Comments about Butler Magazine Table - Midnight Rose:
The table came damaged. It appears that it was dropped as one corner was dented and the side was split. I did glue the split but could not do anything to correct the dent. This is the second table I bought from hayneedle. The one bought last year arrived in perfect condition.

Among new biotech medicines that Michigan companies are working on:
-- A treatment to repair damaged neural tissue in patients with spinal cord injuries
-- A medicine that treats the effects of anthrax after toxins have been released into the body, a condition for which there is no approved therapy
-- A treatment for menopause that mimics estrogen's beneficial action in bone tissue
"Researchers are making exciting progress in the search for new cures and treatments for a wide array of serious diseases. But these efforts are wasted if the medicines that are developed are not accessible to the patients who need them," said PhRMA President and CEO Billy Tauzin.
Help is available to patients in need through the Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA), a program sponsored by America's pharmaceutical research companies. To date, the PPA has helped more than 5 million patients nationwide, including more than 176,087 people in Michigan. Since its launch in April 2005, the PPA bus tour has visited all 50 states and more than 2,000 cities. The PPA bus has been to Michigan nine times since the program was launched.

Ballard signs license, supply agreement with Synergy Hydrogen for roughly $17M
Ballard Power Systems signed a new long-term license and supply agreement with an existing partner in China, Guangdong Synergy Hydrogen Power, to provide fuel cell power products and technology solutions in support of the planned deployment of approximately 300 fuel cell-powered buses in the cities of Foshan and Yunfu, China. The deal has an estimated initial value of $17M through 2016, with the opportunity for "significant" recurring royalties starting in 2017, the company said. The agreement includes supply and sale of fully-assembled fuel cell power modules, ready-to-assemble module kits, a technology license for localization of assembly, supply of proprietary fuel cell stacks and long-term recurring royalties leveraged to unit volumes of locally assembled modules. "This deployment in Foshan will serve as a major competitive advantage for Ballard and our local partners as we seek to bring additional Chinese cities onboard. China's new energy program involves 48 cities that are focused on addressing severe air quality issues, in part through expansion of public transit, with 1,000 clean energy buses to be deployed in each participating city," remarked Ballard CEO Randy MacEwen. The announcement is in addition to Ballard's June announcement regarding the signing of license and supply agreements with Synergy as well as with Nantong Zehe New Energy.

While the poker bloggers and newsletters, including that of the AGA are talking about new alliances being formed between big casino companies and offshore internet poker operators, there is little hope for the players who have won money on the sites and not reported the winnings.
Whatever deal, if any, that may get struck between the offshore operators, big casino companies and the state and federal regulators and prosecutors there is no one who will be speaking for the players. Players who won and did not report can expect that demands will be made for information about them as a condition of any deal approval. What information, you should expect the same type of information request as the IRS is now demanding of offshore banks, meaning, name, address, id number, and total deposits, total withdrawals, (by year) banking information (where was the money sent) and a bunch more. The IRS and state taxing agencies, may then filter by amount of activity (amount played and won) and audit accordingly.....

This recipe wasn't bad considering the preparation time, but I'd say the gruyere is essential to giving the dish a bit of interest.flag if inappropriate
Delicious so...flag if inappropriate
Used prosiutto and thought it was great! But next time to make it a little more like cordon bleu I think I will bread the cutlets.flag if inappropriate
Using cumin and pepperjack cheese makes this ANYTHING BUT cordon bleu. Maybe you could submit it as a recipe, but it's not a review of this one.flag if inappropriate
I used olive oil, and seasoned boneless, skinless breasts with salt, pepper and smokey paprika. I actually misread the instructions and placed my chicken in the oil, then into the oven on broil. They cooked in about 14 minutes, without turning and had a golden color. Very tender. I added sliced deli ham and pepperjack cheese, returned to broiler for 2 minutes. I served them with green beans which I drizzled with the hot olive oil in the pan. My husband said "write this one down honey" Next time I will add some cumin and garlic powder and make it a "southwestern cordon blue". Yum.flag if inappropriate
I made this last night. My daughter and granddaughter liked it. It was good, not great. But I couldn't justify spending $8 for 1/2# of cheese, so I substituted swiss. I would like to try it with the gryere, but will have to wait for more plentiful times. I will make this again, it is a great dish for when you don't want to spend the whole evening in the kitchen.flag if inappropriate
Excellent taste. Simple ingredients and easy to make. I substituted black forest ham and provolone and one tbsp. butter and one extra-virgin olive oil. Enjoy!flag if inappropriate
Not bad -- certainly a quick and easy weeknight dinner meal. Doesn't replace the real thing in my books though...flag if inappropriate
This is a very easy, quick meal that is as simple as it is delicious. I used a sharp deli Swiss cheese on top and it tasted very nice.flag if inappropriate
so easy and truly fast - used prosiutto instead of ham and skipped the salt - fantastic!flag if inappropriate

Fearing he might lose his favorite, Wendy Tsao decided to make Dani a new one. Using a drawing he often made as her guide, she improvised a plush toy snowman.

Lennar to build homes at Fiddler's Creek
Fiddler's Creek, a private, 3,964-acre master-planned community offering complete resort lifestyle amenities, has contracted to sell 227 single-family and coach home sites to Lennar Corp.
Lennar, a national homebuilder, plans to initiate construction on the sites beginning with the village of Millbrook within the Aviamar section in Fiddler's Creek. The purchase represents the company's entrance into the community and commitment to working with Fiddler's Creek.
"We are delighted to welcome another well-known and well-respected national homebuilder to Fiddler's Creek," said Aubrey J. Ferrao, president and CEO of Fiddler's Creek, LLC. "The single-family and coach homes to be built by Lennar will complement the offerings currently available and will provide buyers with a high-quality product in a distinctive neighborhood."
Launched in 1998, Fiddler's Creek is committed to preserving the environment and is being planned to accommodate and enhance the beauty of Florida's natural environment. Less than one-third of the land at Fiddler's Creek will be developed for residential use, while the remainder is dedicated primarily to nature reserves, lakes, parks, golf courses and recreational areas.
Darin McMurray, president of the Southwest Florida division of Lennar Homes, stated that his firm is excited to enter Fiddler's Creek and has been waiting 15 years to do so. "This community offers an attractive lifestyle and natural setting that will be very desirable to our buyers," he said.
Founded in 1954, Miami-based Lennar Corp. builds affordable, move-up and retirement homes in communities in 17 states throughout the country that cater to almost any lifestyle, including as urban, golf course, active adult or suburban communities.
Located off Collier Boulevard on the way to Marco Island, Fiddler's Creek comprises approximately 4,000 acres and is zoned for 6,000 residences. The master-planned residential community will be comprised of about 100 distinct residential neighborhoods upon completion.
Amenities offered at Fiddler's Creek include a 54,000-square-foot Club & Spa, fitness center, resort-style multi-pool swimming complex, tennis courts, restaurants, and the opportunity to join the Golf Club ranked in Golfweek's 100 Best Residential Golf Courses in the country for the seventh consecutive year and the Tarpon Club offering Fiddler's Creek homeowners the opportunity to enjoy a beach and boating lifestyle.
The sales center for Fiddler's Creek is at 8152 Fiddler's Creek Parkway. Online at www.fiddlerscreek.com.

Sexy Ninja Girls' Cosplay for Japanese history fan Rekij-joWritten by: Megumi on February 5, 2012 at 11:54 pm | In Adult Toy Releases | Discuss »
Us Japanese girls have a reputation for being, well, meek, right?
The truth is there are plenty of tough ladies out there. Most Japanese wives strictly control their hubbies' wallet and if you've ever met a girl from Osaka, likely you know they are not to be messed around with.
If you and your lady like the fighting spirit, then get into the real way of the warrior, history style, with these funky ninja and Sengoku Warring States period kinky costumes. I always like to give Tadashi a good whacking whenever he's feeling horny.
Recently in Japan there has been a craze for Reki-jo, or the "history girl", a kind of female okaku who loves historical dramas, samurai stuff and all things ancient.
There are now special themed Reki-jo bars and events, where the girls like to pepper their conversations with historical references and old phrases. There ideal dream is to get married in a Japanese castle and you may find them dressed in kimonos wandering around old areas like Kyoto or Asakusa, or in the library devouring a book on the Shinsengumi.
If your girl is a Reki-jo history buff but you want to put her passions to better uses, dress her up in sexy ninja cosplay and we reckon you will enjoy her special history lessons indeed!

Prater said Friday that he was justified in releasing the video. The district attorney said he had to explain to the public that they have a right to defend themselves but that there is a line they can't cross if there is no longer an imminent threat. He said the video release had a legitimate law enforcement purpose.
Defense attorneys also criticized prosecutors' efforts to remove the original trial judge from the case. They complain they were not allowed to participate in prosecutors' initial meetings with that judge.
District Judge Tammy Bass-LeSure took herself off the case Aug. 31.
Prosecutors were upset with Bass-LeSure after learning she had in July given the names of three attorneys to a gym trainer with a pending drug case assigned to her. One of the names was Joe Brett Reynolds, one of the pharmacist's attorneys.
In their request, defense attorneys also questioned why it took so long for prosecutors to ask Bass-LeSure to quit the case. The attorneys said prosecutors first learned of a problem on July 12 then confirmed it July 22 when prosecutors had the trainer secretly record a meeting with the judge.
Defense attorneys suggested — but did not directly allege — that prosecutors waited until Elliott was next in line to get a murder case. Elliott is a former prosecutor who has a reputation for toughness.
Prater said he did not know who would get the case if Bass-LeSure stepped aside. The district attorney also said he acted against Bass-LeSure when he did because he had to complete an investigation.
The other robber inside the pharmacy, Ingram, pleaded guilty in January to first-degree murder for Parker's death. Ingram, now 16, is being held in a juvenile detention center.
In a related development Friday, District Judge Kenneth Watson refused to dismiss a first-degree murder charge against a man accused of coercing the two teenagers into doing the robbery.
Anthony D. Morrison, 44, is charged under Oklahoma's felony murder law, which allows a robber to be charged with murder if an accomplice dies during the crime. His attorneys argued the robbery was over by the time the pharmacist fired the fatal shots so the felony murder law does not apply.
Watson, though, ruled Morrison is properly charged. The judge said he feels the felony murder law is overly broad but it is up to the Legislature or Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals to correct it.

Not far behind the start of school is the beginning of the soccer season. For many parents and kids, this means several games each weekend, and for those on travel teams, multiple mid-week practices. We spoke to a couple of local parents about playing recreational ("rec") soccer and its more competitive cousin, travel.
Ed Lee has three children and is a veteran of both the rec and travel worlds. "Rec should be the gold standard," he says. "That's where it starts." In his kids' recreational soccer league, "the ideals promoted are participation, fun, and learning the sport," according to Lee, who adds that the idea of winning is introduced, but is a distant number four.
Lee emphasizes that 'participatory' means: "Anyone who wants to play can play." This follows the philosophy of the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO).
Sandy Doherty, whose 12-year-old daughter, Kate, is in her fourth year of travel soccer, says, "There is certain snobbery about travel soccer in certain areas." Kate was asked to try out for a travel team when she was in third grade, but, says Doherty, "We said no. She didn't need that at age 8." When Kate was asked again the next year, Doherty reconsidered. Her priority for Kate is that "she really enjoys it."
Doherty urges parents to be aware of the travel team coach's agenda. Kate's first coach, she says, was "very into teaching"; her second coach was "very into winning"; and her current coach is a mixture of the two.
Ed Lee, whose only experience playing soccer was at sleep-away camp, coached rec because, he explains, "No one else raised his hand. I had to get a rule book — I didn't even know what a corner kick was."
Lee is now a proponent of the developmental system that starts in kindergarten with age appropriate drills and small-sided games. "We start with drills," he says. "Everyone has a ball at his feet; there is no lining up. One game involves a dragon trying to steal balls. The kids have to dribble away, and before you know it, they are learning how to change direction, use their left foot, and pass." They build from 3 versus 3 games to 4 versus 4; by second grade, kids are playing 7 versus 7.
While Kate Doherty made the travel team on her first try, Ed Lee's son, Ben, then age 8, did not. "He couldn't grasp why," recalls Lee. "He said, 'I tried my hardest — why can't I play?'" He soon gave up the game. His sister, Zoe, however, did not make the travel team her first time, but persevered and ended up playing travel soccer for three years. Ed Lee says it was a positive experience for her: "She made friends outside her elementary school and improved her game."
Lee and Doherty agree that better athletes should have a higher level of competition, but Lee feels that kids on travel teams should also be required to play rec soccer. "That's how weaker kids push themselves," he believes. "They emulate the stronger kids. And being a stronger player teaches leadership qualities." Both advise that kids under 10 are too young to be playing competitively. But as Doherty notes, "Soccer is wildly popular. There is certainly plenty of room for both types of programs."* Names changed throughoutFor more info:—AYSO: search for local affiliates by zip code: www.soccer.org—Manhattan Soccer Club has travel teams starting at U9 (under nine)www.manhattansc.org —Chelsea Piers has developmental soccer programs, www.chelseapiers.com—Eastern New York Youth Soccer Association has a premier travel league in Queens, and an Olympic development program: www.enysoccer.com/—SABA (Soccer At Its Best Academy) trains girls travel teams in the Long Island Junior Soccer League www.sabaskills.com—Brooklyn Patriots Soccer Club has a developmental program and travel teams: http://eteamz.active.com/bpsc/—Westchester Youth Soccer League has fall travel soccer teams around the county: (914) 235-5110; www.wyslsoccer.org—Larchmont Junior Soccer League has travel and rec teams: http://ljsl.org/index.html —Mamaroneck Junior Soccer League travel and rec teams: www.mjsl.org

MD- Prominent ministers back accused wrongdoer
Shame on those ministers who are now publicly rallying around Rev. C. J. Mahaney just because a legal technicality voided most of the child sex abuse and cover up suits lawsuits against Sovereign Grace Ministries.
It's dreadfully hurtful to child sex abuse victims when people in authority publicly back accused wrongdoers. And it hinders criminal investigations because it intimidates victims, witnesses and whistleblowers into staying silent.
Support Rev. Mahaney if you must. But do so privately in ways that don't further harm depress and scare other child sex abuse victims into keeping silent and thus helping child predators escape detection and prosecution.Read more

MsMarginalized added a topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithMixed Kitchen (Oxymoron, I Know!)I know, in a *perfect* world, I would be able to have a gluten-free kitchen for my 19 y/old son (& me). But I'm married & our daughter and her s/o also live with us...so we have the oxymoron of a mixed kitchen.
My Celiac isn't so bad. My son....he gets sick looking at their loaf of bread (or at least it SEEMS that way!)
I've separated everything I can think of. Their toaster & ours. Their pots/pans & ours. Their dishes & ours. Their cooking utensils & ours. Their eating utensils (for glutened food, it's plastic ware that gets thrown out) and ours.
I've wondered for a long time (& asked wherever/whenever I can) does it matter if something glutened gets into the dishwasher with the gluten-free stuff? What if the dishwasher does a load of glutened stuff & then gluten-free stuff?
Handwashing we do in separate basins at separate times & THAT is when all glutened stuff gets washed right now.
So, the dishwasher....does it matter?

MsMarginalized added a post in a topic TravelFor what it's worth, both my son & I "washed out" of the Alvine phase III test of the new Celiac drug, what a pain it is to go through all that to be dropped because we are "TOO HEALTHY".
Guess what? If you go look in depth on the U.S. government website that covers drug testing & see what they are testing...and read the labels on the commercially available now supplements...it's the same! Phase I & II did show promise and there's a reason it's into the end of Phase III. I just SHUDDER to think what the co$t of THAT Rx is gonna be!
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic Military And CeliacThe U.S. Military is a bit of an anomaly. They say they want the best & will help their troops....but it ain't always so!
I was in a Celiac Support group. One of our members was an Army reserve officer on active duty. He just got diagnosed and was having a dickens of a time with rations out in the field. Everything seems to rotate around WHEAT for the U.S. Army. A lot of the MRE's are pasta based and then when they shipped in "fresh" food, it was often.....SANDWICHES. He told us about one female enlisted soldier who pressed the diet issue and received a discharge. He was bidding his time, hoping to be able to climb the chain of command and help real change happen. I don't attend that group anymore, so I don't know how he's doing with it.
edited to add: I guess this falls into the beyond diagnosis into life situations category, sorry if it's posted in the wrong place.
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic Anxiety/recoveryWow, y'all! I'm fortunate that I've not had the panic attacks you describe, but then again, I've had major depressive disorder for over 20 years.
I just finished Jennifers Way by Jennifer Esposito. She describes her panic attacks and other issues that went hand-in-hand with her un-diagnosed (& then newly diagnosed) Celiac.
I realize how Celiac is a RANGE (maybe like Autism?) my Celiac can be bad when I get gluttened but not to the degree that some folks have.
Maybe some of the things Jennifer does & has found can help? (if we are allowed to put in links, I would put in one over to amazon.com....that's where I got a kindle version of her book) some forums I've been on don't allow that & I'm too new here to rock any boats.....
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic New At This...Education is the best advice ever. Just be careful where you get it from. I just finished reading Jennifers Way by Jennifer Esposito. Another good author is Elizabeth Hasselbeck. Your public library probably has most (if not all) of Elizabeths books (she has a few). There is a lot here on line, too. Just be careful.
My 2cents for your first little bit of time after diagnosis: shop the outside of your grocery store. Fresh fruits & vegs., fresh meat, seafood. Lightly steam the vegs & don't over-do the heavy fiber ones. Be careful with dairy...sometimes folks find that they are sensitive at first because of the damage done by the disease. I'm lucky that there's a gluten-free bakery w/in 30 miles of my home. If there's not one near you, poke around here at the Glutenfree mall. Also check out same brand items on Amazon/other on-line retailers.
Good luck & God bless.
edited to add: there are a few gluten free bloggers out there...poke around them. Some aren't my cup of tea, but since you can read their previous postings, you can see which one's know what they're talking about.
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic Do I Need To Purchase Gluten Free Makeup, Soap, Shampoo?Burts Bees lip balms are all gluten-free as far as I know. I've also found that the higher end department store stuff is all going gluten-free now (but who can afford $35-$50 a tube for lipstick???)
I had an extraordinarily BAD reaction to hair coloring right before my diagnosis. I used that as an excuse to stop coloring my hair. I'm glad I did, the money I'm saving from THAT is just going into EVERYTHING ELSE I have to do gluten-free!
Like others have said, the Celiac reaction is in your gut...so supposedly only if the item is going into your mouth somehow will it "matter". I've found that RETAIL THERAPY helps me sometimes and getting into the habit of reading labels & looking for gluten-free is only a good thing. If it makes you feel better, then do it. It can't hurt for something to be gluten-free if it doesn't have to be but can REALLY hurt if it's not and it needs to be!
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic Is It Possible To Get Gluten From The Dishwasher?From my understanding, the alcohol does denature the bonds in the peptides. I do not remember where I learned that, so I cannot state any source, sorry.
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic After You Cook gluten-freeI didn't have any re-checks....DS had one at 3 months, 6 months & 1 year.
Yes, I know he is not eating outside of the house (he refuses to).
About eating at school, what I meant was that he sits down the table from his friends, with space between them & him (but that is not very often, he usually waits to get home to eat.)
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic Is It Possible To Get Gluten From The Dishwasher?Beer contains alcohol/it is not pure alcohol. IIRC, depending on the beer, the alcohol content can be from 2% to 12%.
The alcohol I am speaking of would be pure alcohol. Rubbing alcohol will denature gluten on cookware.
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic After You Cook gluten-freeMy son is 17 y/old. Whenever he does eat at school, it's a gluten-free pb&j made at home...and he eats separately from the other kids (to keep out of their crumbs).
The jars of mayo/miracle whip are all considered glutened. I only use squeeze mayo for any gluten-free cooking. The tubs of "I can't believe it's not butter" are either unmarked (for rest of family) or it has "Gluten Free ONLY" written on it (which, in that case, I'm the only one to use it).
Turns out the kitten chow does have wheat...so DS & I don't mess with her food anymore. As for the adult cat food, it was poured into the bin & we have no idea about it's gluten-state (so, DS washes his hands as soon as he's done filling up their dish).
My son & I *have* lived our lives for the past year-with the Celiac being a "mindful" thing, NOT Full in our mind. It's just that the fact DS still has antibodies a year on, it means he's been continually exposed to gluten. Not a good thing.
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic Is It Possible To Get Gluten From The Dishwasher?Actually, alcohol DOES denature the protein bonds in gluten.
MsMarginalized added a topic in Gluten-Free Recipes - Baking & Cooking TipsAfter You Cook gluten-freeAfterwards, you have to wash the dishes.
Now, when my DS & I were first diagnosed, the support group we were in encouraged me to get some dedicated cookware...so I bought a set of RED pots & pans. I thought that the glassware & glazed plates/bowls would be ok to share (I have to run a "mixed kitchen").
No one has ever been able to answer this question of mine: will I cross contaminate my cookware by having it washed it in the same dishwater as thing that were glutened?
Also, my stoneware isn't brand new so there are some scratches in it.
So, it's been more than a year since we were diagnosed & son STILL had ttg antibodies at his 1 year check up!
I'm so fed up with this (both him & I getting sick for no discernible reason) that I've gone ahead and purchased dedicated EVERYTHING for my gluten-free cooking. I've purchased everything in RED and have told DD (who does the dishes) NOT to wash our things...I do that separately in a brand new RED basin that I bought specifically for this. We store our things separately, also. I feel like maybe I'm going overboard until I remember the let-down feeling I had when I learned that DS STILL has the antibodies in his system!

I will pop in to that 101 thread & see what I can see.
NGCooties-Thank you for your reply,
MsMarginalized added a post in a topic Anyone Had Luck With Olive Garden?Before you send it back, throw on some katsup or scoop something else off of someone elses plate (ask their permission firs) and plop it on top. Tell the server that you CANNOT have this bowl because you CANNOT pick all the gluten off. The katsup/sauce from other plate should act as a marker that this is the original/glutened problem plate.
You can also cut meat in a strange way before sending it back if it got glutened. (I read both of these suggestions either on Elizabeth Hasselbecks website or in 1 of her books.)
MsMarginalized added a topic in Gluten-Free RestaurantsBj's Restaurant & BrewhouseThis restaurant is actually very close to my sons GI Dr's office. The 2 times we've gone in there have been disasters! And that's not even really about the gluten free we need.
The first time the service was just soooo bad. Was told it was our waitress' 1st day.
The next time (about 6 months later) I realized they only gave us the gluten-free menus...which don't have any prices on them...and are more of a food allergies than gluten-free menu. The service was again HORRIBLE (the waitress asked how us gals were doing--only my son & me sitting at the table!) and I was again told that it was our waitress' 1st day.
DS says he'll never go back there & I have to agree!

A woman, on meeting a psychologist at a party, made a pitch for some free professional advice. "What kind of toy would you suggest giving a little boy on his third birthday?" she asked.
"First I'd have to know more about the child," the psychologist hedged.
The woman took a deep breath. "He's very bright and quick-witted and exceptionally advanced for his age," she said. "He has good coordination, expresses himself very well..."
"Oh, I see," the psychologist said, "It's YOUR child!"

Top politicians lied about CIA aircraft
First a brief background. Ashmed Agiza and Mohammed Al-Zery were suspected of having leading positions in Al-Qaida. CIA and the Swedish Security Service (Säpo) both made this allegation. USA therefore put pressure on the Swedish government to deport the men to their native Egypt. This was done in December 2001 despite Swedish laws saying that no one can be deported to a country were they risk to face torture. The Egyptian government had given guarantees that they would get a fair trial and not face torture, something the Swedish government accepted.
CIA assisted in the deportation by picking them up with one of their airplanes at Bromma airport in west Stockholm. They then transported them to Egypt under very humiliating forms. According to human rights organizations they did face torture when they came to Egypt. Both of them were last summer granted SEK 3 million in damage from the Swedish state. Agiza was convicted to fifteen years in prison by an Egyptian military court while AL-Zery was released in 2003 without a trial.

An estimated 50 million Medicare insurance cards used by beneficiaries include printed Social Security numbers. The practice increases user vulnerability to identity theft and has been largely phased out by private insurers and federal agencies for security and privacy reasons. But the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services has been slow to develop an IT solution to mitigate this risk by removing SSNs as a unique identifier, according to a report from the Government Accountability Office.
The departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs phased out printed SSNs on almost 18 million cards between 2004 and 2011, switching to a system of storing the information on bar codes or magnetic strips. Both agencies continue to use SSNs as identifiers, but are looking to phase them out -- bar codes and magnetic strips are increasingly insecure because potential identity thieves have easy access to embedded information via smartphone applications.
Planning by CMS to convert health insurance claim numbers to a system excluding SSNs dates back to 2006. But, according to the GAO report, "the agency has not actively established and pursued a goal to identify an IT solution for doing so." The report suggests that CMS could solve the problem as part of an overall enterprise-wide IT modernization by its parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services. The overhaul, announced in 2010 and modified in 2013, includes plans to share information, consolidate some systems and reduce duplicative IT spending.
In reply comments, HHS agreed with the goal of removing SSNs from printed cards but said it can't move on the issue without cooperation from the Social Security Administration and the Railroad Retirement Board, which have data-sharing arrangements with Medicare. Jim Esquea, assistant secretary for legislation at HHS, wrote that funding is also an issue because upwards of 80 percent of the cost of an update would be non-IT expenditures. Esquea wrote that HHS agrees with GAOs recommendation, "assuming [cost] constraints can be addressed."
The GAO is pushing back, saying that HHS can begin an IT project to identify how the agency's systems would have to change to accommodate the removal of SSNs and fold the project into its planned IT overhaul under its current funding.

Winter manure spreading ban ending
The annual ban on manure spreading will be lifted Tuesday.
However, the extended snow cover this year will make it a challenge for farmers to begin spreading manure, according to the state Agency of Agriculture, which issued a news release on the situation Friday.
The annual ban is to avoid damaging water quality. With the ban about to be lifted, the agency says, manure must still be applied in a way that does not result in runoff of manure to surface water or across property boundaries. Once the snow begins to melt, manure can be carried away to the low points in the landscape.
By taking extra recommended steps while applying manure with snow still covering the ground, farmers can help minimize any runoff of manure that could occur during snow melt, the state says.

Protesters considered 3 weapons sites before choosing Y-12
Greg Boertje-Obed, the last of three Plowshares protesters to be released from jail, said Wednesday that the peace activists had been planning the break-in at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant for many months — using publicly available maps and other resource materials to help guide their efforts.
Despite the planning, he said, "We didn't really know where we were going. We knew we had to go up the ridge and down the ridge."
Boertje-Obed said he considered it "quite miraculous" after cutting through a boundary fence and crossing Pine Ridge that the three ended up in view of their actual target — the Highly Enriched Uranium Materials Facility — which they'd previously identified on a map of the sprawling installation. Even then, they weren't sure that was it, and they didn't actually get a positive ID until after they'd cut through three more high-security fences and walked to within a stone's throw of the fortresslike structure that holds the nation's stockpile of bomb-grade uranium.
In the most detailed interview to date about the July 28 event, Boertje-Obed said they initially considered three sites for an intrusion to draw attention to the U.S. weapons-making program, which they consider a criminal enterprise. Besides Y-12, the other possibilities were the Kansas City Plant in Missouri and Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico. Each site was in line for new and expensive facilities to be used in production of nuclear weapons.
The 57-year-old Boertje-Obed, the youngest of the three protesters, said Y-12 ultimately was chosen for a couple of reasons. In particular was the death of Sister Jackie Hudson, who was among a group of "resisters" arrested and jailed following a 2010 protest at the Oak Ridge plant. Hudson died last year before being sentenced for misdemeanor trespassing at the federal site.
According to Boertje-Obed, the three protesters — who collectively call themselves "Transform Now Plowshares" — began their entry into Y-12 around 2:30 a.m. July 28. He said they cut through a fence behind a church that borders federal property northwest of the plant. He declined to say if someone dropped them off at the site.
"We like to say the 'spirit' brought us there," he said in an interview before boarding a bus for Minnesota, where he'll reunite with his wife and daughter and await trial in U.S. District Court, scheduled for Feb. 26.
Sister Megan Rice, the 82-year-old nun who was arrested along with Boertje-Obed and Michael Walli, 63, has said on multiple occasions that it was "pretty easy" to enter Y-12 and reach the plant's high-security area, where protesters hung banners, painted slogans and poured blood on the uranium storage site.
Boertje-Obed disagreed. He said it was anything but easy, noting that it was difficult for Rice to walk up hills or go far without losing her breath. He said the ridge was heavily wooded, although the lack of undergrowth made the trek a little easier. The three carried flashlights to help maneuver through the dark woods, he said.
"Every step of the way, Megan was breathing hard," he said. "It was a struggle."
Once they crossed the ridge and descended toward the plant, Boertje-Obed said they watched a couple of patrol cars pass on Bear Creek Road — the main road leading into Y-12. After crossing the road, they had to cut through three high-security fences loaded with sensors and cameras.
Boertje-Obed said he did the cutting, while Rice was the first to enter. He said he was really surprised they were able to get through the middle fence, which had all sorts of tiny wires attached, without setting off alarms. He also said they were concerned fences would be electrified.
One of the symbols of the Plowshares movement is the hammer, and each of the protesters carried one. Boertje-Obed said he was carrying a small sledgehammer, while Rice and Walli had tiny, symbolic hammers.
After reaching the uranium storage facility, Boertje-Obed said he slammed his hammer into a cornerstone. He said the blows created a hole, and a piece of the wall crumbled. Rice did the same with her tiny hammer, but they did not continue because the purpose was symbolic, not to create as much damage as possible, he said.
Boertje-Obed said they realized they could have been shot and killed or otherwise injured, and he said they talked about that in advance.
"We realized for change to come about, peace activists need to risk their lives," he said. "Just like soldiers risk their lives for war."

- I have been a member of this group for awhile but didn't think I had enough information about my grandmother to seek help from the group. Recent posts and the tremendous response has inspired me to see what help I might find.
According to my grandmothers death certificate her birthdate is 12-18-1884. It lists Czechoslovakia as the place of birth. According to the Ellis island records she immigrated in 1909 and her place of residence then was listed as Kibbe, Hungary. I understand from a second cousin who traveled to Slovakia many years ago to investigate that my grandmother lived in Dvalo, located in the high Tatra mountains. Her maiden name was Vogel as the family knew it, (may have been Fogel) Father's name was Peter. I understand that her mother's maiden name was Klein (don't know if the spelling is correct).
I have been unable to locate a village by the name of Dvalo or Dualo. I'd be interested in any information anyone might have or any direction to investigate further. There are no family members left that could contribute information. I have tried to follow the guidelines given in other responses but seem to have hit a deadend.
Thank you for your time. Candi
