Fire a bullet from your gun without thinking, and you may find yourself overwhelmed, eaten alive by a horde of infected, attracted by the sound of the gunshot. Take too many punches, and you'll desperately search the environment, looking for anything that will heal you. For many gamers, this will sound like an absolute nightmare. For others (myself included), we've been looking for a return to classic survival horror. We want every bullet to matter, every encounter to be threatening, and we want to be scared, dammit.''

If you're looking for a convenient hotel then it won't work for you as the location is a 20 minute walk from beach and at least an hour away from any good restaurants for an evening meal, made it very difficult to plan a day and fit everything in. paid 6 euro for breakfast per person, this was a bread roll/croissant and some jam and they provided no plates. Staff were friendly and helpful and hotel facilities were okay. just location was a problem

Although this hotel was a good location if trying to access the beach and was also close to a supermarket, it was far from any nice restaurants to east in at night and was basically in the middle of a busy road, with little choice of where else to go. Very few people around meant there was little atmosphere.

The Communist and Muslim Axis of Evil Still Lives: Russia, China, Iran, North Korea…and MORE. I would also like to add Syria, Pakistan and Venezuela to this Axis of Evil as well. Hugo Chavez was a big help to Iran, Al Qaeda and Hezbollah with American oil dollars.
North Korean threats against the USA is an attempt by Communist and Muslim enemies of the USA to create fear and paranoia onto the American people. The enemy wants you to know that they are still alive and well after 10 years of war against their proxy Al Qaeda.
Russia and China are using these proxies to beat the American people into submission and surrender. The Democrats have been playing for both teams for quite a while. This is why Obama is allowed to make gains in the war on terror, because he is demolishing the American economy after 10 years of expensive wars that are not allowed to be won due to threats of WW III by Russia and China.
It still amazes me that many Americans haven't put this puzzle together yet. The complete puzzle says that this is a 'war against Capitalism' that is being waged by proxy forces of Russia, China and Iran that want to bankrupt he USA.
Terrorism via Iran and threats by North Korea is active psychological warfare against the American people. This is warfare 101; to weaken the will of the people and the economic strength to defeat the enemy prior to a larger conflict.
The ultimate goal here is submitting to a World Communist Government, but it will really be called a World Progressive Government so people aren't scared.
This World Progressive Government will be based on massive tax hikes on the USA to redistribute it's wealth around the globe. We will be told that there will be no more wars or poverty, but there will be tyranny and corruption instead.

I can see this happening, because I know how Leftists think….
A gay couple that belong to a church advise a pastor that they want to be married inside that church. The Pastor refuses and a law suit is filed for 'discrimination' and a 'Human Rights complaint' is filed with the United Nations.
Gays will claim that their right to 'pursuit of happiness, equality and freedom' is being denied by the churches.
The powerful wealthy forces behind this agenda will help fund this lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court, because the ultimate goal is to undermine the traditional family and organized religion.
Leftists are very clever. They changed the label from civil unions to marriage. Why? To sue churches and pastors when it is legal. They can't sue churches with civil unions, but they can sue when gay marriage is defined as legal.
Civil unions would be fine so gay couples can share benefits, but there is more to this. They want to force Pastors and churches to marry them. Britain is already threatening to sue churches when gay marriage is legal there. Britain doesn't have the same freedom of speech and religion protections that the US has. So, they are looking for a way around it.
Bill Clinton signed DOMA, the Defense of Marriage Act. So, why isn't he considered homophobic Now, Clinton wants DOMA overturned, because many believe that it denounces homosexual behavior.
The Dems tried to squeeze in hate crime legislation into bills years ago to silence pastors from speaking about gays. I suspect that there will be a human rights complaint filed with the UN next. This is not over..

Simple Question: Does Fascism Lead to Communism?
I believe that once Fascism fails the Government will have to bail out their puppet Corporations and take them completely over (Nationalize). It is a vicious cycle that spirals downward rather than upward.
I call it "break it and take it".
Leftists like to compare Conservatives to Nazi's, but Conservatives are pro-Israel and Leftists are anti-Israel. Who are the real Nazi's?
More on Fascism, Socialism and Communism:
Thomas Sowell
What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people — like themselves — need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat. – Click for the full article
Sheldon Richman:
Where socialism sought totalitarian control of a society's economic processes through direct state operation of the means of production, fascism sought that control indirectly, through domination of nominally private owners.
Where socialism nationalized property explicitly, fascism did so implicitly, by requiring owners to use their property in the "national interest"—that is, as the autocratic authority conceived it. (Nevertheless, a few industries were operated by the state.)
Where socialism abolished all market relations outright, fascism left the appearance of market relations while planning all economic activities.
Where socialism abolished money and prices, fascism controlled the monetary system and set all prices and wages politically.
In doing all this, fascism denatured the marketplace. Entrepreneurship was abolished. State ministries, rather than consumers, determined what was produced and under what conditions. – Click here for the full article
Me on the Jeff Kuhner show – April 2010
Jeff disagreed with my theory that Hitler would have eventually rolled the world over into Communism from Fascism, BUT he would have had to if it failed.
POWER and EGO can change the plan. A dictator could wake up one day and say "I don't want to share this power any longer, because I don't trust my puppets anymore".
That is when the puppets (and Useful Idiots) will be executed like Lenin, Hitler, Stalin and Mao did to their political enemies.

The Berlin Wall falling was clever communist deception for the West to lower its guard. Vladimir Putin is not exactly Mr Rogers and Russia is needed to escort American astronauts into space. So, explain to me exactly how the USA won the Cold War? The Republicans and Democrats both keep repeating that lie.
The Republicans crediting Reagan with the defeat of Communism are no different than the Democrats patting Obama on the back for the Bin Laden raid. It is just empty propaganda being used for political gain.
It is interesting that the Soviet Union supposedly collapsed in 1991 and 2 years later the World Trade Center was attacked by a new enemy, Al Qaeda. Coincidence? No, there is no such thing as coincidences with terrorism. This was a great way for the Communists to divert attention towards a new enemy, Islam rather than the Soviet Union.
Leftist could then cry racism if anyone there to criticize this new enemy that happens to have darker skin from the Middle East. Then, the politically correct left made up the name Islamophobia to shield this enemy from any criticism.
Muslim terrorism by proxy has been a very effective way to attack Israel and the United States. The ultimate goal is to destabilize the American economy and bring the collapse of capitalism.
Notice the World Trade Center was attacked twice and it is the economic center of the United States. It was the symbol of capitalism known world wide, but not anymore.
The term "Never forget" that is referenced to 9/11 is a lie, they want you to forget. They (Leftists) want the people to be ignorant about the real reasons behind 9/11… it was an attack against capitalism.
Obama and his comrades are plotting the same staged collapse the the Soviet Union did, but the soccer moms and reality TV show junkies will have NO CLUE.

Dictators don't fear petitions or protests. They fear guns and that is why disarming the people is a priority. – Steve Cooper
This article by the Free Beacon website claims that 20,000 Marines will be cut from the Armed Forces in the next few years. Leftists are working for the enemy by leaving the USA vulnerable to International and Domestic tyranny. This is Treason from within, but Bush will be blamed of course and the people won't have a clue….as usual.
I am not only talking about our Global enemies when I say dismantling the Military equals surrender. We are surrendering to their Domestic proxies or a 'Proxy Dictatorship". I do see Obama as a Proxy dictator that is working on behalf of Russia, China and Iran.
Don't be fooled by the coming 'staged feud' that the Russians and Obama will display for the world. It is deception, because they are very talented actors. Hillary Clinton was a perfect example of that last week along with her grand finale on 60 minutes with Obama. Media assisted, orchestrated for public consumption to cleanse the negative attacks against Hillary about the 9/11 Libya attack.
This story about 20,000 Marines being fired circulated several months ago, but I didn't post it on The Conservative Monster due to not trusting the sources. I trust the Free Beacon.
Why did Homeland Security label returning veterans as possible terrorist threats? ANSWER: Returning vets knew that the Democrats betrayed them during the war and they were NOW in power.
The goal of our enemies and the Democrats was to start these wars, handcuff the troops with Liberal rules of engagement once their 'boots' were on the ground and then get the media to blame the Republicans for it. It worked like a charm.
Obama doesn't need the Marines, because of several reasons:
How is Obama allowed to end these wars?
By proving his loyalty….to the enemy.
"The meaning of peace is ABSENCE to resistance to Socialism" – Karl Marx
The Iraq and Afghanistan wars were against Iran (and Pakistan) and they acted as a proxy for Russia and China. This is why WW III was mentioned whenever the threat got too real for Iran. The war was against Iran, but it never extended past their borders. The front lines were always in Iraq and Afghanistan.
George Bush's plan to surround Iran was in place since Iraq and Afghanistan are on the border of Iran, but the Democrats threatened to impeach Bush if he attacked Iran in 2006. The American people gave the majority to the Democrats in the Congress and Senate; this stupidity undermined the wars…and the troops.
I knew that we were in deep trouble when the Democrats got the majority in 2006 (before Obama was a household name). I kept warning people that a "Marxist Revolution was coming", but they had no idea what I was talking about. They understand NOW.
In 2007, US Troops were taking high casualties in Iraq, because Iran was sending everything they had to resist the US to prevent an attack on them next. I suspect that Bush told Russian President Putin that Iran will be attacked if they continue the bloodshed against US Troops.
Vladimir Putin flew to Iran and he had a meeting with Iranian President Ahmadinejad and the violence in Iraq against US Troops by Iranian proxies started to lessen several weeks after that meeting.
I am writing all of this from memory…and there is no record of this on the Internet that I know of.
The Democrats have a long history of trying to dismantle the US Military and the CIA. They are doing so on behalf of their Russian comrades since this has been the desire of the Kremlin since the end of WW II.

A tighter teen curfew is under discussion at Houston City Council and one thing is clear: no one agrees on the proposed restrictions. Councilmember Adrian Garcia authored the ordinance which would require all teens 16 and under to be home by 10 on weeknights and 11pm on weekends. He says data shows the majority of teen crimes occur between the hours of 10pm and midnight and enhancing the curfew could prevent crime.
"Part of the goal is here is to demonstrate to young people that if it's -- you know, it's bad to be out at a period of time that it is unsafe and being out at that time of night -- you know, maybe with the wrong crowd, could put you in the wrong circumstances at the wrong time."
But Garcia's colleagues on city council can't agree on the details of the curfew. Garcia hasn't released the details of his ordinance yet, so a lot of questions are floating around. Councilmember Michael Berry says you can't punish an entire segment of society for the bad behavior of a few teens.
"We don't allow people, in making public policy, to make those determinations because there are some people who will look at statistical analysis and paint races, religions, age groups, parts of town and everything else and we have decided as a society that that is inappropriate."
City Council will hold a public hearing on the curfew ordinance in two weeks. Councilmembers are calling for the complete details of the ordinance to be released before that hearing. Laurie Johnson HPR News.

This is an important property because the longer these nanoworms can stay in the bloodstream, the more chances they have to hit their targets, the tumors, said Ji-Ho Park, a UC San Diego graduate student in materials science and engineering working in Sailors laboratory.
Park was the motivating force behind the discovery when he found by accident that the gummy worm aggregates of nanoparticles stayed for hours in the bloodstream despite their relatively large size.
While its not clear yet to the researchers why, Park notes that the nanoworms flexibly moving, one dimensional structure may be one the reasons for its long life in the bloodstream.
The researchers are now working on developing ways to attach drugs to the nanoworms and chemically treating their exteriors with specific chemical zip codes, that will allow them to be delivered to specific tumors, organs and other sites in the body.
We are now using nanoworms to construct the next generation of smart tumor-targeting nanodevices, said Ruoslahti. We hope that these devices will improve the diagnostic imaging of cancer and allow pinpoint targeting of treatments into cancerous tumors.

Dr. Benz is amazing! It was hard for me to make the switch to a new GYN, but as my last doctor retired, I had to find someone I could feel comfortable with and trust for both myself and my daughter! Dr. Benz is just that person! She truly cares, spends a great amount of time with me, and NEVER leaves me in the exam room waiting. She goes above and beyond to help with any concerns I may have. She is a very thorough doctor and leaves no stone unturned. I honestly cannot say enough good about her!
Im very happy with my decision to search for a new gynecologist, Dr. Benz, I have struggled with changing due to my loyality and famillarity of twenty some odd years with my gynecologist. I may have never changed if it wasn't for me having a daughter, which I would like her experience over all with annual check ups to be comfortable as well with a female. My experience with Dr. Benz was everything anyone woman should experience and that's very important to feel comfortable, not nervous and relaxed. To beable to discuss personal maters. I felt just that and as if I already knew Dr. Benz. I knew that this was the right choice. So thank you for making this process easier for me. I know my daughter will second my opinion. Thank you!Sincerely Denise

I Want My Hat Back
written by Jon Klassen
Walker Books | ISBN 9781406338539
Paperback – 40 pages
Member's price: $15.26
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
This is a picture book debut by a rising talent that tells a cumulative tale with a cheeky twist, aided by graphically simple, and truly hilarious, illustrations. The bear's hat is gone, and he wants it back. Patiently and politely, he asks the animals he comes across, one by one, whether they have seen it. Each animal says no, some more elaborately than others. But just as it he begins to lose hope, lying flat on his back in despair, a deer comes by and asks a rather obvious question that suddenly sparks the bear's memory and renews his search with a vengeance. Told completely in dialogue, this quirky take on the classic repetitive tale plays out in sly illustrations laced with visual humour and winks at the reader with a wry irreverence that will have kids of all ages thrilled to be in on the joke. This title comes from an exciting new author/illustrator talent, previously an artist for Dreamworks Feature Animation. It features subversive humour sure to please children and adults. It is perfect as a read aloud.

"We hypothesize that the controlled production of H2S could have a profound impact on how this part of the ER stress pathway the PERK 'arm' is regulated. When proteins are misfolded in response to cellular stress, the inactivation and reactivation of PTP1B appears to be one means by which the cell regulates its protein synthesis machinery and can exert tight control over whether it lives or dies, ," says Tonks.
The linkage of such regulation with human disease is a subject that bears further exploration. ER stress is causally related to the protein-folding-related pathologies seen in such illnesses as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, Tonks says. "What we are trying to do is understand the structure of PTP1B in the presence and absence of its modification by H2S to define this modification in molecular detail and understand its importance to the control of this major signaling enzyme in normal and disease states."

As owners grapple with the new energy usage and disclosure requirements under AB 1103, parties to long term transactions must look to the date of the contract to determine whether they are required to comply.
Background and Applicability of AB 1103
AB 1103 is California's energy benchmarking and disclosure law, which requires owners of non-residential buildings to provide the "Data Verification Checklist" report to buyers, tenants, or lenders when the entire building is sold, financed or leased. The law became effective on January 1, 2014 for buildings over 10,000 square feet, and will apply to buildings over 5,000 square feet on July 1, 2014. The reporting requirement is mandatory and may not be waived by the parties.
Under the regulations, the building owner must disclose the "Data Verification Checklist" report for a commercial building to: (1) a prospective buyer of the building, no later than 24 hours prior to execution of the sales contract, (2) a prospective lessee of the entire building, no later than 24 hours prior to the execution of the lease, or (3) a prospective lender financing the entire building, no later than submittal of the loan application.
Assessing the Impact of AB 1103 on Long Term Transactions
Notwithstanding the various articles published on the subject, none have addressed a situation where a contract in question was executed sometime in 2013, but the closing of the underlying transaction is not expected to occur until 2014 or later. Are parties to such long term transactions required to comply? The answer lies in the date of the contract. According to the regulations and discussions with the California Energy Commission's ("Commission") compliance officer, the compliance date utilized to determine if an owner must comply with the statute is the date of the underlying purchase contract, lease, or loan application. Therefore, if a sale transaction commenced in 2013 (i.e. the sale contract was signed in 2013), but the closing will not take place until 2014, the date used to determine whether the owner must comply with the reporting requirements is 2013, the date of the contract. In the foregoing example, the owner would not be required to comply.
Key Tips to Comply with the Reporting Requirements under AB 1103
The generation of the "Data Verification Checklist" report involves the collection of certain energy usage data for the building from both the property owner and various utility companies, which take time to collect. As such, parties to a transaction are advised to start the process of preparing such a report 30 days prior to any qualifying transaction due to the fact that it can take that long for the utility companies to submit the required information to complete the energy use data. Owners are required to use the "Energy Star Portfolio Manager Tool" to prepare and submit the energy data through the Commission's website. Once the data is submitted using this tool, a report will be generated, which must then be sent by electronic file to the address provided on the Commission's website. The report is only valid for 30 days, at which time it will expire and a new report must be generated. In the event that actual energy data cannot be acquired (due to age of the building or inability of a utility), the owner is permitted to use a reasonable approximation to replace the missing data.

(AP)SAN FRANCISCO -- The third-inning double by Hunter Pence that broke open NLCS Game 7 was one of the rare double hits of a pitch that is allowable by rule.A super slow motion camera by Fox that shoots at 5,000 frames per second captured Pence hitting the ball twice: the first time when a pitch from Joe Kelly of St. Louis broke his bat around the handle and then, after the ball was propelled forward slightly, a second time with the barrel. The double hit confused St. Louis shortstop Pete Kozma, who initially broke to his right but watched the ball elude his grasp as it sailed to his left. Three runs scored on the play to put San Francisco ahead, 5-0.Rule 6.05 (h) states that a batter is ruled out and the play is ruled dead with no advancement by the runners when the batters hits a ball a second time in fair territory. But the rule does include a comment specifically to address the circumstance of a broken bat causing a double hit. It states, "if a bat breaks and part of it is in fair territory and is hit by a batted ball or part of it hits a runner or fielder, play shall continue and no interference called."The double-hit double is a rarity that is sure to find a place in San Francisco baseball lore. -- By Tom Verducci Promoted Stories Comments

DeSean Jackson likes Chip Kelly's crazy offense
The 2012 season proved to be arguably the worst in the five-year career of Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeSean Jackson. He spent much of the season in Andy Reid's doghouse as he watched Jeremy Maclin become the Eagles' top receiving threat. Jackson finished with career receiving lows of 45 receptions and 700 yards, which was not adequate production from someone who landed a 5 year, $51 million extension the previous offseason.
Now that Reid has been replaced by Chip Kelly, Jackson gets a clean slate with a new coaching staff. The offensive strategy is also undergoing massive renovations, as Kelly is teaching the Eagles his renowned up-tempo, no-huddle offense that brought great success to the Oregon Ducks program.
Jackson will be a perfect fit in Kelly's offense, a small, dynamic receiver capable of breaking big plays when he has the ball. After the team's first offseason practice Monday, Jackson told CSN Philadelphia's John Gonzalez that the new offense is a pleasant change of pace for the speedy receiver.
"People don't know what we're really going to be doing," Jackson said on Monday at the NovaCare Complex following the first OTA under Kelly. "There's no film. We'll be coming straight at you, full speed, fast."
Jackson is making a lot of adjustments to his game this offseason, but he thinks the flexibility that the system offers to all the wide receivers will be a benefit come game time.
"It's definitely tough," Jackson said. "Being myself, I didn't have to learn everybody's position. I only had to know one position, which is the Z wide receiver. Now I'm learning the X. The A. The Y. Really, just knowing the concepts of the offense.
"No communication with the quarterback," Jackson said. "We don't huddle up. The relay is from two coaches on the sideline. From there, if you don't know what you're doing, it's going to be tough. It's good to kind of know the whole system, the whole offense, and be prepared. Because on any given time, regardless of whether you're the X receiver or the Z receiver, if you're on the right or left side, it might be a different play called and you have to know what both receivers are doing because the play might be coming your way."
Chip Kelly has been making headlines left and right with all the unusual changes he's been making to the Eagles on and off the field. Perhaps the change will be enough to return DeSean Jackson to the star he was earlier in his career.

Select Certificate UI hidden behind IE7 window
When I use Beta21 (and some prior versions) with IE7 on WinXP SP2, the UI to select certificates from CAPI is hidden behind IE7 (in other words the Java UI does have the windows focus). Is this a known issue?
Hi pmcbride,
Could you please provide more information about how to reproduce this issue? Which UIs are you referring to? An online test case will be great if you can provide that also.
Roger Y.
Hi pmcbride,
The dialogs are native IE dialogs. Can you try to reproduce the issue in 6u5? Is this only reproducible in 6u10?
Roger Y.
While I agree that the window is kicked off as a result of native IE actions, the window that is created asking the user to select the appropriate certificate has a Java title bar and is shown in the task bar as Java.
Hi pmcbride,
Can you reproduce it with other releases besides 6u10?

I'm having this same problem. The user shows up as logged in according to the admin console, but the user only sees the "please wait" wheel in the middle of their browser window.

In Agoura Hills event, volunteers aim to make holidays brighter for those in need
Gene Kelly would be proud. About 200 volunteers were singing in the rain, dancing in the rain and, most importantly, filling bags with food for the needy Saturday morning in Agoura Hills.
It was all part of the 34th annual Santa Comes to Westlake/Agoura event in the parking lot of the Do it Center.
Judy Capiron from the Westlake Village Junior Women's Club said about 30 pallets of food had to be sorted after being donated at various markets and school drop-off points.
Twice as much food was given this year than last.
"The food goes to 190 local families in need that were referred by schools, organizations and personal referrals," Capiron said. "Some of the people here today will make the personal deliveries."
Sydney Garofolo endured the rain and cold to join the Agoura High School spirit team in a performance.
"Last year, I did this and I also delivered food," the 15-year-old said. "I remember at one house I went to, they were jumping up and down and the kids were so excited. It made me feel so good."
D.J. Cockrill, of Newbury Park, took food to five homes last year.
"It feels really good to know you're helping people who need food," the 14-year-old said.
Kyle Thomas, 17, of Calabasas, was carrying loads of food to bags across the parking lot. He has volunteered at the event since 2010.
"I think it's important for those of us who are more fortunate to give back and help families in need," Thomas said. "It's really unfortunate that there are people who are so in need of food. I've gone with the adults to deliver the food, and it's really nice to see the people get the food. It's a really great feeling. It means a lot to them to get what we can give them."
Faith Hughes, 10, of Agoura Hills, a member of Junior Girl Scout Troop 756, said it was hard to imagine people going hungry.
"I'm really happy to be able to help people who aren't as fortunate as us," Faith said. "I'm happy to bag this food for them."
Connor Burns was sorting food items onto the pallets to be put into the bags afterward.
"I came to help people in need and to help those who need something to eat," the 14-year-old said.
Recipients were to get bags of nonperishable foods — a vegetable, a canned protein, peanut butter, pasta, sauce for the pasta and beans.
But that's not all.
"Each person is getting a bag of toothpaste and toilet paper and assorted toiletries like a brush, soap and such things," said Toni Wolfson, a member of the Westlake Village Junior Women's Club.
The club has been in charge of the event for the past four years, since drive founder George Annino passed the baton.
"We took it and ran with it," Capiron said. "It rained last year, but not like this. "Still, people came today, and there's so much spirit here."

WASHINGTON, D.C. (Aug. 25, 2014) — Business schools nationwide have struggled to close the gender enrollment gap, but the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business has found success with new programming options and personalized attention for part-time MBA students in Washington, D.C. Overall, about 45 percent of the 160 students who started evening or weekend programs this month in the nation's capital are women — far above the industry average of 30 to 35 percent.
Hewlett-Packard already had made strides in diversity when Carly Fiorina, MBA '80, arrived as CEO in 1999. The Silicon Valley giant had progressive policies, feeder pools and employee networking groups in place. With the recruitment of Fiorina, HP also had the first woman leader of a Fortune 20 company.
Right after spring final exams, 10 undergraduate students at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business traveled to Sydney, Australia, with Mary Harms, a clinical associate professor of marketing. The program began with an intensive two-week global marketing course taught by Harms and culminated with eight-week internships at companies such as PwC, Chubb, Otis, Nielsen, 3M, and the Greater Western Sydney Giants.
In this issue of the Smith Report, Chavuanne Wills, MBA Candidate 2015, tells us about working as a summer associate at Deloitte Consulting in Washington, D.C.
Orientation leaders at the University of Maryland's Robert H. Smith School of Business know exactly what incoming full-time MBA students need. A committee of returning students led by Jen Long, Smith MBA Association vice president of student affairs, has played a major role in planning and delivering the two-week module that ends Aug. 23, 2014, with a Washington Nationals baseball outing.

Tom Coburn Wants a Gay-GOP Alliance. Seriously?
October 20, 2009
In their latest attempt to turn the tide against the public plan, some Republicans have begun trying to appeal to gay Americans to join their anti-government crusade. As The Hill notes today, Oklahoma Senator Tom Coburn has co-authored an op-ed blasting "government-run health care" for The Advocate, the leading LGBT magazine. Together with his co-author, GOProud's Christopher Barron, Coburn rails against the Ryan White CARE Act for forcing AIDS patients onto waiting lists to receive life-saving drugs from a government program.
Not A Defense Of Hank Paulson
August 10, 2009
I've stood up for Hank Paulson a few times these last several weeks, but this Times piece from yesterday strikes me as a real problem. As Tom Coburn would say, Paulson has some 'splainin' to do at the very least. Mr. Paulson's schedules from 2007 and 2008 show that he spoke with Mr. Blankfein, who was his successor as Goldman's chief, 26 times before receiving a waiver. On the morning of Sept. 16, 2008, the day the A.I.G. rescue was announced, Mr. Paulson's calendars show that he took a call from Mr. Blankfein at 9:40 a.m. Mr.

I've noticed the past few weeks, a lot of topics are going ignored and/or unanswered. I understand the moderators are volunteers and are not bind by contract to reply to every topic. However, it becomes very frustrating to "bump" a topic every few days or so (sometimes every few hours) and not one person can give some form of insight on the issue at hand.
Is it because we're going a recession or something? Am I missing something here? Correct me if I'm wrong because i would LOVE to know the reason for this.
Anyone knows of another WordPress Support site that people like myself who are having issues for weeks at a time can go to seek help, other than here?
In my opinion, being redirected to WordPress Codex, Google or getting ignored simply doesn't cut it. The last 5 topics I posted, were resolved by an outside source (who is not available to help me anymore).
PS - I'm quite sure people are going to reply with "Maybe it's because no one knows the answer." -_-

Big Wins for Medicine Mark 2015 Legislative Session
The 2015 Texas Legislature adjourned for good June 1. TMA's latest Legislative News Hotline video features TMA chief lobbyist Darren Whitehurst summarizing the session's outcome for organized medicine and patient care.
Important milestones for Texas physicians include:
Key to medicine's success, TMA leaders say, were the relationships physicians built in their hometowns with new and familiar faces in the legislature, bolstered by hundreds of doctors, medical students, and TMA Alliance members who lobbied and testified at the Capitol throughout the session.
For more on how medicine's bills fared this session, read Political Prognosis.

AMA Meeting Recap
Eight Texas young physicians representing TMA and their specialty societies attended the American Medical Association Annual Meeting in Chicago.
The TMA Young Physician Section (YPS) submitted two resolutions on maintenance of certification (MOC): one that would require alerting physicians to MOC deadlines and the other calling for reevaluating the cognitive expertise component of MOC. Both were positively received. A third TMA YPS resolution called for autonomy in utilization of continuing medical education (CME) funds by employed physicians.
The YPS actively supported resolutions relating to gun safety, e-cigarette regulation, increasing the age for tobacco sales, and the appropriate use of hormone therapy.
Become a Walk Leader; Get Your Patients Moving
It's summertime! Get involved in Walk With a Doc Texas, part of a national grassroots movement devoted to encouraging healthy physical activity. The program aims to reverse the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle and improve the health and well-being of our country. Walk With a Doc Texas is funded by a grant from the TMA Foundation, with generous support from the TMA Insurance Trust.

TMA White Paper Explains Inadequate Physician Networks
Inadequate and limited physician networks that insurers sell today are leaving patients with unpaid bills and making the news. Unfortunately, when Texas consumers most need coverage, especially in emergencies, they are discovering the limitations of the coverage they purchased.
TMA's white paper, "Putting the Pieces Together: Network Inadequacy and Unfair Discrimination in Insurance," explains how insurers limit their losses at the expense of the consumer. It also offers health policy solutions that will provide insurance consumers with the opportunity to buy the coverage they expect and demand.
Employed? TMA Has Resources for You
With more physicians becoming employed in a large group or hospital arrangement, it is important to understand the various compensation methods you might be offered in an employment contract.
TMA provides education and services to help employed physicians, including the publication, A Comprehensive Guide for Physician Employment. For additional resources, visit the TMA Employed Physicians Resource Center.
Save the Date: TMA Fall Conference Sept. 25-26
