5 messaging challenges for ACA
The Obama administration and its health-law allies are gearing up this summer to slice through three years of confusion and opposition to Obamacare.
They've got their work cut out for them.
Story Continued Below
Obamacare won't have a shot at success unless millions of people sign up for insurance — the healthy as well as the sick. For that to happen, the White House and its allies will need to make the case that coverage is worth it for the estimated 50 million people who haven't been able to afford or access insurance. Supporters are planning to spend tens of millions of dollars to persuade people to get covered under new health insurance options and explain how to sign up.
( PHOTOS: 10 alarmist quotes on health law ruling)
Organizing for Action, spun off from President Barack Obama's campaign operation, went up with a seven-figure TV ad buy in June, touting the new benefits and promising to offer "the truth" about the law. Enroll America, a nonprofit group with ties to the White House, wants to leverage the grass roots across the country and engage big-name celebrities for the cause.
Here are five of the messaging challenges they face:
Spread the word about the subsidy — without inflating expectations.
Just about everyone knows there's an individual mandate in the health law — people must have insurance starting in 2014. But another part of the message didn't get through: Millions of Americans, including some in the middle class, will get help to pay for that coverage. And low-income people won't have to pay premiums if they qualify for expanded Medicaid.
( PHOTOS: The eight GOP governors who said yes to Medicaid expansion)
It's not entirely clear why the White House hasn't hit that point harder: One reason may be that it doesn't want to raise expectations and then crush them. Not everyone gets a subsidy. And subsidy doesn't mean "free " — it's a sliding scale depending on income, location and family size. But some assistance is available up to four times the federal poverty level, or about $93,000 for a family of four.
"It's very hard to explain the subsidies … so you end up avoiding it," said Bob Blendon, an expert on health and public opinion at the Harvard School of Public Health. And old hands at health care remember what happened 25 years ago when Congress passed a law to help people with "catastrophic" Medicare expenses — and then had to repeal it when the overly high expectations collided with the cost-benefit realities.
Ethan Rome, executive director of Health Care for America Now, which strongly backs the law, predicts a massive multi-front education campaign that will start breaking through to people. And it will include a "retail" approach, particularly once enrollment opens Oct. 1.
"When you are talking to potential enrollees about the price of the insurance the best conversation you can possibly have is talking to them about their specific situation," Rome said. Once people begin to get the subsidies and the coverage, he predicted positive word of mouth will encourage more people to sign up.

Reach the hard-to-reach population.
Lots of the people eligible for various government assistance programs don't actually reach out for them, and that may prove true of the health law, too. A recent Gallup poll found the uninsured knew less about the law than the insured, including the individual mandate.
Many of those who could get Medicaid or subsidized coverage are low-income, and not necessarily English-speaking. They may not see slick ads on English-language TV, and experience shows they may need a lot more than a brochure and a URL to tap into the benefits. They need different messaging and outreach and a lot more hands-on assistance, said Stan Dorn, a Medicaid expert at the Urban Institute.
That's a conundrum. People can't be walked through enrollment before it starts in October. But the longer the administration waits to reach this population, the less time they'll have to break through, said Bruce Siegel, head of America's Essential Hospitals, whose members treat low-income populations. "Waiting for fall is too late," he said. Outreach has to be now and it has to target a whole lot of different audiences, from the Spanish-language tweet to a message that can work in a Haitian hair salon in Brooklyn.
Not only that, but the Supreme Court made the law even more confusing for the poor by deciding Medicaid expansion is optional for states. In some states, poor people will get benefits from expanded Medicaid — and in others they'll get nothing. Even more confounding — the below-the-poverty line Medicaid population can't tap into the subsidies in the health insurance exchanges, but people who are just few rungs up the income ladder can get that financial help.
"That message is going to be complicated," HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said last week. "If the governor and legislature choose not to expand Medicaid, there will be a huge gap between what [low-income people] can afford and what is available."
( QUIZ: Do you know Kathleen Sebelius?)
The "safety net" hospitals and community clinics will try to fill in the considerable awareness gaps when low-income and uninsured patients come in, said Siegel. But how well they do will depend partly on what state they are in, and how much of a buy-in state governments give to Obamacare.

Under the direction of Director James Shea, the Department of Public Safety comprises the Police Department, the Fire Department, the Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (O.E.M.), Parking Enforcement, and Fire Prevention. Public Safety continues to be a top priority for the Fulop Administration and Director Shea. The hiring of over 430 police officers since 2013 has helped lift the city's department from historic lows, to nearly 975 officers; significantly boosting police presence in some of the most crime-ridden areas. As one of the state's largest cities, public safety is paramount.
Another crucial tool in combating crime is community residents. From anonymous tips to emergency response volunteers, we also need your help to keep Jersey City a safe place to live, work and play.
Recognizing the importance of community engagement to combat crime and enhance public safety, Mayor Fulop established the Citizens Advisory Review Board. The board meets the first Tuesday of every month to review police data and public safety issues, in turn making programmatic, legislative and training recommendations where opportunities for improvement are found.

No-Sweat Summer Hair
J. Ryan Roberts
Tousled Waves
Tired of playing it straight? "Rumpled, bed-head spirals look sultry for summer," says Allen Ruiz, owner of the Jackson Ruiz Salon in Austin, Texas. Modernize your curls by contrasting them with a sharp center part. Simply divide damp strands down the middle a few inches toward your crown, then comb the rest straight back to create flattering volume.
Peter Ardito
Tousled Waves How-To: Step 1
Enhance texture. To make clean, damp strands look piecey, massage a dollop of sculpting mousse — we like lightweight Dove Curl & Sculpt Defining Mousse ($2.98, drugstores) — from roots to tips.
Peter Ardito
Tousled Waves How-To: Step 2
Do the twist. Divide your hair into five to seven sections and braid each one. Twist each braid into a small bun, secure it with an elastic and spray the roots with a volumizer, such as John Frieda Luxurious Volume Lavish Lift Root Booster ($6.50, drugstores).
Peter Ardito
Tousled Waves How-To: Step 3
Mess things up. After about 10 minutes, unfurl the buns and — voila! — ruffled, sexy spirals. Finger comb your ends with a pea-size dab of texturizer, like Redken Matte Sponge Rugged Texturizer ($17, redken.com).
J. Ryan Roberts
An Undone Bun
Time to let loose! "A windswept chignon keeps your neck and back cool but still looks dressy enough for evening," says Donna Fumoso, a stylist in New York City who created the looks on these pages without using a single hot tool. The key to keeping this bun chic: location, location, location. Placed on the nape of your neck, it's sophisticated.
Peter Ardito
An Undone Bun How-To: Step 1
Get grip. Create hold by running a styling lotion, like Tresemme Fresh Start No-Frizz Creme ($4.99, drugstores), through damp hair from roots to ends. Then let your strands air-dry for about 10 minutes, or overnight if you want to save time.
Peter Ardito
An Undone Bun How-To: Step 2
Sweep it up. When your hair is dry or just slightly damp, flip your head upside down and spritz a texturizing spray, such as Tigi Love, Peace & the Planet Totally Beachin' Body & Waves Styling Mist ($16.95, tigihaircare.com), scrunching the product in with your fingers. Next, twist your hair into a bun that rests right above your shoulders. To secure it, tuck bobby pins into the base.
Peter Ardito
An Undone Bun How-To: Step 3
Lock in height. Pull up the top front pieces to loosen them and mist with a hair spray — try Aveda Control Force Firm Hold Hair Spray ($26, aveda.com) — for volume.
J. Ryan Roberts
Sexy Side Braid
Instead of a ponytail (which screams "Bad-hair day!"), try a playful side braid as your new go-to style to keep your hair off your face. "It's the perfect way to control overgrown bangs or layers that won't stay put," Fumoso says. Strands are harder to work with when they're squeaky clean, so try this look on days you skip the shampoo. And don't stress if you have a couple of flyaways: The messier, the better!
Peter Ardito
Sexy Side Braid How-To: Step 1
Smooth it over. Prep hair by applying a frizz-taming cream, such as Pantene Pro-V Medium-Thick Hair Style Straighten & Smooth Creme ($5.99, drugstores), to the bottom half of damp hair.
Peter Ardito
Sexy Side Braid How-To: Step 2
Braid away. Starting in the middle of the back of your head, braid strands to one side, keeping the plait as close to your head as you can (otherwise it won't lie flat). Secure with a small elastic. Give hair glossiness by blasting it with a shine spray, like Salon by Sally Hershberger Smooth Fix ($24, hsn.com).
Peter Ardito
Sexy Side Braid How-To: Step 3
Make it last. To create lift, coax up the front layers with a comb. Mist hair spray, like Garnier Fructis Style Full Control Anti-Humidity Hairspray ($4.11, drugstores), all over.

Lyrics:First verseMaryland, Maryland, you've made chicken famous ev'rywhere. Maryland, Maryland, I'm not kickin' but I must declare, You've got other chickens too, Baby Dolls with eyes of blue, They're the sweetest kind Here's what I've got in mind:ChorusThere's a lot of blue-eyed Marys down in Maryland, I'll have you understand, there is no sweeter brand, If you want a blue eyed bride just take a ride to Maryland. They've got just what you need, yes, indeed, Ev'ryone comes guaranteed; If you want the ""best what am,"" in a wedding gown, Be some ""Mary's little lamb,"" follow her around; If you'll marry one you'll settle down in Fairyland, And raise a lot o' little Mary's down in Maryland.Second verseMaryland, Maryland, It's no wonder they've got such blue eyes, Maryland, Maryland, they're raised under Heaven's bluest skies, Sunbeams find a resting place, In each Mary's smiling face, Ev'ryone's a prize I'm here to put you wise:(Chorus)

You have to trust in something: your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. Because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well worn path.

Grief weighs heavily this holiday season in the hearts of virtually every citizen of America in the wake of the Newtown school shooting earlier this month.
The challenge is to express love and concern about these things without allowing hyped emotions, rhetorical window-dressing, or futile "quick fixes" to rule the day. Political jockeying to prove who is most outraged by violence must not overwhelm facts, logic, and experience.
One superficial but popular reaction to school shootings is summarized this way: "Guns are bad; more laws are good." The facts are more complicated.
Guns are not bad when they are not misused, not accessible to people who misuse them, and used harmlessly in sport or recreation; they are good when they thwart crime.
Laws are not good when they injure the rights, property, or lives of the innocent; when they are ineffective or unenforceable; or when they act as cheap political substitutes for a problem's real cure.
On the books nationwide are tens of thousands of gun-control laws that regulate everything from who can own guns and how they can be bought to where a person can possess or use them.
"The biggest problem with gun-control laws," writes John R. Lott, "is that those who are intent on harming others, and especially those who plan to commit suicide, are the least likely to obey them."
This raises a question that those who push for more gun-control laws need to answer but rarely try: Can we realistically expect criminal suspects who often break many laws to somehow obey another gun law?
Does the mere prevalence of guns in American society contribute to gun violence? If statistics matter, the answer is no. We have the highest rate of gun ownership per capita in the world, and something in the neighborhood of 270 million private-owned firearms.
What percentage of them were involved in intentional or accidental deaths in the most recent year for which data are available? A tiny fraction of one percent.
While the misuse of firearms generates publicity, the proper use of them for self-defense rarely does.
Americans use firearms for protection more than 2 million times each year, which translates into a defensive use of a gun every 13 seconds. The National Self-Defense Survey has demonstrated that this actually means that a life is saved by a privately held gun about once every two minutes, or less.
The strategies that offer the best hope of curtailing crime and the misuse of guns involve swift and strong punishment of violent offenders and more focus on mental health issues, including stronger laws for the institutionalization of the violence-prone mentally ill.
It may seem strange to some advocates of more gun-control laws that going after the guilty (or those who exhibit destructive behaviors) offers more promise than going after the innocent, but that's what the facts show.
A dose of better, more responsible parenting would help fix the problem too.
Lawrence W. Reed, a resident of Newnan, is president of the Foundation for Economic Education in Irvington, New York and Atlanta.

The Vinci Research and Development department has been working for the past two years to bring you the newest Vinci Pro glove series, the Optimus series.

This 11.5 inch glove is great for any infielder looking to up their game in style and the sophisticated look is just the beginning! With an I-Web style of web and an open back this could just be your next Vinci glove! The pocket design is just right for quick catch and release of the ball during play.
Outfielder's will enjoy playing ball with the new Vinci Optimus BM Baseball Glove. Vinci's signature deep pocket design makes catching fly balls a cinch and the longer length of this glove helps extend player reach and range. This 13 inch Vinci features a closed back design and dual H-Post web style and it comes in walnut with a black mesh back.
Vinci's new 11.5 inch Optimus BV will make any pitcher the center of attention with its walnut leather, open back, black lace, and solid web design.
Made for both Infield and Pitcher positions, the Vinci Optimus JC is an all-leather glove with open back and Net-T web in an 11.5 inch size.
These four gloves being made available on Monday will be carried stock in the sizes noted above, but can be customized in sizes up to 13.5 inches. Vinci will also allow color customization on gloves in this series with multiple color options for the lace and mesh. Mesh colors available include navy blue, gray and black. The name personalization feature is also available for an additional charge. Call Vinci Pro at 1.888.529.6864 for details on glove customization.
Initially, gloves in the new Vinci Pro Optimus Series will be available at lower, special introductory pricing. Not only that, but each glove also comes with a FREE Vinci glove bag and Vinci glove conditioner.

I kinda forgot everything from the book. I was thinking "Oh hell, who's going to save her? Dontos? The Hound? Where the fuck's the Hound!?"Great, horrifying scene. Joffrey being bitch-slapped was just the icing on the cake.I hope we see more of the kinda-nice-guy Hound from the books. I'm expecting him to talk to Sansa once more before his drunken advance amidst the Battle of the Blackwater. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her career is reasonably young, having her first innovation in 2012 via Bits and Parts.

did Dove Cameron ever get plastic surgery as well as Nose Surgery
Nose surgery are among the most prominent surgical enhancements among stars. Nonetheless, it is additionally one of the most dangerous. A severely done nose surgery will certainly wind up appearing like an artificial peg in the centre of the face. Just consider Michael Jackson. Most importantly, nose surgery require to get it right the very first time. Any alteration rhinoplasty on a messed up nose surgery is nearly specific not to be effective for did Dove Cameron ever get plastic surgery.
Plastic Surgery did Dove Cameron ever get plastic surgery prior to and after
Americans are obsessed with their noses. Many rhinoplasty people want to have a sharper and smaller sized nose. Some intend to remove their nose bumps along their nose bridge. There are additionally some who choose to have smaller sized nostrils. It is with such wish that celebrities tweeze up the courage to go under the knife. The healing from a nose job can take some time. However to many celebrities, it is well worth the delay.
For did Dove Cameron ever get plastic surgery, considering the previously and also after images, you see a considerable various in her nose shape. Some claim that the modification is due to the age of puberty as she is still fairly young. While we do not dismiss the opportunity of puberty transforming her nose shape, it is difficult to fathom that her nose has actually transformed that much throughout the years.
Her nose form has gone from a thicker nose bridge as well as a spheric tip, to an extra defined nose with an extending nose tip. Just looking at her current photos, her nose pointer looks really abnormal. There is a droop in her nose that is not noticeable in her more youthful pictures. There is a high chance that she has actually gone through nose job to develop her nose.
In situation any kind of youngster is reading this, nose jobs are best done after age 18 years of ages. This is when the nose form is resolved and also modifications can be made. Any kind of rhinoplasty done before 18 years old have a tendency to need additional modifications later on. This is since the nose shape does change as you grow up.

Lip fillers are also very popular with stars. Thick and also complete lips signify sexiness. Hence there is an upsurge of Americans going for lip enhancement procedures to make their lips fuller as well as much more delicious. For did Dove Cameron ever get plastic surgery, her lips have gone from thin to pouty, recommending the possible use of lip fillers. Nonetheless, lip fillers need to be renewed every six to 9 months, else the lips can fall back into their normal form. Dove Cameron has never ever openly admitted to the use of lip fillers however you can gather from the photos if she has actually done so.
In todays Hollywood, it is depressing to see numerous young celebrities choosing to go through plastic surgery unnecessarily. It is the seriousness to look much better than others that drive such young stars to plastic surgery. It is not a healthy and balanced pattern and obviously not setting a fine example to their followers. Twenty years ago, cosmetic surgery was made use of to quit the results of aging. However today, it is merely a tool to change facial functions. Nevertheless, we hope that Dove Cameron will not get addicted to cosmetic surgery eventually and also continue to give us with entertainment on the tv or radio. What do you think of Dove Cameron cosmetic surgery?

- Dry, allow extra time to open. Cherry notes without sweetness. Good to age.
- Dark core, with slight pink at the rim. Wonderful nose, sharp scents of blackberry, violet, cigar box, licorice, caramelized cherry, hint of barnyard and crushed stone. Very floral, nice. Close to full bodied, long legs. Creamy, yet tight, tobacco, red cherry, but with a bit of heat and bitterness near the end. Tannins seem to be less than expected of a 2006, round and quite fine, but dry. At a good place right now. With good level of aromas and complexity.
- Light ruby red, medium bodied. Classic nose of cigar box, leather, dried fruit, licorice. Taste of cherry, tobacco leaf, earthy forest floor, anise. Finish of plum, herb and tobacco. Short to medium finish.
- Complete disappointment! Salad dressing. It's a real shame.

Pownce: Social Networking Meets File Transfer
We've taken a look at several desktop file transfer apps that let you transfer large files between securely, without the use of FTP or an instant messaging client. Services like Pando and Tubes promise to bring file transfer to the masses, using peer-to-peer clients that don't hog system resources and won't monopolize your bandwidth, while providing you a fast, reliable, and private way to transfer large files between friends, family, and small groups.
Kevin Rose, former TechTV personality, and the man behind Digg, has taken the veil off of his most recent project, a social downloading and file transfer service called Pownce. Pownce is currently in private beta, but that hasn't stopped folks from suggesting that the app will completely revolutionize every Web service that it might possibly touch, from instant messaging to file transfer.
Pownce looks like it will compete in the same arena with services like Tubes and Pando when it comes to transferring files between friends. It sports a slim, attractive interface built using Adobe's AIR, which users will have to download. The service looks like it's a combination of quick blogging and IM (you can post messages for and chat with the people on your contact list), file transfer (you can open connections with friends), and social networking (you can share events and links with friends). For example, you could use the service to let everyone know about an impromptu bar meet, and then let the bar know how many people will be coming. The trouble with that theory though is that it implies some sort of calendaring function built-in to Pownce, which I expect to be included. Perhaps the service will hook into Google Calendar or something similar, but the company has yet to announce any such partnership.
I can see Pownce succeeding as an instant messaging-file transfer hybrid application, a way to post messages and chat with your friends and send them large files quickly when the need arises. This take solves the "yet another IM network" problem and the "we already have IM that does file transfer" issue. Other IM clients open direct computer-to-computer connections for file transfer, but if Pownce uses p2p, it might make the service faster, and allowing you to post something--say, your band's new song or your recently recorded DJ mix--and make it available for download to everyone on your contact list.
It looks like Pownce has a privacy focus as well. Only people on your contact list can see files, messages, events, and other information that you've shared, unless you expressly make it public. How you go about finding new people or adding them to your contacts remains to be seen, but the fact that your content is limited to only the people you choose, makes Pownce more attractive. At the same time, people might be turned off by the fact that Pownce runs text ads between your messages and posted events. For a fee, you'll be able to upgrade to a "pro" account without adds and with the added ability to transfer and post larger files, add more themes, and other perks that haven't been determined yet.
Another interesting aspect of the service is that all of the notes and events saved in the Pownce client are also accessible on the Pownce Website. Since you can use either the Website, the client or both, Pownce users don't have to be tethered to a desktop app for their file transfers, unlike services like Pando or Tubes, and they can do all of their social networking on the Web. Even so, it's unclear whether Pownce is a service looking for a market to fill, or whether it really does fill a need that people didn't know they had. Time, and hopefully a full release, will tell whether people will adopt the service for their social networking and file transfer needs.

How Bill Clinton does it
The crowd was roaring, TV commentators were gushing, and Barack Obama himself thanked Bill Clinton for his nominating speech with a big hug as he left the stage here Wednesday night.
Well might Obama be grateful: In 48 minutes, the 42nd president had stated the case for the 44th president's reelection in language that was crisper and more compelling than the case Obama so far has made for himself.
Story Continued Below
( Also on POLITICO: Full coverage of the DNC)
Some of the effective elements of Clinton's address were impossible to miss — his ease on stage, the sheer theatricality of the performance. But Clinton scored in Charlotte for reasons that go beyond superficial style and reflect the essence of the Clinton political brand.
The speech was a vivid illustration of why Clinton survived so many disasters in office, and, even 12 years out of power, remains more effective than most politicians of the succeeding generation.
Here are several classic Clinton techniques on display in Charlotte — political lessons to be borrowed by Obama, Mitt Romney, or any politician with national aspirations.
Policy matters — more than biography
People have long remarked that Clinton's gift is for human connection — for his supposed "feel-your-pain" empathy.
( Also on POLITICO: Bill Clinton's full DNC speech)
Less understood is that Clinton does not project empathy primarily by telling stories about his scrappy upbringing or other travails, the way Ann Romney related how she and her future-millionaire husband scrimped and saved in their newlywed years by eating pasta and canned tuna, or the way Michelle Obama talked about young Obama courting her in a rusty used car.
Clinton on Wednesday avoided this kind of Oprah-style mood music in favor a more potent skill — his ability to convey the concrete human dimensions of public policy.
One example was when he cited GOP proposals to turn Medicaid over to states as a block grant, a subject which has drawn less attention in this year's political debate than Medicare. While many middle-income voters think of Medicaid as something that goes mainly to poor people, Clinton emphasized how many elderly people in nursing homes are supported by the program. He also cited the travails of families with children suffering from Down syndrome or autism, setbacks that could leave even affluent families reeling. "I don't know," Clinton said, "what those families are going to do."
( PHOTOS: Scenes from the DNC)
Repeatedly, Clinton cited a barrage of facts and figures, woven with historical context, sometimes in a highly argumentative way. He boasted that in the past 52 years, Democratic administrations have created 44 million jobs, compared with 24 million under Republicans.
The point is not that Clinton's every factual assertion is entirely fair in context. Like all politicians, Clinton is selective in which facts he chooses to highlight.
But his emphasis on policy has the effect — and in large measure the reality — of seeming to treat voters as adults who must be reached by reason, rather than Hallmark-card sentimentality.
"He made the case tonight both on values and intellectually," Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon (D) told POLITICO. "Both of those are important. When you can connect and make the solid, fact-based arguments he made tonight you can begin the fall campaign in earnest."

Published at 6:05 a.m. ET: A winter storm heading for the Northeast could bring major snowfall to upstate New York and New England on Friday and into the weekend – but forecasts are divided on its potential impact.
A clipper from the north is expected to combine with a rainy storm moving through the South to create a snowstorm for many parts of the region late Friday and Saturday, according to Weather Channel meteorologist Kevin Roth.
However, there is still some uncertainty on exactly where and when the two systems combine, he said.
For cities such as Boston, the changing forecast could mean the difference between an icy nuisance and a major winter storm that would dump up to 2 feet of snow, bringing widespread disruption.
"The European model, which is the generally the best model we have, has continued to insist there is going to be this really big storm but the other models are not bullish on it at all," the Weather Channel's Carl Parker said. "The difference is -- will it be a blockbuster for places like Boston?"
The last time Boston had one foot of snow was in January 2011.
Most of the I-95 corridor is already set for heavy rain on Friday.
Ice and snow changes our environment, as winter engulfs our world.
Under the European model, the whole region would see significant snow but up to 2 feet would be dumped on Massachusetts – including Boston – and southern Maine overnight Friday.
That level of snow is "potentially life-threatening," the Weather Channel's Chris Warren warned.
However, other U.S. models show the two systems combining further to the east, meaning there would still be heavy snow in northern New England but cities such as Boston could receive as little as 2 inches.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 16, No. 1 June 1989
PATTI A. MILLS, EDITOR Indiana State University
Craswell, Allen. Audit Qualifications in Australia 1950 to 1979 (New York and London: Garland Publishing, Inc., 1986, pp. 169, $22.00).
Reviewed by Roland L. Madison John Carroll University
The author has provided an interesting description of the nature and frequency of change in audit qualifications that have occurred in Australia over a period of thirty years. In the study, Craswell examined over 33,500 annual reports, of which 2,740 were identified as being "qualified." The study was based upon the following hypothesis:
Auditors respond to changes in their legal and profes-sional obligations and to the extent that those changes impinge upon reporting obligtaions, changes in the frequency of qualifications can be expected to result [p. 16].
In order to investigate this hypothesis, the author developed an extensive taxonomy for audit qualificationis. Craswell clas-sified the changes in audit qualifications as a reaction to changes in three distinct areas. These changes were: reactions to changes in the Companies Act (statutory qualifications), to changes in the auditor's legal obligations (judicial case influ-ence), and to changes in professional standards (technical pro-nouncements from the accounting profession). The author analyzed the frequency and type of qualifications separately for industrial and mining companies. As previously noted, the study covered a period of 30 years, during which time a number of significant changes occurred in technical accounting standards, the Companies Act, and legal decisions rendered. This gave the author an opportunity to measure the frequency of changes in audit qualifications and evaluate the perceived responsiveness of auditors to changes in their obligations.

Double-play ball has been a friend to Ziegler
D-backs right-hander has success getting batters to hit the ball on the ground
PHOENIX -- There really is no way to explain it, so Brad Ziegler does not even try.
The D-backs' right-hander led all relievers in getting hitters to ground into double plays last year with 21. It was the most since Doug Sisk recorded 21 double plays for the Orioles in 1988.
"In my mind it was really bizarre," Ziegler said. "Last year I'd come in with a runner on first, and I knew I had a great infield, so I wanted to use them. It just seemed like every time they hit a ground ball right at somebody. It was bizarre for sure. I'm glad everybody else realized how bizarre it was, because every time it happened they were like, 'That's weird.' I would just shrug my shoulders."
As advanced metrics have shown, pitchers have very little control over the ball after it leaves their hands. Ziegler's goal with his submarine delivery is to keep the ball down and induce hitters to hit the ball on the ground.
Yet even if he is successful at that, the ball could just as easily bounce through the hole as into a glove.
"That was one of the hardest things for me to get used to as a submariner," Ziegler said. "I was told, 'As long as you're getting soft contact on the ground, you're doing your job. If they hit it at somebody, great, and if not you have to accept it.' Sometimes the ball is going to find a hole and get into the outfield, and the key to that is how do you react to it. What do you do with the next pitch? Do you let it fluster you or do you keep executing your pitches?"
Ziegler didn't always throw with the submarine delivery.
Drafted by the Phillies in the 20th round of the 2003 First-Year Player Draft as a conventional starting pitcher, Ziegler was released by Philadelphia the following spring.
After making four starts in the independent Northern League, Ziegler was signed by the A's, and for the next three seasons was a starter with a regular delivery in their Minor League system.
After watching the success he had throwing sidearm occasionally to finish off a batter, the A's suggested that Ziegler adopt the submarine delivery for the 2007 season. They told him that it would help him to reach the big leagues sooner and stay longer.
The move paid off, and Ziegler found himself making his big league debut on May 31, 2008, against the Rangers in Texas.
"I'm on the same field with Josh Hamilton, Michael Young and Ian Kinsler, and I'm just like, 'What am I doing?'" Ziegler said. "This is ridiculous. I was just like, 'I don't belong here.'"
However, it didn't take long for him to prove that he did.
In fact, for the first 39 Major League innings, Ziegler was unscored upon, setting a record for the most scoreless innings to begin a career.
In a lot of ways, the 21 double-play grounders last year reminded Ziegler of his rookie streak.
"I wasn't doing anything different than I normally do, and all of a sudden there's just a streak, a chain of reaction of things that all fall in line," he said.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson has marveled at the way Ziegler consistently gets hitters to pound the ball into the ground, and while some relievers pitch better if they come in to start an inning, Ziegler is more valuable coming on when there are runners.
"With me, a guy on first base sometimes can be a weapon, because I'm still a pitch away from having two outs," Ziegler said.
Ziegler had a 2.49 ERA last season, and since coming over just prior to the Trade Deadline in 2011, he has 2.36 ERA for the D-backs.
But in the big leagues, past success does not guarantee it in the future, so Ziegler spent the offseason adding a changeup to his repertoire. Well, re-adding it is probably more accurate. He threw it in 2008 and '09, but lost the feel for it in '10.
"Hitters are constantly trying to make adjustments, and if I can throw a little wrinkle in there they have to honor that one more thing, it can make a difference," Ziegler said. "If they want to truly be prepared for the at-bat, it gives them one more thing to think about."

Convention center construction months behind
With the Town Lake Centre in Beaumont falling months behind its anticipated completion date, the city is working to find a middle ground with the contractor to ensure the more than $8 million project is done with quality in mind.
The project was awarded to contracting company CF Jordan, based out of Houston, back in April 2010, and was expected to take less than a year to complete, with construction beginning in June of that year. Construction included building a convention center, great lawn and roadway repairs.
"It's still under construction; still moving along," said Brenda Beadle, Beaumont capital projects manager. The problem, Beadle said, is that a number of issues have arisen during construction that were not anticipated.
"They have had several things that have caused them problems," she said, referring to CF Jordan falling behind. "At this point, there's no one thing. They have several issues – design issues, construction materials, things that had to be redone – various issues that they've had to address."
One such issue came up in November 2010 after the street was to be repaired. After construction began, the condition of the underlying pipelines was found to be beyond repair and had to be completely replaced.
Beadle also said some issues involved the construction not being built to the required specifications, so CF Jordan has had to go back and redo the work, or show city officials how it does come up to the specifications.
The project was supposed to be completed by June 25, according to Beadle.
"That was the last official notice as to when they would be complete. They gave us that; that's their date. Since that time, they've come back and said – October, November, December – there's been continuing issues. They have had problems. They have changed staff. But they've never formally come back with a response stating how many days are needed."
The Examiner spoke with CF Jordan's public relations' representative, who relayed a response from CF Jordan Vice President Jay Taylor.
In response to questions regarding being put on notice by the city, as well as a new anticipated completion date, the response read, "Some of the details of the original design have been modified or revised. Nevertheless, CF Jordan remains focused on solutions and building a quality event center for the city of Beaumont."
Beadle insists that's the main focus for city officials – having a quality facility for Southeast Texans to utilize and to attract conventions to the area. But with the project falling five months behind its original completion date, a date that was given to city officials by CF Jordan, the city is taking steps to protect itself, as well as work to see the project is finished.
"The contractor is past their completion date," said Beadle. "They have been placed on notice that they are past the due date, which the contract provided for damages."
The damages, which have not been assessed as of yet, come to the amount of $1,000 per day each day past the projected completion date.
"It just means that they gave us a date; they failed to meet that date, so we put them on notice. That way if there's any problems and they can't complete construction – it's to protect ourselves legally. It doesn't mean we've taken any money; it's just a requirement of the contract."
Beadle said the city plans to negotiate with the contractor with regards to assessing the damages, of which an outcome cannot yet be predicted."They are still hopefully going to wind it up in the next couple months," she said. Until negotiations take place and a timeline is given to Beaumont officials, they are taking precautionary steps with moving around bookings that have already been made for the event center.
"We had started booking for 2012," said Beadle. "We've notified (patrons) that they needed a back up plan, and we definitely moved people who had booked in January and February."
Though the outlook for completion is still in question, Beadle said the city's hope is to remain as amicable as possible with the contractor.
"They have had some issues, I will agree to that," she said. "But legally, they have not responded as they probably could have and maybe gotten more information to us. We do want a quality facility – that's of the utmost importance. We want it built to where there's no maintenance issues to tend to. We would rather catch issues now, rather than later. …We don't want to create any hard feelings (with the contractor) because we are trying to work with them."

Lettuce Recalled Due to E. Coli: Another Reason Senate Should Take Up Food Safety Bill
Statement of CSPI Food Safety Director Caroline Smith DeWaal
If members of the United States Senate need another reason to bring the food safety bill to the floor, may I recommend tomorrow's newspapers? Once again, lettuce contaminated with dangerous bacteria, in this case, E. coli O145, is implicated in a multistate outbreak that has hospitalized at least 12 people so far and may be responsible for three cases of Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS). New York State identified the pathogen during testing of unopened bagged lettuce from Ohio-based Freshway Foods, and the Food and Drug Administration issued a recall of products from the Freshway plant.
While consumers wait for Congress to pass food safety legislation, the plants that process and bag lettuce and the farms that grow it are operating under an industry honor system which clearly failed in this case. The FDA can't tell us when it last had inspectors in the plant where this lettuce was processed. Congress urgently needs to give the FDA the resources and authority from the farm forward, transforming it from a reactive agency to an agency focused on preventing contamination.
Freshway is conducting this recall on a voluntary basis, because – even with the presence of this serious food safety hazard – FDA lacks the ability to order a recall. Giving the FDA mandatory recall authority is another reason why the Senate should bring S. 510, the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, to the floor without further delay.
In the meantime, consumers should check FDA's web site for specific information about this recall. Reports from FDA indicate that the recalled lettuce was intended for food service establishments, including some supermarket salad bars, but not bagged lettuce for retail sale.

February 21, 2014 — A friendly dinner attended by six moral theologians in Rome gave Jesuit Father James Keenan the idea to establish a worldwide network for teachers of theological ethics.
Fr. Keenan, the Founders Professor in Theology at Boston College, helped establish the Catholic Theological Ethics in the World Church (CTEWC) project over 10 years ago. In 2003, a colleague from Boston College visited Fr. Keenan in Rome while he was a visiting professor at the Gregorian University. Fr. Keenan invited two moral theologians from the Gregorian and two from the Accademia Alfonsiana to join them for dinner.
"I had four theologians, each from a different country, each who had been teaching in Rome for 15 years. Everyone had a great time, and at the end of the meal I asked them how often they got together. They said, 'We've never met one another.' I took that as an indication that it would be good to get moral theologians to meet one another," Fr. Keenan explained.
From that idea, Fr. Keenan formed the CTEWC as a way for teachers of theological ethics from all over the world to meet and discuss their work. After much planning, the first-ever international conference of moral theologians was held in 2006 in Padua, Italy, with 400 people from 52 countries in attendance.
Planning for the first conference began in 2003, and it revealed to Fr. Keenan areas where the CTEWC could focus some of its efforts. For instance, Fr. Keenan raised $400,000 to fund the conference, including the attendance of 120 scholars from Africa, Asia and Latin America. He was surprised when the list of theologians from Africa contained only men. Fr. Keenan insisted on adding several women from Africa to the list and three attended.
"We realized three out of 40 was a mighty small proportion. At Padua, our committee promised the participants that we would find money to support seven women from Africa to do Ph.D.s in theological ethics," Fr. Keenan said. "We ended up with eight, so now we have eight women in moral theology who weren't there before."
When the CTEWC held its next conference in Trent, Italy, in 2010, it had grown to 600 people from 75 countries. The CTEWC provided some funding for 170 attendees from the developing world, as well as for 150 younger scholars from the industrialized world.
After the second conference, the organization decided to expand its focus. The new goals included providing support to moral theologians around the world; hosting regional conferences; publishing a book series; and producing a monthly newsletter and interactive website.
"Network is really our trademark," said Fr. Keenan. "We don't see ourselves as a member organization, we see ourselves as members of the network." He invites all readers to visit their website at www.catholicethics.com.
In addition to Fr. Keenan's work for the CTEWC and at Boston College, he is writing a book on university ethics and recently finished up a 20-year stint as editor of the book series "Moral Traditions" from Georgetown University Press.

Valentine's Day
My husband was recently deployed overseas. I wrote him this poem for Valentine's Day. This was our first Valentine's Day apart. Hope you like it.
Valentine's Day, a day for lovers
what's left here for me, but an empty bed
nothing to hold but covers.
I miss you each day you are gone,
but some how I make it through.
Today is different, the pain keeps lingering on
each second I'm without you.
I miss your smile, your kiss, your touch
and the sweet way you'd whisper I love you so much.
It's hard to hear others making plans,
a walk on the beach, dinner, or a quiet night alone,
oh what I'd give just to SEE my man.
But no gift could be more precious than
the love you have for me.
I know we'll be together again and how happy we will be.
So on this Valentine's Day, let's try
not to be sad,
but for the past days together and the many more to come,
be oh so glad.
Michele Burke

From the experiences of Abraham and Moses, to Jesus' life on earth, to the return of the Lord, Scripture reveals a tremendous amount to believers on how to live a life of devotion to God. Author Jennifer Devlin wants every Christian to know the magnitude of God's merciful plan for our salvation, and how every portion of the Bible fits together to reveal His plan for mankind. In Life Principles for Christ-Like Living, Jennifer offers a deeper understanding of key concepts and how they relate to the Christ-like life. Many of these key concepts are found in different "3:16" verses throughout the Bible, and a different "3:16" verse will be examined in each week's lesson. readers examining these key verses will learn to discover how events of Jesus'time on earth fit so clearly with who they are in Him, and they will discover that the acions, encouragements, and corrections from Jesus and His disciples have a great impact on how they are to live in Him. Study participants will recognize the dangers of complacency and will prayerfully find a passion for their Lord and His word that will extend far beyond this twelve-week- study.
Editorial Reviews
"If your heart desire is to become a devoted follower of Christ, then 'Following God' will serve as a compelling roadmap."

I have transformed the web application pages and generated some .class files that are altered according to my needs and now I want my apps to run from these new .class files.
How can I do this? Could anyone guide me?
This question might seem naive but, I have altered the code of some functions inside the class files but the JSP files are still the old ones so how should it work?
Is this correct that because the JSPs are finally turned into classes and when the app runs the class files are executed therefore the JSPs are not important?
Could anyone clarify please?

The teams are quite evenly matched and had met earlier in the season with UMM coming out on top 3-2. Wednesday's match was no different. Unity came out strong in the first set and won 25-21, UMM took the second set 25-21. Both teams fought in the third set with Unity coming out with the win 25-22. The forth set UMM picked up steam and won 25-14 forcing a fifth set. UMM took an early lead in the final set and never looked back winning 15-6. The win gives UMM a 6/3 over all record and a 3/1 conference record.
The team leaves Sept. 30th for a weekend full of games, in New Hampshire. Their next home match will be a tri match with UMPI and UMFK starting at noon on Saturday Oct. 22nd.

Obama's First 100 Days: Mixed Record on Foreign Policy
Cato foreign policy experts weigh in on President Obama's record in his first 100 days:
Christopher Preble, Director Foreign Policy Studies:
President Obama deserves credit for making a few modest changes in U.S. foreign and defense policy, and he has signaled a desire to make more fundamental shifts in the future. Some of these may prove helpful, while others are likely to encounter problems. In the end, however, so long as the president is unwilling to revisit some of the core assumptions that have guided U.S grand strategy for nearly two decades -- chief among these the conceit that the United States is the world's indispensable nation, and that we must take the lead in resolving all the world's problems -- then he will be unable to effect the broad changes that are truly needed.
Ted Galen Carpenter, Vice President Defense & Foreign Policy Studies; Christopher Preble:
On the plus side, Obama moved quickly to fulfill his most important foreign policy promise: ending the war in Iraq. That said, the policy that his administration will implement is consistent with the agreement that the outgoing Bush administration negotiated with the Iraqis. Given that the war has undermined U.S. security interests, and our continuing presence there is costly and counterproductive, Obama should have proposed to remove U.S. troops on a faster timetable.
Malou Innocent, Foreign Policy Analyst:
The jury is still out on the other major, ongoing military operation, the war in Afghanistan. That mission is directly related to events in neighboring Pakistan, which is serving -- and has served -- as a safe haven for Taliban supporters for years. President Obama deserves credit for approaching the problem with both countries together, and also in a regional context, which includes Iran, as well as India. Still unknown is the scope and scale of the U.S. commitment. President Obama has approved a nearly 50 percent increase in the number of U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan. Some have suggested that still more troops are needed, and that these additional troop numbers might prevail for 10-15 years. That would be a mistake. The United States should be looking for ways to increase the capacity of both Afghanistan and Pakistan to confront the extremism in their countries, and should not allow either to grow dependent upon U.S. military and financial support.
Christopher Preble and Ted Galen Carpenter:
On Iran, President Obama made the right decision by agreeing to join the P5 + 1 negotiations, but that is only a first step. The two sides are far apart and President Obama has not signaled his intentions if negotiations fail to produce a definitive breakthrough. Sanctions have had a very uneven track record, and are unlikely to succeed in convincing the Iranians to permanently forego uranium enrichment. If the Iranians are intent upon acquiring nuclear weapons, military action would merely delay Iran 's program, and would serve in the meantime to rally support for an otherwise unpopular clerical regime, and a manifestly incompetent president.
Doug Bandow, Senior Fellow; Christopher Preble:
A related problem is North Korea's ongoing nuclear program, an area where the president and his team seem to be grasping for answers. President Obama was mistaken if he believed that that the UN Security Council would render a meaningful response to Pyongyang's provocative missile launch. It was naive, at best, for him to believe that even a strong rebuke from the UNSC would have altered Kim Jong Il's behavior. The president must directly engage China, the only country with any significant influence over Kim. The North's reckless and unpredictable behavior does not serve Beijing's interests.
Benjamin Friedman, Research Fellow; Christopher Preble:
Obama and Defense Secretary Robert Gates are correct to apply greater scrutiny to bloated Pentagon spending, and to terminating unnecessary weapon systems, but the budget will actually grow slightly, at a time when we should be looking for ways to trim spending. If President Obama decided to avoid Iraq-style occupations, we could cut our ground forces in half. If we stopped planning for near-term war with China or Russia, the Air Force and Navy could be much smaller. Unless we commit to a grand strategy of restraint, and encourage other countries to provide for their own defense, it will be impossible to make the large-scale cuts in military spending that are needed.
Jim Harper, Director of Information Policy Studies; Benjamin Friedman; Christopher Preble:
Two other quick points. President Obama has moved away from some of the overheated rhetoric surrounding counterterrorism and homeland security, including dropping the phrase 'War on Terror". This was the right approach. The language surrounding the fight against terrorism is as important -- if not more important -- than the actual fight itself. Equally useful is his pledge to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay and his renunciation of the use of torture and other illegal means in the first against al Qaeda. These steps send an important message to audiences outside of the United States who cooperation is essential.
Ian Vasquez, Director, Center for Global Liberty & Prosperity; Juan Carlos Hidalgo, Project Coordinator for Latin America.
President Obama has signaled a slight change on US-Cuba policy by softening some travel and financial restrictions. It is not as far as we would have liked, but it is a step in the right direction -- toward greater engagement, as opposed to more isolation, which was the approach adopted by the Bush administration.

Cars For Sale at the August 2010 Pomona Swap Meet
One of our favorite events in Southern California is the Pomona Swap Meet that happens seven times a year in the gargantuan parking lot of the Fairplex in Pomona. This is the same location where the NHRA held its first drag race and where the Winternationals and World Finals are still contested. In the '50s, road races were held here, and local law-enforcement agencies still use the lot for driver training. The Wally Parks NHRA Motorsports Museum is also on the property.
The swap meet takes up the full length of the dragstrip, filling the parking lot from the north to south ends. The west side of it is packed with many rows of cars for sale and some just on display (because it can be cheaper to bring an old car in the gate than it is to pay for parking and admission). The place is like a party for lots of clubs that come in and hang out together, especially in the lowrider area. There are sections marked out for Corvettes, street rods, muscle cars, VWs, and other European cars.
Check out the photo gallery of maybe one tenth of the cars that were there on August 15, 2010. For more information, see www.PomonaSwapMeet.com.

Illustration by Arie Emens for 'Jonker Hendrik onder de rovers'
Arie Emens was an illustrator who worked mainly in advertising. It was in this occupation that he often used the comics format.
