Kaiser Health Tracking Poll: August 2015
With renewed discussion of the high cost of prescription drugs recently, the August Kaiser Health Tracking poll finds that most Americans feel that drug costs are unreasonable and that drug companies put profits before people. At the same time, the public largely values the role prescription drug companies play, with most saying that prescription drugs developed in the past two decades have made the lives of people in the U.S. better, including about 4 in 10 who say a lot better. When it comes to their views of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) this month, the American public remains divided in their opinion of the law. Those who favor repeal are divided on whether the law should be replaced with a Republican-sponsored alternative or if it should be repealed and not replacedPoll Finding Read More
How Many Employers Could be Affected by the Cadillac Plan Tax?
As fall approaches, we can expect to hear more about how employers are adapting their health plans for 2016 open enrollments. One topic likely to garner a good deal of attention is how the Affordable Care Act's high cost plan tax (HCPT), sometimes called the "Cadillac plan" tax or "Cadillac tax," is affecting employer decisions about their health benefits. The tax takes effect in 2018.
The potential of facing an HCPT assessment as soon as 2018 is encouraging employers to assess their current health benefits and consider cost reductions to avoid triggering the tax. Some employers announced that they made changes in 2014 in anticipation of the HCPT, and more are likely to do so as the implementation date gets closer.Issue Brief Read More

A Mystical Aura Over Georgia
By STEPHEN KINZER
Published: August 23, 1998
COOL mist from the nearby Caucasus Mountains enveloped the stately Sveti-tskhoveli Cathedral as a bus full of Orthodox monks pulled up in front one afternoon last spring. After stepping off, they formed a single file led by the local bishop. Bearded and clad in flowing robes, they walked slowly around the cathedral, their chants adding to the evocative spirituality that surrounds this place.
After completing their circuit, the monks entered the cathedral and greeted priests inside. As they offered a benediction beneath the frescoes and towering dome, three young nuns beside the altar began to sing in lilting harmony, sounding as if they could compete with any doo-wop combo in the world. A while later the monks filed out, stopping to kiss gold-framed icons of Georgian saints.
A mystic aura hangs over Sveti-tskhoveli, about 15 miles north of Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia, and over the many other churches and monasteries that dot Georgia's verdant countryside. During a 10-day trip there, I made a special effort to visit these sites.
Taken together, Georgia's famous religious buildings constitute a magnificent architectural and ecclesiastical heritage. Their ascetic facades, great domes, towering round spires, intricate relief sculptures and majestic interiors have made them a central part of the Georgian consciousness, contributing to a sense of nationhood that has held this land together through successive invasions and conquests. They teach a visitor much about the history of a country that is again emerging as a force in regional politics and hopes to become a tourist destination.
Georgia has not had an easy time of independence, which it declared in 1991 after the breakup of the Soviet Union. A nation of 4.5 million about the size of West Virginia, it has been shaken by civil conflict. Even today nearly one-fourth of its territory, including some famous Black Sea resorts, is controlled by separatist groups. These regions and places near them are out of bounds for most visitors, but much of the country is completely peaceful, thanks largely to the wise leadership of President Eduard A. Shevardnadze. The tourists who are beginning to arrive in small numbers are rediscovering Georgia's wonders: high mountains and vast expanses of meadows, unspoiled villages of warmly hospitable people and a remarkable architectural tradition that reached its peak in dozens of churches, cathedrals and monasteries where visitors are welcome.
The history of the Georgian Orthodox Church is full of legends as rich and amazing as its edifices. Touches of the secular and even the pagan are often close to the surface. One of the grand columns supporting Sveti-tskhoveli, for example, is ringed with carved grapevines, a vivid tribute to Georgia's age-old love of wine. On the eastern facade, which dates from the fifth century, two carved bulls' heads emerge boldly from the masonry, apparently reflecting pre-Christian beliefs. And on the northern facade is a carving of an arm and hand, with the fingers clutching a bevel. This is not a freemason's symbol, as it first appears, but a reference to an eerie tale from the 11th century, when much of the present cathedral was built.
According to the story, a renowned architect named Arsukidze was commissioned to rebuild the original fifth-century basilica. He succeeded triumphantly, creating what one historian has called a ''masterpiece of the early Georgian Renaissance.'' But a royal minister who had been Arsukidze's mentor was outraged that his pupil had so brilliantly surpassed him, and ordered his right hand severed as punishment. An inscription above the carving reads: ''This is the hand of Arsukidze, servant of God. Pray for him.''
That story is only one of many connected with this cathedral. Another is about Sidonia, a first-century convert to Christianity who is said to have died from the emotion that surged through her as she clutched Christ's robe. Sidonia's brother was said to have bought the robe from a Roman soldier, and in death she held it so tightly that it could not be pried from her grasp. She was buried with it beneath what is now the floor of Sveti-tskhoveli.
This story, according to Georgian theology, makes Sveti-tskhoveli the second most sacred place in the Christian world, following only the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem. To symbolize the tie between the two, a scale model of the Holy Sepulcher was built inside Sveti-tskhoveli 700 years ago. The gold that originally covered it was later stolen by Tamerlane, but the model, which is about the height of a man, remains full of intricate detail.
Like most foreigners who come to Georgia, I began my trip in Tbilisi, the capital. Only a few years ago Tbilisi was in ruins as rival factions fought for control, bringing the country to its knees and leading many to wonder if it could survive. Today the headquarters of one faction is a school, while another is being renovated and is to emerge next year as a luxury hotel. Buses run regularly and restaurants are opening.

"San Gimignano" San Gimignano by pigletsmom
San Gimignano Travel Guide: 407 reviews and 1,246 photos
Lots of people don't like San Gimignano because they feel it is too touristy, and I understand that, however the town has a wonderful vibrant energy that is great. The city has woderful examples of medievel architecture, great shopping and nice restaurants. Thursday is market day, which is very nice. The pottery shops and delis are really good. Arrive early in the day to avoid most of the tourists. I really enjoyed my visit and would most definately return. I had heard that some tourists refer to it as the Italian Disneyland, but I did not feel that at all. I really like this town.
- Pros:Lots to do and see. Best pizza in Italy. And lots of pottery shops.
- Cons:Too touristy for some people.
- In a nutshell:If you can get past the tourists, it's a lot of fun.

We are on our way for a Tuscany Tour to see San Gimignano. Thanks for the great tips we can use.
A very nice page of a "village" close to mine!! :-))
Italy is such a splendid country... and Siena is such a wonderful city !!!!
Love the back street photo! Thanks for the sneak peek into Italy. I will be going in September, and have enjoyed your comments and photos.
A lovely place, thanks for sharing
San Gimignano is also on my must see list for Tuscany. Sounds lovely.
Wonderful write-up about San Gimignano. we stayed overnight, and after the tourist leave, it is a magnificent place. It was a holiday and your "vibrant" describes it perfectly.
Great pics!
I definately want to stay here when I get the chance to revisit Tuscany. I've been told it's a great place to stay as the majority of tourist are only here for the day. The evening astmosphere is apparently very relaxed and friendly.
wanna taste the best pizza? go to Livorno to the Pizzeria Luna Rossa. it's made by napolitans and you get a meter of pizza to share with friends, just for 9bucks with drink.This pizza is THE PIZZA:)

des News - could we get daily updates on all Utes who play professional sports? Or would that require too many new writers compared to the few staff that can cover things for byU?

@ Ute Seniors.... There was an article 2 weeks ago about Keith McGill signing with the Raiders... If you use the comment activity as a gauge, not many people paid attention to it. If Utah fans want to make a case for more articles about Utah they should probably spend less time in the comment section on BYU articles and more time on Utah articles... Just an observation...

I think Deseret News would post more articles about professional Ute players, if there was more than 6 readers that actually cared.

The real question is-where will he go next? He ought to purchase his own moving van. It will probably pay for itself with the two additional moves before he is back coaching at the Y.

Chris, the articles you're looking for are over on the far less read MUSS
blogs. Since you have your radar tuned exclusively to anything anti-BYU/Mormon
you'd be hard pressed to find much of what you're asking for.
It's simple supply and demand and there just isn't much demand for
articles on Utes in professional sports apparently.
Evidently you still enjoy reading the articles about Jimmer though - you're always first to comment on every single one of them.

Missouri makes a very good point. I've noticed that Ute fans seemingly
spend more time reading BYU articles than they do on Utah articles since they
make so many more comments there. Not only that, but they are usually the first
ones there to comment. The fact that you, Chris (or should I call your 2013 Ute
moniker?), are the first once again to comment on this BYU related article,
proves my point.
Papers are like any other business. They just try to give what the customers want. And it's obvious readers want more about BYU. There are usually multiple times more comments on BYU articles than on Utah articles... whether for love or hate. Regardless, the interest is there and it's genuine.
If you and your buddies quit commenting so much on BYU articles, then maybe your request for relatively more Ute articles will carry more weight. Just a thought.

I feel bad for John Beck. He has a ton of talent but never got to show what he
could do because he never had a decent supporting cast around him: Miami,
Redskins or....he was buried on the depth chart (Ravens, Texans).
Seems to me that making it big in the NFL is part skill and part luck of the draw.
Go John!

In recent years, control system reliability has received much attention with increase of situations where computer-controlled systems such as robot control systems are used. In order to improve reliability, control systems need to have abilities to detect a fault (fault detection) and to maintain the stability and the control performance (fault tolerance). In this paper, we address the vibration suppression control of a one-link flexible arm robot. Vibration suppression is realized by an additional feedback of a strain gauge sensor attached to the arm besides motor position. However, a sensor fault (e.g., disconnection) may degrade the control performance and make the control system unstable at its worst. In this paper, we propose a fault-tolerant control system for strain gauge sensor fault. The proposed control system estimates a strain gauge sensor signal based on the reaction force observer and detects the fault by monitoring the estimation error. After fault detection, the proposed control system exchanges the faulty sensor signal for the estimated one and switches to a fault-mode controller so as to maintain the stability and the control performance. We apply the proposed control system to the vibration suppression control system of a one-link flexible arm robot and confirm the effectiveness of the proposed control system by some experiments.

Released: Apr 01st, 2004
Running Time: 140
Director: T T Boy
Company: Evasive Angles Entertainment
Cast: Max Black, Vera Rafael, Dida, Barbara (I), Talita (I), Mark Anthony (I), Tabitha (I), Darren James, Franco Roccaforte, Angel (I), Tashana Kelly, Ariana (I)
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Strictly for fans of jelly-assed brown chicks taking big black dicks.
T. T. Boy takes three black guys (each an Evasive Angles contract player) to Brazil. They meet up with madcap, black, Eurostud Franco Roccaforte and eight pretty local girls for an anal fuckfest.
There are great brown asses that seem in constant samba action before - and even while - they get fucked. The girls are all pretty and compliant but kind of blank, and the well-lit scenes are pretty much interchangeable.
Every scene has anal sex. Here's the breakdown: Ariana teases the homies, but only James fucks her. Two chicks threeway with Franco.
Tashana does it with Darren and Max. Her ass just won't start moving. A good double penetration and a double oral cumshot.
Anthony gets a double blowjob, double buttfuck, double facial. Max fucks Tabitha, who has big beautiful naturals, all by himself. Dida, 18 and very pretty, gets crammed by Franco.

This is a brilliant product for my growing bump. It keeps my stomach well moisturised and doesn't have a nasty smell.
This is my favourite baby bump moisturising product! I have tried a few others which are a bit greasy or have a strong smell to them which has put me off them but this one is perfect. It's lovely and thick, but absorbs really well once you have massaged it into your stomach. It doesn't have much fragrance, which is perfect for me. I know stretch marks are more genetic / lifestyle orientated, but so far at nearly 22 weeks I'm doing ok on that front (fingers crossed.) My skin is never dry or itchy, it's my favourite pregnancy product so far besides my maternity skinny jeans!!
Évaluation du service : Je suis très satisfaite de ma commande et du délais de livraisonProduit : Très bon produit
Always great service
However the smell is not really pleasant
Would love a little more perfume.
Love this cream. Very easily absorbed and smells good too!
A very speedy delivery and product were exactly how described. Such a lovely pressie for a mum to be! Thank you!
Excellent product, natural and cruelty free
Item is for a friend, this is the second one iv bought her so i think she likes it!
Came quite quickly
love it

Hello, I have just received an Xbox that apparently has Xtreme 3.0 firmware. After looking around a bit ive come to assume this means the Dvd drive itself has been modified (I think...). As far as I can see the xbox has a standard dashboard, so my question was am I able to update to newer firmware and is there any advantages of doing that?
Also I have just acquired a backup of Halo Anniversary and noticed the game is slightly larger then 8.5BG this being the case, how should I burn it to DVD DL?
One more thing, is there any firmware updates that would allow me to boot ISOs from usb?
Thanks alot.

Happy thanks to communal bliss
Go to a Beltline study group, and Angel Poventud sits alongside other residents, soaking up details about the 22-mile loop of park, trails and transit. Attend a monthly rally organized by Atlantans Together Against Crime, and the 37-year-old Midtown resident holds signs to bring attention to the rise in break-ins, muggings and assaults across the city. Drive past the intersection of Buford Highway and Jimmy Carter Boulevard, and his mug beams from a billboard advertising the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign.
Hell, eat a veggie burger at Engine 11 on North Avenue and Poventud rolls by. On rollerblades. He might even be wearing his trademark green dress. Angel Poventud is everywhere — and he's always smiling.
"It's my community," the Miami native says. "I'm a ham, I'll admit it. But if I'm not engaged in the people around me, I get disinterested."
After being laid off two months ago by shipping company CSX, Poventud, a railroad conductor, decided to make even more out of his free time.
"My personal motto is, 'No one can pay you what your free time is worth,'" Poventud says. "When you find yourself with free time, try to embrace it and not be afraid of it."
It's that attitude that makes Poventud one of the most well-adjusted and productive guys we know.
"Honestly, it was a bit of a relief," Poventud says of his job loss. "This is my fourth time being laid off in my life. That first time I was pretty panicky: 'Oh my God, I have to get a job, be productive, and do my part.' But I learned the second or third time that, yes, I need to find a job, but I also need to take great advantage of this time off. It's very rare in our American culture where we don't have weeks of time where we don't have a responsibility to something."
Poventud volunteers 10 to 20 hours each week for ATAC, the Atlanta Bicycle Campaign, Trees Atlanta, Beltline study groups and three Midtown Neighborhood Association committees. Once a month, the historic preservation buff joins hundreds of cyclists for the free-form bicycle tour Critical Mass. Nearly every day, he skates through Piedmont Park. Poventud, who's gay, also partakes in camping trips with outdoors enthusiasts the Radical Fairies.
Thanks to a railroad employee unemployment insurance fund, he's been able to collect enough cash to cover his rent and utility bills. His spending money comes from a low-interest credit card.
"If the economy turns around, I get my job back, and I pay off my debt," Poventud says.
And if it doesn't turn around soon? Well, it will … eventually. And at least we'll all be in this mess together.
"My grandmother lived to be 100," he says. "So that's the timeline I think about. What's happening right now is stressful. But it'll correct itself one way or another."
Two weeks ago, Poventud got good news. The railroad company needed him back on the job. Come June, he'll be riding the rails again — in between blazing across town and volunteering.

Happy about home prices
If someone had to get stuck with the cloud, Leah Calvert's happy she at least ended up with its silver lining.
The pixieish bluegrass musician spent the past few months house shopping in the Southwest Atlanta neighborhoods where she grew up, without much luck finding anything in her modest price range. When she did come across a deal, she'd get shut out by real estate investors who'd swoop in with a higher bid.
The 29-year-old Calvert, who graduated from the University of Georgia in 2002, has worked on and off in accounting and office management and dedicated her spare time to earning her MBA at Georgia State University. In the past couple of years, she's been able to follow her dream of being a full-time musician, as fiddler and singer for the Dappled Grays, a five-piece outfit that tours the regional bluegrass circuit and plays a steady schedule of corporate gigs and private parties.
Last month, Calvert finally closed on a 1,800-square-foot, three-bedroom bungalow with a decent-sized yard in Sylvan Hills. The price: a crazily low $57,000.
The house last sold a decade ago for $145,000. It's a foreclosure property, which was certainly bad news for somebody … but not Calvert.
"There is a sad side to the story, but there hasn't been a day yet I haven't been surprised that I got such a great deal," she says.
Calvert hasn't moved in yet. She still has a few weeks to go on her current lease, so she's used the time to make minor renovations and landscaping improvements. But she's looking forward to settling into a new home that, under normal circumstances, she never could have afforded.

Dear Bush Beat: 'Bush is Better Than You'
At what?
Mike writes:
Subject: Bush is better than you
You might have a shred of credibility if, just once, somewhere, sometime, you condemned the true mass-murderers of history with the same conviction you condemn our good President and our great country.
In the 20th century alone, the power of government was used by Stalin, Hitler, [Kim Il] Sung, Castro, Ho Chi Minh, Pol Pot, and Saddam, among many others, to murder about 150 million innocent people. Today, terrorists like Zarquawi seek to gain that power in order to murder even more.
The United States, as imperfect as it is, is the country that has done the most of any country in history to stop the tyrants and promote freedom. Your blind hatred of a good man who is doing a good job of protecting us is shameful. Your irrational, emotional, and petty tirades reveal your absolute ignorance of the truth.
Thanks for writing, Mike. You have a right to go nuclear on me, the way Harry Truman did in 1945 to those civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I have to say, however, that your irrational, emotional, and petty tirades reveal your absolute ignorance of the truth. But thanks for writing.

If the Chautalas can't go to their partymen, the partymen can come to them. As Om Prakash Chautala and his son Ajay, convicts in the Junior Basic Training (JBT) teachers' scam, remain confined to their hospital beds in Gurgaon's Medanta Hospital, leaders of the INLD and other parties have been dropping by. The first for "advice" on the coming elections, the second for apparently casual visits.

The count for Chautala Senior alone is close to a hundred visitors since he was granted bail for six weeks in May for undergoing heart surgery. Ajay was given bail for four weeks on August 12 also for cardiac problems.

While allowing them bail, the Delhi High Court bench of Justice Siddharth Mridul had, in two separate orders, told them not to leave the National Capital Region without permission. They were told to deposit their passports so that they wouldn't leave the country.
The court said nothing about people meeting the two, though. And on an average, they get 30-40 visitors daily, most of them partymen and staunch followers.
"Whatever strategies are adopted by the party, those are first discussed with Chaudhary Om Prakash Chautala, since he is our party chief. There is no bar on us to do that. We keep meeting him regularly to discuss all future campaigns. We have already discussed the strategy and issues for the Haryana Vidhan Sabha session scheduled for September 6," INLD state president Ashok Arora said.

TRENTON - New Jersey utility regulators dealt a setback Friday to a proposed wind farm off the beaches of Atlantic City, saying they were not satisfied that the project's economic benefits would outweigh the added cost of wind energy.
The Board of Public Utilities voted unanimously to accept a staff finding that the project's costs would not be offset by environmental benefits along with added jobs and investment in the region.
"Projects need to show additional jobs to offset the added cost" of wind energy, BPU chairman Robert Hanna said.
The Fishermen's Energy Atlantic City wind farm, the first offshore energy project to be considered by the BPU, would comprise five wind turbines positioned nearly three miles off Atlantic City. It would generate 25 megawatts of electricity, enough to power 20,000 customers.

Theater Implied Violence on the Death of Pike/Pine
posted by November 13 at 10:52 AMon
It's not official yet, but the good folks at Implied Violence have sent us advance word of a new "huge and extremely guerilla" show called the status of the name you miss, love, and search for has now become ambigious and remote.
It will begin at "promptly at 1:30 am" on December first on the roof of a building near the soon-to-be-demolished Kincora/Pony/Bus Stop block:
There will be 333 free tickets that will get you into the building and 66 tickets costing 10 bells that will allow you on the roof.
I think it will be a really cool really beautiful event, considering most of the people participating were/are still actual residents of the building.
Implied Violence, which claims Gertrude Stein and Wu Tang Clan as its primary influences, makes spectacular work. They're threatening to move to Berlin sometime in the near future, so your chances to see them are dwindling.
Some photos from their recent performance in the barns and fields at Smoke Farm:
Getting the 66 rooftop tickets will be a slightly cloak and dagger affair that involves going to a certain crepe stand at a certain time on a certain dayIV says it's "trying to avoid the problems of the Bridge Motel"but more about that when the show is official.

More Information
Claims chief leads tense, angry meeting in Houma
Published: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 11:07 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 1:55 p.m.
HOUMA — The Gulf oil-spill claims chief apologized before more than 500 people Monday for delays in processing checks during a sometimes-raucous meeting attended by fishermen and other business people.
Ken Feinberg, administrator of the $20 billion fund being used to pay claimants for damages from the April 20 explosion of the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, also told the crowd he may rescind a decision to dock fishermen's claims for money they earned cleaning up the spill for oil giant BP.
"In light of a good deal of criticism from this group and others, I am considering the deduction of the Vessel of Opportunity payments," Feinberg said, drawing a round of applause.
At a meeting with reporters after the event, Feinberg said about 1,000 claims appear to be fraudulent on their face or seriously lacking credibility, and will not be paid at all.
But 12,000 claims, he said, are documented and awaiting evaluation.
"That is about 12,000 that appear to be eligible and appear to be well-documented," Feinberg said.
Data supplied by the fund Feinberg oversees show 14,618 claims have been submitted from Louisiana. Of those, 3,580 have been paid, nearly $43.8 million combined.
Of 55,364 claims submitted overall, 12,666 have been paid, totaling about $102.6 million.
Last month, Feinberg told a larger crowd — while speaking from the same stage at the Houma-Terrebonne Civic Center — that checks for qualified individual claimants would go out within 48 hours of filing and within a week for businesses that filed.
While he noted that many claims have been successfully paid, he acknowledged that many more have not.
"It is my responsibility to get these to you," Feinberg said. "I will do my best; it is all I can do. ... I have said from the beginning that the test of this program is when the check gets in the mail. All these emergency payments will go out, I hope, within the next 30 days."
That drew a groan from the crowd, but Feinberg, appearing unfazed, continued his presentation and invited questions from the floor.
Some complained about the amounts of their emergency checks. One woman said she had only received $600 when in her opinion the payment should have been much higher.
Fisherman Tate Cantrelle, 44, of Cut Off, called Feinberg a liar for making promises that were not kept.
Cantrelle filed a claim that included proof he made $28,000 last year. There were some emergency payments when the Deepwater Horizon emergency claims were handled by BP. When Feinberg's Gulf Coast Claims Facility took over last month, Cantrelle, as instructed, made an additional claim for assistance, expecting $20,000. He received $1,800.
"What are you going to do with $1,800?" said Cantrelle, who won't fish right now because low prices, he said, making it a losing proposition.
"Not too many people want to buy right now," he said. "How can he sleep at night, screwing all the people over like he's screwing them over."
Feinberg kept his composure during a number of personally-directed verbal attacks, and in a number of cases asked claimants to make sure he had their claim numbers.
Then some challenged how he would have enough to time to review all the disputed claims people had come to discuss.
More than a dozen claims examiners were on hand at the Civic Center to discuss claims matters.
During Feinberg's last Houma visit fishermen presented evidence in the form of letters from attorneys that said BP promised not to dock claimants who had worked to clean up the spill.
At the conclusion of his hour-long presentation, Feinberg stressed he is sincere about trying to meet people's needs through his program.
"We are trying to accelerate these payments as best as we can," he said. "I am looking for ways, I am still looking for ways to accelerate the payments and make them more generous and get the payments out faster. That is all I can tell you guys."
After the meeting Feinberg said he understands the criticism and the angry words directed toward him.
"These are people who want answers and are entitled to answers," Feinberg said. "That type of criticism goes with the territory. We have paid out, in three weeks, $150 million. Those who are satisfied with those claims do not come to express their gratitude or their support, but I understand the frustration."

The large amount of the frame memory access and the die area occupied by the embedded internal buffer are the most critical issues for the implementation of the two-dimensional discrete wavelet transform (2D DWT). The former may consume the most power and waste the system memory bandwidth. The latter may enlarge the chip size and also consume much power. We categorize and analyze the 2D DWT architectures by different external memory scan methods. Then the overlapped stripe-based scan method is proposed to provide an efficient and flexible implementation for 2D DWT. The implementation issues of the internal buffer are also discussed, including the lifting-based and convolution-based. Some real-life experiments are given to show that the performance of area and power for the internal buffer is highly related to memory technology and working frequency, instead of the required memory bits only.

City Bodies: the Exploitation?
posted by October 16 at 13:14 PMon
The directors of the Seattle Museum of the Mysteries ("a paranormal science museum with exhibits, library, and cultural center exploring legends, lore, UFO history, bigfoot, ghosts… ") have been complaining, in long email missives, about Bodies: the Exhibition, presented by Premier Exhibitions.
That the cadavers haven't consented. That their originsin a big Chinese hospitalare suspect. That the glass cases they are in might leak and cause health problems. Et cetera. (And yes, it is a little bit funny that MotM, which hosts ghost tours, is getting exercised about Premier's "exploitation of the dead," but there is a difference.)
Now they've up and done something about it by filing a federal complain against Premier. The long email missive describing the move follows the jump. An excerpt:
A Minute Order issued by [U.S. District Court] Judge John C. Coughenour did not approve a request for an emergency injunction to stop the exhibit is the movant did not demonstrated "immediate and irreparable harm" but the doctors were informed the complaint will be forwarded to a magistrate and is on permanent file with the courts.
It seems improbable to me that the bodies are murdered Falun Gong membersif I were running a totalitarian state that practiced political assassination, I would do anything with my victims before I would hand them over to doctors from other countries for examination and display. Nevertheless, cheers to the Museum of the Mysteries for keeping the pressure on. There's no evidence that Premier obtained these bodies illegally or unethicallybut then, they haven't provided any evidence to the contrary.
Press Release
For Immediate Release
Federal Complaint regarding Seattle Cadaver Exhibit filed against Premier Exhibitions.
The Directors of the Seattle Museum of the Mysteries, Charlette LeFevre and Philip Lipson have filed a federal complaint Case No. 06-1490 in U.S. District Court Western District of Washington at Seattle on Oct. 13, 2006 against Premiere Exhibitions of Atlanta, Georgia regarding their exhibit of unconsenting cadavers. The complaint is based on the issue that the exhibitors do not have consent papers and the museum Directors feel the exhibitors are violating the U.S. Anatomical Gift Act which explicitly prohibits the sale of human tissue. The complaint cited a statement by Dr. Lynn Romrell Ph.D. Executive Director of the Anatomical Board of the State of Florida in which he states the board rejected the same exhibit last year based on no consent papers were obtained from the deceased and the city of San Francisco's ordinance prohibiting the display of human remains without authorization or consent after a similar type of exhibit was shown in San Francisco last year and enraged the Chinese community.
The Directors also stated they feel Premier Exhibitions is misleading the public by not stating in their advertisement the bodies are all unconsenting Chinese cadavers. The Directors believe visitors have the right to know the facts to decide for themselves as they believe the public would think twice about purchasing a ticket in which they would be viewing unconsenting bodies and furthering this type of trade of human body parts. Premier Exhibitions is a for profit company and is not a medical or educational institution.
The Directors assert that no U.S. physician has endorsed this exhibit. Dr. Roy Glover who is listed as ³Chief Medical Advisor² for ³Bodies: The Exhibition² is a retired professor of Anatomy from the Univ. of Michigan and is not a physician.
The complaint requested an emergency injunction to close the exhibit ³until as such time as consent documents are produced for the cadavers as well as the identity of each cadaver for review by any medical institution and requesting parties and verified.² Also a stoppage of all advertisements showing cadavers and to initiate a full inquiry into the legality of this exhibit. A Minute Order issued by Judge John C. Coughenour did not approve a request for an emergency injunction to stop the exhibit as the movant did not demonstrate ³immediate and irreparable harm² but the directors were informed the complaint will be forwarded to a magistrate and is on permanent file with the courts. Charlette LeFevre states she did not file the complaint on her behalf but rather the 21 cadavers now on display . As the cadaver¹s identities are not known and requests for documents verifying their identities have been denied, it is impossible at this time to assess the harm and damage to themselves or their families. But given their country of origin - China and their customs of burying the body whole or they spiritually believe their souls will wander the earth it is reasonable to believe these Chinese cadavers would not have wanted to have been displayed to the public and this would be hugely offensive to the families of the deceased.
The Directors of the Museum believe a formal complaint will encourage other institutions and persons to responsibly review this exhibit and speak out on their position regarding the cadaver exhibit . The Directors encourage anyone who has already seen the show and if they were not informed of the lack of consent of the cadavers in the exhibit¹s advertisement and felt they were misled, to ask for a refund.

This sounds pretty neat!
Good luck on finishing this.
I see you alot though the chart of Indie, please don't say you're 5 rating your songs to keep notice on you. I really don't hope so, because that's really disrespectful for other artists.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Well I have no idea what guitarstep is, either... but it definitely does not sound like a good thing.
Also I made an account to tell you to keep it up; this shit is great.
Yeah, anything with "step" in it sounds like a lame fad. Rest assured that I don't know what the fuck that shit is.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Similar to Guitarstep, and that's a good thing.
Looking forward to this.

Great prouduct, it keeps you dry and the UV light helps alot. The vent in the back keeps it cool, it is light ,small, and easy to carry, easy to set up and has easy instructions. It was a great size fit me and my gear, you could fit two people but only if you like eachother.
This is a great little tent. Its perfect for backpacking or for single person camping. Doesn't really fit 2 people comfortably, unless the second person is a child. I only have 1 complaint. The tent pegs bend easily in tougher ground. I had to purchase better pegs. Other than that its great.
This tent is good for one person and a small amount of gear. Two people COULD sleep in it without gear, but it would be tight. Most of the issues I had are minor. Poor ventilation caused condensation buildup. The tent has a small vent at the foot and that's it. Leaving the door open a bit at the top will overcome this. Set it up tight or the walls will flap around in the wind resulting in zero sleep. The floor of the tent could be somewhat tougher for setup on hard surfaces, but will suffice on grass or sand. However this would add more weight. Most important to me is that this tent shed off all the rain that came our way. Overall it's still a nice tent albeit a tad flimsy.
I was extremely pleased with this tent despite my initial thoughts. It kept me dry during an unexpected rain storm without an extra tarp; it kept me warm when closed but allowed a nice breeze them only screen was zipped; it fit 2 people (1 male, 1 female) very comfortably; it was light weight, and it actually fit back into its bag very easily (didn't have to fold perfectly, etc). This was a perfect size tent for backpacking or even normal camping, much quicker to pitch and unpitch then any other tents I have com across. Really actually loved it - I will not be returning it!
I had difficulty even getting into this tent. No rainfly. NO VENTILATION!!!
We did receive the tent quickly, but that is the best that can be said for it. If I could give it a lower score I would. When we tried to set it up one side was longer than the other by about 3-4 inches. The poles would not work due to the length difference. One side was fine but the other was 3-4 inches too long. I returned it the next day. Don't waste your money or your time.
Used this on a biking trip. Was easy to set up, took maybe 10 minutes. The rope support in the front makes it uncomfortable to enter, and the ventilation causes it to get stuffy inside. Otherwise, this tent hit it out of the ballpark for me.
the camping tent i purchased online from walmart was easy it was a gift for my nephew and he loves it.
I was very disappointed in this product, I returned it to the store

Hello everybody!
So here's a little Schnitzel history: I began and published this story in early 2011 and worked on it until late 2012. However, late 2012 is when I began college, and after college began, this story was somewhat abandoned even though I had planned for so many hours and was so near the end…
Recently, I finished this story. I had to. I only needed just under 5,000 words to wrap it up. It's surreal, having a complete first draft (about 83,000 words). This story/document/thing here on Fictionpress, used to have almost everything, but I've deleted all the chapters and am starting anew. So what you'll see, hopefully steadily updated, are edited chapters, similar to the originals, some very close, but edited and polished for your reading pleasure. And they also have an ending.
Let me know what you think, about my decision, about the story, about everything, and have fun reading! And of course, I have the original parts that were previously uploaded here, so if you ever have a hankering to read those, too, just give me a holler.
Much love,
The library has always made me feel comfortable. Sure, the chairs are a little stiff and distastefully colored (white and green, what?). And sure, the librarian shoots me unwarranted looks full of threat and hatred whenever I pass by even when I don't have a book overdue (it's that I dared to take any out at all that displeases her). But it's a place where I can feel safe.
Where I can relax.
I typically sit in the very corner of the room, next to the guides on how to dissect books that you won't ever read unless you're getting your PhD in some obscure subsection of Literature. Fortunately, this is a high school, so rarely does a human pass by while I sit here. It has probably been years since a human has even breathed near these books.
On that thought, I turn around. Am I correct?
A crinkled forest-green book-cover slips off its owner, perhaps giving itself another couple of years until it completely admits defeat.
I am correct.
At the moment, it is clearly discernible as German. I can make out an und in gold lettering. Sufficient enough evidence.
If I cared about or even knew a small amount of German (aside from und), I would investigate the poor abandoned soul. But I don't. So I turn back around.
And there, at the desk where the lady with the narrowed eyes and dusty hair scrutinizes all who pass, a young man with daffodil hair and a smattering of freckles carefully inscribes his name onto the sign-in sheet. When he looks up, his gaze roams the room, cataloguing each table, each bookshelf, each stain on the rug, so it seems. So I like to think.
It's what I did when I first got here. I love libraries. I like to imagine everybody else loves them too even if it isn't so.
The librarian leans over her desk and says something somebody on the complete other side of the room is unable to hear. It is a blessing and a curse, my secluded little table.
The young man with the daffodil hair looks dead into my eyes, nods, and approaches my table. This is a shock. Okay. Um. Clean table (my less-of-a-curse-more-of-a-blessing table), task #1.
There is nothing to clean. I haven't unpacked yet. I just got here.
Task #2: Ruffle hair for volume.
I raise my hand to my head, but he's already over here, but a couple of steps away, about to say something, and here I am with my hand in my hair like a fool, pretending to be Fabio when I'm actually, well, much better-looking than Fabio.
Fake it until you make it, Aleksi. You can do this.
"Hello," daffodil-head says.
Well. That is one hell of an accent. I lean onto my hand and listen more closely. This will be fun.
"Ah, I have been told, um, only two students are allowed to a table, yes?"
I grin like an idiot. This is insider information and I'm privy to it. I feel an inappropriate surge of power. "Yes."
"Ah, okay, thank you," he says, promptly throwing his things onto my table (his table too now, I guess, er) and sliding into the chair across from me. "My name is Kaspar."
I stare at him. Should I shake his head? But this is high school. We don't shake hands here.
He reaches out his hand. I take it. Maybe we do shake hands here, what do I know?
"I'm Aleksi."
And it was then that I made my acquaintance with daffodil-head.
"Where are you from?" I ask.
He smiles brightly. It's adorable. "I am from Germany."
So that's where the funny accent is from. Kaspar. From Germany.
Correction: It was then that I made my acquaintance with Schnitzel. The daffodil-head.
Schnitzel takes it upon himself to sit with me every day. I less than do not mind, I am ecstatic, but it would be remiss of me to admit that so I put on a horribly grumpy face whenever he approaches. If he knows that I enjoy his company and think he's beautiful he may run away because I'm a nerd petrified of rejection.
"Excuse me," he says, peering very blatantly at my book as if simply sitting across from me wouldn't be clue enough that he could read the title of it. "Is that an English grammar book?"
It is. I'm a dork. He's caught me. Excuse me while I hide forever, good-bye.
I wish I could be as articulate as you, Aleksi. Oh, wait, I am you, and you're not articulate at all.
Stop making snide comments to yourself. You don't process thoughts quickly enough and he's expecting you to engage in conversation.
Engage engage engage go go.
"… So complex, but ven you speak a similar language like German it can be so much fun."
Pause. Did he say what I think he said?
"Grammar? Is fun?"
He shoots me a movie-star smile. It's kind of sickening and makes me vaguely want to hit him in the face. Maybe it's just the sheer repulsiveness of all movie-star smiles (I hope it is). "Yes. Vould you mind terribly if I could see this book of yours?"
Alert. Alert. Conflict.
- I do mind terribly.
- He is beautiful and I do not want to disappoint him.
I almost close the book, face scrunched strangely as I try with all my might not to scowl and sneer, when the fire alarm goes off and blares throughout the library as if an ambulance were in here with us.
Schnitzel (I've forgotten his actual name) swipes his backpack from his chair (I leave mine, I am a fire-drill veteran), and we jog outside (we have to, we're in the very corner of the goddamned library and everybody is ahead of us) to catch up with the rest of the class. We jog through the halls, along the lockers, along the dozen other classes on this floor. We stop jogging because everybody is walking and the flood of turtle-people does not allow for an increase of speed beyond 2/mph.
Which is perfectly all right. We make it outside, safe and sound, into the pouring rain.
It is somewhat cold outside (October, New York, 2pm), however this is made all completely okay by the fact that Schnitzel is wearing a white shirt that, although thick enough for our school's well-heated interior, is completely unsuitable for heavy rain.
His shirt is now less opaque than appropriate for high school.
I can see his chest hair.
This is good. This is a good day.

I'm having a problem with my blog in that it seems ok on the index page http://www.spam-blocker-online.com but if any of the posts are clicked on; the sidebar shifts to the bottom of the page. I guess there is a missing div but I can't work out how to fix this as there is only a header.php, index.php, footer.php and sidebar.php for the page layouts. I've tried closing the div in a couple of places that I thought would work which makes the post page ok but then the index nav is out!
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

I'm curious to know what folks standard post-installation checklist looks like for Windows Server 2008. I'm creating a virtual instance of 2k8 to use a base for other VMs in our test environment, so I want a clean, generic image to start them off with.
For example, the first thing I do is create C:\Utils, add it to the path, and put process explorer in there.
I'll also disable IPv6 on the NICs.
What other things to you do on all your servers?
