April 8: During patrol, an officer recognized a driver who they had arrested in previous weeks for driving on a suspended license. A DOL check confirmed the driver as still suspended and he was placed under arrest. The 40-year-old Blaine man was cited for DWLS/R third degree, driving without proof of insurance, and released with another mandatory court date.
April 8: Officers responded to a verbal domestic dispute. A husband was reportedly caught cheating on his wife via the internet. The husband apologized for his actions and said he would do anything to make it right. The husband left the residence and sought alternative housing for the evening to let things cool down.
April 8: An 18-year-old man was reportedly walking around the skateboard park displaying a folding knife to the public. The knife belonged to another boy who left with it prior to officer arrival. Witnesses reported that the man made no threats toward anyone nor was he acting in an aggressive manner. He was asked to leave the park and complied.
April 7: A juvenile accidentally shot another juvenile with a BB rifle. The juvenile sustained a minor injury to his left cheek. The two juveniles and their parents were warned about shooting BB rifles within the city limits and neither the victim nor his parents wished to pursue the matter criminally.
6: Officers responded to the high school for an activated
fire alarm and evacuation of students during regular
school hours. A fire, intentionally lit and left to burn
unattended in bathroom trashcan, was determined to have
been the cause of the alarm activation. The bathroom
was in a building occupied by students in classrooms
and the library on a regular school day.
A police and school district investigation led to the arrest of a 14-year-old female for arson first. The girl was booked into Whatcom County Juvenile Detention.
April 6: A citizen reported on-going problems with neighborhood children in the 500 block of E Street. They have apparently been riding bicycles onto neighbor's yards, throwing rocks, and making inappropriate gestures. The children's mother was contacted and made aware of the situation. She told officers that she would deal with the problem and apologized for her children's behavior. Officers cleared, pending any further incidents.
6: Officers responded to a report of a male individual
loitering around a business when previously asked to
leave. The person had walked down the street and was
contacted by officers. It was determined the man was
a transient who had been turned back from Canada for
having no identification, and was suffering from a mental
disorder. He had no money and said he wanted to find
work so he could buy a bus ticket back to Seattle.
An officer provided a courtesy ride to the Lighthouse Mission and cleared without further incident.
April 6: A citizen reported a suspicious male with a hooded sweatshirt loitering around a vehicle in the 700 block of G Street and walking aimlessly. Officers located the intoxicated male, who was found sitting on the curb talking on his cell phone. He was visiting family who lived in the neighborhood. It was determined that no crime had been committed and the Arizona resident was released.
April 5: A resident called to report that someone was parked on his property in the 1100 block of Peace Portal Drive. When the property owner asked the person to leave, the person told him he would leave in a minute. This was not acceptable to the property owner so he called the police. Both parties spoke with one another and worked out the problem in a civil manner.
5: A 12-year-old boy reported two older boys approached
him on foot and demanded he give them his bicycle. When
he refused, one of the boys strong-armed the bicycle
away and began riding it. An adult reportedly observed
this and yelled at the boys to give the bicycle back.
They complied and gave the victim his bicycle back.
Moments later, the two boys re-approached the victim where one of the boys handed a knife to the other boy who opened it, stood near the victim, and allegedly threatened to cause bodily harm if he didn't give up the bicycle. The victim initially gave his bike to the brandisher, but was able to grab it back and flee to his residence to call the police.
Both suspects, ages 13 and 14, were identified through investigation and arrested within an hour of the incident. They were booked into Whatcom County Juvenile Detention on robbery charges.
April 4: A citizen reported a car speeding away from their property and spraying gravel. Their concern was for children playing in the area. The driver was located and was very apologetic saying they had gotten stuck in the soft gravel and misjudged their use of the gas pedal. The driver was warned that any future activity of this kind may result in more serious consequences.
April 3: The school contacted police when a student failed to show up to class. The student had been ordered by Whatcom County Superior Court to attend school. Officers contacted the juvenile who after being warned she could face criminal charges, refused to go to school. A friend of the juvenile's father responded and took custody of the child. A report will be sent to the prosecutor for an order violation.
3: Officers responded to a disturbance between an adult
and several teenagers in the 600 block of Adelia Street.
One teenager decided to confront another younger juvenile
because he felt his sister was being harassed.
The parent of the harasser was called and came home to confront the teenagers. One of the teenagers is claiming to have been assaulted by the adult.
The incident was investigated and resolved between the parties.

By Rebecca Silverstein
Is she or isn't she? That's the question I was left wondering about Katherine Heigl's "ungratefulness" after watching her on KTLA recently. During her interview, the "Life As We Know It" actress was asked about a recent New York Times profile of her that discussed her notorious "image problem." Katherine agreed that the article was "fair," adding, "I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out where I kind of went off track and how and why and what I can do in the future to avoid that." Whether that's motivated by legitimate remorse or the fact that "Killers" totally flopped is up for grabs.
RELATED: Check out Katherine's style profile
If there's one take home message from all this, it's that Katherine is thankful for her career. (Is it just me, or is it absurd that we applaud celebrities for appreciating what they have?) "I'm really excited and grateful to be in the position that I'm in now and have the opportunity to be in movies like this movie," she said. Yeah, I'm sure she said similar things about "Grey's Anatomy," the show that plucked her from obscurity, before she dumped on her supposedly "subpar" material and then just didn't show up for work. And she probably spouted similar lines about "Knocked Up," the movie that gave her a big screen career, until she called it "sexist" in Vanity Fair. But c'mon, folks, she's grateful!
Katherine is quick to point out that in the Times, the author notes that nothing she said was "scandalous -- it just had a tone." And while she's not willing to play prim and proper all the time, she's ready to turn it down a few notches: "That's the most important thing I've learned as I get older," she says. "I can let go of the tone. I'll say what I gotta say and be honest, but maybe not so edgy." But is it really edginess that she's guilty of? Susan Sarandon, Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson -- they're all "edgy" women, but they don't have her diva reputation. What do you have to say about that, Heigl?
RELATED: Katherine: 'It's time to reevaluate and grow up'
Katherine's outspokenness has been useful though, as E! Online's Ted Casablanca points out: "We hearted the babe for standing up so vocally for pal T.R. Knight during Isaiahgate," he writes, "but unfortunately her good heart was trumped by her big mouth in a lot of situations." The difference is when her behavior is selfless versus self-absorbed; mouthing off about someone who's gay-bashing versus mouthing off about your writers.
I don't think Katherine's a bad person: I just think she got caught up in being a hot commodity. It happens. Plus, Hollywood likes to create its own villains, and Katherine fit the role so perfectly. What I give Katherine credit for, however, is owning up to her past mistakes. Whether or not it would have happened voluntarily, well, that's a different story.
RELATED: Stars who have chosen to adopt
Now that Heigl's (supposedly) outgrown the bratty, smack-talking actress role, who's going to take it on? Megan Fox, we've got our eye on you.

HOOVER, Ala. (AP) - LSU coach Les Miles says running back Jeremy Hill remains indefinitely suspended after being formally charged Monday with misdemeanor simple battery from a late April fight in a bar parking lot. Miles said Thursday at SEC media days that the Tigers' leading rusher has not been allowed in the football facility or to participate in team meetings or workouts this summer. Miles says he has visited with Hill regularly. He says the separation from teammates has been "very hard on him." Hill was already on probation after his January 2012 guilty plea to a misdemeanor stemming from his sexual relationship with a then-14-year-old girl at his high school. A state judge put Hill under a daily curfew from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. He ran for 755 yards and 12 touchdowns as a freshman.(Copyright 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

I dare you to watch without a box of tissues.

Westman Marine puts finishing touches on Alaska seiner
Published on Thu, May 14, 2009
Read More
Photo and story by Jack Kintner
"It's nice to see a new state-of-the-art Alaska Limit seiner," said Bob Gudmundson of Westman Marine as he stood back to admire the 58-foot steel hulled Intangible taking shape in his yard. "There was a 20 year stretch where not many new fishing boats were made," he said.
But as with land-based businesses that work on their infrastructure during times of economic slow-down, owner and skipper Eric Rosvold of Petersburg, Alaska, is building the new vessel despite fish prices that have dropped right along with other commodities in the current recession.
"It wasn't an easy one to build because of the shape and the unusually strong framing," said yard foreman Marv Hansen, who added that he and Gudmundson have built approximately 50 to 60 large boats together. "They take about 9 to 18 months to complete," he said.
Intangible will take about 13 months from laying the steel keel to a finished product, Gudmundson said. The architect was Hal Hockema of Hockema and Whalen Associates of Seattle. Basic dimensions are 58 feet (length) by 25 feet (beam) by 11 feet (draught), unusual in that it's five to seven feet wider than other Alaska limit hulls, all of which must be no longer than 58 feet by state law. "That means the only way to get a bigger boat is to make it wider," Gudmundson said, "and even though that may not seem like a lot, increasing a boat's dimensions increases its inner cubic volume, so that's actually a lot more space below for fish." The boat will gross out at more than 200 tons.
The hull has two separate holds so it can store two different kinds of fish in the same run without mixing them. It has a bulb on the bow and a platform wing in the stern beneath the rudder both of which serve to add stability as the boat's designed for some of the roughest water conditions fishers ever face, the winter-time crab fishery in Bristol Bay.
The bulb in the bow is for stability but can also hold 2,000 gallons of water, or about ten tons, plus another 9,000 gallons of diesel fuel (roughly 657,000 pounds) for the single 660 Cummins that powers the single-screw boat to a cruise speed of about eight knots.
"She will do about 11 or 12 at full throttle," Hansen said, "but that takes about 35 gallons an hour. Reducing that a little to a cruise setting cuts consumption in half."
The bridge is separated into a large navigation area that has a standard ship's wheel mounted on the front bulkhead, which is used only as a back-up, and a smaller captain's station on the starboard side that features four large "glass cockpit" computer screens that can show everything from fish and the sea bottom below to weather and charts, engine information, autopilot settings and even the ball game, Gudmundson said.
Three levers are set between two of the screens, a joystick to control the bow thruster, a horizontal lever to steer with and a vertical lever for the throttle. All the information on any of the four screens can be relayed to a large flat screen TV in the galley that Rosvold can use to navigate the ship as well, either while making coffee or through a window when operating from the deck just aft of the galley while his crew is harvesting fish, be it salmon, black cod, halibut or king crab. Radar Marine of Bellingham supplied the electronics, Rasmussen Marine Electric of Ferndale did the wiring and Tri-County Diesel Marine of Bellingham supplied the engines, one for the boat, one as a generator and one to pump refrigerated sea water through the holds to keep the catch cold.
Stability is a function not only of the protruding bulb on the bow and the rear wing but also of weight distribution. "We have four-inch thick steel on the bottom of the hull," Gudmundson said, "and didn't need any concrete for ballast when stability tests were run."
The high wear areas are stainless steel and the house, or superstructure, is aluminum, another way to reduce weight up high to reduce the rolling momentum. Since steel and aluminum together set up an electric current that destroys them in marine applications, they must be insulated. "In the old days we tried to insulate the bolts that tied them together but eventually they just gave out. Now we use Data-Clad sheets that are aluminum on one side and steel on the other. They're explosively joined together so that no moisture can come between them to support the electrolysis."
Such sheets are used like gaskets wherever steel and aluminum would otherwise come into contact.
Gudmundson said he hopes to launch Intangible in a couple of weeks, "when we can get her painted. She'll be gray, black and trimmed in red."

On the Road to Forever

I took a few days off last week, joining my siblings and other family members for a little reunion. My elder sister organized it and, for a change, we got to enjoy one another in a different way than in the past 10 years or so; no one was sick, nor were we about to bury a loved one. It seems my sister was always tending to logistics of the situation that brought us together and never had the time to relax and just be herself.
Well, in a roundabout way, she suggested we leave our problems at home and come to enjoy a walk down memory lane as a family and friends. She had inherited all the stuff our parents had held dear to them, mostly photos, and as we went through them, we even discovered things about the family we never knew.
It was a great four days together and I enjoyed myself, except for one thing.
You'd think at my age I would at least know to watch where I'm going, especially in a strange environment. While spending the afternoon at my nephew's house, I was walking one way and looking another, and when I decided it was time to check my bearings, I turned to look and, wham! I walked straight into a spiral stairway, bustin' my head open.
I did as good a job as any 10-year-old could and panic spread throughout the house like a wildfire. I had no intention of sitting for hours in a Houston hospital emergency room waiting for stitches, so talked my brother, a retired Navy corpsman and civilian physician's assistant, into closing and patching the wound the best he could. Yeah, leave it up to me to liven up the party.
Leaving home was a little nerve-wracking, as we've been experiencing a rash of burglaries in the area, but I left the homestead in the hands of the Lord, which worked out just fine. Everything was just as we left it, still no rain, and the politicians are still out for themselves.
One more of my predictions came to fruition. TV's "America's Got Talent" contestant Landau Eugene Murphy Jr. won the top prize and well deserved it. "Silhouettes" came in second, but "iLuminate," in third place, was a much better presentation for me.
Nevertheless, the show is nutty, goofy, and great, just what the typical American family needs to be watching as an alternative to deceit, violence, and spit-in-the-Lord's-eye shows. I personally refuse to watch most of what's on the four major networks. Pay TV was laughable in the '60s, but soul-saving in this present day.
[James 4: 13 - 5: 6] In the book, Once Blind -- The Life of John Newton by Kay Marshall Storm, John perceived slave trading a sin and feared God's wrath upon England because of it. In his fight to abolish slave trading, standing on his own foundation of repentance and belief in God's Word, John Newton had this warning for the Parliament of his day: "It is righteousness that exalts a nation, and wickedness is the present reproach, and will, sooner or later, unless repentance intervene, prove the ruin of any people."
We need to push the ACLU and like organizations attempting to abolish Christianity in this country aside. Instead of covering up references to God and country in Washington and other capitals, we ought to be polishing them so they gleam in the eyes of our elected officials reminding them of how this country was born and who is truly maintaining her presence in the world.
If no intervening of repentance is forthcoming, our grandchildren will not enjoy our freedoms. Our situation is not hopeless if put in the hands of God.
"God saved me so that people would look at me and say, 'If God could save John Newton (or insert your name), He can save anyone." Amen.

As Pinarello's most exotic bike yet, the new Dogma incorporates a unique, asymmetrical Toryaca 60HM1K carbon frame through a process where each side of the bike is constructed independently. This process is meant to equalize load and torque distribution throughout the frame and fork without affecting ride quality. Our riders consistently marveled at the bike's handling and road feel.

Suppose i should give you guys a bit of an update. Fair bit has happened but not sure if i can remember all of it. Played a lot of Minecraft which was fun. Might do a more detailed post about it and include a video or some pics of my house or maybe just the mine i've been digging. Also been reading a lot which is good. Haven't read that much in ages so i'm glad i'm getting back into it. Still focussing on my fantasy books though. Went to see my good friend Patti yesterday for her birthday which was awesome. We just spent the day wandering around Liverpool town centre chatting and chilling. Got some nice food at pizza hut and bought a few books from Waterstones. Then she had to head off and catch her train back down to Leamington and i went and got the coach back here and had absolutely gorgeous pork and rhubarb stir fry cooked by my bro Jay (lark86 on here i think). All in all a fun and productive few days i suppose. Also: CANNOT WAIT TO GO TO ARRAN IN 2 DAYS!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D
So i've been playing this game minecraft a lot. If you haven't heard about it then check it out here: www.minecraft.net It's a really awesome game but i cant really be bothered explaining a lot about it to you atm. Check out the video on the main page up there and seriously consider buying it. There's loads of videos on youtube too. It's incredibly fun and addicting (it's often referred to as Minecrack i believe).
Anyway i came up with this idea to build an arena on the multiplayer server i go on where people can do battle. Now cos the server's mainly a construction server it's set to peaceful so people can't harm each other but you can still die by falling a long way or falling into lava. So some people came up with the idea of having a pit full of lava and having a single layer of easily destroyable material over the top of it. Then two people walk onto this layer of material with spades and try to dig the material out from underneath the other person so they fall into the lava and die. i was gonna build a really big floating arena with spectator stands and a massive lava-fall underneath it where other users of the server could go to do battle/watch people doing battle. It would have looked awesome (least i imagine it would) but then i came across a problem.
The problem is with multiplayer servers on minecraft as a whole. If you gets lots of people doing lots of stuff on the servers then they start to slow down and get lag. This means it takes a while for any changes other people make to the server to make it to everyone else on the server i.e. someone digs a block out but due to lag their opponent doesn't see it straight away and walks over where it was then the server catches up and removes the block and suddenly the person is falling into the lava and losing. Not very fair and there's no easy way to get around it other than getting a faster server (which is not up to me) I think i'm gonna try building the arena anyway just so it at least looks cool even if it cant be used. This may take a while as i plan on having a pit to the bottom of the map beneath my arena and that's a lot of digging.
Anyway time to end this oddly long post. Have a nice day all. Sun is shining here and garden looks beautiful. :)

Yeah. This is very important and should be corrected. If you stand in the small circles, you're dead. What is more, you need to know when to jump on the drift (if you do it too early, you die; if you do it too late, you're frozen). And don't forget to free every person in the ice block before dps-ing the boss again. The NPC really help and their damage done is nice.
As someone mentioned above, there was also no word about the storm buff, which has a huge impact on the fight. When you get it, move to your melee group so more people can benefit from it. It looks like Mage's Arcane Power.
Apart from these issues, it's a good article, although I hoped for more bosses each time.

The 22 people who sort donations, price items and help customers each week at Golden Valley's New To You Thriftique don't get paid a dime.
The volunteers are mothers, fathers, grandmothers and grandfathers to children who attend Calvin Christian Schools—a private chain of schools with a high school in and Kindergarten through eighth grade schools in and Blaine.
All of the shop's proceeds go toward a tuition scholarship fund at Calvin Christian Schools.

'Blessings Filter Out'
"During the economic downturn, in 2008, our school's enrollment really dropped," Christine Weiss, co-chair of the store, said. "They decided to open the store as a way to allow students to stay enrolled, rather than being forced to move to another school."
New To You Thriftique gets donations from , the , Calvin Christian Schools campuses, and a few other unlikely places.
Jeff Belleau, a Golden Valley resident and owner of Caring Transitions of Minneapolis, has been donating items from estate sales to the thrift store since its opening.
"I knew that a lot of my clients would appreciate a donation that was going to benefit Christian schools," Belleau said. "I wanted to focus on developing a relationship with a Golden Valley business. They are a wonderful group of people."
Beth Heaton, who runs the shop alongside Weiss, said that she feels blessed to be volunteering at the store. "We work here because we want to," Heaton said. "We get to see the blessings filter out of this place. It's really amazing."
Keeping Prices Low
As co-chairs of the thrift shop board, Weiss and Heaton spend roughly 20 hours a week working at New To You Thriftique. Weiss, who is also an interior designer for Martha O'Hara Interiors, made it her mission to keep the thrift shop prices low.
"Before we opened, I drove down what I call the 'thrift store strip' in Golden Valley and gathered pricing information," Weiss said, referring to the many thrift stores on Winetka Avenue. "We're competitive, especially in clothing."
New To You Thriftique holds promotions on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, which include reduced prices on clothing, accessories, books and dvds. And while half-off necklaces and kids clothes attract shoppers, Thriftique volunteers pride themselves on their ability to give back.
'Part of Family'
"Last week, a woman came in here who had lost her home in a fire," Heaton, explained. "We decided to help her and we donated items to her."
Giving, in general, is a well-known concept to the volunteers that work at the sore.
"We really appreciate the sense of community here in Golden Valley," Weiss said. "Beth and I don't live here, but we feel like we are totally part of the family. Everyone is so supportive."

It looks like supply and discount generic viagra demand is working out in the consumers' favor when it comes to lithium-ion batteries. Production has been ramping up for the batteries as more electric cars go into production and that has led to an oversupply that may just keep piling up. Analysts are predicting a price drop of between 19 and 25 percent by the end of the viagra no prescription canada year -- a slash that could also spell cheaper electric cars in the very near future.
Battery makers in Japan and Korea, like Samsung and Panasonic, account for 75 percent of the world's production, and they've been competing to get the largest share of a market that could triple over the next six years. This production and pricing war has created a glut of batteries and, luckily for consumers, a falling price.
Many first generation electric vehicles are going on sale in the coming months. I won't be surprised if the second generations, much like we've seen with later generation hybrids, include a cheaper price tag.

Its a welcome trend.But i have always wondered which has lesser impact on the environment. EVs or hybridS?? Sure electric cars have zero emissions, but their range is much lesser than hybrids.That means they are less energy efficient than hybrids....(total energy spent to travel a mile is much more for these than hybrids). And the lesser the energy efficient a vehicle is the cialis canadian pharmacy more electricity is buy now levitra needed to power it ,that means more coal needs to be burned.
Or am i thinking too much into it?? :-)

However, that isn't the same as efficiency. A good electric car should be able to travel at least 4 or 5 miles on one kWH of energy. Even at 60 MPG, hybrids are getting less than that.
Now, the overall picture is harder to online pfizer viagra calculate because electric cars have losses outside the battery storage (energy generation, transmission, charger losses). However, the same can be said for making fuel too.
If you believe the market is efficient, you can do the analysis with dollars. An electric car that gets 5 miles per kWH costs 3 cents per mile to operate (energy only) if electricity costs 15 cents per kWH.
A hybrid that gets 60 MPG costs 5 cents per mile to operate (energy only) if gas costs $3.00 per gallon.
Personally, I don't believe the markets are that accurate. Too many subsidies and http://lifeinabundance.org/price-of-viagra speculators on both sides.

The school's main focus is on child interaction and helping them adjust to one another socially. By RYAN JONES correspondent 1 The Signpost After their 6-year-old son hurled a wooden chair in fury, causing a glass door to shatter, the boy's parents visited the Weber County Mental Health Center in search of the cause. Both parents appeared calm and healthy until Craig Campbell, professor of child and family studies at Weber State University, discovered similar characteristics displayed by the child's father. Only weeks before, the father threw the family's dinnerware to the floor and heaved an entire table out the same glass door because his wife intentionally cooked pot roast, a meal he despised. Campbell discussed the causes and steps to prevent problems like this from unconsciously occurring. The Nontraditional Student Center sponsored a 90-minute workshop as one of the 20 activities they are involved with this semester. The topic, managing children's aggression, was requested by students who attended previous workshops. Campbell discussed how ineffective parenting is often the core cause of children's anger and aggression. He shared many examples to describe the importance of establishing a healthy developmental environment for a child. Descriptive worksheets and See Aggression page 1 1 By HEATHER HUNT-WOOD asst. news editor The Signpost In January, Weber State University graduate Cameron Eggertz and WSU student Jeremy Barnum will go to Washington, D.C. to take the foreign service oral exam. Last April, both Eggertz and Barnum passed the rigorous day-long written exam, the first step in the process to becoming a foreign service officer for the U.S. Department of State. "It is remarkable for college graduates like Cameron or undergraduates like Jeremy to pass the written test the first time," said WSU political science associate professor Nancy Haanstad. Haanstad said the most successful applicants of the exam hold advanced degrees and often don't pass it until their third try. Eggertz and Bamum's first-time success can be attributed to the preparation they received during the 2004 fall semester when they were enrolled in a foreign service study group taught by Haanstad. The study group offers students one credit hour of Individual Projects in Political Science. "Students create a portfolio of their work from our weekly meeting in which they take practice tests and work through the recommended reading list," Haanstad said. "There is one required book published by the "Anyone considering a career in the federal government would be well served by taking the class." Jeremy Barnum, WSU student foreign service." The class is offered again next fall semester and any interested WSU students can sign up. Barnum said he felt well prepared for the written exam thanks to Haanstad's class. "Anyone considering a career in the federal government would be well served by taking the class," Barnum said. "The class demystifies the hiring process and encourages students to become more aware of the world and how our country interacts with foreign nations." The mission statement for the U.S. Department of State, as stated on its Web site, is "to create a more secure, democratic, and prosperous world for the benefit of the American people and the international community." Haanstad said the complex interdependence of the 21st century highlights die need for highly informed and skilled U.S. foreign service officers.

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Liberman Proposes a New Commandment About Odds Ratios
No, let's make it a commandment: Thou Shalt Not Report Odds Ratios. In fact, I'd like to suggest that any journalist who reports an odds ratio as if it were a relative risk should be fired sent back to school.Liberman puts up a thoroughly readable explanation of one of my recent pet peeves and takes readers through a shocking headline report to show how an arithmetical blunder led to the dissemination of a shocking 60% attention-grabber that should have been reported (more accurately) as the less startling 93.5%.
Many of you probably don't know what I'm talking about -- that's why dozens of science journalists disobey this commandment every week. But the basic concepts are simple, and nothing more than simple arithmetic is required to understand them.
Liberman includes further discussion and provides some very informative links to allow for further exploration and understanding.
If you have ever wanted to learn about accurate reporting and odds ratios, grab this opportunity, and estimate for yourself just how pleased you were that you did.

6 ways ACA is changing mental health coverage
Most people who need such services aren't getting them. Here's how Obamacare tackles the issue.
This post comes from Beth Braverman at partner site The Fiscal Times.
America's inadequate mental health care was thrust into the spotlight again last week, following the stabbing of Virginia State Sen. Creigh Deeds by his mentally ill son.
The younger Deeds, who committed suicide after the attack, had undergone a psychiatric evaluation but was turned away by a local hospital due to a lack of space. Mental health experts say that a dearth of adequate services, as well as historically poor coverage by private insurers, has left millions of mentally ill individuals without the resources they need.
Americans spend $2.6 trillion a year on health care, but only a small fraction of that currently goes to treating those who suffer from psychological and mental health problems or from drug and alcohol addiction. Meanwhile, need is growing, as Americans deal with the emotional fallout of the Great Recession, veterans and their families struggle with their return to civilian life, and older Americans confront growing rates of depression.
Suicide claims the lives of nearly 30,000 Americans each year. Still, the majority of people who need services don't get treatment. More than 60 percent of adults with a diagnosable disorder and 70 percent of children do not receive mental health services, according to a 2011 analysis by the Kaiser Family Foundation.
The passage of Obamacare has brought sweeping changes that will make coverage of mental health and drug treatment one of the "10 essential health benefits" that all insurers must offer. Insurers, patient advocates and state regulators are still hammering out specifics, but critics contend it will lead to an even greater shortage of services and that it doesn't do enough to address issues specific to treating the mentally ill. Many industry experts also aren't sure what changes in the field of mental health will even be needed as new challenges arise.
"The reality is that the Affordable Care Act is not going to solve all of our health care problems, either for physical or mental health," said Ron Honberg, the national director for policy and legal affairs at the National Alliance on Mental Illness. "People are still going to struggle to get everything covered that they need to, but the inclusion of mental health care in this law is a huge step forward."
Here are six ways mental health coverage is changing under Obamacare:
1. Pre-existing conditions are now covered
Just as cancer survivors and diabetics are now guaranteed coverage under the new law, so, too, are those who have previously been diagnosed with chronic mental illnesses like depression or schizophrenia. One in four Americans suffers from a diagnosable mental disorder, with about 10 percent having a more serious mood disorder, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.
2. Insurance plans must offer parity of mental and physical health coverage
It's been more than five years since President George W. Bush passed the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equality Act, requiring insurers to provide mental health care coverage comparable to their physical health care coverage. But experts say the law went largely unenforced until passage of the Affordable Care Act.
Now, if an insurer covers a certain number of visits to the doctor and a certain length of in-patient treatment for physical health, it must offer the same for mental health care.
"Where the law doesn't go far enough is in support service and''wrap around' services that are needed in the treatment of mental health," said Carolyn Wolff, senior partner and director of the mental health law practice at Abrams Fensterman in New York. "There's no coverage for residential housing, or case management needed for certain treatment."
3. There are limits on out-of-pocket spending
Even with insurance coverage, the out-of-pocket costs of in-house treatment can add up: The cost of in-patient treatment for the most severely ill mental health patients can quickly reach thousands of dollars. However, the Affordable Care Act limits total out-of-pocket spending at $6,350 for individuals and $12,700 for families starting in 2014 for "medically necessary treatment." Currently, a third of plans available on the individual market have out-of-pocket costs exceeding that limit, according to a study by HealthPocket.
4. Insurers must cover prescription drugs
Just as with mental health care, prescription drug coverage is an essential health benefit required under Obamacare. However, the specifics of such coverage vary by plan, with some insurers offering different types of coverage for "preferred" drugs, generics, or "specialty" drugs. For patients who regularly take a prescription medication to treat mental illness, it's important to check the insurer's formulary to find out exactly what's covered.
"As with a health condition, switching among branded drugs, as well as switching among generic drugs, may or may not be effective, and that's a decision that should be made in consultation with a physician," said Judith Bentkover, a professor of health services, policy and practice at Brown University.
5. More people are getting treatment
Insurers began guaranteeing mental health and substance abuse treatment in 2011, and the number of people seeking such coverage skyrocketed. Substance abuse admissions increased 20 percent in 2011 among people younger than 65, and mental health admissions increased 6 percent, according to the Healthcare Cost Institute. (By comparison, medical/surgical admissions fell 2.3 percent.)
Such usage is expected to grow even further as more consumers have access to insurance under Obamacare and learn that mental health treatment is covered. More than 32 million Americans will gain access to mental health and addition coverage under the law, and another 30 million who currently have coverage will gain parity protection, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
6. The already strained system isn't keeping up
As the Deeds case shows, there's already a shortage of psychiatric hospitals and psychiatric services to meet the country's needs, due to years of government cutbacks in mental health spending. There are only enough psychiatrists available to meet the needs of 53 percent of those who need services, with many more severe shortages in rural areas, according to an analysis by the Kaiser Foundation. Experts fear that as more people enter the system seeking help for mental health and substance abuse issues, the relative scarcity of providers will only get worse.

I would agree to pay for Obammy's messiah complex and libtardation treatment if he would check into an in-patient facilty and out of the WH for the rest of his term. We all know he is so sick that it would take that long and this solution would help both him and the country.
