Unequal political influence and citizen nonparticipation are the unforgivable sins of American governance
By Jeff Johnson
Our Constitutional Framers left a number of serious political inequality issues to be sorted out by later generations. One was slavery, a problem it took a civil war to resolve. Another was who should be allowed to vote, a right gradually expanded to include non-property-owning, non-white, non-males.
Yet another, and the subject of this article, is the issue of unequal political influence. Notwithstanding the sentiment expressed in the Declaration of Independence that All Men Are Created Equal, the vast majority of people in this nation have little influence over their government compared to those relatively few that exert disproportionate power.
There are two causes of this inequality, and the Occupy Movement is concerned with both. The first is that most people choose not to participate in their own governance; the second is that our campaign finance and lobbying systems allow a relatively few people to exert political influence well beyond their numbers.
The People Have Abdicated:
How to Engage Citizens in Their Own Government
Regarding nonparticipation as a cause of political inequality, a pillar of the Occupy Movement is the attempt to include people in the process of self-governing, through General Assemblies, Working Groups, and the leaderless organizational arrangement has been so derided. Occupy has, in its own political micorosm, created a structure, which if expanded on a national scale, could help solve the lack of participation in government that otherwise makes having a democracy irrelevant.
But that is a big if. To accomplish meaningful participation, the following must be overcome: people don't care, they feel helpless; they don't have time; and they are not informed.
The People Don't Care, But They Can Be Inspired
People need to be inspired. Individuals like Tyler Crane, who organized Occupy Kansas City, and Mary Lindsay, who leads the local chapter of Move to Amend, are good examples who, through their immense energy and optimism, inspire others to get involved and make a difference. They are like missionaries of democratic action to the masses. We should assist and otherwise support such people who, because they are ordinary citizens and are impassioned about being involved in the community, can be highly effective at inspiring legions of otherwise complacent people to become more active citizens.
The People Feel Helpless, But They Can Be Empowered
People are convinced that they cannot make a difference; that they cannot compete with corporate political marketing. This contributes to a sense of cynicism, and discourages citizen involvement, which becomes a huge, self-fulfilling prophecy and a powerful gift from the people to the ruling class. Ratification of a constitutional amendment that would limit corporate control of campaigns will help greatly, and by sheer numbers, the people should be unstoppable. But modern political habits undermine the power of the people in two ways: divisiveness, and undervaluing local political involvement.
Unity vs. Division
Division tends to take precedence over unity. Political "discourse" modeled by media talking heads is factional at best and outright hateful at worst. And this counterproductive method is so pervasive through American politics that even groups that should unite do not because they are too stubborn to look past their own views.
If, for example, the Tea Party and Occupy were truly savvy, they would rush to align on the areas where they agree, get those things accomplished, and sort out the rest later, in the same manner that the Framers found enough common ground to write a Constitution while setting aside the trouble spots for the future. And yes, there are areas of agreement between Tea Partiers and Occupiers.
Ideally, our culture should establish a common sense rule of courtesy that every political discourse end by focusing on a point of agreement. This would reduce the animosity between people of differing views, and it would serve to reinforce the common ground. Sounds like pie in the sky, unless one thinks of it as part of a civics curriculum in school. Along with teaching how the three branches of government interact, we would teach young people how much more productive politically it is to always find common ground, instead of focusing entirely on where we differ.
Local vs. National
Another modern political habit that undermines the power of the people is the unfortunate tendency to undervalue local political action, especially as compared to national politics. People have limited time, and directing too much attention to the national spotlight detracts from the input people might otherwise have on their local scene. The Republican presidential primary contest is essentially American Idol, an apparently highly entertaining spectacle, but largely disconnected from the political reality of people at home.
When Supreme Court Justice Steven Breyer spoke recently in Kansas City, he did not mention the Citizens United case as a threat to democracy. Nor did he emphasize the importance of voting for President. His concern was that people need to be "involved in their community's life." "Otherwise," he said "the document, the Constitution, will not work."
To ignore this warning, and to focus on division instead of unity, is to self-dilute to ineffectiveness the power that should be in the hands of the people.
The People Don't Have Time, But They Can Be Accommodated
As admirable as is the dedication of local activists Crane and Lindsay, it is not reasonable to expect all citizens to devote as much time and energy to community action. Many people have very little free time available. How can these people participate meaningfully in their community's life? A solution could involve tools such as social media and remote video in order to streamline involvement. Perhaps it is not practical to expect people to physically assemble in order to participate in the political process. The technology available to us, combined with the motivation and innovation of activists, should produce a method for large percentages of people to participate together, but remotely, in making decisions that affect everyone.
The People Are Not Informed, But They Can Be Taught
People cannot effectively participate in self-government if they are not properly informed on the issues. Civics instruction in American schools is inadequate. This should be a renewed priority. Students should understand the importance of involvement, and they should understand how the government is supposed to work and how they can participate.
Occupy should continue with Teach-Ins. It is a fantastic way to engage people in the process of becoming an informed citizen. As the Movement continues to organize, the Education Workgroups should increase in importance, and certain individuals should be tapped to regularly instruct. As people join, they often ask how they can contribute. One way to engage each person that wants to contribute is to give them the assignment of becoming well-versed enough on a subject of local political importance that they can instruct others on that issue. That way, part of an involvement in the Movement is an ongoing process of teaching each other.
Political disenfranchisement in this country is largely self-imposed. The solution is greater than legislation, Constitutional Amendments and court rulings. The solution to political inequality requires getting citizens involved in the political process.
Unless people participate in their community, and therefore know what the community's needs and resources are, it will not matter whether corporations can or can not spend unlimited amounts to influence elections. We complain while the Supreme Court carefully protects the Freedom of Speech of Corporations. Yet, through complacency, we waste freedoms we are born into while Syrians die fighting against real repression.
The People Have Been Usurped:
Time to Counter Improper Influence in Government
Occupiers complain that too much wealth is controlled by too few people; that this extreme inequality of wealth gives unfair political advantage to the rich; and that corporate money and lobbyist efforts drown out the input of ordinary citizens in the political process. The perception by citizens that they cannot compete with corporate political marketing contributes to a sense of cynicism, further marginalizing citizen involvement.
The problems are stated accurately, but the solutions are not self evident. Regarding solutions, many within Occupy say that we should "get money out of politics", and that we should – through a Constitutional Amendment – undo the Supreme Court decision of Citizens United and its precedent, that we should establish that "money is not speech" and "corporations are not people."
The first idea – getting money out of politics – sounds appealing, but in reality is not a solution. The second – rejecting the Citizens United decision and its precedent through Constitutional Amendment – is a very good idea, but on its own would not solve our campaign finance and political influence problems.
There is no doubt that an unrestrained flood of money into elections is unhealthy for American democracy. But to say that we should fix campaign finance by "getting money out of politics" is as useful as saying that we should end obesity by getting calories out of food. Just as every sustainable diet still involves eating, so too, politics will always involve money. If Citizen Joe puts up a couple of signs in his yard saying "Vote for Schmoe," he is spending money to support a candidate, and this should be protected speech. It should also be protected speech when a candidate wants (or his supporters want) to collect money so as to put up a bunch of signs saying "Vote for Schmoe."
There is no good reason to prohibit reasonable political spending. The hard part is finding the healthy and workable middle ground between good-for-democracy spending and an unlimited torrent of corrupting cash.
Interestingly, the "middle ground" that Missouri has staked out allows unlimited contributions to candidates, but requires disclosure of who made the donation and where they work. So when potential Republican candidate for Governor David Pence received a $100,000 contribution last month, Missourians could readily see, via the state's online database, that the check came from Capital executive Robert O'Brien. Those arguing in favor of Missouri's unlimited donation scheme say that the money would get to the candidates secretly if limits were in place. This way, they argue, citizens know who is giving and how much, and they can evaluate the candidate based on his disclosed donors.
This arrangement that Missouri has settled on is presumably perfectly acceptable to our Supreme Court. Whereas, when Vermonters attempted to limit campaign donations, the court decided that their limits were too low and struck down the statute.
Congress and the states have over time made various attempts to strike a balance in reforming campaign finance. The courts have frequently interfered with those efforts. The recent Citizens United case is one of the most disruptive interferences, and one result is a chorus of proposals for a Constitutional Amendment to override this judicial limitation on campaign finance reform. Citizens United struck down a provision in the Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act (also known as the McCain-Feingold Act of 2002) that prohibited corporations from using their treasury funds to pay for broadcast ads for or against a candidate within 60 days before an election (or within 30 days before a primary).
The modern lead-up to this controversy began in 1974 following the Watergate scandal. Congress passed the Federal Election Commission Act, which placed limits on political contributions and on campaign spending. In 1976, the Supreme Court in Buckley v. Valeo let stand the FECA contribution limits, but struck down the spending limits because of free speech considerations. The Court also invalidated regulation of money spent on ads that do not explicitly suggest a vote for or against a candidate, known as "issue ads." The political result of this "money equals speech" doctrine was that eventually large amounts of unregulated money were being spent during campaigns on ads that were obviously for and against certain candidates, but since the ads did not use specific phrases like "vote for," they were legal. McCain-Feingold was passed in part as an attempt to close this "soft money" gap in campaign regulation.
In declaring this part of McCain-Feingold unconstitutional1, the Supreme Court chose not to distinguish between corporations and actual persons for the purposes of free speech in campaign spending. This case did not establish corporate personhood, but broke from a line of precedent that did allow for limitation of corporate intrusion into elections. And although it is true that getting money completely out of politics is impractical, and not even desirable, it is absolutely true that getting corporate money out of politics is critical. Justice Stevens wrote in his Citizens United dissent that "the Court's opinion is…a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have recognized a need to prevent corporations from undermining self government since the founding, and who have fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the days of Theodore Roosevelt."
Now, what is needed is an entirely new framework for financing elections if we want to level the playing field for potential candidates, and an entirely new set of rules restricting lobbying if we want to provide for meaningful citizen input in the political process. A campaign finance concept similar to what is known as Clean Elections is needed, and strict anti-revolving-door rules should be adopted, but this will require more than a Constitutional Amendment that overrides Citizens United, or that merely eliminates corporate money from elections.
This does not mean that it is a waste of resources to support, for example, Move to Amend, an organization promoting a Constitutional Amendment to declare that money is not speech and that corporations are not people. To the contrary, it is important that everyone support this and all efforts working toward ending political inequality imbedded in our flawed campaign finance system. However, a wider solution is needed, way beyond just addressing the Supreme Court's limitations set by Citizens United v. FEC and Buckley v. Valeo.
Fn. 1. With the exception of Thomas' idiotic partial dissent, at least the majority in Citizens United did not disagree with every portion of McCain-Feingold at issue in the case.

You've most likely never heard of Smiley Creek, Idaho, but odds are your familiar with its surrounding terrain. Situated between Stanley and Sun Valley, Smiley Creek marks the trail head for a zone that has become better known over the last three years as Prospecting Idaho, Smith Optics' private playground for everything from R&D, product testing, team camp, and a fountainhead for endless video and print assets. The zone, which was first made famous in the Robot Food films back in the day, has become ground zero for ground breaking riding and every product and marketing team's wet dream.
Following the 2012 TransWorld Snow Conference, we had the opportunity to join Smith Senior Promotions Manager Cory Smith and the rest of the crew to sample some of the goods and learn more about how leasing this 900 acre private zone, including a house off the highway and two yurts at the base of the actual valley in the company's backyard is benefiting its operations.
People want to be a part of the project, we've had riders quit their other goggle sponsor so they can go up to the zone and ride, film and hang out. – Cory Smith

Missed Miscarriage
I experienced a miscarriage last year, it occurred during my first trimester and I didn't experience any signs or symptoms signaling a problem with my pregnancy. During my third visit to my doctor he told me that I had miscarried and used the term "Missed Miscarriage". I was unable to inquire about this term as I was very emotional. I would like to find out what the term "Missed Miscarriage" refers to.
27th March 2014 07:55 AM #2
Dear proactivejo3,
Welcome to the Pregnancy, Birth and Beyond forum. We are pleased to have you join us on here.
I'm so very sorry to hear that you experienced a miscarriage last year. It is a tragic loss which often stays with parents forever. A 'missed miscarriage' can be even more difficult to come to terms with because it can come as a greater shock.
A missed miscarriage is sometimes called a silent miscarriage. This refers to a miscarriage where there are no symptoms of the miscarriage (such as bleeding or abdominal cramps/pain). It may be first diagnosed at the first scan appointment. Sadly sometimes a baby will not continue to develop in pregnancy and sometimes a pregnancy sac develops with no embryo present (the later is known as an anembryonic pregnancy or blighted ovum and this can also be a missed miscarriage).
It is thought then many miscarriages occur because there is an incorrect number of chromosomes in the embryo for the baby to develop normally. It is hardly ever caused by anything the mum did or did not do.
Again, please let me say I am so sorry for what you have been through. What a terrible shock as well as dealing with the feelings of loss and sadness. I wonder if you will find this article helpful about remembering our lost babies.
With warm wishes,

Students bring Wagner's music to life
By Liz McCarthy, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-2848
Before the scholars arrive, before The New Yorker's Alex Ross begins his speech, before any academic analysis is given, the USC Symphony Orchestra, led by students, will bring Richard Wagner's music to life.
Several students will conduct the show (at 7:30 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 27, at the Koger Center for the Arts), presenting "The Ride of the Valkyries" and excerpts from "Tristan und Isolde."
While students conduct concerts a few times a year, presenting a concert of Wagner's music is quite different, the students say.
"It's not every day you get to stand in front of that many musicians because Wagner uses huge forces – six horns, four trombones, tubas, six woodwinds, massive string orchestra," says Robert Brown, a second-year master's student in orchestral conducting in the School of Music. "It's quite exhilarating."
Wagner's music also carries great emotions and mass appeal, students say. The music can be intense and powerful or tender and sensuous, says Cullan Lucas, a first-year master's student in orchestral conducting.
"It's something everyone is familiar with whether they're fans of opera or they just love Bugs Bunny cartoons," Lucas says. "It's something people can instantly relate to and as a conductor, that's fun because you're getting to create that music."
The symphony's performance is just the beginning of many Wagner events for WagnerWorldWide: America conference at the university. The conference is part of a multi-year global initiative by the University of Bayreuth, and will examine the influence Wagner's life and work have had on music and culture of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
The College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Music are co-sponsoring the events around campus.

Yeah like I said understand your point completely dude.
I don't know enough about Paul Daley's history or the history of the other people mentioned in this thread to know whether what i am going to say is an issue in this case. However, I would think that the underlying principle would be that if we are trying to evaluate whether or not an indefinite ort lifetime ban is fair we would need to know what that person's track record was in relation to offences similar to the one that led to the ban.
Any opinions I express on this forum are entirely personal opinions and it should not be assumed that they reflect the official view of any organisations I am connected with
Paul Daley will never be back. his best bet is Bellator and events like BAMMA that can pay him to fight average brazilian and polish fighters.
Dana sia said women would never fight in the UFC . Look what happend ther if daily has gd fights he will be back

text: Testers & Dev, As a few of you have already noticed, we have some new ISOs now up on the mirrors: http://mirrors.isc.org/pub/pcbsd/9.1-RELEASE/ These are the first images built of PC-BSD Rolling Release, based upon FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE, which use PKGNG as the backend for keeping your desktop and base-system packages up to date. You are welcome to download and give them a spin if you want to help us beta-test them. They include updated packages from about 2 weeks ago, which includes KDE 4.9.5 among others. Our build server is still finishing up building the entire package repository and I hope to have all ~20k pkgng packages online in another week or so, with weekly updates after that. The weekly updates will include all the latest PC-BSD / TrueOS utilities, so you can expect to see much more frequent bug fixes & enhancements. For users running on the original PC-BSD / TrueOS 9.1 release, I also have an online system update in the works. This update will convert your existing install to PKGNG and allow you to start tracking the rolling release, the same as if you installed a fresh copy from our new ISOs. Once I've finished a bit more testing & bugfixing with it, I will post back with details on how to try it out. I'm hopeful it will be sometime next week. Lastly, I also wanted to let you know that with this change, it will be possible convert an existing "FreeBSD" 9.1-Release into a PC-BSD or TrueOS system. I've started writing instructions on the PC-BSD wiki page with details: http://wiki.pcbsd.org/index.php/Turn_FreeBSD_into_PC-BSD%C2%AE Last but not least, we have some new hardware coming in soon which I will quickly get working on building a PC-BSD -STABLE release, and then -CURRENT. More details as they arrive :) Happy testing, and please post your feedback to the list so we can get to work quashing bugs. -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software iXsystems -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Number of weekend blazes keeps area fire crews busy
October 1, 2012
Two fires off Wolf Creek Road, most likely sparked by a tree that fell into a power line, kept fire crews busy through the night Sunday.
The first fire was reported just after 9 p.m. in the 18000 block of Wolf Creek Road, said Nevada County Consolidated Fire Division Chief David Ray.
Firefighters from Cal Fire, Nevada County Consolidated and Higgins responded to the scene to find a tree in power lines, with a 30-by-30 spot fire with arcing lines, Ray said.
PG&E was contacted but said it would not be able to respond for about 45 minutes, Ray said.
"All we could do was stay away from the lines and let the fire come to us and control the fire itself, until they cut the power," Ray said.
That fire was contained at about 11:30 p.m., Ray said.
While firefighters were working, they noticed a "glow" in the area and found a second fire on Leopard Court, Rat said.
They investigated and found a 5-acre fire, likely also caused by the power line issue.
Additional engines, dozers and crew were called out by Cal Fire, and that fire was contained at about midnight.
"Crews spent the rest of the night mopping up, making sure there was no additional fire spread," Ray said, adding that the very steep terrain and number of logs and snags in the area made fighting the fire difficult.
Fires on the Ridge
There were several small fires on the San Juan Ridge over the weekend as well, including a 1-acre fire off Tyler-Foote Road Friday evening that was handled by Cal Fire and North San Juan firefighters.
On Saturday, there were several re-kindled hot spots from a suspected arson fire on Farrell Ravine Way off Jackass Flats Road that dated back to mid-August, said North San Juan Fire spokesman Tracy Corris.
"The roots systems can smolder for weeks, especially when it's so dry," Corris said. "It can take a while before it pops up."

NHL: Kopitar scores twice, Muzzin gets first NHL goal and L.A. earns first win.
By John Marshall
The Associated Press
GLENDALE, Ariz. - The Kings got their top line going and their first win of the season.
Anze Kopitar scored two goals to spark the Kings' No. 1 line and the defending Stanley Cup champions beat the Phoenix Coyotes 4-2 Saturday night.
"Kopi was good, goal scorers scored," Kings coach Darryl Sutter said. "It was the difference in the game, right?
Scoreless through the season's first three games, the Kings' line of Kopitar, Dustin Brown and Justin Williams had an extra jump against the Coyotes, combining for four points. Kopitar scored both of his goals in the second period, with Brown and Williams getting an assist on each.
Jake Muzzin scored his first NHL goal and had an assist and Jeff Carter also scored for the Kings, who had eight players with at least a point and matched their season total for goals to avoid their first four-game winless start since 1997-98.
"Every time you're on the road, you need a team game," Kopitar said. "I know everybody's saying that, but that's just how it is. You need to roll four lines."
Mikkel Boedker and Shane Doan scored for the Coyotes, who have allowed 20 goals in five games.
The Kings and Coyotes already didn't like each other much and the hatred intensified during a testy Western Conference finals last season.
The Kings won the series in five games on the way to their first Stanley Cup, but not before the teams traded blows, including a hit by Brown in the clinching game that knocked Phoenix defenseman Michal Rozsival out and left the Coyotes fuming.
The atmosphere wasn't quite the same as the conference finals rematch, but it certainly was entertaining.
Kopitar gave the Kings' top line its first points of the season in the second period, taking a pass from Brown and beating Jason LaBarbera with a wrister from the slot. He followed Phoenix's first score with his second goal of the period, one-timing a drop pass from Williams, who had a semi-breakaway and lured LaBarbera to the side of the crease.
"It's good to get it out of the way because you do think about it," Kopitar said of his first goals.
Muzzin put the Kings up 4-2 with a hard shot from near the blue line that appeared to catch LaBarbera off-guard.
"To be honest, I didn't really see it go in," Muzzin said of his first goal. "When the guys came over, I was just kind of laughing because it was one of those hope wristers that made it through."
Kings defenseman Willie Mitchell, coming off knee surgery, skated with the team Saturday morning, but didn't play.

Fed Keeps Pedal On Gas; Markets Hit Records
(NEWSER) – The Federal Reserve surprised the financial world today by announcing that it would continuing buying roughly $85 billion worth of bonds a month. Many analysts had expected the central bank to ease off the quantitative easing gas pedal, but the committee announced that it had "decided to await more evidence that progress will be sustained." Borrowing costs have been on the rise in recent months, Bloomberg explains, and Ben Bernanke and company fear that signals a halt to growth.

Right-Wing Media Lament Supreme Court Decision That Protects And Extends Affordable Care To Millions
Right-wing media have reacted to the Supreme Court's ruling upholding President Obama's health care law by claiming it is "a dark day for freedom" and "the end of America as we know it." But the decision allows the health care law to implement reforms that will protect and extend affordable insurance coverage to millions of Americans.
Right-Wing Media Claim Supreme Court's Health Care Decision Is "The End Of America As We Know It"
Breitbart.com's Pollak: "The Supreme Court Has Made A Wrong Decision, For The Wrong Reasons, In Defense Of A Wrong Policy." In a June 28 post on Breitbart.com, editor-in-chief Joel Pollak claimed that if the health care law is not repealed following the Supreme Court's decision, "our health care system will be ruined, our Treasury bankrupted, and our Republic endangered." From Breitbart.com:
More broadly, Americans' confidence in the judiciary will be damaged by this decision--as much as by Bush v. Gore. Liberals have long believed the Court is merely a political institution. For conservatives, it will be difficult not to see the Court a political institution whose rules and culture are hostile. It is now customary for Republican appointees to become more left-wing over time; the reverse almost never happens. The answer cannot be to win more elections. A bigger shift, in the legal academy perhaps, will be necessary to restore what conservatives consider the Framers' constitutional vision. And that could take generations.
The Supreme Court has made a wrong decision, for the wrong reasons, in defense of a wrong policy. If citizens do not rush to the polls to undo what has happened--and after today, I am not certain that they will--our health care system will be ruined, our Treasury bankrupted, and our Republic endangered. [Breitbart.com, 6/28/12 [1]]
Fox's Starnes: "A Dark Day For Freedom." During the June 28 edition of his "Fox News and Commentary" radio segment, Fox News Radio's Todd Starnes reacted to the Supreme Court's decision by claiming that "we are now living in occupied America" and telling "freedom-loving Americans to mobilize and reclaim our nation." Starnes headlined a post accompanying audio of the segment "A Dark Day for Freedom." From Starnes' "Fox News and Commentary" radio segment:
We are now living in occupied America. The supreme court ruled today that the federal government has the right to force you to buy health insurance. A ruling that jeopardizes religious liberty, and will force a massive new tax on the American people. Sixty percent of the nation believes that mandate is a violation of individual rights. It's time now for freedom-loving Americans to mobilize and reclaim our nation. [Fox News Radio, 6/28/12 [2]]
Breitbart.com's Shapiro: "This Is The End Of America As We Know It." In a June 28 post to his Twitter feed, Breitbart.com editor Ben Shapiro wrote that the decision to uphold the health care law "is the end of America as we know it. No exaggeration." From Shapiro's Twitter feed:

In Fact, The Health Care Law Protects And Extends Coverage To Millions Of Americans
HHS: Health Care Law Ends Lifetime Limits For 105 Million Americans. According to a report by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the Affordable Care Act will end lifetime benefit limits for 105 million health care consumers. From Health and Human Services:
The Affordable Care Act prohibits health plans from imposing a lifetime dollar limit on most benefits received by Americans in any health plan renewing on or after September 23, 2010. While some plans already provided coverage with no limits on lifetime benefits, millions of Americans were previously in health plans that did not.
According to the Kaiser Family Foundation's Employer Health Benefits Survey, 59 percent of all workers covered by their employer's health plan in 2009 had some lifetime limit placed on their benefits. In addition, 89 percent of people with individually purchased coverage had a lifetime limit on their benefits.
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) estimated the number of Americans receiving these new protections, combining results from the 2009 Kaiser employer survey and 2009 America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) report with data from the 2009 to 2011 versions of the Current Population Survey (covering calendar years 2008-2010).
Overall, we estimated that 70 million persons in large employer plans, 25 million persons in small employer plans, and 10 million persons with individually purchased health insurance had lifetime limits on their health benefits prior to the passage of the Affordable Care Act. These 105 million Americans now enjoy improved coverage without lifetime limits.
Among the 105 million Americans for whom lifetime limits have been eliminated as a result of the Affordable Care Act, 75.3 million are non-Latino White, 11.8 million are Latino, 10.4 million are African-American, 5.5 million are Asian, and approximately 500,000 are American Indian or Alaska Native (Figure 2). Approximately 28 million of those benefiting are children, with the remainder of the 105 million split almost equally between adult men and adult women. Approximately 15.9 million individuals lived in rural areas, with the remainder in urban areas. [HHS, March 2012 [5]]
The Hill: "About 86 Million People Took Advantage Of The Healthcare Reform Law's Prevention Benefits For Medicare Beneficiaries." A February 15 post on The Hill's Healthwatch blog reported that 86 million people have already benefitted from the Affordable Care Act's preventive care measures, citing reports from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and the Department of Health and Human Services. From The Hill:
About 86 million Americans took advantage of the healthcare reform law's prevention benefits for Medicare beneficiaries and people with private insurance last year, the Obama administration said in two reports released Wednesday.
One report from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services found that an estimated 32.5 million -- almost three out of four -- Medicare beneficiaries took advantage of the law's coverage of prevention with no cost sharing last year. These include 6 million mammography screenings, 2.8 million bone mass measurements and 1.2 million pap tests -- all of which were previously subject to deductibles or co-payments.
Another 54 million people in private insurance are estimated to have taken advantage of the law's expanded coverage of at least some preventive services, according to a report from the assistant secretary for planning and evaluation at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). These include pediatrician visits, cancer screenings and immunizations. [The Hill, 2/15/12 [6]]
USA Today: "More Than 3.1 Million Americans Ages 19 Through 25 Are Covered" Because Of Health Care Law. A June 19 USA Today article cited a HHS report that found that "3.1 million Americans ages 19 through 25 are covered by their parents' medical insurance policies because of a provision in the 2010 health care law." From USA Today:
More than 3.1 million Americans ages 19 through 25 are covered by their parents' medical insurance policies because of a provision in the 2010 health care law, the Department of Health and Human Services is expected to announce today.
That's up from 2.5 million in December. About 75% of people in that age group now have insurance, up from 64% in 2010, records show.
It also adds healthy people to the insurance pool should the court strike down just the part of the law that requires people to buy health insurance, said Ron Pollack, founding executive director of Families USA, which supports the law. [USA Today, 6/19/12 [7]]
Families USA: "The Affordable Care Act ... Will Provide Tangible And Measurable Relief To American Families." In an October 2011 report, Families USA found that the Affordable Care Act "when fully implemented, will provide tangible and measurable relief to American families" and will "slow the growth of underlying health care costs." [Families USA, October 2011 [8]]
Huffington Post: The Affordable Care Act Is "Already Providing Widespread Relief To Some Americans." An April 3 Huffington Post article pointed out several "consumer benefits that would disappear if the whole law were to be ruled unconstitutional":
Many provisions of the Affordable Care Act took effect when it was signed into law in 2010, and a full repeal would eliminate reforms that are already providing widespread relief to some Americans. Here are some consumer benefits that would disappear if the whole law were to be ruled unconstitutional:
Increased coverage of preventive services
Many health insurance plans are now subject to new rules that require them to cover recommended preventive services without charging a co-payment. As a result, consumers pay nothing for services like routine screenings, vaccines, counseling, flu shots and well-baby and well-child visits from birth to age 21.
Coverage for children with pre-existing conditions
Under the new law, insurance companies cannot deny coverage or limit benefits to children under age 19 because of a pre-existing condition or disability. Starting in 2014, people of all ages with pre-existing conditions will be protected.
Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan
Adults who have been refused insurance coverage because of pre-existing conditions and who have remained uninsured for at least six months are eligible for the Pre-Existing Condition Insurance Plan. The program covers primary and specialty care, prescription drugs and hospital visits without requesting higher premiums for pre-existing conditions. [The Huffington Post, 4/3/12 [9], emphasis original]
Mother Jones' Serwer: As A Result Of Health Care Reform, Children "Cannot Be Denied Coverage Because Of A Pre-Existing Condition." In an April 12 Mother Jones article, Adam Serwer noted that "[m]illions could be hurt if the Supreme Court scraps health care reform." Serwer used the case of Marla Tipping, whose 14-year old son has a pre-existing condition, to point out the impact repeal of the health care law could have on Americans:
Tipping says her family has had "to be absolutely vigilant in never having a lapse in coverage ... because many carriers would never carry you with a preexisting condition again."
That was the case before the passage of the Affordable Care Act. Now, children like Cam cannot be denied coverage because of a preexisting condition. (Similar protections for adults are set to start in 2014.) While Tipping says she and her husband still pay between $20-25,000 out of pocket every year for costs their insurance won't cover, the ACA at least guarantees that they'll be able to find some kind of policy for Cam, even if they are forced to leave their current plan.
Most of the speculation over the fate of the Affordable Care Act has focused on the individual mandate and what the decision could mean for the 2012 presidential election. However, if the Supreme Court decides to throw out large parts of the law along with the mandate, Tipping's family is one of millions that could lose the benefit of provisions that are already in place. [Mother Jones, 4/12/12 [10]]
NY Times: Health Care Repeal Could Jeopardize Funding For Several Beneficial Health Programs. A June 21 New York Times article noted that the health care law included funding for several health care programs and health care delivery center improvements that would be in jeopardy if the full bill were repealed. From the Times article:
By the end of June, the court is expected to decide whether some or all of the Obama administration's health care law is constitutional. While speculation has focused on how the decision would affect the future of the nation's health insurance market, little attention has been paid to the tens of billions of dollars in federal money appropriated for a host of other provisions in the law.
If the court strikes down the entire law, many experts are skeptical that lawmakers will go ahead with funds for programs like the new Prevention and Public Health Fund, even if they are completely distinct from the controversial aspects of the law seeking to overhaul the insurance markets.
"I have no confidence that Congress will turn around and adequately fund the public health system," said Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, the executive director of the American Public Health Association, which represents people working in public health. The federal law sought to remedy years of underinvestment, he said.
The fate of programs like the federally financed state pools for people who cannot get private insurance that were expected to end as soon as the full law went into effect in 2014, when insurers would be required to cover everyone, is also unclear.
About 70,000 people have enrolled in these programs. About $1 billion has been spent so far to help subsidize their coverage and an additional $4 billion has been authorized under the law to keep the programs until 2014. [The New York Times, 6/21/12 [11]]
Health Care Expert Kevin Pho: If Health Reform Is Struck Down "Not Only Would The Uninsured Lose, So Would Other Constituents With Health Insurance." In a June 17 post on The New York Times' Room for Debate blog, health care blogger and primary care physician Dr. Kevin Pho noted:
If the individual mandate is struck down, health insurers cannot feasibly offer insurance to all patients unless they charge patients with pre-existing medical conditions significantly more than healthy patients. According to the Congressional Budget Office, the number of Americans remaining uninsured would be 40 percent higher -- 16 million people -- without the mandate than with it, and insurance premiums would be 15 percent to 20 percent more.
If health reform is struck down in its entirety, however, not only would the uninsured lose, so would other constituents with health insurance, like the elderly. One of the unsung benefits of the Affordable Care Act is Medicare's Annual Well Visit exam, which has been offered since 2011. Thanks to these visits, which I perform every day in my primary care clinic, I have the opportunity to evaluate seniors for their risk of falling, screen for depression and ensure preventive services like vaccines and cancer screening are adhered to.
Furthermore, health reform has already helped seniors save money. In 2011 alone, nearly 3.6 million Medicare beneficiaries saved $2.1 billion in prescription drug costs. A total repeal of law would not only hurt the uninsured, but would deny seniors benefits they already receive. [The New York Times, 6/17/12 [12]]
Health Care Law Reduces Federal Budget Deficits Now And In The Future
CBO: Health Care Reform Lowers The Deficit By More Than $100 Billion. In March 2011, the Congressional Budget Office and Joint Committee on Taxation issued a joint report saying that "[o]n net, CBO and JCT's latest comprehensive estimate is that the effects of the two laws on direct spending and revenues related to health care will reduce federal deficits by $210 billion over the 2012-2021 period." The CBO subsequently determined that the Obama administration's decision to indefinitely suspend implementation of the portion of the Affordable Care Act that enacted the Community Living Assistance Services and Supports (CLASS) Act lowered the deficit savings of the Affordable Care Act by $83 billion.

No Props for Props (23 & 26)
I will be the first to admit that I don't really understand the California election process. Governors are recalled and propositions seem to proliferate at every election cycle. What I do understand is that these propositions can have dramatic consequences—after all, elections do matter. Most folks who are reading our blog have likely heard of Prop 23, which would effectively stop the implementation of California's landmark climate change law, AB32. Environmental groups, clean energy entrepreneurs and big names such as Bill Gates and James Cameron have poured large amounts of attention and $25 million into the "No on 23" campaign, even as refiners Valero and Tesoro—and the now infamous Koch Brothers—fund the Yes campaign. Luckily the opponents have been getting the upper hand recently, with polls saying just over 50% of likely voters plan to vote against the prop—including both gubernatorial candidates.
While you shouldn't count your votes until they've hatched (or resurrected if you're in Chicago…), it seems that the latest news has been good. But in recent days, an increasing amount of focus has been placed on a "stealth" ballot measure: Proposition 26. Unlike Prop 23, which took on a very high profile law, Proposition 26 is seemingly more mundane—as it just deals with "fees." Specifically, Prop 26 would require a two-thirds vote in the California Legislature to impose local fees, including environmental fees. A 2/3 vote is a feat which many say is about as unlikely to occur as unemployment remaining at 5.5% for a year, the threshold required for AB32 to continue under Prop 23. While there is some difference of opinion as to whether Prop 26 could stop the implementation of necessary new fees associated with AB32, there is a lot of concern that it could have the effect of causing gridlock as legal challenges are waged—which may be just what the proposition's authors intended. And unlike Proposition 23, the supporters of Prop 26 have raised over four times as much as opponents.
Those of us who care about clean energy and climate change will be watching the results of both Prop 23 and Prop 26 closely on election day—and if you live in California, this is not an election you want to miss.

Robak, 49, a former Nebraska Lieutenant Governor, has been responsible for federal and state government relations, news media relations, marketing and communications for the university and has served as the chief administrative officer for the University of Nebraska Board of Regents.
"My experience at the University of Nebraska has been extraordinarily rewarding, and I've formed many close friendships among members of the faculty, staff and administration on all four of the campuses," Robak said. "After eight years in state government and nearly six years in university administration, however, I am excited about the opportunity to return to the private sector."
University of Nebraska President J.B. Milliken said Robak has been a tremendous asset to the university. "Kim and I have been friends and colleagues for many years, and I recruited her to succeed me as vice president and corporation secretary when I left for the University of North Carolina in 1998," Milliken said. "She has served with great distinction and the university community will miss her enormous talent and energy. On a personal note, she has been extremely helpful to me during my transition into the presidency of the university."
Don Blank, Chairman of the Board of Regents, said Robak has been effective in handling the board's business. "Kim is the consummate professional, and has managed the operations of the Board of Regents with both efficiency and good humor" Blank said. . "We've had to take on some tough issues over the past several years, including severe budget cuts, and Kim has always been there to offer sound advice and to help us organize our work to effectively respond to those issues."
Larry Ruth, co-founder of Ruth & Mueller, said that Robak has a long record of working in the legislative process. "She is highly experienced in applying her keen legal mind to tough legislative issues. We congratulate her on nearly 14 years of public service, and we welcome her interest in formulating public policy through the private sector."
Ruth and William Mueller lobby as Ruth & Mueller LLC. Ruth has lobbied in the Nebraska Unicameral since 1974. Mueller, who is Robak's husband, has lobbied since 1984. According to state reports, the firm represented 39 clients before the Legislature in 2004. The firm has announced that it will change its name to Ruth, Mueller & Robak LLC.
Robak will retain some ties to the university, continuing her service on the board of directors of the Nebraska Medical Center and as a member of the Cather Circle, a mentoring program for University of Nebraska-Lincoln women students.
A Columbus native, Robak is a graduate of Scotus High School. She earned a bachelor of science degree with distinction from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1977, and a law degree with highest distinction in 1985, also from UNL. She was a teacher in the Lincoln public schools from 1979 to 1982, and a partner in the Remboldt, Ludtke, Parker and Berger law firm from 1985 to 1991. Governor Ben Nelson appointed her to be his chief of staff in 1992, and Lieutenant Governor in 1993, an office to which she was elected in 1994. She and her husband have two daughters.

Innovista Master Plan cited by SCAPA
The South Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association (SCAPA) recently presented its 2010 planning awards, which recognized the University of South Carolina, City of Columbia, Guignard Associates and Sasaki Associates Inc. for the Innovista Master Plan for downtown Columbia and the Congaree River waterfront.
The projects won the award for Outstanding Planning Project in a multi-jurisdictional area.
"The Innovista Master Plan is a visionary blueprint to transform 500 acres in the heart of our capital city from the remnants of an industrial past into a vibrant mixed-use community," said Don Herriott, director of Innovista Partnerships. "The live, learn, earn and play urban environment has been creatively designed and planned to give life to an urban core which includes a top-tier research university whose work spawns high-impact, high-tech companies. This planned approach will take many years to come to full fruition, but when it does, Columbia will be a nationally known place for its creative-class, high-tech environment."
"The new iconic Waterfront Park will symbolize the famously hot but definitely cool City of Columbia, where quality of life and quality of work are second to none," Herriott said.
The Innovista research district is designed to help South Carolina companies grow, attract new business and build a high-tech knowledge economy. It is home to cutting-edge research facilities, including the Horizon I research building, which houses Centers of Economic Excellence chairs in future fuels research; the Discovery I building, home to the Center for Colon Cancer Research and the department of communication sciences and disorders; the Public Health Research Center, home of EnGenCore, a public-private partnership providing DNA sequencing for academic and commercial research; and the SCRA USC Innovation Center, which features 70,000 square feet and the capacity for 10 to 15 high-tech companies. Plans call for the Darla Moore School of Business to be located in Innovista. The district is home to 12 endowed chairs.
Six planning project awards were made to South Carolina communities and organizations. Two additional awards, Distinguished Planner and Planning Advocate, recognized individual planning excellence in South Carolina.
Award criteria include quality of the product, innovation in approach or process, transferability to other jurisdictions in South Carolina, significance to the community, implementation potential and sustainability over time.
The South Carolina Chapter of the American Planning Association is a nonprofit education and membership organization dedicated to advancing the art, science and profession of community planning across the state.

LANOKA HARBOR, NJ -- Manufacturing and operating kingpin Carmen J. Ricci died at his home here on July 21. He was 73.
Best known to the industry as president of Greyhound Electronics (Toms River, NJ), which he co-owned with son-in-law Brian Petaccio, Ricci was also the owner of Sonny's & Rickey's Arcade (Seaside Heights) on the Jersey Boardwalk. According to New Jersey government records, his wife, Nixa, also owned a large route in Florida.
A colorful and controversial figure, Ricci was deeply involved in manufacturing and operating gray-area games in the Midwest and up and down the Eastern Seaboard, according to the same government sources. Greyhound also produced and sold conventional redemption and merchandising equipment, and marketed it nationwide.
Born in Philadelphia, Ricci lived most of his life in Seaside Park before moving here with his wife in 1994. He was predeceased by his brothers, Angelo and Thomas Ricci. He is survived by his daughters Michelle Rindone, Lisa Ricci, Theresa Petaccio, Colleen Rosenblum and Nixa Risk, his son Samuel Della Sala III and several grandchildren.

Brevard, N.C. – The bats came alive for Newberry College on Sunday afternoon, as they slugged their way past Brevard, 12-4, at Gil Coan Field. The win completes a three-game sweep for the scarlet and gray in the South Atlantic Conference series.
Newberry (8-5, 3-0 SAC) was led by Jovan Rohena (Trujilo Alto, Puerto Rico), who was 4-5 on the day and belted his first two home runs of the season. Ernie Castellano (Homestead, Fla.) pitched four and two-thirds innings of relief work, allowing only one unearned run and striking out six to pick up the victory.
Shane Galloway (Rosman, N.C.) picked up the loss for the Tornados (5-5, 0-3 SAC), allowing seven runs in four and one-third innings pitched. Stephen Mullis (Charlotte, N.C.) was 2-5 with 2 RBI for Brevard.
Newberry opened their scoring account in the 2nd inning, when Rohena smacked a home run that just cleared the left field wall, giving the visitors the lead.
The scarlet and gray hung four runs on the board in the 3rd inning. With two on and one out, Casio Grider (Hephzibah, Ga.) tripled to right center, making the score 3-0. Grider came home when Scott Horvath (Apopka, Fla.) followed with a single, and three batters later Jose Rosa (Keystone Heights, Fla.) tallied an RBI single to make the score 5-0.
The road nine added to the lead in the 5th, starting with a two-run homer from Rohena to make the score 7-0. After Seth Laughter (Fletcher, N.C.) relieved Galloway, Rosa touched home on a wild pitch to put Newberry up by eight.
Brevard got on the board in the bottom of the 5th. With the bases juiced, Brice Warner (Clover, S.C.) drew a walk to put up the first Tornado tally of the day. Two batters later, Mullis singled home a pair to make the score 8-3.
The Tornados added another in the 6th, as Kellen Moman (Greenville, S.C.) singled home a run to make the score 8-4.
Newberry tacked three runs on in the 7th. With the bases loaded, Phillip Bartz (LaCrescent, Minn.) scored a pair with an RBI single. The next batter, John Kirkland (Orlando, Fla.) also singled home a run to make the score 11-4.
Newberry's final run came in the 8th, when Jim Pollack (Homer, Alaska) singled home Pollack to make the tally 12-4 in favor of the road side.
Brevard looks to stop a four game slide when they host King College Tuesday at 1 p.m. Newberry plays at Coker on Wednesday at 3 p.m.

One of the city's best-kept secrets is that north London isn't really London at all. Leafy, hilly and held together by a loose network of winding roads and LRB contributors, the air is crisper up here. The Bull, like many other pubs around Highgate, transports you to the countryside (dried hops dangling everywhere, butcher-block tables; Labradors on leashes). The approach to this dedicated ale pub is via hushed, tree-lined streets with little to no lamplight (the council obviously hasn't learned its lesson about highwaymen yet), but because it's on busy North Hill Road, the place has a hint of the city about it: with reassuring electric light still making its way in and keeping a waspy vibe at bay. An impressive 21 taps pouring cellar-chilled brews are perfect for exploratory sessions, with seasonal treats including a surprisingly nice peach and rosemary wheat pale ale, and a strong offering from the in-house London Brewery, including an oatmeal stout and an American wheat. Since you're here you'll probably end up eating something: there's Sunday Roast, and midweek the fish and chips was sound – but a word of warning to stay away from the American-style grub (oversauced chicken wings, oversmoked burger) and stick to the best of British instead.

Outstanding food and they brew their own ales too!
We hired the whole establishment for our son's wedding on a sunny Friday, July 12, 2013. It was just superb, not one dissonant: when the about 150 guests, coming from over 15 countries (a.o. UK, Belgium, Israël, Australia, Poland, China, Turkey, Spain, Italy...) arrived they where welcomed with bubbles, Pimm's and fine canapées. After we had a buffet of starters, main course buffet and wide choice of desert and English cheeses. All menu inspired in fact on typical English food. Even the 25 Belgian connaissers liked it very much. Dan and his 18 people staff did the utmost to make this day unforgettable and to create a warm atmospere and they succeeded wonderful!!! I can only recommend this establishment with whole my heart.
Terrible service. Rude to my boyfriend who has mental health issues. Worst place in London - used to go there often for beer and food but never again, NEVER! Rude/horrible manager and workers
Recently visited for a family birthday. Great food, great beer brewed on site. Lovely staff and atmosphere. Awesome.
We have been coming for a while and have recommended it to friends. The beer is good, the wine not so and the food although pricy for what it is, is reasonable. However I can no longer recommend this place as the owner is very rude. I have now witnessed on my last two visits awfull customer service. Firstly the way in which he treats his staff, but even more so the way in which he treats his customers. I witnessed him throwing out a customer for opening a door to allow fresh air to their children. He made a un-neccassary scene which was very uncomfortable to be near. It really spoilt our visit and his arrogant and rude attitute did not improve for the remainder of our visit. As this is two visits in a row, I will not be returning and I cannot reccomend this place as there are several better alternatives available within walking distance. Please avoid.
Awsome food! I live ine ast london and have made my way out here a number of times just for this pub. The beer selection is huge, and the knowledgable staff are on hand to talk you thru it. They brew their own stuff as well, which is pretty good and is constantly changing. I was here last halloween when they made a pumpkin beer which gets served in a pumpkin with a tap poked into it. Brilliant. Great atmosphere and outside space as well! Keep it up!
Good Highgate pub, worth the walk up the hill. They make their own beer on site which is about 3 quid, great price for this area of London. Great food, we had to wait a bit as it was nearly 9pm on a Saturday night, but the waitress gave us some free olives to say sorry. Really good night had by all in the group.
Rude staff and appalling service. Waited 15 minutes to get a drink so went up to the bar and ordered my self, i asked the guy if it was ok to come to the bar to get served and he sarcastically replied it's a pub you can if you want, then after another 20 minutes of sitting at our table we still had seen no member of staff to take our order. This is a classic case of the staff thinking they are more important than the customers.
Avoid. Me and my husband eat here allot. We come for the good food and the excellent choice of beer, especially the Hawaiian beers which are well worth a try. The food is always good and the specials are always diverse and changing. When we brought our children they where well look after with crayons and an excellent child's menu. However, though the food and drink is sublime I strongly recommend avoiding. Go if you want to watch the management belittle, ridicule and bully the waiters and bar team. The rude comments, the barked orders and the uncouth manner in which the pub was run has put us off. The sheer magnitude of unprofessionalism was enough to make us feel uncomfortable and sorry for the poor staff that served with a smile and got harassed at every turn. Clearly the management had no issues in swearing at a member of his team in front of the customers, Reading the comments we are not alone in this belief. It's a real shame we dine here often but after a particular ugly experience, which was not the food or the drink but the management being unpleasant, has put us off. This was not the first occasion it was the last straw for us. So if you like food and good beer go but be prepared to witness rudeness and crassness which is unforgivable and off putting. You think I am over exaggerating? Go and witness it for yourself. It really is shocking.
Great pub with a mixture of chair and couch seating (always important for me). Their Sierra Nevada and Brooklyn are both reliable on tap, and are both fantastic beers. Brooklyn on draught I see in more and more pubs around London but not so much Sierra Nevada. They have a rotating range of other lagers and ales that the staff are ever eager to tap out a taste of for you - they want to introduce you to it and also want to hear your thoughts once you've taken a sip. The only rider is that not all the staff (in my four times of being there) have been as knowledgable, although the senior ones do seem to be.
We have waited long in Highgate for a place like this. Have been three times, ladies lunch and two dinners and not been disappointed. Good food, interesting beer, decor right, and pleasant ambience, all without pretentiousness and ridiculous prices. I am surprised by your 3 star rating, which I think is on the low side. Can you up it, because I want the Bull to be the success it deserves to be and that Highgate needs?
Great pub and great atmosphere! It was completely full when I first visited a few saturdays ago and it was really buzzing, I have been through the week and its a bit more quiet but at least we could get a seat (we got the last ones on the first visit). Food on first visit was 140% brilliant from starter to main although I had a small complaint about the desert I gave this pub a 5 as the way it was dealt with was fantastic. I didnt eat on the 2nd visit, just went for a beer or two with some friends who also loved the place. AMAZING beer! I went on Wednesday for my 3rd visit and they seem to be doing a 'Wings' deal on Wednesdays which was great value (cant remember the actual price but I remember wondering why I would ever be at home now on a Wednesday as the wings are second only to those found in some bars in the states! Did I mention the great beer? Having read the comments below I also disagree with the star - perhaps time out should go back now their beer is ready, I really think it is one of the things that makes it. I think had I not complained about my desert (a small matter really) I think I would have given it a 4 but it really gave me chance to put their seemingly 'shiny' service through the acid test and they really delivered.
I can proudly say that this will be our new local. Approachable and attentive staff. Very clean. Good-natured atmosphere. Beer selection is diverse, rather than ridiculously numerous, offering something for the beer geeks without overwhelming the uninitiated. Very much looking forward to trying the food next week and to seeing what wonders emerge from the microbrewery on site! I'm in full agreement with Billy on the ratings front.
Time Out- you got the review totally right but the star rating wrong! I give them 5. Warm and knowledgeable staff, great beer variety (if you are bored with every other pub's usuals...), fantastic food and overall great atmosphere. A real gem and a very welcomed addition to Highgate... agree with an earlier post that the other pubs up here have gone downhill and there really aren't any other places to enjoy real fine food. An original concept, brilliant!
fantastic beer amazing food ! recommended
Went there on Sunday - the beer was really excellent. Didn't have lunch there this week, but intend going back next week as it looked really good value. Welcome addition to the area as a lot of the other pubs have gone downhill.
Came for a drink, stayed for food! Thanks to a beer geek boyfriend, I have been dragged round plenty of the aforementioned alehouse in London and can confirm this is a heavy weight contender. Excellent selection of beers on tap (some friends made it their responsibility to try all the local brew ones- easily down with prices as low as £2.80 for a pint) whilst I enjoyed some of the bottled beers. Ended up eating there and can highly recommend trying the beer recommended with the dishes; all worked really well. I was in a group of 9 people and every loved their meals including the one strict veggie- there was only one option on the main menu (apparently the dailies will reflect more choice for veggies) but she said it was fantastic (although felt the mash potato offered instead of the salad should have been a standard part of the meal). All in all, we had a very enjoyable day/evening there and will be returning again to try their own beers.
I came here with a few of my friends over the weekend. I was really impressed with the decor and the whole feel of the place. The selection of drinks was excellent, and the food was even better. The sliders were to die for. This is definitely my new go-to place for my friends and I to have a good time and a delicious meal.

Family history probably wasn't on Andrew Carnegie's mind when he championed the creation of public libraries. But today, the local library system he helped create provides the means for millions of people to trace their family trees. Many public libraries now have dedicated genealogy or local history collections, making them an essential destination for every roots researcher. There you'll find not only books, but also rare manuscripts, genealogical journals, census records and CD-ROMs, all full of valuable information you won't find on the Internet.
Some of those local libraries have gone above and beyond to develop incredible family history collections that draw genealogists from well outside their neighborhoods. The Allen County Public Library's genealogy collection has garnered a national reputation and attracts more than 100,000 researchers from across the country each year. But which other public libraries should you try hardest to work into your travel plans? (Of course, you don't need to go there in person to take advantage of these research treasure troves — see the box on page 28 and the "Services" section for each library here.) In an effort to identify the 10 best public libraries for genealogists, we weighed these factors:

Thinking about cancer or dealing with cancer risk can be scary or overwhelming, but we believe that receiving information and resources is comforting, empowering, and lifesaving.
Families share more than genes, physical features, and medical traits. Other common elements—backgrounds, relationships, and dynamics—sometimes affect communication between family members.
A genetics expert can help you determine which blood relatives may be at risk for hereditary cancer or for carrying an inherited mutation.
In some families, cancer, breasts, and ovaries are considered very private matters never to be discussed. Cancer and other illnesses are often associated with a stigma in our society. Some family members may be superstitious about discussing cancer, believing that may invite the disease and make it more likely to happen. This lack of communication can impede sharing of critically important health information between relatives. Despite these challenges, it is important to share medical information with relatives. Cancer and many other diseases can have a hereditary component. Screening or risk-management recommendations are different for people who are considered "high risk" due to a family history. Privacy laws make it difficult for your health care providers to share your medical information with your relatives. Therefore, your sharing of medical information with your family may be their only source of life-saving information.
You can prepare for your conversation ahead of time by writing down what you want to tell them. FORCE has a worksheet, family medical history chart and a letter template to help you share genetic information with a relative. You can also use our page on finding a genetics expert to help them find a qualified expert in their area.

description: The longest venomous snake in the world, the king cobra, can find itself on the other end of the food chain.

is_us_only: false

title: King Cobra vs. Saltwater Crocodile

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
Beneath the leaf litter in one of India’s southern forests, a nest of royal predators are working to join the world.
They are the longest venomous snakes in the world - King Cobras.
Though they may grow to be 18 feet in length, these babies are a mere 15 inches long.
Despite their diminutive size, they already look and act like their parents, equipped with all the skills necessary to survive in their new environment.
But these skills won’t be enough to assure survival…and while the rest of his brethren head high above for safety, one small snake slithers for the water and a thirst-quenching drink.
Unfortunately, fate is not on his side. Another pint-sized predator is on the look-out for food, too.
The saltwater crocodile is a legendary giant of these forests. This species is the largest living reptile in the world. Adults can grow well over 20 feet long and weigh in at over a ton.
Crocodiles are opportunistic hunters, lying in wait for an unsuspecting animal to come along…like the baby king cobra.
The snake's misguided instinct is a windfall for the little salty who swiftly snaps up the little king cobra, and enjoys an unexpected snack.

Success After Wooster
Many students take courses in archaeology simply because of an interest in the subject, but some do so in preparation for careers in teaching, museum curatorship, or field archaeology. For example:
- David Massey '04 did GIS (Geographic Information Systems) analysis for his junior and senior I.S., and now works for an archaeological consulting firm as their GIS specialist.
- Michael DiPaolo '99 did his junior I.S. at the Lewes Historical Society in Delaware, joined the society after graduation, and rose to the position of executive director.
Faculty recommend that students with a professional interest in archaeology secure a broad background in the liberal arts and anticipate the need for specialized training at the graduate level.
