text: The ICANN Accreditation of bNamed is a fact since September 2009. We were the first ICANN Accredited Registrar in Belgium. This accreditation is a recognition of ICANN for bNamed. Through this recognition ICANN confirms that, after a full review of bNamed, they have confirmed they find us a reliable registrar who has sufficient knowledge and expertise to provide gTLDs directly. Thanks to this accreditation, we don't need to work through an intermediary anymore to offer the generic extensions (gTLD's) such as .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, .tel, .jobs,… bNamed can now offer those gTLD's directly, which obviously boosts our flexibility. We can decide ourselves which information for those general extensions is shown in the Whois, which is especially important for our resellers. This way their own name will appear in the Whois, not the name of their registrar. Moreover, we're able to decide what transfer mails will look like and we can allow transfers via both Dutch and French fax paperwork.

When wondering how the US Postal Service could find itself in a $7 billion hole, perhaps decisions like this might explain it. Court documents in a fraud probe involving doping allegations in Lance Armstrong's cycling team show that the USPS paid almost $32 million for a four-year sponsorship from 2001-2004:
The U.S Postal Service spent $31.9 million to underwrite Lance Armstrong's pro cycling team during its glory years of 2001 to 2004, approximately 60 to 65 percent of the team's total budget, according to documents newly obtained from the agency under the federal Freedom of Information Act.
The materials provide the first clear look at how heavily the agency invested in Armstrong and reveal the exact dollar amounts at issue should Armstrong and former team officials be charged with fraudulent use of government funds at the conclusion of an ongoing federal investigation.
Until now, the USPS has gone to great lengths to keep the precise amount it spent on Armstrong a secret. In 2003, the agency's Office of the Inspector General issued an audit report that was highly critical of the deal but blacked-out specific sponsorship amounts.
As recently as last summer, when a federal grand jury in Los Angeles began hearing testimony from ex-members of Armstrong's team, Postal Service officials continued to be tight-lipped about their sponsorship, responding to a Freedom of Information Act request by The File with heavily redacted documents.
To give a perspective on the endorsement deal, GM paid Tiger Woods $40 million to sponsor Buick over a five-year span that ended in 2009. Woods played almost every week all year in nationally-televised golf events, while Armstrong's team had one event a year of interest to USPS customers — the Tour de France. Staples pays around $6 million a year for naming rights to its arena in Los Angeles where the Lakers, Kings, Clippers, and Sparks play. Qualcomm pays $900,000 per year for naming rights to the stadium that hosts the San Diego Padres and the Chargers, which puts their name in play year-round [see update]. The Mall of America bought the naming rights for the Metrodome in 2009, which you'd be able to see — if the roof hadn't collapsed last month.
Now, though, USPS' sponsorship will play a key role in determining whether Armstrong's team, Tailwind Sports, fraudulently used government funds while running a doping scheme to win championships. One of Armstrong's teammates, Floyd Landis, apparently blew the whistle to the feds on doping, although everyone connected with Tailwind denies it. Landis, who was caught doping, may end up getting a windfall if the government can prove fraud; whistleblowers are entitled to up to a third of the trebled damages that come from these types of convictions.
Even apart from the fraud allegations, the fact that USPS shelled out $32 million for this endorsement over four years seems like a good point on which to question the other decisions being made by USPS management. If Tailwind turns out to be utterly clean, they still managed to find a sucker.
Update: One of my readers, great commenters, and friends from the CapQ days, Joe Behm, reminds me that the Padres now play in Petco Park. Joe runs a company called Behmor, which makes coffee bean roasters; if you're a coffee aficionado, you should check it out.

16:00:46 phoe_ Xach: mfiano attempted to access it.
16:01:11 XachX I have submitted renewal with my registrar.
16:15:39 mfiano yeah, i had thought it is where i found a particular article, but it turned out to be one of the other domains.
16:17:26 mfiano XachX: also, i request that sly follow up article, or at an idea of where you are now :)
16:30:34 Xach I want to follow up for sure
17:15:03 shka_ good evening all
17:20:41 emaczen can we use CFFI with C++ libraries?
17:23:07 shka_ emaczen: symbol mangling
17:23:18 shka_ you will need bridge with extern
17:24:00 emaczen shka_: well not for someone who doesn't want to get into that!
17:24:20 shka_ I agree
17:24:53 shka_ you may perhaps try to use some generator like SWIG, but no idea how hard or easy this will be
17:25:34 emaczen shka_: it's just that the C API I am trying to use has been deprecated
17:25:59 emaczen I'm pretty sure I have a starting point now
17:26:22 emaczen I'm just going to start parsing a JFIF file
17:26:31 emaczen I'm sure I'll learn enough about it to get what I want
18:03:15 emaczen what happends if you don't defcstruct correctly?
18:03:46 emaczen I think i'm getting a bunch of junk back from #'cffi:foreign-slot-value
18:09:30 Bike you mean if your provided definition is inconsistent with the actual C one?
18:11:28 fe[nl]ix emaczen: it happens that the code will dereference incorrect parts of the struct
18:11:33 fe[nl]ix same as in C
18:14:52 emaczen fe[nl]ix: I was getting strange integers and am pretty sure I didn't do it correctly then
18:15:18 emaczen I'm going to instead try writing it to a file and then reading it from lisp
18:27:29 phoe_ emaczen: or try fixing up your defstruct
18:28:28 emaczen phoe_: I don't like the idea of writing to a file and then reading from it, but maybe it is fast enough
18:28:52 emaczen phoe_: Maybe I can just get it to work for now you know?
18:29:06 emaczen this type of work isn't usually what I do...
18:34:27 _death could use shared memory, or zeromq
18:38:06 emaczen _death: can you elaborate on how to use shared memory here?
18:39:05 _death if you're using linux, mmap/shmem
18:39:16 _death erm, shmget
18:42:46 emaczen _death: is the idea that I can still write code in terms of files but it will still use RAM?
18:44:55 _death that's not shared memory, but you can also do that using a tmpfs mount (e.g., /tmp or /var/tmp on some distributions)
18:45:20 _death it will still require copying data
18:47:23 iqubic How do one make a function that does different things when given a int vs a double?
18:47:45 emaczen defmethod specialized on which type you want
18:47:47 iqubic Do I have to use generic methods and specializations?
18:47:55 Bike generic functions, yes
18:47:58 _death iqubic: you can use typecase
18:48:05 Bike assuming you mean integer and double-float
18:48:17 emaczen (defmethod function-name ((param double)) function-body)
18:48:18 _death iqubic: or typep, integerp, etc.
18:49:14 iqubic I see.
19:05:07 emaczen how would you serve a video stream consisting of jpeg images with hunchentoot?
19:08:22 Bike ...is that a thing? jpeg video?
19:08:35 _death mjpeg?
19:08:41 Bike M-JPEG, i see
19:08:56 phoe_ tell hunchentoot to output whatever proper HTTP headers it should output, give me the socket stream, and just (loop for jpeg in jpegs do (print-sequence jpeg stream))
19:08:57 emaczen from what I understand, mjpeg is just a sequence of jpeg images
19:10:49 Bike https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_JPEG#M-JPEG_over_HTTP mhm don't understand this
19:15:59 emaczen http://paste.lisp.org/display/358425 -- that is my understanding
19:17:02 _death never tried streaming it.. best to look at ffmpeg or something
19:18:17 emaczen _death: do you have any hunchentoot examples?
19:21:24 _death of what?
19:21:44 emaczen ffmpeg?
19:22:14 _death no.. I mean ffmpeg has a server (ffserver) that can stream mjpeg..
20:57:32 jmercouris can someone explain to me the message in the topic: the #1=(programmable . #1#) programming language
20:57:39 jmercouris what does #1= mean?
20:57:46 shka_ :-)
20:58:07 _death clhs #=
20:58:07 specbot http://www.lispworks.com/reference/HyperSpec/Body/02_dho.htm
20:58:54 jmercouris so that's like reader assignment?
20:59:20 phoe_ yes, that's instructing the reader that it should preserve identity.
20:59:39 _death it's reader syntax for "labeling" an object, which you can then refer to using #n#
20:59:40 pjb #1=(programmable . #1#) === #1=(programmable . (programmable . #1#)) === (programmable programmable . #1#) === (programmable programmable programmable . #1#)…
20:59:51 phoe_ in (#1=(a . b) (a . b) #1#), the result is an alist that looks like ((a . b) (a . b) (a . b))
20:59:56 phoe_ but the first and the third cons are EQ
21:00:04 phoe_ where the first and second most likely are not
21:01:09 jmercouris I see, I think I got it
21:01:34 jmercouris the thing I'm missing is you saying "first and third cons are EQ"
21:01:35 jmercouris what do you mean? they are the same address in memory?
21:01:40 phoe_ yes, they're one and the same object
21:01:54 phoe_ they're the same object referenced from two different places in the list
21:01:59 jmercouris yes, I gotcha
21:02:30 jmercouris So the joke is that lisp is the #1 programmable language because it can be programmed?
21:02:37 phoe_ equivalent to (let ((x (cons 'a 'b)) (y (cons 'a 'b))) (list x y x))
21:02:40 jmercouris and its using lisp syntax to say that?
21:02:51 phoe_ jmercouris: it's not a joke, it's reality (:
21:03:09 jmercouris phoe_: sure, GNUS is also not a joke, but it's kinda a joke, you know what I mean?
21:03:13 phoe_ and it's circularly programmable
21:03:28 phoe_ you can program the language and then you can program the programming of the language
21:03:33 _death try (progn (setf *print-length* 10) '#1=(programmable . #1#))
21:03:35 phoe_ until you reach turtles
21:03:43 jmercouris phoe_: all the way down
21:03:57 Shinmera I feel like explaining the topic is kind of ruining the beauty of it. It was a genuinely nice surprise when I realised what it meant on my own as I learned lisp.
21:04:26 jmercouris Shinmera: I still think it's pretty cool, I just didn't know that syntax, didn't really ruin anything for me
21:05:10 pjb Rather, try: (loop with *print-circle* = nil for *print-length* from 1 to 10 do (print '#1=(programmable . #1#)))
21:05:20 Bike "wow, spoilers"
21:05:42 pjb _death: *print-length* is useless in your case if you have *print-circle* true! (which you should have in your rc file by default).
21:06:28 _death pjb: no, I keep it at nil, because I don't usually want #n# shown for simple shared structure
21:07:25 _death on the other hand, a moderate bound on print-length may be a good idea (I thought about it before, but didn't get a chance to try)
21:10:10 jmercouris Shinmera: with so many projects, how do you keep them clear in your head? how do you remember what you were working on last in a given project?
21:10:58 Shinmera jmercouris: Usually I don't, because I finish them so I don't have to work on them any more aside from bug fixes.
21:20:23 Shinmera For those that are too large to finish quickly I just organise code very clearly and keep ideas recorded in issues or on my trello.
21:20:45 jmercouris Trello? Interesting, do you use emacs?
21:21:01 Shinmera I do use Emacs, but not for Trello, if that's what you're asking.
21:21:22 jmercouris I'm just thinking that org might be a better alternative
21:21:34 Shinmera I've tried to get into Org and just couldn't.
21:21:44 jmercouris hmm yeah, well it is not for everyone
21:21:56 jmercouris I think a lot of people their first experience is a bit overwhelming with org
21:22:10 Shinmera I've given it multiple shots but it just doesn't please me I guess.
21:22:21 jmercouris There's so many configuration possibilities, and you can infinitely tweak your config, but actually is not a good way to start imo
21:22:43 KongWubba whats org?
21:22:59 jmercouris KongWubba: http://orgmode.org
21:23:19 KongWubba thx!
21:23:37 _death I use org-capture a lot
21:24:30 jasom someone tell me what I'm doing wrong: (extern-alien "write" (function long (* void) long))
21:25:56 _death long?
21:27:22 jasom google tells me it should be (* t) rather than (* void)
21:29:00 _death yeah
21:30:07 _death think (extern-alien "write" (function int (* t) long))
21:32:19 Cthulhux is cl-notify superseded by anything or is it just "dead"?
21:34:05 jasom _death: yeah
21:34:55 _death Cthulhux: maybe my dbus lib can help
21:35:33 Cthulhux ACTION would prefer a low-dependency thing, but dbus seems to be unavoidable
21:36:05 Shinmera libnotify doesn't exactly have few dependencies.
21:36:53 Cthulhux libnotify seems to be the consensus about how to display notification toasts on linux
21:36:57 Cthulhux :(
21:37:22 Cthulhux or is there a non-libnotify library for that?
21:37:53 Shinmera You could use a tray icon, I guess.
21:38:13 Cthulhux not on WMs without a tray.
21:38:30 Shinmera Sure, and you can't display toasts on a WM without a notification handler (even more common)
21:38:37 Cthulhux good point
21:38:52 _death one reason I no longer using my dbus lib ;)
21:39:37 Shinmera You could do your own thingy to display notifications with simple frameless windows.
21:39:44 Shinmera Only way to "be sure".
21:40:25 Shinmera If you're using Qtools, QUI has that ready for you :) https://github.com/Shinmera/qtools-ui/blob/master/notification.lisp
21:41:26 Cthulhux ah, qtools. i was considering.. :) (so much about "low dependencies")
21:41:49 Shinmera Haha, yeah. Won't get low deps with Qt. At least deployment is handled for you and mostly "just works" from my own tests.
21:42:22 Cthulhux really? is qt5 ported yet?
21:42:29 Shinmera No
21:42:31 jmercouris Cthulhux: no, and don't count on it
21:42:34 Cthulhux :(
21:42:38 jmercouris If you want to use QT5, use EQL5
21:43:23 Cthulhux qt4 is dying a slow death
21:43:33 jmercouris Cthulhux: I wouldn't call it slow :D
21:43:40 jmercouris We're already on qt 5.11
21:43:43 Shinmera Won't be dead for me for as long as Qt5 isn't ported.
21:43:44 Cthulhux in computing terms..
21:48:34 jmercouris Cthulhux: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SWX53DCt47o
21:48:46 Cthulhux LOL
21:49:05 Cthulhux that whois magic though
21:49:28 jmercouris Yeah
22:29:11 jmercouris if anyone needs help with CCL cocoa, I was able to get it working
22:29:35 jmercouris I'm not like an expert or anything, but I can help with configuration
22:45:45 emaczen how do we access errno with CFFI?
23:09:38 pjb emaczen: write a function in C to return it, and call it from CFFI.
23:10:14 pjb emaczen: errno is not a variable. It may be a macro expanding to some complex expression, like, accessing some thread specific attribute.
0:20:32 jasom ACTION thinks CFFI should provide that personally
0:25:17 astronavt[m] jmercouris me me me
0:26:33 astronavt[m] i could never get it working. nothing ever was displayed
0:51:59 jasom ultra fast "yes" implementation in under 140 characters: https://www.reddit.com/r/lisp/comments/75wla9/writing_a_fast_yes_program_that_can_fit_in_a_tweet/doa6gut/

1:59:35 jmercouris How can I create a logical pathname from ~/Folder/Subfolder
1:59:48 jmercouris I know how to do "home:Folder", but "home:Folder:Subfolder" doesn't work
2:07:50 jmercouris nvm, figured out translate logical pathname is implementation dependent
2:07:53 jmercouris interesting
2:11:01 jmercouris any reason why I have such difficulty deleting "|" (pipe) characters in paredit
2:28:08 Oladon1 ** NICK Oladon
2:35:19 iqubic What issues are you running into jmercouris?
2:37:15 pillton jmercouris: Be aware that the standard requires logical pathnames to be all uppercase.
2:37:22 pillton clhs 19.3.1
2:37:23 specbot Syntax of Logical Pathname Namestrings: http://www.lispworks.com/reference/HyperSpec/Body/19_ca.htm
2:39:09 pillton You are better off using functions to generate pathnames.
2:59:49 jmercouris pillton: I found it such an obtuse syntax, but I didn't want to change the code that was using it
2:59:58 jmercouris so I ended up making a new path
3:04:53 pillton It is my understanding that it was defined at a time when there where no clear "winners" in terms of pathname syntax or file system functionality.
3:11:27 beach Good morning everyone!
3:11:32 pillton G'day beach.
3:11:33 loke Hello beach!
3:17:42 emaczen morning beach
3:20:26 emaczen pjb: how do we get errno?
3:21:45 jmercouris pillton: yeah that's what I've read as well
3:21:52 jmercouris at least it is OS agnostic
3:21:57 emaczen pjb: Ok, I understand what you said now
3:22:09 emaczen I'm talking to myself practically ha
3:22:52 jmercouris iqubic: I was having trouble just extending the path, the syntax totally threw me off, that's all
3:23:34 iqubic But you were having trouble deleting "|" in emacs too, right?

Adults need to get shots (vaccines) just like kids do. Make sure you are up to date on your shots.
Ask your doctor or nurse if there are any other shots you need to stay healthy.
Shots (vaccines) help protect you against diseases that can be serious and sometimes deadly. Many of these diseases are common.
Even if you got all your shots as a child, you still need shots as an adult. The protection from some shots can wear off over time. Also, as you get older, you may be at risk for other illnesses, like shingles.
Getting shots doesn't just protect you – it also protects the people around you. Some people in your family or community may not be able to get certain vaccines because of their age or health condition.
Protect yourself and those around you by staying up to date on your shots. Find out how getting your shots helps protect people in your community.
Learn more about some of the recommended shots for adults by watching these short videos:
Watch this short video on pneumococcal ("noo-muh-KOK-uhl") vaccines.
You may need other shots if you:
Ask your doctor or nurse if you need any other shots. Or you can take this quiz to find out which shots you may need.
Talk with a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist about getting up to date on your shots.
Take this quiz to find out which shots you may need. Print out the results and take them with you to your next checkup. Make a plan with your doctor or nurse to get the shots you need. You may also be able to get shots at your local pharmacy.
Use this vaccine clinic locator to find out where you can get important shots.
Remember, everyone age 6 months and older needs to get the seasonal flu vaccine every year.
Under the Affordable Care Act, the health care reform law passed in 2010, most private insurance plans must cover recommended shots for adults. Depending on your insurance, you may be able to get your shots at no cost to you. Talk to your insurance company to learn more.
If you don't have insurance, you still may be able to get free shots.
Ask your doctor to print out a record of all the shots you've had. Keep this record in a safe place. You may need it for certain jobs or if you travel outside the United States.
If you aren't sure which shots you've had, try these tips for finding old vaccination records. If you still can't find a record of your shots, talk with your doctor about getting some shots again.

I noticed that the Juiceman 2 has a 690 watt motor and the Ultramatic has a 450 watt. Would the Ultramatic tend to lug down more under a load than the Juiceman? They are both rated at 1/2 h.p.
Wattage is the amount of power the motor consumes. Horsepower is the amount of "power" or work that the motor can produce. To make a motor cheaper and keep the same work capacity, a company will be less rigorous in the motor construction yielding a less efficient motor.

The following is prepared testimony from Robert Borosage delivered today to the Congressional Progressive Caucus's Hearing on Jobs
I thank the Congressional Progressive Caucus for holding this hearing. I am honored by the invitation to participate. I want to the salute the CPC, and its co-chairs Rep. Keith Ellison and Rep. Raul Grijalva, for being a voice of reason in a Congress and a Capitol that has lost its way. Your leadership – from the People's Budget, to this summer remarkable Jobs Tour, to the "Rebuild the American Dream" Jobs Framework that you have championed – has provided Americans with a clear way out of the mess that we are in. And now, as we head towards what is a foolish debate about the potential recommendations of the Super Committee, that misbegotten offspring of the calamitous debt ceiling deal this summer, your leadership and your voice are more important than ever.
Today, I want to speak candidly about the situation this nation faces. Tomorrow, tens of thousands of Americans across this country will demonstrate to demand jobs, not cuts, from the Congress. They demand action on jobs, and opposition to cuts in Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and services vital to Americans. These demonstrators represent the 99%. As poll after poll has shown, they give voice to the priorities of the vast majorities of Americans. Authorities can remove Occupy Wall Street from Liberty Park, but they cannot silence an idea whose time has come. And this Congress should take heed.
Let me lay out the case clearly and make three points. 1. For this nation to succeed, the Super Committee must fail. 2. It is time to put people to work. 3. Shared Sacrifice is for suckers.
1. The Super Committee Must Fail
If a drunken bus driver were careening down the wrong road that leads directly off a steep cliff, we would want him to fail to get where he is going. That is exactly the case with the Super Committee. They are headed down the wrong road and it will be ruinous if they succeed in getting where they are going.
This is a nation with 26 million people in need of full-time work. Wages are not keeping up with prices. Poverty, now at record levels, is spreading. One in five homes with a mortgage is underwater. Companies are sitting on trillions in profits waiting for customers. Over the past eleven years, we have added 30 million more people and lost 1.8 million private sector jobs.
And next year, an economy that is barely growing will be hit with severe shocks. The boost provided by recovery act spending will come to an end. If unemployment insurance and the payroll tax cut are also not renewed, JPMorgan Chase analysts project that will cut growth by 1.5 to 2%. More and more mortgages in arrears will face foreclosure, with ruinous effect on their neighbors. Even if the Euro somehow survives, Europe is headed back into recession, with knock-off effects on our exposed banks and investment houses and on export markets.
We should be having a fierce argument about how to put people to work and get this economy going. Republicans should be demanding tax cuts, Democrats public investment and jobs programs. Instead the Super Committee is peddling austerity, pushing Republicans to accept tax hikes (or at least pretend to accept them) and Democrats to embrace cuts in Social Security and Medicare. This is grand folly.
The best deficit reduction plan is to put people back to work. In fact, America does not have a short-term debt problem. If we have a recovery, then our deficits will come down to manageable levels by the end of the decade. If we don't have a recovery, then austerity will simply make things worse – forcing more workers onto food stamps and unemployment insurance, and lowering revenues.
We see the effects of austerity in Europe. The European Commission now predicts that Europe's economy will "stagnate well into 2012" and threatens a "deep and prolonged recession." In Greece, severe budget cuts have combined with economic recession to constrict GDP by 5.5% this year, with unemployment soaring. In Portugal, austerity cuts led the government to project the economy will shrink there by 5%. And, as Sprach Analyst and other global economic firms note, "the slower the growth, the harder the European debt crisis will be to resolve. Government austerity is actually making matters worse."
We need a sizable, sustained and serious jobs program now. And we cannot turn to austerity, to getting our books in order, until we put people back to work. If the Super Committee were to be useful, it would report out – with its expedited voting powers – a bold and sustained jobs proposal, combining increases in spending – on infrastructure, on direct public jobs programs, on aid to states and localities, on mortgage relief for homeowners – with cuts in taxes to enlist Republicans. It would then make the trigger for any turn to austerity not an arbitrary date, but when Americans are going back to work, and unemployment is down to 4 or 5%.
Instead what we have is Washington's version of an old Steve Martin routine. "I can tell you," he used to say, "how to make a million dollars and not pay taxes. First, assume a million dollars, then don't pay taxes." The Super Committee says it can tell us how to recover and reduce deficits without paying much in taxes. First, assume a recovery.
But we can't assume a recovery that is not taking place. First, stop going down a road that leads over a cliff. And start putting people to work.
2. Put People To Work
We know how to put people to work in a recession. The CPC "Rebuild the American Dream" Jobs Framework details the basic elements. The People's Budget shows that the country can afford to do it – indeed can't afford not to do it. Let me focus on a couple of elements of this agenda.
First, it is bizarre that those who claim we should let markets rule then choose to ignore what markets are saying. We will never have a better opportunity to rebuild America than we have right now. The need to renovate America's decrepit and outmoded infrastructure is apparent. It is now dangerous to our lives and costly to our economy. Across the country, the construction industry is idle, with millions of skilled and unskilled workers ready to work. Work to be done and people to do it. And at this moment, investors across the world are, in essence, paying the US to allow them to store their money in our bonds. They are paying us to borrow money from them. Anyone with any business sense would jump at this alternative. We should be borrowing money, essentially for free, in large amounts to rebuild this country and put people to work.
Second, youth unemployment in this country for those aged 16-19 is at the same level it was in Egypt when the Arab Spring erupted. For the first time in half century, a majority of young people from 16-24 is not working. We have a generation of veterans returning from wars, students graduating from high school that can't find jobs. This crushes hopes and destroys self-confidence. We're witnessing 18 suicide attempts among veterans a day. No nation can afford to write off a generation. We should make government the employer of last resort for every person under 25. Create urban and green corps; subsidize small businesses and non-profits to put people to work. Let's have this debate across the country.
Third, the other elements of the CPC Jobs Framework – a manufacturing strategy based on making it America, transforming our trade and industrial policies, a commitment to taking a lead in the green industrial revolution that is sweeping the world, an investment agenda in education and training to insure that our people are the best trained in the world – are vital to building a new foundation for growth and shared prosperity. The stark reality is that we can't go back to the old economy and should not want to. That economy was not working for most Americans. The top 1% captured all of the rewards of growth over the last decade, while the typical household lost ground. It was built on bubbles and debt and unsustainable trade imbalances. I salute the CPC for demanding a new strategy for growth, not simply a short-term stimulus that cannot work.
3. Shared Sacrifice is for Suckers
Once the economy recovers and people go back to work, it will then be time to face our long-term debt challenge, and get our accounts in order. Here too, however, the Super Committee is headed down the wrong road.
Republicans have argued that we should balance our budget with spending cuts only – calling for dismantling Medicare, cutting Medicaid and Social Security, and exacting deep cuts in everything from education to child nutrition. Democrats have called for "shared sacrifice," offering to trade cuts in Medicare and Social Security for tax increases on the rich.
But, when the rewards of growth are not shared, shared sacrifice is for suckers. The reality is that we face a huge mess because Wall Street went on a wilding that blew up the economy. Most Americans weren't even invited to the party. Now under the banner of shared sacrifice, they are being asked to clean up the mess. Bull. Send the bill to those who had the party. And in fact, seniors and savers and homeowners are already paying a steep price for Wall Street's excesses, as the policies of the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve — focusing on propping up otherwise insolvent banks – has resulted in seniors getting low returns on their savings, homeowners getting no relief on their mortgages, and taxpayers paying the price of the economic ruin left by the banks.
To then suggest that the most vulnerable in the society "share in the sacrifice" or pay more to clean up the mess is an insult.
Worse, it gets our long-term debt problem wrong. We need to hike taxes on the wealthy and on Wall Street to help pay for the mess they created and to provide the funds, once people are back to work, to continue investing in America.
But our long-term debt problem is not a spending problem or a tax problem. It is the product of a broken health care system. We pay nearly twice per capita what the rest of the industrial world pays on health care, with worse results. If we paid simply the average per capita of the industrial world, we would project surpluses in our long-term projections.
Cutting Medicare — raising the eligibility age as some Democrats have proposed, dismantling it and turning into a voucher as Republicans have suggested — does nothing for the soaring costs of our health care system. It simply pushes more of those costs on to those least able to afford them — the elderly, the poor, the disabled.
The cure to our long-term budget problem is to get health care costs under control. That requires taking on the drug companies, the insurance companies and the private hospital complexes that drive prices. Obama's health care plan is a first step down that road. A public option and negotiating bulk savings on prescription drugs would save even more. The Veteran's Administration has modeled other savings, in electronic records and more. Medicare for all is where we will eventually end up.
But whatever the solution, no one should be confused about the problem. It isn't out of control spending. It isn't greedy seniors, generational warfare, or an "entitlements crisis." It is a broken health care system, a service that every other industrial country has handled better than we have. Don't ask the vulnerable to pay more of the out of control costs. Get the costs under control.
You can't get the right answer if you aren't asking the right question. At this point, the Super Committee is asking all the wrong questions, and coming up with all the wrong answers. I urge the Progressive Caucus members to do whatever they can to insure that it fails in its effort to drive this economy back over a cliff.

KaZoo MyPhones have built-in volume-limiting circuitry that keeps the sound pressure down to levels recommended as safe for young ears. Exposure to excessive levels of sound is more than a nuisance. It's a health issue, especially for children. KaZoo MyPhones use a built-in, always-on sound-control circuit to cap peak volume levels at 85 decibels. That's the maximum level recommended by many auditory health organizations in the U.S. and abroad. And, of course, KaZoo are kid-friendly with fun animal designs and durably constructed.
Animals and headphones that sound great? Sounds like fun! And now you can have a little of the zoo with you whenever you listen with KaZoo MyPhones!

Now You Can Dress Like a Mailperson: The U.S. Postal Service is Launching a Fashion Line
At last, the unattainable glamour of the mailman is within your sweaty grasp: the U.S. Postal Service announced Tuesday plans to release a fashion line for men. (Estimated delivery date for a women's line: unknown.)
The venture, which was a lot more fun when Project Runway did it (Season 1, Episode 8), will be called "Rain Heat & Snow"; a nod to the famous Postal Service creed: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds."
"Gloom of Night" sounds a little more haute couture than random weather words, but what do they know? They're not Carol Lagerfeld or Georgia Ramani, or any of those fashion people. They're just the Postal Service and this is a fun idea they had.
According to an official press release, the line will consist of "'smart apparel' also known as wearable electronics." Imagine a sweatshirt that is also an MP3 player with your nipples as the PLAY/STOP buttons, brought to you by the Postal Service. A pair of pants that is a Tamagotchi. A hat that you plug into your cellphone to charge your car. The Postal Service has got a great feeling about this. Like maybe selling clothing is what they were really meant to do.
The line will be financed by a Cleveland-based apparel company called Wahconah Group, Inc. CNN reports that the Postal Service won't have to pay to produce it (which is good, since they can't even afford to bring you a postcard on Saturdays), but will receive a small percentage of the profits. The clothes will be sold in "premier department and specialty stores."
USPS Corporate Licensing Manager Steven Mills sums up the unholy union of mailman and couturier and electronic whiz kid (very good with computers and fashions) thusly:
"This agreement will put the Postal Service on the cutting edge of functional fashion."
Right where it belongs.

Alaska's Largest Solar-Thermal System - a Model for Multiresidential Use
A version of this article appears in the May/June 2014 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
April 30, 2014
In the summer of 2007, Willie Karidis came into my office at the electric utility where I worked with a challenging problem that, with time, would get worse. Karidis was the executive director of the Denali Education Center (DEC), a nonprofit organization that houses guests visiting Denali National Park and Preserve during the peak tourist season in Alaska. DEC also houses employees who work there through the summer. This campus offers educational programs in Denali and supports park research. Besides housing and educating guests, DEC has meeting and eating facilities, offices, and an infrastructure for supplying heat and hot water for the residents. Karidis's challenge was to control the soaring costs of energy at the DEC campus by finding appropriate ways to reduce energy use.
