SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – No. 15-ranked and top-seeded Minnesota State put together a late second half run to earn a hard-fought 68-57 victory over Southwest Minnesota State on Monday night in the semifinals of the NSIC/Sanford Health Tournament at the Sanford Pentagon.
@The game was tied at 53 with less than six minutes remaining, but a 9-0 run over the next two minutes proved to be the difference in the game as the Mavericks advance to the championship game versus Winona State on Tuesday night. MSU, the regular season conference champions, improve to 28-4, while SMSU drops to 19-12.
@The Mavericks held a 44-32 rebound advantage, including grabbing 15 offensive rebounds. MSU finished the game with a 13-2 advantage in second chance points.
@William Giddings led SMSU with 16 points, while Vinard Birch chipped in with 12 points. Mitch Weg added six points and pulled down a career-high 12 rebounds. Nick Smith scored eight points, grabbed nine rebounds and blocked four shots. Joey Bartlett came off the bench to score eight points with two 3-pointers.
@SMSU finished the night shooting 40 percent (23 of 57) from the field and was 4 of 15 from 3-point range. SMSU shot just 31 percent in the second half, including 2 of 11 on 3-pointers.
@Gage Wooten led MSU with 21 points and nine rebounds, while Tanner Adler scored 18 points on six 3-pointers.
@Giddings was red-hot for the Mustangs in the game's first eight-plus minutes scoring 12 of the team's first 16 points to help SMSU build a 16-8 lead with 11 minutes and 33 seconds left in the opening half. MSU rallied with six straight points, but Birch answered with back-to-back field goals to push the lead to 20-14 with nine minutes remaining.
@The Mavericks would trim the lead to one-point on four different occasions later in the half, including at 28-27, but a long 3-pointer by Bartlett and a layup by Birch gave SMSU a six-point lead at 33-27 with 1:40 left, before settling for a 33-29 halftime lead.
@SMSU shot 52 percent in the first half, but was outrebounded 21-17, including allowing eight MSU offensive rebounds. Giddings led the Mustangs in the opening half with 14 points.
@MSU quickly started the second half with four points to tie the game and later built a 43-39 lead at the 13:51 mark. Bartlett countered with a 3-pointer for SMSU and was followed by a field goal by Matt Zager to give the Mustangs a 44-43 lead, but the Mavericks came back with a 7-0 run, highlighted by a two 3-pointers by Adler to make the score 50-44 with 10:58 remaining.
@SMSU came right back with its own run, scoring seven straight points, including four by Nick Smith, to regain the lead at 51-50 with 7:29 left. Adler then drilled another 3-pointer to put MSU back in front until Birch tied the game at 53 with a layup with 6:15 on the clock.
@The Mavericks then put together the key 9-0 run starting with a layup by Assem Marei and capped by a Wooten 3-pointer to make the score 62-53 with 3:47 remaining and never looked back in defeating SMSU for the third time this season.
@Tonight marked the final game for four Mustang seniors – Vinard Birch, William Giddings, Nick Smith and Matt Zager.

Lions Bay is a village located north of Vancouver, British Columbia, on Highway 99. It is a member municipality of the Greater Vancouver Regional District, which is governed by the Metro Vancouver board. Lions Bay is located roughly between Horseshoe Bay and Squamish. Due to the steep topography of the area, many of the homes are site-specific constructions providing the village with interesting and varied architectural styles.
Lions Bay has a land area of 2.55 square kilometers. There is Lions Bay General Store and Cafe, Lions Bay Art Gallery, a Remax Realty Office and a post office. Also, the town features a fairly large marina with a launch ramp adjacent to the town swimming beach. The World championship free diving competition was held just off-shore in 2004, sponsored by AIDA International.

Your Starter Kit Essentials & Start Up Tips
Simple on the top, more complex on the bottom.
- NO starter kit should EVER cost you over 75$. None. No.(Update 12/14/12- New Technology, like ego spinners/twists which are variable wattage devices are a bit more expensive. Starter ego twist kits can reach close to 80$. Be sure to check your vendor that they are legitimate when any starter kit seems unreasonably expensive. Check them on ECF, link in upper left corner)
- The ONLY exceptions is top of the line Variable Volt gear which you shouldn't buy yet. I'm talking about Darwin, Provari's, and yes even Lavatube, VAMO, style( More "Volvo" while the first two mentioned are like the "Rolls Royce" of VV) It's much more expensive and complex plus if you don't know anything about vaping yet can be completely overwhelming. Just the old saying "You gotta learn to crawl before you can walk" sums the issue up.
- Watch out for scam sites. ANY site claiming "We'll give you our cheap ass device for FREE you just pay 49.95 for cartridges per month!! What a deal!!" Is a con artist, shyster, crook, ect ect. Don't fall for it.
With those necessary points out of the way, here is what you need for a starter kit.
- Ze Starter Kit- Most should come with 2 atomizers, 2 batteries, maybe cartridges, and of course the charger.
- 2 packs of Cartomizers
- at least 4-6, 6 ml samples of juice
- a drip tip
- You must be 18 years or old to order.
I get that in the beginning it can be very overwhelming. There will be learning curves but that's okay and if you enjoy the feeling of vaping they will pass much sooner then you think. Within a couple months you may even feel like a vaping aficionado.
There are many places for starter kits, from personal experience I think starting with an eGo type kit/battery is a great place to be and they are easily found on http://liberty-flights.com , http://www.discountvapers.com/complete-kits/, http://www.sweet-vapes.com/shop/starter-kits, and many others. For lighter smokers trying to switch to vaping as a smoking alternative while I have not personally bought from them I have heard great things about V4L.com from quite a few veterans. They also have a little over 2 month warranty and have been said to have top notch customer service.
Why a drip tip? What is that??
^These are drip tips.^ Random picture I found via Google. Tons and tons of pretty drip tips. They tend to be cheap, under or around 3 dollars and just make vaping so much more pleasurable. A regular cartridge will be harder to "pull" or vape from. A drip tip solves that issue. Being attached to your atomizer for dripping or cartomizer as a mouth piece.
Quick Tip: Your starter kit batteries will have a connection/threading size, example some are 510 like an eGo or Riva. Make sure your drip tip is the same connection size.
What's a cartomizer? A cartomizer or carto is an atomizer(heating element) and cartridge combined. In the beginning they can be hard to get the hang of but after vaping a while it's easy. I would say try to go with Boge brand cartos. For duel coil SmokeTech does make some good ones. There are tons of ways to fill them. A typical Boge single carto will hold about 20-30 drops of juice on the first filling. When it starts to taste off, add more drops until the cartomizer filling looks nicely saturated. Not soaked though, but a happy medium. You never want your cartos to burn as much as you don't want them over-filled. A taken care of carto, filled when it should be, typically lasts a week to over a week. Never drip juice directly into the center of a cartomizer.
Quick Tip: Don't rush to commit a flavor into a cartomizer. Drip your flavors first. If you like them, THEN put them into a cartomizer. Once you have a flavor in there more often then not you're gonna have a hard time getting it out.
WTF is dripping?? As simple as I can explain it… You attach your atomizer to your battery. You drip about 4-5 drops of juice(brand new atomizer, never used, blown out first*) after vaping and the taste changes, then add about 2-3 drops.This is why picking manual batteries are important. If you want to drip, dripping can kill automatic batteries because they simply aren't protected. You should be able to get about 4-6 puffs. When the flavor starts to turn add 2-3 drops. Try your best not to let your atomizer burn. Once it burns sometimes the taste can stick for a very long time. Chances are you will flood your atomizer more times then you can count before you get the hang of it. Remember, learning curve. Its okay. Just have napkins/papertowel handy. Don't forget to attach your drip tip onto the atomizer before you take a puff! Also, you can just drip though your drip tip hence the name :o) No need to take it on and off.
*On a brand new atomizer you MUST blow it out very well before using. They are lubricated and you don't want to vape the lubrication! It hasn't caused people harm as far as I know from doing so, it just tastes nasty.
Da Juice— Juice can be the most difficult part. My advice would be buy 3 small sample sizes from two different vendors. Some vendors will make you go "Yay! Awesome" others will make you sad… "Why no flavor?" I would suggest trying different nicotine levels to see what you need. A pack a day smoker may need 24mg or 18mg starting off. Most find it easy to lower their mg as time goes on. I typically use about 10/11 mg nicotine juice and started off at 24mg. There is also VG/PG levels. As a general rule: VG= more vapor, less flavor, less throat hit. PG=Less vapor, more flavor, more throat hit. See how these can be great mixed? They help balance each-other. I personally like 20-30% VG and the rest PG. Everyone is a little different. Some people may not like PG at all. Some folks may need vegan/organic. It does exist, http://www.virginvapor.com/ is top of the line organic juice. For a lot more info on juice, reviews, verified vendors, please visit the e-cigg forum link below. Some juices will be more expensive then others. If a vendor is charging 1$ per ml be careful. Ex. 10ml bottle for 10$ should be a red flag. Some vendors do have merit to charge that much but quite a few charging that much are trying to scam you. You should be able to easily find reviews on "expensive" juice because if they are good and worth the price it likely has a cult following. Use the link below to search for juice reviews.
VG- Vegetable Glycerin
PG- Propylene Glycol
Quick Tip- Just because you smoked cigarettes doesn't mean you need a tobacco flavored juice. Sure get them if you must but try to stay open minded. You may find you really enjoy other flavors than tobacco. Its very common after a while people don't use tobacco flavors at all.
My personal favorites:
Budget friendly yummy juice(some are hit & miss, fruit/drink/sweet flavors I've had the most luck with) and awesome cartomizer deals—> VaporGod.com
High quality reasonably priced juice. My #1 Go-To vendor. Don't be so fast to judge the site, great people behind it. —-> Mister-E-Liquid.com
YOU MUST BE 18+ TO ORDER— This is all about a smoking alternative for adults. My only regret as a teenager was the fact I ever picked up a cigarette at all. Seriously. For teens you're in an awesome place to just stop while you're ahead and not have to worry about any of this in the future.
So that's about all I have to help you get going on your PV journey!
As always if you have more questions, feel free to ask me.

New Father's Day song is up. It's called, Genetic Sadness. Go to it.
Back up in the Windy City, The Rough & Tumble rolled out of their beds at 7:30, brushed their teeth, and had just enough time grab a guitar and a rattle before they were led to the underbelly of the Chicago Transit System. There, in their most disgruntled state they were asked to perform their most disgruntled song.
This is Not Polite, released in September of this year on our latest EP, "For You, Now That You're Married…and for me, too."
Thanks to Dan Stewart and to Keith Moechnig and Fair Gift Live for putting us through this.
Click the title above to view the video.
So here's a little tidbit about The Rough & Tumble this summer— we can't seem to play a single show. Now, granted, we joked at the beginning of the sticky hot weather that we were more of a winter band (seeing as Scott's suit jackets and my matching sweaters get awfully unbearable in the great southern heat), but we were willing to adjust more than our wardrobe to make it out for a few chances to keep the song-rust at bay before our tour-heavy fall.
But we couldn't.
Now, occasionally, maybe, kind of, Scott and I geek out in Rough-and-Tumble-ese, a language composed of only song lyrics we had written to describe particular situations. (Don't be alarmed— this isn't usually more than a few quips to boost morale. We solemnly promise not to release a "Speak Like R&T" manual… any time soon). And on other occasions, we have written a song that doesn't quite make sense until future events take place. Pieces come together and there we are, sitting on stage, singing that song— and we look over at each other wide-eyed with realization.
So I can't help but be worried (in hindsight) that these last few shows have been our own doing. This spring we wrote a song called "Lease Agreement," that a few of you have had the chance to listen to live. The chorus reads much like a lease— "It was a case of fire; it was a case of water; it was a case of damage by an act of God." We've referenced it on a number of occasions, curious about it's final outcome. And now, with each of us heading back to our respective childhood homes this week and not a single show played this summer, we seem to have lived out the last of it's binding contract.
FIRE: Show #1 cancelled due to drought.
WATER: Show #2 cancelled due to rain.
ACT OF GOD: Show #3 cancelled due to a few plagues of poison ivy and my missing voice.
Sure, in the meantime, we've also been able to do things like record the "Bear Hope EP" with our friend, Kelsey Rottiers. We've recorded our third release to be expected this fall. We've even recorded an extra-curricular piece you'll be receiving (for free!) when we return from our families in a week or so. But what The Rough & Tumble loves most is traveling from city to city to see you all.
So with that song-fulfilled prophesy over, we're more ready than ever to see as many of you as possible in these last 2012 month. If you're ready to see us, check out our tour schedule at the link below. Can't wait.
The R&T

Hi all,Just curious to have some views on what should I do.I had a motorcycle accident, where the car driver hit me from behind and his insurance company accepted the primary liabitlity.Now after a medical check and all the paperwork, they've agreed to do a payout of around 4k.I didn't suffer any fractures but I did have some serious muscular injuries in shoulder, arms, thigh and lower leg. After almost 2 months medical check up arranged by them, the doctor suggested 5 to 6 session of physio.I don't have any major muscular pain now that it has been almost 4 months from date of accident.I did contact one of the solicitors, but am not sure if they would be able to get more payout and if it is worth doing, both hassle wise and morally.I just wanted to know your thoughts...Thanks in advance...

If the offer covers the repairs to the bike and you have a small amount left over for your aches and pains then I would suggest you take the offer as the more you push the longer you will have to wait and they will more than likely drag their feet.
I had the same decision to make but now looking back I'm more than happy, I also asked my bike and he's well happy with his new parts.
Thanks for your reply, I agree, though I've not decided yet, I am going to go with your suggestion...

What I liked most about this book, is that the situations and feelings expressed are so real to what real teenagers face even here in Minnesota. This is probably because it was written by a 17-year-old.

This was a very good book, telling about the experiences of high-society New York City teens who have come home from boarding school. They have to overcome drugs, peer pressure, and life itself. I would recommend this book to teens as their is so language in it.

Twelve is a well-written novel that is impossible to put down once you've started reading it. Taking place over five days between Christmas and New Year's Eve, it follows White Mike, a drug dealer in New York, and other private-school kids who all have some connection to Mike. The characters are interesting, and they all have flaws that move the story along to the shocking climax (not for the squeamish!). Nick McDonell is a great writer, and Twelve is one of the best books I've ever read.

About Native Eyewear
You want to hike? Wear Native. You want to kayak? Wear Native. You want to climb? Wear Native. Clearly this could go on forever because Native eyewear can be worn during just about any activity you want to wear them. The versatility and comfort of Native sunglasses are top notch in the world of outdoor eyewear. Not only can you wear Native sunglasses for activewear, but they are also perfect for everyday wear.
The innovative technologies employed by Native are cutting edge and represent major advancements in the comfort and style of Native sunglasses. You may be confused about which pair of Native sunglasses are best for your needs. This is where I come in. I would like to explain the benefits of some top Native sunglasses.
First of all, we have the Native Hard Top polarized sunglasses. These Native glasses are lightweight and polarized, making them easy to wear and extremely comfortable on your eyes. Glare is minimized when you wear these Native Hard Top sunglasses. They are available in a great variety of colors, too. Wear these Native sunglasses for everything from hiking to cutting the lawn.
Next, I would like to introduce you to the Native Silencer polarized sunglasses. These Native sunglasses also cut back on glare with the awesome polarized feature. They perfectly hug your face and are so comfortable that you barely know you're wearing them. Try on the Native Silencer polarized sunglasses and you won't want to take them off. But I recommend taking them off when you take a shower. I mean, it's just weird to wear sunglasses in the shower.
All this talk of Native eyewear has made me want to buy myself a pair. I have owned my pair of Native sunglasses for three years now. I think it's time for a change. And change can only begin with me. I'm trying to sound inspiring.

New Research Projects
Wireless Video Transmission Based On Distributed Source Coding Principles
Vladimir Stankovic - Communication Systems - EPSRC - £185,294
Due to its great practical potentials, distributed source coding (DSC) has recently become a very active research area. However, most obtained results have remained at the theoretical level, and thus there is a huge gap between research achievements and the employment of DSC in practice. Consequently, today's communication systems cannot exploit useful information about the topological structure or statistical dependence between signals in the network, and thus cannot realize significant performance gains promised by theory.
The goal of the project is to bridge the gap between theory and practice, to solve key problems at the very heart of DSC, and in this way set the stage for its application in emerging systems and services. In particular, the project will focus on video transmission over wireless multiterminal networks targeting at applications such as video surveillance networks, deep-space communications, and commercial real-time video multicast over heterogeneous wireless-wireline networks.
DEPtH: Designing for Physicality
Alan Dix - Computing - AHRC/EPSRC - £274,984
When designing purely physical products we do not necessarily have to understand what it is about their physicality that makes them work - they simply have it. However, as we design hybrid physical/digital products we now have to understand what we lose or confuse by the added digitality - and so need to understand physicality more clearly than before.
In this project we aim to collate and construct fundamental understanding of the nature of physicality: how humans experience, manipulate, react and reason about 'real' physical things. Through this clear understanding we will be in the position to offer constructive guidance and guidelines to inform future design of innovative products.

Survey: Put the hammer to texters
A majority think texters should pay more car insurance than speeders.
Think your car insurance company's rules are unfair? Perhaps you should make up your own.
That was the task before 1,000 drivers in a new survey commissioned by CarInsurance.com. Motorists were asked how they would screen customers and price car insurance policies if they ran an insurance company.
Most said they wouldn't penalize drivers for factors that aren't directly related to operating a car.
But they would hold drivers much more accountable when moving — ramping up punishments for those who break the rules and aggressively monitoring those who pose the highest risks.
Put down the cellphone
The survey came down hardest on those who use a cellphone to text or talk while driving:
• 72.9% said a driver who texts should pay more for car insurance than one who speeds.
• 52.9%t said a cellphone ticket should bring an insurance surcharge.
• 51.6% would offer a discount to drivers willing to install a cellphone-disabling device.
Is this happening now?
No. Currently only a dozen states (Alabama, Colorado, Maryland, Nebraska, New York, New Jersey, North Dakota, Nevada, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin) plus Washington, D.C., treat texting as a moving violation — one capable of increasing insurance rates. Other states are considering that step. No insurer offers a discount for a cellphone disabling device, but Esurance will give its customers a free app that blocks cell use while a car is moving.
Smile! You're on an insurance camera
Imagine a device that tracks where a car goes, how fast, and when. Imagine it can observe the behavior of all the people in the car as well. Given the ability to see inside a car, we asked respondents which distractions should result in a higher insurance rate.
• 16.2%: A screaming child
• 16.4%: Hogging the left lane
• 26.4%: Playing very loud heavy metal music
• 39.7%: Eating a sandwich
• 47.4%: Holding a dog on your lap
• 75.7%: Holding a cellphone to your ear.
Teenagers would be under much more scrutiny; 62.9% of respondents would require inexperienced drivers to install that monitoring device. Opinion was even firmer regarding drunk drivers: 81.3% would make a monitor a requirement before issuing a policy to someone with a DUI conviction.
Assuming that the monitoring device could detect turn-signal use, 74.5% would charge a driver higher rates if signals were not used when required.
Assuming that the monitoring device could detect the hours a car was being driven, 44.6% of respondents chose midnight to 6 a.m. as posing the highest risk; 30.5% chose evening rush hours of 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., and 24.9% chose morning commute hours of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.
Is this happening now?
No. Current pay-as-you-drive programs, known as telematics, use devices that can track speed, total miles driven, hard braking and hours of operation. None of them calculates insurance rates based on turn-signal use, but some do penalize drivers who are on the road in the wee hours.
All states require installation of an ignition interlock device after a DUI conviction in some circumstances. The devices do nothing except prevent a car from starting if alcohol is detected on the driver's breath.
No state requires a dash cam, and no insurance company will give you a discount for installing one. But American Family Insurance offers one to parents who want to observe and help their teens.
It's how you drive that matters
A majority of drivers surveyed rejected current rate-setting practices that did not directly relate to actions behind the wheel.
Car insurance quotes typically begin with a base rate partly determined by ZIP code. But only 11.6% of respondents in the survey said drivers who live in a neighborhood with more claims should pay more than those who live in an area that makes fewer claims.
Credit history can be a rating factor in all but three states, California, Hawaii and Massachusetts. Just 38.5% of respondents said they would include credit in their price calculations.
A lapse in coverage can deal a major blow to insurance rates. 40.5% of those surveyed said they would not consider a gap in coverage in calculating a driver's rates.
Is this happening now?
No. Unless specifically prohibited by law, almost all major insurance companies use ZIP code, credit and insurance history in calculating insurance rates because they are seen as accurate predictors of risk.
About the survey
CarInsurance.com commissioned a survey of 1,000 drivers — half male, half female — on their opinions about how car insurance can be priced. Respondents answered 14 multiple-choice questions. The survey was performed in March 2013.

The New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH), Center for
Health Statistics (CHS) received a grant from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to create the New Jersey
Violent Death Reporting System (NJVDRS). NJVDRS is a collection
of data from a variety of sources on violent deaths (homicides,
suicides, unintentional firearm deaths, injury deaths of undetermined
intent and deaths by legal intervention). Violent deaths that
occur in New Jersey or New Jersey resident violent deaths occurring
in other states are both included. In addition to our own data
analysis activities, these data will be submitted to the CDC to
become part of the National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS),
which is expected to eventually involve participation by all 50
states. The goal of NVDRS is to capture information from multiple
sources in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of violent
deaths. These data will be used to educate public health and public
safety professionals with the ultimate goal of reducing violent
Sources of data include Vital Statistics, medical examiner reports,
law enforcement reports, ballistic and crime lab reports and data
from the New Jersey State Police. NJVDRS data will be used to
produce annual reports on violent deaths in New Jersey, GIS maps
of violent death "hot spots," and public use files for
researchers. NJVDRS project staff will also evaluate the quality,
effectiveness, and sufficiency of the data by consulting with
two advisory committees consisting of professionals from law enforcement,
forensic science, public health, and other relevant areas. Copies
of selected advisory committee presentations will also be made
available on this site. CHS' partner in this project is
the Violence Institute
of New Jersey at the University
of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A staple of home football games known as the Breakfast Club could be losing steam at Purdue University.
Students still dress in outlandish costumes and hit the bars early on game days. But local business owners say the tradition is tamer than in past years.
There are still plenty of signs of intoxication. But manager Jose Fogleman of Jake's Roadhouse tells the Journal & Courier that he's seen fewer students fighting and a smaller police presence than in previous years.
Visitor Robert McGraw of West Point says the antics at a recent game provided the "best free show in town."

Community Health Center Of Cape Cod Given $6 Million Federal Grant
By: Elsa H. Partan
Published: 10/15/10
Last week, Karen L. Gardner of the Community Health Center of Cape Cod appeared before the Mashpee Planning Board to ask permission to build a 500-square-foot addition. The center would add three new dental chairs, the chief executive officer explained, a small but significant addition given the clinic's demand for dental services.
Those plans changed a few days later when the center received a federal grant of $6 million, which will allow it to build a 20,000-square-foot facility instead. The facility is planned to be twice the size of the current clinic and be built adjacent to it.
"We're just so happy and thankful," said Ms. Gardner in a phone interview this week. Ms. Gardner said the center received help in pursuing the funding from the other health centers on Cape Cod and from the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers.
"And all of our political representatives have been working so hard," she said. Ms. Gardner said she was particularly grateful to Congressman William D. Delahunt, Governor Deval L. Patrick, and the Town of Mashpee for the long-term lease of land that made the clinic's existence possible.
The 500-square-foot addition is on hold for now.
"This should negate the need for another little office," Ms. Gardner said.
An additional grant of $3,619,349 was awarded to Outer Cape Health Services in Wellfleet and a grant of $461,991 went to Duffy Health Center in Hyannis.
The funding will be provided through the Health Resources and Services Administration as part of President Barack H. Obama's health care reform bill passed by Congress earlier this year. Part of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act intends to increase the number of people who are served by community health centers from the current 20 million patients nationwide to 40 million patients, Ms. Gardner said, and her clinic needs to be ready to take on its share.
One of the top priorities for the center is to expand its dental clinic, which has hampered the center's ability to serve patients, she said.
"It's tiny. We only have room to serve 3,000 dental patients each year, but we have 11,000 patients who come through our doors each year," she said.
Ms. Gardner said that the clinic aims to serve as a "medical home" to patients, meaning that they can receive many kinds of care in one place.
"If they are connected to their health care provider, they are more likely to meet their health care goals," she said.
The center, which opened its present location on Commercial Street in Mashpee in 2008, provides primary care, mental health services, and dental care to patients, regardless of their ability to pay. About 50 percent of patients carry health insurance provided by the State of Massachusetts, while 30 percent are covered by the federal Medicare program, Ms. Gardner said. The remaining 20 percent are individuals who float in and out of private coverage depending on whether their current employers provide it, she said.
Congressman Delahunt's chief of staff, Mark D. Forest, said the clinic rose to the top of the list, in part because it had a construction project ready to build.
"They also have a very good track record," he said. "It's a very solid organization and a dedicated team. They are just excellent. They're top notch at what they do."

Syria conflict declared civil war
Jul 15 2012
Syria's 16-month bloodbath has crossed an important symbolic threshold as the International Red Cross formally declared the conflict a civil war, a status with implications for potential war crimes prosecutions.
The Red Cross statement came as United Nations observers gathered new details on what happened in a village where dozens were reported killed in a regime assault. After a second visit to Tremseh on Sunday, the team said Syrian troops went door-to-door in the small farming community, checking residents' IDs and then killing some and taking others away.
According to the UN, the attack appeared to target army defectors and activists. A UN statement said "pools of blood" were observed in a number of homes.
Syria denied UN claims that government forces had used heavy weapons such as tanks, artillery and helicopters during the attack on Thursday. Syrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Jihad Makdissi said the violence was not a massacre - as activists and many foreign leaders have alleged - but a military operation targeting armed fighters who had taken control of the village.
"What happened wasn't an attack on civilians," he told reporters in Damascus. He said 37 gunmen and two civilians were killed - a far lower death toll than the one put forward by anti-regime activists, some of whom estimated the dead at more than 100. He added: "What has been said about the use of heavy weapons is baseless."

Real-World Costs of Inkjet vs. Laser Printing
The only reason why anyone would bother with inkjet printing anymore is because it's still the cheapest way to print in color. If you need color printing and need the most cost-effective way to do it, inkjet is the way to go.
I think it's safe to say however that most people don't care about color unless you're printing photos. How many times have you run only the black cartridge with no color? Probably a lot, because it's usually the only one you care about.
The most expensive part of printing is not the paper but the ink. This is evidenced by the fact so many people try creative ways of refilling an inkjet cartridge, such as doing it themselves with a syringe or taking it to a place that offers a cartridge refilling service. Either method is hit-or-miss. Mostly miss. Yes, there will always be that guy who says, "I've been refilling cartridges for years and it always works." You don't know what that guy is printing, what printer he owns, how often he prints or if he even cares about the quality of his printouts. In addition, he's just lucky because most of time refilling inkjet cartridges usually results in "okay" printing, but certainly not great.
When home laser printers first came on the market, they were expensive and broke down constantly. Today's home laser printers are far superior compared to what we had even as little as three years ago. Warm-up time is significantly decreased, operation is now reliable and overall cost has gone down quite a bit.
Before comparing the ink cost between inkjet and laser, there are a few important things to bear in mind about laser.
1. Home laser printers are physically large – and heavy.
If you're going to use a home laser printer, you'll need dedicated desk space. While inkjet printers (that just print, not including the all-in-ones) are slim and trim, laser printers are bulky and will most likely always be that way. Why? Because they run very hot on the inside and need internal chassis space to cool down. That's just the way they work.
The bare minimum weight of a laser printer is at least 15 pounds, with most being well above that mark in the 20 to 25-pound range. It's not that you would ever need to move the printer once you set it in its place, but you do need to be aware to place it on something that can support its weight. In other words, don't place one on one of those plastic-drawer filing cabinets.
2. The most cost-effective home laser printer is still monochrome-only.
Ink still rules over laser in the color department concerning how much it costs. If you want to print in color using laser, you can, but it will cost you more in the long run.
3. Laser printers do emit particles.
Every laser printer has vents, and they're not just for heat to escape. Particles you cannot see are sent into the air from the toner when in use. Some believe that these particles are harmful to your health while others think they're perfectly safe.
No matter what you personally believe, a laser printer should only be used in a well-ventilated room, and be placed at least five feet away from you, if possible.
Cost vs. Cost
What you're supposed to do when you have ink run low in either the color or the black cartridge, you're to replace both at the same time. Nobody ever does this, but it supposedly gets you the best quality printouts according to the manufacturers.
Inkjet carts are available in single or twin-packs.
Using Lexmark as an example, the cheapest (unless bought in bulk) single black cartridge, a.k.a. a "Number 14″, is $23, shipping included. A single color cartridge is usually about two dollars more at $25, shipping included.
A twin-pack using the same brand that includes a #14 black and #15 tri-color is $44, shipping included.
End result: If you buy individual carts, the cost is $48. If you buy a twin-pack, it's $44.
The manufacturer states you will get 175 pages printed in black and 150 pages in color – but you probably will never get near that mark. A real-world estimate is more along the lines of 125 total pages you can print – and this is only if you use your printer regularly.
What I mean by using a printer "regularly" is this: You don't let your printer sit for weeks on end between prints. If you do, your carts will dry up quickly and you'll have to replace them more often. This is why I always tell people that if you want to get the most life out of your inkjet carts, use them – even if that means sending out a color test page from the printer once a week. Do not let it sit for an extended period of time. If you do, you'll get dry carts quickly, and it costs almost 50 bucks to replace them each time that happens.
You know how much an inkjet printer costs but not laser, so we'll start with that.
A decent home laser printer is the Brother HL-2140. It has many positive customer reviews and is known to be a good reliable unit. The price is is $122, shipping included. It weighs 15 pounds, holds 250 sheets at a time and has a 23ppm speed. There are other laser printers that are more robust and can print faster, but 23ppm is fine for most people. Consider that 23ppm literally means 23 printed pages per minute.
The HL-2140 is, of course, monochrome only.
For toner choices you have two. There is standard and "high yield" toner. What's the difference between the two? It means how many pages the toner can print.
A standard toner for that printer is a tick over $32, shipping included.
A high yield toner is a tick over $44, shipping included.
With the standard toner, the page yield is stated to be 1,500 pages. On the high yield it's 2,600 pages.
For printing in the home, the standard toner will work out fine. High yield toner is meant for office use where many prints in a day are required.
Doing the math
If you've done some quick math in your head, you've probably guessed already that the laser printer beats the ever-lovin' crap out of inkjet when it comes to being cost effective.
Most people who use inkjet printers ordinarily change out their carts twice a year. If you change out both like you're supposed to each time, that costs a bare minimum of $88 per year if you use the twin-packs. If you change only the black twice a year, that's $46.
The laser printer on the other hand only needs a toner change about once every 18 to 24 months or at worst once a year. During that time you would never have to worry about running out of toner because you have up to 1,500 pages you can print. And even if it's the case where you're a "bad" printer user and only print once every few weeks, the toner will still perform properly because after all, toner is just a powder.
Toner may have a higher price tag than a single black inkjet cart by around 9 to 10 dollars, but the fact it can output 1,500 pages compared to a inkjet cart's 175 is where the real savings come in.
Let's say for the moment you receive a toner that performs very poorly and only outputs 300 pages. That's still better than the best you could get with a black inkjet cart.
The end result is that you would only be spending barely over $32 a year for laser toner – if the toner wears out in only 12 months and not the usual 18 to 24.
If you can deal with the bulk of a laser printer and consider black-and-white only acceptable for your prints, dump your inkjet and go laser.
As always, before buying any new printer, read customer reviews thoroughly because yes, there are some crappy home laser printers out there. The Brother HL-2140 I used as an example for this article has proven itself to be popular, well-built and has good reliability, but that's not to say you shouldn't examine other brands. Samsung's ML-2851ND and Canon's ImageClass MF3240 are also definitely worth a look.

Not mentioned above for inkjet printing is Kodak AIO printers. Very cheap ink, and amazing photo quality prints (and decent speed for monochrome). We use it for photo printing, and mid-volume monochrome printing during school semesters.
It does auto-duplex printing, color, scanning, faxing (if anyone uses a fax anymore), photocopying, and has a separate photo paper tray that engages for prints, without removing your 8.5″x11″ paper (or at least my 5500 AIO does, not all models have this).
The largest drawback is the PITA drivers from Kodak, but I easily look past that for a device that can do so much.
The only reason I'd go for a laser is for high volume monochrome printing, for all the reasons above.
Eli August 9th, 2010 at 5:05 pm
I switched a couple of years ago and am so glad I did. I went from a Lexmark all in one, to a HP 1005 monochrome laser. The laser printer is actually smaller, but heavier, than the Lexmark. The print quality is far superior, and I've replaced my toner once since I bought it. Price was $75 shipped from Newegg for the printer, and then $60 shipped for a high yield toner cartridge. $135 for a couple of years of printing is not too bad at all.
Like you said Rich, other than color printing, there's absolutely no reason to stay with an inkjet. Laser does kick the ever-lovin' crap outta inkjets.
Bruce August 10th, 2010 at 1:43 am
Overall, I agree with your assessment. The only cost you didn't account for is the drum eventually needing to be replaced. This is one of those dirty hidden costs that a lot of people might not face if their printing load is light, but for certain groups (e.g., people who run an office out of their homes or students), should you need to replace your drum and toner at the same time, it maybe cheaper to buy a cheap laser printer.
Aaron Fournier August 11th, 2010 at 2:46 pm
As good as getting a monochrome laser printer over an inkjet printer sounds, I think I'd still rather use inkjet because I don't want to feel limited to just black and white prints.
gordintoronto August 11th, 2010 at 8:43 pm
When I want to print pictures, I send them to Walmart. I got the wireless version of the Brother printer mentioned in the article, for $99 Canadian! I have it attached to my router, and everybody can use it. It's wonderful.
With Inkjets, I tend to print every two months. That means new cartridges, every time!
Kidd August 11th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
That's an excellent solution, especially for photo printing. I've used Walmart for photos, both online and in-store. The prints are very cheap, and this is the best way IMO to get by with only a monochrome printer at home.
Pam123 August 22nd, 2010 at 4:05 pm
This used to be a forgone conclusion, you bought the printer with the computer package, but a few years ago I started recommending to customers that they skip the printer.
How often do you use it and is it worth the ink?
If you're a heavy printer user or into printing photos you already know it and this isn't for you (Unless it's just vacation photos and so on, in which case is there a Walgreen's/Duane Reade/Walmart's near you?).
But what if you printed out 4 pages last month, none the month before that, and 5 the month before that ?
Why are you supporting Lexmark or HP buying ink?
What's wrong with putting the print job on a usb key or SD card and taking it to Kinko's ( all over NYC) or one of the business support centers that have opened everywhere (They do faxes to and I have 3 within walking distance of my apt.) or even your local library ?
Time spent is 10 minutes or less and cost per page is free to .13 (That's in midtown Manhattan where everything is "pricey".).
Now granted you may not have to option of having someone else put through the printer hassle but if you do why not use it ?
Think carefully before you buy a printer, you may not need one.

And we also got a nice complimentary glass of bubbles to celebrate their first day whilst we wandered round the paintings! the city centre is so festive now! its lovely.

'Aqua Violet, a true sky shimmer; Pinky Brown, a warm rusty pink; Golden Green, a fresh energetic acid; Purple Blue, a vibrant punch of fuchsia indigo; and Emerald Black, a bold blackened midnight peacock'
it was quite hard to photograph the varnish & get all the different tones in.
i do really want to try the rest

This video features U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan taking questions about his decision to enter the 1st Congressional District primary.Tweet
I wrote an item in the St. Louis Beacon yesterday about a downtown St. Louis press conference held by House Democrats. The presser involved the lawmakers decrying their Republican counterparts for not passing most of the agenda set forth in the special session.
The above video features comments from Reps. Jake Hummel, D-St. Louis City, and Tishaura Jones, D-St. Louis City. Click on the video to see more.Tweet
It's been a rough couple of weeks for Lt. Gov. Peter Kinder.
Kinder - who was long thought to be the Republican standard-bearer for governor next year - has had to answer allegations from St. Louis bartender Tammy Chapman. In an article published in the Riverfront Times, Chapman among other things accused Kinder of being aggressive with her when she was a stripper at a Sauget club in the 1990s.
She also said that Kinder asked her to move into a condo paid for with campaign dollars when the ran into each other earlier this year at a St. Louis City bar.
In a round of media interviews last week, Kinder denied some of Chapman's allegations. He did say that he visited the strip clubs east of the Mississippi River numerous times in the 1990s.
In any case, the controversy has caused at least one major donor to pull support from Kinder. And it's caused national publications such as Hotline On Call and the Washington Post to question whether Kinder has any chance to become governor.
Here's a snippet from a Washington Post blog post:
Yet [Kinder] has survived — for now — in part because of a strong Democratic governor and a weak field of other potential candidates. (Kinder has yet to formally announce his campaign but is expected to do so in September.)
Some Republicans are saying that Kinder will have to drop his ambitions sooner or later. A major donor withdrew his support last week; a Springfield GOP committeeman emailed local Republicans saying the party needed to find a new candidate.
But the state party is standing behind Kinder, and no primary challengers have emerged. Missouri Republicans pushed back forcefully on a Politico report that suggested GOP support for Kinder was faltering.

One thing missing from Gov. Jay Nixon's special session call was anything related to disaster recovery.
And for House Speaker Pro Tem Shane Schoeller, R-Willard, that's OK. Schoeller - the chairman of a committee looking into disaster recovery options - sent out the following letter yesterday to members of the Interim Committee on Disaster Recovery:
I just finished a call with the Governor's office and he has decided to not include accessing the Budget Reserve Fund in the up and coming special session.
As our committee had previously discussed during our last hearing in July, it is premature to think we may know the extent of the costs related to the disasters that have affected, and continue to affect, the State of Missouri and the Governor has adopted our concern. Including accessing the Budget Reserve Fund in the call to special session was made in good faith that a firmer number would be available from the Governor closer to veto session. I am pleased the process is slowing down until more information is known. I firmly believe it is vitally important to include accountability in the process through a joint committee between the House and Senate and by gathering better information that will help ensure every precaution is made to be fiscally responsible with every taxpayer dollar.
Not including disaster recovery in the current call to special session does not remove the possibility that we still may be called at a later date this year or that we will not seek to make a response when regular session begins in January. We will continue to work with our communities as they implement their recovery plans. It is imperative that we stand ready to offer what assistance is necessary during their rebuilding process as related costs and requirements are confirmed.
We will also keep an open dialogue as we look into allowing assessors of occupancy counties to provide property tax abatements for commercial properties as is already allowed to residential properties, as well as looking into a streamlined method of credentialing medical professionals that travel from other states, out of kindness, to assist us if we are afflicted with such a tragedy in the future.
I look forward to continuing to work with you as we prepare our final recommendations of necessary legislative changes. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the Governor's decision or the work we have yet to complete.
Members of the legislature have considered tapping into the so-called "Rainy Day Fund" to pay for recovery efforts in, among other places, Joplin, southeast Missouri and Sedalia.Tweet

Here is the first makeup tutorial that was inspired by the characters in the hit Korean series, "The Heirs". I apologize if this took longer than expected. Hope you'll all find this tutorial helpful. :)
Hi there! :) Thanks for the suggestions! Since the semesters done, I can finally post tutorials more often. I'll do a brows tutorial soon :)
Hello! :) In my most recent tutorial, I was wearing the Geo Princess Mimi Almond Brown circle lenses :)
Yes, I'm Filipino :) My skin's not as light as it may seem and right now, due to my summer class (which requires us to go on the field and bask under the sun), my skin has become more tanned. Recommendations on how to lighten skin? As much as possible, stay away from the root cause of skin darkening, the sun. But of course, we can't stay indoors all the time so I suggest that you use sunscreen with at least spf 50 everytime you go outside. Also, skin lightening lotions gradually help in making your skin fairer, just as long as you use them regularly. Look for ones that have gentle formulations so that you don't get adverse effects from them. Exfoliating also helps since it removes dead skin cells, revealing a fresh layer of skin. Just make sure that you don't exfoliate all the time (twice or thrice a week is enough) so that your skin would have enough time to recover after exfoliation. Results may not be as instantly noticeable as you want them to be but if you do your regimens religiously, not only will your skin turn lighter eventually, you're also protecting your skin from the harmful UV rays of the sun. Hope this helps! :)
Hi! :) Right now I'm not using bb cream for my base make up. I'm currently using Clinique's perfectly real foundation. It works well for me because I have very sensitive skin and it doesn't break me out. Thank you :)
Thank you and you're welcome :)

He's not just a colleague, he's also my B(d)FF (Book Discussion Friend Forever).
His theories on metonymy and metaphor just might have changed my life.
We're both all about structure. He goes the cultural anthropology route, and I take the literary theory path.
Saussure kicked things off when he started studying how language works; i.e., words are part of a whole system of signs and the things they stand for. I just took it all a step forward. Okay, that's my false modesty speaking—more like many steps forward.
He took my interest in textual structure and ran with it—all the way to studying the nitty gritty ingredients that make up narratives.
Not only did she introduce me to Mikhail Bakhtin, but she also took my side in that whole Picard affair (filed under: when Theorists Attack).

Forbes 30 Under 30 2012: Ratio, Changing
Forbes published its annual 30 Under 30 package this week and we were pleased to see the trend of including and recognizing fantastic women is continuing and, dare we say, on the rise. We can all quibble with these lists (and I can think of a list of amazing women as long as my arm who were not mentioned, and I have extremely long arms) but overall it was gratifying to see so many great people included.
Name of this site notwithstanding, I'm not going to do a count because the categories are so wildly divergent and include the likes of Taylor Swift, Mary Kate & Ashley Olson and Adele, but here are a few favorites whose names we were glad to see. And who also would be fantastic brand ambassadors to Keds.
