Health insurance is something that most people probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about.
With consumers looking to make choices about 2013 health care plans, the task can be daunting.
One woman talked about her frustrations in trying to navigate the health insurance world.
It angers me. It frustrates me more than anything. I just don't think it's fair," said Kathy Kreider of Columbia.
Kreider was angry at the bill for her husband's recent outpatient foot surgery. The $11,000 charge included more than $9,000 in fees for the operating and recovery rooms.
"I don't see how they can do that. It's outpatient, it's not inpatient hospital procedure," Kreider said.
The Kreider's insurer, Highmark, paid a discounted rate of $8,409 and the Kreiders were responsible for $945.
Kreider said in the future, she will check charges ahead of time, especially since their health insurance is changing for next year.
"It's going to be five or six months into the year before our insurance is going to pick up anything," Kreider said.
Experts in the insurance field have seen rising costs for policy holders.

Special Exhibition Tours We Offer
The Armory Show at 100 (October 11, 2013 - February 23, 2014)
Be transported back to 1913, the year that the most important art exhibition ever held in the U.S. was on display in New York City. Modern European art was brought to America, delivering a cultural shock and causing rampant controversy throughout New York and the nation. Here the New-York Historical Society is recreating this bombshell exhibition by offering visitors a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see the iconic works of artists such as Cezanne, Matisse, Picasso and Van Gogh, the way they were displayed 100 years ago. Celebrate the Armory Show at 100 with us!Swingtime: Reginald Marsh and 1930s New York (June 21, 2013 - September 1, 2013)
With his calligraphic brushstrokes and densely cluttered, multi-figured compositions, Reginald Marsh recorded the vibrancy and energetic pulse of New York City. In paintings, prints, watercolors and photographs, he captured the animation and visual turbulence that made urban New York life an exhilarating spectacle. His work depicted the visual energy the city, its helter-skelter signs, newspaper and magazine headlines and the crowded conditions of its street life and recreational pastimes.Civil War in 50 Objects (mid-June through early-September)
From 1861 to 1865, the United States fought a civil war from which it would emerge radically transformed. To mark the sesquicentennial of this pivotal event, the New-York Historical Society will be showing fifty treasures from it's collection that help tell the stories of the men and women who lived through this struggle.Rarely seen objects will be on display including a pike that John Brown's raiders carried at Harper's Ferry, the impeccably preserved uniform of a Union soldier and a series of rotating documents, including Ulysses S. Grant's handwritten terms of surrender at Appomattox and the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Other items will tell the stories of everyday Americans: a wooden draft wheel containing the names of prospective draftees, a soldier's footlocker still packed with its belongings and a soldier's diary with the pencil still attached.
Renowned Civil War and Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer, has hand selected these artifacts to create a dramatically original account of the war. With the aid of these objects, this tour will capture the experience of the war from all perspectives - Union and Confederate, military and civilian, black and white, male and female.

SUMMARY: The U.S. spent more than one-third of its entire economic output on World War II, and no conflict afterward really compares. However, we're now spending more on defense, in inflation-adjusted dollars, than we did in the most expensive year of the Cold War. Sessions is right that our current defense spending is about 4 percent of the gross domestic product, but the post-World-War-II average is about 6 percent, not 8 percent as Sessions implies.
ANALYSIS: "There are three ways to look at total defense spending," said Todd Harrison, who studies defense budgets for a living. "The picture you get depends on which method you choose, and most people pick the method that supports their views."
Harrison is a senior analyst for the Center for Strategic and Budget Assessments, a Washington nonprofit think tank that is financially supported by Defense Department grants, foundation grants and contributions from defense contractors.
The most obvious way to measure defense spending, Harrison said, is by looking at plain dollar amounts –- adjusted for inflation, of course.
On that account, Harrison said, defense spending is as high as it has ever been since World War II –- and potentially much higher.
Harrison's organization has produced inflation-adjusted numbers on defense spending going all the way back to 1946. In real dollar terms, he said, the Pentagon budget was never higher than in 1985, when the Reagan administration sought and got $531 billion for the DOD.
In the budget deal reached in April, Congress gave the Pentagon $530 billion – just $1 billion short of the late Cold War high.
But there's more. The $530 billion figure is just the "base" defense budget. In other words, it covers the cost of maintaining the military: paying salaries, fueling jets, fixing tanks and researching new weapons. Since their beginning years, America's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have been budgeted separately in a "war funding" budget.
Critics of both wars have had a field day with what they call "off the books" accounting of war costs. Stephen Miller, a Senate staffer for the office which supplied Sessions with his numbers, said it makes sense to count the two items separately, because the defense budget represents things that can be planned in advance, while the war budget is often shaped by world events.
"War funding is projected to go down over the next 10 years, but it's affected by events that are beyond our control," said Miller, who works for the Senate Budget Committee, where Sessions is the ranking member.
Hamilton, the analyst, said past wars were funded by a "budget supplement" in their initial years, then folded into the broader defense budget in later years. That never happened for Iraq and Afghanistan, which together are expected to cost about $160 billion in fiscal 2011, pushing the total defense cost up to $690 billion, well above the Cold War high. (Some analysts include the cost of defense-related nuclear energy programs, pushing the total slightly higher.)
To put those numbers in local perspective, Anniston Army Depot, the area's largest employer, had a budget of $1.26 billion in 2008, its peak year to date. The Pentagon spent $15.6 billion destroying Anniston's chemical weapons stockpile, a process that began with construction more than a decade ago and ended last month.
Still, Harrison said, that's just one way of looking at defense spending. Another is to do what Sessions did, counting the defense budget as a percentage of the gross national product. Defense analysts sometimes use that number when looking at other countries, because a high percentage might mean a country is preparing for conflict. Closer to home, budget analysts use it as a measure of sustainability. When the defense budget is a small slice of the nation's overall wealth, America is more likely to be able to afford the cost in the lost run.
America's spending –- including the war budget –- was 4.2 percent of GDP in 2011, Harrison said. Sessions got that right.
He's also right that this is nowhere in the ballpark of the country's historic high. In 1943, 1944 and 1945, defense spending made up 37 percent of GDP. No war effort since then has come close to consuming as large a share of the nation's wealth.
And the current number is down significantly from Cold War highs. Cold War spending as a percent of GDP peaked in 1953, when America spent 15 percent of its economic output on the Korean War and the global stalemate with the Soviet Union. At the height of Vietnam, the nation spent about 10 percent of its GDP on the military. At the peak of the Reagan-era buildup, only about 6 percent of GDP went into defense.
But those peaks are offset by troughs, first in the 1970s and then more deeply in the 1990s, when the Cold War drawdown brought spending down to only 3 percent of GDP. (Fort MClellan, once Anniston's economic lifeblood, was shut down in 1999, the same time spending first hit the 3 percent mark.)
All told, Harrison said, defense spending consumed 6.3 percent of GDP in the average year since World War II. (Fiscal 1946 began in July 1945, a month before the bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. If you count 1946 as a post-war year, the average bumps up to 6.4 percent.)
So current spending isn't "half of the post-WWII average" as Sessions contends, but spending as a percentage of GDP is lower than at most points during the Cold War.
How did the percentage get so low when spending grew in real-dollar terms? Harrison said that over the decades, America's economic growth outstripped the growth in the defense budget.
Miller, the Senate aide, said percentage of GDP is the best figure to use, because of trends such as economic growth and inflation. Harrison agrees that the current numbers indicate that our current level of spending is "more sustainable" than during the Cold War.
The third way to judge defense spending, Harrison said, is as a percentage of the federal budget. In many ways, that gets more directly to Sessions' point. At the Values Voter summit, Sessions made his point about the defense budget as a rebuttal to critics who say defense is an obvious area for budget cuts as the nation tries to get spending under control.
Defense makes up about 19 percent of the current budget, and, according to Harrison, that's just below Cold War levels, when it averaged 21 percent of the total budget. According to Congressional Budget Office figures, Medicaid and Social Security each take up about the same slice of the budget pie. Sessions claims those slices are growing.
"The truth is that defense makes up less than 20 percent of our total budget," Sessions said at the Value Voters summit. "In 2030, while our defenses will still be under 5 percent of GDP, according to estimates, the entitlement spendings would be 15 percent of our entire economy."
Realistically, Sessions can't predict stability in the defense budget unless he has a foreign policy crystal ball. But his numbers on "entitlement" spending are sound. According to CBO projections, Medicare combined with Social Security and a few related programs will cost 15 percent of GDP by 2030. The CBO cites the rising cost of health care and the aging population as reasons for the growth.
Incidentally, Harrison says similar factors are increasing the defense budget as well. In a June report on defense spending, he wrote that health care costs for military personnel and dependents are rising higher than inflation, and the number of retirees using the TRICARE military health care system is growing.
The United States accounts for 43 percent of the world's total military spending, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, a Swedish nonprofit that monitors global military expenditures.
Our nearest competitor, in pure dollar terms, is China. While China and Russia are both said to downplay their military budget numbers, SIPRI estimates Chinese military spending at about one-sixth the spending in the United States. Globally, countries spend an average of about 2.6 percent of GDP on military forces, and China is close to that average. Russia and the United States both exceed the average, at around 4 percent. The highest percent-of-GDP spending is in the Middle East, where many countries spend more than one tenth of their economic output on military forces.

Smores Mini Cupcakes.
I love s'mores - especially on a summer night at a beach bonfire surrounded by old friends. Theres just something about the delectable combination of melted chocolate and marshmallow with a graham cracker. When the opportunity arose to bake something for a holiday party, I immediately thought of s'mores mini cupcakes:
Adapted from Martha Stewart.
Makes 3 1/2 dozen mini cupcakes
For the Chocolate - Graham Cracker Cupcake:
1 cup + 1/8 cup sugar
1 cup all purpose flour
3/8 cup cocoa powder
3/4 tsp. baking powder
3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
10 squares graham crackers, crumbed
1/4 cup butter, melted
1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Line mini cupcake pan with mini cupcake liners and set aside.
2. Sift 1 cup sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer. Fitted with the paddle attachement, mix together.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla. Add to flour mixture on low speed and mix just until combined, about 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides and continue to mix for another 2 minutes. Add boiling water and whisk by hand to avoid any splashing.
4. In a separate bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and remaining 1/8 sugar. Using a tsp., spoon one tsp. into each cupcake liner and push down lightly with the back of the teaspoon.
5. Bake graham cracker lined cupcakes in oven for about 5 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and add chocolate cupcake batter 3/4 full in each cupcake. Sprinkle cupcakes with remaining graham cracker crumbs. Bake for 15 minutes, until a toothpick tester comes out clean.
For the Marshmallow Frosting:
2 egg whites, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1. Place egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar in the heatproof mixing bowl of an electric stand mixer. Hold over a saucepan with simmering water and whisk by hand for about 3 minutes until sugar melts and is no longer grainy between the fingertips.
2. With electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachement, whisk starting at low speed and gradually increase to high. Whisk until stiff peaks form. This will take about 7 minutes. Add vanilla extract and mix just until combined. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star or french tip.
Using a piping bag, ice the marshmallow onto cooled cupcakes. Using a blow torch, torch the top to mimik lightly melted marshmallow. Add a mini marshmallow to garnish and serve!
Don't be fooled by the seemingly long list of ingredients. This is actually an easy recipe and if you have a large measuring cup, you can mix the wet ingredients all in that measuring cup so this whole recipe is actually like a one bowl cupcake. This is sure to impress.

(AP) PASADENA, Calif. - NASA's Curiosity rover drills again.
The space agency said Monday that Curiosity has bored a hole in a second rock and will transfer a pinch of powder to its onboard laboratories later this week for analysis.
Sunday's drill was the first major activity by Curiosity since it emerged from a monthlong hiatus. The latest drill site was located about nine feet away from the first rock that Curiosity drilled into three months earlier. A preliminary analysis of the first rock revealed evidence of an ancient environment suitable for primitive life.
Scientists wanted to study a second rock to confirm the finding.
The team hopes to wrap up soon at the current location and start the long drive to Curiosity's ultimate destination _ a mountain rising from the crater floor.

Wafika aims to become a no obligation asset to every business, big and small, Applying only WhiteHat techniques, providing month-to-month service and reporting without any long-term agreements. Their Chief executive officer was cited declaring that, "We're nothing like other big Search engine optimization firms that cost thousands of dollars each month and utilize software/black hat techniques, each of our Search engine optimization campaigns have genuine individuals working on all of them each and every. We believe in the value of outcomes, and the final results we've made available speak for themselves."
Web optimization is the process of affecting the rankings of a website or a web page in a search engine's search results. Generally, the earlier (or much higher positioned on the search engine results page), and much more often a site appears in the search engine results listing, the more website visitors it'll get from the search engine's users.
As an Online marketing technique, Search engine optimization looks at exactly how search engines operate, what people search for, the actual search phrases or key phrases entered into search engines and which search engines like Google are preferred by their targeted audience. Enhancing a website may possibly require modifying its content, HTML and associated programming to both improve its importance to a particular keywords and also to eliminate barriers to the indexing activities of search engines. Marketing a site to increase the amount of back-links, or inbound links, is another Search engine optimization strategy.

Cambridge Viscosity is the known global leader in small sample viscosity analysis. With its patented sensor technology and over 25 years of experience, Cambridge Viscosity has become the gold standard in the industry.
Cambridge Viscosity (CVI) is a known global leader in small sample viscosity. Reliable and easy to use viscometers with a wide variety of applications are needed both in laboratories and within the process. CVI viscometers provide:
Its innovation, which includes a patented sensor technology, sets it apart from the rest of the industry. This patented, proprietary electromagnetic-based sensor technology utilizes only one moving part, a piston, driven electromagnetically through fluid in a small measurement chamber. A deflector, positioned over the piston, moves fluid into the measurement chamber, while two coils move the piston back and forth at a constant force. Proprietary circuitry analyzes its two-way travel time to measure absolute viscosity. Every CVI viscometer uses one of these sensors, which is key to running an efficient process since the same technology is utilized both in-line and in the lab. Learn more about this technology.
With over 25 years of experience, CVI understands and meets the needs of laboratory researchers and process engineers in a wide range of industries whose jobs depend on the quality, accuracy, and reliability of viscosity measurement equipment. CVI joined the PAC family in 2012.

Montpelier blaze
closes Main Street
MONTPELIER Lots of smoke and a little bit of fire shut down a portion of Main Street on Saturday evening as firefighters prevented a small blaze from spreading through a century-old home.
The incident began shortly after 5 p.m. when a passerby alerted homeowner Stan Brinkerhoff that thick smoke was billowing from the first floor of his three-story home at 188 Main St.
Brinkerhoff called Montpelier firefighters, who quickly extinguished a small fire in a first-floor storage area.
A singed mattress and a charred pile of clothing in the front yard were the only visible signs of damage from outside, though Brinkerhoff and two tenants living in an attached apartment made plans to stay elsewhere for the night due to a lingering smell of smoke.
Brinkerhoff said the home is insured.
Lt. Jake Larrabee of the Montpelier Fire Department said the fire was small but hot, and produced heavy smoke. He said the cause is undetermined, and Vermont State Police investigators will examine the scene this morning to try to determine what happened.
A fire crew from Barre City joined Montpelier firefighters at the scene.
Main Street was blocked off between North and Loomis streets for about two hours.

Conditional form events
Hello, I was wondering if anyone has any good examples of a form, that I assume would use AJAX or some type of Javascript framework, that can trigger an event based on another event. That probably doesn't make much sense, but what I'm looking to do is if a user selects 'other' from a dropdown list, then I would like a text box to appear, giving the user the ability to enter information regarding why they selected 'other'. I could certainly do this once the form is submitted, but I would like it to appear automatically without the user having to click the submit button.
Any ideas???
Thanks for your time!Yes, this would be ajax - its a fairly common use of ajax, and although this certainly isn't my area of expertise (something I definitely need to work on the way the web's going) I'd be confident of finding a good example with a google search.Thanks Box, I thought the same thing, but I haven't been able to find a solid example of what I am looking for. I am able to find all sorts of validation and I use it quite a bit, but I haven't had much luck in looking for the conditional event trigger.
Thanks.Having thought about it - this could be achieved with just javascript. Ajax is used when you need to make a real-time request to the server, but if you're just wanting an area to smoothly appear when an option is selected, then JavaScript would do it.
You would construct your form in the usual way - including the 'other' text box so that the form is fully functional when javascript isn't present. Then you could use a show/hide javascript function to allow the 'other' textarea to appear when 'other' is clicked. Again, javascript isn't my area really, but you might have more luck finding a show/hide event tutorial for javascript than ajax? I hope so :)
Chris might like to chip in here with his jQuery expertise ;)check the basic jquery video cast chris did. You can just use it to show / hide the relevant fields as box said.

If I buy Microsoft Office 2010 and Microsoft Office 2013 comes out right afterwards, can I return the older version of the program for the new one?
In general, most stores will only accept software returned for a refund if the box is still sealed and the program has not been installed. Microsoft has an explanation of its own returns and refunds policy on its site.
The new version, Microsoft Office 2013, is expected very soon — possibly by the end of the month. If you need the software and just cannot wait for the newest version to arrive, however, Microsoft has an offer than allows you upgrade to Office 2013 for free even if you buy Office 2010 now.
Microsoft Office 2010 (or Office 2011 for the Mac) software purchased between October 19, 2012, and April 30, 2013, is generally eligible for the upgrade. You can find full details on the Office 2013 offer here.

An LLC can be used to combine the limited liability features of a corporation with the flexibility and tax benefits of a partnership. Owners of an LLC are generally known as "members." Management and control of the entity resides with the members unless otherwise provided in the formation documents.
While an LLC does require the filing of Articles of Organization and the adoption of an Operating Agreement by its members, CorpNet® document filing service can provide you with the assistance you need to meet these requirements with minimal investment of your valuable time and money.
Forming a Limited Liability Company is for owners wanting a separate business entity for liability protection, but with fewer formalities. They also want the choice between pass-through and corporate taxation, as well as the ability to allocate profits and losses in proportions different from ownership interests.

R otarians may apply for grants in amounts from US$100,000 to $300,000 to carry out water, sanitation, and hygiene projects in Ghana, the Philippines, and the Dominican Republic through an alliance between Rotary International and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). Health, Hunger and Humanity (3-H) Grants will support Rotary club and district involvement with these projects.
This partnership between RI and USAID is an official Global Development Alliance (GDA), which is an innovative public-private alliance model developed and used by USAID for improving social and economic conditions in developing countries. The GDA combines the assets and experience of strategic partners, such as RI. The GDA leverages its capital and investments, creativity, and access to markets to solve complex problems facing government, business, and communities. Learn more about GDA .
"We intend these projects to be models for future projects with strategic partners and in this way to enhance our contribution to world understanding, goodwill, and peace." - Past RI President William B. Boyd, chair of the International H2O Collaboration Steering Committee
"We intend these projects to be models for future projects with strategic partners and in this way to enhance our contribution to world understanding, goodwill, and peace."
A tentative timeframe for the launch of the first project has been set for the 2009-10 Rotary year, beginning 1 July 2009.
The RI and USAID funds will share project funding, with funding to be distributed separately and independently. This allows for budgeting, expenditures, and reporting mechanisms to be kept completely separate between the two organizations.
Today, more than 1.1 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, and 2.5 billion people lack access to improved sanitation. Each year, 1.8 million people -- 90 percent of them children under age five -- die from preventable diarrheal diseases. Diarrheal diseases and related malnutrition account for virtually all of the deaths and nearly 90 percent of the overall disease burden associated with unsafe water supply, sanitation, and hygiene. Therefore, activities in these areas are key health interventions. (Source: Senator Paul Simon Water for the Poor Act Report to Congress, June 2008)
The United Nations Millennium Development Goals address this situation in goal 7: Ensure environmental sustainability. Within that goal is the target to "halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation."
While the alliance was developed separately from The Rotary Foundation's Future Vision Plan, the concept of strategic partnerships with other organizations has become a vital part of the plan's new grant-making model. Packaged Rotary Foundation Global Grants will leverage funding, advocacy, and technical expertise of other organizations to develop large-scale projects for Rotarians to implement.
Read the fact sheet. If you have further questions about the alliance and its activities, contact Erica Gwynn, RI/USAID project manager, via e-mail or phone at 847-866-3412.

RACINE — The fifth annual Southern Alumni Association "Big Fooze Scholarship" basketball game was once again a huge success — raising $1,323 after expenses for the scholarship named in honor of longtime Racine teacher Hilton Wolfe, Jr.
Recent Hall of Fame inductee Carl Wolfe, coach of the 1980 and 1982 state teams was the oldest player at age 72 to score, hitting a pair of free throws in the first quarter of the old-timers game.
What's old is new and what's new is old. Many good times and great memories were made in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium. That spirit remained during Saturday's alumni event where even more memories were made.
"This has been an emotional weekend," said Scott Wolfe, one of many alumni organizers of this event. "To win the game Friday night here in Charles W. Hayman Gymnasium and tonight hear the kids and fans singing 'Stand Up-and-Cheer' and seeing the alumni cheerleaders out there doing their fight song routine was inspirational."
"We had another great turnout of fans and players," added Wolfe. "It was a nice send-off to the gym and added more money to dad's scholarship fund. I would like to give special thanks to the alumni association for their help with this event, our teachers and students, the fans, the players, the band and everyone else who made this a success. "
The evening began with the women's alumni game which the Southern Gold team won 45-36. Women from the 1970's through 2012 competed in the event. Leading the Gold team was Ashley Roush with 14 points, Courtney Thomas had 13, Kristina Williams Sellers had eight, Morgan McMillan six, and Della Johnson Wolfe two.
The Purple team was led by Rachel Chapman Hupp and Amy Lee each with ten points, Junie Beegle Maynard had eight, Mel Weese four, Tonja Salser Hunter two, Wendy Wolfe Beegle two. Also, contributing were Tammy Smith Chapman and Dawn Johnson Hill.
Immediately after the women's game, the Home National Bank held the annual "Cash Scramble" where $300 was placed all over the Charles W. Hayman gymnasium court. Eight lucky fans were drawn from the several hundred tickets in the pot, and each had to crawl on hands and knees to pick up as much cash as they could in 30 seconds. Brittany Hill was the big winner of the eight, picking up $77.
The remaining money not picked up by the contestants was donated to the "Big Fooze Scholarship Fund" by in-coming Home National Bank President Roma Sayre. The alumni organization expressed its appreciation to the bank for the gesture.
Next, the alumni cheerleading squad performed to "Stand Up-and-Cheer" without skipping a beat. Participating were Aimee Pyles, Amber Cummings Roderus, Michelle McCoy Evans, Marcy Hill Wyatt, Jody Hayes Harrison, Brandy Roush Anderson, Nikki Ihle Whobrey, and Robyn Stout Sargent.
Between events Eber Pickens, Jan Harmon, Rachel Hupp and other alumni held a three-point shooting contest and raised additional funds for the evening.
Southern Local students in grades 1-4 sang the fight song to get the annual event underway, while Chad Dodson accompanied by the Southern Pep Band played the National Anthem.
In the "Old Timers," 1999 and down game, the Gold team won 59-56 in what ended up being a barn-burner. The old competitive Southern spirit was still present.
Jay McKelvey was the leading scorer for the winners with 14, Jack Duffy "The Southern Southpaw" added eight, Andy Grueser seven, Dave "Big Red" Foreman had six, Brad Maynard and Spike Rizer five each, Joe Wolfe had four, Jason Quillen four, while Carl Wolfe, Michael McKelvey, and Kevin Burgess each had two.
Sharp-shooting Ryan Norris led the Purple team with 13, Jamie Evans had two, Ryan Williams eight, Jeremy Hill five, Tyson Buckley four, Jarrod Circle three, John Hoback five, David McMillan four, and Kevin Ihle two. Other contributors were Tim Hill, Nick Adams, and Brian Allen.
The Gold team of 2000 and up won the nightcap 71-66 in another good game. Sean Coppick led all scorers with 23 points. He was followed by Ethan Martin with 10, Colby Roseberry with eight, Brett Beegle eight, Josh Davis six, Adam Cummings five, Josh Pape six, and Andrew Ginther five.
The Purple team was led by Weston Roberts with 18, Patrick Johnson with 16, Bryan Harris with 10, Tyler Roberts four, Chad Hubbard 10, Brad Crouch three and Weston Counts three.
Officials contributing time to the game were Brady Huffman, Nicole Mitani and Shawn Butler.

With the owners' lockout looming over the NFL like a dark cloud, franchises need to come up with alternative solutions for the upcoming season. The 2011 Draft is just around the corner, and if the top college players start to back out, teams will have to look elsewhere to fill their rosters. This sudden turn of events doesn't leave much time for scouting, so nearby, hometown talent will be at a premium. With that in mind, our good friend Shaggy Lewis presents to you his own literal mock draft, full of "players" who can sell tickets without all that pesky "talent" or "practice" that current NFL players demand.
1. Carolina Panthers – Michael Jordan: Air Jordan will unretire AGAIN but he won't ever step on the field, taking over as GM because he possibly couldn't do any worse.
2. Denver Broncos – Tim Allen: Allen's presence will help keep Tim Tebow on the straight and narrow, in fear that Allen will rat on him for the slightest indiscretion.
3. Buffalo Bills – Bruce Noland: Buffalo will look to "Bruce Almighty" as the franchise's savior, asking for nothing more than to be sent back in time to the early 90s and a stiff wind at the end of Super Bowl XXV.
4. Cincinnati Bengals – Marge Schott: Despite being 82 and dead, the former Reds' owner has enough hatred for all of her non-Caucasian opponents to be quite a ferocious tackler.
5. Arizona Cardinals – Stephanie Meyer: Even though the "Twilight" author doesn't bring much to the playing field, Meyer's idea to change the franchise's name to Team Kurt might just be enough to get the former QB to return like a…phoenix.
6. Cleveland Browns – Drew Carey: Although the bespectacled funny man has had a recent weight loss, the Browns are really just hoping opponents will think he is the ghost of Brian Burlsworth, and flee in terror.
7. San Francisco 49ers – Danny Glover: Glover is a low risk investment, as early on in training camp, the 49ers will find out if he's Pro Bowl quality or simply too old for this (expletive).
8. Tennessee Titans – Dolly Parton: Oh, Tennessee Tit-AN-s. Sorry, I misread that.
9. Dallas Cowboys – Jerry Jones: With QB Tony Romo suffering a broken collarbone, Jones is now free to draft himself and become the team's owner, GM, head coach, quarterback, scout, and hot dog vendor.
10. Washington Redskins – Barack Obama: Drafting Obama probably won't lead the Redskins to a Super Bowl, but he can ensure they have the exact same record for the next four seasons.
11. Houston Texans – Chuck Norris: Chuck Norris will not walk to the draft podium. He will simply appear, and suddenly Roger Goodell will have his own concussion problem.
12. Minnesota Vikings – Prince: Minnesota is banking on the 5'2″ Prince sharing work with Adrian Peterson and being able to hide behind the offensive line, undetected by the defense.
13. Detroit Lions – Henry Ford: Detroit will ask Ford to rebuild the Lions and inspire the city, primarily with a offense that hands off 10 times before the last player makes a run for pay dirt.
14. St. Louis Rams – Harry Caray: Embracing its history as a baseball city, St. Louis takes the opportunity to steal Caray back to his original home. Caray will agree to be paid entirely in hot dogs.
15. Miami Dolphins – Horatio Caine: Like an all purpose coach on the field, the crime scene investigator will be able to decode the opponents' entire game plan with one swab of DNA.
16. Jacksonville Jaguars – D-Von Dudley: Dudley's history as a professional wrestler means he fits every requirement for the Jaguars: athleticism, at 6'1″ and 280 pounds, and a hyphen, between the D and the V.

This approach also allows system designers to create system models before physical hardware is available. The models can incorporate various technologies, including mechanical, magnetic, hydraulic, thermal effects, or other characteristics that can be described using algebraic or differential equations. Plus, a model-based design approach allows designers to leverage transfer function-, RTL-, algorithmic-, and even specification-based models.
System engineers in military and aerospace can create and analyze analog, mixed signal, digital, and electromechanical designs with SystemVision. You can explore concepts, specify system functionality, investigate architectural partitions, and integrate implementation of electronics, sensors/actuators, controls, and embedded software, all in one virtual environment.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
U.S AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. - Air Force senior forward Kyle De Laurell and junior defenseman Adam McKenzie were both named first-team all-Atlantic Hockey Association as voted by the league's coaches.
De Laurell was the top goal-scorer in AHA games with 17 goals in 27 games. He also tied for fifth in the AHA in points in conference games with 28 (17-11-28). The left winger from Mission Viejo, Calif. (Pine Creek H.S./Colorado Springs) also tied for fifth in the league with five power play goals and was tied for fifth in game-winning goals with three. He was named the AHA Player of the Week on Jan. 14 as he helped lead Air Force to three points against Army. De Laurell had a hat trick, including the game-winner, in game one and added the game-tying goal in game two. In the final 18 games of the season, he scored 15 goals and had 23 points. De Laurell was also a first-team selection as a junior.
McKenzie was fifth in the league in points by a defenseman with 17 points in 22 games. The Petaluma, Calif., native was tied for fourth in the league in power-play points with 12 and was tied for sixth in power-play goals with five. McKenzie was named the AHA Player of the Week on March 4 as he scored five points (1-4-5) as the Falcons swept the 13th-ranked Purple Eagles in the final regular-season series. He had a career-high four points (1-3-4) in the win on March 2. The conference honor was the second for McKenzie as he was also named to the AHA all-rookie team in 2010-11.
Air Force finished the season with a 17.1-3-7 overall and was second in the AHA with a 15-7-5 record.

D-E-D Dead!
Blurb from the book
In D-E-D DEAD!, Geoffrey McGeachin's riotous new adventure thriller, Alby Murdoch - international photographer and Australian special agent - ducks bullets and bombs from Bondi to Bali and back as he attempts to unravel a a lethal web of high-level dodgy dealings... From the moment Alby drops his gun on a St Kilda tram he knows he's in for a bad day. Then his partner Harry is gunned down in a Double Bay coffee shop. By lunchtime Alby realises someone wants him dead - and they want him dead now. All Alby wants is some pasta, a good bottle of wine and to know more about the mysterious Grace Goodluck -- long dark hair, legs up to there, and piercing slate-grey eyes - sniper's eyes. But he also has to figure out who shot Harry and who wants him dead. And why. Unfortunately for Alby, the answer lies over the razor wire and past the anti-personnel mines protecting Bitter Springs, a top-secret US military facility deep in the central Australian desert. Now that can really ruin your day...

The percentage of women attorneys working in the Pennsylvania offices of the state's 100 largest law firms has inched up slightly from 2011 to 2012, but the numbers are still lower than some expected.
It has long been noted that women make up smaller percentages of attorney headcount -- something even more apparent at the equity partner level -- than their male counterparts, despite years of statistics that show women graduating from law school in numbers equal to or just slightly lower than men. That phenomenon seems to have played out in Pennsylvania firms as well, according to numbers reported in The Legal Intelligencer affiliate PaLaw 2012.
Each year, PaLaw magazine breaks down the percentage of full-time female attorneys working in the Pennsylvania offices of the 100 largest law firms in the state. While the numbers only account for the Pennsylvania offices and some firms may have more women working in other locations around the globe, for many of the 100 largest firms, their only presence is in the Keystone State, providing a good snapshot of the number of women lawyers in Pennsylvania firms.
In looking at the 95 firms for which gender data was available, 28.5 percent of lawyers working in the Pennsylvania offices of the state's largest firms are women. That figure is up from 27.8 percent in 2011.
In looking at the percentage of lawyers in Pennsylvania offices who are female partners, the figure drops to nearly 9.9 percent. PaLaw does not differentiate between equity and nonequity partners for purposes of the percentage-of-women breakdown, so the number of female equity partners as a percentage of the overall lawyer headcount is almost certainly less than 9.9 percent.
Lisa M. Benzie of Angino & Rovner in Harrisburg is co-chairwoman of the Pennsylvania Bar Association's Commission on Women in the Profession. She said it is always good to see the percentage of female attorneys increase. She said that may have to do with the fact that nearly all law firms have some sort of women's initiative in place. Such initiatives have been around for decades in some firms, but Benzie said they are becoming more concrete and less abstract than they were in the past.
But while the overall percentage improved, Benzie said it's important to look at the breakdown of partners, associates, staff associates and of counsel. If most of the women are moving into the staff associate or nonequity partner role, the profession needs to look at whether that was by choice or whether the doors are not open to higher-level positions.
Benzie said 28.5 percent is certainly lower than what she would hope for the profession given women had long been graduating from law school at equal rates to men, but she said it is probably close to where the numbers have been for the last decade. The concern is that some expect the number of women graduating from law school to plateau or fall in the coming years, Benzie said.
The two firms that top our list both happen to be employment law boutiques.

All government or no government is no choice at all
Randy Blaser
Updated: September 14, 2012 1:16PM
I still recall watching my first national convention from the comfort and safety of my living room sofa instead of from Michigan Avenue, where protestors were getting their heads bashed in by Chicago police.
I remember the quagmire that was the 1972 Democratic convention when Mayor Richard J. Daley and his slate of delegates were kicked out. I think I was the only one left awake when George McGovern pleaded, "Come home, America."
In 1988, I got mad when George Bush declared his "1,000 points of light." He's ripping off W.H. Auden, I thought.
Of all the other conventions since that first one, there isn't much of consequence to remember. So it goes with 2012.
Unfortunately, Americans are looking for answers to the serious problems facing this nation — unemployment, loss of individual wealth, massive government debt locally and nationally — and the looming problems abroad — the rise of China, change in the Arab world, Europe on the brink and war drums between Israel and Iran.
But all we get are platitudes and extremes.
At the risk of alienating my friends on either side of the aisle, I will try to offer a critique more in keeping with those of us who have to live out the consequences of the fringe positions mapped out by both sides when most Americans find themselves wanting
compromise somewhere in the middle.
Democrats still pin their hopes on hope, but I'm betting most Americans are done with hoping things get better. Hope doesn't feel so good when you continue to cut back to make ends meet or, worse, dip into your greatly diminished savings to keep the house that is worth much less. Hope won't deliver much more than just getting by.
I'm too old to swoon over a speech full of platitudes magnificently delivered. That's the sizzle. I want the steak.
paying the piper ...
Republicans may be correct when they say we're nearly out of funding for entitlements. Too much has been promised to too many. Something's gotta give. But cutting more taxes just seems foolish when the Bush tax cuts coupled with two wars got us into this fix. Someone has to pay the piper. But the infirm, the aged and the poor shouldn't be the ones footing that bill.
All government all the time, or no government ever, is a false choice. But that's what they're giving us.~.

Hello. Welcome to Coot.
The 2012 ACA Coot Basics can be found here.
The 2012 ACA Coot Extras can be found here.
What does Coot stand for?
Crystallographic Object-Oriented Toolkit
What does it do?
Coot is for macromolecular model building, model completion and validation, particularly suitable for protein modelling using X-ray data.
Coot displays maps and models and allows model manipulations such as idealization, real space refinement, manual rotation/translation, rigid-body fitting, ligand search, solvation, mutations, rotamers, Ramachandran plots, skeletonization, non-crystallographic symmetry and more.
What's the latest stable release?
What's it like?
Coot has some features that resemble those of Frodo, O, Quanta and XtalView's XFit. It is a completely independent system of course. Coot doesn't do many aspects of structure represention (for example ribbons or sophisticated colouring schemes).
Coot is under development. New features are being added. There may be bugs.
Is there a Coot FAQ?
Is there a Coot Mailing list?
There is a new and improved Coot email list now hosted by the jiscmail service :
This was started on January 25th 2007. The old archives are available at the following link :
Is there Coot documentation?
The 2010 CCP4 Study weekend presentation can be found here.
The 2004 CCP4 Study weekend presentation can be found here.
How do I cite Coot?
Please see the FAQ. Get the paper.
OK, how does it look?
Like this:
Hmm... very pretty. Any other piccies?
Try here.
What formats?
PDB, mmCIF, MTZ files, .phs and others.
It makes maps from MTZ and .phs files?
Can it read conventional CCP4 maps?
Can it read any other kind of map?
Yes, it can read CNS maps.
Is it scriptable?
Yep, hundreds of functions are made available to the user via SWIG and can be scripted in either Python or scheme.
Where do I get it?
- Source Code
- Binaries available here or here
- Pre-release Binaries
- FTP access to Binaries
Which binary to use? See the FAQ.
How do I install it?
Read the README in the source tar file.
What libraries do I need?
- fftw
- mmdb
- ccp4c
- clipper
- guile or Python
- glib
- GTK+-2 and gdk
- pthread
- gtkglext
- gnome-canvas
- zlib
- glut
Errg. Sounds complicated.
Yes, it is a bit. We build binary distributions every night. Perhaps one of those will work.
There is an "autobuilder" build script which we use to make build the binaries.
I should add that coot depends on many other projects, some general (GTk+, the GNU Scientific Library, python, guile, GL graphics libraries and toolkits) and others more specific to structural biology (mmdb, clipper) which are fundamental to the design and implementation of the program.
What is the licence?
Mostly GPLv3, some GLPv2+, some LGPLv3.
So I can just download it and use it, no questions asked?
Yep. Be my guest.
Even if I'm Big Pharma?
Yes. Try it out.
(Other options are available.)
On which platforms does it run?
Certainly on Ubuntu, Fedora (Core) Linux, Microsoft Windows, MacOS X and sometimes sgi. You can get WinCoot here.
Getting the Coot binaries to run on RHEL, or SuSe might take a bit more effort. Please see the Coot FAQ.
Do you have any independent testimonials?
Errr, not yet.
Will you ever release version 1.0?
Yes, there is a road-map to 1.0. ETA 18 months.
Not to be confused with:
Alwyn Jones' O, Quanta, XtalView, CCP4mg (warning: page can be slow to load).
What is the Coot holding in its beak, by the way?
It's biting off the terminal phosphate of an ATP.
And that's supposed to be an allusion to a biochemical process is it?
Err.. yes.
Most likely to say:
"Now how does that Refmac button work again..?"
Least likely to say:
"On reflection, it'd have been much better to implement using Tcl/Tk."
Oh, and by the way, do you read the Guardian?
It's been know...

Morning All…
As I went for my morning walk with my housemate Kim this morning… we were talking about a whole array of tough political, game changing, worldly topics. One of the topics was "scrambled eggs should never be served sans toast"... come on it was 6am after all! What did you expect?
Our theory on scrambled eggs with no toast is that it may do what it needs to do initially, but with out a doubt an hour and a half later you are absolutely ravenous again… at which point we gorge on food that possibly isn't the best for us… see pic!
So by simply adding a slice (or two) of toast with our morning scrambled eggs… we can go through to lunch and not feel the need to binge on high sugar, high fat yet delicious and scrumptious snacks… At this point I felt the need to take it that step further and compare it to marketing without selling….
You see, I come across so many well meaning, enthusiastic business leaders and owners who are determined to get their bodies (I mean businesses) into shape through marketing… and unfortunately I am seeing that they are starting to gorge themselves silly on non effective, pricey, and unproved marketing activities instead of simply adding a "sales" activity.
Like scrambled eggs and toast… marketing and sales should never be separated – they should and need to start working together if your ROMI (return on marketing investment) is truly going to be seen. If you are going to create a brochure… great… and whats the objective for that brochure and how is it going to make you money? Create an online campaign… great…. what are you going to do in the follow up sales activities that is going to give you a return that you never thought possible. Do a letter drop… ooh wait…. never do a letter drop – period!
So how can you add a simple equation of selling to your marketing? All you need to do is everytime you create a marketing activity ask yourself these questions:
- After the marketing activity is complete… now what? (TIP: the answer is NEVER another marketing activity)
- Has my marketing activity driven any revenue?…. if the answer is NO – then you have yet to sell!
- Have you earned the right? What I mean by this is that sure you have done a great marketing activity… have you in fact managed to build great rapport with your customer to the point where they are begging to buy from you – and you don't need to ask? If not… INSERT SALES ACTIVITY.
So don't be stingy on the toast… yes you will get some short term benefits – try to start thinking of the long term gain though, and that does not include spending copious amounts of money on sugary, fatty marketing delights!
Would love to hear your thoughts…
