Charlottesville Fire DepartmentMEDIA RELEASE
City of Charlottesville Fire units were dispatched at approximately 3:20 PM to 708 Stonehenge Avenue for the report of smoke in structure.
Upon arrival, units discovered light smoke showing from the structure. After further investigation, a small fire in the basement was discovered. The fire originated from cardboard that was under a space heater in the basement.
The fire was quickly extinguished with no extension to the residence. The residence was ventilated by units on scene. The fire was investigated by the City Fire Marshal's office.
The rapid response and quick actions of the units on scene prevented this from being a larger incident. There were no injuries to civilians or firefighters on the scene. The residence is still able to be occupied by the owner.

Swing of the Quad Cities manager Keith Mitchell didn't have to say a word to his team, they knew the magnitude of Sunday's series finale against the Cedar Rapids Kernels.
Sitting three games out of a possible first-half playoff spot in the Midwest League with just a week remaining in the half, it was indeed a must-win afternoon for the Swing.
They got the win they had to have, shutting out the Kernels 2-0 in front of 1,770 at John O'Donnell Stadium.
"I'm not a manager who puts extra pressure on his players," Mitchell said. "I just wanted them to go out and play the way we have all season."
Mitchell didn't say anything, but his players knew.
Starting pitcher Tyler Herron worked a team season-high six innings, shutting the Kernels down on just three singles. He knew the pressure was on his shoulders.
"For sure, this was a game we had to win," Herron said. "We would really like to get that second-place spot now and not have the pressure in the second half. I knew a lot rested on how I threw in this one."
The teams QC is chasing for the playoff spots -- Beloit and Clinton -- both won Sunday, so the Swing (35-27) enter the final seven days of the half trailing Beloit by 3.5 and Clinton by 3 full games.
"We lost the first three games of this series (to Cedar Rapids) and we had to get at least this one," QC outfielder Daryl Jones said. "It's going to be close, but I have confidence we can catch one of the teams ahead of us."
The Swing battle last-place Wisconsin the next four days and then wrap up the half with a three-game homestand against Beloit.
In a scoreless tie Sunday, Jones led off the fifth with his third hit of the game and then stole his second base of the afternoon. With two outs, Chris Grossman ripped an RBI single to center to make it 1-0.
QC added a run in the sixth when Luke Gorsett lined a double to left, moved to third on a grounder and raced home on Willian Sandoval's perfectly placed safety squeeze bunt.
"We got just enough clutch hits," Mitchell said, "but this was was all about the pitching. Herron was great and (Brad) Furnish finished up strong."
Furnish worked the final three innings, allowing an infield single and striking out four to pick up his second save of the season.

Data Updates
Keeping you up to date on the latest data releases.
September 2014
- 03.09.2012
- International Trade
- In January, the U.S. trade deficit expanded by $2.2 billion to −$52.6 billion, up from December's revised −$50.4 billion (−$48.8 billion, previously). January's −$52.6 billion deficit came in higher than consensus forecasts, which predicted a −$49.0 billion deficit. Additionally, January's deficit is the largest level since October 2008. Both imports and exports saw major gains, with imports jumping $4.7 billion to a record high of $233.4 billion and exports adding $2.6 billion to total $180.8 billion. Although the increase in trade activity is a positive sign for U.S. consumption and production, if import growth continues to outpace export growth in the coming months, the trade deficit could then negatively impact GDP in the first quarter of 2012. On a year-over-year basis, imports grew by 8.3 percent, a deceleration from double digits gains seen throughout all of 2010 and 2011. Exports advanced 7.7 percent, down remarkably from the fourth quarter average of 10.4 percent yearly gains.

Desert Moon Winery can now call the Denver-area home
Introducing Denver's newest winery: Desert Moon Vineyards. What's that you say? Desert Moon has been around since 2002. Yup, but now it is reinventing itself on the Front Range. After years of operating the vineyard, tasting room and winery, Desert Moon shifted the latter two parts of the operation to Englewood.
With its grand opening May 1-2, Desert Moon will officially jump on the ever crowded Front Range wine wagon — and trail. Garfield Estates, Cottonwood Cellars and Verso Cellars have all opened up tasting rooms in the Mile High City recently, joining the growing number of full-scale wineries already in operation.
The thought seems that Denver has a whole lot more sophisticated wine palates than the Western Slope. Desert Moon picked its spot in Englewood near the Centennial Airport based on sheer demand. There just aren't a whole lot of Colorado wine options south of Denver.
"By moving the winery to the front-range, we are able to build relationships with our community. southeast Denver needs its very own winery," says Debra Ray, Desert Moon owner and winemaker.
The 2,000 square food tasting room will be the only public tasting room in the area, although Dithyramb Winery operates just around the corner out of suburban home and offers private tours.
Desert Moon will still tend to its 10 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot vines on Orchard Mesa in Palisade that were planted in 2002, offering tours and tastings by appointment. There's talk of a satellite tasting room there, too. The farmhouse on the Palisade property is being renovated into a vineyard-style bed and breakfast.
Desert Moon;s winery has been in full operation since January, and it has taken several months to get the tasting room ready for the May 1-2 party that will feature wine tastings, tours, music and food.

Grand opening, noon, May 1-2, Desert Moon Vineyards, 12656 E. Jamison Place, #12, Englewood, 303-990-9463

CARMEL, IN — Legacy Fund of Hamilton County, an affiliate of the Central Indiana Community Foundation, awarded $103,000 in grants and $6,800 in Legacy Fund Community Scholarships on March 12, 2014.
The grants and scholarships were made possible by Legacy Fund's Community Endowment Fund, and also The Sheridan Fund and The Noblesville Fund, which contributed $2,000 and $5,000 respectively to city-specific grants.

Created in 2009 by the City of Westfield, the Youth Assistance Program was designed not only to keep kids out of the juvenile justice system through early intervention, but also to help them develop critical skills and supports that will lead to productive lives in their community. Legacy Fund and The Estridge Family Trust Foundation have awarded more than $120,000 to the program since 2011.
The LINK Youth Advisory Council was created in 2002 by Legacy Fund to give Hamilton County youth an opportunity to be directly involved in their community and to inspire leadership in high school students through service, grantmaking and educational opportunities.

Thirty applications were submitted for the scholarships and were reviewed by a Scholarship Selection Committee composed of Legacy Fund Board members and community members between January 21st and February 5th, 2014. Four students were selected as Legacy Fund Community Scholarship recipients.
"In keeping with Legacy Fund's longtime mission, these grants are meant to support organizations addressing critical issues within our community," said Corby D. Thompson, board chair, Legacy Fund.

This has been the bird of choice for the past five Thanksgivings in my family. My picky little brother specially requests that I make no changes to "The Turkey". Note: Make sure to have plenty of gravy to go around, as it complements this recipe perfectly.
Blast Furnace-Roasted Turkey
Although this turkey is cooked at an unusually high temperature (hence, the term "blast furnace"), you'll be amazed how tender and juicy it is. The skin blackens somewhat, but it is discarded. The rock-salt layer in the roasting pan cuts down on any grease that may splash in the over. Surprisingly, the salt doesn't add any sodium to the recipe.

Egypt decree that sparked protests cancelled
Billed as a "national dialogue", the meeting was boycotted by his main rivals and had little credibility among protesters in the most populous Arab nation.
December 9, 2012 1:40 by Reuters
Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi has cancelled a decree that gave him sweeping powers and sparked violent unrest but did not delay this month's referendum on a new constitution that was a major demand of his opponents.
Islamist supporters of Mursi have insisted the referendum should go ahead on time on Dec. 15, saying it is needed to complete a democratic transition still incomplete after autocrat Hosni Mubarak's overthrow 22 months ago.
Ahmed Said, a leading member of the main opposition National Salvation Front said the decision to press ahead with the referendum was "shocking" and would deepen a political crisis.
"It is making things a lot worse," Said, head of the liberal Free Egyptians Party, told Reuters. "I cannot imagine that after all this they want to pass a constitution that does not represent all Egyptians." He said the Front would meet later on Sunday to give a formal response.
The announcement that Mursi had scrapped his Nov. 22 decree followed talks on Saturday that ran into the night at his presidential palace. Billed as a "national dialogue", the meeting was boycotted by his main rivals and had little credibility among protesters in the most populous Arab nation.
The April 6 movement, which helped galvanise street protests against Mubarak, said in a statement about the outcome of Saturday's talks: "What happened is manipulation and a continuation of deception in the name of law and legitimacy."
The constitution was fast-tracked through an assembly led by Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists. Liberals and others walked out, saying their voices were not being heard.
"A constitution without consensus cannot go to a referendum," said Hermes Fawzi, 28, a protester camped with dozens of others outside the presidential palace. "It's not logical that just one part of society makes the constitution."
Nearby were tanks and military vehicles of the Republican Guards positioned there to protect the palace after clashes in the past week between Islamists and their rivals killed seven people and injured about 350.
The military, which led Egypt through a turbulent interim period after Mubarak fell, stepped into the crisis on Saturday to tell feuding factions that dialogue was essential to avoid "catastrophe." But a military source said this was not a prelude to the army retaking control of Egypt or the streets.
After Saturday's talks, Mursi issued a new decree in which the first article "cancels the constitutional declaration" announced on Nov. 22, the spokesman for the dialogue, Mohamed Selim al-Awa, told a news conference held around midnight.
But he said the constitutional referendum would go ahead anyway next Saturday, adding that although those at the meeting discussed a postponement, there were legal obstacles to a delay.
The political turmoil has exposed deep rifts in the nation of 83 million between Islamists, who were suppressed for decades, and their rivals, who fear religious conservatives want to squeeze out other voices and restrict social freedoms. Many Egyptian just crave stability and economic recovery.
Islamists and more liberal-minded opponents have each drawn tens of thousands of supporters to the streets in rival rallies since the Nov. 22 decree. Mursi's opponents have chanted for his downfall while Islamists have said there is a conspiracy to bring down the nation's first freely elected president.

There's no gentle way to put it: People who give in to racism and prejudice may simply be dumb, according to a new study that is bound to stir public controversy.
The research finds that children with low intelligence are more likely to hold prejudiced attitudes as adults. These findings point to a vicious cycle, according to lead researcher Gordon Hodson, a psychologist at Brock University in Ontario. Low-intelligence adults tend to gravitate toward socially conservative ideologies, the study found. Those ideologies, in turn, stress hierarchy and resistance to change, attitudes that can contribute to prejudice, Hodson wrote in an email to LiveScience.
"Prejudice is extremely complex and multifaceted, making it critical that any factorscontributing to bias are uncovered and understood," he said.
Controversy ahead
The findings combine three hot-button topics.
"They've pulled off the trifecta of controversial topics," said Brian Nosek, a social and cognitive psychologist at the University of Virginia who was not involved in the study. "When one selects intelligence, political ideology and racism and looks at any of the relationships between those three variables, it's bound to upset somebody."
Polling data and social and political science research do show that prejudice is more common in those who hold right-wing ideals that those of other political persuasions, Nosek told LiveScience. [7 Thoughts That Are Bad For You]
"The unique contribution here is trying to make some progress on the most challenging aspect of this," Nosek said, referring to the new study. "It's not that a relationship like that exists, but why it exists."

It is pretty obvious without any great study.
Conservative thinking tends to be selfish, it is afraid of change and strives to avoid it, it needs answers to fill the gaps.
Liberal thinking is more empathetic, it recognises the inevitability of change, and accepts there are some things we don't know.
Massive generalisation so it's only half true. There are always exceptions.
I don't know how biased this article may or may not be, but I would be careful of generalizing any political ideology, not for the sake of fear of insulting someone, but for the sake of just sounding like your closed-minded or extremely biased. There are (obviously) lots of social issues with conservative ideologies, but that is only part of the ideology. I think it would be best for the author to make sure to identify the specific aspects of conservatism that correlate with IQ and such. Also, I can not help but think of when it was Liberals who strongly wanted slavery during the mid-1800's. They should probably discuss trends in political-ideological changes of populations. Maybe the majority of "stupid" people change political spectrums over time?

TY @chriswilcox44 from Boston #Celtics for visiting @hearts4izzy in hospital today. A wonderful, selfless, classy gesture to do. — James Lacerenza (@JamesOnWheels) October 22, 2012 Against all odds, the Celtics had 2 players miss last season due to open heart surgery. Jeff Green and Chris Wilcox are scar buddies now and they will forever be linked by that shared experience. They are both back with the Celtics this season and thankful for another chance to play the game they love with the Celtics. These two guys are not just good basketball players, they are great people. In August we posted the story about Chris Wilcox taking a truck load of supplies to a food bank to help out. Earlier this month we posted about Jeff Green hosting young heart patients at the Garden and sharing his story with them. Today, we have yet another story about Chris giving back to the community. Chris was at Children's Hospital in Boston visiting with young heart patients. I'm proud to have these two guys on the Celtics. They are definitely good people. A true #heart hero!

This Saturday is the first Scootenanny at The Historic Scoot Inn in East Austin. Neon Indian (DJ set) and The Octopus Project headline the event which runs from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Also performing is Night Drive, Ishi, Holiday Mountain, The Black and White Years, Orthy, Corduroi, Wrestlers and AJ Vincent. With a list of great, local bands like that, Scootenanny looks to be an uber-sized danceparty.
The Octopus Project recently completed a successful tour of Europe on the heels of winning a Sundance Film Festival Jury Award for Musical Score to acclaimed flim, "Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter." The group is known for extremely good visual performances to accompany some of the best electro-pop being made right now. The fact that the band calls Austin home means lucky fans like you get to see them right in your own backyard.
Neon Indian is a project of Denton musician Alan Palomo who fronts the synthpop act that became the indie music press darling of the decade. Rolling Stone called the band one of the hottest acts of the year in 2010. Saturday will be a DJ set but expect something more than the standard electro-dance music from the performance. Neon Indian reflect the great music scene that exists around Denton and the University of North Texas.
The rest of the bands on the bill are solid. Orthy just opened for Holy Ghost! last week at ACL Live at the Myspace sponsored X Games opening party and played well. We are looking forward to another set from Ian Orth's vaguely 80's synth-pop band. Holiday Mountain has been making a name for themselves since emerging onto the Austin music landscape.
Overall the lineup is worth more than the $30 tickets cost. For an extra $15 you can be a VIP and enjoy an exclusive air-conditioned room, preferred viewing area and swag like T-shirts and skee-ball. Tickets are still available for purchase online. Or head to Waterloo Records, End of An Ear or Whomp Smoke Shop for hard tickets and no service fees.

Four-year-olds and high school students may not have the same schedule, but they are in the same building at Bishop Heelan Catholic Schools.
"We can see them walking around the halls now, and we can talk to them and interact with them. It's just sort of a new presence at the school that we've never really had before," Bishop Heelan Junior Joe Verschoor said.
Kiddie Crusaders, also known as Sacred Heart Preschool, is a new program that opened this year in Heelan because there was no space at the Sacred Heart building in Riverside.
"We had an ICN room, it's kind of like a cable classroom that we didn't use very often, it was kind of outdated. It's in a real nice area of the building. It's centrally air conditioned and I kind of just offered up that as a reasonable alternative for a preschool room," Bishop Heelan Principal Christian Bork said.
"Everyone here has been so welcoming to the kids, it's just been a great environment," Preschool Teacher Jenny Petty said.
And while there may be an age difference, Bork said he had no concerns about the youngsters fitting in.
"I knew that they'd fit in great. We have such an outstanding student population, that I knew that they would embrace them," Bork said.
Some Heelan High School students said they like running into the preschoolers in the hallway and it keeps them on their best behavior.
"They have the advantage of looking up to high schoolers and seeing how they interact at school and how they should maybe do so," Verschoor said.
Verschoor said the kids already know him.
"They call me bionic man because I had a big boot lugging around, so I'm also kind of a hero to them" Verschoor said.
The preschoolers will have the same teachers as high schoolers for their "special" classes like gym, art, and music. And high-schoolers taking child development will get to work with the preschoolers during the year.

Posted on 11. Oct, 2010 by admin in Yacht Equipment
While marine radar was once a must for recreational boaters, the advancement of electronic maritime charts and accuracy of new GPS has made the installation of radar sometimes secondary. With regard to essential equipment for boating safety, the importance of radar is still high, especially for yachts since it is still the only above-water active navigational tool available.

satellitedishcanada casino Variations in marine safety equipment are typical and radars can be divided into different categories according to wavelength. Two being discussed here are s-band radar and x-band. S-Band radars operate on a wavelength of 8-15 cm and frequency of 2-4 GHz and Australian readers will find different gaming guides and strategy guides about casino games online like Baccarat, pokies, Blackjack, poker Top UK Casinos and more. are useful for near and far range weather observation.
X-Band radars operate on a wavelength of 2.5-4 cm and a frequency of 8-12 GHz. Due to the smaller wavelength the x-band radar is more sensitive and can detect smaller particles. These radars attenuate very easily Link and therefore are used for only short-range weather observation. Because of their small size x-band radars can be portable.
Debates often come up over which is the better radar to equip yachts with and which is the most useful. However, many are equipped with both types of radars as one is more useful on the open sea while the other is better for ships in coastal waters. Multiple superyacht owner, John Rosatti opted to include both on his mega yacht Remember When.
For those in the market for the best radar for any yacht, the best advice is to check with the experts, ship pilots and other yacht owners. Nothing compares to firsthand experience when it comes to navigational and detection systems for any sea vessel and these marine electronics are crucial to safety. Talk to professionals and fellow boat owners to determine which variation will best suit your boating needs.

I have been so busy living that all I've been passionate about in the last 2 weeks has been poetry, my poetry. Anyway, it's nice to be back feeding off art, photography and fashion again. Today I'll start with another amazing piece from one of Ghana's number one photographers: Nana Kofi Acquah. This is the second time I'm writing about his work here on What's Hot! The first time was in September 2009, when I introduced his work: Nana Kofi's Photography. Since then Nana has become an international master piece when it comes to photography of Ghana and Africa. Below are a few shots from his casual stroll through the Chale Wote Street Art Festival which took place in Ghana over the weekend`.
The next person I want to talk about is Australian street artist: Meggs. I love street art and I love Megg's amazing works featured below.
And still on street artists I'd like to introduce a good friend I made in my first weeks in Phnom Penh: Sebastian, a street artist from France with a very unique style in street art and an eye for great colour. Enjoy and do visit his page on facebook: Sautel Cago!
Speaking of colour, finally, below is something phenomenal that I picked from the My Modern Metropolis website: a lovely rainbow-burst of colour captured from this year's Holi Festival in front of the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah. The gif below was cut from a video shot by filmmaker Devin Graham and his friends.
For more colour and vibrancy from Nana's photography. Visit his blog at:

Midas Touch: Classic Glam Gold Accents
Decor Style Source List
One classic way to add a bit of glam to a room is by accenting with gold. In a pieces both big and small, the shiny hue captures the eye and gives off a luxe effect.
If you are after a hint of shine, try a small item, such as a candle holder or something with a bit of humor and whimsy like a this chubby little hippo or a playful vide poche. For more impact, try a larger piece in the form of an end table or lamp. Either way, adding some gold to your home warms the overall look of the space and adds a bit of classic glam.

I bought the Urban Outfitters pendant shade (#4) and waited forever for it to arrive as it was backordered. When it showed up, it was nowhere near gold. It was a dark copper color, almost black! Beware!
Great. Thanks AT. I didn't know I needed an $88 gold hippo in my life until now. Goodbye money, hello Janet.
I am desperate for the perfect side table and just found it! Thanks :)
I am sorry, but while the hippo is unique.. its not worth 88 dollars. If you want that same look for cheap.. buy a toy hippo, spray paint it gold.. http://alturl.com/i58uw
never knew i'd be attracted to a gold hippo.

This is where I dump all my crap, i.e., illustrations that are products of both boredom and a pestering desire to be a [pseudo]graphic designer. Hope one or two makes you smile. :3
It made me sad to read that the last female white rhino was killed by poachers yesterday. It speaks so much of how inhumane humans could be, of human arrogance, of how we think the world is ours for the taking.
What bothers me most is that this rhino, being one of the last living ones of her kind, was killed in the reservation—in the dead of the night no less. It means the perpetrators are fully aware that what they're doing is wrong, and yet they plunged on with their brutal plan. She was tranquilized while the poachers were in a chopper, then hacked off her horn, and left her to bleed to death.
I hope in my own way I helped raise awareness, that this is what we have sunk down to: robbers who sneak around in the dark, killing a defenseless creature for a horn that wasn't meant for our use.
Inspired by one of my favorite Beatles song, and it goes like this: I'll pretend that I'm kissing, the lips I am missing, and send all my loving to you. :) (Lyrics in bold are my favorite and the main idea behind my drawing hee hee)
Thanks to everyone who has been following me :3
This is also for Lucy of Happy Monsters, who is one of the artists here on Tumblr who got me started drawing again.
My favorite scene (and quote) from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, a movie that I absolutely love. I am incredibly impressed with @bw-inc's illustration of Alice that I was motivated to make my own.
Way back when Friendster was still the hottest shit to hit the Innernetz, my friends and I really got into answering surveys and sort of questionnaires and stuff like that. My boyfriend, K, was asked what's the best thing about rain, and he answered "Having someone to share an umbrella with." I can't remember the exact words he used, though.
This is an illustration of what he said, which I totez agree with.
P.S. Rainy days are fast approaching here in my country, and I really, really love it. :3
So I was part of our department's basketball team (women) during the last company sports fest, and we won! Not that I had a lot of contribution to that triumph, but it was the first time I played basketball and I thought it was hella fun. :3

Euro 2012 fans facing hotels scam
Jun 24 2012
England fans at Euro 2012 have reported being ripped off by fraudsters charging in advance for hotels that do not exist.
Supporters' groups said a number of people have fallen victim to the scam, while even the cheapest reputable hotels are charging more than £120 a night.
Graphic designer Terry Sowle, 32, said his experience was "a nightmare" after paying £200 for a hotel in Kiev that was made up.
"We booked it through Booking.com and when we were in Donetsk we got an email to say the hotel was a fraudulent hotel and it didn't exist. We had paid up front and we've not had the money back yet."
Mr Sowle, from Bournemouth, Dorset, said the con had cost them a considerable amount of time and money.
"We arrived here with nowhere to go," he said. "We wandered around for a day to try to find somewhere. It was pretty annoying. You go through a big operator like Booking.com and you at least expect it too exist."
Kevin Miles of the Football Supporters' Federation said the case was not an isolated incident.
"It's not hundreds, but there's been enough for us to flag it up as an issue. A lot of people have paid a significant amount of money and they then have to find alternative accommodation at short notice," he said.

3CLogic customers are expected to benefit from IRT's extensive training methodology, such as the high interactivity training based on all in CSR call interactions. Offering a 90-percent learning and recollection rate, IRT provides businesses with top-of-the-line training programs that drastically increase the learning rate of CSRs in a flexible time sensitive period, said the companies.

"3CLogic's Cloud based Contact Center software paired with our extensive CSR training programs offers businesses a real competitive advantage."
"3CLogic is thrilled to offer our customers, IRT's results maximization services to maximize their CSR performance and skills," said Raj Sharma (News - Alert), president and CEO at 3CLogic.

what the hell0 Reviews
What will Leon do when he sees Claire is distress?
"Angela Miller?"
"Oh hell no!"
Leon chuckled, "getting closer," he said.
"Oh god! Who is it then!? Who do you like?!" Hunnigan, who couldn't figure it out, asked.
"Guess," Leon said.
"Ummm. Kelly Ark? Miranda Gordon? Sarah Klips? I don't know, Leon. I've named every woman that you've ever made contact with, for as long as I've known you," Ingrid whined.
"Missed one," Leon teased.
"Who the hell could I've possibly missed?" She asked, losing her patience.
"Bedshield," Leon hinted.
"Oh my god! Claire Redfield!! You like Claire Redfield!" Hunnigan shouted excitedly.
Leon kept quite and grinned. Finely he shrugged," I don't like her, I love her," he explained," Claire Redfield. I wonder what she's up to right now," he told Ingrid, who was surprised by his choice. She took a deep breath, but before she could say anything, Agent Sergio Wilson, interrupted, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but did you say Claire Redfield?" He asked Leon seriously. Leon looked concerned,"Yeah, what about her," he asked. Sergio took a deep breath, "Its best if you see for yourself," he said. Leon and Hunnigan got up from their desks and followed agent Wilson, "We received this about 30 minutes ago via Sunset Hills security cameras. We think its Claire Redfield, but that's purely theoretical." Leon stared in horror as he watched a young woman shooting the undead. She had dark, red hair that was in a ponytail and wore black skinnies, brown combat boots and a light, blue denim vest. It was definitely Claire. Leon looked at Hunnigan. She nodded and turned around to her computer, "I need a fixed location around Sunset Hills. I need the force to come down immediately, fully equip-," she commanded, then Leon cut in. "No. I'll go. On my own. It's to much of a risk for the force to go and besides, I have more experience than anyone here," he said. Hunnigan was surprised but she knew Leon well and knew that he would do anything for his friends, or this case, his love. She nodded at Leon and called for a stand down. "How soon can you leave?" She asked. Leon raised an eyebrow, "immediately," he said while grabbing his jacket and handgun. "We'll send a helicopter to the base in an hour, in the meantime, get your guns and things ready," she told him. He nodded, thanked her and headed to his apparent. "Why did I let her go by herself?" He thought to himself angrily while he drove home. When he got home, he changed to his black jeans and gray t-shirt with his dark brown leather jacked. He wore his holisters on his belt and had a knife holder on his suspenders. He took his favorite handgun that he had bought on the day that he asked Claire to go to the ball with him. He grabbed his Red9, his Striker and of course, his knife that he had taken from Krauser. Before he left his apartment, he saw a picture of him and Claire on the night of the ball. Jill had taken it. He remembered that perfect night like it happened yesterday. She looked so beautiful in that black, lace, mini dress. He smiled at the picture and shoved it in his pocket. "I'll see you soon, my Claire-Bear," he said to himself. He drove for about 10 minutes before reaching the HeadQuarters. He climbed out of his Land Rover and slipped into the helicopter that had been waiting for him. 2 hours had passed and the helicopter had finely landed. Leon hopped out and was greeted by a mid-aged man, that was standing next to a black SUV. "Mr Kennedy, this is the car that you'll be taking to Sunset Hills, I hope it's okay," the man said while tossing Leon the keys. Leon took a deep breath, "as long as it can help save my Claire, it's perfect," he smiled. Leon got in the drivers seat and started the car. "Straight down this road and after an hours passed, you'll see the 'Welcome to Sunset Hills' sign," the man directed. Leon nodded and drove down the long road. This was going to be one hell of a party.

Reply to: Ramapo Vote Signals Anger At — And Among — Orthodox Jews
17 hours 53 min ago
It is too bad that some of us felt it necessary to place ourselves in opposition to our gentile neighbors. We did not want to make this referendum a test of religious loyalty.
For us the key issue was the terrible terrible leadership of Supervisor St. Lawrence and the slavish support provided by his rubber stamp town board. Together they have pushed Ramapo to the verge of bankruptcy.
The entire community, Jew and gentile voted better than 2 to 1 against a stadium bond for $16 million. He built it anyway at a cost of $60 million. We are now losing $3 million a year because of this terrible decision. The NYS Comptroller found that the ENTIRE town board denied any knowledge of stadium finances. In other words they turned their back on ALL of the people of Ramapo.
Then, under pressure from the frum community St. Lawrence finally promised "affordable" housing. Instead he allowed his friends to build housing that was so expensive almost no one in our community could afford the housing. So he ILLEGALLY sold almost all of the apartments to LLsC which are now renting them out at a good profit.
Building in Monsey has now become so concentrated, and apartment houses have been built so close together that our people are going to die when our poor volunteer fire department cannot reach fire victims in a timely manner.
I could go on and on. The point is that our community has given St. Lawrence a blank check. He uses that to make sure his town board is made up of nobodies who will always say yes.
According to the NYS Comptroller Ramapo is the financially stressed town in NYS and has the highest average salaries of any municipal government in NYS.
Look at our literature. We never attack anyone because of their religion. We stick to St. Lawrence's terrible failures and wish others would do the same.

This coming Saturday, as part of our teen services for Yom Kippur, we are going to use a selection of the submissions we received to our Temple Emanu-El eScapegoat (www.emanuelnyc.org/eScapegoat) - a very contemporary and immediate take on the "al cheit" prayer. There were many submissions to the goat (with more coming in every day) - these are the ones we'll be sharing:
"I am sorry that sometimes I yelled at my children when I was really upset about other things."
"I have cheated on tests."
"I didn't pay a friend back."
"I am sorry I was short with people at work when I got stressed out and I didn't apologize."
"I want to be less negative about everything."
"I went on my phone in school (a lot)."
"Being so impatient with things sometimes."
"Not letting myself be happy because others aren't happy."
"I make fun of people who aren't as smart as I am."
"I'm sorry for not being sorry."
"I am sorry for not giving people the benefit of the doubt."
"I'm sorry for repeating the same mistakes and not learning from the past."
Reply to: Uman Fines Jewish Community For Pilgrims' Unlicensed Tent City
2 days 17 hours ago
Simple answer on how to avoid being ripped off in Uman. Do NOT go there. Simply outrageous and a desecration of Judaism that so many men abandon their families during this period to slum it around a gravesite in the antisemitic heartland of the Ukraine. And no doubt the lawless antics of many of these Chasids and near-Chasids provide arguments to the locals perhaps otherwise not inclined towards antisemitism.

What is "the 626″? A food blogger responds
A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about the "626" Asian American youth subculture in the San Gabriel Valley that got at least one anonymous commenter rather upset. I argued that the attempts by this self-proclaimed "movement" to brand the San Gabriel Valley as a second-generation Asian foodie playground creates a narrative that minimizes non-Asian ethnic groups, immigrants, and people on the lower end of the socioeconomic spectrum.
It seems like I'm not the only "626" native uncomfortable with this re-branding. Food blogger Justin Aung Lee responds to the controversy with a well-written post and a cool graphic:
Just because an Asian night market bears the name 626 doesn't grant the right of a select few to anoint showcase communities (with vibrant Asian-inspired food scenes) as the undisputed representatives of the 626. Does that mean only sushi bars and Korean BBQ restaurants, pho joints and Taiwanese cafes can represent the 626?
The 626 should be about celebrating a vibrant and dynamic community that already exists, not about vested business interests conjuring up a static definition that osbcures the realities on the ground and the incongruities in our community. To us at Oh My Food Coma, the 626 has always been inclusive of the many communities that inhabit this expansive swath of the San Gabriel Valley.
To even imply that the 626 is an exclusively Asian domain is a narrative that leaves us uncomfortable. It's a symptom of the greater problems immigrant communities face in America. When people espouse these sorts of ideas, they inherently marginalize other groups and render them invisible. It's exclusion, plain and simple.

Should the Tea Party be Thanking the Occupy Movement?
By Kevin Price, Publisher and Editor and Chief, US Daily Review.
Recently I was at a political event and I met a young man who has been involved in the "Occupy" movement. He was excited about the organization and believed it offered great promise to his generation (he was in his early to mid 20s). I told him I was surprised he felt that way (because he seemed so rational), because I believe the movement is doing it's issues more harm, than good, because of its terrible behavior. Then, I followed up by saying, "whatever those issues are." It is the fact that it stands for nothing, that this group has become so large. If it ever stands for anything, I am sure it's numbers would shrink.
So, this young person asked, "How is the 'Occupy' movement doing harm?" Honestly, I had no idea where to begin. I did, however, pulled examples from this exhaustive (and growing daily) list (thanks www.BigJournalism):

The identity of the hacker(s) are unknown, but of course Reuters speculates on the reasons behind the recent attacks and ascribes it to "an intensifying conflict in cyberspace between supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad."
Reuters :: The blogging platform of the Reuters News website was hacked (on Wednesday) and a false posting saying Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal had died was illegally posted on a Reuters journalist's blog, the company said on Wednesday.

The U.S. Roman Catholic Church will establish a body in January to house disaffected members of the Episcopal Church, beginning with a few dozen ministers and at least two congregations seeking communion, U.S. bishops were told on Tuesday.
Some 35 of 67 Anglican ministers who have applied to join the Catholic Church have received the "nulla osta" from the Holy See, allowing them to move forward to become priests, said Cardinal Donald Wuerl, archbishop of Washington, D.C.
Wuerl, head of a committee to move the process forward, gave a progress report to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops who are meeting this week in Baltimore.
The other clergy seeking ordination have had their dossiers presented to the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, he said.

The world of Maria Sharapova "Love made me stronger"
The champion is happy with baby boyfriend Dimitrov: "He's more mature than his 21 years age, helps me staying young". "I love Rome but it's dangerous for your line and your wallet, with all those pastries..."
- Maria Sharapova, what's your best aspect?
"I think the ambition. I love life, waking up in the morning and thinking about what I want to achieve and do again. I'm always capable to push myself to the limit even in the hardest moments and see things from a different point of view".
- The shoulder surgery and the stop have helped you to improve.
"I always had in my mind to get back where I was, in the rankings and in the tourneys. Experience and motivation helped me, and the will to relive those feelings again, mostly in Slams".
- Best moments of the year so far?
"Winning Indian Wells: it was many years I couldn't do it, I played well in the final".
- But you lost to Serena the last 12 times in a row: how is it possible?
[Translator's note:
"When she plays me, Serena is capable to output and keep up a great power. Specially in the first two shots, serve-return, because otherwise, when the rally gets longer, I win more than 50% of the points. And she manages to keep up that level for 3 hours, more than anyone else. It's this incredible quality that gives so much confidence to all her game".
[Translator's note: I agree so much with her, I wish she could play like Caro when she's against Serena.
- Rome is the last stage before Roland Garros, where you're the defending champion. What did that win mean to you?
"In my career I had many satisfactions, but, maybe because I'm getting older, I remember better the latest, so winning Roland Garros was the best memory of all".
- Two back to back titles in Stuttgart and Rome, and the last one in Paris: how did you manage to learn to win on clay too?
"Key is the physical improvement, the movements, I understood how to be in the right place at the right time. And I became stronger at recovering between one match and the other".
- What do you like about Rome?
"I love the city, the tourney and the crowd, the enthusiasm, the passion, you're very "italian". And the fact I had much success in the last years. It's a dangerous city for the line and the wallet, you have to be careful: it's full of cafe, every one with it's own special pastries, desserts and icecreams...
- What Rome souvenir do you have?
"The trophy, it's the best souvenir".
- Typical day in Rome, without tennis?
"I'd love to be a tourist, but I never have the chance: I'd love to walk, when there's less people around, and visit the Colosseum".
- Maybe you're going with Grigor Dimitrov, your colleague boyfriend. Who's 21 years old.
"Yes, he's younger than me".
- Seems strange, Sharapova with a younger boyfriend.
"I thought it would be very difficult to have a boyfriend someone who acts like a kid. The majority of my friends and my fans is older than me, and the experience in my life and career, tells me I've always been more mature than my age. It's quite interesting this age difference with Grigor, it keeps me young.".
- Dimitrov is very mature for his 21 years.
"Indeed, regardless how good he is on a tennis court, he has so many other qualities. And, for me, everything comes from personality, from what you have inside. Through the years, I've seen him many times around, even when he was junior - and I've been on tour so long... - but, as a person, I didn't know him well, and I found out the passion he puts in the things he does, he knows many topics and he's interested in the new things and in the world. It's an uncommon characteristic, considering his age".
[Note by translator: I'm dying about how much I love this answer, because I always felt like a kid watching Maria, even if I'm 2 years and a half older than her..
- The balance between tennis and life is fundamental.
"It's important to know what you want to do in your career and what makes you happy on court, but at the end of the day there's so much more in life. I know very well that tennis lasts some year (few now for me), and it's important to be yourself. Imagine for someone indipendent like me. So it's fundamental to share everything with someone you're feeling good with".
- Will you be a mom who spanks her sons or the kind who can talk and give punishment?
"I think I'll be the first kind, strong, that when it's needed can give a spank. Just because I've always been very honest and open, I understood that I am what I am also because of how my parents grew me up, of how they formed my personality in the age of development. And I'm thankful to them because I'm happy about how I am today. And I want the same for my children".
- Whatever happened to dad Yuri? He suddenly disappeared!
"We talk every day, or every other day, he's on permanent vacation. He says he's training for the skiing Senior Olympics, but it's not going to happen. He's still involved in every aspect of my career and knows my game better than anyone. He sees always everything, knows everything about the coaches, he's still interested in them and asks me what I had for lunch".
Thanks, awesome!

Bienvenue! My name is Jamie and I like golf. I grew up playing tennis in eastern Massachusetts, but fell in love with the game after watching Se Ri Pak defeat Jenny Chausiriporn at the 1998 U.S. Womens Open. I studied Hospitality & Tourism Management (with a focus on Event, Tourism, and Convention Management) at the Isenberg School of Management, University of Massachusetts Amherst. Tennis is my first love, but golf is a very close second. I believe style should equal substance, and the latter is nothing without the former.
"you can't make harmony, when everyone is singing the same note."
In a dramatic finish, Na Yeon Choi captured her first wire-to-wire victory outlasting Christina Kim, In-Kyung Kim, & Song-Hee Kim in a 2 hole playoff to capture the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic presented by Kroger. Choi was the only player to get a birdie during the playoff doing so on the par-5 17th hole. "The Big Apple" gets her first victory of 2010, but it certainly wasn't easy.
World #3 Jiyai Shin's recovery from an emergency appendectomy seem to be going well, she posted a scoring 7-under 64 to post 13-under. When Shin finished she was two behind NYC who held the lead at 15-under. Song-Hee Kim was a stroke behind that at 14-under, while Christina Kim was struggling a bit and was back at 12-under.
In the closing 5-holes it appeared none of the ladies wanted to take home the title. Choi, who was in control at this point, would bogey the 14th and 15th holes to drop back to Shin's number at 13-under. Her near collapse at last year's Samsung World Championship (which I talked about yesterday, and last fall) showed us that while wilting, she'd still be there to walk through the door if it was left open, and boy did these ladies leave it open.
In-Kyung Kim birdied her final hole to leapfrog Jiyai Shin and become the new clubhouse leader at 14-under.
Song-Hee Kim was at 14-under also before she herself bogeyed the the 16th hole. She would bounce back with a birdie on the 17th to also post at 14-under.
Christina Kim was still recovering a rough double bogey she suffered on the 10th hole, despite immediately following that double with three consecutive birdies. She parred 14-16 to be tied with Na Yeon Choi at 13-under. She took advantage of the par 5 17th, and got herself up with Inky and Song-Hee at 14-under going into Christina & NYC's final hole.
Going into the par 5 8th Kim & NYC both needed birdies. Christina's would give her the outright victory. Choi's would get her into the playoff. It was up to Christina to shut the door on Na Yeon, but she was unable to do it. She chipped to 10 feet, and had that left to claim her first victory in 5 years. She didn't get it. NYC did sink her birdie putt, and we were set for a four way playoff.
In a great display of golf, all four ladies were on the green in 3 on the 1st playoff hole (they replayed the par 5 18th). Not only were they on the green, but they were all within 12 feet.
Choi's 12 footer was 1st, but she missed.
Inky had a 10 footer, but she failed to convert.
Christina Kim had just 7 feet, but again was unable to hole her birdie.
The tournament was now in Song-Hee Kim's hands. She was 5 feet away from the maiden LPGA victory we were all expecting from her. With 15 top 10s in her last 18 events, it certainly felt like this was her time. I wholeheartedly believed that the next tweet from LPGA would be one saying that S-H finally got her first victory.
It seemed to deflate Song-Hee who found the bunker with her 3rd shot on the par-5 17th on the 2nd playoff hole, and wasn't down after 5 shots.
Choi chipped to 3-feet, and had a near gimme for her birdie on the 2nd playoff hole. There were two players left who could shut the proverbial door.
Christina Kim had two makeable chances in a row the past two holes, and again was unable to birdie. Her 20-footer failed to connect.
In-Kyung Kim was the only person left in the Big Apple's way. 12 feet away to put pressure on her compatriot. She couldn't do it.
NYC sunk her 3-footer and finally put an end to it. She walked back through the door she opened to the field.
What a disappointment for Christina Kim & Song-Hee Kim. This was Christina's first top 10 of the season, and she had a chance to win it in regulation. Hopefully she'll remember all the good things that got her to the playoff and not the putt she missed.
Song-Hee Kim gets another top 10 finish, and is still the best player on tour without a win. This was the first time she truly had the tournament in her hands, and her failure could do very bad things mentally. It'll be interesting to see how she bounces back next week at Oakmont.
In-Kyung's brilliant 64 should hopefully bring her season back into the positive after a mediocre start. She played amazing to get into the playoff, but never had the upper hand in the day's proceedings.
Na Yeon Choi again showed that she's not quite comfortable with the lead, but miraculously again she found a way to take the title anyway.
It's a shame that such an exciting finish was not televised. Thankfully the LPGA had constant updates to get us through this exciting finish.
In an exciting final round 2009 Rookie M.J. Hur outlasted Suzann Pettersen and Michele Redman in a two-hole playoff to claim her first tour victory. Down the stretch it was a question of who wanted to win as a series of errant shots, missed putts, and opportunities turned a would be blowout into one of the most exciting finishes so far in 2009.
When Suzann Pettersen reached the 13th she was in the lead by 3 at -15, with M.J. Hur & Michele Redman leading the charge at -12. M.J. Hur, playing a couple groups ahead of Pettersen and Redman hit her approach close on 14, and sunk the ensuing birdie putt to get within two of Suzann. M.J. continued her stealth iron play and hit another close shot at 15. In the meantime on the 14th, Suzann was on the green after her tee shot to the par 3, but was too agressive with her birdie putt and ran it by. In the short 3 footer coming back, Suzann missed it. Unbeknownst to Hur who now had a putt to tie Suzann. She did not make a solid putt and remained one back of Suzann.
Pettersen on the 15th hole, a par 5, laid up into a decent position after two shots. With a wedge in hand Suzann did the unthinkable, she badly flew the green actually going over the t.v. tower. After dropping to get eye line relief, Suzann hit her pitch short of the green. From there she hit a poor chip, and was finally on the green in 5. Unable to convert her putt for bogey Suzann had to settle for double. Dropping her a stroke behind M.J. Hur.
Meanwhile Hur had another birdie chance at the 16th, of similiar length as the one she had on 15. Hur, perhaps feeling rookie nerves of being in contention, again missed the putt. She would settle for pars at the driveable par-4 17th, and the tough as nails 18th, and posted the -13 number.
Suzann and Michele went to the 220 yard par-4 17th, and both missed the green with their tee shots. Michele, up first, missed hers badly to the left and had a buried lie in the primary rough. Suzann also missed left, but was a bit better, and had a clean lie in the bunker. Michele's shot was a doozy, buried lie, green running away toward the creek. We had just seen Christina Kim's pitch run past the hole, off the green, and nearly in the hazard. Michele showing her wily veteran skills, played a perfect delicate pitch that played off the ridge behind the pin, rolling just a few feet away. Suzann hit another good shot, a bit outside of Michele's setting up two birdie putts for a share of the lead. They both sank to tie M.J. Hur at -13.
Quietly the final group on the course had two players at -11 when they got to the tee at the birdieable 17th. Ai Miyazato and Seon Hwa Lee both had birdie putts on the 17th hole. Ai made hers, Seon Hwa did not. Ai could seemingly birdie the 18th and get into the playoff.
That was if, Redman and Pettersen did not birdie the final hole. The 18th was playing very difficult on this day, and had only 2 birdies and that point in the day. Redman, after a picture perfect drive, hit hers short of a ridge, but directly on line to the pin. Suzann had the opposite fate, she pushed her driver far right, and it bounced off the rocks in the hazard, and landed in the rough. She layed up from there, and hit her third shot to 10-15 feet of the pin. Redman, didn't quite hit her putt hard enough, but left an easy tap in to ensure there was a playoff. Pettersen had a test par putt, and found the nerve to sink it to make it at least a 3-way playoff.
Miyazato, needing birdie to get into the playoff, hit her tee shot wayward right, and it landed in the primary rough. She missed the green on her approach, made an aggressive pitch, then two-putted finishing at -11 and tied 4th with Seon Hwa Lee and Michelle Wie.
Pettersen had a 2-0 record in playoffs, M.J. Hur was playing in her first LPGA playoff, and Redman had not been in a playoff in 20 years I beleive. Who would settle their nerves?
All three of them had picture perfect drives all in line with eachother. Redman's approach landed in a very similiar place to her shot in regulation, if not a few feet further away and to the left. Hur was long and to the left and in the rough. Suzann played a beautiful approach and had a 8-12 footed for birdie. Suzann's was the only shot that looked makeable. Hur left her chip about 5 feet short, and after wrestling with those type of putts down the stretch, definitley left herself some work. Redman putted to 2 feet, marked, and it set the stage for Pettersen.
Suzann must have been the favorite to win out of these three, winning 5 times in 2007, and never losing in a playoff. Here she had a ten footer to claim the sweet feeling of victory. She missed to the left. Hur steadied herself and sank her 6-footer, but Redman missed her two footer. A sad end to a player who really fought hard this weekend, you never want to miss a chance to win like this.
Pettersen & Hur went to the 17th and hoped to get on the green and one. Hur again was short and to the left, but left a doable pitch shot to get a birdie. Pettersen hit one of the worst shots I've ever seen her hit, and she was short and to the right, luckily not rolling into the creek that was short of the hole. Her shot was that poorly hit that it was short of the hazard.
Hur pitched to 6 feet, leaving an uphill birdie putt. Pettersen's approach nearly bounced into the cup, but rolled 20 feet past. Pettersen gave it a good aggressive go for birdie, but it wasn't good enough. Hur with the tournament in her hands, finally sank a short birdie putt giving her her first career win.
She is the third rookie to win on tour this year after Jiyai Shin & Anna Nordqvist, and made only her 7th cut this year. We'll see if Hur can continue an ascension upward on the LPGA, or if she'll fall into Eunjung Yi land.
Christina Kim got up to -12 at one point, but struggled down the stretch. Seon Hwa Lee never got it going today, and even though finished at T-4, was not really a factor. Neither was Anna Nordqvist.
Russy Gulyanamitta had a surprise top 20 finishing T-12 at -7. Her compatriot Poranong Phatlum, had a hole in one, but struggled mightily dropping all the way down to 60th after a 78. Jeong Jang joined Gulyanamitta at T-12, and Jennifer Rosales notched a top 20 finishing at -6 and T-17.
It was adorable watching Haeji Kang try to spray M.J. Hur with champagne after the finish. After not being able to get the spray action she wanted, and Hur fleeing for safety in the gallery, Kang settled for dumping the champagne all over her. Hur teared up hugging her parents, and spoke solid English in a post tournament interview.

Thoughts: 1) I know I've said this before, and honestly, I'm not complaining about the shootout (this time). But it's kind of silly, isn't it, that the exact same hockey game for 65 minutes gets played, and if Alex Semin's shot doesn't hit the crossbar, or if J.T. Miller continues… Read More →

Bobby Valentine, Lance Armstrong Among Sports Figures Named to GQ Magazine's 'Least Influential' List (Photos)

TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
As the calendar turns, many people look back on the year that was and try to make sense of the many highs that accompany the last 365 days. GQ Magazine, in a spoof of the many publications that create "most influential" lists at year's end, has instead chosen to single out those in the world of pop culture who were the least significant of the last 12 months. Described as "a collection of people so uninspiring that we should round them all up and stick them on an iceberg," the list includes several sports figures among its ranks, some of which are more well-known to Boston fans than others. Former Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine makes the cut, as does Los Angeles Lakers center Dwight Howard. Some of the other sports names on the list might be more obvious, while others might be considered a little surprising. All in all, it's a list that many more should feel lucky not to have been featured on. Click here to see the sports figures named as this year's "least influential" >>

If you relied on the Washington media for your news and information about health care, you'd think that insurance companies would never have considered sending policy discontinuation notices to their policyholders until forced to do so by Obamacare.
Read Whole Story
The federal government may have established Medicaid, but it gave the states the job of running it. Each state has its own individualized program, with different rules and regulations, making federal oversight difficult, if not impossible.
Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon is facing a dilemma. Should he sign a bill that was intended to help many state residents get coverage for cost-effective health care that insurers often refuse to pay for? Or veto the bill because it is loaded with amendments that will benefit insurers?
For my 16th birthday, my reluctant mother finally agreed to let me get my ears pierced. Back then, it was a procedure performed at a doctor's office, ...

So much for health care choice and competition vanishing with "Obamacare". It seems as if one of the leaders of the anti-reform crowd, Rick Scott, wasn't a true believer in the value of choice and competition after all.
The health insurance industry's long-term strategy is to move all Americans into high-deductible plans, and they're well on their way to achieving that goal. Once there, you can bet the rates will be hiked up.
If the health insurance industry gets its way, not only will it be able to gut important provisions of the health care reform law, it will put all of us in a forced march into inadequate plans, and, at the same time, into the swelling ranks of the underinsured.
Successful flacks know how to use a variety of public relations tricks to obscure the truth -- being selective in the disclosure of information, for instance, or using statistics in misleading ways. But sometimes that can backfire.
Like many others, I've heard President Obama talk about his mother's insurance problems during her final months in 1995. But I didn't realize until now that the company she was pleading with was CIGNA, the one I used to work for.

In the simplest of words, the health care reform bill has become a Cash for Clunkers program for HMOs. Let's take a look at some of the bigger winners and losers.
America has a new group among the marginalized. I'm not talking about people of any particular race, creed, sexual orientation, or gender. I'm speaking of the victims of corporate intolerance.

Many Republicans have expressed outrage at Representative Alan Grayson (D-FL) for his recent display on the floor of the House of Representatives while discussing health care reform.
Despite its faults, the federal government at least knows when you're dead. That's more than can be said for Blue Cross in Los Angeles, who assigns deceased doctors to customers as 'in network practitioners.'
Ultimately, the political infighting about our health care crisis isn't the point. The possibility of solving it is. I am as surprised as you might be to believe that the best hope lies with Wal-Mart.

For some, the system works best when elites make the most fundamental decisions for our society, unencumbered by the trappings of "democracy", and when the population is depoliticized, misinformed, or both.
To get to the heart of America's healthcare challenge, we must end the longstanding system of pay-to-play politics by fundamentally reforming the role of private money in federal elections.
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were sold to the nation as moral imperatives, not as taxpayer burdens. The health care debate has been framed as a taxpayer burden instead of a moral imperative.
The Blue Dog coalition loved spending lavishly on the Iraq war only to rediscover the evil of budget deficits as soon as Obama was elected.
Unless HMOs are strictly regulated, either the premiums for policies will be too high or the benefits in the policy too little to really protect Americans.
