Ambassadors – Part 6
Ambassadors Part 6. You know the score by now, surely. Although I do think one thing bears repeating, our contributors that are picking their line, category, sub-category or era-specific ambassadors are not choosing one toy to represent the Transformers brand as a whole, or to turn a complete non-collector into a collector. Rather, they are choosing a toy from a particular area of Transformers to promote …

The Ones That Got Away
In a competitive market place, vintage toy collectors have to have their eyes and ears open the whole time in order to nail rare items. But we can't always be everywhere, all the time. Sometimes real life and circumstance mean that we miss key auctions, deals, emails and opportunities. Other times a lack of experience, funds or better judgement …

Comparing States' Unintended Pregnancy Rates Based on Abortion Stance
The Washington Post (The Fix blog): States that are more opposed to abortion rights have fewer abortions — but not fewer unintended pregnancies, by Aaron Blake:
Abortion in America is an extremely divisive issue, splitting Republicans and Democrats with often very strong feelings.
It also divides the states. In 2010, according to a new study from the Guttmacher Institute, an abortion rights group, an estimated 11 percent of all unintended pregnancies in South Dakota were aborted. In New York, it was 54 percent.
In general, Guttmacher's numbers show that states with more people who oppose abortion rights tend to have lower abortion rates. But views on abortion tend to have much less impact on something else related to all this: unintended pregnancies. . . .
The piece includes charts and interactive maps.

Rep. Tim Ryan Switches to Pro-Choice Camp
The New York Times (Taking Note blog): Tim Ryan's Switch on Abortion Rights, by Dorothy Samuels:
Representative Tim Ryan, an Ohio Democrat who previously opposed abortion rights, has officially changed sides. He's very welcome in the pro-choice camp. With reproductive freedom under attack in the Republican-led Congress and in G.O.P.-controlled state legislatures around the country, the embattled cause needs all the new supporters it can get. . . .

El Salvador Woman's 30-Year Sentence for Alleged Abortion Is Lifted
NPR: 30-Year Sentence Lifted For Woman In El Salvador Abortion Case, by Jason Beaubien:
Seven years ago, Carmen Guadalupe Vasquez Aldana went to jail in El Salvador. She was initially charged with abortion but prosecutors elevated the charge to aggravated homicide, arguing that the fetus was viable. Vasquez always contended that she did not have an abortion but had lost her unborn son due to medical complications late in the pregnancy.
On Wednesday, El Salvador's Legislative Assembly approved a recommendation by the country's high court that Vasquez be exonerated. That's a remarkable turn of events in a country with one of the strongest anti-abortion laws in the world. Even when the health of the mother is at risk, abortion is illegal. . . .

Fourth and Fifth Circuits Confront Abortion Exceptionalism
JURIST (commentary): Fourth and Fifth Circuits Confront Abortion Exceptionalism, by Caitlin Borgmann:
Federal Courts of Appeals have recently addressed two important abortion cases, either of which could end up before US Supreme Court. Last week, the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heardoral arguments on the merits of a Texas law that requires abortion facilities to meet hospital-like building and construction standards. The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit issued a decision[PDF] in late December striking down a North Carolina pre-abortion ultrasound law that requires abortion providers to perform a sonogram before an abortion and to display and describe it to the woman. Each case is important for abortion rights in different ways, but a common theme the cases raise is the question of abortion exceptionalism: whether courts should treat abortion as an exceptional case when states purport to regulate it for health and safety reasons (in the Texas case) or when state restrictions encroach on the right against compelled speech (in the North Carolina case) . . . .

6 Facts About Abortion
Vox: 6 very basic facts about abortion in America, by Sarah Kliff:
Forty-two years ago today, the Supreme Court issued its landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which legalized a woman's right to abortion. Ever since, America has debated and grappled with how to regulate a woman's right to choose. These graphs and charts help provide some context of how abortion access has changed in the United States since Roe, and how America's position on the issue has evolved over four decades. . . .

House Passes Bill Banning Federal Funding for Abortions
The Wall Street Journal: House Passes Bill Prohibiting Federal Funds Being Used for Abortions, by Kristina Peterson & Louise Radnofsky:
Some female Republican and centrist lawmakers helped scuttle a vote on a controversial measure to ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy, prompting the House on Thursday to pass a separate, largely symbolic bill that would further restrict federal funding to pay for abortions. . . .
The bill approved Thursday, which would ban the use of federal funds to pay for abortions or health-insurance plans that cover abortion, passed 242-179. There are already bans in place on using most federal funds for abortion. One Republican, Rep. Richard Hanna of New York, voted against the bill.
The White House said President Barack Obama would likely veto it. . . .

Did GOP Trade "Short-Term Pain" for "Long-Term Gain" by Foregoing Vote on Abortion Ban?
The Washington Post - The Fix (blog): How Republicans won by losing on an abortion vote, by Chris Cillizza:
For the last several years, congressional Republicans have pursued what can be described as a short-term gain, long-term pain strategy. That is, the GOP-led House has championed, passed or, just as often, not passed legislation that pleases its base and the group of three dozen or so of its members who stake out the furthest territory on the right of ideological spectrum. That's been a fine thing for those members, most of whom sit in districts in which the only threat of losing comes in a primary, but it has been far more problematic for the overall brand of the party as it tries to recapture the White House in 2016. Think immigration reform.
On Wednesday, House Republicans -- whether purposely or by accident -- reversed that strategy, choosing some short-term pain in exchange for at least the possibility of long-term gain. . . .

House GOP Leaders Drop Planned Vote on 20-Week Ban After Controversy Within Party
The Washington Post: Abortion bill dropped amid concerns of female GOP lawmakers, by Ed O'Keefe:
House Republican leaders abruptly dropped plans late Wednesday to vote on an anti-abortion bill amid a revolt by female GOP lawmakers concerned that the legislation's restrictive language would once again spoil the party's chances of broadening its appeal to women and younger voters.
In recent days, as many as two dozen Republicans had raised concerns with the "Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act" that would ban abortions after the 20th week of a pregnancy. Sponsors said that exceptions would be allowed for a woman who is raped, but she could only get the abortion after reporting the rape to law enforcement.
A vote had been scheduled for Thursday to coincide with the annual March for Life, a gathering that brings hundreds of thousands of anti-abortion activists to Washington to mark the anniversary of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. . . .
CNN: House GOP leaders cave on abortion bill, by Deirdre Walsh:
Mark it down as a rare win for House GOP moderates. After scrambling into the evening on Wednesday, House Republican leaders decided to scrap a vote on a controversial anti-abortion measure scheduled to coincide with an annual gathering of anti-abortion advocates on Thursday because they couldn't round up enough support. . . .
The "Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act," is a bill banning so called "late-term abortions" -- those involving procedures for women who are beyond 20 weeks into their pregnancy. Several House GOP women protested language in the bill that requires those women who seek an exception to the ban because they were raped have to back up their claim with a police report. A similar measure has passed the House in 2013, but this time some female members -- including some who voted for it last time -- are pushing for that requirement to be stripped out. . . .
This is what happens when opponents of abortion stray from a simplistic but consistent position that all abortion is murder. They wade into a messy quagmire of exceptions -- which women "deserve" to have an abortion? -- a discussion that only serves to highlight that they do not, in fact, hold a consistent position that an embryo or fetus is a person. (The discredited claim that a fetus can perceive pain at 20 weeks indeed was supposed to cement the fetus's status as a person and justify the ban in question.) I've written more about this in the following articles: The Meaning of 'Life': Belief and Reason in the Abortion Debate and Roe v. Wade's 40th Anniversary: A Moment of Truth for the Anti-Abortion-Rights Movement?

Pope Affirms Catholic Anti-Contraception Policy While Criticizing "Breeding Like Rabbits"
NPR: Pope Francis Says Catholics Don't Need To Breed 'Like Rabbits', by Jasmine Garsd:
On his return trip from Asia, Pope Francis made strong statements supporting the church's ban on artificial means of birth control. He also said Catholics should practice "responsible parenthood" and don't have to breed "like rabbits." . . .
Reuters: Pope says birth control ban doesn't mean breed 'like rabbits', by Philip Pullella:
Catholics should not feel they have to breed "like rabbits" because of the Church's ban on contraception, Pope Francis said on Monday, suggesting approved natural family planning methods. . . .
The leader of the 1.2-billion-strong Roman Catholic Church restated its ban on artificial birth control, adding there were "many ways that are allowed" to practise natural family planning. . . .

House Plans to Vote on 20-Week Abortion Ban on Roe Anniversary; Obama Threatens Veto

The House is planning to vote on the bill Thursday, the anniversary of the landmark Supreme Court abortion case, Roe v. Wade, and the same day that thousands of anti-abortion advocates will participate in the March for Life. . . .

NYT Editorial on Attacks on Abortion Rights
The New York Times editorial: A Perilous Year for Abortion Rights:
The start of 2015 finds no letup in the attacks on a woman's constitutionally protected right to make her own childbearing decisions. Republican lawmakers and organizations devoted to dismantling reproductive freedom have succeeded in shrinking the already inadequate number of abortion providers, making it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, for women — especially young and poor women — to obtain safe and legal abortion services in large swaths Texas and other parts of the country. . . .

Will 20-Week Abortion Ban Advance in the New Congress?
MSNBC: The GOP wants to take the abortion wars national again, by Irin Carmon:
The new Congress had barely blinked awake when Republicans got back to their usual business – an abortion ban.
The Hill reports that on Monday, the first day of the new session, Rep. Trent Franks and Rep. Marsha Blackburn reintroduced the tendentiously named "Pain Capable Unborn Child Protection Act." It bans abortion after 20 weeks on the medically-disputed theory that fetuses can feel pain at that point. . . .

Federal Judge Permanently Enjoins Indiana Abortion Law
JURIST: Federal judge enters final ruling on Indiana abortion clinic law, by Steven Wildberger:
Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson of the US District Court for the Southern District of Indiana[official website] entered a permanent injunction Wednesday barring Indiana law IC 16-18-2 [text], which would redefine what qualifies as an abortion clinic and shut down Planned Parenthood's Lafayette facility. The law was barred for imposing rules on facilities that provided only medical abortions that would not have been imposed on physicians' offices providing the same service, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment [text]. . . .

Fifth Circuit Hears Arguments on Texas Ambulatory Surgical Center Requirement
The New York Times: Texas Abortion Clinic Rules Tested in Appeals Court, by Erik Eckholm:
Lawyers for abortion clinics squared off with Texas state attorneys in a federal appeals court here on Wednesday, arguing over the constitutionality of stringent abortion clinic rules that would force more than half the remaining abortion providers in Texas to close.
But more is at stake than whether large portions of South and West Texas will be left with no abortion clinics, forcing some women to drive hundreds of miles for an abortion, for safety reasons that doctors and clinic owners call a pretense.
The case argued here — along with others arising from the hundreds ofabortion restrictions adopted by more than half of the states in recent years — poses issues that are likely to end up before the Supreme Court in the next year or two, many legal experts say . . . .
Al Jazeera America: Texas abortion clinics: How far is too far to drive?, by Michael Keller & Marisa Taylor:
Is 150 miles too far to drive in order to get an abortion? In some parts of Texas, that distance could get a lot longer, and it's up to a federal appeals court to decide whether that places too much of a burden on women seeking to end their pregnancies. . . .
"It's always been a little bit unclear exactly what constitutes an 'undue burden,'" said Caitlin Borgmann, a professor at CUNY School of Law with expertise on reproductive rights law. . . .
"If women can't access abortions, then the right is meaningless," Borgmann said. "This very much goes to the core of what it means to be a constitutional right to abortion."
The Al Jazeera America story includes interactive maps that show what parts of Texas would be left without any available abortion clinics if the ambulatory surgical center requirement is upheld.

4th Circuit Panel Unanimously Rules NC Pre-Abortion Ultrasound Law Unconstitutional; State Vows to Seek Supreme Court Review
Slate: North Carolina's Outrageous Abortion Requirement Is Struck Down, by Dahlia Lithwick:
A conservative judge sticks up for medical ethics and the First Amendment.
A panel of the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals voted today to strike down a highly controversial North Carolina law requiring doctors and ultrasound technicians to perform an ultrasound, display the image of the sonogram, and specifically describe the fetus to any pregnant woman seeking an abortion, even if the woman actively "averts her eyes" and "refuses to hear." The American Civil Liberties Union, the Center for Reproductive Rights, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and others challenged the law, which was enjoined last year by a lower federal court.
Today, in a unanimous decision authored by Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, a three-judge panel affirmed a lower court's determination that the law is a compelled speech provision that violates the First Amendment rights of providers. . . .
The Washington Post: N.C. abortion restriction violates free speech, judges rule, by Sandhya Somashekhar:
. . . Several other states, including Virginia, have ultrasound requirements, with some requiring women to undergo internal "transvaginal" ultrasounds before obtaining an abortion. Only a handful, however, have gone so far as North Carolina, and courts have had mixed opinions about such laws,upholding them in Texas and striking them down in Oklahoma.
On Monday, the North Carolina attorney general's office said they would ask the Supreme Court to take up the matter to resolve the conflicting opinions in Texas and Richmond. . . .
The opinion is available here.

Supreme Court Declines to Review Decision Blocking Arizona Medication Abortion Restriction
The New York Times: Justices Let Abortion Decision Stand, by Adam Liptak:
The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a decision temporarily blocking an Arizona law that limits the availability of medicinal, nonsurgical abortions. As is its custom when it denies review, the court gave no reasons for its action.
The law, enacted in 2012, requires abortion providers to comply with a 2000 protocol from the Food and Drug Administration for mifepristone, anabortion-inducing drug that is sometimes called RU-486. . . .
The 2000 protocol calls for the drug to be given in higher doses than is customary today, and only in the first seven weeks of pregnancy. . . .
This denial is interesting in part because the Supreme Court had previously agreed to review a similar law from Oklahoma, which had been struck down by the Oklahoma Supreme Court. The U.S. Supreme Court had then certified questions to the Oklahoma Supreme Court regarding the law's interpretation. The Oklahoma Supreme Court read the law broadly, in a way that would have prohibited all medication abortions, including to treat ectopic pregnancies. After receiving the Oklahoma Supreme Court's interpretation, the U.S. Supreme Court in November 2013 dismissed the writ of certiorari as improvidently granted. It seemed possible that the U.S. Supreme Court would still be interested in reviewing a medication abortion restriction that was interpreted more narrowly as requiring adherence to the FDA-approved protocol. The Ninth Circuit decision on the preliminary injunction assumed for purposes of the opinion that the Arizona law only reached this far, but still found it to constitute an undue burden.

Religious Non-Profits Challenge Exemption to Affordable Care Act's Contraception Rule
The Salt Lake Tribune/AP: Religious nonprofits challenge birth-control coverage in health law. by Kristen Wyatt:
Faith-based nonprofit organizations that object to covering birth control in their employee health plans are in federal court Monday to challenge a birth-control compromise they say still compels them to violate their religious beliefs.
The plaintiffs include a group of Colorado nuns and four Christian colleges in Oklahoma. They are already exempt from covering contraceptives under the federal health care law.
But they say the exemption doesn't go far enough because they must sign away the coverage to another party, making them feel complicit in providing the contraceptives. . . .

South Korean Health Ministry Recalls Sexist Ad Promoting Contraception
BBC: South Korea: Contraception poster prompts outcry:
South Korea's government is under fire for a poster promoting contraception use which has been criticised by both men and women, it's reported.
The Ministry of Health and Welfare poster was meant to encourage women to "take responsibility" for using birth control in order to prevent abortions, the Korea Times website reports. It shows a young couple, after what appears to be a successful shopping trip, with the man carrying his partner's pink handbag and clutching several bags. The poster reads: "Although you leave everything to men, don't leave the responsibility for contraception to them."
There was a swift backlash from social media users . . . .

Abortion Care Providers Burdened by Fear of Sting Operations
Medscape: Nearly Half of Abortion Care Providers Fear Sting Operations, by Caroline Helwick:
Concerns about encountering "fake" patients and being threatened by "sting" operations are pervasive among abortion providers and their clinic staff, somewhat out of proportion to their actual risks, according to research conducted at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.
Lead author Emily J. Youatt, MPH, a doctoral candidate at the university, said this fear "introduces a new stress to an already burdened workforce" and can "negatively influence the patient–provider relationship."
At the American Public Health Association (APHA) 142nd Annual Meeting here, Youatt presented the results of a survey that explored stigma and fears among abortion care providers. . . .

5 Ways To Have Fun Even If You Go To School In The Middle Of Nowhere
Have you ever gotten the feeling that your college town was more…isolated than your hometown?
Does the area around your school turn to farmland a couple miles outside campus? Does the local population of cows outnumber the number of students at your school?
If you said yes to any of the above, you probably go to school "in the middle of nowhere."
Don't worry, though. Going to a small school in a small town doesn't have to be boring. I've attended such a school myself for more than a year, and in that time I've discovered a variety of fun things to do, even with having no car.
As an added bonus, all of these activities are free or cheap, helping you cut the cost of college even more. It's all about getting creative.

Video: LCD Soundsystem: "Drunk Girls"
By Ryan Dombal on April 19, 2010 at 11:30 a.m. EDT
As if the song wasn't great enough on its own, LCD Soundsystem's "Drunk Girls" now has its own wonderfully anarchic video. The clip sees LCD members being terrorized by a bunch of (possibly tipsy) panda droogs, and I implore you to watch it below. (Although it hasn't been confirmed yet, the video's tags on YouTube seem to indicate that Spike Jonze directed it.) UPDATE: According to LCD's UK label, the video was co-directed by Spike Jonze and James Murphy.
LCD's new album, This Is Happening, is out May 18 in the U.S. and a day earlier in Europe. It's streaming in its entirety now at the band's site.

In a recent interview with Pitchfork, James Murphy told us that the song is "about drunk people and fun things and the fact that all of the boys of the L.A. mansion we recorded at were called 'the girls' by our chef. We were the ladies of the mansion."

Watch: LCD Soundsystem Debut Song at Yves Saint Laurent Fashion Show

Those who attended Yves Saint Laurent's fashion show in Paris on March 8 didn't only get to see skinny girls dressed like superhero secretaries. They got to hear a new song by LCD Soundsystem, who performed at the event, as the DFA website points out.
The track apparently is a "re-incarnation or LCD-style interpretation" of experimental composer Peter Gordon and Love of Life Orchestra's 1979 songs "Beginning of the Heartbreak" and "Don't Don't", according to the band's label. (UPDATE: It appears to only be a version of "Beginning of the Heartbreak".) In an impressive act of synergy, on April 27, DFA is set to release a 12" single featuring remixes of both tracks by Gordon himself. There's no word yet on whether the LCD fashion show rework will be officially released.
Listen: New LCD Soundsystem Song From Greenberg Soundtrack
By Ryan Dombal on March 9, 2010 at 11:40 a.m. EST
There are seven full-fledged James Murphy songs (with vocals!) on his soundtrack to the upcoming Noah Baumbach film Greenberg. One of those tracks is credited to LCD Soundsystem: "Oh You (Christmas Blues)". (The others are credited to James Murphy.) Honestly, "Oh You" sounds more like the rest of the Murphy songs on the soundtrack (think 70s-era solo Beatles) than the dance-floor explosions we're used to from LCD.
But that's OK, because we've got a whole new LCD album on the way May 17 via DFA/Parlophone in the UK and May 18 in the U.S. on DFA/Virgin. The Greenberg soundtrack is out March 23-- read our interview with Murphy about it here. And listen to an admittedly poor quality webrip of "Oh You (Christmas Blues)" here.

Asperger's SyndromeA lot of people have been asking me about Asperger's syndrome and some of my experiences with it and some of the conditions. This is largely because, on the internet at least, I seem to be good at hiding it. Most people I meet here don't know that I have Asperger's syndrome unless I directly tell them. I do have it, but what exactly does it mean? First off all, please don't use this as a way to diagnose yourself. If you think that you have Asperger's syndrome, depression, or any other mental condition please see a licensed psychiatrist. You cannot self-diagnose mental conditions. (Hmmm... I kind of have that symptom sometimes, I MUST have this disorder!) Asperger's syndrome is known as a high-functioning autism, and as such many of the symptoms are similar, and yet, in some ways it's very different.The most notable symptoms of Asperger's syndrome come from issues with social interaction. Most people seem to notice this because there are a lot of people claiming to be an asshole on the

U.S. Edition
WASHINGTON (CNN) –- Obama popped in for lunch Saturday at Ben's Chili Bowl, the 50-year-old Washington fast food institution famous for its "half-smokes" –- sausages smothered in spicy homemade chili sauce, mustard, and onions.
The visit came as a complete surprise to Sonya Ali, one of the owners of the family-run business.
"Do you think I'd look like this if I knew?" she said, referencing her red blouse and slacks. The Secret Service came in and secured the location. Ali asked them how soon they could expect the president-elect. "Within minutes," they told her.
And sure enough, he did, with Washington D.C. Mayor Adrian Fenty in tow.
Security barricaded the U Street block, and hundreds rushed out of restaurants and apartment buildings to catch a glimpse of the incoming president.
Listen: Hear the crowd react and the owner reflect on the visit http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/images/01/10/obama.bens.mp3
Obama posed with diners and staff in all three rooms of the restaurant, before returning to the counter to collect his order: a chili half-smoke and sweet tea. Fenty had cheese fries and water.
There is a sign near the cash register that reads: "Who Eats Free at Ben's. Bill Cosby. The Obama Family." For years, the privilege was reserved for Cosby, a frequent patron and friend of the owner's family.
"I actually changed that sign two days before the election," Ali said. "I sat up in the office. I said: 'I am changing the sign because he's going to win. He's going to be the president and we'd love to have him in here.' We heard he liked chili."
Seeing the sign, the president-elect said he appreciated the gesture, but paid with a $20 bill, telling the counter attendant who asked if he wanted change, "No, we're straight."
The president-elect and mayor took a two-person table, and joked with diners as they ate. Asked about the significance of the visit, Obama simply said: "It means I'm going to get a hot dog."
"It is a very historic moment," Ali said. "[T]o actually have him here was just wonderful. It just kind of proves that what we felt all along: that he is really a president for the people. He is just a man among men. So it's an honor."
This was Obama's first visit to Ben's.
The president-elect posed for a photo with a group of policemen and Fenty outside the restaurant, and refused to take sides on a question of local loyalties: "I'm a Bulls fan. White Sox fan. Neutral when it come to Maryland and Georgetown."
Saturday's half-smoke sausage may be just about all the smoking Obama is doing of late. The president-elect has made an effort to quit smoking, although he admitted in recent interviews that he has, on occasion, "fallen off the wagon."
Folks, you do not know just how lucky you are in having BARACK as your PRESIDENT!
WE CANADIANS LOVE BARACK. we have even said on our BLOGS, that if you do not appreciate Barack, we would love to have him and his family move to Canada...........darn... you decided. (rightly so) that YOU WANT TO KEEP BARACK AND HIS FAMILY, SO WHAT CAN I SAY? WE ARE OUT OF LUCK!
lol @ people coming to this thinking it was something about Obama smoking.
Hi Haters!!!!
Oh man I went to Ben's late Friday night, I wish I had went today for lunch instead, I just missed him! And I noticed the addition of the Obama family to the "People who eat free at Ben's" sign. I'm glad he went! Welcome to DC!
The title of this article is misleading.
Wow, he eats food...with his mouth. The Democrats are right;.
He's a GOD!
Please look at the spelling errors of the Obama supporters in this article. If this is his "base" we are in serious (or seeryus) trouble.
Lol, This is our president? Whats next, bailout for mcdonalds?
This is news HOW?? Come on people.
I swear that man has a cast-iron stomach... ;-)
Obama You are a good man.
Ben's chili bowl is a DC staple. It is the same half smoke served in National's park. You're not a 'DC' rsident if you have never dined there.. this is important b/c even though he is new to town he is embracing the community of where he lives. He has met with our mayor Fenty at least twice that I know of. And his daughters are enrolled in school here. G. Bush – I'm sure has never even heard of Ben's chili bowl – hated DC – and was completely out of touch.
I can only hope Ben's Chili Bowl opens a resturant here in Las Vegas.
Their food sounds great.. Not only that, it sounds healthier than Mc D's extra greasy crud. I'm sure Obama's security detail enjoyed this place as well!!
Well, we have a Hooters here so that will do just fine.
Mark: Gee, so you figured out CNN's angle on making the title eye-catching. Very astute.
So Obama has sausages and people are praising him for it? Jesus Christ. I supported Obama and donated to his campaign, and *I'm* sick of the Obama worship. Support him, people, don't worship him.
Smoker here. What is up with smoker phobia. I am sick of it.....the way people go on and on about it....it so bad alot of smokers take it to the closet....they should just make it illegal if they don't want us addictied....I don't get it. We cant smoke indoors anymore here in Oregon and frankly I never smoke indoors anyways, I think Tobacco education has created a bunch of non-tolerant bigets....for god sakes leave the fien alone!!!! This article is sweet but its twisted headlines are spun to draw the condemer. If you knew what kind of energy it took in your own life to be president you would realize Obama has every right to manage his stress how he wants. STFU
That One !!!! January 10th, 2009 9:19 pm ET Your comment is awaiting moderation. @Mike, Syracuse NY Please find TCM and you guys take your Racist A_S to H_LL **************************************************************************** @Eve and Mark ….half-smokes" –- sausages smothered in spicy homemade chili sauce, mustard, and onions.Saturday's half-smoke sausage may be just about all the smoking Obama is doing of late. The president-elect has made an effort to quit smoking, although he admitted in recent interviews that he has, on occasion, "fallen off the wagon."
The title was very misleading and inappropiate.
Aside from this, it is great to see our president-elect, continuing to fellowship and reach out to the people he will serve. I love the way the new administration and cabinet is looking. A great sampling of America's finest from all four corners.
Let us continue to stay involved in our government and serve for the greater good of all Americans in our respective professions.
Way to go Obama!
I applaud PEBO for keeping it real! I will pray that you continue to be yourself. Be who you are, do you!
Blossum it may give him gas.But how presidential it will be is another question. in most cases. methane gas smells really bad in other words stinks like hell.and you know this guy isn't supposed to stink.
you guys are hilarious, guy eats a hot dog and its like he pated the Red Sea.
I just love him.
who gives a crap
This beautiful man is just like Jesus hanging with common people. I knew when I worked in his campaign for twenty one months, gave of my money and lots and lots of prayers, chased by dogs, walking in dog mess, being cursed out, doors closed in my face. Having my WHITE REPUBLICAN husband who by the way voted for Mccain working daily in the field with me. Still married to me and still just as loving as he was before Obama came in the picture (smile). Never changing the channel on my TV from CNN, MSNBC and NBC, I was doing the right thing. God is with you Obama all the way. You will be the best President this Country have ever had. While that you are not perfect you are perfect for us. You might not see me on the 20th but I will be there with my WHITE REPUBLICAN husband. By the way I would rather Obama smoke a cig once in a while than cheating on his wife and country. Get over it he will be delivered.
Obama half smoking? what kind of crap is that cnn ? the man was eating and yall call it half smoking?
I was kind of wondering who has the dirty job of cleaning up the "wet" spot on the chairs of MSM "reporters" who write these fluff stories about the Messiah. Knowing the liberal mentality, I'm sure they only get minimum wage. HEIL OBAMA!

Regence defends rate request
- Andy Giegerich
"Those three factors are all rising by more than the consumer price index and other cost-of-living indexes," Short said. "We're all concerned about that. But I don't want to suggest that doctors are giving themselves 10 percent pay raises. The reality is, they're balancing their overall budgets, and when that happens, there's cost-shifting that occurs."
Other factors include an increase in patients who suffer from chronic conditions, which require more expensive care.
Short will face his share of grilling during the public hearing. Regence and other health plans have already received an earful from state Sen. Chip Shields, a Portland Democrat.
Shields questions how Regence can raise rates when national insurance utilization numbers, which indicate how much insurers pay providers, are dropping.
"It's to the point where deductibles are so high that people can't afford to go to the doctor," Shields said. "Earnings of the multinational insurers have been incredible over the last year and a half. Insurers don't even feel any burden when (their covered patients) go to the doctor."
Shields is championing Senate Bill 717 because he believes the efforts will lend credence to small businesses' concerns.
Short said Regence supports the state's transparency effort. The insurer created a website — whatstherealcost.org — that offers insights, but Shields said Regence and other insurers, especially Providence Health Systems, have pushed back on his efforts.
"The industry is very much on message that the blame should fall on somebody else," he said. "That's fine, but if that's the case, I can't understand why they'd want to keep small business customers from having a seat at the table so they can explain that in a public forum."

UK FATCA update
The UK government announced late last year that it would seek to make arrangements for the automatic exchange of information with its overseas territories. The UK's legislation is modelled after and applies similar information sharing techniques to those incorporated in the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA); such arrangements have come to be known as 'UK FATCA' or 'son of FATCA'.
The Cayman Islands government has announced that it has now signed a FATCA-type intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with the UK. Cayman's premier, the Hon Alden McLaughlin, noted that the agreement 'strongly indicates our mutual support for a single, global standard for the automatic exchange of information'.
The UK and Cayman Islands governments intend to monitor the effects of the IGA to ensure it creates an appropriate balance — not creating undue hardship on financial institutions while constituting an effective tool in the ongoing global efforts to fight tax evasion…

Fugro Seacore is building a pile top drill, the T120, for the offshore wind farm market to assist with monopole installations of up to eight meters diameter.
The development represents a significant step forward in capacity, as Its current big drill has 90 metric tons of rotational torque; the new one will have 120 metric tons. This new addition to the fleet means they will have two drills capable of relief drilling piles of larger than six-meter diameter simultaneously, for instances where larger monopiles are the chosen foundation for the wind farm sites of round three in U.K. waters and elsewhere in the European market. "Our drilling rigs and associated equipment are custom built with specific markets and projects in mind," said Alun Jones of Fugro Seacore. "We are constantly seeking to expand the parameters of drilling technology and enjoy rising to challenges, such as recently completing a 6.5-meter diameter by 63-m deep shaft – the largest drilled marine socket in the world." The entire pile top drill set-up, weighing approximately 350 metric tons, was scheduled to be completed this month and on site in early February 2014. www.fugroseacore.com (As published in the November/December 2013 edition of Marine Technology Reporter - www.seadiscovery.com)

What you ppl are not understanding- so you send your normal generally well behaved kid to H.S., but he's going into a place with kids who have mental issues, violence issues, lack of upbringing, parents who allow their kids to get pierced & tatooed, gang members, teachers who are oblivious or worn out, and administration folks who just want to get paid & go home. Your kid's choice 1.) fight back, hold his own so no future problems 2.) Cry to administration & watch his back the rest of the year. In some large schools gang activity is very real, in others wannabe gangs cause havoc. You can't just say it's the parents, how would YOU act in prison?

I love you Marco Rubio, but you are not realizing the problem here. If I go and rob a bank then give the money to my children, then get caught can my kids keep the money? Of course not because it wasn't mine to give. If the illegals have been here for so many years, yet not obtained legal status, how then can they pass on the benefit of legal status? They cannot. They all must go. We must be a nation of laws.

Actually, the "Blowback" theory makes logical sense, the U.S.'s reaction to 9-11 does not. Our govt unknown to most of us DOES go into other countries & attempt to manipulate various situations ( leadership, policies, outcomes, ect.) we would not like it if China/Russia/Syria had operatives here attempting to choose our leadership would we? The 9-11 terrorists all had visas issued from State Dept., all came from Saudia Arabia, yet we send troops into Iraq. Then we go into Afganistan. Why? Bush had to look like he was doing something about it. Constitutionally, it's not acceptable to go into other countries as we've done. The Patriot Act is not constitutional, the govt forcing banks to collect data for them is not constitutional. Our govt allowed the terrorists in, same as they are allowing the non-violent occupation by illegals. The govt is defined by our constitution to protect our soverienity but it is not. To cook a frog you must put it in a pot & heat the water slowly to a boil or the frog will jump out, that's what they're doing, we are the frogs.

Sure the people are friendly, to your face, turn your back & it's all about how to bring you down. You've got regular roadblocks by your "state police", need special permission to OWN a handgun, you've got Social services (aka kids' gestapo) in your schools, but tell me again how "conservative" NNY is?

@Jaycee NYC has the most stringent anti gun laws, all but police are forbidden to carry.

Seperatenow & Jrook- First do not buy the whole " no doc loans brought the house down" BS, any loan/mortgage is guaranteed by the collateral ( house) so if I default on my loan/mtg the bank has been making higher interest from the loan start, & the house should sell for the amount owed. No this was much bigger than that. No docs have been around a long time, most self employed use them ( or did ) the problem was ppl can't pay the mtg when they don't have a job.

Frankly I don't care if anyone thinks he's a racist, or homophobe, if you are a white male you are automatically tagged that line regardless. I don't care about Isreal, nor Iraq, nor China, & certainly not Mexico until it has something to do with America. I really wasn't sure about Paul as a candidate, I kept hearing how he's crazy, but I cannot find anything "crazy" coming from him. I will be voting for real sincere change come this primary & election. I want action on illegal immigration! I want sound fiscal policy. I want an end to paying foriegn aid!

As a catholic trying to find a church, I went to several churches last year. I went every Sunday, I went on Holy days of obligation. I frankly got nothing from it. Some priests have such an accent it's hard to understand what they're saying, the singing is annoying, then they've got the entire congregation going up for Eurchrist…REALLY?!! All of you have been to confession? Liars!!!! The people act nice in church, but see them after it's quite a change. I'm going to stick to praying and learning at home, I sleep in, I play with the kids, I enjoy the day and truly thank God for it.

I think Santorum truly believes in his anti-abortion stance, but I also think he's a big government progressive RHINO. He almost can't help it, he's from the northeast which is all about government programs, government intervention. I think he's been too far removed for too long from normal society that although he keeps his roots strong, he doesn't get what the average American is dealing with. He does not understand that illegals have ruined many industries in this country, many neighborhoods, many schools. His family is removed from that reality, so it's not a priority.
January 13, 2012 at 2:18pm
Yeah, 50K a year but "they're doing the work Americans won't do" my ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You so-called Americans had better clue the hell up- "how did our economy fall?" you ask, well all the jobs these illegals have robbed from fellow Americans have resulted in your neighbors losing their jobs, their homes, and their lives. Because YOU hired illegals, because YOU didn't figure it would affect you. Well it affects all of us! When roofer Joe no longer has a job, his kids are no longer going to after school activities, the dentist, his wife no longer visits the salon, they don't have internet, ect. ect.
