Of all the things Barack Obama ever expected to be during the course of his life, a television insurance salesman is probably not one of them.
But that's the role he took on Monday morning in a Rose Garden speech pitching insurance through the Affordable Care Act's online marketplaces and acknowledging for the first time just how troubled the website to access them is. His remarks failed to address many of the specific concerns raised by reporters and technologists about the gargantuan Healthcare.gov website, and he and provided no new information about what went wrong or how, specifically, it will be fixed.
Instead, his message was more like an infomercial designed for the general public: We know there are problems with the site and we are on it. Meanwhile, we're offering a great product that will save you money, so keep on trying, even if it's a little frustrating.
Obama was introduced by Janice Baker, the first woman to enroll through the exchanges in Delaware and owner of the Heavenly Hound Hotel dog kennel in Selbyville. She said she got insured after making "a number of frustrating attempts."
That was the same word Obama used to describe his own feeling about the website. "There's no sugarcoating it. The website has been too slow. People have getting stuck during the application process," the president said. "And I think it's fair to say that nobody's more frustrated by that than I am."
But, he continued, "the product is good" and while "there's no excuse for the problems ... these problems are getting fixed."
He also described a letter from a Pennsylvania man that "pretty much sums my message today: Yes, the website really stank for the first week. But instead of paying $1,600 per month for a group insurance plan, we have a plan that will only cost us $692 a month, savings of $900 per month."
The man was "frustrated by the website. But he's feeling a little less frustrated once he found out that he was saving 900 bucks a month on his health insurance," the president said.
"The website's going to get fixed," Obama assured. "We are doing everything we can possibly do to get the websites working better, faster, sooner. We got people working overtime, 24/7, to boost capacity and address the problems. Experts from some of America's top private-sector tech companies, who've, by the way, have seen things like this happen before, they want it to work," he explained, in the most specific section of his remarks about what is happening to address the site.
"They're reaching out," he said. "They're offering to send help. We've had some of the best IT talent in the entire country join the team. And we're well into a tech surge to fix the problem."
Obama also reminded listeners that "the Affordable Care Act is not just a website"—it's a set of policy changes that alter how insurance is regulated and what sort of coverage is available. And he pitched the call center people can used to enroll if they can't get the website to work, or if they just prefer to use the phone.
"We've also added more staff to the call centers where you can apply for insurance over the phone .... But keep in mind, these call centers are already up and running. And you can get your questions answered by real people 24 hours a day in 150 different languages," Obama said.
"The phone number for these call centers is 1-800-318-2596," he continued. "I want to repeat that: 1-800-318-2596. Wait times have averaged less than one minute so far on the call centers, although I admit that the wait times probably might go up a little bit now that I've read the number out loud on national television."
The only thing missing was the classic infomercial promise of operators standing by.

Thinner, Stronger, Lighter Cable Insulation and Jacketing
DuPont specialty elastomers support strong and lasting connections from data transmission and electrical applications to bridges and robotics.
Insulated and jacketed cables can now be made thinner and stronger, using a range of DuPont cable insulation materials.
From enduring extremes of heat and cold to resisting a variety of chemicals, including oil and grease, better-performing insulation can mean better connections. DuPont insulated cable and jacketing materials are halogen-free and flame-retardant, and can provide strength in thinner layers for constant flexing applications.
The Right Materials for Each Project
DuPont application resources worldwide work closely with wire and cable manufacturers to help them identify the best solution. Our wide range of extruded thermoplastic and thermoset products and grades for cable insulation include:
Thermoplastic Materials
Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer
- Uses: Copper insulation and jacketing; fiber optics; off-shore umbilical; low voltage; constant movement applications.
- Low-temperature flexibility (-70°C, -70ºF) and higher-temperature rating (125°C, 257ºF) vs. PP, PE, PVC; coil cords (retractile cords);Underwriter Laboratories (UL) appliance wire rated (AWM) to 105°C (221ºF) and 125°C (257ºF) UL.
- Corona-resistant.
- Excellent performance in oil, grease and other chemicals.
- Halogen-free.
Zytel® nylons
- Uses: Wire insulation —protective thin outer sheath to replace less durable thermoplastics used on wire insulation.
- Zytel® LCPA as a replacement for Nylon 12 and Nylon 11 products.
- Halogen-free.
Thermoset Elastomers
- Uses: Jacketing for copper cables used in power, mining, oil well, nuclear and military equipment.
- Low-temperature flexibility (-55°C, -55ºF) and high-temperature rating (90°C, 194ºF).
- Excellent resistance to water, oil grease, ozone weathering, and fungus degradation.
- Uses: Copper insulation and jacketing in low-voltage applications.
- Low-temperature flexibility (-20°C, -20ºF) and higher-temperature rating (200°C, 392ºF).
- Excellent chemical resistance and low permeation rates in fuels, hydrocarbons.
- Uses: Jacketing for copper cables used in automotive ignition and transmission wire; control and signal cables in automotive, railway and military; low-voltage applications.
- Low-temperature flexibility (-35°C, -35ºF) and higher-temperature capabilities (160°C, 320ºF).
- Corona-resistant.
- Excellent performance in oil, grease and other chemicals.
- Non-Halogenated Flame-retardant Compounds.
Processing Aids/Additives
- Viton® FreeFlowTM – processing aid for polypropylene and polyethylene, eliminates melt fracture and die buildup, improves surface quality and output rates.
- Hytrel® — additive to PVC— provides improved low-temperature flexibility, improved flex/fatigue properties, and improved low-temperature impact.
Slim, Flexible Strength
Hytrel® thermoplastic polyester elastomer is often chosen to provide a slimmer profile for insulated cables. This can support weight and cost reduction, easier routing through tight spaces, and a tighter bend radius.
Commercial applications using Hytrel® range from small appliances to drawbridge cables. The flex-fatigue properties of Hytrel® make it a material of choice for constant movement applications, such as robotics, coil cords, sensors and other industrial uses.
Hytrel® has also been used for decades in transatlantic fiber-optic cables and other off-shore applications.
Durable Nylon Solutions
Zytel® polyamide can be extruded over PVC and other plastics as a thin, durable outer layer of insulation. Zytel® LCPA has been effectively used as a drop-in replacement for Nylon 11 and Nylon 12 in industrial applications, where flexibility and chemical resistance needs cannot be met with traditional Nylon 6 and Nylon 6,6 offerings.
Reduced Die Build-Up
Viton® FreeFlowTM is a high-performance additive used to help reduce die build-up during the manufacture of cable insulation made from polyethylene, EPDM, and other olefins. Die build-up deposits typically impair production rate and surface quality, and both can be minimized when using Viton® FreeFlow™.
Improved Low-Temperature Flexibility
Certain grades of Hytrel® can be added to PVC to provide a significant improvement in low-temperature flexibility. Hytrel® also improves the flex fatigue and low-temperature impact properties of PVC.
Versatile, Cost-Effective Solutions
Neoprene polychloroprene has been used for jacketing cables since the 1930s for its many advantages over natural rubber jacketing, including resistance to heat, weather, ozone, flame, oil, hydrocarbon fluids, and a broad range of other chemicals. It's also tough and resists cracking and abrasion, extending the life of the cable. Neoprene remains a tested, cost-effective choice for military, nuclear, oil well and mining cables.
Superior Thermal and Chemical Resistance
Compounds made with Viton® fluoroelastomer deliver durable performance in low-voltage insulation and jacketing, since it's resistant to high temperatures and aggressive fluids. Viton® compounds perform excellently in gasoline, diesel, biodiesel, and other aggressive fluids.
Low-Smoke Emission
Compounds made with Vamac® ethylene acrylic elastomer are halogen-free and can be used for low-smoke, flame-retardant cable jackets. Because low-smoke cables help reduce emissions during combustion, they're often used in minimally vented areas.
Overall, DuPont offers a comprehensive range of plastics and elastomers available for consistent performance, protection and cable longevity.
Neoprene for Construction
DuPont™ Neoprene for construction is used in buildings, bridges and other projects around the world, for applications from window seals to water resistant membranes.
High Flex Cable for Bridges
DuPont collaborated with Northwire on a high flex cable application using Hytrel® for bridge lifts.
*The Viton® fluoroelastomer business is now part of The Chemours Company. Visit chemours.com for more information.

"Villers Guilty
Jury in the Trial of the Prisoner Villers at Jamestown Finds Him Guilty of Murder.
Punishment is Fixed by the Jury At Imprisonment in the Penitentiary for Life.
Stay of Proceedings is Granted Until February 1, When a New Trial Will be Asked.
Found Guilty.The jury in the case of Martin J. Villers, on trial for the murder of August Tromer, today returned a verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree and fixed his punishment at imprisonment for life. A stay of proceedings was granted to February 1, and a new trial will probably be asked.
The trial of the case was completed yesterday afternoon, and the jury went out this morning after having heard the arguments of counsel. The verdict in the case was not unexpected, as the circumstantial evidence against the man was strong, and his record probably told against him. The case has been one of the most peculiar in the history of the state in that the prisoner was serving a sentence of ten years in the pen when the evidence of the murder of the man whom the jury decides to have been his victim, was discovered and he was then removed from the pen to be tried for the greater crime. It was peculiar also that Villers was serving a sentence for a murderous assault on the wife of his victim when the body of her husband was discovered and he was put on trial for murder.
The trial of the Villers murder case was concluded in court at Jamestown yesterday afternoon, and the attorneys made their addresses to the jury. The case has been tried rapidly, and little time has been wasted. The Jamestown Alert says on the demeanor of the prisoner on the witness stand:
On the cross-examination Villers made a fine witness. His answers were ready, sharp and crisp and often times he had to wait for Attorney Guthrie to conclude his question before he could ejaculate a denial. Questions requiring a simple yes or no for an answer, either one of which would have compromised the witness, were answered promptly, but evasively and in such a manner as to throw from him an imputation of wrong doing. Throughout the five hours he was on the witness stand the prisoner sat quietly in his chair and only once did he show great excitement.
When Attorney Guthrie asked the witness if he remembered the burning of a hog pen in this city the night of Nov. 5th, when Mr. Villers was here, also that he was seen by Mrs. Cooper standing in front of the engine house when the fire alarm was turned in, the prisoner straightened in his seat, became greatly excited, the blood rushed to his face and he grasped the arms of the chair a little harder. When charged with the death of Peter Sterling, who is supposed to have worked for Mr. Villers that fall and with having thrown the body into Josiah Pierson's pig pen after having robbed the body of a large roll of money which Sterling was seen to have late that night and then set fire to the structure burning to body with the hogs, the witness kept his head, and only raising his voice a little emphatically denied all knowledge of the affair. He said he did not know of the fire until the next morning, he didn't "know the man" and bracing himself seemed to defy the state to prove him guilty of the crime.
When asked where he had been for the last three years the witness stated, "I was in Valley City, here, at LaMoure and Bismarck and back again." This made the audience laugh and the judge rapped for order. The witness said he had been thirty-two months in Bismarck when he was "working for the warden of the state penitentiary."
I've got to say that after transcribing this article I'm stunned. I didn't read it before transcribing. I didn't really think that there would be anything new, but to accuse him of another murder during cross-examination. I've heard nothing about the murder of Peter Sterling, although you can bet I'll be looking into it. Was the prosecution just trying to throw him off? Most certainly. What gets me though is the fire regarding the disposal of the body of Josiah Pierson. It's a similar m.o. to what he was found guilty of doing with Mrs. Tromer...but she lived.
Oh, well, all that's left is to transcribe the court documents. They are (for the most part) more difficult to read, but you can be sure I'll be setting on them in the near future. I was hoping to find something to tell me why Villers would have done something like this, if he did at all, but it just seems like the more I look, the more I find additional questions. Gotta love family history...even if you don't love some of the things the people in it did!

text: Guys...I'm a KC Chiefs fan on FB & someone posted about Christian Okoye. My beloved #35! I'm 48, so many of your younger guys might not completely understand. When Marty came to town, I was hopeful. The mid 70's & really most of the 80's was a complete joke. Then, we had Marty, Steve DeBerg, Christian Okoye & the BEST offensive line (of all-time IMHO) Our defensive was loaded as well. That 1990 playoff game against Miami was when I simply brokedown. I was 25 years old & I cried like a baby outside my parents home. Dave Szott (his rookie season) was called for holding, as Christian brought the ball to the 8 yard-line. Nick Lowey lined-up for a 45+ yard field goal & was "dead-on" & was short by less then a foot. I'll never forget that game. Please do me a favor & watch this Okoye video that will take 5 minutes of you life. He was a raw football player & made the best of what was given to him. Top 10 power running-backs of all-time IMHO. He only lasted 6 years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aP03GFffXbs


text: Reports from our lone resident were that the shower was warm in the mild November weather –but not long lasting and hot. I'm not sure if a long hot shower is even possible with a solar shower in November (average temps are in the low 50's in the day), but it would be good to know if using the black hose is a better or worse strategy then using a black water tank. Anyone out there have any good answers for this?

This is part of a series of articles based on the program of the upcoming PennBDS conference. Check out this landing page to find out more.
Fortunately, the next item on the PennBDS agenda is the topic BDS 101, something I've written about in the Divest This Manual, although not something that's appeared as a separate piece on this site.
No doubt the BDSers gathering at U Penn have their own run down of BDS basics, placing themselves at the center of a heroic struggle against titanic, sinister forces that are trying to suppress them. But here on planet earth, BDS has a specific origin, goals and track record, all of which are at odds with how this "movement" likes to portray itself.
The following is actually an extract from a set of responses to frequently-asked questions (FAQ) regarding BDS. As ever, comments are open to anyone who disagrees with this assessment:
What is the origin of BDS campaigns?
While economic warfare (such as the Arab boycott of Israel which began in 1921) has been part of the Arab-Israeli conflict since before Israel became a state, the current Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) program pushed by anti-Israel groups to try to delegitimize the Jewish state began in 2001.
The goal of BDS is to "brand" Israel as the new Apartheid South Africa (South Africa also having been the target of economic boycotts and sanction). While this strategy was used sporadically after the fall of Apartheid in the 1990s, it was only after the 2001 Durban I "anti-racism" conference (which degenerated into an orgy of Israel bashing) that various anti-Israel organizations focused on BDS as their tactic of choice. This, by the way, is the origin of the BDS "movement" (not the 2005 call from "Palestinian Civil Society" the BDSers will tell you inspired their political project).
What are the goals of BDS campaigns?
Because the desire to punish Israel economically represents such a small minority of public opinion, the goal of BDS activists is to attach their message (that Israel is an "Apartheid state" worthy of economic punishment) to a well known institution such as a university, church or city. This allows them to "punch above their weight" by declaring their anti-Israel message is not simply emanating from a small, non-representative minority, but rather represents the policy of a respected organization.
Another goal is to infuse a campus or other institution with their Israel=Apartheid messaging, attempting to make this slander stick, even if boycott or divestment motions themselves get defeated (as they have been, time and time again).
OK, I get that boycotts and sanctions always indicate political disapproval of someone, but what's the story with divestment? Don't people "invest" and "divest" (i.e., buy and sell) stock every day?
This is an extremely important and relevant question since BDS activists are responsible for many false claims related to divestment.
As you note, divestment is simply the selling of an investment, such as a stock, bond or mutual fund. Every time you see someone shouting "Sell!" on the floor of the stock exchange, for example, divestment is taking place.
Divest-from-Israel campaigns fall into the category of political divestment. Rather than selling investments for economic reasons (such as fear that share price will go down in the future), political divestment involves selling an investment due to a political disagreement with the company or country the investment benefits.
This is an important distinction since, without a public explanation or announcement that investments are being sold for political, rather than economic reasons, political divestment cannot be said to have taken place.
I've heard that divestment campaigns are very big on college campuses. Have any schools divested from Israel?
To date, no college or university has divested a single share of stock identified by BDS activists as targets for divestment. In addition, at schools where divestment has been driven by online petitions (such as Harvard and MIT), counter-petitions denouncing divestment have received more than ten times the number of signatures as pro-divestment petitions.
In 2002, the leadership at Harvard University took a public stance against divestment, with the then President of Harvard criticizing divestment activity as potentially being "anti-Semitic in effect, if not intent." While college divestment programs gained considerable media attention between 2001-2006, institutions of higher learning generally followed Harvard's lead in rejecting divestment out of hand.
Campus divestment campaigns made a comeback in 2009 and 2010. Background information is available elsewhere on this site with regard to Hampshire College and UC Berkeley.
If BDS has failed at colleges and universities, has it been successful anywhere else?
In 2004, a number of Mainline Protestant churches (notably the Presbyterians and Methodists) passed resolutions calling for divestment of their retirement portfolios from stocks identified by BDS activists as supporting the Jewish state.
As with universities, however, support for divestment in the churches turned out to be extremely shallow. While some church leaders and regional churches supported divestment, the rank and file categorically rejected divestment calls, voting down divestment by margins of 95%-5% (the Presbyterians) or unanimously (the Methodists).
During this period, divestment was also attempted in some US cities (notably Somerville, Massachusetts and Seattle, Washington), but lost badly in both places. When BDS made a comeback in 2009 after a three-year lull, new "soft targets" were chosen such as food co-ops and aging rock stars, demonstrating that (at least for now) BDS is all but dead at major institutions.
If BDS has been so unsuccessful, is it really a threat?
Despite its losing streak, calls for BDS have gained considerable momentum based on a single victory, such as the temporary support divestment had with the Presbyterian Church which was used to inspire hundreds of divestment projects between 2004 and 2006.
BDS controversies also tend to distort debate on college campuses, creating a discussion over whether or not Israel should be punished for its "crimes," rather than pointing out the inaccuracy and unfairness of these very accusations or the responsibility of Israel's accusers for the situation in the Middle East.
Finally, calls for boycott or divestment do tremendous damage to the institutions which embrace them, poisoning the atmosphere and creating hostile environments on campuses and elsewhere. For all these reasons, BDS needs to be fought whenever it rears its head within any civic institution.
What kind of damage do BDS projects cause others?
At its heart, BDS is an attempt to import the bitterness of the Arab-Israeli conflict into a civic institution such as a college, church, city or union in order to leverage that organization's reputation for the narrow partisan gain of divestment advocates.
Historically, attempts to win a well known organization into the divestment fold are accomplished by maneuvering behind the backs of members (and sometimes committing outright fraud). On several occasions, students, church members or citizens simply wake up one morning to discover their school, church or city is calling for a boycott of Israel in their name, causing bitter divisiveness (frequently along religious or racial lines), accusation and counteraccusation, leading to breaches and long-term damage to a civic institution.
Divestment activists, with their single-minded objective to gain the support of a well-known organization – by any means necessary – time and time again fail to reflect on the hurt they cause in an attempt to achieve their aims.

Why Not Spend Christmas Out On A Limb?
Tony BeamDr. Tony Beam's Weblog
- 2008 Dec 20
I grew up a country boy. I rambled freely in the woods and fields that surrounded my boyhood home. It was a full quarter of a mile from the back yard to the dirt road that ran past my grandmother's house and the space in between was filled with trees made for climbing.
One wonderful summer my two cousins, who had lived far away for most of my life, came to live with my grandmother. We spent the summer days engaged in our two favorite pastimes…playing in one of the three creeks that bordered our farm and climbing all the way to the top of one of the huge pine trees that occupied the field between the back yard and the dirt road.
Usually, my cousins and I were content to stay close to the trunk of the tree where the limbs were nice and fat and we could quickly wrap our arms around the trunk if the wind began to blow. But every now and then, we would dare each other to see how far we could move out on a limb away from the safety of the trunk. Being way out on a limb was scary because when the wind would blow, the limb would move up and down and back and forth, causing us to have to hold on for dear life! It didn't take long for us to permanently trade the relative safety of staying close to the trunk for the thrill of riding the wind way out on a limb.
Matthew 1: 18-25 tells the story of Joseph…a man sitting on a big fat limb up close to the trunk of life's tree. Joseph's life was set. He had been taught a valuable trade (carpentry) which would provide him with a poor but sustainable living. He was betrothed to marry a beautiful young Jewish girl named Mary. He was respected in the community and he was looking forward to settling down and starting a family.
That's when God pulled Joseph away from the trunk and sent him on the ride of his life!
Before Joseph and Mary came together (in the biblical sense) it was discovered that Mary was pregnant. What would Joseph do? The law required that Mary be put to death for her obvious adulterous ways but Joseph loved her. Not wanting to see her harmed or even shamed he decided to handle the matter privately. Joseph stepped gingerly away from the trunk of the tree when he bucked tradition by showing mercy to Mary. That night, God appeared to Joseph in a dream, revealing that Mary had not been unfaithful to him. It must have been difficult for Joseph to believe but he decided to go out on a limb with God by believing the message of the angel. He took Mary as his wife and his normal, everyday, life up against the tree trunk came to end.
I believe Joseph discovered three things when he made the decision to believe God and move out on a limb. First, he discovered that God's ways are out on a limb. Staying close to the tree may keep us safe and secure but God's greatest glory is gained out on a limb. Maybe Joseph remembered the story of David, who left the trunk security of a shepherd boy's life and embraced the limb of giant slaying and nation building. Maybe he remembered Joshua, who rejected the trunk safety of traditional warfare and moved out on the limb of marching around Jericho seven times, and was rewarded with seeing Jericho's walls fall at the sound of a shout. Maybe he remembered Gideon who pushed away from the trunk certainly of an army of over thirty thousand and followed God out on the limb of just three hundred. Whatever was going through Joseph's mind, he came to the conclusion that great things for God are most often accomplished when we are hanging on for dear life rather than hanging on to our own dear life.
Second, Joseph discovered that God's will often takes us out on a limb. According to Acts chapter 8, Phillip was in the middle of a revival of the Samaritans when God called him to a desert road that ran from Jerusalem to Gaza. That must have seemed strange to Phillip since the Samaritans were coming to Christ in great numbers. But God's will was to reach a continent through a eunuch from Ethiopia. Joseph must have thought it strange that he was told in a dream to pack up his new family and head for Egypt. But God's will often takes us down unfamiliar roads to unusual places. These out-on-a-limb encounters are filled with the power and the glory of God. Sometimes, it is when we are the most uncomfortable in our circumstances that we experience the most comforting moments with God.
Finally, Joseph discovered that God would be with him out on a limb. Matthew 1:23 reveals the most wonderful name of Jesus in all of Holy Scripture. The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel…which means, God with us." John put it this way in his Gospel, "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only Begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth."
When God calls us out on a limb he is calling us to Himself. He calls us to experience life to the fullest, where faith replaces fear and everlasting life replaces death. This Christmas, will you hear God's call for you to let go of the trunk of your own provision and security? Join Joseph out on the limb of radical obedience this Christmas and get ready for the ride of your life!

Smartphone-shot movie guns for cinema release
Used a Nokia, so gimme the Oscar
The majority of films shot on cameraphones end up in YouTube's vaults, lost forever among grainy videos of gigs and scenes of animals doing stupid things. However, if amateur filmmakers took things more seriously, their footage could end up in cinemas across the country.
Director Hooman Khalili is bidding to do exactly that. His feature film, Olive, which was shot using nothing but a Nokia N8 rigged up to a 35mm lens, could become the first smartphone-filmed movie to roll out in cinemas across the US.
Olive is the story of a young girl who doesn't speak, but positively affects three strangers she meets.
Khalili has finished the film after it was bankrolled by private investors. However, he now needs further funding to pay for distribution and has reached out on Kickstarter for potential investors.
The director guarantees Olive will been shown on various big screens following its premiere this month. He even wants to submit it for Oscar consideration, which would be a first for a film shot on a smartphone.
To see more about how the film was made, check out the video below, which was probably filmed on a proper camera. ®

Florida is home to immigrants from across Latin America and the Caribbean. In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15-October 15), this series of blog posts features music brought to Florida from throughout the Hispanic world.
Cubans made their mark on Florida long before it became part of the United States. In recent years, Cuban immigrants have played a major role in shaping Florida's politics, economy, and cultural landscape. Cuban musical traditions are some of the most vivid and recognizable expressions of Cubanidad imported from the island to the mainland.
Salsa music, which originated in Cuba, became internationally popular in the 1970s with its ability to pack the dance floor. Salsa was influenced by many different styles of music but its core structure comes from Son Cubano, which features a mixture of Spanish and African elements.
In October 1981, as part of the Cuban American Slide and Tape Project, Florida folklorists recorded a performance by Salsa Express at the Latin Fiesta Club in Miami (pictured below).

|Behavioral: Correlation between early delivery and coital activity
During the past years there has been a conflict between different studies regarding the correlation between intercourse during pregnancy and early labor. Brustman et al showed that women that were at a high risk for early delivery and had intercourse and then an early labor had significantly increase uterine activity compared to women at low risk. Petridou et al showed that this risk is significantly higher at week 33 of gestation. However, the Cochrane Library summary leaves the question of correlation between intercourse and early labor unanswered. In Sayle et al's study showed no correlation between early delivery and intercourse. In 2004 Oguma described 3 polymorphisms in the Prostanoid receptor gene. These polymorphisms were correlated to increased activity of smooth muscles of bronchi in asthma. Since this gene is also expressed in the uterine muscles we wanted to determine whether there is a correlation between the three polymorphisms T-549C, C-441T, T-197C, G+1044A and early delivery due to intercourse.

My connection is NBN over HFC.
I ordered & connected a new Gen 2 modem. After 2 minutes neither the Modem web page nor the Internet is accessible. However, the telephone still works, and Email is received, but as text only.
Multiple reboots/resets produced the same result.
Telstra Support decided that the modem was faulty and sent another. The second Gen 2 modem displayed exactly the same problem.
I've reconnected my previous Telstra Technicolor modem which works with no problem.
Has anyone there experienced this problem with the Gen 2 and/or know of a fix? Hard to believe I've received 2 lemons, but possible I suppose.
Was this helpful?
Thank you for your feedback
Thank you for your feedback
We can help right nowContact Us Ask a Question Have Feedback?
Could you have set up static IP addresses on your devices. All Telstra Technicolor modems before the Telstra Gateway Frontier used the address range 10.0.0.1 to 10.0.0.254. The Gen 2 modems use the address range 192.168.0.1-254.
Check your network adapter on connected devices is set to use DHCP.
Thanks for your response.
I'm accessing the Internet from a Macbook, W10 PC, iPhone & iPad. All work perfectly with the previous modem.
Network settings, on these devices, when connecting to the Gen 2 (WiFi & Ethernet) via DHCP, are all ok, with Telstra's DNS Servers filled in correctly; and all works fine for approximately 2 minutes.
I have left all settings the Gen 2, at default.
On one occasion, (after the 2 minute period) my Telstra Account log in web page reluctantly loaded - in text form. Wording indicated that I was connected, but "in backup mode".
I assumed this meant that the modem was using the "fall-back" 4G connection (and not very well either). However, Telstra could not see a fault with the normal connection. Also, the light on the back of the Gen 2 did not indicate a fall-back situation.
I restarted the modem so I could briefly access the Home page and disable 4G fall-back. This did not appear to be possible.
So it's got me beat.
What color was the light on the front of the modem. If in backup it should be blue.
If you can log into the modems GUI you could try disabling LAN IPV6. Advanced > Local Network.
If your old modem is working what happens if you set up your old modem, connect the WAN port of the Gen 2 modem to LAN port old modem, connect a device to Gen 2 modem and test for internet access.
Interesting to read about your experience, Glen. Similar to mine, with the Telstra people telling me there was no problem at their end. They're also suggesting that they're not receiving any other complaints, which is obviously not true.
If your previous setup, before connecting the Gen 2, was working ok, then you'd have to conclude, as I have, that there are either some faulty Gen 2s out there, or the Gen 2s are incompatible with Telstra's network/infrastructure; but maybe not in all locations. It's hard to get a straight answer.
In which case, you could tell Telstra, as I did, that they'd be dreaming to expect a payment of $240. If your previous setup, like mine, was/is working fine; and the Gen 2 is supposed to plug in and power-on and start working, then it's Telstra's problem.
I'll be interested to hear about the Tech's conclusion on Friday.
Problem solved. All I did was to reset/reboot the modem the old fashioned way with a pin in the back of it. This re-booted the modem and connection issues resolved.
Glad to hear that you're sorted Gen. I hope it lasts.
Unfortunately for me, I've rebooted/reset many times without fixing the problem.
There is a problem with the GEN 2 modems that causes devices on some networks particularly those on a cable connection to loose connection to the internet. There is firmware update that is currently being tested and when fully loaded will automatically be pushed out to the GEN 2 modems. The update might fix your problem.
Thanks, cf4.
I'll ask Telstra to notify me when it's ready and then I'll connect the Gen 2 again.
Did this firmware update get deployed?
I have a problem with the gen2 modem where it tells you the password is wrong but you are actually logged in & in setting up static IP & port forward for ssh nothing ever gets through the modem. at this location I have 2 lines with a gen1 that works ok & the old tg797n v3 works if I put it back in. The gen 2 will not pass ssh packets - but changing action to reject/drop does what is expected, "allow" just does not work on the "firewall".
The modem software version is Champagne (18.1.c)
i have the issue i have the gen 2 smart modem cant connect to utorrent
so switched back to my old modem and its all working fine now
is there issues with the gen 2 smart modem i am waiting to connect to nbn
.....will the nbn fix this issue
I tried this on the gen 2 smart modem
went to port fowarding
selected Bittorrent click on add
the message i got was Invalid ip Address
so i need to know where do i get the ip Address from
any help.
No issues with my old modem
The IP address is the IP address of the device you want to port forward to.
The links below is a video showing how to port forward on a the Technicolor modem.
i went to port forwarding and selected bittorrent came to traffic monitor
to set the destination ip and i dont know where i can get that from from any help would be good
I suggest you take a look at the manually setting port forwarding for bit torrent and uTorrent in this article
Check that the port you have port forwarded is the same as the port used in the uTorrent app.
ok will try tommorow and will let you know how i go..
thanks for your help
all working now thanks for your help
Have just got the new Gen2 modem but when connect it up i only get internet for a few mins then drops out unplug the ADSL from the wall plug it back in and get internet again for a few mins then gone again but NBN not connected for about another week
Any one have any ideas what how when why
Have checked that your correct user name (full bigpond primary email address) and password has been entered in the Basic > Broadband > PPPOE settings?

Leaders of private youth sports programs looking to impose strict background checks on coaches and other volunteers will soon have backup in state law.
Gov. Jerry Brown has signed legislation authorizing private youth sports groups to require background checks for coaches and other volunteers. In doing so, the legislation clarifies that the groups can access records kept by the Department of Justice, which includes nationwide data.
"In this day and age we need that extra protection," said Debra Rogers, representing the San Diego-based Alliance for Background Checks in Youth Sports that pressed for the legislation.
The group originally sought tougher provisions to make background checks mandatory, but that ran into opposition because of the potential cost to sports groups in low-income areas that feared losing volunteers.
Background checks can cost between $50 to $70 each.
Nevertheless, Rogers called Brown's signature a milestone in protecting children. Many parents automatically assume that coaches and other volunteers have been vetted. But not every program takes such precautions, she said.
"Awareness is growing," said Rogers, vowing to try to secure passage of a tougher law next year.
The original bill was carried by Assemblyman Brian Maienschein, R-San Diego. He later teamed with Assemblywoman Susan Bonilla, D-Concord, to push through the compromise striking the mandatory background investigation but clarifying that programs have the authority to do so. Programs can also request that state officials notify them if a volunteer has a subsequent arrest.
"This is just good policy and a logical step toward protecting our most vulnerable members of our communities," said Maienschein, a volunteer coach himself and father of two girls who play soccer.
"Children shouldn't have to worry about the adults around them when they are out of their parents' care. They have the right to be protected from anyone who would harm them. AB 465 helps to provide such protection so they can continue to be kids as long as possible."
There are no exact figures available for the number of participants in youth sports. But the website of the San Diego Alliance for Background Checks in Youth Sports said it is estimated that in California more than 5 million children participate along with 875,000 coaches and volunteers.
The legislation will become effective Jan. 1.

George W. Bush and Laura Bush at their wedding in Texas on November 5, 1977, with George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush.
The Bush family has an esteemed tradition of public service. President George W. Bush's father, George H. W. Bush, was a decorated naval pilot who flew torpedo bombers during World War II. His career in politics began in 1963 when he was elected chairman of the Harris County (Texas) Republican Party. George Bush served two terms as Vice President of the United States from 1981 to 1989, and served as the 41st President of the United States from 1989 to 1993. The George Bush Presidential Library and Museum is located on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas.
George H. W. Bush's father and George W. Bush's grandfather, Prescott S. Bush, served as U.S. Senator representing Connecticut from 1952 to 1963.
George W. was Governor of Texas from 1995 to 2000, and Jeb was Governor of Florida from 1999 to 2007.
President George W. Bush and Mrs. Laura Bush relaxed with their daughters, Barbara and Jenna, August 24, 2004, during an interview for People Magazine at Prairie Chapel Ranch in Crawford, Texas.
President George W. Bush and Laura Bush were married in 1977 and reside in Dallas and Crawford, Texas. They have twin daughters, Barbara Pierce Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, born in 1981 in Dallas. Jenna married Henry Chase Hager in 2008 at her parents' Prairie Chapel Ranch.
In addition to Barney, a Scottish Terrier who made children around the world laugh through the Barney Cam videos, the Bush family has included several pets over the years.

Schroders Quickview: Japan economy keeps pressure on Abe and central bank
Weaker consumer spending had a detrimental impact on Japanese GDP. This will increase pressure on the Bank of Japan (BoJ) to justify its policy stance and could call into question the likelihood of the next consumption tax increase.
The Japanese economy contracted in the final quarter of last year with real GDP falling 0.4% quarter-on-quarter. Economists had expected weakness, but this was a disappointing outcome that was largely driven by a sharp 0.8% quarter-on-quarter contraction in consumer spending. It would seem that the Japanese consumer has never really recovered from the increase in consumption tax in April 2014 - the more tax-sensitive durable goods expenditure has declined in six out of seven quarters since then. In many respects though, this is still a surprise as household incomes have been boosted by a tight labour market, a factor we expect to continue in 2016, adding support to personal expenditure through stronger income growth.
The latest news will increase pressure on the BoJ to justify its policy stance. Governor Kuroda can point to the decision on 29 January to introduce negative interest rates. However, so far all they have to show for this is a flatter yield curve , while the yen has strengthened and the equity market has weakened. On balance, it is difficult to see any net financial stimulus from the BoJ's action to date.
Some relief can be taken from the decision by the People's Bank of China to strengthen the Chinese yuan today, which followed Governor Zhou Xiaochaun's comments at the weekend on China not seeking exchange rate depreciation. However, Japan must realise that it will be more difficult to play the currency depreciation game given the change in China's policy this year. The focus therefore will be on the domestic economy and the critical wage negotiations in the spring (known locally as the shunto). Meanwhile, Prime Minister Abe must be having increasing doubts about the next increase in the consumption tax scheduled for April 2017.
