Statistics show that the earlier CPR is initiated, the greater the chances of survival.
In fact, chances of survival are doubled if help is provided within four minutes. This few minutes can be the difference between life and death.
WOWZER…I told you…You have to start CPR quickly because after 8 minutes….brain damage is certain!
SO…How Does CPR Work??
CPR may not always save the victim even when performed properly, but if started within 4 minutes of cardiac arrest and defibrillation is provided within 10 minutes, a person has a 40% chance of survival. So be like Nike…and JUST DO IT!
CPR provides a trickle of oxygenated blood to the brain and heart and keeps these organs alive.
Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) serves as an artificial heartbeat until a defibrillation can shock the heart into a normal rhythm or emergency equipment arrives.
Remember the CAB's of CPR: Circulation, Airway and Breathing
However, medical professionals and trained lay people are still urged to give the victim two "rescue breaths" in between each series of 30 chest compressions.
The new guidelines also call for faster and more forceful compressions than in years past. The new standard is to compress the chest at least two inches on each push, at a rate of 100 compressions per minute. The AHA says the perfect pace is that of the Bee Gees' "Staying Alive."There has been a change in the recommended sequence for the lone rescuerto initiate chest compressions before giving rescue breaths (C-A-B rather than A-B-C)The lone rescuer should begin CPR with 30 compressions rather thanventilation to reduce delay to first compression. Increase the depth of chest compressions to 2 inches for adults & children and 1.5 inches for infants.
American Heart Association guidelines notes that
adult CPR standards
are used on those persons
8 years of age and older.
Before you begin.
** If the person answers, CPR is not needed. (No matter HOW cute they are!)
If the person is unresponsive or unconscious, or showing signs of a stroke or heart attack, call 911 immediately and initiate the CAB's of CPR which include: C-Circulation,A-Airway, B-Breaths
In case of emergency
When performing chest compressions, proper hand placement is very important. To locate the correct hand position place two fingers at the sternum (the spot where the lower ribs meet) then put the heel of your other hand next to your fingers.Place one hand on top of the other and interlace the fingers . Lock your elbows and using your body's weight, compress the victim's chest. The depth of compressions should be at least 2 inches - remember: 2 hands, 2 inches . Count aloud as you compress 30 times at the rate of about 3 compressions for every 2 seconds or approximately 100 compressions per minute.
Airway: Clear the airwayPut the person on his or her back on a firm surface. Kneel next to the person's neck and shoulders. Open the person's airway using the head tilt-chin lift. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently push down. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway. Check for normal breathing, taking no more than 10 seconds: Look for chest motion (rising up and down), listen for breath sounds, and feel for the person's breath on your cheek and ear. Gasping or gurgling is NOT normal breathing. If the person isn't breathing normally or you aren't sure, consider rescue breathing if you are trained to do so.
Breathing: Breathe for the person
Shout and gently shaking him/her. If there is no response, Call 911 and return to the victim. Pulse Check Location - Carotid artery (neck)
Child CPR
By the American Heart Association's® guidelines
Child CPR
is administered to ANY victim under the age of 8. Children have a better chance of survival if CPR is performed immediately.
The most common reasons children stop breathing and their heart stops beating are the following:
Check for responsiveness
Shake or tap the child gently.
See if the child moves or makes a noise.
Shout, "Are you OK?"
If there is no response, shout for help.
Send someone to call 911. Do not leave the child alone to call 911 until AFTER you have given about 1-2 minutes of CPR.
Restore blood circulation!
Check if the child's heart is beating.
In order to do that, find carotid artery in the neck.
Place your two fingertips on it and apply light pressure for several seconds.
If no circulation is detected, begin chest compressions.
Open the airway
Look, listen, and feel for breathing.
(Of course, so can a peanut or Lego…)
Keep in mind that children's lungs are much smaller and require you use shallower breaths. Watch victim's chest to prevent stomach distention.If the child is not breathing:
Shouting and gently shaking the child.
Infant CPR
According to the AHA guidelines, Infant CPR
is administered to any child under the age of 12 months.
Restore blood circulation!
Check if the infant's heart is beating by
finding the brachial artery located on the inside of the arm near the inside of the elbow (INSIDE).
Place your two fingertips on the fleshy part and apply light pressure for several seconds.
If you do not feel a pulse, then the infant's heart is not beating.
Begin chest compressions.
Use caution when doing compressions on an infant, as a baby's ribcage is susceptible to damage.
Imagine a horizontal line between the baby's nipples. Place 2 fingers of your one hand just below this imaginary line, in the center of the chest. Gently compress the chest to about one-third to one-half the depth of the chest. Count aloud as you push in rapid rhythm. You should pump at a rate of about 100 times a minute.
DIAL 911. It is critical
Give 2 breaths after every 30 chest compressions. Compressions should be about ½-1 inch deep. Perform CPR for two (2) minutes before calling for help unless you can send someone else while you care for the baby. Continue CPR until you see signs of life or until a professional caregiver relieves you.
Clear the airway
Breathe for the infant
Infant CPR should be administered to any victim under the
age of 12 months.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Check the baby for unresponsiveness
Pat his/her feet, shoulders or chest. If no response, give 2 minutes of CPR before calling 911. Pulse Check Location - Brachial artery (arm)
2. Circulation and compressions.
Push down with 2 fingers ½ 1nch, 30 times at the rate of 100 per minute in the center of the chest just below the nipples.
3. Airways.
Slightly tilt the head into "sniffer's position". Remember the baby's head is floppy and heavy
4. Breathing.
If the baby is NOT breathing give 2 small gentle breaths. Cover the baby's mouth and nose with your mouth. Each breath should be 1 second long. You should see the baby's chest rise with each breath
5. Continue until help arrives.
CPR should not be interrupted while the adhesive AED pads are being applied.
*If a shock is indicated, ensure that everyone is clear of the victim for their safety. This includes you!
*Press and hold the shock button located on the face of the AED machine to deliver the pre-determined amount of electrical energy to the heart. The victim may jump or twitch with the delivery of the electrical charge.
*Please remember that during this time, the AED machine may be heard giving instructions. Follow those instructions for best success.
*After shocks are completed, follow prompts to restart CPR or check patient.
Do not remove the AED pads to perform CPR.
Leave them in place.
The AED has directions
That are easy to follow.
There are also voice
Commands after pads are
**There are many different AED designs, but all are simple to operate.. As long as you understand the general principles behind an AED, you may be able to save someone's life. DO NOT BE AFRAID TO ACT!
Do NOT use an AED on a trauma patient.
Do NOT use an AED on a child under 1 year old.
Do NOT use an AED on a victim with a PULSE (they may get up and make YOU the trauma).

2008 Interactive Achievement Awards held alongside DICE, GameStop and AIAS will work together to place labels on winning titles, raising awareness of the awards, as well as raising sales of the games.
At GameStop locations, copies of games like Call of Duty 4, Rock Band, Super Mario Galaxy, and The Orange Box will bear labels informing consumers of the categories in which they won at the Interactive Achievement Awards. Rock Band, for instance, will be labeled for "Outstanding Innovation in Gaming" as well as "Family Game of the Year."
Admittedly, a lot of the winning games certainly don't need any help moving copies on shelves, but the recognition will help to further legitimize the Interactive Achievement Awards. Check out our coverage of the awards to see a full list of games which will bear the AIAS label.

THE Maracana, the world's largest football stadium and the Mecca of Brazilian soccer, is being eaten away by corrosion by football fans relieving themselves on the terraces.
Not wanting to miss even a second of a match by using the lavatories, the Brazilians have long held to a tradition of urinating in the stadium's access ramps. The problem came to light after officials noticed that the entrances' concrete and steel structures were eroding badly. Luis Eduardo Cardoso, an engineer at the 50-year-old stadium, which was built to host the only World Cup finals held in Brazil and is home to the Flamengo club, said: "There is corrosion in all the entrance points to the stadium.
"We believe that the main cause of this structural damage is people going to the toilet. All those gallons of urine contain a lot of ammonia which acts with amazing speed. It eats through the concrete and then acts like acid on the steel girders, which is why the corrosion is so devastating."
So seriously are the authorities taking this threat to the historic stadium that they are launching an "anti-urine" patrol. An eight-man squad will patrol the corridors of the stands - which can hold 220,000 spectators - and forcibly guide the fans towards the lavatories. Mr Cardoso said: "When there are big games it can get pretty disgusting here with a really horrible smell. There is a huge volume of this liquid. If we don't do something about it the very structure of the Maracana could be destroyed."
Apart from the urine patrol, the stadium officials are spending thousands of pounds on renovating the lavatories. They plan to have brand new facilities next to the bar, along with more lavatories at every entrance point. Another problem, according to Francis Carvalho, president of Rio de Janeiro's sports authority, is that the stadium's management has been reluctant to invest in comfortable, modern lavatory facilities.
Mr Carvalho said: "The fans have a tradition of getting really mad and smashing everything in sight if their team loses. They go to the bathrooms and rip toilets from the wall and break all the pipes, so we haven't really wanted to make the bathrooms any more enticing for them."
As well as renovating the lavatories, the Maracana's engineers are starting work on replacing the damaged concrete and steel girders in the entrance areas. The engineers plan to erect new steel pillars which will later be encased in concrete.

Chloroquine as an Anti-autophagy Drug in Stage IV Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) Patients: A Phase 1 Trial
Tumor hypoxia is a well-known factor negatively influencing outcome in many solid tumors,
including small cell lung cancer. Hypoxic cells are more radio-resistant, more
chemo-resistant and more prone to develop distant metastases than normoxic cells.
One of the mechanisms responsible for survival of these therapy-resistant hypoxic cells is
(macro-)autophagy: a phenomenon in which cells provide themselves with energy (ATP) by
digesting their own cell-organelles. Chloroquine is a potent blocker of autophagy and has
been demonstrated in a lab setting to dramatically enhance tumor response to radiotherapy,
chemotherapy and even anti-hormonal therapy.
Thus, chloroquine might very well be able to increase overall survival in small cell lung
cancer by sensitizing cells resistant to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
To determine the toxicity of adding chloroquine in escalating doses in SCLC patients: to standard dose cisplatin-etoposide in extensive disease SCLC; to standard dose concurrent radiotherapy and cisplatin-etoposide in limited disease SCLC

A Proactive Mitt VoteSunday, November 4th, 2012
When John McCain suspended his campaign after finally having some positive momentum post-Palin's electrifying RNC speech, I knew it was over. It was quite possibly the dumbest political move I had ever seen and at that point, politics had been my focus for only three years.
Disheartened and discouraged, I soldiered on because Barack Obama would be, well, what he was: Bad for the economy, bad for international relations, and generally contemptuous of anyone who did not see things his way. It's been worse than I imagined.
I joked on Twitter that I'd vote for a roasted turnip over Barack Obama.
My choice lost the GOP primary. I thought I was stuck voting for a turnip. I've been wrong. It has been a pleasant surprise.
Mitt Romney has shown himself to be an able, flexible, proactive campaigner. He's had the press nearly universally against him and cheerfully plowed forward.
Strategically, Mitt is never put off by Obama's silly mind games. The press' obsession with Romney non-gaffes over Obama's actual missteps has been … I'm at a loss for words. Put it this way: The press has so staked its existence on Barack Obama that it has decided to go down with the ship. No rats flee. No rats even attempt modest objectivity. And still, Mitt stays on his positive, pro-American message.
Policy wise, Mitt seems technocratic. That is, he doesn't dislike government, per se, he dislikes how it is managed, and by golly, he's going to do some restructuring.
Romney's urge to reorder should comfort Democrats terrified that the business of government is going away with a Republican. President Romney sees a bureaucracy worth saving. That should inspire Dems, but no.
The Democrat position seems to be "Just as I am Lord." Please, leave every bloated agency fat and inefficient. Keeping the agency and trimming the fat? Unthinkable.
Now, I go to the kill-the-agency-then-burn-it-in-a-fire school of government thought. I'm likely to be disappointed by Romney's trimming of the verge.
Still, trimming is better than growing.
Here's what's surprised me about Mitt: I thought he was more of a nobless-oblige driven blue blood like George W. Bush. Oh, I know GW is from Texas. But underneath is a north-easterner who feels, like Obama, that the little people just can't quite take care of themselves. It lead to many maddening policies.
Mitt is not that guy. Mitt's midwestern sensibilities have hung on more than I thought. In addition, choosing to be a self-made man has given him confidence not only in himself but in people.
There's an underlying lack of faith that statists have in people. They believe people incapable of self-sufficiency. Thus, laws have to be written to "protect" the citizen from himself. Mitt doesn't seem to believe that. He has a live and let-live attitude and a firm faith in people. The attitude is refreshing.
When I get discouraged at the economic misery, I remind myself that multiple states have enjoyed quiet but quite solid turn arounds with good policy. Wisconsin and Indiana come immediately to mind. Bobby Jindal has been righting the Louisiana ship. This is happening all over America and it's encouraging. California is a notable exception. Illinois seems to be a few disastrous steps behind.
Still, those turnarounds remind me that America is not lost. The situation is dire. There can be no doubt that whomever is elected faces some nearly impossibly difficult choices. My concern is that Barack Obama would just avoid them and his indecision would be a decision.
Mitt Romney will make the decisions. Some will be tough. They are bound to displease someone–all big decisions do, but what choice do we have? Doesn't it feel like time is up?
So, it was easy for me to vote for Mitt Romney. Not as a defensive position, but as a positive decision. Maybe Mitt is just the man for the season. Maybe he can manage this failing state out of its bankruptcy. I say maybe not because I doubt his abilities but because the task is so formidable.
The media, left, and poll watchers seem 84% convinced that Barack Obama is a shoe-in. Or, it's tied 48-48. 47-47. The models have Obama running away with the electoral college.
In my bones, I don't believe this. Some states are going to be lost, no doubt. But this guaranteed result? Bah.
Vote. I feel good about my Mitt vote and you should, too.
Mitt Romney Supporters To Rick Santorum Supporters: Submit FoolsWednesday, February 29th, 2012
Mitt's followers are really sick of the competition. The stakes are so high, time to come together on the inspiring Mitt banner. He's nearly flawless. Better than that, he's awesome. Also, he's all that we have.
All the remaining candidates, including Romney, are flawed and would be nearly fatally so if they weren't running against such a weak president.
Times have changed. A big government Republican is not what most of the GOP, or country, want, but that's what is before them.
None of these guys are much likable. None are trustworthy in the ways of trimming the fat of the government.
Barack Obama isn't trustworthy about cutting government but he is likable. We may not like him, but most of America still does or really wants to.
The argument that Mitt Romney is the only guy, the smartest guy, the electable guy gets wearying in the face of clear evidence that he's imperfect and runs a kinda nasty campaign all while expecting kid-glove treatment by others. In addition, his core is so middle of the road, people don't trust that he will do anything he says he will.
An independent, fiscally conservative friend in Michigan shared this with me after I asked who got their vote:
I did not vote. I was contemplating it on the way home and decided against it.
I had determined I would have to vote for Romney since Santorum still elicits no confidence from me. The thought of it disgusted me so much that I chose to not vote.
Primary voting has been rather suppressed everywhere. If it weren't for the Democrats in Michigan, would turnout have been lower?
In a disastrous Obama administration, it's difficult to fathom that people on the right are so completely disheartened.
Still, they feel about Mitt Romney the way they felt about Health Care Reform: He's being rammed down their throats.
It makes people a little less forgiving when the Super McAwesome Candidate flubs a stupid question by a stupid reporter. Like Josh Trevino says, "The real problem with this Blunt/Romney thing is that it was eminently plausible as first reported."
Also, Britt Hulme gets to the heart of it:
@ByronYork I thought Romney skipped past the question, to seize a chance to stick it to Santorum on contraception. Not a considered answer.
— Brit Hume (@Kimsfirst) March 1, 2012
It's that eagerness to jam Santorum and the absolute insistence by Mitt's followers that he's the nicest and smartest and most electable guy in the field, left that makes folks dig in their heels. If Mitt were such a stellar candidate and seemed so nice and electable, people would forgive the foibles. The problem is that he doesn't.
Obama is so awful that a GOP turnip would get most of the bases' vote but it's naive to believe that folks like my independent friend will make the effort to do so. They'll just stay home because "they all suck".
Will the not-Mitt crowd submit? Some might. I'm afraid this acrimonious primary will make it difficult for everyone to fall in line this time.
Mitt Romney Could Have Been A Shoo-In — UpdatedTuesday, February 21st, 2012
Mitt Romney, for all the irritating inevitability story lines, could have been inevitable. Instead, he's fighting for his life against an annoying former Senator who lost his last race by 18 points. No big loss, there. Mitt didn't even run again, so sure he was of losing.
Mitt should already be the nominee but he's not and the reason for that is simple: He could not throw the center right even one conservative bone. Not. One.
Wait, check that. Two bones. He pandered on illegal immigration, but that was just to get rid of Rick Perry. Remember him? Yeah, the guy who was a fiscal conservative with social conservative underpinnings and oodles of executive experience. Oh right, he had a few bad debates.
But I digress.
So we're left with Mitt duking it out with Rick Santorum and Newt who has been quiet as of late. Or is it that the press and pundits want him gone and/or are bored of him so just refuse to engage with or talk to him?
No matter. Mitt should have this wrapped up and he doesn't. He could have it wrapped up if only he were willing to pick one conservative idea that he likes now, liked once and has consistently liked.
Problem? There isn't one. Even the illegal immigration stuff is undermined by his workers being illegal aliens. He's not that offended by them, evidently.
If there was a government intervention, Mitt loved it.
He has a difficult time speaking passionately about a conservative idea because he's worked hard at being bland and inoffensive to liberals.
Mitt has made almost no effort to shore up the base. The calculation has been thus: Obama is such an atrocity that the Republican candidate shouldn't offend the center, the base will do what it's told.
That might have been true if the Republican party hadn't already burned every bridge with the base. They didn't just burn them though, they torched them and put conservative heads on spikes along the way. (Not sure about that? What happened to Sarah Palin couldn't have happened if the Republican hierarchy, lead by John McCain hadn't sat on their hands.)
The Republicans have been pushing back at the conservative base. They insulted them with No Child Left Behind and creating loads of agencies in a post-9/11 world and sealed the deal with government bailouts of banks, Wall Street, GM, and every sort of shifting money from taxpayers to irresponsible institutions and people.
And then there's Obamacare. And Romneycare. Does this even need to be explained? Yanking the choice away from people responsible enough to buy insurance and making the responsible pay…for less.
And Romney defends it all.
If he could convincingly say that he made mistakes and give a soaring speech defending liberty and the American way, that contrast would be enough to ensure his candidacy. He'd win in a landslide.
He simply can't do it. For months, he's had the opportunity to speak imaginatively and passionately about America, the individual and possibility.
So, he fights for his life in the GOP primary losing to a guy who at least believes something. Santorum, is rather annoying but he at least believes the conservative rhetoric he speaks about.
Is Santorum a big-government guy? Yep. He's G.W. Bush part deux. GOP base voters are deciding that's better than Obama-lite.
Mitt Romney could have had it all and a lot easier, but he just can't close the deal. He just can't sell conservative…anything.
Bethany Mandel has some advice for the Romney team:
If Romney can't shake the perception others have of him, this will be a replay of the 2000 Gore campaign. In the summer before the 2000 election, the Washington Post reported that 65 percent of Americans thought Gore's "stiffness" was a problem for his campaign, and the same amount of voters said the word "inspiring" did not apply to him. Leading up to the 2000 election, "Saturday Night Live's" number one caricature of Gore was how Romney will be portrayed if he becomes the nominee: A robot. With a public relations shop as bad as Romney's, get ready for some reruns.
Go read the whole thing.
And, via TPM, ugh:
The Romney V. Santorum Cage MatchTuesday, February 14th, 2012
Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum throwing down. They will cut…
Oh, who are we kidding? This is the prissiest primary slap fight anyone could imagine. When pressed, both whine. When criticized, both wear their persecution complex like a hounded high school nerd.
This primary is insufferable and has been. There shouldn't be an enthusiasm gap in the primary, yet here we are.
What is amusing in this situation: All the die-hard defenders of both men.
I don't get it.
Don't you have to feel ardently about someone in order to defend their honor? Who feels passionately about these guys?
Romney feels passionately about nothing.
Santorum feels passionately about everything.
Consequently, it's difficult to prioritize. It's difficult to latch onto an issue and identify with either candidate.
Neither man is a bad man. In fact, they both seem to be quite good people.
They're just throwbacks to a former GOP mentality where the government solved almost everything in not so stark contrast to liberals who were quite sure they knew how to make the world right with the government.
It's too bad we have these men at this time. We could really use a dedicated conservative willing to articulate passionately conservative values and push forth a grand vision for a self-reliant America.
Unfortunately, we don't have a man or woman like that still in the running.
We have Mitt and Rick.
Both men are incremental and concerned about trimming around the edges. Both men practices a big government interventionism.
But they're conservative in practice, you say.
Yeah, so is Barack Obama. He has the high expectations, early bedtime and family man image. He has the rather boring demeanor and technospeak that puts one to sleep.
Philosophically, politically and policy-wise, though, Barack Obama wants to make the world "fair", he wants to save those who he deems needs saving, he wants to make sure the government is nudging people in a certain direction to achieve a certain kind of behavior.
Is that very different than Romney or Santorum? Using the government to achieve big ends?
It's time for the government to BUTT OUT. It's time for a leader to be responsible.
On Mike Koolidge's radio program, I asked where the candidate is who articulates (forget Reagan's vision) but John F. Kennedy's vision,"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."
Where is that guy? He's nowhere in this primary and he's certainly not Barack Obama.
So. We have a slap fight over trivialities for the GOP primary when we should be having a cage match over ideas and big visions.
Enthusiasm gap? It's downright depressing.
Mitt's Cap-N-Trade And Environment ProblemsMonday, December 5th, 2011
So the
blogger journalist at the WaPo in Mitt's hip pocket points out Newt's problems on Cap-n-Trade. And I'll grant everyone, there's a there there. But it's not like the Most Favored Candidate is pristine.
Consider this from the WaPo itself (the other part of the paper not the Mitt 2012 Cheerleading section) about Mitt and global warming, "The fact that he doesn't change his position . . . that's the upside for us," said one Romney adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak on behalf of the campaign. "He's not going to change his mind on these issues to put his finger in the wind for what scores points with these parts of the party."
So, like Obamacare, Mitt's sticking with his principles…of manmade global warming.
And there's this:
2005: Romney Endorsed Regional Cap And Trade System, Saying "This Is A Great Thing For The Commonwealth … We Can Effectively Create Incentives To Help Stimulate A Sector Of The Economy And At The Same Time Not Kill Jobs. … I'm Convinced It Is Good Business." "Governor Mitt Romney signaled his support yesterday for a regional agreement among Northeastern states to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, despite opposition from power companies and other business interests that have been lobbying the administration against the plan. In opening remarks to a clean-energy conference in Boston, Romney said the first-of-its-kind agreement, under which Massachusetts and eight other states could be required to cut power plant emissions by 2020, will not hurt the economy, as some have charged. He argued that it would spur businesses to develop clean — and renewable-energy technology to market worldwide. 'This is a great thing for the Commonwealth,' Romney said, his strongest endorsement of the pact to date. 'We can effectively create incentives to help stimulate a sector of the economy and at the same time not kill jobs.'… Romney said yesterday that he had some concerns about the agreement, known as the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, but he endorsed this and other clean-energy initiatives by saying they would stimulate the development of technology that Massachusetts companies could sell to other states and countries, as the emphasis on climate change grows. 'I'm convinced it is good business,' Romney said." [Boston Globe, 11/8/05>]
Everyone knows that Newt and Mitt bought the leftist clap-trap about the man-made part of what is also known as normal climate changes. And had Mitt gone the Pawlenty route and said, "You know what? I screwed up." Well, I wouldn't like it, but I would forgive it. I did Pawlenty, anyway. (What I couldn't forgive was Pawlenty not taking Mitt out on Obamacare when he had the chance. Come. On!)
And the reason why buying this junk science was and is such a big deal is that all sorts of policy "solutions" to non-existent "problems" would cost taxpayers a lot of money. And even still, it is anyway.
We have stupid light bulbs foisted on us by stupid government regulations. We have stupid EPA regulations that are killing all sorts of potential jobs.
And the Obama administration is making it worse with folks who worked for Romney.
So, yes, Newt has a problem and so does Mitt.
Are we to pretend that these guys won't be swayed by every wind of leftist doctrine? They've been swayed too much.
Meanwhile, Mitt Still Can't WinMonday, October 31st, 2011
In all of the Herman Cain hub-bub, George Will's very thoughtful (and obvious) point that Mitt Romney can't win the nomination gets lost.
For those who missed it, here's what George Will said:
Romney, supposedly the Republican most electable next November, is a recidivist reviser of his principles who is not only becoming less electable; he might damage GOP chances of capturing the Senate. Republican successes down the ticket will depend on the energies of the Tea Party and other conservatives, who will be deflated by a nominee whose blurry profile in caution communicates only calculated trimming.
Republicans may have found their Michael Dukakis, a technocratic Massachusetts governor who takes his bearings from "data" (although there is precious little to support Romney's idea that in-state college tuition for children of illegal immigrants is a powerful magnet for such immigrants) and who believes elections should be about (in Dukakis's words) "competence," not "ideology." But what would President Romney competently do when not pondering ethanol subsidies that he forthrightly says should stop sometime before "forever"? Has conservatism come so far, surmounting so many obstacles, to settle, at a moment of economic crisis, for this?
No one wants to talk about this little detail.
Romney will do fine with some independents but 75% of his own party does not like him. This matters. This matters for volunteers, ground game and enthusiasm.
Anyway, I said this a month ago and I say it again, Mitt is a problematic candidate for Republicans and a dream for Democrats.
Mitt Romney: The New McCainWednesday, September 7th, 2011
Last night, conservative commentators Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham made news for telling Sarah Palin, "To fish or cut bait." A friend on Twitter said,"If Sarah Palin has lost Laura Ingraham and Ann Coulter…." To which, I responded that Sarah Palin never had Coulter or Ingraham. Ann has been jonesin' for Chris Christie–whom I would bet she doesn't believe it's too late for him to enter the race. Laura is predisposed to Romney.
What struck me about the talk about Sarah Palin, though, was that it really wasn't about Sarah Palin at all. The Ann-Laura analysis was only about Sarah Palin to the extent that Ann and Laura believe Sarah Palin, or conservatives like her, are unelectable.
Many, if not most DC conservative pundits believe that only a moderate, middle-of-the-road guy can win the election.
I disagree. In fact, I think a center-right moderate is very nearly a sure loser in the 2012 election. Specifically, I think Mitt Romney is a troubled candidate. Here's why:
Social conservatives don't trust Romney.
Think that's no biggie? Social conservatives voted against John McCain in the Republican primary. They thought he was weak candidate. They found him untrustworthy. Sound familiar? Mitt Romney has flip-flopped on the abortion issue depending on what's politically convenient. A great way to suppress turnout among social conservatives, again, is to have a weak candidate, again.
Small government types (aka Tea Party) don't trust Romney.
They see Romneycare and flee for the hills. It's not that they mind Massachusetts residents binding themselves with their own velvet handcuffs, it's that they don't like the big government impulse Mitt Romney has that would see the government as a better solution than the private sector. Over and over, the government has shown itself to be unwise stewards and yet Mitt Romney trusted the government to control a big portion of each citizen's life. Romneycare is a failure.
Evangelicals don't trust Romney.
I live in Texas. Don't shoot the messenger. Many religious conservatives see the Church of Latter Day Saints as a cult. My choice after Fred Thompson in 2008 was Mitt Romney. Evangelicals? Well, they loved Mike Huckabee–who I viewed as a charlatan. No matter. People worry about a conservative winning the north. Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Romney winning the south?
Romney as milquetoast.
John McCain refused to go negative on Barack Obama. Afraid of being cast as racist? Probably. Still hoping for fawning press? Definitely. I see the same streak of public weakness in the face of what's going to be a brass-knuckled campaign from Romney. Now, the Romney campaign is dirty. No fear there. It's the perception that I'm talking about. Passive aggressive, below-the-belt punching by proxies will be de riguer with a Romney campaign. Fine. That's politics, too. This year, though, the GOP candidate needs to be willing to scrap openly with Obama. This is, of course, why people like Ann Coulter yearn for a Chris Christie candidacy. They know that the populace wants to see some fight. They want a happy warrior. Mitt Romney seems like a bland banana in contrast to a rather boring Obama.
A word about, strategy and messaging. In 2008, one of the arguments against Sarah Palin as Vice President, and the only one I saw as even mildly valid, was that Sarah Palin's short term as Governor would undermine the experience argument with Barack Obama. No, it was not fair, because she'd been in public service for years, because she was the Vice Presidential nominee and he was the presidential nominee, etc. Still, the people who blew up that argument (namely Dems and the DC GOP Smartypants Set) are the same ones saying Mitt Romney is an awesome candidate.
Well, a Romney candidacy effectively neutralizes the single most hated legislation ever passed in the history of America. From a strategic perspective, having Romney as the nominee is just stupid. The left can say, accurately, that Obamacare was built off the Romneycare template and Romney loves (and still defends) Romneycare.
A conservative candidate, in contrast, will be able to show the differences both rhetorically and in action. Rick Perry is ideally suited to do this. Conservative policies have created a haven in Texas. The contrast to liberal policies nationwide, and in Massachusetts, is easily defined and patently obvious.
It's conventional wisdom that a Romney campaign is a shoe-in to win in the general election. The conventional wisdom is, as it was with McCain, wrong. Mitt Romney has a deeply flawed campaign–one that counts on an awful Barack Obama, rather than a great conservative message. Again, this is reminiscent of the McCain candidacy. The "I-hate-Bush, too" wink-wink straddle wrapped in mild words for opponents and harsh words for allies does not win elections. The candidate this year will need the base to be fired up.
The base won't be fired up with a Romney campaign. They'll be angry at more of the same. They view the problem to be not just Democrat policies but the Republican acquiescence when faced with these policies.
A Mitt Romney candidacy would dishearten and fracture the Republican base.
Why doesn't anyone ever talk about that?
CNN Poll: Any GOP Candidate Nearly Beats President ObamaWednesday, April 14th, 2010
This CNN poll came out with great fanfare because it put Huckabee ahead of Romney and Palin. But when all three of these folks are put up against President Obama, this is the result:
What about the hypothetical general election matchup in 2012 against President Obama?
The poll shows Obama topping Romney 53 percent to 45 percent, beating Huckabee 54 percent to 45 percent, defeating Gingrich 55 percent to 43 percent and topping Palin 55 percent to 42.
"It is important to remember that at this stage of the game, candidate matchups are largely driven by name recognition, and at least a quarter of all Americans are unfamiliar with Romney, Huckabee and Gingrich. As a result, Obama has an 8- to-12-point edge over each of them in hypothetical matchups," adds Holland. "But in a previous CNN poll, Obama managed no better than a tie against an unnamed Republican."
But there is something more than name recognition at work in Obama's big lead over Palin.
"Palin is almost as well known as Obama, but the general public appears to have some doubts about what they have seen of her so far," says Holland.
Hmmm…. Well, for being so unqualified, she's almost neck in neck with Huckabee and Romney and that's very interesting.
She has a couple years to demonstrate her qualifications. And if things get bad enough, her optimistic attitude might well be enough.
Hotair has more.
What Was Wrong At The Southern Republican Leadership Conference?–UPDATEDMonday, April 12th, 2010
What a weird conference. There. I said it. The Tea Party received the biggest cheers. The Republicans bashed their own party. Attendees were optimistic and cheerful. Politicians were purposeful and focused on 2010–a marked shift from the usual perspectives at SRLC which has been a conference that gives voters a first look at potential Presidential candidates. Ron Paul's groupies were suitably worshipful and idealistic. Mitt Romney's posse were mission-focuses as always. But something was off.
It wasn't the city or weather. New Orleans was more beautiful than I have ever seen it and the weather was perfect. Food? A+. Gambling? I wouldn't know, but people had fun. A shooting did clear a friend's restaurant, though–so it's the same old New Orleans we know and love.
It wasn't the venue or organization which was okay–although the scheduling was unorthodox. The speakers didn't get going until the afternoon every day while the delegates had various brunches. It made for an excellent blogging schedule.
What simmered below the surface of the event, though, made me uneasy. And it was who didn't attend the event that concerned me.
Eventually, Mitt Romney is going to have to show up at an conference with other political contenders. Will he get more cheers than Newt or Sarah or Mike Pence or Rick Perry? I know he's hoping to wait them all out, gather to himself a gagilliion dollars and be the presumptive nominee. That method worked in the past, will it work now?
Haley Barbour endorsed Charlie Crist who is miles behind Marco Rubio. Barbour was RNC chair during the 1994 revolution. Many of these old dogs are still around and enjoying power. They remember sweeping in and they don't want to be swept out.
The recent arm wrestling being done by the NRSC and NRCC against the RNC might actually be wasted effort. If donors are by-passing all of them and funding the Rubios of the world, the party bosses might matter less even as the give full-throated endorsements to establishment candidates who have zero chance of getting elected.
One Republican said to me, "It's like the Republicans are ten years behind the times. They're looking for women candidates, when the voters are beyond that."
What he meant was, the voters now, men and women, want a good candidate who follows, as Rick Perry mentioned, first principles. Gender matters little anymore. Beliefs matter most.
But first principles are inconvenient when an old-guard politician is trying to keep power and money. And so beneath a placid, optimist surface, there is struggling. The struggle would seem to be philosophical: big government Republicans against tax-assailing and small government conservatives with some Tea Party help.
Unfortunately, the struggle seems to be more base than that: who is going to man the ship when Republicans get power back in November? There are lots of Republicans angling for chairmanships and sweet deals and that seems to be a more important fight to them than fighting Democrats and a President who are trying to do to dismantle freedom and the American way.
Politics, like business, has many aging boomers who love their jobs. They don't want to give them up. Terrified of becoming relics and irrelevant, they fight like badgers to hold on to personal power while not paying attention to what they'll even be owning after they "win." If the establishment Republicans rip the party apart, they may have power in a party that no longer matters. Do they recognize this reality?
Many of the old guard are suspicious of the Tea Partiers and conservatives in general. Cozying up with small government types, makes keeping a big government difficult.
Bottom line, the leadership of the party isn't at the top anymore. The grassroots are leading, amoeba-like, toward a philosophical goal of smaller government, less taxation and more freedom. So far, no presumptive presidential candidate has taken on that mantal.
After the November mid-term elections, I expect a very wild presidential campaign. And while Mitt stuffed the ballot boxes at the Southern Republican Leadership Council, I don't think his place as the new face of the GOP is anywhere near certain.
The Republican party will change, people will give them one last chance, because voters burned themselves with Ross Perot going third party. But if the party isn't responsive to the base's concern after the last two years, I'm afraid there will be a new party building and the old guard will be manning an empty ivory tower.
Tabitha Hale has more. She has a controversial take on the opening speaker who decided that the most important issue facing the nation is gay marriage.
Here are some interviews I conducted at SRLC:
Texas Governor Rick Perry Talks Texas….And A National Run? Also here.
Ted Cruz, former Texas Solicitor General who has argued many cases before the Supreme Court (and won) discusses the possible legal approaches to get rid of Obamacare. Also here.
A great Republican running against Deborah Wasserman-Schultz: Learn about Brian Reilly here.
I also got to spend 10 minutes with Herman Cain. That video is still loading, but I'll add it to the cue.
Liza over at Culture Kitchen gives me a back handed compliment and then dismisses a Rick Perry run for President because of his secession hyperbole while extolling Mitt Romney.
One word: Jobs
Texas has them. No other state comes close.
One phrase: It's the economy stupid.
Rick Perry gets that, the Democrats don't.
Now, Perry may have no chance to get elected, I don't know. But please let's not pretend that Romney doesn't have baggage.
Can you say RomneyCare? And much as it pains me, his religion will still be a stopper for many people.
The press likes Romney way too much. Remember how they loved McCain? Yeah.

When many of us made the decision to become librarians we had no idea that we would need to stand up in front of a classroom and actually teach! This has been the trend, however, especially for librarians that work in higher education and have traditionally been known as reference librarians: From "bibliographic instruction" to "information literacy instruction." This shift has come along with the advent of the internet and students gaining access to more and more information on their own. The information used to be curated before being sought by patrons in libraries. Today, librarians are no longer only the curators and gatekeepers of the information - we have become the Sherpa to guide students along their research paths.
So what does this mean for the role of libraries and librarians in an age where so much doom and gloom is part of the popular rhetoric about the future of libraries? Where libraries have gone "bookless"? Librarians' roles are shifting but their expertise and skills are perfectly suited to the new roles in which they are finding themselves. More and more librarians are taking leadership roles in various efforts on campus that have traditionally not been considered the realm of librarians. Especially with the shift on many campuses from content centered to outcomes based and integrative learning. Just think about it. Librarians are by their very nature outcomes centered instructors (ACRL Instruction Librarian Proficiencies). Yes, there are many librarians who may work with specific departments on campus, focusing on certain disciplines, but when we went to library school we were focusing on skill building ourselves rather than content mastery. When we work with students we are focusing on teaching them research processes, critical thinking, questioning behaviors and more (ACRL Information Literacy Standards).
I often think about the alignment of the stars that seemed to be just right that fateful day when I was asked if I'd like to take a leadership role in the development of the ePortfolio program at my institution. A perfect storm had been brewing. Major changes to the general education curriculum were taking place. A pedagogical shift from content based to learner centered and outcomes focused instruction was at the heart of the new general education curriculum. Recent collaborations between key players on campus had created an amazing new community of practice revolving around pedagogy and academic technology and I had just begun my instructional technology and design certificate program.
The size and culture of my institution was also a key reason that I was able to take on such a role. Our institution has a small but amazing Center for Teaching & Learning that looks beyond their walls for partners to help them on new ventures. We had no instructional designers or technologists (we still do not have anyone filling that role in a full time capacity - but I think we're headed in that direction) but we have an amazing group running the Academic Computing department who are always willing to experiment with new tools. The library at our institution falls under the Information Services division and this has caused much collaboration and strong relationship building. What it also did was allow the librarians a huge resource when we wanted to use technology in our work.
Much of the library's mission revolves around instructional activities be they teaching in a classroom, one on one instruction at our research desk or creating instructional objects for those students who seek out research assistance online. These activities allow us to experiment with teaching technologies, become experts in some of these technologies and finally share our experiences and expertise with other instructors on campus through a Center for Teaching and Learning, Academic Computing and Library partnership. This partnership became our Community of Practice.
The ePortfolios at our institution are learning outcomes focused – Student Success, Effective Communication, Critical Thinking, Ethical Reasoning, Diversity Awareness and Information Literacy. The students create an ePortfolio from a template that provides them with pages categorized under each of the learning outcomes. The students focus their portfolio work on the assignments they do across four courses their freshman year which are all aligned to the common learning outcomes. The students will select certain assignments from their courses and upload them according to learning outcome and then write reflections on their progress on that learning outcome based on the assignment they had. (For more than you ever wanted to know including some initial assessment information – check out this presentation from the 2014 FYE Conference)
Can you imagine the excitement of the librarians at discovering that our push for Information Literacy had been included as one of the learning outcomes? Because of this inclusion we are able to take part in the assessment of the ePortfolios and have been able to provide our take on the instructional effectiveness of all the learning outcomes. This has been an amazing and eye opening experience for us as we are able to read the reflections and see what kinds of assignments and classroom experiences have the most resonance regarding information literacy. We are able to take the information we find and create student experiences that will provide more effective learning. Additionally, we have found our input to be appreciated and sought by our community of practice and beyond. Many faculty members now seek out a librarian when creating and grading assignments that include Information Literacy as a learning outcome.
So when thinking about ePortfolio experts and communities of practice on your campus consider including librarians if you haven't done so already. Us librarians are a collaborative and experimental bunch. We like new challenges and we are predisposed to skill building and learning outcomes based instruction. We can also provide perspectives that may not have been considered. And you may build some fantastic collaborative relationships in the process!

James Roche, the Info Products Guy, spoke with our listeners Wednesday on our Conversations with Experts Teleseminar series, about creating informational products for earning passive income and for marketing your services.
He advocates audio recording teleclasses and seminars, having them transcribed and then rewriting them to turn them into stand alone products your readers can buy.
Or, if you aren't doing classes, take one of your main services or processes that you go through with your clients and outline it to form an ebook or special report.
Whether you give it away for free as a way to get people to understand your work better, or whether you sell it for a small price, you are growing your database. You can then announce bigger ticket items to these people (the product funnel metaphor).
Here are his four simple questions to get started on an info product:
1. Why? The benefits and motivation
2. What? Just the facts, m'am
3. How? The steps in bullet points
4. What if? How to apply questions and concerns
Actually, these four steps are a good exercise when writing an article or copy for a sales letter. Benefits first, features next, list the main points or steps, and then conclude with repeating the application's benefits and answering any other questions.

Keywords: Apartment
We have stayed at this apartment 4 times over the years and the next time we come to Paris we hope it is still available. It has everything you need A comfortable bed, good wifi, a dishwasher, a washing machine plenty of clean towels, The owner is lovely, There will be wine, juice, cookies, chocolate and fruit on your arrival There is a wonderful bakery across the street and great restaurants in the area. The metro is steps away , and there are good bus routes very close. the location is very central and many museums are walkable We have always been very happy with our visits I A great choice
It is hard to say enough good things about this apartment: clean, spacious, well lit, nicely renovated and decorated while maintaining the charm of a traditional French apartment (high ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors), comfortable bed with quality linens and plenty of towels provided in the bathroom (a rarity in France apartment rentals from much experience), well equipped kitchen, great location, and very responsive proprietors. Anna, our principal contact for this apartment, went the extra mile on more than one occasion to provide us some additional assistance that we needed.
There is no elevator in the building but the apartment is located on the 1st floor of the building (one level above the entry level) so there are only a minimal number of stairs to negotiate and the apartment looks out into an inner courtyard. Private, secure and very quiet.
This is our "go to" apartment in Paris – three weeks in June this year and 2 month stays in 2 prior years. It is easy to feel right at home quickly in this apartment and enjoy living like a local for a brief period of time.
At the risk of the apartment being rented when we are next in Paris, I would recommend this apartment to anyone who wants to experience the best that Paris has to offer.
Bob and Linda
Really nice apartment. Great location... clean and secure! I've stayed here many times before. It's great!
This lovely courtyard apartment in the Marais is delightful to the eye with all the comforts of home. Quite Chic but also quiet and comfortable, I couldn't have hoped for more. The bathroom has tons of storage so that everyone has a place to store their toiletries. It also has a great bathtub that was amazing after walking all day. To top it off, the wonderful mattress and crisp sheets were heaven after a long day. We slept well,tucked away from the street noise. The owners have set this flat up to be an superlative rental. The flat has 2 big closets with tons of hangers, plenty of nice linens and towels and a fully stocked kitchen for cooking. There is a place for everything. You really feel like this is your own home. The only thing I would suggest to the owner is that you put a comfortable sofa where the glass table is. It would create a comfortable seating area in the living room.
We had a very warm welcome! We arrived to find a bowl of fruit and chocolates, a bottle of wine, milk and water. We were able to refuel after our day of travel and hit the streets of Paris.
The location was perfect! I can't stress this enough! The Place de vosges is just down the street. There isn't a prettier square in Paris. We even found a vegan cafe on this square, as well as a health food store a few doors down from the apt. The Picasso museum is also close by. Don't miss the Pompidou! It's also fairly close and a nice walk from the Marais. I've come to think of the Marais as the "downtown"of Paris. A bit like the Village, Soho and Tribeca feel in NYC.
I highly recommend this location for those who want a more authentic experience. We avoided the crowed touristy sites and got everything we needed downtown.
If you're looking for a solid, comfortable, beautiful apt for your trip to Paris, this is the place!
We really enjoyed our stay at Marie's in Paris. The kitchen had everything you needed and the welcoming beverages and snacks when we arrived were a very nice touch. The bathroom was wonderful and we used the sitting room quite a lot to relax. I accidentally forgot some of my clothes at the apartment and they were promptly mailed to be which really went above and beyond. Love this apartment and it's Just a block to place DES voges, our favorite place in Paris!
We were very impressed with the apartment and all of the special touches. White fluffy bathrobes, a bottle of wine, chocolates and fresh fruit welcomed us upon arrival. Even the refrigerator was stocked with water, milk and Coca Cola! The apartment itself was spacious and beautifully appointed. White crisp linens, a very comfortable bed and plenty of towels made our stay feel like home. The neighborhood is quiet and steps from a bakery, Bien ( gourmet grocer) and many cafes. We used both the Chenin Vert and Bastille metro stops very near to the apartment. We also felt very safe in this neighborhood and in the apartment. We would not hesitate to stay here again!

The problem
In many countries, the approach to assessing the cost of crime and its prevention lacks rigour and is highly subjective. A more rigorous, scientific approach to the collection, collation and analysis of data would help to ensure the most effective use of manpower and financial resources. Where good practice is identified, it needs to be highlighted and encouraged throughout the EU.
The aim of MMECC is to extend awareness of methodologies for estimating the costs of crime.

Petulance of the Day: Jermaine Beckford (Leeds) vs Southampton
This gesture takes me straight back to my school days.
Leeds United took on Southampton in League One on Saturday, and for a long period of the match it appeared that a stalemate would materialise with neither side able of breaking the deadlock. With 16 minutes remaining Lilywhites' boss Simon Grayson then made a bold move as he withdrew his top goalscorer Jermaine Beckford from the match in search of the elusive winner.
Unhappy with his manager's decision, Beckford reacted like a spoiled child once his number was lit up on the substitution board as he slowly trudged off the pitch with all the body-language of a moody teenager.
The highlight of Beckford's strop though came as the 26-year-old mimicked a common cuss of children. The Leeds striker pushed his finger to his temple and began wiggling around to depict the classic "mental" message to his boss.
After the match Grayson was forced to respond to his star striker's behaviour, commenting "I am disappointed when that sort of situation happens, but any decision I make is for the benefit of the football club. I am prepared to take off my leading goalscorer if I feel it is the right decision to make… I've had a brief chat with Jermaine and I will speak to him again on Monday. We will deal with it internally and get to the bottom of it but these things happen all the time."
Jermaine Beckford's petulant behaviour on being subbed can be seen 35 seconds in this video.

My kids love going to school using electric scooters because their scooters allow them to get there without needing to pound the pavement. If your kids are old enough to operate electric scooters safely, they may also enjoy using these fun modes of transportation in order to get to class on time.
Electric scooters are practical, they are quite affordable (in most cases) and they have a lot of advantages. For example, they are easy to operate and they don't take up much space, so they making parking a total breeze. Your child may feel empowered by ownership of a scooter. If your budget is a factor, consider buying one scooter for your kids and then letting them take turns riding it.
Before you send your kids to school on electric scooters, they will need to prove that they can operate these modes of transportation safely.
Different Scooter Types are Available
However, there are different styles of electric scooters. High school students might like the types that are classified as "ride on". They are like smaller versions of motorbikes. Younger kids may like electric scooters that come with handles, which they step on in order to ride.
Bear in mind that electric scooters without handles are subject to plenty of controversy these days. They are probably not safe choices for kids, as they do tend to trigger a lot of falls. As well, some of them are fire hazards and many styles have been pulled off of the market for this reason.
So, for now, until safer scooters without handles are available, stick with electric scooters with handles. They are best if you have younger children who want to get to school without walking there. Scooters are fun to use and kids find them exhilarating to ride. If you have older kids, consider ride-on electric scooters. They are more appropriate for teens or young adults (such as college-age students).
Kids are usually in a rush to get to school. Mornings are busy and they may be stressful. Providing your child with an electric scooter will help him or her to get to school faster, so it will open up more free time in the morning. This time may be used in order to make breakfast, do personal grooming, check homework or spend a bit of quality time with the family. Our family really benefits from owning a couple of electric scooters.

Panel 1 Of A Hearing Of The Trade Subcommittee Of The House Ways And Means Committee: Trade With China, Currency, Food Safety
SEN. STABENOW: Well, thank you, Mr. Chairman, to all the committee members.
It's wonderful to see you and I very appreciate the opportunity to talk with you today about something that I know, Mr. Chairman, you have been involved with -- issues like currency manipulation long before we knew what the phrase was. So I thank you very much, and I'm very pleased also that Congressman Bart Stupak, Congressman Joe Knollenberg are here. We care deeply at the Michigan Delegation without regard to partisanship about what is happening to our great state -- the people, the jobs, the businesses. And we come together, I know, with one voice. I also want to thank Congressman Hunter and Congressman Ryan for introducing very important legislation related to countervailing duties. I'm pleased to join in a bipartisan basis with Senator Jim Bunning to introduce that bill in the Senate and we are hopeful that working together, we will be able to make that a part of comprehensive legislation related to currency manipulation.
In the Senate -- as a member of the Senate Finance Committee, I'm the one member that represents the manufacturing Midwest. So I feel a particular responsibility to speak to what is happening to manufacturing in our state and in the country, and I am particularly concerned today. I appreciate being asked to speak about currency manipulation not just with China -- although we certainly speak of China, and for good reason. But I also must add to that Japan and other countries that are doing the same. And in fact, Japan -- as it relates to the auto industry -- as the chairman knows -- is a serious, serious issue.
Michigan has lost one-quarter of our manufacturing work force -- over 250,000 good-paying jobs -- middle-class jobs -- and we have seen our unemployment rate go from 3.7 percent to 7.2 percent -- an alarming rate, the highest in the country and we know that this is part of what is happening nationally, where we have lost over three million manufacturing jobs nationwide, and the real median wage has actually decreased. And I know that trade is not the only issue. We know that, Mr. Chairman. We know there are other challenges -- addressing health care costs and investing in education and innovation -- but it's an irrefutable fact that trade violations are a very big, negative impact on manufacturing and of -- costing us jobs.
And I know we have had for years this debate about open trade versus protectionism. But I think that's a very old debate, Mr. Chairman. I think we're well beyond that. My cell phone, my Blackberry, my computer can jump any wall anyone would put up. The issue is front of us is whether or not we're going to have level -- a level playing field and whether or not we in the United States will be smart about what we do in this global economy to make sure our businesses have an equal chance. And we all know that if they do, they will compete and they will win. We know that countries like China and Japan are cheating, creating artificially low prices for their goods by manipulating currency as well as other unfair trade practices. And in real world terms, it's simple. The same good made with the same materials will cost up to 40 percent less when made in China solely because of currency misalignment. That is wrong.
The choice many business people confront is either to lay off workers in the United States or move the production to China or other offending countries to neutralize the price disadvantage and neither one of those is good for America. Either way, our economy loses.
Last week, the Senate Finance Committee approved a bill that's a step in the right direction and I urge your consideration as it comes to you. And I want to commend Senator Baucus, Senator Grassley, Senator Schumer, Senator Lindsey Graham for working together on that bill.
The bill's most important provisions allow the International Trade Commission to factor in currency misalignment when calculating antidumping cases. I think this is a very important step, but I also believe we can do more. I believe we must provide the additional tool of countervailing duties which go directly after the subsidies foreign governments provide their exporters. By making currency misalignment a countervailing duty subsidy, we will put pressure on governments like China and Japan to change their policies. Having both antidumping and countervailing duties I believe is important. Not only because countries have misaligned currencies, but because they could maneuver around just one remedy possibly. They also need to know that countervailing duties is an option because for some businesses, that may be their only option. In fact, once a country's currency has been shown to be misaligned, and used as an illegal subsidy, which it is, these facts can be easily applied to multiple cases, which also addresses reducing the cost for other business. Saves times and saves money both of which our companies need.
Additionally, if currency manipulation is deemed an illegal subsidy, there is no easy way for countries to escape the penalties. It's not enough however just to have these remedies on the books as we know. Time and time again the administration has waived penalties. As a former member of the Senate Banking Committee, I listened to the treasury secretary repeatedly refuse to say the obvious, that China manipulates its currency. Therefore, we must limit the administration's discretion when it takes time to action -- to take action.
Finally, I'd like to address two frequent criticism of including both anti-dumping and countervailing duties in the same bill or companion bills.
First, there's a debate about WTO compliance of countervailing duties. Frankly, no one knows, no one knows how the WTO will rule. But as you'll hear from members of the third panel, there are many experts who believe countervailing duties are consistent with our WTO obligations. There's also no reason to believe that the U.S. would have to strike both remedies if one of the remedies was ruled as non- compliant. I'm currently working on language that would clarify this issue so that if one action would be ruled out of compliance, the other remedy would remain valid and in tact, and that's eminently doable for us.
Second, some have raised the issue of double counting, that you can't penalize a country for the same action twice. I believe this argument is flawed. Under U.S. law, when both the anti-dumping order and a countervailing duty order are in effect on the same good, the amount of the countervailing duty is added to the exporter's prices that reduces the dumping margin and prevents any double counting.
Mr. Chairman, in summary, by limiting administration discretion and by including both antidumping and countervailing duties in our enforcement toolbox, I believe we will give our effective companies both large and small the necessary tools to fight currency misalignment. And I'm very pleased that both the Senate Finance Committee and the Senate Banking Committee have acted to address this issue, which is a critical jobs issue for us as you know. And I am absolutely convinced that if we work together, we can create the toughest laws possible to support American businesses and American workers. They are looking to us and we own them no less.
I thank you again for giving me the opportunity to share my thoughts.

German super-tuner AC Schnitzer will soon start selling its new tuning package for the refreshed 2008 BMW 6-Series coupes and convertibles.
As usual, the kit is not limited to visual enhancements and also includes a comprehensive power upgrade programs for both gasoline and diesel engines.
The 4.8-liter engine installed in the powerful 2008 BMW 650i may get its displacement increased to more appealing 5.1 liters so that its maximum power output jumps from 367hp to 411hp. Top speed is also increased from 215km/h to electronically limited 250km/h.
The oil-burning 2008 BMW 635d may also receive a significant power upgrade of 24hp reaching 310 horsepower. The number of horses under the hood may be not so overwhelming but the twin-turbo diesel's maximum torque, which is increased from 580Nm to 680Nm (505lb-ft), certainly compensates the lack of hp's.
On the visual side, the ACS6 tuning kit consists of a new front fascia with a sharpened kidney grille, new rear spoiler, new side skirts and a sports rear silencer with chromed tailpipe finishes. A set of 20-inch Type VI alloys finishes the picture.
As always, the Germans managed to create a well-balanced tuning program that not only improves capabilities of the vehicle, but also correct numerous exterior design mistakes made by BMW. While the original vehicle reminds an old shark on a high fat diet, the new body kit makes the sports car look like a lean and mean predator ready to catch its prey in a single deadly spurt.

Arbitrator makes welcome decision to disregard the long-debated salvage distinction
In a recent appeal, the Lloyd's open form appeal arbitrator, Sir David Steel, has revisited the salvage danger known as "immobilised until professionally assisted" and the long-debated fine distinction as to whether or not "professional" assistance is required in different situations which impacts on the remuneration for salvage.
In cases involving rescue by towage or simple refloating of an immobilised vessel, the physical risk to which a vessel is exposed is often minimal. The weather may be benign, the hull may be intact and the vessel may not be at risk of damage. The only danger to which she is exposed is immobilisation. In such a situation the distinction between immobilisation requiring a professional salvor and some less serious immobilisation is an important one, as it has a significant impact on the financial level of the award.
The recent Evanthia M case helps to clarify this. The appeal arbitrator dispensed entirely with this long-debated distinction holding that it was "unreal or at least as lacking any useful specificity".
The facts were unremarkable: the vessel suffered an engine breakdown which was irreparable at sea. A salvage tug was engaged and the vessel was towed to safety. The salvage arbitrator had held that "this small casualty required a simple and straightforward towage service in the benign conditions of the Mediterranean in summer. The service was well within the capabilities of any relatively modest tug with a towing capability".
The arbitrator therefore rejected the submission by contractors that a reasonably prudent and skilful person would not refuse an offer of help from a professional salvor.
The appeal arbitrator later found that it was not possible to make such a "demarcation in any reliable or coherent manner".
Sir David Steel held that: "Of course the quality of the services required by a vessel in the salvage context will have a significant impact in the assessment of any award. If success is achieved, the remuneration will reflect the skill and efforts of the salvors, the time used and expenses incurred, the risks run, the promptness, the availability and use of equipment and the date of readiness and efficiency of the salvors' equipment and values. The greater the extent to which quality services are rendered, the more likely they are being performed by entities which can claim professional status.
"But I do not subscribe to the view that it is possible to justify a step change in terms of dangers from a vessel needing assistance to a vessel needing substantial assistance."
The appeal arbitrator was aware that the alleged rationale for the distinction was that the use of non-professional salvors carries with it a risk of further damage to the casualty, but he considered that "it does not justify some clear distinction between professional assistance and the rest".
While the removal of the distinction between "professionally assisted" and "assisted" is likely to be controversial, it is a welcome change which reflects the fact that those engaged in salvage services are often the same as individuals involved in commercial towage contracts.

- Custom Skis
- RX Custom
Product Description
The RX has remained a favorite of Praxis Skis ever since it was introduced. It was our love for big-mountain lines and lettin' em ride that inspired us to develop a ski with the surface area of a powder ski that is still versatile, holds a solid edge in variable snow, and can carve up the groomer on the way back to the lift. It has a longer sidecut running length, 116mm waist and just the right tip rocker to go along with the 141mm tip, and no tail rocker. It was Lars Chickering Ayers ski of choice in his domination of the fourth stop of the 2014 Freeride World Tour, and has also been proclaimed as the one-ski-quiver by numerous RX enthusiasts.
The Standard Edition RX is offered in a #4 flex.
Custom Suggestions:
- The RX skis its best in a #3 or #4 flex. Select the #3 custom flex for a less aggressive, more playful, all around fun RX. Or... If you are more into charging big lines go with the #4. Lars likes his RX in the #5 stiff flex, so if you are a hard charging bad-ass like Lars try out the custom #5 flex.

About Detroit
"Detroit is a wonderful city." "Very underrated."
"It's affordable enough you can live downtown in a condo on a resident's salary."
These are quotes from surgeons in our residency program, taken from the surgical residency introductory video. But don't just take our word for it. Explore the pictures and the links you'll find in this section of our website, and decide for yourself. Be warned: It's addictive! But in the nicest possible way.
Yes, as of this writing there are issues with the city's financing and management, but those issues are finally and definitely being addressed. Meantime, there are so many grass-roots and corporate initiatives — from arts and music festivals, Red Bull air races, motor racing and hydroplane racing grands prix to community gardening and urban farming — to make Detroit not just a better place, not just a good place, but a truly world-class place to live, work, and play. The rennaissance is already well under way.
