text: WASHINGTON – The Obama administration's internal projections called for strong enrollment in the states in the first year of new health insurance markets, according to unpublished estimates obtained by The Associated Press. Whether those expectations will bear out is unclear. Technology glitches have frustrated many consumers trying to sign up for coverage online, and efforts to upgrade and repair healthcare.gov are ongoing. But the estimates, obtained through a public records request, may be the closest thing to a yardstick for measuring the performance of President Barack Obama's health care law across the states. The enrollment breakdown by states was included in a draft of an administration report on insurance premiums in the new markets, but it was omitted from a subsequent version that was released to the public last month by the Department of Health and Human Services. Leading up to the opening of insurance markets Oct. 1, the White House generally deflected questions about its own expectations of how consumers would respond. Officials instead cited a congressional estimate that 7 million people would gain coverage in the first year through the markets, which offer subsidized private insurance to people who don't have a job-based health plan. The draft, dated Sept. 20, broke down the figure of 7 million among states. It estimated the expected enrollment in California, for example, at 1. 3 million people in 2014. The estimate for Texas was 629,000 and for Florida, 477,000. The report estimated 340,000 people would enroll in Washington state, and 218,000 in New York. The final report, released Sept. 25, omitted the enrollment estimates, but it was identical in most other respects. Asked why the estimates were missing from the final report, HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters said in a statement: 'We are focused on reaching as many people as possible about their options. There are many estimates of how many people will enroll in year one.' Some states have released their own estimates, she added, and other states are changing theirs based on experience. The omission puzzled some experts in the field. 'Why there is this reluctance to share internal estimates, I don't know,' said health economist Gail Wilensky, who ran Medicare for President George H.W. Bush. 'This kind of information has a way of worming its way out into the open, which makes it look like they have something to hide.' While consumer interest in the new health insurance markets has been undeniably strong, it's hard to get a sense of how many people have been able to navigate balky federal and state websites and successfully enroll. Numbers released by states running their own marketplaces suggest upward of 100,000 people have enrolled so far, out of millions of potential interested customers. The administration refuses to release numbers for the 36 states in which it is taking the lead. Officials at first said the frozen computer screens and other issues were the result of a high volume of interest. They later acknowledged software and design issues were also to blame. HHS belatedly rolled out a feature that allows consumers to get a look at health plans in their area without first establishing an account. The requirement that people set up an account before shopping was at odds with the normal way e-commerce websites are run, and was blamed for overloading the system. Appearing earlier this week on MSNBC, former White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said the situation is 'excruciatingly embarrassing' for the administration. 'This was bungled badly,' said Gibbs, adding: 'When they get it fixed, I hope they fire some people that were in charge of making sure this thing was supposed to work.' Although Gibbs did not refer to HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, White House spokesman Jay Carney said Tuesday she has 'the full confidence of the president.' The potential political fallout from the troubled launch of the insurance markets isn't the major issue, however. There are bigger concerns for the impact on average Americans and, if signups remain anemic, on federal taxpayers. The more uninsured people who buy coverage, the sooner they'll have access to services – well-patient checkups and prescription drugs among them – to help them improve their health and avoid a crisis that could be far costlier than preventive medicine. Their children will have access to services, too. Just as important, robust enrollment by younger, healthier people is critical because older people and people with illnesses, who are more expensive to insure, are highly motivated to sign up. Insurers will be relying on revenue from policies they sell to younger people who need fewer services to help make up the difference. An insurance pool tilted toward older, sicker people also would raise costs for the government, which will be subsidizing the coverage. The AP obtained a copy of the federal enrollment estimates in a public records request with Idaho's health insurance marketplace, Your Health Idaho. Uninsured people have until Dec. 15 to sign up for coverage to take effect Jan. 1, when most Americans will be required to have health insurance.

Today's Music: Lynyrd Skynyrd – Edge of Forever
Despite it feeling like at least 10 days since last we met, it's only been a week. How do I get through such a long slogging stretch? By reading blogs! Here's some of what I saw…
For a Trifecta challenge, Marie Nicole put a great piece of magic. Red waxed wisely on getting writing help.
And sandylikeabeach is officially retired!
They, and you, made it a great week for reading blogs.
But last week was all about getting better here. And thanks to all your advice, I know now that I will just lock myself in a room with tears running down my face.
Because your answers made me laugh that hard! Here's what you said. (As always, my comments are the best that they can be in italics.)
*One note – Polldaddy was a bit wonky, so I sincerely apologize if I missed someones' answer, and the omission was not deliberate.
You do polls? John Phillips
(I like to think of them as existential thought exercises…)
self improvement is masturbation – brad pitt
(Then I don't understand why so many people get advice on it from Dr. Phil.)
change nothing because he's AWESOME! (nicolemarie)
(They broke the mold. And beat up the moldmaker.)
Provide either 'shrooms or more nudity. Either works. (UndercoverL)
(Since I'm naked, I'm guessing you don't want to know where the shrooms are hidden…)
Offer virtual cake to each voter! MBT
(You can probably find some fruitcakes in the comments…)
angry birds
(grumpy bloggers)
Quit his day job and concentrate on polls!! (polysyllabic)
(Wait – exactly what do you think I do at at work?)
I don't know but it has something to do with a new Pollguappy platform (Live Clay)
(Only if I get to use the word "Pollguappy")
Wait a minute! This isn't Hooters! Where the hell am I? – A Bad Influence
(If you still have your pants, then definitely not Hooters.)
Hold my hand while I do this scary polling thing –Marie Nicole
(I'm already holding two severed hands from a different poll. MUAHAHAHA!!!)
Serve more ravioli and wine. Red.
(I used all the wine in the recipe.)
Change the color from gray to pink, of course. ~Maddie
(I am secure enough in my manliness to not be afraid of pink. Or feel the need to prove it.)
Add an interactive Pole…! SnaapALicious
(Is Lech Walesa still available?)
remember that the only good polls are stripper poles. Revis
(Which makes these polls a bunch of overweight mailmen.)
Offer free Jelly and Peanut Butter sandwiches 🙂 Andro
Hand out chocolates and pancakes to everyone 🙂 Andro
(You think I'm made of dough? (See what I did there?))
realize that the only thing that ever improves anything is an explosion. Revis
(Jim Henson knew it well.)
Guapo, you should make dinner for all of us! The Bumble Files
(With fava beans and a nice chianti?)
Poll the poll on what it thinks. – The Waiting
Make them more literary by including the word "hath" in every choice. lindavernon
(I was hoping to make them more cartoony…)
Bare all! Okay…that was a joke. Hey! Where's the 'It's Just a Joke' button?
(I left the button in my clothes. Back there somewhere. Oops…)
The polls are already perfect. Awww-Lily In Canada
(Your check is in the mail.)
Serve them with a side of fries….zannyro
(Serving fries! At last, the full realization of my Liberal Arts education!)
do nothing. Like Guapo, they're perfect just the way they are. sandylikeabeach
(Who is this "Guapo" and how do I live up to his standard?)
Take up single Malt. You're drinking for two now ~R
(When did I cut down?)
never elect another one. quitters.~R
(Or just write in Big Bird.)
Poll readers for the best poll questions. Elyse 54.5
(I asked on Twitter, but everyone kept telling me about those pictures of me on Facebook.)
channel his inner Orson Welles. And sell no wine before its time.
(Rosebud Vineyards! Confusing to its dying drop.)
Love your work! Starving Activist
(Ah, you must be new here.) 😉
keep doing exactly what he's been doing Benzeknees
(Isn't that part of the definition of insanity?)
Record his responses in a video blog dressed as a superhero. Carrie Rubin
(Wow, a lot of responses calling for nudity this week.)
Like a Chanel handbag, YES!
(Like the price tag, NO!)
There is no way I could ever be better than I already am… sigh… PMAO
(Um…I think they said you "wouldn't" get better, not "couldn't"…)
Add pink food coloring. Rogue
(I prefer plaid.)
Rutabaga: I like a special channel & FUNICULAR!
(If you mean a funicular railway, I'm afraid this train is already waaay off the rails…)
add music videos and hot models …Ya Baby (SnB)
(Are Tiny Tim and the "Where's The Beef" lady still available?)
all of the above (Stacy)
(So lots and lots of improvement needed.)
Have a beer cooler available those responding (Frank)
(I don'tthink the beer would stay in the cooler long enough to get cold. And it certainly wouldn't last til the respondents came! 😉 )
Let someone else host them. Twindaddy
(Sadly, no one will take my calls anymore.)
Congratulations to Emily @ The Waiting for this weeks winning answer. And from the offered choices, the most popular was a tie between Give substantial, valuable prizes. and always pick me as the winner!. But would you want there to be substantial prizes if I didn't pick you?
Now that you've stretched your pondering muscles on that, consider this: For everything that is brought to dentists for their recommendations – toothpastes, teeth whiteners, Slim Whitman albums – 4 out of 5 do recommend them.
But I've always wondered, what does the fifth dentist recommend? Well, that's this weeks poll for you to sink your teeth into.
So bite hard, bite often, but bite before 2359 EST on 18 April, because that's when this one ends.
And if you leave your name in an "Other" answer, I'll link back to you next week.
And as we head off into what will hopefully feel like a longer weekend and shorter week, enjoy these.
First, I was turned on to this by a young friend, whose parents then had to explain to her what bestiality was.
And since we're already changing lyrics to songs, hears the Literal Video version of aHa. It always gets a laugh out of me, if only for "assful of pipe wrench".
Have a great weekend everyone, and I'll see you when next we meet.

Wednesday, September 17. The bloodiest single day of the war occurred at the Battle of Antietam near Sharpsburg, Maryland. General Robert E. Lee's outnumbered Confederate Army of Northern Virginia assembled along Antietam Creek to meet the attack by General George B. McClellan's Federal Army of the Potomac. The first wave of assaults took place on the Confederate left against General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson's corps in the woods, the cornfield, the Bloody Lane, and the Dunkard Church. Federal gains were small and costly. The battle then shifted to the center of the Confederate line, with uncoordinated Federal attacks again achieving little. Finally, the battle moved to the Confederate right, where Federals crossing a bridge finally broke through and headed for Sharpsburg. However, they were halted by General A.P. Hill's "Light Division" arriving from Harpers Ferry to save Lee's army. McClellan's piecemeal attacks and failure to use all his reserves also helped save the Confederate army from destruction. The battle ended when McClellan disengaged, making it a draw. Total casualties for this single day were estimated at over 26,000 killed, wounded, or missing. In Kentucky, a Federal garrison of over 4,000 men surrendered to General Braxton Bragg's Confederates. Federal General Ormsby M. Mitchel assumed command of the Department of the South, stationed along the southeastern coast.
Thursday, September 18. In the evening, Robert E. Lee began withdrawing the remnants of his army from Maryland. George McClellan did not attack, despite having up to 24,000 fresh reserves. Lee's withdrawal made the Battle of Antietam a tactical Federal victory, even though McClellan ignored pleas from President Abraham Lincoln to pursue and destroy Lee's army. On the Atlantic Ocean, the Confederate commerce raider C.S.S. Alabama destroyed the whaler Elisha Dunbar off New Bedford, Massachusetts. Braxton Bragg announced that his Confederate troops had come to Kentucky to free the people from tyranny, not as conquerors or despoilers. Federal General James H. Carleton replaced General E.R.S. Canby as commander of the Department of New Mexico.
Friday, September 19. In Mississippi, Federals under General William Rosecrans defeated General Sterling Price's Confederates at the Battle of Iuka. Rosecrans had arrived at Iuka as part of General Ulysses S. Grant's advance guard, and the Confederates sought to prevent Grant from reinforcing General Don Carlos Buell in Kentucky. Price was awaiting the arrival of General Earl Van Dorn's Confederates when the battle occurred. Rosecrans, knowing that Federal reinforcements were forthcoming, withdrew southward during the night. The Federal Department of the Missouri was reestablished, and the Department of Kansas was discontinued. In Maryland, George McClellan's halfhearted pursuit of Robert E. Lee was halted by Confederate artillery.
Saturday, September 20. In Maryland, George McClellan's Federals made one last effort at catching Robert E. Lee's Confederates, but the Federals were repulsed at various points. In Washington, President Lincoln prepared the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which he had first introduced to his cabinet in July.
Sunday, September 21. In Kentucky, Braxton Bragg's Confederates advanced to Bardstown in preparation for linking with General Edmund Kirby Smith's forces. However, this enabled Don Carlos Buell's Federals to reach Louisville. In California, San Francisco residents raised $100,000 for aid to wounded and sick Federal troops.
Monday, September 22. In Washington, President Lincoln presented the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation to his cabinet. Lincoln had been waiting for a military victory to issue the order, and Antietam provided the opportunity. The proclamation technically freed no one since it only applied to slaves in states that rebelled against the U.S.; it exempted rebellious states from freeing their slaves if those states rejoined the U.S. before January 1, and it exempted regions under Federal military occupation. Lincoln also called for congressional approval of compensated emancipation. Thus, the path was partially opened toward a constitutional amendment abolishing slavery.
Tuesday, September 23. In the Dakota Territory, Federals clashed with Indians at Fort Abercrombie. In Minnesota, Federals under H.H. Sibley defeated the Sioux Indians at the Battle of Wood Lake as part of the Dakota War. On the Ohio River, Confederate guerrillas plundered the steamer Emma at Foster's Landing. In Tennessee, Federals retaliated against an attack on a ship by burning the town of Randolph. Word of the Preliminary Emancipation Proclamation was beginning to spread throughout the North.

The Washington Nationals racing presidents are headed back to the ice to reprise last year's Presidents Day race at Nassau Coliseum.
Our favorite oversized presidents made the journey to New York last year to hold the first-ever presidents race on ice skates between periods of a New York Islanders hockey game. After posing for photos with fans before the game, they slipped and slided (and scuffled) across the ice, with predictable results.
A video of that race can be found in our Presidents Race Videos collection.
The Islanders have invited the presidents back this year. With no game scheduled for Presidents Day, look for George, Tom, Abe, and Teddy to make their appearance the night before, at the scheduled 5:00pm game on Sunday, February 14, between the host New York Islanders and the Ottawa Senators.
Last year, the Post's Dan Steinberg got a tip that the presidents had been spotted training at Ballston's Kettler Capitals Iceplex. Stay tuned for more on any planned public workouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I figure out my ring size? How does FMJ size rings?
If you do not know your ring size you can get sized by any local jeweler or you can purchase the listing below and do it from home! I do not recommend self measuring as this is not an accurate way to obtain a true ring size.
I use standard USA ring sizing but can help you confirm the right size in any other measuring scale (UK, Australian, European).
*Please note I cannot be held responsible for incorrect ring size determination based on self measurement.
When will my order ship?
Most items within my shop typically are made and shipped between business days after purchase. Etsy displays a creation "ships in" timeframe before, during, and after your purchase. To view your order and ship time info follow these steps:
click on the "you" tab
click on the "purchases and reviews" tab
scroll down till you find your order with me
If your order has shipped already it will display a big BLUE button that says "track package".
click the blue "track package" button and a new window will pop up.
*NOTE etsy's link with the USPS system is not always accurate or up to date. To view the USPS tracking system you need to scroll down, find your tracking number, and click it to be redirected to the tracking page for the USPS.
Etsy Displayed FREE Shipping During Purchase
Free shipping is offered for orders over $35.00. Should an order be returned for any reason the buyer is responsible for the standard $4.00 shipping charge which etsy has incorporated into the item cost at the time of the purchase. Should an order be partially refunded, if the order total drops below the $35.00 threshold, the shipping cost will be deducted from the item refund.
*Also please note that First Class/Priority shipping options contain NO insurance on a parcel unless you have payed an additional fee for the USPS service. USPS Express Includes insurance up to $100.00. If you would like, for an additional cost, you can add further insurance if needed(you must contact me prior to purchase for this service).
Gift wrapping and packaging
All items come gift wrapped/boxed and carefully packaged. If you purchase multiple items within 1 order all items will be grouped into 1 box upon shipment to conserve shipping cost. If you would like to purchase additional boxes it is not a problem, please contact me prior to purchase for a custom listing for additional boxes!
What is oxidized?
I use sterling silver and LOS to make oxidized items. The oxidized effect is a hematite finish or is almost black in color. Please note this process is not permanent, as wear and tear can buff away the layers of darkeneing causing an almost antique effect eventually.
Can I return or exchange my order?
Personalized or "custom listing" items such as initial rings or birthstone duos can not be returned. If you order a ring with either of these and it does not fit it can be resized! I do not charge for this service though keep in mind the information below when purchasing:
The customer is responsible for shipping costs to/ from my studio for returns and exchanges, and prior shipping costs cannot be refunded.
I accept exchanges and returns on all other items.

The racing presidents accompanied the Washington Nationals to Pittsburgh's PNC Park this week, marking the fifth straight year the presidents have faced off with Pittsburgh's racing pierogies.
PNC Park has never been kind to the presidents — particularly Teddy Roosevelt, who famously got leveled there by Potato Pete in 2009.
Perhaps that's why he and sat out the first race of the series Tuesday night. As George Washington and Abe Lincoln squared off against Jalapeño Hannah and Sauerkraut Sal, Teddy and Thomas Jefferson manned the finish line.
As they always seem to do at home, the pierogies trounced the presidents.

Psych Series Finale Recap: How Did It End?
[WARNING: This story contains major spoilers from Wednesday's series finale of Psych. Read at your own risk - and preferably with a side of pineapple!]
Even a pesky multiple murder mystery couldn't deter Shawn (James Roday) and Gus (Dulé Hill) from making some major life decisions on the series finale of Psych. After the introduction of new head detective Betsy Brannigan earlier this season, it started to become very clear that the Santa Barbara Police Department no longer had use for Psych. Although Shawn could see the writing on the wall clearly - and even though Gus had already moved on to his fancy new job with his fancy new work car and his fancy new workplace kitchen - Shawn couldn't bear to break the news to his BFF.
So instead of manning up and breaking the truth to his friend in person, Shawn goes the much more complicated route and films video messages for Gus, as well as Lassiter, Woodrow, and his dad, Henry. "I accept this is my fatal flaw. I just can't quite engage all the way when I really need to, when it really matters, when the chips are down," Shawn tells Gus in an emotional message he leaves for Gus only after he's already left town. Shawn assures Gus that he's going to be "better than fine" because Shawn has been kept from the life he deserved.
Psychstars and creator say goodbye and leave the door open for a possible movie
Although the video message to Gus is a lovely scene, the best message by far is the one to the oft-mentioned, but never seen Dobson, who is revealed to be none other than ... Val Kilmer! "We didn't get to speak nearly as much as I ever would have liked, but I heard more about you than anyone ever could. You sound heroic. The kind of guy that I could have worshipped as a child, and an adolescent, well into my 20s," Shawn says.
Shawn's video message to Lassiter is also revealing in that Shawn tries to come clean about his psychic abilities. But as he starts to say, "the truth is, I am not..." at which point Lassiter takes the DVD out and breaks it in half.
TV shows we're losing this year
Obviously, the video goodbye does not do Gus and Shawn's friendship justice, and Gus ends up abruptly leaving his job, then trying to go back, then really leaving and arriving in San Francisco just in time to interrupt Shawn declaring his intention to start his life with Juliet immediately. "I'm an adventurer now with a friendship for the ages and if I have to live in another city to make that happen, then so be it," Gus declares.
However, Shawn still tops Gus' declaration when he proposes to Juliet outside of a crime scene. "Jules, will you marry us? Me, mostly me, even though Gus is always going to be part of the deal," he asks. "Yes, I will marry the crap out of you, Shawn Spencer," she responds. However, the proposal ends with some random thief running by and snatching Shawn's grandmother's ring right out of his hand. Shawn, Gus and Juliet drop into a car to speed after the culprit as the show fades to black. "I wanted the end of the show to be: This is not the end of all of it. These guys are still going out and having these adventures somewhere else. It's just not being put on television right now," creator and executive producer Steve Franks told TVGuide.com last week about the finale. "For me, it was always that - it was about continuing. I knew that the last minute is them racing off on another case."
So what did you think of Psych's finale? Do you like the way that it ended? What will you miss about the show?

For all the talk about a "post-PC" world, most people use smartphones and tablets as additions to their existing technological arsenal, rather than a replacement for a standard laptop or desktop. What many users fail to realize is that there are a number of ways to combine the capabilities of your PC and mobile device that can make your tablet or smartphone an even more powerful tool. We've previously examined how to use your mobile devices to make your PC more useful: we talked about how to turn a tablet into a second monitor, how to make your phone a file server, how to use your phone as a keyboard and mouse, and how to easily stream your video library to your phone or tablet. This week, we'll talk about how to use your smartphone as a document scanner.
While reading the comments to our review of Doxie's portable document scanner a few weeks back, I noticed that a few of you were eschewing scanners entirely in favor of these phone apps, so I decided to dig a little deeper. It turns out that there's no shortage of scanner software for both iOS and Android, and most of the apps are pretty similar in operation: take a picture of a document with the phone's camera, apply post-processing filters as desired, and then save the scans to your phone. The differences lie in price, and in what the apps can do with your "scans" after you've made them.
Cheap and simple: JotNot Scanner Pro
If you're using iOS and want something simple and inexpensive, MobiTech 3000's free JotNot Scanner will get the job done. You use the app by either snapping a photo of your document or importing it from your photo library, at which point it will attempt to detect the edges of your document. The app does a pretty good job of edge detection by itself, but you can move the edges of the document around before post-processing to make sure your scan just shows the document and not part of your desk or table underneath. For the best results, you'll want to get in as close to the document as you can, make sure that it's lying flat, and ensure that you're not taking the photo from an excessive angle—this can cause odd bending and warping of the final scan—it's especially problematic if you're trying to capture a sheet of paper that has begun to curl at the edges.
By default, the app then ramps up the contrast to eliminate noise and more accurately simulate an actual scanned document. This does have the unfortunate side effect of eliminating detail, however—when you're shooting a black-and-white document in a well-lit room, most details come through well enough to be perfectly readable, but fine detail and color accuracy can be obliterated by this process, especially in low light. You can choose between a few scan enhancement presets (or define your own custom enhancement presets) in the app's settings to try to get more satisfactory results if you're having problems—the source photo of the scan is saved so that you can come back to it and try again as often as you need to.
Once you've scanned a document, you're free to add more pages to create a multi-page scan. To move your scans to your computer, the free version is capable of saving scans to your camera roll, which you can then move to your computer via Photo Stream or a USB cable. There's also a Pro version available for $1.99 that adds support for uploading to Evernote, Box.net, Dropbox, Google Docs, and WebDAV shares; e-mailing scans; and converting scans into JPG, PNG, and PDF; but you can save money by downloading the application and activating that functionality via a $0.99 in-app purchase.
Other JotNot features of note include the ability to send faxes via an in-app purchase; the feature costs $0.99 for faxes up to five pages long. Using your phone's IP address, you can also use the app's WiFi sharing feature to connect to the device with your PC or Mac to download individual scans or a complete .zip archive of every scanned document stored on the device.
More costly, more capable: CamScanner+
CamScanner+ costs $4.99 and comes in both iOS and Android versions. Like JotNot, it can e-mail scans in PDF or JPG formats (but not PNG), save scans to your phone's photo library, and integrate with cloud services like Google Docs, Box.net, Dropbox, and Evernote. However, the higher price gets you some additional features.
The app is better at storing and organizing scans, and allowing you to find them later: scans can be categorized under one of several predefined or custom-made tags, making it easier to keep your business cards separate from your receipts, and you can make notes on each scan that you can then search for later. CamScanner also includes optical character recognition (OCR), which can make the text of scanned documents searchable, useful if you're digging through your scans looking for one particular document.
The process of actually taking and/or importing pictures is very similar to JotNot, as you can see above, but CamScanner uses its own picture-taking UI instead of the native UI, giving it a couple of extra options. For one, the app can easily switch between single-page and multipage documents as you're taking the pictures with just a flip of a (virtual) switch, rather than having to take and process one picture at a time as you do in JotNot. This greatly expedites the process of creating a multipage document, though a document scanner with a sheet feeder will obviously be faster still.
To my eye, CamScanner also labels its scan enhancement options more clearly—rather than burying them in a Presets menu, the different options are presented to you right after your phone finishes enhancing the scan, allowing you to make changes on the fly. Like JotNot, CamScanner keeps a copy of the original photo so you can go back and retouch your scans as needed.
Since scanned documents also contain some sensitive information, CamScanner gives you the option to set an app-specific passcode that is independent of your device's passcode—that way, even if you share the phone or tablet with family members or coworkers, they can't immediately access all of your scans.
A free version of CamScanner is also available for iOS and Android; while it can upload to cloud services and do much of what the paid version can do, it uses advertisements and puts a watermark on everything it scans—the latter is not especially desirable for professional usage. It also lacks the OCR capabilities of the paid version.
Neither JotNot Scanner nor CamScanner are feasible for high-volume use, for cases where detail is of the essence, or for excessively damaged documents that won't lie flat on their own. If all you need to do is scan a few business cards or receipts every now and again, though, scanner apps can do the job of a portable document scanner for a fraction of the price.

The Disturbing Mental Health Situation of Returning Soldiers
Posted by The Situationist Staff on April 30, 2008
The military conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan have led to over 4,700 deaths of U.S. soldiers (in addition to over 1.2 million deaths of Iraqi and Afghan people) and tens of thousands of physical injuries to U.S. soldiers. As we know too well, some of those injuries are catastrophic.
The mental health of returning soldiers has received much less attention, no doubt in part because those injuries are less apparent, because many people still view mental illness as less serious than physical illness, and because of choice myth in the context of mental illness: there is a common presumption that mental illness reflects a weak will (as opposed to biological impairment) of the person and that it can be corrected by the person, if the person so chooses.
Given the horrific conditions of warfare, however, perhaps the mental illness of soldiers will receive more credibility. New revelations about the number of veterans attempting suicide will certainly draw attention to the issue: although the Veterans Health Administration recently claimed that 800 veterans are attempting suicide each year, newly-uncovered e-mails from government officials indicate the actual number of veterans attempting suicide each year is closer to 12,000.
Just released data about the number of soldiers who have returned, and will return, from Iraq and Afghanistan with very serious mental health-related problems should also raise public consciousness. A new study by the RAND Corporation entitled "Invisible Wounds of War," indicates a truly jaw-dropping figure: 1 out of every 5 returning soldiers–or about 300,000 total soldiers to date–suffers from either post-traumatic stress disorder or major depression. Below we excerpt an article by Lizette Alvarez of the International Herald Tribune on this topic.
* * *
One in five service members who have returned from Iraq or Afghanistan report symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder or major depression, but little more than half of them have sought mental health treatment, according to an independent study of United States troops.
The service members and veterans who reported these symptoms represented about 19 percent of the 1.6 million service members who have deployed to war in the last five years, a figure consistent with the most recent findings by military researchers. A 2007 survey of combat army soldiers who had been home for several months found that 17 percent of active-duty troops and 25 percent of reservists had screened positive for symptoms of stress disorder.
The study, released on Thursday by the RAND Corporation, reported that about 19 percent of the troops said they might have experienced a traumatic brain injury, usually the result of powerful roadside bombs, yet a majority of those troops had never been evaluated for such an injury.
The 500-page study is the first exhaustive, private analysis of the psychological and cognitive injuries suffered by service members. The study sought to determine the prevalence of these injuries, gaps in treatment and the costs of treating, or failing to treat, the conditions.
RAND researchers conducted a telephone survey from last August to January 2008 with 1,965 service members, reservists and veterans who had deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan in the last five years. Some respondents had deployed more than once. The researchers also gathered data from focus groups. The survey was conducted in 24 communities with high concentrations of service members, reservists and veterans.
The Defense Department said that it was heartened that the data reflected its own findings on the prevalence of mental injuries, and that the study helped highlight the hurdles the military faces in helping veterans.
"We're on a long journey, and we've come a long way, but we've got a long way to go," said Colonel Loree Sutton of the army, head of the new Defense Center of Excellence for Psychological Health and Traumatic Brain Injury.
Lisa Jaycox, a senior behavioral scientist at RAND and a co-author of the new study, "Invisible Wounds of War," said the findings also served to underscore the barriers, some of them self-imposed, that troops face in getting help. War veterans say they are often reluctant to seek treatment, in part out of fear that their medical information will be used to derail their careers. Commanders typically have access to a service member's military medical records.

The Pioneer 10 spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida on March 2, 1972. Its planned mission was to be the first man-made craft to traverse the asteroid belt and image Jupiter up close. Pioneer 10's power plant design was required to last for a minimum of two years in space, but the craft was still traveling and transmitting on January 23, 2003—30 years, 10 months, and 22 days later—when the signal became too weak to pick up on Earth. It was 80 AU (12 billion kilometers) away, at the edge of the solar system.
After Pioneer 10 and its younger sibling, Pioneer 11, passed the 20 AU mark, radio-metric Doppler data showed that there was a deviation in the acceleration of the spacecraft from the numbers predicted by scientists and astronautical engineers. This was first noticed in 1980, but did not receive significant attention until the mid 1990s. It was found that if a tiny, constant, sunward acceleration of (8.74±1.33)x10-10 m/s2 was applied to the predicted orbital model, the discrepancy between the model and the data would go away. However, the source of this acceleration has remained an open question that has had many possible explanations, from the mundane to what was termed "new physics."
Recent analysis suggests that some form of "new physics"—such as the breakdown of the inverse square law of gravity as described by Newton—will have to wait, as the more pedestrian answer of thermal recoil solves the problem. Thermal recoil force is the (ever so slight) force that results from thermal photons being emitted from a surface—it's Newton's "for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction" in a straightforward form. If heat emissions are distributed unevenly on the spacecraft, then more thermal photons emanating from a given area will impart more of a force in the opposite direction—enough to account for the acceleration anomaly.
To figure out if this is possible here, a team of researchers from Caltech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the Applied Science Laboratory built a highly detailed finite-element (FE) thermal model of the Pioneer 10 spacecraft. Many modern FE packages can import CAD drawings of the surface or solid you wish to model; however, a spacecraft designed in the 1960s predates the use of CAD (it was done by hand with old school isometric drawings and instrumentation diagrams). The final thermal FE model consisted of about 3,300 surface elements, 3,700 nodes, and 8,700 linear conductors plus the thermal and radiative properties for each—putting all that together shows off the fun an intern or first year graduate student can look forward to.
The Pioneer 10 spacecraft was powered by four radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTG), each one holding about 100 grams of 238Pu. As they generated heat, it would not be distributed evenly around the spacecraft, and the FE analysis was used to determine the actual distribution of temperature. To determine the magnitude of the recoil force, the spacecraft model was placed at the center of a large black sphere with a radius of 40 times the diameter of the high gain antenna on the craft.
The amount of radiative emission absorbed by the sphere's surface then corresponded to the amount of momentum carried in that direction. The authors were able to model the RTG thermal power output to within one percent of the known value, and temperatures that were always within ±2K.
Combining this data with the equation that relates the thermal power emitted in a given direction with the resulting acceleration, the team came up with a two parameter model that describes the acceleration due to thermal recoil force. The two terms in the equation relate the acceleration derived from the RTGs, and the acceleration that results from the thermal energy of the electronic equipment on board the spacecraft. The two free variables are the net efficiencies of each process, i.e. how much energy is really turned into acceleration. They come up with ηRTG = 0.0104 and ηElec = 0.406, with an RMS error of only 0.78 W, a value well below the inherent error in the telemetry.
To complement the novel thermal model presented in the paper, the researchers also incorporated their thermal recoil force model into a Doppler analysis of the actual craft's travels through the solar system. This allowed them to carry out a completely independent sanity check of their work to see if the values they obtained for the efficiency parameters from the thermal model would agree with another method. Here, they find an ηRTG = 0.0144 and ηElec = 0.480—very close to the numbers obtained by the thermal analysis, but producing about a 20 percent higher force. To determine if this was a statistically significant difference, the authors examined the ηRTG and ηElec parameter space, and plotted out the region within it that included a 1σ deviation. They found that at a 1σ level, these two estimates of the parameters overlapped each other, indicating that they were statistically similar.
The net result: accounting for this heat emission seems to bring the predicted trajectory much more in line with the craft's actual trajectory.
The authors finish their paper by listing areas of research that could further improve these numbers; better estimates of certain thermal properties of various coatings on the craft, out gassing of various components over the years, and even a repeat of the analysis with the Pioneer 11 spacecraft. They conclude with the following simple statement: "the anomalous acceleration of these spacecraft is consistent with known physics." Just another nail in the coffin for those hoping alternate theories of gravity like MOND may yet hold true.

A 100-year tradition was extended last night to Nationals Park, as our Nationals' new home stadium was host for the first time to the annual Congressional Baseball game.
With tickets going for $8.00 each, the event usually raises over $100,000 for local Washington, DC charities, but make no mistake. Competition on the field is fierce and bragging rights much sought-after as many of the participating congressmen are former athletes, and the Republican legislators were eager to extend their 7-year winning streak over their rival Democrats.
The rematch of last year's starting pitchers, Rep. John Shimkus (R, IL) and Rep. Joe Baca (D, CA), went back and forth until the seventh inning, when Rep. Connie Mack IV (R, FL, grandson of hall-of-famer Connie Mack, Jr.) got the game-winning RBI off Baca as the Republicans took their 8th straight by a score of 11-10. The game featured an unofficial running of the presidents race, in which George Washington beat Abe Lincoln to the finish line.

Teddy Roosevelt learned Tuesday night that what happens in Harrisburg doesn't necessarily stay in Harrisburg.
With the team in Philadelphia last weekend, the Nationals' racing presidents made their own road trip to Harrisburg's Metro Bank Park, where the Class-AA Senators were hosting the Trenton Thunder for a 3-game series.
George, Tom, Abe, and Teddy greeted fans and ran races during all three games, but the proceedings quickly turned contentious, as George Washington knocked out the Senators' mascot Rascal during a 3rd-inning dance Friday night. Later, Senators racing monkeys Bingo, Bongo, and Steve ran onto the field and tackled Teddy Roosevelt just short of the finish line.
Flash forward to Tuesday night, where the racing presidents were ready to put their Harrisburg troubles behind them, and ditch their road greys for blue patriotic home uniforms.
Roosevelt in particular looked very much in his comfort zone, as #26 jumped out to a big lead in the fourth-inning race. With the crowd cheering what appeared to be a sure victory, racing monkey Steve appeared from the stands in section 133 wearing a Stephen Strasburg jersey.
Teddy bounced off the monkey and appeared to have withstood the attack, but lost his balance and fell on his back as Abe Lincoln raced past him to claim victory.
Slo-mo take-down below.
