48-7, 23-6).
The teams wrap up the series at noon today in a marquis pitching matchup worthy of a Friday night in the SEC. Ole Miss' Bobby Wahl (9-0) and the Tigers' Ryan Eades (8-1) are both regarded as possible first-round picks in the MLB draft next month.

I hate this unit. I bought this plus the CNPJVC1 to fit my JVC deck.
First of all it needs to be programmed to the particular head unit. This should be pretty straight forward, but it's far from it. The website which is listed as the site to download drivers no longer exists. So after hours of searching I found the new site voxxintl.com/xmdirect. However, the programming "ONLY" works if Microsoft Explorer is your default browser (My default browser is Firefox) Arrgg!!!! So, from the site I just provided, you must download the software packet. The rest of the programming details are listed on the website.
The connectors are very flimsy, and there is no explanation on how to make the 12V connection. After some research I found that the yellow wire + the inline fuse need to be connected to the 12v constant from the deck. The black wire should be grounded.

This tuner works well in conjunction with my JVC head unit. There are three sets of preset channels (6 stations each) with this installation. It was installed in a 2011 Honda Civic.
The instructions are quite explicit about mounting the XM satellite antenna on the top of the car, not inside or on the dashboard. My installer found a neat way to install the antenna on the roof, just above the point where the rearview mirror attaches to the windshield. The antenna is much smaller than the one on my previous 2005 Civic with factory Nav/XM unit, about 3.5cm on a side. The antenna is hardly noticeable on top of the car, even though it's in front. Reception is excellent, better than the XM in my previous car.

First, YOU MUST HAVE ACCESS TO A COMPUTER WITH WINDOWS XP. XP is the only platform that works, not Vista, not 7, just XP.
With that said, the programming is simple. Install the software from the given site, open it, connect the module via given USB cable, and click on your head units info and click program. Connect the XM Module and specific cable to the Audiovox module, plug it into your head unit, activate it, and enjoy.
I had no problems with it, except the Windows XP issue, it works great, and the install was easy. Just remember to program the module before you install it.

I wound-up using a standard Sirius receiver into a four channel mixer then into the aux jack. I use the other channels for other aux channel inputs to the radio. Cool.

This device works great on my fancy JVC stereo. I had to read a lot to figure out how all these different adapters (HD ready, Bluetooth ready, Sat ready...etc) work.
However, the instructions are misleading. You must have 32bit Windows XP to program the adapter to match your stereo connections. The adapter cable you purchase separately is only the beginning. The order is this: 1. Go to Audiovox.com to get program and install it. 2. Connect SAT adapter and apply driver. 3. Run SAT adapter update (like firmware) that tells your adapter how your brand-name car stereo thinks. It is simple but the online instructions are a bit out of order. WinXP 64Bit will give driver errors!!! Had to whip out the ancient laptop with 32bit XP on it. But it works!

The only problem that I am having for the second time is this XM Direct losing it connections with my JVC car system and I had to go back to B*** B** twice to have them reset it. The tech suggested placing a switch on the XM Direct system so in case it goes out again I can reset the sytem using he switch, but it is annoying that this is happening but it sounds great.

When the unit arrived, it would not allow me to download the firmware from XM to make the unit work. After phone calls and transfers to Audiovox, they decided it was a defective cable and sent out a new one. Low and behold, it was the cable. Then I had to call back because my radio was so new it wasn't on the list of firmware downloads. Again, depending on which tech I spoke with, I was either out of luck and there was no way it would work, or I was told to try a random radio code. Alas, after inputing the first radio code I tried, it worked like a champ! Great product (once you get parts that work)........poor support. My rating reflects the broken product and multiple phone calls. If I was rating the product alone after I got it to work, I'd give it a 5 out of 5. A LOT of effort to make a "plug and play" system work.

The unit was easy to install, however it required Windows XP to program.
I had to borrow a computer that still had XP on it to do the programming. In use it receives channel as expected. The problem I have fond is that when i turn off the Car/radio and then turn it back on the satellite tuner has jumped three stations. So,if I am listening to channel 77, whe I turn it back on it is on channel 80. To try to reprogram it i would have to borroww another computer with XP.

In his new book, author David Quammen tracks the most deadly pandemics across the world.
In 2000, David Quammen sat around a campfire in the middle of the forests of Gabon, in west Africa, with a dozen Gabonese gold miners. They had taken a break from digging for gold in equatorial mud to work as porters, bushwhackers and cooks for Mike Fay, a tropical field biologist who was traversing 2,000 miles of Central African forest, on foot.
"He took data every step of the way," Quammen, an award-winning author, later wrote, "recording elephant dung piles and leopard tracks and chimpanzee sightings and botanical identifications, all going into his waterproof yellow notebooks in scratchy left-handed print, while the crewmen strung out behind him toted his computers, his satellite phone, his special instruments and extra batteries, as well as tents and food and medical supplies enough for both him and themselves."
Quammen struck up a conversation with two of these crewmen over a fireside dinner of fufu ("like an edible wallpaper paste"), about a rash of deaths in their home village four years earlier. They told Quammen about the group of boys that had gone hunting for porcupines, but instead found a dead chimpanzee. They brought it back to the village, where people cooked it and ate it. Two days later, all of them started getting sick, with vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, headache. Some of the family members who cared for them fell ill, too. In the end 31 people got sick and 21 died. One of the crewmen watched his brother and nearly all of his family die, holding his niece as she took her last breaths.

Anemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to the body's tissues.
Normally, red blood cells last for about 120 days before the body gets rid of them. In hemolytic anemia, red blood cells in the blood are destroyed earlier than normal.
Immune hemolytic anemia occurs when antibodies form against the body's own red blood cells and destroy them, because the immune system mistakenly recognizes these blood cells as foreign.
Anemia - immune hemolytic; Autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA)
Possible causes include:
When antibodies form against red blood cells for no reason, it is called idiopathic autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
The antibodies may also be caused by:
Risk factors are related to the causes.
You may not have symptoms if the anemia is mild. If the problem develops slowly, symptoms that may occur first include:
If the anemia gets worse, symptoms may include:
The first treatment tried is usually a steroid medication, such as prednisone. If steroid medications do not improve the condition, treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) or removal of the spleen (splenectomy) may be considered.
You may receive treatment to suppress your immune system if you do not respond to steroids and splenectomy. Medications such as azathioprine (Imuran), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), and rituximab (Rituxan) have been used.
Blood transfusions are given with caution, because the blood may not be compatible and it may cause more red blood cell destruction.
The disease may start quickly and be very serious, or it may remain mild and not need specific treatment.
In most people, steroids or splenectomy can control anemia. In others, treatment can usually partially control the anemia.
Severe anemia rarely leads to death. Severe infection may occur as a complication of treatment with steroids, other medications that suppress the immune system, or splenectomy, because these treatments impair the body's ability to fight infection.
Call your health care provider if you have unexplained fatigue or chest pain, or signs of infection.
Screening for antibodies in donated blood and in the recipient may prevent hemolytic anemia related to blood transfusions.

Harvey to discuss judicial response to sexual assault, Oct. 14
Posted October 9, 2003; 03:52 p.m.
New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey will discuss "Judicial Response to Sexual Assault in New Jersey" at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 14, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Harvey was appointed by Gov. James E. McGreevey as acting attorney general this past February and was confirmed by the Senate as attorney general in June. Previously, he served for a year as first assistant attorney general and director of the Division of Criminal Justice.
In July, the New Jersey Supreme Court ruled that defendants in sexual assault cases have a constitutional right to present details of the accuser's sexual past as evidence. The decision weakened the state's existing rape shield law, which had prohibited any mention of the accuser's sexual past in court.
Harvey's lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources and Education (SHARE) Office.

Really like Turner. He makes it look too easy against FCS competition. I'd like to see him tested snap after snap against top competition in a Senior Bowl setting to really see what he needs to work on. The natural ability is there in spades.
He reminds of a lot of Ryan Clady, who I had above Jake Long as the top tackle in '08.
It's hard for me to lock him in without seeing what his weakness is yet....because he doesn't have one to me on tape. Which I know is a lie... I need to see his weakness in order to grade him properly. I won't see that unless it's in an All-Star setting. Right now I think he's worth a shot in the middle rounds.

Dan Simpson: Mistakes in progress
America is making a long list of them; here are some of my least favoriteFebruary 5, 2014 12:00 AM
It could be that the cold weather has got to me, but I have the impression that the number of mistakes we as a nation are making at the moment is increasing, not diminishing.
I am capable of putting positive points on the board as well, as examples the progress in the Israeli-Palestinian, Iranian nuclear and Syrian talks, but today I will concentrate on matters that are not going well.
The first, no doubt provoked by the pathetic, anticlimactic Super Bowl, with its ad for the Maserati Ghibli, which we all are unlikely to be able to afford, is the tax-free status of the glittery National Football League, composed of very profitable teams owned by America's 1-percent elite. The NFL's not paying taxes dates from its early days, when people were not required to put their children to work in factories to buy a ticket to a game. The NFL should pay taxes.
A second is the Department of State's having determined that America can afford to see the Keystone XL pipeline stretched across its middle, from north to south, in spite of whatever environmental risks it will present to the population. President Barack Obama still has the last word on the pipeline, but it is unlikely that he will be able to resist the temptation to approve it, given that it will produce jobs — building it, and, later, cleaning up its messes — and that it will enhance America's ability to become less dependent on foreign energy sources. That latter sounds good until one notices that America is now busily exporting coal and other energy sources to China and elsewhere.
A third, related to the second, is the fact that the carelessness or criminality of a company, ironically named Freedom Industries, led to the poisoning of the water of an estimated 300,000 people for quite a long period of time — although what happened in the Charleston, W.Va., area is not directly related either to Keystone XL or to Pennsylvania's now-beloved fracking. My own view of fracking — that I don't want one day to have to shower with bottled water — was made flesh in Charleston and vicinity. First, MCHM, 4-Methylcyclohexanemethanol, and later, when Freedom Industries was forced to admit it, formaldehyde, turned out to have leaked into the water supply, none of them passing the famous "smell test."
A fourth, on the foreign affairs side, is the frantic effort by some in the Obama administration, symbiotic lobbyists, members of Congress and particularly adherents of the national security industry to persuade the rest of us that it is necessary to leave U.S. troops behind in Afghanistan after the December deadline for their withdrawal.
One argument they employ is that our drone program, deployed against Pakistan, depends on the United States maintaining bases in Afghanistan from which drones can be fired at human and other targets in Pakistan. This is, of course, sheer nonsense.
No one would argue that Pakistan isn't important, although it is very questionable whether Americans killing Pakistanis and others in Pakistan with drones is to our overall advantage, given the fury it inspires, particularly when we kill innocent family members of terrorists and other civilians. The real point is that drone attacks can be launched from ships, and Pakistan has a long coastline. So, the claimed need for drone bases in Afghanistan is simply a lie to try to support the argument for a U.S. troop presence in Afghanistan after Dec. 31, 13 years after the war began.
Fifth, we were informed breathlessly last week that new Edward J. Snowden revelations indicate that another target of National Security Agency spying was foreign companies. We knew that already from the fact that one of the victims that the Brazilians were complaining about last year was their national oil company, Petrobras, not that the NSA would ever share its harvest with American oil companies, the rivals of Petrobras.
Sixth, I am afraid that I do not share in the "well done, good and faithful servant" praise that was heaped on retiring Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke last week as he stepped down from his post in favor of Janet Yellen. He saved the banks and Wall Street, not the rest of us. "Quantitative easing," for which he is given credit, poured $85 billion per month of your and my money into the accounts of the big banks at the Fed for years. They were supposed to have passed it on to us in the form of job creation. They didn't. Job creation figures continue to mirror the Denver Broncos' pathetic performance against the Seahawks. Now the bankers and Wall Street managers are handing out huge, $20 million-plus bonuses to each other as rewards for their giant 2013 profits.
This adds insult to injury to middle-class and other Americans scraping to get by and who are about to be whacked with big tax bills to fund the nonsense in Washington and state capitals.
Seventh, there is the matter of Egypt's aspiring president and American-trained pet, Field Marshal Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has just arrested some 20 journalists of al-Jazeera, which, by the way, has an outlet on Pittsburgh cable.
Finally, there is that pesky rodent, Punxsutawny Phil, who predicted six more weeks of winter, obviously not realizing what that means for my column.

One of those phases. I think its over now though. This is mainly in regards to keep my Debian packages up to date and getting around to releasing v2.7 of Secure Locate.
I've fixed and uploaded libapache-mod-pythong and python-pgsql, and I'm just about done opennap 0.44. WIll get to that today or tonight.
Secure Locate is almost done, just have some debugging and patches to apply. Should be able to get that out by the end of the week.
A friend decided he wants to build a lan with dry copper pair and sdls modems. Each node needs to be about 6km apart max to work. We think we have enough people spread out here in Vancouver to give it a try. If we ever get around to actually doing it. Cool idea though.
Here is a link for more info on how it works: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010823.html.
Diagrams continued...
The diagram I reported on Dec 7 below that looked like a flying seal, well I got a snap shot of it. Some say it looks more like a bunny rabbit. Maybe they are right.

Out of the television and onto the stage - Jay Leno's jokes resonate even more in person. The cleft-chinned comedian comments on everything from growing older to being a cat owner and current events as part of his stand-up comedy routine.
"Hey it's a different time we're living in folks. White collar crime is up, and that's just in the church," jokes Leno.
Wearing a suit, he casually moves about the stage talking to the crowd just like he does on television. Most people are familiar with Leno's every-man style from his work as the host of the Emmy Award-winning "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno." His comedy touches on topics that audiences of all ages can relate to, and he doesn't use a lot of profanity. Seeing Leno live is an opportunity to experience everything you love about Leno for an uninterrupted 90 minutes.
Before "The Tonight Show," Leno worked as a stand-up comedian headlining in clubs across the country. He performed as an opening act for well known entertainers including Tom Jones and John Denver. Leno eventually moved to Los Angeles and started his career in television and film as a writer and actor. In 1977 Leno made his debut on "The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson." He was later recognized as a permanent guest host in 1987.
Leno started his tenure as the main host for "The Tonight Show" in 1992 and went on to host the show for 17 years. During that time the show had the highest ratings of any show in that time slot on almost every weekday. Along with hosting the show, Leno continued to tour as a stand-up comedian and still averages more than 150 shows a year.
When Leno's contract as "The Tonight Show" host came to an end, he passed the torch to fellow late night comedian Conan O' Brian. Leno's new talk show, "The Jay Leno Show," debuted in September 2009. After the show ended Leno returned to star as the host of the "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" in March 2010. In 2014 Leno retired and Jimmy Fallon replaced him as the host of the "Tonight Show."Apart from making people laugh, Leno is known as a car and motorcycle collector and enthusiast. He owns about 100 vehicles and about 90 motorcycles. People can read about his car collection and get advice from Leno about various automotive topics in "Popular Mechanics" where he writes a regular column called "Jay Leno's Garage." He also sometimes writes "Motormouth" articles for "The Sunday Times."
Cars are also a topic of discussion in his stand-up routine. He talks about things like how Smart Cars really aren't that smart with so many other bigger vehicles on the road. The majority of his topic matter is based on things that most people probably think about every day, but Leno puts his funny twist on it. Near the end of this routine Leno breaks away from his material and talks to people in the audience. He uses their answers to simple questions like, "Where are you from?" and "What do you do for a living?" to create off-the-cuff comedy, and the crowd loves it. It's clear that Leno's prowess for performing as a stand-up act is still well intact.

Socialist website - millions to lose health coverage
Original post made by jimf01, another community, on Mar 17, 2012
Web Link
We get a trillion in new deficits, a massive new bureaucracy layered atop the gargantuan bureaucracy we already have in DC, and new taxes and penalties if you do not want to play. Own a business? Better not start turning away business! Better not hire more than five employees, if you are a small business just starting up.
But if you are just the average working stiff who cannot buy a home, you can rent from the rich investors buying up real estate, at least you have the new healthcare program from Obama to ease some uncertainty. Ooops, no wait. The CBO says 20 million people could lose employer provided coverage, due to that law Web Link
Yep, that law that Obama touted all over the country, telling us we can keep our coverage Web Link
It was just those lying right wing conspiracy theorists and tea partiers telling you lying lies! No, now it's the CBO.
Yes, the right wing pundits out this week saying the cost of Obamacare had doubled were not terribly accurate. To say that this legislature was touted and sold for it's price tag of $900 billion for ten years, and that the real cost of providing benefits for ten years is more than double that amount, however, is absolutely true.
So the price is double what was advertised, and no, you cannot necessarily keep your plan. Which government agency do I call to report a BAIT and SWITCH SCAM??

In other First World nations, people don't have to worry about being bankrupted by the healthcare system.

So true, b, they just make due with sub par treatment, long lines, not enough drugs for treatment, doctor shortages, rationing of services and supplies and govt bureaucracies that essentially decide who lives and eis, based on they can justify coverage.
Other than those things, your panacea of socialized health plans is just peachy....

You're right Steve. Mention the failures and fallacy of this legislation, and the argument is for socialized medicine. I think that's a hoot.
I would hope that one left leaning commenter here would agree with the socialist news site, who essentially agree that the Tea Party was truthful with the American public in our protest, and accurate in analyzing the negative effects of the legislation on individuals and businesses, in addition to being a massive expansion of government and a fiscal burden.

The primary failure of this healthcare reform legislation was the attempts to find common ground with Republican obstructionists. We would've been far better off just doing what needed to be done, rather than watering down the real reforms, and trying to compromise with unreasonable people. These are not real Progressive reforms.
Obama's biggest problem is that he's a wimp. You can quote me on that.

Actually, b, in know it's easy for you to dismiss those who know more than your about govt mandated healthcare, so I'll forgive you for your predictable swipe at Fox news. I have a good friend who came here from Cuba several years ago that gave me a lesson in why govts are not capable of keeping the general population healthy (much less alive). You cited Aus and Canada, but many of their sickest residents come here for care, as do many dignitaries from other countries. Why is that? And what of the common folk that need specialized care? Healthcare rationing forces them to do without and die ahead of their counterparts with similar ailments in the US. Until obamacare....

If the TEA Party is going to take credit for being "right" about the cost increases to individuals and small businesses this past year, it is only fair to attribute the cost increases of the past DECADE to Bush and the failures of the private health insurance system.
For much of the 2000's, I was seeing 20-30% annual increases in my small company's health insurance premiums. It absolutely hindered our ability to grow our team and increase compensation. Without that problem, there wouldve been no need for reform in the first place.
It was that experience that drove my support for a single payer system. A decade ago, I was all for private market insurance. But it doesn't work anymore, and costs far more than what our Canadian and Australian friends pay for great care.
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Mar 18, 2012 at 6:56 pm
You're comparing our system to CUBA?! really?
Yes, I'm calling out Canada and Australia. That's based on real, deep conversations with my friends and family from those countries. That's far more real than your soundbites about Canadians coming to the US for surgery.
And if that's your best argument, you have to look at the flip side--all the US citizens who are going to India, Mexico, etc. to have life saving surgery because it is far cheaper there. Surely you've heard about that? Go Google "medical tourism." it is a massive industry now, and a uniquely American concept.
a resident of Parkside
on Mar 18, 2012 at 7:44 pm
B, your narrow concept of healthcare is focused solely on cost to the patient, not the quality of care, which is exactly the scenario that Cubas failure illustrates. Thanks for supporting my view.
Your 'family and friend' present a compelling case (not) to change the coverage for all US citizens and the illegals that will be subject to obamacare.
Medical tourism, really? This is why we should support forcing everyone to pay for socialized medicine? So, if we're already behind the curve with mostly elective surgeries in foreign countries, let the free market prevail.
To create a multi trillion dollar govt bureaucracy in our country to emulate the poor quality of care in foreign (read unregulated) countries is a big step backwards. Why would you advocate for that, unless you're a lawyer looking to make a fast buck?
a resident of Another Pleasanton neighborhood
on Mar 18, 2012 at 9:03 pm
There is nothing "poor" about the quality of healthcare in Canada and Australia. It is truly outstanding. Outstanding providers, outstanding technology, and not a single person being bankrupted. Yes, some people have to wait a little longer for less-critical surgeries. That does not kill people, despite what Sarah Palin wants you to believe. And if you want to pay a private provider for super-premium care, capitalism is alive and well in those nations--there are private add-on plans or premium private care options for those who are willing to pay more for that experience.
Clearly, you've also never had to deal directly with a private insurance company here in the US. I spent 9 months and dozens of hours fighting an insurance company over a clerical mistake. Not a dispute. A mistake. It finally got resolved when I complained to a government regulator--the CA Dept of Insurance.
Ever tried talking a private employer into changing insurance companies? Ever tried to do it as a business owner? I've tried it both ways, and it is next to impossible, for a variety of reasons. This is most certainly not a healthy, competitive free market.
Why are you so tied to this system? Other First World nations have demonstrated that outstanding single payer systems are possible. Costs are ridiculously lower than what we pay. Nobody goes bankrupt due to getting sick or due to rising premiums. Customer service is equal to or better than these awful giant insurers. Care is provided by outstanding, well-paid professionals. And no, people are not dying as the result of government death panels--that is just Sarah's fear mongering.
Who stands to gain from our current system? Just the insurance companies. Despite what you think, you're not getting more for your money.
What do I stand to gain? Well, I like keeping my own money, instead of pouring it into someone else's pocket. I like the idea of predictable costs, not the fear of massive annual premium increases, or big bills if my family members get sick. That's what insurance is supposed to protect against, but it is very broken.

Haven't the Tea Party people lost enough elections to start reeling themselves in. Really, pull the head out and start looking at reality. Get a better argument than the 2-3 droning statements that base their foundation in "hating Obama".

Like in the case of Taiwan, which went from a system like ours to a single payer system and dramatically lowered their health care costs. Countries just aren't scrambling to implement a system like what we have in the US here because it's *broken*. The numbers of uninsured *and* underinsured continue to rise.
steve wrote: "You cited Aus and Canada, but many of their sickest residents come here for care, as do many dignitaries from other countries. Why is that? And what of the common folk that need specialized care?"
Why is it that many of their sickest residents come here for care? Easy answer. The US does great at research care and is one of the reasons why the US is an outlier in health care spending (more advanced procedures naturally cost more and that's actually a good thing). Those "sickest residents" are able to come here and get advanced and highly specialized care. (Incidentally, who does steve thinks pays for that?) But what of the common folk? Here many don't even get *basic* care because they can't afford it without going bankrupt. And this is the area where the US system does very poorly. It's a form of health care rationing.
steve wrote: "So, if we're already behind the curve with mostly elective surgeries in foreign countries, let the free market prevail. "
Great idea, steve. When you're next in immediate need of medical attention, let me know how your attempt to shop around for the best value care goes. Do you ask the ambulance driver to take you for the $100,000 procedure over at ValleyCare or go for the $80,000 procedure at Tracy Community? I'm sorry, steve, but health care is not the kind of market that you wish it to be.

Facts are facts.We pay more and have worse care overall than any large industrialized nation.Switzerland which is a very independent freedom loving country instituted a plan with an indiv mandate 20 years ago and they have better healthcare at 11% of their GDP while we are at 17% of our GDP.We need to eliminate employers from having to pay for health care and make some revisions to Obamacare but keep a lot of it.Health care cannot operate as a free market system because it is different than any other service.5% of the population rings up 50% of the cost because of longterm problems and catastrophic illness.What we have always done is clearly failing and killing us financially as well.It is rather ironic that the vast majority of people on Medicare happen to like it.Who would of thought.

I'm poor myself, but I wouldn't want a different system, and specially the socialistic ObamaCare. I work part-time, and my wife pays most of the bills, but I like to think of myself as a millionaire. You know, just like teenage girls all dream of being Adele or Taylor Swift? I dream I'm a rich guy who exploits everyone around me but gets a big tombstone in the graveyard once he's passed away. The problem with US system is we have too many unionized nurses. We could do without half of them, and the other half we should only pay minimum wage. How much training does it take to dispense a pill or empty a bed pan?

I always suggest that if you don't have health insurance, just drop into any hospital ER and get treatment. If you don't have money or you're in the US illegally, don't pay. Keep it simple. My suggestion seems to be working for thousands.

JACKSON – Legislation that could be used to allow Mississippi to expand its Medicaid program as part of federal law remained alive Tuesday in the Legislature.
The legislation, which passed the Senate Public Health Committee, does not include language expanding Medicaid, but it is written in such a way that it could be amended at a later time to expand the state-federal health care program.
"I think it is good to have more options than less options," said Sen. Hob Bryan, D-Amory, who massaged the legislation through the Public Health Committee on a key deadline day.
Tuesday was the deadline for bills to pass out of committee in their chamber of origin.
What is at issue is legislation to re-authorize the state Medicaid program. If the program is not re-authorized this session, it would cease to exist when the new fiscal year begins July 1 unless Gov. Phil Bryant was able to run the program through executive order, which more than likely would result in a court skirmish.
Last week, House Democrats killed legislation in that chamber to re-authorize Medicaid because it was not written in such a way that it could be amended to include the Medicaid expansion.
The federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act gives the states the opportunity to provide Medicaid coverage to people earning up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level or about $15,000 annually.
Byrant and other Republican leaders have said Mississippi cannot afford to participate in the expansion because by 2020 state will have to pay 10 percent of the costs.
For the first two years, the federal government pays all the costs of the expansion and then it starts stepping down to 90 percent by 2020.
Many Democrats say the state cannot afford to reject the huge infusion of federal funds to provide coverage to a group of people who currently do not have insurance – primarily the working poor.
Senate Public Health Chair Dean Kirby, R-Pearl, said Tuesday he is against the expansion because he is concerned about the costs to the state. But he said he wants to keep alive language that would allow the state to expand Medicaid while officials learn more about the federal law.
Hospitals and other providers have expressed concerns about how they might be impacted if the state does not participate in the expansion.
Under the law, federal payments to hospitals for a portion of the uncompensated care they provide are supposed to be phased out under the assumption people would have coverage through the Affordable Care Act and hospitals would be treating far fewer people with no insurance.
But if Mississippi does not participate in the Medicaid expansion and the payments for uncompensated care are lost, many worry about the impact on the state's hospitals.
On Tuesday, in the Public Health Committee Sen. John Horhn, D-Jackson, tried to amend the bill to opt into the federal expansion.
Bryan was opposed, saying,"I think it is useful to have a vehicle alive (for the expansion), but I don't think it is a battle we fight at this time."
Horhn said, "This is a shot. I am going to take it."
Horhn's amendment was defeated, but no one offered an amendment to remove language that would allow Horhn or another legislator an opportunity to try to expand Medicaid at a later date.

About Eugenics & Human Biotechnology
Eugenics entails using science and/or breeding techniques to produce individuals with preferred or "better" characteristics.
In the early twentieth century, eugenic ideologies and practices drew on genetic theories of the day in efforts to control human reproduction. This provided scientific cover for policy decisions about who should and shouldn't reproducedecisions largely informed by discriminatory attitudes toward marginalized groups. In the United States, a widespread eugenics movement led to the forced sterilization of tens of thousands of people considered "unfit," to stringent immigration restrictions on undesired populations, and to public policies that encouraged "fitter families" to produce more children.
Eugenic ideas and rhetoric pioneered in the United States were taken up by the Nazis, who used them to justify their extermination of Jews, people with disabilities, and other groups. The Nazi genocides led to an almost complete rejection of eugenic ideas immediately after World War II.
In recent years, a small but disturbing number of scientists, scholars, and others have begun calling for "reconsideration." Some urge the development of inheritable genetic modification (changing the genes passed on to children) and the expanded use of selection technologies such as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. Some support these technologies as a way to "seize control of human evolution." Others see them as an efficient, rapid means to produce "enhanced" children.
There are still some traditional eugenicists who focus on purported racial and group differences in intelligence and behavior. But many transhumanists and other eugenicists seek to differentiate their high-tech visions from earlier programs. They say that they reject the racism and government coercion that characterized various twentieth century eugenicists, and argue that market dynamics and individual choice will drive twenty-first century eugenics.

Calculations predict the zeolite structure schematically shown in the figure will effectively capture methane from a low-quality natural gas mixture of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Under medium CH4 concentrations, CH4 adsorbs preferentially over CO2 because the distances (yellow arrows) between adsorption sites (blue) are optimal for favorable CH4-CH4 interactions.
Computer simulations reveal new zeolites (porous crystalline adsorbents used by oil industries) with sufficient methane (CH4) adsorption capacity and better CH4/carbon dioxide and CH4/nitrogen selectivity to be technologically promising for methane capture from dilute and medium-concentration sources.
Low cost separation of high-purity methane from low quality natural gas sources has long been sought, and could provide a new commercial source of methane to use as fuel or chemical feedstock. Capturing methane emitted from a variety of low concentration sources will help reduce its powerful greenhouse gas contribution to global climate change and improve coal mine safety by decreasing methane concentrations.
Methane, a common gas emitted from natural gas systems, landfills, coal mining, waste water treatment and hydrates in the ocean, is both a great energy source and a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential over 20 times that of carbon dioxide (CO2). Methane often coexists with CO2 and nitrogen gas (N2). Effective techniques are badly needed for the economical separation of methane from these gases to use methane as a fuel and to reduce its environmental impact. However, this has proved challenging because methane molecules are nonpolar, that is, an overall charge-neutral system with a highly symmetric structure that makes it interact weakly with most materials systems. To address this knowledge gap, a team of scientists from the Center for Gas Separations Relevant to Clean Energy Technologies EFRC at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory collaborated with scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratories to develop novel computational approaches to screen over 87,000 possible zeolites (porous crystalline adsorbents used by oil industries). This study discovered a few zeolite structures that are technologically promising – they have both sufficient methane sorption capacity and excellent selectivity for the separation of methane from mixtures with CO2 and/or N2. Realization of these new materials could enable natural gas industries to economically produce high purity methane from natural gas systems and could be used to separate methane from a variety of low concentration sources to reduce methane's environmental impact and enhance safety in closed environments in which high methane concentrations could result in explosions.

As he has done with environmental leaders, Governor Paul LePage needs a forum to hear from Maine immigrant and civil-rights leaders. This is made all the more urgent when one considers his "kiss my butt" sound-bite refusal to meet with the NAACP because they are a "special interest." These words beg the question of how different the NAACP is from business and environmental organizations. Is not a civil-rights group centered on immigration, public education, human capital, and equal employment important for all of Maine and its future?
The immigrant status of what the governor referred to as his "black son" — a 25-year-old Jamaican family friend — brings home the connection between race, immigration, and civil rights. As Sudanese political refugee, American citizen, and Portland community leader Lado Ladoko recently made clear: "If I were from Mexico, I would be an illegal immigrant. It is all about humanity."
Without input from organizations, like the NAACP, the governor moved on an executive order with inevitable unintended consequences. It creates an Arizona-like obligation for state officials to use "reasonable suspicion" as the basis for questioning the immigrant status of any Maine resident that looks "illegal." As substantive public policy, the governor's order is a symbolic gesture to put "Mainers first" by attacking what he recognizes is a minuscule state problem: undocumented immigration. Is this his way of going after what he perceives are bloated social services? State officials already automatically deny undocumented immigrants such services and Portland's own ordinance supersedes the governor's order for local officials
The governor's order and words are a go-head for anti-immigrant state legislation with the potential for violating the civil rights of all Maine citizens. This is why the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) hopes to meet with the governor. We want him to understand the centrality of immigration as an economic and civil-rights issue. We want to help heal the breach and explain how racial media spins have a metastasizing public anti-diversity effect on Maine's economic engine: Portland.
We also know that business and civic leaders do not see the governor's order and words aimed at immigration and the NAACP as positive signs that "Maine is open for business." They know the fundamental difference between a local chamber of commerce and NAACP is one rooted in immediate business or special benefits and public interests.
Civil- and immigrant-rights public organizations hope the governor opens his door to hear their concerns over how his state leadership profoundly affects the Maine public interest. When organizations like NAACP or LULAC come knocking on the Blaine House door, we hope that the lights are on and the door is open.

Thumbs Up
The offense was again crisp and effective – and the penalties were few. QB Bo Wallace hit the high-percentage passes and did not have a turnover.
The return of RB Jeff Scott showed how important he is to this team, as the Rebels were solid in the run game with their running backs, not quarterbacks.
Defensive line play was much improved from the beginning of the game. The Rebels didn't need halftime adjustments to stuff the Miners.
Thumbs Down
Ball-protection was not good. There were four fumbles on the night, three of them lost. Randall Mackey gave up the football at the Ole Miss 8, and Korvic Neat's fumble – one of two on the punt return team – came right after an impressive defensive stop had the Rebels steering momentum back in their direction.
Ole Miss gained one interception – Cody Prewitt's pick in the end zone killed a UTEP scoring drive – and finished minus-2 in turnover ratio.
Keys To Victory
Evaluating the keys to victory in Saturday's GameDay section:
1. Start fast. The Rebels were indeed able to start fast as Bo Wallace's 55-yard touchdown pass to Donte Moncrief gave Ole Miss a 7-0 lead less than 5 minutes into the game.
More importantly, the Rebels were able to start fast on defense, set a tone to stop UTEP's run game and carry it throughout the night.
2. Play with your eyes. Defensive coordinator Dave Wommack graded the Rebels much better here, and that led to success against the run as Ole Miss held UTEP to 37 rushing yards and 1.2 yards per carry.
3. Keep emotions in check. This was a concern last week, but young players were able to play within themselves more, and the return of the veteran Scott at running back helped with this as well.
For two weeks, the Rebels have been able to respond to adversity in a game and finish with a win. Against Central Arkansas, it was a 20-14 halftime deficit. Against UTEP, it was regaining momentum after the Miners began to chip away at a 21-0 Ole Miss lead.
Jeff Scott: The junior running back returned from injury to gain 113 yards on 13 carries as Ole Miss amassed 332 yards on the ground. Scott's night could have been bigger had he not been suspended for the first quarter for missing a class.
Bottom Line
This was one the Rebels had to have to keep modest victory goals on the table. Now they have played well and won in two straight games, and that will help them grow their confidence as No. 14 Texas visits this week.

In contrast to a number of time-consuming and site-specific approaches to street art, many artists have pushed the limits of spontaneous creativity, finding more immediate ways of getting up than with the use of a spray can, and the means to get up regardless of the constraints of a particular location. In the tradition of the mass‑produced print, the creation of multiples has gained popularity. Stickers, in particular, have become an obsession for many street artists as the perfect, lo‑fi, viral means of saturating a city with images and messages. The creative process takes place away from the street (in a studio or home), where the artist has the freedom to refine ideas over time. The act of placing the work of art, however, is spontaneous and adrenalin‑fuelled with an impact that is instant.
The prospect for a much wider distribution of images is central to the popularity of stickers as a street art form. Many stickers are traded among practitioners or can be purchased in bulk deals. Stickers, as opposed to other street art forms, can travel great distances with great efficiency, can be seen in more places and, most importantly, can be placed by any enthusiast wanting to participate in the creative act of modifying public space. Stickers provide street artists with a quick, easy and discreet way of getting up, free from the usual in‑situ constraints associated with one‑off, site‑specific pieces.
What I like about stickers is that they are small enough not to be noticed by the Council but they do get noticed by the right audience. I love the engagement on the street, behind the road signs, where everyone places their stickers. If people really love them, it is a little trophy that they can also take away with them.

Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare childhood disease that affects the brain and other parts of the body.
Ataxia refers to uncoordinated movements, such as walking. Telangiectasias are enlarged blood vessels (capillaries) just below the surface of the skin. Telangiectasias appear as tiny, red, spider-like veins.
Louis-Bar syndrome
Ataxia-telangiectasia is inherited, which means it is passed down through families. It is an autosomal recessive trait. This means that both parents must provide a defective gene for the child to have symptoms of the disorder.
The disease results from defects in the ataxia telangiectasia mutated (ATM) gene. Defects in this gene can lead to abnormal cell death in various places of the body, including the part of the brain that helps coordinate movement.
Boys and girls are equally affected.
The doctor will perform a physical exam. Examination may show signs of the following:
Possible tests include:
There is no specific treatment for ataxia-telangiectasia. Treatment is directed at specific symptoms.
Ataxia Telangiectasia Children's Project - www.atcp.org
National Ataxia Foundation (NAF) - www.ataxia.org
Early death is common, but life expectancy varies.
Because persons with this condition are very sensitive to radiation, they should never be given radiation therapy, and no unnecessary x-rays should be done.
Call your health care provider if your child develops symptoms of this disorder.
Couples with a family history of this condition who are considering pregnancy may consider genetic counseling.
Parents of a child with this disorder may have a slight increased risk of cancer. They should have genetic counseling and more intensive cancer screenings.

Anyone seen pats!?!?
The issue is that Florida hands meds out like they were per. I know a kid that use to take a trip down to Florida because the cost was so cheap and buy them in the 1000s.
POints per reception or no points per reception
Why are we talking about so many changes? Now were looking at points per catch? You tricked us into flex AND three WR's. The only reason I switched to flex is because I didn't want 3 WR's. Flex plus 3 WR's is completely stupid. Why not have every player on your roster count for God's sake. Now we have this bizaare flex plus 3 WR nonsense. Now we are talking about PPR.
NO to PPR.

Thoughts on the SUSE Secure Boot implementation
There's a post here describing SUSE's approach to implementing Secure Boot support. In summary, it's pretty similar to the approach we're taking in Fedora - a first stage shim loader is signed with a key in db, it loads a second stage bootloader (grub 2) that's signed with a key that's in shim, the second stage bootloader loads a signed kernel. The main difference between the approaches is the use of a separate key database in shim, whereas we are currently planning on using a built-in key and the contents of the firmware key database.
The main concern about using a separate key database is that applications are able to modify variable content at runtime. The Secure Boot databases are protected by requiring that any updates be signed, but this is less practical for scenarios where you want the user to be able to modify the database themselves while still protecting them from untrusted applications installing their own keys. SUSE have solved this problem by not setting the runtime access flag on the variable, meaning that it's inaccessible once ExitBootServices() has been called early in the init sequence. Since we only start running any untrusted code after ExitBootServices(), the variable can only be accessed by trusted code.
It's a wonderfully elegant solution. We've been planning on supporting user keys by trusting the contents of db, and the Windows 8 requirements specify that it must be possible for a physically present user to add keys to it. The problem there has been that different vendors offer different UI for this, in some cases even requiring that the keys be in different formats. Using an entirely separate database and offering support for enrolment in the early boot phase means that the UI and formats can be kept consistent, which makes it much easier for users to manage their own keys.
I suspect that we'll adopt this approach in Fedora as well - it doesn't allow anything that our solution wouldn't have, but it does make some of them easier. Full marks to SUSE on this.

The lungs, which reside in the thorax, or chest cavity, act as a site for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange for the blood.
Lung transplants may be recommended for patients with severe lung disease such as:
While the patient is deep asleep and pain-free (general anesthesia), an incision is made through the breast bone (sternum). One or two donor lungs are transplanted, depending on the diease process being treated.
Tubes are used to re-route the blood to a heart-lung bypass machine to keep the blood oxygenated and circulating during the surgery.
The patient's lungs are removed and the donor lungs are stitched into place. Drainage tubes (chest tubes) are inserted to drain air, fluid, and blood out of the chest for several days to allow the lungs to fully re-expand.
Patients will require immunosupressive mediccations for the rest of their lives to prevent immune rejection of the transplanted lung. Lung transplantation results vary depending on the disease being treated and the experience of the center performing the surgery.

By Parrish Alford/NEMS Daily Journal
OXFORD – Back-to-back Cotton Bowls really weren't that long ago for Ole Miss, but with the desolation that followed it's sometimes easy to forget.
Ferbia Allen hasn't.
"Hey, three out of five years? I'll take that every day, and then ending with a bowl game in my senior year … I'm looking forward to it."
There's a particular spring in the step of seniors who were a part of the Cotton Bowl teams only to see just one SEC win and a 14-game conference losing streak the next two seasons, a streak that reached 16 games before the Rebels defeated Auburn 41-20 on Oct. 13.
Still, had Ole Miss not defeated Mississippi State to gain bowl eligibility, Allen's career would have been finished. He sustained a torn medial collateral knee ligament against Vanderbilt and missed the final two regular-season games.
Like Allen, defensive end Jason Jones is a fifth-year senior.
They spent their redshirt seasons watching Houston Nutt's first Ole Miss team overcome a shaky start to win its last five and reach the Cotton Bowl. That 2008 season also included a 31-30 win at then-No. 4 Florida, the eventual national champion.
The next year Allen started five games. Jones had hopes of a larger role too but tore the major knee ligament, the ACL, in the season opener at Memphis.
When the Rebels' BBVA Compass Bowl preparations move to Birmingham next week, a lot of Ole Miss players will be experiencing a bowl game for the first time.
"You miss out on a lot of things, especially after going to two bowl games when you first start. Then you have two years off. That's a long break, and you're really not used to that. I appreciate every practice that we're out here every day," said Jones, who posted 6.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks this season in the most extensive playing time of his career.
Pulling together
Jones says the seniors' support for new coach Hugh Freeze was important in helping the younger players' down the right path.
However, the Rebels would not had finished 6-6 in the regular season without the help of key freshmen, he says.
He singled out safety Trae Elston, linebacker Denzel Nkemdiche and defensive tackle Issac Gross.
"I appreciate the younger guys who have given us some kick in the back end. They had to grow up very fast. Some of those guys had to start from Day1 and play big roles, some of the playing in front of seniors and guys who were experienced," Jones said. "I just highlight those guys, and I appreciate them a lot."
Whether the Compass Bowl or the Cotton Bowl doesn't really matter, Allen said.
"To get to any bowl game you have to work hard for it."
Noted for his blocking, Allen goes into his final college game with seven catches for 123 yards on the season.
The chance to play one more game was a dangling carrot that help move him through the rehab process.
"It was devastating. You see your brothers out there working hard. You feel like you could be out there helping, doing something. It's a terrible feeling when you have to look at it from the sidelines," he said.
But his final view from the sideline was memorable.
"Come Mississippi State, I had guys coming up saying, 'We're going to win this for you, Ferb.' That's exactly what they did, going out and playing 60 minutes."

Flying visit to Minneapolis
Trip Start Aug 16, 2004
133Trip End Aug 13, 2005
Wednesday we went to Mall of America. We caught a bus from just outside the hostel. We tried to buy a day pass but the bus driver gave it to us for free. Don't know why but not complaining. Once we were in downtown Minneapolis, we caught the tram to MoA, which took about 35mins.
The Mall was built when the Minnesota baseball and football teams moved from Met Stadium to the Metrodome in downtown Minneapolis. This left a huge amount of land available to build the Mall. It is one of the largest malls in the country.
We spent the whole day at the Mall. There is plenty to do apart from shopping. They have a theme park in the middle of the mall, very similar to the one in Metroland in Gateshead, as well as cinemas, bars and nightclubs.
In the evening after we had been back to the hostel to change we went to Hard Rock cafe to eat. They had a promotional offer on their cocktails so we had one of those in souvenir guitar shakers. We also went to Gameworks and played 2 games of glow in the dark bowling. I finally managed to beat Graham in the 2nd game, 139 to 118!
The next day we went to the Walker Sculpture Garden on the outskirts of downtown Minneapolis. Most of the sculptures we found pointless but there were a couple that we liked (and took photos of). The flower garden was also very nice to walk through with the scents of the flowers lingering in the air. We saw two chipmunks, and a little rabbit that was coincidently sitting right by the rabbit sculpture!
We then walked through Loring Park to the city centre, and walked down Nicollet Mall before catching the bus to St Paul. Once in St Paul we walked round the centre and saw the St Paul Cathedral. We went to Rice Park/Landmark Plaza and saw the Peanuts gang sculptures - a memorial to Charles Schultz.
We headed back to Minneapolis and since we weren't allowed back to our hostel until 4pm, we deiced to go and eat something at The Olive Garden, an Italian restaurant. It was delicious and cheap as well. Afterwards we went for another browse round MoA, and after a coffee and a cake we headed back to the hostel to pack.

Where I stayed
We arrived in Dresden two days ago. We are staying at a Hostel called Kangaroo-stop and as you can guess it is decked out in an Aussie theme. We looked them up on the net before we left Berlin and as they were reasonably priced and close to the train station so we were brave, didn`t make a booking so we could save on the credit card fees and when we rocked up they had beds free which was great! The only thing is the communal bathroom has no curtains for the showers! Did a little bit of sight seeing yesterday and got wet walking to the Cathedral for mass. I couldn't understand a word the priest was saying but it was a beautiful old Cathedral
A lot of Dresden was destroyed in the war but they could rebuild a lot of buildings out of the original material. Today was our last full day in Dresden, tomorrow we are leaving Germany and heading to Prague in the Czech Republic. Today we walked more of the city and went "shopping" in one their shopping centres which was very modern, just like the ones at home. I put shopping in inverted commas because w didn't really do much shopping, well Trent bought a video camera so hopefully when we are a bit more organise we can put some pics and video on the blog for you guys to see.
Its funny how you (well I did anyway) think people on the other side of the world especially in smaller towns than the big cities are going to be so much different. Yes they speak German which I don't understand but as I said above the shopping centre was just the same as the ones at home, people wearing the same types of clothes, with the same hair cuts, so its a big world but we're all just the same... really.
Love and miss you all.

The Scene: Ben Watts x 3x1's Skateboard Collaboration and Wren's Fall 2012 Preview & Film
Charlotte Casiraghi's mother, Princess Caroline, has had a long relationship with Chanel's Karl Lagerfeld, and an astute fashion watcher knows why: He consistently outfits Monaco's first family in some of Paris's most fabulous fashions. Charlotte has followed the family tradition, showing up at her principality's annual Rose Ball in this tiered, ruffled and breathtaking dress from the house's most recent couture collection. I loved that Charlotte, who often favors more conventional styles, chose this soft color and unusual shape.
In a city like New York, it comes in handy to have friends who are fashion designers. When Chloë Sevigny served as honorary chair at this year's Jeffrey Fashion Cares event on the Intrepid aircraft carrier, she got her hands on one of Proenza Schouler's recently debuted ensembles. That show was one of my favorites from New York, but what I love about Chloë is that she managed to make the look entirely her own with her messy bob and disheveled demeanor. She's a true fashion icon.
