From San Diego, California, USA:
My wife has type 1 diabetes, and we belong to a health insurance plan which has grouped blood glucose monitoring with "durable equipment coverage" and raised the copayment from a flat $10 per prescription to 20% of the cost of the strips. Two years ago, I thought a law was passed limiting the charge for glucose strips. My wife checks her blood sugars eight to nine times a day to and uses an insulin pump to reduce the long term effects of uncontrolled diabetes, and now she is being charged more for that. Is there anyone I should start a letter writing campaign to? What should I do?
Get your diabetes team to write letters to your insurance company, and you should also write to your insurance company. Whoever at your place of employment who is responsible for purchasing health care insurance, should also write letters and consider changing to an alternative source.
You should contact the local American Diabetes Association office and find out what the local state laws are about insurance companies and glucose testing equipment. They may have some other resources as well.
Additional comments from David S. Holtzman, Esq.:Save your postage. Section 1367.51 of the California Health & Safety Code requires HMO's (like Kaiser) to provide coverage for diabetes self-management education, equipment and supplies. While plans are required to cover SMBG [Self Monitoring of Blood Glucose] strips and monitors they are permitted to assess copayments or coinsurance for these items so long as they are consistent with coverage for similar services or things under the policy. While many plans at one time classified strips as covered under the pharmacy portion of the plan or insurance policy, most now cover them as durable medical equipment items. And the plan is permitted to charge the copayment it levies for other DME [Durable Medical Equipment] items.
One reason for the realignment of these items under DME is that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (formerly HCFA), the folks who administer the Medicare & Medicaid programs, classify SMBG strips and monitors as DME items. Since Medicare pays for DME items but not pharmaceutical products, many plans now classify these items as DME.
If you still have questions complaints regarding your health plan, contact the California Department of Managed Health Care. You can find their contact information on the state's website or in the telephone book.

How I Turned My Koi Hobby Into A Business and SBI Review
My first Koi Pond was hardly more than a mud hole, but a lot has changed since then. I built my neighbor's, friend's, and most of my church members' first ponds, and they're still going strong today. It's been over 13 years since.
I have to admit there was a lot of trial and error, hair pulling and tears shed over the loss of Koi. But through it all, I have to say it's made me what I am today. My friends say I'm an expert. I say -NO WAY. I think I still have a long way to go, but I do learn from my mistakes. Which is why I created this website. I wanted to help others build a pond to keep and sustain HEALHY Koi. I also wanted to spare them the frustration of what I had to go through. But, how would I do that? How do I go about sharing my helpful information with others? That was where Site Build It came in. Also known as SBI, the rest of this page will tell you what Site Build It is all about.
SBI Review
I don't know, or care, about how websites, search engines, or even browsers work. I dont know ANYTHING about how to make a webpage, submit it to a search engine, or anything else involving the web. All I know is how to build beautiful ponds that house healthy Koi. And with the help of SBI I am able to focus on that. . SBI lets me do what I love to do, which is, teach people how to care for their Koi.
What Is SBI and How Does It Help?
Let's suppose you want to make some extra money or wish to someday escape your day job. One way to do this is to start an online business. This way, you can work from home whenever you want or can. It's great for stay at home moms or dads because you can work when the kids are sleeping or at school. It's also great for retirees because you can put to use all that life knowledge and supplement your retirement income. Actually, it's good for just about anybody who wants a low risk side business they can work on at their own pace without the expense, overhead and scheduling issues that come with offline businesses.
Of course there are plenty of companies out there wanting to help you with your business. The difference between SBI and everyone else is that SBI provides everything you need in one place including step-by-step instructions on building your site, training to help you grow it and help to discover new and various ways to develop income streams from it.
You'll also get support for many aspects of your Internet business including ideas on where to source products to sell and sage advice on how to develop and manufacture your own product, and how to sell it to the world through your site and other places, both online and off.
SBI watches your back in many ways by tending to things like cyber security, keeping you abreast of social media developments and monitoring for major changes on the Internet. SBI sifts through the noise and extracts the important points with advice on what to do (and what not to do). They also constantly develop and improve the programming so you can more easily adapt to the ever-changing web, like becoming mobile friendly.
Starting an online business gets much simpler with SBI because you don't need to buy software or try to string together modules or platforms. That's because everything you need is already included. One subscription pays for it all. You don't even need to search for a template for your site! You can use one of their stunning templates or easily create your own.
SBI has helped many people quit their day jobs. Others live wherever in the world THEY want to. Some have taken their businesses on the road, traveling the countryside while working on their site. SBI can help you reach your lifestyle goals like it has many others.
Do You Need It?
There are other ways to build an online business, but without experience and training, the learning curve can be quite steep. Of course, there are those who love the challenge of learning everything from scratch and getting involved in the nitty gritty, step-by-step developments. Everybody's different. If you wonder if it's something you need, the handy bullet-points below should help you decide.
You need SBI
Bottom line is, if you want to establish an online business and learn to run and grow it, you need SBI.
What Others Say
Before you make up your mind, you should check it out and read Site Build It reviews to find out what others say about it. That's simply the smart thing to do. Since SBI is not a good fit for every person, you're likely to find a mix of opinions. That said, be aware that the Site Build It "scam" reviews you'll likely encounter are a series of unfairly biased and many times fake reviews. SBI is certainly not a scam and those reviews are written by people who want you to buy what they're selling or have an axe to grind that goes beyond reasonableness.
Decide for Yourself
Take the scathing reports with a grain of salt because you don't need to worry about it. You don't even need to believe this review and can sign up for SBI without risk . That's because you can use it for 90 days and if you decide you don't like it for whatever reason, you can get your money back. Just make sure you're ready to start when you sign up so you get the best use out of your 90 days.
Thanks for visiting the site. Hopefully this SBI Review helps those of you thinking about starting your own special online business based on something you know and love!

I'm not the only one who's life has changed because of SBI, here are the Testimonials from 4 other people who are now living a Great life because of SBI, and there are many more.
"The fulfillment I feel in my own life and the example I'm setting for my kids far outweighs the dollars." ~ Michelle Schill
"I was never top of my class. I'm just an average person with the motivation to change my life. I have with SBI!. You can, too. Really."
"Building a site with SBI!! does not require any knowledge of HTML. In fact, I found building a site with SBI!! was a very easy way to slowly get to grips with HTML coding. With SBI!!, you simply include as much or as little HTML as you want."
"My photography website is producing so much work offline it is stopping me from building more sites (which is what I want to do). I have started another which is also starting to take off, and now "work is really getting in the way of work." The beauty about everything I am currently doing, and plan to do for the next few years, is that my efforts will create passive and residual income. I am creating a pension that I can actually pass down to my kids. How many people have one of those?"

- DynamoDB – is a fully managed cloud database service that offers fast and predictable performance and supports both document and key-value store models.
- RedShift – is a fully managed data warehouse, designed for analytic workloads. It analyzes data by connecting to standard SQL-based clients and BI (Business Intelligence) tools.
15. What is Amazon EC2?
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service that offers a resizable and secure computing capacity in the cloud. You can configure storage, security, and networking in Amazon EC2, and can be used to launch as many virtual servers as you required.
16. What are the features of Amazon EC2?
Following are the core features of Amazon EC2.
- Instances – the virtual computing environment
- Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) – the preconfigured templates for the instances with the data required for the servers (operating system, applications, etc.).
- Instance types – the different configurations of storage, CPU, networking, and memory capacity for the instances.
- Key pairs – for securing the instance login information.
- Instance Storage Volumes – for temporary data that gets deleted when stopping or terminating an instance.
- Amazon EBS Volumes – the persistent storage volumes of data.
- Regions & Availability Zones – several physical locations for resources. For example, instances and Amazon EBS volumes.
- Security Groups – enables the firewall to specify protocols, ports, and source IP ranges for instances.
- Elastic IP addresses – the static IPv4 addresses for dynamic cloud computing.
- Tags – creating and assigning metadata to the Amazon EC2 resources.
- Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) – the logically isolated virtual networks from the rest of AWS cloud, which can be used to connect to your own network.
17. What is AMI?
Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is the master image required for creating virtual servers (EC2 instances) in the AWS environment. Specify AMI while launching an instance, and you can launch as many instances as you required from the AMI.
18. What is a Shared AMI?
The AMI which is created by a developer and has made it accessible to other developers is known as a "Shared AMI".
- Shared AMI is the easiest way to get started with Amazon EC2.
- You can also share your AMIs with others.
- It is recommended to access the AMIs from a trusted source.
19. State the best Security Practices for Amazon EC2.
Though multiple security practices exist for EC2, following are the important ones.
- Identity and Access Management (IAM): Use IAM for managing access to your AWS.
- Allow Trusted Hosts: Allow access to only trusted networks and hosts on your instance, and restrict the others.
- Review Security Groups: Review the rules in your security groups frequently, and ensure to follow the principle of least.
- Privilege: Grant permissions only that you require.
- Disable Passwords: Login passwords are easy to found and crack, and as a security concern, disable the login passwords for instances launched from your AMI.
20. Explain how to Start, Stop, and Terminate an Amazon EC2 Instance.
- Stopping & Starting an Instance: Upon stopping, the instance will perform a normal shutdown and enters the STOPPED All the Amazon EBS volumes will remain attached to the instance, and can be restarted later.
Note: When an instance is in STOPPED state, you won't be charged for additional hours.
- Terminating an Instance: Upon termination, the instance will perform a normal shutdown, and all the attached Amazon EBS volumes will be deleted, unless the deleteonTermination attribute is set to false. Later, the instance also gets deleted, and cannot be restarted.
21. Explain about Regions and Availability Zones in EC2?
Amazon EC2 is hosted at different locations across the globe. Based on the geographic areas, these locations are divided into regions, and every region contains multiple isolated areas known as availability zones.
- Each region is independent of others, while each availability zone of one region is connected to another availability zone of the same region.
- To launch an AWS instance, you are required to select the AMI of your region. If the AMI is in a different region, copy the AMI to your region and then start the instance.
- While launching an instance, you can select a single availability zone or can distribute the instance on multiple availability zones. So that, if an instance of one availability zone gets failed, the instance from another availability zone can handle the requests.
22. Explain the steps to migrate an EC2 Instance to another Availability Zone.
The steps for migrating the EC2 instance to another availability zone are:
- Create an AMI from the running instance.
- From the newly created AMI, launch an instance and specify the availability zone.
- The same instance type can be used as the original instance, or select a new instance type. In case –
- if the original instance has an Elastic IP address, connect it to the new instance.
- if the original instance is a Reserved Instance, then change the availability zone to your reservation.
- Terminate the original instance.
23. State the Best Practices for Amazon EC2?
To draw maximum benefit with Amazon EC2, the following practices can be helpful.
- Resource Management
- Storage
- Network & Security
- Backup & Recovery
24. What is AWS S3?
Amazon S3 known as 'Simple Storage Service' is a scalable, fast, inexpensive, and reliable data storage infrastructure in the cloud that makes the web-scale computing easier for the developers to build applications.
25. How can you Send Request to Amazon S3?
Amazon S3 comes as a REST service. To send a request to S3, the wrapper libraries such as REST API or AWS SDK are used to wrap the underlying S3 REST API.
26. What is a Bucket?
Each file/object which is uploaded to Amazon S3 is stored in a container, called as a "Bucket". For example, if a file named videos/buckets_demo.avi is stored under the demovideos bucket, then it should be addressed with the following URL:
- It is required to create minimum one bucket before you start working with Amazon S3.
- Each bucket should have a unique name, which makes it essential to share the bucket namespace with others.
- For each AWS account, by default, you can create a maximum of 100 buckets.
- One bucket can contain an unlimited number of files.
- Nesting is not allowed in Buckets, it means a new bucket cannot be created under another bucket.
27. Explain the key differences between Amazon EC2 and Amazon S3.
Following are the key differences between EC2 and S3.
|Amazon EC2
|Amazon S3
|· EC2 is a cloud-based web service used for hosting the applications.· EC2 is same as the computing environment, which can run Windows or Linux and can handle applications like Apache, Python, PHP, or any databases.
|· S3 is a data storage system used for storing large amounts of data.· S3 has a REST interface that uses secure HMAC-SHA1 authentication keys.
28. Explain about the Security Groups in Amazon EC2?
In Amazon EC2, security groups act as a security system for connected instances, which helps you to control/manage both the incoming and outgoing traffic at the instance level. Following are the features of security groups.
- The feasibility of adding rules to security groups allows you to connect to your instance from your IP address using SSH.
- You can also add rules to security groups that enable inbound and outbound HTTP and HTTPs access from any location.
29. What is a Key Pair?
- Amazon Web Services uses public-key cryptography for securing the instance login details.
- Linux instances have no password, you can use a key pair to get securely logged into the instance.
- The name of the key pair can be specified while launching the instance, and then set the private key when logged in with SSH.
30. State the possible connection errors that you might encounter while connecting to an instance.
The possible connection errors while connecting to an instance are:

- Register Domain Names – it helps you to register a name for your web application or website, known as 'domain name'. For example, if your website needs a name like xyz.com, then Amazon Route 53 will help you in registering the name.
- Route Internet Traffic to your Domain Resources – it helps the DNS (Domain Name System) to connect the browser to the web application or website. For example, if a user opens a browser and enters the domain name of your website, then Amazon Route 53 will help the browser to connect with your website.
- Check Resources Health – automated requests are sent over the internet to the resource (web server), to verify whether it is available, reachable, and functional or not. You can also set notifications whenever a resource gets unavailable.
37. What is AWS CloudTrail? Explain the benefits of using it.
CloudTrail is a web service of AWS, which is used to record the API calls and related events made on your account, and transfers log files to your Amazon S3 bucket.
Following are the benefits of the AWS CloudTrail.
- By recording the API calls and related events, CloudTrail offers visibility into the user activity.
- CloudTrail records every single information of an API call, such as the name of the API, time of the API call, the identity of the caller, and the response elements returned by AWS.
- Such recorded information is used to track changes made to your AWS resources and to troubleshoot various operational issues.
- Ensuring compliance and regulatory standards gets easier with CloudTrail.
38. How many trails can I create in an AWS region?
In an AWS region, you can create a maximum of 5 trails. A trail that belongs to all regions exists in every region, and is considered as one trail in every region.
39. What is AWS Elastic Beanstalk?

41. What is Amazon CloudFront?
CloudFront is a web service of AWS, which is used for quick distribution of static and dynamic web content (image files, .html, .css, etc.) to the users. The delivery of the content is done through a global network of data centers known as 'edge locations'.
Whenever a user makes a request for a content that is served with CloudFront, then the user is navigated to the edge location that offers low latency for delivering the content with the best possible performance. In case, if the content already exists in the edge location with the lowest latency, then the CloudFront delivers it instantly. However, if the content does not exist in the edge location, then CloudFront retrieves it from the HTTP server or Amazon S3 bucket which have identified as the best source for the definitive version of the content.
42. What is Amazon DynamoDB?
Amazon DynamoDB is a flexible NoSQL database, which stores data in the tables. DynamoDB is a fully managed cloud database service that offers fast and predictable performance and supports both document and key-value store models.

43. Is there any limit to store data in Amazon DynamoDB?
No. There is no specific limit on the amount of data that can be stored in Amazon DynamoDB. As the size of the data grows, DynamoDB will automatically spread the data across various machine resources to fulfill your storage requirements.
44. How to use Amazon SQS?
Amazon SQS is a message passing approach, which is used for communication between multiple connectors that are connected to one another. Amazon SQS maintains all the functional components organized, which helps different components to be loosely coupled and offers a high failure resilient architecture.
45. What is the difference between Scalability and Elasticity?
The competence of a system to increase its hardware resources for handling the rising demand is known as Scalability. It can be done by increasing the processing nodes or hardware specifications.
The competence of a system to handle the growing workload with the addition of new hardware resources, and the ability to roll back to the scaled resources when the resources are no longer required is known as Elasticity.
46. What Is AWS Lambda?
AWS Lambda is a 'serverless' compute service, which enables you to run code in response to the events, and manages the compute resources automatically. AWS Lambda can be used to extend the other AWS services or to create custom back-end services. It runs code automatically in response to the various events, such as table updates in Amazon DynamoDB or object modifications in Amazon S3 buckets.
47. Why use AWS IAM?
IAM (Identity and Access Management) is a web service of AWS, which helps you to secure the control access to AWS resources for your users. IAM is used to control/manage the use of your AWS resources (i.e. authentication) and which resources can be used in what ways (i.e. authorization).
48. What is Amazon RedShift?

Arsenal Euro 2016 Update: Giroud Opens Scoring as France Beat Romania
There is always that measure of pressure that comes playing an international tournament in front of your own turf. For the case of Olivier Giroud, there was some extra pressure as he was favored ahead of Karim Benzema, which divided opinions among the French fans.
A lot of chances fell his way and he gnashed his teeth in anguish as he failed to capitalize on most of them but in the second half, he got his reward for his sheer persistence as he reacted after the Romanian goalie fluffed at his chance to catch the ball and France was one goal to the good.
Les Bleus were in control of the game and seemed to be doing just fine but they took their feet off the pedal and allowed to the visitors to come back to the game when Patrice Evra clumsily fouled some chap in the box, leaving experienced Hungarian ref, Victor Kassai, no chance but to point to the spot. Star midfielder, Nicolae Stanciu, sent Hugo Lloris the wrong way and the visitors levelled the contest. Despite France's incessant wave of attacking, Romania had a very clear cut chance to actually open the scoring but it took a point blank save from Lloris to deny a Romanian chap from scoring the maiden goal in the tournament.
Late on, Dimitri Payet showed his class again with a magnificent volley from quite some distance leaving the keeper rooted to the spot. Payet was substituted minutes after his match winner and the reception he got from the crowd was quite raucous, making him feel very emotional as a tear or two was seen creeping down his eyes.
This is what we 'neutrals' expected from the tournament and my keen focus will remain on the Gunners featuring in the competition.
Another Gunner is bracing himself for action as Switzerland take on Albania today.

Thoughts on Koscielny's Link with Madrid and Schneiderlin Off to Man Utd?
The Copa America has been serving as a good distraction this summer with Chile and Peru advancing to the semifinals and they await the winners of the Argentina vs. Colombia and Brazil vs. Paraguay games. However, it's transfer news that has been dominating the back pages with the usual bits and bobs here and there.
Morgan Schneiderlin is a player that has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal for as long as I can remember and it's evident that Southampton is resigned to allowing the player leave this summer but the Saints have placed a price tag of £25 million for one of their prized asset. The Mirror has reported that LVG has given Ed Woodward the go-ahead to make a bid for the midfielder and from all indications, Manchester United is ready to meet Southampton's asking price. The club spent close to £150 million last summer and they'd continue in that vein as they have been linked with a host of players, including Real Madrid's Sergio Ramos.
If Schneiderlin makes the proposed move to Manchester United, some Arsenal fans would be hoping that Wenger has plans to get a quality holding midfielder to support Francis Coquelin next season. Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini are candidates to play the role of backup to Le Coq but we know that they are past their primes. Coquelin was regarded as a major success story last season but many fans believe that he cannot play every game in the forthcoming season but we will see how things pan out as the weeks progress.
Elsewhere, amid the uncertainty surrounding Sergio Ramos' future, the Mirror has reported that Real Madrid has identified Laurent Koscielny as a possible replacement. It's been reported that the Spanish juggernaut are set to offer the Gunners a fee worth £21 million for the Boss. Koscielny has been at Arsenal for five years and has grown from strength to strength to become an indispensable member of the squad.
According to Squawka, Koscielny won 56 percent of his headed duels in the Premier League last season and, in typical Arsenal fashion, maintained an impressive passing accuracy of 89 per cent across his 27 appearances. The centre-back's 93 interceptions demonstrates his excellent reading of the game, while his total of 166 successful clearances hints at the calming influence he has on his fellow defenders.
When the French defender was out injured for a considerable chunk of the campaign, Arsenal struggled defensively as Arsene Wenger featured the likes of Nacho Monreal, Calum Chambers and even Matt Debuchy to play alongside Per Mertesacker. With his return to the team, Arsenal's fortune changed for good and as expected, the club finished the season strongly as well as winning the FA Cup to crown their efforts.
Arsenal is now at the peak of their financial powers and I don't believe that they'd be swayed by Real Madrid's advances. The only challenge would come if Koscielny opts out, like Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie and co. Then again, what do I know.
I'd monitor the situation in the coming weeks.

Rating Arsenal's Defenders Performances in the 2014/15 Season
Arsenal conceded 36 goals in the Premier League (almost a goal per game), four goals in five FA Cup games on the road to the final, nine goals in 10 Champions League games and two goals in the only Capital One Cup fixture they featured in. This ultimately means that the Gunners averaged conceding at least one goal a game in every competition they played this season.
Gooner Daily analyses the performances of the defenders in the course of the campaign.
Nacho Monreal (37 appearances, one goal, six yellow cards)
Monreal has been a transformed player this season. When he arrived in January 2013, it took him a while to get a hang of things before he acclimatized to the rigors of the Premier League. He joined as Kieran Gibbs deputy but injuries to Kieran Gibbs paved the way for the Spaniard to get an extended run of games. This season, Monreal deputized as a center back when the club was faced in a defensive crisis and he played admirably in Laurent Koscielny's absence.
With Kieran Gibbs suffering more fitness troubles, Monreal marauded the left back position with such confidence and made the role his own, even after Gibbs returned to full fitness. To crown up his efforts in the campaign, he scored a goal in the victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford – a goal any striker would have been proud of.
Rating: 8/10
Mathieu Debuchy (14 appearances, one goal, three yellow cards, one red card)
There was so much speculation about the right back that was coming in to replace Bacary Sagna when he left the club to join Manchester City's bench. Names like Serge Aurier and Seamus Coleman were mentioned but Arsene Wenger opted for Newcastle's Matt Debuchy that looked to settle in Arsenal like water off a duck's back.
However, Debuchy suffered two long-term injuries on his ankle and his shoulder that just reduced him to a merger 14 appearances in his debut season with the Gunners. He showed off his temperamental side when he was sent off in the Champions League playoffs against Galatasaray but he managed to score his first Arsenal goal with his head when he featured in an unorthodox center back position when the Gunners visited Anfield.
With the emergence of Hector Bellerin and Carl Jenkinson returning from loan, Debuchy has it all to do if he wants to retain his status at the club's primary right back next season.
Rating: 6/10
Kieran Gibbs (31 appearances, one goal, three yellow cards)
At the start of this campaign, Gibbs changed his jersey number to 3, which was vacated due to Sagna's departure for the petro-greens. Gibbs had featured a career-best 41 times in the previous campaign and the assumption was that his injury problems are now behind him. He featured consistently as the season progressed and even managed to get on the score sheet with a vital equalizer against Anderlecht when it seemed as the Gunners were resigned to a defeat.
However, injury struck again and Gibbs lost his place in the team to Monreal. With the Spaniard in good form, Wenger chose not to feature Gibbs but handed him a couple of starts in the Cup fixtures. With Monreal ending the campaign on a high, Gibbs will face a battle in his hands to win his place back in the team. He has already stated that he's ready to fight for his place. Such competition will be beneficial to Arsenal.
Rating: 6/10
Per Mertesacker (44 appearances, one goal, no yellow card)
With Mikel Arteta consistently out of the team due to injuries, the BFG has led the Gunners in almost every game he played. After featuring a career-high 52 times last season, the BFG joined his German side to Brazil and won the World Cup, which essentially meant that he didn't get any time to recharge his batteries with Germany going into the latter stages of the tournament.
This season, the BFG has seen his ardent fans swing to the other direction as he put up some questionable performances with the Round of 16 clash against Monaco being his nadir. Nonetheless, he was efficient as always in his many games and he looked more at home when he featured alongside Laurent Koscielny. Injuries to the French defender saw Mertesacker play alongside the likes of Monreal, Calum Chambers and even Debuchy, but he remained steadfast in his duties.
Now that he has retired from international football, let's see if his career can be prolonged like John Terry.
Rating: 7/10
Gabriel Paulista (seven appearances, no goal, two yellow cards)
In my honest opinion, it was a travesty not replacing Thomas Vermaelen when he left for FC Barcelona in the summer. Arsenal was just an injury away from disaster in central defense and it happened when Koscielny was out injured. Wenger acknowledged that set back and signed a relatively unknown center back from Villarreal, Gabriel Paulista.
After making his debut for the club in the FA Cup fixture against Middlesbrough, Gabriel featured in his first Premier League game that will forever be remembered for that tackle on Romelu Lukaku. His presence allowed the boss to alternate between his first-choice central pairing as the Brazilian settled in to life in North London.
I'd expect him to feature in more games next season, as well as being a good backup in any injury crisis.
Rating: 7/10
Laurent Koscielny (36 appearances, three goals, four yellow cards)
Koscielny has grown from strength to strength in the heart of Arsenal's defense, making him indispensable to the team. He scored the opening goal of Arsenal's Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace and when he suffered an Achilles injury, his absence from the squad was hugely felt. He made his return after several weeks and Mertesacker played better when his rightful partner was available.
Koscielny went on to score against Stoke and Leicester to take his tally to three for the campaign but his all-action, high-octane yet efficient style of play was exemplary all season long.
Rating: 9/10
Calum Chambers (36 appearances, one goal, eight yellow cards, one red card)
For what its worth, this is the first time in Chambers career that he has played this much games. Arsenal's injury woes allowed him to get a run of games as a center back and he was lauded for his mature performances. He continued that good form and even scored his first professional goal against Burnley.
With Nacho Monreal featuring in the middle alongside Mertesacker, Chambers was drafted to right back and he struggled terribly in the defeat to Swansea. With more off form performances in the coming weeks which included a red card in the defeat to Stoke, he lost his place to Hector Bellerin and spent a considerable chunk of the campaign on the bench.
It's going to be interesting to see if he'd feature regularly next season when everyone's fit.
Rating: 6/10
Hector Bellerin (27 appearances, two goals, seven yellow cards)
Like Francis Coquelin, Bellerin has been one of the finds of the season. Injuries to several players paved the way for the young Spaniard to get his debut in the Signal Iduna Park at Dortmund and as the weeks progressed, he made the right back position his own, shoving off the threat of Chambers.
Bellerin has his raw reserves of blistering pace as well as a keen eye for goal, and this season, he found the back of the net on two occasions against Aston Villa and Liverpool. With Jenkinson returning from West Ham and Debuchy on his way back to full fitness, the battle for the right back spot will be very intense but Bellerin must be commended for the great shift he put this season.

The Nate Berkus Show to end after two seasons
After just two seasons of bringing us clever home decor ideas, The Nate Berkus Show is ending.
We have to wonder, will Nate Berkus go out with a cleverly decorated bang when The Nate Berkus Show takes its final bow in May?
It seems like only yesterday Nate Berkus began suggesting colors and materials for our living rooms on his new show and now it's over.
According to a report via The Hollywood Reporter, The Nate Berkus Show will continue to shoot as scheduled and wrap season two in May, making this the final season.
According to the report, Harpo Studios and Sony Pictures Television said in a statement, "After careful consideration, we have decided that The Nate Berkus Show will not return for a third season in the fall."
The statement went on to say, "We are grateful for the hard work and heart that Nate, [executive producer] Corin Nelson and their entire team have poured into the show, and we're very proud of what they've delivered."
Nate Berkus, who wasn't on the receiving end of high ratings, said in his own statement, "I'm incredibly proud of my hard working and talented staff, and proud of the show we were able to produce every day."
The daytime talk show circuit is changing with the times, but there is also a familiar face of the past heading to our TVs again.
It was recently revealed that Ricki Lake is slated to make us say "Go Ricki" in 2012 with her new 20th century talk show.
Then there's Jeff Probst who will be trying his hand at daytime with CBS Television Distribution.
What do you think of the decision to not renew The Nate Berkus Show for a third season? Were you a fan?
Head over to our comments section and sound off!

Jan 29, 2017 | By Barbara Stewart
We own a local small business. Ordinarily we do profit-sharing with our employees, but 2016 turned out to be a hot mess. We still wanted to do something nice for our employees and we gave them this Rossi Pasta box. They loved it!
We ship via UPS Ground or UPS SurePost to most addresses in the continental USA. Packages generally arrive 1-7 business days after your order's ship date, depending on your proximity to our pasta factory in Ohio. If you select UPS Next-Day or Second-Day as your delivery method, you will have your shipment one or two business days, respectively, after your order is shipped.

text: Ashley needed a gig that she could easily take on the road since her husband's job moved them (+2 pugs, which they just consider furry children) from place to place. She finally dusted off the old sewing machine and went to stitching home goods from leftover and recycled fabric. But after demand increased (yeah, they were sellin' like hotcakes), Ashley shifted her focus to creating her unique goods with high-quality materials. With each linen pillow embellished with individual letter stamping ("No screenprinting here!"), the process is a bit time consuming but the inevitable payoff is the unique character of each pillow.

text: The hormones obtained from extracts of the endocrine glands may be classified into four groups according to their chemical constitution: (1) phenol derivatives, such as epinephrine, norepinephrine, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine; (2) proteins, such as the anterior pituitary hormones, with the exception of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), human chorionic gonadotropin, pregnant-mare-serum gonadotropin, and thyroglobulin; (3) peptides, such as insulin, glucagon, ACTH, vasopressin, oxytocin, and secretin; and (4) steroids, such as estrogens, androgens, progesterone, and corticoids. Hormones, with a few exceptions like pituitary growth hormone and insulin, may also be classified as either tropic hormones or target-organ hormones. The former work indirectly through the organs or glands which they stimulate, whereas the latter exert a direct effect on peripheral tissues. See Endocrine system (vertebrate)

One of the questions about the state budget proposal that Gov. John Kasich is expected to announce in February is whether the state will follow through with the Affordable Care Act's expansion of Medicaid coverage.
The federal health care law would expand coverage to people with incomes up to 138 percent of the poverty level -- a provision which was made optional under the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that otherwise upheld the law.
A bipartisan group of 85 health coverage organizations has written to the governor saying anything less than the full 138 percent would cause people to drop or skip coverage, endangering their health.
Terry Russell, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness of Ohio, told Gongwer News Service that mentally ill Ohioans struggle to stay employed, and that local mental health agencies have marginal resources to help.
"The sad statistic that haunts us every day is that individuals with mental illnesses die an average of 25 years earlier than those without a mental illness," he said. "Sixty percent of these premature deaths are the result of preventable and treatable diseases, such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer and infections."
PolitiFact Ohio checked into his claim about 25 years, and quickly found his statement was right on the money.
A study published in 2006 by the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors that was the focus of wide attention and concern in the mental health community looked at data from 16 states, including Ohio.
It found that, on average, people with severe mental illness die 25 years earlier than the general population.
The figure for Ohio was actually worse. People with severe mental illness die 32 years earlier.
Calling it "a serious public health problem for the people served by our state mental health systems," the study said about 60 percent of premature deaths are due to conditions such as cardiovascular, pulmonary and infectious diseases.
A number of factors contribute to risk, the study said, including modifiable factors like obesity, poor nutrition and alcohol and tobacco use. People with severe mental illness have poorer access to appropriate health care, and may be additionally vulnerable because of higher rates of homelessness, victimization, unemployment and poverty.
Among its recommendations, the report called for better access to physical health care for people with serious mental illnesses to fight what it called an "epidemic of premature death and its contributing causes."
Russell said that people with mental illnesses, on average, die 25 years earlier than those without a mental illness. He accurately cited findings of a major study on the issue. And in Ohio, the average is actually greater than 25 years.
On the Truth-O-Meter, his claim rates True.

The ocean of his generosity has no shoreby Sarmad
English version by Isaac A. Ezekiel
Original Language Persian/Farsi
The ocean of his generosity has no shore.
The tongue is powerless to thank,
the heart too bewildered to understand.
Though my sins are many
his compassion is greater still--
I swim in the sea of disobedience
but I do not drown.
|-- from Sarmad: Martyr to Love Divine, by Isaac A. Ezekiel

Learn how to use inequalities in one variable to describe standard dimensions of soccer fields in this video from MPT. In the accompanying classroom activity, students write inequalities that reflect the range of values in standard soccer field dimensions. They then compare dimensions of their school soccer field to standard dimensions. To get the most from the lesson, students should be familiar with one-variable equations and with writing and interpreting statements of inequalities (without variables). For a longer self-paced student tutorial using this media, see "The Soccer Field" on Thinkport from Maryland Public Television.

New Jersey surpassed Florida with the highest share of U.S. mortgages in foreclosure in the first quarter as delinquencies nationally fell to pre-crisis levels.
In New Jersey, 8.12 percent of mortgages were in the foreclosure process, Mortgage Bankers Association said in a report today. It was the only state to have an increase from the fourth quarter, when the share was 7.9 percent. In Florida, the rate of loans in foreclosure dropped to 7.62 percent from 8.56 percent in the previous three months.
New Jersey, which requires court approval for home seizures, is at the epicenter of the foreclosure crisis as banks work through a backlog of delinquent loans that allows troubled borrowers to skip mortgage payments for years. By contrast, hard-hit areas such as Arizona and California have some of the lowest levels of soured loans after allowing lenders to quickly repossess homes after the 2007 real estate crash.
The foreclosure inventory rate in New Jersey "has basically been flat for three years at this high level," Michael Fratantoni, chief economist for the Mortgage Bankers Association in Washington, said in a telephone interview. "Everywhere else things are improving, and at an accelerating pace in some areas."
New Jersey led the U.S. in the rate of newly started foreclosures in the first quarter, at 1.06 percent of mortgages, up from 0.99 percent a year earlier, according to the report. Maryland was the only other state with a year-over-year increase in foreclosure starts.
Across the U.S., the rate of foreclosure starts fell to 0.45 percent, the lowest level since 2006. The nationwide rate peaked in 2009 at 1.42 percent of loans. Since then, falling unemployment, mortgage rates at historical lows and tight inventories have helped provide a foundation for the housing recovery.
The serious-delinquency rate, which measures loans at least 90 days behind or in foreclosure, fell in the first quarter to a seasonally adjusted 5.04 percent, the lowest level since 2008, according to the bankers group. The rate was 6.39 percent a year earlier.
States that require court approval for home seizures, which also include Florida and New York, account for most of the loans in foreclosure, according to the bankers group. Of the 17 states that had a higher foreclosure inventory rate than the national average, 15 were judicial states.

Award Announcement
Acceptance Speech
Op-Ed by Foundation CEO John Shattuck
Remarks by Senator Edward M. Kennedy
In December 2002, Alberto J. Mora, then general counsel of the United States Navy, was alerted by Navy investigators to reports that detainees held by the U.S. military at Guantanamo Bay were being subjected to cruel and unlawful interrogation practices. Mora, whose civilian position accorded him a rank equal to that of a four-star general, soon came to learn that the cruel and abusive practices of United States military interrogators at Guantanamo were the result of significant policy shifts at the highest levels of the U.S. government. Over the next three years, Mora waged a campaign inside the Bush Administration to prevent military and civilian leaders from codifying any policy that might implicitly or explicitly sanction the mistreatment of Guantanamo detainees as part of the war on terror.
Mora, a Republican who had led a distinguished career in public service and international law prior to his appointment to the Navy, argued that a policy allowing cruelty toward prisoners at Guantanamo left the door open for American military personnel to engage in torture of the kind that was later exposed at the Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad, Iraq. Mora did not know of the abuse at Abu Ghraib when he warned Pentagon and other administration officials that the mistreatment of terror suspects and other prisoners would carry grave political consequences for the United States, and would expose U.S. interrogators and policy makers to criminal prosecution. In a 2004 internal memo to the Navy inspector general, Mora outlined his efforts to prevent the Administration from grounding policy in what he believed were flawed legal arguments that would permit the mistreatment of detainees and set off politically and morally disastrous chain reactions. The memo was made public in February 2006. Accounts of widespread prisoner abuse in Iraq, Afghanistan and at Guantanamo have continued to escalate. Earlier this year, Alberto Mora retired from his service to the U.S.government and returned to the private sector.
For his moral courage and his commitment to upholding American values, Alberto Mora was honored with the 2006 Profile in Courage Award.
