The framework for a new farm bill is in place. However, funds to pay for it remain elusive.
Speaking at an April 4 press conference, Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said the framework — which he isn't enthusiastic about — had come about as "the result of very intense negotiations between the Senate and House.
"In consultation with the conferees … we've made a good deal of progress towards crafting the bill. (We're) working diligently towards the April 18 deadline, when the current short-term extension expires.
"Our framework assumes the $10 billion above baseline funding that's been agreed for some time. This $10 billion along with some funds scrubbed from the baseline, will allow us to meet our obligations and priorities: farm income protection, specialty crops, nutrition, conservation and energy."
A new disaster program "that a few people want" will also be included as will new funding for environmental and energy programs.
Another area, nutrition, will also get more funds — something House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel insists upon following the Congressional Budget Office projection that 28 million American families will be on the food stamp rolls in 2009.
Currently, plans for the new farm bill allocate $9.5 billion for nutrition and $4 billion for disaster programs.
"It has been a challenging process," allowed Harkin. "We're trying to accommodate all the expectation and demands with limited funding … but in the end I think we'll have a pretty decent bill."
Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa and Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota have introduced a four-point plan developed by a Nebraska think tank (see http://deltafarmpress.com/farmbill/grassley-dorgan-0402/). Proponents say the plan would save money through payment limitations that would help bridge the farm bill's funding gap.
Harkin didn't dismiss the plan outright. "It isn't clear that it'll make any headway (considering) the makeup of committees. You know where the votes are on this. You know where my vote is. I could support it and I like it. But I don't know if it will sail. It might — it might be an item that comes up in conference and we'll see where the votes are."
What are Harkin's views on beneficial interest when farmers own grain after they've received loan deficiency payments?
"Again, I don't know how many votes in conference will be to change that. I know the (Bush) administration is hot for it. But, let's face it: there are votes in committee that aren't….
"Reforms are all right. I agree there should be reforms and voted that way. But my vote didn't carry. But (such things) won't gain a whole heck of a lot of money. It's more an idea of fairness in equity than anything else."
Harkin also addressed rumors that a chief holdup on new legislation is Republican senators defending direct payments and refusing to make concession on payment limits.
"That's factual…. There are some here that just won't budge on such things. But do they have the votes when the crunch comes? Do they want to kill the whole bill and stop it from passing?
"We will vote on that. And, as far as I'm concerned as chairman of the conference, those will be open votes and we'll see what people want to do. They may prevail … but certainly people will know where the votes are ….
"I'm not very happy with (the framework) myself, to tell the truth. But we have to get the bill done. I'm not happy with some cuts in conservation (and) in energy. But, overall, I can support it and won't fight. It's better than nothing …. It's better than an extension (of current law) — much better than an extension."
Conservation spending is now pegged at $4 billion — "about halfway between the Senate and House (proposals). That makes sense when considering a compromise.
"I'd like to have more — and it's one of the things I'm not too happy about in this bill. Here we are, plowing more land and planting more crops to respond to market conditions. And we know what's happening to our soil and water. We know what's happening in the Gulf of Mexico. We know what's happening in our rivers and streams. I know what Des Moines is telling me about the cost to clean up the intake systems for drinking water. A lot of N and K are leaching into our waterways.
"In response to higher prices, farmers are putting on more fertilizer …. That's why I pushed so hard on the CSP program — to give farmers incentives to better apply and not (overuse) fertilizer, to do things like minimum tillage. If we don't do that, we'll continue to mine our land — almost strip mine it ….
"The best we can do is provide meaningful economic incentives to help farmers do what they want to do anyway. But they feel they can't do (those things) because of economic pressures. That's why CSP — and EQIP, as well — are vitally, vitally important."

Under the Drug Abuse Treatment Act (DATA) of 2000 for opiate dependence for which only a physician can prescribe, the first narcotic drug available is Suboxone which is (buprenorphine with naloxone) Methadone is available to be dispensed at only a few detox centers and there are not enough treatment centers available. Suboxone is for maintenance treatment of opioid addiction and naloxone in the formulation is to deter intravenous misuse and reduce the symptoms of opiate dependence
Suboxone is only used for treatment in adults and young people over 16 years of age. Addiction in North America is three times the number of addicts as Europe, which has 1.1 million addicts. The treatment of suboxone is in the form of a tablet, which is only placed under the tongue until it is completely dissolved. It cannot be sucked or chewed as it has no value to the addict if administered in any way but under the tongue.
Suboxone Treatment in Greensburg, PA and ongoing support is critical at Pittsburgh's Premiere drug rehab JADE Wellness
Even though suboxone is intended for maintenance use, it can be used for detoxification. Maintenance therapy with suboxone works well with an older person who was on drugs but now wants to work at a job and be stable again. That older individual usually has failed at detoxification before and doesn't want the daily cravings of his old addiction. Suboxone is so successful that cravings immediately disappear and the person can go on with his old lifestyle.
The manufacturer of suboxone, Reckitt-Benckiser, works with other agencies along with the FDA in an in-depth risk-management plan. The manufacturer and pharmacies send the FDA quarterly reports in order for the FDA to maintain a comprehensive surveillance program reporting any abuse involving the drug. There are many agencies monitoring drug use.
DRUG ABUSE WARNING NETWORK (DAWN) actually gathers data from emergency rooms related to illicit use of drugs or non-medical use of a legal drug. DAWN is run by (SAMHSA), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

ESSEX Police are not linking two brutal murders in Colchester with a vicious killing in Swindon.
Hundreds of officers are searching for the killers of father-of-five James Attfield and University of Essex student Nahid Al-Manea who were both killed in Colchester and both subjected to horrific knife attacks.
Detectives in Swindon are investigating the death of a man in his 60s who was killed in "an extremely vicious attack" near an underpass near the railway station.
Prof David Wilson, who is a professor of Criminology Birmingham City University, has questioned whether there are links between the Colchester and Swindon murders.
However, the line of inquiry has been ruled out by Essex Police.

|Natural range of Betula papyrifera
Betula papyrifera (paper birch,[3] also known as white birch[3] and canoe birch[3]) is a species of birch native to northern North America. It is the provincial tree of Saskatchewan and the state tree of New Hampshire.[4][5]
|This section does not cite any sources. (February 2013)
It is a medium-sized deciduous tree reaching 60 feet tall (18m), and exceptionally to 130 feet (40m) with a trunk up to 32 inches diameter (0.8m). They live to about 140 years. The bark is white, commonly brightly so, flaking in fine horizontal strips, and often with small black marks and scars. In individuals younger than five years, the bark appears brown with white lenticels, making the tree much harder to distinguish from other trees. The leaves are alternate, ovate, 1-5 in. long and 2-4 in. broad, with a doubly serrate margin. The leaf buds are conical and small. They are green-colored with brown edges. The flowers are wind-pollinated catkins 1.5 in. long growing from the tips of twigs. The fruit matures in the fall. The mature fruit is composed of numerous tiny winged seeds packed between the catkin bracts. They drop between September and spring.
Paper birch handles heat and humidity poorly and may only live 30 years in zones six and up, while trees in colder-climate regions can exceed 50 years and grow to much larger sizes. When stressed, it can succumb to bronze birch borer beetles.
Betula papyrifera has a wide range. It is found in interior (var. humilus) and south-central (var. kenaica) Alaska and in all provinces and territories of Canada, except Nunavut, as well as the northern continental United States, south to Pennsylvania and Washington, with small isolated populations further south in mountains to North Carolina, New Mexico, and Colorado. The most southerly stand in the Western United States is located in Long Canyon in the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. This is an isolated Pleistocene relict that most likely reflects the southern reach of boreal vegetation into the area during the last Ice Age.[6]
Betula papyrifera is a pioneer species; for example, it is frequently an early invader after fire in Black Spruce Boreal forests.[7] B. papyrifera requires high nutrients and sun exposure. The bark is highly weather-resistant. Often, the wood of a downed paper birch will rot away leaving the hollow bark intact.[8] Birch bark is a winter staple food for moose. The nutritional quality is poor, but is important to wintering moose because of its sheer abundance. Although white-tailed deer consider birch a "secondary-choice food", it is an important dietary component. In Minnesota, white-tailed deer eat considerable amounts of paper birch leaves in the fall. Snowshoe hares browse paper birch seedlings.
The species is considered vulnerable in Indiana, imperiled in Illinois, Virginia, West Virginia and Wyoming, and critically imperiled in Colorado and Tennessee. When used in landscape planting, it should not be planted near black walnut as the chemical juglone, exuded from the roots of black walnut, is very toxic to paper birch.
Betula papyrifera has a soft,[citation needed] yet moderately heavy, white wood. It makes excellent high-yielding firewood if seasoned properly. Its bark is an excellent fire starter; it ignites at high temperatures even when wet.
While paper birch does not have a very high overall economic value, it is used in furniture, flooring, popsicle sticks[9] and oriented strand board. The sap is boiled down to produce birch syrup. Panels of bark can be fitted or sewn together to make cartons and boxes (a birchbark box is called a wiigwaasi-makak in the Anishinaabe language). The bark is also used to create a durable waterproof layer in the construction of sod-roofed houses.[8]
It is frequently planted as an ornamental, however, due to its intolerance of high temperatures, Betula nigra, or river birch, is recommended for warm-climate areas.
Many indigenous groups (i.e. Wabanaki peoples) use birch-bark for making various items such as canoes, containers and wigwams.

Sjogren's Syndrome
Sjogren's syndrome is an inflammatory disease. The immune system destroys cells in exocrine glands. It occurs most often in the tear and salivary glands. It is a lifelong condition. There are two types:
- Primary Sjogren's syndrome—occurs alone
- Secondary Sjogren's syndrome—occurs with other rheumatic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma or lupus
Salivary Glands Copyright
© Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
The causes of Sjogren's are unknown. Contributing factors may include:
- Viral infections
- Environmental factors
- Heredity
- Hormones
Factors that increase your risk for Sjogren's include:
- Sex: female
- Age: 40-60 years old
- Other rheumatic or autoimmune diseases
- Certain gene markers
Symptoms may include:
- Red, burning, itching, and/or dry eyes
- Dry mouth
- Difficulty swallowing
- Loss of taste and smell
- Dry skin, nose, throat, and/or lungs
- Swollen salivary glands
- Severe dental cavities caused by dry mouth
- Oral yeast infections
- Vaginal dryness
- Skin rashes
- Joint pain, swelling and stiffness
- Muscle pain
- Fatigue
In some cases, other parts of the body are affected as well. These include:
- Blood vessels
- The nervous system
- Organs such as the lungs, liver, pancreas, kidneys, and thyroid
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a specialist.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Urine tests
- Lip biopsy
Your eyes may be tested. This can be done with:
- Schirmer test
- Slit-lap examination
Images may also be taken of your bodily structures. This can be done with a chest x-ray.
There is no cure for Sjogren's. No treatment can restore the ability of the glands to produce moisture. The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms.
Treatments include:
To help relieve dryness:
- Artificial tears, artificial saliva, and vaginal lubricants
- Pilocarpine—ocular and oral dryness
- Cevimeline—requires less frequent dosing than pilocarpine, may cause nausea
To relieve joint and muscle pain:
- Aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
To relieve inflammation / swelling:
- Plaquenil—antimalarial drug with anti-inflammatory properties
- Steroids
- Methotrexate—a steroid-sparing agent
Lifestyle Measures
- Mild exercise can help relieve stiffness in the joints.
- To help relieve dry mouth, sip liquids often and suck on sugar-free candies.
- Brush, floss, and see your dentist regularly. This can help to prevent cavities.
- Use unscented moisturizers to help relieve dry skin.
This condition is generally benign. However, people with severe cases are at increased risk for developing non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. This is a cancer of the white blood cells. Your doctor will need to monitor you for this.

Mortgage Interest Rates: Where Are They Headed?
July 2, 2013
Today's $20,000 question is…Where are mortgage rates headed in the near future? Most believe the rapid rise in rates experienced over the last month will not be sustained and that they will level off into a range between 4% and 5%.
When recently asked, Zillow's director of Mortgage Marketplace, Erin Lantz suggested:
"It is impossible to predict. However, we expect there to be a lot of volatility, probably between 4.5% to 5%."
In Bankrate.com's Mortgage Rate Trend Index last week, 20% of the experts said rates would go up this week, 30% said rates would go down and 50% said they would remain unchanged.
What about going forward?
Doug Duncan, chief economist for Fannie Mae recently addressed where mortgage rates may eventually end up:
"I don't think the Fed ultimately would be troubled with a 6.5% mortgage rate."
Why wouldn't the Fed be troubled? They have artificially kept rates low in order to stimulate the economy. As economic indicators begin to show signs of a recovery, the stimulus will be pulled back and rates will rise.
Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's VP and chief economist confirms this:
"As the economy continues to improve, we expect to see continued upward movement in long-term interest rates."
Buckle in!! The rollercoaster ride will probably continue.

Model SiNet Hub444
Indexers & Oscillators
4 Axis Hub for Multi-Axis Applications
from $254.00/ea
The SiNet™ Hub 444 allows up to 4 Stepper or Servo Si™ drives to be controlled in host mode from a single PC or PLC's RS-232 serial port or will run in stand-alone mode. Each indexer-drive acquires its unique address from the port to which it is connected. This simple addressing scheme minimizes the cost of the drives, and more importantly, the cost of configuring and/or replacing drives in your system. Connections are made with low cost, reliable telephone cabling. Any of our popular, cost effective programmable Stepper or Servo Si™ drives or Si™ motor controls can be used with the SiNet™ Hub 444. By choosing the power level and features you need for each axis of your application, SiNet™ can provide a cost effective single or multi-axis motion solution.
The SiNet™ Hub 444 is powered by the drive that's connected to port #1, saving you the cost and installation expense of using a separate power supply. Our Si™ Command Language (SCL) allows a host PC or PLC to execute relative, absolute and homing moves, make status inquiries, sample inputs, set outputs, and more. If your application requires a single axis to operate in "host mode", you can connect any of our programmable Si™ drives directly to your PC via the SiNet Hub 444 and invoke the Siâ"¢ Command Language (SCL).
Our SiNet Programmer™ Windows software allows the user to create and store multi-axis motion control programs in the SiNet™ Hub 444 and run them without a PC. Thus allowing the user to create a complex multi-axis motion system controlled from an operator interface or trigger.

Today I bought a 46 Gallon oak bow front with stand, glass top, and Light for $80.00 used.
I filled it with water and no leaks
I have a 20 gallon with an AC 50 on it. I bought another AC 50 today. I am going to put the Aqueon Quiet flow 20 on the 20 Gallon and move the AC 50 along with the new AC 50 on the new tank. This will give me 2 AC 50s running on a 46 Gallon tank.
I cannot move the old filter until the Aqueon Quiet flow 20 has enough good bacteria. Any suggestion on the time it takes for an Aqueon to get a good colony going of BB?
Below are some pictures of the new tank and stand one with out water and one with water.
I am thinking about setting this tank up as river bed from south america. I want to have live plants.
Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.

Single Layer Headbasket Mod -
Like all OktavaMod upgrades, the MJE-K47 mod suite for the MCA SP1 starts with my signature single layer headbasket conversion. This mod increases headbasket open area to reduce internal reflections and coloration. You'll hear clearer, less "boxy" and more detailed sound with more accurate transient response – hallmarks of the classic AKG C12 – itself a single layer headbasket design.
MJE-K47 Capsule Upgrade -
Classic sound –
, is within reach. My MJE-K47 capsule was designed to track an actual Neumann K47 capsule through the important midrange then provide an extra touch of "air" at the very top end. You'll hear the classic mid-focused vocal punch of the K47 design with just a bit of modern sheen on top. When this frequency response extension is translated to the time domain it means faster and more accurate transient response as well. And faster, more accurate transient response means greater detail and resolution – without resorting to a high frequency EQ boost. And switching to the more sensitive MJE-K47 large diaphragm capsule will improve your mic's S/N ratio as well.

Note extended high frequency "air" provided by the 3 micron diaphragm MJE-K47 capsule
Premium Electronics Modification -
The circuit used in the MCA SP1 is a close approximation of a classic Schoeps transformerless design. But to save on production costs in the stock mic, inexpensive poor-sounding ceramic and under-sized capacitors are used in critical signal path locations. The MJE-K47 Mod Suite attacks these compromises by substituting components and topology pioneered in OktavaMod's field proven

modification. These component upgrades improve bass response while reducing graininess and mid-to-high frequency distortion.

Nissan may be the current leader in the global electric vehicle market with the mass-produced, all-electric Leaf, but the Japanese automaker isn't resting on its laurels. Nissan Senior Vice President for R&D Carla Bailo has revealed plans for further EV expansion, telling Automotive News that the global Nissan EV lineup will eventually grow to five models in total, including the Leaf.
The first additional Nissan EV model will be an electric version of the NV200 compact van, which could possibly become available as a zero-emissions taxi for New York City. The electric van has been tested in Europe by numerous delivery companies like FedEx and will be produced in Barcelona, Spain.
Nissan also unveiled the Infiniti LE concept at the 2012 New York auto show as a more luxurious version of the Nissan Leaf. It was expected to debut by 2014, however, we reported earlier this year that the Infiniti LE has been delayed, although Infiniti president Johan de Nysschen did confirm that an Infiniti electric vehicle will happen eventually.
At this point we don't know anything about the two other Nissan EVs that would bring the total number to five, but Bailo did say that future Nissan electric cars will use inductive charging systems which allow the cars to be charged wirelessly. This technology allows the batteries to be charged if the car is parked on a special charging mat, without requiring drivers to plug in a cable. This was previously thought to be a differentiating feature for Infiniti EVs exclusively, but Bailo told AN that this system would be used across all brands once the technology is ready.

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison is a very steep-sided canyon in the rugged Western half of Colorado. The first time you see it, you can barely believe it--the walls are so steep, it looks as if they should collapse any moment. It's so steep and deep that sunlight has difficulty making it all the way to the bottom, so the canyon looks black simply because of the deep shadows. The Gunnison River is still rapidly eroding the canyon, and its surface drops up to 240' per mile in the middle of the canyon. Rock climbing and kayaking in the gorge are for experts only, and whitewater rafting is too dangerous to be allowed. Our smallest available model is still 1:57200 scale, which is enough to reveal all the gulches, draws, and steep-sided eroded valleys running into the river, some 2000' below. While the Grand Canyon exceeds in magnitude, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison exceeds in incomparable slope. Put this on your desk and admire its rare combination of depth and steepness.
If you've been one of the lucky ones to hike the rim of the canyon, you'll find many familiar views as your eye flies over the terrain. The model starts just west of the Nation Park Service's visitor center and Gunnison Point and contains the entire South Rim Road, including Pulpit Rock Overlook, Cross Fissures View, Rock Point, Devils Lookout, Chasm View, Painted Wall View, Cedar Point, Dragon Point, Sunset View, High Point, and West beyond Warner Point. On the North rim, the map includes Island Peaks, Big Island View, Long Draw, Balanced Rock View, The Narrows View, Grizzly Gulch, the North Rim Campground, all of North Vista Trail up to the peak, and Serpent Point.
Model scale is 1:38200
Model covers an area approximately 3.6 by 3.6 miles
Altitudes covered: 5567' to 8578'

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "White Strong and Flexible" and "Sandstone" materials. This model is in "White Strong and Flexible." When you receive the model, there may still be Nylon dust on it from the printing process. Use either an airbrush, canned dust blower, or a soft old toothbrush to remove this dust. Do not get the "White Strong and Flexible" material wet, and don't prime it or use any oil-based paints on it. You can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.
The "Frosted Detail" material will show more detail, but is semi-transparent and has an uneven surface texture when unpainted (due to the orientation of the model when Shapeways prints it). It may show up feeling a little greasy and with small crystals in crevasses. Clean those off by soaking the model in warm (but not hot) soapy water and brushing with an old toothbrush. To get the surface to an even matte finish, spray with a few light coats of sandable primer (white automotive primer works), and then do a baking soda grit-blast.
These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please contact us and we'll try to accommodate your request.

Revisiting The Question Of Who Deserves Copyright
from the no-one-deserves-it dept
That post kicked off quite the discussion. Last I looked, there were close to 800 comments on that article, which may set a record. What struck me as interesting was that many critics of the post jumped to the conclusion that if you say it is wrong that anyone "deserves" copyright, it means that there should be no copyright at all. But that wasn't what the post said at all. It was pretty explicit (I thought!), that it was merely saying that any debate over copyright needs to focus on that question of whether or not it promotes the progress, and not on the moral argument that anyone "deserves" such a government granted monopoly. It was nice to see that much of the discussion in the comments was reasoned and well thought out (as always, there were a few exceptions to that), but so much of the debate simply seemed to assume that by arguing against using moral arguments, it was the equivalent of arguing against the entire system.
It may very well be that we'd be better off with no copyright system at all. I've seen arguments to that effect, but I don't think we have nearly enough data to support that position. I do think it's clear that if we had only two options: what we have today or no copyright at all, that no copyright would likely lead to greater societal benefit. But that's just an indication of how bad copyright law is today, not necessarily a total condemnation of copyright law itself. So, I'd like to restart this discussion, by making the point of that earlier post clear: by saying that the moral argument for copyright isn't valid, it's not saying that copyright itself is not necessarily valid. I'm just saying that the debate over copyright should be on the key factor: does it promote the progress or not, and are there better ways to promote the progress?
So, can we focus the next 800 or so comments on that?

The car has been serviced at the regular intervals at New Century BMW, I have all the previous records and receipts to prove it. I have also had regular oil changes at my mown expense. As far as the car's exterior condition,
it has NO DOOR DINGS and has only been out in the rain 15 times in 2.5 years.
It has also been washed every 2 weeks and polished/waxed every 3 months.
The gas tank has NEVER been past 1/4 full
and has been filled with 91 octane every time.
HPFP fixed once in December 2010 and has had all the recall issues fixed up until current.
There is nothing for me to hide. I'm very confident in my ability to keep this car in perfect condition.

There is still around 2 years left on this car for factory BMW warranty.

and was fixed by a professional body/paint shop. I had the front passenger feder replaced. It was a scrape while I was parked. Nothing serious and the frame was not damaged.
Price: $34,000
Price has some room to negotiate, but given the condition, mileage, and modifications that this car comes with, I think the price is fair. Will entertain only reasonable offers. Unreasonable offers will not be responded to.

Enough said.

After the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Conn., that took the lives of 26 innocent souls in mid-December 2012, numerous world leaders expressed their condolences and solidarity with the United States. One of these leaders was Enrique Peña Nieto, Mexico's new president who had been inaugurated just two weeks prior to the massacre. He must have viewed the shooting with a strange sense of irony, given that his country has been plagued with drug-related massacres in a daily basis for almost a decade.
Peña Nieto, along with many Mexican citizens, is probably also keeping an eye on the ensuing debate over new gun control measures, possibly hoping for restrictions that will keep Mexican drug cartels' weapons of choice from heading south across the border.
Despite the abundance of firearms on the streets of Mexico, it is incredibly difficult for Mexican citizens to legally obtain a firearm, although the Mexican constitution has a provision similar to our own Second Amendment. Even if a Mexican is able to successfully navigate the gauntlet of paperwork, fees and personal recommendations required to obtain a permit, he or she is limited to purchasing firearms with very low stopping power—.38-caliber or weaker—and can only buy them at Mexico's sole gun shop.
Mexican cartels obtain these firearms from several different places, but the United States is arguably the closest, cheapest, and most convenient source.
- Sylvia Longmire
Yes, you read that correctly. In the entire country of Mexico, there is only one store where citizens can legally buy firearms, and it's run by the army. Thus, it should come as no surprise that there are only about 6,000 firearms legally registered in Mexico.
As a result of these restrictions, Mexico's bloodthirsty drug cartels have had to resort for decades to arming themselves through the black market. If you think the internal gun control debate in the United States is bad, you should listen in on the debate over where the black market guns in Mexico come from.
To make a very long story short, the U.S. government asserts that the majority of illegally owned firearms in Mexico —to the tune of about 70 percent— are purchased in the United States. This assertion is largely based on trace data obtained from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Gun rights advocates and lobby groups like the National Rifle Association (NRA) contend that this claim is false, that trace data is inexorably flawed, and that most firearms in Mexico come from internal Mexican sources, Central America and other third-world countries. They also believe the trace data is manufactured and an attempt by the Obama administration to leverage those statistics into enacting highly restrictive gun control measures.
For the record, the Mexican government supports the U.S. government's stance. Former Mexican President Felipe Calderón had no trouble during his tenure pointing the finger of blame at the United States for all the guns flooding his country. After the movie theater massacre in Aurora, Colorado in July 2012, Calderón posted a message on Twitter that said, "Because of the Aurora, Colorado tragedy, the American Congress must review its mistaken legislation on guns. It kills." In December 2010, he made the bold and unprecedented move of using the rare privilege of time on the Congressional floor to call for the reinstatement of the expired 2004 assault weapons ban.
It is in this context that Mexico's collective ears perked up after the current gun control debate began here in light of the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting in December 2012. The term "assault weapons ban" started getting thrown around rather liberally, and some politicians have gone beyond just wanting to reinstate the old ban. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) introduced a bill into Congress last month that would ban the sale, transfer, manufacture and importation of 100 specialty firearms and certain semiautomatic weapons. The bill would also apply the same pariah status to magazines capable of holding more than ten rounds.
To understand the impact that both the old ban and the new proposed ban would have on southbound weapons trafficking, it's important to know what firearms Mexican cartels prefer to use and the manner in which they purchase those firearms. According to ATF and Mexican government seizure statistics, the most commonly recovered firearms in Mexico are .223-caliber Bushmaster rifles (one of these was found at the scene of the Sandy Hook massacre), 7.62mm Romarm/Cugir rifles (a.k.a. AK-47 variants), .223-caliber DPMS, Inc. rifles (a.k.a. AR-15 variants), and 5.7mm Fabrique Nationale Herstal pistols (which go by the brand name FiveSeven®). It should be noted that these pistols are capable of firing armor-piercing ammunition.
Mexican cartels obtain these firearms from several different places, but the United States is arguably the closest, cheapest, and most convenient source. Cartels hire U.S. citizens with no criminal history —known as straw purchasers, or strawmen— to walk into gun shops or attend gun shows and legally buy everything on their cartel-provided shopping list. The straw buyer fills out the appropriate ATF forms and submits to a background check, which he or she usually passes. After the purchase, the straw buyer hands off the weapons to a middle man, who makes arrangements for the guns to be transported across the border into Mexico and into cartel hands.
It should be noted that currently it is legal to manufacture, sell and own all of these firearms. However, if Senator Feinstein's proposed gun ban were to miraculously become law, all that would change. It specifically names 157 types of firearms to be prohibited, including all AK-47 and AR-15 variants, all Thompson rifles, Uzi-type pistols, and many more. Cartel straw buyers would no longer be able to purchase their favorite firearms through easy and legal means. Even private face-to-face sales of these weapons would be prohibited, and American gun enthusiasts would be more likely to stockpile and fiercely protect these guns rather than make a possibly shady sale that might land them in jail.
This situation would have a huge negative impact on cartel logistics. With one of their primary sources of preferred firearms effectively dried up, they would have to resort to much more costly and time-to-transport intensive sources. This isn't to say that most of the guns currently on Mexican streets would magically disappear, but the flow of these weapons from external sources into Mexico would certainly slow down, and perhaps allow seizures by Mexican authorities to finally get ahead of the curve. This is the ultimate desire of the Mexican government and citizenry. It would also be a huge political and diplomatic victory for the U.S. government, which is tired of being at the pointy end of Mexico's index finger.
In reality, however, this situation is a pipe dream. Despite the slight shift in American attitudes about assault weapon ownership as a result of Sandy Hook and Aurora, we still remain a gun-loving nation and have a Congress largely under the thumb of the gun lobby. Much of America was visibly bristling at President Obama's recent 23 gun control-related executive actions, most of which had to do with tightening up background checks and none of which had to do with restricting gun purchases. But it's clear that the odds of any sort of gun ban legislation actually making it to Obama's desk for signature in the near future are slim to none.
This is sure to be very disappointing for the Mexican government, and probably a source of amusement for Mexican cartels. However, through all the political mess, this manages to leave the Obama administration sitting pretty with its drug war-ravaged neighbor, able to say, "Hey, we tried!" and blame the gun lobby for its inability to slow down the southbound flow of firearms through legislation.
This isn't to say that anti-gun legislation is the silver bullet for keeping assault weapons out of Mexico, because it certainly isn't. Mexico has a lot of internal problems to solve, with corruption at the top of the list, before it can make a meaningful dent in the weapons trafficking crisis. It shouldn't rely on the political temperature changing in another country as a means to improve its security situation. It also shouldn't expect the U.S. government to change its gun laws to appease another country, or for any reason other than because it's what's best for the safety of the American people.
However, this doesn't mean that significant measures can't be taken to strengthen the enforcement of our existing gun laws or that actions can't be taken that would place more scrutiny –not restrictions– on the sale of firearms preferred by Mexican cartels. Unfortunately, the debate over such baby-step measures will continue in earnest for some time on this side of the border, meaning the Mexican people will need to keep looking inward for possible weapons trafficking solutions.

Why Does Drug Reporting Suck?
Whenever I fall into a funk over the press corps' abysmal coverage of illicit drugs, I console myself with the knowledge that, as awful as the coverage is, it's always been that way. Then, to confirm my cynical sentiments, I pull out a monograph from 1974 titled "Major Newspaper Coverage of Drug Issues" from the drug section of my library and reread it.
Robert P. Bomboy wrote the monograph for the Drug Abuse Council, a 1970s project of the liberal Ford Foundation that assessed the impact of illicit drugs and made policy recommendations. Bomboy found drug coverage to be moralistic in conception, gullible in sourcing, and formulaic in execution.
"Today's headlines and news stories on drug abuse often echo those found in newspaper stories of the thirties, when Harry J. Anslinger, the stern and energetic foe of drug use, took over the Federal Bureau of Narcotics," writes Bomboy. Anslinger was an original exponent of the "reefer madness" school of drug education. "Hemp Around Their Necks," a chapter from his 1961 book The Story of the Narcotic Gangs, provides a taste of his rhetorical style, one that survives in today's coverage of illicit drug use, especially methamphetamine use.
Bomboy interviewed reporters and editors across the country during his research and came up with these drug-coverage axioms that are truer today than they were in 1974:
A great deal of drug reporting on [sic] major newspapers reflects ignorance, fear and false preconceptions.
Nothing that happens to a journalist will shake him of his false ideas about drugs and drug users when he begins his reporting, Bomboy asserts. "His editors and colleagues, having the same mental picture, are not likely to challenge his story," he writes. "So the old myths are perpetuated in the public's mind."
Newspapers continue to be most strongly interested in the sensational or dramatic aspects of the drug abuse story.
For confirmation, please see the recent press treatment of "meth mouth."
Acting out of a lack of interest at best, class bias, racism and fear at worst, newsmen take pains to disassociate themselves from addicts.
"Newsmen still too easily accept conceptions of drug abusers as dope fiends, 'crazies,' uncontrollable animals, the leading contributors to urban crime, objects of fear and loathing," he writes.
Reporters too seldom attempt to cross-check official information with sources on the street.
And if they do interview street sources, it's generally to confirm what the official sources said in the first place.
Major newspapers often don't have "drug beats."
At many papers, general-assignment reporters write the stories and fail to develop any expertise or alternative sourcing that would improve their pieces.
Drug abuse coverage is warped by regional points of view.
To put the contemporary spin on this, the regional press tends to believe that the entire nation must be captive of a meth epidemic because they've observed meth in their own back yards. But even the federal drug warriors don't fall for this line. About 18 months ago, the White House Office of National Drug Control Policy ventured: "[A]ccording to the National Drug Intelligence Center, in some areas of this country, methamphetamine use and production is not classified as a significant problem. Yet in other regions, it is a significant threat."
Bomboy's critique can't be universally applied. Obviously, not every reporter is a dupe of the "just say no" crowd. The Oregonian, for example, has produced a methamphetamine series over the last nine months that doesn't rely on meth-mouth distortions. (In fact, a Nexis search indicates that the newspaper has never published the phrase.) While I don't agree with the paper's assumption that meth can be eliminated by locking up the chemical precursors used by clandestine labs to manufacture methamphetamine, there's no denying the Oregonian's journalistic accomplishment. The editors better build their trophy case for all the awards they'll win.
And as long as we're handing out drug-coverage awards, how about one for Alec MacGillis of the Baltimore Sun? In last Sunday's (Aug. 7) edition, he vigorously debunked the estimate of "60,000 addicts" in Baltimore, which had become a national object of faith.
But such skeptical, substantive reporting remains rare. The majority of journalists in 1974 had a good excuse for producing hysterical and hackneyed crap: Drugs were a thousand leagues outside their comfort zone. Your average pressman had never met a heroin user, had never smoked marijuana, and mistakenly believed that some college kids on LSD had gone blind from looking at the sun.
But today's top editors are all young enough—or old enough, depending on how you look at it—to have observed illicit drug use firsthand, and I'd wager that most have partaken of recreational drugs at some point in their lives.They know that police officers exaggerate drug menaces, that not every drug user turns into Charles Manson, and that not all drug use constitutes drug abuse. Such personal familiarity with drug lore and legend should have better prepared them to cover the subject.

Because it can be, for so many people. You'd have to agree that the amount of suffering in this world of a sexual nature is huge. But what causes the suffering? That's a very big question, one I doubt we could ever resolve on an internet forum. Sadly, some of the suffering is caused by folk who use the bible to make homosexuals feel like they alone are sinners. I hate that it happens, because we're all sinners according to the bible. (that we all do wrong I won't get an argument on, but I know you'll all hate hearing it called sin).

From Scott Belanger '89: "I read your recent note regarding Marion Nelson in Keene State Today. I'm sorry to inform you that she passed away April 6, 2004. My wife Ellie and I lived three doors down from her, and my mother was her next-door neighbor for many years in Ocean Park, Maine. My two-year-old daughter Gabrielle adored her, and Marion often got a hoot out of watching her stomping in the mud puddles or chasing the cats from her front yard. Miss Nelson (as I always referred to her) had a true love of life and appreciated a good laugh. When relatives were cleaning up the house, they found a birthday card for my daughter from Marion - it was a warm surprise. Marion was a much-loved member of our neighborhood, community, and her parish. She instilled into many of us the beliefs and joys that she was blessed with."

yep, seems like a good move...scary...but good. I'm not that brave yet...lmao
I think it is fixing to happen for me.
I have a Tivo Roamio with 2TB HDD for OTA, and it can do Amazon tv and movie downloads
I also have Netflix and Amazon Prime on multiple devices
Now with Sling Tv being able to supplement my ESPN need and having a good base channel setup for live tv watching, I see no need for Directv.
Here is what Im looking at:
Sling Basic ($20/month) - ESPN 1 and 2, AMC, Food, HGTV, Disney, TNT, Travel, TBS, CNN, IFC, Cartoon, ABC Family
Hollywood Pack ($5/month) - Epix 1, 2, 3, Drive In and Sundance
News and Info Pack ($5/month) - HLN, Cooking, DIY and Bloomberg
And then I will add the sports pack during college fball ($5/month) - ESPNU, News, SEC Network, and several other non ESPN's
So most of the year it costs me $30/month, then $35 during football. Basically a 5mbps connection gets you full PQ, but this is live tv based. They do have some on demand, but it isn't a "DVR". I do all of my recording and downloading on the tivo, so it is no big deal, or pull the tv show up and stream off prime. For me, Sling is a way of finally freeing myself of the $140/month Directv bill, which consists of having some channels for rainy days and the ESPN access.
No brainer when I will save around $110/month...

Its def not for everyone, but when I look at what I pay for Directv ($140/month) and what I truly use it for (recording premiums like HBO/Starz) and ESPN 5 months out of the year. It is such a waste. I already get my other programming from another source. Sling TV is mostly so when the wife is sitting around and wants to watch DIY/Food/Cooking or something, she can.
Brenner got rid of his cable or satellite years ago and has been watching over the air programming and records some on a dvr. When he wants to catch a game on ESPN he comes over to my house or another buddies house it's working for him. My cable bill is up to 180 with internet.

Steve Jobs dropped LCD and created The Macintosh 128K in 1984
Lost my job so I had to lose the cable bill. Going the internet only route (Netflix, Hulu) was still too expensive for me. I'm too far from the city and surrounded by trees to catch any over the air stations. Right now I'm using my phone and an adapter to get Netflix and Hulu sometimes times. I'm surviving but I miss my high Def television. Are there any cheaper alternatives?
Too damn much to pay! That's why I cut the cord in December 2013 and haven't regretted it in the least. I get Netflix & Amazon Prime & Fire, but I wanted to add that basic cable is included with our condo's monthly maintenance fee. I also rent BD's from Red Box during my time back home as I travel a lot. Oh, almost forgot, I get fairly new & older movies from our local Library as it's close by, and can get online and use inter-library loan system from libraries all over their network, which increases their available catalog tremendously.
High Speed internet runs me about $60 per month through ATT, but I'm shopping around some to get a better deal. I would be paying for internet regardless if I streamed or not, so I can't really throw that in the cost. Since I order enough stuff during the year for business and personal use, I consider Amazon Prime video as a free added bonus. That leaves Netflix for $7.99 per month. To tell you the truth, I don't have the time to watch much more video than I already do, and I've been spoiled by Netflix & Prime with their commercial-free video and binge watching episodes, etc. and this is out of football season too! So imagine how it goes from September - mid January. I can tell you, I have a very long "to-watch" list already accumulated, so I'm never worried that I'm going to run out of something to view on TV.
So, if you add it up, I'm only paying $7.99 monthly fee to Netflix w/a few choice BD's thrown into the mix rented from Red Box. That's about as far as I'm prepared to go in streamlining my broadcast/movie viewing, and being frugal at the same time.
Faster than a speeding bullet...more powerful than a locomotive...able to leap tall buildings in a single bound...
I was able to cut my Directv bill by $32/month, just dropping stuff I did not need. I will probably keep it for now mainly because of access to the premiums. We watch a lot of HBO series, Starz, etc..., so being able to drop and add them as needed to catch a series is cheaper than trying to buy all those series on blu.
$32 saved is a good compromise for now, but I will be weighing it all going forward. 80% of my recording is OTA on the Tivo anyways.

Dual Coding for ICD-10 Prep: Worth the Work?

The following is a guest post by Karen M. Karban, Director of Coding Integrity at H.I.M. ON CALL.
At the recent AHIMA ICD-10 and CAC Summit, virtually every speaker discussed the need to begin dual coding prior to the October 1, 2014 implementation of ICD-10. Dual coding is the clinical process of coding and billing of encounters in both ICD-9 and ICD-10. It is one of the top four steps in preparing for ICD-10.
However, with clinical coders already in short supply, dual coding places additional demands on budget, staffing and workflow. So before your organization hires more coders and spends more money to dual-code, it's important to take a closer look at the supporting rationale.
For Practices and Groups: Probably Not
For physician practices and medical groups, dual coding is probably not worth the work. Most practices treat only a few specific diseases, so the number of new ICD-10 codes and impact on revenue is limited. Furthermore, super bills and EMR templates are used to automatically code office visits. While physician practices and medical groups must certainly update these tools for ICD-10—as well as train staffs and educate physicians on new documentation requirements—the actual dual coding of office visits is probably cost-prohibitive. Dual coding in hospitals, however, is a completely different story.
For Hospitals: Absolutely
In the hospital setting, dual coding generates solid, comparative data for forecasting and preparing prior to going live with ICD-10. It delivers three key benefits and is absolutely necessary, even up to one year prior to the October 1, 2014 deadline.
- Benchmarks financial impact and DRG shifts. Hospitals identify revenue winners and losers under ICD-10.
- Assesses actual coder productivity and CDI specialist workloads in ICD-10. Hospitals calculate staffing requirements for operational budgeting.
- Identifies gaps in clinical documentation that must be reinforced prior to 2014. Hospitals target physician education, fine-tune CDI specialist activities and update medical staff queries to improve documentation ahead of the ICD-10 deadline.
Dual coding helps hospitals prepare for ICD-10 and mitigate their risk of denied claims under the new coding system. Dual coding is also the first step in end-to-end testing for ICD-10, which is another key task to start this year, according to speakers at the HIMSS 2013 ICD-10 Symposium.
Beyond 2014
I don't expect dual coding to continue past October 2014. However, providers will need to maintain a few ICD-9 skilled coders and CDI specialists. RAC audits and other retrospective reviews carry multi-year look-back periods, a few payers may not transition to ICD-10, and quality analysis and reporting will encompass both systems.
Although dual coding is a new concept for many of us, it is fast becoming common practice for most of us.
