I'm sure this has been answered previously, but I could not find a recent post. Do High Priest Group Leaders and Elder's Quorum President's have access to the leadership portal?

The Bryce Powershift HD180, the first fencepost-driving machine of its type to be used in America, awaits rollout by Jock Bryce, the inventor who accompanied his device to Whallonsburgh from Edinburgh, Scotland.
ESSEX — A mist rolled across the lush landscape, languid tendrils that slithered between the hedgerows and drenched the morning in weariness.
Jock Bryce sipped his coffee as a pair of border collies danced underfoot and admired the landscape from the gently-lit farmhouse.
The Scotsman arrived at dawn after journeying across a lake where monsters dwelled.
"Perfect Scottish weather," he said.
His host was exuberant. Sandy Lewis' pale blue eyes shone as he verbally bounced from walkie talkie to mobile phone to landlines, speaking multiple languages and radiating an aura of quivering joy.
The cattle farmer had received confirmation that the Bryce Powershift HD180, a revolutionary new fencepost-driving machine, had just touched down on American soil.
Delivered by Sandro Galasso, a Québécois truck driver, the HD180 waited quietly in a dark shipping crate under a bruise-colored sky on Route 22.
"This is an offer to help farmers across the region," said Lewis.
"It's a technical innovation," added Bryce, who ticked off a list of accolades nabbed by the unit, including several LAMMA Awards — that's the jewel in the United Kingdom's farm machinery crown — and top honors at the Royal Welsh, Europe's largest agricultural show.
Necessity is the mother of invention, said the Edinburgh resident, who was clad in traditional attire, including a tartan kilt, flowing sporran and sharp black ghillie brogues paired with a violet polo shirt.
Laborers can put up twice as much fencing with the machine.
Most units are hinged to the back of tractors and require three men to drive posts:
One to drive the tractor, another to operate the device and a third to hand over the posts.
The HD180 saves time, labor and fuel, Bryce explained, three scarce commodities for the modern agricultural worker that are rare in the developed world.
Lewis, who runs the first USDA-certified grass fed beef operation in the country, previously expressed dismay at an inability to attract qualified labor to his sprawling farm.
"This is a great recruiting tool," he said. "Give them the best equipment. Make it more about intelligence and less about backbreaking work."
Lewis said one of the region's most pressing agricultural deficiencies is fencing.
He took on a scholarly air as he laced up his boots. His words flowed in fully-formed erudite sentences.
"No self-respecting cattle farmer can exist without fencing," he said while trudging through the dew-dropped grass.
"Fencing allows the relationship between cattle and grass to benefit both. When you move from area to area at just the right time, animals will eat the grass when it is at its most nutritious. It's a win-win for cattle and grass. Grazing is the only way for this planet to reverse desertification. We're replacing cattle with fencing. By getting the best fencing we have here, we can whip in and help — we can learn the best ways to enhance cattle and grass, a symbiotic relationship."
Lewis grew silent as he entered his truck, started the engine and put it in reverse.
"Maybe we can help others," he stressed. "This will lead to a stronger community. And it will keep the cattle off the road."
Lewis beckoned two of his grandchildren close as a worker used a Caterpillar to level the gravel so that the truck could line up to the cargo ramp.
"For days on end, this traveled across the North Atlantic at 22 knots…"
George and James' eyes grew wide.
"... it was delivered to Montreal, not New York," he bellowed.
After several moments, a small crowd gathered as Bryce disappeared into the vessel.
A machine whirred from the interior and he emerged at the wheel of a handsome-looking orange-yellow device, a marriage between an oil rig and a tank.
"Driving the posts fast and straight, that's the key," said Bryce after gingerly steering the rubber-treaded unit out of the shipping crate, down the ramp and onto the packed gravel below.
He demonstrated the HD180 — the machine has the flexibility of a human wrist, he said, and can drive posts while sitting on an incline, it swivels, hence the 180 — to Lewis, who appeared delighted.
The sky let out a cheer and it began pouring.
Lewis gestured here and there across his vast acreage, some 1,200 acres sprawling across Whallonsburg and Essex, as cars lined up impatiently behind his Ford Superduty as it purred down the center of this country road.
As summer progresses, fences will start materializing on the horizon. Black split locust wood, oilfield cast iron pipe welded. Stung with high tensile steel wire. Galvanized steel, hot and strong, he said.
The wood must be split to prevent rot and will be purchased by the truckload.
A crew of four fencers set out from Wisconsin on Sunday, said Lewis, and interior fencing is scheduled to start the following day.
The farmer plans on 60,000 feet to begin with, more as September fades to fall.
He concedes that others might not accept his offer to make use of the unit's services.
"They'll waffle on it," he said. "But we hope they'll come around."

PITTSBURGH, January 25, 2002 — UPMC Health Plan's announcement of an expanded service area for its Medicare HMO, UPMC for Life, could not have drawn a more interested observer.
Thomas A. Scully, administrator of the Federal Government's Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), participated in a news briefing where he described the importance of the Federal government in partnering with private insurers as the Health Plan rolled out its latest benefit product for those in the Pittsburgh region that are eligible for Medicare.
The world's largest health insurance organization, CMS is responsible for $1 out of every $3 spent on health care in this country and provides regulatory oversight of health benefits companies that sell Medicare HMOs. An estimated 40 million Americans are Medicare beneficiaries.
Pittsburghers and other Allegheny County residents can enroll in UPMC for Life beginning February 8, 2002, along with persons in Westmoreland, Washington, Beaver, Butler, and Armstrong counties. Coverage will take effect on March 1, 2002. An estimated 440,000 people are eligible. All beneficiaries with Medicare Parts A and B may apply.
In recent Congressional testimony, Scully said that Medicare+Choice plans are valuable because they traditionally improve on fee-for-service benefits by offering programs and covering services that are not covered under original Medicare. He said that these can include prescription drugs, routine vision care, dental care and lower co-payments.
"By making these services and benefits available," Scully said in his testimony, "Medicare+Choice plans provide a valuable alternative to fee-for-service Medicare and Medigap, whose out-of-pocket costs are often much higher for beneficiaries."
UPMC Health Plan is expanding its offering of UPMC for Life at a time when many insurers are abandoning Medicare HMO beneficiaries, according to Patricia A. Liebman, UPMC Health Plan Chief Executive Officer.
"Offering consumers an additional choice among health benefits insurers and products is what built our business," Liebman said.
UPMC Health System Executive Vice President John W. Paul said that while rising medical and pharmaceutical costs make premium setting difficult, we can't ignore the fact that
competition has fueled the success of our insurance subsidiary while keeping healthcare insurance costs reasonable for all.
"We are eager to offer our health benefits insurance to senior citizens and other eligibles in greater Pittsburgh so that they have access to top-notch health care through the UPMC Health System network at an affordable price," Paul said.
UPMC for Life will cost $58 per month with a prescription drug benefit and $9 without prescriptions in the six-county area.
"Enrollees will find UPMC for Life rates competitive with other insurers but our plan has added benefits such as the option to self-refer with a higher co-payment to network specialists," said Liebman.
Allegheny County has the second highest concentration of people over 65 years of age in the country, according to Census Bureau data. It is second only to Dade County, Florida. Western Pennsylvania may be home to the oldest population in the nation.
In 2001, UPMC for Life was offered for the first time in seven other western Pennsylvania counties where rates will remain the same in 2002. Cambria, Fayette, and Lawrence eligibles can get UPMC for Life for $45 with a drug benefit and no charge without. In Bedford, Blair, and Somerset rates are $45 with the drug benefit and $19 without. In Mercer, the cost is $69 with and $39 without. Medicare reimbursements from CMS to health benefits insurers vary by county and are determined by costs of medical care and prescription drugs in that locale.
UPMC Health Plan is the nation's fourth fastest-growing health benefits company, providing enhanced-access HMO and other health benefits products to some 368,000 persons. Headquartered in Pittsburgh, the Health Plan is a subsidiary of UPMC Health System, which has 31 merged and affiliated hospitals throughout western Pennsylvania. UPMC Health Plan members, in all lines of business, are served by some 6600 physicians in partnership with 80 hospitals in 23 western Pennsylvania counties.
Plan information is available by calling the UPMC for Life Medicare Sales Department at 1-877-381-3765 on Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For the hearing impaired, call the TDD number at 1-800-361-2629 during that time.

You didn't think I was going to let my canceled race slide, did you!? Nope, I found another race to register for… it's in two weeks! I decided to register for the Tri Events Championship race at Bonelli Park.
Since Bonelli Park was the home of my first half marathon, that gives me an advantage because I remember how freakin' hilly it is! I ended up registering for the Championship distance instead of the Express distance because I was probably dropped on my head. Here's hoping all the training I've done in the last month gets me through the 1k swim without drowning!
While swimming is my favorite of all three sports, I mostly enjoy it in a pool. Swimming in open water so much more difficult (at least for this girl!). Though recently, I learned that some of the best open water swimmers breath on every right (or left) swim stroke! This makes me very happy because I was trying to breath on every other right swim stroke. I will be trying this out before my May 10th race!
Question: How often do you breath while swimming open water?

Someone contacted me the other day wanting to know the status of my string quilt. Yeah, I was just as surprised as you are that I still have anyone who reads this blog. I've been a little neglectful lately, but that's because I have so little time to craft, or to think of anything clever to write about. I've also started a blog (Prominent Butt) that's about my fitness/health journey. That journey is also a bit time consuming! I've quickly fallen into neglecting that blog, as well.
Well, due to popular demand (by one person), here is my string quilt top. That's as far as I've gotten. I have no time for personal sewing. I am (was?) making this for the mother of a baby that died from a brain tumor, but it's just not good.
First of all, now that I'm looking at it, I don't understand why it's so square. It should probably have another set of squares on the bottom, but that requires making 12 more blocks. And I'm out of fabric. Still, it would work as a lap quilt.
As you can see, using the white strips in the center of each block creates a more distinct visual effect of squares throughout the quilt. Unfortunately, none of my white strips met up nicely in the corners. Pretty much all of my corners look like this:
Actually, that's one of the better ones.
To make matters worse, the whole thing is warped. That's what happens when you sew in a hurry and do a sloppy job and then try to force it to fit together in certain places.
It just doesn't lie smoothly. So I know if I try to quilt it, it will just pucker up and get a bunch of tucks and folds all over the surface.
So that's where it stands now. I am just not sure I'll try to finish this one due to all the bad sewing. I would like to give the mother of this baby a gift to honor his short life, but this is an embarrassment.

I've been so stressed that I broke out in 2 different types of rashes on two different locations on my face. It's a record. So I've been staying home, eating ramein, playing Donkey Kong Returns on my Wii and catching up on Walking Dead for the past two weekends.
Most of my rash is gone as of now, but if it gets worst I plan to go as a crack whore for Halloween. Either way there will be a costume of some kind. Thank goodness for these photos taken a few weeks back and my hoarding habits.

First, here's a list of all the players, the teams that drafted them (or first signed them, before the draft), and each team for which they played at least one Major League game. If a player never reached the Majors, I noted that with a "*****".
And now here's a chart that clarifies things a bit:
And finally, here's some interesting conclusions to draw and other notes about these players and teams:
- I knew a lot of these guys were Tigers, but seeing this graph really makes it hit home that lots of these guys were either drafted by the nearby MLB team, played for it at some point in their careers, or both.
|ALMOST a Yankees Wolverine!
- The Yankees were a close second with four draftees and five total Major Leaguers, but that didn't surprise me because I'm well aware of the backgrounds of Henson, Kamieniecki, Morris, and Parrish of the drafted players, and Abbott and Maddox's time with the team as well.
- The Cubs and Reds chipped in three draftees apiece, and a total of nine pros overall. Conclusion: a lot of these guys stayed near the Midwest!
- 16 of the modern MLB teams didn't draft a player on this list, though at least some of them have drafted other Wolverines, though I don't believe most of those made the Majors, at least not anytime recently.
- Only four modern Major League teams were left out of this list for not having rostered any of these players: the Marlins, Expos/Nats, Pirates, and Rays. I bet I'll be able to get a player from each of them eventually, but now I'm curious how long that will take!
- Four of the players haven't reached the Majors for any length of time: Christian, LaMarre, Miller, and Parrish. Christian was in the Twins system last year, so he still has an outside chance. LaMarre reached AAA last year and could still be a role player some day. Miller hasn't moved much in four seasons, so I'd just about count him out. Parrish washed out years ago.
- Of the 26 players that did make it to the Show, they played for an average of about three teams over the course of their careers.
- Roberts was the only player to join six teams; Maddox and Sizemore each played for five different franchises. Oddly enough, those three guys are the newest to my PC!
- Freehan, Gehringer, and Larkin all played out long careers with just one team (back when guys used to do that).
- Gehringer, Larkin, and Sisler are the three Wolverines that can be found in the Hall of Fame.

On Tuesday, April 5 Iron Maiden played a show in Auburn Hills at The Palace. The band played a couple hour set that included songs from their new album Book of Souls mixed in with some old favorites.
Mike Lewalski attended the show and got some great shots. Mike had this to say about the show, "Bruce Dickenson sounded great and he was in a great mood. He was really fired up and running all over the stage for the whole show. The sound was excellent and, of course, "Eddie" made an appearance during the set. They are only playing seven U.S. cities on the world tour so there were many out of stage people at the show as well as people from all around the world."
You can check out Mike's photos from the show here.

S.H.I.E.L.D., Powers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier: January 11th Comic Reel
While it's not a sure thing that Joss Whedon's "S.H.I.E.L.D." series will get a series order from ABC, network president Paul Lee is "very hopeful" it will go to series, saying the pilot episode has "a great script."
"It's just very Joss," Lee told journalists at the Television Critics Association winter tour. "You know how Joss is so high-low? And he's able to be intense and epic and suddenly funny and silly? He's just got that ability to be super-entertaining and sort of super-educated."
IGN spoke with FX President John Landgraf about the status of the network's adaptation of Brian Michael Bendis and Michael Avon Oeming's "Powers" series — and luckily for fans, it's still alive.
"We've been through so many incarnations. After we made the pilot, we actually developed three more [episode] scripts," Landgraf told IGN. "So then we had a pilot plus three scripts, and we decided between the pilot and the scripts that it wasn't quite the series that we needed it to be. When I say we, by the way, Brian Bendis is involved in every phase of this conversation and discussion. But one of the scripts was written by this guy named Charlie Huston, and he was a novelist. Both I and Brian and others thought, 'Wow, there is actually something in the tone of this.' So Charlie was approached, I think by Brian, and said, 'Look, would you be interested in taking on Powers?' And Charlie said, 'Well, I've never actually adapted anything before in my life. I have only written novels and stuff of my own, but Powers is my favorite graphic novel, and yes!'
"So what ended up happening was we reconstituted the whole thing around Charlie as the creator, with Brian," he continued. "Charlie went up to Seattle, and they sat down and they talked, and read through all the books, and they came back with a new vision, basically. Essentially, a new pilot to begin with, which is a new, different story than the pilot that we shot. So that pilot is officially gone and dead, and the actors are all gone, but we're developing a whole new pilot from scratch."
While on the press tour for "Gangster Squad," Anthony Mackie spoke with MTV about the current status of Joe and Anthony Russo's "Captain America: The Winter Soldier."
"I have read a script, and it's really good. It's fun," Mackie told MTV News. "The Russo brothers have been really good about keeping me informed of their visions and ideas for what they want the movie to be," he added. "It seems like it's going to work on all accords, so I'm just excited about it."
Opens April 4, 2014
The CW has released a sneak peek of "Burned," the next episode of "Arrow."
Airs Wednesdays on AMC
"Evil Dead" star Jane Levy spoke with ShockTilYouDrop about the challenges of taking on the leading role for the reboot.
"There's physical and emotional," Levy told ShockTilYouDrop. "That's what makes this part also so crazy is like — I don't want to give too much away. But not only am I emotionally going through withdrawls, heroin withdrawl, which is really intense, I'm also being attacked by evil spirits. And I think the hardest was actually just the dramatic stuff. Which was emotional. And then physically, you know, I'm in prosthetics for six hours, and I have blood dripped all over my head, in my underwear. I'm literally wearing my underwear in the freezing cold rain and barfing on people and…you know, lots of stuff. I don't wanna give anything away."
Opens April 12
It's not about "Star Wars Episode VII," but it's still pretty exciting. EW.com reports ABC President Paul Lee wants to explore "Star Wars" television options for the network now that the Disney purchase of Lucasfilm has been finalized.
"We'd love to do something with Lucasfilm, we're not sure what yet," Lee told EW. "We haven't even sat down with them. We're going to look at [the live-action series], we're going to look at all of them, and see what's right. We weren't able to discuss this with them until [the acquisition] closed and it just closed. It's definitely going to be part of the conversation."
EW's article goes on to mention that a live-action television series was in the works behind the scenes developed by Lucasfilm producer Rick McCallum. The series "centers on the story of rival families struggling over the control of the seedy underside of the Star Wars universe and the people who live within the subterranean level and air shafts of the metropolis planet Coruscant."

called www.theupdate.us wondering if anyone's heard of it. and is it a propaganda site?? Dad used to be like tolerable but he went nuts when Obama was first elected and now is a member of The Blaze, WND and now The update. course if you look for something called "The Update" your not gonna find anything. Sneaky. update is used more often that kicking someones ass.
I'm not saying how I know he joined this. Lets say my mother doesn't trust my dad anymore so I gotta be like the NSA... But when he buys a Semi Auto Sig Saur (sp) out of the blue. And plans on the M400, kinda needed. Like I'm willing to get killed for my rights. But people with guns like that are scared to die for their rights.

12. I don't have the money to get out
which happens when one loses their job. lost my legs and he keeps pushing me down.. as for the belts. oi if he did that now he'd go to jail. but it's not about me. I didn't feel comfortable leaving that publicly up. just as long as someone knows about this group.. One just doesn't get someone mad who happens to own semi automatic weapons. even if they are under lock and key. he's got a concealed weapons permit now :smh sigh

Questions 7 – 8 are based on the following passage:
Cilia and flagella are tubular structures found on the surfaces of many animal cells. They are examples of organelles, sub-cellular structures that perform a particular function. By beating against the surrounding medium in a swimming motion, they may endow cells with motility or induce the medium to circulate, as in the case of gills. Ciliated cells typically each contain large numbers of cilia 2 -10 µm (micrometer) long. In contrast, flagellated cells usually have one or two flagella, and the structures can be as long as 200 µm. For both types of structure, the diameters are less than 0.5 µm.
Although they share similar structures, the motion of the two organelles is somewhat different. Flagella beat in a circular, undulating motion that is continuous. The effective stroke of a cilium's beat, which generates the power, is followed by a more languid recovery to the original position. During the recovery stroke, they are brought in close to the membrane of the cell. Cilia usually beat in coordinated waves, so that at any given moment some are in the midst of their power stroke while others are recovering. This provides for a steady flow of fluid past gill surfaces or the epithelia lining the lungs or digestive tract.
The construction of both organelles is very similar. A portion of the cell membrane appears to be stretched over a framework made of tubulin polymers. A polymer is a long, chain-like molecule made of smaller units that are strung together. In this case, the subunits are molecules of the protein tubulin. The framework, or skeleton, of a cilium or flagellum consists of 9 pairs of tubulin polymers spaced around the periphery, and two more single polymers of tubulin that run along the center of the shaft. This is called a 9+2 pattern.
The motion of the organelles results from chemical reactions that cause the outer polymers to slide past one another. By doing so, they force the overall structure to bend. This is similar to the mechanism of contraction of skeletal muscle. In cilia and flagella, the nine outer polymer pairs of the skeleton have along their lengths molecules of a rod-shaped protein called dynein. The dynein rods can grasp, or bind to, the neighboring tubulin polymer. Energy is then used to drive a chemical reaction that causes the dynein arms to bend, causing one tubulin polymer to move along the length of the other. Through a coordinated series of thousands of such reactions, the cilium or flagellum will beat.
Cilia have also provided some of the best evidence for the inheritance of traits by a mechanism that does not involve DNA. Paramecium is a single-celled ciliated protist that lives in ponds. In one variety, the stroke cycle of the cilia is clockwise (right-handed). In another variety, it is counter-clockwise (left-handed). When the cells divide, left-handed cells give rise to more left-handed cells, and vice versa. T.M. Sonneborn of Indiana University managed to cut tiny pieces of cell membrane from a left-handed Paramecium and graft them onto a right-handed one. The cell survived, and the direction of the stroke did not change, despite the fact that cilia were now in a cell with a right-handed nucleus and surrounded by right-handed cilia, they continued to rotate to the left. A paramecium reproduces by dividing, and Sonneborn followed the transplanted patch for several generations, but it did not change direction. This suggested that the direction of rotation is a property of the cilium itself, and is not influenced by the DNA in the nucleus. In another experiment, Sonneborn transplanted the nucleus of a right-handed cell into a left-handed cell from which the original nucleus had been removed. The cell's cilia kept their counter-clockwise direction of rotation. Further, when this cell divided, all subsequent generations maintained it as well. This proved that the direction of rotation could be inherited in a manner completely independent of the chromosomal DNA.
One theory to explain this is the concept of nucleation. According to this idea, the tubulin proteins in left- and right-handed Paramecia are the same, so that the genes that give rise to them are also identical. However, once they begin to chain together in a left- or right-handed manner, they continue to do so. Therefore the direction of rotation does not depend upon the genes, but rather on some basal structure that is passed on to the cell's offspring when it divides.
7. Cilia and flagella are both
A. Proteins.
B. Sub-cellular structures that perform a particular function.
C. Organelles that beat in a continuous undulating motion.
D. Single-celled protists
8. According to the passage, where would you expect to find cilia?
A. Stomach lining
B. Back of the hand
C. Lining of the heart
D. Circulatory system
9. Which of the following measurements has the most significant digits?
10. A person walks 4 meters in a single direction. He or she then changes directions and walks an additional 9 meters. What is the total magnitude of the displacement of the person?
A. It is 13 meters.
B. It is always larger than 9 meters but less than 13 meters.
C. It is less than 13 meters and as small as 5 meters.
D. It is less than 5 meters.
11. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to the equation 3×2 + 4x – 15?
A. (x – 3)(x + 5)
B. (x + 5)(3 + x2)
C. x(3x + 4 – 15)
D. (x + 3)(3x – 5)
12. Prizes are to be awarded to the best pupils in each class of an elementary school. The number of students in each grade is shown in the table, and the school principal wants the number of prizes awarded in each grade to be proportional to the number of students. If there are twenty prizes, how many should go to fifth grade students?
1. E: Auxin controls cell wall plasticity and is produced at root and shoot tips. It controls the responses of these structures to light and gravity.
2. A: When the CO2 concentration is high, more carbonic acid is formed, and the body needs to increase respiration to remove it from the blood. Thus, a drop in pH causes an increase in the respiratory rate.
3. D: Isotopes of the same element must have the same chemical behavior, so A, B, and C all represent, in one form or another, chemical behavior. Isotopes differ in mass, and this can be used to separate them by some appropriate physical property.
4. B: Phosphorus is in the third period, so the outermost levels must be 3s, 3p. Phosphorus is in Group 5A, which indicates that it has 5 valence electrons. To fill the 3s and 3p, 2 electrons first fill the s orbital, and then the remaining 3 electrons enter the p orbitals. So, 3s2 3p3.
5. C: Molecular weights are expressed as grams per mole. Each additional carbon atom to the alkane requires two additional hydrogen atoms. The molecular formula of the alkane will therefore increase by -CH2-, which incrementally increases the molecular weight by 14g per mole.
6. A: This is the definition of a functional group. "Substituent" refers to an atom or group of atoms attached to a specific carbon atom within a molecule and describes the structure of the molecule rather than its chemical behavior. A "diluent" is a solvent used to dilute the concentration of a solution. An "eluent" is a solvent used to elute materials in a chromatographic separation process.
9. B: Significant digits indicate the precision of the measurement. Answer B has 5 significant figures. A and C each have 4. D has 3. The leading zeros in Answers A and D and are not counted as significant digits, but zeros at the end of the number (as in Answers A and B) do count. In answer D, the zero in between 2 and 9 is significant.
10. C: Displacement is a vector that indicates the change in the location of an object. Answer A would be correct if the question asked for the total distance the person walked or if the person didn't change direction. If the person turned around 1800, the displacement could be as small as 5 meters. If the person changed directions only a fraction of a degree, its magnitude would be less than 13 meters, not as large as 13 meters.
11. D: Each term of each expression in parentheses must be multiplied by each term in the other. Thus for D, (x+3)(3x-5) = 3×2+9x-5x-15 = 3×2+4x-15
A. (x-3)(x+5) = x2-3x+5x-15 = x2+2x-15 ≠ 3×2 +4x – 15
B. (x+5)(3+x2) = 3x+15+x3+5×2≠ 3×2+4x-15
C. x(3x+4-15) = 3×2+4x-15x = 3×2-11x ≠ 3×2+4x-15
12. B: First determine the proportion of students in Grade 5. Since the total number of students is 180, this proportion is =0.2, or 20%. Then determine the same proportion of the total prizes, which is 20% of twenty, or 0.2 x 20 = 4.
A. 5 ≠ 0.2 x 20
C. 7 ≠ 0.2 x 20
D. 3 ≠ 0.2 x 20

Personhood USA Opinion: First forced abortion documented in Texas
Jan 27, 2014, 03:07 EST
DENVER, Jan. 27, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following is being released by Personhood USA:
Thousands of babies are killed daily in the United States, but it is uncommon to have the eyes of the nation fixed on a particular baby. While abortion clinics pull in money hand over fist from willing clients, Marlise Munoz was not a client. Marlise Munoz did not consent to her child's death. A terrible tragedy rendered Marlise incapable of defending herself from a hideous forced abortion, sought by the victim's family, sanctioned by the State of Texas, and carried out by JPS Hospital.
The consequences of the unrepentant killing of Baby Munoz are chilling: any woman could undergo a forced abortion if unable to voice an opposition.
The court order for the execution of Baby Munoz appears to have violated Texas law, which states "A person may not withdraw or withhold life-sustaining treatment under this subchapter from a pregnant patient."
District Judge R.H. Wallace noted that Marlise Munoz could have chosen to have an abortion at this stage of pregnancy, citing the arbitrary line of "viability." Aside from the fact that no mother should be able to legally kill her child, Marlise Munoz did not choose to have an abortion. When she was alive and in full possession of her faculties, she had chosen life for her child. Marlise's choice was disregarded after she was no longer able to defend herself or her daughter.
Judge Wallace also ignored the fact that babies have survived at the age that baby Munoz was yesterday. There are documented cases of 22-week-old babies, and even younger, surviving early delivery. Why was baby Munoz denied even the possibility of survival? It appears that the baby girl's disabilities determined her value in this case, and sadly, it was wrongly decided that her life was not worth saving. According to ABC News, family attorneys may have blamed a lack of oxygen for the baby's apparent medical issues incorrectly, according to medical experts. Regardless, disabled children are created in God's Image, and still have a right to live.
Considering Marlise Munoz alone, it would not have been wrong to stop mechanical life support for a person who is dead. But it is murder to deprive an innocent living human being of oxygen and nutrients. Marlise's baby girl was alive. She could very well have survived a c-section before life support was pulled. If there were doubts as to her potential survival, Marlise could have been kept on life support for a meager two weeks longer to ensure a better outcome for the baby.
If Marlise must have been taken off of life support, what possible reason was there to intentionally kill the innocent child instead of performing a c-section to save the baby's life before they pulled the plug? The baby may or may not have survived a c-section, but if she didn't make it, her passing would have been a tragedy instead of a deliberate killing.
The premeditated killing of any child--whether it be in an abortion clinic or in a Texas hospital--is horrifying. It is absolutely wrong to kill an innocent person, no matter their age, location, size, sex, race, or ability. The murder of Marlise Munoz' baby was wrong, just as abortion is always wrong.
Marlise Munoz may have been considered dead in November, but her innocent baby was alive until yesterday. This was a premeditated execution weeks in the making. Personhood USA mourns the loss of Marlise Munoz and her daughter Nicole.

LAVACA (KFSM) – A Lavaca man was sent to the hospital after a lightning strike on Friday (Aug. 29), according to Lavaca Police Chief Phil Beshoner.
The man was outside taking flowers off of his porch to prepare for the storm when lightning struck a tree in his neighbor's yard about 30 yards away. The static charge from the strike led to the man being sent to Mercy Hospital in Fort Smith, according to Big Creek Volunteer Fire Chief Tommy Noel.
The static charge knocked the man unconscious for a short time, but he is expected to make a full recovery according to Noel, who was at the hospital with him.
The individual was on AR 255 when the lightning struck, Beshoner said.
Noel and police responded to the lightning strike after 1 p.m., according to officials.

Saving lives on the move
Nov 23, 2007, 12.13 AM IST
For years, calling an ambulance in India has been a painful experience for those needing emergency care and their dear ones. An eternal wait would be followed by the visit of a rickety vehicle lacking much sophistication beyond a bed and siren.
Apathetic drivers on the road would ignore the vehicle as they nudge ahead in traffic jams and the golden hour would often be lost before reaching the gates of the hospital. Death would be blamed on god and everything would be back to square one. And nobody did anything about it. Until two years ago.
Then, two engineers without any knowledge of automobiles gave up their engineering careers with German firm Dragger and started selling well-equipped ambulances, in which emergency treatment could be started as soon as the patient is taken aboard. It was a new concept and hard to sell initially.
But with their relentless marketing, the duo have made hospitals see the value of treatment on the go and made their startup, Aeon Medical Services, a preferred name among healthcare institutions in the country.
Ranjan Roy and Abani Tripathi, the entrepreneurs, say most ambulances in India are merely passenger transport vehicles and are inefficient in the task of handling the first hour after an emergency.
"In most ambulances, there is only an oxygen mask and few other equipment which are not enough to start point of care treatment by emergency response units," Mr Roy says. Aeon, on the other hand, buys vehicles, imports equipment from Europe and builds integrated ambulances for intensive care, trauma and cardiac care applications.
A patient being taken on one of these vehicles would be getting targeted, specialised emergency treatment even in the midst of a traffic bottleneck.
"Considering the traffic situation in a city like Mumbai or Delhi, if a patient has to go from Borivli to Asian Heart Institute in Bandra, it takes at least one hour. We fit our ambulances with specialised medical equipment such as cardiac revivers and other such type of equipment as is mostly found in ambulances abroad. What this does is that it allows the emergency medical personnel to start the treatment immediately thus improving chances for survival for the patient," says Mr Roy.
Roy and Tripathi founded the company in late 2005, tapping into a market that was largely dominated by garage owners and local mechanics. "When we entered the market, more than 60% of the industry was unorganised. Doctors and hospitals that wanted specialised ambulances, had no choice but to go to a local auto body-builder to get their medical equipment fitted in the body of a vehicle mostly, a tempo or a large-ish jeep. Moreover, the garage owner would not have much knowledge about medical standards nor were they interested about what are the medical requirements are for an emergency response vehicle. Thus providing doctors with a shabbily made vehicle," recalls Mr Roy.
Companies such as Tata Motors, Eicher and Bajaj Tempo do offer vehicles that can be converted into ambulances, but selling fully-appointed ambulances has never attracted them as a business. That's where the two engineers found their opportunity.
The medical fraternity was on the look for standardised vehicles matching the quality of those running in the advanced world. Tripathi and Roy used their European connection from Dragger and started sourcing equipment from Italy's Spencer. "But this was not the tough part. Since both us have biomedical background, we knew where to look for medical equipment, but knowledge about the auto industry was as good as anybody else in the country," Mr Roy says.
Undeterred, they decided to put up a fabrication unit in Pitampur, an automobile manufacturing hub. "The decision to have a facility in Pitampur proved to a good one in the long run, as we could then source our ambulance bodies from auto sector heavyweights like Tata Motors and Eicher," Mr Roy adds.
Aeon has already bagged many high-profile customers. Wockhardt group accounted for nearly Rs 7.5 crore in its fiscal 2006-07 revenues. Aeon also services other clients like the Apollo Hospital in Calcutta and Satyam Group's EMRI in Andhra Pradesh. But the ride for Aeon was not always smooth for Tripathi and Roy.
"Getting the right people was a big problem for us. For not only did we need people with the right skill set, we needed them to shift lock stock and barrel to Pitampur," says Mr Roy. They recruited garage mechanics from Kolkata, Mumbai and North India and trained them.
The customers, too, needed a lot convincing for buying their products due to cheaper competition from local vendors. "We had to convince our customers really hard to buy into our vehicles despite the higher price tag," says Mr Roy. The local vendors were able to sell at nearly half their prices.
Surprisingly, money was never a problem for these two professionals. Friends chipped in to bolster the starting capital. Aeon was started with an investment of Rs 2 crore including an equity investment of Rs 8 lakh from the promoters, while the rest being in the form of loans from financial institutions and banks. The market for specialised ambulances and medical equipment is still nascent.
Mr Roy says that the market for basic life support vehicles is around 500 per year priced at Rs 15 lakh per vehicle while that for advanced life support vehicles is also 500 vehicles per year but priced at Rs 20 lakh per car. Bulk of the business for Aeon now comes, not from hospitals but from emergency service providers like EMRI and Chikitsa.
Now Roy and Tripathi want to bring disaster management portfolio under Aeon's wings. They are also looking to scale up their pan-India presence. They plan a joint venture with an European firm to trade in medical equipment in India.
"We have now trained our guns on Mumbai's disaster management cell and other such government units across the country. The 7/11 blasts in Mumbai and tsunami in South India have made government realise how important point of care treatment is during such incidents," says Mr Roy.

What is the T&S legislation and who does it affect?
On 6th April 2016 the Government introduced new legislation which imposed restrictions on a worker's ability to get tax relief on his/her travel and subsistence costs unless it can be shown that the worker is not under the supervision, direction or control (SDC) of either the client, the agency or PayStream in the way he/she carries out work.
This new legislation affects all agency and umbrella workers. Those working through Personal Services Companies (PSCs) are not affected by the change providing they fall outside of IR35.
HMRC has stated that it will assume that all agency and umbrella workers are subject to SDC unless the agency or umbrella company has gathered evidence to the contrary.
So, if the agency or the umbrella company gather enough evidence to prove to HMRC that there is no SDC, it will still be possible for some agency and umbrella workers to continue to claim travel and subsistence expenses although the process for doing so may change.
What is Supervision, Direction and Control?
HMRC says Supervision is someone overseeing a person doing work, to ensure that person is doing the work they are required to do and it is being done correctly to the required standard. Supervision can also involve helping the person, where appropriate, in order to develop their skills and knowledge.
PayStream note: a client checking, at the end of a job, that it has been carried out properly will not, on its own, amount to supervision.
HMRC says Direction is someone making a person do his/her work in a certain way by providing them with instructions, guidance or advice as to how the work must be done. Someone providing direction will often coordinate how the work is done, as it is being undertaken.
PayStream note: if your contractor has an expertise that the client does not, it is unlikely that the client will be able to direct them as to how to do their job.
HMRC says Control is someone dictating what work a person does and how they go about doing that work. Control also includes someone having the power to move the person from one job to another.
PayStream note: if your contractors are filling in for a full time employee who is sick or on leave it is likely that they will be subject to SDC.
Important considerations regarding SDC
SDC over where the work is done, what is to be done and when it is to be done does not mean your contractors will necessarily be caught by the legislation; what is important is whether there is SDC over HOW the work is done.
To determine if SDC applies, HMRC will look at:
New world umbrella models
We have consulted with our legal team and have chosen to work with the following three umbrella company models.
Risk and debt transfer
If a contractor is found to be claiming T&S expenses in an umbrella company model where they are under SDC it is the employment intermediary operating the T&S scheme that is primarily liable if there is SDC or the right thereof. This means that umbrella companies need to ensure that they are carrying out thorough SDC tests and gathering substantial information in order to satisfy HMRC that there is no SDC.
It should however be noted that liability may fall on the agency and/or the client where "fraudulent documents" have been provided saying there is no SDC. Although fraud will be very difficult for HMRC to prove it is not difficult to see them taking the point when all of an agency's workers are stated to be outside SDC.
PayStream's advice to Agencies
There will no doubt be some umbrella companies that suggest a solution where all workers can claim T&S - this may be insurance backed (read the small print) or backed by an indemnity (worthless when you do the maths). We should not forget that it is these sort of companies that have brought the spotlight on the industry.
We have spoken to many of our agency partners who all understand that, in the new world, we will need to work closer together. We fully expect and encourage agencies to review their PSLs and for agencies to work only with those providers they can trust to operate within the new rules, particularly bearing in mind the debt transfer risks.

TRENTON – A former employee of the City of Newark was sentenced to prison Wednesday for conspiring to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars from the federally funded Women, Infants and Children (WIC) nutrition program by means of fraudulent vouchers, Attorney General Jeffrey S. Chiesa announced. Two store owners who participated in the scheme were also sentenced to prison on Jan. 16.
Audrey Walker Bey, 38, of Newark, a former clerk for the Newark WIC Program, was sentenced to eight years in state prison by Superior Court Judge Thomas M. Brown in Mercer County. One-third of the sentence must be served without possibility of parole. Bey pleaded guilty on Oct. 4, 2011 to first-degree money laundering. She is permanently barred from public employment in New Jersey. Deputy Attorney General Michael Monahan, Deputy Chief of the Division of Criminal Justice Corruption Bureau, prosecuted Bey and her co-defendants and handled the sentencing hearings.
Bey admitted that she used her position as a clerk for the Newark WIC Program to issue and print thousands of fraudulent vouchers. An investigation by the Division of Criminal Justice Corruption Bureau revealed that between July 2004 and January 2007, Bey and other Newark WIC employees, including two other clerks who previously entered guilty pleas, conspired to issue over $1 million in fake vouchers. The fake vouchers were sold to middlemen, who resold them to grocery store owners. The store owners collected WIC funds without providing any food products.
"WIC vouchers are meant to provide nutritional necessities for disadvantaged children, but this clerk for the Newark WIC program corruptly and selfishly stole program funds by counterfeiting and selling vouchers with other individuals," said Chiesa. "The lengthy prison sentences imposed on Bey and her two co-defendants reflect our commitment to prosecute public corruption aggressively, whether it involves government assistance programs or any other public program or agency."
"We have secured long prison terms for the defendants at the center of this million-dollar fraud, and we have also indicted 14 store owners and employees for allegedly cashing in on the scheme," said Stephen J. Taylor, Director of the Division of Criminal Justice. "A number of the store owners have also pleaded guilty. Our detectives and attorneys skillfully followed the trail of vouchers to charge the many participants in this conspiracy."
Bey was charged in a June 9, 2009 indictment, which also charged Benedicto Bernal, 33, owner of Dreamers Supermarket on 7th Avenue in Newark, and Elvis Manuel Sanchez-Vasquez, 38, of Elizabeth, former owner of Sanchez Supermarket on Springdale Avenue in East Orange. Bernal and Sanchez-Vasquez were also sentenced on Jan. 16 by Brown. Each man was sentenced to eight years in prison, one-third of which must be served without parole.
Bernal pleaded guilty on Dec. 1, 2009, to first-degree money laundering. Bernal, who was not an authorized WIC vendor, admitted that he purchased fraudulent vouchers from Charles Brown, a former senior clerk for the Newark WIC Program, and resold them by the stack to WIC-authorized food vendors. Ultimately, the false vouchers sold by Bernal and other middlemen were deposited into bank accounts of over 20 WIC-authorized vendors in Essex, Camden, Union and Middlesex counties. Sanchez-Vasquez pleaded guilty on Sept. 23, 2010 to first-degree money laundering. Sanchez-Vazquez, an authorized WIC vendor, admitted that he knowingly purchased fraudulent WIC vouchers from Bernal and deposited them into a bank account he controlled in order to fraudulently collect over $500,000 from the WIC program.
Charles Brown, 44, of Newark, the former senior clerk for the Newark WIC Program who sold vouchers to Bernal, pleaded guilty to second-degree official misconduct for his role in the scheme and was sentenced on Feb. 23, 2009, to eight years in state prison by Superior Court Judge Michael A. Petrolle in Essex County. Another former senior clerk in the Newark WIC Program, Wyetta Judson, 41, of Newark, pleaded guilty on Feb. 20, 2009 to second-degree official misconduct. She will also face a state prison term when she is sentenced.
Twenty-eight defendants have been charged in the investigation. On Nov. 10, 2011 the Division of Criminal Justice obtained an indictment charging 12 grocery store owners and two employees with participating in the conspiracy to steal over $1 million from the WIC program. All 14 defendants were charged with conspiracy, money laundering, official misconduct, pattern of official misconduct, theft by deception, and receiving stolen property. They allegedly stole from the WIC program by obtaining funds using false vouchers without providing any food products to WIC participants.
A defendant in the November indictment, Martin Martinez, 51, of Newark, former owner of Duran Stop 1 on Bergen Street in Newark, pleaded guilty on May 15 to first-degree money laundering before Petrolle. Martinez was sentenced on July 25 to six years in state prison, including two years of parole ineligibility. He entered a consent judgment to pay $158,490 in restitution to the New Jersey WIC program. Another defendant in that indictment, John Cepeda, 36, of Elizabeth, a manager of Los Tiburones on Bergen Street in Newark, pleaded guilty to first-degree money laundering and was sentenced by Petrolle on April 25 to five years in prison, including 20 months of parole ineligibility. He was ordered to pay $71,327 to the New Jersey WIC program.
The investigation began when the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services and the Newark Department of Health and Human Services alerted the Division of Criminal Justice to suspected thefts of vouchers from the Newark WIC Program. Deputy Attorney General Monahan has prosecuted the defendants with Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Manis. The investigation was conducted for the Division of Criminal Justice by Sgt. David Salzmann, Detective Michael Behar, DAG Monahan, DAG Manis, Administrative Analyst Kathleen Ratliff, Sgt. Harry Maronpot Jr., Detective Scott Donlan, Sgt. James Scott and Detective Tim Herron.
WIC is a federally funded program, administered by the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, which provides low-income women who are pregnant or breast feeding and guardians of children up to age 5 with vouchers to purchase nutritional necessities, including baby formula, milk, orange juice and cereal. The vouchers can be redeemed at any store approved as a WIC vendor for food items specifically listed on the voucher. Once the voucher is redeemed, the vendor completes the voucher by filling in the cost of the product supplied. The Newark WIC Program is one of 18 WIC programs in New Jersey.
