President Donald trump signed his first Executive Order as President on Monday. Ordering federal agencies to "Ease the Burden from the Affordable Care Act" or Obamacare.
News 13s Justin Roth decided to see what this means for the thousands of people in Wyoming currently on the plan.
Healthcare is in the hot seat once again, but what is an Executive Order and what does it mean?
Erich Frankland is a Professor at Casper College and the Political Science Chairman he says, an Executive Order is "How to enforce and implements existing laws, and so Congress has no say in this similar to a law or a budget item he has a digression to essential say don't do this or do that within the context of the law."
Executive Orders give Presidents authority to tell government agencies to enforce a law. In the case of the Affordable Care Act.. President Trump wants to eventually repeal Obamacare.
"Were in limbo right now essentially. Now you as an individual if you have your insurance and so forth already under the Affordable Care Act that doesn't effect your current status but if your not it could" says, Frankland.
Medical professional recognize the benefits of law. Wes Morris is Certified Physician Assistant at the Community Health Center of Central Wyoming he says, "The making sure students people that are under their parents insurance until 26 years of age I think that's a great things of the other things are no preexisting conditions being added on so people can get the care they need when they need it."
However; one of the main reasons for change is the law is very expensive and in some cases not affordable says Shelby Ashcraft Certified Application Counselor for the Community Health Center, "We've had several instances where patients don't make enough money to qualify for the tax credit so then at those times premiums are just too high for people to afford."
Frankland explains Legislators may be too focused one piece of the pie so to speak, "It could be positive but it could also be a nightmare. The problem right now is with the existing bills or proposals out there all there focus on is repeal we don't have a replacement yet as far as what were going to do.
Morris echoes the concern saying Legislators have a big task ahead, "Making in sort of reformation for what's currently in place would be very difficult and very burdensome. What I hope to see and what I hope to see for my patients is that there's things that aren't working tweaked and changed to affect people in a positive way. I think most would agree we don't want to see anybody without care. How were going to pay for it and how that's going to affect everyone else is a big questions.
At least 20,000 people in Wyoming are insured under the Affordable Care Act.
Professor Frankland adds we live in a democracy and if you don't like what's happening in Washington you are encourage to call your representatives.

Index Title:
The Avalanches
The Avalanches
The Avalanches' album Since I Left You, released in 2000, remains one of the most forward-thinking, intriguing and influential albums of this century thus far.
Reportedly made up of over 3,500 samples, it's dense, witty, groovy and the perfect example of plunderphonics in action. It's the kind of record that is always going to appeal to crate diggers, but constructed with such expertise that casual music fans also appreciate its genius.
In the 15 years since Since I Left You's release, The Avalanches have been awfully quiet. While a second record has been mooted for years now, there has been little concrete evidence of its completion. Thankfully their sole album remains a masterpiece and hasn't aged since its release all those years ago.

Sun staff writer
DEWITT — Holy Cross Church was filled to capacity on the morning of Sept. 7 when faculty, administrators, religious and priests gathered for the Mass of the Holy Spirit. The mood was upbeat and many of those in attendance renewed their acquaintances after the summer. They had come to pray and to ask God's blessings for the 2010-2011 academic year.
Bishop Robert Cunningham served as the celebrant and homilist at the special Mass.
In his homily, Bishop Cunningham said that it was fitting that the opening of school begin with the celebration of the Eucharist. He said the grace to fulfill one's vocation as Catholic school educators is found in the nourishment from God's Word and Sacrament. "We cannot be all that we are called to be without God's help," Bishop Cunningham said. "We need the assistance of His grace."
Bishop Cunningham's inspiration for his homily came from an article he read this summer written by Cardinal Zenon Grochoewski, Prefect of the Congregation for Catholic Education, the office which assists the Holy Father in carrying out his responsibilities with regard to educational institutions. Cardinal Grochoewski noted in his article that, "Only the Catholic university that conserves its Catholic identity will have a future."
Bishop Cunningham said he began to think about the diocese's Catholic schools and their unique character. "Herein lies their specific character: to cultivate human values in accordance with the Gospel, the words and deeds of Jesus," he said.
Bishop Cunningham told the educators and staff that they play a vital role in the schools, which need dedicated administrators, faculty and staff who are living witnesses to the Gospel. "The prophetic words of Pope Paul VI ring as true today as they did more than 30 years ago: 'Modern man listens more willingly to witnesses than to teachers, and if he does listen to teachers, it is because they are witnesses,'" said Bishop Cunningham.
He emphasized the importance of giving authentic witness to the person of Christ, to His words and deeds and to the church and its teachings. If educators did that, he said, the more likely their students would become committed followers of Christ and active members of the church. "Only as an authentic witness can you lead others to the truth and beauty of Christ," said the bishop.
Kathleen Harding, fifth grade teacher at Bishop's Academy at Holy Family in Syracuse, attended the Mass and found it very inspiring. "The Mass was beautiful and special," Harding said. She enjoys teaching fifth graders, she said, because that age group is curious about God and she loves teaching them about Him.
After the Mass, Chris Mominey, Diocesan Superintendent of Catholic Schools, addressed those in attendance, extending a special welcome to new staff members.
Mominey explained what had been accomplished in the newly implemented five-pillar structure for the vision of the future of Catholic schools, which was put in place at the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year. The five pillars are Catholic identity, quality administration, teaching and coaching, commitment to educating "digital natives" (a term used to represent a generation of children which has grown up using the Internet and modern technology), sound fiscal stewardship with emphasis on development work and boldness of new ideas.
Mominey said that what they had accomplished in 12 months is remarkable, but more needs to be done to sustain Catholic schools' future. He promised that he, along with the Catholic schools office and the school principals, would do everything they could to face the challenges with hope and boldness.
Because the future of funding for Catholic education greatly depends on the generosity of donors and alumni, a development audit of the diocesan high schools has been commissioned.
"Thanks to the Heritage Campaign Endowment, an endowment initiated nearly 10 years ago from the generosity of the people of this diocese, we have been able to provide financial and programmatic resources that directly have an impact on the lives of our students and their families," said Mominey at a recent press conference.
The Heritage Endowment has awarded $590,000 to the schools of the diocese at a time when they are most needed.
The grant will allow the schools to provide the following: $130,000 for marketing and development, $90,000 for program enhancement, $80,000 to maintain the vision of educating Digital Natives, $20,000 to maintain vocation and religious certification programs, $50,000 to continue the partnership with Le Moyne College in the area of teacher training, leadership development and overall professional development and $225,000 for tuition assistance.
As a result, 875 families received financial assistance. For Jordanie Hakizimana, an 11th grader at Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School, receiving financial aid for his second year at the school, makes all the difference in the world. Determined to continue his education at the school, Jordanie worked two summer jobs to pay for his tuition and books and asked various individuals within the diocese for financial help.
Before coming to Bishop Grimes, he attended Central Technical Vocational Center in Syracuse. "I didn't feel safe there," said Jordanie. "At Bishop Grimes, I feel like my teachers want me to succeed. They care about my future. I feel safe and I learn better there."
Kayla Purcell, art teacher at Bishop Grimes Junior/Senior High School, attended the Mass and said it was a great way to start the school year. "It was moving," Purcell said. She felt inspired by Mominey's talk about the five pillars, "especially the one about thinking boldly," she said. "I have some new projects in mind for the classroom."

Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones.
Ezekiel connected dem dry bones.
Oh hear the word of the Lord!
Forgive me for my poor singing, but after hearing the words of Ezekiel's stirring vision in our OT reading, I couldn't resist it!
Both readings today are about resurrection: the renewal of life in someone or something that to all appearances is dead. Ezekiel (37:1-14) prophesies the resurrection of the House of Israel, at a time of desolation and exile. And John (11:1-45) tells us the charming story of the raising of Lazarus.
So today I'm going to examine these readings more closely and ponder the meaning of resurrection. What a fine subject resurrection is for a fine spring day, when all about us seeds and plants and trees and lambs and calves are bounding into new life in our gardens and fields!.
2. So firstly, what about Ezekiel's dry bones?
Ezekiel is writing in Babylon around 580BC, shortly after Nebuchadnezzar's armies had laid waste to Jerusalem and the Temple. The Israelite leaders and many of the people had been deported into exile by the banks of the Euphrates, close to Babylon in what is now modern Iraq. Babylon may well have been the greatest city in the world at that time, with a population estimated at about 200,000. There are disturbing reports that when the American army invaded Iraq, they bulldozed and levelled part of the ruins of this great city to build a base for tanks. The invading armies of today are no less brutal and destructive than those of antiquity!
Ezekiel conjures up such a vivid picture, doesn't he? The unburied corpses of the Israelites killed in the Babylonian invasions have weathered to parched, dislocated and scattered bones. We are told they represent the whole people of Israel, the exiles crushed by despair, and the dislocated and disoriented Israelites left behind, not just the dead. And Ezekiel tells this devastated people that their God YHWH will not let them down; he will open their very graves, he will give them life, and he will restore them to their land.
Many people have seen this passage as a promise of a literal resurrection of the dead, but I think that is a mistake. I feel sure we should see it as a metaphor, a metaphor carefully crafted by Ezekiel to give a devastated nation hope, hope that one day they will be restored to their land. His words, and those of other prophets, resonated with the people of Israel, and helped to hold them together, until eventually the exiles were able to return to Jerusalem, 50 years later, when Babylon in turn was captured by Cyrus the Persian. The ancient people of Israel did indeed experience a resurrection to new life!
These words resonated once again with the devastated Jewish people of Europe, emerging from the Nazi extermination camps after the Holocaust, the Shoah in Hebrew, as they created their modern state of Israel in Ezekiel's ancient homeland. A heart-breaking consequence has been the devastation of the Palestinian people they displaced. The creation of the modern state of Israel brought exile and dispossession to some 750,000 Palestinians, which they call the Nakba, or Catastrophe in Arabic. As we walk with Jesus on the road to Jerusalem and the cross this Lent, let us pray for an end to the evil cycle of hatred and bloodshed there, for reconciliation with peace and justice, for a resurrection to new life for all in the Holy Land.
The black slaves transported to America were another devastated people. The plight of the Israelites in exile and Ezekiel's message of hope resonated with them too, inspiring the fine Negro spirituals and Gospel music which are part of our common inheritance. Thank God that Christian leaders like Martin Luther King were there to harness their hope. I quote from his great speech to the March on Washington in 1963:
Let freedom ring. And when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children—black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics—will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!
A call for resurrection to new life, if ever I heard one!
3. Now let's turn to John's Gospel and the raising of Lazarus.
It's a rather long passage, and it's a puzzling story, but the Evangelist fills it with so much incidental detail that the scenes really come to life.
One lovely thing that shines out is how much Jesus loved Martha and Mary and their brother Lazarus.
- Luke also tells us about Martha and Mary, but not Lazarus. If you remember, Mary sat at Jesus's feet and listened to him talk, leaving Martha to do all the housework. And when Martha complained, Jesus gently chided her for being so distracted by mundane tasks.
- How delightful it must have been for Jesus to visit these close friends, to relax, to be himself, and to drink in the warmth and love of their home. As a wandering teacher Jesus had no home of his own. I feel sure that he must have needed that sort of refreshment, just as much as we do.
- But this visit was different. Lazarus was dead. Both Martha and Mary separately said to him 'Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died'. How guilty Jesus must have felt for arriving late! When he saw Mary weeping, Jesus too broke down and wept. Our translation has it that he was 'deeply moved', but this really isn't strong enough at all. The Greek word used by John is also used of a horse snorting. The meaning must be that Jesus's heart was so wrung by anguish that he groaned out loud.
- And then Jesus did what he had come to do: he called Lazarus out from the grave, back from the dead.
But there are a number of things that puzzle me about John's story:
- Firstly, some of the words he puts in Jesus's mouth seem rather out of character to me. Think for a moment about his declaration that Lazarus's illness 'is for God's glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it'. What a cold way to look at a friends suffering! Could Jesus really have said that? John's purpose in writing his Gospel was to convert Greek speaking Jews who were not believers. Is it possible this lead him to colour his story?
- Secondly, John makes it clear that the raising of Lazarus is the immediate reason why the Jewish authorities decided to do away with Jesus, leading directly to his crucifixion. Yet the other three Gospels say absolutely nothing about it, nothing at all! We know that at least one of the apostles was there, Thomas. So how could the other Gospel writers not have heard of and written about such an important miracle, with such momentous results, if John's account is correct? Is it?
- And then there's the elephant in the room. How can we explain satisfactorily - scientifically - a four day old, stinking corpse rising up and walking? A person who has apparently just died might be woken from a coma. But one that has started to decompose?
There may be problems with John's story. Some of us will believe that it all happened just as John sets down that it did. Others will be much less certain. And we can never know for sure what exactly happened so long ago. But does it really matter whether or not Jesus literally raised a corpse to life in Bethany in AD30?
4. What really matters, I think, is the spiritual message.
That message is that that Jesus is the resurrection and the life. Perhaps John has crafted the whole story around that message.
Jesus said to Martha 'I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die'.
One thing is clear – Jesus is not speaking of physical life. We all know that Christians experience physical death just like everyone else.
But if we believe in Jesus Christ, if we accept everything he teaches us about his loving Father God as absolutely true, and stake our lives upon it, then we enter into a new relationship with God, and we enter into a new relationship with life.
- We become absolutely sure of God's love. We become absolutely sure that above all he is a redeeming God – if sin is death, forgiveness is resurrection. And the fear of death vanishes, because death means nothing more than a merging with the great lover of souls.
- With faith in Jesus Christ, our life becomes a new thing, a strong thing, such a lovely thing, that we cannot imagine it ending incomplete.
'Do you believe this?' said Jesus. 'Yes, Lord' said Martha, 'I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world'.

The welcome mat is out in Oak Lawn for Gov. Bruce Rauner.
But the fight may be on against him in Palos Hills.
Some interesting reactions came from local mayors last week follwing Rauner's budget address last Wednesday.
"I would like to invite him to Oak Lawn anytime," Mayor Sandra Bury said last week in reaction to Rauner's proposed 50 percent cutback in towns' annual share of state income tax revenue.
She thinks he should see her town as it would serve as a model for him to check out.
Bury would like to open the village's books to the newly-elected governor and explain that Oak Lawn and other communities throughout the southwest suburbs cannot afford such a significant revenue hit.
She'd also like to point out that Oak Lawn—like most other towns—does not have cash reserves on hand for a rainy day.
If approved, Rauner's cuts would mean an estimated $2.7 million annual revenue loss for Oak Lawn, Bury said. It's a figure the mayor has a tough time grasping. Indeed, the village would have few options to make up the loss.
"You either layoff or raise taxes. It's wrong," Bury said.
At a time when Oak Lawn and other communities are already making budget cuts to fully fund employee pensions, a significant revenue reduction from the state is the last thing they need, Bury said.
The mayor said she was caught off guard by Rauner's proposed cut, which he outlined during his budget address last Wednesday to a joint session of the General Assembly.
During his campaign, Bury said, Rauner met with area mayors and said he wanted to work with them after the election.
"We were optimistic," she said.
She said she's hopeful that the governor's proposal "starts a conversation."
"I have hope, but it's pretty depressing," she said.
Bury is not alone in her displeasure with Rauner's plan. Other mayors in the Reporter's coverage area expressed dismay at the plan. Five of the six mayors responded to interview requests however Worth Mayor Mary Werner did not return numerous requests for comment.
"I hope he doesn't fix (the state's financial problems) on the back of local governments," said Evergreen Park Mayor Jim Sexton. "We can't afford to pay other people's bills."
Sexton added that the state could take a lesson from his community, which keeps a close eye on revenues and expenditures.
"We watch every dime. Maybe others should do the same," Sexton said. "We pay our bills year to year."
Evergreen Park could lose approximately $500,000 annually if Rauner's proposal becomes a reality.
Palos Hills Mayor Mayor Gerry Bennett said the proposal is unnecessary.
"All they're doing is putting (the burden) on the backs of local residents," said Bennett, president of the Southwest Conference of Mayors. "They're going to bankrupt local governments."
Palos Hills and other communities such as neighboring Hickory Hills already operate with fewer employees in key departments such as public works than they did just a few years ago, Bennett said.
Additional reductions in manpower would make it extremely difficult to provide basic services to residents. Additionally, towns would have a tough time avoiding cuts to the public safety, he said.
"It will bankrupt us. The fight is on, I guess," Bennett said.
Hickory Hills Mayor Mike Howley agreed.
His city has relies on the utility tax to help balance the annual budget. The city has put off capital improvement projects such as street and sewer work to help make ends meet.
"That's problematic," Howley said. "We still have to provide city services."
He said he's hopeful that Rauner's proposal is just a starting point in budget negotiations—a sentiment put forth by area legislators as well.
"I guess you have to start someplace, and this number got everyone's attention," Howley said
Chicago Ridge Mayor Chuck Tokar echoed the feelings of his mayoral colleagues.
"That's a big chunk of change," Tokar said. "I wasn't expecting (Rauner) to say that. I can't replace $600,000, $700,000."
Tokar admitted that that his town is fortunate to draw sales taxes from a regional shopping mall, but that revenue stream would never replace the state's money, he said.
At least one local elected official said he agreed with Rauner's plan.
"I would say there's always room for cuts," said Palos Hills Ald. Al Pasek.
He added that smaller communities should consider merging if they can no longer go it alone. But mayor and many aldermen would never back such a plan, Pasek said.
"I think it these little dynasties that don't want to get broken up," he said

RICHMOND, Va. -- A federal appeals court has found that a towering cross on a Maryland state highway median just outside Washington, D.C., violates the U.S. Constitution.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Richmond ruled Wednesday that the 92-year-old monument known as the Bladensburg cross amounts to government sponsorship of a particular religion. The court overturned a 2016 ruling that said it was meant mostly as a secular commemoration of World War I.
The marble-and-cement cross was built in 1925 to honor 49 men from Prince George's County who died in World War I.
The American Humanist Association said the 40-foot tall cross endorses Christianity while ignoring non-Christian veterans.
The 4th Circuit said it "excessively entangles the government in religion" because the cross is the "core symbol of Christianity" and "breaches" the wall separating church and state.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. – Arkansas plays host to Mississippi State on Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. in the final regular-season home game of the year. Following is a partial transcript of head coach Stan Heath's press conference.
"I really hope it's a special night for Jonathon Modica, Eric Ferguson, who are two four-year players, and also for Dontell Jefferson, who's been here two years. Those guys have been a part of the rebuilding process, they are good kids and they've done a lot.
"Two guys (Ferguson and Modica) are 1,000-point scorers. I'm proud of the way they have grown and the way they've played down the stretch. They are playing their best basketball and it couldn't come at a better time for us.
"I know as much pressure as I've felt (to get to the NCAA Tournament), they've felt the same amount. I know how important that is for Eric, but Jonathon, being from Arkansas, he wants to do it for his home state.
"We still have to be a very hungry team. We are in a good position, but things change week-to-week. The biggest change in our play has been on the inside. Darian Townes, Steven Hill, Charles Thomas and Vincent Hunter are all sophomores and I can see them all growing and blossoming. We need to continue to get that same kind of play from them."
Mississippi State:
"Mississippi State has a lot of talent. They are young, but talented. Charles Rhodes is having a huge conference season. If not for some of the other freshmen in the league, everybody would be talking about Jamont Gordon. Lately, they've gone to a smaller lineup. They've been starting Rhodes at center. They are small, quick and dangerous in transition, and they can rebound well because they have great athletes and speed."
Reasons for improved play:
"A couple of things have happened to make us better. One is our inside play. Another is inserting Eric Ferguson into the lineup. He's a legitimate threat to score and he's a veteran."
Balanced scoring with five players in double figures in the last three games:
"I've always wanted to be diverse and have balance. Recently we've been in that mode. When inside guys score, it has a positive affect in other areas because they feel more a part of things."
Charles Thomas:
"Charles has grown a lot. This season, compared to last season, is as different as night and day. At Tennessee, I was getting ready to sub him in for Vince. He said Vince was playing well and to leave him in. He is unselfish and about winning. He's willing to make sacrifice plays giving up his body and diving into the stands."
Ronnie Brewer:
"Playing point guard has taken away from his scoring, but it's helped our team. Even from that spot, he'll be able to score."
Vincent Hunter:
"I think everybody across Arkansas is happy for Vince because of his ups and downs. He brings energy and hustle, whether it's getting a rebound or a tip. He's a long, tall glass of water. He takes pressure off of Darian and Charles from playing extended minutes and having to make a lot of hustle plays."

Feel free to leave a comment or follow any way you please! (Twitter - Goodreads - RSS)

That's a really good answer, and now that you've said it I'm wondering why I didn't think of that!
I agree with Grace, your design is lovely. Especially since I think us book bloggers can get tempted to cover everything with books, making everyone's blogs look similar! Your colours and design are really fresh though, I like it!

Amidst a wild flat meadow encircled by an Edenic lush forest, a couple has cocooned itself in a secluded grand mansion that was not so long ago burned to the ground, devotedly restored by the supportive wife. Within this safe environment, the once famous middle-aged poet husband is desirous of creating his magnum opus, however, he seems unable to break out of the persistent creative rut that haunts him. And then, unexpectedly, a knock at the door and the sudden arrival of a cryptic late-night visitor and his intrusive wife will stimulate the writer's stagnant imagination, and much to the perplexed wife's surprise, the more chaos he lets in their haven, the better for his punctured male ego. In the end, will this incremental mess blemish irreparably the couple's inviolable sanctuary?

Darren Aronfsky is a director I follow, even since Pi. He's daring and unpredictable. I loved Requiem For A Dream and Black Swan, the rest of his opus has left me puzzled or downright annoyed. Mother! belongs to the later. All the element's were there – Rosemary's Baby written by Edward Albee – that's what I thought right up to Michelle Pfeiffer's entrance, then something happened – The movie falls through a totally unbelievable, hysterical downward spiral. What? Yes, exactly. Jennifer Lawrence suffers, puffs and moans from the very first frame, well second frame. She's afraid from the word go. She could run away but for some reason she never ventures out of the house. Questions like that become a massive obstacle for us to care and feel connected – Think of Mia Farrow in Rosemary's Baby or Colin Firth in Apartment Zero – co-habitating with a devil, surrounded by sinister neighbors or unwanted visitors. Those films also had sensational scripts and the narrative even when symbolic was always solidly based on the story at hand – Here it feels like gimmicks – One idea and then round and round the mulberry bush. I don't know how many times she shouts at her husband "Please make them leave" – Jennifer Lawrence goes through it valiantly and vociferously. Javier Bardem as the egomaniacal husband is absurdly unconvincing – and I'm a devoted a fan – Michelle Pfeiffer is the one who brings something new to the proceedings and a truly startling performance. Other than that, I'm sorry to say no to Mother

Hello Film Reverie listeners! In this episode we have Marlo Bernier and Jennifer Fontaine to discuss their most recent project Myrna, a TV show about an actor on a "gender journey". Both Jennifer and Marlo have extensive experience in front of and behind the camera and are both exceptionally talented artists. We had a great talk about the industry, artistry, longevity, and of course their passion project Myrna which is currently in the top three out of over 5,000 projects on Amazon Studios. Listen in to see what they had to say!
Myrna – A Groundbreaking Original Dramedy Series
After a successful career in front of the camera and on the stage, an actor is willing to sacrifice everything when she finally confronts her true gender identity and transitions from male-to-female.
We follow Myrna as she struggles to find work as an actress, wrestles with a manager who still wants to send her out as her former-famous self, Michael and deals with the drama of her friends' reactions as they make an effort to come to terms with Myrna and her life-altering transition.
Marlo Bernier's inspiring and life-changing story!
I don't know when it was exactly, that I found myself with feelings of the female kind, but as with so many stories of transsexuals, it began very early and it's safe to say that my first memory of such would have been at the age of four. It wasn't until later, in my teens, that I found out the adults called it something else.
I was transsexual, but kept telling myself that it was just a phase. I joined the Air Force, played in bands overseas, did copious amounts of heroin, got married, acted my heart out and yet, always deep down inside there was this knowledge that I wasn't being true to who I was. I wasn't happy.
Flash forward to 2007 when I was faced with a choice; transition or die. I chose to live and in so doing I knew it would be impossible to continue to keep secrets and so I pulled on my Big Girl Panties and put it all on the line, publicly, as I transitioned from male-to-female/Mark-to-Marlo.
Yes, I have lost a few friends and family along the way. The calls to audition ceased. I sacrificed much, but in return I gained much more, so much more. And amazingly once I'd stopped hiding from myself, relationships with a large majority of my family, friends and colleagues only flourished and strengthened and that has certainly never been more evident than seeing the quality of artisans who have graciously and enthusiastically attached themselves to Myrna.
I do very much desire for you to understand that though Myrna will tackle some pretty serious issues that it is in no way a funeral dirge, nor some sordid peek into the transsexual world, but rather a celebration of life.Y es, life with all its idiosyncrasies that every single one of us possess, no matter where we come from, or where we're headed. True, we are all different however our respective journeys though unique remain at their very core; symbiotic.
Bottom-line; I and all of us are fully aware and respectful of that with which we've been entrusted and we know that at the end of the day as we produce this show, we will have to ask ourselves; Did we tell the truth, no matter the cost? I trust by now you know the answer to that. Ultimately by showing you, our audience, this life of mine from Myrna's world-view, I believe hearts and minds will be transformed., barriers broken and stunned Straw Menknocked to the ground, that we will indeed have contributed in a significant way toward this effort of social change and acceptance.
Marlo Bernier
Creator of Myrna

AnonD-11130, 16 Jun 2011It's a pitty that it hasn't 1GB RAM. Except this, it's a perfect phoneThis was on the next page, so why the post ?
Day 102
As you know the SGS2 comes in @ 1Gb whilst the Sensation at 768Mb i.e over 1/4 less or -232Mb
HOPEFULLY THIS VIDEO COMPARISON, multitasking helps
It's a pitty that it hasn't 1GB RAM. Except this, it's a perfect phone

HTC not trustworthy, 14 Jun 2011HTC is a not trustworthy phonemaker. Has many bugs in the software and HTC doesn't respond. ... morePoor phone, lousy display, slow in real life usage. The Sense 3 UI is just a gimmick. I'm used to Nexus One with Laucher Pro, so first thing that I have done with the Sensation, was to unbolt, or uninstall the Sense elements, wherever I could. My Nexus One phones [3 off] have Amoled screens and Sensation's SLCD comes nowhere near in contrast [and it definitely can't compare to Galaxy S20. Overal, despite the faster / dual layer processor, the phone is slow on 3G or on wi-fi. Whoever is thinking of buying this phone ... don't. I have 2 of them, running on Vodafone and both have piss poor reception on 3G and on wi-fi in areas where Nexus One work like a dream.
hi! I heard that sensation cannot play some games full screen due to the qHD resolution..can somebody tell me few games which CANNOT be played fullscreen and which CAN be played fullscreen??
How about angry birds?
I own a sensation. took yesterday for 30200 rupees..its a awesome phone..look fabulous...sense 3 is good but looks immature..hopefully gets better in future updates...2 months of wait is worth for this phone..
please reply about the death grip issues in india..., please please. where can i get this in india for the cheapest????
HTC not trustworthy, 14 Jun 2011HTC is a not trustworthy phonemaker.
Has many bugs in the software and HTC doesn't respond.
... moreBollocks. I've had Samsung that was at least on paper superior to Wildfire in every possible aspect by 10 folds. Yet i find plastic Wildfire to be a much more pleasent device to use, i have no problems at all and software is not buggy at all. And at least they have a contact and staff responds rather quickly.
I won't say HTC in general is superior to others, because it's not and they have their crappy moments but at least they have some parts done right.
Though i can't deny that i'd like to see a stainless steel body with Gorilla Glass HTC phone...
Ordered the HTC Sensation from Vodafone UK. I found the phone a little on the big size and the battery lasted about 4 hours, if you use it as advertised. The screen was big and clear but as I said, it uses the battery like there's no tomorrow. Overall I think HTC is heading in the right direction but need to work on a battery which can support the phone. In the end, I packed it up and sent it back to Vodafone UK and choose another blackberry. Shame but never mind.... Fingers crossed, HTC will have sorted out their battery problems and I'll be looking at what they are offering in 12 months.
kasra, 14 Jun 2011is it just me or are other people also have difficulties installing some games like spiderman ... moreno because of the screen resolution which is qhd
Tedy, 14 Jun 2011Does anyone know if everything its the same as the htc sensation 4g except for the wed storage... morethere is no difference between the 2 phones except that the 4G is for the USA. HSDPA 900/1700/2100
and "ordinary" Sensation is HSDPA 900/2100
itis confusing and HTC should have just made the one phone called '4G' with 1700/900/1900/2100 for both markets
This is the first phone i have seen with so little between USA & europe
The 4G is a better buy for the uk traveller who goes to the USA
Jazzz, 14 Jun 2011Has anyone experienced the "death-grip" issue yet? Gotta know asap...
thx!i already got DHD & Sensation & wifi is much more powerful then the DHD & i guess the death grip was in a prototype , that's what i've found & it my opinion . so don't depend on it !! then put the blame on me :) take care guys

Do you want your students to focus on their learning improvements rather than just mastering the task at hand? Do you find your students easily give up on challenging tasks? Or do they simply say "This is easy!" and that's it? Maybe you should try incorporating Growth Mindset in your classroom.
This was something I started to really push for this year and it's only been 10 weeks of school for my class in Australia and I'm seeing a HUGE difference in my students' attitude towards learning.
What is Growth Mindset?
According to Mindset Works, Inc.: "The growth mindset, the understanding of intelligence and abilities as qualities we can develop, has been shown over and over to have powerful ramifications on student motivation and learning, and school success."
Basically, my view is that for my students it's having a true understanding of the learning process. It's about becoming a hard-working and enthusiastic learner who takes what they have learnt and expanding on it. It's about knowing how and why we got the answer is just as, if not more, important as the answers.
Challenges in My Class
What I had noticed in the past was that my students were so focused on answers and completing the task at hand, that they overlooked the learning process of everything along the way. I really wanted my students to understand the WHY and HOW rather than "the correct answer." (This was especially relevant in my maths lessons.)
When something was too difficult or challenging for them they would often just give up and say "I can't!" and compare themselves to others in the class. I wanted them to understand they could do it and that every student learns differently and at different speeds.
How I Incorporate Growth Mindset
I have display a "Change Your Words – Change Your Mindset" posters in my classroom. I have banned the following sayings in my class:
- I can't…
- He/She is better…
- This is easy…
- This is too hard…
- I give…
- This is good enough…
- I made a mistake…
When I hear one of my students saying or starting to say these phrases, I tell to stop and change their words while pointing to the posters. I have the whole class participate when a Growth Mindset saying is appropriate during our class discussions.
Over the course of just a few weeks they were all saying it with me then started to use them even when I wasn't paying attention, or so they thought.
My Growth Mindset Outcomes
My students overall are more driven to complete their work with their best effort. I have some students extending their learning and trying something new to expand their work into masterpieces. I have some really understanding the WHY and HOW and able to assist their peers who struggle. I have more confident learners and several students who want to try more challenging work! I have stronger readers and growing mathematicians. Our classroom environment has been more productive and a happy/positive place where students are excited to learn again.
Growth Mindset Resources
This is a great activity to make with your students and hang around the classroom as a fun reminder! Check it out on TeachersPayTeachers at Runde's Room!
If you have discovered Kid President on YouTube, then you need to check him out! There are so many out of the box and inspirational videos. My students love him and ask to watch more and more of his videos.
Are you on ClassDojo? Have you checked out their Big Ideas videos? They're ALL about Growth Mindset! I've watched the videos with my class and they're so intrigued by the storyline. We always discuss which posters were represented in the video and share what we think we would do if we were in the same situation. (Great Brain Break too!)

Forget snow, rain will become main precipitation in the Arctic
Climate researchers Richard Bintanja and Qinghua Ding found a 50% to 60% Arctic precipitation increase (mostly rain) between 2091 and 2100, using 37 climate models.
"No matter where you are in the world, a temperature increase means the air can hold more moisture."
Sea ice coverage in the Arctic has been plummeting for decades, and the region has repeatedly set record lows in recent years. When sea ice retreats, it uncovers vast open waters. This massively increases evaporation, leading to more clouds and more precipitation. But instead of snow, the Arctic will receive downpours of rain. The cycle feeds itself – warming temperatures lead to more rain and more melting ice, which leads to more open water and even more rain. "If the current trend proceeds – and all indications are that it will go even faster than predicted – then we'll have a sea-ice-free Arctic," Bintanja says.
"Eighty years from now, we don't know how much CO2 there will be, but I'm sure it will be very warm in the Arctic. And anthropogenic causes will overwhelm anything else," Ding says.
The rise in rainfall will cause a cascade of effects, he says. Rain can melt snow that usually reflects light, leaving the land to absorb more heat from the sun. The run-off from melting snow can alter the salinity of the Arctic Ocean, which can harm marine species.
Globally, precipitation is projected to increase by 2 per cent for every degree the planet warms, but in the Arctic that figure is double. By 2091, the Arctic will see a dramatic increase in overall precipitation and most of it won't come in the form of snow – instead it will be rain.
... the North Pole is likely to see the amount of yearly rain that usually falls at the edge of the Arctic in places like northern Norway or Alaska. [order changed] [emphasis mine]

Trump budget
The White House's budget proposal for 2018, released Thursday, seeks cuts in science and health agencies across the board. Congress has final approval on this request from the president. Some budgetary wallets would be lightened more than others. Here is the breakdown.
Environmental Protection Agency: 31 percent cut
2017: $8.2 billion
2018: $5.7 billion
The Environmental Protection Agency gets hit with the largest reduction in terms percentage for an agency or department. The move eliminates more than 50 programs, including infrastructure assistance to Alaska Native Villages and the Mexico Border as well as Energy Star, which sets efficiency standards for consumer products. While the budget promises "to finance high priority infrastructure investments that protect human health," it would also slash $330 million for Superfund cleanup programs, which remove pollution from some of the nation's most contaminated land. The proposal also eliminates funding for the regional restoration efforts across the nation. Those projects keep human runoff from contaminating waterways like the Great Lakes.... As some expected, the Clean Power Plan is discontinued. The EPA's grants and research divisions lose about half their funding. Overall, the proposed budget would clear out 3,200 jobs.
National Institutes of Health: 19 percent cut
2017: $31.7 billion
2018: $25.9 billion
The federal agency responsible for funding the training of doctors and scientists as well as developing treatments for cancer, Alzheimer's disease, obesity, mental health disorders and a range of other maladies would face a $5.8 billion cut under the proposed budget. The budget calls for a major reorganization of the NIH's institutes and centers. The move would close the Fogarty International Center, which creates partnerships between American and international research ce.... The NIH budget has has been stagnant for years and has failed to keep pace with inflation since 2003. The NIH employs 5,200 scientists at its various campuses and its grants support 300,000 researchers at 2,500 universities and organizations in ever.... The Department of Health and Human Services, which encompasses the NIH, faces the largest monetary cut — $15.1 billion — of all the departments and agencies mentioned the White House budget proposal. However, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which handles some but not all national programs geared toward tackling the opioid epidemic, would witness a $500 million increase above 2016 enacted levels.
U.S Department of Agriculture: 21 percent cut
2017: $22.6 billion
2018: $17.9 billion
The agricultural department's programs for wastewater management and food aid for the impoverished living in foreign countries hits the chopping block in the proposed budget. The Water and Wastewater loan and grant program — $500 million — provides funds for water infrastructure in rural communities. The White House budget stated these services can be replaced by private sector financing or through EPA support. The McGovern-Dole International Food for Education, which claimed to have fed 3 million children and their families overseas ..., loses its $200 million support. Wildfire preparedness would receive full support to the tune of $2.4 billion, but the National Forest System would lose an unspecified amount. Food stamps would not be cut, though the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) would see a $200 million reduction.
Department of Energy: 6 percent cut
2017: $29.7 billion
2018: $28.0 billion
The Department of Energy's Office of Science loses $900 million under the proposed budget for projects directed toward innovations in energy efficiency and infrastructure. For instance, the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing Program, which has provided support to companies like Tesla, gets axed. The office backs research at 300 universities and 10 national labs. The Yucca Mountain nuclear waste facility would receive $120 million.
NASA: 1 percent cut
2017: $19.2 billion
2018: $19.1 billion
While a 1 percent cut represents the smallest slash among the field of science agencies, NASA would shutters its $115 million Office of Education. So long to space camp and a long list of classroom projects geared toward engaging students in science, technology, engineering and math. NASA's Earth Science branch faces a $102 million reduction, with most cuts targeting climate change research. Robotic satellite refueling missions lose $88 million, but the budgets for deep space exploration, including for the the Orion crew vehicle and Space Launch System, remain well-funded.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: 1 percent cut
2017: $5.8 billion
2018: $5.6 billion
NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, sees a relatively small reduction of $250 million for grants and programs that target coastal and marine management, research and education. The budget maintains funding for national weather surveillance, including for polar and environmental satellites already in the process of construction. But the proposal appears to cut funds for two Polar Follow On satellites, dues to launch in 2024 and 2026.
Chemical Safety Board: 100 percent cut
2017: $12.4 million
2018: $0
The Chemical Safety Board is nation's independent overseer for chemical spills. It's charged with investigating chemical spills and accidents at fixed industrial facilities. The board doesn't hand out penalties, but makes recommendations to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), industry organizations and labor groups. The budget document does not expand on why the White House is seeking the cuts.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Unclear
The budget listed no specifics for the CDC, except for $500 million to help the public health agency respond to state emergencies like last year's Zika outbreak in Florida.
Editor's note: This story has been updated to add the number of people supported by the NIH and to include the potential cuts to the Chemical Safety Board.
Trump and his cadre seem to be anti science. Betsy DeVos (Secretary of Education) appears to promote religious indroctonation under the guise of education.

We were scheduled to meet our friend, Luis at a quarter to nine in the evening to have some drinks before dinner.
He had asked us to meet him at Bodega La Ardosa in Calle de Colón 13 supposedly one of the best Tapas Bars in Madrid.
To cut a long story short – I do not care how famous and how popular this place is. I did not like it. It was overcrowded and the noise in there was at a painful level; almost impossible to have a conversation without having to yell at each other – literally.
In less popular bars they serve some aceitunas or other Tapas (even though they sell them), en La Ardosa you get the plain drink and nothing with it. (Maybe I am just a cheap German)
Manfred had a vermut de griffo, M. and Luis beer – B. and I decided on wine, poor choice. My white wine was vinegar and B.'s red was luke warm.
My ears were still ringing when we finally left the place, hopefully Bosco de Lobos, the restaurant Luis had booked a table would offer consolation. Luis had never been here before but had followed recommendations of some of his colleagues. According to reviews the Bosco is "Madrid's most instagrammable location with gorgeous decor…" and apparently a chain of francises in Madrid, Barcelona and Mexico City.
The decor was instagrammable all right… but as a restaurant owner I think you have to make a choice: Do you want to look pretty or do you want to stun your guests with a gastronomical concept and the food that goes with it? While we appreciated the decor – looking at the menue we were at loss as to find the concept. The menue looked like a hodgepodge of traditional Italian cooking (Pizza and Foccachia) and experimental cooking "Risotto con Plancton" and American casual dining (Hamburger)…
The starters were great, the main courses with the exception of Manfred's hake mediocre at best.
The service staff was cute, young and trendy with a hint of professional. Our waiter reminded us of young Freddy Mercury – only that this had no positive effect on the food.
We ordered:
- Foccachia – real great, tasty and crisp
- Fried pieces of artichoke – delicious
- Zucchini rolls with cream cheese – nice but not spectacular
Main courses:
- Risotto de plancton – Cooked all right but not really tasty. There was neither a WOW nor a Yum.
- Burger with Pesto, dried tomatos, sweet mustard and french fries – The meat was tasty and cooked well. The burger roll was so dry that it crumbled apart when you tried to cut it.
- Pizza (1 Capriciosa and 1 with mushrooms) – both Pizzas were floppy
- Merluza (hake) with green asparagus and sugar pees – according to Manfred quite enjoyable
- 1 bottle of Red wine from the Bierzo region – absolutely great
- 1 glas of Rosé from Navarra – wonderful wine
We passed on the deserts

In an ironic twist of fate, a Lake Forest, California councilman who changed the city's sign code so harsher penalties would apply to anyone tampering with or removing campaign signs without permission has been charged with committing the very same crime.
According to police, last Oct. 9 Adam Nick, the mayor pro tem for Lake Forest, parked a car illegally at 2 a.m. and told an accomplice to remove a campaign sign for Councilman Scott Voigts, who was running for mayor.
Unbeknownst to Nick, an Orange County Sheriff's deputy allegedly witnessed the incident, according to the Los Angeles Times. The Orange County district attorney's Office stated that police searched Nick's car and found 10 other campaign signs belonging to Voights in the back seat.
Nick was serving his first term on the city's council. Although he was not running for reelection at the time of the incident, he was running to represent California's 46th congressional district, according to the Orange County Register.
Voigts was running for a second term on the council when Nick allegedly stole the signs; he was re-elected in November.

Protesters Torch Uncle Sam After Red Mosque Thrashing
There were dueling protests today in Pakistan following the thrasing on the Red Mosque.
The radical Islamists were outraged over the government crackdown on the militant mosque and madrassa that was harboring terrorists, kidnapping citizens, shooting soldiers, and threatening the nation with Sharia Law.
They burnt effigies of Musharraf and Uncle Sam to show their displeasure:

And, there were the other protests…
There were also protests in support of the Musharraf government.
Supporters of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf chant slogans as they show their support for government's action against a radical mosque in Hyderabad, 160 km (100 miles) from Karachi July 13, 2007. A leader of an alliance of Pakistani religious parties condemned on Friday an army assault on a radical mosque, which he described as the darkest chapter in the country's history, and called for protests.

Mahatma kin cuts ?Gandhigiri?
USHA GOKANI, granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi, has objected to the use of the word ?Gandhigiri? in the Bollywood blockbuster ?Lage Raho Munna Bhai?, saying Bapu too would not have approved of the language.india Updated: Sep 15, 2006 14:13 IST
USHA GOKANI, granddaughter of Mahatma Gandhi, has objected to the use of the word 'Gandhigiri' in the Bollywood blockbuster 'Lage Raho Munna Bhai', saying Bapu too would not have approved of the language.
"I have heard about it, though I have not seen the film," she said. "Bapuji was so particular about language. I am sure this word – Gandhigiri – he would not have approved of at all."
Usha, who was here to participate in a function organised by Shri Madhya Bharat Hindi Sahitya Samiti, told Hindustan Times on Thursday that her earliest memories of the Father of Nation were as an eight-year-old girl growing up in different ashrams of the Mahatma. Usha, herself a grandparent, recalls with joy the time she spent with Bapuji and things she could learn from the great leader, whom she called 'dadaji'.
"I remember spending more time with Ba than Bapuji. But whenever he was around, I used to look forward to spending more time with him," she says.
"He was very particular about hygiene. He used to personally check if our nails were cut properly or not. He also insisted on discipline and punctuality," said Usha, the eldest daughter of Ramdas, Gandhiji's third son. "He tried to inculcate so many qualities in us. We did learn a lot from Bapuji, but then, to be frank, I don't know if we have been able to implement these."
The winner of the 'Ba Puraskar', given by Aga Khan Palace (Pune), claims that Indian values deat to the Mahatma were firmly etched in her. She heads the Mani Bhavan (in Mumbai) and is also a trustee of the Kasturba Gandhi National Memorial Trust, an organisation dedicated to the uplift of women.
Ruing the fact that the Gandhian values were attracting less and less youngsters over the years, she says, "His thoughts and value system are still relevant today. But then, I do not blame the youngsters for it."
"I would say, it is our generation which did not pass on the values to the youngsters. The youth today are a little disoriented. We have to give them proper direction," was the candid words of the winner of the Woman of the Year Award (Mumbai).
She is optimistic that the young generation would realise the importance of what Bapu said. "Deeds speak more than words and if I am not going to practise what I say, I don't have the right to preach anything to anyone," she said.
Referring to the encashing of `Gandhi's' name by the Nehru family, she says, "there are many things objectionable today, many things that Bapuji would not have approved. But then, unfortunately, the question is who will throw the first stone?" (Referring to the Biblical story of Jesus asking the crowd to throw the stone on a woman only if that person has a clean character)

She has wounds over the sacrum, both greater trochanters, and the inferior angles of the scapulae. It is not yet known whether infection is present in any of the wounds. Your physical therapy intervention will include cleaning the wounds and applying new dressings at bedside. What will you need to consider about cleanliness before entering the room, while working with Marianna, and upon leaving the room? ++ Cleanliness ++ What Is Clean? ++ In the health-care context, cleanliness is the attempt to prevent the spread of infection through good hand hygiene, good personal hygiene, and good cleaning and handling techniques to minimize contamination. "Clean" refers to a state of minimized infectious organisms, and "soiled" is used to indicate the presence of pathogens or simply possible exposure to pathogens. Whether a surface or area is "dirty" therefore cannot be judged by visual inspection alone (see Box 4-1). ++ Box 4-1 Pathogen A pathogen is an organism that is able to cause disease. The term originated in the late 1800s, formed from pathos (disease) and gen (producing). Pathogens are classified according to the nature of the organism. Keep in mind, however, that there may be many forms of an organism that are not pathogenic. For example, Staphylococcus aureus bacteria can be highly infectious, but most bacteria we encounter in everyday life are not pathogenic. ++ The level of cleanliness necessary in any given situation is determined by the harmfulness of the pathogen and the vulnerability of the person. Because patients bring pathogens into health-care settings and have increased susceptibility to infection with pathogens while they are there, standards of cleanliness are higher in health-care settings than in most other environments. "Clean technique" refers to efforts to reduce the number of infectious organisms in the clinical setting. "Sterile technique" is a specialized process designed to eliminate pathogens from medical equipment, surfaces, and environments. Sterile technique is most commonly used in operating theaters. ++ Standardized infection control practices known as "Standard Precautions" are required when working with all clients and patients in any health-care setting, including the patient's home. Patients known to be at risk for the presence of pathogens may require additional procedures, "Transmission-Based Precautions," based on the manner in which the pathogen is transmitted. These infection control practices are designed to protect the patient, the clinician, and all other members of the health-care community. ++ Health-Care–Associated Infections ++ Patients are often already infected with pathogens when they enter a health-care facility, but it is possible for patients to become exposed to additional pathogens during the course of their stay. ++ Infections acquired in a hospital are called nosocomial infections. Health-care–associated infection (HAI) refers to infections acquired in any health-care setting.1 The risk of infection ...

About Artist: Art Werger was born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, on December 4, 1955. He received his BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in printmaking in 1978 and his MFA from the University of Wisconsin in 1982. He was Chairman, Fine Arts Division and Professor of Art at Wesleyan College, Macon, Georgia from 1982-2000. He is currently Director of Foundations, Professor of Printmaking, at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio.
Werger is a master printmaker working in etching, mezzotint and with some of his images printed in multi-plate color. His compositions are complex and full of intricate detail that create a dream like detachment from the image. His prints really must be seen first hand to appreciate the feelings and emotions that his images evoke. Viewing the images on line, they often loose this important quality.
