Internal Medicine Pediatrics Residency - FAQs
Where do the residents live?
Our residents live in a variety of places in the Baltimore area.
About half live in the city itself. Baltimore is home to many diverse neighborhoods, each with its own identity and character. Many of these neighborhoods are popular among the city's young professionals and offer affordable housing for rent or purchase.
Those residents who choose to live outside of the city limits settle in one of the nearby suburbs like Columbia, Ellicott City or Owings Mills. Several suburbs are conveniently located halfway between Baltimore and Washington DC for those Maryland residents with significant others working in DC.
Where do our residents see clinic patients? Is there a combined Med-Peds clinic?
Our primary clinic sites are the University Health Center for internal medicine and the Pediatrics At Midtown. Both are located in close proximity to the main campus in downtown Baltimore. Residents alternate weekly between the two sites. Maintaining two separate patient panels allows our residents to care for an equal number of adult and pediatric patients. Beginning in the second year, residents are assigned to an additional community Med-Peds practitioner located outside the city. During this experience they carry a combined patient panel as well as learn some of the ins and outs of practice management. Residents attend combined clinics one afternoon per week during electives, pediatric ED rotations and outpatient rotations.
Are there med-peds specific conferences?
Yes. Starting in 2009, the med-peds program expanded its conference schedule to weekly conferences that include a Med-Peds lecture series led by leaders in such fields as infectious disease, travel medicine, cardiology, hematology and many others. In addition, the Maryland Med-Peds program has a dedicated Med-Peds Journal Club, a Med-Peds specific board review and a dedicated Med-Peds group quality improvement project.
Are there opportunities for international medicine?
Yes. Many faculty members at UMMS are involved with providing care and performing research overseas and welcome residents to join them for electives. Some recent resident experiences included clinical opportunities in Latin America, Africa, Haiti and South Asia. Funding to support international electives is available through the Medicine and Pediatrics departments. Starting in 2012, the Med-Peds Residency instituted a Med-Peds Global Health Track. This track was developed in coordination with faculty from the Center for Vaccine Development and the Institute of Human Virology.
What retreats do the med-peds residents attend?
In order to remain fully integrated into the categorical internal medicine and pediatrics programs while maintaining a unique med-peds identity, the med-peds residents attend several annual retreats. All med-peds residents attend both a medicine and a pediatrics retreat during each year of training. In addition, all med-peds residents attend a dedicated med-peds retreat annually.
Do residents rotate outside of University of Maryland Medical Center?
Yes. Residents receive broad clinical experience as they rotate through our three local hospitals. Aside from UMMS, our other clinical sites include Mercy Medical Center and the VA Baltimore Medical Center. Mercy is a private hospital academically affiliated with UMMS and located approximately one mile away in downtown Baltimore. Residents spend 5-6 months at Mercy over the course of their training, typically two months of medicine and three months of pediatrics. The Baltimore VA is the center of the Veterans Administration Health Care system in Maryland. It is connected by bridge to UMMS, and many University faculty members are involved with care and teaching on the VA side.
Are there moonlighting opportunities for residents?
Yes. Moonlighting opportunities are available within the program at both UMMS and Mercy Medical Center. There are currently no moonlighting opportunities for interns, however, and moonlighting outside the system is not permitted.
What careers do residents pursue?
Among our graduates since 1994, 50% have gone on to careers in primary care, 28% have pursued fellowships and subspecialty practice, 19% work as hospitalists and 3% have established careers in an urgent care or emergency room setting.
Is there a free-standing children's hospital?
No. The University of Maryland's Children's Hospital is not a free-standing structure, but is located within the main hospital on the fifth and sixth floors. The hospital provides tertiary care level services with a state-wide referral base. The Children's Hospital offers a wide variety of pediatric subspecialists including allergy and immunology, behavioral/developmental pediatrics, cardiology, critical care, endocrinology, gastroenterology, genetics, hematology/oncology, immunology, infectious disease, nephrology, neurology, pulmonology and rheumatology. Aside from the inpatient hospital setting, residents rotate through a number of outpatient locations including Pediatrics At Midtown (PAM), The Adolescent and Young Adult Center and numerous community outreach sites. In addition, residents staff our Pediatric Emergency Department.
How frequently do residents switch between Medicine and Pediatrics?
Residents rotate every three months. Twice during residency (at the start of 2nd and 4th years) they complete a six month block of either medicine or pediatrics rotations. This helps ease the transition from intern to senior responsibilities and ensures seasonal variation of patient pathology.
How long is internship?
Internship lasts twelve months. Residents in Med-Peds serve as senior residents from the beginning of their second year. Services without supervisory responsibilities, such as the adult Cancer Center, are scheduled early in second year to help new seniors transition to their changing roles.
Do the residents get along?
The camaraderie among the residents is palpable and is one of the major strengths of our program. There is a friendly working relationship among residents in all programs here and a distinct solidarity among those in the Med-Peds program. Friendships that are generated in the hospital are fostered at resident-run House Staff Association events as well as countless other informal gatherings outside of the hospital. Some recent examples include happy hours, basketball, soccer, football, dinners out, and bowling.
What is the med-peds identity at UMMC?
The med-peds residents have a unique identity that sets them apart from the categorical pediatric and medicine residents yet they are welcomed as equals when rotating in either discipline. The med-peds residents maintain a strong sense of identity through frequent interaction during rotations, monthly meetings, numerous social outings including a med-peds holiday party, and through close mentorship with med-peds trained physicians. The med-peds identity is growing with recent recruitment of two new med-peds faculty members in 2008 and recruitment of an additional med-peds trained hospitalist in 2011.
Are there a wide variety of cases? Do other major hospitals in the area limit exposure to interesting cases?
Although Baltimore and other nearby cities have a high density of academic medical centers, residents in our program have had no shortage of unique and interesting cases during their training. UMMS serves as a tertiary referral center with a contingent of world-class subspecialists, and we maintain a strong relationship with the surrounding community and referring hospitals.
How many Med-Peds trained faculty have faculty appointments at the University of Maryland?
We currently have close to 20 Med-Peds trained faculty with academic appointments with the University of Maryland. These physicians hold positions in a variety of specialties including Med-Peds primary care, infectious diseases, rheumatology, allergy and immunology, critical care, urgent care and hospitalist medicine. They serve as a backbone for our mentorship program and provide exceptional clinical and research experiences for our residents.
Is research required?
Yes. All Med-Peds residents complete a senior research project for both Medicine and Pediatrics. Internal Medicine projects involve a written manuscript and oral presentation to the residency program on a chosen topic. Many manuscripts have been successfully submitted for publication. Seniors on Pediatrics participate in original research, with the goal of familiarizing the resident with the process of IRB approval, data collection and analysis. Pediatric research projects have been accepted for publication and presentation at national meetings. Med-Peds residents have published in Pediatrics and presented at regional ACP meetings and national meetings like the IDSA.

A maid or a maiden usually refers to a virgin woman. Maidens may be wedded and bedded; However, many husbands will wait until the bride is fifteen or sixteen before sleeping with them. Very young mothers tend to have significantly higher rates of death in childbirth, as noted by the maesters.[1]
A guarantee of a woman's virginity is normally the presence of a maidenhead. Women are generally expected to be virgins on their wedding night, more so for noblewomen. However, noblewomen are more likely to lose their maidenheads during horseback riding, it is said, and proof of their maidenhead during the wedding night - a bloody sheet - is therefore not often insisted upon.[2] Nonetheless, men might refuse a bride if she is no longer chaste.[3]
The loss of a noblewoman's virginity can diminish her possibilities for marriage. When Ser Jason Lannister took the virginity of Lady Alys Stackspear, after which she became pregnant, his brother, Lord Tytos Lannister, insisted upon their marriage.[4] However, Lady Delena Florent, who had been deflowered by King Robert I Baratheon and given birth to his bastard son Edric Storm, was eventually offered Lord Tywin Lannister's youngest son, the dwarf Tyrion, as husband. While Lord Tywin himself made the offer, he considered it to be below the standards of his house nonetheless.[5]
Virginity can also be held in high esteem by the Dothraki. According to Magister Illyrio Mopatis, when Prince Viserys Targaryen attempted to claim his sister's maidenhead prior to her wedding to Khal Drogo, he would have undone years of planning,[6] implying that Khal Drogo would not have accepted Princess Daenerys as his bride if she had not come to him a virgin.
A price can be placed upon a girl's maidenhead. For example, Emma, a serving wench at the Quill and Tankard in Oldtown, determined that her daughter's maidenhead would cost a golden dragon.[7] Other forms of payment can also be used at times.[8]
A virgin man can also be referred to as a maiden[9] or a man-maid[10] on occasion.

What's up .net?
After a painfully long time away from near-daily contributions here, I've finally got my act together with the new digs and can get back on the site to share with y'all. Still have a pile of "honey-do's" to knock out around here, but for the most part, the shop is up and running.
I'm going to remain a private mechanic who provides personal restoration and repair services to the affluent client. Think of me as being the go-to guy to keep the doctors, lawyers, and oil guy's hot-rods up and running when they want to burn up the pavement. I've been an ASE Master mechanic for 28 years now and have "worked for the man" for far too long. Tired of being forced to sell parts and services to the public that they don't need, just to make a paycheck. Now I can simply install high-performance goodies and spruce-up show cars at my own pace. No broken serpentine belts on the minivans for me, just superchargers, shift-kits, and cold-air intakes!

John 5 Dishes on Working With Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson
John 5's new solo album 'God Told Me To' is set to be released on May 8, and he recently took some time to divulge the meaning behind the album title as well as talking about his work history with both the legendary Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson.
In a new interview, John 5 tells Noisecreep the origin of the title 'God Told Me To' ties into a lot of different things from his desire to be a successful musician to off-the-wall excuses used by serial killers in history. "The title means more than what it sounds like," admits John 5. "I wanted to do this so badly, to be a successful musician. Not even like a rock star. My dreams didn't go into that area. I want to make money playing guitar. I like prayed inside of my head as a little kid." He also notes that that's not the only thing that inspired the title, saying, "It's a lot of things. Many serial killers will say 'God told me to.' It's a spin on it."
While his current full time gig is playing with Rob Zombie, he's got quite a resume including time spent with Marilyn Manson and Rob Halford. When asked what his favorite gig is, John 5 stayed loyal to Zombie, explaining, "Zombie is my favorite and I am not saying it because I am in the band. It has been such a pleasure and honor being in a band with him. It's like having an awesome job, where I am psyched to go work every day."
Even though he doesn't play with him anymore, John 5 says he does keep in touch with Manson sporadically and he's a fan of the new music. He had nothing but kind things to say about him, "He is an amazing talent. I hope he just has continued success through his life," said John 5. "Before I was in the band, I was a fan, since he is so real. I wish him continued success through his life. People want it to be bad, but not like that at all. He is super talented and smart."

[dropcap style="font-size: 60px; color: #9b9b9b;"] H [/dropcap]ow has the digital age changed your life? Do you still shop in a store or buy online? Get the newspaper delivered or have an online subscription? Read hard copy books or use an e-reader? If you chose the digital options, you are not alone. You may be a digital native, one of those who are most comfortable working in a digital environment.
The Internet and the digital economy are fundamentally changing communications, transportation, and commerce. This "digital revolution," in combination with the great recession of 2008 to 2009 has affected postal operators all over the world causing a steep decline in the volumes of personal, business, and advertising mail. This shift from the physical will only accelerate as digital natives become more prominent in the workforce.
In a white paper released today, the Office of Inspector General analyzed the changing digital landscape as the first in a series of papers on the Postal Service role in the digital age; here is a sample of the key trends:
1.There is a progressive shift from the physical to the digital by business, government, and consumers.
2.Control has shifted from the sender to the receiver.
3.The Internet has evolved from mass broadcast media to personalized conversations.
4.Explosive growth of mobile devices increases consumption of content "on the go".
5.E-commerce is growing rapidly but has not reached its full potential.
6.Mobile commerce is positioned to grow significantly in the U.S. market.
7.Digital technologies have facilitated global commerce.
Though there has been a rapid shift of communications and commerce from the physical world to the digital, there are shortcomings and fundamental gaps that prevent all U.S. consumers from migrating into the digital world. They include:
•The Internet and all of its functionality is not available to all citizens to reap its economic benefits. There is a lengthening tail of digital refugees, which will only increase as the digital revolution progresses;
•There is a potential threat to the principle of "network neutrality," nondiscrimination in access to communications networks;
•There is still a lack of an adequate level of privacy, confidentiality, dependability, and security in digital communications and transactions as desired by citizens, with the potential of involuntary profiling of consumers;
•The digital infrastructure has limitations in connectivity and bandwidth, provided by companies that could go out of business at any time;
•There are inadequate personal information management tools to effectively deal with the increasing volume of electronic communications and applications;
•There is still insufficient availability of affordable digital currency and secure and convenient financial tools to transact online; and
•There are limits of choice, even withdrawal of the physical option as companies push consumers into digital-only communications.
Given the Postal Service's role as a trusted intermediary in the physical world, what role do you believe it should take in digital world, if any? Give your comments below.

I was curious about this, so I took a look. The stretching is related to the fact that your replacement textures are loaded into a square OpenGL texture with powers-of-two sides: the image_scale attribute doesn't play nice with the code to deal with translating between the actual texture size and your replacement image's size. The "Non-power-of-two textures" setting fixes it, but a better workaround is to make your replacements valid OpenGL sizes, like 256x256 or 512x512.
With OpenGL-friendly image sizes, then you can simply set the image_scale parameter to match the "scale factor" from the frame in ShapeFusion. (This is 5 for the magnum frames.) If you create higher-res images, then you'll need to adjust image_scale appropriately. The offsets come after scaling, so multiply the real pixel offset by the scale factor.
Here's a version of your plugin with a full example of this approach. The original magnum idle frame is offset by 50 pixels inside a 256x256 canvas.

BJ Penn: Outside the Octagon
Through mixed martial arts, BJ Penn became Hawaii's most well-known athlete, but not always for the right reasons. Now, he's evolving into one of the world's most influential martial arts teachers.
(page 1 of 4)
Running through downtown Hilo near the house he grew up in, early morning sun reflecting off his shaved head, BJ "The Prodigy" Penn moves like a panther chasing its prey.
As he gets closer, wearing board shorts and a "Team Penn" T-shirt, you notice the cauliflower ears—so misshapen from years of grappling that you wonder how the ear buds for his iPod can possibly stay in. The 31-year-old prizefighter looks like a bigger, badder version of the quasi juvenile delinquent he once was.
Penn is a two-time world champion and the biggest name in mixed martial arts (MMA)—a kicking, punching, wrestling, almost-anything-goes spectacle held in an eight-sided cage enclosed by a five-foot-high, chain-link fence. Sen. John McCain famously called it "human cockfighting." MMA has made Penn an international star and Hawaii's most famous athlete since Duke Kahanamoku. But outside the octagon, he is quietly maturing into the world's most influential martial arts role model since Bruce Lee.
MMA's popularity has exploded since 1993, when the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) held its first event. The soft-spoken Penn has won UFC world championship belts in both the lightweight and welterweight divisions, and today it's tough to drive more than a block in Hilo without seeing a BJ Penn T-shirt or bumper sticker.
Anyone can train at the Penn gym, located in a classic building where Hilo soda crackers were once made. The main floor is a typical, air-conditioned workout facility, but downstairs could be the set of a 1940s film-noir boxing movie. Penn also has his own MMA video game and clothing line. With his brothers, he's launched The 808 Scene, a new weekly variety show on KHON-TV. He's been the subject of two documentaries, countless YouTube videos, a popular iPhone app, and has just published his autobiography, Why I Fight: The Belt Is Just an Accessory. Daily visits to his website, bjpenn.com, are mandatory for any serious MMA fan or Brazilian jiujitsu (BJJ) student. Local kids, martial artists, MMA fans and Hawaiian Pride activists all claim him as their own.
"When BJ Penn talks, kids listen," says Tom Callos, a tae kwon do master who was Penn's first teacher. "Through his website he's taught more people than I'll ever teach in my lifetime. No [martial arts] teacher has reached more students, with the exception of Bruce Lee's books."
In 1995, Penn was a tough, 17-year-old local boy who lived to "just scrap." For him and the kids he grew up with, street fighting was just another contact sport, and a way to establish one's place in the adolescent-male pecking order. After graduating from Hilo High School, he spent his time hanging out at the beach, chasing girls and fighting for fun.
BJ is the third of four sons in a prominent local family. His mother, Oahu-born Lorraine Shin, is a successful businesswoman of Korean and Hawaiian ancestry who once ran for Hawaii County Council. His father, JD "Pops" Penn, moved to Hawai'i from Kansas in the mid-'70s after serving in Vietnam. The couple raised their boys in a large, plantation-era house with sweeping views of Hilo Bay. BJ now lives down the street with his girlfriend and their 2-year-old daughter.
While the Penns were upper-middle class, the rest of their Puueo neighborhood was not.
Puueo had two big apartment complexes that would rent to almost anyone. The cheap rents and lax standards attracted tenants with no visible means of support—and created the meanest streets in Hilo. Reagan, the youngest Penn brother, says, "There was always somebody on the street ready to try and take your bike when you were riding home." Hard drugs were readily available (including, allegedly, under the counter at a neighborhood superette). Some nights squatters broke into vacant rooms at the two budget hotels and had to be rousted out in the morning. Police confirm two drive-by shootings in the early '90s.
Then there were the youth brawls in the local park, especially on Sundays. This really was human cockfighting, local style, and BJ was often at the center of the action.

Columbia, SC - Another double-double by Jarnell Stokes and clutch 3-pointers by Jordan McRae and Skylar McBee lifted the Vols to their first road win of the season, 66-61, over South Carolina, at Colonial Life Arena on Sunday. The Vols moved to 12-10 overall, 4-6 in the SEC. South Carolina fell to 12-11 and 2-8 in the league.
Stokes continued to exert his power as he recorded his fifth consecutive double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds. That included five offensive rebounds, including two crucial ones in the final minutes. It was Stokes' second-career 20-point game and ninth double-double of the season.
Junior guard Trae Golden returned to the lineup after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury and tallied 16 points, his most points in nearly two months.
The Vols have now won 12 consecutive games vs. South Carolina, winning every meeting since 2007, including six in a row in Columbia.
South Carolina was led by Michael Carrera, who had a double-double with 18 points and 11 rebounds. Brian Richardson tallied 14 points.
The Vols' Josh Richardson did a great job defending USC's Bruce Ellington, limiting him to just six points.
The game tied 12 times and the lead changed hands 16 times. Neither team led by more than seven points all afternoon
McRae picked a great time for his first basket of the game after missing his first five shots. McRae knocked down a 3-pointer with 3:30 left to give the Vols a 58-57 lead, forcing Frank Martin to call a South Carolina timeout. That basket gave the Vols the lead for good.
Ellington missed a trey on the ensuring possession. Then Stokes corralled an offensive rebound off a Golden miss which was converted by Skylar McBee for another 3-pointer. That put the Vols ahead by two possessions with less than two minutes left, 61-57.
Golden added two more free throws with 46.8 left in regulation to put the Vol ahead 63-58. McRae sealed the game with two more foul shots with 24 seconds left, as the Vols equalled their largest lead of the game at seven, 65-58.
McBee's first 3-pointer of game regained the Vols lead at 54-52 with 5:35 left.But Carrera answered with a jumper to re-tie the game at 54 with 4:40 left.
The Vols used an 8-0 run to rally from a 39-36 deficit to take a 44-39 lead as Golden turned up his game. The guard reeled off six consecutive points to put the Vols back in front by two possessions with 12:48 left in the second half.
South Carolina responded with a 10-2 spurt to regain the lead at 49-46 with 10 minutes left in regulation on a layup by Brian Richardson.
Tennessee held a 32-29 lead at halftime led by Stokes' 12 points. For the first 15:45 of the game, neither team led by more than one possession in the first half as the largest margin for both teams was three.
The Vols ripped off a 6-0 run including the first four points from Golden in his return to action. Stokes' tip-in with 3:52 left pushed the lead to 28-21-- the largest of the half.
The teams were virtually even for the first 11 minutes as neither team led by more than two points. The game was tied six times and the lead changes hands five times after a Stokes layup with 9:40 left in the first half. That tied the game at 16.
The Vols return to action on Wednesday night as Tennessee plays at Vanderbilt.

Yanks, Manchester City awarded MLS expansion team
In partnership of sports' biggest names, New York City Football Club to play in 2015
The Yankees are helping to bring another professional sports franchise to New York.
Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber announced Tuesday that a global partnership between the Yankees and England-based Manchester City Football Club has acquired the MLS' 20th expansion club -- New York City Football Club -- to be based in New York and begin play in 2015.
"When the opportunity came for us to partner, we do what we do all the time -- we get sought out, but we only partner with quality people, brands that we believe can stand up with ours," Yankees president Randy Levine said. "And Man City, there's no doubt, is one of those.
"We're a great partner because we know New York City. We know how things work. We're going to help them, and we know how to build championship teams."
Manchester City will be the majority owner of the club, while the Yankees, as an investor, will be an active member of the ownership group. The two franchises will have an existing commercial relationship through Legends Hospitality, LLC. Manchester City will be in New York this weekend for a "friendly" exhibition match, to be played Saturday at Yankee Stadium against Chelsea FC.
"We are enthusiastic believers in the development of soccer in the U.S., and we know also that the MLS is a very well-managed league," Ferran Soriano, the CEO of Manchester City Football Club, said. "This opportunity in New York, we believe, is huge for us, huge for the city, and huge for U.S. soccer. We will work to deliver to the fans in New York good, beautiful football."
The team is seeking a permanent home in New York -- across the Hudson River from the New York Red Bulls, who are based in Harrison, N.J. -- and is expected to play at an interim location in 2015. Citi Field and Yankee Stadium, according to the team ownership, could be considered as temporary sites.
There has been discussion about building a new stadium at Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, located near Citi Field in Queens, and Levine insists there will be no ill will between the New York baseball franchises if that plan comes to fruition.
"We're competitors with the Mets, but we're also partners with them in Major League Baseball," Levine said. "This has nothing to do with the Yankees and the Mets. As far as I'm concerned, one of those temporary sites could just as well be Citi Field as Yankee Stadium. This is about bringing everyone together for a football club in New York City."
The Metro New York area has already played host to the 1994 World Cup, the 1999 Women's World Cup, three MLS All-Star Games and multiple international exhibition games. Mayor Michael Bloomberg is expected to host an event Wednesday that will introduce the first member of the NYCFC front office staff.
"For us to bring together an ownership group of these two winning organizations with global profile and incredible expertise -- and to do it in New York -- has been a priority for us since the league was founded in 1996," Garber said.

Housing variants
In addition to standard design SONL plummer (pillow) block housings, a number of variants are also available. Variants include housings made of different materials, different bearing seat tolerance classes and additional tapped holes for circulating oil lubrication systems.
Housing material
For applications where extra strength is needed, SONL housings are also available in spheroidal graphite cast iron.
Bearing seat tolerance
SONL housings can be supplied with different bearing seat tolerance classes, e.g. for applications prone to vibration or with rotating outer ring load.
For additional information, contact the SKF application engineering service.
Housings for circulating oil lubrication systems
In applications where CARB toroidal roller and self-aligning ball bearings are lubricated by a circulating oil lubrication system, SKF recommends using SONL .. RA housings. These housings are designed for bearings that are lubricated from the side and require a slightly higher oil level than spherical roller bearings.
In SONL .. RA housings, the holes that connect the two halves of the oil sump are positioned higher than in standard housings. This enables oil to reach the rolling elements of the bearing (fig. 1).
For additional information, refer to Using circulating oil lubrication with CARB and self aligning ball bearings.

As Gov. LePage (R-ME) announces that he'd veto a bill that pays the hospital debt via his plan and expands Medicaid (and then release the voter-approved bonds he's held up so far), another Republican governor has taken a very different path.
Iowa, the Hawkeye State, is like Maine in that it has a Republican Governor and a Democratic state legislature.
But, as an Iowa news outlet reported:
Iowa will accept federal funding to expand health care to low-income residents under a compromise reached between statehouse Democrats and Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, Senate President Pam Jochum says.
The legislation will be called the Iowa Health and Wellness Plan. Jochum said the state will accept federal funding from Medicaid expansion to cover approximately 150,000 new enrollees.
What a contrast. In Iowa, the parties worked together to get more of their low income, working citizens health care.
In Iowa, 150,000 people will gain Medicaid coverage. In Maine, 70,000 would, if only Republicans would agree.
Yet in Maine, Gov. LePage and many legislative Republicans have shown no interest in forging a compromise.
I listened to the Maine Senate debate the other day and didn't hear Republican senators voice concern for the uninsured.
We know that people without insurance often put off or don't seek medical care when they need it. Sometimes they die prematurely because of that, leaving behind children, spouses, friends, parents, siblings, and others who care about them.
But Republicans at the legislature and elsewhere called discussions of the hardships faced by uninsured individuals appeals to emotion, rather than a policy problem that could be solved.
Even more, Gov. LePage and his allies regularly call Medicaid expansion "welfare." This is both demeaning and confusing language. "Welfare" has negative connotations.
And the confusion the term spawns is evident in comments on-line, in which Medicaid expansion opponents say that they don't think people "on the dole" shouldn't get health coverage. Yet those who would be covered are working people – but their employers don't cover them and they can't afford health insurance.
Republican legislators now say they want to study Medicaid expansion, but they never spearheaded such an analysis before now. Instead, the governor veered between negatively characterizing Medicaid and claiming he would get the federal government to grant him provisions that directly conflict with the Affordable Care Act. Truth is, there has always been zero chance of Maine getting that very, very special deal.
Not only has Medicaid expansion been spoken about in derogatory ways, Maine Republicans haven't pursued health policies that would both lower costs and reduce illness and deaths.
Medicaid expansion aside, these include intensive care for people with chronic illnesses and efforts to encourage participation in the health insurance marketplace which will open enrollment on October 1.
Yet halfway across the country and in other states where Republicans exert political power, Medicaid expansion and other policies have been adopted that preserve health, prevent deaths, and help people avoid huge bills and bankruptcy.
We used to say, "As Maine goes, so goes the nation." Today Maine lags, as Iowa and other states lead.

Associated Press photojournalist Evan Vucci has been on the road with the Newt Gingrich campaign for a month, where the pace can go from completely hectic to total boredom in the space of minutes. While waiting for the doors to open at an event, or in the hours spent on buses and planes traveling to 11 states, he's documenting the edges of the campaign -- the times where the "Wizard of Oz" curtain slides back a bit and reveals the levers and mechanisms of a campaign at work.

Left: Newtmobile in action, Rome, Ga., Feb. 28. Right: They're handing out Newt socks, Nashville, Tenn, Feb. 27.
Even though -- or maybe because -- he's carrying four professional camera bodies, seven lenses and a laptop, Vucci reaches for a fifth much smaller camera to capture the "edges" -- his iPhone. He's not cracking open a laptop to process and transmit the images like he does for the wire. Instead, he's filtering, commenting and uploading them via Instagram, instantly.
Evan Vucci / AP
Left: Newt press bus, Dayton, Ohio, Feb. 7. Right: A few hours of downtime on the road. I'm surrounded by girls that went to get their nails done, in Suwannee, Ga., Feb. 26.
Admittedly, he's a little late to the iPhone bandwagon having only gotten the fourth-generation device this year. Check out our coverage of how other photographers use smart phones and apps like Hipstamatic to photograph stories, including war.
On the campaign trail this year, app-based photography particularly using Instagram is going mainstream, with feeds from news organizations to the incumbent himself.
Vucci sheds light on why he was attracted to the tool. "When the campaign comes around, everyone tries to up their game a little bit. You'll see Leicas, medium format, 4x5 cameras, Polaroids...anything to make all the stuff that looks the same be a little different. Instead of looking back at older formats, I wanted to experiment with some of the new tools people are using and basically have some fun."
Evan Vucci / AP
Left: Newt bus, Gainesville, Ga., Feb. 29. Right: Campaign stop in a box, Covington, Ga., Feb. 29.
The point-and-shoot quality of the camera and the instant upload to a network of friends is inspiring a different kind of creativity. "It's like being back in photojournalism school where I'm not really worried about the result. There's no boundary."
It also helps him connect with other photographers and journalists on the campaign trail, seeing instantly how they're documenting other candidates in different places.
Evan Vucci / AP

But mostly, it's personal. This is the kind of assignment he dreamed about when he decided to be a photojournalist -- traveling the country and taking pictures. "It's like my scrapbook for the campaign. I think these pictures will jog my memories about the campaign more than the stuff I'm uploading to the wire."
Evan Vucci / AP

The creators of Instagram were inspired by old Polaroid cameras – both their look and how they could be shared immediately. Users can follow, comment and like images. They offer 17 different filters to achieve different looks from hyper-saturated and edgy to painterly and antique. Vucci points out that this heavier filtering is not appropriate for the photojournalism he sends to the wire from his digital SLRs to feed websites, newspapers and magazines around the world. But for this personal work, the filters are fun. For the non-professional, they can gloss up an image that is technically questionable or a little mundane.

Earlier this week, there was a another example of a pro dipping into Instagram for a different look, when Nick Laham of Getty Images photographed New York Yankees players with an iPhone. See the "glamorous" location next to some urinals where he captured the images, and the result after he Instagrammed them on his blog.

It looks as if the Charlotte region will be surrounded by big weather news over the next several days, while the computer models struggle to figure out how far south the arctic air will descend next week and beyond.
In the immediate future, we're in for some very warm weather -- except for Friday.
Temperatures are soaring well into the 60s today, but they'll be limited to the upper 50s by clouds and showers Friday, as a warm front slides northward across the region. But remember -- even the upper 50s are a lot milder than the average high of 50 degrees in Charlotte at this time of the year.
The three days after that, Saturday through Monday, will be downright silly with the mild weather. High temperatures will push into the lower 70s each day, and there'll be some sunshine accompanying the warmth Saturday and Sunday.
While all this is happening to us, areas near the Charlotte region will be dealing with big weather news.
Severe thunderstorms and tornadoes are threatening parts of the deep South today, and while the severe weather probably will weaken by Friday, there will still be a chance of flooding rains to our west. The heavy rain is expected to fall in Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and maybe southern Kentucky.
A few showers are likely in our region, but what we get will pale in comparison with what falls to our west.
Meanwhile, to the northwest, bitter cold will be the story.
An outbreak of arctic air is forecast to plunge into the Rockies and upper Midwest by early in the weekend, and some of the temperature contrasts will be ridiculous. Fargo, N.D., is expected to have a high of 40 degrees today. That's downright tropical in January for North Dakota. But by Monday, the afternoon high is forecast to be 2 degrees.
Eventually, the cold air will reach the Carolinas. The best guess is that it arrives next Friday, but it's hard to tell how much cold air will actually move into the Southeast.
The computer models seem to hint at the coldest air being held north of the Carolinas. But I've seen posts on weather bulletin boards, noting that cold air -- which is heavy, dense -- sometimes spreads a lot farther south and east than the computers predict. Given that a storm system could be moving across the Southeast late next week, we'll need to watch the temperature forecast closely.
Beyond that, who knows?
Consensus earlier this week was that a prolonged period of cold weather was headed for our region. Now a lot of the computer models are hedging on that, showing only a couple of short-lived cold snaps -- and nothing more than slightly-below-average temperatures (i.e., highs in the upper 40s) for late in the month.
Meteorologists have done a good job of determining the various players in our forecast, but the science of figuring out how those players interact is the tough part.

Thank you, Mr. Lyttle. I always enjoy reading your weathery blog. And you're right on to describe our weekend weather as "downright silly." That seems like a perfect description.

So - beyond the next week - who knows? At least you're honest Steve - unlike CO's partner WCNC. Their chief weather hyper - Brad Panic has been off the rails about the big freeze for the last week.

Agreed on Brad Panic and the big freeze. There's nothing in the last 18 months - or in future models - that makes me think we'll see anything more than upper 40s for highs going into late January. As much as I like chilly winters, I think the rest of this winter will stay relatively tame.

There is a massive wall on the NC/VA border that will keep cold winter out of NC for the second year in a row. Your sleds and snow shovels will become museum pieces. Snowmen will never stand in NC yards again. Enjoy the early arrival of blooms and bugs by Groundhog Day!

Good afternoon all.
I have just joined these forums, and I thank you for your help in advance.. I was browsing through this forum and it seems to have quite the community for java users, which will be very helpful for me as I have just begun a java orientated class at University.. I am working away through my 4th lab , and have hit a road block, and unfortunately haven't been able to have any classmates help. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction how how I could solve this problem :
Add code to implement insertAtPosition with the signature
public void insertAtPosition(Object what, int insertPosition);
This method inserts the 'what' item at the indicated position. Elements following that position are moved one position in the +1 direction to make room for the new element. Items should only be inserted at already occupied positions, except that it is legal to insert an element at the position just past the filled positions (or at the zero position if there are no items). Note that for a linked list, the elements logically 'move' positions but don't physically move.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank yoU!

COMMERCE CITY, Colo. — Chris Wondolowski's record-breaking hat trick helped the San Jose Earthquakes to an easy 4-1 win over the Colorado Rapids on Saturday night while helping San Jose take a step closer to the Supporter's Shield on an unseasonably brisk evening at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Wondolowski's three goals helped him break San Jose's franchise record for all-time goals scored, and also helped the Earthquakes move six points above Sporting Kansas City for the Supporter's Shield with two games to go, although Sporting plays Columbus Sunday afternoon and have three games left on their schedule.
Marvin Chávez's goal 95 seconds into the match along with Wondolowski's simple 11th-minute finish allowed the Quakes to start fast and never look back. The win pushed San Jose to a league-high 64 points on the year, matching a club record for points in a season, and the Earthquakes also tied a club-record with their 19th win of the season. The win also officially sealed San Jose as the top seed in the Western Conference.
Meanwhile, the 9-19-4 Rapids, who were eliminated from playoff contention mid-week, struggled defensively against the Earthquakes' fire-powered trio of Wondolowski, Steven Lenhart and Alan Gordon, who started together for the first time all season.
On a brutally cold night in suburban Denver that even included some pre-game snow flurries, the Earthquakes wasted no time in warming up the scoreboard. On Sam Cronin's second minute free kick, Rapids defender Marvell Wynne and Wondolowski both went up for a header that deflected out to Chávez, who whipped in a hard strike from 18 yards out for his second goal of the season.
San Jose doubled their advantage on the counter-attack less than 10 minutes later. Rafael Baca sprinted upfield along the left wing and centered for Wondolowski, who chested home for his 23rd goal of the season and a 2-0 Earthquakes lead.
The Rapids came close to getting on the board at the half-hour mark with a Luis Zapata shot and Omar Cummings' 33rd minute blast, but both missed the target and the visitors remained firmly in control at halftime.
On the other side of the break, Wondolowski put the game to bed with a 51st-minute finish to make it 3-0. San Jose's star forward gathered the ball at the top of the box after a failed clearance from Wynne and unleashed a shot that deflected off of Rapids defender Drew Moor and into the net.
Finally, in the 84th minute, Wondolowski capped his scoring with a clean finish just inside the penalty box. The goal was Wondolowski's 25th of the season, toppng Ronald Cerritos for the franchise all-time scoring record with his 62nd goal as an Earthquake while also moving Wondolowski within two goals of Roy Lassiter's all-time MLS-best 27 goals in 1996.
Andre Akpan scored a consolation second-half injury time penalty kick for the Rapids, and on the penalty, San Jose's Jason Hernandez received a straight red card for a challenge from behind, automatically suspending him for the Quakes' next game.
The Earthquakes and Rapids will both a couple of weeks off, but San Jose return to action for an October 21 clash against the LA Galaxy (1 pm ET, Galavisión), while the Rapids will travel to The Home Depot to take on Chivas USA on October 20 (10:30 pm ET, MLS Live).
Recap: Wondo hat trick paces Quakes 4-1 vs. Colorado

From Rob Ford references to embarrassing typos: Winnipeg's mayoral race is on – Winnipeg
WINNIPEG – With a controversial bikini photo, an admiration for Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and the misspelling of a candidate's name, the Winnipeg mayoral race has already produced some head-scratching moments with more than two months to go.
There are eight people so far running to replace Sam Katz, who is not seeking re-election on Oct. 22. They include longtime politicians and political neophytes, and people in both camps have learned that running a campaign can produce a series of embarrassing incidents.
Story continues below
The biggest and most serious controversy exploded Friday, when an anonymous 桑拿会所 user circulated a four-year-old Facebook post by Lorrie Steeves, wife of former city councillor and current mayoral contender Gord Steeves. In her 2010 post, she referred to aboriginal panhandlers as "drunken native guys" who collect welfare and harass people downtown.
She issued a written apology in which she said felt terrible about having made the comments. Aboriginal leaders have said the comments reflect a not-uncommon view held by Winnipeg suburbanites.
Far less controversial gaffes and slip-ups have been made by some of the campaign teams. Political newcomer Mike Vogiatzakis, a funeral-home owner who lives just outside the city, has run into trouble on social media.
He was criticized by some people on 桑拿会所 for posting a campaign picture in which he posed with three women in bikinis.
His reply? "I'm at a water park. Did you expect the ladies to swim in jeans?" After more criticism, including one person who asked why no men or children were pictured in bathing suits, Vogiatzakis deleted the picture.
He also got some heat for a tweet that praised Ford, although not for the Toronto mayor's drug consumption or drunken stupors. "I'll be like Rob Ford in one sense, in that I'll save this city lots of money," Vogiatzakis said.
Candidate Robert Falcon Ouellette, a director of aboriginal programs at the University of Manitoba, has hit a few hurdles out of the blocks. The first news release sent from his campaign misspelled his last name repeatedly. There were a half-dozen other typographical errors as well.
He then got a bill for his campaign launch at a rental hall that was much higher than he expected, prompting him to shake up his campaign team, including changing his campaign director, Bob Axworthy.
The bill totalled $1,000, Ouellette said, which consumed almost one-fifth of all the donations he had raised as of last week.
"There have been a few incidents … which I think are almost cardinal sins in almost any campaign," Ouellette said in a frank assessment of his team's efforts to date. "Failure leads to catastrophe for any organization, any enterprise, anything in
life." Axworthy said he didn't write the news release and defended the rental hall as the best option available on short notice. Axworthy said he remains with the Ouellette campaign in a volunteer fundraising position.
Steeves' campaign also hit a few bumps in the road that now appear very minor compared to Friday's revelation.
He launched his campaign in the spring in a nearly empty room after his team did not round up supporters.
He initially announced his candidacy last fall, but faced questions over whether he had violated campaign rules by spending money prior to the city's official election period.
The reason for some of the mistakes, suggests one political observer, is that virtually anyone can run for municipal office in Winnipeg.
Unlike provincial or federal politics, there are no parties to vet and manage candidates for municipal council, said Paul Thomas, a professor emeritus at the University of Manitoba.
"It's less of a team sport at the city level, so it's more of an individualistic political enterprise. You decide, 'Well, I've got a beef about how city government is operating, so I can step into the arena and throw my hat in the ring."'
There are also few financial requirements and little in the way of paperwork that needs to be filed. Candidates simply need an official agent, a qualified auditor to oversee their finances and a nomination sheet signed by at least 250 voters.
"To have more voices is not a bad thing in a democracy. It would be nice if everybody came with a well-stocked cupboard of ideas to offer you and had spent some time preparing themselves better … but that's not going to be the case," Thomas said.
Other candidates in the race range from the very experienced to political rookies who tout their outsider status as a fresh alternative to the status quo.
Judy Wasylycia-Leis, a former member of Parliament and the Manitoba legislature, and Paula Havixbeck, a municipal councillor, have political backgrounds.
Brian Bowman, a privacy lawyer and former chairman of the Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce, and David Sanders, a former senior bureaucrat, have experience dealing with governments at all levels.
Also running is Michel Fillion, who operates a booking agency for musicians and exotic dancers.
More candidates are expected to enter the race before the Sept. 16 cutoff, which could make for unwieldy debates. Still, the prospect of a large field of potential mayors should be viewed as a good thing, Thomas said.
"Politics is a discredited activity these days and it's harder and harder to get good people to run. And so when people put themselves forward, we shouldn't put too many barriers to entry in the political field, it seems to me."

Brittany Yang (pictured) and Belen Rivera earned a spot on the Big South All-Conference doubles team.
Liberty's No. 2 doubles tandem of Belen Rivera and Brittany Yang garnered inclusion on the Big South Conference Women's Tennis All-Conference doubles team, as announced today by the league office. Additionally, Rivera and Yang, along with Cameron Richard and Valerie Thong, were tabbed Flight winners at the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, respectively, while Yang earned a spot on the All-Academic squad for the second consecutive season.
Rivera and Yang become the Lady Flames' sixth doubles pair ever, and first since 2011, to earn all-conference recognition. The duo finished the regular season with a 10-4 overall record, including a conference-best 8-1 mark in league action. Rivera and Yang posted all but one of their wins in the No. 2 spot. Thanks in part to their eight Big South victories, Yang and Rivera were also tabbed Flight winners at the No. 2 position. The tandem becomes the first-ever No. 2 pair to be declared a flight winner in Liberty history and the fifth duo overall.
Yang garners her second straight all-academic team honor, becoming the fourth Lady Flame in school history to earn inclusion on the squad more than once. The Newnan, Ga., native holds a 4.0 GPA as a graphic design major. On the court, Yang tallied a 13-5 overall singles record and a 12-7 doubles mark.
Since being paired together for the first time on March 8 against Marshall, Richard and Thong have been nearly perfect, posting a 9-1 overall record and a 6-0 mark in Big South matches. The tandem enters the Big South Championship on a nine-match winning streak. This marks the third year that Liberty has had two doubles pairs win flight awards in the same season.
Charleston Southern's Marketa Placha was voted the Big South Conference Women's Tennis Player of the Year, while Buccaneers head coach Mike Baker was tabbed the league's Coach of the Year. Coastal Carolina's Honami Yazawa was selected Freshman of the Year, while the league's sports information directors voted Coastal Carolina's Dominique de Wit as the Big South Women's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Quadruple USB Connectivity
The Hama 1:4 USB Hub expands the USB connectivity of your PC/notebook by creating four separate USB ports from just one.
Modern devices rarely provide enough USB ports to accommodate all the peripherals that are required, especially if you wish to connect them simultaneously. Printers, scanners, mice, keyboards, memory, smartphones - there are a huge number of devices that often demand a USB connection to provide power for operation and charge. However, a large number of notebooks often only feature 2 integrated ports. If you want to connect anything more than your standard mouse and keyboard then a USB hub is required.
Easy Access Connections
The simplistic design of the Hama 1:4 Hub is intended to look aesthetically pleasing as part of any home or office, with conveniently positioned topside sockets that allow the hub to sit neatly on any desktop or flat surface and permit quick and easy connection or removal of USB peripherals as and when required.
Extensive Compatibility
Tested for compatibility with all USB 2.0 devices, and downward compatible with USB 1.1, the Hama 1:4 Hub can accommodate most modern USB peripheral devices and accessories. The hub itself is bus powered, with power supplied by the PC/notebook, and is compatible with Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8 and Mac OS 10.x onwards to permit use across a range of networks.

Funeral held for 6 slain family members in Texas
SPRING, Texas (AP) — Six white caskets containing the bodies of a suburban Houston couple and four of their five children were wheeled into a church Wednesday for funeral services not far from where the family was gunned down at their home a week ago.
Stephen Stay, 39, his wife Katie, 34, and their four youngest children were being buried in a private ceremony after services at their Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"It's a difficult reason that's brought us together today," said Bishop Scott McBride, who presided over the 90-minute funeral service. "It wouldn't be right if I tell you I don't ache in my heart and we don't feel pain and feel the loss."
The couple's 15-year-old daughter, Cassidy, who survived a gunshot wound by playing dead, sat in the front row with grandparents and other relatives, just a few feet from the caskets topped with sprays of flowers. Poster-size photos of her smiling parents and siblings looked back at her and more than 1,000 people attending the service.
Katie Stay's father, Roger Lyon, said in an invocation that the service was a celebration of Stephen and Katie's family and he prayed that "some good come out of this seemingly senseless tragedy."
"We are thankful for all the things they did for us," he said.
In a description of his loved ones' lives, Randy Cousins, an uncle, said the extended family was grateful for support from "friends, family and people we have never met."
"If there's one thing we've learned as a family, it is that the world is a good place," Cousins said. "If you watch the news all the time, you might not remember that."
"Families are forever," Jeff Stay, one of Stephen's brothers, said, his voice halting. "We know we will meet them again."
Cassidy Stay called police and identified her aunt's ex-husband, Ronald Lee Haskell, 33, as the gunman. Haskell had been divorced from Katie Stay's sister and records show he had a history of domestic violence. The family was shot when they refused to divulge his ex-wife's whereabouts, authorities said.
Haskell was arrested a few hours later after a police standoff and now faces multiple charges of capital murder.
"I don't know you ever prepare yourself for something like this because you don't expect this," Don Guthrie, 57, a family friend and fellow church member, said before the funeral. "This is a shock. This is incomprehensible."
Friends were wrestling with the loss of what one called an "anchor family," whose home was the place where neighborhood kids gravitated.
"They were the people, despite the chaos of life, who were always looking for happiness and looking to do something better," said Tom Mixon, 47, a father of three and scoutmaster to one of the Stay boys. "Katie Stay was adamant about teaching her kids to do better every day and to treat people better every day. And because of that we all wanted to be better and wanted to be around them.
"It's hard to wrap my head around it, when somebody that's so ensconced in your life like that is suddenly gone."
Investigators said Haskell tied up the family and put them face-down on the floor before shooting each in the back of the head. Besides Stephen and Katie Stay, also killed were Bryan, 13, Emily, 9, Rebecca, 6, and Zach, 4.
"It doesn't seem right that we have to bury our children first, our grandchildren," said Bradley Foster, one of the Mormon church's senior leaders who came from Utah to participate in the service.
Haskell's lawyers have said they will focus on his mental condition and whether he was legally responsible for the carnage. Prosecutors haven't yet decided whether to seek the death penalty against him.
Friends have said Katie Stay went to Utah last year to help her sister, Melanie, escape her relationship with Haskell. That couple was married in 2002 in California, separated last year and divorced in February.
Stephen Stay was the real estate broker for Moriah Davis, 32, who met the Stay family through their church and had almost daily contact with Katie Stay.
"You cry and talk about how wonderful they were and you move on a little bit at a time," the mother of three boys said.
Davis said her 5-year-old has been talking about 4-year-old Zach Stay and asked her: "Mom, do you think that Zach will like heaven?"
Mixon and Guthrie said their faith had prepared them to forgive Haskell.
"I'm not happy about it, but I'm not going to hold a grudge," said Guthrie.

(CNN) – He flirted with a presidential run that never materialized in 2012, but Donald Trump is again making forays - serious or otherwise - into White House politics.
The real estate mogul and reality television host trekked to Iowa this weekend, along with other potential 2016 candidates Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, to speak at the evangelical Family Leader Conference.
And he told ABC News that he was willing to spend big on a presidential campaign - that is, if he decides to run for real this time.
"If I did it, I'd spend whatever it took," Trump told ABC's "This Week."
Claiming a fortune of more than $10 billion, the magnate said voters would see a candidate who has "built a great company with a tremendous net worth."
Many voters, however, still see Trump as the loudest backer of the "birther" movement, which questions President Barack Obama's birthplace and thus his eligibility to serve as commander in chief.
Trump's unfulfilled run for the 2012 Republican nomination included his demand that Obama make public his full birth certificate from Hawaii.
The president previously had provided a shorter version that serves as the public record in Hawaii, but amid the media glare on the issue raised in part by Trump's repeated questioning, the president released it in April 2011.
Noting he's still not convinced the long form certificate is legitimate, Trump said in the interview Sunday that the "birther" issue wouldn't disqualify him as a candidate, despite widespread condemnation of the issue from most Republicans.
"How does that make me not serious? I mean, I think that resonated with a lot of people," he said.
During his address at the Family Leader event Saturday, Trump predicted a tough presidential contest in 2016, no matter the GOP candidate.
"Somebody is going to have to emerge who is really smart and really tough," he said. "Because Obama should have been beaten. Hillary is going to be tougher to beat. And the Republicans have to do what's right. If they don't pick the right person, and I mean, it has to be the perfect person, they are going to get dropped in the 2016 election."
trump is willing to throw money at a presidential run? fine. Now if only he could show that he isn't a blowhard that is only interested in lowering taxes for the rich and can show that he has experience in government. being a business person doesn't mean a thing when it comes to political crisis in other countries.
Who is going to give his vote to this bloviating ignoramus? Donald Trump's net worth might be high but his IQ is very low.
Nah,not my cup of tea....
Donald....Donald...go sit down. Your megalomania is acting up again, keeping you from hearing the truth. We don't want you anywhere around our government. It is filled with money-hungry power mongers as it is. We don't need you...we don't want you...you will never win. Shhhhh...that's a good boy...go back to paying monopoly...good boy.
Whenever the Donald opens his mouth he makes a contribution to global warming. Fortunately, he doesn't have near enough money to buys the number of votes he'd need to sit in the White House.
the Donald? for president? Please! and what does 'he should have been beaten' even mean when it didn't actually happen? that he could have, but didn't? i'm no politcal strategist, but i went to bed election night pretty damn sure Romney was not getting elected. i'm still surprised by republican strategists' surprise.
Donald Trump made himself a clown , a laughing stock and huge spoiler in 2012 Republicans presidential elections ! He is preparing to bring his show to a TV anchor , ready to give him a phone call . The GOP elders should negotiate his price and derive Trump out of conservatives political space , before he damages their chances beyond control .
Donald Trump has Bankruptcy down to an art form. As one Journalist researched The Donald comes out to say he will run for President each time he has a book to sell and has done this since 1984. The Donald is no businessman but is smart as he sold his name by the image he presents. Now he almost had Russia hold until they saw his actual net worth. Donald will play the birther card for attention and will do some fundraising.
I heard that there's still room for a one-way ticket to Mars.
Think of all that Real Estate, with the solar-system's largest Volcano, etc.
Donald Trump, leader of the first Mars Colony...with assorted spas, etc.
Why waste his money on a no-go, when there's....Mars?
Why is he back in the news. The clown should have had a mask of Trump . He is th biggest clown I know.
If he were elected president he would probably make frequent public appearances. Seeing him would cause a serious nationwide depression that would in turn affect the rest of the world. Not a good idea.
Wearing a pair of gigantic, bright red clown shoes would add some much-needed gravitas to a Trump campaign.
That's the problem with people like Trump & Romney. They think that everything is for sale and can be bought with enough money. While that may be true of Congressmen's votes, becoming President would require him to convince over 50% of American voters that he isn't a nut job, and I don't think he can raise enough money to do that.
Is it just me that wishes this Birther would just go away and stay away !!!

Google "Meng Kee Char Siew" and you will find tons of rave reviews written about this famous restaurant by food bloggers. Therefore, it was no surprise that my colleague decided to bring me there one fine day to eat their famous Char Siew (BBQ roast pork) many months ago. Unfortunately, I did not bring my camera at that time but I can still vividly remember how awesome their Char Siew was.
Fast forward to three days ago when I took the advantage of the public holiday (Wesak Day) and drove there for breakfast. I was initially disappointed when their BBQ pork and roast chicken won't be ready until 9 a.m. However, Meng Kee has started selling Wanton Mee from 7 a..m. till 9 a.m. to cater for early birds like yours truly.
Their Wanton Mee (RM 4.60 for large) was served with their famous Char Siew. A definite plus point for me as Meng Kee's Wanton Mee wouldn't be the same without including their well known BBQ pork.
Make no mistake… this is the best Char Siew I have tasted to far, period. The taste is just superb.
The Wanton Mee also came with fried Wanton which was crispy.
Too bad their soup based Wanton couldn't compliment the otherwise perfect meal. I find their Wanton a bit small. The fillings didn't taste that great either. The reason? They use pork fillings instead of prawn (but then again they are famous for pork so it is understandable).
The noodle has a springy texture and very tasty. I find myself slurping in those strands of noodles in no time at all!
Looks like this restaurant has earned another accolade for their Char Siew Wanton Mee!
