PBS NewsHour: Brown On California Budget Cuts: 'Better To Take Our Medicine Now' Following serious cuts initiated by former Gov. Schwarzenegger, [Gov. Jerry] Brown also will be cutting welfare, social services and health care for the poor (Michaels, 1/10).
California Healthline: Brown Details 'Painful' Cuts to Health Care The cuts, which total $12.5 billion, include some large reductions in health care services, including:$1.6 billion cut from Medi-Cal; $1.5 billion savings from reducing eligibility period for state health services; $1 billion cut from developmental services; $1 billion cut from In-Home Supportive Services; and $716 million reduction in child care services, including reduction in levels of subsidies (Gorn, 1/10).
Connecticut Mirror: Malloy Has Plenty Of New Ideas, Not Enough Dollars Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's transition team presented more than 1,800 pages worth of policy recommendations Monday ... The health care recommendations ... focused on federal and state-level reform efforts, redesigning the health care system to pay more for primary care and less for specialty care, emphasizing prevention and wellness, and creating health care jobs. Numerous proposals were tied to the state's $4 billion Medicaid program (Phaneuf, Rabe and Becker, 1/10).
The Baltimore Sun: State Releases Plan To Implement Health Care Reform A panel charged with mapping out reform gave Gov. Martin O'Malley a 16-point plan Monday that recommends creation of a new oversight office and a government body to run the exchange where the uninsured will buy private insurance.

Jonah Pearson ⇢ 18 ⇢ Musician ⇢ FC: Shane Harper ⇢ Open
Jonah grew up in the same town as Sarah, though he never thought that he'd move from that small Oklahoma town. His focus was always on football in school, what else was there to do in such a place? His interest was never in anything that would 'make him famous', that was Sarah's dream. During last year's fall dance when the band didn't show up, Sarah got Jonah to get up and sing with her and that was the first taste of musicality he'd experienced. He found it to be a lot like football in a sense, people were cheering him on and it was a rush. He got an acoustic guitar and started to practice, focusing on the guitar more than singing because he felt like the guitar was his calling more than the latter. Finally when Sarah left for L.A., Jonah woke up. He realized that he didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps and become the Mayor, he wanted to break away just as Sarah did. His thought process was different than his ex-girlfriend's though, he wasn't just going to jump into anything.
When he heard from Sarah after she'd gotten settled into the Palm Woods, he decided he wanted two things: One was to get her back, and the other was to use his musical skills to get him somewhere in life. That's when he set his mind on following Sarah to L.A., it was set in stone when she came back for a quick visit and he realized that he didn't want to stay behind and live life without her close to him. Once he got to the Palm Woods he quickly gained friends, he was always one of the outgoing and popular guys back home and so he pretty much fit that persona in L.A. as well, only slightly less irritating than most of the usual 'popular' people such as Jett. He is amiable and determined and he will stick up for his friends, especially Sarah when they truly believe in something. He just wants to make something of himself and make his father proud, not as a Mayor, but as a musician instead.

The Unbundling of Publishing
Tonight I am giving a brief talk at a Publishing Point event organized by Susan and Jenny. Here are some notes that I pulled together in preparation, written up as a blog post.
At USV one of our big investment thesis is that the internet is resulting in massive unbundling of existing business models and value chains. Newspapers are a great example of this process with different sections, including crucially classifieds, now being unbundled across many different web sites with breaking news on Twitter. In education we are seeing it with individual courses or subject areas being unbundled through the likes of Coursera or Codecademy. And in finance traditional banks are being unbundled with specific areas such as consumer credit taken over by companies such as Lending Club.
Publishing too is likely subject to unbundling. The historic bundling of selecting, editing, designing, marketing, selling, printing, distributing and licensing arose in a world in which printing and distributing was expensive. That expense is at the heart of the publishing model in which the publisher finances the expense and in return owns the content. Today printing and distribution on the Internet are free. And we are already seeing the beginnings of the unbundling happening.
Selecting: With printing expensive there was a premium on selecting first and publishing second. In that world selecting was done by highly paid specialists. Now everyone publishes and the universe of readers are all engaged in the selection process.
Editing: A quick look on marketplaces such as ODesk and eLance let me find thousands of freelance proof readers and book editors already. And here too readers can be much more involved than before as you can publish first and correct errors easily.
Designing: Networks such as Behance are making access to creatives available for everyone. On community sites such as Wattpad, community member are creating cover art and illustrations.
Selling, Printing and Distributing: These steps are disappearing and/or being replaced by automated self-service models that are openly accessible to anyone.
Licensing: Parceling out subsidiary rights or dealing with movies was done by publishers because they held the rights due to the financial model. But in a world where more creators own their rights this will become a separate function handled more in the model of a talent agency.
Financing: In a world where the core traditional expense has been eliminated and other expenses are shifting to networks of individuals (editing, designing) the remaining step to be unbundled is financing. And there crowdfunding is making a real difference. Kickstarter alone has seen over 3,000 funded book projects that have raised over $20 million total.
What does this mean for existing publishers? Of course this unbundling process won't happen overnight. So in the near term, I expect that we will see ongoing consolidation in the industry, not unlike what we have seen in music publishing. At the same time, new businesses will arise that will specialize in some of these functions, much as we have seen in other industries.

Need help with lion pattern
I am trying to crochet a lion pattern that I found on liine but I am having trouble with one section.
Can you please help.
the pattern is at http://www.naturallycaron.com/projects/pretoria/pretoria_1.html
the section im having trouble with is the follwoign:
With A, form adjustable ring.
Rounds 1–10: Work Rounds 1–10 of head—60 sc.
Any help would be apprecitated!
Thank you
Mon, 12/14/2009 - 09:06
Pattern wording
Is it the wording "Work Rounds 1-10 of head" that is giving you trouble? That makes it look like you are supposed to work over those rounds or something.
It should read "Work AS rounds 1-10...."
Is there something else that's a problem?
By the way, that is one cute pattern. I think I'll make it after I finish all the holiday catch-up K&C I have to do.
I'm doing a couple of knitted toys from Kath Dalmeny's World of Knitted Toys. It's a wonderful book with more varieties of animals (and people) than I've seen in any other collection. Just knitting, unfortunately, but if you do both it's a winner.
Mon, 12/14/2009 - 14:44
RE: need help with lion pattern
Is your question about forming an adjustable ring?
If I remember correctly, wrap the tail end around two fingers 2-3 times, crochet into that circle (just as you would normally in a ring of chains), then pull the tail end so the circle closes tightly.
Mon, 12/14/2009 - 15:51
adjustable ring
The pattern actually includes the alternate directions for an adjustable ring, the procedure involving just holding the ring and working into it. I actually find that easier than working it around my finger.
This reminds me that several years ago a woman who identified herself as a frequent judge of crocheted items said that if she didn't find centers begun that way the item lost points (I believe she said something like "it goes to the bottom of the pile"). In other words, she didn't approve of slip knots. Another writer countered though that she had won a national contest and had begun her work with slip knots. Another craft disagreement that will no doubt not be settled in my lifetime....

Waiter, there's a bat in my rice! A field report by Ian Redmond, CMS Ambassador
Waiter, there's a bat in my rice!
A field report by Ian Redmond, CMS Ambassador
I like bats. True, I've never studied them formally, but I've worked alongside chiroptologists on expeditions and once accepted an invitation to dinner in a remote village in Papua New Guinea where flying fox was on the menu (nice stew, but the meat does taste rather like bats' armpits!). I also lived in a cave for six months in Kenya studying elephants, and shared the cave with thousands of tongue-clicking fruit bats and several species of insectivorous bats whose flight path out of the cave was over the ledge on which I camped, so it was like having a ceremonial fly-past every evening at dusk.
Yesterday, however, I had a closer than expected encounter with an Asian bat. I am in Sumatra to take some 'panos' (spherical panoramic photographs) for virtual ecotourism - a new concept in conservation education. Although primates and elephants are my primary goal, because it is the CMS Year of the Bat, I promised to seek out a bat roost to do a pano surrounded by flying bats (watch out for this in the coming weeks). At supper in our hotel beside Lake Toba, a rather different encounter occurred. I was enjoying watching a largish insectivorous bat flitting around the open-walled dining room doing a good job at reducing the number of mosquitoes around the ceiling lights. Some diners were flinching worriedly as it fluttered past; one man tried swatting the bat with his flip-flop while another tried with a menu. I was about to intervene, but seeing how easily the bat avoided the clumsy humans, flitting around the relatively slow-moving swats, decided to finish my meal (a fish from the lake sizzling on a hotplate, with a side dish of rice). Suddenly a bat crash-landed into my rice and expired – or maybe it expired and dropped into my rice. At first I thought a swatter had succeeded, but no – all observers agreed the bat had just plummeted onto my plate. I had barely noted that it was a horseshoe bat when, before I could take a closer look, the waiter picked it up by the wing-tips and flicked it over the balcony into the garden far below – even before I'd had a chance to take a photograph! And when I searched later, it had gone – probably eaten by one of the skinny, stump-tailed hotel cats. So why did an apparently healthy bat drop dead – literally – in mid-flight? Well, I reasoned, it could have been some deadly disease (so I asked for a new plate of rice!) but on the other hand it might have simply been old age: there are millions of bats around the world and every individual must die eventually – but the chances are pretty slim of one dying at the exact moment when its final trajectory will drop it into a CMS Ambassador's dinner – especially during the Year of the Bat.
© Maria Hoffmann
The reaction of the other diners, though, indicates just why the Year of the Bat is so necessary – most people still regard bats with fear and revulsion rather than awe and wonder, and dislike them rather than appreciate them for their aerial agility and consumption of potentially harmful insects. So when I do find a bat roost and take a pano, I'll send the link to the waiter so he might look anew at the flying visitors to the hotel dining room.
Australia: Grey-headed Flying fox in danger By Nick Edards, Batwatch Australia
Australia: Grey-headed Flying fox in danger
By Nick Edards, Batwatch Australia
The Grey-headed Flying fox (Pteropus poliocephalus), which is only found in eastern Australia, is one of the world's largest bats. Due to a rapid decline in numbers and high rates of habitat loss in the 1990's it appears as a threatened species on the IUCN Red List. The species is also protected under the EPBC Act (Australian Commonwealth law).
Grey-headed Flying foxes roost together in aggregations known as camps and the number of animals in any given location varies significantly over time as animals move in response to a number of factors including the availability of local food resources. Research has shown that whilst some animals may spend much of their lives in a particular region, others move freely throughout the species' whole range which extends for more than 2,000km.
This nomadic existence leads to large numbers of animals suddenly appearing in one location. This often gives rise to claims that Grey-headed Flying foxes are appearing in "plague proportions" and therefore should not be classified as a threatened species. However, these assertions ignore the reality that the appearance of large numbers of animals in one location will be offset by the disappearance of a similar number of animals elsewhere.
© Nick Edards
When large numbers of flying foxes establish camps in urban areas, they often attract a broad range of views in the community with calls to cull or disperse (evict) the bats. Other voices in the community call for the bats to remain undisturbed. Dispersal, by using noise and other methods in an attempt to permanently drive animals out of their habitat. This approach is often claimed to be an effective way of getting rid of bats from certain areas. In practice, dispersals have a long history of failure.
Changes in Australian federal government policy will probably result in more dispersals taking place in future. To date the
© Nick Edards
impacts of dispersal on the breeding success of the species are very poorly understood the long-term effect of any given dispersal - let alone the cumulative effect of multiple dispersals - may not be determined for many years.
When natural food sources are scarce, flying foxes may attempt to feed on fruit in commercial orchards where they may be shot. Whilst one Australian state authority is working actively to reduce the number of bats that are shot in orchards, another is now planning to reintroduce shooting despite there being broad agreement that the practice is both largely ineffective and cruel. Many animals die slowly from their wounds. As shooting takes place at the same time as young are being raised, orphaned young are left to die of starvation or dehydration.
The Grey-headed Flying fox faces an uncertain future and it will take strong advocacy on the part of conservation and welfare groups to ensure that adequate resources are committed to ensuring that the species is viable in the long term.
Batwatch Australia is committed to protecting native flying foxes from threats to their conservation and welfare.

Although South East Queensland hosts a sizeable flying fox population, numbers are in rapid decline. Spectacled flying foxes are listed as 'Vulnerable' under the Commonwealth Environment Protection & Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). As of 2008, the species is listed as 'Vulnerable' on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. In December 2001, the Grey-headed flying fox was also listed as vulnerable under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. Flying foxes suffer many hazards in modern Australia such as barbed wire and nets set to protect fruit trees in gardens, dog attacks, collisions with cars, electrocution on powerlines, illegal shooting, colony persecution and habitat destruction. These human hazards are compounded by natural attrition from predators as well as seasonal flowering failures and extreme climatic occurrences such as cyclones and extremes of heat and cold.
Each and every year across Australia, thousands of flying foxes die a violent death on barbed wire fences and from being trapped in backyard drape netting. Flying foxes have traditionally been viewed as a pest species and this mindset has been reinforced by the media and a newly elected State Government that considers reintroducing the shooting of flying foxes as a legitimate method of crop protection.
The role that flying foxes play in spreading seeds and pollinating our forests cannot be underestimated. They have developed a symbiotic relationship with Australian forests that has endured for millions of years and ensures our forests remain healthy and diverse. State governments have repeatedly failed to recognize the flying foxes' vital role. Australia's essential forest pollinators are

reviled and persecuted wherever they roost. The unfounded and irrational fear of disease has played a pivotal role in the vilification of flying foxes across the country.
Flying foxes are the gardeners of Australia's forests but they are afforded very little protection and their future is by no means assured.

China: Sustaining "Good Luck"
By Jianhong Xia
Magazine Nature & SciTech, in affiliation with the Shanghai Science & Technology Museum
In 2011 I visited the South Philippines where local people guided me to a bat cave in Samal Island. The cave is home to the largest known colony of the Geoffroy's Rousette fruit bats (Rousettus amplexicaudatus) in the world with a population of 1.8 million. All the bats roost along the walls of the cave like black leaves.
As an environmental journalist and editor for the magazine Nature and SciTech, I decided to help raise awareness of bat conservation. Meanwhile, I happened to meet and then interviewed two graduate students, Ambre Graham and Lindsey George from the Christopher Newport University (CNU) in Virginia, USA. Both of them studied this species on Samal Island. While researching additional resources online, I came across the Year of the Bat Campaign 2011-2012 led by the UNEP Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) and the Agreement on the Conservation of Populations of European Bats (EUROBATS).

The Year of the Bat opened a new world to me! I realized that bats are really smart animals. Although they are very useful for humans, they are threatened by human activities. Actually in Chinese culture bat (Bianfu) means Good Luck, "fu". Bats are linked to culture, environment and science. I raised the topic and persuaded my boss to report the Year of the Bat as the theme of the July issue of the Magazine.
© Jianhong Xia
Year of the Bat Ambassador Dr. Merlin Tuttle, one of the leading scientists and bat conservationists in the world contributed an article about the ecological services provided by the flying mammals, such as pollination, pest control and fertilizer. Ambre Graham and Lindsey George shared their new discoveries on fruit bat behaviour in the Philippines. Ambre describes the reproductive behaviour of this species. This animal gives birth while hanging upside down. Lindsey examined their grooming behaviour and found out that they do this to stay in good health. Dr. Jinshuo Zhang shared his bat stories with my audience. He works as not only a researcher but also an educator at the National Museum of Zoology, China.
In his article, the young specialist also mentioned the impact of careless management on bat caves by local tourism agencies.
The Magazine celebrates the Year of the Bat by organizing and publishing articles, thus enabling the public to understand and appreciate the fascinating creatures properly. We hope "fu", good luck in Mandarin, be sustained forever.

Malaysia: Terangganu bans hunting of flying foxes By Sheema Abdul Aziz, Rimba
Malaysia: Terangganu bans hunting of flying foxes
By Sheema Abdul Aziz, Rimba
Scientists in Malaysia are spreading the good news that the state government of Terengganu has agreed to protect flying foxes. Terangganu is the third state to ban Pteropus hunting after Sarawak in 1998 and Johor in 2010.

Rimba, which means 'jungle' in Malay, is a group of biologists conducting research on threatened species and ecosystems in Malaysia. This non-profit research group was established in Malaysia in November 2010.
Late last year Rimba lobbied the Terengganu state government in
Peninsular Malaysia to impose a ban on issuing licences to hunt flying foxes in the state. The two species occurring in Malaysia – the mainland Large Flying fox (Pteropus vampyrus), also known as the giant fruit bat, and the Island Flying Fox (P. hypomelanus) - are both decreasing in numbers. Under Peninsular Malaysia's Wildlife Conservation Act 2010, flying foxes can be legally hunted year round with a licence from the Department of Wildlife and National Parks (PERHILITAN). There is no annual restriction for the number of licences.
Concerned by the number of flying foxes being shot by hunters for food, medicine, sport and fun, Rimba submitted a proposal outlining the importance of flying foxes and the ecosystem services they provide to people, and also highlighted the threats they are facing in the country.
After the ban became effective in mid-February, the Terengganu PERHILITAN stopped issuing licences to hunt flying foxes. Rimba has also recommended that the authorities enhance monitoring and law enforcement, and gazette roost sites and important flying fox habitat such as swamps for protection. The wildlife authority is still expected to follow up on this.

Rimba intends to embark on further research on the role of flying foxes and other fruit bats in terms of pollination and seed dispersal, and also the hunting and trade of these bats. Rimba is also keen to contribute to the mitigation and management of fruit crop damage and zoonotic diseases that involve bats.
Our research group is planning to lobby other state governments in Peninsular Malaysia to follow Terengganu's example. While an important step has been taken with the hunting ban, more challenges need to be addressed. As these bats migrate across international borders to Thailand, where hunting is already illegal, and Sumatra (Indonesia) in pursuit of fruiting and flowering trees as well as new roosting sites, regional cooperation is needed in order to effectively protect and conserve these bats.

New Zealand: Promoting educational activities to conserve bats By Ben Paris, Senior Biodiversity Advisor, Auckland Council
New Zealand: Promoting educational activities to conserve bats
By Ben Paris, Senior Biodiversity Advisor, Auckland Council

Two species of endemic bats live in New Zealand (New Zealand Long-tailed Bat Chalinolobus tuberculatus, and New Zealand Lesser Short-tailed Bat Mystacina tuberculata) both of which are highly threatened species. Only relatively recently has it been discovered that remnant populations of Long-tailed bat are surviving on the edge of some of our cities. This has provided some unique opportunities to get the urban human population involved with bat awareness and conservation.
Hamilton is one of the few cities in New Zealand to still support a resident population of Long-tailed bats. Project Echo began in 2009, is a multi agency conservation programme focusing on protection and education around urban populations of Long-tailed Bats. Project Echo aims to gather information on bat distribution throughout Hamilton city. This project could lead to on-going work to protect bat roosting trees and provide predator control.
Nocturnal tours have run 16 times with a total of 317 participants ages between 5 and 70. Bats are the main feature of this tour, but it also includes glow worms, spiders, owls and eels. A survey by Waikato Museum found more than 50 per cent of participants in the tours did not know New Zealand or Hamilton even had bats, but after the tour more than 90 per cent will check for bat occupation before felling a tree.
These tours have led to opportunities to allow the community to apply to fund their own bat detectors for their own citizen science research. Local schools and technical institutes have donated their time to make and install community bat roost boxes. To date none of the bat roost boxes has been occupied (the oldest has been in place for 18 months) but Project Echo is experimenting with different wood, designs and locations to see what New Zealand bats may like.
In Auckland, the "bat movement" seems to spread by word of mouth. NZ Batman, the bat spokesperson, has talked at various community group meetings, international conferences, and school groups. The school groups are the most rewarding with over 100 excitable children between 6 and 10 years old who have now become enthusiastic bat advocates after their presentation from NZ Batman.
Various letters and drawings from the school kids show they are now huge fans of bats, and teachers tell us they now cannot stop talking of bats. Even senior citizens in Auckland that NZ Batman has spoken to at garden and other interest clubs have been fascinated to find out bats are living in their city. Recent bat surveys by the Auckland Council have found new populations of bats in the region of which no one was aware before.

This shows there is a lot more work for bat conservation and awareness to let the public know about these bats and what they can do to help.

Taiwan: Bats – a Chinese symbol of good luck By Chao-Lung Hsu and Hsiao-Wen Chiu, Bat Conservation Society of Taipei
Taiwan: Bats – a Chinese symbol of good luck
By Chao-Lung Hsu and Hsiao-Wen Chiu, Bat Conservation Society of Taipei
In Taiwan, most people associate bats with luck. Bats are featured in Chinese art, including paintings, furniture, jewellery, decorations, temples, and even in Chinese tableware. They are omnipresent. In Chinese culture, bats have long been celebrated as bringers of good luck and happiness. The Chinese "wu-fu", a symbol of happiness, features five stylized bats.
People in Taiwan know that "wu-fu" means "five luck", the greatest five wishes for a human life. Nevertheless, due to negative perception in the media, bats now conjure up images of vampires.
In order to celebrate the Year of the Bat and to educate people about bats, the Bat Society of Taipei (BCST) has been organizing a number of educational bat activities during this summer.
More than 500 people, young and old, have joined the most popular summer activity in Taipei, the "Lucky Taipei 2012, Bat Watching Festival". The event is jointly organized with the Animal Protection Office of Taipei City at the temple of Prince of Yanping Command (Koxinga) in Nei-hu. People enjoy a one-and-a-half-hour class on bats before taking a short walk to watch the animals.
The proximity of the most famous bat roosting site is the reason for staging this unique event here: the habitat, a culvert around mountains, was constructed after a typhoon hit Nei-hu at Taipei city. In 2007 thousands of Schreiber's Long-fingered Bats (Miniopterus schreibersii) settled there. They might fly more than 200km per night and migrate to other countries. The Taiwan Leaf-nosed Bat (Hipposideros armiger terasensis), the largest insectivorous bat in Taiwan, can be found there as well. Furthermore, Taipei Zoo and BCST are organizing bats summer camps in which young people can not only learn more about bats but also do something for a good cause: building bat houses. The Taipei Zoo and BCST will start a project with the objective of building more than 200 bat boxes this summer.
BCST helps setting up bat boxes at elementary schools across Taiwan for education and further research. Teachers engage in monitoring. A field trip to watch bats has already successfully taken place in Rui-fang in New Taipei. Up to thirty teenagers participated in the trip and were able to see more than 300,000 female long-winged bats gathered in a cave giving birth. The bats can only be watched from outside the cave and during summer in the bat park. Collaboration between the National Museum of Nature Science, Taipei Zoo and BCST led to a bat exhibition at the zoo. It opened in May and was expected to last throughout the Year of the Bat. However, due to its overwhelming success it might be extended until May 2013. Through these activities, the Bat Conservation Society of Taipei is not only expecting to spread scientific facts about bats but also to familiarize people, especially the young, with the traditional bat culture.

San Antonio Bulldog Rescue, Inc. is a 501c3 Non-Profit organization dedicated to rescuing English Bulldogs in San Antonio and Austin. We are comprised of only volunteers that foster and help these sweet angels. Since we are a small rescue we do not adopt out of state, we simply do not have the resources to support out of state adoptions.
San Antonio Bulldog Rescue will not accept owner surrenders due to aggression with dogs or people. If your dog is aggressive or has behavioral issues contact a trainer. In addition, if you simply do not want the dog anymore because you do not have time for the dog you wil need to rehome the dog yourself. If you would like assistance rehoming your dog we are happy to help. As a rescue we are here to save homeless dogs, whether at a shelter or found as strays and to help dogs that are in need of medical care.

Pogoplug adds journaled HFS+ support
Pogoplug is a network drive adapter coupled with a web service that allows you to access a personal drive from anywhere on the Internet without having to worry about firewalls and other security issues. You plug a drive into the Pogoplug, connect the unit to power, and you can securely access that data no matter where you are, from your laptop, another computer, or from an iPhone.
Today, Pogoplug has announced support for journaled HFS+ formatted drives. You can now plug in almost any drive formatted for use on the Mac and it'll work with Pogoplug.That's great, because the last few times I dredged up Disk Utility (from /Applications/Utilities), it was to re-format drives to use with the Pogoplug system. (You can also turn off journaling from the Terminal, if you're so inclined, via the 'diskutil' command.)
What's particularly cool is that Pogoplug is currently working on developing remote backup assistance. They don't support Time Capsule yet, but the Pogoplug developers say they're working on having "the Pogoplug play nice with [Time Capsule and other remote storage devices] and allow our users to back up to their home drives automatically and regularly."
Being able to set up off-site backup drives with just a simple plug-and-go sounds like an awesome business opportunity for anyone with a central router and a whole bunch of USB hubs. But even if you're setting up your off-site backup at your sister-in-law's ("Sure, go ahead and plug in that...um...thing. Can I take it out if I need to vacuum?"), that's a fine way to keep your backups physically remote from your primary computing space. At just $99 plus the cost of a hard drive (the lifetime service is included free), a bargain.

More and more citizens are concerned about the state of our seas and the depletion of fish stocks. We owe it to them to provide the most accurate and comprehensive information possible so that they are aware of the impact that their choices have.
Through EU control rules, a traceability system "from the net to the plate" is already in place. EU funded projects contribute to create new traceability tools based on genetics, genomics and forensic techniques: it sounds like science fiction, but we do have the technology to determine exactly where each fish comes from and, just like it's done in crime detection, we might decide to use modern molecular technology to spot fraud in our sector.
The Commission proposal for the Common Fisheries Policy reform foresees further steps. Firstly to indicate the date of catch on the label, at least for fresh products, would be an objective parameter of the freshness of the fish we are buying. Also it would give a competitive advantage to EU small-scale fisheries without being a significant burden for our fishermen, as they already record that information.
Moreover, specifying the commercial name, the production method and the provenance, would respond to the growing public demand for substantial information about preserved and prepared products. This information contributes to creating a level playing field, again without imposing any additional red tape on operators. Let's hope that the Council and the Parliament through the trilogues will keep this high level of consumer information.
Consumers are the driving force of substantial change towards transparency and sustainability. The proposal to reform the EU Common Fisheries policy is not only happening for them but also through them, thanks to their support.THE FISH ON OUR PLATE,

Topics: Health Costs, Marketplace, Insurance, Politics, Health Reform, States
Mar 06, 2012
Minnesota Republicans are offering state-based health premium savings accounts as an alternative to a health care exchange that Democrats in the state want to implement as part of the federal health reform law.
Minnesota Public Radio: Minn. Legislators Offer Competing Changes To Health Care
Republicans legislators Monday introduced a bill that they say would be a free-market alternative to a state-based health insurance exchange that is being considered by Gov. Mark Dayton's administration. Rep. Steve Gottwalt, R-St. Cloud said the plan would give people access to health premium accounts. Individuals could save money in those accounts to pay for health care costs later. It's a better option than plans being put forward by the governor under the federal health care overhaul, Gottwalt said (Scheck, 3/5).
(Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minn.) Pioneer Press: Health Exchange Debate Takes Shape
The terms of debate over health exchanges in Minnesota became a little clearer Monday as Republicans in the state Legislature announced a bill to develop what they described as a free-market alternative to plans from the administration of Democratic Gov. Mark Dayton. … But it's unclear how the idea will be received by Dayton or if it would be sufficient to win certification by the federal government, which by year's end will evaluate the state's planning for a health exchange in Minnesota. The exchange is mandated by federal law and is intended as a new marketplace -- largely online -- for individuals and small businesses to buy coverage (Snowbeck, 3/5).
Minneapolis Star Tribune: Republicans Propose Personal Accounts For Health Insurance
Republican legislative leaders announced a proposal to allow people to open personal health premium accounts that would help them purchase health insurance on the free market. Sen. David Hann, R-Eden Prairie, and Rep. Steve Gottwalt, R-St. Cloud, said their plan is aimed at helping people afford health insurance costs outside of the health insurance exchanges that are included under the federal Affordable Care Act, which Hann and Gottwalt oppose. Hann and Gottwalt chair health care committees in the two houses and said their plan has strong support among Republicans who control the Legislature (Ragsdale, 3/5).
In the meantime, the Washington state legislature and the Sacramento region prepare to implement part of the federal health law, and Utah mulls dropping out of the federal health care law.
The Associated Press/San Francisco Chronicle: WA Legislature Passes Rules For Insurance Exchange
The Washington state Legislature has passed a bill setting rules for insurers preparing for the state's online insurance exchange. The bill was approved by the House on Saturday and is headed for the governor's desk. The exchange is part of federal health care reforms, and is set go live in January of 2014 (Kaminsky, 3/5).
The Sacramento Bee: Four Sacramento Area Counties Prepare For Early Test Of Obama's Health Care Overhaul
One slice of President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is coming early to the Sacramento region, providing a first glimpse at what the massive, complex law will look like. All four Sacramento-area counties are joining a program that will insure tens of thousands of residents who have been without coverage, more than a year before federal health care changes kicks in. For county governments and health care providers, the Low-Income Health Program is a chance to get a head start and work out some of the kinks in a new and complicated system -- one that must emerge by Jan. 1, 2014, but remains largely unformed (Rubenstein, 3/6).
The Associated Press/Houston Chronicle: Utah Could Opt-Out Of Federal Health Care
Utah could join other states seeking to forego expensive federal health care programs under a bill moving to the House. Republican Sen. Stuart Adams of Layton says Monday Senate Bill 208 gives the state the ability to manage its own health care system. Adams says the bill would allow the state to join a compact with other states who are opposed to the federal health care reform (3/5).
