The United Auto Workers was rejected at Volkswagen's Chattanooga plant on Friday evening. The National Labor Relations Board conducted the 3-day secret ballot vote, in which 89% of the 1,500 eligible workers participated.
Noting that the results would still need to be certified, Frank Fischer, CEO and Chairman of Volkswagen Chattanooga said,"On behalf of Volkswagen Group of America, I want to thank all of our Chattanooga production and maintenance employees for their participation in this week's vote. They have spoken, and Volkswagen will respect the decision of the majority."
But, VW remains committed to establishing some sort of 'works council,' unique to the US market. "Throughout this process, we found great enthusiasm for the idea of an American-style works council both inside and outside our plant," said Fischer. "Our goal continues to be to determine the best method for establishing a works council in accordance with the requirements of U.S. labor law to meet VW America's production needs and serve our employees' interests."
The battle over the vote on union representation had taken on a life of its own outside of the factory. Politicians and pundits from both sides of the aisle, local and national, were vocal in the last few weeks. But, Sebastian Patta, Vice President for Human Resources at Volkswagen Chattanooga, said, "While there was intense outside interest in this election, our managers and employees inside the plant maintained high quality production and continued to work together in a calm and respectful manner."
What will this contentious fight do to future relations now that this vote has been decided? "Our commitment to Tennessee is a long term investment," Fischer explained. "We look forward to continuing to work with the State of Tennessee and the City of Chattanooga to support job creation, growth, and economic development today and into the future."
Soon after the decision was announced, reaction began coming in to the Eyewitness Newsroom.
In a statement, Ron Harr, president and CEO of the Chattanooga Chamber wrote, "The employees have spoken, and we welcome resolution on this issue both for them and the community as a whole. No matter where you stood going into this election, we encourage everyone to come together around the goal we all share-the creation of more jobs in our community. At the Chamber, we will continue to partner with Volkswagen on the potential expansion and supplier recruitment while also continuing to promote job creation across other industry sectors to keep our local economy strong and diverse."
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), former Chattanooga Mayor and very vocal with his opposition to the UAW released a statement which read simply, "Needless to say, I am thrilled for the employees at Volkswagen and for our community and its future."
Current Chattanooga Mayor Andy Berke Tweeted, "With the vote over, we can return to building middle class and expanding our manufacturing base, including VW." A few minutes later his office released this statement, "This has always been a decision for VW and their employees. Now that their decision is made, let's focus on what matters most to our community - bringing more living wage, middle class jobs to Chattanooga."

To celebrate the diamond jubilee one had a few Sovereign Monarchs over for a light lunch of bacon sandwiches at Windsor Castle. It's nice to catch up with the extended family, most of whom are descended from Queen Victoria, and share the pain of dealing with the world's elected representatives (or "idiots" as the DoE calls them).
The King of Bahrain arrived unfashionably early at about 10am, which was a bit awkward as one was still in one's dressing gown. Still, we sat him in front of Cbeebies with a slice of toast and a glass of orange juice and he seemed quite happy.
No King and Queen is Spain, obviously. Poor things can't afford the airfare. The Queen of Spain did phone to explain that they're "all a bit buggered" over there on the continent at the moment, which struck one as a bit of an understatement. Still, one has promised to text her if Phillip Schofield shows up - she loves that man.
The King of Malaysia arrived via the garden entrance, something about tradition but one wasn't really listening, to be honest. He'd apparently stayed in London since the royal wedding last year - didn't see the point in flying back and forth. Apparently he finds ruling via Skype more than effective, which is how one tends to rule in Australia and New Zealand, come to think of it.
Lunch started promptly with a quick round-up of world news and a bit of teasing of Charles that he's still not King. The pain was shared by The King of Thailand's son, Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn and his wife Princess Srirasm (who, incidentally, is never seen without an enormous cigar), who've been waiting to accede since 1946.
Prince Albert II of Monaco got the post-lunch game of charades off to a good start. It took surprisingly long for anyone to guess what he was miming, considering that it was "Queen". It was the Freddie Mercury impression that did it in the end.
Edward always gets excited at these Royal gatherings. Hasn't seen this many Queens in one room since Elton John's birthday party, apparently. He's particularly fond of King Abdullah bin Abdul'aziz of Saudi Arabia, who's been teaching him how to play the drums.
Of course, it's always a bit awkward when one meets with other Sovereign Monarchs. One tries not to make them feel inferior about only ruling one country each, but there's no hiding the fact that one is head of state in sixteen sovereign nations and head of the commonwealth of many more. As the DoE says, "you rule". Indeed.

Call 215-248-8800
Recycle, and you may win free Snapple and underwear
Are you done with that vitamin water? Good. I'll take the bottle; just stuff it into my backpack if you don't mind. No, I haven't turned packrat. I've simply joined the RecycleBank, which bills itself as "The premier rewards and loyalty program that motivates people to recycle and to engage in environmentally virtuous activities."
The way it works is that you paste a city-issued bar code on your recycling bin, and the trash collectors (who obviously didn't have enough to do already) scan your can so that the authorities can keep track of which neighborhoods are doing the most recycling. Individual citizens in those neighborhoods then receive "RecyleBank Points," based on their neighborhood's performance, which can be redeemed for goods and services (like maybe a $200,000 grant from State Rep. Dwight Evans).
In order to sign up for the program, you just log on to recyclebank.com, tell them a little bit about yourself (hopes, dreams), upload a recent nude photo of yourself, and wait for your bar code to arrive in the mail. After that, you just need to have a computer chip implanted into your brain in order to facilitate the reward/punishment aspect of the program.
All of your subsequent movements will be tracked and evaluated in terms of their environmental righteousness. Activities like reporting neighbors who don't have bar codes will be rewarded by stimuli to the pleasure centers of the brain, while activities like putting plastic in the regular trash will result in non-lethal electric shocks and the posting of disparaging remarks about you on Facebook. In extreme cases (very rare), "Curby Bucket," the recycling mascot, will come to your home and personally punch you in the face.
The program has proved successful in many other cities, like Happyville, Utah, where compliance is now at 100%. I must say, I was skeptical about the whole affair until I got my first RecyleBank Points and felt the rush of power that ensued. The list of prizes is nearly endless: cat food, Snapple, donuts, underwear, you name it.
Personally, I want to save up all my points until I have enough to buy New Jersey (if Governor Christie doesn't do it first). I have to admit, I went a little overboard at first in my pursuit of points. I started sneaking around neighboring zip codes late at night, stealing their recyclables and putting them in my own bin.
Then I got the brilliant idea of simply making hundreds of Xerox copies of my own barcode and pasting it over the barcodes in other neighborhoods.
My point total (and those of my neighbors) went through the roof. We had 50 times the points of our nearest competitors. On my block, Snapple flowed like water. We ate donuts at every meal. "Green" became the new gold. We were pillaging and plundering our unwitting competitors throughout the city without their ever knowing it.
I guess I got a little cocky. I started bragging about my racket to everyone I met. Then one day I got a text message from the city: MR. HARRIS: WE KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING. STOP IMMEDIATELY!
This was followed by a series of dull shocks to my cerebral cortex — kind of like warning shots across the bow. That was enough for me. That night I began removing all the counterfeit barcodes I had placed, and I began traveling around the city with my new sidekick, Curby Bucket, singing the praises of curbside recycling.
So yea, I say unto ye, brothers and sisters, that there is power and glory in recycling. It will lead us from the darkness of the landfill into the gleaming light of eco-purity. Reduce, reuse, recycle,
REPENT! And I'm not just saying that because I have a chip in my brain. Honest.

First kbox induced virus (almost)
Kbox hosed my pc for awhile this morning, but it's at least somewhat fixed now. Here's the skinny:
Yesterday, I backrevved to the last 5.1 agent to fix some MI problems I had with 5.3. No problem installing the 5.1 agent, but I didn't remove the 5.3 agent first because I wanted to see if that would happen automatically. It didn't, so I uninstalled using the msiexec uninstall string. No reboot required and kbox seemed to be working.
This morning, when I logged in as either myself or local admin, it would almost load the desktop, but then log out. Long story short, after 3 hours of troubleshooting with my hard drive slaved to another pc, I discovered that kbox had changed the userinit.exe under winlogon in the registry to kuserinit.exe. I was able to change it back, so now I'm rolling again.
However, I need to backrev our other PCs until we get a working 5.3 agent. Any tips on how to handle for other PCs? Did it happen because I installed the older agent before I removed the newer one? Also, what is kuserinit supposed to do? That seems like a pretty egregious reg change.
Edit: Oh, and meant to point out that a search of kuserinit on the message board brought up 2 old posts, but not a lot of info on kuserinit.
so that the conversation will remain readable.
Nope, not a virus, really just a bug under the circumstances. The kusrinit.exe setting is also on the 5.3 agent.
I just found this:
"Please note that the KuserInit.exe is needed because it allows the K1000 client to hook into the Windows Login sequence to fire Login kbots scripts or Mananged Installations."
OK, I think I'm figuring this out. My logins failed because there's no kusrinit.exe file in the system32 folder, so the reg value didn't have anything to point to. The kusrinit file probably disappeared because I removed the newer agent after installing the old agent, so it wiped out that file (and probably others). So when I backrev the others, as long as I uninstall 5.3 first and then install 5.1, that will probably not cause any problems.
All that being said, I don't really understand why the userinit has to change for kbox. I've worked with two other desktop mgmt systems that can set things to run at user login without changing the userinit function.
Couldn't you run a script to just reset the UserInit registry after uninstalling the 5.3 agent?
Sure, if there's still a desktop mgmt tool on the pc that allows something to run as administrator or system. However, I think the real problem was the order that I installed and uninstalled the two agents. I suspect that if I uninstall one agent first, the uninstaller will flip the reg key back to the userinit.exe value like it should.
May be this will help you.
Immediate logoff after logging on after uninstalling Kbox Client
What happens is, it looks like Kace has its own version of userinit.exe, called kuserinit.exe. Userinit is what loads your profile when you login, so without this the PC doesn't know what to do and logs you back out. Kace installer repaths the registry entry to point to its version of userinit, rather then the ms one. I believe that when you remove the Kbox agant from the computer this registry entry doesn't get fixed. So what you can do is remote registry the computer, go to hklm\software\Miscrosoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon and change the entry to userinit, insted of Kuserinit.
From another computer on the same network: Run Regedit.exe (with a user with admin rights on the other PC) Point your cursor to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Select File > Connect Remote Registry Type broken computer name Navigate to the following location in registry of broken computer HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon Change Userinit to equal C:\WINDOWS\system32\userinit.exe, Exit from Registry Restart broken computer
Please rate my post if it helps
Yup, that's basically the process I used 2 days ago to fix the problem. Additionally, I found out the hard way that I had to copy kusrinit.exe, plus a couple of other kbox files from system32 on a working pc over to my pc. The userinit reference in the registry gets changed back to kusrinit automatically (probably during the agent sync), so the kusrinit file has to be in system32.
As I said in earlier posts, I think I caused my problem with my particular install/uninstall order. If you are correct that the registry entry is not flipped back to userinit after properly uninstalling the agent, that is really crappy.

This innovation will slow down the line in front of the sink. Not an improvement.
One of the museums I go to has something like this in their restrooms. When you put your hands under the sensor, it gives you some water, then some soap, then more water and finally air blows out to dry your hands. Its kind of cool, and it gives you enough time in between each step to properly wash your hands.
Agree with Bruin. You know how much water people tend to leave all over a public wash basin. It would spray all that water all over.
Kind of down on Dyson lately. Not impressed with the vacuums.
All these new air dryer technologies are kind of ridiculous. Ever try to staunch the flow from a paper cut with an Air Blade? After washing your face, can you dry it with this new Dyson system? How does one dry the countertops with these? Paper towels will always have a place in public restrooms, try as the ubiquitous "They" might to demonize them. The building I work in thought it would be clever and save a buck by pulling out the paper towel dispensers and replacing them with Air Blades. Three weeks later we had both and I rarely hear the noisy Air Blades in use. Lesson? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Somali government revives TV channel
Mogadishu, Somalia (NewsBahn) – Somalia's weak transitional government has re-launched the country's national television station that has been off air for 20 years.
An official in the Somali information ministry who asked to remain anonymous because he was not authorized to talk to the media told All Headlines News that the government-run satellite TV will be on the air in a test for the next few days.
"This is really a great victory for the whole Somali people around the world, because the re-launching of the national TV shows that signs of full sovereignty are back to Somalia after 20 years of anarchy," the official said.
"We are expecting that the TV will officially start broadcasting news next week after the opening ceremony, which is expected soon," the information ministry official said.
The official added that the station will first broadcast in the Somali language and add English and Arabic languages at a later date. "People in Africa, Asia and some European countries along the Mediterranean Sea can clearly watch the television," he stated.
Somalis last watched a government-owned national television station in January 1991. Since then, independent business television and radio stations have been operating in the country.
Special correspondent Shafi'i Mohyaddin Abokar contributed this report from Mogadishu.

"If someone is unpleasant, especially towards the women in the group?"
"especially towards the women in the group"
Mmmm noble sexism, the best KIND of sexism.
MisterMoose said...
I agree with that. I have only kicked people for being incompetent when it has caused or could cause a wipe. So a DPS that is pulling instead of the tank, is asking to get kicked in my groups. One of the worst guys I've had did this because he got "bored" and later justified it by talking about how he had three 70s.
However, if someone is being rude, unpleasant, and generally ruining the fun of the run, then that's a pretty good reason to kick them by itself. It's not pretty, and I've never had to do this to someone good, but there's no reason to waste your time with someone like that if they won't stop.
I probably should have replied to my own comment with an "in before...". Women get a lot of crap in-game that men would never get. The obnoxiousness towards women is sexist and offensive, not just rude, like what the author describes. I don't think it's that hard to make the jump in what I said.
But anyway, you are right. Opening doors and saying "you shouldn't talk to a woman like that" is ingrained.
Alchemistmerlin said...
No worries Jim, I do the same shit, I just like being snarky online.
There, I said it.
I respect you for this comment because its nice that you recognize that unwanted grief and attention is what women get just because they are female. Its not the omg she's a girl thing so she has to be treated differently.. its not like that.. its the respect that is deserved as a person.

WAUPACA, Wis. (WSAU) -- The trial is over for the woman accused of failing to care for five horses. 72-year-old Barbara Thiry of Clintonville was charged with 15 misdemeanors for not providing feed, water, or shelter to five horses that died on her property.
The court threw out two of the charges, and references to improper shelter were dismissed.
The Waupaca County jury got the case Thursday afternoon, and delivered a verdict Friday morning. They found Thiry not guilty on all remaining charges except one. She was found guilty of intentionally failing to provide food for an animal.
Thiry was sentenced immediately after the trial to a year of probation, court costs, and restrictions including that she can only have up to two horses, and only if deemed appropriate by the probation agent. If she does eventually get more horses, Thiry will have to provide the court with regular reports from the ferrier and the veterinarian. Thiry will also have to undergo counseling.

Despite Rains, Dead Sea Water Levels Falls Again In December
January 8, 2014 by UPI - United Press International, Inc.
KETURA, Israel (UPI) — Despite rainstorms that have soaked fields and filled reservoirs in Israel during December, the Dead Sea's water level still dropped, water researchers said.
Eli Raz, a researcher at the Dead Sea and Arava Science Center in Ketura said the Dead Sea fell to 427.82 meters (1,403 feet) below sea level in early January, 3 centimeters (slightly more than an inch) lower than the level measured the previous month, the Jerusalem Post reported Wednesday.
In comparison, Lake Kinneret saw an increase of 11 centimeters (slightly more than 4 inches) during the same period.
The additional drop in the Dead Sea's water level brought the basin to 0.93 meters (3 feet) below its level one year ago, Hydrological Services data indicated.
The slow in the sea's water-level decrease last month was due in part to rainy conditions and lower temperatures that slowed the evaporation rate, Raz said.
Raz said the Dead Sea's water level lost 8 centimeters (3.1 inches) in November and 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) in October.
Ten years ago, the Dead Sea basin's water level was 416.77 meters (1,367 feet) below sea level, 11.05 meters (36 feet) higher than the current level the Post said.
When considering December's drop in water level, the average annual reduction in water level for the Dead Sea is now 1.105 meters (3.6 feet), Raz said.

Flir Systems looks bright
The company designs equipment that lets you see in the dark -- maybe a good thing in this market.
Flir makes thermal-imaging and broadcast camera systems for commercial and government use. The thermal-imaging systems detect infrared radiation, or heat, enabling the operator to measure small temperature differences and see objects in daylight or total darkness and through smoke, haze and most types of fog. These technologies sort of let you see in the dark and could be used by soldiers, hunters, or even law enforcement to find marijuana grow houses.
Some analysts say that since the U.S. forces in the Middle East are one of the largest customers, the stock's glory days are over. I'm taking an opposite view and think the company's equipment will have a lot of civilian applications because, as much as we'd like to believe it, the war on terrorists will never be over and neither will the war on drugs. The stock is trading at $30.49, and a stop loss at $28.98 -- which is the present 50-day moving average -- is advised in case I'm wrong.
The stock hit 12 new highs in the past 20 sessions and is 4 for 5 recently. The past month has seen a 14.29% price appreciation; 12 of the 13 Barchart technical indicators signal buy for an overall buy rating of 96%. The stock trades above its 20-, 50- and 100-day moving averages and has a Barchart Trend Spotter buy signal.
Investor confidence as measured on Motley Fool is extremely high, with the CAPS members voting 843 to 24 that the stock will beat the market. The more experienced All Stars agree by a vote of 217 to 2. Fool notes that the columnists they follow have written positive articles 11 to 1.
The fundamentals on this stock are very strong. The Wall Street brokerage firms like it and have 9 buy and 8 hold reports published. They expect sales to increase 13.60% this year and 13.40% next year. Double-digit earnings growth projections have also been published with EPS increases of 14.50% next year and a 5 year compounded EPS growth rate of 16.32% estimated.
I'm high on this stock and adding it to my Wall Street Survivor portfolio because:
- Barchart technical buy signals for a 96% overall buy signal
- New highs in better than 50% of the most recent trading sessions
- Extremely high investor sentiment
- Wall Street buy recommendations to their clients based on estimates of double digit increases in sales and earning

What are you most proud of? I invented my own piecing technique using a tear-away foundation and even though this quilt is made up of a gazzillion squares, my rows are straight. Lol, I can't tell you how many times I've read the judge's comments "Straight rows need to be straight". Now they are
Oh boy, you are the second person to ask me to get a class together. I'll have to think about it! Thank you so much for the compliments. The pattern for the quilt is in my book Watercolor Landscape Quilts, and I think there are a few reduced price/quality books left on amazon. Krause published it and they don't have it listed anymore, it is virtually out of print.
This is so vibrant, it's wonderful. I'm just learning landscape quilting..

Elliott Sharp / Scott Fields Ostryepolya NotTwo Records 2013 The musical meeting of innovative guitarists Elliott Sharp and Scott Fields came by coincidence. Both were aware of each other's work for many years, but the opportunity of playing as a duo never arose. Each is a master composer and improviser with extensive experience accumulated in various formats. Sharp pioneered the usage of fractal geometry, chaos theory, genetic metaphors and using software in his compositions. Fields, who, like Sharp, plays the soprano saxophone, was commissioned for orchestral compositions. When ...read more
Charles Lloyd Arrows Into Infinity ECM Records 2014 Undoubtedly deserving the title modern day saxophone titan Charles Lloyd has made one of the most important contributions to the art better known as contemporary or modern jazz. Widely recognized as one of the most timeless and significant musicians in the history of jazz, his melodic sensibilities, playing style and compositions have delighted listeners and have influenced generations of musicians. Easily one of the most influential tenor saxophonists, the sound of this venerable saxophonist is recognizable in a matter of seconds. Directed by ...read more

It is the result of the labor and devotion of Don Glanden, pianist and Division Head of Graduate Jazz Studies at The University of the Arts in jny: Philadelphia, who, with his son, Brad Glanden, a media expert, spent many years researching and ...read more

Peter Gabriel Back to Front: Live in London (Deluxe Limited Blu-Ray) Real World/Eagle Vision2014 Peter Gabriel has, for most of his career, been an artist who has never looked back. Still, the past few years have seen him reevaluating his large repertoire, between orchestral interpretations documented on New Blood: Live in London (Real World/Eagle Entertainment, 2012) and the Back to Front tour that has, since that time, celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of So (Charisma, 1986)--the album that turned him from cult hero to (now) pop culture elder statesman. So turned out to ...read more

Still, the film progresses assuredly and vividly from one significant point to another as it covers the life and career of the one of the epochal figures of Sixties rock, Jimi Hendrix. Interviews with those who knew (and knew of) Jimi Hendrix at each stage of his artistic progression weave in and out of the footage, accompanied ...read more

The Who Sensation-The Story of Tommy Eagle Video 2014 In a reflection of the dynamism of their stage presence, Sensation -The Story of Tommy jumps back and forth between a history of the early Who and the seeds of inspiration that, in combining guitarist/composer Pete Townshend's ambition, encouragement from co-manager Kit Lambert and the exploratory creativity of the late Sixties, ignited a not so spontaneous combustion of rock and roll art that was Tommy. It is somewhat unsettling throughout the documentary to absorb the quick cuts of concert footage of the Who (some ...read more
In the early moments of Effortless Mastery: The Four Steps, pianist Kenny Werner notes that he never aspired to be a guru; nevertheless, he's viewed as one by a significant number of musicians. If Werner had never put a single word on paper or shared a single thought about the art of playing, practicing, and learning, he'd still be recognized as a major musical figure. Over the course of the past three-plus decades, he's done everything from solo dates to grand-scale work with orchestras, and he's played with everybody from saxophonist Joe Lovano to harmonica ace Toots ...read more
The Allman Brothers Band Live at Great Woods 1991 Legacy 2014 When The Allman Brothers Band regrouped in 1989, there were no long- term plans after the roadwork in support of the box set Dreams (Polydor, 1989). Accordingly, when the response to those concerts led to further work, including the signing to Sony/Epic Records, the support the band received, at least at first, was in keeping with the Brothers' growing (re)commitment to themselves and their loyal fanbase. Thus, a concert video filmed at one of ABB's bastions of popularity, the Great Woods ...read more
The Doors R-Evolution Eagle Vision 2014 The pristine clarity of the audio and video content on The Doors' Re-evolution, much of it unreleased, lends a ghostly quality to the film, perhaps to an even greater extent than its creators imagine. Not intended to be definitive, this two hour-plus compilation of music videos and conceptual pieces instead illustrates the ever-growing legacy of this iconic band. From the staged likes of the 'music film' for Break on Through" to the similarly lip-synced likes of performances on Dick Clark' American Bandstand," the Doors are in their ...read more
There are plenty of stellar musicians who can't teach and plenty of fine educators who lack the skills or know-how to play at a top-tier level. There aren't a lot of internationally acclaimed musicians who are also viewed the world over as exceptional teachers; saxophonist Jerry Bergonzi is one of the few. Bergonzi has traveled plenty with his horn, playing his own music and backing up bigwigs across the globe, but he's made an even bigger impact in the world of jazz education. He's managed to share his wisdom through master classes, Inside Improvisation--his series of books ...read more

While many of us can say we've had the same family doctor for many years, it's unlikely that we pay just $5 per visit. Unless we have really good medical insurance with a really low co-pay. But some patients in Rushville, Illinois can happily say that they don't even need insurance to see their doc. Eighty-seven-year-old Dr. Russell Dohner, who has been practicing since 1955, has been making headlines for being one of the last docs to charge pennies for care. He doesn't even take insurance, because he says it's not worth the bother. His philosophy: "I always just wanted to be a doctor to help people with their medical problems." In other words, not to make the big bucks.
But Dohner admits the reality is that he hardly makes enough to pay his nurses. He makes his living mostly from a farm his family owns. So clearly, he's an anomaly. But it does make you think ... shouldn't more doctors feel like Dohner and offer their patients more affordable health care?
Well, some will -- if a patient is willing to ask. You may not be able to get away with a $5 doctor's visit like the people of Rushville, but you could save money by employing a few tricks ...
What are some tips you employ to save money on doctor's visits and other health care costs?

Even with low copays and insurance, take a closer look at a bill sometime. We just payed $400 for a 5 minute "surgical procedure" to have ear wax removed from my 1 year old to get a better look for an ear infection she didnt have.
Where we live now doesnt have the handy hospital ran clinics in Target, CVS, etc, but I wish it did, if was far more ecomomical and practical to go see an experienced nurse practioner for a 2 minute strep test than deal with the hassle and inflated care from the doctors office.
The biggest thing I've learned is to be an informed consumer and advocate for myself. Before scheduling any medical procedure, I make sure I know exactly what I'm going to be charged (and shop around, since different facilities charge vastly different rates for the same procedure.) I double-check with my insurance company that the procedure will be covered, and if it's a big one I get it in writing from the insurance company so they can't go back and refuse to cover it after the fact. Before signing on with a new doctor, I check to make sure they don't charge a facility fee (learned that lesson the hard way with my daughter's last pediatrician.)
I make sure I know my insurance policy inside and out so that if something fishy comes up, I'll be alert to it. I recently had an outpatient procedure, and when the bill came it was FIVE TIMES what my explanation of benefits had said it would be. I called the hospital, it turned out to be a simple billing error, and they fixed it and sent me a corrected bill. A year ago, I probably would have just paid the thing without even bothering to check the EOB against the bill.
Uuuuggghhh.....seriously, can we let ONE ARTICLE not be about politics?! This article has nothing to do with the election, nothing to do with Obamacare, and some of us are trying to have a conversation about the actual POINT of the article instead of turning it into something political. I care just as passionately about the election as the next person, but seriously, can we at least not completely highjack someone else's article to make it about our own issues?!
I'm sorry, I thought this was a positive article.....this man is a wonderful human being! Wish there were more like him!!!

The Elk Creek Vineyards Concert Series is back with returning artists as well as some new.
The concert series has been a part of Owen County culture since 2007. Acts like country music superstar Sarah Evans, blues artist Buddy Guy and the Kentucky Symphony Orchestra have preformed at Elk Creek's outdoor amphitheater.
The concert series kicked off Saturday night with A1A: The Official Jimmy Buffet Tribute Band. The band has performed at Elk Creek each season since the series began.
The Kentucky State Police are investigating a wreck that left a Sanders woman dead.
According to a statement from the Kentucky State Police, at about 6:37 p.m. Sunday, a 1999 Ford truck driven by Brian J. Ritchey II, 28, of Bluff City, Tenn., was eastbound on U.S. 42 and turned in front of a westbound vehicle driven by Lonna D. Kehrer of Sanders.
Kehrer was killed in the wreck
A passenger in the vehicle, Cindy Keith, 30, of Norwood, Ohio, received serious injuries and was transported to University of Cincinnati.
The Owen County basketball teams had success on the court this past season. Both won the district championships in the same season for the first time in school history. While players were performing well on the court, many were also doing well in the classroom.
Five member of the boys' team and eight Lady Rebels were named to the All-Academic First Team. In order to be selected, members must have a GPA of 3.75 or higher.
My book club was planning to read Barbara Kingsolver's new book "Animal, Vegetable, Miracle" – the one about eating locally grown foods exclusively and only those in season – and so the discussion leader turns to me, and says, "And so Georgia, why don't you make Kingsolver's 'Month of May' recipe for Rhubarb Crisp on page 89 for our refreshments next month."
The Owen County track teams took part in the Region 5A Track Meet Saturday. The meet was held at Admiral Stadium in Danville. Both teams performed well and both will be sending members to the Class A State Meet next Saturday in Louisville.
As a team, the girls finished fourth overall. Danielle Hoop qualified for next week in both the 400-meter dash and the 800-meter run. Hoop won the 400-meter dash while Rachel Dauwe finished 10th. Hoop, a sophomore, also won the 800-meter run.
The regular season has come to a close for the Owen County baseball team.
The team played two road games last week.
The Rebels traveled to take on Frankfort where Owen County banged out 16 hits on their way to a 14-1 win. Matt Harris, Collin Gamble, Jordan Cox, Zach McDonald and Denny O'Toole combined for 11 hits and 13 runs batted in. Brody Layton pitched four scoreless innings to pick up the win.
Thursday night was a special night at the Owen County soccer field. The Bowling Middle School Soccer team honored a dozen eighth-graders who were playing their final home game.
Ashley Byers, Aly Minch, Andi Wash, Morgan Walker, Kaity Smith, Will Dempsey, Adam Hazlett, Jordan Henderson, James Marston Ben Allen, Austin Collins and Devin Ricketts all were recognized with their parents before the start of the game with Good Shepard.
The Rebels then went out and dropped a 3-1 decision to the visitors.
A new business will be opening in the Owenton Industrial Park, bringing about 32 new jobs to the community.
In a statement released late last week, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear announced KHI Foods Inc. will expand into Owen County.
The company, which already has a facility in Burlington, will be expanding its operations. The new operation represents a $1.6 million investment.
Owen County Judge-Executive Carolyn Keith said she was "excited" about the announcement.
The Owen County softball team took part in the 31st District Tournament earlier this week at Henry County.
Before heading to New Castle, the Lady Rebels had to finish the regular season. They did so by playing three home games.
The first came May 11 as the team hosted Frankfort. The game against the Lady Panthers was Senior Day for Sarah Bihl.
She was recognized before the game and then helped the Lady Rebels pick up an 8-0 win. The senior had two hits, drove in three runs and also scored twice. Jensen Wainscott had two hits and scored two runs.
The Owen County Fiscal Court met Tuesday for the first reading of the 2009-2010 budget.
Owen County Judge-Executive Carolyn Keith held several budget workshops this year to help magistrates make decisions concerning the budget.
The budget has been submitted to the Department of Local Government to be approved.
Keith said the budget has seen some cuts this year.
"The budget has been trimmed of some excess items," Keith said. "We've cut back on training, conventions and things like that."

I made this for some vegetarian friends and paired it with a Southwestern salad of mixed greens, fresh corn, red onion, avocado and cilantro dressing. They loved it! I like that it feels creamy without having any dairy in it. One thing though -- even a small serving is extremely filling. I felt stuffed afterwards. It must be fiber from all the beans. :P

Hearty and healthy is right. It's also tasteless!
skspillman Posted: 07/28/11
I made this for my lunches at work this week, and it is very filling and tasty. Due to the reviews that said it was somewhat bland, I added more of each of the spices and vegetables, along with half a red bell pepper. I also left the soup somewhat chunky instead of smooth.

It appears that one of the primary reasons Democrats are so tickled by the selection of Congressman Ryan as Governor Romney's vice presidential pick is that "he's known as the 'Kill Medicare!' guy." In 2008, Senator McCain creamed President Obama in the 65+ demographic. With Ryan on the Republican ticket, Obama might have a fighting chance with seniors this year.
That's one assumption. The other assumption is that Ryan (and by extension, Romney -- is that the tail wagging the dog, I see?) really intends to purposefully kill Medicare.
Let's back up. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) analyzed Ryan's 2010 budget proposal at Ryan's request. The Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) summarized that analysis in a white paper, published in April 2011. The analysis isn't pretty, and it's made for a great Democratic talking point.
In 2022, the projected cost of purchasing a Medicare equivalent plan is equal to 35 percent of the median 65-year-old's income. By 2050 the cost is projected to rise to 68 percent of the median 65-year-old's income...[The projected payment to buy a Medicare equivalent policy] would be equal to 200 percent of the income of the median 85-year-old.
Looks terrible, right?
Ryan has since revised his budget proposal, both in 2011 and again this year. CBO's most recent analysis, from Q1 2012, is inconclusive. But even the detailed 2011 CBO analysis of Ryan's 2010 budget admits that projections are "highly uncertain, particularly in the longer term." Everybody's crystal ball is on the blink.
That's really the crux of the matter here. Not simply that we can't accurately predict dollar figures ten, twenty, or forty years out, but that we can't accurately predict what our budgetary priorities will be in the future.
If you read the portions of Ryan's FY12 budget proposal that deal with Medicare, it's clear that (on the surface, at least) his intent is to offer a fiscally viable means of continuing Medicare.
[T]his budget will save Medicare for future generations, protecting those in and near retirement from any changes while forging for younger workers a Medicare program modeled on the system of affordable, quality health coverage options now enjoyed by members of Congress.
…This is not a voucher program, but rather a premium-support model. A Medicare premium-support payment would be paid, by Medicare, to the plan chosen by the beneficiary, subsidizing its cost.
Not so terrible, right?
Of course, there's unsubstantiated partisan jabs in the Ryan budget proposal -- specifically the claim that the ACA "raids" Medicare (refuted by PolitiFact.com) -- but that's the job of politicians, to compare and contrast themselves with the other party. But Ryan supporters and dissenters alike ought to read his proposal more closely before making broad statements about his intentions. Same goes for the ACA.
Back to the viability of the budget proposal. If CBO can't make any definitive predictions as to whether this specific plan will succeed or not, I'm wary of anybody on either side of the aisle who claims that they can.
Can we save Medicare, as both sides purport to want to do? Of course! We can do anything if it's important enough in relation to other competing budgetary priorities.
But therein lies the problem. Our priorities as a nation shift as capriciously as those of a four-year-old, and we protest just as loudly when we get what we supposedly wanted and it turns out to be not at all what we wanted. Conversely, we get so wrapped up in opposing what the other guy supposedly stands for that we're blinded to the points on which we agree.
This post is part of a weekly conversation with our Moms Matter 2012 political bloggers. To see the original question and what the other writers have to say, see Should Medicare Be Replaced by Subsidies?

You do realize that Ryan is not running for president don't you? Why would you waste a whole post about "his" ideals? It should be Romney's plans you write about. People must really be scared to be giving this man this much attention.
Our priorities as a nation shift as capriciously as those of a four-year-old,
Actually, the priorities of the LEFT shift as capriciously as those of a four year old. The priorities of the grown-ups of the nation are simple - stop spending money we don't have. Right now. Not in 10, 20, or 30 years. Cut spending right now - not in 10, 20 or 30 years. And not the Liberal definition of "cut spending", which involves taking money from one program and funneling it to a different program, and calling that savings....you know, like taking $700,000,000,000 out of the Medicare budget to fund Obamacare.
People don't want to admit to that HockeyMom. I've been saying that for 6 months. I live in a rural farming community and my elderly neighbors have to travel a LONG way, 60 miles round trip, to use Medicare and most of them don't drive anymore. There are a lot of them who just pay when they go so they can keep their doctors. I know of one person who moved into a "community center" just so she could have the same doctor. What's happening to them is scary and sad but everyone who is an Obama lover won't admit this isn't working. It's got to change no matter who's in charge but it can't be what it is now. There will be no more small town clinics in the near future. Who's defending the seniors now?
I don't know HockeyMom.
The thing is when you tell people that not all clinics, hospitals and such don't accept it, they don't believe you. My mom thinks it's illegal not to accept it but she's also got Blue Cross and Blue Shield as a supplement so it hasn't affected her yet. She'll still vote for Obama. We cancel eat other out!!! The die hards who haven't been affected just think everything is rosy. Our insurance as a small business owner has really gone down hill too. We had better insurance for our employees BEFORE we HAD to have it for them!
Wow another blog bashing Ryan's plan, what a shocker! Out of curiosity when are you guys going to critique Obama's plan? Oh thats right because he doesn't have one. Jafe my Grandma is pissed at Obama and the changes to Medicare and she is a life long democrat. I am so sick of hearing that Obamacare raiding Medicare's funds is a good thing. I guess what I'm learning from the blogs and comments on the left here is that you people are perfectly happy to be useful idiots and there is no logic to save you.

Rosie and I haven't been doing a whole lot of crafting lately. New baby sister might have something to do with that, wink wink. I wanted to do at least one patriotic activity with this cutest little Miss America of mine. These bubble blowers were the most perfect and easiest DIY for us.
You just need paper straws and washi tape (or any kind of tape)- we had this glitter star tape as well.
Tape together 7 straws, dip in bubbles and blow.

Toni Morrison on Love, Loss, and Modernity
…She never remarried. "I don't think I did any of that very well," she has said of that time. "I did it ad hoc, like any working mother does." But not every working mother wakes up every day at four in the morning to write. This is how she wrote The Bluest Eye – turning it from a short story she had started five years earlier into a novel. Morrison has never discussed her reasons for leaving her husband but has hinted in the past about how he wished for a more subservient wife. ("He didn't need me making judgments about him," she said, "which I did. A lot.") Today, it's clear she doesn't see the divorce as a life-changing event.
"There are women in the world who get divorced and that's what they do," she says. "Their conversation is about it. He or she didn't, or I used to, or therefore, and all of their emotions, all of their activity is about that one break-up. Why it happened, what was involved – they never move past it." She pauses. "It's a big thing, I guess, but it's not that big…

"Adults, older girls, shops, magazines, newspapers, window sign - all the world had agreed that a blue-eyed, yellow-haired, pink-skinned doll was what every girl child treasured. 'Here,' they said, 'this is beautiful, and if you are on this day "worthy" you may have it.'"

Hip Hop Journos Speak Out Against Sexism
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Last month, Kim Osorio, former editor-in-chief of The Source, and Michelle Joyce, former vice president of marketing, filed charges of gender discrimination and sexual harassment against co-owners Raymond "Benzino†Scott and David Mays. In response to the allegations, Scott and Mays were quoted in interviews with AllHipHop.com alleging that Osorio engaged in sexual relationships with several rappers while employed by The Source.
Confused about the relevance of Osorio's alleged affairs in connection with the law suit? If so, you certainly wouldn't be alone. Established hip-hop journalists Elizabeth Mendez Berry, who recently wrote a controversial piece about hip-hop and violence against women for Vibe magazine, and Jeff Chang, author of "Can't Stop Won't Stop: A History of the Hip Hop Generation," also failed to see the relevance.
A petition denouncing sexual harassment at The Source is now circulating on line. Mendez Berry and Chang, who, along with Joan Morgan, are behind the petition, discuss their reaction to allegations of sexual harassment at The Source and what prompted the petition.
PopandPolitics.com: What was your initial reaction to the allegations of sexual harassment at The Source?
Jeff Chang: I wasn't surprised. Sexual harassment at The Source and in the "urban music industry" has been a poorly kept secret for decades. As women have moved into leadership, particularly in hip-hop journalism, I think there has been more push-back. But we haven't reached the tipping point yet past which there's an open conversation and a trend towards changing the situation, so most women I see still suffer in silence.
PP: What was your reaction to the comments Mays and Benzino made about Kim Osorio's sexual relationships?
Elizabeth Mendez Berry: Part of me laughed. How oblivious can they be? Who are their lawyers? As far as I know, Mays initially tried to retract his statements about Osorio, but then the following day Benzino said the same thing about her, and soon after, Mays was reiterating it himself [on AllHipHop.com]. So they feel pretty comfortable with what they've said.
Their arrogance, and the fact that they had no idea that what they were saying was completely self-incriminating, really spoke to the level of entitlement that some men in hip-hop feel. And of course, these are two men who say that they are on a crusade to preserve the music, men who consider themselves community leaders. I also found it really interesting that Mays, a white man who was so invested in critiquing Eminem's sexism against women of color, was so quick to jump back into the old "she's a ho / she's a bitch†paradigm when two women of color confronted him. Benzino was up there criticizing Eminem as well, but it seems like both of them were fair-weather feminists.
So that was kind of amusing. At the same time, I was really saddened: the idea that a woman bringing a suit would be subject to this kind of speculation is frightening for anyone who works in the business. Plus the fact that a significant number of people spent time on the Internet speculating about Osorio's sexual history really reminded me of how sexist our community is.
PP: How did this petition come about?
EMB: The thing for me was getting it on the public record that what Mays and Benzino had said was unacceptable to other people who are part of the profession. Oftentimes in hip-hop, we get exasperated and furrow our brows and then we don't do anything, so I wanted to present a clear response to their behavior that came from within hip-hop journalism, so that it would not be seen as outsiders wagging their fingers. I feel like we need to be clear that this is a profession and that people are expected to behave professionally. Just because it is hip-hop doesn't mean people can get away with behavior that would never be tolerated in any other context.
I was mad, and I wasn't sure what to do about it, so I started drafting up a letter that expressed my concerns. I spoke with a few friends, as well as the REACH coalition, and they told me that they were supportive. I thought about having another few people I knew sign onto it. I spoke with Joan Morgan about it, she was down, and we developed a list of people who we thought might sign it. Joan also added language, she ran it past a few friends, and then we showed it to Jeff, who also added language. He added some folks to our wish list of signers, and then Joan suggested that we make it a petition, because that would be easier than sending it to friends in another way.
We posted it, expecting maybe a hundred signatures, and now we're up to 1500. So I guess some other folks feel the same way as we do. Veteran hip-hop journalists including Sheena Lester, Dream Hampton, Kevin Powell, Harry Allen and Oliver Wang have all signed it, and so have former Source editors like Selwyn Seyfu Hinds and Reginald Dennis, as have lots of other music industry folks, activists, academics like Mark Anthony Neal and Tricia Rose, music industry vets like Thembisa Mshaka and Dante Ross, community activists like Adrienne Maree Brown and Rosa Clemente, and even an elected official, Eric Mar, the President of the San Francisco Board of Education. Even though Mays and Benzino are powerful individuals, there are a lot of big names standing up to them.
PP: As writers covering hip-hop, considering how established Source is in the world of hip-hop journalism, are you worried about how initiating this petition might effect your working relationship with your peers?
JC: If we are punished for doing this petition by editors, their venues don't want us anyway. But, on the contrary, I have only heard positive feedback from people within the journalism community. We're supposed to be about surfacing the truth, and discussion about sexism in the industry is something that has long been suppressed.?
PP: What can average folks, who don't agree with what's happened at The? Source, do?
JC: Write letters to advertisers and to other community leaders that work with the magazine expressing your disgust and asking them to reconsider working with the magazine. Those are profound pressure points. Mays and Benzino pride themselves on representing the community and doing solid, independent business. They can make that claim only in the absence of the actual community voicing their concerns about the status quo at the magazine and in the industry. If Mays and Benzino are hearing from the leaders and advertisers, they may be prompted to think a lot more seriously about what they're saying and doing.
Take Action! Check Out and Sign the Petition.
