President Obama warned Congress on Friday that shutting down the government would halt any economic momentum the country has established, telling a crowd at a Ford plant here that "our recovery still needs to build more strength."
"Right now the debate that is going on in Congress is not meeting the test of helping middle class families," the president said. "It is just - they are not focused on you. They are focused on politics. They are focused on trying to mess with me. They are not focused on you."
Hours before the president took the podium, House Republicans set up a potential shutdown by approving a resolution to fund the government contingent upon defunding the president's signature health care law. Both Democrats and Republicans in the Senate have said they will not support such a measure, creating a potential impasse.
Comparing the House Republicans' strategy to hostage-taking and breath-holding the president urged his opponents to end their unwillingness to budge "if you don't get 100 percent of what you want. Nobody gets 100 percent of what you want."
"I don't mind them disagreeing with me," Obama said. "If they don't like the Affordable Care Act, they'd rather have people not have health insurance. You know I'm happy to have that debate with them. But you don't have to threaten to blow the whole thing up just because you don't get your way, right?
Funding the government is the first of two major deadlines Congress will face in the coming weeks. If lawmakers are able to reach an agreement to keep the government open beyond Sept. 30, they will quickly face another fight over whether to increase the nation's borrowing limit.
On Friday, the president repeated his refusal to negotiate over the debt ceiling.
"We are not some banana republic," Obama said. "This is not a deadbeat nation. We don't run out on our tab. We are the world's bedrock investment. The entire world looks to us to make sure the world economy is stable. We can't just not pay our bills and even threatening something like that is the height of irresponsibility. What I have said is I will not negotiate over the full faith and credit of the United States."
The president said he's ready to work with members of both parties who are willing to negotiate to solve these problems, but they are being held up by a "faction on the far right" who won't cooperate without dismantling Obamacare.
"They are not talking now about spending cuts," Obama said. "They are not talking about entitlement reform. They are not talking about any of that. Now they are talking about something that has nothing to do with the budget - right? They are actually willing to plunge America into default if we can't defund the Affordable Care Act."

Task force to focus on speeding on Jerry Clower Blvd.
Herald Reporter
Drivers ignoring the speed limit signs on Jerry Clower Boulevard may want to think twice after this week.
Chief Eric Snow said he has dispatched a special five-man unit to specifically handle speeders on the busy roadway after numerous complaints and accidents.
"These guys are going after the big trucks and regular vehicles that are speeding," Snow said. "We have had to do this due to the recent complaints."
There have been numerous complaints about drivers racing down Jerry Clower Boulevard, running red lights and ignoring other traffic laws. The majority of the complaints have involved 18-wheelers, many which are paid by the load.
But Snow said his crew isn't targeting anyone. They want all speeders to think twice before barreling down the busy street.
"I brought these guys in and told them that their main concern was slowing down the trucks and other vehicles," Snow said.

text: "The papers in this volume cover topics in the econometric approach to missing-data problems. Data can be missing because an individual failed to answer a question or because the laws of nature imply that an individual can only follow one of several possible paths. We refer to the first case as one of missing observations and to the second case as one of unobserved outcomes. This volume reflects the fact that econometricians have been very active in the development and use of methods for unobserved outcomes. The huge interest in these methods caused the volume to be split into parts A and B. The 12 chapters in Part A discuss cross-sectional methods. All the papers either derive, survey, or evaluate new methods for handling missing-data problems. Per the current interest in econometrics, 11 of the 12 papers address unobserved-outcome problems. The 4 chapters in Part B discuss time-series methods. Two chapters comprehensively survey the use of Markov switching models in finance. The third chapter surveys discrete-time and continuous-time models for volatility.The fourth chapter derives a new imputation method for nonstationary panel-data models and compares it to existing methods.

Obama motorcade zooms past Bill and Hillary Clinton
People aren't kidding when they say Washington can be a small town.
While President Obama was returning from his daughter's basketball game Sunday, his motorcade sped past Bill and Hillary Clinton as they were walking a dog.
The couple was spotted on Massachusetts Avenue near the British Embassy, just around the corner from their home on Whitehaven Street.
While the outgoing secretary of state is based in Washington, her husband spends a great deal of time in New York, the site of his nonprofit organization The Clinton Foundation.
On a more public scale, they were also seen arm in arm Monday at Obama's inauguration ceremony.
The street sighting comes just hours before a taped interview of Obama and Hillary Clinton - their first joint interview - airs on CBS Sunday night.

Fall trend: Oxblood
Red has taken a very dark turn for fall. The eggplants, jewel tones, maroons and mauves that always make their way into stores at this time of year now have some serious competition from their deeper, darker cousin: oxblood, an extreme burgundy that borders on brown.

The following are the major differences between these two systems of theology. They represent the mainstreams of both systems, though there are variations in each. Representative systematic theologies are those of L.S. Chafer and Charles Hodge.
- 1. May be Arminian or modified Calvinist. Almost never 5-point Calvinist.
2. Stresses 'literal' interpretation of the Bible.
3. Usually does not accept the idea of the 'Analogy of Faith.'
4. 'Israel' always means only the literal, physical descendants of Jacob.
5. 'Israel of God' in Gal. 6:16 means physical Israel alone.
6. God has 2 peoples with 2 separate destinies: Israel (earthly) and the Church (heavenly).
7. The Church was born at Pentecost.
8. The Church was not prophesied as such in the O.T. but was a hidden mystery until the N.T.
9. All O.T. prophecies for 'Israel' are for literal Israel, not the Church.'
10. God's main purpose in history is literal Israel.
11. The Church is a parenthesis in God's program for the ages.
12. The main heir to Abraham's covenant was Isaac and literal Israel.
13. There was no eternal Covenant of Redemption within the Trinity.
14. There was no Covenant of Works with Adam in the Garden of Eden.
15. There was no Covenant of Grace concerning Adam.
16. Israel was rash to accept the Covenant at Mt. Sinai.
17. The 'New Covenant' of Jer. 31:31- 34 is only for literal Israel and is not the New Covenant of Lk.22:20.
18. God's program in history is mainly through separate dispensations.
19. Some Dispensationalists have said that O. T. sinners were saved by works.
20. Most Dispensationalists teach that men in the O.T. were saved by faith in a revelation peculiar to their dispensation, but this did not include faith in the Messiah as their sin-bearer.
21. The O.T. sacrifices were not recognized as the Gospel or types of the Messiah as sin-bearer, but only seen as such in retrospect.
22. The Holy Spirit indwells only believers in the dispensation of Grace, not O.T. and not after the Rapture.
23. Jesus.made an offer of the literal Kingdom to Israel; since Israel rejected it, it is postponed.
24. O.T. believers were not in Christ, not part of the Body or Bride of Christ.
25. The Law has been abolished.
26. O. T. laws are no longer in effect unless repeated in the N.T.

28. The O.T. animal sacrifices will be restored in the Millenium.
29. The Millenium will fulfill the Covenant to Abraham. Israel has a future.
30. David will sit on the Millenial throne in Jerusalem.
- 1.Always Calvinist. Usually 5-point.
2.Accepts both literal and figurative interpretation of the Bible.
3. Almost always accepts the idea of The 'Analogy of Faith.'
4. 'Israel' may mean either literal, physicaldescendants of Jacob or the figurative, spiritual Israel, depending on context.
5. 'Israel of God' in Gal. 6:16 means spiritual Israel, parallel to Gal. 3:29; Rom. 2:28029, 9:6; Phil. 3:3.
6. God has always had only 1 people, the Church gradually developed.
7. The Church began in O. T. (Acts 7:38) and reached fulfillment in the N. T.
8. There are many O. T. prophecies of the N. T. Church.
9. Some O. T. prophecies are for literal Israel, others are for spiritual Israel.
10. God's main purpose in history is Christand secondarily the Church.
11. The Church is the culmination of God's saving purpose for the ages.
12. The main heir to Abraham's covenantand was Christ and spiritual Israel.
13. The eternal Covenant of Redemption was within the Trinity to effect election.
14. God made a conditional Covenant of Works with Adam as representative forall his posterity.
15. God made a Covenant of Grace with Christ and His people, including Adam.
16. Israel was right to accept the Covenant Mt. Sinai.

20. All men who have ever been saved have been saved by faith in Christ as their sin-bearer, which has been progressively revealed in every age.
21. O. T. believers believed in the Gospel of Messiah as sin-bearer mainly by the sacrifices as types and prophecies.
22. The Holy Spirit has indwelt believers in all ages, especially in the present N. T. era, and will not be withdrawn.
23. Jesus made only an offer of the spiritual Kingdom, which was rejected by literal Israel but has gradually been accepted by spiritual Israel.
24. Believers in all ages are all 'in Christ' and part of the Body and Bride of Christ.
25. The Law has 3 uses: to restrain sin in society, to lead to Christ, and to instruct Christians in godliness. The ceremonial Laws have been abolished; the civil laws have been abolished except for their general equity; the moral laws continue.
26. O. T. laws are still in effect unless abrogated in the N.T.
27. The Church is the Kingdom of God. Covenanters are usually Amillenial, sometimes Pre-Millenial or Post-Millenial, rarely Pre-Tribulational.
28. The O. T. sacrifices were fulfilled and forever abolished in Christ.
29. Christ fulfilled the Covenant to Abraham. Some Covenanters believe in a future forliteral Israel, most don't.
30. Christ alone sits on the throne. Saints rule under Him.

The most Twittery journalists of them all
Which journalists have the most followers on Twitter? Not surprisingly, they are often the ones with the biggest platforms off Twitter as well. Another way of looking at it: If you've built a big brand on places such as CNN, MSNBC or the New York Times, you can drive up your follower counts easily. (Keep in mind that raw follower counts only tell us part of the story. There are many journalists who have far fewer followers than the big stars, but whose tweets are more likely to be clicked on, retweeted, etc.)

Product Page:
APR is pleased to present the Racingline range of parts developed by Volkswagen Racing UK and distributed exclusively through APR's global dealer network. To learn more about VWR, please visit Volkswagen Racing UK's website.
The VWR Performance Brake System is a highly recommended upgrade for any stock or modified vehicle and perfectly complements APR's and VWR's power and handling modifications. The VWR Performance Brake System is track proven through the Volkswagen Racing Cup in the UK, quality stress tested to strict OEM standards beyond that of TÜV and DOT and is fully manufactured in the UK.
Quick Facts
- 6-Piston, Light Weight, Low Profile, Red/Black/Blue Forged Calipers
- 352mm x 32mm 2-piece, Vented and Grooved Discs
- Aluminum Bells Compatible with VWR Interlocking Hub Spacers

- Fits 18 Inch Wheels and Larger
- Caliper Design Specific for VAG Master Cylinders
- Reduced Unsprung Mass with a Total Weight of 29 LBS Per Side
- Manufactured in the UK
- Replaceable Discs and Pads Available
Brake Calipers
The 6-piston front calipers feature a piston array of varying diameters to ensure even pressure distribution across the entire pad surface. Unlike many generic braking systems on the market today, light braking under daily driving will not result in a 'grabby' or harsh, on/off braking feeling. This is because the VWR braking system is specific to each vehicle and was expertly matched to the OEM master cylinder and brake servo assistance. This ensures pedal feel is nearly identical to stock in normal driving conditions, yet capable of providing tremendous stopping power in high demand situations.
The calipers are forged from lightweight aluminum and designed to house large brake pads. The forged design provides intrinsic compressive stresses to help combat the negative effects of caliper flex, allowing improved force distribution and reduced vibration. Each unit features a thin caliper profile to aid in clearances and weight savings while not sacrificing structural integrity, even in the most demanding environments.
Calipers are available in red, black or blue with Volkswagen Racing script.
Brake Pads
VWR provides performance street brake pads with each system. However, a standard pad size was chosen to afford customers the ability to run their favorite brands and compounds without proprietary restrictions.
Caliper Carriers
VWR provides strong and lightweight aluminum caliper carriers, with Racingline script, to properly mount the brake calipers. Standard mounting hardware is included and longer hardware is available for those with uprated factory aluminum uprights.
Brake Rotors
Massive 352mm x 32mm ventilated and grooved 2-piece disc surfaces provide dramatically better braking, both in terms of pedal response and resistance to fade, under hard use. To reduce brake fade, the ventilated design dissipates heat while the grooved surfaces evacuate gases released from the pads. The 2-piece design further aids in heat dissipation while reducing unsprung mass through the use of a lightweight aluminum bell. Because the bell housing is separate from the disc and reusable, replacement discs are less expensive.
Interlocking Hub Spacers
A key feature of the VWR Braking System is the use of Interlocking Hub Spacers which offer several benefits in one convenient package. The VWR Interlocking Hub Spacers allow for proper caliper clearance and/or extra wheel spacing for looks and handling without increasing vibration, or negatively impacting drivability.
A common problem with larger than stock brake systems is an inability to use OEM and some aftermarket wheels due to the larger caliper width contacting the wheel's spokes. The available VWR Interlocking Hub Spacers allow for an additional spacing of 5mm, 7mm or 10mm depending on application needs. Each spacer locks into the rotor's bell housing to ensure no unnecessary movement or vibration is created under acceleration and braking.
This is a key benefit for customers swapping wheels during harsh winters, daily driving or track use. Within reason, no matter the offset, the VWR Interlocking Hub Spacers allow for issue free fitment of different offset wheels without swapping bell housings, or worse, removal of the entire braking system.
VWR Brakes are designed for 18" and larger diameter wheels. Each Interlocking Hub Adapter is sold separately.
Brake Lines
The VWR Performance Brake System includes braided stainless steel brake lines to improve the braking system's effectiveness and longevity over conventional OEM rubber lines. Rubber lines have a tendency to swell or expand under heavy braking creating a soft or spongy pedal. However, stainless steel lines remain true to their form providing a more responsive and firm brake pedal. Abrasion and corrosion resistant, these lines will stay functional and looking good for years to come.
Bleeding the braking system is a required step in any brake caliper or brake line install and marks a perfect opportunity for upgrading to Motuls premium street or track brake fluids. APR recommends Motul DOT 5.1 for street and light track use and Motul RBF 600 or 660 for track use only. See the Motul section listed below for more details on each fluid.
Lightweight, Strong and Proven
An obvious feature of the VWR Performance Brake System is an increase in stopping power, but an often-overlooked benefit is an increase in acceleration, ride comfort and handling through a reduction in unsprung mass. Typical OEM brake systems on VAG A5 platform vehicles (Golf, Jetta, A3, etc) weigh 33 lbs per side (Even more for Golf R, S3 and larger systems) while the entire VWR system weighs in at 29 LBS with pads!
Manufacturing and Quality Control
Through years of brutal testing in the Volkswagen Racing Cup, the VWR Braking System has proven to be a strong and reliable system for both street and track applications. Each system is manufactured in the UK and sample units are run through a battery of tests as seen below.

On motion by Mr. SHAFFER, the Senate took up the House amendment to the Senste amendment to the bill [H. R. 16] for re-submitting the proposed Constitutional Amendments, which House amendment changes the date of submission from April 4, to March 14, 1881.
Mr. LANGDON moved to count in the House amendment, and demanded the previous question.
Mr. BELL questioned whether the Legislature is properly in possession of any amendments to resubmit to the people.
Mr. BROWN protested against the other side of the Senate pressing this demand for the previous question.
The demand for the previous question was seconded by yeas, 24; nays, 19.
Pending the roll call--
Mr. TRAYLOR, when his name was called, said he desired to state the reason for voting as he would. He thought the time is entirely too short to send this bill out to the various Counties of the State. There is not time enough given to get the notices sufficiently printed, even in the newspapers, so that the people everywhere may learn of the day fixed for submission. He voted "no."
Mr. VIEHE, in explanation of his vote when his name was called, said he had favored this bill and still favors it, but the amendment made by the House of Rpresentatives he did not favor, because the time fixed for submitting these proposed amendments to be voted by the people was too short. Therefore he voted "no."
Mr. WILSON, when his name was called, in explaination of his vote, said he protested against this bill being considered a political question; but because it is a Democratic measure, and a good one voted "aye."
The vote was announced as above, and so the previous question was seconded.
The question being, Shall the main question be now put? the Senate so ordered by a vote of yeas, 26; nays, 18.
The main question being, Shall the Senate concur in the House amendment? it was so ordered by yeas, 24; nays, 20, as follows:
Yeas--Messrs. Berry, Bundy, Chapman, Davis, Garrigus, Graham, Grubbs, Hostetter, Kahlo, Keiser, Langdon, Lockridge, Macartney, Owen, Poindexter, Rahm, Ristine, Sayre, Shaffer, Smith, Spann, Van Voris, White, Wilson, Wood and Yancy--24.
Nays--Messrs. Briscoe, Brown, Coffey, Compton, Davidson, Foster, Hefron, Howard, Hutchinson, Kramer, Leeper, Major, Marvin, Traylor, Urmston, Viehe, Voyles and Woollen--20.
Present, but not voting--Messrs. Bell (paired with Comstock), Bischowski (paired with Hart), Henry (paired with Menzies).
Pending the roll call--
Mr. VIEHE in explanation of his vote, when his name was called, said: "Believing as I do, that the time fixed by the House is too short in which to accomplsh the work required to be done, I vote "No."
So the House amendment was concurred in, and the date fixed for the re-submission of the proposed Constitutional Amendments is March 14, next.
On motion by Mr. VAN VORHIS his bill [S. 93] to establish a State Board of Health, and prescribing a system of registration (see these Reports, pages 83, 84, 85 and 111), was taken up, with a Comnmittee report thereon, recommending its passage with amendments; reducing the number of the Board from seven to five member, reducing the pay of Secretary from $1,500 to $1,200, and striking out the requirement that each County shall furnish an officer for the oard, etc., etc.
Mr. VAN VORHIS said:
In offering this bill to the Senate I have been prompted by an earnest and intense conviction not only of the advisability, but of the paramount necessity for the enactment by this General Assembly of a law establishing a State Board of Health. And if at the end of this session I shall not have given my best effort to secure the passage of such an act by pointing out to Senators the necessity for it, I shall feel that I have but poorly executed the trust confided to me in common with other Senators on this floor. And as the importance of this measure is borne in upon me, I feel most keenly my want of ability to present it in a way at all commensurate with the importance of the subject in a way demanded by the interests of this great Commonwealth.
It is the duty of a government the people themselves have formed--legislative, judicial and executive--to so enact, judge and execute laws that greatest good of the people may be subserved.
But the responsibility resting upon us is far greater than that upon either of the other departments of the State Government. The one interprets, the other executes; but upon us is the responsibility of declaring the will of the people.
Coming as we do directly from the people, bearing credentials evidencing the confidence of our several constituencies, their interests press heavily upon us, and our duty is not to be lightly considered or carelessly performed.
Now, sir, if I have been able to comprehend the interests confided to us they may be divided into two classes--
1. Those interests pertaining to the lives and the health of the citizens of the State.
2. Those interests connected with and growing out of their material possessions.
These two classes of interests are often most intimately connected, and, yet, I take it, the distinctions easily made.
It will require no argument, I apprehend, to convince any intelligent man that those interests pertaining to life and health are of first and highest importance to the people of the State. Individually this is true, and it is no less true when the entire citizenship of the State is considered.
The valuation placed upon life increases with the advance of civilization, and this State common with all the States of the Union and with all civilized nations of the world, has given evidence of the high value it places upon human life by inflicting a terrible penalty upon anyone who, without legal excuse, shall take life.
There are few laws upon our statute books looking to the preservation of public health, and what there are are of little value for the want of a proper department, charged with the duty to, and supplied with the necessary legal machinery for, enforcing them.
Almost the entire law for the preservation of the public health is comprised in the following:
An act forbidding the importation of Texas cattle during certain seasons, as having certain diseases.
An act prescribing how hogs dying of "hog cholera" shall be disposed of, and prescribing a penalty for a violation of it.
page: 200[View Page 200]An act to prevent sheep afflicted with certain contagious diseases from running at large.
An act to prevent the throwing of carrion into a running stream, etc.
An act to prevent feeding coculus indicus to fish in streams.
A act to prevent sale of unwholesome food.
An act to prevent the adulteration of intoxicating liquors.
An act to prevent, the admixture of poisons with food.
An act forbidding the employment of males or females under sixteen years old in cotton or woolen mills for more than ten hours each day.
The nuisance laws contain a provision for the suppression of whatever is injurious to health.
These laws are referred to in an address of the President of the Indiana State Medical Society, pages three and four, a copy of which was several days ago placed upon the tables of each Member of the Senate.
I am sure I do not make a mistake when I assume that not a Senator who hears me to-day but will gladly give his vote for any bill, whether it appropriates $5,000 or inore of the money from the Treasury of the State, if he believes that such a bill, by becoming a law, will save one human life that would otherwise be needlessly sacrificed. More than this: I am confident, if it could be clearly shown, that the appropriation of $5,000 would prevent--nay, if it would give but reasonable assurance of preventing an epidemic in any part of this State that would endanger the lives of any of its eitizens, the money would be appropriated without a dissenting vote.
You would do it as humanitarians, and I do not believe you would stop to inquire what would be the money value of a human life to the State, or would spend a moment's time in considering what the loss of time occasioned by the sickness cousequent upon an epidemic would be worth in dollars and cents.
I believe if you saw that a life could be saved, or suffering prevented, or had a reasonable assurance that such would be the result, upon a proposition looking to that end, you would answer "aye" as your names were called.
But, sir, leaving out entirely in the consideration of this subject all humanitarian ideas, and without one reference to the benevolent spirit of the time, and without one single appeal to the sympathies of the human heart, and see the whole subject be stripped of everything that appeals to our higher and better motives--leaving nothing but the sordid skeleton of man and interest and there is still sufficient upon which to base an unanswerable argument in favor of the purposes intended to be accomplishd by the provisions of this bill.
Human life has a money value and so has physical health.
It is against the feelings of my better nature to consider the subject from this point of view. It almost makes one shudder to think of examining a human life with the icy coolness of business shrewdness and calculation, and measuring human suffering by the heartless standard of profit and loss, that we may determine whether, in dollars and cents, it will pay to save the one or prevent the other.
But, sir, it is a matter of financial interest to the State whether her citizens live or die. It is a matter of the gravest business concern whether they are sick or well.
Disease is a calamity to the State as well as to the individual, and Professor Waterman, to whose address I have before referred, has well said that "disease, considered only from a financial point of view, is one of the most expensive and wasteful directions in which imperfectly organized society is taxed for its carelessness and ignorance."
I imagine that one who has not examined this subject will be startled at the results of calculations, and may be incredulous until he has given the subject careful attention. But when such attention has been given, the earnestness and even enthusiasm of those who are impressed with the approximate accuracy of the results will cease to be a cause of wonder.
To give you an idea of the losses to society by sickness and death--before attempting to show you approximately the loss entailed upon Indiana every year by preventable diseases and avoidable deaths--I desire to read some extracts from the address of Professor Waterman. [Reads from Waterman's address, page five, etc.] Now, sir, it is a fact that I do not think will be questioned by any one laying claim to even a moderate amount of information concerning the subject, that every year a large number of lives are lost and much time consumed--to say nothing of expenses entailed--by diseases known to be preventable. To those who have not though of this subject to any extent, if there are any such among th Senators, I refer to a few extracts from a paper in the Report of the Bureau of Statistics for the year 1879, [Reads from pages 467, 468, 470, and from the report of the State Board of Health of Connecticut, page nine.]
In this connection I desire to show approximately the loss to this State by this class of diseases. Making the calculation upon a basis recognized by scientific men the world over, and according to an estimate concerning death and sickness in Indiana considered entirely safe, and certainly much below what would be indicated by the reports of medical gentlmen, extracts from the which reports I have just read.
From all the available statistics the death rate in Indiana can safely be counted at twenty per thousand. Now experience and statistics show that by a proper system of sanitary regulation the death rate can be reduced to fifteen per thousand. In other words, in Indiana 25 per cent. are the result of preventable diseases. The population of the State is in round numbers about 2,000,000, of which about 40,000 die annually. At least 10,000 of these deaths are the result of preventable diseases.
Now, estimate each life to be worth $500 to the State, one-half the amount estimated to be the value of a United States soldier, and $120 less than the estimate made by the Superintedent of the Statistical Departmentn of the Register General's office in England, and the total loss to the State would be $5,000,000 annually.
Now, suppose the persons thus dying, are not short of the average expentancy of life five years, a very low estimate indeed, and you will have a loss of 50,000 years' labor. Counting the labor worth $50 a year and the loss in labor to the State will be $2,500,000.
According to the estimae made in England, based upon their statistics, there are enough sick to make an average of 730 days of sickness, counting those who die and those who are sick that to not die to each death.
If this calculation be restricted to the 10,000 supposed to be preventable deaths in Indiana and reducing the English average number of days of sickness from 730 to 400, so as to be absolutely safe in the calculation, and it shows 4,000,000 days of sickness that should be prevented. If the loss of time and expense on account of sickness be counted according to the Massachusetts estimate of $2 per day, it will show a loss to the State on account of preventable sickness alone, of $8,000,000.
Value of lives lost at $500 each | $5,000,000 |
Lost labor by reason of death at $50
per year |
2,500,000 |
Lost time during sickness and
expenses during sickness |
8,000,000> |
Total | $15,500,000 |
This enormous sum represents the amount that would be saved annually to the people of the State by reducing the death rage from twenty to fifteen per 1,000, and the sickness in same proportion.
Typhoid fever is a preventable disease clearly, and yet this city has lost every year for the last eight years on the basis of the best sanitary calculations about $100,000 per annum from this disease alone--and in this calculation we have well-collected statistics upon which to base our calculations, and therefore claim that it is correct.
These calculations are based on reports furme by the President of the Board of Health of the city of Indianapolis, Dr E. S. Elder.
I do not wonder that those who hear such statements for the first time, without having had an opportunity to examine into the matter closely, have their credulity taxed to its utmost.
Surely making ever so much allowance for overestimation (and I ask you to observe that in this calculation I have made a very much lower estimate than is made by the highest authorities in the world, who have made their estimates upon carefully prepared statistics after many years' observations), there is sufficient in the estimate to show that in this State each year there is enormous waste of the power of the State by diseases that are preventable.
Can it be doubted that it is the duty of this General Assembly, without longer delay and withous hesitation, because of a few dollars' or a few thousand dollars' expense, to take some steps toward an orgaization that shall have for its object the prevention of such diseases?
Surely, whether the subject be considered from a humanitarian or a financial point of view, this must be the conclusion.
Whether the bill under consideration or some other bill having a similar purpose should become a law, depends upon whether it is necessary, for the work to be in any degree successful, that it should be undertaken by the State, under its direction and at its expense.
If lives are lost by disease that can be prevented, and time wasted and expense incurred by sickness that should not occur, it is certainly evident that somebody should undertake the work of prevention.
Who should do it? is the only question left to be considered prior to the consideration of the special provisions of this bill.
If the State for the purpose of protecting and fostering the material interests of its people creates and keeps in operation an expensive judicial system, it is difficult to understand why it would be unwise to create an organization having for its object the protection of their lives and health, even though it should cost ten times the amount proposed to be appropriated by this bill.
The English statesman Disraeli has said, "The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their power as a state depends. The health of the people, in my opinion, therefore, is the first duty of a statesman; and I am convinced there is no object of higher importance to engage the attention of society."
It seems to me to be sufficient answer to the question, should the work be undertaken under the authority of the State? that such work never has, never will and never can be prosecuted with any considerable degree of success by any other authority. The General Assembly has ever been ready to provide, and the people to sustain them in such provisions for those unfortunates, who are simply burdans upon society; and so there has been reared in sight of the builning we now occupy vast piles that are monuments to the spirit of benevolence and charity that pervades our great State. But does it speak well for the intelligence and business sense of the Legislative Department of the State that she is so far behind in all those efforts to protect life and health, and prevent the occurence of those calamities that increase each year the number required to be cared for by the public charities of the State, and of the Counties of the State?
Is it logical, let me ask, that laws should remain upon our statute books for the encouragement of emigration, or that we should further enact such laws when we fail to properly care for and protect our own citizens, and children who are "to the manor born?"
I can not bring myself to believe that any Senator upon this floor, when he comes to consider the subject in the light of the knowledge of the year 1881, will require argument to convince him that the necessity exists for the enactment of some such law as that proposed by this bill for the protection of life and health.
The report of the Committee was concurred in, the bill considered as engrossed and passed by yeas, 36; nays, 3.
On motion by Mr. BELL, his bill [S. 187], making the Township Trustee of each civil Towhship Superintendent of Roads, and fixing a commutation road tax in lieu of road labor, was taken up, it being a special order set to follow the bill just disposed of. After it was read the second time, he said it was a complete remodeling of the laws of the road laws of the State. It has been a quarter of a century since the substantial features of our road law were enacted. He cared not so much for the form, but desired it got in the proper shape to meet the wants of the times, and believed no more important matter can command the attention of the Senate.
Mr. KRAMER said: The Trustee is not the proper person to levy a road tax in incorporated towns.
Mr. GARRIGUS offered an amendment to do away with that objection by striking out the first three lines of Section 3.
Mr. MACARTNEY opposed the amendment.
Mr. URMSTON thought the amendment all right.
The amendment was agreed to.
On motion by Mr. CHAPMAN, the Committee on Prisons had leave of absence in order to visit the Penitentiary North.
Leaves of absence were asked and obtained for about a dozen Senators, and it was ordered that when the Senate adjourn it adjourns till Monday at 2 o'clock p. m.
And then the Senate adjourned

Women Physicians Section (WPS)
2013 AMA-WPS Interim Meeting
The inaugural business meeting of the AMA Women Physicians Section (WPS), held on November 16 in National Harbor, was very productive. During the session, Ardis Dee Hoven, MD, AMA President, provided an update on the adoption of the World Medical Association policy on the HPV vaccine. The AMA-WPS was a part of the working group that contributed to the development of this policy. In addition to updating the AMA-WPS on this important policy work, she congratulated the AMA-WPS on their new section. Other current and past AMA leaders, including the first woman to serve as AMA President, Nancy Dickey, MD, shared memories of the Women Physicians Congress and provided insights on the future of the WPS. The AMA-WPS also honored physician mentors through its annual physician recognition program.
The business meeting concluded with a review of the AMA-HOD Handbook and AMA-WPS items of business. Resolution 1, Tubal Ligation and Vasectomy Consents, co-sponsored by the AMA-WPS and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and CCB Report 2, AMA Women Physicians Section - Additional Bylaws, were both adopted by the AMA House of Delegates.
Finally, the AMA Women Physicians Section (WPS) hosted an education session, "Women Utilizing Their Political Capital to Improve Health," presented by Nan Hayworth, MD, former US Congresswoman from New York.

So I've been deadlifting for little over a year now and depending on the routine i see different rest periods. So far what seems to work best for me resting from 5-10 minutes even up to 15 when going heavy deadlift. What i have noticed is that I get the most gains when i hit fewer reps, higher weight, longer rest.
Now is this because im still relatively new to deadlift or making sure you rest properly between sets the way to really boost your deadlift?
The rest of my back lifts i dont need to rest as much (i.e. bent over row, pull down, pull up, seated row etc).
Some advice for this newbie?

But something happened just a little while ago that is too beautiful not to share. We learned that Amanda signed her relinquishment papers and has checked out of the hospital. The doctor says we can take baby Kilian home (well, to my aunt and uncle's home) in just a few hours. Amanda is returning home having given everything. She takes no infant home with her. No car seat or pack of diapers. But tonight Patrick and I will leave this hospital abundantly blessed, with gifts greater than we deserve.

I am tearing up reading this. What a beautiful gift you all have been given. Although God (although not without struggle) has blessed us with biological children, I have always wanted to adopt but have had my hesitations. Your family and your story always give me the encouragement that when the time is right, we will be able to welcome a child into our family through adoption. God bless you all and Amanda.

Korg M500 Micro-Preset
The Korg Micro Preset synthesizer is a curious late 1970s beast with a slightly bizarre matrix of pre-set sounds, including laughable woodwind and similar noises and a low-quality keyboard all housed in a wooden box! It's a 32-note monophonic preset synthesizer with 6 push-button presets including voice, synth1, synth2, brass, string, and wood. Its single-oscillator design has only rudimentary decay/release envelope controls and no access to the guts of the sound generation stuff. Perhaps it was aimed at the beginners market.
Once you're over the outward appearance, a bit of probing will reveal a noise box that sounds remarkably similar to the MS-10 at times. There is a lot of fun to be had with the 'traveller' control, a sort of filter and resonance control rolled into one, offering interesting squelchy acid-style bass run effects. In fact, like the MS-10, bass is about all you'll get out of this oddity in terms of useful noises. But overall this is a bit of a novelty synth, and is not especially playable nor distinctive - apart from its looks! There are absolutely no MIDI, CV nor similar inputs so you can forget about any of that. Add N To (X), The Human League, OMD, Jean Michel Jarre, OMD, Pop Will Eat Itself and Brian Eno are thought to have used the Micro Preset.
Time for a new VSE review & reviewer - one star is just plain WRONG.

Insulin Pump Cost
What are the drawbacks?
By Gary Scheiner, MS CDE
Making an educated decision about pump therapy means that you should be aware of the potential drawbacks associated with its use.
- Cost — Insulin pumps and disposable pump supplies (infusion sets, cartridges, batteries) cost far more than conventional syringes. However, insurance companies have come to realize that insulin pump use can result in fewer health problems. As a result, most insurance companies now cover most or all of the cost of pumps and supplies.
- Adjustment Period — Just as it took some time to get your blood sugars regulated when you first started on insulin injections, it will take some time to get regulated on the pump. Expect at least a few weeks of "ups and downs" as you and your health team work together to establish proper basal rates and bolus formulas.
- Inconvenience — While insulin pump therapy does allow greater lifestyle flexibility, wearing the pump around the clock can be inconvenient at times. The pump must be worn while you sleep, work, and play in order to provide a continuous flow of insulin. However, the "beeper-like" size of the pump, availability of convenient clips and carry-cases, extra strong/durable tubing (difficult to damage or pull out), and "quick disconnect" mechanism make wearing the pump easier than it might seem.
- Technical Difficulties — As with any mechanical device, there are bound to be technical problems from time to time. Although today's pumps are far more safe and efficient than in years past, there remains the possibility of occasional infusion set clogs, computer chip glitches, and damage due to typical wear and tear. Luckily, new durable materials, warning alarms, and safety features minimize these types of problems and guarantee against accidental insulin delivery.
- Skin Problems — One of the most common problems associated with insulin pump use involves skin irritation. Today's infusion sets feature hypo-allergenic adhesives that truly minimize skin irritation, but those with very sensitive skin may still experience itching, rashes, or inflammation. A variety of alternative tapes are available for those who need them. Skin infections are another potential problem. Typically, skin infections will not occur as long as the skin is cleansed well prior to needle insertion and the infusion set is changed on a regular basis.
- Ketosis — Ketones are potentially harmful chemicals produced in large amounts when cells are not able to burn sugar for energy, usually due to an insufficiency of insulin. If not treated quickly, mild ketosis can become DKA (diabetic ketoacidosis), a life-threatening condition that requires emergency treatment at a hospital. Because there is no long-acting insulin with pump use, any interruption in insulin delivery (due to an infusion set problem, for example) for more than a few hours can lead to ketosis. For this reason, pump users must check their blood sugar level several times a day, and should test their urine for ketones with any abnormally high blood glucose readings or when sick. The presence of ketones in the blood or urine usually means that the pump is not delivering insulin properly. All insulin pump users should be trained on how to respond to ketosis in order to prevent DKA.
- Sports — Wearing an insulin pump during daily recreational activities can present a challenge. Some people feel uncomfortable or inhibited while wearing the pump and choose to simply disconnect for short intervals. Some even feel uncomfortable about having the small infusion set attached to their skin. The ability to quickly disconnect and re-connect has made pump use much more convenient, but issues of vanity, personal appearance, or the practicality of doing physical activities with a pump (like sliding into home base during a game of baseball) may still be a consideration.

Sorry, this item is no longer available!
- Opaque mini cable texture

Great feel but too long
Very smooth and silky-soft! These feel great to wear with dress/skirt and even pants BUT a little 'extra' material in the hip-flexor area so if you have a short torso, beware! You'll have to roll-em-up at the top or they will bunch-up around the panty-line.

Love these tights!
I love the design and fit of these tights. They have a really nice pattern on it and keep me warm. Love the way they feel. Definitely recommend!

Love it!
Was looking for tights for the winter, and bought a pair of these. I absolutely love them. They're soft, silky and stretchy (I'm between a small and medium so these were perfect). I liked them so much I sent my hubby to get another pair for me
