Review: A case could be made for Patti Smith, "the waif-like poetess," WR "as a punk rock progenitor based on her debut album." AMG She "and her crack band blazed a new trail in this brazen hybrid of literary smarts and feral rock." UT "The simple, crudely played rock & roll, featuring Lenny Kaye's rudimentary guitar work, the anarchic spirit of Smith's vocals, and the emotional and imaginative nature of her lyrics – all prefigure the coming movement as it evolved on both sides of the Atlantic." AMG "Like a lot of the proto-punk artists, Smith was romanticizing rock 'n roll's past" EK while also "breaking new ground…the hallmark of great artists." JM
Smith's vocals are "an acquired taste, and the music is at times a jarring mix of '60s Nuggetry (thank you Lenny Kaye) and free-form avant-garde" EK fused with "classical verse, feminism, [and] punk." TL "Art, bohemia, poetry, rock 'n' roll, reggae, sex, and salvation crash and burn together." VB There are "a couple of rather esoteric nine-minute readings…and Patti's somewhat casual relationship with phonics can make for a challenging listen if you don't have a lyric sheet right handy." EK Despite that, she demonstrates an "ability to construct an album that simultaneously looks forward and backward;" JM she also deserves "props for her flair for the theatrical." JM In addition, John Cale (formerly of the Velvet Underground), deservies recognition for his production which "respected Smith's primitivism in a way that later producers did not." AMG
The album's most important contribution may have been how she was "interested in bringing together high art and low three-chord rock & roll." AZ While she "emerged from the same punk scene as the Ramones, [this is] a far cry from [their] three-chord jokiness." RV "The melodies carry the influence of Van Morrison, Wilson Pickett and The Doors." RV "The loose, improvisatory song structures worked with her free verse to create something like a new spoken word/musical art form: Horses was a hybrid, the sound of a post-Beat poet, as she put it, 'dancing around to the simple rock & roll song.'" AMG Her "vision of extremist poetry and rock music" BL makes the album "sound like it belongs on a syllabus for a class few people would willingly take." TL
"Smith's background as a rock critic and poet is equally in evidence." NRR "This seems to be the ultimate insider's album." EK It is "a rock critic's dream, a poet as steeped in '60s garage rock as she is in French Symbolism." AMG This is "Rimbaud with punk guitars." BL
"Despite her obvious mastery of rock 'n roll," JM Smith was "some what of an anomaly." JM "It's a sad fact that pop music has been, and in many ways continues to be, a boys' club." EK However, with Horses, "a woman had finally taken the reins of the rock chariot" JM showing "she could beat the boys at her own game." JM Her boyfriend, Robert Mapplethorpe, "took the sleeve photo, which showed Smith a creature beyond gender, the music's perfect pictorial analogue." WR "Her artistry, honesty and female empowerment paved the way for future femme rockers Liz Phair, Alanis Morrissette and PJ Harvey." RV
"The album's most memorable words are its first: 'Jesus died for somebody's sins, but not mine.'" TL She and her band "swagger through a complete reinvention of Van Morrison's Gloria." TL "This song sets the tone of an alienated woman striving for catharsis with naked lyrics and vigorous guitar riffs." RV "You realize you are in the presence of a master, someone who can take the poetic pretensions of the Lizard King and do them up right. Someone with the same blend of lasciviousness and aloofness as Jagger in his prime." EK It makes for "one of the greatest side one/track ones of all time." EK
She reimagines songs like that and Land of a Thousand Dances by adding her own "provocative and unflinching lyrics," NRR resulting in something which feels "far more romantic and revolutionary than any mere poetry." TL It "takes a skilled musician to turn the 'jock rock' mainstay…into a three-part suite comparable to The Doors' 'The End.'" RV
"Smith exposes her soul like no other rocker when she intones, on Break It Up, 'I ripped my skin open and then I broke through.'" RV The title track I"was an eight minute stream-of-consciousness ending in sonic orgasm." WR While "some of Smith's songwriting gets buried in its stylistic affectations (there's a great song under Redondo Beach's fake reggae)," AZ this is still "a rock record of overwhelming power" TL built on "Smith's persona of volume, cunning and exile, and it comes through distinctly." AZ "Clearly a landmark." BL

Well, sure it would be nice, if linux would support almost any device, which is out there. I am using linux for over 10 years now, and I am used to check in advance which hardware is supported. Unfortunately there is so many hardware out there, that's - well - just crap. And even in the case it is not, you wonder why you get a fully packed CD or DVD to install windows drivers + additional sofware of 100+ MB to get it working.... For example, I have a small webcam, which I can use with v4l framework and a driver of 22 kB. Using Logitech'ss driver package (a 30 MB download) it uses around 60 MB and won't fully work, if I remove certain "unnecessary" parts. I also encountered a few times the problem, that a specific hardware had already been replaced after 2 or 3 months by a new one ... same package design, same look ... but completely reworked, completely new drivers. Just because many manufacurers "just" by their hardware from someone other ... recognize it's not what they hoped / paid for ... get another manufacturer ... and keep the valuable marketing efforts by using the same name and design. So, yes, it is desirable to support as much hardware as one can, but it sometimes is just impossible or wasted time, because devices may disappear as fast as they went to market. >>Why would a device be obsolete? Why would no one still be using it? > > > For example, in version 2.6.17, I was amazed by the fact that > there's support for an old and completely obsolete adlib FM card: > > http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=cf40a310a7aaf1944eea3e01e9c120b31850c3b6 > > And I ask: who in this world will be using such an old card? > It's worth the effort? So you think, there may not be users out there with such adlib cards? Because the ISA bus is obsolete, not found anymore on modern PCs? Well, there are so much kinds of hardware, that are no longer to be found, RS232 serial ports, parallel printer ports, even agp ports etc. But believe me, it's sometimes a real pain to use usb adapters, where you have used a simple RS232 in the past. Or there have been and are great ISA measuring boards (also with regard to programming), where you today really waste a lot of time with problems related to pci / usb, need for a GUI etc. Another reason is "hardware re-use". Just recently I built a small system for my home office from old PC/104 hardware (which uses an ISA bus btw). Just a cpu board, a network card, a 2-slot pcmcia card + modem / isdn card and a notebook harddisk. The main reason for this were just: (a) hardware already available / no additional costs, (b) using standard x86 debian and (c) production system consumes ~7 - 10 W power (depending on hd and modem activity). Sure, you can't what tv or play movies on such a system ;-) > Now, we have the cx88 chips, successor of the bt87x chips... > and it isn't supported completely yet. When it's finally supported, > maybe it will be obsolete as an adlib fm card is today. So there's a > time limit to develop a driver. If you take too long, it's better to > dedicate on another kind of hardware... Well, please bear in mind that linux always had and has a tradition to be used by people who don't belong to the group of the so-called "early adopter's" ... for various reasons (re-use of "old" hardware, lack of money as a student etc.). So maybe not all work is wasted. >>Why? What's the rush? Is there a race on? > > I think there's a race between Linux and Windows. If you don't > support the hardware people are using, they will go back to Windows... > or give up on Linux (not me of course, I use Linux for about 10 years > and I can live with the lack of support on some hardware, but most of > users don't). If it isn't a problem, ok, but I think that Linux will > lose many users on the multimedia front. On the server part I think, Linux has found it's way and is recognized as an OS commercially. Sure, on the desktop part there may be a kind of "race". Most problems resulted in the past from installers, that demanded to much "input" from the people (note: Windows comes pre-installed ;) That's been solved I think and I know quite a lot of (now) linux users who apreciate this (and who surrendered due to install / configuration problems in the past). Windows to some extend must be loved by many hardware manufacturers. Take Vista for example ... almost anyone I know who has to use it for some reasons, had to upgrade some hardware. But for what (real) improvement? Take way the new fancy look and all those silly things, there's not much to justify the investment - just my personal opinion. Did you ever have been so "kind" to help your relatives, friends, neighbours, ... to re-install windows. What a "pleasure"!). So if someone would build and sell pre-installed desktop linux systems on a large scale, they would use hardware that is supported or convince the manufacturer to release specs/docs or develop a driver. This already happened for the server use of linux (e.g. raid controllers). People ... well "users" are some crazy folks. The "mainstream" user really is receptive to marketing. Users don't (always) prefer a good (the best) solution. So the world used VHS for home recording a very long time (and still, actually to only be beaten by whole new digital standards). In the end it was marketing and money that made the race for VHS then. > Well, anyway I don't want to start a flamewar. I just want to > express my opinion. I respect your opinion, but I really insist on the > point that there's some parts of Linux where the development is too > slow. I know you won't agree with me, but it's ok. As a user, well, I can really agree to some point with you ;) But comparing linux drivers (often re-engineered without docs from the manufacturers) to many windows drivers (which should not have much problems with singning NDAs etc. - and you only built devices upon hw/ic's you have specs for!) the quality of linux is amazing!

Nokia continues to push out updates for apps in its Windows Phone OEM collection, this time it's Nokia Transport / Transit's turn. The Windows Phone 7 app enables users to check out local public transport for timetables, status updates, route finding and more. It's a requirement to have in any traveller's arsenal of apps when hitting up places that have yet to be explored.
We're not entirely sure what's included in this latest update (which takes the app to version 3.3.4) as no changelog is available - we can't exactly class ourselves as dedicated users either. It's not a huge bump so we'd expect fixes and optimisations to be featured. Should you happen to notice anything we may have overlooked, be sure to add your thoughts in the comments.
You can download Nokia Transit from the Windows Phone Store, using a Lumia handset with access to the Nokia Collection. For those of us running Windows Phone 8, hold tight as we bet an update is on its way.

eMarketer Event: Toronto Breakfast
Friday February 15, 2013 – Toronto
eMarketer's Noah Elkin will be delivering a presentation titled "Key Trends for 2013."
About eMarketer's Toronto Breakfast
Join us Friday, February 15, 2013 at the Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel in Toronto for a breakfast presentation by eMarketer's Noah Elkin. To help you make sense of today's most complex and rapidly evolving issues, Noah will discuss some of the most important digital marketing, media and commerce trends for 2013.
Marketers used to speak in terms of three screens: TV, PC and mobile. Today, with the inclusion of tablets, you have at least four to consider, each presenting its own use case. But one thing is certain: As smart devices bridge the gap between offline and digital experiences, yesterday's desktop-centered marketing approach seems increasingly outmoded. Noah will address what this means for your marketing efforts in 2013 and beyond.
Today's multiscreen, multitasking environment also brings changes to your customers'' path to purchase. What was formerly a linear marketing funnel now comprises a range of activities occurring along parallel and intersecting paths. Mr. Elkin will explore the implications this shift raises, including the importance of serving up relevant content to match new touchpoints and the value you can derive from mining the disparate data generated by the growing number of micro-transactions that occur along this revamped path to purchase. Put simply, "Big Data" holds one of the keys to big dollars.
Key Questions:
- In an age of increasing media fragmentation, which screens can marketers use to most effectively connect with their audiences?
- How is the mobile-first imperative reshaping the marketing funnel?
- What factors are pushing marketers to become content creators?
- How can "Big Data" help marketers respond to cross-platform fragmentation?
eMarketer events are by invite only. To attend an eMarketer event, contact your account manager directly or email Roger Marin

Weekly Wire: the Global Forum
These are some of the views and reports relevant to our readers that caught our attention this week.
NDI tech
Technology for Peace: Strengthening Democracy
"ICT in the service of "peace" often refers to a broad range of activities encompassing conflict prevention and management, peace operations, humanitarian relief and disaster assistance, and post-conflict peace building and reconstruction.
For example, the ICT4Peace Foundation is committed to effective communication in "crisis management, humanitarian aid and peace building". A recent USIP collaboration, Blogs & Bullets examines how new media can change the politics of unrest, revolution, violence, and civil war. Their work emphasizes five levels of analysis: individual transformation, intergroup relations, collective action, regime policies, and external attention."

The China Daily reported Tuesday the call for China to match its growing global influence with new military hardware after Beijing in September commissioned its first carrier, the Liaoning, which was purchased from Ukraine. The launch of the carrier was viewed as a symbolic milestone for the growing military power of China at a time of regional anxiety over Beijing's rise. It also sparked speculation on when China would domestically construct its own carriers. Hu Wenming, chairman of China State Shipbuilding Corp (CSSC), said his company was ready to build "seagoing airbases", the China Daily reported. "We must enhance our independent weapons and equipment research and production capacity to match the country's clout, and independently build our own aircraft carriers," he told the state-run newspaper on the sidelines of a Communist Party congress which ended last week. Against a backdrop of simmering territorial disputes with its neighbours, outgoing President Hu Jintao indicated in his opening address at the congress that China would continue to assert its disputed claims as it becomes a "maritime power". CSSC outfitted the Liaoning at the northeastern seaport of Dalian after it was purchased nearly a decade ago. The 300-metre (990-foot) carrier is now preparing for its first take-offs and landings, state press reports said recently. Taiwan's intelligence chief said earlier this year that China had already decided to build two aircraft carriers. However despite rumours that work has already begun, there is no evidence of construction of a domestically-built carrier. After last week's congress, the party introduced new leader, Vice President Xi Jinping, who will succeed Hu as president in March. © 1994-2012 Agence France-Presse Share Save Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Read More: china south china sea territorial row

The Low–Down on Low–Profile Sound
Slightly over 8 inches tall, the OS³–Sat employs a 1–inch pure titanium hybrid tweeter and a 4.5–inch polypropylene titanium deposit hybrid woofer with an aluminum phase plug and our patented Ribbed Elliptical Surround technology, which creates greater output and fidelity.
Our Omnipolar® approach to sound, however, is what makes this home audio speaker, as well as other Mirage® products truly unique. The OS³–Sat has a patented Omniguide module, involving two deflectors. While one deflector rests on top of the speaker's tweeter, the tweeter itself is housed in a deflector, suspended over the midrange or woofer. These combined elements distribute sound in a perfect 360º soundstage that evenly permeates the listening environment.
As with all speakers that feature the Omniguide, the OS³–Sat should be inverted with the grille facing downward when it's mounted above 6 feet. This approach guarantees the same tonal balance and dispersion characteristics, regardless of how your speakers are mounted.
The OS³–Sat speaker is anything but traditional. It's a miniature marvel that has what it takes to bring powerful music and movie performances into your living room without taking up valuable floor space, or intruding upon your perfectly placed décor.
Using only the finest materials and exclusive Omnipolar® technology, the OS³–Sat delivers 360º of immersive audio entertainment. Because this speaker offers a natural balance of direct and reflected sound, you can experience the same accurate listening from anywhere in your room.
You'll also find that the OS³–Sat is the most versatile speaker in the third–generation Omnisat® Series. It works as a main, center channel or surround speaker, so you can pair it with our other Omnisat products; it also makes a great home theater system on its own.
With its timeless high–gloss black or white finish, the elegant OS³–Sat enhances any room. Plus, this speaker fits almost anywhere. It sits nicely on a table or shelf, but it also comes with a mounting bracket, so you can position it on the wall or attach it to a matching Omnisat stand, sold separately. High quality five–way binding posts ensure distortion–free connections with the other components in your home theater system.

I am obsessed with Armani at the moment (although I think I've reached a point where there's nothing else I really want on the counter for now. Do you get to that point too with some brands?)
I did see this gorgeous brush set – $100 on the Armani USA site.
It includes the mini blender brush, mini concealer brush, mini blush brush, mini eye shader brush, mini contour brush.
Price on my counter? £80.
My exchange rate calculator tells me it should be more like (even with the £ crappy exchange rate these days) £60.76 (to be exact).
Talk about mark up! No I don't think I will
be forcing someone to buy this now. I've noticed that Armani's USA prices are a*little* bit too close to UK prices. There is something called an exchange rate, cha know!
What continental price mark ups get on your nerves?

Tim McGraw Spins His Wheels, Gets Rowdy in New 'Truck Yeah' Video
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand the video for Tim McGraw's summery hit song 'Truck Yeah.' One look at the clip's opening shot and it's clear that just like the song, this video is all about country boys and girls who love cruising in a jacked-up truck.
We didn't know it was possible to make a big old truck look sexy, but McGraw managed to make it happen. The 'Truck Yeah' video is filled with shots of buff men (including the singer himself) climbing in their suped-up rides, spinning their wheels and just having a little fun together. After seeing this video, even city folk will consider trading in their four door sedans for a country style rig.
Of course, the clip isn't all about boys playing with their trucks. Near the end of the video, a gorgeous brunette proves that girls know how to drive big rigs, too.
"The theme of this song is pretty straight forward… It's for guys and girls who love jacked up trucks," McGraw explains in a statement. "It's a culture, and you don't have to be from the sticks and only listen to country music to want drive a truck…that's why I love the reference to Lil Wayne in the lyrics."
He adds, "It's been a great song for the summer and a big moment in our set. I think the video definitely captures the energy of the song. We had a blast making it!"
'Truck Yeah' is McGraw's first single release since switching over to Big Machine Records. So far, the new label is working out for the legendary country star. The tune debuted at No. 22 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, making it the singer's highest solo chart debut ever.

Item # GBW3210Item # GBW3210
Ride all year.
When it comes to year-round, outer-layer protection from the elements,
no Gore Bike Wear garment is more celebrated than the Xenon 2.0 AS
Jacket. The latest edition of the award winning design is Gore's
lightest, packable road jacket. The Xenon 2.0 AS uses patented materials
and an ergonomically shaped fit to provide breathable protection wind,
snow, and rain. If you demand the best from your gear, it doesn't get
much better than this.
Gore Bike Wear's Xenon 2.0 AS Jacket features a multi-panel
construction made from Gore's patented WindStopper Active fabric. As its
name suggests, WindStopper Active is windproof, but it's also
water-resistant, and highly breathable. The lack of penetrating elements
and partial mesh lining provide total insulation for the torso, which
is further enhanced by the Xenon's innovative collar and bottom hem.
Working in tandem, the ergonomically designed snap-insert collar
and partially-elastic gripper hem keep the jacket closer to the body, and
thus no air gets in while excessive heat and moisture are easily
evacuated to the outer-surface. For extra ventilation, the jacket offers
a full-length, semi-locking zipper and sleeves that are designed to
roll-up. The Xenon 2.0 AS also features an elongated back for wheel spray
protection on wet roads, and a reflective treatment on the front, rear,
and sides of the jacket for safer night riding.
The Gore Bike Wear Xenon 2.0 AS Jacket is available in sizes from
Small to XX-Large, and in the colors Black, Red/black, and White/black.
- Gore WindStopper Active shell
- Partial mesh lining
- Ergonomically shaped collar
- Elastic cuffs, partially elastic hem
- Zippered mesh pocket at rear
- Reflective details throughout

Emaciated Pro Riders Only Need Apply
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
This is designed for 5% body fat types - racer bods - I won't even bother upsizing. Nice material and good looking design otherwise.
A favorite jacket
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
As others have noted, this is a race fit. It's a bit uncomfortable lounging with a latte, but on the bike it's nearly flawless. It's my go-to slim fit jacket for temps from 40-60. Typically wear it with bibs and a base later, but a snug jersey fits underneath as well.
Gore Xenon AS
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: Medium
This light windproof shell was first used on a 45 degree windy morning ride ; i wore a baselayer , thermo jersey and this w/s shell and it kept me warm and windfree . It was easily taken off and stored into my back jersey pocket once it warmed up . The fit is race fit which is how these are supposed to be worn .
I absolutely love Gore Bike Wear apparel as they have phenominal products.
Weird fit
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: large
Love this jacket, but unfortunately had to return. I'm 5 ft, 8 in, 148 lbs. Good build. Ordered large, as reviews everywhere said runs small. Arms way too long, chest/stomach way too tight. Not sure who would fit into this, but they certainly need to work on their upper body ;-)
Runs Super Small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: Runs small
- Size Bought: Medium
Buy at least 2 size up. The fabric looks nice, too bad I wasn't able to fit in.

Gore Bike Wear Xenon 2.0 AS Jacket
Runs very, very, very small
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
Seriously, I wear a medium in just about everything. The size guide confirmed I should order a medium. I had to double check to make sure I didn't order a women's jacket. I would have been better off with an XL, although the sleeves would have been super long. Gore made this jacket for someone with the build of a pencil.
It looks nice though.
It race fit, just like the rest of the Xenon line. If you are slim, it will fit true to size. I wear medium in race fit jerseys of multiple brands and this jacket in Medium fits me perfectly. I'm 5'11", 150 lbs.
XENON 2.0 WINDSTOPPER? AS Jacket by GBW
Iconic: The first XENON piece collected many awards and its latest edition is again a top performer. Very lightweight, packable wind chill protection with an ergonomic fit.
"After Effects" of rolling it up!
Gore Xenon AS jacket. You'll look like "Crumple Stilskin (or however you spell that!) after having this jacket rolled up...if that really matters.
Some of the wrinkles will 'fall' out after hanging up for awhile...still better to have, than to have not, when the weather changes (*not for rainy, or winter rides, though). And it's so light weight, you can always take it along.
Xenon Jacket inside Xenon Jersey pocket
For you non-type 'A' personalities, you can get this jacket rolled even tighter to fit even better in the pocket (or, as I do, tuck it in the outside pouch of your hydration pack...so much easier!).
Xenon Windstopper Jacket
Showing the rather flimsy back zip pocket...it works, but I wouldn't recommend putting keys or anything with a sharp/pointy edge (etc.) in it, as the mesh is extremely thin and liable to snag & tear.
You can see the partial mesh lining that helps the jacket slip on/off easier, and helps prevent the jacket from becoming clammy and, or, a sauna. It also goes part way down the arms, too.

Is there any difference between this jacket...
Is there any difference between this jacket and the other Xenon 2.0 AS on realcyclist (Item #GBW3125) ?
Looks identical in the photos, except the black.
Same jacket.
You can now go to competitivecyclist.com for more pics/views.
I just got this jacket in the ladies, pretty nice; but keep in mind, it's only a windbreaker. The white/blk version + the coordinating jersey and shorts are very comfortable and wick perfectly. The only thing I am leary about is the so-called 'security' back zip pocket...the interior is just a very fine mesh, sort of like a fine hair net only!
As another reviewer had said on the ladies site, these are just as good as Assos, and a close match to Giordana; I have these brands, too and love them, but the Xenon line up is really quite good (though the chamois could be a little more refined with a better contour, for the ladies anyway)...get it on sale!
Excellent - good from 55-40 degrees
This is my 4th piece in the Xenon line. I also have the bibs, jersey and SO jacket/jersey. Fit it designed for slim bodies. I wear a medium. I'm 5'11, w/ 40" chest. The jacket is comfortable between 45-55 degree range even at base training pace. I've worn a short sleeve jersey or a long sleeve base layer only. I would give it 5 stars except for only having one rear zippered pocket. It is big enough for cell phone and keys but not a lot extra. Sometimes I ride with two pairs of gloves - heavier pair to warm up and then switch to lighter pair. I would not be able to stash the second pair of gloves in the one pocket - it's not a problem if wearing a jersey underneath but there are no pockets on my base layer. This piece is a good bridge for when it is not cold enough for the Xenon SO Jacket but a little more is needed than just a vest.
Can you comment on the water resistance? Will it keep you dry in a long ride in the rain?
For a truly rainproof jacket, go for Gore's ALP-X 2.0 (or the new 3.0 on Gores' site). Rain-resistance is just that...resistance is futile! This is basically a windbreaker for summer (depending on what part of the country you live in, of course).
I also gave this jacket 4 starts because of the "hair net" type back "pocket". Not very durable, or sizable.
It is sufficiently water resistant for a light rain but I have not tested it during a heavy rain. Also, as noted by another reviewer, this is not the most durable jacket. It is good for road use but on a MTB ride I snagged a tree branch and it ripped a hole on a sleeve. I was able to stitch it back together and it seems to have remained water resistant and wind-proof in that area. This is still a great piece and I would buy another. I used to live in flat-lands but am now in the mountains. This jacket is excellent for mountainous terrain as it will easily pack in a jersey pocket for extended climbs, then you can put it back on and be protected from winds on descents.

States may opt out of Medicaid expansion
Court ruling made refusal local decision
The Supreme Court's ruling that states cannot be penalized if they refuse to expand Medicaid under the federal health care overhaul has left an opening for legislators who have assailed the health care act as a crippling budget-buster.
Legislators in many states, from tiny New Hampshire to Texas, say they are inclined to resist the expansion of Medicaid that is intended to provide coverage for 17 million uninsured people. Before the high court's decision on Thursday, states that did not comply had been threatened with the loss of all federal Medicaid funds, which have covered an average of 57 percent of the cost of the program.
"I think there's a very good chance that the state will not adopt an expansion," said Representative William O'Brien, a Republican who is speaker of the House in New Hampshire. "We're just not going to participate in a program that involves potentially wrecking state government finances throughout the country."
In Maine, Governor Paul LePage also is weighing whether to boycott the Medicaid expansion, which is aimed at people under age 65 whose income is less than 133 percent of the federal poverty level. For a family of three, that threshold is $25,390.
"We're still analyzing exactly what this will mean for Maine," said Evan Beal, a spokesman for LePage, a Republican and Tea Party favorite who is a fierce critic of the health care act. "He wants to make sure we fully understand."
After the ruling on Thursday, LePage said the decision means "the federal government can force you to do or buy anything, as long as they call it a 'tax.' "
Maine was among the 26 states that sued the federal government over the health care law, in large part because of the costs of the Medicaid expansion.
The decision on Medicaid expansion was part of the court's ruling that upheld the constitutionality of the overall law. Regarding Medicaid, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote that the law's penalty for not joining the expansion "is economic dragooning that leaves the states with no real option but to acquiesce in the Medicaid expansion."
States do not face a deadline for opting out of the expanded Medicaid program because regulators had not anticipated the court would rule as it did, said Matt Salo, executive director of the National Association of Medicaid Directors.
"This was not on our radar screen," Salo said.
New questions are swirling, he said, about whether states can delay participation until after 2014, whether states can join in 2014 and drop out later, and whether partial expansion is allowed. "We just don't know," Salo said.
The authors of the health care act tried to mitigate the expanded program's financial burdens by providing that the federal government would cover 100 percent of the added cost for the first three years after implementation in 2014.
For the three years after that, state governments would pay up to 5, 6, and 7 percent of the bill. After that time, the states would pick up 10 percent of the added costs.
Despite this promise of assistance, many states, buffeted by plummeting tax revenues and massive public layoffs, are wary of any added financial burdens.
Hospitals, the insurance industry, and health care advocates are expected to pressure states to join the program, but analysts are predicting that some will not participate, at least initially.
"The pressure will certainly come from the Democrats, and also from patient-advocacy groups and from the health and medical community, because it is taking money out of the pockets of health professionals, physicians, and health centers," said Dr. Joseph Restuccia, a professor of health care at the Boston University School of Management.
"Some, for ideological reasons, will not cooperate. But the real question is whether they can sustain that with the political backlash that will occur," Restuccia said.
At this time, Republican lawmakers in Mississippi, Nebraska, and Missouri are opposing the expansion, and officials in presidential election battleground states such as Florida, Ohio, Colorado, and Pennsylvania have not committed to participating.
In Ohio, Republican Governor John Kasich said that "the administration will carefully analyze the decision to determine the appropriate next steps. We are very concerned that a sudden, dramatic increase in Medicaid spending could threaten Ohio's ability to pursue needed reforms in other areas, such as education."
Figures provided by the governor's office estimated that 440,500 new people would be added to Medicaid at an additional cost to the state of $457 million over five years.
"Until we figure out how to cover these new costs to Ohio taxpayers, we don't have the luxury of considering whether to expand Medicaid," said Robert Nichols, a spokesman for Kasich.
The benefits and burdens of the Medicaid expansion are particularly great in states with the greatest number of low-income uninsured residents.
In Texas, the expansion would add 1.2 million people to Medicaid in the first year and cost the state $27 billion over 10 years, said Stephanie Goodman, spokeswoman for the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
In Indiana, Republican Governor Mitch Daniels has decided to defer a decision about the Medicaid program to the next governor and Legislature. Expanding the program in Indiana, he said, would add 500,000 people to the rolls and cost the state $2 billion over 10 years.
Although states face a financial burden if they do participate in the program, low-income residents face living without insurance if the states do not. In those states that opt out, residents could be uninsured if their income falls below 100 percent of the federal poverty level but is greater than the state's threshold for Medicaid benefits, Salo said. In New Hampshire, that bar is 66 percent of the federal poverty standard.
For people whose income falls between 100 and 133 of the federal poverty figure, Salo said, subsidies under the health care act should be available to buy insurance on new exchanges in each state.
Restuccia said he foresees a gradually forming consensus in state capitals that Medicaid expansion is acceptable.
Initially, he said, "some states that have strong Republican governors and legislatures are not going to cooperate." But by 2019, Restuccia predicted, "we will see every state in the country having Medicaid expansion."
The benefits will begin to be seen as all stakeholders work to control costs, just as they are in Massachusetts, he said.
"It's hard to do this kind of work, but if one has the motivation and persists with it, it has a tremendously positive effect both on costs and quality," Restuccia said.

Simon Moore
Associate Professor, Information Design and Corporate Communication
What do you teach?
I teach courses in public relations theory, practice and writing, sports public relations, international corporate communication and crisis management.
Why do you like teaching at Bentley?
I love helping students develop the tools they need to create interesting work. PR depends on creative thinking and teamwork that targets the audiences who need to hear it, and encourages them to join the conversation. No two days are the same in PR. I like exposing students to that environment and helping them think creatively.
What is your teaching style?
I like variety. We work on PR projects for many different types of businesses — large and small, traditional and unusual. I also help students learn about how innovations like social media are revolutionizing PR, opening creative opportunities and changing the way our target audiences behave.
What advice would you offer a new Bentley student?
It's so important to do what interests you — life is too short to do otherwise. If you're interested in information design, web design, or PR, it's helpful to gain an understanding of topics like psychology, sociology, media studies, history and global studies. Communications fields need people who can communicate well verbally, write effectively, and know how to manage audiences' perceptions on both the locally and globally.

Jenna Louise Coleman Doctor Who Companion name revealed?
The full name of the companion (portrayed by Jenna Louise Coleman) is...
Clara Oswin.
The Character herself is a feisty and flirty computer expert - and is said to be more than a match for The Doctor.
We have seen filming of Clara in Victorian clothing in more than 1 episode, both featuring Madame Vastra and Jenny.
Edit: As much as I, Skaro, don't like the Daily Mirror...I just feel like this is true. - I know PCJ Disagrees.

WASHINGTON – Chinese government officials announced they have approved permanent safety certificates for several grains and two cotton products derived from plants improved through biotechnology.
Those certificates include approval for Roundup Ready soybeans, two corn products and the cotton products. The latter are believed to be for Roundup Ready and Liberty Link corn and Roundup Ready and Bollgard cotton.
"The United States welcomes the announcement today that China's Ministry of Agriculture has completed its biotechnology regulatory review of Roundup Ready soybeans and two corn and two cotton products," Agriculture Secretary Ann Veneman and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick said in a joint statement.
"These biotech crop approvals are a significant development that should assure continued U.S. access to this important market."
A series of temporary approvals of safety certificates had been creating uncertainty for U.S. firms which shipped nearly $2.9 billion of soybeans to China in 2003. U.S. cotton sales to China have also risen significantly, amounting to almost $740 million in 2003 compared to $141 million the previous year.
"China's decision to approve permanent safety certificates for several biotechnology crops is another positive step for trade between our two countries and demonstrates the Chinese government's commitment to the WTO principle of using sound science to determine such issues," said the statement.
"We will continue to engage China on outstanding biotechnology issues to ensure that both American and Chinese farmers have access to this technology to increase agricultural productivity and to provide safe and wholesome products to consumers."
The decision comes after extensive testing by Chinese scientists who confirmed the safety of these crops, which has long been realized in the United States, according to the statement.
"The successful outcome of this issue resulted from close cooperation between the United States and China," it said.
Previously, China required traders to obtain temporary safety certificates, usually good for only a few months, if they wished to import biotech grains. China is expected to finalize the safety approvals for other biotechnology products in the near future.

You're joking, right? (This is itself a joke.) It might be ironically humorous to see whether this proposed product fails due to the very thing MS counts on to maintain Windows market share on the desktop segment - user familiarity. I mentioned above that until fairly recently, the GNU Fortran was not an option for me. The only reason that I tried using gfortran once it became able to support Cray pointers was that I was too broke to buy an upgrade license to the PGI compilers and was trying to eek a little speed out of my program so I started looking again at the freely available compilers. If PGI had a lower upgrade cost, I would have likely shelled out the cash and stayed with them, as I am not a developer and had already learned what I needed to learn to compile my code with the PGI compiler. At this point in the game, it seems that existing clusters are being dominated by Linux. MS seems to carry the desktop market by "The other choices aren't Windows - you'll need lots of training cost to learn the not-Windows OS." Now it is trying to enter the cluster market, where it is facing two strikes out of the box - not free and not Linux (that most cluster admins are experienced with and will have a large training cost to learn the Windows cluster OS). > > -- > Toon Moene - e-mail: toon at moene.indiv.nluug.nl - phone: +31 346 214290 > Saturnushof 14, 3738 XG Maartensdijk, The Netherlands > At home: http://moene.indiv.nluug.nl/~toon/ > Progress of GNU Fortran: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-01/msg00009.html

Urethane Holds up better.
Down side is it's harder to get off to refinish 10 years later.
The fries are cold so we gave you extra.
Urethane. It lasts far longer and doesn't have to be redone every year like Varnish. Varnish turns yellow over time, Urethane doesn't. It takes a lot of skill and patience to do a good varnish job without runs. Urethane goes on easier and is less likely to run and it dries faster. Frankly I think Urethane looks better.

A cash-strapped youth group in Bristol has sold a Banksy artwork to a private collector for 403,000 British pounds ($668,000) — securing the future of the club.
The work, "Mobile Lovers," shows a couple embracing while checking their mobile phones, their faces illuminated by the glow of the display. It first appeared on a doorway near the club, Broad Plain Working With Young People.
Continue Reading Below
Club owner Dennis Stinchcombe had moved the work inside and invited the public to view it — with an optional donation. The work was later put on display at the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery while its ownership was established.
Stinchcombe thanked Banksy at a news conference at the museum announcing the sale.

Employees expect to use modern tools that makes it easy to do their jobs, from anywhere, at any time, on any device. Enable powerful employee experiences with digital workplace solutions from BMC.
What is a Digital Workplace?
The emergence of the digital workplace has shifted enterprise culture to center on people. In fact, customer experience is set to overtake price and product as the key brand differentiator by 2020.
As digital natives enter the workforce, talent retention is also a critical issue. These workers expect to have access to the best tools—93% of millennials in a recent study cited modern and up-to-date technology as one of the most important aspects of a workplace.
Every stage, from onboarding to off boarding, should be imbued with transparency, empowerment, and ease of use. BMC Helix Digital Workplace provides intuitive and intelligent consumer-like experiences to help organizations step into the future of work easily and fearlessly.
Benefits of a Digital Workplace
- Agility: The future of service delivery is one where enterprises make full use of intelligent systems to achieve new levels of agility, productivity, and efficiency.
- Productivity: With BMC Helix Digital Workplace, employees can use multiple channels to find information and request services, and departments like IT, HR, and Procurement can manage requests and services in one place.
- Engagement: The modern workforce expects modern tools that move with them across devices and they want to be empowered to work to the best of their abilities.
Trends driving the Digital Workplace
- Intelligent, omni-channel experiences: Embedding and enabling cognitive capabilities will revolutionize people-centric experiences in the workplace.
- Consumerization of IT: People want to use the same types of tools at work as they do in their everyday lives and expect no less at work.
- Speed of digital innovation: Businesses must continuously find ways to make employees more productive and enable faster time-to-market of products and services.
- Work isn't a location, it's an activity: Businesses can keep employees engaged by adopting on-demand environments that support employees whenever, wherever, and however they want to work.
Providing a one-stop shop for services
Replace the sprawl and confusion of traditional service catalogs with a unified self-service store for apps and services available on any device.
The service catalog should be:
- Mobile: So that people can work anywhere without compromise
- Self-service: So that employees can take care of their own needs, and arrange support on their own schedule
- User-centric: To engage employees using clean, intuitive interfaces
Strategies to attract and retain a skilled workforce
- Start with a compelling consumer-like experience designed to engage employees in onboarding and throughout their work experience
- Embed cognitive capabilities that are intelligent, conversational, and personalized
- Deliver a seamless experience across devices, locations, and modes of communication—IM, text, video conferencing, voice, and email

When Jimmy Buffett was singing about a cheeseburger in paradise, his vision likely didn't revolve around the cold and rainy afternoon that was the backdrop for my road trip to the Venice pier, 26 miles south of Sarasota on Florida's Gulf Coast.
A burger and a beer seemed like a good finale to a leisurely day's drive along the coast from Port Charlotte to Manasota Key and I'd never been to the Venice pier, one of dozens of historic fishing piers that dot the Sunshine State peninsula. Fishing is the obvious draw, but even if you're not an angler, the combination of the view and the breeze on your face is enough to lower the blood pressure and uplift the spirits.
Did someone mention a breeze? It felt more like gale-force winds on my visit — chilly blasts that required a jacket and threatened several times to remove my baseball cap. The thick, clear plastic wind screens were pulled down over the open deck at Sharkey's on the Pier (sharkeysonthepier.com), the landmark restaurant so named because of the beach's reputation as a terrific spot to find shark's teeth. The shark connection is celebrated at the annual Shark's Tooth Festival, slated for April 8-10 (shakestoothfest.com). There's no fee to walk the pier.
Hopefully, the sun will be out, but even on a cloudy day, a visit to a Florida pier beats working.
You can find a similar vibe at dozens of other spots. One of my faves is the rustic boardwalk at the Flagler Beach Pier, which stretches more than 800 feet off-shore on the Atlantic Ocean between Daytona Beach and St. Augustine. It's the signature spot in a sleepy town populated by mom-and-pop businesses that include a shop specializing in ukuleles. Visit nearby High Tides at Snack Jack (snackjacks.com) for a fine beachside lunch. It's $1.50 to walk the pier, a few dollars more to fish.
In Brevard County, the Jetty Park Fishing Pier in Port Canaveral is a paved 1,200-foot walkway within a well-manicured, 35-acre retreat. Lovely bike trails wind through the hammocks and there's a secluded beach as well as restaurant options at the nearby port.
Visit OrlandoSentinel.com/postcards for more piers, including Anna Maria Island, Jacksonville and more.

Per Jason Wilde of ESPNWisconsin.com:
According to an #NFL source, @JermichaelF88 is in Green Bay and has appointment with Dr. Pat McKenzie this afternoon to view MRIs and talk.
— Jason Wilde (@jasonjwilde) July 17, 2014
This report comes on the heels of one earlier in the week from USA Today that Finley had undergone an MRI and CAT scan with the results being sent to all 32 NFL teams, including the Packers.
Nothing would appear imminent, but it makes sense that the more time that passes, the more healing could potentially take place in Finley's surgically-repaired spinal column.
The Packers may be taking one last look at Finley's medical records before considering whether to bring him in before the start of training camp.
Currently, the Packers have one spot open on their 90-man offseason roster ever since releasing injured running back Johnathan Franklin nearly a month ago.
Player report to training camp in Green Bay in just over a week, Friday July 25 with the first practice to take place the following day.
The Steelers apparently made multiple offers to Finley earlier in the offseason, which the free agent tight end says he hasn't yet accepted.
"Pittsburgh have showed me a couple deals, but we all know the money ain't what it's supposed to be," Finley is quoted as saying. "If I quit the game right now, I can take tax-free money, and that's a difficult thing that I'm going through with myself …"
Finley has a disability insurance policy worth $10 million.

Gates of the Arctic National Park & Preserve
The scenery is of remote wilderness and unpeopled distances, where the natural forces of wind, water, temperature, and glacial and tectonic action have sculpted a wildly varied landscape. Southerly foothills step into waves of mountains which grow to limestone or granitic peaks of over 7,000 feet. At the Arctic Divide the ranks reverse as the tundra stretches to the Arctic Ocean. Six national wild rivers are among the numerous waterways transecting the park. No formal trails exist within its boundaries. With adjacent Noatak National Preserve and Kobuk Valley National Park, Gates of the Arctic comprises one of the world's largest parkland areas.
Created to ensure the integrity of the arctic environment, Gates of the Arctic contains major portions of the Brooks Range and habitat of the western arctic caribou herd. Grizzly and black bear, wolf, moose, Dall sheep, wolverine, and fox are also found in the park. At spring breakup, the few resident bird species are joined by migratory species from Europe, South America, Asia, tropical archipelagos, and the continental United States. Despite the variety, wildlife is widely dispersed because large areas are required to sustain life in the Arctic.
Sparse black-spruce forests called taiga (from the Russian for "land of little sticks") dot north-facing slopes and poorly drained lowlands. Boreal forests of white spruce, aspen, and birch are typically found on south-facing slopes. Near tree line, the shrub-thicket community of dwarf and resin birch, alder, and willow appears. Heath moss, and fragile lichen make up the understory. Alpine tundra communities occur in mountainous areas and along well-drained rocky ridges.

Discover a wealth of information about schools, nurseries and properties in The UK, including
reviews, catchment areas, admissions data, inspection ratings, exam results and more.
Founded in 2010; The original and the best UK schools map. Often copied, never bettered!
A great tool for parents
We have been using Locrating for nearly 10 years to select our primary school and now secondary school. It is an invaluable tool especially if you are moving to a new area and do not know the local schools or which streets to live in. You can easily see where the best schools are that fit your search criteria as well as ideal areas to live in order to fall into the most recent catchment area. We would highly recommend this site to parents who need help choosing a school and/or area to live.
Very informative website and owner is…

Robust and accurate information is always provided by the team, a really valuable for any parent and (indeed any teacher) LE
This is a great website!
This is a great website! We used Locrating to search for secondary schools for our son. Having the ability to view past exam results and the oversubscribed data is incredibly useful. We also ventured further afield than we may otherwise have explored and considered a house move which may tie in with the perfect school. Keep up the good work!

Great help if you are moving house or…
Great help if you are moving house or chosing schools, especially good if you are doing both
Truly helps to choose a school
This service helps to narrow down the schools choice, showing the most necessary criteria in a very friendly way. Thank you for a great job.
Great website
A very helpful website to help young parents navigate their way through all the complexity of schools and nurseries!
Very useful for school planning
Superb site - pin your location to find which schools you are in the catchment for and details on ofsted rating, parent opinions and more. Even find properties for rent / sale in the catchments of interest.
Great site for anyone looking at new schools.
Overall a great site for anyone looking for the right school. The map could be easier to use on mobile phones, and it would be nice to see the ratio of student applications per school place on the school panel, important when moving school mid year. Also Rightmove would perhaps be a better partner for property than Zoopla as it has more houses listed and better school catchment details.
School comparison
A most useful tool coagulating school data. It would help to be able to easily search for a school and it would help to be able to build shortlist of schools filer tonkey data.
Was a bit sceptical, I thought that free services you can find online probably had as much info, but have to Locrating say was well worth the money. Well designed and has really helped in our school search to make more informed decisions.
Indispensable tool
Indispensable tool for me as I am moving to the UK from Australia and was having a lot of trouble finding a good school. Using locrating in tandem with real estate sites made finding a place to live near good schools much easier.
Good experience
We have been using locrating since the days when it was free...now they have improved the service with lots of additional features.. Good job :)
Does not get better than this
Its one comprehensive site where you can view of schools as well property. Does not get better than this.
Very useful.
Very useful.
An invaluable research tool
I use Locrating.com almost daily as a resource for my Education Consultancy business and find the tool invaluable. The web team are also extremely responsive to feedback and updates and are therefore able to offer a service that families can really rely on to educate themselves on schooling options in particular areas.
Simply fantastic.
We used it when trying to pick a school for our 4 yr old daughter and I can honestly say I have no idea how we would have managed if it wasn't for Locrating.
The site is great and the only one (as far as we can see) that offers all the information combined in this manner. It's very easy to navigate and configure so you can see the information on the types of schools that you are interested in.
We can't praise it enough. If you care about the standard and quality of school you are about to send your kids to, there is simply no other way to go. Without this you either have to look up the Ofsted reports yourself or take a risk and rely on other people's opinions.
An invaluable tool for researching school choices
Locrating has been an invaluable tool for navigating school choices. So much information in one place. It's great for seeing state & private schools in your area, previous years catchments plus links to Ofsted reports, school websites and more. You can filter those available with lots of useful options like boys/girls/co-ed, state/private, religion or Ofsted rating etc.
Also if you're thinking of relocating for a particular school or just to a new area, you can then tick a box to show properties for sale or to rent on the map alongside the schools.
I had a couple of technical glitches and was skeptical about using email for support, however I couldn't have been more wrong-Lewis was extremely helpful and quick to respond. My glitches were fixed very fast.
This website is genius!
If you're looking to move for schools or just research schools in a given area Locrating is invaluable. You can show schools on a map with catchment areas, alongside properties to rent or buy and use all of the usual search criteria for both including school results and rankings. I've used it now for secondary school research and again to plan a 6th form move. Finding Locrating has saved me loads of time and hassle and really taken the legwork out of the research. I cannot recommend it highly enough!
Absolutely MUST if you are moving…
Absolutely MUST if you are moving houses, or selecting area to leave with a kids.
great website that also shows you available properties in schools' catchment areas
this is a great website that does what it says. also very handy when you are looking to buy. We have a 2 year old daughter and are currently looking for properties near a particular primary school. the map can include zoopla listings and so you can easily look at the properties available in the catchment area.
Great web site
Great web site. I love that it keeps improving and adding new features.
My family are hoping to relocate next year and it's all with the help of Relocrating.
Well done !!
Locrating was amazing
Locrating was amazing. It saved me hours and hours of research. All the facts at my fingertips. I was able to scroll around and bring up the info I was interested in on all the schools in my area. It was a useful tool when thinking of areas we might move to as well. So much information. An incredibly useful website.
Useful when researching an area
Helpful and useful when researching an area. Has opened our eyes to some new options we have in our borough. Also, a necessity when looking for that next place where we might buy a house. Highly recommended!
Locrating really is a useful resource…
Locrating really is a useful resource which has helped my wife and I navigate the school situation for our young ones. The data is comprehensive and well presented. What a clever name too!
Smooth as silk
Super easy to use and gives a great picture of catchment area info in just a few minutes. Has helped me out a lot!
Absolutely brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant! Loads of information, easy to use and for the best value. Much better than other sites I've tried.
Handy. Updated always. Saves time.
An extremely helpful website that made…
An extremely helpful website that made the search for the right house and the best local schools so much easier. The site was recommended to us by friends who used it when they moved last year.
Invaluable source of information
Invaluable source of information for parents needing more info about catchment areas and property prices within those. The data are accurate and the interface is easy to use. It was recommended by a friend and we found it an indispensable tool when looking at school for our children.
Although they're charging now it…
Although they're charging now it doesn't take away from the fact that it's a useful website to view all types of schools in your area. The comparison function and the property prices overlay on the map is very useful!
Locrating was a fantastic tool which…
Locrating was a fantastic tool which helped us filter down the many choices of schools we were presented with. We just moved to the UK from overseas and the consolidated console with information about nearly every school as well as real estate was a great help.
One of the best tools available
One of the best tools available in the market if you are planning to buy a property and are concerned about the schools in the area! User friendly and smooth, i think its good value for money.
This is such a great website
This is such a great website. It is so easy to see all the schools using the map and quickly read all of the relevant information about the schools. I like being able to order the schools in a specific area.
