This brush gives me a rewally fine line. But I think it takes too long using a brush to apply eyeliner. And this brush doesn't last very long. Only about 4-5 months, then it goes hard, and the eyeliner gel sort of clumps onto the brush. Maybe I would get a cheaper one since they don't last very long either. But at least they're worth the price more than this one.

Great brush! I do not use it for gel liners, as I prefer the LM pull-apart liner brush for the gels, but for applying wet powder eyeshadow liner, this BB Ultra Fine liner brush is great. I've had it almost a year and have experienced no splaying, it has held up very well even though I wash it gently after each use. Love that it comes in a short handle, too.

This brush gives me the finest line I've EVER achieved --but they don't last more than maybe 6 months at the most. My Mother and I have gone through three collectively.

(with regard to the pics, please forgive that I labelled the Ultra Fine brush Super Fine...I dunno what I was thinking LOL) I am not very happy with this brush. It definitely does NOT give me a finer line than Bobbi Brown's regular eyeliner brush. In fact, the results I get with this brush are uneven and relatively thick. Even tho the quality is excellent and long-lasting it is very hard to work with in my opinion. I took pics to compare the different brushes
As you can see, the Ultra Fine brush is not really thinner than the regular one it is just not as wide. The effect I get with the regular one, is FAR thinner and more even. It is SO much easier to work with than the Ultra Fine one. I normally do not mention items in my reviews for which the review isn't for, but I think in this case it is justifed since it is within the same brand and the maker behind it claims that wwe need an Ultra Fine brush because the regular one doesnt do the job. To show what I mean, I swatched BB Sapphire Gel liner with different brushes. I hope this helps to illustrate what I mean
This is not a horribly bad brush, but funnily enough I use it for a smudged, thicker line, not for fine or exact lining.

I love this brush. I bought it with their eye liner gel and its the first time I've been able to use a liquid eye liner to line my eyes. I find the brush easy to use, to create precise lines. (I have the long handled version.)

I'm glad I bought this brush together with the Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner because it makes the eyeliner application a whole lot easier. I can pick up very little eyeliner with this (it's just like painting) and line my eyes neatly without wastage of gel left on the bristles.

I loved this brush at first for gel liners, but like many other reviewers have stated, the brush has not held up and the bristles are splayed all over. My favorite brush for gel liners is MAC's 311, which is actually listed as a lip brush on the website, but is a little smaller in size and similar in shape to the Bobbi Brown brush. At least I got it cheaper than retail; I would never suggest paying full price for this brush.

Lately I have been mostly using gel eye liners like the MAC Fluidline liners or the Bobbi Brown gel eye liners. I tried several brushes already in my collection with my gel liners. It seemed that they were too wide or the bristles were too long for good control. None of them could deliver the precise, thin line that I was wanting to create. When I was buying my Ivy BB gel liner, I happened to see the Ultra Fine Eye Liner brush. It looks like a lippie brush. When I got home and tried it out, I immediately wished I had bought this brush when I got my first gel liner. I got the clean-cut line right in the lashline just like I was wanting. I would highly recommend this brush anyone who uses gel liners.

I am surprised when people say that their brush hasn't held up. I love mine and it has stood up well to my use. I follow the instructions given to me by the salesperson and put some eye makeup remover on a cotton pad or piece of tissue to remove the excess gel liner and then clean it with a cleaner one to two times a month. The brush is awesome.

Topics: Health Costs, Insurance, Marketplace, Politics, Health Reform
Aug 19, 2013
Continued opposition to the overhaul is one of the administration's biggest challenges. In addition, many consumers eligible to buy insurance in new online marketplaces still don't understand their benefits and obligations under the law. Meanwhile, insurance companies are gearing up to sell policies.
Politico: Obamacare Tougher To Launch Than Medicare
President Barack Obama says he's not worried that all the Obamacare fights will kill the law — because people fought the creation of Medicare and Social Security too, and now they're more popular than ever. ... But this time there's a difference. Political opposition to Obamacare is still as strong as ever, more than three years after it was signed into law. That means the administration's task in launching the health care law — the biggest new social program since the creation of Medicare in 1965 — is harder than anything its predecessors had to face (Nather, 8/18).
Los Angeles Times: As Healthcare Overhaul Nears, Many Consumers Still In The Dark
While government officials tout the broad benefits of the Affordable Care Act to drum up enrollment, many consumers are eager to know how the overhaul will affect them personally, from pocketbook concerns to worries about whether their local doctor and hospital will be included. And, so far, there have been considerably more questions than answers, as officials and insurers scramble to get ready and clarify many of the details that people care about the most (Terhune, 8/17).
NPR: You Ask, We Answer: More Of Your Questions About The Affordable Care Act
The Oct. 1 launch of the new health insurance exchanges is now less than two months away, and people are starting to pay attention to the changes these new marketplaces may bring to the nation's health care system. We know it's confusing, so we're spending part of the summer and fall answering at least some of your questions about the law (Rovner, 8/19).
Cleveland Plain Dealer: How Obama's Health Plan Will Affect Ohioans: Four Real Cases
Health care reform will affect everyone in different ways. Some people will pay much less than they are currently paying for their insurance and get better coverage. Those with chronic conditions will no longer be denied coverage or face higher rates, plus they will benefit from caps on out-of-pocket costs. Still, all of this information can seem abstract and difficult to wade through. To help understand its real impact, The Plain Dealer examined four real-life case studies(Villacorta, 4/17).
Dallas Morning News: Economic Snapshot: The Affordable Care Act And You
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's biggest impact so far begins on Jan. 1, when millions of Americans will be added to the rolls of health insurers. People on Medicare, Medicaid and other government insurance programs are not affected. Those who get insurance at work will basically see no change. Here's a look at how it will work (Landers and Hogue, 8/18).
Arizona Republic: Health-Care Taxes Are Complicated Calculation
The Affordable Care Act is a complex piece of legislation. How complicated? The Internal Revenue Service has just launched a separate website, irs.gov/aca, to help explain it. The site is worth perusing, especially if you make a lot of money or run a business. Otherwise, if you can remember three key numbers about the new law, also known as "Obamacare," that should go a long way toward simplifying things. Those numbers are $125,000, $200,000 and $250,000 (Wiles, 8/17).
Philadelphia Inquirer/Philly.Com: Insurers Gearing Up For Obamacare Business
With new federal rules and mandates, you'd think that health insurers would be beating the loudest drum in the repeal-the-Affordable Care Act band. But they're not, and there are a couple of reasons why (Calandra, 8/18).

E 325 • Creative Writing: Poetry
|Rosal, P
Course Description
This course will give you the chance to explore in depth the various tools of a poet: rhythm, assonance, line break, structure, etc. We will also explore the following questions (and many others) in one form or another: What is a lyric poem? What is a narrative poem? What is poetic form? How is a poem a mechanism to manage silence? How is a poem, according to Frost, "a temporary stay against confusion?" How do you read a poem aloud? What is the relationship between a poem and the oral tradition?
Primarily this course is about the endless ways there are to write poetry. It's a course where you will be encouraged to take chances, be strange, wild, and daring. What we want to get at as writers is the guts of poetry. We want to try to find out how to make poems that are, in the end, human. We want poems that touch us in the deepest and most complex ways.
Students will read three collections of poetry, two assigned and one chosen by the student (after consultation with the instructor). Craft (and its concomitant delights!) demand that one reads with the eye (and ear and fingertips, etc.) of a poet. The selections will be broadly complemented by handouts, i.e. poems, essays about poems, fragments, etc. and other media that may serve as sources for writing. Students will memorize poems, read poems aloud, discuss, listen, listen, listen, write from prompts in class and will be given plenty of assigned reading and writing to take with them. The course will culminate for each student in a portfolio which will include a self-evaluative essay and a slender collection of the student's best work revised.

(Will LG develop a rival OS with Samsung?)
After the Google-Motorola buyout last week, some journalists wondered how the deal would affect the Android ecosystem. The biggest question was whether cell phone manufacturers like Samsung and HTC would feel less tied to Android OS in the future, instead wandering into the embracing arms of Windows 7 or some rival OS.
While we have our doubts that the Android ecosystem is anywhere near to collapsing, that hasn't stopped rivals from using the buyout to serve their own interests. Nokia, for example, publicly lashed out against Google and aligned themselves with Microsoft in the wake of the Motorola Buyout. And now South Korea's government says they want to create a rival OS with LG and Samsung, figuring their homegrown companies might face extra competition in a Motorola-Google dominated Android scene.

Looks at the Bird is Brokeback's first full-length since 1999's Field Recordings from the Cook County Water Table, and makes significant progress in the gradual evening-out of creative responsibilities between founder Doug McCombs (Tortoise, Eleventh Dream Day, Pullman, Abilene) and longtime contributor Noel Kupersmith. McCombs started Brokeback in order to more fully explore the potential of the bass guitar, particularly the Fender 6, as a lead instrument and source of textural interaction in a less structured sonic environment. To flesh out his bass-heavy tunes, he called on the services of various luminaries -- mostly Chicago scenesters, plus a handful of names from the Tortoise rolodex. Kupersmith, otherwise best known for his work with Chicago Underground, quickly became a staple of Brokeback's live performance, and his contributions eventually grew into a sort of junior-partnership. Here, his duties have once again expanded; he now shares songwriting credit with McCombs.
Of course, unless you were present during the writing sessions, it's hard to ascertain the precise impact of Kupersmith's involvement, but Brokeback is definitely not quite the same creature it was in 1999. Whereas Field Recordings was spartan, sometimes even desolate, Looks at the Bird is warmer and more secretive -- a little like peering through steamed-up windows at a holiday party to which you were not invited. There's more detail in these pieces -- though it's often shimmering and vague -- and as such, a little more "musicality". Several tracks, including "Everywhere Down Here" and opener "From the Black Current", flirt with the sort of de facto fifties/Southwestern Dick-Dale-on-codeine vibe that's inevitable when a heavily reverbed bass is your primary instrument. Others, most notably "Name's Winston, Friends Call Me James", betray the lingering jazziness that dogs any Tortoise-related project.
You'll also notice a modest IDM edge on "Lupé" and "The Wind-Up Bird", both of which sound like they were recorded over old Oval session tapes. The electronic squelches, burbles and crackles are distinctly background-level, foundation-type stuff -- "Lupé" in particular seems eager to struggle clear of them. It's a little like listening to a Mouse on Mars track turned inside-out, organic elements smothering all but the most persistent bits of electronic rhythm.
Stereolab's Laetitia Sadier and the late Mary Hansen provide guest vocals on "Name's Winston, Friends Call Me James", "In the Reeds" and "Pearl's Dream" (the last, one of the disc's two covers, drawn from Walter Schumann's Night of the Hunter score). This gives Looks at the Bird an extra measure of marketability among Stereolab completists, not to mention a bittersweet air in the wake of Hansen's death, but the familiarity of their performance does a mild disservice to the music itself. There's nothing at all deficient in Hansen and Sadier's performance, but can't McCombs look a little further afield for his collaborators? A different, more lucid and mature voice -- perhaps one drawn from outside of the scene's incestuous pool of collaborators -- could help to move Brokeback beyond the post-rock ghetto. Imagine the potential of Neko Case or Lisa Kekaula, or even Marianne Faithfull, in this context.
Additional guests include Chicago Underground's Chad Taylor (drums) and Rob Mazurek, who is to the cornet what Jon Rauhouse is to pedal steel (to wit, a go-to guy). The omnipresent John McEntire provides organ and rhythmic support, while Nobukazu Takemura collaborator Aki Tsuyuko, on fluteorgan and reed organ, gives the music much of its bleary-eyed dreaminess. As for the principals, McCombs mostly sticks with Brokeback's inspiration, the Fender 6, while Kupersmith tackles double bass, vibes and whatever else is needed. There is a reassuring, almost stolid purity to this approach; Brokeback is a "high concept" band, and the concept is taken seriously.
However, while Looks at the Bird's expanded arrangements are more conventionally "listenable" than much of Field Recordings, this comes at a small price. None of these newer songs can quite equal the sheer presence of Field Recordings' spartan, sustained pieces; those plodding, resonant epics had a specific texture and gravity not found here. On the other hand, Brokeback's extended aural meditations were arguably of interest only to McCombs and other bassists -- particularly in a live setting, where much sitting down (and worse) ensued among the audience -- whereas Looks at the Bird promises a more intriguing performance and greater replayability. It's a notable step in the group's evolution, albeit of a "walking on four legs instead of two" level of magnitude rather than, say, "crawling out of the sea and evolving lungs".
It's still a bit spartan for some tastes, of course, but Looks at the Bird is a timely move forward for Brokeback and the McCombs/Kupersmith creative partnership. They've proven that they can share songwriting duties; the next, far more challenging stage is to challenge each other -- to physically drag Brokeback out of Tortoise's shadow and explore new ground. New genres, new tempos, new progressions, new collaborators -- all of these could establish Brokeback once and for all as a distinct musical entity rather than a quirky, intermittently inspired side-project. But for now, Looks at the Bird is a step in the right direction.

I have a great disdain for all preseason prognostications. It's not because they are inevitably wrong or because they are poorly thought out, but rather most writers will seemingly look at last years standings, and press copy and paste. Certainly the writers adjust for players lost/retired and those drafted, but I challenge you to read any article predicting division winners and playoff participants and count how many playoff teams from the previous year are predicted to make the playoffs once again. Try as I might, my picks aren't that original.
The NFL is the ultimate meritocracy. You draft well, you sign good players in free agency, and you will compete for a playoff spot. If you draft poorly (Detroit), and throw good money after bad players (Washington), you will wallow in mediocrity.
Previous division winner: New England Patriots
2010 division winner: New England Patriots: The Bills are too far away. The Jets have a good defense and questions on offense. They are overrated and over-hyped. Miami will play tough football, but they are missing key pieces on both sides of the ball. They may run a similar scheme as the Cowboys, but they lack a Romo, a Witten, and a Ware.
The Patriots are back to being boring. The offense has been so dynamic the last few years, that it is no longer a story for the mainstream media. The defense is near to completing their youth movement (partly due to all the veterans getting traded, cut, or injured), and there are few better game day coaches than Bill Belicheck.
AFC North
Previous Division Winner: Cincinnati Bengals
2010 division winner: Ravens: The Browns defense was adequate last year. Delhomme may be a better option than Quinn and Anderson, but not by much. Whether Mangini can be a good head coach still remains to be seen. The Steelers will have Polomalu roaming deep centerfield and they will make the playoffs, but starting 2-2 with one of the losses being to the Ravens will put them in a severe disadvantage. As for the Bengals, I don't see the offense imploding because of Terrell Owens. I simply doubt the Bengals are good enough to repeat as division champions in one of the better divisions in football.
As for the Ravens, they are young at key positions on offense, QB, RB, and WR; they also have a surplus of talent at the offensive line. Their defense has been perpetually old for the past 5 years. Every year it is expected that Ray Lewis and Co. will hit the wall and the team will implode. Every year I'm wrong so why should I finally be right in 2010?
AFC South
Previous Division Winner: Indianapolis Colts
2010 division winner: Texans: This is based on one caveat. If the Texans win against the Colts in week one, I expect the Texans to win the division. If the Colts win, I predict the Titans to win the division. The Colts will be formidable and will make the playoffs; however, there are two components to losing a Super Bowl. The first is the disappointment that the players feel about losing and the amount of time it takes for them to get past that; the second is the fact that the players have to play 3 more physical games. The first is emotional trauma that no other team has to suffer; the second is a physical trauma that most other players in the league are not subject to.
As for the Titans, they are a capable team. Chris Johnson has his sights set on 2,500 yards. I'm not sure he exceeds 1,300. Historically, running backs who broke 2,000 yards do not come close to repeating their performance. Consequently, if Johnson isn't as dynamic, there is little chance that Vince Young will pick up the slack. I believe the Titans will finish near 8-8, but they will miss the playoffs. The Jaguars don't merit discussion. Jack Del Rio will be looking for work next year; he is a victim of mediocre QB play. Leftwich and Garrard did not pan out and Del Rio will join a long list of defensive minded coaches whose teams underperformed because of sub-par offenses.
AFC West
Previous Division Winner: San Diego Chargers
Raiders: There is no reason for the Chargers not to repeat as division winners. While the Chargers may have still have two prominent holdouts, they are a deep team and can replace the players without missing a beat. The Broncos fell apart late last season due to injuries, the Chiefs are still rebuilding around a quarterback who did a good Tom Brady impersonation for one season. Thomas Jones still has gas in the tank and the Chiefs won't be the pushover they were the year before. The fact of the matter is the only safe bet in the AFC West are the Chargers, which is why I'm picking the Raiders. The Raiders are the most talented bad team in the NFL and there is always a team that comes from the bottom of the barrel to surprise the league. On the other hand, it wouldn't be surprising if Al Davis fires Tom Cable in the 2nd week of the season and cuts Jason Campbell in week four. Barring the complete unexpected, pencil in the Raiders as your surprise team for 2010.
Tomorrow I'll cover the NFC. After week 8 when both the Raiders and Texans are 2-5, I'm sure I'll look foolish.

Oh how I love a good niche, and any close follower of my world knows my favorite example: the man who paints only wrestlers. I finally met him.
Artist Rob Schamberger, is painting every world champion wrestler. His work is on permanent display in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum, and his original portraits of WWE Superstars are being auctioned by WWE.
This pinpoint focus means Rob's elevator speech takes less than half a floor. Collectors know quickly if they're buying or not. His website is search engine optimized in two tidy key words: painting and wrestler.
I envy the niche, man. I envy the niche.

A clutch of UK and US firms are celebrating after the board of Cadbury gave the green light to Kraft's approved offer for the British chocolate maker.
Guy Norman
Clifford Chance advised the US food conglomerate on the takeover, with a multi-jurisdictional team led by US corporate partner Sarah Jones and UK corporate partner Guy Norman working on the deal.
Kraft's other advisers, on a variety of corporate, commercial and securitisation matters, included Arnold & Porter, Dewey & LeBoeuf and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher.
Cravath Swaine & Moore was enlisted to assist on the financing of the takeover bid.
On the sale side, Slaughter and May won the mandate to provide UK advice for longstanding client Cadbury. The Slaughters team was led by corporate partners Steve Cooke and Tim Boxell.
Shearman & Sterling acted for the UK company on the US aspects of the deal, with corporate partner Creighton Condon heading the team. Other Cadbury advisers included Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton, Squire Sanders & Dempsey and Australian firm Freehills.
Cadbury shareholders will have until 2 February to approve the 850p per share offer after the board today gave its consent to the deal.
If shareholders reject the offer, the door could still be open for other bidders, with Hershey widely believed to be the only viable candidate. It is understood that Linklaters and Sullivan & Cromwell have been working with the US confectioner on a possible counter offer.
The Kraft bid, which is a combination of cash and stock, puts the value of Cadbury at £11.5bn. An initial bid of 740p per share was described as "derisory" by the Cadbury board.

Last week, ESPN's Jeff Goodman reported that the Miami Heat worked out a group of draft prospects which included former Wichita State forward Cleanthony Early.
Miami Heat have a workout today that includes Hairston, Cleanthony Early, DeAndre Daniels and Russ Smith.
— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) May 27, 2014
Early is a gifted athlete and an elite scorer who helped Wichita State to a Final Four and an undefeated regular season in his two seasons with the Shockers after transferring from junior college.
Name: Cleanthony Early
College: Wichita State
Projected Position: Small Forward – Power Forward
Age: 23
Height: 6' 7.25" (in shoes)
Wingspan: 6' 10.75"
Weight: 219 pounds
Athletic – Early is a very good athlete, and his body is NBA ready (219 pounds) to boot. He uses his vertical explosiveness to rebound above-average on both ends of the floor and score near the basket.
Versatile Forward – Early has the ability contribute on both ends of the court. His steal and block rates were both above-average for forwards while at Wichita State. While on the offensive end, he's at his best in transition, filling lanes and using his athleticism to finish above the rim. Early can also be utilized as a serviceable spot up shooter.
Scorer – Last season Early was one of the most efficient scores in college basketball. His 64% True Shooting percentage ranks seventh among the top-100 prospects according to DraftExpress. He shot and incredible 58% from two last season, mostly because he hardly ever pulled up for jump shots, almost exclusively relying on his athleticism to score near the hoop. He's also an improving three point shooter. Early went from 31.8% from three in his junior year, to shooting 37.5% from three last year. Although there are questions to whether or not Early can transition that to NBA range.
Good Ending – Early couldn't have ended the season on a higher note. He played arguably the best game of his college career in Wichita State's tournament loss to Kentucky, scoring 31 points on 12-17 shooting (4-6 from three) against projected lottery pick Julius Randle.
Age – The biggest concern surrounding Cleanthony Early is his age. After spending two years at junior college and another two at Wichita State, Early turned 23 in April. Compare that to an Aaron Gordon who isn't going to turn 19 until September.
Predictable – Early is both a poor shooter off the dribble and a poor passer. If he puts the ball on the floor, he's almost always going to the hoop. He'll more or less put his head down, take a dribble or two, rise and try to finishing over everybody. Early struggles against length inside, and although he was a decent post player in college, he doesn't have any complex post moves to build off of.
Tweener – Early has a prototypical small forward NBA body (6′ 7.25″ with a 6′ 10.75″ wingspan), but he almost exclusively played power forward in college. He's not long enough nor has enough lower body strength to guard most NBA power forwards in the post. When guarding on the perimeter, Early isn't as quick moving side-to-side as you'd hope he'd be considering his athleticism. He got beat off the dribble a lot.
Poor Ball Handler - Ball handling will be an immediate issue in the NBA for Early. He's a really poor dribbler in general and almost never uses his weak hand. NBA defenders will sit on his right side and force him to drive left.
Fit with Heat
It really depends on where the Heat plan to use him. Most team will play Early at small forward. But if the Heat were to select him, I wouldn't rule out Early seeing time at the power forward. Although taller, Shane Battier (6′ 9.5″ with a 6′ 10.5″ wingspan) has similar measurements to Early and the Heat have used Battier at the four throughout the season. Forward isn't exactly the position of most need for Miami, but Early certainly fits with with how the Heat want to play in transition. However, he could prove to be a liability in the half court offense.

Smiles for Bruce
Kelowna motocross rider Bruce Cook is still all smiles, even after a serious spinal cord injury forced him into a wheel chair last month.
The 26-year-old injured himself while attempting a double front flip at a Nitro Circus show in Hamilton. He lost all feeling below his waist after the crash, but still hopes to one day ride again.
He is currently at GF Strong Hospital in Vancouver and has dedicated himself to getting back in shape and getting back on his bike.
According to his social media pages, which are constantly updated with positive thoughts and inspirational photos, Cook has started a hashtag #smileforBC in order for people to send him their smiles.
A group of close friends have started a fundraising campaign to help pay for his medical bills, equipment and rehab. Cook was not covered by any disability insurance due to the dangerous nature of his sport and that means costs will quickly pile up.
They have already raised over $8,000.
You can find more information about Cook on his Facebook and his online fundraising page.

It's hard to believe that July is nearly over and we're more than halfway through 2014! Let me reassure ALL that the media 'hype' concerning the crisis on the border has NOT in any way affected us ... we actually have seen no difference here in the 10 years we've been in the valley.
Our Summer maintenance projects are now complete! We no longer have copper DSL for running our WiFi, but have installed UVerse fiber optic for both the Wifi and the park phone. Everything is working wonderfully. In addition, gravel has been added to those sites that needed to be brushed up. Finally, our "major" project of repaving all the park roads has now been completed. You will find photos in the Gallery here on the website.
We are looking forward to another fun-filled season this upcoming winter!!! We do still have several nice sites available and anyone seeking a "winter" home is encouraged to call with any and all questions.
The full set of rules for the park is online ... Simply click on the link

Just a collection of my Nail Art that I'd like to share with you all on the interwebs. < Read more on my blog www.nailsat2am.blogspot.com.au >
Experimenting with argyles! These, like my last manicure, took a lot longer than I anticipated. My pinky was the first nail I tackled and so looks sort of neat-ish. Then I got tired and restless and sloppy and half-assed lazy …and so my diamonds turned into wonky polygons haha Don't get me wrong, the steps themselves are pretty straightforward, but it was 5am, way past my 2am schedule *grin Despite the horrendous glare in the photos (for which I do apologize), I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out …really want to try a pastel version though!

Tiger Woods' 65 highlights a long-awaited day for golf and its fans
- 8:08 pm Thursday, August 26th, 2010 by Post Staff
Tiger Woods finally looked like Tiger Woods again.
Whether Woods' first-round 65 Thursday at The Barclays was a sign his game and his life are on getting back to normal will become clearer during the next few days.
But it's evident the world's No. 1-ranked played has a sense of confidence he's lacked since his return to golf from scandal.

Topics: Insurance, Medicaid, Health Reform, Uninsured
Dec 04, 2013
Kaiser Health News staff writer Guy Gugliotta, working in collaboration with The Washington Post, reports: "When Medicaid expands next year under the federal health law to include all adults living close to the poverty line, one group of eligible beneficiaries will be several million men and women who have spent time in state and federal prisons and jails. The Department of Justice estimates former inmates and detainees will comprise about 35 percent of the people who will qualify for Medicaid coverage in the states expanding their programs to anyone earning less than 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,000 for an individual in 2013. The Congressional Budget Office estimated earlier this year that 9 million people will get that new coverage next year" (Gugliotta, 12/4). Read the story.

Shannon Price Bashes Haters, Won't Shut Up About Gary Coleman, is Probably the Worst Person Everby Free Britney at . Comments
We realize people grieve in different ways.
But for Gary Coleman's self-proclaimed wife (not actually his wife anymore), that means a non-stop PR tour talking about their "golden" relationship.
And selling Gary Coleman death photos.
On Good Morning America, Shannon Price said the two were to renew their vows (since they divorced in 2008 after marrying in 2007) in the future.
A little convenient, since she was not named in the will Coleman left behind. She did, however, have legal authority to take the star off life support.
Her attorney, however, has argued in recent days that the 42-year-old had always intended for his once (and apparently future) wife to be provided for.
She's sure taking that into her own hands.
PAY THE PRICE: Shannon's mug shot from her 2009 domestic abuse arrest. No one suggested she had a role in Gary's death, but her conduct since then is deplorable.
Shannon Price says she has been "plagued by rumors" that she had something to do with his passing, either by pushing him to cause his initial fall, a claim she denies, or that she did not think through pulling the actor off life support.
"People can say whatever they want 'cause I know the truth. I would never hurt my husband, ever. I would take my own life before I would harm him."
Maybe so, but that was one nonchalant 911 call.
"The doctors advised me that it was grim and, you know, he went into cardiac arrest and the doctors advised me that this was the best thing for him."
She reiterated those comments on Entertainment Tonight, saying she did what was "best for him," and claiming that "he was already a vegetable."
She also revealed to ET his last words: "He said, "I love you and my head hurts.' Those were the last he said to me because he was in a lot of pain."
We're sure he'd approve of her telling the world this to make money. Sick person. Follow the jump for a clip of Price on Good Morning America ...
Shannon is nothing but trash. What goes around will come around. She didn't care about Gary that is obvious.
I'm not saying anything about this one, yet. There are too many things we don't know.
A divorce in 2008 and domestic violence throughout the relationship. They get back together and still fight and one day he falls and busts his head with blood all over and she's still screaming at him to sit up. somethings not right! she not only pulls cord but creammates him and then decides to sell his death pictures to the media for cash. she says she loves him and still even takes advantage of him after death. watch he auction his stuff and later write a book about him. to bad so many took advantage of him incuding his golddigger wife. why was she even taking pictures of him in the hospital?
She acts like they had a loving relationship,and how come she kept saying i hope he doesn't die or she would say i hope he isn't dead.But she go and pull the plug,sounds like she wanted him to die,she stands to gain more,something is not right about this,she talk like she thought this up,there is no tears she laughs and smiles a lot for someone who just lost someone,she looks like she got dollar signs in her eye's.
Oh please. She is a poor excuse for a human being. She is the worst person ever.

Hi guys,
This is the report 7/16 for the Google Summer of Code project
"Bringing Lua to Ncat".
After having looked at my --with feature design, David wasn't exactly
satisfied and suggested to step back, focusing on less controversial
improvements for now. That's why this week I was mainly working
towards implementing new environment variables to Ncat, passed to
--exec/--sh-exec/--lua-exec child processes. When I felt I completed
the task (at least until he reviews my progress), I worked on various
other things.
* Had an over-two-hours long meeting with David, during which we
discussed the environment variables feature, my --with feature and
alternative options of embedding Lua into Ncat.
* Prepared a patch that adds NCAT_REMOTE_ADDR, NCAT_REMOTE_PORT,
NCAT_SSL (actually had the code waiting for these three),
NCAT_LOCAL_ADDR, NCAT_LOCAL_PORT environment variables for POSIX
systems. Learnt a lesson from Henri about licensing.
* Did a bit of investigation on what is needed to add the environment
variables to Windows processes started by CreateProcess system call. I
wrote code needed to add the values to the environment returned by
* Wrote some documentation on the new five environment variables.
* Started a README.txt in my nmap-exp directory, thinking it's a fun
idea to list all the branches one could find here in the SVN history.
I also added quick notes about the statuses of the branches and
information on why would anyone want to the parts of my code that
didn't get merged in (and a quick tip on how to actually use them).
* Wrote three examples showing the use of the new environment variables.
- whatismyip.lua - simply replies to the user with his IP address,
- logme.sh - shows how easy it is to log IP addresses (and source
ports, too) connecting to the server created with Ncat,
- p0fme.py - collects all the data it can find on the IP address
connecting to the server, reading p0f (version 3) logs. To collect a
bit more data, it sends some data to the user first and waits for
three seconds.
* Frustrated by how a memory error slipped into my Windows addenv()
routine (off-by-one, probably nondestructive, but still an error), I
wrote a testing platform for this function. This helped me test
various modifications to addenv() with confidence that the code is
completely safe now (at least until David points out another
interesting thing to me). It also led to simplifying this code a bit.
* Replied to my proposal thread about Ncat environment variables,
listing the new variables and other goodies that can be found in my
* Started the implementation of a HTTP server using --lua-exec only.
Surprisingly, it performs pretty well already - it can work for
sharing files, as Fyodor requested in the TODO file. I had to deal
with line-endings in Windows (and I guess the fun's not over yet,
though I hotfixed it in r31481). There were also some security issues,
and I wouldn't be surprised to hear it's still exploitable (though I
fixed some quite a few bugs already).
* Came up with a way to use Windows without cursing every other
exhalation! I always kept saying that if I had to work on Windows for
a longer period time, I'd use Cygwin to ease the pain and it turned
out to be a good decision to finally try it.
Since it might be pretty fun, I'll write a bit about my new workflow:
I ssh to the Windows 7 virtual machine. Thanks to an app called
"apt-cyg", I installed git-svn, GNU Screen, vim and zsh with just a
command and synchronized their settings (the command proved useful
many times later on). I work in a shared SMB directory - all my
working directory is synchronized right away (and I'll probably share
~/.viminfo too to share my vim buffers). This way I can easily test
pieces of code on both systems.
Compiling a MSVC project from the command line was most tricky. There
is a tool scarily named "msbuild" that you can use for that; the
problem I had was that it didn't work under Cygwin. Actually, even
spawning "cmd" and then running the magic "vcvarsall.bat" file that
was supposed to prepare the environment variables didnt' help. In the
end, I installed a Windows Telnet Server and ncat'ed to it locally.
Since Cygwin pipes didn't work the same way they work on Linux
(couldn't "echo 'a' > ~/fifo" twice), here's what I did as a
touch ~/fifo #yes, a regular file.
tail -f ~/fifo | ncat -t -C localhost 23 &
cat >> ~/fifo
# log in, run vcvarsall, CD to my project's working directory, then EOF
alias make="echo 'msbuild' >> ~/fifo"
It really does feel like a normal compilation then (if we skip the
"proprietary" part) - after issuing "make", I can see the build log.
It is useful to turn off Telnet idle connection timeouts in this
setup. I can make a detailed Secwiki entry about it all if you're
interested. Turns out Windows is bearable if you remove windows out of
* Merge in the environment variables code.
* Prepare code for ncatin/ncatout along with
NCAT_INPUT_FD/NCAT_OUTPUT_FD environment variables. These will enable
really awesome filtering functionality, so I hope to make examples
more attractive as well.
* Do some experimenting towards the socket abstraction model David
proposed during our last meeting. I already have some design concepts
in mind, I'll probably spend rest of this evening taking notes to
present the ideas to David.
* (low-priority) Explore expanding the stacking functionality to any
combination of --exec, --sh-exec and --lua-exec calls - perhaps it's
not a bad idea after all?

Jeffco Commissioner Kevin McCasky took most of the heat Sept. 15 in the first forum for the five county commission candidates.
Republican McCasky, the only incumbent, faces two challengers in District 2 in the Nov. 4 election: Democrat Jason Bane and Scott Zulauf of the Green Party. Jeffco Treasurer Faye Griffin, a Republican, and state Sen. Sue Windels, a Democrat, are battling for the District 1 commission seat, vying to replace Jim Congrove, who decided not to seek a second term.
It's a good thing that softball players don't melt in the rain.
In a drizzle which turned into a downpour Sept. 11, the Dakota Ridge Eagles defeated the Green Mountain Rams 7-1 in a game which never saw the end of the gray and dreary weather. The temperature hovered in the 50s and the rain just got heavier and heavier.
The Jefferson County commissioners had to shift more than $930,000 from a contingency fund to pay for fuel for the rest of 2008.
"I don't anticipate it is going to get any better," said Buck Benke, the county's director of fleet services.
More than half of the money — $545,330 — will go to the fleet services fund, and the remaining $385,000 will go to the patrol fund for law enforcement vehicles.
Hannah Hayes
Kelsey J. Hays of Morrison was killed Sept. 17 when she drove her car the wrong way on U.S. 285 and hit another car head-on.
Hays, 24, was driving south in the northbound lanes between Wadsworth and Kipling about 1:20 a.m. and hit a car driven by Wynne A. Warren of Buena Vista. Warren, 53, sustained moderate injuries and was transported to Swedish Medical Center. Hays was pronounced dead at the scene.
Lunden and Patrick MacDonald put their son Angus down to sleep one June night in 2003, and he never woke up.
Angus, whom they lovingly called "Gus," was a normal 18-month-old child in seemingly perfect health.
"It was horrible," Lunden MacDonald said on a drizzly day five years after the death of her first son. "We had nowhere to turn."
Tom Dittemore has been the Democratic candidate in state House District 28 in every election since 2002, and he's making his fourth bid for the seat this November. Standing in his way is Republican incumbent Jim Kerr, who is seeking a third term.
The two men say they like each other, but Dittemore says Kerr needs to step up a bit more.
Megan Koop and her Columbine teammates weren't going to let a rare nonleague crowd go home disappointed Sept. 10. Even if it meant playing after knocking yourself loopy.
Koop banged her head hard enough on the floor against Cheyenne Mountain that the details got a little clouded. But the senior came back, just like the Rebels, as they overcame Class 4A powerhouse Cheyenne Mountain 25-17, 16-25, 23-25, 25-18, 15-12 in thrilling fashion.
Chatfield didn't accomplish everything it set out to do Sept. 12 against top-ranked Bear Creek.
But, what the No. 10 Chargers did in the 26-20 Class 5A Big 8 League loss was more than enough to serve notice around the state that Chatfield football is now a program to be taken seriously.
The Foothills Park and Recreation District is tackling the sensitive topic of raising fees for youth sports associations, swimming pools, golf and exercise classes in the aftermath of the failure of the mill-levy elections in May and November.
"Fee increases will probably play a large part in the 2009 budget process," said executive director Ron Hopp, speaking at the regular meeting of the Foothills board on Sept. 9 at The Peak Wellness Center. The first draft of the 2009 budget is to be presented at a public meeting Oct. 14.
