Trial by Ice
by rose | Feb 15, 2019
Lessons learned from 2009 ice storm speed recovery today
When it comes to weather, we never know what Mother Nature will send our way. Missouri has suffered through floods, fires, tornadoes, blizzards and ice storms, sometimes on the same day. But while the weather can be fickle, one thing is certain: Electric cooperatives will do whatever it takes to restore power.
That was the case 10 years ago when the ice storm of 2009 caused widespread devastation across southern Missouri. From Branson to the Bootheel, electric co-op members experienced something that only the most elderly could remember — total darkness.
"I remember turning off of Highway 25 to the gravel road where I live," says Tim Davis, manager of Pemiscot-Dunklin Electric Cooperative. "I couldn't see the road it was so dark. Me and my wife, we were raised here. We know where those roads were at and we still couldn't see them."
When the freezing rain that began Jan. 26 finally stopped and employees began assessing the damage, veteran linemen could not believe what they were seeing. Tim, who was operations manager at the time, recalls when the extent of the disaster struck him.
"When you see a grown lineman in tears, you know it's bad," Tim recalls. "They were in tears, more than one. I hadn't been outside for a day because I couldn't leave the radio. I finally got a break and went outside. I had no idea. It made me sick."
One line between two substations had 80 poles on it. Tim learned that only one was left standing. Nearly 90 percent of the system was on the ground and hardly a meter was turning. Power was even off at the office until a generator loaned by Platte-Clay Electric Cooperative turned the lights on again.
Missouri's electric cooperatives are no strangers to natural disasters. There have been storms that caused outages for more people. In 1984, 250,000 were without power in the wake of an ice storm that affected those living south of Interstate 70.
Comparisons between the ice storm that struck in January 2007 and the one in 2009 add perspective. In 2007, 120,000 co-op members lost power.
The damage was estimated at $52 million and the recovery effort prompted what was then the largest repair effort in the history of the state with 80 cooperatives from Missouri and seven other states sending assistance.
Fewer members, 64,000, lost power in 2009 and the storm affected only seven systems compared to 15 in 2007. In a strange quirk of fate, the systems hit in 2009 were all out of harm's way in 2007. The ice, it seemed, had returned to finish the job it had started two years earlier.
In terms of sheer destruction, the length of the outages and the monumental restoration effort that followed, nothing compares to the ice storm of 2009.
The storm caused more than $200 million in damages to electric co-op lines. More than 17,000 poles had to be replaced. A total of 3,337 workers — more than ever before — were sent into the fray. And the three weeks it took to restore power to the last members set another record.
In past storms, damage to high-voltage transmission lines was minimal. These lines, which carry large wires, are built to much higher standards. Some poles measure 3 feet in diameter at the base. But the 2009 storm snapped the H-shaped transmission structures owned by M&A Electric Power Cooperative like matchsticks. Across the flat Bootheel, miles of shattered poles stretched to the horizon. Heavy conductor lay on the ground. Piles of mangled hardware and broken insulators made the scene look like the aftermath of a battle.
"We had at least one section that was 26 miles long that did not have a structure standing," says M&A Power Manager Daryl Sorrell. "26 miles without a standing structure is impossible to comprehend."
M&A employees calculated the weight on each span of the line at 10,000 pounds for a 2-inch thick buildup of ice. But ice as thick as a man's arm accumulated on these lines. In places where two lines ran close together, the ice was as big as a volleyball. Each cross arm carried the equivalent of two full-sized SUVs hanging from them. Like dominoes, the poles snapped under the burden. In an instant, 90 miles of the line came crashing down.
Loss of the transmission lines knocked offline four power plants owned by Associated Electric Cooperative. It would be an extreme test of the electric cooperative grid, but power continued to flow to those unaffected by the storm from plants located elsewhere.
Despite the devastation and the suffering that followed, lessons learned during those dark days from Jan. 26 to Feb. 18 ensured future storms are less of a problem for members.
SEMO Electric Cooperative — which faced a task equal to building a power line from St. Louis to Memphis in less than three weeks — began the practice of staging crews before outages take place, speeding repairs. Linemen now take trucks home with them so they are ready to roll at a moment's notice.
Pemiscot-Dunklin, which suffered the most damage during the storm, has increased the strength of its lines. "We shortened our spans from 300 feet to 275, maybe 250 feet," Tim says. "We use bigger class poles. We use heavy framing. We strengthened our guy wires and spread them out as far as we can. We've learned a lot. My staff will sit down the first of fall and go over precautionary things."
Howell-Oregon Electric in West Plains now benefits from new equipment they learned about from contractors brought in to help restore power
in 2009. The contractors used tracked skid steer loaders, one fitted with an auger to drill holes and the other with a manipulator's arm to move poles into place. These machines were a great asset in the cooperative's heavily timbered service area, going where trucks could not. They are now widely used across Missouri.
When M&A Power repaired its lines, it added special storm structures every 5 to 7 miles. This will prevent the cascading damage that caused problems in 2009. As poles are routinely replaced the transmission co-op now is using steel structures that will support more weight than wood. More material is kept on hand and annual table-top drills solve potential problems before they happen.
"We are still working on things to harden the system," Daryl says. "I've got to believe if the ice storm had not happened we wouldn't be doing some of the things we are doing now. It changed the way we think. The lessons learned to continue, they don't just stop when you get the last pole up."
The disaster also led to closer working relations between Missouri's electric cooperatives and the Missouri National Guard. Not long after the ice melted, the cooperatives and the Guard signed a unique agreement that will allow the state's electric co-ops to use Guard armories to house linemen during major outages. The cooperatives reciprocated by wiring armories across the state so that they can easily be powered with back-up generators.
A statewide electric cooperative outage map created after the storm now shows emergency personnel the big picture so resources can be better allocated. Missouri's electric cooperatives are better prepared for the logistics of feeding, housing and doing the laundry for large numbers of workers. They also have finetuned the mutual assistance process so that one call to the statewide office in Jefferson City speeds assistance to those in need.
"There's been a lot of lessons learned for all the co-ops out of this," Daryl says. "The whole system is getting smarter and better prepared in the event something like this happens in the future."

Q: Is it possible to disassemble & reassemble an iOS IPA file from the command line? I've got an issue with how PhoneGap:Build is currently building iOS applications: splash screens are duplicated, greatly increasing the compiled file size of my applications.
Previously they had an issue wherein they were copying the wrong icon into the Android XHDPI icon folder for Android builds, and I was able to write a script that automated fixing this bug post-build since they seemed to show no interest in fixing the bug (almost a year now since the original bug report & while it seems it might be fixed presently, they haven't commented lately).
I know that I can rename an IPA to a ZIP, unzip it, and browse its contents. I could automate the following steps easily:

*

*Rename

*Unzip

*Find & remove originals for splash screen images via config.xml file

*Re-zip (& rename?)

...But I'm not sure where I'd have to go from there. I've found a few threads that discuss using Xcode to run different utilities, perform signing, etc; but they all seem to assume you've got an xcode project locally, which I don't. (I use PhoneGap & PhoneGap:Build specifically to avoid those headaches.)
I'll have access to all of the same key files that are uploaded to PhoneGap:Build for the original signing process, and I know all of the necessary passwords. I have Xcode installed (just not a local xcode project)...
Is it possible to re-assemble a "fixed" zip into a signed IPA for dev/release distribution using command line utilities & without creating a local Xcode project? If so, how?

A: Yes, this is possible.
You can export an IPA, unzip it, delete the duplicate file (assuming your code doesn't reference it), then re-sign the app and zip the IPA back up.
You'll find examples on how to use the commandline tool "codesign" to resign a .app directory on stackoverflow!

Jennifer Lopez Is Not Happy About Ben Affleck Dissing Jennifer Garner
December 15, 2021 | Shubham Banerjee
Ben Affleck is making a lot of headlines lately. His comments about his marriage to Jennifer Garner weren't appreciated by the public. Now they are dragging him over the internet.
Affleck had a lot to say about his marriage to Jennifer Garner in a recent interview on "The Howard Stern Show." Apparently, Jennifer Lopez is not happy about it either.
A source told Page Six, Lopez is "pissed" with the exchange. The source further revealed, "she is getting pulled into this because she is dating him. She doesn't want to be dragged into this." It's understood that Lopez met Garner and she is trying to get to know Garner and her kids.
While discussing the details of his failed marriage in the interview, the conversation shifted towards his issues with sobriety. The 49-year old actor seemed to pin his struggles with drinking on his ex Jennifer Garner.
The star revealed he was "trapped" and couldn't leave for the sake of his kids. He also shared that he dealt with not being happy in the relationship by chugging a bottle of scotch and passing out on the couch.
Affleck was married to Garner from 2005 to 2018, he rekindled his romance with Lopez in April 2021. Lopez from her marriage to ex-husband Marc Anthony share twins Max and Emme, aged 13.

Community Bakers roll out gluten-free mixes at "people's" prices – OnMilwaukee.com
Published June 20, 2019 at 6:01 p.m.
RoseMary Oliveira has been an accomplished baker for years, but unlike other culinary masters, her back story doesn't include growing up in a kitchen and learning the tricks of the trade from her family members.
"Actually my mom and grandma were terrible bakers," says Oliveira. "They were good cooks, but they had zero baking skills."
But Oliveira somehow got the baked-goods gene and in 2018 launched a line of gluten-free cake and cookie mixes under the name Community Bakers.
Seven years ago, Oliveira was diagnosed with Celiac disease and sampled a slew of unsatisfactory gluten-free mixes and baked goods.
"When I was diagnosed with Celiac I thought it would be easy to switch to gluten-free baked goods, but every time I tried something I thought 'oh no, there has to be something better,'" she says.
Oliveira was also set back by the high prices of most gluten-free mixes and so she went on a mission to create an affordable, gluten-free mix of her own.
"People with an allergy forget what a really good cookie or slice of carrot cake tastes like and so my goal is to remind them," she says.
Oliveira created four mixes – carrot cake, Northwoods Skillet Cornbread, Tuscan Rosemary Foccacia and Deep Chocolate Mocha Crinkle Cookies – and has more to come in the near future.
All of her prepping is done at MKE Localicious and currently she sells her mixes via her website, at The Outdoor Public Market on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and at the Westown Farmers Market in Zeidler Union Square every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
"I'm not a lady making cupcakes in her kitchen," says Oliveira. "I'm serious about going national."
During our interview, I sampled her carrot cake and it was (warning: despised word ahead) moist, flavorful and spongy-yet-dense.
Oliveira, who holds a degree in business and worked in finance for much of her adult life, has owned a home in Riverwest for 32 years. She deeply values and appreciates her community – thus the name "Community Bakers." She recognizes through her Riverwest community the desire for quality food items at an affordable price which she refers to as "people's prices."
"My community is a huge part of this project. I make the mix in my neighborhood and friends in my community help craft the flavor with feedback on everything I make. Not surprisingly, there's no shortage of 'tasters,'" says Oliveira.

"Tale Of The Nine-Tailed" Soothes Hiatus Blues With Glimpse Of The Fun Behind The Scenes
by J. K
Although tvN's "Tale of the Nine-Tailed" is on a break this week, fans can enjoy seeing the beloved cast through new behind-the-scenes photos!
"Tale of the Nine-Tailed" is a fantasy action romance drama that stars Lee Dong Wook as the male gumiho (a mythical nine-tailed fox) Lee Yeon, Jo Bo Ah as producer Nam Ji Ah, and Kim Bum as Lee Yeon's brother Lee Rang. They find themselves entangled in a battle with Imoogi (Lee Tae Ri), a serpent beast in human form.
The drama's production team shared that the show is not airing this week to ensure an improved and more complete quality of production. On November 17, they released many behind-the-scenes photos that show the lively and fun atmosphere on set! While the cast seriously immerses themselves in the scene whenever the camera is rolling, they're often joking and laughing between takes.
Lee Dong Wook has been receiving praise for his performance as Lee Yeon in the drama, and he shows his famous sense of humor on set as he gets everyone laughing. He and Jo Bo Ah are cracking up when the camera's off even during their tearful reunion scene, and Lee Dong Wook throws his head back in laughter as they film the scene where they ate together at her home.
Lee Dong Wook also takes a sweet photo with the child actor who plays the young version of Lee Rang, holds up his transformed hand in another image, and even happily embraces his character's favorite mint chocolate ice cream.
Jo Bo Ah has been showing her wide range in the show as she plays both Nam Ji Ah, the producer of a television show about the supernatural, and Ah Eum, a princess who was Lee Yeon's first love. The actress has proved that she's fearless, just like Nam Ji Ah, as she smiles and shows her passionate energy on set even while filming scary scenes and taking on action scenes for the first time.
Jo Bo Ah's sunny smiles as she has fun during breaks in filming are bound to make fans grin too.
Kim Bum has proven his ability to have great chemistry with all his co-stars in "Tale of Nine-Tailed," including Lee Dong Wook and Kim Yong Ji, who plays his accomplice Yoo Ri. Contrary to the devilish figure he plays in the show, it's said that Kim Bum warmly smiles and jokes around on set.
In addition, the drama has also shared a photo of the heartwarming "Shin Yoo couple" of Shin Joo (played by Hwang Hee) and Yoo Ri, who look like they're having a great time between takes. Even Lee Tae Ri and Uhm Hyo Sup, who play villainous characters in the show that give viewers goosebumps, warm up the set with their smiles.
The production team stated, "All the filming for 'Tale of the Nine-Tailed' is complete and we're working hard on post-production in order to perfect it." They added, "'Tale of the Nine-Tailed' plans to return with a story that's more tightly packed and will deeply move viewers. We hope you'll look forward to it a lot."
"Tale of the Nine-Tailed" will air a special on November 18 rather than a new episode, and the show "Future Class" will air on November 19 instead. The drama will return with episodes 13 and 14 on November 25 and 26.

So far we have practiced edging whilst sitting stationary however most of the time when we are out on the water we will be edging whilst on the move and using it to help us turn our kayak. We call this skill Carving.
It is important for us to be able to hold an edge, so that we can use the boat to help us turn and stay balanced and in control. The edge of a kayak is designed to track through the water. As such it has a turning effect on our boat. If we edge whilst turning it will extenuate the turn. In a touring kayak you edge in towards a turn or outwards away from a turn. Both will have different effects on the speed and angle of the turn.
Through this simple exercise sequence you will be able to develop your edging, boat control, general awareness and balance. You will also begin to notice how the stability of the boat is effected by momentum and how edging can have a turning 'carving' affect on the boat.
1. Pick out a target in the distance. Keeping your eyes on the target generate some momentum by paddling forwards. As you continue to paddle roll the boat up on to an edge and hold it. Using steering strokes to keep the boat on course keep paddling towards your target.
2. When you feel that your running out of energy or your losing the ability to hold the boat on edge drop the boat back to flat and have a rest.
3. Starting again pick another target and do the same drill again. This time put the boat on its opposite edge and hold it. Again keep your eyes on the target and use paddle strokes to steer where needed as you paddle forwards.
Working both edges evenly during these early stages of learning will really help you speed up your all-round progression as a paddler and will help prevent you developing muscle imbalances from over using one side.
4. Once you have this mastered have a go at completing the same task whilst paddling backwards.
The next step is to practice paddling in a circle whilst holding the boat on edge. You will have noticed that as you paddled forwards and backwards with the boat on edge it will have been constantly trying to turn. In the earlier exercises we corrected this with paddle strokes. Now have a go at working with the turn created by the momentum of the edged boat and using it to paddle in a circle.
1. Do this by picking out a target in the distance. Keeping your eyes on the target generate some momentum by paddling forwards.
2. As you continue to paddle forwards roll the boat up on to an edge and hold it. The boat will begin to turn.
3. As it turns, don't steer. Let it continue to turn and track a circle. You will now need to keep your eyes looking forwards in front of you in the direction you are going rather than at your initially target. Let the edge of the boat create the turning momentum. You should not need to do any steering or turning stokes. If you just paddle forward the edge on the boat should keep tracking the turn. This is the skill known as carving.
4. Have a rest then have a go with the opposite edge.
5. Then try the same drill whilst paddling backwards.
Now its time to try and paddle a figure of 8 just using forward paddle strokes and edging.
1. Same as before start by looking ahead at target in the distance. Paddle forwards, then put your boat on edge and hold it.
2. Keeping it on edge track a turn as in exercise 2.
3. Then whilst still paddling forwards drop the boat back down to flat.
4. Keeping forward momentum switch to the opposite edge.
5. Keep paddling and you should now track a circle in the opposite direction.
6. Still paddling forwards drop the edge back to flat again.
7. Now switch back to the original edge.
You should be carving a figure of 8. This is a great exercise and good fun.
8. Try it left and right. Backwards and forwards.
Keeping your eyes up and looking at a target or in the direction you want to go during this drill is really important. Not only will it help you develop your stability and overall awareness. It will also teach you to be able perform these moves whilst observing the environment around you. If you find yourself admiring the bow of your boat, think 'eyes up' and check out the views not just your bow!
You don't need to go full edge all the time. Mix it up. Play about with using different levels of edge whilst performing each of these drills.
This really is a great sequence of exercises that will help you develop your strength and control it will help wake up the muscles and your mind.

One thought on "Undertown Vol 1 Scholastic Edition"
author says:
Undertown is an alright book because its not relatable or funny. Its about this kid his name is Sama and his dad is dying and only has one month to live and while sama is in the hospital this strange old man tells sama aout this place called Undertown it is a magical place that holds, among other things. When sama goes to sleep he ends up in Undertown and he has to look for the sugar sone which is a magical object that could help Samas father. And its about him finding the sugar stone and him me [...]
This was a nice little book. I liked how this book was a bout a son trying to save his dad. Then a creepy man told the kid about under town and how it is so nice. Next the kid did what the man said. Lastly after going throw under town and making all of his friends in under town but to have the worst bug of them all is the girl that kissed him at the end.
I think this book is really good because comics are very fun and alot of people read them.
I once had a dream that I was in Halloween Town, yes the one on Disney's The Nightmare Before Christmas! There, I was searching for something, I don't remember what exactly, but I never found it. Undertown reminded me of my personal experience of what you can imagine when you're a kid. Sometimes, especially when you're a kid, a dream can feel so real that it is. Like the time when I was eight and I had a dream that I was flying through Collinsville, IL, and the next morning fell into my bed! The [...]
One day there was a boy name Sama he always cried about everything because he was very sensitive. One day his dad came inside his room and was really angry because he was crieing he said i would give you something to cry about. Thats when his mom came in and told him not that she will fix it later and he didn't do anything. His dad got all mad and got a heart attack. So his mom took him to the hospital and thats when he cried more because he said it was all his fault but then he met a guy in the [...]
I have a long relationship with this volume where I'm always on the verge of getting rid of it, but at the very last moment decide to keep it.I really want to like Undertown. The art is so beautiful and the story appeals to me.But the way in which the story is told is just not very good. Undertown's biggest problem is its pacing: too much story in too few pages. We don't get a lot of time to breathe and/or experience the beautiful art, because there's just so much going on. The protagonists are [...]
Undertown by Jim Pascoe and illustrated by Jake Myler is about a boy whose father had a heart attack and a mysterious man told the boy about how he can help his dad survive the heart attack. The guy tells him he has to get the sugar stone from Undertown to save him. Now in my opinion this manga (Japanese graphics book) is obvious about how the ending is going to happen, but I still enjoy the story. Main reason is that it's a story revolving around what in the real world we call furies (animals [...]
undertown is about a young boy goining on an adventure under his bed after his father has an heart attack. he's about 12 years old and has a teddy bear named eddie. After being told that the sugar stone can save his dad he packs a bookbag and count from ten to one. then he falls into undertown but finds enemies called the insects. he get harrased by them and is in big trouble. Then eddie comes to life and they escape the insects. Then they meet a porcupine, two rabbits, some rats, and a penguine [...]
This is a good story whose biggest flaw is that the main character's age seems undefined and a little misleading. The story has enough violence that it isn't suitable for really young kids, but the main character is just young enough that older kids and teens might not empathize. He seems to be at the oldest an immature tween who still owns a teddy bear, for reasons that become clear during the story.The story is about a magical place that you can get to, Narnia-style, via the oddest entry point [...]
Not bad. A legacy from the heady days when everyone was debuting a new many a series every five minutes and companies like Tokyopop started turning to home-grown talent. Storyline is fairly standard and the art is pretty good, though confusing at times. Overall, not bad but not different enough to really stand out from the crowd. We'll see if things improve with Volume 2
In this book there is a boy how acts like a baby.His dad gets mad when he plays whith his metals.Then his dad has a heart attack his dad went to the hospital and the kid said it was all his fault.Then some voices told him that he had to find the sugar stone to help his dad and save there wold.
I thought this book was really good and for some reason I read it 3 or 4 times in a row! It was pretty addicting and I wanted to get the second one. Unfortunately, I let my friend borrow it and he lost it at school I would recommend this to a'lot of people because its just that good! Don't want to spoil anything, SO I SAY NO MORE!
I think it's a cool book, was surprised at the end, how Sama didn't actually get the stone or to leave undertown. I was really pulling for him. Is The Cloud really dead? How was the girl the Cloud? Im still confused!
the book is good and it makes me want to read the next
this is one of the greatest books I read
A not-bad standard storyline. about the art: maybe I just don't like this teddy bear and "furmen" stuff, but I do appreciate the art itself very much! and the details are amazing!
I like it. It's cute. Its a war between insects and the fur men. The rats have a brotherhood adn the lizards live in the desert. It was pretty good.
I enjoyed the artwork, but the storyline was not my cup of tea. Middle school students, especially, will probably enjoy this.
The story is a bit kid-ish but the artI was clipping peices of this from the newspaper before buying this bookJoey P Phehehe.I prolly shouldn't have said anything.
I really liked this book. The main character was wimpy but there were some really cool characters. Never would have thought what would happen would happen in the end!

Posting on Health Affairs Blog, John Roehring is less optimistic. His in-depth analysis of health care spending and economic cycles is rigorous. But is it relevant?
Something extraordinary has happened in the past few years: The U.S. finally has passed health reform legislation that aims to provide universal access to high quality care. The legislation recognizes that in order to do this, we Must bring down costs.
Passage of the legislation was all but inevitable.
After years of over-spending, we were heading for a wall. Healthcare spending cannot swallow 25% of GDP. And what can't happen, won't. We must become more efficient.
Thus, the past may not tell us much how health care spending will respond to an economic recovery this time around. The Affordable Care Act marks a turning point—and there is no going back. We are in a truly different era.
Roehring is not as hopeful as I am, but he acknowledges that "Some portion of the slowdown is permanent but some will be given back during a recovery".
That may be, but these days, more and more physicians are deciding that in the battle over healthcare they would rather be Knights than Knaves or Pawns. (Hat tip to the National Physicians' Alliance for coming up with these categories.
Signs of the times: Oncologists are telling us that many of our priciest cancer drugs aren't worth the money. Urologists are no longer recommending PSA testing.
"Being in a hospital" clearly is not the answer.
This brings us to the question of reducing readmissions. Paduda notes that in response to "a recent WSJ opinion piece assaulting Medicare's new hospital re-admissions reimbursement policy; the John Hartford Foundations' Chris Langston presents a clear-eyed, point-by-point rebuttal that shows why the program is a necessary and important step to improving health for older adults." I would add that, as Langston points out, hospitals will not be penalized for readmitting some patients. The penalty applies only if Medicare sees a pattern showing an unusual number of patients bouncing back into hospital beds. .
Over at Health News Review, Gary Schwitzer highlights an innovative way to market a product to doctors that involves Hooters. I don't spoil the surprise—just go to Paduda's Health Wonk Review, and click on the link to Schwitzer's story.
Will there be enough insurance products available in the Exchanges to give consumers choices ? Writing on HealthInsurance.org. Wendell Potter says there will be plenty. In a few months, we're likely to be complaining about how hard it is to compare so many plans. Moreover, the notion that you need a dozen companies competing to keep prices down is a myth. In Vermont, he points out, just two companies vying for Exchange business, and premiums are not going up.
How much do you think UnitedHealth's CEO earns? On Health Care Renewal, Roy Poses will tell you. Brace yourself.
1) People on Medicaid are poor.
2)There is a limit to what healthcare can do for people who have been born into poverty and have been poor for most of their lives.
The stresses and deprivations of poverty take an enormous toll. As Dr. Steven Schroeder pointed out in a landmark Shattuck lecture in 2007: "When compared to poverty, medical care plays "a relatively minor role" in premature deaths." Scroll down to the pie chart in his article, and you'll see what he is talking about.
I'm not at all surprised that after two years on Medicaid, complicated problems like hypertension and high cholesterol had not been resolved. They still may die sooner than many of us, but clearly the quality of their lives has improved.
Note– This was a rich edition of Health Wonk Review, and these are just highlights. I would urge you to read the whole post.

Thanks for the note about the David Williams article on overpriced cancer treatments.
Americans have had the luxury to spend unlimited amounts per patient. This is a by product of having multiple payers — i.e. Medicare does not worry if a private payer gets stuck with a huge bill, and the private payers are delighted to stick Medicare or Medicaid with huge bills.
In a single payer system, one cannot avoid the fact that spending $300,000 on keeping one person alive for six months will reduce the funds for home care visits and nursing home care and hip replacements.
This is why the British in many cases just refuse to pay for super-expensive drugs. It comes down to the greatest good for the greatest number. America has been the place where those near death could carry on the most expensive fights against death — and that may change.
One other small note — and this is an old preoccupation of mine — the $770 billion reduction that Cutler refers to is not what an ordinary person would call a reduction in spending.
Instead it is Washington-speak for a reduction in projected spending.
What he is saying is that instead of Medicare and Medicaid costing $1.5 trillion a year in 2022, maybe they will cost $1.427 trillion a year, or $77 billion less.
I am not too comforted.
growing as a precentage of GDP.
Good point but I would raise one caution.
The GDP does not pay taxes.
Medicare and Medicaid have to be covered out of federal revenues.
If the GDP grows but federal revenue does not grow, then health care has big problems.
Per David Cay Johnston, the GDP did grow from 2000 to 2010 but tax revenues were stone flat. The govt collected $2 trillion in 2000 and collected $2 trillion in 2010.
I know there are complex reasons, but I still resist measuring health care by GDP.
I like Jeffrey Sachs but he does this all the time and I am cautious.
If GDP grows and federal revenues do not grow this is becuase we are not taxing those who are profiting from GDP growth–corporations and wealthy individuals (shareholders).
It's worth noting that relatively few Europeans (including doctors and other talented, well-educated Euopreans) are clamoring to immigrate to this country.
everyone has good heatlhcare, and education is valued.
In the "A Very Open Letter from an Oncologist" published on HealthBeat in 2009, there is a lot of good information posted.
It's one of my favorite posts.


62 / the tasting panel / october 2017 IN THE BIZ BREAKTHRU BEVERAGE COLORADO LIVES UP TO ITS NAME AT DENVER WAREHOUSE by Ruth Tobias S ometimes you have to build walls to break through them. Before bringing its employees—formerly housed in four separate buildings—together under one roof, Breakthru, Colorado's leading alcohol-beverage distributor, surveyed them for input on the design of its planned 647,500-square-foot facility in northeast Denver. The result? Much more room to interact. Breakthru's new home opened late this spring and boasts collabora- tive spaces at every turn, from a lobby filled with hoteling stations and lounge seating to the Alchemy Room, a test kitchen and bar equipped for educating—and entertain- ing—both in-house and on-premise staff. There's a myriad of conference, huddle, and training rooms, and some hallways even have window seats with outlets to facilitate impromptu meetings. For Vice President of Operations John Johnson, the open layout "gets us back to a real family group, and it's the communication between people that helps us build our company." Granted, a state-of-the-art warehouse helps spur growth, too: all 565,000 square feet of it, complete with separate temperature-controlled storage areas for keg beer and wine. "In the old space, we had to say no to prospective suppliers sometimes because we didn't have the capabilities," Executive Project Manager Brittany Murrow explains. Capacity has certainly increased, and the installation of high-speed conveyors and robotic shuttle systems, including one for holding returns, has drastically improved efficiency: Johnson says they "already see trucks loading earlier to get to our customers earlier" at around 6 a.m. versus 10 a.m. Meanwhile, his prediction that the new warehouse "will attract some suppliers too" has already proven true with the addition of brands like Melvin Brewing to the portfolio. The new facility "improved Breakthru's culture almost immediately" in other ways as well, Murrow notes. More natural light, plants and largescale landscapes by noted photographer John Fielder "bring the outside in," while a wellness center with curtained partitions offers privacy to resting or nursing employees. Sustainability initiatives include the use of recycled construction materials, as well as the install- ment of LED motion-sensor lighting that produced $11,000 in savings in just the first month of occupancy. For this division of Breakthru—created just last year with the merger of the Charmer Sunbelt and Wirtz Beverage Groups—that alone portends a bright future. Breaking New Ground PHOTO: ANNA DE MASI, BREAKTHRU BEVERAGE GROUP PHOTO: ANNA DE MASI, BREAKTHRU BEVERAGE GROUP PHOTO: ANNA DE MASI, BREAKTHRU BEVERAGE GROUP Breakthru Beverage Colorado's new 565,000-square-foot warehouse represents a portfolio of nearly 8,000 SKUs. The entrance to Breakthru Beverage Colorado in Denver— note the pendant lamps made of recycled cardboard. The Alchemy Room is a test kitchen and bar for training demos, as well as beverage research and development.

So, I was carrying my rack of 5 tubes from the sink back to my table. I was halfway across the room, when my teacher said "Everyone freeze for a minute" like teachers do. I stopped, then during the teachers instructions, my test tubes somehow managed to all slip out of the rack... ONE BY ONE. So as the teacher was talking, he had to stop to see what the *SMASH!* was when the first one fell. He said to me "How long did you last as a waitress in the pub?" (He makes jokes like this all the time). At this point, most of the class were staring at me. I tried to make a witty comment back (Which was "Trust me, I didn't"). Then the second fell, then the third, then the fourth, then the fifth. All Mr Lister could do was stare at me, and say "Rarely, rarely, rarely." I spent the next 15 minutes sweeping up all the glass. Thankfully, a couple of weeks later, I moved science group, as I swapped textiles for triple science. But to this day, Mr Lister still gives me evils whenever he sees me in the corridors.
I'm sure I've said this before, but I once smashed an entire tray full of glass beakers in a science lesson.
We are SO in sync!
A few times in Science lessons in school I was supposed to be pouring water into a container, and the people working with me told me to stop as it was full, and i kept on pouring.Needless to say, the floor was very wet afterwards Lets say they don't trust me to do it anymore, and I'm pretty much useless at experiments.

I'm the same with the drinks. I try my best to focus but sometimes I get distract and make mistakes. I spilt milk all over the counter the other day.
compleatly misjudging where the table is and putting a cup down on the table and then watching the glass smash on the floor.

I always misjudge distances. My parents keep telling me to concentrate and not daydream, but the truth is, I am concentrating!!!
Was in bluewater shopping mall was sitting have a cup of hot chocolate with my familly when I dropped mine all down me in the reaction I knocked the table of hot drinks on me and got up and waddle to the toilet like nothing happend.

'Sex and the City' is getting a revival - but no Samantha
Kim Cattrall will not be returning
'Sex and the City' is officially getting the revival treatment at the show's home of HBO.
The series is headed for streaming service HBO Max. 'Sex and the City' debuted in 1998 and lasted for six seasons until 2004.
It also inspired two feature films in 2008 and 2010.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis are all set to return and reprise their roles of Carrie Bradshaw, Miranda Hobbs and Charlotte York, respectively.
Kim Cattrall, who played Samantha Jones in the original series and movies, will not be coming back.
Cattrall and Parker have a long-standing feud that goes back a number of years. Cattrall distanced herself from the role of Samantha and any 'Sex and the City' remakes back in 2017, including the possibility of a third movie.
The revival series is titled "And Just Like That..."
Parker, Nixon and Davis are also exec producing the series, alongside Michael Patrick King (who directed several episodes of the original). The three actresses shared the teaser below on their Instagram profiles.
A post shared by SJP (@sarahjessicaparker)
The revival will follow the three main characters' loves and lives as they navigate their 50s.
It will consist of 10 half-hour episodes. It hopes to start production in New York in late spring.

Celestial Stargazing - Anthony Gato
Post by Chyleste » Mon Dec 04, 2017 1:08 am
The lights come up on the familiar stage. Lexus Regal blows kisses to the camera as the music plays. "Hello Hello Hello, my lovelies! Welcome to Celestial Stargazing starring me, Lexus Regal! Thank you, thank you. Okay so like, today's show is just amazing! Everyone is so excited about this upcoming election." She glances over at the producer making it obvious that she was told to say that. "Yeah. So like very soon everyone will be voting for the best new president..." The blond looks offstage and shrugs. "Yeah okay Cody, the major or whatever. Anyway, so like, yeah. Okay okay so since my show is like where everyone goes to get the real scoop on everything, like I am interviewing all the candidates." She claps her hands a few times trying to keep her smile up. "Last show I had that one guy, uh, Samsung or whoever he was on the show. Today my special guest is the newest candidate, Anthony Grotto!" Lexus claps excitedly and steps back toward her seat as the guest comes out.
Re: Celestial Stargazing - Anthony Gato
Anthony Gato walks out dressed in a tailored suit. He waves to the camera with a charming smile and then steps over and hugs Lexus. The dark haired executive sits down. "Thank you Lexus. It is an honor to be on your show. This is the number one rated show in all of Celestial City. This is where the big names appear." He claps and Lexus beams as she claps along with him. Anthony smiles as they quiet down. Before Lexus can speak, Anthony raises his finger. "Before we start, I have brought a special surprise. Ladies and gentlemen, Lexus, let me introduce you to one of the great heroes of Celestial City, Celestial Star!" Anthony claps and motions for the heroine to come out. Lexus looks a bit confused but claps along.

Celestial Star makes her way out waving to the camera and smiling. Using her voice modulator "Thank you for the wonderful introduction Lexus, and Mr Gato. It's a pleasure to be invited again to Celestial Stargazing. She smiles and makes her way to her seat

Lexus looks over at the heroine a bit confused. She glances at Cody and then shrugs. "Uh, Yeah, welcome. I didn't know you'd be here. So like are you running for major too?"
Anthony chuckles and shakes his head. "No, Lexus. Celestial Star is here in the capacity of my security. Running for mayor in this city can be very dangerous. It cost my father his life. Celestial Star is here to ensure that we all stay safe."
The blond celebrity tilts her head and nods. "Oh, uh okay. Yeah that makes sense." She picks up the notecards and shuffles through them. "Anyway, let's get back to the interview. Um, so like you keep talking about making sure the laws are followed and stuff. Are you gonna like change any laws? I think there needs to be a law against things like, okay, so like you know how it has snowed and all? Well there is like wet slush all over the roads and sidewalks. It is like icky and stuff. If you become president, will you keep that dirty yucky slush from getting all over my car and shoes?"
The dark haired executive smiles. "Unfortunately I cannot control the weather. I will hire more crews to clean up the messier parts of the snow. I will have teams out working as quickly as they can to clear the sidewalks and remove the slush. Besides, most of the snow is very pretty. It also adds some new things to the city that you cannot do in the summer like building a snowman or going ice skating. I am sure you have a very cute ice skating dress that you look outstanding in, don't you?"

Lexus giggles and reaches over to put her hand on Anthony's knee. "Aww thank you. I do have an outfit from last year. It is like low cut up top and then the skirt comes down to about here on my leg. But that is last year's fashion. I like do need to go out and get a new skirt at least." The blond looks over at the producer. "Cody! Call Van Dyne's and tell them I will be in for a shopping spree when the show is over." Lexus turns back to Anthony and starts to slowly rub up his thigh a bit more. She smiles wider and glances up at him. "Mmm wow. Your legs are like nice. Do you work out? I like a guy who has like good leg strength and can like lift me up and ..." The celebrity pauses and quickly glances over at Celestial Star remembering that most couples that have been on her show ended up cockblocking her.

Celestial Star merely smiles to Lexus. Menatlly cursing Anthony for dragging her along she tries to think of things that Diamond would talk about. "Yes, a strong man is always appreciated. I am sure you see many Ms Regal. I wonder who has the strongest in the city. Perhaps that can be one of your shows, a strongman competition. I am sure the view would be appreciated." She gives Anthony a look that says I will pay you back for this

The blond smiles back brightly. She sits up with a very happy expression as if she is so proud that she knows the answer. "Oh yeah! That's easy. It's even in his name. The strongest has to be Captain Strong. Oh he has got muscles all over and just that skin tight suit mmm. I had him and Ms Schlong on my show once. She's knida bitchy but he is just mmmMmm."
Anthony tenses up as Lexus goes on about Strong. He shifts a bit in the chair and clears his throat. "Yeah that brings up the point of the biggest threats to the city. The actions of those who put themselves above the law like Captain Strong..." The young executive takes a deep breath. "That is why we need a stronger force of law and order. It is disgusting how our government and people have been threatened and bullied by powerful metahumans who openly declare they have no respect for the laws that were created for the good people of Celestial City. If I am elected, I will make sure that no one has to live in fear of those who abuse their power just because they want things their way. No one is above the law."
Celestial Star nods to Anthony happy she was able to distract the ditzy host. Diamond should be proud. She smiles "Yes, and I am honored to be made apart of your new vision Mr Gato"
Lexus leans back and blinks a bit surprised. "Uh, yeah. Well, I dunno about all that. I mean isn't Captain Strong like one of the great heroes? I mean when I...my good friend Superstar and Sushi saved the city from the Horsemen, Captain Strong is the one who helped us. Like he took that Horse girl or whoever it was that we got." She nods with a smile.
Anthony takes another slow breath. "That is exactly what makes it so bad. Captain Strong parades around in the public eye soaking up as much glory as he can to feed his ego. You have told the story about how Superstar and Suki helped to save the city from the Horsemen but Strong takes all the credit. He refuses to follow the same laws that everyone else does. He has openly refused to get a warden license. That makes him a criminal. Do you know, not only has he threatened the Protectorate, threatened to destroy not only the current government but the last three governments we have had in the city? Do you know how many administrations we have had since we were freed from Shiva? Three. Captain Strong has refused to follow any of them despite the fact that the good citizens of the city elected those governments. Now that we are electing another mayor, Strong shows up again making threats and throwing his weight around. Are we going to continue to allow people like Strong to force their will on our city? I will not stand for it. This city is for the people not to feed the ego of metahumans like Captain Strong."
Celestial Star frowns as Strong is a good friend and is really misunderstood, though its his own fault for the way he speaks. She just nods and remains silent trying to look like the professional hero that Gato wants
The blond hostess sits back and bites her lip as Anthony goes on about everything. She glances to Cody and the producer gives her a hand signal. Lexus sits back forward and puts on her best smile. "Uh, so like anyway, um, Cody tells me that you are like planning some kind of festival to get rid of the homeless people? That sounds like a good idea. I know I cannot stand the smelly bums all over the place. One stole my car. It was horrifying. I mean like even if he hadn't crashed it into the river I would never have been able to like get that smell out. Ew it was nasty. I am glad to hear you will be getting rid of all those yucky bums."
The dark haired executive settles back and lets out a breath. He nods as his smile returns. "Well, yeah but not quite like that. We are going to be setting up fundraising festivals where all the profits will be donated to charity. This will help fund the programs to house, clothe, feed and yes bathe the less fortunate. We will have celebrity shows at the festivals as well as other forms of entertainment. This should bring in a lot more money without being just another tax. Everyone has been proposing good ideas but I have not heard how they plan to pay for these things. We will be expanding and cleaning up the homeless shelter, creating a vocational rehab program, health care and a food bank. Everything will be over seen by a committee that will ensure that the less fortunate are treated properly. No one should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. That will also cut down on a lot of the petty crime in the city."
Celestial Star smiles getting a idea "Um if I may, why don't you host another Miss Celestial event for this? I am sure Lexus here would love to participate in a pagent to raise money for the less fortunate. Perhaps even a fundraising auction. A date with a hero or heroine. What man wouldn't want to get thier hands on someone like Superstar for a small donation?"
Lexus perks up and squeals. She smiles brightly and nods vigorously. "Oh yes! That would be a great idea! You know I entered that last one but I got ripped off. I think the other girls were all sleeping with the judges. It was all like a scam or something. I dunno but it wasn't fair. You really should do that again. We really need a true Ms Celestial City. I will gladly accept the crown."
Anthony chuckles at Lexus's enthusiasm. "That is not a bad idea. I am sure we can have another pageant. The city needs more feel good moments. I will look into getting it all set up. Yes Lexus you may enter the contest."
Celestial Star smiles and goes silent again allowing the 2 to continue the intervieew, doing her best to stay in the background and not draw to much attention to herself, especially from Lexus as she just gives Anthony a look

Lexus beams brightly and then Cody clears his throat. The blond looks over and nods quickly as she starts to shuffle through her notecards. "Okay, so like, uh, what is this crap, Cody? No one cares about these questions. My fans want to know the juicy stuff." The celebrity grins and leans forward. "So, Mr Grotto, like you have a reputation for being the most eligible bachelor in the city. Soooooo...if you become president, who is going to be your first lady?" Lexus sits back and smirks as she looks at the camera.
Anthony laughs. "Thanks for the compliment. I am sure there are plenty of other desirable men in the city. I don't really think there must be a first lady. Traditionally, that has been a title for a woman who just supports her partner, a bit more in the background. I would much rather have an intelligent, strong female perspective acting as more of a close advisor or even partner. It takes the views of all sides to properly run the city."

Celestial Star remains silent acting like the bodyguard. Though she cant help but envision the life Anthony is talking about, was he talking about her? Couldn't be right" She just watches the two lost in her own thoughts
Post by Chyleste » Tue Dec 05, 2017 10:34 pm
Lexus nods as if she were really paying attention. "Oh yeah, like we do need a woman's opinion. That's what the Missfits do. They show that girls are heroes too." The blond flips through the cards again and wrinkles her nose. "We need like a holiday for heroes. Like this big celebration, with like, ya know, parades and keys to the city and giving metals to the city's best heroes."

A Scale Canadian: Sea Blue... International Orange... Over A Prairie State?
Sea Blue... International Orange... Over A Prairie State?
For those of you who felt that my resin Grumman AF-2W Guardian wasn't quite esoteric enough (no pun intended, Rick and Doc) because nearly 200 were built and they had nearly 3 years in active duty service, I present to you my AM-1Q Mauler built from a kit Jim Bates sent me (prior to this gift I, I had long considered Jim a friend).
The Mauler was part of the design competition that lead to the development of the AD (A-1) Skyraider. Overengineered, overweight, overpowered for its role, one of them actually tore off its own tail during carrier qualifications. It suffered from the further misfortunes of coming from a company with no modern carrier-based design experience and facing off against an Ed Heinemann design in head to head competition. The first flight was in 1944, as the XBTM-1. The designation was changed to AM-1 in 1946 and first active duty squadron received delivery in 1948. Only about 150 AM-1s were built; they never entered full-fledged fleet service and were out of the regular Navy by 1950. (Given their protracted development, they actually served longer with the Naval Aviation Test Center at Pax River than they did in active duty squadrons!).
Eighteen were built as AM-1Q electronic countermeasures planes, meant to provide direct ECM support to attack missions. A second crewman operated the ECM equipment from a dungeon-like hole behind the pilot, where the main fuel tank was located in the attack birds. Reports suggest that NATC found the ECM suite nearly useless. The failure might in part stem from the fact the human factors (now known as ergonomics) for the ECM crewman were horrible. There was one side window, temperatures on the ground were excessive, and even at 25,000 feet (where external temperatures were -50° F) an ordinary flight suit was sufficiently warm. Oh, and egress in an emergency! Well, let's not think about that.
The kit is molded typically for a limited run eastern European model. The parts are soft, detail mushy, and casting gates substantial. The soft plastic proved problematic. I ended up with deep gashes from using a too-coarse sanding stick that worked just fine on Esci and Revell-Germany plastic.
Scott Van Aken describes the kit in some detail on Modeling Madness. His build-up is here. Others have raised concerns about the accuracy of the landing gear layout, but Google is blacking the SMAKR site right now so be careful.
One important omission is the Mauler's distinctive and complicated "finger" dive brake system. I attempted to scribe the dive brake apparatus, but was unable to get the 15 lines evenly spaced and parallel on any one of the 4 surfaces where I attempted it. After filling the failed attempts with Mr. Surfacer, let's just say the dive brakes fit *very* well on the Mauler I've modeled.
Overall fuselage fit is not too bad, though the carburetor scoop and wing to fuselage joints are rough. Wings are too thick and seem not to sit quite square. There were no wing pylons were included in my sample (nor called for in the instructions). The pylons were apparently part of a separate weapons set, but the large pylons just outboard of the main gear are structural elements of the wing and not detachable. I scratchbuilt mine from laminated sheets of .030 styrene, based on photo references.
The prop is a build it yourself deal, but it did not go well for me. I struggled with it throughout the build and lost most of the detail of the blade cuff through repeated sanding.
The interior is acceptable, with nice decals for the panel and consoles. I added decal and wine-foil belts and scratchbuilt the stick to replace the kit-supplied tree trunk.
Assembly was otherwise straightforward. The main wheels were utterly atrocious, with the hub standing proud of the tire by a scale 6 inches or so. At first I tried filling the gap with Mr. Surfacer and putty, which would have also brought the tire width closer to scale, but in the end robbed an old (rather brightly colored) Novo/Frog Beaufort of its wheels. They were the only 36 inch wheels with a reasonably correct hub in my spares box.
The canopy fit was poor due to the thickness of the plastic and the absence of a significant bevel on its mating surface. I addressed that by wrapping the fuselage with 320 grit sandpaper facing out, and running the canopy back and forth along the fuselage spine. Along with being thick, the clear plastic was also quite hazy. It cleared considerably after a Future dip.
Electronics bulges were carved from sprue scraps and added to the belly, along with a blade antenna and its housing. I left off the tail hook since these were not apparently fitted to the reserve birds. Hypodermic tubes replaced the kits molded 20mm cannons.
After the canopy was masked and lightly hit with black from a Tamiya rattlecan, Xtracolor International Orange, lightened slightly with Testors (square bottle) flat yellow was sprayed on the rear fuselage for the "Reserve" band. Even with a lacquer thinner accelerator, I gave the Xtracolor 2 weeks to dry before masking out the band. Then trusty Modelmaster Gloss Sea Blue went on everything. (I probably have more experience with this one paint and shade than any other in my shop.). The prop started with Testors rattle can white which was then masked for the spinner. Testors yellow went on the tips. After masking those, Tamiya rattlecan black was next for the blades. Once the blades were masked Gloss Sea Blue went on the spinner base.
Scratchbuilt radio altimeter antennae were added to the tailplane, new auxiliary gear doors and retraction links replaced the kit ones (which were thick enough to represent battleship armor), and the pitot arm was thinned by 50% and sanded to an airfoil profile. (photo). These were hand painted with GSB, and the ECM bulges were also hand done with Citadel Miniatures Rotting Flesh.
The decals were a special treat for me on this one. The AM-1Q's fleet service was very brief, and I could find no photos of active duty Q-birds. Ginter's AM-1 book has numerous shots of Maulers in the reserves. My first goal was to try to do one from Columbus because they carried yellow spinners and had that Ohio link, but I could neither confirm that they operated the AM-1Q there, nor come up with a source for a spelled-out Columbus. Even I, who regularly bangs together parts of Bureau Numbers from individual digits wasn't going to try for C-O-L-U-M-B-U-S by placing single letters in four places.
As I was going through my NAVAIR decals for ideas, I found my answer in an unexpected place. Two-Bobs decals did an IPMS Nats 2001 (Chicago) sheet that included an Orange-banded FG-1D from nearby NAS Glenview. The Ginter book has clear photos of AM-1Q 22351 serving at Glenview, and shots of other AM-1's illustrating all angles for markings except the wing upper surface. The lettering sizes for the FG-1D and the AM-1 were the same. I also had the appropriate Aeromaster plain white numbers. We were golden! Very nice kit decals provided basic insigniae and LSO angle markings for the tail. I did have to construct the BuNo from the kit decals and even found a tiny (scale 3 inch) O to serve as the Q in the model identifier above the BuNo.
After decaling, I added heavier exhaust staining than is my habit, but I wanted to come close to the photos. The overall finish was toned down by adding a few drops of Tamiya Smoke to Testor's SemiGloss clear lacquer. (Yes! They are compatible, a fact I learned in the ARC forums).
The canopy was unmasked (no disasters, Yay!) and buffed with an old T-shirt rag. The radio aerial at the windscreen was sliced from .010 plastic, painted GSB, and attached. For ease of handling and storage, I did not rig the antenna lines.
After a long, and mostly fruitful journey, I was done. Though it photographs nicely, there are errors in abundance including residual sanding gouges, significant malalignments, and even some open seams. Much like its 1:1 scale ancestor, it serves best toward the back of the shelf.
Jim, If you and Mr. G agree, I'd love it if you'd send me this review and the photos for use in our club newsletter.
Interesting post... Looks like solid state memory is finally starting to take off. Hopefully we'll start seeing decreasing solid state harddisk prices soon. 5 dollar 32 gigabyte Micro SDs for your DS flash card... imagine that!
