Two more readers have decided to permanently mark their bodies to show how much they love gaming (and wearing sleeves for job interviews). The first — Jim Osterhout — had his Fallout tat done back in 2005. A stylish, almost calligraphic, Vault Boy in black ink with yellow and red highlights (and a bonus penguin). Jim informs us that he has taken to telling non-gamers that it is a picture of him. Secondly, Adam Zweig sent pics of his impressive, full-color sleeve tattoo featuring "Sonic, Shy-Guys, Paper Mario, Poe, Ghoul, Nel from Star Ocean, C&C Renegade Dead 6 Logo". Bet that hurt.
Weirdly, both pics arrived in my inbox within ten minutes of one another. Is this what it is like being Warren Ellis? Are you lot going to start sending in Polaroids of your video-game-themed genital modifications now? Thank you, no.

This cold snap is a real pain the bum.
It's not like when you were a kid and the sight of a fresh covering of the white stuff hyped up your excitement levels to 11, as you contemplated all the snow-based fun you could have.
Now, it simply means that it will be difficult to get into work, your heating bill will rocket, and you won't be able to use your smartphone with your big gloves on.
And whilst there are capacitive touchscreen friendly gloves out there, they are neither cheap nor all that thick - and this weather definitely calls for some seriously thick glove-action.
But GloveTips has a solution, a do-it-yourself kit that you can add to your favourite mitts.
The tips are conductive, soft, metallic tips that you simply add to the fingers that you use on your current gloves. The tips are wired to conductive fabric pads via silver threads, which are hidden away inside your gloves.
For $19.99 you'll get three tips as well as the threads and pads that go with them.

When the Hotel Pennsylvania opened in 1916, it was the world's largest hotel, a stately complement to the grand Pennsylvania Railroad Station across Seventh Avenue. Its guests enjoyed a rooftop restaurant, Turkish baths, and Roman decorative flourishes. Now, close to a century later, it merely lingers while the building's owners make plans to replace it with a controversial skyscraper.
Hotel Pennsylvania, 1919. PR 042, McKim, Mead & White Architectural Record Collection
McKim, Mead and White, the firm that built the hotel, along with the original Penn Station, had a leading role in introducing Beaux-Arts architecture to American cities and towns. By the time it started work on the hotel, McKim, Mead and White had already made its mark throughout the country with buildings that gave the Gilded Age a classical and ornate setting.
Penn Station, however, which is considered by some to be the firm's masterpiece, met its end in 1967. The fate of the Hotel Pennsylvania depends on how quickly its owner, Varvato Group, is able to finalize plans to build a 1,215 foot tall tower in its place.

PR 042, McKim, Mead & White Architectural Record Collection Naturally, preservationists have argued against this proposed demolition, and while their efforts may ultimately be in vain, we can at least say that the nearly 2,000 architectural drawings for the building are safe and sound in the Library's collection.

Starting in 2009 with a grant from the Save America's Treasures program, the New-York Historical Society is in the midst of an extensive project to preserve these as well as an estimated 58,000 other McKim, Mead and White drawings, all relics of an architectural golden age.

FRIDAY, Sept. 24, 2010 (HealthDay News) -- Lee Smith of Marietta, Ga., set himself up with an unusual 50th birthday gift: He scheduled a colonoscopy for a couple of days later.
One of his uncles had died of colon cancer, and his father had died of leukemia when Smith was just 3 years old. "I always had it in my mind that, when I turned 50, I would do this because of my family history," he said.
While he was recovering after the procedure, the doctor came in with some shocking news.
"They found around 75 precancerous polyps, which is an enormous number," Smith, now 51, said. "I was certainly surprised. It was a scary thing. What happened to my father was a lot of the emotional part of this. I grew up without a father, and so the last thing I wanted to do was have my kids grow up without a father."
Doctors usually can remove polyps found during a colonoscopy, making it one of the best cancer-prevention techniques around. But they couldn't remove that many, Smith recounted. He said that he and his doctor began talking that very day about major surgery to remove part of his colon.
A few weeks later, Smith returned for the surgery. "The polyps were not all over my colon, but were concentrated in certain areas," he said. "They cut out two-thirds of my colon, and then reconnected the two ends."
The surgery went fine, he said, but recuperating took a lot of time, starting with an eight-day hospital stay after the surgery. "Basically they shut your system down, and then they have to restart it again," he said. "They have to be convinced that the system is all working again before they will let you go home."
He then spent several months at home fully healing from the surgery. "I've got a 12-inch scar on my belly where they opened me up," he said. "It's very painful, even with the drugs, because of the place of the incision."
But, he added with a chuckle, "it only hurts when you move."
Radiation and chemotherapy were not part of his treatment, Smith said, because the polyps were detected so early. And he remains cancer free.
"I've had one colonoscopy since then," he said. "I had one or two polyps, and they took them out, and everything's fine."
Smith said he considers his colonoscopy and surgery "a case study in preventive medicine."
"If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't be here," he said. "I'm healthy. I'm exercising. The good news in all of this is we caught it early and I'll get to see my kids grow up, which I definitely would not have been able to do otherwise," Lee added.
"I really do consider myself blessed because we found this thing early and cut it out," he said.

Would Bears have kept Smith if he made playoffs?
Time for a do-over.
I had just finished writing my column about how I thought Lovie Smith should stay as the head coach of the Chicago Bears. I cited 10 wins, and figured we could do a lot worse.
Lovie, though, wasn't general manager Phil Emery's guy.
I have no problem with Smith being gone, but if the Green Bay Packers had beaten the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Smith would be preparing for the playoffs right now.
Would he have been let go if the Bears made the playoffs after the season was over? I don't know. The fact is the Bears have a lot of money tied up in offensive players that haven't progressed the way the hierarchy had hoped.
Injuries can be blamed along with an older team with fading stars, but the fact is Lovie Smith was a defensive coach. Guys like Jay Cutler, Devin Hester and Matt Forte and others on offense never really got better. Brandon Marshall was the only star on offense who showed up every week.
Also say goodbye to most, if not all, of the assistant coaches. A full house cleaning is in order, and look for some players such as Devin Hester to be moved.
Now, who will be the next head coach of the Chicago Bears? It should be an interesting off-season. Hmmm I wonder what Mike Ditka is doing?
New school vs. old school
Tony Romo fans have to finally admit he can't get it done. RG3 and the Washington Redskins are going to the playoffs along with Russell Wilson of the Seattle Seahawks and Andrew Luck of Indy.
These young quarterbacks make guys like Cutler, Romo, and Michael Vick look like relics. Don't worry, though, the veteran quarterback club is well represented with Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers.
I do think it is fun to have some teams in the playoffs that don't usually get in, such as the Redskins, the Minnesota Vikings and the Cincinnati Bengals.
Other old-school teams are out too, such as the New York Giants, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the New Orleans Saints. It's going to be a great playoff run and my dark horse team to win the Super Bowl is the Redskins at a very good price of about 30 to 1.
New Year's Day picks
I'm going to give readers of the Daily Herald a couple of winners to consider for New Year's Day games. Take the Northwestern Wildcats (-1) over Mississippi State. Also, I like Nebraska (+9) over Georgia. And, of course, take Northern Illinois getting (13 ½) in the Orange Bowl against a Florida State team.
Good luck and have a great New Year's!
Program note:
Look for me on Mancow's show on Ch. 50 (WPWR) at 6 a.m. Friday.

Two Simple Questions About O'Keefe's Role In The Latest Big Government Smear
Blog ››› ››› NED RESNIKOFF
On Tuesday I noted that Philip Christofanelli -- the undergrad "whistleblower" helping Big Government go after two labor studies lecturers at the University of Missouri -- is a former James O'Keefe collaborator. It seemed like an important detail, given that video from the class somehow ended up in the splice-happy hands of Insurgent Visuals.
Anyway, it didn't take long for me to get a response from Big Government. And I have to admit, for once they scored a direct hit against Media Matters: they correctly identified a typo in my post. What they didn't do was give a direct answer to the central question: Is James O'Keefe playing a role in Project "Go After The Teachers?"
They get close to a response. They claim I'm arguing that James O'Keefe is "secretly behind the revelation of communist indoctrination," and that this is a "conspiracy theory." But that's just sneering, not a categorical denial. And if the answer to my question is "no," it'd be nice to hear them come out and say it.
After all, I don't think my question is too unreasonable. Given that he's a clear link between Christofanelli and Big Government, you can see why I might think O'Keefe has something to do with this whole smear campaign. Plus, as News Corpse first reported, someone named James O'Keefe is listed as the contributor on the now-defunct insurgentvisuals.blogspot.com. Crooks and Liars has a screenshot here. It's certainly possible that that's a different Insurgent Visuals, or a different James O'Keefe, or both. But -- and this might just be the tinfoil hat talking -- that seems like an awfully big coincidence.
So how about it, Big Government? Did Christofanelli give O'Keefe the video or not? And does O'Keefe have any connection to the group that released them to the public?

LATEST OBSESSION: SAINT LAURENT SNAKE-EFFECT MONOGRAMME SHOULDER BAGCategories:Other Brands
I'm often critical of Saint Laurent under Hedi Slimane, but the man does have an undeniable knack for certain things. To me, his collections often feel cobbled together of riffs on pieces other labels have found cool-girl success with, like Chelsea boots and leather jackets marked up until they feel rarified, but that approach does turn out a lot of pieces that are enviable on their own. This week, the piece that's caught my eye is the embossed snake version of the Saint Laurent Monogramme Mini Shoulder Bag.
This bag shape has always been my favorite of Saint Laurent's offerings; it feels like the little purse a very cool girl in the 80s would take to an after-hours club downtown, complete with the retro-iconic YSL logo. Katherine has one, and I've always been just a little bit jealous.
This version, though, is my favorite yet. Not only is the body of the bag snake-embossed, but when you look closely, the signature logo is made of a series of entwined metal serpents. The transformation goes just far enough; it's clear what you're looking at, but the logo stays intact. If this version ever shows up in black, I will die on the spot.

Spotlight: The Saint Laurent Monogramme East-West ToteCategories:Other Brands
Saint Laurent doesn't do the splashy bag launches and re-launches every season that some brands do. Hedi Slimane has built his company's popularity on trying to make the best versions of the things every woman already wants in her closet, whether that's the perfect little going-out bag or the perfect pair of Chelsea boots to wear six months out of the year. That means that seasonal variation isn't as important as it is to a brand like Fendi, and under those circumstances, a new bag launch is always intriguing.
The Saint Laurent Monogramme East-West Tote is a Pre-Fall 2015 addition to the existing Monogramme line that's just become available for pre-order, and it's traditional and discreet enough to make a solid workday bag for anyone heading into the office on a daily basis. It features the most subtle logo of all the Monogramme bags so far (a small, golden "YSL" on the removable clochette), it has an optional shoulder straps and, at 14 inches wide, it fits right into the work-bag sweet spot for most women.
The Monogramme is a little more subtle than Saint Laurent's other super-popular tote, theSac de Jour, and it lacks the super-distinctive gusset and squared handle attachments that have made that tote a signature. This bag feels a little more businesslike, at least in its current iterations. The Monogramme is available for pre-order now, but it likely won't ship until September.
Do you like this design better than the Sac de Jour, or not as much?

Saint Laurent Monogramme Shopper Versus the Shoulder BagCategories:Other Brands
This a new series called 'Bag Versus' where we evaluate similar bags and determine what's a better buy over another bag pitting them against each other. This series will begin by evaluating the Saint Laurent Monogramme series with the classic 'YSL' logo that has been created in a number of styles. Two styles that are similar but different include the latest 'Saint Laurent Monogramme Shopper Tote' and the 'Saint Laurent Monogramme Shoulder Bag'.
At a glance these two bags appear very similar. Both have the same strap, they have the same price point (about $2,550 USD) and the also have similar boxy shapes.
So if you had to choose, which one is better? Here's a run down of pros and cons of each.
The Saint Laurent Monogramme Shopper
It features a convenient centre zippered enclosures, similar to that of the GST. However, at $2,550 USD it's just $350 lower than the Classic Chanel GST which is priced at $2,900 USD. This Shopper Tote features a top tab closure the securely fastens closed on the front of the flap. It measures about 13.75″ across making it a good everyday city bag with an interior depth of 4.5″.
The simple certain tab doesn't exactly ensure that items can't fall out of your bag. Imagine tipping the bag over, most likely small items like wallets and cell-phones that are not kept securely in the center zip could fall out.
The Saint Laurent Monogramme Shoulder
The Saint Laurent Monogramme Shoulder bag features a large 'YSL' logo on the front, which can be a positive item. The tab could also be a negative item for those that want a more subdued and less flashy 80's look. The bag measures at around 12.25″ which is just one inch shy of the shopper tote, which makes it a lighter bag and smaller in stature. This bag could also be transferred to a clutch since the bag has a narrow depth at only 3 inches, which makes the bag more versatile than the shopper.
The shoulder bag fastenes securely in the front, and the flap will prevent your items from falling out of it easily.
The interior of the Shoulder bag is pretty minimal. There is one large opening and a pretty narrow interior pocket. There isn't too much in terms of interior organization, unlike the shopper tote, which has more compartments. However, the interior depth of three inches does allow you to view the contents fairly well, so there would be limited instances of rummaging the interior of your purse.
As with any purchase, it really depends on what you already have in your current arsenal. However, the Monogramme Shoulder bag is probably the best choice of the two since it can serve dual purposes, as an every day city bag and an evening bag.

I can only imagine the kind of high the guys at Stewart-Haas Racing are on- considering that I am still excited about the All-Star win. In my excitement over the win I realized that in my last post I didn't do my usual NOTES FROM THE ALL STAR RACE so I will include them here in their own little post.
- Was I the only one who was kind of surprised that Joey Logano got the fan vote? I don't know WHY I was so surprised but I definitely was surprised.
- Did Jimmie Johnson really not understand the format of the race? He repeatedly asked crew chief Chad Knaus about it. I figured it out within a minute of hearing the rules. My parent didn't get it (although you would think my dad would since he use to go to our local dirt track when I was a kid) and I had to explain it to them over and over again- throughout the race. Chad- I understand your pain! You have far more patience than I.
- Speaking of Jimmie Johnson- I happened to catch him Sunday on Wind Tunnel and I will say this- the (extremely) short hair surprised me. It's about the same length as his beard. Apparently if you go to a BBQ at Jimmie's friend's house…you might come back with much shorter hair. It's taken me quite awhile to grow mine back out so- remind me to be weary of BBQ invitations.
- The mandatory 10 minute stop before the dash for the cash? Genius! I think every race should have that. Not before the last ten laps- but maybe at the half way point or three quarters point. Just think how that would change strategy.
- Who do YOU think caused the wreck that took out Jeff Gordon: Kyle Busch? Ryan Newman? Jeff Gordon? It was just a racin' deal? I am interested to find out what you think. Let me know in the comments.
- I would have loved to been a fly on the wall to that celebration party let me tell you. Tony told the press there was going to be an over/under wager as to when he would actually wake up on Sunday. Considering that the race wasn't even over til after midnight on the East Coast and that Tony then had media obligations before he and the crew could go out and really ring in the celebration. Of course I have no idea, but if I could throw my money on it I would pick 3:45pm. And for when he actually dragged himself out of bed? 4:14 pm. I pretty much just picked them out of the air…but I guess we will never know! I emailed my friend and told her (she was the one who told me about the over/under bet to begin with) and her official thought is I am not taking enough into consideration and am being far kind on my actual out of bed. Her two cents are actually out of bed at 5:00pm. Feel free to play along in the comments…but realize we will never know the actual answer.
- I also love this quote from Tony after the race and first win for Stewart-Haas Racing and his new Office Depot/Old Spice team:
"My first reaction was, I wish I could have seen the looks on their faces when we came off [Turn] 4, and we had the lead with two to go," Stewart said of his team. "I didn't dare say anything on the radio. I didn't say a word. But man, I wanted to see what the pit box looked like those last two laps." –Tony Stewart post All-Star race quote.
- I love that quote because I was able to see those guys all lined up on that pit box watching and cheering! And then to see them jump off! It was a great moment. I am glad my celebratory leap from the couch wasn't caught on film!
This next weekend gives us the longest race on the NASCAR circuit: the Coca-Cola 600 also at Lowes Motor Speedway. I hope Tony's luck from the all-star win carries over to the 600!!! YEY!!!

Indiana vs. Ohio State
Thad Matta might not be the best coach in the Big-Ten, but he is an amazing recruiter. Rivals.com ranked this season's recruiting class as the fifth best in the country and in Matta's last three classes, he brought in highly ranked big men, including Mr. Greg Oden.
The last two seasons Matta also brought in guards Jon Diebler and William Buford, both came to Ohio State and unfortunately were over-shadowed.
Diebler averaged 40 points and 13 rebounds a game his senior year of high school to became Ohio's all-time leading scorer. He also won Ohio's Mr. Basketball. Last season he was recruited by Thad Matta and was quickly over-looked for seven-footer Kosta Koufos.
Buford averaged 23 points and 11 rebounds a game his senior year of high school. He also won Ohio's Mr. Basketball. This season he was recruited by Matta and was quickly over-looked for seven-footer B.J. Mullens.
Last nights 77-53 win against Indiana, Diebler started strong shooting 3 for 3 from distance and then finished the game with 17 points, five assists, three rebounds, two blocks and one steal.
Buford lead the Buckeyes in scoring with 19 points, seven rebounds, three assists and two steals. Between the two starting guards, they shot 9 for 16 from behind the arc and only committed one turnover. For this team to be successful, Diebler and Buford have to continue to play at this recent level production.
The Buckeyes will also need Mullens to live up to the hype, even coming off the bench. His play has improve as of late and he conributed 14 points and eight rebounds in the win againist Indiana. Mullens has scored in double figures four out fo the last seven games, but most of his points have come once the game was decided. He has yet to have a double digit rebound game.
The game was never close. It looked Ohio State had tipped-off against a JV squad as Ohio State was able to get easy shots and the Hoosiers had to work for everything. And while Indiana continues to improve, they will have to be content with moral victories and this season there will be plenty.
But the rest of the Big-Ten better get their shots in now because Tom Creen has the third best recruiting class coming next season, according to Rivals.com.
Kentucky vs. Tennessee
Stat Line of the Night: 54 points, 15 for 22 from the field, 10 for 22 from three, 14 for 14 from the charity stripe, eight rebounds, four assists, and one steal.
Jodie Meeks broke Dan Issel's 39 year-old single game scoring record by scoring 54 points and lead the Kentucky Wildcats into Knoxville and beat N0. 24 Tennessee Volunteers 90-72.
I am not sure what is more distributing; the ease at which Meeks scored, the fact that no other Wildcat was in double figures, or the way Tennessee has completely fallen apart.
The typical Tennessee intensity was not present as the Volunteers were just as excited to watch Meeks break the record, opting not to play defense.
Meeks did put on an amazing show, shouting from everywhere but he did not force shots. He hit all his free throws and hit shots far behind the three point line with defenders in his face.
But it was too easy for Meeks and there was nothing Bruce Pearl and the Volunteers could have done. But that could have at least tired a little harder. Heads-up to Coach Pearl, Meeks wears #23 for the blue team. Just thought you should know.
Tyler Smith and Wayne Chism did their best, scoring 19 and 18 respectively and did make the game interesting about midway through the second half before Meeks decided to remove all doubt and finish the game and record off.
Tulsa vs. Memphis
Tulsa turned in a solid performance and had the Tigers in a a cage until Antonio Anderson hit a driving lay-up as time expired to give Memphis the win on the road 55-54.
Memphis had lead the majority of the game until Tulsa made a comeback in the second half behind juniors Jerome Jordan and Ben Uzoh and the game was at 39 points apiece with 12 minutes left in the second half.
The 6'3″ Uzoh had a strong game with 16 points, eight rebounds, two steals, and two blocks and hit two clutch free throws with 4.5 seconds to give Tulsa their last lead.
Tulsa's Jordan is playing just his fourth year of organized basketball. Jordan gave the Tigers trouble in the post and finished with 20 points, 13 rebounds, three assists and four blocks on Tuesday night. The seven foot junior has come on strong this season, scoring in double figures in 13 of Tulsa's last 15 games.
For Memphis, the freshmen Evans finally looked comfortable. He was quick, decisive with the ball and shot well from the floor. Evans got to the foul line eight times, was 2-2 from deep, but did have four turnovers.
Anderon might have carried the ball on the last play, but we won't talk about that.
Quick Hits
- Dunk of the Night: Florida State freshmen Chris Singleton had a clear path down the lane. He went to the hole to grab a rebound on a missed shot that bounced straight at him. Singleton stretched way back in mid air, grabbed the ball and threw it down hard. It doesn't sound as impressive as it was to watch it. But it was ridiculous. FSU won the game, beating North Carolina State 78-65.
- The Kansas Jayhawks beat their instate rivals from Manhattan, Kansas 87-71 behind 24 points of Sherron Collins. This "rivalry" was really good for one season. This season, not so much.
- After recently having the nation's longest home winning streak snapped, the BYU Cougars defeated the TCU Horned Frogs 73-61 to stretch their new home winning streak to two games in a row. Only 51 more to match the last one.
- Homer Shout Out: The North Dakota Fighting Sioux needed over time to beat the University of Mary 84-78. UND's Daniel Harkins lead all scorers with 25 points.

Did Van Halen Borrow Their New Album Cover Art From a Legendary Motown Band?
Van Halen will hit the road next month with Kool & The Gang opening selected shows, and if that seems like an odd choice for an opening act...stay tuned, because the funk doesn't end there.
Blabbermouth uncovered that the artwork for Van Halen's new album 'A Different Kind of Truth' is very similar to the cover art for 'Movin' On,' the 1975 album by American soulsters the Commodores, who you probably remember because of songs like 'Easy,' 'Three Times A Lady' and their booty-quaking anthem 'Brick House.'
Apparently, Van Halen is not only recycling a few of their own old riffs on this album -- they're also finding ways to repurpose trains as well…and we're okay with that, because the artwork looks really cool.
Rock and roll and trains are hardly a new combination – off the top of our heads, the artwork for Motorhead's 1986 album 'Orgasmatron' also features a train, as did the stage set for AC/DC's mammoth 'Black Ice' tour, which kicked off most nights with their then brand-new 'Rock N' Roll Train' single.
Dubbed by David Lee Roth as "the king of ten fingers and six strings," Edward Van Halen recently paid it forward in a big way by donating 75 of his guitars to L.A. public schools, ensuring that future generations of L.A. rockers will continue to kick it out with good old fashioned electric guitars.

Well-trained horse performs hilarious 'choreography' to Billy Ray Cyrus classic
July 20, 2019
A horse is a horse, of course... except when she's a line dancer. A beautiful gray mare dances the electric slide so well to "Achy Breaky Heart" that Billy Ray Cyrus himself posted a video of her performance to his Facebook page in April 2015, labeling it the "Best thing ever!"
In the video, the animal takes the center position in a group line dance performed during an entertainment segment of an unidentified rodeo. She begins right on cue, stepping and twirling with the other dancers in perfect time. The audience is delighted to see her smooth moves, cheering and clapping to the beat.
It's a testament to patience, training and partnership to see the mare move with her backward-facing ears listening to her partner and tail twitching in concentration and balance. Clearly, many hours were spent learning the steps to the electric slide, but they look like they're having so much fun performing it that one might think they're just horsing around!

A nervous New Year's for Obamacare
So January has finally arrived, maybe New Year's Eve didn't end so well for you, and you've decided to take your brand-new Obamacare coverage out for a test drive.
Except — oops — maybe your new health insurer doesn't have any record of you. Or you didn't get the coverage you thought you were getting.
Story Continued Below
The arrival of Jan. 1 will be a big event for President Barack Obama's health care law — the day when Americans across the country can use their new health insurance for the first time. It could be a day of badly needed success stories, if people have a smooth time and sing the praises of their new private health insurance or Medicaid coverage.
But it could also be a day of hiccups, and if there's any reality to some of the new problems health care analysts have been warning about — like people who thought they were covered but find out they're not, or can't sign up in time to replace their canceled coverage — that's when we could start hearing about them.
If the Affordable Care Act can get through its first days of actual health coverage without big eruptions, the Obama administration may finally be able to move toward a narrative that focuses on how the law can work. But if it has to spend those days putting out more fires, the phrase "troubled rollout" won't be going away anytime soon.
Here's a guide to the "ruh roh" moments health care experts will be watching for next week:
Hey, I didn't get signed up in time
One potential problem that's getting a lot of White House attention, thanks to all of the canceled health insurance policies, is that there could be people who tried to replace their old coverage with insurance that meets Obamacare standards — but they couldn't get it done in time and they'll end up with no coverage on Jan. 1.
The Obama administration estimates that nearly half a million people may not have been able to replace their canceled coverage — not as many as there could have been, given the larger estimates of all canceled policies, but still a problem. And if they're not taken care of, it won't take long for the people who suddenly face a lapse in coverage to complain loudly about it and put real faces on the issue.
The administration has been scrambling to get on top of that problem. That's one reason it suddenly pushed back the enrollment deadline by a day, letting people sign up as late as Tuesday — rather than Monday — so anyone stuck in last-minute Web traffic could still get health insurance through the federal Obamacare website.
Last week, it announced that anyone whose plan was canceled will be able to buy a catastrophic health plan — a cheaper, scaled-back insurance policy — if they haven't been able to find another replacement. They'll also be exempt from the law's individual mandate, at least temporarily.
It has also extended the deadlines for people to enroll and persuade insurers to cut their new customers even more slack when they pay their first premium. America's Health Insurance Plans, the main health insurance trade group, has announced that as long as people pay their premium by Jan. 10, insurers will consider them covered as of Jan. 1.
The problem, though, is that all of the last-minute rule changes could create confusion and add to the mounting stress on insurers to process late enrollments quickly — so some could still fall through the cracks.
"The concern about the constantly changing deadlines is that it's going to make it more difficult to make sure people get enrolled in their coverage and that the coverage starts on Jan. 1," said AHIP spokesman Robert Zirkelbach. "There's a very short time period to do all the steps that are necessary to get people enrolled."
For the Obama administration, the constant changes are an acceptable risk to get as many people enrolled as possible. Insurers and insurance regulators had been worried that not everyone would be able to finish signing up in time, even with the repairs to the federal website.
The threat of a coverage gap for a significant number of people is a "big concern," said Ohio Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, who also serves as the state's insurance commissioner and is a vocal Obamacare critic.
Administration officials are less worried, noting that anyone who went to the trouble to buy individual health insurance — a difficult, time-consuming process — would be strongly motivated to replace it. But they're watching the situation closely, and they say they're trying to give people as many options as possible.
Many of the people with canceled policies could have replaced their coverage in other ways, like taking the replacements offered by their insurers or buying directly from other insurance companies. And Obama's decision to allow insurers to extend old policies will help consumers in some states, though not all states are cooperating.
( Also on POLITICO: PR nightmare on Pennsylvania Ave.)
But the likelihood is that at least some would have needed to use the Obamacare website. Jon Kingsdale, a consultant who ran the Massachusetts health insurance exchange that predated Obamacare, said the relatively low enrollment numbers before December suggest that a lot of people may have tried to sign up and failed.
Hey, I thought I signed up
With all of the problems with the federal HealthCare.gov website, which serves 36 states, there's a lingering possibility that people who thought they had signed up for coverage will find that their insurer has no record of them.
During the website's rockiest weeks in October and early November, the "back end" of the site — the part insurers deal with — was spitting out error-filled enrollment records, and in some cases none at all. That raised fears of a repeat of the experience when Medicare Part D was launched, when seniors showed up at pharmacies to have their prescriptions filled and found that there was no record that they had coverage.
The Obama administration says its website repairs have pretty much stopped those errors, but that still leaves nearly 15,000 consumers who didn't have an enrollment record generated at all.
( Also on POLITICO: PolI: Obama's biggest win a failure?)
The administration has been reaching out to consumers who have tried to sign up on HealthCare.gov, sending emails reminding them to pay their premium and to contact their insurer if they haven't received an insurance card — a preventive measure in case the insurer didn't get their records. But it won't be clear until January whether the administration and insurers have managed to find all of those customers.
There are also a lot of variations on that theme, Kingsdale said: "'I got my coverage, but my son didn't. I got coverage, but it's the wrong kind.' That's frankly not too unusual for the start of a big program like this."
Even if that happens, the problems aren't likely to be as urgent as they were with the Medicare Part D rollout, according to Alan Weil of the National Academy of State Health Policy. With that launch, huge numbers of low-income seniors were being switched from Medicaid to Medicare, and needed their prescriptions filled right away.
Molly Cooke, president of the American College of Physicians, said doctors will probably do what they usually do for patients who can't prove they have health insurance: Set priorities, take care of the urgent care needs first, but try to postpone care that isn't so time-critical.
For someone with high blood pressure who's not sure whether their Obamacare coverage is in effect, for example, most doctors would say the patient needs to get started on antihypertensive drugs right away and the insurance can be sorted out later. But there's "no real advantage" to getting other tests now, as opposed to waiting a month or two while their insurance status is worked out, Cooke said.

Green, blue, yellow, pink . . . All I really need is another color or two and I'd look similar to a rainbow in a blue sky.
It did the trick and even helped to push the clouds away, because by noon, it was sunny! Of course, that could just be Florida's fickle weather for you. ;)
Hey, I have a quick favor to ask of you... would you mind voting for my picture in a style contest, please, pretty please? All you have to do is go to April M Jewelry and like their facebook page. Then just like my photo on their page... It's currently the second one down. It's the picture of the outfit I posted yesterday with the lace vest. Thanks, girls!! Y'all are the best! =)

Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Technical Assistance (REETA)-Project
The German Government has committed € 5,02 Mio. for the REETA-project to support the institutional structure for the promotion of Renewable energies (RE) and Energy Efficiency (EE) in the Caribbean. The relevant actors are to be supported to satisfy the demands of a growing market for RE and EE in the Caribbean. The political counterpart of the project is the Energy Unit of the CARICOM Secretariat (CCS). The project is based on the achievements of the Caribbean renewable Energy Development Programme (CREDP), but will have a stronger focus on, capacity development, energy efficiency and energy consumer needs. Main objective of the planning workshop is to develop common ideas between all stakeholders and CARICOM member states and the RRETA project and to define activities to further promote the use of renewable energies and the implementation of energy efficiency measures in the Caribbean.
Worldwatch's Climate and Energy Director Alexander Ochs will be participating.

Extinct Oceandwellers: Trilobites on Exhibit in Grand Gallery main content.
by AMNH on
Trilobites appeared in ancient oceans well before life emerged on land. These marine arthropods existed for almost 300 million years, and over 20,000 species have been described so far.
In this video, Museum Curator Neil Landman and Field Associates Andy Secher and Martin Shugar discuss trilobites, their interesting features (including spines to protect them from predators), and how fossils are collected and prepared while highlighting a new Museum exhibit that features 15 rare and beautiful trilobite fossils from the Museum's collection.
Ancient trilobite fossils are now on display in the Museum's Grand Gallery, on the first floor near the 77th Street exit. The exhibit is made possible thanks to Martin Shugar, M.D., and Andy Secher.

24-year old Riley Swearingen thought nothing about his drunken joke on a police officer.
According to the criminal complaint, Mankato Department of Public Safety Police Sergeant Adam Gray was talking with a driver of a "drunk bus" in the city's entertainment district when he "felt two fingertips that were obvious to him as wet with saliva being pushed into his right and left ear canals, which caused pressure and discomfort in his ear canals."
The officer turned and saw a man later identified as Swearingen tell his friends, "I just gave the cop a wet Willie."
"Sergeant Gray immediately proceeded after the male who assaulted him," the complaint continues.
Once he was apprehended, Swearingen told Gray he was just joking around and was sorry, but Gray arrested him anyway.

The Frugal Foodie Recipes:

I'm not a food snob, but I am a gourmet at heart. From humble street food to white-tablecloth dining to home cooking, I love good food. What I'm not hung up on is pretension. I'm equally as content to savor an organic stone-fruit compote gateau as I am to gobble a peach cobbler. I appreciate a wedge of ripe triple-cream St. André as much as the next gourmet, but yes, I occasionally enjoy (gasp!) Cheez Whiz. I grew up eating my great-grandmother's hand-stretched strudel and my mom's homemade éclairs along with Space Food Sticks and Tang, so let's just say my palate has range. These recipes are about keeping both our comfort-food-seeking souls and our sophisticated palates happy on a pauper's pocketbook. Vintage wisdom combined with modern sophistication will help you strike a balance between the gourmet in your heart and the miser in your head.
Being frugal is about getting the most value from your food. It doesn't mean using absolutely the least-expensive ingredients. You could probably pare your food budget down to pennies if you lived on potatoes and ramen noodles—but would you call that living? Making smart choices about how, when and where you spend your money will fill your pantry and menus with delicious options. Splurge on a little balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil for salad dressings, and a few shallots and humble ingredients will come alive with flavor. Cooking at home is also a frugal alternative to going out. Of course you'll spend a lot less than if you'd gone to a restaurant, but cooking is its own pleasure and entertainment. After two hours in a movie theater, what have you got? Up to 100 fewer dollars in your pocket (movie tickets, popcorn, parking, babysitter, it all adds up) and the pleasure of sitting next to a screaming baby or amorous teens. Spend that same two hours at home and teach yourself a new culinary trick or try a new recipe. You'll have more money in your pocket and a delicious treat—it's a win-win! Once you start getting into the frugal mindset, it's hard to stop looking for ways to stretch your dollar and find value. I recently tossed a bunch of pine boughs (freshly collected after a windstorm—I call it "Seattle roadkill") in the back of my hatchback to serve as car air freshener. It lasted longer than one of those rearview-mirror danglers, smelled way better and it was free!
I've been fortunate to work in some of the best kitchens in the world: Chez Panisse and Masa's, and as a cook and recipe tester for Chuck Williams at Williams-Sonoma. With each experience, I saw examples of "foodie frugality" in action. Alice Waters elevated humble vegetables to haute heights by taking celery root, rhubarb, potatoes, and the like, and preparing them with attention and care. Suddenly, a yam could reveal flavors of great delicacy. Fennel, often considered a weed, could touch the palate with striking originality. She and many other great kitchen queens and kings now have their own veggie gardens, as well as a cadre of micro farms to supply them with the very best and freshest produce. You don't have to have a deep green thumb to grow a few of your own ingredients. It's surprisingly easy and soul-satisfying to assemble a dish using food you've grown yourself. A few hours of work and just a little bit of planning can save money, provide big flavor and bring immense amounts of joy to your table. Start a micro garden in your front yard and you can grab the makings for a mixed green salad and dig up a few purple potatoes as you walk in the door from work. Even if you replace just a few restaurant meals with homemade, make one loaf of bread or one batch of homemade oatmeal a week, or grow one or two veggies and herbs, you're a Frugal Foodie. You'll eat better, save money and have more fun in the kitchen than ever. I hope you'll share your own tips and ideas or photos of recipes you've made from this article. Let's create a Frugal Foodie community, and all feast from the table.
Lara Starr and Lynette Shirk's book, The Frugal Foodie Cookbook: Waste-Not Recipes for the Wise Cook (Viva Editions), was released in September 2009.

The logo for the next IUCN World Conservation Congress has been officially unveiled. The Congress, to be held in Barcelona from 5-14 October 2008, will celebrate diversity and how natural diversity underpins social, cultural and economic diversity.
Taking inspiration from Gaudí, one of Spain and Catalonia's most celebrated and iconic artists - and a leading proponent in his day of sustainability and recycling – the logo shows that many small pieces can, together, make something beautiful.
Forming a B for Barcelona, biodiversity and beauty, the logo is a vibrant metaphor for the importance of diversity in our world.
Designed by leading Barcelona agency Vinizius, part of the Young and Rubicam group, the logo also strongly hints at the combined power of many individual actions, from people or organizations, which together can make a big difference to how we live and work on this planet. The logo also highlights how IUCN, as a union of many small parts, is making a big difference to the world.
Jointly hosted by the governments of Spain and Catalonia, the Congress in Barcelona will welcome more than 8,000 attendees to share, debate, negotiate and commit to putting diversity and sustainability at the heart of decision-making around the world.

Pop-Culture Characters Who Would Make Perfect Couples
When you're as obsessed with pop culture as we are, you can't help wondering what would happen if some of your favorite characters could break out of the confines of their individual universes and get to connect. Not that this doesn't occasionally happen, but it's not often enough to stop us predicting things like which TV characters would be friends in real life (or literary characters, for that matter). Our latest musing along these lines took us into more romantic territory, as we started to imagine which far-flung pop-culture characters were practically made for each other. In fact, some of them were so obvious, we're amazed we didn't make the (love) connection before. Join us as we play matchmaker for everyone from Harry Potter to Sookie Stackhouse, and then let us know what you think the chances are for these star-crossed couples in the comments.
(Note: We realize that some of these characters ended up married or in relationships with other people, so for the sake of this discussion, we're focusing on their single days.)
Harry Potter and Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Sure, they inhabit vastly different worlds, but Harry Potter and Sabrina Spellman also have a whole lot in common. Both grew up ignorant of their magical powers — Harry discovered his at 11, Sabrina at 16 — both start out with a whole lot to learn, and both have responsibilities thrust on them that they'd rather deny at first. Frankly, we think Sabrina could do Harry a whole lot of good by exposing him to the sillier side of the wizarding world — and we're also pretty certain she could become quite a bad-ass in Harry's realm, if it came down to it.
