They call it Spec's Liquor Warehouse because, well, calling a liquor store the size of a large supermarket just a store wouldn't exactly do it justice. This Mecca offers it all, no matter what you're looking to down. If you need a keg for a frat party, they have over 200 different types and sizes to choose from. If for some reason you're looking for an $800 bottle of Scotch, well, they have that too, as well as a mind-boggling amount of wine that would be impossible to choose from without help from the exceptionally knowledgeable staff.
Bizarre Times on Richmond lets you cover more vices than most (Houston Press employees excluded) can handle in one night. Of course, there's the porn, with a selection ranging from borderline tasteful to completely horrifying; sex toys, featuring nine variations on The Rabbit; prostitute-esque fetish wear; and "viewing rooms" for "couples." But there's also a wide array of tobacco accessories and perfumes that really define Bizarre Times as the Wal-Mart of Adult Video. Sam Walton would be so proud!
We were gonna say Craig's List, but then we found Adrien Gibson, who hangs out on Craig's List and who, despite the inauspicious place for a first meeting, is one helluva apartment hunter. Our friend used Gibson when she was looking for a place a little while back. He asked her what she wanted, where she was looking, what her price range was, and get this: He took her to a place that met her description right off the bat. No "this is almost in your range." No "it's close to where you were saying." None of that. Only friendly, efficient service, so efficient our friend signed up for the first place she saw. Can it get any easier?
Originally from the coral reefs of the Pacific, the Napoleon wrasse living in the confines of the Downtown Aquarium is truly a wonder to behold. He looks as if he'd like to strike up a conversation with you – and that he could formulate a good sentence with those huge lips, given the chance. There's a conscious awareness lurking behind his independently roving eyes, and a presence in his five-foot hulking form. The Aquarium's humphead wrasse is a male, indicated by the bump on his forehead. Labeled as a "sequential hermaphrodite," the Napoleon fish is born male, changes into a breeding female when it matures at five to seven years old, and during its 30 or more years of life may change back again to a dominant male should the need arise. Go see this rare, exquisitely patterned fish, for free – you don't need to buy dinner to visit the aquarium at the Aquarium.
There's no place that can compare to Hong Kong Market No. 4. It's probably the best example of the mix of Texan and Asian cultures. Only in Houston can you find an Asian grocery that has adopted the local fetish of building the largest and grandest supermarkets possible. Here you'll find a plethora of products from every Asian country imaginable. From seemingly odd Japanese soft drinks to Korean candy, this place has stuff for those looking for the exotic and for those who're just homesick.
Packed with high-quality furniture for babies and kids, USA Baby is the place to go when you're looking to outfit your nursery. From beautiful and delicate bassinets to rough-and-tumble bunk beds, from rocking chairs to car seats, it's all at USA Baby. It doesn't matter if you want to create a fairyland for your little princess or a touchdown zone for the little man of the house (or the other way around), it's here. There are adorable "Time-Out" chairs with built-in alarm clocks, fun "How Tall Am I Now?" wall hangings and huge assortments of strollers and baby carriers. And USA Baby has a great selection of hard-to-find stuffed animals. Looking for a life-size gorilla? It's here. Or maybe a pink elephant wearing a tiara? It's here, too.

En Gypsy Couture 07: La Vie Boheme
A lot of people lately have been interested in seeing my living space. We'll start with part of my bedroom, pink walls and all.
Gala recently asked the question, "do you reflect radical self love in the way you speak, the way you dress, the way you decorate your house, the work you do?" Of course this made me think of who we are as people, how we treat ourselves, see ourselves and put ourselves out there in this world. It made me think of one of my favorite designers Betsey Johnson and how her clothing, house, stores, and personality are completely her. She has never held back. I've always admired her for that, so when I attended her birthday bash last year, my heart welled up with joy when she said, "you have great style. It's so you, I feel your essense." I spent years living in apartments with plain white walls, very little art, and strange restrictions. I've also had jobs where I couldn't be the person I wanted to be, dress the way I wanted to dress, and probably the worst was that those very jobs didn't reflect who I was at all. Frankly, at that time I don't think I reflected who I was at all. So as any girl does, I dyed my hair blond and painted my walls green. And for a while it was okay. That was until I decided I still wasn't happy with my life, dyed my hair black, became a pinup model, started doing gallery shows, joined forces with Constellation, and became the person I really felt that I was.
Around this time my walls magically became pink and white, and the gilded gold furniture came almost immediately after. Once I became comfortable in my own skin, the world started opening it's doors. And each year that passes gets better and better. Some people would call this branding oneself and as human beings we should know ourselves and better yet like/love ourselves. So here is my my dresser, filled with items given to me by amazing people, and some items that I found or bought myself. Everything I own is special to me, every feather, bone, or barrette has meaning. I'm getting together reference for the Rogue of Cups this evening after an uneventful day of feeling under the weather. And now onward to pictures of the Caravan.
A special thank you to Miss Lisa Wunder for the vintage red dress and to my partner in crime Sherene Schostak for the Betsey Johnson necklace.

Frequently Asked Questions Is Hugo Naturals considering organic certification?When they created their line, they purposefully avoided the word "organic" in their labeling, even though they used many certified organic ingredients in their products. Here in the U.S. there is very poor, if any, regulation of personal care products. As a result, they chose not to be a part of that confusion. Twelve months ago, things changed. The largest retailer of natural products in the world, Whole Foods Market, took a much needed stance on the word "organic" on personal care products carried in their stores. For us, this brought organic certification for body care onto a different playing field. As a result, they have begun the process towards organic certification. In their opinion, not all organic certifications are the same. They have chosen QAI, the largest organic certifier in the world, as their organic certifier, because after looking in to all of the various organic certifiers, they found their standards for organic certification to be in alignment with their own high standards. You can look for their new organic certification seals on their labels within the next 12- 18 months. Until that time, rest assured they do use the highest quality, 100% natural ingredients in all of their products. They are always going to be the leader, setting the standard for others in their industry. Today, they are the first to offer an entire line of body care that is certified gluten free, soy free and vegan. They are also in the process of gaining non-GMO certification. They don't use a natural certification, but they are pushing their industry to have one that is in alignment with their own high standards. How does Hugo Naturals prevent their products from spoiling? Do they use preservatives?One strategy they employ is reducing the amount of water contained in their products. The water content of a product is a major factor in spoilage. Due to the low water content they are able to use all-natural preservatives such as Japanese Honeysuckle extract and rosemary extract. Many of their other ingredients have preservative properties as well. Essentially, they give you more for your money and in the process eliminate the need to use chemical preservatives. How does Hugo Naturals scent their products?The natural way! They use only 100% natural essential oils and botanical extracts. They do not use water or alcohols in their extracts, but instead use kosher vegetable glycerin as a base. Does Hugo Naturals only use natural colors?Yes. They quite literally searched the world looking for natural ingredients with colorful properties. They have discovered that they can use natural colorings from seeds, pulp, algae, chlorophyll, and other completely natural ingredients to produce vibrant colors without the potentially harmful side-effects of artificial ingredients. Hugo Naturals ProductsHugo Naturals is an all-natural personal body care line that is both exceptionally pure and deliciously pampering. They hand-select only the finest, all-natural, food-grade ingredients available, and blend them according to their original recipes to create the ultimate in pure products for skin, hair, baby and home. Though their company has grown in size from the days they began selling handcrafted soaps at their local Farmer's Market, their commitment to making every product with the same care and quality remains. Every Hugo Naturals product is handcrafted in the USA from only the finest all natural, food-grade ingredients available. Their products are free of petrochemicals, animal fats, parabens, silicones, formaldehyde, hydroquinone, phthalates, propylene glycol, and synthetic surfactants. Their products are never tested on animals, are gluten free and made from sustainable sources that are pure and natural. The raw materials they use to manufacture their products are the most pure and natural available. Many of the ingredients they use are not used by any other body care company in the industry. Their efficacious ingredients are grown in rich, naturally nurturing soils following the law of nature without the use of toxic or persistent chemical pesticides or herbicides. They work with famers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and harvest their crop according to specified methods. Their lotions, scrubs and creams are exquisitely scented with pure essential oils and plant essences that delight the senses, deeply moisturize, and add protection from the environment while feeling as rich and indulgent as spa treatments.Being respectful of the earth's natural resources, and being a steward of this wonderful planet is what Hugo Naturals is all about. They are known for their tireless commitment to quality, purity and 100% customer satisfaction.

Their passion is to enhance peoples' lives by creating amazing products made from the best raw materials that the Earth can sustainably give. Their product line started out from handcrafted soaps that were made with all-natural ingredients and sold at their local Farmer's market. They feel that what you put on your body as well as what you put in your body is important.

Their products are as pure and simple as who they are as human beings, who they are as business people, and who they are as a company. They believe in excellence to the highest level, and that business should be done without shortcuts or mass marketing that results in inferior quality products & standards.

SAN BERNARDINO - A nonprofit group has received a $1 million federal grant to find ways to reduce crime in a 20-block area north of downtown that has seen a high occurrence of violent crimes in recent years.
The area is between Highland Avenue on the north, Base Line on the south, Sierra Way on the west and Waterman Avenue on the east.
"We're hoping to be able to help community members implement public policies that will help reduce crimes in their areas," said Pat Morgan of the Institute for Public Strategies, the San Diego-based non-profit awarded the funding by the U.S. Justice Department's Byrne Criminal Justice Innovation program.
The program is part of the larger federal Neighborhood Revitalization Initiatives, which focus on a data-driven approach to develop strategies to improve opportunities and reduce crime in distressed neighborhoods.
Police Chief Robert Handy hopes the group's findings will help community organizations develop crime-prevention programs that deal with the underlying problems associated with high crime rates.
"Our gang issues, our poverty issues, our joblessness, high school dropout rates - there are so many underlying social issues that I believe are high contributors to that crime," Handy said.
Recently, the institute helped a coalition of High Desert community members inform smoke shop owners about the dangers of synthetic drugs, which led many of the shop owners to no longer carry many of the questionable products.
"We hope to help San Bernardino in the way we were able to successfully help the High Desert in that particular operation," Morgan said.
The institute will be working with the Drug-Free San Bernardino Coalition and the San Bernardino Mayor's Office.
"We hope this funding can serve as a cornerstone to our continuing efforts to reduce crime in San Bernardino," Mayor Pat Morris said in a statement. "We look forward to partnering with the (institute) as they undertake this very important work."
One community member is eager to see what will transpire.
"I'm hoping to see some positive changes and to help support all of the community's efforts as well," said Nick Gonzalez, president of the Neighborhood Cluster Association.
Handy hopes to see an increase in the number of preventive programs because, he says, San Bernardino will not be able to police its way out of its crime problem.
"It's not just about putting more officers out on the streets," Handy said, "It's more about getting at the underlying issues."

STOCKTON, CA -- Diamond Foods said its acquisition of Pringles chips from Procter & Gamble will be delayed until the first half of 2012. The $1.5 billion acquisition, announced in April, had been expected to close in December. But the date has been pushed back to allow Diamond time to complete an accounting investigation.
Stockton, CA-based Diamond said the chairman of the audit committee of its board of directors received an external communication regarding the company's accounting to certain crop payments to walnut growers. The communication prompted Diamond Foods' audit committee to perform an internal investigation.
Diamond said the Pringles deal is still subject to customary closing conditions, but antitrust approval has already been obtained.
The company owns Kettle potato chips and Emerald Nut brands. The sale of Pringles by P&G, which makes Pampers and Tide laundry detergent, would continue its divestiture of food products. It sold its Crisco shortening, Folgers coffee, Sunny Delight and Jif peanut butter over the past few years.
Meanwhile, Procter & Gamble, raised its full-year profit outlook to reflect gains from the $1.5 billion sale of its Pringles snacks business. P&G also said it had started implementing its previously announced restructuring plans.
The company expects to report net earnings of $4.52 to $4.83 a share in 2012, up from its previous outlook of $4.17 to $4.33 a share. P&G's revised outlook includes restructuring costs.

BASF Fuel Cell supports University of South Carolina study
A University of South Carolina scientist has received a $320,000 grant from BASF Fuel Cell GmbH/Inc. to support research on high-temperature fuel cells.
Dr. Brian Benicewicz, the Center for Economic Excellence endowed chair in Polymer Nanocomposite Research, said the BASF award continues a decade of support for his research in the field of fuel-cell membranes, which often are considered the "heart" of fuel cells. "It's an excellent partnership and a model for future industry-university relationships," he said.
Benicewicz is known for his work in developing fuel-cell membranes that function at temperatures higher than most. This results in a fuel-cell system that is more durable and longer lasting. His research with BASF has resulted in the development of fuel-cell units that are being used in homes in Europe and portable power devices around the world.
He also is well known for his work in polymer nanocomposites, for which he designs new materials for electronics, optical, and other industrial applications.
Before joining the university's chemistry and Nanocenter faculty last year, Benicewicz was director of the N.Y. State Center for Polymer Synthesis and a professor at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI).

Monday, July 11 2011 - Truth Movement News
Perception, Deception Dollars -- One Decade after September 11th, 2001
by Carol Brouillet
The first Deception Dollars were printed in the autumn of 2002. They were a collaborative effort to overcome censorship of the basic facts about 9/11 that were so well concealed by the mainstream media, and to drive people to check out websites challenging the official story. Their popularity inspired many people to create better websites, as millions of Deception Dollars were passed out at anti-war rallies and marches in an attempt to prevent the unjustifiable, immoral, heartbreaking war upon Iraq. Canadian artist Blaine Machan did the artwork, maintained the Deception Dollar website and contributed greatly to the budding 9/11 Truth Movement.
Donations for Deception Dollars helped keep websites and researchers going, helped fund documentaries and film screenings and helped fund the first International Citizens' Inquiries into 9/11 in San Francisco and Toronto. The Deception Dollars evolved over time. Eventually the portrait of George W. Bush was flanked by Rove, Rumsfeld and Cheney, to be replaced by Cheney, and finally by an unknown character behind an Obama mask. Over nearly a decade, numerous websites were added and subtracted from the Deception Dollars. As new technologies have driven more people online, full-length films began to be posted online. The 9/11 Truth Movement grew and so did the problems that we faced. To raise awareness about these problems, we published Media Deception Dollars and Election Deception Dollars. As faith in government, the press and the dollar waned, in 2007 the first Conception or "Hope" Dollars were printed, pointing towards solutions and "change" that people yearned for. In 2010 we printed an evolution of the Conception Dollars, the first Perception or "Love" Dollars.
With the tenth anniversary looming on the horizon, I have been torn about where to concentrate my time and energies. It's a lot of work to publish a new edition and generally involves much collaboration between the artist and the many people who contribute their thoughts, ideas, and website suggestions, as well as dealing with the printing fund and the distribution channels. In addition, Blaine's wife, Janelle, is expecting their first child in August, which means the artwork needs to be done before the end of July. This September there will be Hearings in Toronto, One the Event, organized by Firefighters for 9/11 Truth's Erik Lawyer in Seattle, the Campaign to Remember Building 7 and air TV ads to draw people's attention to the demolition of a skyscraper that was not hit by an airplane on the afternoon of September 11th, a campaign for a ballot initiative to form a Citizens' 9/11 Commission, and multiple events in New York, Washington D.C. and in the Bay Area.
We are running out of the 11th version of the Deception Dollars. I would like to create a new version drawing attention to the deceptions behind the nuclear, oil, monetary and military industries, the most recent crises threatening all of us, that arise from the corporate quest for global dominance. While I deeply appreciate and respect the heroic efforts of many who devote the bulk of their time and attention to shattering the myth of 9/11, I can't help but see 9/11 as one big lie amongst many, the unraveling of any of which might help to dismantle the dominant empire that has so thoroughly corrupted governments, courts and institutions throughout the world. Opposition to the truth is fierce and the truth movement has been under attack for years. Decentralization and diversity have been a blessing as well as a curse in our efforts to pursue the truth. We have demonstrated over time that we can agree to disagree about certain issues or where to place our greatest emphasis, and still recognize our profound common ground.
On September 11, 1906, Gandhi and three thousand others gathered together in South Africa to launch a campaign against immoral, racist laws. Although he was inspired by Thoreau and Tolstoy, Gandhi felt that the words "civil disobedience" didn't adequately convey the meaning of direct action infused with spiritual commitment to describe their efforts, so he held a contest to find the right words to name their campaign. In this way "Satyagraha" was born, combining "Truth" and "Force" in a new, powerful way, which inspired a successful struggle in South Africa and eventually the withdrawal of the British Empire from India. It is my hope that the 9/11 Truth Movement will similarly spark and grow into a global Truth Movement that challenges and dismantles, nonviolently, the mental chains of corporate dominance and the legitimacy of corrupt governments and military forces that oppress and destroy people and the planet, blindly, for profit. Sadly, however, the nuclear, military, and oil industries have created toxic legacies which they, themselves, cannot contain or control and which threaten current and future generations. In addition to exposing the truth about 9/11, it is up to us, the ordinary people, to halt the suicidal technologies while we can.
I hope that the combined forces of people infused with love and courage will overcome the institutions reliant upon fear, greed and violence. I hope that people will reclaim their future, including gaining more control and responsibility for their lives. I hope that the Perception and Deception Dollars will nurture that effort, encouraging and informing the struggle and the shift in consciousness. Together we can do what no one of us can do alone, and I welcome ideas, insights, suggestions and assistance in creating and distributing the next generation of Perception and Deception Dollars. I hope that the greater Truth Movement will succeed and that future printings will not be necessary. I dream of a world without war, without massive environmental destruction, without institutional violence, where all people and life are respected, nurtured and entitled to a fair share of the abundant gifts that have been showered upon this beautiful planet.
If you would like to help with this project, please send your ideas, suggestions and offers my way. Carol Brouillet - cbrouillet [at} igc (dot] org. (We also will reprint paper versions of the '11 Remarkable Facts about 9/11' sheets when we reprint the Dollars, and offer a special pre-publishing rate to those who help us during the usual cashflow crunch.)

The Caffeinated World: Coca-Cola and Coffee in History, Culture, Politics, and Your Life
Coffee grows wild on the mountainsides of Ethiopia and its seeds have been roasted, brewed, and drunk by humans for at least 500 years. Making up for a history rife with controversy, slavery, and the exploitation of the developing world, coffee has become a major focus for Fair Trade. Coca-Cola, invented in 1886 as a cocaine-and-caffeine-laced nerve tonic and soda fountain beverage, is a much younger drink, but in its short history it has become as ubiquitous and controversial. At the moment, soft drinks are widely vilified as a major culprit in the obesity epidemic. Mark Pendergrast will explore this caffeinated history in an informative, entertaining, and challenging presentation. He is the author of For God, Country and Coca-Cola: The Definitive History of the Great American Soft Drink and the Company That Makes It and Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World. Moderated by New School faculty member, Andrew F. Smith.

GSA Support for the Establishment of a Consolidated Headquarters for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
March 26, 2009
Good morning, Chairman Carney, Ranking Member Bilirakis and members of the subcommittee. My name is William Guerin and I am the Recovery Executive in our newly established Recovery Program Management Office in the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), Public Buildings Service. I appreciate this opportunity to speak on behalf of GSA to support the establishment of a consolidated headquarters for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
GSA, in partnership with DHS, is now undertaking one of the largest, most complex projects in our history. We are creating a headquarters campus for DHS on the site of the former St. Elizabeths Hospital in Southeast Washington, DC. This project will create 4.5 million square feet of space with 1.5 million square feet of structured parking, to bring together the mission components DHS requires in its headquarters facility.
The site for this project is truly fitting for such an important Cabinet level agency. It is only two miles from our Capitol located on a hill with a commanding view of Washington and Northern Virginia. The site is also a National Historic Landmark, with historic buildings and landscapes, many of which will be preserved, reused, and incorporated into the Department of Homeland Security's new headquarters facility.
St. Elizabeths is the only federally owned site in Washington that is large enough to accommodate the DHS headquarters. Concomitantly, the creation of this headquarters complex presents the best opportunity available for preserving, reusing, and revitalizing this National Historic Landmark. Additionally, housing DHS on a federally owned site will save the American taxpayer up to over $600 million (in present value terms) compared with the cost of leasing the same amount of space for the next three decades. This is truly a win-win solution for the agency, for the City, the site, and the American taxpayer.
The National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) approved the Master Plan for the West Campus at its January 2009 meeting contingent on GSA's ability to construct the west access road connecting Firth Sterling Avenue, SE to the modified Malcolm X Avenue, SE/I-295 Interchange, through the Shepherd Parkway. NCPC commented favorably on the East Campus plan, but required that GSA submit an Amendment to the Final Master Plan for NCPC review and approval of both the East Campus plan and the access road improvements. The U.S. Commission of Fine Arts approved the Master Plan on November 20, 2008. Both of these Federal planning and design authorities recognized the significant improvements to the final Master Plan that were made during the consultation process to help preserve this National Historic Landmark. The Master Plan provides for the rehabilitation and reuse of 52 of a total of 62 historic buildings and the preservation of historically significant landscapes and views. This is emblematic of our agency's strong track record and commitment to historic preservation. To date, we have funded $28 million for the stabilization, evaluation and assessment of historic buildings, landscapes and archaeological features on the West Campus in anticipation of its redevelopment. GSA believes that the Master Plan strikes a measured balance between meeting the extraordinary housing needs of DHS while preserving the exceptional historic character of the National Historic Landmark.
The development costs of the DHS headquarters complex are expected to be $3.4 billion. Of this, $1.4 billion will be provided by DHS. GSA is studying how the project may provide substantial economic benefits for the community. These opportunities arise from direct employment in construction and the multiplier effect that construction activity and its payroll generate.
The new DHS headquarters will provide a tremendous economic boost to the Anacostia and Congress Heights neighborhoods, which are already experiencing a significant level of investment, thanks to the efforts of the District of Columbia Government. Construction contractors will be encouraged to establish apprenticeship programs, thereby providing job training for local residents. GSA expects that employees on site will patronize local merchants and additional jobs should be available to provide various vendor services to the site. In addition, DHS contractors may opt to locate their offices nearby, as contractors have done for other large government facilities.
The design for the U.S. Coast Guard headquarters on the St. Elizabeths Campus is underway with ongoing Section 106 consultations and there is continuous coordination with Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), National Park Service (NPS) and the District of Columbia Department of Transportation (DDOT) concerning Shepherd Parkway, a portion of which we propose to use to provide an access road off of I-295 that will accommodate 70% of the people working on site. GSA anticipates that FHWA will issue a Record of Decision (ROD) for transfer and interchange issues in July 2009.
While most of the new campus that is owned by the Federal Government will be located west of Martin Luther King, Jr. Avenue, 750,000 square feet plus structured parking will be placed on the East Campus, which is now owned by the District. The commencement of a Master Plan amendment containing a detailed analysis of the East Campus is targeted for contract award in April 2009 with a NEPA Notice of Intent (NOI) planned for May 2009.
Phase 1a construction for the DHS headquarters consolidation project, the new U.S. Coast Guard headquarters building, which GSA may commence only after complying with a set of NCPC conditions, has been funded in the FY 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act. Design work on the one million square foot building is already under way. GSA will meet with NCPC in May 2009 to review the concept design.
This development represents an important prospect of preserving many of the historic buildings and landscapes that make St. Elizabeths a National Historic Landmark and we look forward to developing this important site for the DHS.
Lastly, we would like to acknowledge the help and assistance of many people and organizations, to which we owe a debt of gratitude. The Congressional support for the project, specifically that of Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, the Department of Homeland Security, the staffs of the National Capital Planning Commission, the Commission of Fine Arts, the DC Historic Preservation Office, and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation, who coordinated so closely with GSA throughout the planning process; all the Consulting Parties, whose time, attention, input, and dedication improved the plan, and whose efforts on the successfully concluded Programmatic Agreement were invaluable; the Ward 8 community and finally the District of Columbia Office of Planning and Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development, without whose cooperation, the East Campus portion of the final Master Plan and ultimate development would not have been feasible.

Fox Panel Teams Up To Promote A Bushel Of Misinformation On Health Care Reform
Research ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
A seven-minute segment on Fox News' America Live featured a deluge of falsehoods and distortions about President Obama's health care reform record, including the false suggestion that PricewaterhouseCoopers found that health care reform is responsible for rising costs. In fact, Pricewaterhouse found that reform is "expected to have minimal impact on [the] medical cost trend in 2012."
Camerota References McKinsey Survey, Ignores That Survey Was Not Intended To Be "Predictive"
Camerota: "We've Told You About A McKinsey Report." Guest host Alisyn Camerota began the segment by stating, "President Obama's health care law facing more heat today. We've told you about a McKinsey report saying nearly a third of American employers could drop their health care plans." [Fox News, America Live, 6/21/11]
McKinsey & Co.: "The Survey Was Not Intended As A Predictive Economic Analysis." Following pressure to release its methodology, McKinsey & Company released a statement on June 20 saying that it "stand[s] by the integrity and methodology of the survey," but that it "was not intended as a predictive economic analysis." [McKinsey & Company, 6/20/11]
Research Expert Likened McKinsey Survey To "Push Polling." Floyd Fowler, "a Senior ResearchFellow at the Center for Survey Research at University of Massachusetts, Boston, and author of the book Survey Research Methods," said of the McKinsey survey:
"There is no doubt that the answers one would get after priming respondents the way they did would be expected to include more expressed interest in the possibility of not insuring employees than a question asked in a nonprimed context."
"[T]he fact that someone spent time thinking up, then outlining to corporations, ways to circumvent the law in such amazing ways seems like a pretty good story all by itself," Fowler says. "... What is intriguing to me is whether in fact they may have increased corporation interest in exploring ways to avoid providing insurance to their employees by the act of suggesting these possible approaches. In the political polling world, as you probably know, push polling is used to plant ideas in voters' heads: If I told you that CANDIDATE A has had two abortions and stopped going to church at an early age, who would you be most likely to vote for: A or B? Such a question will change the distribution of answers, but also may disseminate ideas about candidate A." [Talking Points Memo, 6/23/11]
Fox Has Relentlessly Hyped McKinsey Survey. Numerous Fox News hosts, including Camerota, have promoted the McKinsey survey's findings, but have ignored the company's statement that it "was not intended as a predictive economic analysis." [Media Matters, 6/21/11]
Fox Business' Casone Falsely Suggests PWC Study Found Reform Is Responsible For Rising Health Care Costs
Casone: "Look At What The Costs Are Doing To American Companies." From the June 21 edition of Fox News' America Live:
CAMEROTA: Cheryl, I want to start with you. Are employers just using this new health care reform as an excuse to be stingy and to cut costs, or will their costs really rise because of the new health care law?
CHERYL CASONE (Fox Business anchor): No, I mean, look, the CBO gave us one amount of numbers, they gave us some numbers. PricewaterhouseCoopers -- I'm going with their numbers. Absolutely not. Look at what the costs are doing to American companies. They are rising. In 2011, 7 1/2 percent to 8 percent rise in what it costs a company to cover the benefits for an employee. Absolutely not.
This is not funny business, this is not an excuse. This is business. You are in business, not charity. This is not welfare. Of course they want to give their employees health benefits, but if you can't afford to stay in business, if you can't afford to keep that employee on the books, you're going to have to let them go or you're going to have to let go of the health care coverage for said employee. That's the numbers. [Fox News, America Live, 6/21/11]
In Fact, PricewaterhouseCoopers Found Reform Is "Expected To Have Minimal Impact On Medical Cost Trend In 2012." From a PricewaterhouseCoopers report on medical cost trends for 2012:
Health reform expected to have minimal impact on medical cost trend in 2012
Most of the major provisions under the PPACA are in the future. The Medicaid expansions, health insurance exchanges, subsidies to buy private insurance, mandates for employers to offer insurance, and mandates for individuals to buy it -- all of these take place in 2014 or later.
The provisions that took place prior to 2012, such as elimination of lifetime limits, dependent coverage through age 26, and no preventative benefits without cost sharing won't affect trend in 2012, because they were small changes and employers will have fully adjusted to them before 2012.
As shown in Figure 12, three key provisions take place in 2012:
- Funding for states to develop health insurance exchanges, which will open in 2014. It's still uncertain how health insurance exchanges will affect healthcare costs but the effects will begin in 2014 or later.
- Medicare ACOs begin to operate. This program, which allows providers to share in savings on Medicare beneficiaries, could have a spillover effect if an ACO's efficiencies are passed on to privately insured patients as well.
- Reductions in Medicare Inpatient PPS Update. The update factor will be reduced to account for increased productivity.
Only the last item -- a reduction in the Medicare inpatient hospital annual -- update has potential to increase medical trend in 2012. All things considered, 2012 appears to be a slow year for health reform, at least from the standpoint of impact on medical trend.

Casone Falsely Claims Obama "Wouldn't Do" Cost Control, Tort Reform
Casone: "The Issue Came Up, He Wouldn't Do It." From America Live:
CASONE: You know, Doug, he wouldn't discuss cost control. I mean, the issue came up, he wouldn't do it. People talked about tort reform, the president wouldn't do it. [Fox News, America Live, 6/21/11]
TNR's Cohn: Health Care Reform Law Includes Cost Controls. New Republic senior editor Jonathan Cohn wrote:
The Affordable Care Act represents a serious and realistic approach to controlling the cost of medicine -- one that would be even more serious and realistic if the long-term budget changes President Barack Obama just recommended become law.
Like [Rep. Paul] Ryan's plan, the Affordable Care Act attempts to restrict the federal government's contribution toward health care expenses, via constraints limiting the growth in Medicare (although not Medicaid) costs as well as the tax subsidy working-age Americans get for employer-sponsored insurance. But the constraints are looser. For example, unlike Ryan's plan, which uses a fixed-value voucher to set Medicare spending, the health law sets less restrictive growth targets (which the president's debt plan would further tighten) and then calls upon an independent commission -- the Independent Payment Advisory Board -- to recommend reforms when Medicare costs exceed those targets. IPAB's recommendations can change what Medicare pays the providers of care, but the board, by law, cannot alter Medicare benefits or eligibility.
In addition, the health law's formula doesn't attempt to reduce spending by focusing exclusively on direct cuts to individual beneficiaries. On the contrary, the law distributes spending reductions across the health care system, affecting virtually everybody -- whether it's reducing Medicare payments to hospitals, eliminating extra subsidies for private Medicare Advantage plans or demanding greater rebates from pharmaceutical companies that contract with government insurance programs.
Most important, the Affordable Care Act doesn't merely limit health care spending, in the faint hope that consumers, on their own, will produce a more efficient market. The law also introduces reforms that will put in place technological infrastructure and financial incentives to promote higher quality care. To some extent, that means sweeping, system-wide changes like the introduction of electronic medical records or the creation of an institute that will determine which treatments work better than others. But it also means dozens of more narrowly focused efforts, like a new public-private partnership to promote quality care or pilot programs in "smart malpractice reform." The idea is to experiment with virtually every payment reform experts have tried successfully on a small scale, in the hopes of replicating the successful ones across the country. [The New Republic, 4/14/11]
AP: "Obama Pushes For Curbs On Malpractice Lawsuits." From a February 16 Associated Press article headlined "Obama pushes for curbs on malpractice lawsuits":
Putting his own stamp on a long-standing Republican priority, President Obama is launching a drive to overhaul state medical malpractice laws and cut down on wasteful tests doctors perform because they fear lawsuits.
Obama's budget calls for $250 million in Justice Department grants to help states rewrite their malpractice laws in line with recommendations that his bipartisan debt reduction commission issued last year.
Obama first indicated an interest in the issue during the marathon debate over his health care law. But all that actually wound up in the law was $25 million in grants to study the problem and potential solutions.
It's different this time, administration officials said. The new proposal calls for 10 times more money, and the grants would be used to change laws, not conduct more studies. [The Associated Press, 2/16/11]
Fox's Siegel Portrays Comparative Effectiveness Initiatives As "Rationing," Ignores That Rationing Is Already Happening
Siegel: Government Will "Issue More And More Regulations, More And More Committees Are Coming Out. That's Called Rationing." From America Live:
DR. MARC SIEGEL (Fox News medical contributor): And by the way, the whole Paul Ryan plan came about because of two words called "comparative effectiveness," where the federal government, as they panic and try to control costs with them spiraling out of control -- you know what they do? They start to issue more and more regulations, more and more committees are coming out. That's called rationing.
So, our best technology is going to be in huge trouble. Patients aren't going to get the services they're used to getting. That's why the Ryan plan started. Because he didn't believe that one treatment was better than another. Doctors need choices to make. [Fox News, America Live, 6/21/11]
But U.S. Insurance Companies Already Ration Care. WellPoint chief medical officer Dr. Sam Nussbaum said that "where the private sector has been far more effective than government programs is in limiting clinical services to those that are best meeting the needs of patients." [NPR, Morning Edition, 7/15/09] Moreover, in Senate testimony, Wendell Potter, a former senior executive at the health insurance company CIGNA, detailed ways in which the insurance industry makes cost-based coverage decisions, including how "insurers routinely dump policyholders who are less profitable or who get sick" and "also dump small businesses whose employees' medical claims exceed what insurance underwriters expected." [Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, 7/24/09]
Fox Has Fearmongered That IPAB Will Lead To "Rationing." Fox & Friends gave platforms to Fox News contributor Andrea Tantaros and former Republican Rep. John Shadegg to claim that the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) created by the health care reform law would lead to "rationing." [Fox News,Fox & Friends, 4/21/11; 5/18/11] In fact, the law specifically prohibits IPAB from making "any recommendations to ration health care ... or otherwise restrict benefits." [Media Matters, 10/12/10; Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, accessed 6/23/11]

Well into the 20th century, many of those who arrived on these shores in search of economic opportunities first settled in America's cities. Cities provided entry jobs and inexpensive housing for waves of immigrants. Today, a drive through the Maryland and Virginia suburbs of our nation's capital reveals a starkly different phenomenon: The suburbs have replaced cities as the destination of choice for many of the same reasons—inexpensive housing and economic opportunity.
While the new energy, creativity, and cuisines are welcome additions to the rich stew that is America, change has not been without its frictions, especially when it comes to housing. The standard detached Cape Cod tucked in a cul-de-sac without sidewalks seldom meets the cultural needs of the newest residents.
Almost everything about much of the suburban housing built after the World War II works against the kinds of connections that support a healthy, stable community: Schools are seldom walkable or even accessible by bike, markets and health services are distant, houses of worship scattered, and mass transit minimal.
Alienation is the common theme for both the new arrivals and those who have aged in place. Zoning often has exacerbated the problem by separating our activities. The 19th-century Ukrainian steelworker living in Pittsburgh could walk to work and come home for lunch. Today's immigrant from Eritrea has to leave home before sunup to travel to a job at the very time fuel prices are approaching record levels.
The current lull in the housing market is an opportunity to take a broader view that sees suburban housing not in isolation, but as the anchor of emerging vibrant, diverse, and walkable communities—communities in which work, recreation, transportation, and schooling are mutually reinforcing threads of a larger healthy fabric. Jane Jacobs, whose The Death and Life of Great American Cities was published 51 years ago this year, would have understood that community is not about development, but about the expansion of opportunities. To transform the mistakes of postwar housing that reduced economic and social opportunities into tomorrow's vibrant communities will require the collaboration of government, banks, and the home building industry. It's a discussion about the future of America's suburbs in which architects are increasingly leading the way.

It could be Iceland's extreme Nature that forged an artist as singular as
Erna Ómarsdóttir
, the author of powerful and disturbing performances in which dance becomes an instinctively physical, animal-like act and merges with an extreme type of music that comes from the gut. Ómarsdóttir considers this highly personal way of using the voice as "dancing with the voice". She explains: "The voice is a muscle. This is the natural development of my work, it joins the movement or cuts through it transforming the space as well. I believe using the voice brings me closer to the soul. I like to experiment with the differences in the structures of all sounds, acoustic effects that come from the lowest of the depths, from the strangest and most unfamiliar recesses of the body. I let movement determine the voice but the opposite too. I abandon myself to the contrast between a satanic voice or the innocent singing of young girls, I allow myself to be permeated by all the instinctive sounds of man and animals, but I extrapolate them from a narrative context and recompose them in a soundscape…" (A. Cacciagrano and P. Di Matteo, "Art'o").
Trained at the school of Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, the Performing Arts Research and Training Studios in Brussels, where the most advanced techniques of contemporary dance interact with the other artistic disciplines, in particular with theatre and music, for several years she worked with Jan Fabre's company, which choreographed a solo for her,
My Movements are alone like Street Dogs,
that toured around the world, and finally with Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui and Alain Platel's Les Ballets C de la B. Today Erna Ómarsdóttir is an independent artist and divides her time between her native city, Reykjavik, and the cradle of her most significant artistic experiences, Brussels. In recent years, her creations, which she authors and interprets, have grown out of collaborations with musicians, such as Jóhann Jóhannsson and Valdimar Jóhannsson:
IBM 1401 (a user manual)
in 2002,
The Mysteries of Love
in 2005 and her latest work,
We saw monsters
, presented in a new version for the Biennale.
We Saw Monsters,
the Icelandic choreographer and performer seeks to get in touch with the primordial roots of our fears: "Monsters are often created in our minds out of fear of life, nature, darkness, the unknown and death – she writes. Thus we sometimes inadvertently give form to an abstract idea we have of terror. Over time, the parts are reversed and the real monsters that exist in modern society become the true cause of terror… Appearances can be deceiving and the boundaries between reality and imagination can become blurred". Created as part of the
(European Network of Performing Arts) project, the network of partnerships initiated by the
Biennale di Venezia
with European festivals and institutions active in the field of live performances,
We Saw Monsters
, co-produced by the Biennaleand the
Berliner Festspiele – Spielzeit'europa
, is a work in which dance, song, music and the visual arts come together in a single, poetic artistic expression.

A boat-wounded manatee rescued Feb. 21 from Fanning Springs is in relatively good health and is scheduled to be a candidate for release into the wild in a few weeks, according to representatives from Sea World Orlando.
About a dozen volunteers and team members from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission rescued the mammal after it was noticed that the manatee had a gash on its back and was having trouble breathing. Rescuers took the animal by truck to Sea World for rehabilitation.

were i am stuck is that i can not find any reg entries related too it. does anyone have any experience with doing this?
Do you have WZC service disabled?
Even though Access Connections does not use WZC, the OS on boot wants a "ready" signal for the WLAN card. Which WZC has to provide. No WZC means no signal, so it has to wait to time out. Just set the service to automatic.

New York City To Host ThinkSwiss: Geneve Meets New York 3/6-12
Political leaders and cultural thinkers, writers and journalists, dancers and musicians, visual artists and scientists will converge to explore the remarkable global impact of a singular European city when New York City hosts ThinkSwiss: Genève Meets New York, March 6-12, 2012.
On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Geneva's own Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the Consulate General of Switzerland in New York and the City of Geneva will present more than 10 events at venues throughout Manhattan, highlighting ideas born in Geneva that continue to reverberate far beyond its borders. Venues include The New York Public Library, New York University, Cooper Union, the American Red Cross, The Kitchen and Merkin Hall, among others.
"L'Esprit de Genève" ("the Spirit of Geneva"), a cultural force that began 500 years ago, still has great relevance in the 21st century. Rousseau was absolutely a product of the unique atmosphere of this city of citizen-scholars; his Social Contract speaks directly to today's protest movements, from Occupy Wall Street and to the popular side of the Tea Party Movement, while his part treaty, part novel Emile has inspired modern philosophies of education. Geneva hosts the European headquarters of the United Nations and many of the world's most important humanitarian organizations, and is also the birthplace of the Red Cross, one of the 19th century's most original, adaptable, and lasting achievements. Its past and its present have made the city a powerful incubator for ideas of worldwide sweep and scale.
"The ideas Geneva has unleashed upon the world are not mere artifacts. They lie at the core of Swiss and American identity. They are alive and well and continue to shape our lives," said Ambassador François Barras, Consul General of Switzerland in New York. "Pro-democracy movements from Egypt to Wall Street are transforming Rousseau's ideas for the 21st century. Meanwhile, the Red Cross is adapting itself to a new landscape due to the changing nature of war. Now is a critical time to discuss and debate the contemporary relevance of these ideas."
"As we trace l'Esprit de Genève through the spheres of politics, education, science, music, dance, and film we draw closer to its true character," said Pierre Maudet, Mayor of the City of Geneva. "We come to know the aesthetic, the sense of humor, the sensibility that nurtured and gave birth to extraordinary thinkers such as Jean Calvin, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Albert Gallatin, and Henry Dunant."
The festival is made possible by the generous support of our premier sponsors: Vacheron Constantin, Swiss Manufacture of fine timepieces since 1755, and Ports Francs, storage space for valuable goods and logistic hub, Support also given by Geneva Financial Center, Swiss, FLUX, and Novotel New York.

Wednesday, March 7, 7 p.m.
American Red Cross, 520 West 49th Street (between 10th and 11th Avenues)
Free and open to the public. RSVP required: firstname.lastname@example.com
Participants: Philip Gourevitch (The New Yorker), Roger Mayou (Director, Musée International de la Croix Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge), Gabor Rona (International Legal Director, Human Rights First), Colonel David A. Wallace (Head of the Department of Law, U.S. Military Academy, West Point)
Moderator: Walter A. Füllemann (ICRC Head of Delegation to the UN)
Today, the humanitarian principles of the Red Cross and major relief agencies are greatly challenged by the changing nature of warfare around the world. The distinction between combatant and noncombatant has blurred to the extent that it is increasingly difficult to distinguish one from the other. What becomes then of impartiality, neutrality, and the humane treatment of victims, the core principles of the Red Cross and of humanitarian law which originated in Geneva? For more information.
Thursday, March 8, 7 p.m.

The NYU Presidential Medal Ceremony Honoring Michel Butor
A Conversation between Michel Butor and Lois Oppenheim (Professor, chairperson, Department of Modern Languages and Literatures, Montclair State University)
What is L'Esprit de Genève? How has it influenced two prominent figures in their respective political and literary lives? America's Swiss founding father, Albert Gallatin, emigrated from Geneva in the 1780s and helped secure this country's independence and establish NYU. Former Dean of the Faculty of Letters at the University of Geneva and professor in several American universities, avant-garde novelist, poet and essayist Michel Butor has created an astonishing body of work inspired by the relationship between word and space. NYU pays tribute to the accomplishments of these two men, whose beliefs and actions have been shaped by L'Esprit de Genève, 200 years apart. For more information.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Emile, or On Education profoundly influenced modern philosophies of education by laying the foundation for a system emphasizing human goodness, learning by doing, and a return to nature. Is an intensive education essential to a child's development? How does nature fit into high-tech education? Are innate abilities and learned skills in conflict? Join theorists and practitioners for a discussion, led by Adam Gopnik, on the relevance of Rousseau's ideas in contemporary pedagogy. Delicacies from Geneva will be served. Followed by a 30-minute roundtable, How to Read Rousseau in the 21st Century, led by François Jacob (Director, Voltaire Institute and Museum, Geneva). For more information.
