Topics: Health Reform, Politics
John Goodman, President and CEO of National Center for Policy Analysis, and Kellye Wright Fellow
Jan 21, 2010
View all previous columns »
From the very moment public opinion started going south on the president's health plan, the White House and Democrat leaders in Congress began sounding a familiar refrain: The public does not understand the bill; they've been lied to, deceived and misled by the opponents; and once they learn how it really works, familiarity will breed...well, something other than contempt.
I have four problems with this point of view:
1. If it is sincere, you would think the Obama Administration would have made a major effort to educate the public about how the bill really works; in fact, they have made no effort whatsoever.
2. Since ObamaCare is modeled after the Massachusetts health plan, voters in that state should be better informed than even Obama himself about how it "really works"; yet Massachusetts voters resoundingly rejected the president's plan in Tuesday's U.S. Senate election.
3. There was a lot of misleading information flying in all directions at last summer's town hall meetings; but on balance, the average protestor appeared to be better informed than the average member of Congress.
4. Among the chattering class — who are paid to express informed opinion — the proponents of ObamaCare are far less knowledgeable than the opponents.
Cognoscenti are in the Dark. Let's take the last point first. How many editorials have you seen where the writer rattles off a laundry list of health care problems and then concludes with "that's why we need health reform"? Each of these editorials makes the same two mistakes: (1) They assume that ObamaCare will solve the problems they are writing about and (2) they assume it's either ObamaCare or nothing. This second mistake is called the fallacy of the excluded middle.
As we have pointed out many times, ObamaCare is not going to solve our most serious problems. It will make costs higher, not lower. It will lower, rather than raise, the quality of care. It will "solve" the problems of pre-existing conditions by substituting problems that are even worse. And it may not even increase access to care.
Then there are the writers who bypass the details altogether and jump straight to wild claims. Here are two:
["ObamaCare] will give Americans what citizens in every other advanced nation already have — guaranteed access to essential care. " (Paul Krugman in The New York Times)
For the first time, we will enshrine the principle that all Americans deserve access to medical care, regardless of their ability to pay." (Eugene Robinson in The Washington Post)
Now you would think that anyone who hasn't been living in a cave in some remote spot would know that access to the care they need is exactly what many Canadians and Britains do not have. And if they do not have the money to buy that care in the private sector or in another country, they are forced to go without because of lack of "ability to pay."
Bay State Folks Know What's Happening in Their State. We don't have to go all the way to Britain or Canada to see where Krugman, Robinson and others have missed the boat, however. Massachusetts will do just fine. Bay Staters are not clamoring to repeal what they have. But they are acutely aware of the problems that haven't been solved. And one of them is lack of access to care for people who lack the ability to pay market prices. As previously noted, the wait to see a new doctor in Boston is more than twice as long as in any other U.S. city. Further, the number of people going to emergency rooms for nonemergency care in Massachusetts is as great today as it was before health reform was enacted.
The White House is Doing Nothing to Educate the Public. It's not just the general public that is being kept in the dark. Obama is the same way with his base. Since June, the president has been sending a weekly e-mail to an estimated 19 million faithful about health care. Strangely, these letters are never truly educational. Instead they are cheerleading messages — the sort of thing you would expect at a pep rally. (By contrast, the NCPA's weekly messages to 1.3 million petition signers tend to be very informative.)
Voters on the Whole are Very Informed. There has probably never been a major piece of legislation before Congress about which voters were better informed. I continue to believe that the average "activist" who opposes the bill knows more about it than his/her congressional representative. Rasmussen found that after an initial poll question, people were just as negative — if not more so — when pollsters described ObamaCare in some detail.
As Lanny Davis said the other day, "It's the substance, stupid."

Deb Rickert shares the bittersweet experience of being a military parent
By DEB RICKERT July 18, 2013 4:36PM
Deb Rickert
Article Extras
Updated: July 18, 2013 6:56PM
'You made them strong, we'll make them Army Strong." This is an Army recruiting commercial that always gets my attention, as it reflects both a proud yet uncertain parent and a determined young soldier. I have two sons on active duty, so the mix of emotions on the faces of both parent and child hits very close to home for me.
On Sept. 11, 2001, our family was about to become a military family, though I didn't know it then. My eldest son, Dan, a senior in high school, was profoundly impacted by that day. The once wisecracking teenager solemnly watched as his country suffered a devastating attack — and I watched as his innocence slipped away. Soon after 9/11, he scrapped his original college plans and pursued an appointment to the U. S. Military Academy at West Point.
Before long, we were those parents in the recruiting commercial. We watched with pride as Dan, and then several years later, our second son, David, took oaths to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States. Both of them reflected strength, confidence and a perceived sense of invincibility — they promised to go wherever their country would send them for missions they may not always agree with. Amid that pride, they likely didn't notice their parents' uncertainty and fear for what the future might bring.
That quiet, calm courage inherent in this generation of young Americans inspired me to start Operation Support Our Troops — America. Our mission has been to increase awareness of the needs of our military. Each year, we hold an event called Rockin' For the Troops, a day of celebration and support for our military community featuring music, patriotic displays and family entertainment (this year's headliner is country music star Ronnie Dunn). With the dedication and efforts of our volunteers, the organization has grown to serve the military community across the country.
Because less than 1 percent of the population is currently serving, many people don't understand the day-to-day realities military families face. Sending our children away, knowing they'll face danger, is totally counterintuitive to being a mom or dad. Each time that I — along with many other parents — say goodbye to my children and send them off to war, I am constantly reminded of the line, "You made them strong."
Whenever my sons are deployed and I'm able to speak with them, I am always aware of how strong they sound. Lonely perhaps, and homesick — but always strong. And their strength now helps us through the fear, pain of separation and heartache.
This year's Rockin' For the Troops will be bittersweet for me, with both of my sons deployed at the same time. Regardless of where they are, they will likely call with well wishes and a hearty, "Get it done, Mom!" They will sound strong, and so will I, despite how I may feel inside. Because they have made me strong.
The eighth annual Rockin' For the Troops featuring Ronnie Dunn will be held Saturday at Cantigny Park in Wheaton. Tickets are available at Jewel Osco stores in Wheaton, Bolingbrook, West Chicago and Naperville and at Rockinforthetroops.org.

Ludhiana teams win school titles, Chennai sides victorious in college division
Boys and girls teams from Ludhiana emerged victorious in the school division while Chennai teams took top honours in the college division of the first BFI-IMG Reliance National School and College Basketball League at the Thyagaraj Indoor Stadium here Sunday.
Jeppiar Institute of Technology, Chennai edged Government College, Ludhiana 88-85 in overtime to take home the college men's title.
Ludhiana's Palpreet Singh scored a match-high 42 points while teammate Harmandeep added 31 but it wasn't enough as a brilliant team performance by the Chennai side saw them through.
Arun Hari banked 28 points with Shashank contributing 24 to Jeppiar's cause.
In the college women's final, MOP Vaishnav College, Chennai pulled off a stunning one-point victory over SBM Jain College, Bangalore.
With only a few seconds left in the match, MOP Vaishnav's captain Diviya showed great composure in a pressure cooker atmosphere, to knock down her free throw and take her side to a memorable 74-73 win.
In the first final of the day, Government Girls Senior Secondary School, Ludhiana beat St. Joseph HS, Chennai, 59-55 in a low-scoring final.
Ludhiana's captain Samriti continued her scoring spree in the tournament, top scoring for her team with 24 points.
The second school finals was a rematch from an earlier round between the boys teams of Sr. Nav Bharti Public School, Ludhiana and Fr. Agnels School, Mumbai.
Sr Nav Bharti had already beaten Agnels earlier and came into the championship match unbeaten and on a roll, having breached the 100-point scoring barrier in their last two matches.
They put one over their opponents once again beating them 97-85.
While Sr. Nav Bharti depended heavily on their two junior international players, centre Gurwinder Singh Gill and point guard Loveneet Atwal, Fr. Agnels were led by a superhuman effort by point guard Rohon, who shot an incredible 11 three-pointers for 37 points in total.
All four winning teams from the four categories (school girls, school boys, college women and college men) were awarded Rs.1 lakh each while the runnersup took home Rs.75,000 each.

The Kelly-Griggs House Museum will welcome the public to a new display of rare Tuscan Springs memorabilia at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 15 at the 311 Washington St. Victorian home.
This photo was captured by Rufus Cook, a 16-yearold Boy Scout from San Francisco, who visited Tuscan Springs with his family in September 1907. Among the prominent businessmen pictured are Louie Lubratich of the Peerlees Coffee Company, third from left, Mike of Oakland s Acme Grill, fifth from left, and Tuscan Springs proprietor Edgerton Walbridge, far right, in one of one three photos of him known to exist. ( Courtesy photo )
The display, which coincides with the release of the first book ever written on the famous 19th century resort, will include numerous relics from the hot springs' 100- year history, many photos, a slide show presentation and book signing by author Bryon Burruss.
Tuscan Springs, well known for its "miraculous" healing springs, was frequented by Native Americans before the white settlers arrived in the 1840s.
It was also where borax was first discovered in America in 1856, and the property quickly became a health resort that drew visitors from throughout the United States.
It burned several times, but was finally decimated by fire beyond repair in 1916. Lying dormant for 30 years, a great effort was made to rebuild it in the late 1940s and early 50s, but the best laid plans came to an end with the governmental building material restrictions during the Korean War and the subsequent death of the new property owner.
This display will feature items from the collections of Burruss and former Red Bluff historian Lew Zink, as well as the collectibles already owned by the museum, and will represent the largest display of Tuscan Springs memorabilia offered to the public since the demise of the resort, 98 years ago.
The book, "Images of America: Tuscan Springs," from Arcadia Press, includes the never-beforetold complete history of the resort, and more than 180 photos of Tuscan Springs and early Red Bluff, many of which have not previously seen print.
Written with the exclusive assistance of the spring's property owners who have been the caretakers since 1947 the book also features a forward by Daily News Editor Chip Thompson.
Following the presentation, guests will be provided homemade cookies baked from 1856 recipes, and a new Tuscan Springs coffee blended and roasted especially for Kelly-Griggs by JumpinJakJava Coffee Roasters in Connecticut.
Anyone who would like to attend need only show up at the museum at 1 p.m. or 3 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 15.
Seating for each presentation is limited to 50 people.
Information is available by calling the museum at 527-1129.
Additional information about the book and resort is available at famoustuscansprings.x10.mx/index.html.

Author Info
"According to veteran sports-business journalist Yost, there never was a 'golden era' of college sports, when gentlemen scholars learned sportsmanship and teamwork; rather, sports have always been a means for colleges to earn money, power, and esteem, too often resulting in illiterate college athletes and corrupt athletic programs. ...(T)his intelligent critique of the U.S. college athletics makes a captivating examination of America's infatuation with money, celebrity, and sports."—Publishers Weekly
"This provocative look at college athletics by sports and business journalist Yost is sure to start some conversations. In no uncertain terms, Yost accuses the NCAA of being morally bankrupt and exploiting poor, inner-city youth as chattel that feeds a protection racket lining the pockets of the rich and powerful. ...Yost's book focuses primarily on football but will appeal widely to anyone with an interest in high school or college athletics. Though clearly opinionated, it is an excellent primer on the business of college sports."—Library Journal
"The most informed, most dogged analyst of the finances of sports is clearly Mark Yost. Are the hand-wringing, issue-concerned administrators of college sports ready for him? He's ready for them." —Bob Boyles, co-author, The USA TODAY College Football Encyclopedia
"In Varsity Green, Mark Yost joins the voices outside the stadium or fieldhouse who decry the hypocrisy and corruption in college athletics, and in weaving together the many aspects and actors he demonstrates that the madness is not just confined to March."—Allen R. Sanderson, University of Chicago
"Mark Yost lays bare the sordid details of the corrupting influence big money has on college athletics and academic integrity at many of our institutions of higher learning. The writing is entertaining, the facts disturbing."—Dennis Coates, Department of Economics, UMBC
"Mark Yost tells a readable story that presents recent research on college athletics in a very stimulating manner. The title of the opening chapter on the student athlete says it all: 'The Entertainment Product.'"—Phil Miller, Minnesota State University, Mankato
"Mark Yost ranks among the elite of 'sport and business of sport' writers. Honest and fearless, Varsity Green will excite both the hard core fan, as well as the casual NCAA observer. A Great read!" —Roy Green, nationally syndicated radio talk show host, Canada
In Varsity Green, Mark Yost cuts through clichés and common misconceptions to take a hard-eyed look at the current state of college athletics. He takes readers behind the scenes of the conspicuous and high-revenue business of college sports in order to dissect the enormous television revenues, merchandising rights, bowl game payoffs, sneaker contracts, and endorsement deals that often pay state university coaches more than the college president, or even the governor.
Money in college sports is nothing new. But readers will be amazed at the alarming depth and breadth of influence, both financial and otherwise, that college sports has within our culture. Readers will learn how academic institutions capitalize on the success of their athletic programs, and what role sports-based revenues play across campus, from the training room to the science lab. Yost pays particular attention to the climate that big-money athletics has created over the past decade, as both the NCAA's March Madness and the Bowl Championship Series have become multi-billion dollar businesses. This analysis goes well beyond campus, showing how the corrupting influences that drive college athletics today have affected every aspect of youth sports, and have seeped into our communities in ways that we would not otherwise suspect.
This book is not only for the players, policymakers, and other insiders who are affected by the changing economics of college athletics; it is a must-read for any sports fan who engages with the NCAA and deserves to see the business behind the game.

NATO Predicts it Will Take Weeks to Field Patriots in Turkey
NATO on Friday said it would be some time before any Patriot air-defense missiles are installed in Turkey, Reuters reported.
"I would expect that if the decision is taken it could take several weeks to deploy, rather than months," spokeswoman Oana Lungescu said.
The Western military alliance is expected to approve Ankara's request for air defense support against Syrian shells and ballistic missiles toward the beginning of next week, unidentified NATO diplomats said. Germany, the Netherlands, and the United States are the only NATO members that have Patriot batteries available, and they could need legislative authorization for sending the weapons to Turkey.
A NATO delegation is scouting for potential installation sites along Turkey's lengthy border with Syria. After the delegation submits its findings, alliance armed forces chiefs will give their advisements to NATO envoys, who are anticipated to then approve the deployments.
Lungescu declined to offer a timeline on how long it could take for national legislatures to approve Patriot deployments.

LA promoters Through Being Cool—who've been fighting hard for the dignity of the '90s and '00s with earlier nights packed with Ozma, Imperial Teen and Braid tracks—did their all-ska all-night Skaugust show at Barcade in (of course) August, and now they're bringing that same combo of pleasures both honest and adorably guilty to Alex's Bar with their Sell Out! Ska Nite. DJs Carlos, Dye Job and Sci Fi Scorpio promise selections (including selections by the Selecter) from each wave of the ska revivals, starting with the Specials and Madness and sliding all the way up to Sublime and Save Ferris. (Hometown tip: work in some Suburban Rhythm, too.) For those of you fearing you'd never skank again, here's one last chance to pick-it-up-pick-it-up-pick-it-up.

This truth becomes an experience when we believe it.
Then it becomes easier to allow Jesus to "offer up" our sufferings to God the Father to make ourselves and others holy. This is the purpose of our life."
Anonymous said: 1/2 Did you actually read John 6: 30-66? "I am the bread which came down from heaven" "I am the bread of life" "I AM the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh" "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."
*Cough* Not the anon, but it is very reasonable to assume that it is a metaphor; Jesus used them all the time. Except if you take a closer look at this particular passage it makes no sense for Jesus to be using metaphor in this particular instance. :)
God bless!
I'm still not convinced but thank you for being somewhat more gracious and a great deal less patronising than the anon. Hey you know I could be wrong, you could be wrong, the way I see it it's all one church and while these discussions are good to have I don't think there's any need for them to cause so much division as they have, and often do :)
Amen! Thanks for reading. :)
Pardon my jumping in, but this is one of my absolute favorite passages to talk about, and since tomorrow is Maundy Thursday—the day we celebrate the institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood (they are intimately bound together)—it seems fitting to elaborate…
The interesting thing is it's only misleading in English (and then only if the reader doesn't take the whole passage together—which it is admittedly hard to do, the way the modern Bible is divided up and since so many of us come to the text with preconceived notions.)
In the Greek, Jesus doesn't just say "Eat my flesh"; each time the Jews object when he says that, he strengthens his language, using verbs like "gnaw" and "chew" instead of just "eat"—he emphasized the physicality of the language.
But the best part is that there was a metaphorical idiom in the language of the day centered around "eat my flesh"—and it meant to defame the person, to speak badly of them. If Christ had been using the phrase metaphorically in the way commonly understood by the public at the time, he would have been saying, "Only if you blaspheme me can you have life in you." Which really doesn't make sense.
If Christ meant it as a metaphor, why didn't he explain himself? When his disciples and the crowds said, "How can he give us flesh to eat?" and "This is a hard saying; who can accept it?" and left, thinking he was a lunatic, why let himself remain misunderstood about something so important? If he meant it metaphorically, why didn't he even let the Twelve in on it? Instead he just asked them if they were going to leave, too.
Many Protestants say, "But what about verse 63? "It is the Spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are the Spirit and the life." But this is part of Jesus' whole confirmation of what he has just said: he asks the apostles if they, too, will abandon him because he taught that this very flesh and blood are the key to eternal life. He says, if you can't accept this, how can you accept any other miraculous thing? (v. 62). "These words," i.e. everything I have just been telling you, are the truth, they are life. We're not talking about base cannibalism ("the flesh is of no avail"), we're talking about me, about the power of God. And Peter confirms that they do believe: "And we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God." (v. 69).
If the Eucharist is just a symbol, then St. Paul must have been over the top in his 1st epistle to the Corinthians (11:27-30): "Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself. That is why many of you are weak and ill, and some have died."
Moreover, the Church Fathers—the earliest Christian leaders after the Apostles—unanimously proclaim that the Eucharist is the true body and blood of Jesus Christ:
Yes I did read it. Jesus also said 'I am the true vine' I don't think He was literally saying yes look at me I'm a plant, do you?
Ignatius of Antioch, who had been a disciple of the apostle John and who wrote a letter to the Smyrnaeans about A.D. 110, said, referring to "those who hold heterodox opinions," that "they abstain from the Eucharist and from prayer, because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior Jesus Christ, flesh which suffered for our sins and which the Father, in his goodness, raised up again" (6:2, 7:1).
Forty years later, Justin Martyr, wrote, "Not as common bread or common drink do we receive these; but since Jesus Christ our Savior was made incarnate by the word of God and had both flesh and blood for our salvation, so too, as we have been taught, the food which has been made into the Eucharist by the Eucharistic prayer set down by him, and by the change of which our blood and flesh is nourished, … is both the flesh and the blood of that incarnated Jesus" (First Apology 66:1–20).
Origen, in a homily written about A.D. 244, attested to belief in the Real Presence. "I wish to admonish you with examples from your religion. You are accustomed to take part in the divine mysteries, so you know how, when you have received the Body of the Lord, you reverently exercise every care lest a particle of it fall and lest anything of the consecrated gift perish. You account yourselves guilty, and rightly do you so believe, if any of it be lost through negligence" (Homilies on Exodus 13:3).
Cyril of Jerusalem, in a catechetical lecture presented in the mid-300s, said, "Do not, therefore, regard the bread and wine as simply that, for they are, according to the Master's declaration, the body and blood of Christ. Even though the senses suggest to you the other, let faith make you firm. Do not judge in this matter by taste, but be fully assured by faith, not doubting that you have been deemed worthy
of the body and blood of Christ" (Catechetical Discourses: Mystagogic 4:22:9).
In a fifth-century homily, Theodore of Mopsuestia seemed to be speaking to today's Evangelicals and Fundamentalists: "When [Christ] gave the bread he did not say, 'This is the symbol of my body,' but, 'This is my body.' In the same way, when he gave the cup of his blood he did not say, 'This is the symbol of my blood,' but, 'This is my blood,' for he wanted us to look upon the [Eucharistic elements], after their reception of grace and the coming of the Holy Spirit, not according to their nature, but to receive them as they are, the body and blood of our Lord" (Catechetical Homilies 5:1).
Moreover, the whole event where Christ proclaimed that he is the Eucharist, the living bread of life, follows closely on the heels of the feeding of the five thousand, where Christ miraculously multiplied the loaves to feed the crowds. The very next thing that happens is he tells the crowds when they ask "what must we do, to be doing the works of God?" that "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." (6:29) So the crowds ask, "Then what sign do you do, that we may see, and believe you?" And Christ's response is that he is the living bread of heaven, and that to have eternal life is to eat His flesh and drink His blood.
John is a completely amazing Gospel, thoughtfully and intricately told to show the luminous beauty of Christian truth, of the person of Christ, and this sequence of teachings is at the heart of it.

Notre Dame's athletic office unveiled an ambitious play to enhance the area surrounding the football stadium. The plan, dubbed the Campus Crossroads Project, will alter the facade of the stadium by adding three buildings to the existing structure.
The buildings will not only be for athletic use, housing academics as well. From the Projects website, the facility will house "more than 750,000 square feet of teaching, research, and performance space."
For football fans, the buildings will rise above the top edge of the stadium and provide premium seating and club amenities. The buildings will only be on the east, west, and south sides of the stadium so as not to obstruct the view of "Touchdown Jesus," the mural on the Hesburgh library.
The East and West buildings will house various classrooms, academic offices, and lounges for students. Both will have expanded premium seating. The East building is notable for a new digital media center as well as housing the press booth for football games.
The West building will feature a recreational sports and fitness facility as well as a state of the art career services center. The South building will house the Department of Music as well as serve as a location for a new scoreboard on the stadium interior.
Construction is expected to being within the next two years and will take nearly three to complete.
With the expanded physical space, the university is expected to increase its faculty to give students more on campus support. These new buildings are designed to bring the campus and its students closer together.
"The integrated nature of this project will maintain the compact walkability of campus, facilitate deeper connection and collaboration across the various units of the University, and offer an exciting addition to what we believe is the best on-campus student learning experience in the country," Notre Dame's president Rev. John Jenkins said.
It appears to be an ambitious project that will make an iconic stadium a much more integral part of the campus.

Saturday, I woke up, dusted off my hangover and went shopping. I came home with two planters of these adorable little succulents. Every home needs something green and living, so it felt so good to give these little guys a new home. Grow for me?
Two weeks ago I bought a vintage velvet sofa off of a friend. It wasn't conventionally beautiful, but I was going to style it up, and try to make it look as chic as possible (ala Design on a Dime). Well, my mother thought it was hideous, so she bought me these instead. Gotta love mommas.
This weekend was good to me. I feel like I have a grown-up apartment now.
I have (2) glass pitchers full, and I mean FULL, of corks. Yeah, I wine and dine quite a bit. For awhile I've been trying to think of something quirky and eclectic to do with them. I will look no further. Succulents. In Corks. On my fridge. Enough said.

10.3: Don't drag and drop attachments to/from Mail
as far as windows users go.. i have no idea what that means, but i've been sending attachments to windows users every day, multiple times a day and have had no errors reported to me.
10.3: Don't drag and drop attachments to/from Mail
I just sent two identical emails, one with each method (D&D, Attach) and the results were identical. I'd suspect it merely doesn't send the resource fork in the case that the file has one, which tends to mess up Windows users 'cause they see two files not one, one of which is readable, the other is "garbage" to them.
10.3: Don't drag and drop attachments to/from Mail
I send a PDF'd x-mas list to my mother in-law who thought she was missing something as two files showed up in her email, one that did nothing. I'm assuming the "send Widows friendly..." bit will keep out that erroneous extra attachment.

Summer is approaching fast and so are preparations for NFL fantasy leagues. Here is an updated list of potential sleepers from every team in the NFC South.
Carolina Panthers: Tyler Gaffney – RB
All the talk during the off-season has centered on what the Carolina Panthers plan to do about their passing game following the departure of Steve Smith and other veterans from last season. However, those who know the teams understand the bread and butter of their philosophy is running the ball. DeAngelo Williams is into his 30s now and backup Jonathan Stewart has not played in double digit games since 2011. That is why NFL fantasy eyes should watch 6th round pick Tyler Gaffney very carefully. He's a great fit for the system and has experience as a work horse back from his time at Stanford.
New Orleans Saints: Khiry Robinson – RB
Perhaps one of the biggest surprises of the 2013 playoffs was reserve New Orleans Saints running back Khiry Robinson. Going from spot duty behind Darren Sproles, Mark Ingram and Pierre Thomas he emerged in postseason to put up 102 yards and a touchdown on 21 carries against Philadelphia and Seattle. While most expect Ingram to get the nod as the starting running back in 2014, nobody should be surprised if Robinson ends up taking that away from him. He runs hard, finds the hole and has versatility as a receiver out of the backfield.
Atlanta Falcons: Devonta Freeman – RB
This was a blip on the radar for many draft enthusiasts but for NFL fantasy owners they had to take careful note of the Atlanta Falcons landing Devonta Freeman. The Florida State product was a key cog in the Seminoles run to a national championship. He does everything asked of him. He runs inside, runs outside, can catch passes out of the backfield and throws his body around willingly in pass protection. Atlanta has wanted a running back to feature with their dynamic passing attack and Freeman has the talent to emerge as that very weapon.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Brandon Myers – TE
Obviously the real hype will center around 2nd round draft pick Austin Seferian-Jenkins regarding the tight end position but injuries and inexperience may hold him back from being productive this 2014 season, at least in the early going. Meanwhile the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quietly added veteran help at the position when they signed fifth-year man Brandon Myers. While not the athlete ASJ is, he has a knack for getting himself open and presenting a nice big target for his quarterback. Over the past two seasons he has averaged 664 yards and four touchdowns.

No publication dates given; probably 1994-1999. www.budamusique.com
"Everything the shaman says during kamlanye (shamanic bear session) comes to him from his nape. In the nape I have a hole through which I hear everything I then transmit to others." Thus says Delsjumjaku Kosterkin about his 17-minute performance of a shamanic bear session on Volume 1.The Nganasan number only 1300, and live in three villages north of theArctic Circle. These extraordinary recordings not only sound beautiful inthemselves, but constitute a link in the continuum of sounds that stretches across Siberia to the west, passes through North and Central America, andends at Tierra del Fuego. Henri Lecomte provides wonderful information that makes it easy to enjoy this repertoire available here for the firsttime outside of Russia. In addition to excellent photographs, the 26-page booklet contains a map, ethnographic commentary, stories or texts of thesongs, and descriptions of the performers.
The next volume covers the largest native group in Siberia, the Yakut or Sakha, who live below the Arctic Circle. Although based in Turkish culture, the music combines influences from Mongolia, Siberia, and Russia. Timbre plays an important rôle in this music, as evidenced in the guttural sounds, yodel techniques, and vocal multiphonics of the singing, as well as in the Jew's harp playing. The shamanistic carved posts illustrated in the booklet share features with similar posts I've seen in Korea (whose earlier religion was also shamanism).
Moving back above the Arctic Circle, Volume 3 covers three linguistic groups living around the Kolyma River. In addition to everyday songs, round dances, drum music, and epics, the CD includes outstanding recordings of animal imitations and whispery throat techniques. Parallels with Inuit throat games need no pointing out, but there is also an unusual similarity between a Cukc pic eynen (throat rasping on both in and out breaths; track 11) and the Polynesian maha'u pig chant from the northern Marquesas Islands.
The Koryak people, who numbered less than 8,000 in 1970, suffered persecution and violence when the government began closing down villages in the early fifties. Judging by these recordings, important facets of Koryak culture have survived the attempted cultural destruction. In the 30-page booklet accompanying the disc, the Russian names of the 21 singers are given first, followed by their Koryak names in parentheses. Lecomte's recordings present personal songs, often containing or consisting of vocables and accompanied by frame drum. Especially moving are the songs recorded in 1994 of Petr Kotginin, born in 1910. Also included are three vocal duets sung by two women using hocket and guttural singing techniques.
Recorded in 1996, Volume 5 contains music by four peoples living in the southeastern corner of mainland Siberia. The round frame drums accompanying some of the songs are very well recorded. Other instruments include a jingles belt, a rattle, a one-stringed fiddle, a buzz-disk similar to a bull-roarer, birch bark horns, and Jew's harp. Eighty-two year old Eiki sings (track 28) with a tremolo that Lecomte says is also used by Ainu singers, who once lived on the continent (and now live in Hokkaido).
The final volume covers Sakhalin Island, which had sporadically been under Japanese administration. All remaining Ainu moved to Hokkaido in 1945. I first heard this wonderful music in 1990, when a group of Sakhalin Islanders performed a rare concert at the Asia Society, and wished that some recording was available. This important disc fills that void, with recordings made on Sakhalin in 1996 plus a song by a Nivkh living in the Amur Basin recorded on wax cylinders in 1910. Some of the most interesting sounds on the disc are those of women singing through kal'ni voice modifiers (solo on track 17 and duo on track 19). The instruments are made from a three-meter stem of an Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) plant. Although voice modifiers exist in many cultures around the world, the only other place I have have come across this particular form of it is in the Momase region of Papua New Guinea.
This series is a model of how to make unfamiliar music accessible to people interested in new sounds. Every track was carefully recorded, with obvious empathy for the performers. The detail of the information in the booklets is outstanding. The well-chosen photographs add a great deal, answering questions about who, what and where, but also giving a feeling, a sense of these distant cultures that differ so radically from our own. I highly recommend these recordings to people interested in heartfelt song, to those who enjoy the musical use of unusual timbres, and to those seeking to understand similarities and differences between Siberian and Native American cultures.

Exclusive Q&A: Merlin Guilbeau on the Future of the NBFAA
NBFAA's Merlin Guilbeau talks about a possible name change, membership reciprocity and other top association concerns
On Jan. 26, 2006, the National Burglar and Fire Alarm Association (NBFAA) met with 51 attendees for a strategic summit. At issue was the very future of the association, which has overcome a number of challenges in the past, including financial difficulties and the loss of some chartered state associations.
As part of the strategic summit, the organization revisited its mission statement, reviewed its board of directors structure, and developed new technology focus groups. As part of the discussion, the NBFAA has even proposed changing its name, feeling that the "burglar and fire" emphasis no longer reflects the diversified nature of today's dealer and integrator companies. The newly proposed name, "Electronic Life Safety & Systems Association", will go to the membership for approval.
According to Merlin Guilbeau, the association's executive director, 2005 was a year of change for the association, as it was able to regain its financial footing, establish lobbying efforts and begin to establish the organization as the leading organization for security systems dealers and integrators.
On Friday, Feb. 3, 2006, SecurityInfoWatch.com caught up with Guilbeau by phone from the organization's Dallas-area offices to get a full report. The interview with him appears below:
SIW: You've recently published a report on the strategic summit that has been sent to members, and the first thing it covers is the rephrasing of the organization's vision statement. In terms of the changes in the vision statement, is the vision of the NBFAA changing or is it just refocusing?
Guilbeau: I guess the statement itself has changed somewhat from what was approved back in fall of 2003. We are now able to say it in a much more concise manner and probably in a more focused effort.
The old one says "Through the anticipation of socioeconomic, technological and environmental changes and their effects on the industry, this association will become the go-to entity for services guidance and information."
Many people feel as though, for our segment of the industry, we are the 'go-to' entity. Over the last 3 or 4 years, we have stabilized ourselves financially. We're in a much better position. Now we need to assume much more of a leadership role and we need to lead the electronic life safety and security industry and systems integrators. By doing that we'll benefit not only our members but the consumers and overall public safety.
SIW: This report mentions that you're proposing a new name as the Electronic Life Safety and Systems Association. What does that proposed named change reflect in terms of the overall shift in the organization?
I think it reflects what the industry has seen over the years. Back in 1948 when the association was first formed, it was known as the national burglar alarm association. Some years later -- I think it was the early 1950s -- they added the word fire to the name. And for many years the industry has been known as a burglar alarm or security industry. But quite frankly it's now much more than that.
There is much more than burglar alarms in terms of providing security and safety to consumers and the public. So we wanted to bring the name more in line with how technology is reflected today and how the terms that are used.
Our members do much more than just burglar alarms. They do fire alarm systems, which are known as electronic life safety. They do telephone systems, home theater systems, and of course video surveillance and access control. Those are all things that are being referred to as systems. So we felt like that it encompassed a much broader scope of what our members do, rather than just burglar and fire.
SIW: When we spoke in January before the NBFAA summit, you had mentioned that the NBFAA did not want to lose its focus on security. How did the strategic summit reflect that desire to keep security as the primary focus of the organization?

Well I have always liked the Mac Book Pro's hardware design, seems on the hardware side it is still one of the best out there. It doesn't surprise me that Windows ran great on it since its still a better OS and than that crap Apple puts out.
But they need to do the test on clean installs and see how well it runs, that is the only true way to do this.
What the ***? No Samsung? No Asus? No MSI? No Sager? Sony? Toshiba? Really? You best be joking. Completely illegitimate ranking.
Probably, I mean it states that they really didn't even do a fair comparison to start with. They need to expand who is in the test but i'm sure Apple paid them off too :P
as an avid android fan i can attest to how crapware or bloat ware that is shoved on to our computers or in my case cell phone Os slows it down and takes up resources when i would never use any of that stuff in the first place. IT takes alot of time to determine whats not necessary so i can uninstall it and free up space and increase performance. Well while theres no proff that apple paid them off regardless at least he agreed to try clean installs on other the other pcs later on and release a report. but what i dont understand is why is he using and underpowered dell laptop and as was mentioned by mayhem matthew no other laptops in this running? What was the point?? Was it all similar hardware??? All that said apples laptops all have a very nice form factor and i wouldnt mind having a macdows/winmac pro laptop.

"There are so many Divas who have come and gone who have left their mark in WWE: Ivory, Jazz, Lita, etc. … Ric Flair says, "To be the man, you gotta beat the man," so if I had to choose one, it'd be the Diva who most people would consider the greatest Diva of all time, Trish Stratus. The only reason I'd choose her is because I know in my heart that I can put her down."
"I was brought in by Hiro Matsuda to always be professional, don't ever question finishes. If a guy like Undertaker [wanted to beat me at WrestleMania], I wouldn't have had any problem putting him over, especially at WrestleMania. I understand ... that some guys might be frustrated but I don't understand what they would be frustrated about. It's one match in a career. If you have confidence in yourself, your career, and the big picture as far as where you're going, I don't think it hurts at all to put Undertaker over at WrestleMania."
- Lex Luger on Undertaker
After playing football collegiately for the University of Miami and professionally for the Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, Lex Luger made his way to the NFL when he signed with the Green Bay Packers. Unfortunately, though, he never played a single regular season game for the team.
Since the dangers of football has been a heavily discussed topic, Lex Luger, who had a brief stint in the NFL, defended the sport through his Twitter account.
"I know Sting loves his time in TNA but at the same time he's never told me he has refused the idea of ever going to WWE."

The patient was a 14-year-old male who was referred for evaluation of mild exogenous obesity. Upon physical examination, the patient's testes were noted to be smaller than normal. Penile size was appropriate for his age and he had pubic hair. Secondary causes of obesity were excluded by history/physical examination or laboratory testing. Excluded were: hypothyroidism, growth hormone deficiency, Cushing syndrome, pseudohypoparathyroidism, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, and syndromic forms of obesity such as Prader-Willi syndrome and Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
Because of the possibility of Klinefelter syndrome (based on his small, firm testes), a karyotype was sent. When the karyotype was reported as 46,XX, the clinician called the director of the cytogenetics laboratory to confirm that this was correct. Indeed, the karyotype was correct (46,XX). The director of the cytogenetics laboratory said that the lab was going to perform one more test before the results were formally reported.
Can you explain why this boy could have a 46,XX karyotype and what additional test was going to be performed?
Answer: This teenage boy can be described as a "sex reversed 46,XX male." "Sex-reversed" is a descriptive term for individuals whose external genitalia are the "reverse" predicted by their sex chromosome constitution, i.e., males are usually 46,XY and females are usually 46,XX. This is not a case of Klinefelter syndrome.

PORTAGE | Jabria Saleh wants to be an attorney when she grows up. She knows to accomplish that goal, she's going to have to read a lot.
But, said the Crisman Elementary School fifth-grader, her motivation had waned.
A program for fifth-graders, Read to Succeed, said Saleh, has sparked her interest again.
"I really like it because we get to learn a lot about people's jobs," she said.
Each Friday at the school, someone from the community is invited into the school to read to the students, share how they need reading for their job and answer questions.
"As a child, growing up, I wasn't motivated to read," said teacher Gretchen Schulz. "I want kids to understand the importance of reading."
This week Portage Fire Chief Tom Fieffer shared a book from his childhood, "Days with Frog and Toad," with the students. He also told them why reading is important to a firefighter.
"If we couldn't read, we couldn't get to your house," he told the youngsters after explaining that when a call comes in, a firefighter has to look at a map and be able to read street addresses to respond.
Fieffer read the book from his iPad, telling students he still loves to read and carries 14 books with him on the device.
Schulz said they've had everyone from the school superintendent, a nurse, former NBA player, bakery owner and police chief read to the students.
"I think it is really a good program," said student Marissa Powell. "I see a lot of grown ups and how they use reading in their jobs."
Tiara Newbert agreed. Not only does she enjoy listening to them read to her and her classmates, she said it also made her realize, "almost everybody has to read."
