Rita's Water Ice seeks location at Chestnut Hill Plaza
by Wesley Ratko
Chestnut Hill could be the newest home to Rita's Water Ice, but not before legal restrictions are worked out over who is allowed to set up shop at Chestnut Hill Plaza, 7630 Germantown Avenue.
Representatives and managers of Chestnut Hill Plaza Associates, Alan Roomberg and Jay Strouss, appeared before the Development Review Committee of the Chestnut Hill Community Association to discuss this and a proposed sign for another new business, New Happy Nail Inc., about to open its doors.
The sign issue had been reviewed before by the DRC. Rita's Water Ice was a new consideration before the committee.
Applicants for New Happy Nail, slated to open in the space once occupied by TLA video, appeared at last month's DRC meeting to discuss a proposed sign for the new business. At that meeting, committee chair Greg Woodring suggested the applicant contact the current owner of the shopping center to obtain the sign guidelines originally developed for the shopping center when it was first built. Roomberg and Strouss were present to discuss that.
Before they did, however, Roomberg explained that a tentative agreement was in the works with Rita's Water Ice to be the fourth tenant in the shopping center. Representing Rita's was John Thain, a Chestnut Hill resident and investor in three other Rita's franchises. Roomberg said the agreement couldn't be finalized given language in a restrictive covenant that was set in place 22 years ago when the shopping center was built. The covenant prohibits fast food restaurants as tenants in the shopping center.
Roomberg and Strouss argued that Rita's isn't fast food as intended by the covenant. Roomberg said he wasn't there to ask to have the restrictive covenant lifted, but instead that the DRC agree to accommodate Rita's, given that their style of business – retail water ice – didn't exist when the agreement was crafted.
Elizabeth Bales, a board member and near neighbor, said she was concerned that there are vacancies in the shopping center and that that a cold food, odorless operation would be preferable to a vacant property.
Thain told the committee that the Rita's proposed for this location has been designed to be walk-in instead of walk-up, which is typical of most Rita's locations. He expressed his conviction that Rita's is not fast food as there are no heat and smells.
"We're committed not to upset the neighbors," Strouss said. "We spend $700, $800 a month replacing filters for the Chinese restaurant."
Thain explained that the time Rita's is in operation runs from March to October, and if he has to wait until January for a decision, he would miss half of his operating year. Thain added that he was actively looking at several other locations in addition to Chestnut Hill.
The committee reminded the applicants that they were simply an advisory body and could not make a decision to change the language of the covenant without the board.
Discussion of the shopping center managers' agreement with Rita's overshadowed the principle reason for their appearance before the committee – the ongoing discussion about sign standards for the shopping center.
Roomberg said he is open to instituting some kind of sign standards for the shopping center, but he stressed that the businesses in the shopping center are different from other businesses along the Avenue in Chestnut Hill in that they are set back from the street and experience less walk-by traffic.
"I think some consideration is due," he said, adding that he had no plan for how to proceed. "It was short notice for us to appear here."
Margaret McCauley, a retail consultant with Downtown Works, told the committee that without signage, the businesses in Chestnut Hill Plaza were doomed to failure, given the shopping center's lower Hill location. With proper signage, she said, vacancies there could be filled.
"We're open to reasonable suggestions," Roomberg said, but told the committee that he wouldn't ask the current tenants to change their signs.
Roomberg's partner, Jay Strouss, told the committee that they've entered into negotiations with Sovereign Bank for a $100,000 refinancing agreement to spruce up the façade of the shopping center, but explained that the loan wouldn't be approved with the two vacancies.
"We won't have that money without tenants," he said.
The DRC agreed to send the Rita's issue to LUPZ, with the Chestnut Hill Business Association to decide whether Rita's is a fast food establishment under the terms of the restrictive covenant. It also recommended that the Rita's issue be addressed at a special December meeting of the board, scheduled for Dec. 14.
New Happy Nail was referred to the Aesthetics Committee for quick consideration for approval and updated sign standards for the shopping center.
Fresh Market – Update
The Philadelphia City Planning Commission tabled plans for 8200 Germantown Ave. for 30 days, agreeing to consider it again at its next meeting on Dec. 13.
Joyce Lenhardt, chair of a CHCA subcommittee working with Richard Snowden, managing partner of Bowman Properties, said she had hoped for a longer tabling. A special meeting of the Chestnut Hill Community Association board is scheduled for Dec. 14, one day after the next scheduled Planning Commission meeting. Lenhardt said she's hoping to move the board meeting to the 12th.
Bowman Properties will present an updated "aspirational plan" to the community association's Land Use Planning and Zoning Committee meeting on Dec. 1, joined by members of the Traffic, Transportation and Parking Committee. Lenhardt said that in spite of the subcommittee's wishes to have more landscaping, there is serious concern that parking spaces will be taken in order to provide it. The zoning Bowman has proposed for the site does not require any landscaping.
Lenhardt was one of six people to present testimony on the project at the November meeting of the City Planning Commission. Among the issues she said near neighbors have had for months are concerns with the increase in commercial zoning and a corresponding decrease in residential zoning that would remove the requirement for setbacks along Hartwell Lane.
Lenhardt reminded the committee that there was no precedent for a five-story structure in Chestnut Hill. The mass and bulk of the proposed structure is also cause for concern. Lenhardt said her group still is asking for a public space, access to Pastorius Park and a community development agreement that would detail operational concerns about the Fresh Market supermarket.
Lenhardt said some of the neighbors had hired an attorney to represent their interest and that the attorney spoke on their behalf at the Planning Commission meeting.

Vented loops are mainly there to prevent the boat from flooding if the toilet is located below the waterline, and the loop must be located above the highest waterline (important on a sailboat). If the toilet is already above the waterline you don't need one on the fill side (I don't). If the toilet is above the holding tank as well you may not need one on the discharge side either it but it probably helps keep odors under control. The height of the loop may affect the amount of water that remains in the bowl after flushing. Mine is only a few inches above the toilet discharge (still below the rim) and works just fine, thought I've considered raising it a couple inches. It's nearly a 3' drop to the holding tank.
Note: my diaphragm pump is located below the waterline, so it always gets a prime.

New Delhi: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy Tuesday argued that his resignation would not help resolve the Telangana tangle and said he would stay on and fight for a united state.
"Quitting is not the solution here, we have to debate the issue. We have to convince the people of the state as to why it should be united," Reddy told CNN-IBN news channel in an interview.
"My post is not important but if I give it up, it will not help the cause. I will stay on and fight," he said.
Reddy, who is opposed to the central government's move to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh, said the Congress top leadership needed to be persuaded over the issue.
"We have to convince our high command that it should be united. The problems which are going to arrive after division have never been debated in the public. It has to be debated," he said.
Asked if the Congress decision to divide the state was a mistake, Reddy said: "In the Seemandhra districts, there are a lot of concerns and worries about their future. So dividing the state without solving the problems is a very big concern of the people."
Capital Hyderabad, which will go to Telangana, is the bone of contention, he hinted.
"Nowhere in independent India, the capital of a state has ever been divided or it has gone to the other side," said Reddy.
"Then we have basic problems like distribution of river water, electricity, education which is Hyderabad centric. A lot of youngsters come to Hyderabad for education and most of the IT sector and industries are in and around Hyderabad," he said.
The proposal that Hyderabad would be a joint capital for 10 years was not acceptable, he said.
"It's not acceptance by me. The acceptance by people of Seemandhra and the acceptance by people of the state and people living in Hyderabad and surrounding areas is important," he said.
Many concerns on the proposed bifurcation of the state remain, said the chief minister.
"Not a single concern has been addressed as yet. The government of India has to address these concerns and satisfy the people of Seemandhra before going ahead," he said.
Reddy denied the Congress decision to divide Andhra Pradesh was aimed at political gains, especially the 17 parliamentary seats in Telangana.
"I don't think the state decisions should be taken on political considerations. We have to see in a holistic way the future of Andhra Pradesh and its people," he said.
Reddy said he had told the Congress chief that the concerns of the Telangana region can be addressed only in a united Andhra Pradesh.
"By being united, these problems can be sorted out better than being divided. Both politically and financially the state will be stronger if united," he said.
The first step towards any division of the state would be a resolution in the Andhra Pradesh assembly, said the chief minister.
"First the bill or the resolution has to come to the assembly. We have to debate it in the assembly. The concerns of the people have to be reflected in the assembly," he said.
"People of the state should be aware of what is happening. Only after it comes to the assembly, any call can be taken," he said.

Narcolepsy-cataplexy is an uncommon sleep disorder which may present in childhood. We report a case of an 8-year-old presenting with narcolepsy-cataplexy following a streptococcal infection. Autoimmune etiology for narcolepsy has been suggested. In our patient increased anti-streptolysin O and anti-DNAse B titers were noted. As suggested by recent cases, the streptococcal infection was likely a trigger for narcolepsy onset in this genetically predisposed child. The patient was initially diagnosed as having Sydenham chorea due to motor movements. However, these transient movements may be due to the narcolepsy onset. Narcolepsy in childhood may present with atypical symptoms; it might be difficult to obtain accurate history and can be misdiagnosed as in the reported case. A high index of clinical suspicion is needed to diagnose these patients.
Natarajan N; Jain SV; Chaudhry H; Hallinan BE; Simakajornboon N. Narcolepsy-cataplexy: is streptococcal infection a trigger? J Clin Sleep Med 2013;9(3):269-270.
Narcolepsy with hypocretin deficiency occurs in approximately 1 out of 3,000 individuals. The incidence in children is not known. The loss of hypocretin-secreting neurons in hypothalamus is implicated in the disease process, which is believed to be autoimmune. Recently, post-infectious etiologies have been implicated. We report a case of an 8-year-old presenting with narcolepsy-cataplexy after a streptococcal infection.
An 8-year-old biracial male presented to our clinic for a second opinion. Two months prior to presentation, he had a sore throat and fever of 102°F. Rapid strep test for Streptococcus pharyngitis was negative. Three weeks later, he had rapid onset of somnolence. He was sleeping more than 10 hours in night with 45 to 60-min naps every 3-4 hours. He had brief asynchronous jerks of all extremities prior to falling asleep and slurred speech after laughing. A video EEG and MRI brain were normal. Thyroid and liver function tests, and EBV, and Lyme titers were normal. Anti-streptolysin O (ASO) and anti-DNAse B (ADB) were elevated to 200 IU/mL (normal 0-100 IU/mL) and 587 U/mL (normal 0-170 U/mL), respectively. He was diagnosed with Sydenham chorea (SC) and started on penicillin.
He continued to have increased sleepiness and was referred to us. He also had a decline in school performance and moodiness. He denied hallucinations, vivid dreams, or sleep paralysis. Mother noted increased jitteriness/shaking when he laughed. His Epworth Sleepiness Scale score was 19, and BMI was 19.7 kg/m2 (> 90th percentile). His physical examination was normal. There were no complex motor movements.
Differential diagnosis included narcolepsy or hypersomnia associated with sleep (OSA, PLMD) or neurological disorders. A lumbar puncture showed normal cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) protein, glucose, and cell count. The CSF neurotransmitter metabolites tetrahydrobiopterin and neopterin profiles were normal. CSF hypocretin was 8.6 pg/nL (normal > 110 pcg/nL). His polysomnography suggested sleep efficiency of 59% and restlessness. His multiple sleep latency test (MSLT) showed an average sleep latency of 3.9 (2.1-6.3) min, with sleep onset REM (SOREMs) present in 4 of 5 naps (Figure 1). The HLA DR2 (DR 15) and HLA DQB1*0602 allele were positive. He was diagnosed with narcolepsy. His episodes of slurred speech associated with laughter represented cataplexy. He was started on modafinil 100 mg twice a day. His sleepiness improved significantly with some improvement in nighttime awakenings.

Narcolepsy-cataplexy is believed to be autoimmune, given the strong genetic association with HLA DQB1*0602, and polymorphisms in the T-cell receptor alpha locus.1 Recent studies show antibodies against the anti-Tribbles homolog 2 (TRIB2) in new onset narcolepsy-cataplexy.1,2 Recently, there are reports of narcolepsy following H1N1 influenza infection and vacci-nation.3 The risk of narcolepsy is 5.4 times higher (95% CI, 1.5-19.1) in patients with a physician-diagnosed streptococcal infection.4 Moreover, prior to the onset of narcolepsy, a higher prevalence of streptococcal throat infections was noted in most prepubertal and peripubertal versus postpubertal children.5 Furthermore, higher ASO and ADB titers were found in patients with recent diagnoses, as compared to age-matched controls and patients with long-standing disease.6 Similar to other post-streptococcal sequelae, there may be cross-reactivity between the antibodies against group A Streptococcus and hypocretin secreting neurons. In a genetically predisposed individual, this may trigger the onset of narcolepsy.
Interestingly, this patient had complex motor movements which led to diagnosis of SC. However, these are associated with new-onset narcolepsy in children.7 Moreover, SC is an occasional feature of encephalitis lethargica (EL), a neurological disorder characterized by hypersomnia and posterior hypothalamic lesions,8 associated with elevated ASO titers.9
Narcolepsy-cataplexy is a multifactorial disease. The diagnosis in prepubertal children may be difficult. Recent observations from the Pediatric group of Sleep Research Network have suggested increased new cases of childhood narcolepsy following infections.10 The Network is currently working on examining this issue in a systematic manner.

Mariners forced to bundle up in Chicago
CHICAGO -- After seven weeks in Arizona and then California to open their season, the Mariners had a bit of a rude awakening when they came out to warm up at U.S. Cellular Field for Friday's opener of the three-game set in the Windy City.
The temperature was 41 degrees in the early afternoon and was forecast to dip into the upper 30s by game time. The Mariners have played only 10 games since 1988 when the first-pitch temperature was below 40 degrees.
Players bundled up as best they could with stocking caps and long sleeves, but there's only so much you can do while playing baseball.
"Maybe we can light a fire in the dugout," first baseman Justin Smoak suggested with a laugh.
Manager Eric Wedge managed for two years in Buffalo and seven years in Cleveland, so he's familiar with chilly weather. And Safeco Field can be as cold as any park when the wind is blowing in the early months. But Friday's game figures to be a big test before the temperatures are expected to rise a bit for Saturday's and Sunday's day games.
"It's just part of it early in the season," said Wedge. "I lived it a lot of years obviously managing in Cleveland. This time of the year, this part of the country, you're going to have days like this. We'll just try to utilize the heaters and make sure guys work to stay loose during the game. Just layer up and do what you've got to do."
Mariners center fielder Franklin Gutierrez has had sore hamstrings in recent weeks, but Wedge had him starting in center field Friday and said he wasn't overly concerned.
"He's grown to be quite the study of his own body, because he has had so many issues," Wedge said. "So I do trust him to take care of himself, but we'll do a fly by with a few of these guys and just remind them what we need to do and to pay attention, just stay within yourself on days like today."
Gutierrez went 3-for-5 with a homer, three RBIs and three runs scored during the 10-inning victory.

It's billed as the state's largest gun store.
Shooters World, Florida's first gun superstore, is set to have its grand opening today in Tampa, with potential to become a destination store for shooters and collectors alike.
Just an hour from Sarasota, the business will be the largest gun store in the state — and possibly in the entire Southeast.
Gun sales set a national record in 2012, according to the FBI, and Florida, with its relatively relaxed gun laws, is fertile ground for the $4.1 billion firearms industry. There are more concealed carry licenses here — about 1.2 million — than in any other state.
While smaller gun stores are dealing with a nationwide firearms and ammunition shortage prompted by the Sandy Hook tragedy and President Barack Obama's push for firearms restrictions, Shooters World maintains an inventory that will draw shooters, collectors and the just plain curious.
The 62,000-square-foot store is well-stocked, well-staffed and politically well-connected.
Money for the ventures came from Tampa builder Bing Kearney and Dr. Greg L. Henderson, an opthalmologist engaged to Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi.
Henderson, who still sees patients, says he became interested in guns as a boy, after his father gave him a Luger, a trophy taken from a German solider during World War II.
Henderson is a firearms history buff. And so, in addition to rooms full of guns and accessories, Shooters World will feature museum-quality firearms displays, including a model of every service rifle issued to American infantryman since the Revolutionary War, and a rare World War II DeLisle carbine.
"There are 33,000 [federal firearms licenses] throughout the country, but they're fragmented. Few are customer-oriented," Henderson said.
For the customer accustomed to a small, dimly lighted mom-and-pop gun shop, Shooters World is analogtous to Disney World.
The store's fine-gun room boasts high-end and investment-grade rifles and shotguns, including hand-checkered and engraved Krieghoffs and Merkels. The room, which is kept locked, has overstuffed chairs, soft lighting and oak furniture.
The rifle range offers seven 100-yard lanes, which can handle any caliber up to a .50 BMG.
The two pistol ranges have a state-of-the-art air filtration system.
"The air is actually cleaner in here than in the rest of the store," said employee Jared Sanders.
Tactical shooters, the fastest-growing segment of the shooting sports industry, have an entire room full of guns and gear to peruse. The walls are lined with brand-name military-style rifles and tactical shotguns and magazines.
Non-shooters can watch the ranges through bulletproof windows from the lounge, which offers complimentary soft drinks and a milk shake machine.
The range staffers offer rental firearms, including a large selection of handguns and machine-guns.
The display cases show some evidence of the recent run on guns. There are no AKs in the store, and most of the Glock pistols displayed are chambered in less-popular calibers, such as .357 Sig and .45 GAP.
The store is also trying to carve out a niche among female shooters. Women have been flocking to the sport for years, and are the fastest-growing demographic. Shooters World offers purses, some designed for concealed carry with built-in holsters, and jewelry, including some made out of spent brass.
Kitzis said his wife offered her advice throughout the planning of the store.
Small-gun dealers expect their business may be threatened by the megastore's massive inventory and buying power.
Owner Henderson and general manager Bruce Kitzis acknowledge that power.
Kitzis says he buys firearms through connections he has cultivated with firearms manufacturers for years.
"That's how our business works," he said. Kitzis recently signed a deal for immediate delivery of high-end M4 carbines direct from their manufacturer, while another retailer won't receive one of the guns until 2015.
Kitzis also said Shooters World has helped smaller stores. One small gun shop, which makes most of its income from concealed-carry classes, wasn't able to find .22 ammunition for students, Kitzis said, and nearly halted classes. He sold the shop several cases at cost.
"There's no .22 long rifle available anywhere right now," he said. "I've got a pallet of it, so we helped them out."
Meanwhile, he said, there are plans for more stores, though Shooters World is not affiliated with a firm in Arizona with a similar name.

A big rig traveling north on Main Street at about 4 p.m. Friday dropped its fuel tank near Fourth Avenue, leaving a dark streak of diesel on the pavement and leaving the inside, northbound lane of the street closed from the mid-300 block to the mid-400 block of Main.
Crews used straps to reattach the scuffed-up tank to the underside of the truck, which had stopped in the mid-400 block just south of the pedestrian crossing. The truck pulled away at about 6 p.m., but a police kept the lane closed while a fire department crew scattered an absorbent on the street and began cleanup.

2 Hour Wait at Battersby? Where to Eat and Drink Nearby
Cobble Hill restaurant Battersby has been a critical darling since it opened two years ago. The crowds—locals and interborough travelers alike—have followed, because yes, there are scores of kale salads and sweetbread dishes these days, but few as good as Battersby's.
Since the team opened up their larger restaurant Dover (also to critical acclaim), getting into Battersby is a little easier. But on peak nights you may still be looking at a multi-hour wait for a table. Looking for some alternatives in the neighborhood? Right this way.
The Closest Call
You want inventive and seasonal in a space that knows how to charm—Brucie does this well. Take slow-roasted Brussels sprouts with wood sorrel, or some of the beautiful pastas, or a chicken for two rubbed with clove and cinnamon and served over red rice. Like at Battersby, the kitchen does wonderful things with vegetables.
There's also Rucola, a nominally nothern Italian restaurant with some intriguing menu items like salt cod and potato soup with soft cooked egg and an affordable drink list, too. (Incidentally: good brunch as well.)
Both of these restaurants draw fans of their own (as does La Vara, though that's worth a seat at the bar if you can snag it), but their lower profile means a hassle-free table is a more likely bet.
Drinks and Snacks While You Wait
If you're waiting out a table, there are plenty of bars nearby. One block down you'll find Wing Bar and Zombie Hut, the former a solid place to get some wings and a pint, the latter a bar with the good sense to serve scorpion bowls and stock board games like Scrabble, Clue, Scattegories, and even Monopoly if you're feeling it.
Also nearby are 61 Local, which has some respectable grillled cheese if you need to take the edge off your hunger, and cocktail destination Clover Club, though it can draw crowds of its own.
More Good Eating Nearby
If you're spurned from a table at Battersby, you're not lacking for other good places to eat. More casual, but plenty of fun, especially come warm weather when you can eat outside, is Van Horn, where Southern sandwiches like fried catfish or chicken are worth a visit. Also on the Southern spectrum is Char No. 4, a great bar/restaurant devoted to bourbon, smoked meat, and plenty of pork.
There's also Gowanus newcomer Lavender Lake. Though it's primarily a cocktail bar, there's a full dinner menu, and beautiful outdoor seating when the weather's nice. The Grocery operates in this vein as well, with items like a Swiss chard pancake and crispy squid with kale and kohlrabi.

Would You Like More WLM Information In DB2 Accounting Trace - And How Would You Use It?

I was lucky enough to be in Silicon Valley Lab for DB2 BootCamp last week. There I ran into a DB2 developer I've worked very successfully with in the past - John Tobler. (He's the guy I look to for questions and issues with DB2 SMF data.) We had a good discussion about something I'd personally like to see in DB2 Accounting Trace - more WLM information - and this post is as a result of this... [More]

Editor's Note: Joan Henneberry is a principal at Health Management Associates, an independent national research and consulting firm specializing in complex health care program and policy issue. Previously, she served as the Planning Director for Colorado's Health Insurance Exchange in 2011.
By Joan Henneberry - Special to CNN
For many waiting for the Supreme Court to decide on the fate of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the wait may be worse than the outcome. Uncertainty has paralyzed some state officials and engendered a sense of desperation in others.
But delaying key policy and program decisions puts states at risk of not meeting the ACA's 2014 implementation deadlines and, worse, of missing out on options available to them right now.
The ACA offers avenues for improving health care even in the absence of the individual mandate by bringing efficiencies into the healthcare system, bending the cost curve, and improving overall customer experience.
Here are some things states can do to reform health care even if the mandate is struck down:
Implement service delivery and payment reforms
States have been experimenting with Medicaid managed care approaches for decades. Essentially, plans take the full financial risk of paying for care even when people need high-cost care or hospitalization. States have had mixed success with these models in terms of client satisfaction, outcomes, and cost.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Innovation, established by the ACA, is giving states and communities the opportunity to pilot new models of care that will transform the health care system. States will continue to move away from fee-for-service arrangements, replacing them with accountable care organizations, community-care organizations, managed care plans, or some other entity.
The ACA gives states additional tools to integrate and pay for care differently, especially for the most expensive and vulnerable populations. In some cases, the federal government picks up a greater share of the cost when there is better coordination of care and use of home and community-based services.
With new financial and policy support from the ACA, states are redesigning care and payment models for dually eligible individuals - people who receive both Medicare and Medicaid benefits. This population has the greatest needs and costs the most to serve - 9.2 million people at a cost to the states and federal government of $300 billion annually.
Federal encouragement and support to coordinate care between Medicare and Medicaid is long overdue. All states should explore the opportunities in the ACA for higher federal reimbursements and the flexibility to integrate primary care and long-term care services.
Use of health information technology
Providers and systems of care need modern tools to communicate. States can support the development of health information technology and health information exchange infrastructure through direct grant making, policy and rule making, and designating a statewide entity to coordinate efforts. Confidentiality and protections for consumers are paramount, and states can oversee those protections while simultaneously ensuring that appropriate clinical information is exchanged. The initial funding for electronic health records came from Recovery Act, but the ACA provides new incentives for widespread adoption of these communication tools.
Public health data collection and reporting should also be connected to health data exchange efforts so local health systems', communities', and states' efforts to improve wellness and the population of the community can benefit. States have policy, regulatory, and financial incentives to ensure that providers and consumers can use data to improve health and health care.
Wellness and prevention
The Affordable Care Act provides funding and guidance for states to focus on population-based health care initiatives. With or without the mandate, states should continue to seek federal funds and invest state general funds in public health initiatives that ensure people receive the education and interventions needed to improve the health of the community: immunizations for adults and children; tobacco prevention and cessation; obesity prevention and intervention; family planning and the prevention of unwanted pregnancies along with adequate prenatal care; and management of chronic illnesses for people already diagnosed.
Health insurance Exchanges
State Health Insurance Exchanges are a key part of the health reform package that could function without a mandate. The purpose of an exchange is to provide a single point of entry for small business and individuals to buy coverage. Consumers select among competing insurers offering standardized products. Information about quality is provided so consumers can make wise choices about the relative value of the products being offered, thereby forcing insurers to compete on price and quality.
Previous efforts to establish exchange-like entities have nearly all failed. They couldn't attract enough buyers, and they suffered from adverse selection. The ACA addresses both of these problems by requiring that everyone receiving a subsidy must purchase through a certified exchange and by requiring insurers to offer the same prices for products offered inside and outside the exchange. As long as these two conditions remain in force, and subsidies are available, exchanges can help to improve market performance and access.
States face the brunt of the direct implementation of the Affordable Care Act. If the Supreme Court rules that only the individual mandate is unconstitutional but the rest of the ACA stands, including the expansion of Medicaid to another 17 million individuals, states will continue to do what they've been doing for almost 30 years - that is, develop ways to serve their uninsured residents, with or without federal assistance.
But states hit a tipping point during this last recession. They just cannot continue to expand services, add more individuals to Medicaid, pay rising costs, and respond to market and consumer demands without the federal dollars that are available through the ACA. The policies and programs in the ACA are important cornerstones, but the availability of federal funds will determine how far states can go to reform health and healthcare.
The views expressed in this article are solely those of Joan Henneberry.

Ubuntu used in a video about viruses?
I was bored yesterday and this Yahoo! feature got my attention. It is about how tell if your "PC has a virus".
I might be mistaken, but the image they used to illustrate the first symptom of those annoying virus infections that plague Windows users seems to have come from... a computer running Ubuntu!
If that's the case and the illustration was used unknowingly, the reporter really needs to evaluate her sources.
However, if it was used intentionally, then "frequent crashes" in Ubuntu are being used as a misrepresentation of virus infections... For what purpose, I ask?
Judge it yourselves...
3 comentarios:
Yes, it surely looks like Ubuntu to my untrained eye! That is weird...couldn't the author find a Windows-related illustration since she was talking only about Windows? Is there a shortage of images of Windows error messages or something?ResponderEliminar
Now, if the image was used intentionally, Ubuntu users won't be quite happy...
Seems like she was teasing Ubuntu and in general Linux.ResponderEliminar
The image says : Frequent Crashes.
And she does not know, that it is actually a so great tool that allows the user to report bugs and prevent the system from going berserk.
She does not know maybe it is a Beta release still being forged, an dthat crashes and bugs are a normal stage towards a stable release.
She'd better upgrade her life.
everything posted in yahoo! is sooooo newbie.... This blog has a far more scientific character than any of those posts.... even mine has. lol thank god for the teachers in college being so bitchy about the sources and objectivity.ResponderEliminar

David Wilson's words that moved Yuna Kim to tears:"Being with Yuna as her choreographer was one of the best experiences of my life."[OSEN=Seoul Olympic Park, Reporter Kim Hee-Sun l 2014.05.06]All throughout the three-day ice show that brought her competitive career to a closure, Yuna Kim maintained a bright and cheerful smile on her face. But it wasn't long before she eventually broke down in tears. It was at the words of her long time choreographer and good friend, David Wilson: "Being with Yuna as her choreographer was one of the best experiences of my life."On May 6, Kim successfully rounded up the last show of All That Skate 2014 at the Olympic Gymnastics Arena. After retiring from the competitive stage at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics in February, this ice show was where she bid farewell to all her fans in Korea.After her debut on the senior stage in 2006, Kim went on to achieve a Grand Slam, winning the gold medals at the Olympics, World Championships, Four Continents, and the Grand Prix Final. This, along with her unsurpassed record of never finishing off the podium in every single competition in her entire career, made her the undeniable "Queen of Figure Skating." With all of this now behind her, Kim walked away from competitive figure skating while a roar of applause rose from the crowd of more than 10,000 at the ice show. Hae-Jin Kim and So-Yeon Park, the two younger South Korean figure skaters who have been training under her wings, showed tears in having to watch their role model say good-bye, but the Queen maintained a glistening smile throughout the show.But it was during the press conference after the last show when Kim finally erupted into the tears she had been holding back. After briefly stating her thoughts and impressions on the ice show, the microphone was handed over to David Wilson, her choreographer. "Working with Yuna as her choreographer was one of the best experiences of my life," he said. "I think probably the best way to describe the way I feel [watching her farewell stage] is…it's a little bit bitter sweet. I think any transition in life is always exciting but it's also a little bit sad, too."Wilson's words were filled with so much affection that Kim was no longer able to hold back her tears. Wilson consoled the tear-faced Queen by her side and added, "But I'm really, really proud of her. And I'm also proud of all the skaters who took part in this show. I'm so happy we all got to do this together. Watching her skate at this show with such composure and beauty and grace made me so, so proud."Reflecting back on his years spent together with Kim, Wilson said, "It was a very special time in my life. In my 22 years of working as a figure skating choreographer, there are two people I consider to be the most special to me. It's my good friend Sébastien, who is my life-long friend, and my first client. And it's Yuna. I want to encourage her and hug her and tell her how amazing she was." He also added with a smile, "When Yuna left Toronto, I missed her so much that there was a time when I cried like a baby.""My mother once told me this. She said that the reason she raised me and nurtured me was not to keep me by her side all her life, but to be able to send me off into the big world prepared. And that's exactly how I feel about Yuna right now. I'm so excited to see how she would move forward in her life and what big things are waiting for her. I'm just so thankful for the special relationship I've been able to have with Yuna so far," he said, sending a heart-felt message of encouragement to Kim who finally brought her career to a long-awaited closure.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Brad Richards scored the winning goal with 0.1 seconds left as the New York Rangers beat the Phoenix Coyotes 3-2 on Saturday night.
Richards' backhanded shot from the left circle eluded goalie Mike Smith as time ran out. The game appeared to be headed to overtime, but a video replay revealed that the puck crossed the goal line in just enough time.
The Rangers rallied from a 2-1 deficit and snapped a two-game losing streak. The Coyotes have lost four of five. Martin Gaborik's second goal of the game tied it 2-2 just over two minutes into the third period. Gaborik took advantage of Coyotes defenseman Keith Yandle's giveaway in front of the net.
Cal O'Reilly scored his first goal on the power play to give Phoenix a 2-1 lead with 51 second left in the second period. Lauri Korpikoski made it 1-1 when he got Phoenix even with 9 seconds left in the first.
After scoring a total of one goal in their previous two losses, the Rangers came out strong with solid forechecking and a clear territorial edge. The Rangers converted their energy into a power-play goal that made it 1-0.
Defenseman Michael Del Zotto split defensemen Adrian Aucoin and Oliver Ekman-Larsson with a perfect pass onto the stick to Gaborik, who broke in alone and ripped a shot past Smith at 8:34 for his 16th of the season.
Though clearly outplayed in the first, the Coyotes tied it 1-1 at the end of the period. Boyd Gordon beat Erik Christensen on a faceoff to the right of Rangers goalie Martin Biron and drew the puck back to Korpikoski, who scored his eighth of the season and second short-handed goal.
O'Reilly made it 2-1 with less than one minute left in the second period. It was his first goal for the Coyotes since he was traded to Phoenix on Oct. 28.
The goal was just the 12th on the power play for Phoenix. Only St. Louis has scored fewer goals with the man advantage.
NOTES: Korpikoski's short-handed goal was the Coyotes' third this season. . Gaborik's fifth power play goal tied him with captain Ryan Callahan for the team lead. . Former Coyotes forward Wojtek Wolski missed his 19th straight game for the Rangers because of a groin injury sustained Nov. 3. … C Mike Rupp returned to the New York lineup following a knee injury.

Good morning, and TGIF! :D
You know how the weeks leading up to a vacation usually crawl by at a snail's pace, leaving you waiting for the feel of smooth sand, and taste of minty mojitos in pure agony? This week has been the complete opposite! I feel like I've been running around like a crazy person trying to get everything on my to-do list done, and there's just not enough hours in the day to do it all!
At this point I'm kind of in "wedding mode" though. Jamaica is coming a little over one week from now whether everything is done or not, so I guess I'll just keep my eye on the prize. ;)
I hope things are going well in your world, and you've got some fun plans to look forward to this weekend. In the meantime, please enjoy my favorite finds from around the web in this week's Friday Favorites!
PS: sorry for the abundance of cakes. I actually had about three times as many, but Ben talked me down off the ledge…
Favorite mouthwater: Baked Lime Pudding Cake. This creamy, sweet & tangy cake makes my mouth water. I think my citrus obsession from last summer is coming back in full swing!
Favorite dress: Malibu Maxi Dress. How cah-UTE is this maxi dress?! I've never bought one because I'm so short (5'2) and I feel like they'd always drag on the ground, but the color blocking and cut is absolutely adorable regardless.
Favorite gadget: S'more Maker. No bonfire? No problem! Pop s'more ingredients into the cups of this s'more maker, then place it on the grill or in the oven. Awesome for the summertime.
Favorite find: Mamma Chia. I don't remember how or where I heard about Mamma Chia drinks, but I am obsessed with finding them. Apparently it's fruit juice sweetened with agave nectar with chia seeds inside. YUM!
Favorite weekend treat: Meyer Lemon Doughnuts. Angharad featured these doughnuts on her blog the other day and I about fell off my chair when I saw them. I always associate doughnuts as a weekend treat. This is certainly one to work for!
Favorite funny. I don't know why, but the visual image of me and my girlfriends trolling around on golf carts in our bejeweled track suits when we're 80 made me laugh like crazy. Love it. ;)
Favorite retreat. Oh, those summer nights…
Favorite bite: Parmesan Baked Potato Halves. Potatoes + garlic + butter + parmesan cheese. What's not to love?
Favorite before & after: Re-purposed Barn Doors. I am just obsessed with making the old, new, and using it in unexpected ways. So rustic chic!
Favorite moist maker: Peach Vanilla Bean Bundt Cake. I simply cannot get over how moist, dense, sweet, and luscious this cake looks.
Favorite pooch. Ben and I nearly died laughing over this picture. I mean, WHAT?!
Favorite slurp: Creamy Garlic Pasta. This is my ideal weeknight meal. Easy and SO pleasey.
Favorite woah: Sand Paintings. San Francisco based artist Andreas Amador creates "paintings" in beach sand using only a rake, and time. You should see these pictures!

Favorite bikini buster: Bacon Taco Shells. Just once, sometime, mmkay?
Favorite awesome: Camera Lens Mug. A must-give gift for the camera enthusiast in your life!
Favorite twist: Ginger Coconut-Carrot Cake. Yes, to all of those flavors. I want to make these into mini cupcakes.
Favorite flavor combo: Cantaloupe Ribbons with Chorizo. This reminds me of the Prosciutto, Cantaloupe & Cashews salad I posted a couple months ago. I'd like to try the spicy chorizo!
Favorite view: Streets of Najac, France. I wonder if these people wake up everyday thinking, "I get to LIVE here!"
Favorite memory: Framed Corks. Frame corks from champagne bottles opened for important events in your life – wedding, births, anniversaries, etc. Great conversation piece – I just wish I would have saved one from our wedding!
Favorite .com: Chocolate Chip Cookie Mousse Bomb. This recipe makes me sublimely happy. Cookies on top of cookies topped with chocolate. 'Nuff said. ;)
Favorite do good: Youth Emergency Services & Shelter of Iowa (YESS) Duck Derby. Ben and his team at work volunteer at YESS, which provides emergency shelter, respite, crisis care, and counseling for children birth through age 17, and are heavily involved in their annual "Duck Derby" fundraiser going on now! You can help YESS by adopting a rubber duck, which will be released Saturday, May 5, at the Jordan Creek Town Center Lake.

We may have food down cold, but wine? This is where we'll conquer it. Join us; we don't want to drink alone.
Today: It's warm -- go picnic. Bring these strategies for whites, reds, and even packaging, with you.
For me picnics are all about logistics: the set up, the food, the wine. For my friend Elizabeth, who plans picnics and outdoor events as part of her job, they're all about keeping it simple.
"Cathy," she says to me in her southern drawl, "Caaa-THEE, just bring the wine that most people are going to like. Trust me, honey."
If You Like White Most people at a picnic will like a white wine. They're often crisp and fresh and well-suited to sipping casually, outdoors. If you go with a white, look for Albariño from Spain's Rías Baixas or Torrontes from Argentina -- especially if you're eating a salad like this, or roast chicken.
More: Find yourself waiting for others at your picnic? We have you covered.
If You Like RedRed wines can work well too, especially lighter reds with less alcohol. Look for wines made from the Gamay grape in France's Beaujolais (extra points if you find one from the pitch-perfect 2009 vintage!), or Rhône blends from the Languedoc-Roussillon region. For something to eat alongside, look no further than this Salad Niçoise.
Consider the Box (And: The Screw Cap is Your Friend) Another element to picking perfect picnic wines is choosing technology that's sensitive to the environment. (Because we are dining outdoors, after all.) Think screw caps and boxed wine -- and forget the stereotypes.
Metal screwcap closures are easily recyclable, plus there's no need to add a corkscrew to your picnic basket. Boxed wine doesn't allow air to enter the package, so the wine lasts longer (weeks for boxes instead of days for bottles), and the carbon footprint of boxed wines is significantly smaller than wines in glass bottles. Consider the fact that boxes are shatter-proof just another added bonus.
For the perennial favorite picnic wine – Rosé -- look for Comptoirs de Magdala Rosé in boxes, and please rest assured: it's good wine! (We promise.) For a screw cap, Bonny Doon's Vin Gris de Cigare is a long-time favorite, and Donkey and Goat Grenache Rosé will quickly become a new one.
If All Else Fails, Find a Great Bottle Near the ParkArm yourself with an app. Slow Food Editore has published an iOS app that connects users to more than 400 Italian producers who meet the Slow Food criteria for sustainable winemaking. By "connects," we mean literally: the app includes a location-based service that tells you where in the U.S. you can buy the wines, whether you're at a restaurant in New York, a wine shop in Seattle, or on your way to a picnic anywhere else.
Start with simplicity, add a nod or two to technology, and your perfect picnic wines can last you all summer long. Trust me, honey.

I started collecting comics in 1984, and discovered gaming at Transylvania University in 1985 (a real school, I kid you not), and spent the next few years playing such varied games as AD&D, Space Opera, Twilight: 2000 and Champions. It wasn't until early 1988 that I discovered Robotech comics, which led me into my current hobbies of anime collecting, and being a Palladium know-it-all. In May of that year, I actually played the Robotech RPG under Kevin Siembieda at Marcon 23, and was hooked.
Since then, I've tried to get a college degree (off and on), while writing in my spare time. My games are erratic, but tend to get twisted, and sometimes metaphysical. Due to health reasons, I've pretty much fallen off the con circuit, after attending Marcon in Columbus 21 straight years, and being staff for Sugoicon & Anime Central from their inception, until 2007.
In fact, my health was so stressed that I was getting sick at the two anime cons above, and was so out of it by Sunday, that to some I appeared to be under the influence of something (when, in fact, I've never used drugs, and can count the times I've drank alcohol on one hand with fingers left over). It was so bad, that either in 2006 or 2007, it took me over 24 hours to drive back from Anime Central (what is normally a 10 hour trip).
When I make it to Gen Con, I usually take part in the "Puffing Billy" Railroad board games tournament, and occasionally run Robotech RPG games if I can find time to squeeze one in. But, again, health issues have conspired, along with finances (prior to 2009, my late father would supply me a rental car for con trips rather than risk me breaking down on the side of the road - the least he could do, given that my own cars usually were in dire need of repair from damage my addict brother would do to them, and my dad was the worst kind of enabler for my brother's activity).

|My fanfic files can be found by following the link below. In the last few years, I converted most of my older fics to PDFs, but plan on going back, editing them once more, and re-converting them (especially since my current conversion software works MUCH better than what I originally used)

the Robotech series and its timeline, in an effort to reconcile as many
contradictions within it as possible. Note that this is still as relevant in demolishing the ham-handed retcons of Harmony Gold as it was when last updated 9 years ago.
