The wiki is being retired!
Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!
This page is about the "All Virtual All The Time" GSoC 2008 project. This project aims to create a modified Linux-As-Bootloader coreboot payload that contains a custom Linux kernel modified to include KVM support, uClibc, a custom busybox image, and whatever is needed to get KVM up and running in the ROM image. See this screenshot if you want to see it in action.
Prebuilt ROM image
I have prepared a pre-built image that you can use in qemu to see what's this all about without having to spend considerable time to compile it.
These are some copy/paste instructions that will fetch it and run it in qemu(yes, you should already have it installed):
wget http://panzer.utcluj.ro/~alien/coreboot/AVATT/BIOS/bios.bin -O /tmp/bios.bin wget http://panzer.utcluj.ro/~alien/coreboot/AVATT/BIOS/vgabios-cirrus.bin -O /tmp/vgabios-cirrus.bin qemu-system-x86_64 -L /tmp -hda /dev/null -m 768 -serial stdio
If your bandwidth allows, you can also get a disk image, extract it and pass it as the -hda parameter of qemu instead the /dev/null file so that you can mount it and try to run VMs of the CD ISO images present inside it. This won't work for now, see the "Current Status" section to find out why.
Building from scratch
Needed tools
First of all, you need a x86 Linux distribution with gcc > 4.2, since currently the build fails under x86-64 and gcc-3.x doesn't support some compiler flags we are using. Eventually this will get fixed in the future.
In order to build this stuff you need a modified version of buildrom that can be cloned from my git repo using this command:
git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/kvm-coreboot.git
You also need to have installed some of the prerequisites of buildrom. The slackware folks ;] may prefer to skip this and then fix by hand any encountered build failures by installing only the missing programs.
How to build
Just type make from within the buildrom directory and everything should get built.
(Optional step) If you wish to make some adjustments you may do it by running one of these commands, but normally you shouldn't need to do this:
make menuconfig (for buildrom) make kernel-config make uclibc-config make busybox-config
How to run the ROM image you just built
You should read the QEMU Build Tutorial and the QEMU pages to see how to run a BIOS image with qemu, but since this howto aims to be as short as possible, here you have just the minimum information you need to get it running ASAP
It's quite handy to have a symlink to "deploy/emulation-qemu-x86.rom" in your $HOME with the name bios.bin, and in the same directory you should have the Cirrus VGA BIOS ROM image. Here you have cut/paste commands for this scenario:
ln -s deploy/emulation-qemu-x86.rom ~/bios.bin wget http://panzer.utcluj.ro/~alien/coreboot/AVATT/BIOS/vgabios-cirrus.bin -O ~/vgabios-cirrus.bin
Then you must run qemu in 64bit mode so that we can get support for the SVM instructions, just like you run a prebuilt ROM image:
qemu-system-x86_64 -L ~ -hda /dev/null -m 768 -serial stdio
- The -m 768 parameter is mandatory, since otherwise the kernel will panic because I hardcoded the RAM size to 768M in coreboot. It was 128M before, and that proved to be too small. Sorry for those who have few MBs of RAM.
- The -serial parameter is good for those who have keyboard issues with the default SDL output of qemu, like arrow keys not working, etc. This way you can also use the terminal you used to launch qemu as a second console and here all the keys should work fine.
Current status
The contents of the ROM image
- Linux kernel version 126.96.36.199 with tiny patches and a custom config
- uClibc daily SVN snapshots with aio support added and a custom config - only the .so files are included in the ROM image
- zlib 1.2.3 - only the .so file is included
- ncurses 5.6 - the .so file and some other small necessary files are included
- kvm-74 with some small patches - the extra BIOSes, the nbd tool and the docs are missing
- busybox 1.1.3 with a custom config - NEEDS VERSION BUMP TO SOMETHING NEWER
What works
- everything compiles fine on x86 but not yet on x86-64
- qemu-img works ok, and so does busybox
- It was tested and should compile on the following Linux distributions:
- Ubuntu 8.04 & 8.10 alpha
- Debian Lenny
- Gentoo
What doesn't work
- kvm crashes due to the poor Thread Local Store(TLS) implementation of uClibc
- The build failed on these distributions:
- Gentoo hardened - it failed with this error:
Internal error convert_magic 00006000 != a5a5a5a5
The convert_magic error indicates that the assembler/linker didn't initialize struct image_params at the right place.
- Debian Etch fails to strip the kvm binary:
BFD: /home/alien/kvm-coreboot/work/kvm/kvm-74/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/stExbwpM: The first section in the PT_DYNAMIC segment is not the .dynamic section strip: /home/alien/kvm-coreboot/work/kvm/kvm-74/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/stExbwpM: Bad value BFD: /home/alien/kvm-coreboot/work/kvm/kvm-74/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/stExbwpM: The first section in the PT_DYNAMIC segment is not the .dynamic section strip: /home/alien/kvm-coreboot/work/kvm/kvm-74/qemu/x86_64-softmmu/stExbwpM: Bad value
- make the kvm userspace tool not to crash anymore. A possible solution would be to fix the TLS issues from the version of uClibc we currently use (daily snapshots from their SVN tree). This could even mean porting the uClibc-nptl branch to x86 if both of the x86 linuxthreads branches prove to be too hard to fix.
- user-friendly tool that can create and run virtual machines.
- automatically starting the virtual machines at boot.
- get the network to work in qemu since it fails with both coreboot v2 and v3.
- integrate the virt-manager daemon inside the ROM image, if it and its dependencies fit the remaining free space. This needs network support to be really useful.
- fix compilation on x86_64 boxes by compiling everything in 64bit mode. We need a 64bit hardware anyway since the SVM instructions are available only on recent 64 bit boxes so this shouldn't matter too much, except for some extra wasted ROM space caused by the 64bit code.
- keep the versions as up-to-date as possible but also compatible with each other

Illinois Offers Grants To Boost School Security
Public schools, colleges and universities in Illinois have a few more days to apply for state grants to help pay for security improvements.
Under the program, schools can get financial help for things such as installing reinforced doors, locks and shatter-proof glass.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency is reminding schools that the deadline to apply is March 14.
A total of $25 million will be awarded.
Agency Director Jonathon Monken says security equipment is only one part of making a school safe.
He says schools must also plan for emergencies, train their staff and carry out exercises.

Colorado regulators grappling with a historic energy boom that's pushing oil rigs to the very doorsteps of suburban schools and homes were among the first in the nation to require companies to disclose the chemicals they use in their new drilling techniques.
Now, the regulators have issued what they tout as the country's toughest energy drilling regulations, requiring rigs to be at least 500 feet away from occupied buildings and take other steps to limit pollution.
But few are pleased, underscoring the difficulties that governments across the country are facing as they try to regulate an industry that is moving ever closer to people's neighborhoods but also contributing jobs and millions of dollars to local economies.
"Colorado has been on the leading edge of" regulating the energy boom, said Bruce Baizel, who tracks regulations nationwide for the environmental group Earthworks. "It's trying to muddle through and not satisfying anybody."
Environmentalists complain the new regulations have too many loopholes, while the energy industry frets they will create more hoops to jump through before it can hire people to extract the oil or gas from the ground.
"There is so much energy in the ground that we can access, that it's coming into more people's backyards than ever before," said Julia Bell, a spokesperson for the Independent Petroleum Association of America. "The tension is popping up everywhere."
Colorado is one of many that has dealt with the explosion in energy extraction that analysts say may enable the United States to overtake Saudi Arabia as the world's top energy producer in a decade.
The same boom has brought drilling rigs, and the fears of air and water pollution that accompany them, into densely-populated urban areas.
Innovations like hydraulic fracturing, known as "fracking," have made it easier to extract oil and especially natural gas from energy-rich geological formations such as the Niobrara shale, which stretches from Wyoming to beneath the densely-populated Front Range of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
Last year, more than 150 bills were introduced in 25 states to regulate energy drilling, said Jacquelyn Pless, an analyst at the National Conference of State Legislatures. Only 14 became law, many to define whether state or local governments could regulate the procedure.
In the Denver suburb of Longmont, residents passed a ballot initiative in November banning hydraulic fracking.
An industry group has filed a lawsuit to overturn the ban, arguing only the state can regulate energy exploration. There is a similar challenge over Longmont's own drilling regulations, which are more stringent than even the state's new ones.
Other cities have already embarked on similar paths.
The university town of Fort Collins, Colo., gave preliminary approval to its own fracking ban.
Pittsburgh, the cradle of the American energy industry in the 19th century, banned new drilling projects within city limits in 2010, but the state is challenging the authority of cities to issue such bans.
California, where cities like Los Angeles are pockmarked with old oil wells, is drawing up new fracking regulations, while New York state has a moratorium on fracking as the government revises its regulations.
In Texas, the Fort Worth suburb of Southlake banned fracking during the hot summer months because it drains the town's water supply. In Dallas, the city council has been battling over whether to approve drilling in city parks.
"We understand the necessity of drilling for oil and gas," said Marc McCord, an activist who has fought against energy extraction in Dallas. "But drilling in a densely-populated urban area is about as insane as anything on the face of the earth."
In Colorado, drilling traditionally focused on the western side of the Rockies or on the Eastern Plains. But wells have inched into Front Range communities, where 90 percent of the state's population resides.
"People are saying `we thought we bought our house in suburbia, or at least exurbia, and now someone is drilling an oil well here," said Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission director Matt Lepore.
The commission had required drilling operators to disclose to the state what chemicals they are injecting into the ground during fracking.
In a nod to the reality of rigs inching closer to homes, the commission earlier this month passed new rules that apply somewhat different standards to urban and rural areas.
In both settings, they require 500 feet between occupied buildings and energy wells, 1,000 feet for schools and hospitals – though the distance requirement can be waived by property owners where drills are to be dug.
The difference between urban and rural settings comes in how easily the rules can be waived. In urban areas, adjacent landowners have to agree to the waiver, while in rural ones it can be done unilaterally. In either zone, the drilling company can also ask the government for a waiver.
The rules replace earlier limits of 150 feet in rural areas and 350 feet in urban ones. Energy operators also must meet with homeowners and others who live within 1,000 feet of their proposed projects to listen to their concerns, not use open pits to store drilling waste and ensure their venting system is closed to prevent sending methane into the air.
"That package easily makes it the most protective of any state I'm aware of," Lepore said. "We've got 50,000 wells and 100-plus year history of production."
Environmentalists note that a couple of other states—Maryland, which has little energy extraction, and energy-rich West Virginia – require a greater distance between residences and rigs.
"Three years ago, this would have been really bold," said Earthworks' Baizel. "But the drilling's gotten so intense; I'm not sure it's that bold."
The energy industry sees the regulations as too inflexible.
"This rule goes too far by ultimately impacting the farmer, the rancher, mineral rights owner, business owner and home developers," Tisha Schuller, president of the Colorado Oil and Gas Association, an industry group, said in a prepared statement. Critics note it hampers the building of new housing near energy fields. The energy industry had sought smaller setbacks that it said would be less cumbersome.
"This is a huge benefit to our country," the IPAA's Bell said, "and not something we should be scared of."

It's Friday. At noon at Daytona International Speedway, there is a press conference scheduled that will outline the future of the merged Grand-Am and American Le Mans Series. I've written before that as mergers go, this one is like the merger of Chrysler and Fiat, in the sense that Italian is the de facto official language of Auburn Hills, Mich.
The press conference today is basically the other shoe dropping in NASCAR's takeover of sports car racing in the U.S. NASCAR and Grand-Am wrote a check for most of the assets of the ALMS, and the remaining ALMS employees get their paychecks from NASCAR, so you figure out who is in charge.
None of this is to suggest that this is a bad thing. In the long run, it isn't. Right now, though, it's sort of a difficult period for some people.
One of those people is Mark Raffauf, Grand-Am's gruff managing director of competition. In the "buck stops here" corporate world, Raffauf had a bad year. It started with a near-disastrous scoring snafu at the Rolex 24, and ended with a post-race decision at the final race of the year, at Lime Rock, that affected the season championship in the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge series, which runs under the auspices of Grand-Am.
In the first instance, a middle-of-the-night scoring incident may or may not have changed the outcome of the GT class race. The winner was the Magnus Racing Porsche, but there are competitors in the class who are convinced that car was not in the lead at the end of the race. Complaints were heard, but in the end -- and in the grand NASCAR tradition of whoever the fans leaving the race think won, won -- nothing happened. One team owner told me he was so upset with the officiating that, given a choice, he would never race with Grand-Am again. As of 2014, that choice is gone, assuming he still wants to compete in the U.S. at the highest level.
In the last incident, a relatively complex bit of paperwork that was viewed one way by Grand-Am, another way by the RumBum Porsche team and its driver and general manager, Matt Plumb, cost Plumb the season championship, a call made after the Lime Rock race was completed.
Throughout the season, Raffauf and his team made additional controversial calls, some of them regarding on-track incidents, others regarding points. The Starworks Daytona Prototype team, led by principal Peter Baron, complained long and hard about officiating. Baron complains about everything, making him one of the more entertaining guys in the paddock, but this time, it seemed like more than just carping.
As the merger began to take shape, there was a genuine concern on the part of some of the ALMS participants: As Grand-Am assumes the leadership role in this deal, are we going to land in the middle of this officiating controversy?
Thursday, Grand-Am in general, and series founder Jim France in particular -- his name might not be on the press release, but nothing happens in Grand-Am without France's approval -- sent out a release with this title: "Grand-Am Names ALMS Veteran Official Paul Walter New Race Director." He will also remain race director for ALMS until the end of 2013, when the two jobs become one.
At the end of the release, there was this: "Grand-Am Managing Director of Racing Operations Mark Raffauf, who formerly also served as Grand-Am's race director, will now focus on operational and logistical aspects."
In short, Raffauf is out, and the ALMS guy is in. Walter, who has worked in multiple series, seems unanimously respected. His promotion will go a long way towards quieting complaints in the Grand-Am garage, and addressing concerns among the ALMS migrants.
Raffauf had been Grand-Am's race director since its beginning in 2000. As managing director of competition, his responsibilities included rules enforcement, event proceedings, technical regulations, driver conduct and briefings and directing the Grand-Am event operations staff. He has spent pretty much his whole adult life in sports car racing, and has been close to the France family all along. This had to be a tough decision, but when the buck stops on your desk, sometimes a new guy gets moved into your chair.
Kevin Buckler, whose The Racer's Group has fielded more cars in the Rolex 24 the past decade or so than anyone else, was one of Raffauf's chief critics. "I think this is a fantastic announcement and a smart move by the series," he told Autoweek. "Having a racing director working together with both series, sharing common oversight in our transition year makes a lot of sense. Paul has a tremendous amount of respect from all of the competitors and we look forward to supporting him."
That was the sentiment of the team owners I spoke to.
But let's not forget that Raffauf was the hands-on guy who helped turn Grand-Am into the series that eventually won the war, a job that included the unenviable task of competition-balancing a rag-tag, mismatched bunch of cars and engines and listening to the complaints of racers and team owners, a group that, except perhaps for motorsports journalists, may whine more than any single group of humans in the world.
Thanks, Mark, and good luck.

Our team of specialists and staff believe that informed patients are better equipped to make decisions regarding their health and well being. For your personal use, we have created an extensive patient library covering an array of educational topics. Browse through these diagnoses and treatments to learn more about topics of interest to you. Or, for a more comprehensive search of our entire Web site, enter your term(s) in the search bar provided.
Also visit www.foothealthfacts.org to learn more about what conditions are treated by podiatric foot & ankle surgeons.
Many patients ask:
What is the difference between a podiatric surgeon and an orthopedic surgeon?
The short answer is that both podiatrists and orthopedists perform surgery on the foot and ankle. This is similar to neurosurgeons and orthopedists both performing back surgery or dermatologists and plastic surgeons both performing cosmetic surgery.
Yet there are some distinctions in choosing a podiatric surgeon for your foot and ankle care:
- While being the same 4 year length as osteopathic (DO) and allopathic (MD) medical school and covering the same basic and clinical sciences, the podiatric medical school curriculum provides additional intense focus on conditions of the foot, ankle and lower leg.
- Today's Podiatric surgeons complete 3 years of intense residency training in complex foot and ankle surgery. General orthopedists who desire to pursue additional training in foot and ankle surgery typically complete a 1 year fellowship.
- As Fellows of the American College of Foot & Ankle Surgeons, podiatric surgeons remain among a group of the only physicians who are Board Certified in Foot Surgery and/or Reconstructive Rearfoot Surgery by the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery
- Bottom line is: make sure your surgeon is experienced in the surgery you are planning to have
Osteochondritis are lesions that usually cause pain and stiffness of the ankle joint and affect all age groups. Osteochondritis is caused by a twisting-type injury to the ankle. Symptoms include swelling and ankle pain.
Immobilization of the foot and ankle for a period of time usually resolves the problem. In more severe cases, however, surgery may be prescribed. During the surgery, loose fragments of cartilage and bone are removed from the ankle joint and, in some cases, small drill holes are made in the defect to stimulate new blood vessels and to help form scar tissue that will fill the defect.

text: Tennis demands a lot. There are thousands of possible scenarios on a tennis court which have you scrambling for a reply. Your opponent is looking to expose your weakness, and quick feet can only take you so far. We work off the court to become bigger, faster, and stronger all of which help immensely. Proper form is rehearsed from multiple sources. Mental strategies and strength determine longevity of participation or lack thereof. But above all, balance has proven to me time and time again its vital role in tennis. Balance involves all of the things mentioned above, but also is its own element most key to success. Fast feet, a strong body, and proper form, and mental stability all help in achieving balance; But balance is something intimate. It is a core sensation of wholeness. More than anything else, greater balance improves any tennis player. This is due to tennis' demands for clean contact from a level bed of strings. Without balance, finding the center of the strings at the right moment of contact is as hard as pin the tail on the donkey. This core balance is what enables a tennis player to be in the zone. I would almost go as far as saying that being in the zone is this whole body balance. So how do we find this balance? There are drills like the 'don't spill the water' and 'keep the head still' which get us going in the right direction. To feel this balance to the core, there's a mental piece that needs to be present. Your breathing contributes as you exhale while you connect with the ball. The racquet is an extension of your body at this point. It takes some time to perfect balance but will pay off time and time again. Some people have a natural gift of better balance better known as talent. Anybody can find this perfect state with the right attitude and dedication.

Series 499: Alien Enemies Documents (War of 1812), 1812-1815, contains documents relating to the monitoring of British subjects in the Mississippi Territory during the period when the U.S. was engaged in the War of 1812. A circular dated July 11, 1812, and signed by U.S. Secretary of State James Monroe declared that "all subjects of His Britannic Majesty, residing within the United States, have become alien enemies…" (See document # 5 above). As such, British subjects were compelled by law to report to their respective territorial secretaries, who in turn reported to the U.S. Department of State. The following information was required in the reporting process: age, length of time in the U.S., family description, place of residence, occupation, and whether or not application for naturalization had been made.
The documents include copies of the pertinent acts and instructions transmitted to and throughout the territories, individual reports of British subjects (many of which include place of birth – Great Britain, Ireland, and Scotland), and returns of county officials reporting in summary to the territorial secretary. Also included are a number of related documents such as accompanying cover letters and communications with the U.S. Secretary of State.

Key consumer questions about the health reforms
How do I know whether "Obamacare" applies to me?
Polls show many Americans remain mystified by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare" as it is commonly known. But there's an obvious starting point: Do you have health care coverage?
If your employer provides health insurance for you, it's likely you don't have to do anything on Oct. 1, when enrollment begins. The president has said you will be able to keep your doctor and your plan.
For others — those without insurance — it's more complicated. The law requires virtually all U.S. citizens and legal residents to have coverage or pay a penalty. That will happen either through an expanded government Medicaid program, which would cover costs for lower-income people, or by requiring people without coverage to buy it. Financial help will be available for those who qualify, based on income.
To enroll through Medicaid, an individual would have to have an income that tops out $15,400, or about $31,000 for a family of four.
There are just a few exceptions to the requirement for coverage, including for prison inmates, people who entered the country illegally, those facing financial hardship and religious objectors.
When do I have to decide whether to buy health insurance and what happens if I don't?
Beginning in 2014, virtually all Americans will be required to have health insurance or pay an annual penalty to the government. For an individual, the fine begins at a minimum of $95 in 2014, stepping up annually to a minimum of $695 by 2016. The fine for uninsured children in 2014 is $47.50 for each child, although the maximum a family would have to pay in penalties next year is $285. Those fees climb each year.
Federal researchers predict that about 6 million people could be hit with fines by 2016.
Those who owe penalties would see their tax refunds docked. Not everyone who fails to buy insurance will be forced to pay up — those exempted from the requirement to have insurance, such as prison inmates, would not be penalized, for example. That also would be the case with people who earn so little that they are not required to file a tax return.
People owing the government a fine under the law could try to massage their tax returns to avoid receiving a refund, and thus the government would have nothing to claim. It's also possible people could try to exploit the religious exemption, for example, to avoid buying insurance and getting hit with a penalty.
According to the government, the IRS plans to hold back the amount of the penalty fee from future tax refunds, but there are no liens or criminal penalties for failing to pay.
What are health insurance exchanges and how do they work?
Exchanges are the online markets on which individuals and small businesses will buy private health insurance. Think of them as one-stop-shopping destinations similar to Amazon.com that are supposed to give consumers a quick way to compare insurance policies. But they might not be available to some consumers until later. That could leave many who lack job-based coverage to enroll by mail or through call centers. Still, consumers are expected to be able to see all their options in the exchanges and choose their health plans based on price, benefits and other features. Many participants will qualify for federal subsidies in the form of tax credits to help ease the cost. The amount is based on income and is available to individuals making up to $45,960, or $94,200 for a family of four. Shoppers will have different buying experiences depending on who is running their exchanges — the state, federal government or a combination of the two. Enrollment begins Oct. 1, with health care coverage starting Jan. 1.
How will actual health care coverage and services be different under Obamacare?
Coverage in the exchanges will be more comprehensive than what is typically available to individuals in the current health insurance market, which is dominated by bare-bones plans. It will resemble what a successful small business offers its employees. All plans in the exchange, and most outside it, will have to cover a standard set of benefits, including hospitalization, doctor visits, prescriptions, emergency room treatment, and maternal and newborn care. Under the law, insurers can't turn away people or charge them more because of health problems or chronic illnesses. Insurers also are banned from setting different rates based on gender. Middle-aged and older adults can't be charged more than three times what young people pay, but insurers can impose penalties on smokers. Most health insurance plans have to cover certain preventive services. Those include routine vaccinations, vision and hearing tests for children, and screenings for diabetes, high cholesterol, colon cancer and high blood pressure.
I currently have insurance through my employer. Will anything change?
For many people who have health insurance through their employer, the Kaiser Family Foundation says not a lot is expected to happen right away. Some workers may receive a financial break from the new cap on out-of-pocket expenses and free preventive care. But some larger companies, those with 50 or more employees, already are looking for ways to cut costs and avoid getting hit with a new tax set to take effect in 2018 on so-called "Cadillac" insurance plans. Those are defined as plans valued at $10,200 or more for individual coverage and $27,500 for family policies. United Parcel Service, for example, informed its white collar employees that it will no longer cover spouses if they can get coverage through their own employers. Delta Air Lines, meanwhile, recently predicted its workers may have to help shoulder the cost of various new mandates under the Affordable Care Act, such as coverage for employees' children until they are 26 years old and coverage for workers who had previously opted out but will now be required to have health insurance.
The government has delayed the large-business mandate for a year, but what will the law mean for owners of smaller businesses?
Under the Affordable Care Act, a small business is defined as having anywhere from two to 50 employees. Those firms are not required to provide their workers with health insurance. But businesses with employment levels close to the 50-employee threshold have until 2015 to calculate whether it's worth reducing their workforce or cutting workers' hours to avoid a series of escalating penalties that kick in if just one of their employees ends up receiving government-subsidized health care. Meanwhile, many smaller businesses appear to be taking a wait-and-see approach before determining whether to buy coverage through health insurance marketplaces geared toward their needs. In some states, they won't be able to compare rates with their current insurance plans until open enrollment begins in October. The business-to-business outreach manager at Connecticut's health insurance exchange, for example, predicts the plans will ultimately be attractive to smaller businesses that did not always offer insurance coverage.
Will I be forced to change doctors or health plans even I don't want to, and will my choices for both be limited?
Probably not. You can maintain your current providers if you have job-based insurance and can choose any available primary care provider in your insurance plan's network. However, the influx of patients who will be newly insured under the Affordable Care Act could overwhelm the health care system in some areas. That could mean you will see a physician assistant or nurse practitioner, rather than an actual physician.
In general, the Obama administration says the law offers new rights and protections whether you have coverage or need it, but there are some exceptions. The new rights do not apply to health plans created or bought before March 23, 2010.
If I currently buy my own insurance, can I keep it or do I have to change?
If you have individual insurance — a plan you bought yourself rather than what you get through an employer — you should be able to change to a new plan if you choose.
It also will be illegal for insurance companies to cancel your coverage if you make simple mistakes on forms, but you still can be cancelled for intentionally making false claims. If you have COBRA continuation health coverage, you can maintain it or decide to buy a new insurance plan. If you select a plan by Dec. 15, you can have coverage starting Jan. 1.
I keep hearing about bronze, silver, gold and platinum. What does that mean?
Bronze, silver, gold and platinum refer to the types of insurance policies available to businesses and individuals under the exchanges created by the health care law. The categories reflect how much premiums will cost each month and the amount you will pay for such things as hospital visits and prescription medications. The percentage covered by the plan increases from bonze to platinum. The lowest-cost plan is bronze, in which the insurance company covers 60 percent of the expenses and the individual will pay 40 percent. The highest-cost tier is platinum, in which the insurer covers 90 percent of the expenses and the individual pays 10 percent.
Is "Obamacare" available for immigrants?
It depends on whether they are in the country legally. Legal immigrants will be required to buy health insurance or pay a tax penalty if they don't. They can buy insurance through the health care exchanges and are eligible for the subsidies. Most legal immigrants cannot enroll in Medicaid if they have been in the U.S. for less than five years, although states have the option to waive the waiting period for pregnant women and children. Some legal immigrants will not be eligible for Medicaid, regardless of the amount of time they have been in the country.
Immigrants who are in the country illegally will not be eligible to buy insurance through the exchanges. They also are ineligible for Medicaid, although they remain eligible for emergency care under the law. Young immigrants who had been granted "deferred action" status by the Obama administration to avoid deportation by obtaining temporary work permits also will not be eligible for the exchanges or Medicaid.

Camp Genesis Is A Special Experience For Children Coping With Cancer In Their Families
A cancer journey doesn't just impact the patient. Children, grandchildren, spouses and other loved ones can also be involved.
Cancer can disrupt families and disrupt their financial situations, making vacations more difficult.
For the fifth consecutive year, Genesis Health System, Gilda's Club of the Quad Cities and the Scott County Family YMCA will provide an opportunity for children coping with cancer in their families to enjoy time together at Scott County Family Y Camp Abe Lincoln in Blue Grass.
This year's Camp Genesis experience is July 7-12. Anyone who knows a child affected by cancer in their family is encouraged to call Gilda's Club Quad Cities at (563) 326-7504 for more information and applications
Camp Genesis provides youth with an outstanding, local camp experience. Special cancer education programs are provided during camp week by Gilda's Club and Genesis to help kids cope with the effects of cancer in their family. The usual camp fee will be donated by Genesis. There will be no charge to campers.
"This camp will provide a much-needed opportunity for kids to just be kids,'' said Sally Werner, Director, Genesis Cancer Care Institute. "This camp will be a relief to parents who may be facing illness and financial concerns because of the illness.
"Camp Genesis will offer a unique camp experience, close-to-home, that is specifically designed for children who are dealing with cancer in their families.''
Camp Genesis campers will experience everything from swimming, to canoeing, to horseback riding to an Alpine adventure tower. Complementing the fun will be cancer support and education each day from the Gilda's Club staff. The Gilda's Club staff will help campers cope with the new stresses on their families caused by cancer.
Camp Genesis campers bond from their shared experience with cancer in their families and are more likely to share their worries and fears with each other.
YMCA Camp Abe Lincoln hosts Camp Genesis. Camp Abe Lincoln is a 250-acre camp located just 12 miles from downtown Davenport.
"Camp Genesis has become part of our philosophy to treat the 'whole' cancer patient and families at the Genesis Cancer Care Institute,'' Werner added. "If we can relieve some of the stress and concern a cancer patient may have about children or grandchildren, we are creating a better healing environment for that patient.''
Gilda's Club Quad Cities provides free support, education and hope to all people affected by cancer. Gilda's Club has an office at the Genesis Cancer Care Institute and offers its special support services throughout the Quad Cities from the Gilda's "clubhouse" at 1234 E. River Drive in Davenport.

Can asthma cause breast cancer to spread?
Researchers at Mayo Clinic are exploring an association between the spread of breast cancer and asthma.
Study results are suggesting a woman with both breast cancer and asthma could be at an increased risk of the cancer spreading to her lungs.
"Women with asthma were getting mets to their lungs almost two times greater in frequency than women who did not have asthma," said James Lee, Ph. D., at the Mayo Clinic.
As to why this is happening, the theory is when you have an allergic asthmatic reaction in your lungs, the blood vessels in your lungs open gateways to allow while blood cells in. If there are any cancer cells circulating in your blood stream, they too can enter the lungs through those gateways. One in the lungs, the cancer cells can begin to grow.
Dr. Lee hopes to determine whether taking anti-inflammatory asthma medication will reduce your chances of developing metastases to the lungs.

It's official! You're old. Hannah Montana — aka Miley Cyrus — is set to wed her boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Hopefully sidestepping the tweenage fangirl vitriol that would have come her way if they'd waited much longer and Hemsworth's Hunger Games fame had really taken hold, the pair made things legit on May 31 when he presented his 19-year-old bride with a 3.5-carat diamond ring from Neil Lane. The couple have been dating for three years. "I'm so happy to be engaged and look forward to a life of happiness with Liam," Cyrus told People. Meeting on the set of The Last Song, Hemsworth said he's been in it to win it from the beginning. "What happened happened, and we've been together since," he said. "She makes me really happy. When you start, you want to be professional, but when you're filming those scenes with someone and pretending to love them, you're not human if you don't feel something." [People, Daily Mail]
You probably spent last night dreaming about adorable piglets chowing down on bowls of delicious oatmeal – and rightfully so – but you woke up in the real world so now it's time to counter that innocent delight with the promotional still from Nadya Suleman first solo porn video. With snippets being steadily released in coming weeks, Suleman says she's "very excited for it to come out" after being coached on how to best masturbate for the cameras by adult star Jessica Drake. "Octomom Nadya Suleman aka OctoMILF explores her sexuality in explicit solo vignettes designed and directed by Brad Armstrong," reads a statement on the Facebook page of Wicked Pictures. Phew, thank god Armstrong is on the case because otherwise this could be considered the exploitation of a woman who once vowed to never do porn before being forced into it in order to feed her 14 children.

Them's fighting words! They used to be pretty solid but now Jenny McCarthy is accusing her ex Jim Carrey of turning his back on her autistic son, Evan. "I've tried to ask [Jim] numerous times [to see Evan], because my son still asks," she said, adding that she hasn't, you know, asked him directly. "I think that sometimes people need to take a real break from each other. But I still love him. I think you can love people from a distance and respect him. But as a mother, you just hope when you have a relationship with someone, it has nothing to do with the child when you break up." [Us]

Sorry y'all, Morrissey is quitting music in two years on account of his increasingly flabby belly – his paraphrased words, not mine.

Huskers Get #2 Seed in Morgantown Regional
Posted By: Sports
The eighth-ranked Nebraska women's gymnastics team has earned the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Morgantown Regional, the NCAA announced on Monday. The regional, which will be hosted by West Virginia University, will take place on Saturday, April 6 at 5 p.m. CT (6 p.m. ET).
The Morgantown Regional will feature some familiar faces for the 2013 Big Ten Champion Huskers, with a pair of conference teams joining NU in competition. No. 5 Michigan earned the competition's top seed, while No. 17 Illinois took the No. 3 seed overall. No. 19 Kentucky, West Virginia and North Carolina will round out the regional field.
"We're excited to be going to regionals and to be competing in Morgantown," Head Coach Dan Kendig said. "It'll be fun and the girls are excited to be heading to a new gym to compete. We're looking forward to getting out there and competing and doing what we need to do to qualify for the NCAA Championships."
Nebraska will work a familiar rotation at the Morgantown Regional, drawing the same order as they competed in at the Big Ten Championships last weekend. NU will open on a bye before competing on bars and beam. The Huskers will take a second bye before closing competition on floor and vault.
The top two teams at the regional and the top two all-around performers not on an advancing team will claim an automatic berth to the 2013 NCAA Championships in Los Angeles, Calif., on April 19-21. Individual event winners not on a qualifying team or qualifying as an all-around competitor will also advance to the national championships.
The Huskers will carry momentum into competition after winning the program's 23rd conference title last weekend in East Lansing, Mich. Nebraska posted a 197.800 to top seven Big Ten teams to claim their third consecutive conference championship. The squad took home a total of nine titles on four events and in the all-around, led by Emily Wong's second-straight Big Ten all-around title.
Advance tickets for the Morgantown Regional are $12 each and can be purchased online at WVUGame.com or by calling the Mountaineer Ticket Office at 1-800-WVU-GAME. Groups of 10 or more can receive a special group rate of $9 per person at WVUGGame.com or by calling 1-800-WVU-GAME. Group tickets must be purchased in advance. Tickets can also be purchased at the door on meet day for $15 each.

It's spring time once again! This is the time when you can open your windows and breathe in some fresh air. This is also the perfect time to make your home clean and free some spaces in it.
Before doing all the dirty work, declutter your home first. It's time to get rid of anything which your family doesn't use anymore for more than 6-12 month. Open the way for a fresh start by clearing out the outdated clothing hanging on your closet or the old decorative accessories gathering dust in your storeroom. There are many ways you can dispose these items, either you host a garage sale or donate pieces which are still in good shape.
Gather all your cleaning supplies before you begin your cleaning project. Some of the basic cleaning supplies you might need include dusting spray, microfiber cloths, all-purpose cleaner, trash bags, paper towels, sponges, and gloves. You might still need other items which you can determine by looking at the areas you're going to clean.
Don't forget to order a dumpster to remove large sized junk pieces or high volumes of the things you don't need any more. Our experts can help – only give them a call.
Break down your cleaning project into smaller parts; otherwise it could be very overwhelming. Determine which of the rooms in your home you want to clean first, and make a plan on how you're going to get the job done. If you're whole family is going to be involved in the project, consider distributing the work by assigning a room for each family member.
Try to find ways on how you can involve the whole family in your spring cleaning project. Look for a day when everybody is free. Designate cleaning areas for each member, and make it fun by listening to some music, and by eating a special lunch, dinner, or snacks. You can even turn this spring cleaning project into an annual family tradition.
Here are some simple spring cleaning tips to keep in mind for a more beautiful and clean home:
We hope that cleaning your house will be a real fun for you and your family and if you face a problem of serious junk volumes you can always call us for a dumpster.

|Bishop Michael Olson lays hands on Jonathan Duncan, ordaining him to the priesthood.
During a spirit-charged ceremony that expressed Christian unity, former Anglican rector Jonathan Duncan was ordained a Catholic priest for the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter by Fort Worth Bishop Michael Olson.
The March 29 Ordination Mass was held at St. Mary the Virgin Church in Arlington — the first Episcopalian parish in the United States to enter corporately into full communion with the Catholic Church.
"So many of us began our journey to the Catholic faith in this place," said Monsignor Jeffrey N. Steenson, Ordinary of the Personal Ordinariate who concelebrated the liturgy with Bishop Olson and several priests. "May the Lord bless us in the work the Holy Father has given us to do. (We're asked) to be an instrument of Christian unity in a world that always seems to be pulling apart at the seams."
Addressing the congregation inside the historic church, the leader of the Ordinariate thanked Bishop Olson and the Diocese of Fort Worth for their support in welcoming former Anglicans — like Father Duncan — into the Catholic Church. More than 50 former Anglican priests now serve the Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter.
"May it be one of the things that draw people closer to our Lord Jesus Christ," Msgr. Steenson added.
Established in 2012, the Houston-based Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter oversees lay groups and clergy in the United States and Canada. It is the second of three "diocese-like" structures created worldwide under Pope Benedict's 2009 Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum coetibus which allows Anglicans to become Catholic while maintaining approved parts of their liturgical, spiritual, and pastoral practices. Some of the distinct elements of liturgy considered "gifts to be shared" include the use of Tudor English, components of the older Roman Rite, and prayers stemming from the English Reformation.
Ordained a priest for the Episcopal Diocese of Fort Worth in 2008, Fr. Duncan served as assistant pastor at St. Alban Episcopal Church in Arlington and rector at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church in Cleburne before announcing his decision to join the Catholic Church in September 2013. He was received into the Catholic faith on All Saints Day and was ordained a deacon on Feb. 14 in San Antonio by Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller.
Bishop Olson, who heard Father Duncan's promise of obedience and anointed his palms with sacred chrism during the Ordination Rite, said it was a privilege to welcome him to the Catholic priesthood.
|Monsignor Jeffrey N. Steenson, ordinary for the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter for former Anglicans in the U.S. and Canada, prays over newly-ordained Fr. Duncan, the ordinariate's newest priest.
"It's very important that the Ordinariate continues to work for unity as it collaborates closely with the local Church of Fort Worth to spread the Gospel and build the kingdom of God," the bishop told the North Texas Catholic.
In his homily, Bishop Olson said the call to the presbyteral order is anchored in three things: listening, gratitude, and ministry.
"Never neglect the gift we've been given as priests to (represent) the image of Christ, the head and shepherd of the Church, as we govern, teach, and sanctify always, always in service," he advised.
Priestly ministry must be so Christ-like that the needs of others are put first.
"We are ordained to a ministry of inconvenience and interruptions," the bishop added. "The Lord speaks to us and we have to listen. Listen to, recognize, and hear his voice that we might follow what He says to us, so compassionately, again and again."
After the laying on of hands by Bishop Olson, Msgr. Steenson, and local priests from the Ordinariate, Fr. Duncan's wife, Elizabeth, and his five-year-old son, Bennett, carried a gold-colored chasuble up to the altar. The couple also have a two-year-old son, Alexander, and three-month-old daughter, Lucy.
Father Timothy Perkins, parochial administrator of St. Mary the Virgin, served as the vesting priest who outfitted Fr. Duncan with the symbols of his ministry. Bishop Olson presented the newly ordained priest with a paten and chalice.
Many of the people the 31-year-old priest shepherded at his former Anglican parishes attended the ordination. Some now worship at the Ordinariate community of St. John Vianney in Cleburne where he is parochial administrator.
"We're here today because Fr. Duncan is our parish priest," explained Bob Theimer, who converted to Catholicism with his wife, Nancy, several years ago. "Those of us who made the transition think the Ordinariate is wonderful. We started out in the Episcopal Church 15 years ago and kept growing closer and closer to the Catholic Church. So for us, it's coming home."
Theimer called his pastor a phenomenal person who knows his Church history.
"He knows his history, the Bible, and is very rooted in Catholic doctrine," he said.
|Fr. Duncan exercises his priestly ministry for the first time by concelebrating his Ordination Mass.
Fr. Duncan is the fourth former Holy Comforter rector to join the Ordinariate. The list includes Father Stephen Jones, the Ordinariate's Vicar of Clergy Father Charles Hough, III, and retired rector Father Richard McHenry who was received into the Catholic Church during Fr. Duncan's first post-ordination Mass celebrated March 30 at St. Mary the Virgin.
A musicologist known for his appealing singing voice, Fr. Duncan selected hymns and choral music for his ordination Mass that reflected the beauty of both the Anglican and Catholic traditions. A combined choir from St. Mary the Virgin and St. Mary of the Assumption Parish in Fort Worth sang compositions written for the Church of England during the offertory and communion. Prelude music featured "Ave Maria" by Franz Biebl and, during the Mass, the "Our Father" was sung in Latin.
Fr. Duncan said he hopes his ministry serves as a conduit that will bring people together.
"I know God used my time as an Anglican for good," he explained. "It was the Anglican patrimony and truths of the Catholic faith that first drew me to the Episcopal Church, and it is now those same blessings from God that are calling me into union with the See of Peter through the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter."
After years of prayerful discernment, Jonathan Duncan, 31, former rector of Holy Comfort Episcopal Church in Cleburne, was received into the Catholic Church on All Saints Day 2013. It's a decision that's brought him peace and a renewed sense of mission. Within five months, he would be ordained a Catholic priest on March 29.

The controller on mine has a bug or two. Sometimes the CAPS LOCK light stays on even after CAPS LOCK is deactivated; toggling CAPS LOCK again clears the light. Sometimes the controller thinks the Shift key is stuck down when it's not; tapping the Shift key again clears it. I get one of these glitches every few minutes on an Advantage USB built in 2011.Everything else is already great... please don't change too much
Really interested in the next version of Contoured keyboard - do you have a rough idea when you might introduce it?
Please share any thoughts and ideas of what you would like to see for the next version of Contoured keyboard.
Quote from: natas206 on Thu, 04 October 2012, 15:23:05Please share any thoughts and ideas of what you would like to see for the next version of Contoured keyboard.I want a keyboard more or less like the Kinesis Advantage except flat with Cherry Red switches and works on PS/2.You could add some extra keys to the middle too if u wanted.You could add some extra keys to the thumb area too if u wanted.It does not hurt to have some spare extra keys on the keyboard that the user can define as desired.If you would have allowed me to buy a flat Kinesis Advantage with Cherry Red switches that works on PS/2 I would have already bought 3 of them a few months ago.Instead I am being forced to spend thousands of $$$ on all sorts of different keyboards.I have no problem with the pricing of your current Kinesis Advantage.And your return policy is super duper nice.But I honestly just don't think that crazy keywell shape is for me. I have severe horrifically bad handpain problems but I have never ever craved or wanted a keyboard shaped like that.I especially do not want to be tempted to lay my wrist on that high point of the keyboard. That is incredibly unhealthy and directly causes RSI, Tendonitis, CTS and other horrible problems. I like my normal flat cherry red keyboards. There is no temptation to lay my wrist on anything.Also I don't think my soft crashpads would work in the crazy shaped kinesis advantage. I need a flat keyboard for that.I need a keyboard that lets me SHIFT with my thumbs.I would not mind SHIFTing with my feet from time to time.If I bought a Kinesis I am sure I would buy the super deluxe version with everything.I could have bought a Kinesis Advantage "for the hell of it". "Just to give it a try." And to show my support of your company because it seems like u r at least trying. (which is a lot more than I can say for most keyboard companies) But I really really really do not think it will work out for me.For the time being I am being forced to buy WASD keyboards or Filcos because they let me buy a flat keyboard compatible with crashpads, compatible with PS/2 with Red switches.I am researching different substances to glue on top of my keycaps to have a healthier, softer, less violent, less painful keyboard experience. But I don't have much useful to report on that other than 10A rubber is way too hard.I do not require Red switches. I would rather have a switch more intelligently designed than Red. Its not so hard to do if you have money. But among these simplistic, primitive antiergonomic switch choices presented by Cherry, Alps and Matias, Cherry Red wins. But a better switch could be 100x better.Whatever new keyboard you come out with, if it is rigged to not work on PS/2 then I won't buy it.
Thanks for the input TotalChaos. I would say you should try a Contoured keyboard before making some of those conclusions. Lots of research has gone into our design and it's stood the test of time (20 years), so although it looks crazy it's very effective.
natas206 is, of course, the expert here, but I believe the kinesis contoured refers to the advantage (with keywells). The kinesis does use special keycaps, to more naturally fit the hand, but people have experimented with replacing them with "normal" ones from a kit (like from WASDkeyboards) with some success. http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=23446.msg477340#msg477340
Also as the pads age I assume they use their squishiness. Since the pads would now be glued into place I can no longer replace them by themselves, I would have to throw away the whole keycap. Unless you have some clever solution?
Does Kinesis Advantage use special keycaps? If so how much does it cost for me to buy replacements?
Also I just noticed you said "Contoured" in your message. Maybe we are each talking about a different keyboard?
Quote from: TotalChaos on Tue, 15 January 2013, 03:17:27Also as the pads age I assume they use their squishiness. Since the pads would now be glued into place I can no longer replace them by themselves, I would have to throw away the whole keycap. Unless you have some clever solution?You plan to glue pads on top of the keycaps?
Why not use o-rings, 40A o-rings from wasdkeyboards are superb,
but if you want something really squishy and soft you can try black soft-landing pads from elite keyboards. Like o-rings these go UNDER the keycaps (between keycap and switch).
QuoteAlso I just noticed you said "Contoured" in your message. Maybe we are each talking about a different keyboard?Contoured are all those Kinesis keyboards that have the curvy keywells (which you ought to try before ruling them out by the way).These keyboards have had various model variations over the years, with names like Essential, Classic, Advantage, etc, but all of them are "contoured".
How many keys do you honestly need to hold down at the same time, and what keys are they? The keyboard can handle 6 keys plus modifiers (ctrl/alt/shift) so I'm trying to understand what is the scenario that needs more than 8-9 keys ??
While "endless free retro games require more than 6KRO" is an gross exaggeration
(let's not forget most keyboards are not even 6KRO but 2KRO)
I agree that supporting NKRO with a passive PS/2 adapter like Filco and other keyboards do would be great.
Note that the typical NKRO test that is advertised all over the Internet (hold-down-both-shifts-and-type-the-quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-the-lazy-dog) passes fine with 6KRO... most people, including the average gamer and even some keyboard companies, consider anything over 2KRO to be NKRO.
I am skeptical about NKRO over USB because it is associated with one ore more of these issues:- Problems with OSX or Linux- Ugly hacks like the keyboard presenting itself like 3 devices to the computer- Issues with KVMs- Issues with USB v1 ports- Special drivers needed
So unless ALL of the above issues are 100% absent, I would prefer 6KRO (with NKRO via PS/2 adapter) rather than NKRO over USB
A non-gaming keyboard should not sacrifice universal compatibility for an extreme gaming feature.
I think 18-KRO over USB like Leopold and other keyboards do,
... there is NO WAY you will need to hold down more than 18 keys simultaneously, even with 2 players playing an extreme music game on the same keyboard simultaneously :-)
1. the arrow keys - can we please have a set of "real" arrow keys that can be operated by one hand? 2. optionally, an onboard modifier key to switch the keypad on momentarily so that it can be used as arrow keys
