Modern health-care systems don't work very well. Despite the best efforts by the U.S. Congress, despite the single-payer system in Canada, there is no easy resolution of the fundamental policy issue. This is the conflict between the need to supply health care as a matter of right and the need to control costs.
It wasn't this way in earlier eras when health care was often ineffectual and marginal. But, by the mid-20th century, health care had become so important in advanced societies that demand for it became virtually insatiable. Wonder drugs, lab tests, artificial joints, organ transplants, imaging, expertise, home care, end-of-life care, brain surgery, research breakthroughs - we want it all, and we want to be insured against its costs.
Because we are compassionate, we tend to believe that no one should be denied access to health care for financial reasons. Even in the highly individualistic United States, access to high-quality health care is seen as a fundamental human right.
Nowhere, however, have insurers, public or private, succeeded in controlling the consequence of meeting demands for high-quality universal health care. Costs increase faster than inflation, faster than economic growth.
Major cost-control strategies have proved largely fruitless. In the naive early days of medicare, it was widely believed that preventive medicine would save money by reducing disease. Healthier people get sick less. Or do they?
Gradually, we learned that the war against ill health (unlike, say, reducing car crashes) is only postponement. Pounds of prevention do a lot of good, but they don't give humans an ounce of ultimate cure. Prevention adds costs to the system as we live longer. We avoid one disease only to fall prey to another. The more we succeed at protecting the snowman on the lawn from melting, the more expensive maintaining him becomes.
Strategies to try to limit demand by limiting the supply of health care were particularly popular in Canada from the 1970s through the 1990s as governments tried to use their monopoly power to close hospitals, limit the supply of doctors, ration access to diagnostic facilities and operating rooms, and so on. A dominant school of health economists believed that the public was overserviced and that patients could happily make do with less.
Media and voter outrage were the kiss of death for the supply tinkerers. The demand for health care is not just misperception fostered by self-interested doctors and druggists. It's real and massive, increases as we age, and has media support.
Proposals to give patients and/or providers financial incentives to offer less care take us back to the dilemma of preventive medicine. You can pay me or my doctor a bonus for staying healthy, but I'll still expect you to foot the bill when I finally get sick. Pay me now and pay me later.
We doggedly try to cut fat wherever it's found in health care. Why not pay less for drugs and less for physicians' services? Why not strive for greater efficiency everywhere in the system, for cost-saving innovations, for increased cost-consciousness everywhere?
These are important and, sometimes, effective strategies, except when they lead to shortages of personnel, research and facilities, or wild spending on utopian panaceas such as e-health technology. Not many of us feel very confident about government health bureaucracies as crusaders for innovation and efficiency.
Nor are the political gatekeepers of most health-care systems, certainly not Canada's, willing to unleash anything like the cost-reducing force of unrestrained competition in the health-care marketplace. It seems counterintuitive to suggest that flooding the market with doctors, nurses, hospitals and laboratories, all competing fiercely with one another, might actually reduce costs. Although other industries work this way - think about food and housing - free enterprise in health care is an experiment we are deeply afraid to try.
If we can't hold the line on health-care costs, how can we keep on paying? When governments take responsibility for health care, their only options are to raise taxes, run up debt and squeeze spending in other areas. All of this is happening in Canada, with no end in sight.
The new American tilt toward subsidizing health insurance for everyone may lead to better health care for millions, at least in the short run. But success in meeting citizen demand will lead to greater failure in cost-containment. Most Americans have traditionally insisted on having the best health-care system money can buy, and now almost all of them are going to have access to it, and feel almost as entitled as Canadians.
In both countries, the health-care burden on governments will mount and mount (just as it's rising for Europeans, who, until recently, have expected and settled for less than we rich North Americans). Crippled by debt and resistance to taxes, the United States may be the first country that finds health care's breaking point.
Our history of struggling with the problems of containing the costs of health insurance suggests there are no practical panaceas, quick fixes or easy answers. We can and should rejoice at the wonderful successes that modern medicine and modern social policies have given us in terms of years of extra life, health and productivity. We can just as rightly ring our hands at the mess we create when we lean on other people to help pay to maintain our personal health.

Watch: Drake raps while Shaq beatboxes
Before Sunday's, All-Star Game Drake rapped some bars from his song "Back to Back" on Inside the NBA with some help from a beatboxing Shaquille O'Neal.
Drake was prepared to spit an original freestyle, but Shaq was dying to hear Drake's famous lines from his Meek Mill diss track.
Can these two please get their own show?
• Drake has made a lot of faces at All-Star Weekend
.@Drake spitting some bars with #SHAQ! #NBAAllStarTO https://t.co/bJrNx7Q3WB— NBA on TNT (@NBAonTNT) February 15, 2016
As Twitter user HighSock_Sunday estutely pointed out, Drake can't really freestyle so well so this may have been for the best.
Thank God Shaq told Drake to just rap his own song there because that dude can't freestyle his way out of a paper bag. #NBAAllStarWeekend— High Sock Sunday (@HighSock_Sunday) February 15, 2016

text: Some 5 million people died before the second war ended in 2003. But much of the fighting and lawlessness has continued in the competition for minerals coming out of volatile eastern Congo, including the gold mines that soldiers and armed group leaders use to gain guns and power.The 2005 report that Austin worked on mentions the company in connection with the sale of more than $1 million in gold by armed group leaders in eastern Congo. Another report by the U.N. experts on Congo earlier this year says gold is the commodity of choice for armed groups in eastern Congo who tend to export it through Uganda using traders that don't ask questions. But Argor-Heraeus said in response to TRIAL's complaint that in 2005 it took the "precautionary measure" of cutting ties with a British company that sent it gold shipments and decided not to accept any more materials from Uganda. The company, which is part of an initiative by private companies and the Swiss government to increase transparency in the gold business, also said it would cooperate with authorities on the probe.

It's no secret that Khloe Kardashian has cut out the majority of drama from her life.
Over the past few years, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star has worked to shed the weight of the world (and some pounds) that was hanging on her shoulders in the wake of her divorce from Lamar Odom, but given everything she went through, she somehow made it look easy...and fun.
First order of business was revamping her life, literally and figuratively. The E! star started a passionate affair with fitness, and it's a love that will not die. From Snapchatting her workouts to opening up to fitness magazines about her sessions with Gunnar Peterson or Don of Don-A-Matrix training, Khloe has made it clear that getting a Revenge Body is just part of the fun.
"I don't care what weight I am. It's genuinely about me being healthy," she dished to Health magazine. "I was never like, 'I want to lose 30 pounds in 30 days.' Trust me: I've done juice cleanses. I did the Master cleanse. Like, what would Beyoncé do? But it didn't work for my body and my lifestyle."
She got in such great shape that Khloe even made a video for Vogue that taught fans how to get a better butt and gain confidence at the same time. "Remember, you guys never regret doing your workout, you only regret not doing your workout," Khloe said in the video.
Preach, girl.
Seth Browarnik/startraksphoto.com
But when Khloe isn't working out, she's spending time with her family, friends and boyfriend Tristan Thompson. She has flown back and forth to Cleveland to support the NBA star's career, giving fans sneak peeks inside their relationship with a couple of PDA photos every so often. They even spent New Year's Eve together, and an eyewitness told E! News that they "were kissing and dancing all night. They seemed to be having a great time together and with their friends."
New Year's Eve came only a few weeks after Khloe and Lamar finalized their divorce, which had been a couple of years in the making. She put the proceedings on hold after Lamar's drug overdose so she could take care of him, which proved to be an emotionally tough time. But when it was all over, Khloe was ready to move on once again.
"They are friends and always will be, but they don't talk in the same way they used to," a source shared with E! News of their finalized divorce. "They became very close after the Vegas incident and obviously Lamar is extremely grateful to Khloe for everything she did for him, but their relationship has undergone a metamorphosis."
All of the changes Khloe has gone through, while difficult, have only made her feel better about herself—and everyone's noticing. Fans have called Khloe fitness inspo, sister Kim Kardashian has called her and Kourtney Kardashian out for their insane bodies and even Khloe can't deny her progress.
"No, for me it wasn't one person," Khloe revealed to E! News' Sibley Scoles when asked for whom she changed her "revenge" body. "For me it's getting revenge just on my life. I feel like the older I'm getting, I feel like I get better and better and I do think I look younger and I feel better than I did five years ago."
It's easy to say Khloe's inner and outer transformation looks fun because of everything she posts on her app and social media profiles, but it also took plenty of hard work. But hard work has to be rewarded, which she was Thursday night.
Khloe's assistants surprised her with a cake celebrating her new passport, which removed Odom from her name.
"Look what Khloe's assistants got for her because she got a new passport without her old last name," Kim shared on Snapchat. "It's her new last name and look at the weight you guys."
The edible cake listed Khloe's weight as "skinny bitch" with her address located on Freedom Lane.
If moving on means getting delicious cake and a new, healthy outlook on life, then sign us up for Khloe's plan.

Texas Gets Boost From NASA Space Taxi Effort
NASA announced Tuesday that it has selected two companies--Boeing, and SpaceX--to deliver astronauts to space from U.S. soil. The move will help bolster the space industry in Texas, where both SpaceX and Boeing partner Blue Origin have been conducting testing and launches. According to NASA, it has awarded $2.6 billion to SpaceX, and $4.2 billion to Boeing to help provide rides to space for its astronauts, part of a move to end the nation's sole reliance on Russia for delivering astronauts to space by 2017. SpaceX recently selected Texas for a new, commercial rocket launch facility, and one of Boeing's key partners in its astronaut delivery efforts is Blue Origin has a test site in West Texas where it is developing reusable launch vehicles. SpaceX is led by technology mogul Elon Musk; Blue Origin is backed by Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos.

File Force module can be used to force the user's web browser to download the file to disk instead of displaying it in the browser window.
Web browsers today are pre-configured to render various types of media directly, such as text files, various image, video and audio formats, PDF documents, and Flash movies. While it is still possible to save such files afterwards by right-clicking on them and selecting "Save As..", it is sometimes desirable to just offer the file for download in the first place. File Force solves this issue by supplying a file with certain HTTP headers which instruct the web browser to download the file to the user's disk instead of displaying it in a browser window.
While File Force offers an easy solution to the problem of forcing visitors to download requested files, we advise you to also consider using a web server configuration, especially if you have a high-traffic site and your settings should apply across the board to all files of a specific set of types.
Pre-Defined Configuration Options
File Force offers a number of additional formatters to the supported fields, which can be selected either in the "Display Fields" section of your content type or when adding fields to your view.
For more general templates, like the Upload module's attachment list, please consult the admin/settings/file-force page, where you can select the locations where you want File Force type links to be enabled by default. Note that if your theme already overrides a particular function, selecting it there will have no effect! So if you want to add File Force links to an already themed function, just copy the l() call from the implementation of the corresponding theme function in file_force.theme.inc.
The Image module offers to select types of links shown on the node page, which are extended by a File Force type for you. Note that there is currently a small conflict with the Lightbox2 module, which can be easily fixed though by the site administrator.

Manual Use
If you want to build File Force links manually, you should first find out what download method (cf. admin/settings/file-system) your site is using, and then act according to one of the following options:
- With the "Private" download method enabled on your site, you can simply use the url() & l() functions with an additional item in the options array, e.g. url($image['filepath'], array('query' => array('download' => '1'))).
- With the "Public" download method enabled by default, you will need to make sure that the File Force link is going through Drupal by passing it through file_force_create_url() first, e.g. l('linktext', file_force_create_url($image['filepath']), array('query' => array('download' => '1'))).
Supported Modules

Looking for support? Visit the Drupal.org forums, or join #drupal-support in IRC.
It's interesting that the Upload module with which a regular (non technical) user will typically use to attach files to a page/post must be bypassed and the link created manually (including the /download/ addition to the url) in order for File Force to work.
In my application, where the editors of the site are non-technical and don't know how to FTP files or edit URL links manually, this makes this module basically unusable.
Thanks anyway, maybe I will
Thanks anyway, maybe I will comment. I just find it interesting that the module doesn't work with the core Drupal module "Upload", I am sure there is a good reason you did it that way, I just don't understand.
This is a better solution
Or in this case...
I guess you can't be anything for anyone... This is a serious shortcoming of Drupal and of the associated modules. WordPress and other CMSs are miles ahead on file management. By comparison, Drupal is an infant. This issue needs to be addressed...
hi chrisblueearth. just
hi chrisblueearth.
just wondering what you mean by "miles ahead" could you maybe give an example . There is a module for this and i dont think it is in core because most of the browser built in system work well and give an option for download. It does start to leave holes for very serious security issues of not properly configured, and that configuration layer is based on the site builder/site admins and not the software. Like this post states in any case it would be better to add this setting on the server layer and not on drupal.

Bumuda Triangle: Filling a black hole in the Ballpark neighborhood
Eight years ago, after a $300,000 renovation job that installed low-maintenance plants, easily hosed-off pavement and benches where you could sit, not sleep, the city dedicated Edward J. "Eddie" Maestas Park at the corner of Broadway, Lawrence and Larimer streets, renaming Triangle Park after a longtime businessman and neighborhood Good Samaritan who'd always helped the homeless. But the park soon devolved into such a mess that the family asked that the Maestas name come off.
The spot got a new, unofficial nickname: the Bumuda Triangle. And right now, it looks like a major black hole for the city.
The park had become a haven for drug dealers preying on the homeless, who would congregate there during the day, waiting for the three shelters in the area to open. And after eighteen months of discussing what should be done, a group of stakeholders working with the city finally agreed to turn it into a fenced-off urban garden. Last November 1, shortly after a major sting by the Denver Police Department rousted a drug ring that had been operating in the park, the barricades went up, blocking the homeless -- and everyone else -- from Triangle Park, with a banner proclaiming, "The park is closed for now, but we're planting a brand-new Denver Urban Garden community and a fresh start for Triangle Park. Sprouting in Spring 2014!"
But six months later, the project has yet to get under way. And in the meantime, the homeless who used to congregate there have spilled onto the side streets and other pocket parks. Ballpark neighborhood residents and businesses charge that as a result, crime has gone up -- and complain that the city has not provided the services it promised to create when the urban-camping ban went through almost two years ago.

To provide some of those services, the city supports creating an $8.6 million day center in the neighborhood that will be overseen by the Denver Rescue Mission, which is located right across from Triangle Park. A Denver City Council committee will take up the issue this morning.
Plenty of Ballpark residents will be in attendance; they've been complaining that the city hasn't listened to their concerns about putting yet another facility for the homeless in their neighborhood, which already houses three shelters.
But while plans for the day center are mired in controversy, the Triangle Park project is going ahead. Bids for construction of the park closed last week, according to Jeff Green, spokesman for the Denver Department of Parks and Recreation, and a contractor should be selected this Friday. If all goes according to plan, the start date for construction will be at later this month, with an estimated completion in late June or early July.
"Denver Parks & Recreation, Denver's Road Home, and the Denver Police Department are working collaboratively on a community garden that will be enclosed within the park, with plots available for community space during designated, monitored usage times," Green says. "Denver Urban Gardens will develop skill-building programming in conjunction with the Denver Rescue Mission that allows the homeless community to participate in the community garden, in addition to the neighbors."
The neighbors who are still talking to them, that is.
Here are the agenda items that the city's Land Use, Transportation & Infrastructure Subcommittee will be considering at the meeting that starts at 10:30 a.m. today in the Denver City and County Building:
BR14-0300: Approves a grant agreement with the Denver Rescue Mission in the amount of $4,889,739 for construction of the Lawrence Street Community Center, related to the downtown increment financing project.
BR14-0301: Approves a grant agreement with the Denver Rescue Mission for purchase of properties located at 2222 and 2232 Lawrence Street for the purpose of constructing the Lawrence Street Community Center, related to the downtown increment financing project.

Jennifer Lopez Takes Her Family to Moscow
If having newborn baby twins is tiring Jennifer Lopez out, you'd never know it by looking at her. J Lo and Marc ducked into their car after a news conference today in Moscow, where they're set to appear at tonight's MUZ TV music awards. Little Max and Emme weren't with her for the afternoon, but we know they don't have a nanny so they can't be too far from mom and dad. As if dual baby care and her super busy career isn't enough, rumor has it that Jennifer will be using her new reality TV show to launch yet another clothing line.

Ornamental herb. Grows well in pots on your patio. PLEASE NOTE: Plant not approved for human consumption.
The Stevia plant has been grown and prized in South America for many centuries as the native Indians recognised and used the sweet properties of these plants leaves. The food sweetening potential of Stevia has now been recognised in many countries around the world and commercial processing techniques have been developed to extract the sweetness and add this to other ingredients to produce low sugar foods and artificial sweetening tablets. In the US, Canada, Japan and Switzerland among other countries, the legislation around the sale of these plants is different to in the UK. Here we are governed by strict legislation that does not permit the sale of this plant for any use other than its ornamental qualities. The plant has hairy green foliage and insignificant small white flowers, growing to around 25-35cm (10-14") in height, providing the leaves are not picked to trim the plant. Sow: March-July. Flowers: September-October. Height: 50cm.
Full growing instructions given on packet.
Sow your seeds in a propagator (or pot covered with a piece of glass) using good quality, moist compost and place on a light, warm windowsill. Be careful not to over water. When small shoots appear - remove glass or vent your propagator to encourage growth. When your seedlings are 3cm (1¼") high transfer them to larger individual 7cm (2¾") pots and continue to grow on the windowsill. Plant out in a sunny, sheltered position when all risk of frost has past. Pinch out the growing tips to encourage bushy growth.

There is no doubt that Justin Long is a funny guy. After all, his resume is filled with hilarious performances in films like Dodgeball, Waiting, Accepted, and Idiocracy. So imagine his surprise when he got the call from director Sam Raimi to play the straight man in his new horror film, Drag Me to Hell.
Long said, "I kind of thought Sam was calling me because there was a clown in the film that comes into different scenes intermittently to throw up or juggle for comic relief. But it turns out he saw me in Live Free or Die Hard and liked my performance enough to want me in Drag Me to Hell."
"I guess it's a good thing Sam hadn't seen me in my other roles, or maybe I wouldn't have even gotten the call from him," Long joked.
In Drag Me to Hell Long plays Clay Dalton, the sensible psychology teacher boyfriend of Alison Lohman's Christine, who has the misfortune of being cursed to hell by an elderly gypsy woman (Lorna Raver) because of her own selfishness.
Long is generally known to audiences as the guy who comes in and steals scenes in his usual easy-going, sly comedic fashion. This time around Long was happy to take a backseat and play a supporting role.
"I am so used to coming into comedy projects where they invite you to ad lib and improv just to improve a scene," explained Long. "With Drag Me to Hell I came in with the understanding that it was my job to fully support Alison's character and to move her performance along in the film. This was a vehicle for Alison as an actress, and I think she did an amazing job."
Over the last several years Long has had the opportunity to hone his ability to rein in his hilarious nature and deliver more serious performances. Drag Me to Hell provided the perfect environment for Long to continue to grow as a serious performer, mostly due to the direction of Raimi.
Long said, "I have always naturally had the impulse to rely on comedy as a safety net. When I was working on He's Just Not That Into You, the director initially taught me ways of reining that impulse in. Then, while working with Sam, I learned when to subtly add a touch of humor when the scene called for it and how to use his reactions to my work as a barometer for how my performance played out on camera."
Working with Raimi was a dream come true for him. "I've always been a huge fan of his work and grew up watching Evil Dead 2 and Army of Darkness. Then seeing his work in movies like The Gift or A Simple Plan made me realize what an amazing storyteller he is."
In fact, the actor found working with Raimi to be an experience beyond anything he could have ever hoped for.
"Sam was the most collaborative director I've ever worked with," explained Long. "Even though he's such a meticulous and stylized director, he gave me a lot of room as an actor to work."
"He's (Raimi) probably the nicest guy working in the industry right now so I think it's sort of funny that you get these over-the-top horror movies from him. I think he internalizes anything bad that happens around him and then unleashes all of that darkness into his scripts," Long added.
Being a horror fan himself, Long was a bit bummed that he wasn't able to get in on some of the action like Lohman or Raver did on set.
"I love special effects and blood and using prosthetics so yes, I was a little jealous I wasn't getting to do all of that like the ladies did. But at the same time the lazy 30-year-old in me was happy that I got to relax more and go home every night," Long said.
Drag Me to Hell opens in theatres this Friday, May 29th!

An Improved Method for Growing Mature Corn (Zea Mays L.) by Solution Culture1
- C. A. Osmond and
- R. B. Clark2
A method for growing corn (Zea mays L.) plants to maturity in nutrient solutions is described. Plants were grown in 18-liter polyethylene containers, and held upright by wires extending from a center dowel which was securely fastened to the tight-fitting container lid. Ease, simplicity, and flexibility made it convenient to use. No special equipment was required. The method overcame many of the problems inherent with sand and gravel cultures.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

Virtual Gambling | Welcome To The World Of Online Casinos
My name is Gerard Maholik. If you found my website, it is more than likely that you are interested in the world of gambling in general, and specifically online casinos. I made a name for myself by playing professional blackjack. To say that I know a thing or two about online casinos is an understatement. I was part of the original group that cracked the bonus scheme in the late 1990s. In a way, it is my fault that you now have to deal with insane wagering requirements. And I'm sorry.
To make it up to everyone, I'm offering this handy guide to the online casino world. I will impart you with a lot of the knowledge I learned the hard way. A lot of it is still relevant today. The most important thing you are likely to learn from me, if you take anything away at all, is contained right here, on the homepage. It is the list of most honest casinos on the internet. You might think the list changes from year to year, but it doesn't. It stays largely the same because only a good casino can stand the test of time.
Here we go, the best online casinos in the world:
And here they are in a bit more detail:
Royal Vegas
The amazing Royal Vegas is now legendary, and deserves to be inducted into the online casinos hall of fame. Where else would you find the most advanced graphics engine on the market and the most reliable software platform with the most realistic random number generator on earth all in one place? And with a $1,200 bonus to boot? This casino is a no brainer. Back in the days when I used to go around jacking casino bonuses, it was for small sums of $100 or $200 max. $1,200 was unheard of at the time. There is so much you can do with that kind of money, that it requires an entire article just to explain it. What you need to know is that the Royal Vegas is FUN. The look of it all is slick and polished and the games are always top notch. I'm recommending all the casinos on this list. But Royal Vegas has treated me especially well over the years.
Spin Palace
I have to admit that I have a soft spot for slot machines. I didn't when I played exclusively in Atlantic City. I saw them as a huge waste of time. Sitting there in front of spinning wheels with nothing to do but pull a lever, hoping to win a few hundred bucks was not my idea of fun. Things have changed since those days. Slot machines have advanced to the point that they are not just fun. They are a LOT of fun. And the jackpots have grown with age as well. Today, you are likely to find million dollar jackpots by default. If you enjoy slot machines, then, where else would you play them but at the premier slot machine casino on earth? That's Spin Palace in a nutshell. It's all set up for maximum enjoyment of slots and massive jackpots.
Grand Reef
Every casino has its shtick. The Grand Reef is no exception. It is set underwater? It sounded ridiculous to me. Ridiculous, that is, until I checked it out thanks to a colleague's advice. It was supposed to be an Australia only casino. The kind of small operation for a niche market that goes under the radar. That kind of casino always boosted its payout rate to draw in more crowds to make up for the small market it targets. Well, guess what? The Grand Reef casino only markets itself to Australians, but it will not turn away business from you or me or anyone else. This is the kind of opportunity that you need to pounce on. They are a very reliable casino with great terms. The underwater theme is take it or leave it for me, but most people I know who play there absolutely love it. It is certainly different than what you usually see.
Everyone who has been playing online casino since the 90s knows that Europalace is old guard. A lot of people cut their teeth at this casino. It is highly recommended to this day because it has something I like to call the "secret bonus advantage". This means that they go around telling everyone that their bonus is $200 bucks, in hope of turning away bonus whores. To the real players they turn around and say, "oh, hey, here's $1,500 free…and you don't even need to deposit a dime to get it!" You read that correctly. They have one of the last no deposit bonuses on earth. You can play at this casino for basically no risk and if you win anything it is yours to keep. How many online casinos can boast this? Back in the 90s, many of them did. Good thing they are old school and retained their original mission of being the most attractive casino on earth. Attractive, that is, as in irresistible to play all kinds of games, incl. many different roulette versions, at.
You have to realize that this list is not in any sort of order. Because if it were, Jackpot City Casino would be way, way at the top (as would every other casino on this list). I'm crazy for JackpotCity because they have a different mission statement than anyone else. They knew that in a saturated market, with big casinos dominating the roost they needed to have something amazing to offer. They found that thing and kudos to them for having the guts to go ahead with it. Their mission statement is "more jackpots more often" and they absolutely mean it. This casino is designed from the ground up to pay out more money than any other casino on earth. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or an expert in casino games. Everyone likes to win. And winners happen more often at JackpotCity than at any other casino on earth. It is such a smart strategy that JackpotCity is now reaching the top tiers of the casino world and will be around for a very long time.
888 Casino
Unless you have been living under a rock for the past fifteen years you have heard of the legendary 888 Casino. This is pretty much all the endorsement they need because they are the most well known brand in the industry. You don't get to be a publicly traded company and have thousands of employees worldwide for being a bit operation. If you are looking at a casino's lasting power, 888 is at the top of the pile. Everything about 888 says quality. From the state of the art in house developed software to the really generous $1,400 bonus. The 888 Casino is always on top of every technology development and are always the first to adopt them. They were the first to bring live casino to the masses and the first to offer full 3D (with glasses) graphics. Their customer service is award winning and the experience as a whole is by far the most high end. It figures, since they are the largest casino on earth, with 25 million players worldwide. That kind of popularity is not achieved overnight. You can play for free in the demo mode at 888 in order to check out your gaming strategy.
I know for a fact that many of you reading this right now are also sports enthusiasts. Many of you are sitting there, wondering where the best online sports betting is to be found. Maybe there is a casino that offers sports betting in addition to world class casino games? There is, and it's called Betway. This is a relatively new casino, and it definitely feels like it is in touch with what people want today. Everything is new and shiny and up to date. And they have gambling options to please any type of player. Betway did not come out of a vacuum, though. They were a top sports betting destination before they even became a famous online casino. This is a great place to play no matter what. Betway features very loose games with big payouts you hear about every week. They have lots of games of every kind, including exotic and difficult to find games, such as Asian imports. You will definitely want to read the instructions before trying those out. Betway is the most versatile jack of all trades in the casino world. If you were to only pick one, you would choose Betway just for the variety. You will definitely not get bored.
But…Are they safe?
You have no doubt heard a lot of horror stories about online casinos. I have been through it all. Let me be honest for a moment and tell you that back in the 90s and early 2000s there were some pretty shady operations taking people's money. It was like taking candy from a baby because these casinos were often in some offshore location with no jurisdiction and completely anonymous.
Things have changed.
Many online casinos, and certainly all the casinos I recommend, seek official state licensing. The most trusted license, obviously comes from the European Union. If you see that a casino is licensed either in Gibraltar or Malta, you can rest assured that you are in good hands. These countries have strict regulations on the industry. They require that any licensed casino has to go through mandatory checks.
The casino has to work with a third party to make sure that the software is honest, that the casino pays on time, that there are no complaints from customers, and a whole laundry list of checkpoints that have to be ticked off. These organizations are either state agencies or independent third party contractors. The biggest ones are TST and eCOGRA. If you see the seal of approval from either of these sites, the casino you're looking at has gone through rigorous testing to make sure it is on the up and up.
Don't just go by a seal logo, though. Definitely click the seal to get linked to the testing organization's website. There, you will find publicly posted results from all their testing. These pages are updated regularly, so you would definitely know if anything had changed.
One of these testing companies, eCOGRA, actually has a very interesting history behind it. The name stands for e-Commerce Online Gambling Regulation. It was the brainchild of two of the biggest industry players in history. The 888 Casino and Microgaming got together in 2002 to discuss the fact that rogue casinos were destroying the industry and the lack of regulation would lead to complete distrust of all casinos. They knew that unless governments somehow were to step in and put order in the chaos their own operations would go down with the sinking ship.
They instituted eCOGRA as a not for profit organization for the specific purpose of making sure a casino is honest. Governments got on board and soon enough the industry instituted regulation for itself. This is a very different story from what you hear all the time, with big corporations lobbying against regulation so that they could run free and do whatever they want. It is a powerful message that resonates not just within the gambling industry, but through the world of business as a whole.
Maybe I should not go so far as to call the online casino industry a beacon of honesty and integrity, but I would not be far off the mark. This is an industry that saw what dishonesty would do, and decided to strike out and make sure they are trusted. So yes, online casinos today are absolutely safe to play at. All the security measures ensure it. Governments stand behind them. The software is beyond reproach. If you play at any of my recommended casinos you can rest assured that they are both "safe and fair," as eCOGRA likes to say. I guarantee it.

The House of Representatives spending reports posted on the Internet for the first time this week show how much lawmakers are spending on office supplies, salaries, travel, catering and the like. The reports also highlight another option open to lawmakers -- giving money back to the government.
For instance, Alabama Rep. Spencer Bachus, the top Republican on the House Financial Services Committee, is listed as returning money to the U.S. Treasury between July 1 and Sept. 30 "for reduction of the public debt." How much? $276.26.
That's Bachus' quarterly share of a recent congressional pay raise, his spokesman Tim Johnson said. It reflects the nine-term congressman's "long-standing practice of not accepting a COLA (cost-of-living increase) in the middle of a term," Johnson said.
The full spending reports can be found here.
Meanwhile, The Sunlight Foundation, a non-partisan group that is pushing for greater transparency in government, plans to seek volunteers online who can help turn the unwieldy 3,397-page PDFs of expenses into a searchable database, said policy director John Wonderlich. He said it could take "thousands and thousands of manhours to digitize" the documents.
"It's a very big step forward," he said of the House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's decision to post the expenses online, but "it's also not far enough."

text: Battleship is Splash Warfly's stage. The beginning of the stage starts off on a Battleship. In it, the player has to destroy three sub-bosses (Dragon Blaster, Fighter Aircraft and Humanoid Bridge) before fighting Splash Warfly. After defeating the Fighter Aircraft, the player will be transported to the next part of the Battleship, where the ship is on fire. After defeating the Dragon Blaster, the layer will move to another part of the Battleship, again on fire. After defeating the Humanoid Bridge, the player will proceed to a shipwrecked Battleship area, where upon reaching the end of it, the fight with Splash Warfly will take place, with four large pieces of floating rocks as the setting.

Congressman Bill Foster (IL-11) released the following statement on the immigration proposal announced today by a bipartisan group of senators.
"Today's proposal is an important first step towards enacting desperately needed reforms to our broken immigration system. This issue has been pushed aside for too long -- it's time for Congress to take quick action and pass a comprehensive package that includes providing law enforcement authorities the tools they need to secure our borders, a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants already in the country, and a more secure and efficient system for legal immigration.
"Voters sent a clear message last November that it's time to end the partisan political posturing and start working across the aisle. I'm encouraged to see that a group of senators received that message and am hopeful that my colleagues in the House will follow suit.
"I am particularly pleased to see a bipartisan consensus forming around Senator Durbin's leadership on this issue, and I look forward to working with Congressman Gutierrez to produce a similar breakthrough on the House side."

NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) Yahoo faces pressure to invest more in social networking as it sees a dramatic shift by Web audiences to sites like MySpace, YouTube and Facebook, analysts said Wednesday.
Yahoo may become more aggressive in buying a fast-growing social network, analysts said, amid speculation it is interested in smaller MySpace rival Facebook.
That pressure is already high since Web rival Google agreed to buy video sharing site YouTube for $1.65 billion last week.
"Facebook is only of value if Yahoo pays the right price," said Jim Friedland, analyst with Cowen & Co., referring to reports the two companies discussed a $1 billion price tag.
After years of charging premium ad prices to reach users of its websites and communities, Yahoo now blames a weaker growth outlook partly on a glut of competing advertising on the hugely popular social networking sites.
The deeper risk for Yahoo is seeing its vast base of users consolidate or even contract as impatient Internet audiences find new corners to frequent on the Web, drawing away even more advertiser dollars, analysts said.
"Those people who have been using Yahoo for some time continue to do so, but they are not necessarily adding the new user population to it," said Martin Pyykkonen, analyst at Global Crown Capital who rates the stock at "overweight."
Pyykkonen noted that Yahoo's growth in total users to its sites slowed to about 2% in the third quarter from a rate closer to 8% in the first quarter. Meanwhile, social networks are growing at double- and triple-digit rates.
"There's some number of people out there who have become MySpace and YouTube users," he said. "It's not a death blow, it's a natural reflection of where the growth rate is going."
Yahoo shares fell more than 4% Wednesday. The company Tuesday reported a 37% drop in quarterly profit due to higher stock option costs and weaker advertising from its corporate clients.
New rivals rise
Investment houses Stifel Nicolaus and Needham & Company cut their price targets on the share, while Piper Jaffray lowered its rating to "market perform" from "outperform."
New data on Internet visits underscores the growth story behind social networking.
Yahoo's biggest online properties combined account for 10% of Internet visits, according to data for the week ending Oct. 14 provided by tracking firm Hitwise.
MySpace is closing in on that lead with a 7.7% market share. Its home page became the single leading Internet site in August and now commands a 4.6% share of visits, according to Hitwise, while its e-mail ranks No. 5 with a 3.1% share, compared with Yahoo Mail's 4.4%.
Yahoo is also in the midst of a major overhaul of its own sites like travel and finance to give them more social network-like appeal, borrowing ideas from its other community-oriented properties like photo-sharing site Flickr.
Yahoo Chief Executive Terry Semel signaled to investors Tuesday that the company is looking closely at how to harness new forms of Internet growth.
"We believe now is the time to make investments in new audiences and new ways to engage them to ultimately build new revenue opportunities," Semel told a conference call.
"We plan to further invest, evaluate and secure leading positions in the areas where we see the biggest growth opportunities in social media, video, and mobile access," he said. "Clearly some new players have emerged in these areas that have attracted a lot of attention."
Yahoo shares fell $1.01 cents to $23.14 on the Nasdaq. Google was slightly off at $419.44.

One of our favorite bike projects to date! And one of our most satisfied customers who got to see his dream bike come alive. We started with a used Marin frame that was donated and Michael had it professionally repainted. He brought it back to us and we built it up for him using a mix of new and used parts. It's a speedy, light, yet comfortable hybrid with great lines. And check out that fork! Very cool.

This year, both Martin and Jose chose to take bikes that had been donated, strip them down to the frame, overhaul and/or replace all parts, and then put them back together. Congrats, guys! You both showed great perseverance!!

Resident Evil Apocalypse
January 16, 2011 by Post Team
Resident Evil Apocalypse, Afterlife is the fourth installment in the Resident Evil series and continues the story line starring Milla Jovovich as Alice. Ali Larter returns from the third film, RE: Extinction, if interesting information is the return of Sienna Guillory as Jill Valentine from the sultry second film, Resident Evil: Apocalypse. The action film with shouts and some pretty decent 3D effects, but depending on your beliefs of 3D, it can still be a gadget. The action and strangeness should entertain you, but do not expect an Oscar-winning film. This movie does improve the poorest sections of the latest movie and entertainment on the screen. This film is not the best of the series, but better than the last installment and quite enjoyable. The suggestion of Resident Evil: Afterlife is if you're a fan of the series, no doubt it will be bought, but if you're using the film-viewer, while the rent.
The film RESIDENT EVIL franchise all started way back in 2002 with Paul WAS Anderson at the helm. The series has been greeted with a huge fanfare and comments indeed terrible, but the boy did a lot of money at the box office. A $ 100 000 000 letters, most box offices guaranteed a sequel, and two years later he came in the form of RESIDENT EVIL: APOCALYPSE. Despite not making more money, the film makes a profit, so again the third part, Resident Evil: Extinction has been deployed in production, and released in 2007. The fourth film, Resident Evil: Afterlife was the cinema in 2010, and this week has been released for the original format, the original writer / director back at the helm, a Milla Jovovich reprising her role of Alice.
The new film sees Alice to join a group of survivors in most apocalyptic, zombie infested and even Los Angeles. The entire film sees them attempt to escape the skyscrapers skyscrapers in the asylum of the mysterious "Arcadia." The only thing that stand in their hundreds were are the walking dead hungry for blood around them.
I kinda liked the sound of the premise, although not a fan of the original film I have been interesting to see why Anderson returned to the franchise he helped create. The electoral success of Death Race, which, while brain and forgetful, I was really entertained. Unfortunately Resident Evil: Afterlife did not.
The things I liked (start with the positive). I liked the introduction of the character Chris Redfield (the original game), I loved the heavy ax blade manic / brandishing a hood and I liked a sequence of action means a point where Alice McClane John said outside skyscraper in Los Angeles with dozens of brainless zombies to follow, and plunging to their (second) death. It's … about it.
The things I did not like. Where to begin … agree, the script. First point, you know a bad script when you look at the movie for the first time and begin to quote the lines before the actors say. Point two: quality. Wentworth Miller is inroduced Chris Redfield, but unfortunately very little meat for food. The character has no depth and is not explored as much as I liked it was, especially as I recalled the game, and I really wanted to see where the filmmakers would need this. . Nowhere. Point three, 3D, or the lack of DVD (the format in which I reviewed). 3D there is no option, but the film is literred with objects constantly thrown at the camera, be it bullets, ninja stars, coins, trunk or f-off Milla Jovovich two big guns. Action set pieces are in place and implemented at no cost to the new format, which bars a scene in a shower soaked in water in the central part of the film does not work on the small screen. He really started to irritate me after awhile.

Carroll County voters go to the polls Tuesday to decide party primary races for Kentucky's top jobs.
Carroll County deputy clerk Patty Mefford said the polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday.
But she noted that Democratic voters will not see Gov. Steve Beshear's name on the ballot. Mefford explained that he is unopposed in his bid for re-election and will not be on the ballot until November.
Northern Kentucky University marketing students say Carroll County has many strengths it can use to attract new business, industry, residents and visitors by making better use of the Internet and social media tools, such as Facebook, Twitter and text messaging.
Carrollton City Council unanimously awarded phase one of the Two Rivers RV park construction to Ohio Valley Asphalt LLC at its meeting Monday. Council members Robb Adams and Larry Morgan were not present for the vote.
County to rank ADF applications
Carroll County Fiscal Court has received three applications for its Area Development Funds grants. The Park-to-Park Trails Project, Port William Historical Society and American Legion Ladies Auxiliary have applied for some or all of the $5,670 available in Carroll County. At the April 27 meeting, Judge-Executive Harold "Shorty" Tomlinson said fiscal court will rank priority on the applications at its next meeting. The final determination for funding will be made by the Northern Kentucky Area Development District.
Tractor collectors will be participating in the ninth annual Antique Tractor Show in Carrollton on May 6-8. From 9 a.m. until dark, Pioneer Power Club members and out of town guests will be displaying their tractors.
Each year the Pioneer Power Club plays host to an annual Mother's Day weekend tractor show. Local crafters will be on hand, a petting zoo will be set up for children and working demonstrations of a rock crusher, hay baler, antique engines can be seen throughout the weekend.
On May 9 at 11:30 a.m. the City of Carrollton will be recognized by the nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation as a Tree City USA community for its commitment to urban forestry. Carrollton has earned this national designation for 18 years. The program will be held at the small park where Highland Avenue and Park Avenue meet.
Kentucky State Police is investigating a fatal collision that occurred Friday, April 29 in Carroll County resulting in the death of a Hanover, Ind. woman.
Through investigation, troopers determined that a vehicle driven by Reba Kaltenbacher crossed the centerline near the 5000 block of state Hwy. 36 and hit an oncoming commercial vehicle head-on. Kaltenbacher, 60, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Carroll County Coroner.
The victim was restrained during the collision. The two passengers of the commercial vehicle involved in the collision were uninjured.
Two fallen officers who once served the City of Carrollton and Carroll County will be honored May 13 in a public ceremony as part of National Law Enforcement Officer Memorial Week.
Carrollton Police Chief Ronnie C. Carter, who was 23 years old and served as acting chief for just one week before his death, was killed in an accident at a service station. The former chief was crushed by a vehicle and died instantly on April 8, 1969.

Working with children of all ages has always been one of my top strengths and it keeps my mind active, searching for new connections. I usually learn something new or create an enhanced thought pattern when teaching someone else and this is important to me since I strive for constant expansion.
I grew up as the oldest child and have been essentially the male guardian to my 14 year old sister. Before the age of 2, she was able (among other skills) to say the alphabet backward in less than 10 seconds and could perform a few self defense moves. That isn't a highlight of my favorite subjects, simply an example of the variety of areas I can teach. I have extensively taught all my siblings in numerous classes as well as several of my nieces/nephews and the occasionally temporary tutoring job with kids and adults.
Children and animals love me. I've babysat countless times for my siblings and their friends. My sister's friend's parents trust me to watch over their children. I've been in charge of groups of kids during field trips, sports teams, have organized games for them, tutored...etc. etc.
I have been a Teachers Aide, a Library Aide, a coach, a guest speaker of psychology and philosophy, an umpire, etc., so have an enormous amount of experience teaching both kids and adults as well as keeping children on task. I have created resumes for ESL adults and assisted them in writing cover letters.
I am an excellent coach and believe that is my absolute strongest skill. Teaching is quite similar to coaching so isn't too far behind.
I always feel enriched when I teach someone something new and witness them apply their new knowledge, especially children. At times when others would lose patience, I just smile even more knowing I have the capability to view struggles in an optimistic light and enjoy challenging myself to discover a way to get through to the specific individual.
Each fully functioning human has the innate desire to learn. The motivation is already there. It's just that other stimuli/emotional upsetness/imbalance of nutrients/lack of exercise/etc. can interfere with this. Each child wants to learn, you simply have to provide the fodder for the wanted consternation by relating the task to something in which they identify. Once there is an established dynamic and rhythm, the people I have taught become interested in my analogies/relations and start learning at an accelerated pace.
I am completely comfortable and quite capable of accomplishing tasks in an efficient, precise, calm and timely manner. I am an expert organizer and profoundly meticulous and can incorporate these traits into your required curriculum. I am a quick and proficient learner and can adapt to most situations well and stay patient and optimistic during situations in which most would lose their cool.
Thank you for reading and if you choose me to assist you in one of the areas in which I'm familiar, you will not be disappointed.

When my husband and were looking for someone to spend a few weeks with Lucia to work on her reading and math we had no idea of the "true gem" that we would find.
while you were here you gave us idea's that were easy to implement in our home, brought us closer together as a family, and made us laugh a lot!
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for everything you have done for our daughter to help her succeed in and out of school.
You are "a natural" at being a life coach-mentor-tutor, and have our vote for anyone requesting your services in the future.
Derrick has been amazing with my son who is on the spectrum with his reading skills. When Derrick first started tutoring, my son could read very little. Now he is gaining confidence and although he is still behind his peers he is making huge progress with Derrick and his teachers are noticing! Derrick has incorporated many different ways of teaching my son to figure out what keeps him engaged and he does a great job with motivating him by giving him rewards that are meaningful. Derrick is funny, patient, knowledgeable, and dependable. I would recommend him to any parent looking to help their child improve their reading skills!
Derrick is a great teacher, I have been trying to pass this writing test for almost two years, with Derrick help I finally passed it.
Derrick B. was very good in tutoring me. I did learn some math concepts. Math comes very hard to me and I haven't used my math in years. It's very hard to use math when I haven't used fractions in years. Derrick was very patient and understanding. You can't go wrong by having Derrick for a tutor. (2010)
Derrick B. Tutored me again in (2012). I found Derrick to be a very good tutor and has alot of patience for a person who doesn't quite understand math. I would recommend Derrick to my closest friend.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Coaching is easily one of my top 3 most evolved abilities; both for a team and for individuals.
I have attending camps, played on and coached for several years in all the sports I have listed interest in. I have acquired multiple varsity letters.
I have plenty of stories, but from a coaching aspect, here is my best: at the end of a middle school age important hockey game which I was coaching, we needed a goal with less than a minute left. I rotated in our decisively worst player who I had been working with. Parents and teammates were obviously mad and if they hadn't respected me, they most certainly would have been yelling in my face. But the child's dad who he rarely sees was watching intently, my player had been calmly following the strategy and his role all game, and he was the most rested player. So I felt the game and put him in. After the puck found his stick, I yelled "shoot!!" as loud as I could and this insecure kid BLASTED in a shot from center. Everyone on our side went crazy and his dad practically hugged me. A beautiful moment in several people's lives and more important to me than my own accolades, such as the time I scored the winning goal in our team's soccer championship.
In addition:
During pick up games, my team usually wins AND my teammates have more fun when I am the "team captain".
I have been a huge sports fan all my life: playing, watching, motivating, studying, and coaching. I learned the fundamentals and studied the game...not just watched the ball as most viewers do. Anyone who has watched a game with me has been impressed with my insight that is nearly always more accurate and precise than the announcers who are calling it. For example: in football, I can call an incomplete or complete pass before it leaves the QB's hands and am right way more often than not.
I understand these sports and all aspects involved.
Whether it be motivating, running drills, discovering patterns and making on the fly adjustments, and tweaking techniques to increase the quality and potential of a certain player, I am your man.
