Two different audiences and two very different screenings. After unfamiliar 48fps Hobbit footage was pretty universally panned back at Cinema-Con, Peter Jackson decided to play it safe and show Comic-Con fans the traditional low frame-rate teaser. Their response? They loved it. Which would, you'd think, give the head hobbit a clear message: his film works better without the wacky frame rate, but that's just not how he sees it. Writing on his Facebook page, he said "I've always been happy to bet on myself" and the 48fps version of Hobbit is "something really special" when you watch the entire movie. In other words, he's sticking to his orc sword, and in the meantime we're left to wonder what would have happened if the Comic-Con crowd -- who are perhaps more his kind of people than Cinema-Con goers -- had been shown the tricked out footage.
What kind of vacations you are planning for? There are many places that you could go - beaches, resorts, theme parks, big cities, tourist traps - but one option that you may not have considered is a golf vacation in Ireland which is also known as Emerald Isle because of its greenery and natural beauty. There is no finer place to play golf in the whole world than in Ireland. There are a number of world class golf courses in Ireland. Like, Royal Portrush, used for the Senior British Open, and Ballybunion, a links course in County Kerry that is situated in a small seaside town. Ballybunion is rated among the top ten golf courses in the world, and is a typical links course, built among sand dunes on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. Ballybunion is even favorite golf course of Tom Watson. Tom Watson is one of the leading professional golfers. One of the main reasons to go on golf vacation is to play golf but the secondary reason is to learn golf. Existing golfers can improve their game. There are many golf resorts in Ireland which offer coaching or facilities for beginners. In our day to day hectic life, we often do not manage to give time to our hobbies and interests. If you are a sport lover then vacation is the right duration to practice your sport. Doing something that gives pleasure and satisfaction to mind, is the best feeling. This will gives you relaxation and peace of mind. Besides playing golf in Ireland, you devote your extra time for sightseeing. Ireland has much to do and watch. There are many prevalent spots to explore. Like the Giants Causeway in County Antrim, Cliffs of Moher, Connemara and the Lakes of Killarney there Ireland has a wide and varied heritage. The magnificent Book of Kells, which was drafted by Celtic Monks in the ninth century AD, is located at Trinity College, Dublin. Other marvelous places to visit include Newgrange in County Meath, a burial chamber and tomb, which predate Stonehenge and the Egyptian Pyramids at Giza. Thus, golf vacations in Ireland guarantees full entertainment and fun. Great golf and a great time for everybody!

The Bulgarian president Rosen Plevneliev and his Greek counterpart Carolos Papoulias met in Athens on 4 July and one of the main topics of their discussion was the gas connection between the two countries. The connection is important for ensuring energy security in the region and its funding has already been arranged.
The two heads of state agreed that both countries will accelerate the work on the projects for energy diversification. Connecting the electricity grids of Bulgaria and Greece is expected to happen in the context of the future single European energy market.
?Bulgaria is the main exporter of electricity to Greece? said Plevneliev and added: ?Further efforts are needed in the construction of joint infrastructure projects, among which is the ?Struma? highway. Bulgaria and Greece can both use more effectively the European instruments for financing regional projects?.
Furthermore, he highlighted the prospects for joint cooperation in the Black Sea region, in particular in tourism development, and recapped that ?Greece is the third largest investor in Bulgaria and Greek companies create over 100,000 jobs?.
Both heads of state agreed that Bulgaria and Greece can be a catalyst for development of the region via their mutual work.
Thousands of California doctors have banded together against insurance giant Aetna. The doctors filed a suit against the company in the Los Angeles County Superior Court accusing them of denying patients coverage for out-of-network doctors visits.
The thousands of doctors involved in the suit claim Aetna even refused patients who purchased a policy that allowed them to visit any doctors, whether they were in the network or not.
Reuters reports that the suit was brought by Los Angeles County Medical Association, the California Medical Association, and a variety of health care organizations. The complaint totals 29 pages and was filed on Tuesday, Modern Healthcare reports.
Countering the doctors? claims, spokespeople for Aetna claim that the new lawsuit is a retaliation to a lawsuit the insurance giant filed against Bay Area Surgical Management in February. In that lawsuit, Aetna charged that most of the doctors overcharged for procedures, in some cases the insurance company claims they overcharged 10 times what they should have for some procedures.
Additionally, Aetna claims that doctores referred patients to out-of-network facilities that were owned by those same medical professionals, thereby gaining a profit without telling their patients.
Reuters quotes an Aetna spokesperson, Cynthia Michener:
We have sued some of these same doctors and surgery centers named in the suit for their egregious billing practices in February of this year?This is a countersuit disguised as a class action lawsuit.
Michener made it clear that Aetna will continue to go after doctors who have accused the company with charges that are ?grossly out of line.? MSNBC quotes Michener as saying, ?This is a countersuit disguised as a class action suit.? The lawsuit filed by the doctors represents an important stand against the dominance of insurance companies in the medical field. The suit demands compensation for patients and medical professionals in the face of unfair business practices and false advertising.
Actively threatened patients
The newest complaint also asserts that Aetna actively threatened patients with denial of coverage and ejection from the program if they attempted to visit an out-of-network facility.
As Modern Healthcare sums up, the ?plaintiffs also seek an order from a judge directing Aetna to cease and desist from discouraging the use of out-of-network providers, and declaring that any Aetna contracts with providers that restrict referrals for out-of-network care are illegal and not enforceable.?
A pitched battle between healthcare providers and insurance giants illustrates the often strained relations between branches of the health care system in the United States. The personal and business interests of companies, both in insurance to pharmaceuticals, continue to plague individuals who have purchased health care but do not receive the coverage they paid for. In this regard the suit these doctors have presented against Aetna has some ground, if they can find and defend the evidence to back up their claims.

Yes, we the taxpayers are paying Clement to defend DOMA. We also pay Donald Verrilli, of course, but not $1,000 an hour or $1.5 million?his annual salary is $165,300. Surely, the House Republicans will still bet on Clement as worth the price, never mind his losses this term. But his record is a reminder, welcome or not, that even the best lawyering doesn?t mean victory before the Supreme Court. The argument five justices prefer, plus good-enough lawyering, does.
