new health care bill pros and cons
As the Health care bill were passed from the Congress, now getting into the Law maker sign off. But before that, there’s been some change about the Health Care reform it self.
Cause of that, some argue will makes the new health care bill in pros and cons. We’ve been remembering about Rep. Brian Baird from Vancouver Democrat that says:
“I wanted to be absolutely sure of the pros and cons” of the bill, said the Vancouver Democrat, who is not seeking re-election. “It’s one thing to read it. But it’s another to understand it.”
New Health Care Bill – Pros:
* Everybody can have health insurance if they want it.
1. Insurers will not be able to stop paying for people who are sick, even if they lose their jobs.
2. People who cannot afford health insurance won’t have to pay as much money.
3. People who are already sick will be eligible for healthcare.
* In the long run it will (hopefully) reduce medical costs significantly. Rising medical costs are the main reason the long-term budget projections are so alarming. Something has to be done. Unfortunately, this bill might not do enough. While there will definitely be some savings, it’s not clear that they will be as transformative as hoped.
* Health insurers can no longer cap coverage. In other words, they will no longer say that they have spent enough on you and you’re on your own for the next hundred thousand dollars. This should reduce medical bankruptcy.
* There will be increased competition in the insurance market. It might be from a public option. It might also be from some kind of non-profit, state-specific co-operative. This might push the healthcare companies to lower costs and provide better service.
New Health Care Bill – Cons:
* For the first ten years, it will cost about $100 billion a year. This is about the yearly cost of the Iraq War.
* The bill might increase the cost of health insurance. This depends on whether the gains from increased efficiencies and increased competition are outweighed by the cost of providing additional benefits.
* The Individual Mandate. You will have to either buy health insurance if you don’t have it or have a 2% tax increase. This insurance will be subsidized—but there is no guarantee that the subsidy will suffice for your specific situation.
* There will be a tax increase on very high income people. If you are making more than half a million (or maybe a full million) you will have about a 1% tax increase.
* Other stuff that might be good or bad, depending how you see it
* Increased government involvement in healthcare. Government already pays for huge amounts of healthcare—so this won’t be anything new.
* Additional regulation on insurance companies. This might increase costs. It will increase quality.
* Physicians will have increased access to information about what treatments are most effective for their cost. If two treatments work equally well and one is cheaper, doctors can recommend that one. This was almost universally considered a good thing until a few years ago, but some people have started criticizing it lately.
* Large employers may also have to offer health insurance to more of their employees. If they do not, they may have to pay some extra tax.
Things that isn’t true:
* Death Panels
* Nazis
* Inability to choose your doctor
* Healthcare will be “rationed.” My conservative buddies will claim that this will “inevitably lead” to rationing. I disagree. I do think we can agree that there is nothing in the healthcare bill that will reduce the amount of healthcare available. The topic of what counts as “rationing” healthcare (and whether we already do it) is complex and contentious—but the healthcare bill will not directly cause additional rationing.
* Bureaucrats will tell doctors how to do their jobs (in ways that they don’t already do).

Breaking Bad
catamount
There was no way Vermont could turn back the clock to 2005 of last night.
The Catamounts faced a hostile crowd as they tried to repeat their fabled upset of Syracuse 5 years ago in Worcester, this time in the unenviable position of a 16th seed. The No. 16s are 0-104 in the era of the 64- and 65-team NCAA fields.
The Orange (29-4) will meet No. 8 Gonzaga here tomorrow at 12:10 p.m. after the Bulldogs held off Florida State, 67-60. Vermont, which equaled its school record for victories, finishes at 25-10.
With the crowd of 18,948 roaring, the Orange exploded to a 35-10 first-half lead and survived a 15-2 Vermont run that pulled the Catamounts within 37-25 at the break. Syracuse quickly put Vermont away in the second with four 3-pointers in the first four minutes.
“Walking into the arena just to see how huge it was and that it’s going to be packed with Syracuse fans, you realize you’re there and it’s not playing Stony Brook in a packed gym of 1,500 fans,’’ said Vermont senior Marqus Blakely, who had team highs of 17 points and nine rebounds in his final game. “This is the real deal. The fact is we went out there and never gave up. The scoreboard might show something different but I’m proud of all of my teammates.’’
“It was awful. I was worried about it all week,’’ said a smiling Vermont coach Mike Lonergan. “I felt like I was going to be at the Carrier Dome II. It was pretty impressive . . . Seeing all that orange, we got off to a bad start.’’
Even with 6-foot-9-inch Arinze Onuaku out with a leg injury, the Orange put five players in double figures with Wes Johnson leading way with 18 points and Scoop Jardine 14 off the bench.
Evan Fjeld was the only other Catamount in double figures with 13 points as Vermont shot just 23 of 66 from the field and 5 of 22 from 3-point range.
“Vermont is a good team. They played well all year,’’ Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said. “I just thought we played very well. Vermont made no mistakes. Usually we need to force some turnovers and we could not do that. But we forced their shooters out a little bit and made them take some tough shots.’’
The Joseph brothers, Maurice of Vermont and Kris of Syracuse, shared a big embrace and head taps in the center circle as they were introduced prior to tipoff. (Kris outscored his brother, 8-7).
Vermont scored the game’s first points on Maurice Joseph’s 3-pointer 68 seconds in but the Catamounts then went stone cold. Vermont missed its next nine shots as Syracuse went on an 11-0 run. It was 15-8 when the Orange blew it open as Jardine, who averages 8.8 points per game, poured in 11 to spearhead a 20-2 run that had the crowd in party mode with a 35-10 lead.
Blakely was scoreless until canning a jumper with 5:26 left in the half. But he finished with 9 points, including a trio of rim-rocking dunks that had the Vermont fans out of their seats as the Catamounts closed within 12 at the break.
finding nemo
Pleasure to the fishes in the deep-water of sea, and pleasure of the 9,000 childrens of every age who attended to “Disney on Ice: Finding Nemo” on The dark at Van Andel Arena.
It’s the dearest story of an individual dad, i.e. Marlin, who, with the assistance of a scatty Blue Tang fish called Dory, explores the broadest sea for his missing son, Nemo, the clownfish.
We see Nemo and his daddy in the brilliant red coral reef where they reside.
It is entertaining to watch out the action on the water ice as Marlin and Dory float their minds out to find out Nemo, but even greater to buzz scary-cool, larger-than-sea-life types specified Bruce the shark and the big whale.
The giant, in a sort of scriptural sequence, eats up the pair and they consider certainly as they’re fish food. He was big and made a few of the small ones in the bunch to stare round-eyed at him and his target, whom one could watch inside of him when he steamrolled on the murky sea.
In the meantime, back at the fish tank, Nemo has been plunged into a tabletop fish tank in a dental practitioner office, among unusual aquatics specified bloat the blowfish and Peach the sea star.
With a good story at its center, fantastic, amusing characters, and impressive costumes, lighting and arrangements, “Finding Nemo” interprets very well by movie to ice.
In a point of fact, one may go until now as to tell that a swimmingly blast was had completely. Finding Nemo is a great movie after all.

Just love this sexy picture of Kim Kardashian in a very form fitting purple dress that was taken between takes in a photo shoot.

Google TV Should Finally Push Apple TV Beyond A “Hobby”
For the past couple of the years now, when talking about the Apple TV product, Apple likes to throw out the word “hobby.” It’s as if they’re ashamed of the device. And considering sales are anemic next to Macs, iPods, and iPhones, it’s no big surprise that they talk this way.
But there’s actually nothing to be ashamed of. The Apple TV is a good product. Apple just needs to put some proper time and energy into it, to expand it to its full potential. And news today about the so-called “Google TV” should do just the trick.
Apple and Google are on the verge of war. The formerly close allies are increasingly competing in key spaces for both, and the living room is likely to be a new battleground because it’s still very much up in air. As the New York Times reported yesterday, Google is working with partners including Intel, Sony, and Logitech to bring a Google TV experience into the living room. This is, of course, where the Apple TV resides. And Apple would be foolish to simply cede any ground it does have to its new favorite rival just because it’s focused on other things (*cough* iPad *cough*).
That’s a Microsoft move.
As Nick Bilton points out, this Google TV would be based around the Android platform. This means that the key idea is likely to have third-party developers work on it to make applications built for a television set. That’s easier said than done, but Android’s open nature should yield some interesting results rather quickly.
Apple, meanwhile, is of course anything but open with regard to their devices. In fact, the Apple TV is entirely closed right now, as only Apple is able to modify its software (without hacking it, of course). I suspect that will change, following this revelation.
The idea of running iPhone-style applications on the Apple TV has long been a sexy one. Hell, people have even ported apps over to a TV screen to show how well it could work. The main problem with developing iPhone apps for the Apple TV seems to be resolution. With the iPhone (and iPod touch), Apple offers only one screen size/resolution, ensuring developers have an easy time making great-looking apps — while at the same time, making sure end users have a great experience.
But the iPad has already changed everything. With their new device, Apple has kept things as simple as possible by making iPhone apps scale up two times to work on the bigger display, but it’s still shows a willingness to move beyond the one screen size. Unfortunately, with the Apple TV, it can be attached to a screen that could be a huge variety of sizes, so it would be hard to control that.
Google doesn’t care about that because Android already runs on dozens of phones with different screen sizes. But Apple clearly cares about how apps look on its devices (so much so that the iPad itself was likely designed at a strange ratio simply to make scaling apps look as good as possible). So does that mean they start offering an actual Apple TV (as in a screen)? Rumors of that have been around for a long time. Or maybe they black-box apps to a certain resolution — similar to what they’re doing on the iPad when an app isn’t scaled up?
Who knows. But what I do know is that upon hearing this Google TV news, the Apple TV became a little less of a “hobby” yesterday.
Aside from calling it a hobby, Steve Jobs has referred to the Apple TV as being a potential “fourth leg” of a chair Apple is building. Leg one is the Mac, leg two is the iPod, leg three is the iPhone, and Jobs had hoped the Apple TV would complete the chair one day. But it seems clear now that he thinks the iPad could be the fourth leg instead.
Screw that. I think it’s time for Apple to build a whole dining room set of furniture. We, as consumers, need a living room arms race between Apple and Google (and Microsoft, TiVo, Roku, Boxee, and the rest) to kick the cable companies’ shitty television user experience to the curb.

minnesota twins
Minnesota Twins – 2010 MLB Baseball season preview
It’s kind of hard to imagine that just a few seasons ago the Twins were a candidate for the contraction. Now in 2010 they open a new ball park. Of course giving up the confines of the Homer Dome is one of the big questions facing this team, which will feel like they are in limbo until they can get catcher Joe Mauer’s autograph on a big phat contract extension. They have Mauer for this year, and they might have to make a serious run at a title to keep him. Other random thoughts abut the Twins include the size of their payroll, small market budget my foot.
I cannot believe that they are going to play baseball outside in Minnesota in early April, or late fall. I lie in Detroit, Michigan and I have been to my share of snow interrupted opening days here, I cannot imagine playing baseball outside, that early, further to the north.The Twins have also given up one of their key advantages, they knew how to play in the dome and hit very well there. I cannot imagine, balls flying out of the new park in frigid air like they did in the dome.

le bistro lighthouse point
Kitchen Nightmares: Le Bistro and the Man Who Can Do No Wrong
This week on the Kitchen Nightmares, Gordon Ramsey took on the man who could do no wrong. He was Andy, chef owner of Le Bistro in Lighthouse Point, Florida. Despite mounting debt and customers who never return, Andy was sure that he was doing everything right at his restaurant. Do you know why? Because he was trained in Europe and in Europe they know food.
Yep, this guy says that Americans don't understand good food. That's why they keep returning half cooked steaks and duck pate with bones in it! This guy even had the nerve to tell a customer to order something else when she asked for her steak to be cooked to medium and not rare. No, wait. He didn't have the nerve to tell the customers, he made his wife do it.
That's what really aggravated me about this chef. He thought he was king of the kitchen but he made his staff deal with the angry customers who got bad food or no food at all. The best bit was how only one waiter was allowed to take all the orders in the bistro to make sure the orders didn't come in too fast.
In order to prove how bad the service was, Gordon waited almost an hour after one group had placed their order at Le Bistro, then he went four doors down to a seafood restaurant, ordered an entree, received it and was eating and still the people at Le Bistro had no food. And the fish he ordered even tasted good!
In order to get the chef to listen, Gordon took Andy and his wife Elin out on a lovely cruise, only once they were underway, he sprung a hold full of unhappy customers on Andy, which was a bit mean. He was stuck there listening to everyone tell him how bad his food and service were. Not that it helped.
By the end, though, as is usually the case on Kitchen Nightmares, Andy got the message. He implemented Gordon's new menu, let his sou chef help cook and for awhile, he upped the level of service. But even with this new attitude, you have to wonder if it's too little too late for these places.
I did some checking and Le Bistro is still in business and claims to have won lots of awards (and not just since Gordon was there which seems odd.) But the most telling piece is an article written by the critic who was in the episode where he talks about the process and how chef Andy dealt (or didn't) with the changes Gordon handed down. Check that out right here.
Andy can criticize, but it does seem like Kitchen Nightmares was a dream come true for the business.

The Lord of the Rings: Aragorn’s Quest – Playstation Move support confirmed
More Sony Playstation Move news for you now, as it has been confirmed that Lord of The Rings: Aragorn’s Quest will be added to the growing list of titles which will support Sony’s latest motion control technology.
As reported from MCVUK, Aragorn’s Quest will be available for the PS3 alongside the PS Move release in Autumn, meaning that this is a confirmed launch title – we’re sure there are many games to follow in the next few months.
As for the game itself, Aragorn’s Quest is a hack and slash type of game, where players will be able to play as Aragorn through events in the LOTR trilogy. Warner Bros has stated that elements of the game will be enhanced to make full use of the Playstation Move’s features, such as gestures and accurate sword swings.
You’ll also be pleased to know, that you can team up with a friend using motion controls, where you can play as Gandalf in a separate co-op mode.
Ocean State Job Lot
It’s been four months since OSJ PEP Investments purchased the property at 70 Brown St. in the heart of Wickford, and only one thing is clear about its future use: it will not be a Job Lot.
“We have plans,” said Job Lot vice president of operations Richard Portno. “But it is not going to be a Job Lot. It’s way too small.”
The building includes 5,200 square feet of retail space, much less than what the company requires for one of its stores. In comparison, a Job Lot store that is set to open in Cranston in mid-May will be approximately 34,000 square feet. Job Lot currently operates 92 stores throughout New England and New York state, and is planning to open three more in March. The Cranston store would be number 96.
Portno said the company typically looks for buildings that are between 30,000 and 35,000 square feet for its stores. He said Job Lot will start working on plans for the Wickford building in earnest in late spring, but he would not discuss possibilities for its use.
“It will be very suited to the village of Wickford,” he said.
North Kingstown Town Manager Michael Embury said no plans have been filed with the town for the building’s reuse.
“We don’t know what their plans are,” he said. “We’re just sitting here waiting to see what they come forward with.”
Barbara Cullen, head of the Wickford Village Association, also has not heard what will be done with the building, which was home to Ryan’s Market, a North Kingstown institution founded in 1886. Faced with increasing competition, the building was put up for sale in 2007 and the market closed the following year. The building has been vacant for nearly two years.
Cullen, owner of the Mystic Scrimshanders shop on Main Street, said the Village Association welcomed redevelopment of the building and its members are anxiously waiting to hear what will happen to it.
“We’re excited that something is happening because it’s been empty for so long,” she said.

Sexy Gowns at the 82nd Academy Awards 2010
Credit: BAUER-GRIFFIN.COM
The fashion scene on the red carpet was subdued this year with no outrageous or unique outfits appearing on the red carpet.
Although, the fashion looks were subdued, there were still many glamorous gowns gracing the red carpet.
The 82nd Academy Awards also played out in a most unusual manner this year, with the lowest grossing, limited addition film - The Hurt Locker beating the highest grossing movie Avatar.
Even more ironic, both directors - Kathryn Bigelow of The Hurt Locker and James Cameron of Avatar were formerly married.
Kathryn Bigelow wore a titanium silk satin gown with embroidered bodice from Yves Saint Laurent with earnings and bracelet by Boucheron.

Oh, an Kathryn Bigelow also became the first woman director to receive an Oscar for directing.
Even more ironic, Sandra Bullock winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for her role in The Blind Side, also earned the worst-actress trophy the Razzie for her performance in All About Steve.
Sandra Bullock wore an embroidered lace and silvery metallic Marchesa gown on the red carpet, which served as a fitting background to her golden Oscar.
She even appeared at the Razzie awards in person to accept the award, which made her the first actress in a number of years to accept the Razzie award in person.

Colossal Squid
Believed to be the largest known invertebrate, make the Colossal Squid a giant in terms of the other species of its family. The Colossal Squid was discovered and then inevitably named in the annum 1925 by the British Zoologist Guy Coburn Robson who named it M. Hamiltoni under the genus of Mesonychoteuthis.
The span in length of the Colossal Squid is estimated between the range of twelve and fourteen meters though a full sized Colossal Squid hasn’t as yet been found. The estimate of the squid was based on under developed squids of the same species by predicting their full growth span according to their growth cycle and the age they were at when observed.
The Colossal Squid has its variation when it comes to the tentacles as compared to the giant squid. The Colossal Squid has sharp hooks, some of them with three points while others which swivel, evolution, you might think from the giant squid whose tentacles only have little suckers engrained with small teeth.
The Colossal Squid has a bigger head than the giant squid but falls short on its tentacles which are measured to be shorter than those of the giant squid. These proportions significantly increase the overall weight of the Colossal Squid which also has the largest eyes ever to be witnessed in the animal kingdom apart from having a beak that reveals its abyssal gigantism.
The Colossal Squid is known to inhabit the Southern Ocean where it has been spotted in the waters between Antarctica and South America and then between New Zealand and the bottom tip of South Africa.

Congrats to Jeff Bridges (Best Actor) and Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett (Best Original Song) on their well-deserved Oscar wins earlier tonight.
The obvious thing would probably be to post “The Weary Kind,” but I kind of like the idea that Ryan Bingham has recorded more than the two songs on the Crazy Heart soundtrack, so here’s the music video for “Country Roads” instead.

Khloe Kardashian on tape
We all saw the juicy film with Kim Kardashian and the rapper Ray J. The funny thing is that Kim's Sister Khloe Kardashian it thinking to make a similar movie but not for all of us. She would like to send a movie to her husband the L.A. Lakers basketball player Lamar Odom which she married in September 2009 so he could have a good time with her even if she is not around.
Well I don’t know what to say about that but I think that she would just love for the movie to come out in public and to get some of Kim Kardashian's glory. It must be tough to have Kim Kardashian as a sister. But nobody would know better than Khloe Kardashian. For all as we know it can just happen we would not mind it or would we?
