It's lovely. That was the feeling that we passed when we met in Los Angeles. The idea was that we spoke with him [on] the first part of Dawn, the last title of the book Twilight in theaters and [which will be] two movies. However, we are not satisfied with strictly professional, classified information also managed to start on their careers [...]
This is what he said:
What scene did you more nervous during the filming of Breaking Dawn?
I'm a little ashamed to say, but what was more nervous I was taking my shirt. In the books there are many parties involved in the body of Edward, and I had managed to avoid having to take my clothes off for almost the entire series, because I would say in the book that happens every three pages (laughs). However, there came a time when there was no point to take the shirt on if he was at sea.
The Brazilians were very warm ...
They are very passionate. There were about 400 people outside our hotel in Rio who kept shouting, Rob! Kristen!. So all the time, until 3:00 am, stopped for 4 hours because it was obvious they needed some sleep, and thereafter began again. When they were silent, looked out the window and were all standing, only in silence, which lasted very little. It was amazing.
Tell us something more [about] Kristen ...
The only thing [she] like[s] to watch on TV is the cooking channel, especially when [on] the set. It usually always have it on while in the makeup trailer. It is [her] only diva behavior (laughs): to always put the cooking channel all the time and everywhere.
What role do you think Twilight has played in our society? How important do you have?
I think anything that helps young people to read is important. Was the same thing happened with Harry Potter . It's amazing, this series completely changed everything. I do not remember the guys talk about the books before, and the genre of literature for young adults was much lower before Harry Potter and Twilight.
Would you be a fan of the series if you were not there?
I do not know. It's funny because I'm a little anti-sagas, I like to support small projects. Although perhaps a bit unfortunate to say, I think these tapes if I would like because they have something different and strange. Although I am not sure I understand why everyone goes crazy for them.
So, you like to see on the internet say about you?
Sometimes, but I do it for practical purposes. Suddenly, I think I've said some stupid things and I'm curious to know who is commenting on it, to see if I have to give another interview to clarify. From what it is to control the damage that has been done.
Tell us about "Bear", your dog.
I found [him] in Baton Rouge, 2 days before we left, since then [he] accompanies me everywhere. [He has] been in more places than the average person. He has lived in Los Angeles, Vancouver, Toronto, New York and Arizona.
A very human gesture for a vampire, don't you think?
I wanted to have a friend who could not speak (laughs).
Love Story of Kristen and Robert
When Kristen and Robert met on the set of recording, immediately arose a couple so extraordinary, that passed the screen, but at that time, she maintained a relationship with actor Michael Angarano, so despite the magic that felt there was nothing of romance. Although she had a boyfriend, Pattinson admitted that he felt empathy with his co-star.
Kristen Stewart is basically why I did the movie. When I read Twilight, had chapters in which Edward is described as almost a divine figure, and I believed there was no way I could interpret it.

Third and least visible is a looming personnel crisis. For the past dozen years, no expense has been spared in providing for the U.S. military. Expectations are high for continuing compensation and recognition for service. But as mundane, boring peacetime duties take precedence over preparing for and engaging in combat, many will choose to leave the service. This raises profound questions over the future of the all-volunteer force.
In 1970 at age 49, Admiral Elmo "Bud" Zumwalt became the youngest Chief of Naval Operations in history. At the time, Zumwalt saw the Navy in desperate straits. The Soviet Union was modernizing at a rapid rate. Many of the Navy's 900-plus ships were relics of World War II. The Vietnam War was creating personnel crises that Zumwalt feared would become mutinous if not corrected immediately. And the Nixon administration was cutting back on defense spending.
Zumwalt initiated Project 60, perhaps the most effective strategic-planning exercise the Pentagon had seen since World War II. In it, The CNO redefined the Navy's four missions as deterrence, power projection, sea control, and presence. He cut the service almost in half to recapitalize and modernize the Fleet with both high-value units and new technologies, and he instituted dramatic changes in personnel policy.
Today, the Navy and Marine Corps need a Project 60 for the current realities. Given the administration's strategic review completed last year, with its pivot to Asia and the impending Quadrennial Defense Review ( QDR ), the chances of starting, let alone completing, another study are slim. Yet the bureaucratic ponderousness of the QDR , combined with an already falling Damoclean fiscal sword, will almost certainly lead to massive cuts. Nonetheless, we need to develop an alternate and bold plan along the lines of Zumwalt's Project 60.
The challenge is great and the opportunities greater, but one conclusion is strikingly obvious. With a more complicated, complex, and interconnected world; budgets that will only shrink; and fewer armies, navies, and air forces to fight, we must use brainpower rather than firepower to ensure our security. Here, the Naval Academy motto, "Ex Scientia Tridens," could not apply more: Sea power through knowledge. A Project 60–like exercise is the best means to accomplish that objective.

The rumor that Apple is currently working on a cheaper low end iPhone for emerging markets is rife at the moment and former Apple CEO John Scully thinks it is a necessity for Apple to do just that. Sculley, who was Apple CEO between 1983 and 1993, believes that Apple must venture into the emerging markets with a low end iPhone if it is to continue its growth. Sculley was speaking in a television interview with Bloomberg from Japan last night.
"Apple needs to adapt to a very different world," Sculley said. "As we go from $500 smartphones to even as low, for some companies, as $100 for a smartphone, you've got to dramatically rethink the supply chain and how you can make these products and do it profitably."
"Samsung is an extraordinarily good competitor," Sculley said. "The differentiation between a Samsung Galaxy and an iPhone 5 is not as great as we used to see."
For those keeping track at home, a Scully comments are like Steve Wozniak comments, and should never be confused for anything other than one guys long-out-of-the-loop opinion. However, like Wozniak comments, mainstream media keeps eliciting them, and they can create interesting ripples in the discussion.
Sculley, for what it's worth, also believes that Apple has exactly the right leader in place now that Tim Cook is in charge. Cook's expertise controlling the supply chain will be critical in Apple's future success. Sculley will mainly be remembered as being the man who decided along with his board of directors that Steve Jobs was surplus to requirements. He subsequently steered Apple down the path of competing with IBM in a highly competitive market place and as profits eroded and sales diminished, he was forced out of Apple in 1993.
Taking that into account maybe it is no surprise that he still believes that Apple needs to compete in that market again today.

Have you seen my Dada boss?
Terry Eagleton
- Typecasting: On the Arts and Sciences of Human Inequality by Ewen and Ewen
Seven Stories, 555 pp, $34.95, September 2006, ISBN 1 58322 735 0
If the authors of this book sound like a firm of estate agents, it's because they have virtuously repressed their first names as a protest against gender stereotyping. But one wonders if they have failed to carry this resistance far enough. There are, after all, several million Ewens knocking around the globe, and this particular pair might fear that their unique personalities are threatened by a blandly generic term. Perhaps the best strategy would be to vary one's surname from day to day to avoid the indignity of being labelled.
Stereotypes, however, are not always pejorative, whatever these authors may think. They write in their preface of the ways that 'deeply ingrained stereotypes shed negative light on a wide range of populations and communities'; but the assumption that all such typecasting is negative is itself a postmodern stereotype. The Welsh do not take kindly to being regarded as a race of cunning runts permanently coated in coal dust and sheep shit, but they tend to protest rather less hotly when one praises their musical abilities. The Scots prefer to be thought hard-headed rather than tight-fisted. Lancastrians like to hear that they are warmer than people from Dorking, but not that they are generally fatter as well. Stereotypes may be objectionable because they cram complex individuals into general categories, but they can do this in admiring as well as demeaning ways. Though this does not necessarily constitute a defence of them, one would expect a couple of authors who set out to write a 500-page book on the subject to notice the fact.
Some stereotypes are simply neutral, another fact which Typecasting fails to note. Swedes, for example, are very often tall, fair and blue-eyed. This is neither a criticism nor a commendation, simply a fact. There are no doubt postmodern theorists who would argue that the blue-eyedness of Swedes is a cultural construct rather than a biological phenomenon, but it is best to give such people a wide berth, rather as it is with those who ask you whether you have been washed in the blood of the Lamb. Many stereotypes, to be sure, are vicious and repellent, but it is scarcely very original to say so. The discourse of stereotyping has long been exhausted. Nothing is now more predictable in cultural theory than an aversion to the predictable.
It would make for a bolder, more innovative study than this one to put in a good word for stereotypes, even though academics at certain American universities might find themselves under fire for doing so. Those of us who are not American academics, however, may feel less constrained. It is an open secret, for example, that Ulster Protestants are not by and large dandyish aesthetes notable for their extravagant wordplay and surreal sense of humour. The English middle classes are for the most part less physically and emotionally expressive than Neapolitan dockers. It is unusual to meet a working-class Liverpudlian who dresses for dinner, other than in the sense of putting on a shirt. Corporation executives tend not to be Dadaists.
Stereotypes are sometimes thought to be offensive because they are fixed and inflexible, but the fixed is not necessarily to be regretted, or the fluid to be celebrated. Capitalism is endlessly fluid, whereas the demand that the Israelis stop mistreating the Palestinians should be unwavering. The belief that the malleable is always preferable to the immovable is a postmodern cliché. There is a good deal about human history which ought not to alter (educating our children, for example), and quite a lot of change which is deeply undesirable. Change and permanence are not related to each other as radicalism is to conservatism. In any case, all genuine radicalism respects tradition. It respects among other things the tradition of resistance to racial stereotypes, rather than the tradition of promoting them. One of the interesting features of this study is just how robust a history of opposition to such belittling images there has been down the centuries. It didn't all begin with modern-day liberal pluralism.

Difference between revisions of "Tonbridge"
Revision as of 15:42, 9 August 2004
Tonbridge is a town in West Kent, in the South of England.
Situated on the banks of the river Medway, Tonbridge has been a market town since the Earl of Gloucester was granted the right to hold a weekly market in 1259. A castle was built there in the 11th century by Richard Fitzgilbert, a nobleman in William the Conqueror's invading army, and rebuilt in the 13th century.
The town and its surrounding areas became famous for the production of finely inlaid wooden cabinets, boxes and other objects, which were called "Tunbridgeware".
Tonbridge was spelt "Tunbridge" until 1870, but the spelling of the name was changed in an effort to avoid confusion with nearby Tunbridge Wells, a larger town about five miles to the south.
Get in
By car
The main roads into Tonbridge are the A21, which runs from the M25 down to Hastings, and the A26, which goes south to Brighton and north to Maidstone.
By train
Tonbridge station is the main train station in West Kent, and is situated very near the centre of town. It has links to Tunbridge Wells, Hastings, Redhill (and then down to Gatwick Airport.) and Maidstone (via Paddock Wood). London is between 30 and 45 minutes away, depending on whether the train is direct or a stopper service. Tickets cost about £10.
Fare and timetable information is available from South East Trains, tel. 08457 484950.
Get around
The centre of Tonbridge is fairly small, and can easily be travelled on foot. As with most other towns in England, the town is well serviced by buses and taxis.
By bus
Arriva is the bus company that operates in Tonbridge. Timetables and fares are available on their website. Buy your ticket from the driver when you board the bus.
By taxi
The main taxi rank is at the train station, although you can order a taxi by telephone to pick you up from anywhere.

MHA Applauds President Obama for Making Mental Health A Priority
Contact: Steve Vetzner, (703) 797-2588 or email@example.com
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (January 16, 2013)—Statement of Wayne W. Lindstrom, Ph.D., president and CEO of Mental Health America:
"We applaud President Obama for making mental health a priority, including expanding mental health services and placing an emphasis on prevention, early identification and treatment of mental health conditions, in the plan he issued today. He has embraced many of the steps and initiatives that Mental Health America had recommended to Vice President Biden's Task Force and in meetings with administration officials.
"His attention and commitment to these issues and the actions he announced today represent the beginning of a sea change in the way we look at mental health in this country. His call for a national dialogue on mental health is critical to changing the conversation surrounding mental health, improving understanding and eliminating stigma. We welcome the opportunity to have an active role in the dialogue.
"His announcement committing to a final rule for the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act, assuring the mental health community that the final rule on the essential health benefits will ensure small group and individual plans in the Exchanges include mental health benefits at parity, and requiring that current state Medicaid programs and the Medicaid expansion cover all required mental health services and comply with parity are all vital to expanding access to services.
"Equally important, the President has recognized the importance of prevention, early identification and treatment of mental health conditions and expanding services to young people. As his plan recognizes, three quarters of mental illnesses appear by the age of 24, yet less than half of children with diagnosable mental health problems receive treatment.
"Mental Health America will also work with House and Senate members to reintroduce the Mental Health in Schools Act (HR 750 in 112th Congress), which would provide funding for public schools across the country to partner with local mental health professionals to establish on-site mental health care services for students. Research has demonstrated that prevention and early intervention strategies strengthen children's and families' mental health and resiliency, prevent or lessen the burden of illness, and help with the recovery from trauma.
"The President today helped promote greater understanding of mental health when he said, 'someone with a mental illness is far more likely to be a victim of violent crime than the perpetrator.'
"We believe that as the President and Congress move forward with the proposals announced today, individuals with mental health conditions—57 million Americans—must not be stigmatized or deterred from seeking help and care."
Mental Health America (www.mentalhealthamerica.net), founded in 1909, is the nation's leading community-based network dedicated to helping all Americans achieve wellness by living mentally healthier lives. With our 240 affiliates across the country, we touch the lives of millions—Advocating for changes in mental health and wellness policy; Educating the public & providing critical information; and delivering urgently needed mental health and wellness Programs and Services.

A MAN who died after being struck by a train in Hampshire had been in grief after the death of his mother, an inquest heard.
Robert Stidworthy was killed instantly when he was struck by a train at Sway in the New Forest – 24 hours after police launched a widespread missing person's appeal.
The Southampton inquest into his death heard the 47-year-old, of Mallard Close, Hordle, was receiving medical treatment for alcohol dependency, but had started drinking again and taking cannabis after his mother's recent death.
His brother Tom Gleeson, from London, told the inquest Mr Stidworthy had become very depressed since her death and was struggling to cope. He regularly visited his unemployed brother at home and had arranged a mental health assessment scheduled for later that month.
Mr Gleeson said: "I had been telling people that this was a possibility throughout the year."
Mr Stidworthy was struck by the 6.20pm train from Sway to New Milton on October 26.
Sergeant Derek Bish, among British Transport Police officers called out, said the train was travelling at 60mph when it hit him close to Vaggs Lane bridge.
The inquest heard there was no time for the driver to sound the horn and he was unable to avoid collision.
Mr Stidworthy was pronounced dead at the scene and formally identified by Mr Gleeson later. A pathologist's report by Dr Jeffrey Theaker revealed he died from multiple injuries.
Southampton coroner Keith Wiseman recorded a suicide determination and said: "He had been very badly troubled for quite a long time."

Rascal Flatts Follow the Call of the 'Banjo' in New Music Video
Rascal Flatts just released the music video for their single 'Banjo,' which hails from their upcoming record 'Changed,' available everywhere April 3. In the clip, the guys seem to be having a good time, each playing a different part. Gary LeVox steps into the shoes of a bus driver, taking the wheel of a downtown Nashville tourist bus that has 'Music Line Tours' emblazoned on the side.
Joe Don Rooney plays the part of a lawyer, stepping up in a courtroom and announcing, "I am here today to defend the honor of the banjo." Jay DeMarcus is an astute looking college professor, lecturing his students at the beginning of the video on theories of sound and the motivation behind music. And it all leads back to the banjo.
The banjo music is personified by a beautiful girl playing a banjo in a white linen dress in the middle of nowhere, nestled in a cabin out on a bunch of land. Like a man following a siren's call, everyone in the video drops what they're doing and follows the sound of the banjo, either hopping onto LeVox's tour bus or dancing out of Rooney's court room or leaving DeMarcus' classroom with him.
The video is made even more playful by the shots of LeVox off-roading in the small bus. In footage, which looks like what you'd see on a commercial for a manly pickup truck, the lead singer bounces all around in his mini-bus singing into the intercom: "And you kick it into four wheel drive when you run out of road / And you go, and you go and you go-go-go / 'Til you hear a banjo."

About Bobbi Woods
Bobbi's art practise is packed with pop culture
"As Picabia once remarked, 'I am a beautiful monster.'"
Conceptual artist Bobbi Woods graduated with a BA and MFA from the Art Centre College of Design in Pasadena, California, in 2004 and 2008. Her work is intimately tied to ideas surrounding pop culture. One of Woods' project in 2009, for example, revolves around spray-painting a series of movie posters. By altering the original works, Woods hopes to highlight the subtexts of sexuality that pervade modern society. Woods' work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently at Pepin Moore, Loudhailer Gallery, Night Gallery and Fourteen30 Contemporary. Her submission for Absolut Art is entitled "Pearl Necklace", and marries satire into the language of luxury.

More on Henry Green, British Resident of the Orange River Sovereignty.
Ione Evans of New Zealand told me about a book Some dreams come true, which had a picture of Henry Green, and now that we have replaced our stolen car I was able to find a copy in the University library, and I've been reading that and The microcosm by Thelma Gutsche, a history of Colesberg.
Between them they give a fairly full picture of the life of Henry Green, though there are still a couple of gaps.
One is what happened between the end of the Orange River Sovereignty in 1854 and his coming to Colesberg as Magistrate in 1860? We know he married his cousin Margaret Aitchison in 1856, and they had two sons, and that his wife and sons died shortly before he arrived in Colesberg. But where was he?
After thinking about it, I thought I'd check for the marriage in England -- could have have gone to England to marry his cousin? It seems unlikely that she would be at the Cape.
So I checked FreeBMD and found a possible, nay, probable, marriage:
If anyone wants the reference to apply for the certificate, I'll be glad to give it. Otherwise, I'll apply.
So watch this space.
Henry's father, William John Green, had recently retred and was living in Kensington around that time, which makes the Chelsea registration district given in Free BMD seem likely. So it seems he spent at least some of the missing years in the UK.

Norka Days at Stony Plain, Alberta
& Memories
Electronic mail message from Donna Stainthorp Baxmeyer, Ponoka, Alberta
My husband and I live about 90 minutes north of Calgary in a small rural town. Ponoka is about 30 miles north of Red Deer and about 60 miles south of Edmonton, the provincial capitol. I was born in Edmonton, and raised in a small town west from there, called Stony Plain. This is where my grandparents emigrated and there are hundreds of Germans descendants from Russia in this area. They have a yearly celebration in Stony Plain called "Norka Days" and some of the history they have available is fascinating. My mother, Lydia Stainthorp, is the last surviving member of our side of the Sauer clan.
One memory I have from my grandfather is that at one time he was the driver of a troika for an "Archbishop" and told me of a miracle that occurred during one of their outings. I don't know if this is true, but it sure brings a warm feeling to picture my grandfather and the helm! My grandparents were from the Christian Reformed denomination, and after settling in Stony Plain, he was one of the construction volunteers in building the original church which is still there. The family members that have passed on are buried on site in the family plot. I am so excited about this aspect, and thank you again for your information.

Having recently celebrated another birthday in dreaded 4-0 range, this Mom is keep a close eye out for natural solutions for some of the unwelcomed changes I am experiencing.
Subtle changes in the condition and texture of my skin, a steady decrease in my previously 20-20 vision among them. More recently, I have discovered, although accustomed to an "on the go" lifestyle, my body simply does not want to keep up with my schedule.
More so, than ever before, I find I am becoming more thoughtful and concerned about my personal health, with great motivation to keep every system running smoothly for a long time into the future. Although diet and exercise has served me well up until now, this Mom is finding the time is right to begin exploring natural supplements to help me keep up with my busy lifestyle and to minimize the effects of additional year.
While solutions of all manner abound, touting the ability to retain a Mom's youthfulness, many of them are simply un-natural, invasive and costly. My schedule requires easy to use solutions that can be conveniently added to my daily routines. Natural ingredients are of predominant consideration.
Finding a full line of natural solutions from NeoCell, I was immediately drawn to the blueberry based Hyaluronic Acid product.
|NeoCell Hyaluronic Acid Blueberry Liquid®
This solution, formulated to work quickly as well as effectively, is packed full of natural ingredients I know and trust, such as concentrates of blueberry, elderberry, agave, pomegranate, cranberry, as well as green tea and ionic minerals. The blending of the power of Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring protein, with these beneficial antioxidant sources creates a source perfect for women, offering a plethora of benefits:
- moisturizes and nourishes skin and tissues
- anti-inflammatory benefits
- lowering LDL cholesterol
- increased metabolism
- benefits high fluid body components, such as skin, eyes, ears, heart and joints
- wrinkle prevention and reduction
I received product from NeoCell to explore for the purposes of creating this feature. The opinions above are both honest and of my own experiences. Images and some information sourced from various NeoCell sites. Sponsor is responsible for supplying and shipping prize.

In the trailer from Vanishing of the Bees, one of the experts says that the Chinese character for "crisis" includes the characters for both "danger" and "opportunity." What a precise metaphor for our economic climate today.
In the global groundswell to change the way food is produced and distributed, entrepreneurs are opening to the opportunity. I hear spirited stories from New York often and will bring you local updates soon. In the meantime, enjoy these kindred businesses from distant lands.
This comes from Groundswell West, a.k.a. my sister Lindsay and her friend Elizabeth Moore in Portland, Oregon: SoupCycle. Started by two "soup lovers and avid bicycle advocates," the company delivers freshly-prepared soup by bike to your home or office in the Portland area. The standard order starts at $18 for a quart of soup, a salad, and rustic bread with the delivery fee included. A meal this size is estimated to feed 1-2 people. In New York, our density makes bicycle delivery standard (albeit ruthless to pedestrians), but imagine the carbon benefit of this model in our wide and vastly-paved cities. They could create a franchise for every few neighborhoods. Customers could also bike over to the franchise to pick up their soups, rather than get in a car nightly for fast food via a drive thru. [Note: The drive thru example falls under my category of "Confessions of a Midwestern Childhood."]
The mention of this next business is dedicated to the first environmentalist I ever knew: Joan Landewe. I went to high school with her kids and was in their kitchen one day when she returned fired up from the grocery store. The store had not let her use her own bags to carry out her groceries. They claimed that all bags leaving the store needed to be printed with the store name. In those days, reusing a bag was simply not done.
Many years later, there's a store in London called Unpackaged. It is BYOE – Bring Your Own Everything, except the food you purchase. They have that part. They sell it in bulk and customers bring their own containers to take it home. If you think you have a particularly heavy container, they will weigh it first and then deduct the weight from the final price. Otherwise, they will offer their discount for any container that customers bring–including for the person who brings plastic bottles for lentils. And yes, they let you bring your own bags, too.
Have you experienced a new food business in your corner of the world? If so, I'd love to hear about it. Opportunity — here we come!

Chicago Bears, guard Matt Slauson agree to 1-year contract
CHICAGO – The Chicago Bears and former New York Jets guard Matt Slauson have agreed to a 1-year contract.
The team announced the deal on Friday. Bears General Manager Phil Emery says Slauson's size and strength will make him a challenger for a starting guard position. Slauson, 6-5, 315-pounds, started 48 of 51 games with the Jets. New York drafted him out of Nebraska in 2009. Last season he didn't allow any sacks.
Slauson was listed on New York's injury report with a knee injury last season.

Fatty corn dogs and sugary coffee cake may become extinct in thousands of school cafeterias nationwide under a landmark new alliance among Los Angeles Unified and five other major urban school districts to leverage their vast purchasing power for healthier fare and lower prices.
School districts in L.A., New York, Chicago, Dallas, Miami and Orlando, Fla., plan to announce Thursday efforts to use their collective clout — 2.5 million daily meals served and $530 million annually spent — to make wholesome food a national standard. The districts are also aiming for more eco-friendly practices — replacing polystyrene and plasticwith biodegradable trays and flatware, for instance.
As such diet-related maladies as diabetes and obesity increase among children, the quest to reduce fat, sugar and sodium in school meals has gained new urgency among districts. L.A. Unified has overhauled its menu with whole grains and fresh produce; New York offers a salad bar at every school; and Chicago has swapped cupcakes for fruit at school celebrations.
Now, by joining forces, the alliance members hope to move the market and eventually enlist other school districts in the crusade. Already, San Diego, Oakland and Houston have expressed interest.

Obama Says Cutting Egypt Aid May Not Reverse Actions
AUBURN, N.Y. (AP) — President Barack Obama says cutting off aid to Egypt "may not reverse what the interim government does."
But he says the U.S. must be "very careful" about being seen as aiding and abetting actions that run contrary to the country's values.
Obama administration officials are weighing whether to cut off more than $1 billion in annual aid to Egypt after the military-backed interim government cracked down on supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi.
The president defended his decision to hold off in cutting aid, saying there was a period of time after Morsi was ousted where the U.S. needed to use diplomacy to encourage military to seek reconciliation. He says that was the right approach, even though the military "did not take that opportunity."
Obama spoke on CNN's "New Day."

There is a myth about health care in this country that if you have health insurance, you're safe. Another is that we have the best health care. Elizabeth Warren debunks both of these myths with facts. We're going broke paying for health care, but many countries have better outcomes. Half of the families who filed for bankruptcy did so after serious health problems, and 75 percent of them had health insurance at the beginning of their illness. This woman is an incredible advocate for people, and hopefully, the next senator from Massachusetts.
More facts. In 2011, the Affordable Care Act provided new benefits to Americans. At least 2.5 million more young people have health insurance because of the provision allowing them to be covered on their parent's policy until the age of 26. And if they have a serious condition, when they are 26, they can not be denied coverage because of that pre existing condition.
Now, insurance companies can't raise rates more than 10 percent without explaining and justifying the increase in writing. Also, the 80/20 rule makes sure that 80 percent of health premiums are actually spent on health care. If not, you, the consumer, get a rebate.
Access to free preventive health care and screenings has increased.
Medicare is stronger — seniors and disabled patients no longer have to worry about the donut hole, and many have saved on prescription drugs.
Patient safety is improved with the launch of Partnership for Patients. This will help to prevent medical errors, and has the potential to save $50 billion for Medicare.
The Henry Kaiser Family Foundation (health reform.kkk.org) outlines new benefits for future years. All ones that help our citizens with the huge problem of health care.
Someday, perhaps, we will have single-payer health care. Physicians for a National Health Program (pnhp.org) outlines the key features of such a program. (American Journal of Public Health, Vol. 93, No.1)
• Universal, comprehensive coverage assures access, prevents a two-class system, and minimizes expense.
• A single insurance plan in each region that would eliminate billions in useless paper pushing and profits.
• Free choice of providers.
• Public accountability.
• Ban on for profit health care providers.
• Protection of the rights of health care and insurance workers.
As far as finance, an article in The Guardian, Dec. 14, 2011, points out that health care CEO's have replaced bankers as Americas highest paid.
The CEO of McKesson Corp. took home more than $145 million in 2010. Never heard of this company? It is the largest pharmaceutical distributor in North America, and distributes one third of the meds used in the United States. Headquartered in San Francisco, sales topped $112 billion last year.
Omnicare, a pharmacy that distributes drugs in nursing homes, among other services, paid their outgoing CEO more than $98 million in 2010.
CVS Caremark's CEO earned more than $68 million in 2010.
Aetna's CEO earned nearly $58 million in 2010, along with about $50.4 million in stock options.
So that myth that if you have health insurance you are safe is just that, a myth. The only ones who are safe are those obscenely-paid CEO's, and they are not concerned about your health, only their pocketbooks.

Kruk and Kuip weigh in on Giants' chances, fans
No matter how the ballclub fares, Giants fans are winners every year. That's because they get to listen regularly to a peerless broadcasting team: Ford C. Frick award winner Jon Miller, Dave Flemming and, of course, Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, the inimitable, irrepressible pair of ex-Giants who recently sat down with MLB.com Giants beat reporter Chris Haft at Scottsdale Stadium for the following "conversation." With Kruk and Kuip at the microphone, there's no such thing as a dull game. Their wit, insight and sheer love for the game are evident in each broadcast, just as they are in the following chat.
What are your sources of optimism for the team's potential success in 2014?
No matter how the ballclub fares, Giants fans are winners every year. That's because they get to listen regularly to a peerless broadcasting team: Ford C. Frick award winner Jon Miller, Dave Flemming and, of course, Duane Kuiper and Mike Krukow, the inimitable, irrepressible pair of ex-Giants who recently sat down with MLB.com Giants beat reporter Chris Haft at Scottsdale Stadium for the following "conversation." With Kruk and Kuip at the microphone, there's no such thing as a dull game. Their wit, insight and sheer love for the game are evident in each broadcast, just as they are in the following chat.
What are your sources of optimism for the team's potential success in 2014?
Krukow: We first saw a different look at this team during FanFest. I think that's always a pretty good gauge. It's evident that they did their homework in the offseason. I think what really became glaringly obvious to us was that they did not like watching the playoffs on TV. Given the success they've had the last several years, you can't blame them. You win a couple of those things, those tournaments, you kind of feel like you belong there every year. This is a group that really is just coming of age. They had their success when they were young. Well, now they're right there in prime time. The expectation, I think, that surrounds this camp is what's off the charts. You have to have expectation if you're going to have a good season. And they have it. That's why I like their chances this year.
What gives them that chance?
Kuiper: Well, I think Mike touched on it earlier: Belt's a year older, Crawford's a year older, Sandoval's in better shape and a year older, Pagan will be there all year, and the health of the pitching staff. It's great when the baby of the pitching staff is also the ace and the best pitcher, in [Madison] Bumgarner. That's pretty cool.
The two major changes they've made -- adding Michael Morse and Tim Hudson -- what does that do for the club?
Krukow: Adding Tim Hudson takes a lot of pressure off the bullpen. I think even at age 38, it's realistic to think he's going to give you 180 to 200 innings, which he's more than capable of doing. The thing I like about Hudson is he gets a lot of quick outs, within three pitches. A lot of quick innings. You'll see him have a seven-inning outing and three of those innings will be single-digit pitches per inning. I've always enjoyed playing with sinkerballers and now we get a chance to watch one. And I do believe he's going to be good for a lot of other reasons on this staff as well.
Morse, if he stays healthy, is going to be a presence in the lineup that they haven't had for a while. That's a [right-handed batter] who can hit the ball out of AT&T Park to right field. He's got legitimate power. So it's just a matter of being able to get him out there and get 550 at-bats. If that happens, I think his impact in the lineup will be a tremendous positive for this team. I do think they're going to score more runs and I think he's a big reason.
As an ex-infielder, Duane, how would you have liked to play behind Hudson, getting ground balls?
Kuiper: You know with a guy like Hudson that you're going to get at least five opportunities, probably somewhere between five and eight. It keeps you loose. You stay in a good rhythm. Totally opposite of the way Tim Lincecum was when he threw hard, where you could fall asleep at your position because of all the strikeouts. Hudson would be a great guy to play behind, he really would.
When you encounter fans, what question about this year's team do they ask most often?
Kuiper: Do we spoon? They really want to know if we share a room and spoon on the road and the answer is usually yes.
Krukow: Absolutely.
Kuiper: And that's what makes them happy. They want to know that we're together 24/7. And once we assure them that's true, then they walk away very happy. Is that the answer you were looking for?
The National League West always seems like it has the potential for surprise or balance. Is this year no exception?
Krukow: Well, we haven't seen them all. So it's premature. I do like the way the Padres have improved themselves. They could go either way. They haven't had a good spring. Nobody's hitting over there. Guys just haven't jelled whatsoever. But I do think that they could have a year where they finish above .500. I don't know if there's enough pitching in Colorado. But we haven't seen it. We don't believe in things we read until we see it. There are people who are credible who we enjoy reading, of course. But until we see it, we don't really make a call on it. The first time through, the first six weeks of the season, we'll see the whole division and we'll know where we're at.
Kuiper: It's going to be a tough division. It's not like the American League West, where those teams get to play the Astros 18 or 19 times. You don't catch really a break. That's why it's going to be hard for a team to come out of the West as a Wild Card team.
You guys played for this team when things were a little lean. The club has been prosperous and successful for a while now, but once in a while, do you still catch yourself looking around at 40,000 people sitting in that beautiful ballpark by the bay, the team winning title after title and you think, "My gosh, what a difference"?
Krukow: There is not a day that goes by that we take it for granted. Not one. If you've gone through a season where you've lost 100 games, and you're the only team in a 132-year history that did that? If you're not winning at the big league level, it is a miserable existence. That year, [manager] Jim Davenport took Jack Mull, who had been in the Minor Leagues for 30 years, to the big leagues to coach first base. Great guy. I had him in the Minor Leagues with the Cubs. He was my manager at Key West. A lifer Minor League guy. He finally gets his chance [to coach in the Majors] in 1985, and we lose 100 games. I'll never forget -- we're playing Atlanta the last three games of the year, and we're in the dugout, just him and me before the game, and he looks at me and says, "Mike, if this is what the big leagues is, you can have it." And it's true. If you're not winning, it's miserable. What this team does now, what has been created in that ballpark -- you think about the Mondays we used to play after the Dodgers series. If you got a start against the Expos, you were going to be playing in front of 3,000 people. I couldn't blame them for not coming. It was miserable. Now, it's a privilege to play in that ballpark and we don't take one day for granted.
Kuiper: I was responsible for only two months of that '85 season. So I'm going to say that I was part of a team that lost 85. The problem was, it was a pretty decent team. It wasn't like we were a bunch of hacks out there. But we certainly have enjoyed watching how things have progressed, not just in San Francisco, but also here for Spring Training, where it's orange and black all over Scottsdale. They take over the town. We truly have some great fans. A lot of them came over from Candlestick. I mean, look, we're on our 15th year at AT&T Park and it really does seem like last year [that it opened]. It's terrific. It is absolutely terrific. To say that we broadcasted for two world championship teams in three years, that was pretty doggone good.

He's right on both fronts. It's always difficult to trade away from starting pitching to acquire position players, especially when starting pitching has become a strength, and is only growing stronger with time. The thought of R.A Dickey, Jon Niese, Matt Harvey, Zack Wheeler can potentially be dominating for a long time, and starting pitching is the core of winning championships.
Unfortunately for the Mets, in terms of certainty, this is about all they have aside from David Wright and maybe both Ruben Tejada and Ike Davis. In fact, they don't have any other players who can be considered everyday players right now, and it's debateable whether some of them should be on the roster at all.
This goes back to my point about trading Dickey. They have to evaluate what any deal for a starting pitcher does for the health of the organization. The Mets really aren't in a position to be choosy - they appear to have not only an area of strength but an area of excess with their starting pitching, and while it's difficult to be 100 percent comfortable with the notion of dealing from this supply, it makes a ton of baseball sense to at least explore the option so to fill one or more needs on the diamond. The options for the team (and most teams) are not that appealing on the free agent market, and are only going to get less appealing in future free agent markets. It remains to be seen whether or not such opportunities present themselves, but it's the one, and maybe only area they can barter from.

AndiG needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 82 designs submitted by 42 freelance designers.
We're looking for a fun, professional logo for an online magic shop and magic content producer.
Please read the brief for more info. We'll post comments on every logo as soon as we get chance!
Vanishing Inc
Vanishing Inc is a fresh, new company selling products to magicians.
We'll be producing our own range of books, tricks and DVDs while also
selling some of the best magic products from around the world.We're looking for a logo that helps describe our brand.
- We are a fresh, modern company. The logo should be clean and crisp.
Think Web 2.0 - simple imagery, modern fonts and inviting colours.
- Most magic websites nowadays use grungy imagery to attract a younger
crowd. We don't want this - we'd like to the logo to show that we are
experienced and trustworthy.
- Consider the title of the company. The word "vanishing" is very powerful and summons up some great imagery.
- The logo will be used on our website, marketing, books and DVDs. So it'll need to translate well to those mediums.
- The logo should be in vector format. Ideally Illustrator, but Photoshop will be accepted too (so long as it's vector). We're using CS3, so it can be any version up to that.
- While magicians will be our target audience, we want to stay away from cliche rabbits in the hat and magic wands.

LOUISVILLE — Punxsutawney Area High School graduate Devin Mesoraco received the call every Little League baseball player dreams of Wednesday afternoon: He's been called up to the Major Leagues.
According to family sources, Mesoraco was in Louisville preparing for the Cincinnati Reds' AAA-affiliate Bats' game Wednesday when he received news that he wouldn't be playing Wednesday night, and he'd be officially called up for Cincinnati's 12:30 p.m. contest against the Philadelphia Phillies today in Cincinnati.
There was some speculation that Mesoraco might play in today's game, after being given Wednesday night off, but those reports could not be confirmed.
Mesoraco was not on the team's 40-man roster throughout the season, but the Reds are expected to make a roster move to make room for him when he is called up.
Mesoraco, 23, was named Cincinnati's Minor League Player of the Year in 2010, after hitting .302 with 26 home runs between Cincinnati's AA-affiliate Carolina Mudcats and the Bats, and after hitting .289 in 120 games for Louisville this season, with 36 doubles and 15 home runs, many in Cincinnati are looking forward to seeing what their future catcher is made of.
In a report by MLB.com's Mark Sheldon, Reds' general manager Walt Jocketty, who declined to confirm Tuesday if Mesoraco would be among the Sept. 1 call-ups, said Wednesday after word leaked that Mesoraco would be called up, "Obviously, he's a guy we're going to protect. It's a chance for him to get some exposure and get used to seeing what it's like in the big leagues. We'll see what he can learn this last month of the season."
Cincinnati may have seen Mesoraco sooner had it not been for the depth its big league club had at catcher this season with veterans Ramon Hernandez and Ryan Hanigan already on the roster, but Mesoraco had a good attitude about it all along.
He said in an interview with The Spirit in July, "I couldn't be any happier with the organization and the way things are going so far. I'll get my time, and I'm just working hard to be ready for whenever my number is called."
Mr. Mesoraco, that time is now.

Judith Zaffirini - Democrat (Incumbent)
Senator Judith Zaffirini (D-Laredo) represents the 21st Senatorial District, which stretches from the Rio Grande to the Colorado River and to the Port of Corpus Christi and the Valley. Re-elected most recently in an eighth landslide victory with 68 percent, she is the first Hispanic woman elected to the Texas Senate, the second highest-ranking senator, and the highest-ranking woman and Hispanic senator.
Her appointments provide countless opportunities to champion the priorities of SD 21, the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale, which has generated billions of dollars in economic activity for our state. As Senate Chair of the Eagle Ford Legislative Caucus, Senator Zaffirini prioritizes the district's continued prosperity, and as Vice Chair of the Agriculture, Water & Rural Affairs Committee, she helps protect and conserve the district's water resources, such as the Rio Grande and the Edwards Aquifer.
Health care is a major industry in SD 21, and as a member of the Senate Health & Human Services Committee, Senator Zaffirini advocates for improved health services, especially for the very young, the very old, and persons with disabilities. As a member of the Natural Resources and Economic Development Committee and of the Energy Council since 2009, she promotes responsible, sustainable development of Texas' energy resources. Through the State Affairs Committee, she addresses issues affecting local governments, such as bond issuances and eminent domain, and issues related to guardianship, such as protecting persons under guardianship from abuse and preventing corruption in the legal system.
Her legendary work ethic is reflected in her 100 percent voting record, having cast 55,666 consecutive votes as of 2015, and her perfect attendance in the Texas Senate since 1987, except for breaking quorum deliberately to prevent an untimely re-redistricting that the U.S. Supreme Court (2006) ruled violated the Voting Rights Act and disenfranchised voters in SD 21. She has sponsored and passed 895 bills and 52 substantive resolutions. Showing her bipartisan effectiveness, in the 2015 Republican-dominated Texas Legislature she passed 102 bills, breaking her personal record and passing more bills than any other legislator.
Senator Zaffirini has received more than 880 awards and honors for her legislative, public service, and professional work, including more than 260 in communication. Her recent awards include being named to the "All Decades Teams" for the 2000s and the 1990s by Capitol Inside and a Hero of Hopeby the Laredo Morning Times ; receiving the Mary Holdsworth Butt Award from Mental Health America of Texas and the Pinnacle of Achievement Award from the Center for Health Care Services for her legendary leadership for persons with emotional, physical, intellectual, and developmental disabilities. She received the "People's Friend: Lord's Work Award" from the Texas Observer and the Presidential Citation from The University of Texas at Austin, which also named her a Distinguished Alumna in 2003. Texas Monthly has named Senator Zaffirini one of Texas' "10 Best Legislators" four times and given her the "Bull of the Brazos" award and an "Honorable Mention." She also received the Godmother of Texas Children Award from Teaching and Mentoring Communities and was named a Legislative Champion by Texas oil and gas leaders. Interestingly, she was named Sister Judith, an Honorary Nun, by the Sisters of Mercy and Mercy Ministries and Mr. South Texas by the Washington's Birthday Celebration Association.
She is the namesake of Laredo Community College's Senator Judith Zaffirini Library and Texas A&M International University's Senator Judith Zaffirini Student Success Center, as well as of the Senator Judith Zaffirini Road and Senator Judith Zaffirini Elementary School in Laredo and the AAMA Judith Zaffirini Residential Center in Edinburg. Her son, Carlos Jr., endowed scholarships in her name at The University of Texas at Austin, Baylor College of Medicine, and Texas A&M International University. The Beaumont Foundation also endowed a scholarship honoring her and her husband at A&M International, where the annual Senator Judith Zaffirini Medal is presented to faculty and students who excel in scholarship and leadership.
Dr. Zaffirini is an award-winning communication specialist with 13 years of teaching experience, including at the college and university levels. The South Texas Press Association has honored her for her distinguished career in journalism and public service. Press Women of Texas (PWT) and the National Association of Press Women have recognized her communications expertise repeatedly with awards for her publications, speeches, and public relations campaigns. In 2015 PWT named her its Communicator of Achievement.
Through her business, Zaffirini Communications, she provides professional communication services, including consulting, workshops and seminars, one-on-one coaching, keynote addresses, and writing. A distinguished communicator, educator, and leader, she holds B.S., M.A., and PhD degrees from UT-Austin, each with a 3.9 grade-point average.
A lector at Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church and member of the Texas Philosophical Society and of Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society, her professional memberships include the Texas Press Women, International Communication Association, Texas Speech Communication Association and Association for Borderlands Studies. Judith and Carlos Zaffirini have been married for 50 years. Their son, Carlos Jr., an attorney and businessman, is married to Audrey Pieper.
