A new health insurance program for Coloradans with pre-existing conditions has enrolled just 800 people in its first year, but is costing much more than expected: more than $12 million so far.
Under the Affordable Care Act, Colorado is due to receive $90 million for its new high-risk health pool called GettingUSCovered.Actuaries predicted that 4,000 people would participate in the program between July of last year and January 2014, when the Affordable Care Act goes into full effect and insurance companies can no longer turn down people who have suffered previous illnesses.
Nationwide, high-risk health pools have also drawn far fewer people than anticipated. So far, about 30,000 people have signed up for the program across the country,well below the 200,000 to 400,000 who were expected to sign up between last year and 2014.
Our enrollment is not as high as originally projected, but the expenditures are much higher, said Steve ErkenBrack, president and CEO of Rocky Mountain Health Plans, the nonprofit health insurance company that has a contract to run Colorados high-risk pool.
The people who are accessing this program are very sick, and its fulfilling a very crucial need, ErkenBrack said.
Officials at Rocky Mountain Health Plans declined to give Solutions figures on the average cost per patient. They said the program is too new to provide accurate data and cited lag times in paying claims.In June, the average patient paid a premium of $355. Individuals pay monthly premiums ranging from $116 to $729 depending their age, where they live and whether they smoke.
Its unclear yet whether pent-up demand brought sicker people to the program in its first year. Those who sign up in the second year could have less costly health problems or costs could continue to exceed projections.
Because such sick people are joining GettingUSCovered, ErkenBrack said program managers may have to consider limiting enrollment, trimming benefits or hiking premiums to keep the program viable.
We may need to adjust premiums and adjust who can come into the program, ErkenBrack said. We may need to freeze enrollment for a bit. Thats very premature, but the bottom line is that we have a set amount of dollars.
In order to qualify for GettingUSCovered, patients must suffer from a pre-existing condition that would disqualify them from obtaining private health insurance. So, by definition they have medical challenges. And, they have to have lived without health insurance for at least six months.
Its not a program for low-income people. The patients also must be able to pay 100 percent of their premiums, which mirror those that healthy people would pay if they were buying individual health insurance policies in Colorado.
ErkenBrack said some of those who have signed up have been severely ill patients suffering from cancer or in need of expensive transplants.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius came to Denver last week to highlight successful prevention programs at Denver Health. While in Colorado, she also met with ErkenBrack to discuss a variety of health issues, including GettingUSCovered. ErkenBrack said he did not ask for additional funds for Colorados program.
At the end of the day, we have to maximize the $90 million and make sure it lasts for this amount of time. Running out of money is not an option, ErkenBrack said. We are looking at this very, very carefully and working with the feds to make sure the program works.
Sebelius told Solutions that high-risk pools were always intended as bridge programs to provide immediate help for people who have been shut out of private health insurance. She said the requirement that people be uninsured for six months has been a barrier along with the costs and the lack of knowledge about the program.
Colorado runs its own program with federal dollars. But in many states, the federal government is running the high-risk pools and has lowered prices to try to attract more patients. Sebelius has urged other states like Colorado to consider lowering premiums. But lowering premiums would only compound Colorados problems with soaring expenses and could also bring costs below market rates for private insurance.
Some critics of the Affordable Care Act have argued that stagnant numbers in the high-risk pools are an early sign that health reform wont work. Sebelius countered that even with relatively low enrollment numbers, high-risk pools are critical to the people they are serving.
There are thousands of people, thanks to the high-risk pools, who are getting care now, that in many cases they wouldnt have gotten. In many cases, its life and death care. Its frankly saving money in hospital systems. Absent the high-risk pools, these folks would still be coming to the hospitals in critical condition. They (hospitals) would just be uncompensated.
She said the pools are giving fragile patients stability until 2014 when we can have some really comprehensive care for these individuals.
Among Coloradans who need health insurance, but cant qualify for GettingUSCovered is Ashley Whitney, 28, a student at the University of Colorado College of Nursing. In order to be enrolled in school, she must prove that she has health insurance or buy it with her tuition.
Whitney pays $3,300 per year for the schools insurance, but said its essentially worthless because it has strict caps on medications and procedures.
Nursing student Ashley Whitney needs better health insurance, but can't go without it for six months to qualify for GettingUSCovered.
At 22, Whitney was diagnosed with Crohns Disease, which causes abdominal pain, digestive ailments and lung problems.
She is supposed to be taking a medication called Cimzia that costs $5,000 per month, but has stopped because she cant afford it and cant find health insurance that will cover such expensive medication.
The medication cap on her current insurance is $5,000 annually. She can reach that in one month. Theres also cap of $4,000 per procedure. A single MRI can cost her up to $8,000.
Whitney had never heard of GettingUSCovered and cant afford to go six months without insurance so she can qualify. First, she might get kicked out of school. Second, an illness could bankrupt her.
If I got sick, I dont know what I would do. It seems like every six months, something comes up, she said. When I get sick, I get really sick. It usually involves CT scans and hospitalizations. Im typically in for three to seven days.
In 2009, Whitney had to have surgery for her illness and in 2010 she went on a program called CoverColorado. Its Colorados older high-risk health pool that dates back to 1990. It does not receive federal funds.
For eight months, Whitney faithfully paid $385 per month to make sure shed have health coverage.
Its like paying for a second car payment. I was working overtime and I wasnt even sick. I thought, Why am I throwing all of this away?
When she did need medical help, she found the coverage lacking.
Every time I went to the doctor, I had to pay out of pocket to reach my $4,000 deductible and they didnt cover any of my medications.
So, after eight months, she withdrew from CoverColorado and decided to purchase the schools health insurance. While the coverage was poor, at least she could wrap it in to her tuition payments and use student loans to pay the premiums.
Its very upsetting. Its one of the worst things with health care today. People are willing to pay (for insurance) but you have to jump through millions of hoops to have decent health care, Whitney said.
She expects to graduate in December and hopes to get a job with good health benefits.
Prior to passage of the Affordable Care Act, people who couldnt get health insurance in Colorado could turn to CoverColorado. The nonprofit program still exists, but both CoverColorado and GettingUSCovered are slated to end once Colorados health exchange starts operating on Jan. 1, 2014.
Half of the funding for CoverColorado comes from premiums individuals pay. The other half is split between fees that insurance companies pay and funds from Colorados unclaimed property trust.
By Colorado statute, individuals pay 100 to 150 percent of what healthy people in the individual market pay. As of July 1, enrollees in CoverColorado will pay about 113 percent of the market rate, said executive director, Suzanne Bragg-Gamble.
As the economy has worsened, enrollment in CoverColorado has increased by 22 percent and now hovers at nearly 14,000 people. Money from the unclaimed property fund is running out and could pose challenges to CoverColorados managers.
Bragg-Gamble also works with Rocky Mountain Health Plans to administer GettingUSCovered.
She says there are two big differences in the programs. One is the funding source. CoverColorado gets no federal money. And, second, people cannot join GettingUSCovered unless they have been uninsured for the previous six months.
The rates for CoverColorado are also slightly higher since they are set at 113 percent of market rate while GettingUSCovered must provide premiums at 100 percent of the market rate.
Bragg-Gamble said its been difficult to get the word out about GettingUSCovered and some people who have answered a survey on the website have said they did not sign up because of cost. Nonetheless, shes pleased with the program.
I dont care what people projected. Weve got 800 Coloradans who have health insurance and theyre able to get care. Im not ashamed of that at all, she said.
ErkenBrack of Rocky Mountain Health Plans conceded that one challenge of the GettingUSCovered is that people are allowed to sign up for the insurance, have a medical procedure and then withdraw. If GettingUSCovered ultimately has to create waiting lists, people who leave may have a long wait to get insurance again.
Youd need to think twice before you drop out, ErkenBrack said.
He believes the costs for this program dont forecast how overall health reform will work. Part of the problem is that the patients may have costlier problems precisely because they were not getting regular care.
Illnesses dont get cheaper if you ignore them. They get more expensive, ErkenBrack said.
I view this program as very successful because it has found a way to cover people who really were not able to access the system, ErkenBrack said. This is a very narrow subset of the population of the uninsured. It would be unreliable to project out onto the entire Affordable Care Act.


something not merely new but startling and refreshingly different. And in that rare moment, what is born from the inspiration of one becomes an influence to many.
life -changing? If they alter how we see ourselves within our world, yes. Once in a great while, a designer is inspired to create something that asks why not? People might first wonder what for, until we realize it has transformed how we expect things to look, feel and perform. Enter the CLS-Class: a startlingly modern take on the rich heritage of four-passenger Mercedes-Benz coupes. Only with a door for every seat. And a flowing, muscular body that reshaped every four-door car that followed it. The tide has been turned. Lightbulb, meet your LED.

The passion to turn sparks into a bonfire.
A handcrafted biturbo V8 now with 550 hp hurls its 531 lb ft of torque through a new AMGdeveloped 4matic system, which promptly aims 67% of it toward the rear wheels. A multiclutch AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7speed transmission offers four selectable modes, while the AMG Adaptive Sport Suspension provides two. Flowformed or optional forged 19" AMG wheels help save weight. ECO Start/Stop helps save fuel when youre at a standstill. Hit the gas, and youll save time, rushing to 60 in 3.7 seconds.
If the CLS-Class had done nothing more than fuse the intimacy of a coupe with four welcoming doors, it would still have ignited the embers of driving passion. But a Mercedes -Benz never comes to life from a single spark of inspiration. The CLS can transform pressurized air into poised performance. It can enlist an army of LEDs to elucidate curves in the road, captivate its onlookers, and soothe its own inhabitants. It can watch for stalled traffic ahead, or sense a driver growing drowsy at the wheel. Most of all, it can fan the flames in its drivers heart, without ever losing its cool.
An advanced 402hp biturbo V8 and paddleshifted 7speed automatic join forces for a 5.1second 060 run.2 Innovations like Direct Injection and a new ECO Start/Stop system team up to elevate both performance and fuelefficiency.3 The semiactive, self leveling AIRMATIC air suspension and 18" wheels4 maintain pace with grace. Optional 4matic allwheel drive5 helps the CLS 550 tame slick roads and dry corners, yet it can sprint to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds with no loss of mpg.
All hail the new king of fourdoor coupes. From within its handcrafted biturbo V8 emerges the most potent output ever for a CLS: 577 hp and 590 lbft of pavement rippling peak torque. Its AMG performance 4matic system catapults the SModel to 60 mph in a scant 3.6 seconds, continuing on to a 186mph top track speed.6 On the way up and more importantly, back its red brake calipers and AMG Adaptive Sport Suspension provide visual and visceral delights through the darkened spokes of its 19" wheels.
The birth of timelessness.In astronomy or celebrity, the birth of a star rarely occurs without a significant degree of fanfare. Both a supernova and a supermodel have a way of not merely arriving on the scene, but owning it and drawing every eye their way. Years later, will the moment of their entrance be remembered as the start of something big? Only if the display of star power is backed by a demonstration of staying power. With its piercing headlamps, muscular shoulders and tautly arched roofline, the CLS-Class is an instant and scintillating standout, even amid the galaxy of cars that share the famed emblem in its broad grille. But while countless cars have rushed to emulate its sweeping profile, few can duplicate the depth of its engineering, or catch up with its innovative technology in just a few years. Trendsetting style may capture your attention for a moment. Whats below the surface makes the beauty of a Mercedes-Benz not just endearing but enduring. Timelessness is a quality thats affirmed by looking back. But its born by seeing far ahead.

Every CLSClass is motivated by a biturbo V8 whose advanced engineering can evoke more power and torque from less gasoline. Among its innovative technologies are highpressure Direct Injection and rapidmultispark ignition, both of which finetune their own response in a matter of a millisecond. An ECO Start/Stop system helps save fuel by shutting the engine off when the car is stopped. The 402hp V8 in the CLS 550 delivers all of its 443 lb ft of peak torque from 1,6004,750 rpm, leaving nothing but ultralow emissions and ultrahigh emotions as evidence of its performance.
The versatile 7speed automatic transmission offers you complete control of gear changes with both hands on the wheel, thanks to an elegant electronic selector and shift paddles. A dedicated Manual mode is included with either of the two Wheel Package options.
fuel economy and natural balance. And since torque is permanently maintained at a 45:55 front/rear split, 4matic is as rewarding in dry corners as it is reassuring in rain and snow.
For poised performance, the CLS 550 literally rides on a cushion of air, yet it generates truly gripping response in corners. Its semiactive AIRMATIC suspension teams adjustable air springs with a twomode Adaptive Damping System. ADS instantly adjusts each shock absorber every time its nearby wheel changes direction, up or down. Standard 4 wheel level control also draws the car closer to the road at higher speeds helping to reduce drag and enhance stability. Efficient electromechanical power steering and our Directsteer system collaborate for quicker cornering response, easier maneuvering and reassuring stability.

From the console, the AMG DRIVE UNIT lets you choose among four modes for the transmission, three for the suspension, and three for the ESP. You can also store a favorite setup and recall it via a single button bearing the AMG logo.
AMG has developed a new version of 4matic that obliterates every notion concerning the performance potential of allwheel drive. A 33:67 front/rear torque split plus a Torque Vectoring Brake feature in the SModels ESP Sport handling mode help to prevent unwanted understeer, while preserving agility and driving fun. The exclusive AMG suspension setup features steel front springs and rear air springs, along with three driverselectable modes.

More than a crown jewel of racing royalty, it authenticates a philosophy thats been the driving force behind championship racecars for 46 years. For the high-performance AMG automobiles that carry this motorsports pedigree to the streets of the world, One man, one engine is far more than a spiritual legacy. Its also tangibly evident in the meticulous engineering, proven endurance and superlative performance that three letters and one signature certify.

The elegant simplicity of sophistication.
The objective of technology is not to make us into superhumans or even supercomputers, but to unite new capabilities with known human nature. The driver of a CLS is presented with an abundance of advanced features that have been engineered not just thoroughly but thoughtfully. By replacing complexity with convenience, and challenge with easiness, freedom of choice can actually feel freeing. In the CLS cockpit, your hand falls naturally to every control. Its displays read at a glance. And its voice control can learn the way you talk. The CLS may look like a work of art, but it works like a masterpiece of simplicity.
optional PARKTRONIC, wood/leather steering wheel, and Premium 1 Package.
A coupe is not defined by the absence of doors, but by the presence of character. Before the CLS-Class became the worlds first four-door coupe, it first had to be a Mercedes-Benz coupe gracefully confident in its style and in its stride. And graced with an impeccably tailored four-seat cabin. While its self-assured demeanor is most evident to its driver, a CLS has a way of making each of its inhabitants feel equally at ease, and at one with the pleasures of motoring. With a flourish of hand-polished wood, a full- length console affords each occupant an individual comfort zone. Every seat is hand-fitted in supple, finely top-stitched leather, and contoured to embrace its sole occupant. Each artful detail is orchestrated to please the senses from the analog timepiece whose design recalls the classic Mercedes-Benz coupes of past, to the well-being imparted by the glow of fiber-optic ambient lighting. The result is a magical feeling that can be shared by everyone aboard, but with no other car.

The 3position memory recalls your favorite settings, and stores the drivers power steering column and side mirror positions. In addition to the standard 3stage heating, the Premium 1 Package adds Active Ventilated front seats, to elevate your comfort in any season. An available active multicontour driver seat lets you precisely tune the lumbar, shoulder and thigh supports. The seat can also increase lateral support during cornering maneuvers, and offer your lower back a gentle or invigorating massage upon your request.

§1301.11 Persons required to register; requirement of modification of registration authorizing activity as an online pharmacy.
(b) As provided in sections 303(f) and 401(h) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 823(f) and 841(h)), it is unlawful for any person who falls within the definition of "online pharmacy" (as set forth in section 102(52) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 802(52)) and §1300.04(h) of this chapter) to deliver, distribute, or dispense a controlled substance by means of the Internet if such person is not validly registered with a modification of such registration authorizing such activity (unless such person is exempt from such modified registration requirement under the Act or this chapter). The Act further provides that the Administrator may only issue such modification of registration to a person who is registered as a pharmacy under section 303(f) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 823(f)). Accordingly, any pharmacy registered pursuant to §1301.13 of this part that falls within the definition of an online pharmacy and proposes to dispense controlled substances by means of the Internet must obtain a modification of its registration authorizing such activity following the submission of an application in accordance with §1301.19 of this part. This requirement does not apply to a registered pharmacy that does not fall within the definition of an online pharmacy set forth in §1300.04(h). Under the Act, persons other than registered pharmacies are not eligible to obtain such a modification of registration but remain liable under section 401(h) of the Act (21 U.S.C. 841(h)) if they deliver, distribute, or dispense a controlled substance while acting as an online pharmacy without being validly registered with a modification authorizing such activity.


Laser Cutting Of The 7 Metal Effect Is Good, But Some Tips To Remember!
Because carbon steel contains carbon, light reflection is not strong, absorption beam is very good, carbon steel is the most suitable for laser cutting machine in all metal materials, and it is the best effect. So carbon steel laser cutting machine has an unshaken position in the process of carbon steel processing.
The application of carbon steel is more and more extensive. The maximum thickness of the carbon steel plate can be cut up to 20MM by modern laser cutting machine. The cutting seam of carbon steel by oxidation and melting cutting mechanism can be controlled in a satisfactory width range, and the slit of the thin plate can be narrowed to about 0.1MM.
Laser cutting stainless steel uses the energy released by the laser beam to the surface of the steel plate to melt and evaporate the stainless steel. For the manufacturing of stainless steel sheet as the main component, laser cutting of stainless steel is a fast and effective processing method. The most important technological parameters affecting stainless steel cutting quality are cutting speed, laser power, air pressure and so on.
Compared with low carbon steel, stainless steel cutting needs high laser power and oxygen pressure, while stainless steel cutting has a satisfactory cutting effect, but it is difficult to obtain complete slit without slag. Most of them will use high pressure nitrogen and laser beam coaxial injection to blow away molten metal so that the cutting surface will not be shaped. Any oxide. This is a good method, but it costs more than traditional oxygen cutting. One way to replace pure nitrogen is to use filtered workshop compressed air, which is made up of 78% nitrogen.
When laser cutting mirror stainless steel, laser film is needed to prevent severe scalding.
Although laser cutting machine can be widely used in various metal and non-metallic materials processing. However, some materials, such as copper, aluminum and its alloys, cause laser cutting to be difficult to machine because of their high reflectivity.
At present, the laser cutting of aluminum plate is widely used in fiber laser and YAG laser. These two equipment, whether it is cutting aluminum or cutting other materials, such as stainless steel, carbon steel and so on, have a good performance, but also can not process the thicker aluminum. The thickest 6000W can be cut to 16mm, 4500W cut to 12mm, but the processing cost is high. The auxiliary gas is mainly used to blow away the melting products from the cutting area, usually obtaining better tangent quality. For some aluminum alloys, it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of intergranular micro cracks on the surface of the slit.
Pure copper (copper) can not be cut by CO2 laser beam because of its high reflectivity. Brass (copper alloy) uses higher laser power and auxiliary gas uses air or oxygen to cut thinner plates.
The laser cutting quality of titanium alloy commonly used in aircraft manufacturing industry is better. Although there are a little slag on the bottom of the slit, it is easy to clean. Pure titanium can be well coupled with the heat energy converted by focused laser beam. The chemical reaction of auxiliary gas with oxygen is intense and the cutting speed is faster, but it is easy to generate oxidation layer on the cutting edge, and too careless will cause excessive burning. In order to be safe, it is better to use air as auxiliary gas to ensure the quality of cutting.
The majority of alloy structural steel and alloy tool steel using laser cutting method to obtain good cutting quality. Even with some high strength materials, straight and sticky slag trimming can be obtained as long as the process parameters are properly controlled. However, for high speed tool steels and hot die steels containing tungsten, there will be corrosion and slag sticking in laser cutting machines.
Nickel based alloys, also known as superalloys, have a wide variety of varieties. Most of them can be oxidized and melted.

If you've never heard that before, or something that basically means the same thing, I would guess that you either haven't been a Christian for very long or are not one now. That is probably one of the most common things I hear with regards to understanding the Christian faith.
For many people, that's not really very helpful just as it is. Whichever way you say it, it just doesn't seem to add up. It still seems somewhat circular in reasoning. So, how can we rationalize this without sacrificing our intellectual integrity? Perhaps if we were to take it out of the theological context and put it in a completely different context, it will make more sense to more people.
I was that bad. That was fun for me. I know. Like I said. Geek.
I say all that to point something out. Back in high school, when I was taking classes in algebra and geometry and trigonometry, etc., other students would often say things like, "How can x equal two different things? That doesn't make any sense!" But, when I looked at an equation where the variable, usually x, was raised to the second power (or "squared"), I automatically knew that x would have two values.
I got that. It was clear. It was perfectly easy to understand. No worries about it being contradictory or nonsensical. I understood that because I understood the underlying mathematical theorem's that made it possible. Because the foundational principles and laws of mathematics were known and trusted (i.e. I believed them), then it was quite easy for me to understand that x = 2 AND x = -7 were both correct. And, that there were no other values for x that would be valid in that equation.
It was because I trusted the theorems to be true. I learned why they were true later. But at the time, I knew that the fundamental basics and logic of mathematics were true. As such, when faced with such equations that one might have to use the quadratic equation to solve, it was clear to me that I would end up with two valid solutions.
The same thing is true with regards to Christianity. If you don't believe in God or Jesus or the Bible, then you'll be like the person who was saying, "How can x equal two different things?" But, if you have faith (trust) that God does exist and that the Bible is His Word, it makes a great deal more sense.
I'm sorry to tell you, it doesn't work that way. Like the laws of mathematics, you won't understand until you believe.
What are some other things that you have to believe/trust/have faith in before you can understand them?

Google unleashes real-time, worldwide trend reports for public use
Image: Ole Spata/Associated Press
By Adario Strange 2015-06-18 02:45:51 UTC
One of the hottest new categories of software development revolves around virality prediction. That is, determining what stories and social media trends are about to go viral.
On Wednesday, Google tossed its hat into the ring by expanding Google Trends and introducing real-time trend information — a tool that could change the way researchers and media channels deliver reports and stories.
See also: Silicon Valley: There's a case for Google buying Twitter
The real-time data tool gives users access to the roughly 100 billion monthly searches performed on Google. Available in 28 countries, the tool also merges information culled from Google News and YouTube to form trend reports.
To help explain some of the reasoning behind devoting so much attention to the area of data-driven storytelling, the Google News Lab team posted a video featuring journalists from The New York Times, Vox, ESPN's FiveThirtyEight and ProPublica, all explaining why data-driven journalism is important.
Testing the feature out across a broad range of searches, the data appears to be quite accurate and timely. For example, a search for the Golden State Warriors' Finals MVP, Andre Iguodala, shows relatively little interest over the past week. However, a sharp spike appears at around 11:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, around the time he won the sports award, with interest waning and quickly returning to previous levels as recently as 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
Sports Nerd Sidebar: Interestingly, the top related query was "Andre Iguodala wife," with NBA overall MVP Stephen Curry and Lebron James a distant second and third, respectively. (Based on that odd data point, perhaps Iguodala should be flattered.)
The general Google Trends tool has been available for many years now, but by adding a real-time element to the mix, Google could finally see the somewhat obscure tool gets some time in the data analysis spotlight. You can give it a try here.

The Netherlands Press Council - An introduction
The Netherlands Press Council (Raad voor de journalistiek)
1.	History
The origin of the Press Council in The Netherlands leads back to 1948. In that year the Netherlands Union of Journalists founded the 'Raad van Tucht', a disciplinary council, which functioned as a kind of Press Council until 1960. The competence of this disciplinary council extended only to members of the Netherlands Union of Journalists. In case of bad professional conduct the disciplinary council could impose one of the following sanctions: warning, rebuke, suspension, or expulsion as member of this Union. During the twelve years of its functioning the disciplinary council came to a judgement in fifteen cases.
An incident led to the institution of our present Press Council, the 'Raad voor de Journalistiek'. What happened? A journalist of a daily paper had published an article about a government statement, presented to the press under embargo. The journalist did not accept the embargo, because he already knew the content of this statement from his own sources. In reaction to this event the government excluded this journalist during one year from all information on the part of the government. The Prime Minister declared, when asked for his opinion in Parliament, that the government could not accept the disciplinary council judging this question, because the council was only competent to judge the members of the Netherlands Union of Journalists. So, if a journalist ended his membership, the disciplinary council lost its competence to examine the complaint and to make a statement. In reaction to this attitude of the government the Netherlands Union of Journalists reformed the disciplinary council into a council of opinion in 1960. This Press Council was given competence with regard to all journalistic practice, including the practice of non-organised journalists (in the Netherlands Union of Journalists).
2.	Establishment and financing
At present the Netherlands Press Council is established and will be maintained by a foundation named Stichting Raad voor de Journalistiek. In the Foundation all important media organisations participate:
the Netherlands Union of Journalists (Nederlandse Vereniging van Journalisten)
the Netherlands Society of Chief-Editors (Nederlands Genootschap van Hoofdredacteuren)
the Netherlands national news agency (Algemeen Nederlands Persbureau)
several co-ordinating organisations of printed press
(co-ordinating) organisations of public and commercial broadcasting
Recently the first Internet organisation Planet Internet joined the Foundation.
The board of the Foundation appoints the members, chairmen and secretaries of the Press Council. The Press Council consists of four (vice) chairmen, thirteen member-journalists and thirteen members-not-journalists. The chairmen and members all do theirs work in their spare time and beside their normal jobs. The chairman and his substitutes are members of the judiciary. The member-journalists have various jobs in journalism such as editor, editor-in-chief or freelance journalist. The non-journalist members have different positions in society, all in some way related to journalism. They work for example as a professor, teaching at a School of Journalism, or they have a non-journalistic post at a publishing or broadcasting concern. The secretary and acting secretary must be a lawyer.
Further the board of the Foundation determines the regulations of the Press Council.
3.	Mission
According to article 3 of the Statutes of the Foundation the Press Council is charged with the examination of complaints against violations of good journalistic practice. But not every complaint leads to such an examination. Only they, who are to be considered as directly involved in a case of journalistic (mal)practice, can complain. The complaint must concern journalistic practice of either a professional journalist or someone who, on a regular basis and for remuneration, collaborates on the editorial content of a mass medium.
Besides, the Press Council cannot treat complaints concerning the maintaining of the standard of good taste or general complaints against the press. The complaint always must be in regard of a specific matter, as far as journalistic practice is concerned. Since the change from a disciplinary council to a council of opinion the Press Council no longer can impose a sentence on the journalist. Neither can the Press Council assure the complainant financial compensation. The Press Council gives its opinion on a complaint and publishes its decision on its website and in the professional magazine for journalists. Also it circulates its decisions on a wide scale by sending it to the national news agency and to several other media. As a satisfaction to the complainant and as a contribute to the debate on journalistic ethics, it is of great importance that media publish the opinions of the Press Council, especially those on valid or partially valid complaints. The number of media, which actually publish in valid and partially valid cases, is now around two-third, and still growing.
4.	Procedure to complain
The procedure to file a complaint is very accessible; the complainant just has to send his complaint in writing to the office of the Press Council. No charge is made. Legal representation is permitted, not compulsory. After a complaint is received the journalist or chief-editor involved will be asked to respond on the complaint in writing within three weeks. Then in most cases a public hearing will be arranged. The Press Council is convinced that the best way of dealing with the complaints is to hear both parties, if possible. However, parties are not obliged to appear. In practice it occurs that both parties attend the hearing, that only the complainant or the journalist is present, or that both parties are absent. During the hearing both parties may explain their points of view. Further the hearing gives the Press Council the opportunity to ask questions and to explain the standards of journalistic ethics and the circumstances in which these standards must be realised.
The Press Council deals with an average of four to five complaints per hearing. At its sessions the chamber of the Press Council consists of at least three and not more than five members: a chairman and a proportional amount of journalist members and non-journalist members (1/1 or 2/2). If one of the members is suddenly unable to attend, the Press Council may deal with a case with four members if the parties present approve.
After the hearing the Press Council considers the case behind closed doors. The definite decision will be sent to both parties within eight weeks after the hearing. In its decision the Press Council asks the journalist or mass medium in question to publish the decision.
5.	Developments
Over the years the statutes and regulations have been adjusted. Since 1993 there is also the possibility of mediation between complainant and journalist. As from that same year the Press Council can give a statement of opinion about a case of principal interest on its own initiative. Up till now this has happened three times: about the use of stolen information by journalists (RvdJ 1995/32), about the use of hidden camera's and microphone's (RvdJ 1996/44) and about embargo (RvdJ 2003/50). Since January 2003 a complainant may apply for an accelerated treatment of his complaint. Further the Press Council introduces consistency in its decisions by expressing the tendency in its decisions, referring to its earlier opinions in similar cases.
The latest adjustments are made in 2005. Since February a term of six months is implemented, in which a complaint must be filed. Further in order to shorten its procedure the Press Council hired four freelance clerks, all working at the Council of State, to formulate draft decisions. Nowadays the parties receive an opinion approximately within four weeks after a hearing.
The Press Council is now looking into the possibilities and ways to play a more active role in the public debate on journalistic practice. More aims for the near future are to modernize the design of the website and to update the brochure. Furthermore the board will evaluate the work of the freelance clerks and try to collect more extra funds.

Quietly, quietly, the artworks and the poems and the stories keep being made in small towns and big towns and middle-sized ones, storms of beauty like butterflies migrating past one's hoary head. You'd think that by now every wall in every house in the world would be covered by works of art and that there would be a stack of poems by every chair, being read dawn to dusk, loudly or to oneself, by lovers of words. But no, most walls are bare, sporting at best religious icons, and at worst mass-produced pictures from yard sales and Walmarts, and the people read the crawlers at the bottom of TV news and the thin newspapers with even thinner words and zero matter for reflection. People complain of excessive mediatization, of too much TV, too-loud advertising, too many sensationalistic news stories, but I don't believe it. I think that a great big silence surrounds and suffuses us and that all the noise the world makes barely penetrates it, and that most people's inner lives are muted craters gurgling forth only the loopy monotony of one's own voice discussing misconnections and mortality in nonstop prose. And yet, over there, by the trees in the Vermont hills, lovely magical theater is being made for decades by the Bread & Puppet Theatre, and there by the Russian River, living for years in a house beneath the redwoods, poet Pan Nolan projects in lovely lines the issues of a consciousness intensely immersed in nature and irony, and a little up the ocean, in Prague, Vincent Farnsworth makes the cacophony of the band rehearsal next door into a manual for gracefully ageing, and just around the corner in Baton Rouge, Colleen Fava, burning sacrificially for art is reading Robert Musil in his wooly and unfinished entirety for the purpose of feeding her mind and pleasing her capricious teacher. So why is it, that all most people hear is their own lonely sorrow drowned in TV noise, and all they see is their insignificance barely kept at bay by shopping? The answer is that there are two devils: the Devil of Conformity who keeps us from seeing and hearing what artists make and thus condemns us to sterile solitude, and the Devil of Art and Joy who is fighting the Devil of Conformity as we speak. Today, in the deep laziness and profound tedium of summer, go out and buy an artwork and a book of poetry and keep it talismanically around, or take it with you into the waves. You must quit boring yourself.

English in a Spanish Evangelical church. Cristo Vencedor – Christ the Victor – is an international church in the province of Almeria, Spain. This is our home church, located in the town of Huércal-Overa.
A truly dual language church, encompassing worship and word. The church has developed and grown and now encompasses far more than a mere translation of a Spanish Sunday service into English.
We are an International church, an exciting fulfillment of a 'vision with passion', and a wonderful demonstration of how God puts things – and people – in place.
Two years ago Abuelo & I were settled in the province of Tarragona, working on our farm in the sierras. We had moved there from south-western Andalucia – he is Sevilla-born, and Jerez de la Frontera is my adopted home town – but it was in the north-east that we thought we would be developing a future.
Then God spoke to us, simply saying, 'I want you to go to Almeria'. Within 30 days we had packed up and moved back 'down south'- though this time to the eastern coast.
To what we were moving, we knew not.
Of course, being God, He knew(!), and within a short time the process of events began that has led to this church plant.
That process included the gathering of a people of 'many different tribes and tongues'.
Andrés is natural-born Spanish, with an exceptional fluency in English plus a full command of the Portuguese language. Andy, the original visionary of the church, is natural-born English, perfectly able to minister and interact in Spanish.
– English speakers who speak some Spanish, and those who speak none.
The church website includes information pages, together with a map and contact details for English speakers.
Our neighbours, within a half-hour or so, include Albox, Arboleas, Mojacar, Los Gallardos, Garrucha, Turre, Taberno, Santa Maria de Nieve, Los Carrascos, Los Llanos, Vera.

Devon Anderson Shoots the Messenger!
Posted on January 27, 2016 by Don Hooper
The messengers have been indicted. Yesterday, Mary Lou Keel's grand jury indicted David Daleiden and Sandra Merritt for their involvement in the Planned Parenthood investigation. Keel, the judge of the 232nd District Court is currently running for the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
This result was foreshadowed by District Attorney Devon Anderson's prior decision making. As you likely know, Devon Anderson was appointed by Rick Perry to the position after her husband, Mike Anderson, passed away months into his first term. Following this appointment, Devon was placed on the 2014 ballot to complete her late husband's term. On December 20, 2013, after she knew that she did not have a primary opponent, a Harris County grand jury no billed Douglas Karpen, a local doctor accused of performing late term abortions. Four former employees of Karpen accused him of delivering live babies during the third trimester and killing them by snipping their spinal cords or twisting their necks. The evidence was compelling and any decent prosecutor from the DA's office could have taken the case to trial with these witnesses. Anderson of course no billed Karpen. Anderson decided to stick with capital murders on video. That is the level of evidence that she is comfortable with.
One of Anderson's largest campaign contributors is a criminal defense lawyer named Chip Lewis – Karpen's attorney.
Devon Anderson has highlighted the work of Ann Johnson, hired by Mike Anderson to "specialize and combat human trafficking." In 2012, Ann Johnson ran as a pro-Planned Parenthood Democrat against State Representative Sarah Davis.
Anderson has never been called to task about her judicial bypass record as a District Court Judge.
Here we are and Devon Anderson is again on the ballot. Now, she seeks a full term as District Attorney – again, without a primary opponent. Devon Anderson and her arrogance have succeeded in going where no DA has gone before. Can you imagine a sitting Harris County DA going to the left of the Los Angeles District Attorney or the Manhattan DA's office? Is this Texas Justice?
While we wait for the records to appear on the Harris County District Clerk's website, you may research Devon Anderson on Big Jolly. You need to ask yourselves why Dan Patrick, Ryan Patrick, Jared Woodfill, Hotze, and others have been such big supporters of the Andersons. Hate to say I told you so, but….

This blog was started in response to a cyberbully by the name of Murray Newman. Newman blogged anonymously until he was fired for incompetence from the Harris County District Attorney's office. Newman had started a blog called "Life at the Harris County Criminal Justice Center" and had neither registered the domain or the DBA, I did. Newman regularly published untrue statements about my wife who he had never met. Today there are several Judges who regularly give him court appointments and Murray can often be seen schlepping vouchers to them for signature. God help his clients.

Behind the scenes- Mamma Mia
Emily Danielsen September 21, 2019 in NEWS Tagged Emily Danielsen, mamma mia, MCFTA, musical - 4 Minutes
The Midland Center for the Arts is hosting "Mamma Mia". After a year and a half of preparation, the 36 cast members will take the stage starting on Friday, Sept. 20-29.
Auditions were one of the first steps to bring the musical to life.
"The first night, they did a dance and then they sang a song of their choice," director Tommy Wedge said. "Then for callbacks, they came back and sang a song from the show and read some lines from the show."
Once the rights to the musical became available, it was a question of which theater would do it. Instead of competing against each other, Pit & Balconies, Bay City Players and the Midland Center for the Arts have all been working together on this project. These three centers have done all of the castings at each theater. The cast is also performing at Bay City Players.
While working at Saginaw Valley State University, Wedge decided that he needed more of a creative outlet in his life.
"Once I applied to direct, I got my foot in the door," Wedge said. "Then one job led to the next and now I am still full time at Saginaw Valley, but I'm also still able to contribute in the community."
Tickets are for sale on the Midland Center for the Arts website, starting at $25. The show will be in the main auditorium that can sit up to 1,500 people.
