Obamacare and Amazon are running at about the same level of efficiency, just as President Obama promised, to judge from reports of missed Christmas deliveries.
"A surge in online shopping this holiday season left stores breaking promises to deliver packages by Christmas, suggesting that retailers and shipping companies still haven't fully figured out consumers' buying patterns in the Internet era," the Wall Street Journal reports.
Or, as Obama put it in a different context, "Even if we get the hardware and software working exactly the way its supposed to, with relatively minor glitches, what we're also discovering is that insurance is complicated to buy."
UPS Inc. attributed the problems to high demand. "The volume of air packages in the UPS system did exceed capacity as demand was much greater than our forecast," a spokeswoman said.
That's a familiar explanation to Americans following the Obamacare rollout. "[T]he volume far exceeded our expectations and that the volume has driven the problems that we've seen and exposed some of the problems that we now know about," White House press secretary Jay Carney has often told reporters.
Government spin doctors, at least, deliver care with private-sector efficiency.
The problems are more fundamental than high traffic, of course. "[I]nsurers have been reporting a high error rate on the so-called 834 forms, which transmit enrollment data on individuals from the federal government to the insurers," as the Washington Examiner's Philip Klein wrote. "These errors have involved mixing up spouses and children, duplicating some enrollments, inadvertently canceling others.
"If unfixed, insurers won't have accurate information on who is supposed to have enrolled in insurance by Jan. 1 and won't be able to smoothly process a large number of payments, which are essential to insurance taking effect," Klein added.
As it happens, there's a loose analogy for that trouble in the Christmas gift fiasco. "In notifications to some Amazon customers, UPS said there were some shipping delays because it had 'not yet received the package from the shipper,' " the Wall Street Journal reports.
"Now, this is real simple," Obama said in September, before he knew how "complicated" health care reform really is. "It's a website where you can compare and purchase affordable health insurance plans, side by side, the same way you shop for a plane ticket on Kayak, same way you shop for a TV on Amazon. You just go on and you start looking, and here are all the options."
If that promise was fulfilled this Christmas, it wasn't in the way Obama intended.

Value buys in gold and silver
These haven holdings offer an excellent opportunity for defensive investors.
By J. Royden Ward, Cabot Benjamin Graham Value Letter
In an effort to increase the defensive holdings in our value portfolio, we've added one gold mining and one silver position to the portfolio: Barrick Gold (ABX) and Silver Wheaton (SLW).
Barrick Gold, based in Toronto, Ontario, operates 26 mines in North and South America, Australia and Africa with three additional mines under construction. Silver Wheaton, based in Vancouver, British Columbia, purchases silver from mines in Greece, Mexico, Peru and Sweden. The company does not own or operate any silver mines, but purchases silver produced as a by-product of gold mining companies.
Barrick Gold undervalued
Barrick is conducting many exploration and development mines. The projects are expected to provide substantial production in future years.
Barrick derives 34% of production from North America, 33% from South America, 22% from Australia and 8% from Africa. It also mines significant amounts of copper.
It purchased Equinox Minerals in 2011, which is adding valuable copper assets to its holdings. Equinox is already increasing Barrick's earnings per share.
Barrick expects to begin gold production at two new major mines within the next 12 months. The mines' construction costs are rising, but the cost of mining gold at the new mines is expected to be significantly lower than its average cost of $540 per ounce.
The company reported disappointing results for the quarter ended June 30. Sales declined 4% and earnings per share dropped 35%. Lower copper and gold production was exacerbated by lower metals prices.
I expect the price of gold to rise noticeably during the second half of 2012. New mines will boost production. I forecast revenue growth of 10% and EPS growth of 9% during the next 12-month period ending June 30.
Investors often invest in gold when geopolitical situations become strained. Unfortunately, the unrest in the Middle East and North Africa will continue and European debt problems will persist.
Gold offers a safe haven to hedge against future uncertainty, and the recent slide in Barrick's stock price offers an excellent opportunity for investors.
At 10.8 times current earnings per share and a dividend yield of 1.9%, ABX shares are clearly undervalued. ABX is low risk.
Silver Wheaton may win more contracts
Silver Wheaton pays less than $4.00 per ounce of silver from gold mining companies such as Barrick Gold and Goldcorp (GG).
The company owns purchase agreements on proved and prolific silver reserves, such as Goldcorp's Penasquito mine in Mexico and Pascua-Lana mine in Peru. Silver Wheaton contracts are very profitable and will produce rapid revenue and earnings growth well into the future.
Slower silver shipments caused sales to increase only 3% during the second quarter, while earnings per share declined 5%, worse than expected. Silver Wheaton's silver production increased 10%, but silver prices dropped 24% from a year ago.
The company recently inked a new contract with Hudbay which will add immediate cash flow with future costs fixed at current levels.
Silver Wheaton is in an enviable position to win new contracts at favorable rates when silver prices fall. The company has over $1.1 billion in cash with almost no debt.
Silver Wheaton raised its quarterly dividend to $0.10, which now yields 1.0%. Sales and earnings will likely increase 25% and 29% respectively in 2012.
The lower price of silver and the decline in SLW's stock price offers an excellent buying opportunity. SLW shares are medium risk.

Registered sex offender from Dauphin County arrested on child pornography chargesĀ
HARRISBURGĀ- Attorney General Kathleen G. Kane today announced the arrest of a Dauphin County man, as part of ongoing efforts to target the online sharing, downloading and distribution of child pornography.Ā
According to the criminal complaint, agents conducting an online investigation found numerous files containing explicit images of minors engaged in sexually graphic acts and poses. Agents determined that the files were being downloaded and disseminated from a computer allegedly belonging to William Hopkins, 56, 304 Market St., Third Floor, Millersburg, Dauphin County. Hopkins is a lifetime Megan's Law registrant.
During a search of Hopkins' Millersburg apartment, forensic examiners located suspected child pornography on a desktop computer. Hopkins was arrested on Jan. 10, 2014 and charged with 11 counts of distribution of child pornography, 11 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of criminal use of a communication facility.
He was preliminarily arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Rebecca Margerum and held in the Dauphin County Prison in lieu of $150,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Jan. 21, 2014.
Attorney General Kane thanked the Millersburg Borough Police Department for their assistance with the investigation. The case will be prosecuted in Dauphin County by Deputy Attorney General Christopher Jones of the Attorney General's Child Predator Section.
The Child Predator Section has made 119 arrests since its expansion in 2013.

NY Good Questions: Cheap Repair Ideas For This Chair?
Dear AT,
I found this chair at a thrift store for $5, and I'm wondering what the best way to repair it is.
The finish is chipping off, and the cane back is starting to fall apart, but I can't afford to have it professionally repaired right now.
I've refinished and reupholstered furniture before, and the results were decent, but not professional.
A friend of mine cautioned me against hasty repairs, and said it might be worth something if I wait until I can have it fixed properly.
I know next to nothing about furniture- I can't find a manufacturer's stamp anywhere on it, but it seems to be well made...
Email questions and pics with QUESTIONS in subject line to:
Link To All Good Questions
How do you tell weather to restore or revamp a flea market piece like this?
And does anyone know of a cheap way to repair a cane back chair?
Thanks! Emily
7 Comments
I would wait! It's kind of cool in it's current state and your friend may or may not be right about it being worth something. I bought a sofa and matching chair 4 years ago from St. Vinnie's. I knew it was nothing famous but I could see a diamond on the rough. Sadly I couldn't afford to get it redone right away. I thought about reupholstering it myself to save money. I was going to have slip covers made but in reality what I truly wanted was a complete reupholster job with new cushions and all. Everytime I thought about something I could to do to my embarassing sofa and chair I would take that money and squirrel it away. I am happy to report I finally had it completely redone this last month. It was worth the wait and every penny I spent to have it done. It's done right! And exactly the way I had always envisioned it.
If you don't want to wait you can have someone just replace the caning. That shouldn't cost too much and then just refinish it yourself. Take some photos and shop it around.
Professional restoration often costs more than the piece is worth. It's only worth restoring a flea market find if it's something valuable-but-fallen-on-hard-times or something unusual that you really, really love.
If the cane back is machine cane, with a spline holding the cane in place, it should be fairly easy/cheap/quick to replace. You use the new spline (and white household glue) to hold the sheet of machine-made cane in the groove. I've done a couple of seat and backs of chairs for about $20 in supplies each (caningshop.com). If you can see the holes in the chair back that the cane goes through, then it's woven cane (think a round bundle of reed). More difficult and very time consuming since you're going to have to literally weave the back, but still do-able.
If you don't want to tackle it, there might be a weaving store in your area that would do it for you. Be warned that if they have to weave it, it's going to cost $$$.
Also, if you're gonna fix the finish on the chair, I'd start with that before the cane.
Good luck!
look up a upholstery or woodcraft store and see how much a piece to fit the cane part would be, they sell cane by the sheet, and you just put it in like screen on a door or window. then just reupholster your material seat, and sand and restain the same color stain, remember stain comes with sealer combined. it is east , now that all is so available for the do it yourself.
good luck
Dusty myers has the best advice.
Dusty is right but if you want a quick fix. I would just recover the seat for now. Find some inexpensive fabric in a darker tone than the wood. I bet you can find a piece for as little as $10. All you need is a staple gun or borrow one.
A simple black chenille with a small tick of color in it would be perfect. A bright red or orange would also be great. Yardage stores remnant bins. You walls are white and the contrast of the darker colors will give it a nice impact.

Suspense builds for Delaware G.O.P. Presidential Primary
It wasn't supposed to be this way.
Mitt Romney had sealed the Republican Presidential nomination and that was it.
But Newt Gingrich had other ideas. He would go for broke here in Delaware, relying on the state's zest for retail campaigning; collect some endorsements; and count on apathy on the Romney side. Gingrich got a boost from some inexcusable missteps from the Romney camp.
Will Gingrich actually prevail here in Delaware tomorrow - Tuesday - Delaware Republican Presidential Primary Day?
We shall see. For Gingrich to win, three things must happen:
(1). Solid downstate turn-out in the state's more traditional areas, the folks who have consistently voted for the more conservative candidates over the years, from Clatworthy to O'Donnell to Urquhart.
(2). Last-minute switches to Gingrich even from Republicans who were inclined to vote for Romney, and who assume he's clinched the nomination. In fact, the perception of Romney as the inevitable nominee may give these folks more latitude to cast a protest vote. Gingrich is now the most viable anti-Romney. That's how Gingrich could actually do quite well in northern New Castle County.
Some voters may want to reward Gingrich simply for paying attention to Delaware.
(3). Low turn-out: It's generally assumed the anti-Romney voters are more motivated than the Romney voters.
Given his establishment support, though, it would seem Romney retains the edge. Still, when someone like Michele Rollins extols the virtues of Mitt Romney, watch out!
Meanwhile, national political reporters and pundits have caught on that Gingrich has been spending a lot of time in Delaware, and if Gingrich is to win ANY state Tuesday, it will likely be Delaware.
From MS NBC's First Read---
If Gingrich were to win Delaware, then what? A Gingrich win would probably trigger a round of stories that Romney-the-inevitable ain't Romney-the-lovable: Where retail politics still matters - and where the Romney campaign saw no point in carpet-bombing Gingrich via Philadelphia television - Newt could topple the anointed one.
BREAKING NEWS (2:15 p.m., Monday): Delaware G.O.P. National Committeewoman Priscilla Rakestraw - on the "Rick Jensen Show" - has just switched her support from Mitt Romney to Newt Gingrich. Gingrich says he's "very very honored and deeply grateful."

"Suspense" builds for Delaware...
Why the marginalization of Ron Paul. I have been to many Tea party rallies, including rallies downstate, and there are far more anti-Romney forces who would support Dr. Paul rather than the ex-House speaker.
As Mr. Loudell has noted before, many of the anti-Romney forces are moral conservatives, which cannot be reconciled with voting for somebody who had multiple mistresses (and probably still does) and asked his wife to sign divorce papers while she was in bed dying from cancer.
Moreoever, Dr. Paul is widely perceived as the only candidate with a significant change from the status quo.
From a standpoint of government spending, Romney, Obama and Gingrich are identical.
For change, it's Dr. Ron Paul.
Allan Loudell
Mon, Apr 23, 2012 8:40am
My analysis answers your question, teatime.
Gingrich has put himself in a position to win the Delaware G.O.P. Primary because of retail politics: His decision to campaign strenuously in the First State.
Ron Paul, for all his virtues, hasn't even set foot ONCE in Delaware during this current election cycle.

As I have said in previous comments here, that I'm leaning towards voting for Newt on Tuesday. I don't think he'll get enough delegates to win, but he may keep Mitt from getting enough so that the convention will decide. Mitt is a good man; Newt's got baggage. I surly don't approve of the life choices Newt's made. However, Romney seems to be too comfortable, he knows he's got it sewn up. He's cruising. The fire doesn't seem to be there in his belly, like it is for Newt.
Unfortunately, people are flawed. I am flawed and have made more than my fair number of mistakes in my life. As God has forgiven me, so does God forgive Newt, IF he repented of his sins. He tells us he has. So If the Resurrected Christ can forgive Newt and Callista of their actions, who are we to not forgive them. He's not running for Pope, but for President.
Teatime, you cast stones at Newt saying he probably still does have multiple mistresses. That's a cheap shot and an unfounded remark, unless you know something no one else knows. None of us can cast stones as we all are sinners saved by the grace of God.
Gingrich might be the right person for the job as Prez given the international problems we're facing. He can be tough like a Reagan, and Newt has spent his life studying this stuff. This stuff is NOT Mitt's forte. Newt has good ideas on how to fix the economy, and his plan doesn't call for sticking it to folks like me who will be getting Social Security in the next 5 years while giving more tax breaks to his millionaire pals, which also benefits himself. If Mitt wants MY vote, then he's got to change that business of sticking it to me and folks like me for Social Security and Medicare. Newt found a way to fix things and not mess with folks. Surely Mitt can too.
I've paid into the Social Security trust fund as a full time worker for 42 years, and a few years before doing summer jobs as a student. I'll NOT vote for someone who's going to NOW say too bad for you. I'll vote for Obama before voting for someone who's plan is to stick it to me when there are other ways to go that won't hurt all of us who've done our part and now expect the government to do its part. THAT is a deal-breaker for me.
Ron Paul is even worse in that arena. He's got no chance of winning the votes of folks like me or the Senior vote, meaning he's got no chance of winning the nomination or the Presidency. Dr. Paul, a good man, but is not the right person to be the President.
Mon, Apr 23, 2012 10:31am
I plan to vote for Newt (the last real anti-Romney in the race) on Tuesday in hopes that a win in Delaware will take more power from Romney at the GOP convention.
I think that Romney will get the nomination BUT removing delegates from him gives Newt, Santorum (and even Ron Paul) more political "chips" at the GOP convention.
Maybe Newt/Santorum/Paul will have enough "chips" to help in the VP choice and secure themselves good spots on the Romney administration. Ron Paul as the Head of the Fed...only one who would aggressively seek to dismantle the Fed. Secretary of Defense Santorum? Newt as Secretary of State?

Since Mitt Romney is taking such a beating on this blog, I really invite a pro-Romney person to come here and make the case for voting for Romney in Tuesday's Delaware G.O.P. Primary (And also to respond to some of the arguments above...)

Here is an interesting article explaining that Social Security is not in trouble that can't be easily fixed. GOP take note. This isn't rocket science to make SS solvent longer than the 2033 year that is it now.
This can be the Achilles Heal for the GOP winning 2012.

I used to work at the pizza joint next to Republican headquarters and got to know Priscilla Rakestraw rather well. She really is a dear woman, but I had a most difficult time trying to persuade her that conservatives are more winnable than moderates at least on a national level. She was gung-ho Romney two years ago and was convinced that only he could win. Unfortunately, my friend may be a arriving to the party a bit late, but you've heard the old saying about better late than never, right?
I would not put it past Newt to pull a rabbit out of his hat come convention time. He may know something we don't know. Stay tuned.

MFD: I read the Tom Harkin article, and his proposal is very sensible. Problem is, his party castigated the GOP when they wanted to do the same thing. "They want to put Grandma in the street eating dog food, etc." Now if Harkin and the Democrats want to make good on it, that's fine with me.
I must also remind you that President George W. Bush, whom you so despise, was thrown under the bus for warning us 10 years ago that SSA and Medicare needed to be fixed.
I don't care who fixes it, but let's get on with it!

Mrpizza: Bush Jr wanted to essentially eliminate SS and put folks in a 401 K plan. Part of his plan was to stick it to folks in my age bracket back then. Anyone born AFTER 1950 got screwed. I was born in 1951. So I didn't like his plan and wanted no parts of it. THAT is why Bush was so castigated by the DEMS and folks like me on the Social Security issue. He wasn't the first to say SS needed some tweaking, but as a good Republican, he hated SS, because it was a DEM program and the GOP was tired of this DEM program that folks like and that's successful (75 years is a great track record for any program). They want a GOP program to replace SS. That's why some Republicans Do Not want to fix SS, they'd rather it die or be eliminated.
I agree with you, the Tom Harkin proposal is a good one and I don't remember the GOP ever wanting to raise the ceiling on the SS tax. But that is what needs to be done, that's an easy fix and will solve the immediate issues. Then the government could start looking at Newt's idea for the young folks. Doesn't sound difficult.

MFD: There's the problem right there. It isn't that difficult at all. But does government ever want to uncomplicate anything?

Mitt Romney is getting beaten up. I don't want to do it further. but that aside, when looking for any redeeming value from his supporters, they all fall back on that..... they think... he can win.
In other words, they are saying we either don't like him or don't know much about him, but we are supporting him because we think he can win.
Well, if enough people backed my grandmother, she could probably win too, but though I love her to death, I don't think she would make a good president...
I have to agree with Newt's assessment that voters are being told who to vote for by the manipulation of the media. Not so much you, Allan, but the snippets that get mass-produced by the big sources, and then get picked up and run by all the little ones....
There is a lot inside of campaigns that does not get reported. Those of us who are junkies, and watch a ton of live campaigns, are amazed that the most inane moments are announced as news, and the most profound, awe inspiring sentences, are simply ignored. It is almost as if the media were sinisterly manipulating their reporting to create a feeling that will move people unwittingly toward one candidate over the other... ( we saw how they manipulated the news of the Trayvon shooting, to paint it more racist than it was)...
That is why Delaware is so important. Florida, Ohio, and of course PA would be big media states. But in South Carolina, Iowa, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, which are smaller media outlets, other candidate out-performed Romney there.
Romney seems to only succeed where the media are in control. I certainly hope that Delawareans vote on who they like, on who they think is a better person, and not... on who they are told will be the strongest candidate to win.
When every American votes their heart, we will get our country back. When they vote how those in control want them to vote, things will remain the same.

Mozilla Thunderbird 2 is a fine, free, extensible e-mail client and a solid alternative to pricey Microsoft Outlook 2007 or the free Windows Live Mail.
Pricing not available
It's hard to find a free e-mail client that can go toe to toe with Mozilla Thunderbird, now available as a version 1.0 release candidate.
Pricing not available
CNET's Rafe Needleman hopes Google's acquisition of Sparrow doesn't spell the end of competition among desktop e-mail software vendors.
The company will maintain and even update its e-mail client but will no longer focus on innovating or enhancing the application.
The Internet company plans to let go of its open-source e-mail software, with hopes that other people will keep the T-bird alive, according to a leaked letter obtained by TechCrunch.
The new Thunderbird e-mail program, now on the rapid-release schedule of sister software Firefox, gets a calendar add-on.
Create a rule in MS Outlook and filter in Mozilla Thunderbird to block mail from specific addresses or domains, and set each e-mail app to notify you of new mail from an address.
Mozilla will continue to develop the standalone e-mail software, but a lot of the new attention focuses on Web-based communications.
A new add-on called Thunderbird Conversations is available to those who want a more Gmail-like experience while using Mozilla's e-mail program.
Another coffin nail arrives for those with the older lineage: the Mac version of Mozilla's upcoming e-mail software will work only on Apple's newer Intel-based machines.

Mesa Police have arrested a 15-year-old who jumped into the driver's seat of a Mesa Police cruiser while officers were stopped to respond to a disturbance call.
About 1 a.m. Sunday, Mesa Police were called to the area of 2nd St and Mesa Drive. They interrupted a loud party involving several people under the age of 21 who were suspected of consuming alcohol.
They cited several people and one adult. One of the juveniles was so intoxicated, that person had to go to the hospital.
While officers were otherwise engaged, someone jumped into the driver's seat of their marked police cruiser. The suspect backed up into a parked car -- and when officers tried to stop him and pull him out of the vehicle, he accelerated and broke the officer's grip.
The suspect then struck an ambulance -- the ambulance that his underage friend was in -- and fled.
Dispatchers were able to locate the police car about 5 minutes later by tracking its GPS unit. It was a half mile from the disturbance call.
When officers arrived, they found the cruiser idling -- but no one was inside. A short time later they found the suspect hiding in some nearby bushes.
Mesa Police Sgt. Tony Landato says there may have been a loaded AR-15 in the trunk.
The 15-year-old is facing charges of vehicle theft, aggravated assault, endangerment, hit-and-run, and driving under the influence.
The teen had apparently been at the party earlier and ran when officers arrived.

Keizo Kitajima Captures the After-Hours Denizens of 1970s Tokyo
Busking musicians, streetwalkers and shop window mannequins bustle in Keizo Kitajima's monochrome vision of Tokyo nightlife and its inhabitants. Greatly influenced by the teachings of Daido Moriyama at the legendary Japanese photographer's Workshop school, Kitajima combined his raw approach with an aesthetic imperfection and Moriyama's stylistic 'misuse' of the camera. "I tried to become a mechanical eye," he explains. "Whether it's to understand the systems of perception at work inside us, or to discover the components that dictate our sensitiveness, I'm convinced it's better to reproduce our systems of sight than to observe the outside world." Initially exhibited in 1979 at the Shinjuku based Camp Gallery, Kitajima's unfiltered and graphic pictures challenged perceptions of what photography could be, and his unconventional attitude was amplified by an incredibly forward-thinking installation for the time. Calling on New York's Pop Art movement, Kitajima pasted his work across the gallery walls, ceiling and floor. Celebrated with the Kimura Ihei Award in 1982, Kitajima has achieved cult status for his visceral imagery and has exhibited internationally at the likes of the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. Photo Express: Tokyo, a monograph collating a series of 12 individual punk-inspired zines published once a week for the duration of the 1979 exhibition, is released by Steidl later this month.

This is a great book! I felt the same way mydogblue, it left me speechless. This is a really fascinating book about teens who dont want to waste their teen years.

Holy God, Powerset Launches
Posted by kev Mon, 12 May 2008 06:21:00 GMT
We're out, searching Wikipedia and FreeBase. Proud doesn't begin to describe my feelings about what's been created. I think it speaks for itself, and I've been using it instead of Wikipedia for the last few months.
Some people even seem to really get it. And that's an amazing high.
Huge thanks are not only due to the Powerset team (I love working with these people), but also to all of the open source projects we're making use of. Hadoop. HBase. Thrift. Ruby. Merb. Rails. god. Mongrel. Mootools. RabbitMQ. The ActiveMessaging Project. Memcache and MemcacheDB. Erlang. Fuzed. YAWS. Countless others. All those people who take the time to answer our questions, and respond to our bugs, and consider our patches, and write interesting articles, and make our code better. You guys rock, and we couldn't do it without you. So much love is heading in your direction right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I'm exausted, and going to bed. Good night, and good luck. And try the app. I'm stoked.

I received a slip in the mail today telling me I had a package from the US waiting for me. Imagine my disappointment when the tracking number didn't match up with that of my blaster.
I wonder what it is though, I don't remember ordering anything else from the US recently. Feels like a late christmas present.

The aircraft maker says a $76 million contract will let it start upgrading the U.S. Air Force's aging but still potent fleet of heavy bombers.
Researchers find that the number of instances of cancer have remained relatively static between 1970 and 2008.
Last week's press release from the World Health Organisation (WHO) set alarm bells ringing and had many mobile phone users reaching for their hands-free headsets, but is there really cause for concern? A 40 per cent increase in the risk of cancer for phone owners is a terrifying prospect, especially in a country like Australia where phone subscriptions outnumber our population. But is this really what the WHO is suggesting?
World Health Organization issues new findings, classifying cell phones as a potential cancer risk, like exhaust from gasoline-powered vehicles and lead.
The study by the World Health Organization studied 13,000 people over 10 years on a possible link between cell phone use and two types of brain cancer.
CNET shows you the 20 cell phones in the United States with the lowest specific absorption rate.
We often buy phone cases to protect our smartphones, but should we also buy cases to protect our health? We look closer at radiation, health risks and the cases that claim to keep you safe.
A paper by a group of electromagnetic radiation activists says there's a "significant" risk of brain tumors from cell phone use, especially for children.
New research out of Europe suggests that children who use cell phones are at no increased risk of developing brain tumors. But researchers still caution that more studies are needed.

Who are all the countries in the world in debt to?
I hear everywhere how Greece is in debt, France is in debt, the UK is in debt, Poland is in debt ....
I hear that part of these debts are so called internal debts i.g. governments owe money to their respective citizens, which boils down to us being in debt to ... ourselves. This concept in itself does not boggle my mind as much as the fact that anyone in their right mind is willing to buy it.
Part of these debts are so called external debts. Now, this can basically make sense only can anyone explain to me where does the buck stop i.e. who is the ultimate source of all that enormous credit? Since I am a kind of a redneck, can someone explain this in very simple terms steering clear of the language of economics which of course was developed for anything but explaining things?

|Lectures on Cosmology Accelerated Expansion of the Universe, Georg Wolschin (Ed.) (2010) 1-57
|Inflation and Cosmological Perturbations
|D. Langlois1, 2
|The purpose of these lectures is to give a pedagogical introduction to inflation and the production of primordial perturbations, as well as a review of some of the latest developments in this domain. After a short introduction, we review the main principles of the Hot Big Bang model, as well as its limitations. This motivates the study of cosmological inflation induced by a slow-rolling scalar field. We then turn to the analysis of cosmological perturbations, and explain how the vacuum quantum fluctuations are amplified during an inflationary phase. The next step consists in relating the perturbations generated during inflation to the perturbations of the cosmological fluid in the radiation dominated phase. The final part of these lectures gives a review of more general models of inflation, involving multiple fields or non standard kinetic terms. Although more complicated, these models are usually motivated by high energy physics and they can lead to specific signatures that are not expected in the simplest models of inflation. After introducing a very general formalism to describe perturbations in multi-field models with arbitrary kinetic terms, several interesting cases are presented. We also stress the role of entropy perturbations in the context of multi-field models. Finally, we discuss in detail the non-Gaussianities of the primordial perturbations and some models that could produce a detectable level of non-Gaussianities.

4 unexpected ways to save with a green vehicle
Sure it's a little pricier than a conventional car, but think of the perks: tax credits, rebates, and discounts. And the eco-street cred? Priceless.
This post comes from Susan Ladika at partner site Money Talks News.
By buying a green vehicle you can save far more than a fistful of dollars at the gas pump. Instead, you can fuel up your bank account with thousands of dollars in savings.
Green vehicle sales have been in the fast lane so far this year, surpassing 450,000, according to AutoblogGreen. That's up 26% from the first eight months of 2012. And August sales are charged up even more, reaching more than 72,000 units. That's up nearly 50% from the year before.
The Toyota Prius continues to lead the pack when it comes to sales of green vehicles, accounting for more than 35% of sales of hybrids and alternative-fuel vehicles in August alone.
The surge in green vehicle sales comes at a time when auto sales in general continue to climb. Overall, more than 1.5 million vehicles were purchased in August, up 17% from the year before. While the growth in overall auto sales figures is impressive, it pales in comparison with those of green vehicles.
While hybrids and alternative-fuel vehicles generally cost more than their gasoline-powered counterparts, there are a number of unexpected ways to add a stack of green to your bank account by buying a green vehicle.
1. Federal tax credits
If you buy an electric vehicle, you'll get plenty of bang for your buck in the form of a federal tax credit. The tax credit for purchasing an electric vehicle is a whopping $7,500 and includes such popular models such as the Ford Focus EV and Nissan Leaf.
The U.S. Department of Energy website has a list of autos that qualify for the electric vehicle tax credit.
You also can score a tax credit if you purchase a plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle, which combines the features of a traditional hybrid vehicle with an electric vehicle.
Those credits range from $2,500 for a Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid to $7,500 for a Chevrolet Volt. You can get details on the plug-in hybrid-electric vehicle tax credits on the Department of Energy website.
2. State rebates
Certain states also offer rebates on green vehicles, so you need to be sure to check with your home state to see what is available.
- In California, for example, you can get a rebate of up to $2,500 for buying or leasing a zero-emission vehicle or plug-in hybrid vehicle.
- Pennsylvania provides a $3,000 rebate for purchasing a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle or electric vehicle, and smaller rebates for other types of vehicles.
3. Auto loan savings
This is another one you'll have to scout around for, but a number of banks and credit unions offer discounts on auto loans if you buy a green vehicle. These often are available for gas-powered vehicles with good fuel economy, hybrids or alternative-fuel vehicles. Discounts are generally 0.25% or 0.50% off the interest rate of your auto loan.
Many financial institutions use the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's SmartWay vehicle certification to determine if a vehicle is eligible for a discount. Information is available at www.fueleconomy.gov.
4. Insurance discounts
Some auto insurance companies offer discounts if you drive a green vehicle. Discounts on your premium will vary based on the state you live in and other individual factors.
Travelers offers a discount if you own or lease a hybrid, while Farmers offers a discount for hybrid or alternative-fuel vehicles.
Have you found other ways to save by owning a green vehicle?

CNET's favorite speakers, including sound bars, Bluetooth speakers, and full surround sound systems.
The Vizio S5451W-C2's extra-large sound bar and surround speakers deliver standout surround sound, if you can live with the size.
Excellent picture quality, well thought-out features and distinctive design make the Vizio M-Series seem like a much more expensive TV than it really is.
The Vizio S2121w-D0 Sound Stand is cheap but not a good value, with quality that pales against the competition -- including Vizio's own sound bars.
With picture quality that outdoes that of numerous more-expensive TVs, Vizio's E series likely represents the best value of 2014.
We liked the picture quality-to-performance propositions of Vizio's 1080p resolution M-Series and E-Series TVs last year, which bodes well for the new 4K-resolution P-Series.
Pricing not available
The 54-inch Vizio S5430W-C2 is designed to accompany larger televisions and features Bluetooth with aptX support.
Vizio's new Vizio Co-Star LT smart-TV box has an HDMI input for integrating cable and onboard apps.
The 60-inch Vizio M1d-A3R doesn't quite offer the very best value for money in the company's range, but nevertheless features fine picture quality in a large size.
Vizio's new sound bars match up perfectly with 42- and 32-inch TVs, while also offering built-in Bluetooth and some very aggressive prices.
Vizio introduced its first-ever pedestal-style sound bar at CES 2014, looking to compete with similar models from Bose and Zvox.

During the summer of each academic year we hold a seminar which delves into various aspects of a central theme or topic. Previous topics have included "Transformative Teaching and Learning" as well as "Strength Finders", a series that involved identifying our unique talents and exploring how to utilize them as individuals and as members of a team. The seminars consist of resident presentations, guest speaker presentations, and small breakout groups to facilitate interaction and discussion. At the culmination of our "Strength Finders" seminar we began to practically utilize the information we had learned in participating in an off-site ropes course!
Our weekly Grand Rounds Sessions begin in September and continue throughout the remainder of the academic year. These conferences cover many topics with the goal of enhancing clinical practice and knowledge in the field of psychiatry, neurology, primary care, and other fields relevant to psychiatric practice. We have presenters from many institutions throughout the United States as well as from our own faculty. There are also presentations by our residents on their areas of particular interest. Grand Rounds is held from 11:00am- 12:00pm on every Tuesday at the Behavioral Health Institute. Several of the topics presented in the recent past include Crisis Intervention, Sex Trafficking, Synthetic Drugs, Domestic Violence, and Physician Vitality. We are excited about many of our upcoming sessions such as Community Psychiatry and the DSM 5.
An important part of our continued professional growth is through our monthly Journal Club, where residents are able to select articles from current research that are of specific interest to them and evaluate current practice through evidence-based research as well as facilitate learning among their colleagues.
Our Psychiatry Department highly supports and encourages residents to attend various educational professional conferences which are held throughout the United States each year. All psychiatry residents have 4 days per residency year to be able to attend eligible conferences, and can receive financial support through reimbursement for expenses through the House Staff Office. Conference attendance is popular among the residents, often with large groups planning to travel together to many of the meetings including the following:

Stella's Blue Streak: McCartney Updates The Spring Eyeliner Trend For Pre-Fall
When it comes to beauty, Stella McCartney likes to keep things minimal. "Stella doesn't like a lot of makeup," face painter Lottie Stannard deadpanned backstage at McCartney's pre-fall presentation yesterday, adding that Stella wanted to keep the skin "super-clean and fresh," as she's wont to do. So, Stannard set to applying a light veil of MAC Face and Body Foundation, which she sponged onto well-moisturized skin that had been treated to a thorough mini-facial at the hands of complexion guru Sunday Riley. "It's been weird weather in New York and a lot of these girls are coming in from places like Sweden so they have dry, chapped skin from indoor heating and traveling," Riley explained, prompting her to mix her Good Genes, a lactic acid-laced multitasker that resurfaces as it hydrates, with her Stimulant II, an anti-redness treatment that helps soothe irritation. Riley then layered her Juno Transformative Lipid Serum with a dollop of her Skin Adrenaline, an antioxidant-rich antiaging concentrate to impart the perfect matte-radiant finish.
The green-leaning scientific skincare approach that comes along with any cameo from Riley (who recommends drinking lots of coconut water—"from Brazilian coconuts, not the ones from Thailand"—to help further fight winter dryness from the inside out) has become something of a regular occurrence at Stella's New York shows; ditto the kind of dewy skin perfection it yields. But there was one unusual sighting on the faces on display in the West Village last night. Once complexions had been perfectly polished by Riley, Stannard applied a thin stroke of MAC Fluidline gel eyeliner in Royal Wink, a bright cobalt, across the top of models' upper lash lines. "It's just a hint of color," she explained of the blue accent that she picked up from fabric in McCartney's collection. Subtle highlights across cheekbones courtesy of MAC Cream Colour Base in Pearl and a slight flush from its Cremeblend Blush in Something Special finished things off.
Staying true to the McCartney model of chic simplicity, coiffing star Sabrina Michals prepped hair with Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray and its Prep Lotion for texture. Once strands were dry, Michals raked its Sumo Wax through the ends and then gathered the lengths into a low-lying chignon. "[Stella] wanted it to look like the girls had done it themselves," Michals said of the easy style before pulling out a few pieces toward the top for added volume.

What kind of doors can Velfac design and fit for customers?
Sliding doors
Sliding doors are the perfect solution for areas of the home where space is an issue and there is no room for a door to open normally. People usually choose sliding doors to gain access to terraces, patios and balcony areas. The Velfac sliding door ranges slide securely and smoothly in any space they are fitted, 90mm towards the frame and then to the fixed sash.
Velfac's sliding doors can be personalized with different accessories, for instance with differently styled and sized handles, including their espagnolette and cup handles. Child locks are available to ensure your sliding doors provide maximum safety for your family, as well as standard locking functions. The doors also offer click vents to different specifications.
For further information on options available for your beautiful Velfac doors, including types of glazing, noise reduction features, glazing bars and colours available, contact Velfac without delay.
Patio doors
Patio doors open outwards and for security reasons are opened inside only, using an espagnolette handle. This type of handle has three types of lock within it which is reassuring to know when securing a home or business premises, typically at the rear of the property, but not exclusively so.
Velfac patio doors open at right angles and the 90 degree opening can be fixed using a friction arm, which is adjustable, depending on the angle at which the door needs to be held open. It is possible for Velfac patio doors to open a full 180 degrees, if the friction arm is released.
As with sliding doors, accessories including different sizes and styles of handles are available, including espagnolette, maxi and cup, as well as the friction arm to hold the door in place if required. As well as offering a click vent accessory, Velfac patio doors are also lockable with a child lock or standard lock.
A further option for Velfac patio doors is the double leaf design, using a French casement mullion and this allows the customer to open the patio door to its full two leaf width, with elegant and beautiful results.
It is recommended that customers interested in patio doors and the extensive range of other doors for their home or business contact the customer support team at Velfac to discuss all the options in more detail, including their requirements in terms of size, types of glass to fit, how they wish the door to open and lock, and how Velfac's specialist services can solve their individual project needs. The company also has a full catalog with specifications for each of its door products in detail.
Facade doors: flush door
The Velfac flush door is extremely durable and is considered to be an ideal external door for medium to average usage, for example as a rear door at business premises. It will also work perfectly as the front door for a home. Flush doors can be designed and fitted by Velfac to open either inwards or outwards, depending on the requirements of the customer. There are a variety of designs to choose from in the catalog, including single or two leafed doors, with different glazing designs and grooves also available, subject to personal choice.
If you want to find information about glass doors (as the Danes say Glas døre) make sure you visit the link.

I often still see many people hesitant in using social media, almost like watching them dip their toe in to see if the water is warm or not. People, who clearly want to use social media but often leave themselves out of the overall experience and instead remain in the background. It may be shyness, or increased fear, but most likely it has to do with not knowing how to spark a conversation.
