VW Passat Performance Concept: Detroit Auto Show
- Passat Performance Concept explores the midsize sedan's sporty side.
- A turbocharged 4-cylinder engine produces 250 horsepower.
- It's just a concept for now, but some aspects may make it to production.
The Volkswagen Passat Performance Concept doesn't immediately come across as some souped-up version of Volkswagen's made-in-America midsize Passat sedan. Standing under the lights of the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, it appears a little too tasteful for a performance model.
The 19-inch wheels don't give anything away. There are no wings or aerodynamic aids to speak of. On the outside, only the carbon fiber mirror housings, dual exhaust pipes, blueish bi-xenon headlights and LED tail lights point to a higher specification and a possibly more mischievous character.
Inside, there are a few more clues. A black headliner like the one here is often found in sportier machines. And the "carbon-like" (VW's description) trim accents push the car further away from traditional family hauler territory.
It's under the surface where VW concentrated its "efforts to explore this practical four-door's sportier side." The suspension has been tuned and lowered to emphasize agility over comfort, but it's the engine changes that are most interesting.
Whereas a regular 2013 VW Passat starts out with an 2.5-liter 5-cylinder engine producing an adequate 170 horsepower and 177 lb-ft of torque, the Performance Concept takes a 1.8-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder (available in VW cars in Europe and Asia) tuned to produce a far more enjoyable 250 hp (VW hasn't given a torque figure, but 260 lb-ft wouldn't be a bad guess). This is linked to a six-speed automatic transmission, although not one of VW's excellent and fairly sporty dual-clutch DSG.
Since the Passat Performance Concept is merely an idea at the moment, there are no figures for the 0-60 mph sprint, top speed or fuel consumption. Official word on whether this model, or something like it, could ever go into production is also sadly lacking. There is, however, some chance that this engine -- or a similarly sporty version of it -- could become available in U.S.-spec VW cars. But which ones and when are still up in the air.
What this means to you: Wouldn't it be good to have a Passat that can pull family duty and then inspire you to take the long way home?

WASHINGTON (AP) � The recession is killing jobs at an alarming pace, with tens of thousands of new layoffs announced Monday by some of the biggest names in American business � Pfizer, Caterpillar and Home Depot.
More pink slips, pay freezes and other hits are expected to slam workers in the months ahead as companies desperately look for ways to survive.
"We're just seeing the tip of the iceberg � the big firms," said Rebecca Braeu, economist at John Hancock Financial Services. "There's certainly other firms beneath them that will lay off workers as quickly or even quicker."
Looking ahead, economists predicted a net loss of at least 2 million jobs � possibly more � this year even if President Barack Obama's $825 billion package of increased government spending and tax cuts is enacted. Last year, the economy lost a net 2.6 million jobs, the most since 1945, though the labor force has grown significantly since then.
The unemployment rate, now at a 16-year high of 7.2 percent, could hit 10 percent or higher later this year or early next year, under some analysts' projections.
Obama called on Congress Monday to speedily enact his recovery plan, warning that the nation can't afford "distractions" or "delays."
With the recession expected to drag on through much of this year, more damage will be inflicted on both companies and workers.
The mounting toll was visible Monday as roughly 40,000 more U.S. workers got the grim news.
Pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Inc., which is buying rival drugmaker Wyeth in a $68 billion deal, and Sprint Nextel Corp., the country's third-largest wireless provider, said they each will slash 8,000 jobs.
Home Depot Inc., the biggest home improvement retailer in the U.S., will get rid of 7,000 jobs, and General Motors Corp. said it will cut 2,000 jobs at plants in Michigan and Ohio because of slow sales.
"We are seeing no improvement in labor market conditions," said Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets Economics. "This year could be as bad as last year in terms of layoffs."
In response to deteriorating business conditions, Caterpillar Inc., the world's largest maker of mining and construction equipment, disclosed nearly 20,000 job cuts, most of which already have been made. They include 5,000 new layoffs of white collar workers, which will occur globally by the end of March.
Earlier actions included the elimination of 2,500 Caterpillar workers through a buyout offer announced in December, the termination of about 8,000 contract and temp agency workers, and the reduction of 4,000 full-time factory workers through firings and buyouts.
Texas Instruments Inc., which makes chips for cell phones and other gadgets, will cut 3,400 jobs due to slumping demand. The Dallas-based company said Monday it will slash 12 percent of its work force � 1,800 jobs through layoffs and another 1,600 through voluntary retirements and departures. And Brooks Automation Inc. said it plans to get rid of 350 jobs, or 20 percent of its work force. It will be the second round of cuts for Brooks, which makes software and equipment for chip manufacturers.
Oilfield services provider Halliburton Co. said it will eliminate jobs in markets particularly hard hit by the recession, though it didn't provide details. Its larger rival Schlumberger Ltd. said last week it will cut up to 5,000 jobs worldwide in the first half of 2009 and consider further reductions this spring.
The flurry of layoffs comes on the heels of similar action by big-name companies just last week.
Microsoft Corp. said it will slash up to 5,000 jobs over the next 18 months. Intel Corp. said it will cut up to 6,000 manufacturing jobs. And United Airlines parent UAL Corp. said it would get rid of 1,000 jobs, on top of 1,500 axed late last year.
And there's no end in sight. In a survey by the National Association for Business Economics, 39 percent of forecasters predicted job reductions through attrition or "significant" layoffs over the next six months, up from 32 percent in the previous survey in October. Around 45 percent in the current survey anticipated no change in hiring plans. About 17 percent thought hiring would increase.
A new report by the placement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that companies are often turning to a creative combination of measures to cut costs � beyond layoffs. Those measures include pay freezes or reductions, forced vacations, travel cutbacks and the elimination of year-end bonuses.
"Many companies cannot cut their payrolls as deeply as they have in previous downturns, simply because they did not do as much hiring during the most recent expansion," said John Challenger, president of the firm. "As a result, they are forced to find alternative ways to keep costs down."
Not all the economic news was as grim Monday. Sales of previously owned homes and a separate barometer of economic activity each logged unexpected gains in December. But economists didn't view them as signs of improvement.
"Keep the party hats in boxes and the Champagne in the cellar," said Bernard Baumohl, chief global economist at the Economic Outlook Group. "It's one month's set of data and they tell us little about the future."
Economists said the uptick in home sales was due to sinking prices spurring buyers. In the other report, a government-influenced balloon in the nation's money supply largely affected the outcome.
Wall Street closed moderately higher. The Dow Jones industrials rose 38.47,or 0.48 percent, to 8,116.03, after briefly moving into negative territory.
The National Association of Realtors said sales of existing homes rose 6.5 percent to an annual rate of 4.74 million last month. Buyers took advantage of dramatically lower prices, especially in distressed states like California, Florida and Nevada, where foreclosures are soaring.
The nationwide median sales price sank to $175,400, down 15.3 percent from a year ago. That marked the biggest annual drop on records going back to 1968. The median is the middle point, where half the homes sell for more and half for less.
For all of last year, existing-home sales totaled 4.9 million, down more than 13 percent from the previous year, and the lowest since 1997.
Meanwhile, the Conference Board's monthly forecast of economic activity rose 0.3 percent in December. But that pickup was influenced mainly by federal efforts to ease the credit crisis, which caused the supply of money to expand. If the jump in the money supply were excluded, the board's index would have dropped sharply, economists said.
The national economy, meanwhile, is continuing to backslide.
Many analysts predict the economy will have contracted at a pace of 5.4 percent in the fourth quarter when the government releases that report Friday. If they are correct, that would mark the worst performance since a 6.4 percent drop in the first quarter of 1982. The economy is still contracting now � at a pace of around 4 percent, according to some projections.
Job-killing recession racks up more layoff victims

So to be clear... this has the horizontal postbit and only a few colors (but which colors??).Originally Posted by Miko
I run an Aria Sand forum with a vertical postbit, so I'll be waiting a little while I guess. I hope to be able to do it this weekend (weekends we have less traffic, so downtime isn't so bad).
Hi Sandtrap,
the postbit is the vertical , my mistake in the announcement
Is a improved version of the old aria postbit!
aria sand, aria citrus and aria chocolate are coming in the next 48 hours.
Great. I was wondering - the test forum had a vertical postbit, yes. Thanks for clarifying.Originally Posted by Miko
When sand is ready, I'm good to go. Funny that I'm "sandtrap" and my site is "The Sand Trap" and one of the themes is called "sand." It was meant to be.
I've screenshotted (not that that's a verb) my site and grabbed copies of all changed templates, so I think I'm ready to go. It will be an adventure, but I'm looking forward to it.
sweetness, this is really good news. Guess imma refill my coffee and get started on some forum upgrading. Thanks alot miko you da man:w00t:
So how'd it go, death?Originally Posted by death
I'm still hoping the Sand color comes out today. ;-)
Is out now, just before the end of the weekend, at least NY timeOriginally Posted by sandtrap
So this means that all of the modifications I've made at my forums will have to be redone? That is quite a lot to ask when I don't think there were that many changes from vB 3.5.4 to 3.6.0. Please clarify.The skin is a complete recode from the ground up.
Almost every template has changed since vbulletin 3.5.4Originally Posted by markblair
All of the new features of vbulletin 3.6.0 simply do not work with the 3.5.4 files.
Is not a matter of a few changes unfortunately, that is why I opted for a full recode.
The final decision is up to you buddy you can always try to apply the changes posted on vbulletin.com since 3.5.4
and plus you get a new color, aria carbon
I wasn't trying to give you a hard time. I simply mentioned what I've been told (that 3 maybe 4 templates changed drastically between vB 3.5 and 3.6). It sounds like that wasn't the case. Thanks for clarifying.

Developers Treyarch revealed a new trailer for Black Ops II today, which you can watch above.
Lots of quick cuts, action and things on fire riddle the latest trailer, which they're calling a launch trailer. Seems a bit early for the November 13th release, but hey.
There's a quick shot of a nifty, spider-like gadget that you can apparently use to crawl through tight spaces like ventilation shafts. The newest trailer also gives you a bunch of quick previews of a ton of vehicles you'll be shooting RPGs at and potentially driving in. There's all that, and a bunch of AC/DC, too.
Feel free to call out anything else that looks noteworthy in the discussions below.

IOWA CITY (AP) — A bright but troubled University of Iowa graduate student opened fire on police responding to a domestic disturbance at a trailer park, injuring three officers before he was killed by gunfire, a sheriff said Monday.
Taleb Hussein Yousef Salameh, 28, was killed Sunday evening after North Liberty police officers responded to a 911 call at a mobile home at about 6 p.m., Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek said. Officers made contact with Salameh and a female victim, and "gunshots were exchanged between officers and Salameh," who was killed at the scene, he said.
Three North Liberty police officers were struck by Salameh's gunfire and transported to University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics for care. All three were treated and released. The female victim was not harmed in the shootout, and nobody else was home at the time.
The sheriff said the shooting remained under investigation and an autopsy on Salameh would be conducted by a deputy state medical examiner at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics.
University officials said Salameh was a graduate research assistant in mechanical engineering. Doctoral student Mohsen Ghamari, a classmate who shared an office with Salameh, said he was stunned by the death, calling him a smart and hard-working student who was about to begin a career in the field.
The shooting happened days after a judge lifted an order that Salameh have no contact with a woman who lived at the mobile home, court records show. The woman had sought the order Feb. 11 after she claimed Salameh had domestically abused her, but it was rescinded after she failed to show up for a court hearing March 1. Under the order, the woman had temporary possession of the home and custody of their daughter, who is expected to turn one next week.
A box was checked on the order warning police to have caution because Salameh owned firearms.
The university released records Monday showing that a top administrator warned the sheriff in 2010 that he had concerns about whether Salameh should be allowed to own a gun. Salameh had applied for a handgun permit at the sheriff's office, which then had leeway under Iowa law to conduct background checks on applicants.
After learning of Salemeh's application, university officials met with Salameh to discuss the matter and insisted he sign a waiver allowing them to speak with his psychologist and psychiatrist, according to a Feb. 26 letter from Associate Vice President for Student Services David Grady. He asked Pulkrabek to delay a decision until the university could "conduct a full review of this situation."
In a follow-up letter three weeks later, Grady told Pulkrabek that he had "serious reservations" about Salameh's application, noting he had been convicted of numerous alcohol-related offenses and was involved in an assault on a student that took place out-of-state in 2009. He said Salameh was scheduled to graduate in December 2010, and asked that his application not be considered "until 2011 at the earliest." Pulkrabek didn't return a message on how his office ultimately handled the application.
Ghamari said that Salameh took longer to graduate than expected, but was close to finishing his master's degree after four years in the program, where he performed experiments on combustion under the supervision of professor Albert Ratner. He said Salameh was supposed to defend his thesis and graduate this spring and then take a good-paying job in the private sector.
"He was very busy these days. I see some homework on his desk. He was supposed to grade them," he said. "He was very good at doing his job as a teaching assistant. He was always on time."
Ghamari said that Salemeh had been working as a teaching assistant to support his family, which included a longtime girlfriend and a 1-year-old daughter that he adored. He said he saw the three at a party last summer, and they appeared to be a happy family.
Salameh did have some problems, Ghamari said, including serving a short jail term for what he called "a bar fight" and quitting school for a semester after getting depression. But he said those problems did not seem major for Salameh, who he described as very smart and friendly.
"As far as I know, he was a fine guy," he said. "I'm shocked."
The three officers have been placed on administrative leave during the investigation, which is standard under the department's policy, Pulkrabek said.
North Liberty is a fast-growing city of about 13,000 just north of Iowa City, and many university employees live there. The shooting happened at the Holiday Mobile Home Court, where residents were ordered to evacuate for several hours while officers from several agencies responded to the shooting.
Salameh had long lived in the Iowa City area, and he earned an undergraduate degree from Iowa in mechanical engineering in 2005, with a minor in German. Salameh identified as Jordanian-American because his mother was American and his father was from Jordan, Ghamari said.

Help Erin and Brendan's Butter-Yellow Kitchen My Kitchen Needs a Makeover!
Last week we asked if you needed a kitchen makeover. Lots of you do, apparently, because we already have an inbox full of submissions! Here's our first attempt to offer a little advice and inspiration to a kitchen in need of a makeover. How would you help improve this kitchen?
Name: Erin and Brendan
Location: Inner Sunset area of San Francisco, California
Rent or own? Rent
Read on for what Erin and Brendan want in their kitchen, plus their constraints. We offer a few tips, ideas, and paint colors. How would you make over this kitchen?
What does your kitchen need? Color inspiration (we HATE the nauseating butter yellow), a sense of warmth, flooring ideas, cabinet treatments (not paint), an island next to the stove?
What are your limitations? Can't paint cabinets, small(ish) budget
Erin and Brendan, you guys are among the lucky ones who can paint — this is a huge advantage! You also have wonderful storage (how about that fold-out ironing board?) and so much counter space. This is a great kitchen! We also really like your red EAT sign over the stove; it's hard to see it well in these photos, but we like it. We took inspiration from this, as well as your desire for warmth in the kitchen, and came up with a few ideas.
Paint is going to make a huge difference, of course. We suggest upgrading to a more definitive and committed sort of yellow; perhaps a warm, orangey-yellow. We have a color below, but of course grab swatches and try them out; something that looks good on the screen may not look great in the kitchen. (Our advice is always to go a shade or two lighter than you think you want; it's always more intense on the wall.) We would temper the warm yellow with a neutral gray on the lower half of the wall behind the stove. Then paint all the trim a bright, warm white. Painting the trim alone will make a huge difference; it's our secret weapon in every home we've painted!
The red sign and yellow walls make us want to go vintage industrial with the rest of this kitchen, with striped vintage-feeling towels, a stainless steel cart next to the stove for much-improved cooking flow, and some other pops of red.
Our biggest suggestion, besides painting? Leave the cabinets alone. If you can't paint them, cut your losses and improve the rest of the kitchen. Let the cabinets (and brown flooring) fade into the background as much as possible.
Makeover Recipe:
• Paint the kitchen a warmer, brighter, more committed shade of yellow
• Paint all the trim bright white.
• Accent the white and yellow with a neutral gray behind the stove
• Add a kitchen cart next to the stove for easier cooking.
• De-clutter the fridge and move cereal boxes and unnecessary papers to a cupboard.
• Take inspiration for accent touches from the red EAT sign and yellow color.
• Kitchen Spotlight: Leslie's Sunny Yellow – Another basic rental kitchen without much to change — but a coat of yellow paint really worked wonders.
Suggested Resources:
• Paint: Benjamin Moore 2023-40 Sunburst and 2124-20 Trout Gray (looks taupe above but is a warm gray in person). Plus a bright, all-purpose white.
• Kitchen cart: FLYTTA stainless steel cart, $159 at IKEA
• Rug: 4×6 Murphy Rug in Maize, $79.95 at Crate & Barrel

Species: Leaf-scaled sea snake (Aipysurus foliosquama)
Status: Critically Endangered (CR)
Interesting Fact: The leaf-scaled sea snake is able to remain underwater for up to two hours before resurfacing for air.
Named for the characteristic leaf-like shape of its scales, the leaf-scaled sea snake is a relatively small snake which spends its entire life at sea. Like other sea snakes, it shows a number of adaptations to its aquatic lifestyle, including a flattened, paddle-like tail for swimming, valves in the nostrils which prevent water entering the lung, and a gland under the tongue which excretes excess salt from the body. The leaf-scaled sea snake lives in shallow waters and gives birth to live young. It feeds on small coral reef fish, which it immobilises with its venom.
The leaf-scaled sea snake has one of the most restricted ranges of any sea snake, occurring in just two reefs in the Timor Sea, and occasionally being seen off the northwest coast of Australia. This species was once one of the most commonly seen sea snakes in its range, but has not been recorded in surveys since 2001. The exact reasons for this are unclear, but could be to do with rising sea temperatures and the degradation of its reef habitat, which in turn reduces prey availability. All sea snakes are legally protected in Australia, and measures are underway to monitor and reduce any impacts of fisheries on sea snake species. One of the reefs the leaf-scaled sea snake inhabits is a nature reserve, but unfortunately none of the habitat management plans for this area specifically target this rare marine reptile.

"Items located in Any Country/Region"
I have always been under the impression that selecting "Items located in Any Country/Region" in the Location box of an advanced search, together with "Any Sellers" in the From Sellers box, and "Any currency" in the Currency box, whatever version of eBay you are using, gives you access to every listing on eBay. Are you telling me that I am mistaken?Bernard C.

City Undone by Lack of Ambition
January 24, 2011 Leave a comment
Manchester City have soared to new Premier League heights this season on the back of an impressive away record that is second only to Manchester United's. On Saturday however, facing a resilient Villa side, the dour uni-dimensionalism of City's style was stripped naked to its ugly core.
Roberto Mancini's structured approach to building a top-four team has made many a dull 90 minutes seem like 180. The Mancini method is as follows: make a strong and disciplined base and decorate with flair and creativity later on. Judging by the evidence of Saturday's game, he is still a long way from putting the cherry on top. -read on>

GeForce Now for Mac announced, offers high-end PC gaming on a MacGaming on a Mac has always been notoriously difficult, however, the latest cloud-based gaming announcement from Nvidia at CES 2017 could change the Mac gaming landscape forever. Read on to find out more about GeForce Now for Mac, including how to use GeForce Now, UK release date and pricing.
GeForce Now for PC and Mac is the latest cloud-based offering from Nvidia announced during CES 2017 in Las Vegas. If you think that sounds familiar, you'd be right – GeForce Now is a part of Nvidia's Shield TV, allowing gamers to stream an entire library PC games via a set-top box for a monthly fee. However, the offering for PC and Mac is slightly different. As we understand it, there isn't an existing library of games for PC and Mac gamers to choose from – instead, users link their game libraries via Steam, GOG and other game marketplaces and play games that they own.
The real charm is that all the processing is done by a Nvidia Pascal-powered PC in the cloud, meaning you can run the latest AAA blockbuster games without having to worry about having a low-powered PC, or a Mac (for which many popular games remain unsupported). Simply download the app onto your Mac, log in to access your library and game on! As it's cloud-based, it also means that you can switch between Macs and PCs without losing any save data.
While it's great for budget PC owners, it could really kickstart gaming on Mac for the first time. Macs aren't the machine of choice for gamers as Apple tends to not include the latest Nvidia or AMD-powered graphics cards in its Mac line-up, meaning they'd struggle to power the latest games available for Windows. However, if the processing is done in the cloud on a Windows PC, it not only gives Mac gamers access to high-end gaming, but also a whole library of games that only support PC.
How to use GeForce Now on Mac: Pricing and release date
So, when can we get our hands on GeForce Now for PC and Mac in the UK? Unfortunately, we've still got a little while to wait. While lucky US gamers should be able to access the cloud-based streaming service from March 2017, everybody else has been given a rather generic window of Spring 2017. We'll update this with more information as soon as we have a solid UK release date.
But what about pricing? It has got to be pricey, right? Unlike the GeForce Now for Shield TV users, GeForce Now for PC and Mac works on a token system which can be good or bad, depending on how often you play. When gamers first sign up to the free service they get 1000 credits for free, with a further 2500 tokens setting back US gamers $25. While we're sure there will be other options available (and in GBP), these are yet to be announced. But how does the token system work?
It's fairly simple – instead of paying a fixed monthly subscription, users only pay for the time that they spend gaming. There will be multiple GPU tiers to choose from with the most expensive using more tokens per minute, while the lower-end GPUs offer better value for money. For example, if users opt for a GTX 1080-powered PC it'll set them back four tokens per minute, or 240 tokens per hour while a GTX 1060-powered PC costs half at two tokens per minute, or 120 tokens per hour.
Sign up for early access
Those interested in testing out the service before general release can do so by heading over to the Nvidia website and clicking "Get Early Access" at the top of the page – the only two requirements are a minimum 25mbps internet connection, and a US resident (unlucky for us in the UK!).
The early access will provide the service to gamers free of charge, allowing Nvidia to road-test the cloud-based game streaming service before it goes live with paying customers in March 2017. No word yet on when the Early Access period will begin, but we'll update this section with new information as soon as we receive it.

I always try to be friendly when I meet people at conferences and stuff — maybe I should stop, it's probably contributing to this horrible "teddy bear" reputation I've been afflicted with — but every once in a while I hear some report, usually from someone with a demonstrated hatred of me already, that I was unkind to some stranger somewhere, and that I'm just generally an awful person to people. I'm always baffled by these complaints, because I honestly do not recall ever blowing someone off.
But Rebecca Watson seems to have the knack for exposing such nonsense. She was recently accused of cruelly rebuffing a couple of fans by going all Heather and Mean Girl on them, and by the claim that there was an email trail showing this behavior. And what does Watson do? She pulls out the email herself, and shows there was no such behavior. Entirely the opposite, actually.
Which means, I think, that by so devastatingly revealing the truth of the story, that she was even more mean.

I was recently at an informal gathering of coworkers, all of whom work at school in some capacity. It was nice to see everyone in summer mode, wearing t-shirts, shorts, flip-flops... sipping on cold drinks and enjoying chips, burgers and dogs, fresh fruit, and key lime pie. The relaxed atmosphere was very pleasant, something I know everyone needed after a long and stressful school year.
However, some of the conversation troubled me. I was disappointed to hear some people talk so poorly about the kids they worked with. I hated hearing some of them preface several negative comments with "these parents". I cringed when one of them - the same one I've seen being downright abusive to children - talked about how much she "couldn't stand them". A few of them even mentioned the many ways they "got away with" stuff all year... I don't even want to go in to detail.
Some of us stayed quiet, listened, maybe raised an eyebrow. We made eye-contact, some of us, and in that mirada said to each other, "look what they're doing to our kids". Some of us, for whom teaching and advocating for children has become our life's work... nos quedamos calladas, we remained silent.
Inwardly, I was giving these gals a piece of my mind; I wish I could tell them to GO elsewhere with their bad attitude and mediocrity. If only I could say out loud that I blame them for the way things have gone sour in this profession. I wanted to say something. I wanted to speak up for the kids and their parents. I wanted to tell them...
And if I had said something... would they have even listened? I can only hope the summer rest will sweeten their outlook a bit. It's not so much that I care about them - I'm thinking about the little kids they'll meet in September.

Turron is a nougat obtained by cooking honey and adding toasted almonds (usually peeled) and egg whites and then kneading it to form a rectangular or round tablet. During its manufacture, Jijona turrón undergoes a chopping process that makes the almond lose part of its oil before going through a softening process in which the mixture is evened out until it achieves the typical golden colour and soft texture that characterise it. Jijona turrón is a food with great energy value, rich in carbohydrates, vegetable fat and protein

If it is impossible for god to lie, does this imply god is not omnipotent?
I read an article that said: for example, there is no contradiction about how Judas died. Yes, John says he went and hanged himself while Mark says he jumped over a cliff. What really happened was that he hanged himself from a branch of a tree that was on the edge of a huge gap and then the branch broke and he fell into the gap. No contradiction there.
I swear it said that. I might have gotten the names wrong but that was the story. I didn't know whether to face palm of laugh my ass of first.
What is, this I don't even...
When the bible gives two different events (such as different ways for Judas to off himself) there will be attempts made to reconcile the two, resulting in the claim that the two different accounts each told differing halves ofthe same story. John says Jesus drove the moneychangers out of the temple on a visit to Jerusalem before the one where he was crucified, the other gospels that he did so on the one and only visit that they mention--the one where he got crucified. So the literalists reconcile this by claiming Jesus did it twice, with John telling of the first time and the other gospels the other time. (More likely John just didn't give a rat's ass about telling the story in chronological order.)
It's a little harder to explain away the fact that John says Jesus was crucified the day before passover and the other three (synoptic) gospels maintained that it happened on the first day of passover.
Hay, I am trying to have a nice day here, can you keep the double think down to a low rumble?
And the correct way to debate an atheist is to put fingers in both ears and yell "la la la la, I can't hear you!"

Yesterday it rained here after a few weeks of very hot and humid summer weather. My evening drive home through the wet, tree-canopied streets made me think of fall, especially since the gray day brought with it cooler temperatures. I love that crisp, cool feeling in the air — even when I know another month of summer remains and the relief is only temporary. It's a tease that gives me hope of relief to come.
I'm feeling a little tease in the air in the fitness industry right now, too. Yes, Bally Total Fitness is facing a mess as of this writing, but exciting changes are happening for other large clubs and that hints of better times ahead for the industry.
For years our industry has been a mystery to Wall Street. That's not surprising considering the only two public companies in the industry until Life Time Fitness went public last year were not pure club companies. Bally Total Fitness was a finance company as much as a health club company (it finances memberships). The Sports Club Co. was as much a real estate company as a health club company (and it will soon return to its private status). So looking at these two companies never gave investors a true picture of the industry.
Then Life Time stepped up and went public last year. Since then, it has performed admirably. In fact, a recent Credit Suisse First Boston's July report rates Life Time Fitness as "outperform" and increases its target price from $32 to $40. The company said Life Time Fitness helped to "legitimize the fitness industry as a whole." The report's three authors also called it "one of the most exciting growth concepts" in the universe that they cover.
However, private equity firms also hesitated to plunge into our industry because they felt uncertain of an exit strategy. Last year's sale of Gold's Gym combined with the recent sale of 24 Hour Fitness should help put those fears to rest since they showed that a profitable exit does exist in this industry.
Another aid in alleviating fears is the 8 percent compound annual growth rate of our industry — a growth rate that is much higher than a lot of other industries, according to an interview with an industry expert. And a recent report by Industry Insights (conducted for IHRSA) found that revenue at a dozen leading U.S. health club companies rose on average by 4.3 percent in the first quarter of 2005 compared to the same period in 2004. The mean total revenue for the clubs was $13.23 million. All of this combined makes buying into the fitness business all the more appealing.
With that knowledge in hand, several former potential bidders for 24 Hour Fitness walked away from that sale straight to a new prospect in Town Sports International, which announced last month that it was seeking a buyer. They may soon have plenty of clubs to choose from. Rumors have floated around for months about a sale of Sport & Health. Other rumors center on a sale of Spectrum Clubs and Wellbridge.
It is a fertile time in the health club industry. Investors who could have cared less about the industry in the past are taking a hard look at it now. If this holds up, fall could be an even more exciting time for the industry. Of course, October will bring with it Bally's restated financials (we hope), and that could remind us of the harsh realities of the winter to come. Still, the industry is showing maturation beyond Bally in businesses that are pure health club companies. So regardless of Bally's outcome, the industry is showing signs it can weather winter just fine.

Welcome to UsingEnglish.com, Denis!
Nice to have our first true Gooner here (apart from me, that is).
Dennis BergkampGuest
When writing a letter I have ended it:
....please do not hesitate to contact John or me.
Is this correct, or should it be: John or myself.
or: Me or John
or: myself or John?
Welcome to UsingEnglish.com, Denis!
Nice to have our first true Gooner here (apart from me, that is).
you have to use (me).
WelcomeOriginally Posted by Dennis Bergkamp
First, I agree with Reemy's post: The object pronoun me is the correct choice in that context.
People tend to think the reflexive form myself sounds more "elegant"--probably because they hear it in formal contexts, where the speaker uses it, albeit incorrectly, to mean, "me, personally".
(Note, the symbol * below represents ungrammaticality).
1. On behalf of my wife and *myself, we would like to thank you for attending our daughter's wedding.
Correction: my wife and me (personally) ~ we
2. The boss asked Max and *myself to have dinner with her.
Correction: Max and me (personally) ~ us
3. The family is doing fine, and as for *myself, well, I'm doing great, too.
Correction: . . . , and as for me (personally). . .
4. The matter concerns only you and *myself.
Correction: => only you and me (pesonally) ~ us
In terms of meaning, or semantics, myself means, me, personally, so it sounds OK to use it, but in terms of syntax, or how words function in a sentence, an object pronoun is required, so me is the correct choice.
Reflexive pronouns refer back to the subject, so if the subject and the object are one and the same, then use -self, but if they are not one and the same, and a reflexive is used, then the meaning it expresses is somewhat odd:
a. I'll do it myself. => She'll do it *myself.b. He shaved himself. => He shaved *itself.c. You should contact *myself. => You should contact me.
Second, when it comes the the order of the words, polite usage dictates that the other person's name should come before yours, but that's not to say the opposite order is unacceptable or ungrammatical. Both d. and e. below are fine.
d. Please do not hesitate to contact John or me.e. Please do not hesitate to contact me or John.

Just clicked over here from your other blog because I'm always looking for easy recipes :o) I have never heard of Poppyseed Chicken, but it sure does sound yummy. It also seems like a recipe that could be "downsized" which is nice because I'm just one person and cannot bring myself to eat the same thing for three days in a row! I'm excited to see what other yummy recipes I will find here :o)
Praying for your family and baby Harper.

I have this recipe as well but mine calls for oriental or fried rice flavored Rice A Roni mix. You prepare it according to the box directions, then place it in the bottom of the 13x9 pan, then add to it the rest of the recipe that you have. Makes it an even simpler one dish meal. Enjoy!

Hi Kelly, I have been reading your blog for awhile...I made this poppyseed chicken tonight....YUMMY!! We are in Florida and have never had it, but obviously we have been deprived!

Hi Kelly! This is a old favorite family recipe! We have many pictures of me eating this in my high chair! We call it ritz chicken and add peas and carrots instead of poppyseeds but it is just the same!

Our church serves dinner each Wed. night before church and this is one of the regular dishes that they make. You can tell it is a favorite among all of us because they usually run out and the fellowship hall is packed! I made it a couple of weeks ago and it had to be poppyseed"less" chicken because I had no poppy seeds...but it still turned out fantastic!! A classic comfort food!

Made this for the first time this week. A tip for ladies who like to keep things REALLY SIMPLE: I used 3 cans of Tyson Chunk White Chicken instead of boiling breasts and shredding etc. It still turns out really good, and saves a lot of time! Also served over angel hair pasta b/c we like to eat everything over pasta at our house!!! Angie

Silsbee athlete's final moments were an effort to keep a promise
In his final moments, Jamarcus Myers was trying to keep a promise.
An outdoorsman, the Silsbee senior wanted to go on a trail ride Saturday night in Kountze. His grandmother had approved, as long as he made it back in time for church Sunday morning. A man fiercely loyal to faith, family and friends, Myers agreed.
Time stood still
Elijah Miller sat motionless Sunday morning in the middle of the floor at Crazy Jose's in Lumberton.
A text Miller received earlier that morning asking if Myers was with him proved to be the first clue that something was amiss.
"I was with him 95 percent of the time," Miller said. But this was part of the other 5 percent.
Shortly before 9 a.m. Sunday, Myers was driving his 2001 Ford pickup truck eastbound on FM 418, just west of Silsbee, when he attempted to pass a vehicle in a no-passing zone and was hit head-on by a Dodge truck. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The two Silsbee seniors were going to find an apartment and be roommates after graduation. Myers was 48 days away from receiving his high school diploma.
Miller said Myers wanted to attend the Lamar Institute of Technology and get his degree in Process Operating Technology. The plan was for Myers to work at his dad's shop in Houston during the summer to help cover the costs.
"We had thought of everything," Miller said.
After learning of his friend and teammate's death, Miller couldn't function at work. He was allowed to go home.
The pair had spent two years together in the trenches of the Silsbee defensive line – brothers in arms. Every Friday they would go to Buffalo Wild Wings and stay until it closed, just talking about anything - faith, friends, the future.
"I'm really glad he was part of my life," Miller said. "His morals, his way of living, it rubbed off on me. Being around him made me want to be a better person. Now that he's gone, I feel like I have to be that person."

A candelight vigil for Myers will be held at at 7:30 p.m. Thursday on the football field at Silsbee High School

Report: Next Ford F-150 Potentially Delayed Due to Aluminum IssuesPosted in News on December 12, 2013
Those dreaming of a lightweight, aluminum-paneled Ford F-150 have been hit with some heavy news. According to a report from Truth About Cars, citing suppliers close to the matter, the launch of the next 2015 Ford F-150 could be delayed by as much as three months due to aluminum forming issues. Apparently suppliers' shipments have failed to meet specifications, causing issues in forming the material; so much for the on-sale deadline of Memorial Day. Keeping it simple, the aluminum alloy supplied to Ford was hard to form due to its elastic modulus. If any of the properties are off even by a little bit, it impacts the entire project. Are the body panels on your new truck a big deal to you? You bet.
Alcoa, one of the aluminum suppliers, responded that "Alcoa does not have any issues with its automotive production lines."
Seemingly not without its risks and kinks, especially for such a high volume vehicle, switching to aluminum body panels was deemed advantageous for Ford because of the overall F-150 weight reduction of about 700 pounds, or 15 percent. Why does this matter? CAFE standards. With increasingly stringent fuel economy standards looming in the near future, weight reduction is becoming more crucial for overall fuel efficiency on the road. Another benefit would be improved maneuverability and handling. Although well intentioned and beneficial, step one for Ford will be getting these panels on the trucks.

You better read this, slowly and carefully. It explains a lot of what the rail authority intends to do, and why it's illegal. These are Mark's words, taken verbatim from his web-site, not mine. It means that there is still some hope that justice will prevail. I hope that he's right.
"We cannot expect people to have respect for law and order until we teach respect to those we have entrusted to enforce those laws." Hunter S. Thompson
Following the appropriation of rail bonds by the state legislature this past July, the California High Speed Rail Authority (CHSRA) began adding highly paid executives to its staff and embarked on a spending spree to advance the rail project. Against the formidable forces of the state stand two Kings County farmers, their lawyer, and the Law.
CHSRA was chartered in 1996 [Note 1] and tasked with "preparation of a high-speed intercity rail plan similar to California's former freeway plan and designate an entity with stable and predictable funding sources to implement the plan "[emphasis added]. In spite of failing at this task for 16 years, the Authority now seeks to begin construction early next year in what the farmers' lawsuit contends is in violation of the voter approved Proposition 1A ( "the Law").
The farmers' lawsuit, moving forward in the Superior Court of Sacramento with a trial scheduled for mid-2013, contends CHSRA, Governor Brown, and other state officials have acted lawlessly in their actions leading up to the appropriation of the rail bonds this past July and seeks to constrain the state and its officers to acting within the law when they write the required updated funding plan prior to actual release of the rail bonds.
The gist of the farmers lawsuit is that Proposition 1A requires (1) the high speed rail system be built in usable high speed rail segments "suitable and ready for high speed train operation" [Note 2 ], and (2) a certified funding plan be written showing commitments for all funds needed to complete the usable segment and a schedule for receipt of those funds [Note 3 ]. Furthermore, Proposition 1A makes no provision for funding the partial construction of a usable segment. Yet that is exactly what the state and its agencies are planning to do in the Central Valley.
The farmers' complaints concern the two funding plans mandated by Proposition 1A. The first funding plan was a requirement needed to obtain "appropriation" of bond proceeds into the state budget [Note 4]. The second funding plan, with criteria very similar to the first plan, is required prior to "committing" any bond proceeds to begin construction activities [Note 5]. The plaintiffs' case makes the following points regarding the lawlessness of a planned expenditure of $6.1 billion to build 130 miles of non-electrified track though the Central Valley.
Funding Plan Deficiencies
• "The absence of electrification, HSR-compatible signaling, and any electric trains whatsoever, means that the Authority cannot possibly make the MANDATORY CERTIFICATION (in its funding plans) that the 130 miles of Central Valley track will be suitable and ready for high speed train operation ".
• "Proposition 1A does not permit the building of a "partial" usable segment; nor does it permit a "phased approach", that is, building first a 130 mile conventional rail system, with a HSR system to follow at a later time; such a "phased" system is not permitted under Proposition 1A; yet plaintiffs allege that this is exactly what defendants intend to approve, authorize, and illegally expend bond funds upon" when they approve the second funding plan.
• "In its April, 2012 Revised Business Plan, the Authority describes its version of its "usable segment" (the Initial Operating Segment or IOS) as running from Merced to the San Fernando Valley, a distance of about 300 miles. The "first part" of that so-called usable segment is the 130 mile conventional rail portion from south of Merced to north of Bakersfield [Note 6], and the intent of defendants is that $6.1 billion will be spent on that conventional rail section (which is not itself a usable segment)."
• "For the usable segment identified by the Authority, running from Merced to the San Fernando Valley, the defendants have no funding committed or available to ensure completion of that segment. The defendants indicate that the entire 300 mile section from Merced to the Los Angeles Basin (San Fernando Valley) will cost an ADDITIONAL $20 BILLION*, on top of the $6.1 Billion for the 130 miles of conventional rail that will initially be built within the 300 mile segment."
*The number is misstated in the lawsuit on the low side. The actual number is $25.3 BILLION. [Note 7]
• "Plaintiffs allege that there is no funding committed, available, or in place, for that entire 300 mile segment. There is no private funding, no further federal funding, and no state funding that is, or can be, committed to this entire 300 mile segment." [Note 8]
• "The 'adequate funding' requirements of Proposition 1A, perhaps the most important of all the restrictions, will therefore be violated if funding is permitted for the 130 mile project from the proceeds of Proposition 1A, and the entire 300 mile Central Valley project is therefore ineligible for Prop.1A funding, due to the lack of the additional $20 Billion in funding needed to complete the last 170 miles." [Note 9] [Note 10].
• "Plaintiffs further allege that the allegations of this paragraph concerning inadequate funding and violations of Proposition 1A are supported by numerous studied analyses by respected state agencies, including the LAO [Note 11] and the State Auditor's Office [Note 12], and by the Peer Review Committee." [Note 13]
To all this the state counters that the 130 miles will be usable by Amtrak. In an even flimsier justification, the Legislative Counsel advised democratic State Senators Simitian, Lowenthal and DeSaulnier that the 130 miles of track might be deemed suitable and ready for high speed rail service because the only component being built , the rail component, is being built to high speed track specifications. In other words, it will be suitable and ready when electrification is added, trains are purchased and it is finished. [Note 14] All three senators read this opinion and then voted against appropriation of the rail bonds.
Environmental Clearance Deficiencies
• "Plaintiffs allege that it was ILLEGAL for the Authority to approve (the first) Funding Plan in advance of required environmental approvals [Note 15] and certifications and that it was ILLEGAL for the authority to submit said Funding Plan to the Legislature, and that it would be illegal for defendants to authorize or approve any funding for the Central Valley project from Proposition 1A bond funds. The Central Valley project is accordingly INELIGIBLE for Proposition 1A bond funding/financing."
Travel Time of 2 Hours 40 Minutes from LA to SF
• "Plaintiffs allege that documents from defendant Authority (recently produced pursuant to a public records request) indicate that the trip will take a minimum of three hours (express) and longer with local stops. Defendant Authority has further indicated that it has no written documentation whatsoever to support their claim that the trip will be made in 2 hours, 40 minutes."
• This is in clear violation of Proposition 1A [Note 16] and precludes funding of the Central Valley project from Proposition 1A bond funds. The Central Valley project is accordingly INELIGIBLE to receive Proposition 1A bond funding by reason of this violation."
Illegal Expenditures are Already Occurring
• "The Authority has already begun sending Requests for Proposals (RFP's) to contractors/subcontractors in order to obtain bids from such entities for the CONSTRUCTION of the first portion of the Central Valley Project; more than $900,000 of public funds has already been spent by the Authority in connection with preparation of those RFPs. These RFPs are directly related to CONSTRUCTION work on the Central Valley project to be bid on and performed, and are thereby capital expenses for construction-related work . Such construction-related expenditures are an illegal expenditure of Proposition 1A funds that has ALREADY OCCURRED." Such Proposition 1A funds cannot be committed or expended until the second funding plan has been issued and approved. [Note 17]
• "In connection with its construction program, the Authority has committed/obligated itself to reimburse, in an amount up to $2 million each, the bidding costs of any qualified contractor which is unsuccessful in its bid for the contract. Alternatively, in the event the Authority cancels that RFP, each qualified bidder will be reimbursed its costs in preparing its bid up to $2 million each. Defendant Authority has made an IRREVOCABLE FINANCIAL COMMITMENT of Proposition 1A bond funds. Again, this type of commitment cannot legally be made until after the second funding plan is approved."
An Important Item Missing from the Farmers' Lawsuit
In the spring of 2007 the Authority began deliberating over how to break up the statewide high speed rail system into manageable pieces so that a Business Plan and Funding Plan could be developed. At their May 2007 meeting the Authority approved as Phase 1 by a 5 to 2 vote the San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim section of the statewide system. The meeting minutes and supporting documents , still available on the Authority's website, reveal the reasons for this choice. Then Executive Director Morshed recommended this first phase selection because this segment would (1) be most likely to attract outside investment (for the completion of the statewide system linking to Sacramento and San Diego); (2) have an operating surplus; and (3) would be long enough to develop a train system that could travel at high speeds. [Note 18]
In other May 2007 documents the San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim segment is referred to as the "starter segment" or the "backbone" of the statewide system. Never is there a reference to developing a Funding Plan or Business Plan for a sub-section of this segment. The Authority's documents speak of funding being an issue and certainly they would have liked to have been able to start with a smaller "starter segment", but anything smaller would evidently not have met Mr. Morshed's three criteria, all of which are mandated by the law. Any reasonable person reading the May 2007 Meeting Minutes on Project Phasing and the supporting documents leading up to that meeting; the May 2007 Phasing Plan [Note 19], Financing Plan Report [Note 20], and Financing Plan Presentation [Note 21] can only conclude that the Authority envisioned the entire San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim "starter segment" as the first "usable segment" meeting the requirements of the Law. If one is still not convinced of this fact, then additional evidence is found in the 2008 Business Plan [Note 22] that presented one financing plan for the starter segment and concluded with these words.
"This Business Plan demonstrates how the system's backbone link (Los Angeles/Anaheim to San Francisco) can be financed."
With almost no funds to build its "starter segment" the Authority now has the audacity to (1) label the 130 mile Central Valley non-electrified Amtrak segment the "backbone" of the system; (2) claim that a future segment that extends the "backbone" north to Merced and south to San Fernando via a Metrolink connection will generate an operating surplus; and (3) assert that private investors will line up to fund completion of the "starter segment"….San Francisco to Los Angeles/Anaheim.
The Authority's claims about their project seem to mutate to match their level of funds and become more outrageous with each new plan. One can only hope that the Law will be upheld and the project halted until the legally required funding plan materializes.

Home in on a defenseless opposing player and make contact above the shoulders?
You're ejected.
That's just the latest in a series of rules changes that the NCAA has made in recent years to try to safeguard against brain injuries in football.
Tweaking with the rules has worked well for the NCAA over the last few seasons, said neurologist Dr. Brian Hainline, the NCAA's newly appointed Chief Medical Officer.
"We changed the kickoff rule last year, and when you analyze injuries, there was a 50 percent reduction of concussion just from that," Hainline said. "Just by putting the kickoff five yards closer (on the 35-yard line) and having touchbacks go five yards closer the other way, to the 25 rather than the 20-yard line."
The NCAA is also pleased with the results of a rule that requires players who lose their helmets to sit out the next play – Hainline said the incidence of helmets popping off decreased dramatically.
"So you look at the rules, try to set behavior and hope you have an impact," Hainline said.
Hainline is the NCAA's first ever-Chief Medical Officer. He was hired in January to head the NCAA's new Sports Science Institute, and his presence itself would seem to indicate that the governing body of college sports is intensifying its efforts to keep student-athletes safe.
"I think we're leading the way in being proactive in concussion management and researching the prevalence of concussion," said David Klossner, the NCAA's Director of Health and Safety.
Brain injuries in sports
Overview: The trauma from sports' brain injuries
Calkins: Let's call brain injuries what they are
Doctor suggests concussion prevention
More work needed to prevent, treat prep concussions
NCAA tries to prevent brain injuries
Youth football conundrum not easy to tackle
The concussion alarm in girls soccer
It's not all about CTE and head traumas
Still, rules changes and new appointments aside, how effective are the NCAA's current concussion management policies?
The NCAA has a set of concussion management guidelines in its sports medicine handbook, and it also requires each of its member institutions to maintain a concussion management plan.
"If schools don't have a plan in place, it's an institutional violation. In the plan, we have minimum standards," Klossner said. "Athletes who show signs and symptoms (of concussion) have to be removed from play. Athletes cannot return to play that day unless a team physician clears them."
But what happens if a school violates its own concussion management plan?
What happens if a player goes down on a hard hit, shows what appears to be symptoms of concussion, but is allowed to return to the game anyway?
The NCAA has traditionally taken the stance that it's not their responsibility to enforce each school's concussion management plan.
"Each individual institution is responsible for their healthcare and how it's handled," Klossner said. "We as a national office aren't looking at those from the sideline or on TV. That's best handled by the university. If they believe something was inappropriate, it's up to the school to handle it."
But is that enough?
Hainline concedes that the NCAA might have to examine the possibility of broadening its enforcement scope to include issues such as concussion management.
"That's a whole new area. Enforcement has always been about amateurism issues," Hainline said. "So one of the discussions going forward with regard to health and safety matters is 'How do you legislate that?' From an enforcement point of view.
"That's an active discussion. I don't know what the answer is at this point."

By Los Angeles News Group editorial board
It will be good to watch Robert Rizzo, Bell's crooked former city manager, go to prison next year. His no contest plea to 69 felony counts of misappropriating public money, perjury, falsifying public documents and other crimes will save L.A. County money and court time.
But it's too bad we won't get to see prosecutors dissect, in a public trial, the ways in which Rizzo defrauded Bell's residents. The particulars might have proved instructive for other cities' leaders, residents, taxpayers, watchdogs and even the press.
Rizzo will be sentenced in March. Prosecutors said he will likely get 10 to 12 years in prison. His lawyer said he'll probably serve five or six years.
James Spertus, Rizzo's attorney, said his client is sorry for what he did an wants to make amends, and that he will probably be required to pay between $1 million and $3.2 million in restitution to the city of Bell. Considering he rigged in own salary to pull in $1.5 million the final year he worked there — and he "worked" for Bell for 17 years — that's not much; he was accused of swindling $5 million from the city's taxpayers. Current Bell council members scoffed at the idea that Rizzo wants to make amends.
Spertus claimed that Rizzo's former assistant city manager, Angela Spaccia, was actually the mastermind behind Bell's corruption, and that Rizzo is prepared to testify against her in her trial.
It's difficult to believe that Rizzo was just going along with his corrupt assistant. Still, perhaps Spaccia's trial will be the one that offers some object lessons for participants and observers of local government.

That's Not A New Hit Song You Just Downloaded -- It's Japan's Nuclear Secrets
from the who-hired-that-guy? dept
While IT managers may not see the importance of security software for themselves, you would think they would be a little more careful with things like interns and contractors. Not so, apparently. Over in Japan, a lot of people are not happy after discovering that a lot of classified technical data on nuclear power plants was leaked onto the internet by a contractor using a computer with a file sharing app that was apparently left open to sharing everything on the machine. First off, what kind of nuclear plant contractor is putting a file sharing app on his work laptop? Also, the article notes that the laptop was infested with viruses, but later seems to blame the file sharing app rather than the viruses -- so it's not entirely clear what the viruses have to do with this story. Update: Another article on this story notes that it was the virus that made the material available via the file sharing app. It also notes that the guy was using his personal computer -- and somehow this was allowed. It also details the information leaked, including inspection data, photographs and names of inspectors, as well as where they stayed when they did the inspections. No matter what, you have to wonder why the guy was allowed to use his personal computer or to use any computer for this data that hadn't been checked first for viruses or other vulnerabilities.

he news should come as no surprise to anyone: The government program to cover those who cannot get health insurance because of a preexisting medical condition is out of money. After just two years.
And for anyone who isn't already signed up in the plan, it's too late.
Those who trusted the government to get this right were living a fantasy. The truth about government run entitlement programs is this: It will always cost more money than is advertised and it will be run with great ineffectiveness.

Leonardo DiCaprio & Erin Heatherton: Biking Twosome!
