The musical soul of Scott Cooper's 'Out of the Furnace'
LOS ANGELES — In the new drama "Out of the Furnace," premiering tonight at the 2013 AFI Fest in Hollywood, Scott Cooper has finally delivered a follow-up to his 2009 debut "Crazy Heart." That film, which won Oscars for Best Actor and Best Original Song, came about as a vessel through which the Virginia-born director could, in some way, tell the story of singer Waylon Jennings (something he could not do directly due to legalities surrounding the country crooner's life). Indeed, Jennings' Nashville smack-down "Are You Sure Hank Done It This Way?" made it onto the soundtrack, part of the DNA of a film that aimed to strip away the flashy rhinestones and fancy bolos and tell a straightforward story of a musician's life on the road, no place for the weary kind.
Given how entrenched that film was in its musical identity, it's only natural that one might be curious about the musical pulse of his latest, an account of life and death and the thin line between in the mountains of Pennsylvania Appalachia. And make no mistake, there is a musical soul to "Out of the Furnace," perhaps one even deeper than that of "Crazy Heart."
When Cooper first began working on the script, which was a complete re-write of Brad Inglesby's black list screenplay "The Low Dweller," he was listening to Bruce Springsteen's "Nebraska" and "The Ghost of Tom Joad" albums quite a bit. In fact, a line of action in the script — "The stacks, reaching for the sky like the arms of God, connect to a massive PLANT that hulks over the Monongahela river." — recalls a lyric from Springsteen's "Youngstown": "Then smokestacks reachin' like the arms of god into a beautiful sky of soot and clay."
There was a time when the film was titled "Under a Black Sun" and featured Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" playing diegetically on a jukebox, both referencing, like the end of the Springsteen lyric, the dark cloud of industry that once hung low over Pennsylvania steel country. The second trailer for the film features a cover of Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" by Phantogram singer Sara Barthel, and early on, cues ranging from Guns N' Roses' "November Rain" to Ice Cube's "No Vaseline" populated the script, all of it reflecting character and culture crucial to the world Cooper was building.
"Any time I sit down to write, I'm always listening to music because it helps inform my characters and my world," Cooper says, sitting in his stark Brentwood office space. "Some of Bruce Springsteen's work sort of speaks to the themes that course through the narrative, and I was also listening to a lot of Enrico Caruso opera for some of the more violent sequences. I would listen to a lot of cello, too, and you'll find a lot of cello in the film, because it felt like those were the tones that best encapsulated this world."
Cooper then began thinking about his characters, rough neck brothers Russell and Rodney Baze and what kinds of music they would listen to. For the 38-year-old lead, Russell (Christian Bale), Cooper theorized that music probably became very important to him, as it does many people, in his teens and early-20s. Perhaps he was anti-establishment in his youth, interested in the punk and metal scenes, but eventually something like Pearl Jam would speak to him.
"Eddie Vedder, through his music and through the whole band, has always spoken to — much like Bruce — a blue collar ethic," Cooper says. "He writes about the obstacles in life, both physical and emotional."
It was an important point of departure for Cooper because until then he was playing with bringing in other elements. There were conversations with Springsteen and U2's Bono, artists who also speak to the milieu he was interested in exploring. "These are two of the most famous rockstars in the world, and they may be extraordinarily wealthy, but you feel like they are not part of the '1 percent,'" Cooper says. "They really understand what a blue collar steel worker is going through because they write from that experience."

Obama's Chicago mentor and decades long colleague is on a Jew hating rampage. Bill Ayers launched Obama's political career in Chicago. They worked together on a number of left wing projects (Ayers was funded a $600,000 grant while Obama chaired the board of the CAC). In December 1997, Obama wrote a blurb praising Ayers' book.
I exposed Bill Ayers and terrorist wife Bernardine Dohrn's blatant judeophobia in their book Prairie Fire. Now that Obama is in the White House, they are taking their Jew hatred to a whole new level and bringing it to the international stage.
Ayers calls for a boycott, disinvestment and sanctions, and then travels to Cairo on a barbarian's "humanitarian" piece of theater.
Ayers calls for boycott of Israel Unity Coalition for Israel
JERUSALEM - Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers, a close associate for years of President Obama, is one of 431 academics to sign a petition calling for divestment, boycott and sanctions against Israel.
"As educators and scholars of conscience in the United States, we fully support this call," reads the online petition by an organization calling itself the U.S. Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel.
"We urge our colleagues, nationally, regionally, and internationally, to stand up against Israel's ongoing scholasticide and to support the non-violent call for academic boycott, disinvestment, and sanctions," states the petition.
The petition claims Israel persistently violates international law and carries out "illegal" discriminatory policies comparable to apartheid in South Africa.
The text fails to note that about 20 percent of Israel's population consists of Arabs who have democratic rights as citizens, including full representation in the Knesset. Indeed, Arabs living in Israel have more fundamental rights than Arabs living anywhere else in the Middle East.
The Palestinian Authority, meanwhile, institutionally discriminates against Christians and Jews. Israel was required to evacuate all Jews from the Gaza Strip before handing the territory over to the Palestinians. Any future Palestinian state will be Jew-free.
The petition does not once mention Palestinian terrorism.
The text also claims all "forms of international intervention and peace-making have until now failed to convince or force Israel to comply with humanitarian law." The petition does not mention that Israel multiple times offered the Palestinians a state in the Gaza Strip, West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem only to have the Palestinians turn down the gesture without a counter offer. After such an offer during U.S.-brokered talks ending in September 2000, for example, the PA initiated a terrorist intifada that killed 1,078 Israelis.
The Twitter feed of the Republican Jewish Coalition first noticed that Ayers' name was among the list of academics on the boycott petition.
Ayers, Dohrn stir chaos in Middle East
Obama's friends join protesters attempting to enter Gaza (Aaron Klein)
JERUSALEM – Weatherman terrorists Williams Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn – close associates for years of President Obama – were involved in provoking chaos on the streets of Egypt this week in an attempt to enter the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip to join in solidarity with the territory's population and leadership.
The protests were led in large part by Jodie Evans, co-founder of Code Pink, a far-left activist organization formed in 2002 to protest America's war in Iraq. The group previously met with Hamas and with leaders of the Taliban. Evans was a fundraiser and financial bundler for Obama's presidential campaign.
Also protesting in Egypt was Ali Abunimah, co-founder of the anti-Israel Electronic Intifada website.
Atlas first published reports of Obama's relationship with Ali Abunimah back in March of 2007 here.
Obama spoke at pro-Palestinian events in the 1990s alongside Abunimah. In one such event, a 1999 fundraiser for Palestinian "refugees," Abunimah recalls introducing Obama on stage.
After arriving in Cairo, Evans appealed this week to Suzanne Mubarak, wife of Egypt's president, to allow some 1,400 activists to cross from Egypt into neighboring Gaza to march there, deliver humanitarian aid and stage a protest at an Israeli border crossing with thousands of Palestinian Gazans. Egypt's Interior Ministry had said the march was illegal and a threat to national security.
Mubarak reportedly offered to allow only 100 activists to cross into Gaza. The decision was at first reportedly accepted by Evans but was later rejected, leading to protests throughout Cairo all week under a heavy police presence.
The rioters claimed some of the protests were violent, but the claim could not be immediately confirmed.
Jew hating Dohrn proudly boasts of her inctiement to genocide the blog, the Rag Blog:
A Movement reimagining change: Freedom marchers head for Gaza
More on the Gaza Freedom March, Below.
CAIRO -- It has been a tumultuous 15 hours. Two buses, carrying 100 people from the GFM and loads of humanitarian supplies, just departed from Cairo for Gaza. This was a victory and a concession. The decisions and the manner in which this opportunity was framed and promoted by various actors fractured the GFM participants in familiar and unlikely, real and sectarian ways -- all documented by media cameras and hundreds of Egyptian security forces.
"Humanitarian supplies"? Like this?
Ali Abunimah, Veterans for Peace organizers, Israeli journalist Amira Hess, and this writer were among the 100 people on the list to go, who arrived at 6:30 this morning, on the corner of Ramsis by the 6th October Bridge at the Al Gona Bridge, to depart for Gaza.
Tuesday morning, delegates from several countries went to their embassies in Cairo to plead for help getting to Gaza. Most were met with predictable bureaucratic intransigence. The French, however, staged an extraordinary encampment in front of their embassy and their ambassador and his wife came out and spent time speaking with them individually and in small groups.
That action continues today. Bill [Ayers] and I went to the American Embassy at 10 a.m. and asked to see the Ambassador. We were ushered into a holding pen a block away from the embassy building where we joined 35 people already there, surrounded by Egyptian soldiers. Over the next four hours, another dozen Americans arrived, and those of us who asked to leave were denied.
Meanwhile, Medea Benjamin, Kit Kiteredge, and Ali Abunimah were meeting with an embassy official and stressing that we intended to go to Gaza on a nonviolent, humanitarian mission, and requesting their assistance. Further, they asked that the embassy officials release the U.S. citizens who were now clearly being detained outside.
Late last night, it was announced at the nightly team leaders' meeting that our three days of actions across Cairo, the international pressure around the world, and consistent efforts by CodePink leadership to meet with high level Egyptian officials -- including a meeting yesterday at the offices of Suzanne Mubarak -- resulted in an agreement with the Egyptian government that two buses could leave for the Rafah crossing into Gaza early Wednesday.
The names of the 100, however, had to be submitted to Egyptian officials by Tuesday evening. This resulted in a (necessarily) rushed process, without the opportunity for full debate, discussion, and input about criteria for selection, or about the strategic goals of sending a smaller, incomplete team of people to enter Gaza and participate in the New Year's freedom march with the people there. By mid-evening, whole delegations (South Africa, New York) announced that they would not participate. In part, they critiqued the process of decision-making; in part, they took the position, "all of us or none."
As we stood in the morning chill of the stunningly polluted Cairo sky, those boarding the buses felt that it was a partial victory to have two busloads depart for Gaza, that we would take supplies, and witness the realities of life under the occupation/blockade. We thought that our primary objective was to break the isolation of Gaza, and to join with the civil society forces there who wanted us to come join them. The GFM forces opposed to the compromise that left 1,300 of the GFM still in Cairo, gathered at the departure point and began painting banners and chanting against the departure of the buses. Egyptian security grew.
We boarded the buses, loaded supplies, handed over our passports and sat on the buses, excited and exhausted, watching the opposition to our departure gather steam. Signs were hoisted, some began shouting and crying, and chants to Don't Go, Get off the Bus, and All of Us or None grew in force. Many, unhappy to have worked so hard to get here and who built critical support for Palestinian solidarity and human rights, felt that it was unfair to be left behind, and not to have been consulted. People wavered.
Resentment and criticism of leadership (legitimate and small-minded) and the obvious manipulation of the situation by the Egyptian (and Israeli and U.S.) governments escalated. Al Jazeera ran a story quoting the Egyptian Prime Minister who proclaimed that only the reliable and respectable people had been selected to travel to Gaza (!), leaving behind the rabble rousers and unruly GFM marchers, and claiming credit for delivering the humanitarian supplies to the people of Gaza.
It was clear to us in the hours of debate and delay that some would leave for Gaza, and that others would stay in Cairo to press the demand that the border be opened, the blockade ended, and that all of the GFM participants be allowed to enter Gaza. One of the great difficulties throughout these several days has been to keep ourselves and all participants focused on Gaza.
We find ourselves unwillingly in Cairo, drawn into clashes with authorities and one another on side issues, when what we most want it to keep our eyes on the Palestinian people and our spirits with those confined in Gaza. This is the challenge of the next three days. A large group of us is planning to try to walk to Gaza starting tomorrow, December 31. Buses and taxis containing smaller groups have been turned back all week, and the situation remains fluid, dynamic, and fraught.
But there's more. Protests and boycott.

Sehr schönes und gepflegtes Bungalow. Entspricht voll und ganz der Abbildung und Beschreibung. Freundlicher Empfang. Ist sehr empfehlenswert.
We had a fantastic staying. First impression of the staying was that it was so well prepared for our arrival. Service was perfect with water, beer, wine and coffee all in place which was so appreciated. The house had the "little extra" in form of fantastic colored led-lightening, nice furniture and comfortable sunbeds.
We would love to come back.
Really beautiful property, obviously very well looked after by the owners. I've stayed in all kinds of places all over PdI/Maspalomas/Meloneras, but this is by a very long margin.
Great location, not just in terms of Playa del Ingles but in terms of the other apartments.. most of them are either alongside fairly busy roads or a bit of a walk to get to, but this one is right in the far corner, very peaceful, but accessible directly via a quiet side street that has a large car park.
Something else that's not apparent from the pictures is the scale, the outdoor area is fantastic, even more spacious than it seems in the photos.
Really nice and unexpected welcome too! The only tiny niggle we had was lack of microwave but other than that it was fantastically well equipped, far more than you would expect. Couldn't be happier with our stay, and would highly recommend it to anyone else reading this.

Canvas log tote was received promptly after it was ordered. Used it at least 10 times so far, to haul firewood from the back porch to the fireplace in the house, and it is the perfect size. Straps are quite strong and tote does not drop any debris. Super good purchase.

Embrace jade, one of the hot colors of fall, when selecting an outfit for casual date night.
Birmingham stylist Tracy Robinson of www.chicmadesimple.com said this jade dress, $38, can go with a pair of tall, black boots. Wear it with a bare leg, or, as the weather cools, black opaque tights. She paired an owl belt and black and gold earrings, each $18, and a scarf, $24, with the dress.
Owls are also in for fall. Just don't go overboard with them. If you have an owl belt, don't add owl earrings and a necklace. It'll be too much. The scarf, which has popular fall colors of mustard and burnt orange, makes the ensemble less predictable and more eclectic, she said.
All items are from Francesca's Collections at the Summit.

CDCUs Awarded Almost $13 Million From CDFI Fund
Twenty community development credit unions have received grants in the latest funding from the U.S. Treasury Department's Community Development Financial Institutions Fund.
Along with a grant to the National Federation of Community Development Credit Unions, the CDFI fund announced awards worth $12.7 million to CDCUs.
CDFI fund officials made the funding announcement at El Maguey y La Tuna, a restaurant in New York City's Lower East Side that had been funded in part by one of the CDCUs that received funds.
Linda Levy, CEO of the Lower East Side Peoples FCU that funded the restaurant, said her CU received an award for $750,000 and she spoke about the impact that the CDFI Fund award will make to the credit union's members.
"The most important thing about this grant is that we will be able to use it to make more funds available to businesses all over the 5 boroughs of New York," Levy said. "We have almost tripled our small business lending this year, and a good part of that is due to the fact that the banks have stopped lending. I think we all know this and we're all very sorry about this, and we have been trying very hard to step into the fray, but it's been hard because we don't have a lot of capital, so this is really going to help us help the community."
Joy Cousminer, CEO of the Bethex Federal Credit Union, put the funding in almost scriptural terms.
"Our credit union is exactly 40 years old," said Cousminer, "and when the Jews left Egypt they had to wonder the desert for 40 years before they were allowed into the Promised Land. We are looking at this as our 40 years in poverty, and we have finally reached the border of the Promised Land thanks to the CDFI Fund."

The reasons to support Referendum 74 | Editorial
Admitting that your view on a particular subject matter may have been wrong is never an easy thing.
Typically, deep down inside you know you have been on the wrong side of an issue or argument for a long time before you will actually admit it to yourself or publicly vocalize it to friends, family or fellow community members.
My upbringing was pretty average and typical. My parents were not hard core when it came to religion despite the fact that they did send me to a private Catholic school for three years. That decision had a lot more to do with the available public education choices in our area and less to do with religion. Now my grandparents on my mom's side that was another matter entirely. Diligent Catholics who followed church practices in church but as was typical of that generation seemed disconnected from most of the day to day practices of patience, forgiveness and tolerance at home.
During the decade of excess, which was the 1980's, I lost a cousin who was still in his 20's to AIDS. It really was an awful time of fear and intolerance for individuals who were stereotyped for being associated with this disease. I simply remember that the adult members of my family did not talk about homosexuality much or if they did it was simply a whispered post script that was forever associated with my cousin's passing.
For a very long time I simply accepted the positions of many members of my family as my own positions. I also accepted the positions of the political party I was raised in and came to associate myself with without question. If they were against something than I was against it. If they were for something I was for it.
Thank goodness that all of that has changed over the years. It changed because I became a parent myself. It changed because I began to question and withdraw from certain blind political party associations and most importantly it changed because I was given another set of role models to guide me. These role models came and went from my life over a series of years. They showed me love and relationship commitment. They were my co-workers, my extended family members, my friends and my fellow citizens. They were gay and lesbian. They were same sex couples. They were also parents and community members who love this area as much as I do and who deserve the same amount of legal and respected relationship status as I have with my nearly 20 years of marriage to my husband Jason.
Everyone should have the right to marry who they love.
I rarely write specifically about political issues that I have taken a personal stand on. I tend to keep this column more about general community issues that a wide audience can relate to. However a recent conversation with someone that I respect whose decision is guided more by faith than practical application had me reassessing what I was doing, how I would vote and what I would say. It made me consider that keeping silent was just the easy way out. That same easy way out that had me blindly accepting the social positions of others as my own for far too long.
Before us now is Referendum 74. I will be voting YES in support of this Referendum. For me this is less about the political football that many of these impactive social issues have become from the left and the right and more about the individual rights and happiness of all the members of my Bremerton community.

Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
No, it isn't how VC games should be. VC games should be as they were back in the day - no online play, controls with D-pad and buttons and inferior graphics. I keep hearing people saying "VC games should be changed to include online play" or "can't they smarten the graphics up?" Why? You're buying into retro gaming. If you want better graphics and online play, play modern games.
Sorry, just a bit of a rant there.
if its not patent probably will be soon.. great idea for who created the program.. wish nintendo have thought of it first. i think its cool but i dont think its much fun when i have a couple friends crowded around to play on a 17" monitor.. i rather play it on my tv..

Session Law
Chapter 156 AN ACT ESTABLISHING A SICK LEAVE BANK FOR RHEA LINDSTEDT, AN EMPLOYEE OF THE DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE.Prev Next

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same as follows:
Notwithstanding any general or special law or rule or regulation to the contrary, the department of revenue shall establish a sick leave bank for Rhea Lindstedt, an employee of the department. Any employee of the department may contribute 1 or more sick, personal or vacation days to the sick leave bank for use by Rhea Lindstedt. Whenever Rhea Lindstedt terminates employment with the department or requests to dissolve the sick leave bank, the time remaining in the sick leave bank shall be transferred to the extended illness leave bank.
Approved November 13, 2007.

House Bill 2510 would allow homeowners with reverse mortgages, homeowners who have not lived in their homes for at least five years, or both to return to the program starting in the 2014-15 tax year. More participants would be allowed in future years.
The 700 additional participants are estimated to cost $1.36 million in the 2013-15 biennium.
The House approved the bill in May but must sign off on some minor changes the Senate made.
State officials in 2011 tightened the eligibility criteria of the program, which was then running out of money. About 7,500 homeowners participate in the program, down from the 10,500 homeowners who participated in the program prior to the recent changes.Legislature earlier this session approved and the governor signed House Bill 2489, which allowed about 1,500 participants with reverse mortgages to return to the program. The Legislature last year offered a two-year reprieve for residents with reverse mortgages, and House Bill 2489 made that exemption permanent.
Created in 1963, the senior property tax deferral program was intended to help poor Oregonians remain in their homes by allowing them to defer property taxes. The taxes are paid back, with interest, after the home sells or the property owner dies.
An investigation by The Oregonian in 2011 found homeowners with million-dollar properties in the program.

A neurologist with a Jersey City practice was arraigned on a 12-count indictment charging him with pharmaceutical narcotics trafficking, Medicaid fraud, and other offenses today, officials said.
Dr. Magdy Elamir, 57, of Saddle River, wore a pale gray double-breasted suit and stood with his hands clasped behind his back during the hearing at which he was represented by Jersey City attorney Sam DeLuca.
A not guilty plea was entered on behalf of the soft-spoken doctor by Hudson County Superior Court Judge Kevin Callahan.
At the hearing, Deputy Attorney General Debra Conrad noted that Elamir's license to practice medicine was suspended in December by the state Board of Medical Examiners. Elamir, whose office is in the Journal Square area, is currently out on a $100,000 bail which was set in October.
Authorities claim that between Jan. 1, 2007 and Oct. 20 last year, Elamir, a neurologist who practiced at 550 Summit Ave. in Jersey City, conspired with others to submit fraudulent claims to the Medicaid program for reimbursement and received payments for medical examinations that had not been provided.
Prosecutors say Elamir also conspired to write medically unnecessary prescriptions for Medicaid beneficiaries, thereby causing pharmacies to submit claims to Medicaid for the medically unnecessary drugs.
The indictment further states that Elamir distributed drugs by providing medically unnecessary prescriptions for Xanex and Percocet in exchange for cash payments within 500 feet of the Jersey City Public Library, a public building, and within 1,000 feet of St. Joseph's School.
The most serious charge against Elamir carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in state prison and fine of up to $150,000, officials said.
Conrad said the state had no plea offer on the table as of yesterday.
DeLuca had no comment after the hearing in the Hudson County Administration Building in Jersey City.
Callahan set Sept. 15 for the next hearing in the case.

Rapid Blood Test Identifies Infection Type
Aug. 12, 2011 -- A rapid blood test that distinguishes between viral and bacterial infection in less than two hours could prove to be a useful weapon in the battle against antibiotic resistance.
Researchers in Israel say they have developed just such a test, but they add that more research is needed to confirm their findings.
The test relies on a process known as chemiluminescence, which measures light emitted in response to chemical reactions.
They found that white blood cells known as phagocytes produced to fight bacteria and viruses had different chemiluminescent signatures that could be easily seen in blood samples within just a few hours.
Viral and Bacterial Symptoms Can Be Similar
Bacteria and viruses are the most common cause of respiratory infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis.
The different infections often have very similar symptoms, but antibiotics are only useful in the treatment of illness caused by bacteria.
Cultures are most commonly used in the general practice setting to distinguish between the two types of infection, but it typically takes 24 to 48 hours to confirm a diagnosis.
As a result, antibiotics are often prescribed unnecessarily to people who turn out to have viral infections. This practice has greatly contributed to the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.
In a new study, published this week in the journal Analytical Chemistry, researchers Robert Marks, PhD, and Daria Prilutsky, PhD, examined the ability of a chemiluminescence-based blood test they developed to distinguish between viral and bacterial infection in blood samples taken from 69 patients treated in the emergency department of a hospital in Israel.
All the patients had fevers and all had been diagnosed as having viral or bacterial infections.
The phagocyte-targeting model developed by the researchers was able to distinguish between viral and bacterial infection with a high predictive accuracy.
Marks say the goal is to be able to also identify fungal and parasitic infection in future generations of the experimental blood test.
Antibiotic Resistance a 'Public Health Crisis'
Marks tells WebMD that the next step is to confirm the current findings in a larger group of patients and develop software to make applicable to the clinical setting.

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli announced today that the following audits have been issued:
Office of Children and Family Services: Sibling Placement in Foster Care in New York City (Follow-Up Report) (2008-F-48)
New York State's foster care programs are administered by 58 local social service districts (57 counties and New York City) that are overseen by the Office of Children and Family Services. According to state law and regulations, siblings placed in foster care should be kept together unless it is impossible or inadvisable to do so. If siblings in foster care are separated, provisions should be made for them to see one another regularly and the reason for their separation must be appropriately documented. In a prior audit (2007-S-10), auditors found these requirements were generally being met but there was no documentation in some instances indicating that separated siblings had visited with one another as often as required. When auditors followed up on this prior audit, they found progress had been made.
Department of Civil Service: New York State Health Insurance Program: Payments for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (Follow-Up Report) (2008-F-43)
A prior audit (2007-S-12) found Group Health Incorporated (GHI) owed the state $96,178 for duplicate and inappropriate payments for mental health and substance abuse services provided under the Empire Plan. When auditors followed up on the prior audit's findings, they found the payments had been refunded to the state, but other recommended improvements had not been made.
Department of Health: Eligibility of Children Enrolled in Child Health Plus B (Follow-Up Report) (2008-F-26)
In New York State's Child Health Plus B Program, which is administered by the Department of Health, free or low-cost health insurance is provided to low-income children who are not eligible for Medicaid. In a prior audit (2005-S-58), auditors identified more than 20,000 ineligible children that were enrolled in the Child Health Plus B Program at a cost of $2.6 million during the audit period. When auditors followed up on this prior report, they found progress had been made.
Department of Health: Flu Pandemic Preparedness (Follow-Up Report) (2009-F-7)
In a prior audit (2007-S-9), auditors examined whether the Department of Health had taken steps to prepare and respond to a flu pandemic. Auditors found that the department had taken necessary steps and recommended that additional actions be taken to further enhance the department's preparedness. When auditors followed up on these matters, they found the audit's recommendations had been implemented.
Department of Health: Inappropriate Medicaid Billings for Dental Services (Follow-Up Report) (2008-F-46)
In a prior audit (2007-S-3), auditors disallowed $125,000 in Medicaid claims to a dentist who maintained two dental facilities in Brooklyn and recommended that the department review an additional $771,000 in questionable bills. When auditors followed up on this prior audit, they found the audit's recommendations had been implemented, and the dentist had been convicted of Medicaid fraud and surrendered his license to practice dentistry.
Department of Health: Office of Professional Medical Conduct: Complaints and Investigations Process (Follow-Up Report) (2008-F-29)
The Department of Health's Office of Professional Medical Conduct is responsible for investigating cases of suspected misconduct on the part of physicians, physician assistants and specialist assistants. In a prior audit (2005-S-21), auditors examined the actions taken by the office in identifying, tracking and investigating complaints of alleged physician medical misconduct and found areas for improvements. When auditors followed up on this prior audit, they found the audit's recommendations had been implemented.
Office of Mental Health: Oversight of Criminal History Record Checks for Service Provider Employees (2008-S-87)
The Office of Mental Health (OMH) provides inpatient and outpatient services to approximately 500,000 New Yorkers annually with the assistance of nearly 500 not-for-profit service providers. All prospective employees of these providers who would have unsupervised contact with patients are required by law to undergo a background check as a condition of their employment. Auditors examined OMH's oversight of the service providers' compliance with this requirement and found that the oversight provided reasonable assurance the providers were complying with the requirement.
New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene: Contracted Health Care Services for New York City Prison Inmates (Follow-Up Report) (2009-F-2)
A contractor overseen by the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is responsible for providing health care services to New York City prison inmates. In a prior audit (2005-N-5), auditors examined the department's monitoring of the contractor's performance and identified problems. For example, several of the performance standards established by the department were not being met by the contractor. When auditors followed up on this prior audit, they found only some of the audit's recommendations had been implemented.
Department of Transportation: Recycling Program (2008-S-138)
The Department of Transportation is required to comply with recycling requirements specified in state law and Executive Order 4, which was issued in April 2008. The department also has recycling responsibilities for old tires and other discarded materials found along the state's roadways. Auditors found that the department was not in compliance with its recycling requirements, as it had yet to establish an organization-wide recycling program and was not fully meeting recycling reporting requirements. In addition, when auditors visited selected department facilities, auditors found some of the facilities were not meeting recycling requirements.
State Office for the Aging: Ombudsman Program (Follow-Up Report) (2009-F-4)
The State Office for the Aging (SOFA) administers the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program, in which volunteers are trained and certified to investigate and resolve complaints made by residents in long-term care facilities such as nursing homes. In a prior audit (2006-S-76), auditors examined the expenditures made under the program by SOFA's Central Office and two localities (New York City and Suffolk County). Auditors found that the two localities were expending program funds for their authorized purposes, but the Central Office was expending some of its program funds for purposes that were not related to the program. When auditors followed up on this matter with SOFA officials, they found the audit's recommendations had been implemented.

State Government Accountability
The Office of the State Comptroller regularly audits state agencies, public authorities and New York City agencies. Auditors ensure that programs achieve their established goals, funds are used efficiently and assets are adequately protected against fraud, waste and abuse. DiNapoli's office completes approximately 200 state audits and annually identifies hundreds of millions in savings and fraud each year.

Enamored by the growing craft-brew industry and frustrated with the average draft beer selection, Derar Zawaydeh and Philippe Masoud wanted a place to enjoy craft beers on tap and close to home. After creating several successful Crepeville restaurants in the Sacramento Area, they applied their expertise to untapped passion.
Founded in 2007, it wasn't long before Burgers and Brew started winning awards for its beer selection and burgers. Derar and Philippe attribute the acclaim to their meticulous approach to the dining experience-- no ingredient is too small to tailor for each dish. Their burgers are made with 100% Niman Ranch meats and the freshest ingredients, their sauces and dressings are made in-house, and their dining spaces are designed to best serve each location. Comprehensive doesn't begin to describe the Burgers and Brew experience.
Another key to success for Burgers and Brew's aesthetic has been dedication to the brew. Derar and Philippe are determined to bring world-class beers like Russian River Brewing Co.'s Pliny the Elder and Ballast Point's Sculpin IPA to the tap as well as local favorites like Sierra Nevada, Berryessa Brewing, and Sudwerks.
But, with an unbridled passion for creating sensational dining experiences from scratch, they had to make their own beer as well. Derar and Philippe opened Olde Ritual Brewing Company in 2011 with their inaugural brew, Rapture- an Imperial Brown Ale, only available at Burgers and Brew.

The storm with hurricane-strength winds struck two weeks ago and toppled a 90-year-old, giant oak tree at Upper Hackett Park in Easton -- one of 59 oaks in a grove that pays homage to each of the 59 Easton servicemen who perished in World War I.
A city crew spent a half-day last week cutting up the fallen tree, which measured more than 2 feet in diameter and had stretched about 80 feet or so into the sky. Then the crew planted a new, albeit tinier, oak.
It was the sixth time one of the trees, which provide a picturesque canopy atop Hackett Park's panoramic setting, had to be replaced, said Mark Schroeder with the city's parks and maintenance department.
Each oak has a stone at its base and a memorial plaque fastened to the rock. The rocks were collected from the Delaware River and placed when the Easton Rotary Club formed the grove in 1922.
The tree ripped from the ground by high winds was a memorial to Giovanni Musumeci, a Sicilian immigrant who came to Easton with a brother and enlisted in the Army after World War I broke out.
"Many are buried in France," Mineo said of the World War I veterans, "but we remember them here."
An effort is under way to preserve some portion of the tree that honored Musumeci for so many decades. He died when he was attacked by a German soldier wielding a bayonet while Musumeci was on guard duty in France, Mineo said.
Officials of the Marine Corps League, Northampton County Detachment No. 298, plan to use a piece of the massive trunk to fashion a bench to be placed in front of the detachment's headquarters at 1621 Lehigh St. in Wilson Borough.
Kevin Williams, the detachment's senior vice commandant, and Commandant Joe Pokojni sized up pieces of the massive trunk after Monday's morning ceremony.
"It's almost 100 years old," said Pokojni, adding that preserving even a piece of the tree would ensure its place in history isn't forgotten.

Welcome to the debut of "Ask the Trainer".
I will be soliciting advice from from several trainers in the area. Today, we will hear from Paula Russello and David Carr. Paula and David are the owners/trainers at Complete Canine Dog Training Services in Rome, NY. They can be contacted at: 315-334-3688 or www.completecaninetraining.com
If you have an "Ask the Trainer" question, please e-mail me directly - email@example.com
Today, Paula and David will offer tips that will make traveling with you furry friend fun.
I was reading about the travels from your former colleagues, and as professional canine trainers and animal behavioral specialists, we would like to point out some helpful tips for people when traveling with their pets. Your pet, like you is experiencing new things. If your pet is a seasoned traveler, and has been properly socialized, then there should not be an issue, however,they are still dogs, and live for the moment, so a responsible pet owner should know what signs to look for in their dog and others, to try to avoid possible confrontations. Owners who have pets that seem very docile and laid back to them in their home environment, if not properly socialized to other areas,people or animals could display a shocking behavior to their owners,such as the growl and snap. We cannot stress enough, please properly socialize your dog under the supervision and guidance of a professional before taking them into unfamiliar areas.
If you socialize your dog improperly in the beginning, they will be fearful of new things forever. Stress, is a major factor for a dogs behavior. Dog owners must remain calm,confident and in control at all times. If the owner becomes nervous, anxious and fearful, your dog will act and react and see you as a weak member of the pack, and take control himself. Do not yell at your dog or make sudden and quick movements. To dogs, they believe that your yelling is the same as their barking and will continue. On the flip side, if they become fearful and start whimpering and become very nervous, do not console them either as now, you are encouraging this type of behavior.Just simply walk away with your dog with confidence as if nothing were wrong. To your dog, now he sees you as calm and relaxed, and knows that everything is ok because
the "leader" has taken control of the situation. When your dog is in a "frame of mind" they make the wrong decisions, so it's up to you, again, to be calm, otherwise, your quick movements, could cause a quick bite. When your dog is relaxed and calm, praise him for that behavior, showing him that this is the type of behavior you see as acceptable. The way you put them into and take them out of situations is crucial to both you and your dog. You need them to understand that they not only did something wrong, but what they did wrong .You cannot control other peoples pets, but you can control yours,making you, a responsible owner. As with
any new experience, slowly introduce your dog allowing them time to adjust.Some signs of stress would be dilated pupils, elevated heart rate of more than 100 bpm,excessive salivation, and excessive shedding. Other warning signs would be the "growl" warning, telling the approaching people or pets that he does not want them near his space or item.We call this resource guarding. In response to the question about the Boxers not being neutered, sex drive is just as high a drive as aggression and is often mistaken or confused with each other. Un-neutered males or even neutered males will often try to dominate over the other in any given situation. It is imperative that un-neutered or non spayed dogs never be left unsupervised.Some dogs will stand off hard, others, will submit, it's over and walk away.
As always, you should always seek the advice of a professional before attempting to socialize your dogs to any new experience. This will ensure not only your safety, but also the safety of your pet.

HTC Previews Upcoming HTC One S Case And Kickstand
Looking for a case to offer a little added protection to your newly purchased HTC One S? HTC has previewed their upcoming cases for the One S, including kickstand and non-kickstand variants. The cases come in four colors — gray, granita (red), navy blue (looks royal blue in the pictures)? and black. HTC used a precision-molded flexible plastic shell covered in a soft touch finish. The kickstand is composed of a metal alloy and is spring-loaded, but does block access to the microUSB port when in use. The cases offer complete protection for the rear of the device, though the front remains exposed to the elements. HTC says the cases will be available "soon," priced around $24.99 for the plain model and $39.99 for the kickstand variety.
Hit up Engadget's gallery at the source link to see a gallery of just over 40 images showing these accessories from every possible angle.

Thank you to everyone that attended the third webinar in our 4-part series, "Enhance Usability with SAP Screen Personas" on March 13. Tobias Queck and Dr. Karl-Heinz Brenzinger discussed planning, deploying, and managing Personas in your SAP environment. We have consolidated all the questions into the following Q&A guide, grouped into the following topics.
Is this in GA?
Does Personas work with the SAP Portal?
Can I personalize a Z transaction using Personas?
Does Personas work with CRM especially CRM WCEM?
Can I also customize ENJOY-transactions such as MIGO with Personas?
I have SAP GRC and IDM To provision my users access, Can I provision against Personas?
Users in PFGC can be synched against user assignments in groups in Personas via the admin transaction.
I have Hana Kernel 7.20, Can I install Personas? You mentioned previously If I have Hana I can run Personas.
You need Kernel version 7.21 or later to run Personas. (This was released in September 2012.)
Which version of the SAP GUI do I need to run Personas?
SAP Screen Personas does not use the SAP GUI. Personas is completely browser-based. You do not need to have any SAP GUI installed on a system that is running Personas.
Does this tool allow for mobile functionality?
Personas runs on Windows 8 mobile devices. However, Personas is not designed as a mobile solution as it is.
If we start using Personas now and If SAP changes the UI Technology from MS Silverlight to something else, will our existing screens work with the new UI Technology?
SAP builds products to be backwards compatible. We plan to follow this convention with SAP Screen Personas.
What is the advantage we have with this on Web Dynpros?
We built Personas to allow customers to personalize SAP GUI screens, which are built using Dynpro technology.
Web Dynpro is a newer screen rendering technology. You can use Floorplan Manager to personalize those screens. Personas does not work on Web Dynpro screens.
Are Personas transports governed by CTS+?
There is no recording of customizing changes. Transports are assembled via admin transaction.
Can you override SAP properties for a screen field ? EG. Provide a custom searchhelp for a SAP field hardcoded to use an SAP Searchhelp.
You can overwrite most of the properties for most of the controls. However, it is not possible to assign a new search help to a field.
Does Personas usually get loaded on the R3/ECC server or BW backend server?
Personas is part of the NetWeaver ABAP stack. It is loaded into the ECC server.
PETER – insert personas_architecture.png IMAGE
If a flavor has been created in PRD by a user and it is deemed to be useful to a larger audience, does it have to be recreated manually in DEV before it can be transported through the landscape, or can it be copied from PRD to DEV?
You can use Transports in both directions.
In your example, you could move from PRD to DEV. And then presumably back from DEV to PRD later.
Does end user need any training for this?
If the end user is using a Personas screen that IT built for them, they should not need any training. The purpose of Personas is to make the screens more intuitive.
If IT allows the user to modify screens using Personas, then we recommend you provide some short training. Probably an hour would be sufficient for making simple changes.
What happens during SPS upgrades? Do Personas need to updated in lockstep?
Personas integrates at the kernel level. So, Personas enhancements can occur on their own schedule, independent of SPS (support package stack) upgrades.
What skillsets are required for "developing" flavors in Personas? Can a functional resource handle it or does it require specific technical skills – i.e. HTML/JAVA, ABAP, etc.?
Building screens in SAP Screen Personas is fairly easy. It is mostly drag and drop along with some point and click. You do not need any HTML, Java, or ABAP skills.
You can create most scripts by recording your keystrokes. For creating or editing complex scripts, it would be helpful if you can write a macro in some application.
Where is the new Personas admin screen stored in SAP. In SPRO or a new t-code?
Personas comes with a new transaction offering the day to day administration tasks. In addition, some of the settings can be done using SPRO. These settings are usually done during the implementation and updated rarely in the future.
Will the portal language be passed to the Personas iView so that the Personas page is rendered in the appropriate language?
You can start Personas using the url parameter sap-language. Based on this parameter Personas chooses the requested language.
Do persona flavors accept SAP logon tickets to accomplish SSO?
Personas currently supports only certificate and user/password based logins. We are investigating the possibility to support this in the future as well.
January 2014 Update:
This works now. We have cusotmers that have used SAP Logon tickets for SSO with Personas.
Can we combine multiple screens (ie. From multiple tabs on a program)?
Can you explain shortlinks in more detail? I did not understand how it works? Did I understand the link could be posted in a portal? Would clicking on the link cause a login?
A shortlink allows you to place a Personas screen into another browser-based application (generally in an iView).
Placing in the Portal is one great use case. Shortlinks also allow integration of Personas screens into NWBC. Clicking/opening such a short link is what opens a connection to the target system so that authentication is required.
Why did you use Silverlight?
Microsoft has announced they are discontinuing this technology.
The short answer is that using Silverlight allowed us to bring SAP Screen Personas to market faster than other alternatives. Microsoft is supporting Silverlight through 2021, which should give us plenty of time to examine alternative technologies, which we are already doing.

In an agreed statement of facts, Charles Jack Wheeliker of Townsend Street, choked his partner, Troy Francis Johnson, 35, originally from North Sydney, in a drunken rage.
Both had consumed alcohol and prescription drugs on the night of Aug. 17, 2012, when an argument broke out between the two men in their apartment.
Wheeliker accused Johnson of staying in contact with a woman Johnson previously dated.
He accused Johnson of receiving text messages from the ex-girlfriend over the course of the evening.
The argument became a physical altercation later that night, the court heard.
Due to JohnsonŌĆÖs intoxicated state, Wheeliker was able to place a belt around JohnsonŌĆÖs neck and pulled it tighter every time JohnsonŌĆÖs phone would signal an incoming text message.
He then went next door and told his neighbour he had left the apartment for a short time only to return to find Johnson unconscious on the floor.
When questioned by police the next day, Wheeliker provided investigators with a complete account of the JohnsonŌĆÖs death.
The sentencing hearing begins on Dec. 17. Wheeliker remains on remand at the Cape Breton Correctional Centre.
With second-degree murder, Wheeliker is automatically sentenced to 25 years.
However, the judge sets parole eligibility criteria anywhere between 10 to 25 years, based on aggravating and mitigating factors in the case.


text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewThere are different ways to launch your foes through the air, as well as different goals, depending on the game being played. Character action games, such as Devil May Cry, God of War, or Bayonetta, allow you to launch enemies into the air for the purposes of either following them and performing an air-combo or remaining on the ground to keep them suspended, usually with gunfire. Some fighting games, like Marvel VS Capcom or Guilty Gear, have launch moves that allow for air combos.At times, launching your foe into the air can be the goal of a game, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. The goal in that case is to do enough damage to your opponent that they can be launched to the extreme of any of the four screen directions. In games with their own physics engine, such as Half-Life 2, Psi-Ops, or Mass Effect, you can use your character's abilities to launch enemies through the air and cause either falling or smashing damage. At times in games like these, the enemies themselves can be used as weapons by launching them at one another. Juggling Juggling is the act of launching an enemy or opposing fighter into the air and trying to keep them there for a prolonged period of time, rendering their attacks and defense useless. A notable example of juggling can be using Dante's uppercut slash in Devil May Cry to launch an enemy into the air, and suspending them there with your pistols until they are eliminated. In some fighting games, juggling can be particularly devastating, as it it usually catches the other fighter in a loop that is hard to escape. Some less-balanced fighting games unintentionally include infinite juggles. Based on the skill of the player, this juggle can go on until all of the other fighter's health is diminished.

The driver of a semi-truck that plowed into a Kroger grocery store Saturday in Metro Detroit is dead, according to officials. Witnesses say the accident occurred early Saturday night because another vehicle cut off the large truck, which was heading eastbound on Interstate 94 near 8 Mile Road in Harper Woods. Officials, who have not confirmed the identity of the truck driver, believe the other vehicle forced the victim to either veer toward traffic, or the side of the highway into the store. [Fox 2]
Roseville police say a 16-year-old girl is in custody for allegedly stabbing her 16-year-old boyfriend to death early Saturday inside their Roseville home. Officials say the couple - parents of a 3-week-old son - was involved in an argument that turned violent. The girlfriend was arrested at the home without resistance, police said. [DailyTrib]
The Detroit News' Nolan Finley will resist buying former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick's prison memoir when it is released next month. The columnist says his indecision ended after reading leaked excerpts of the book: "They confirmed what I expected: That this would be a faux mea culpa drenched in narcissism and finger-pointing and reveal once again that he has learned nothing from the ordeal that ruined his life and those of so many others," Finley writes. [DetNews]
Protesters trying to ruin a comedy show in Pontiac that supported Planned Parenthood received some of their own medicine. Starting about 4 p.m. Saturday, anti-abortion groups, led by Citizens for a Pro-Life Society and the Frederick Douglass Foundation, set up shop with signs and graphic images depicting abortion. About an hour later, Planned Parenthood supporters arrived with pink balloons and signs about saving women's health care. Lizz Winstead, co-creator of "The Daily Show," was the comedian performing. [Freep]
In another part of Pontiac, around the same time of the comedy show, a man saved his daughter and nephew from a burning vehicle. The Cadillac, which Dionne Finney was driving, caught fire while he was driving his 6-year-old daughter Samari, and 5-year-old nephew Lexington, from Chuck E. Cheese. All three got out of the vehicle safely. [WXYZ-TV]

GRAND RAPIDS – With one simple stroke of the pen Friday, Jeff Hilliard signed his National Letter of Intent to continue his education and basketball career at Concordia University in Ann Arbor.
The West Michigan Lutheran senior forward had officially beaten the odds.
Hilliard, who was born with no arches and had to undergo a pair of surgeries in the seventh and eighth grades, is going to play college basketball.
Hilliard went on to enjoy a standout high school career, including a senior season that saw him average over 20 points and 16 rebounds a game. NAIA Division II collegiate basketball is next.
"Yes, I do feel like I (beat the odds). I think it was a lot of determination and being able to fight through it," Hilliard said. "I had to get my feet fixed, and once I did that, there was nothing there to hold me back. I was able to go out and do the best that I could."
Hilliard, 6-foot-4, 200 pounds, was joined in the school's media center Friday, May 9, by family, friends, school officials and Concordia coach Ricky Yahn. Hilliard had been accepted to 12 schools, and he had to do plenty of praying before making a decision.
"I really liked the atmosphere, and the fact that I am coming from a Lutheran high school, where I have always felt like I was treated like family - when I went over to Concordia, they did the same thing," he said. "I knew right then that that's where the Lord wanted me to go.
"I have dreamed about this ever since I was a little kid. I always wanted to play at the next level. That's why I played and trained over the summer. I was just determined to get it."
Concordia, which finished 13-18 overall a year ago in Yahn's first season as head coach, competes in the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference. So he will have a number of chances to return and play in front of his hometown fans since the Cardinals compete in the same conference as Aquinas, Cornerstone and Davenport.
Hilliard had a number of big games for the Mustangs, including West Michigan Lutheran's win over Black River when he scored a career-high 37 points on Feb. 27.
"I think skill-wise, his biggest asset is his ability to rebound," Yahn said. "Regardless of high school, college, AAU level of play, going up and rebounding the basketball, and I saw he had several times this year where he got 18-to-20 rebounds a game, that's a very translatable skill to the next level. How well somebody shoots, scores, gets to the basket, sometimes you can't do that as well at the next level. But I think guys who have a knack for rebounding are always able to do that. That's an area that we struggled at this year, so getting a guy that can first and foremost rebound the ball was important to us.
He also has a good touch inside, good size and athleticism and strength. Someone who can come into the program and do one thing well and learn the other thigns as he goes is a very valuable piece for us."

Mets ace R.A. Dickey will shoot for his 20th victory of the season today at Citi Field, but another significant event will take place at the ballpark before Dickey takes the mound.
Keith Hernandez, the Mets' legendary first baseman turned broadcaster, will shave his mustache, a 25-year-old strip of facial hair so renowned the American Mustache Institute, in 2007, dubbed it the top sports mustache of all time.
The event will occur at roughly 11:45 a.m. and will be streaming online here. Hernandez, ever the good sport, has found a sponsor for the event (Schick Hydro, a razor company, of course) and proceeds will go to the Jacqueline Hernandez Adult Day Health Center, in Brooklyn.
The plight of Hernandez's mustache, as it nears extinction, and today's somber event has been well documented. And for those of you who would like one last look, New York magazine has presented a visual eulogy of the famous facial hair.

A flatbed truck struck the Longfellow Bridge and lost its container Monday morning, Massachusetts State Police said via Twitter.
The truck was traveling eastbound on Storrow Drive at the time.
Trucks are prohibited on the roadway due to the number of low clearance bridges.
The container fell onto the middle lane of the highway.
There were no reports of injuries or damage to the bridge.

The Koyna Dam and the Koyna Reservoir formed by it are located on the western side of India, about 200 kilometers south of Bombay (Mumbai), in the state of Maharashtra. The dam was built in 1962, and infilled with water in 1963. On December 11, 1967 at 4:21 local time, an earthquake with an approximate magnitude of 7.0 shook the region in and around the dam. The event caused roughly 200 deaths, 2200 injuries, and destroyed enough homes to render more than 5000 people homeless.
The area was believed to be seismically stable prior to this event, and most experts are convinced that this earthquake was reservoir-induced. The concept of a reservoir-induced (or dam-induced) earthquake is that the enormous pressure of the water behind the dam actually causes shifting in the underlying earth, eventually leading to increased seismicity.
The purpose of this project is to research and summarize the events leading up to the earthquake; document the physical dynamics associated with this particular earthquake and reservoir-induced earthquakes in general; assess the impact on people living and working in the area; and finally detail the community and worldwide response to the disaster.

Private medical insurance
Private medical insurance (PMI), also referred to as private health insurance, offers peace of mind when it comes to the health of you and your loved ones. It is designed to ensure that if anything were to go wrong with you or your family's health you have access to some of the best private healthcare available in the UK. Private medical insurance can cover the costs of surgery, consultancy fees, accommodation and nursing at a private hospital.
Amongst other things, it offers cover for early diagnosis and treatment, paying for anything from physiotherapy on a sprained ankle to seeing a consultant about chronic back pain, and from diagnostic tests to major heart surgery, or even the latest in chemotherapy treatments. One of the biggest attractions to private medical insurance today is of course the ability to 'jump' the long waiting lists experienced if you seek treatment on the NHS.
Staysure has chosen to partner with private medical insurance specialists to ensure that you are provided with the best guidance when it comes to finding private medical cover that is tailored to your needs. We pride ourselves on only working with the UK's top insurers to ensure you're provided with multiple options to suit your requirements and budget. Most policies include cover for the cost of private hospital treatment, with levels of cover varying per plan should you need outpatient consultations, diagnostic tests or ancillary services such as home nursing.
Great reasons to choose Staysure
- Receive up to £400* cash back on your first month's premium
- Switch to Staysure and save up to £820** on your Private Medical Insurance
- FREE review and no obligation quote from professional advisors
- A wide range of plans from fully comprehensive Gold plans to the more budget focused Bronze plans from major providers
- Personalised plans with Extended Cancer Cover and access to treatment and drugs not currently available on the NHS
- A number of options to reduce your premium even further. Such as six week wait, selective hospital lists and a large choice of excesses
Why do I need private medical cover?
- NHS waiting times are on the up with over half a million people currently waiting for treatment. Many of us prefer to turn towards private medical cover for the peace of mind that we can get medical treatment fast and effortlessly if we need it.
- An initial consultation with a private specialist can often add up to anywhere in the region of £150 to £250 and routine surgery often costs thousands. Private medical insurance is an affordable way to insure against these costs.
- NHS cuts have raised concerns over public sector spending. The lack of funds available to provide necessary medical technologies means that more people are turning to private medical insurance for reassurance and some of the best healthcare options available.
- 18-week waiting lists, poor medical treatment, a lack of aftercare and a shortage of beds are a common sight across hospitals nationwide. Private medical insurance can ensure your family has access to the best treatment without the enormous bills or huge waiting lists.
It's understandable that you will have questions regarding which policy is best for you, so why not contact our private medical insurance experts? Simply fill in the short enquiry form, and they will be more than happy to answer your questions.
