Facebook: More rich people. Just what we need.
So Facebook is going public, and a homeless artist is going to get $200 million. Nice. And a company that has spent eight years spying on your private life (with your consent, of course, although admit it, you didn't know exactly how the data mining worked and how much these folks now know about you) is going to pick up a few billion dollars for selling your secrets to advertisers. Thank you for using Facebook.
This is, of course, supposed to be great news for the state, since all of those folks who get rich off stock options will eventually sell some of the stock and pay a capital gains tax, and then they'll pay sales taxes on the fancy cars and houses they buy, and we should be so fucking happy that the great wealth will trickle down to the rest of us, since Mitt Romney has made it clear that it's unAmerican to complain about success.
I'm not complaining. Good for David Choe that he's going to instantly be a member of the 1 percent. And despite what the trolls on this site love to say, I don't hate rich people.
I just think they ought to pay fair taxes.
Because in the end, a lot of the people who get rich off Facebook were, frankly, in the right place at the right time. Let's take Mr. Choe. He just happened to accept stock instead of a few thousand dollars cash to paint a wall at a company the might not have gone anywhere. He might as well have bought a lottery ticket. Some of the folks at Facebook are immensely talented and should be rewarded; many of them are just the same as the employees at a thousand other companies, except that they happened to get hired by one that is going to make them rich.
Let's suppose that the state charged a capital gains tax of 35 percent on income of more than $10 million. Mr. Choe would wind up with $140 million instead of $200 million. I think he'd still do fine; his grandkids would never have to work. But the state would have an extra $50 million to, say, pay for housing and education so that other young artists wouldn't be homeless.
I'm glad Mark Zuckerberg has signed on with Bill Gates to give away half of his money. This is a wonderful thing. But charity isn't going to fix the mess that is the United States economy; it's not going to substantially narrow the gap between the rich and the poor (especially since a lot of this "charity" goes to places like Harvard University -- thank you Mr. Gates -- which don't exactly count as helping the truly needy).
No: Charity is fine as far as it goes, but this country desperately needs more money in the public sector -- yes, government -- to pay for things that charity typically doesn't (you think any of the Facebook crew are going to give $100 million to Muni?) and to reduce the wealth gap that is choking the economy to death.
And so far, what the folks in the tech world seem to want is more tax breaks.
Okay, now I'm going to post this on Facebook.
Choe is homeless by choice, not by circumstance. The New York Times described him this morning as "a very successful artist with gallery shows and pieces exhibited in major museums ... there is a trail of images of him partying with scantily clad women and spending large amounts of money on alcohol."
Thank you for putting this in perspective.
"Let's suppose that the state charged a capital gains tax of 35 percent on income of more than $10 million."
No, income is income, and gains are gains. You can't apply CGT to income and you can't apply income tax to cap gains. Two completely different things.
"many of them are just the same as the employees at a thousand other companies, except that they happened to get hired by one that is going to make them rich."
Again, wrong. These days, when choosing between job offers, it is crucial to assess the viability and potential of your employer. The good ones can make you a millionaire while the bad one other will fold and lay you off.
In other words, employees have to perform as much due diligence on their employers as vice versa. That takes skill and judgment, and not everyone has it.
Finally, if you really want to convince us that you don't hate rich people then don't title your piece "More rich people - just what we need" in that sarcastic way.
Anyone getting that much income is most definitely extremely lucky - in many different ways.
Call it income or gains or winning the lottery, but taxes are a fact of life and they are a good fact of life because govt wouldn't run without them. Ya know, govt - the entity that arrests robbers, that puts out fires, that licenses your car, that builds the public transit and highways and streets you ride on, that educates you and your kids, that does research that finds cures for cancer and other diseases, etc etc etc.
Tim, you're right. These people's incomes (I'm calling all gains, whether capital or not, income) that are above a certain level should be taxed at higher levels. That's called a progressive income tax and that's good because those higher rates only kick in for that portion of the income above the amount where the rate kicks in - income below that is not taxed at the higher rate. That's fair.
That tax money will then be available to fund the many necessary things govt does (I just listed a few of the necessary things govt does). And that, ultimately benefits those paying those taxes since their kids will have good schools to go to, there's money for police and fire, important R&D that funds new companies and new industries can take place, etc.
If you want a place without govt or the taxes that funds it, go move to Somalia.
He figured out which companies woud succeed. So did FaceBook employees. While those who went ot work for Enron were, well, dumb.
Do your due diligence. Or lose, loser.
He was lucky that he had family wealthy enough to invest their money with him. Without that, he could've had all the smarts in the world and not gone anywhere.
Along the way, he's made some good picks and he's made some really awful picks, like all of us. He was lucky that his good picks came at the beginning, and his awful picks came at times when he could afford to lose billions. Had it been the other way around, he'd be bankrupt and you'd never have heard about him. But you would've heard about someone else, who was just as smart. But because they made some bad picks initially, you don't hear about them because they did go bankrupt.
The rich love to accentuate how they worked hard yadda yadda yadda. Maybe there's an element of truth for some of them. I guess that if you're stupid and lazy, you're pretty much guaranteed to fail. But the dirty little secret about the American dream is that even if you're smart and hard-working, that's no guarantee at all that you'll succeed. Luck plays a huge role.
I've only known a very few people who would be considered very successful, but each of them had a real presence and energy.
When we start dismissing all success as luck, and therefore somehow undeserved, then we are on a national path ot mediocrity.
Part of what you see as presence comes as a *result* of success, not a cause. Wrap an ordinary shmuck in a suit, give him power... the ability to say "You're hired. You're fired," and he'll have "presence." And maybe he'll even develop "energy" too. Who wouldn't, when you have the power to lord over others, or at least the adulation of your peers and a job that showers you with money? You act the part of your station in life. This has been amply demonstrated in experiments.
And the other thing is that you'll say you deserve it. It's cognitive dissonance. Your brain is programmed so that it's difficult to see it any other way. And it's sort of understandable when you think about it. If you see others around you who are just as deserving, and yet you have so much more, a realistic outlook might make you conclude that you're being quite the swine. Much better to convince yourself that you're somehow "better."
I don't want to overemphasize the above. Not *all* is due to luck, and to argue against me as if that's what I'm saying, is to argue with a straw man. But I don't want to underemphasize it either, which is what we tend to do in America, aided in no small part by the elite who want us to see it that way. Of course they do. It benefits them. And they have the money to advance their version of the story.
I've known many successful people over the years. Some of them have done truly great things that others are unable to do. Most of them have not. But to a man, the one thing they all have in common is good fortune. And conversely I've known many unsuccessful people. Many of them have worked very hard, some of them are brilliant, but they've had some pretty bad luck.
There needs to be a balance in society. Meritocracy is important as an incentive for people to strive. But at the same time we need to maintain an safety net to mitigate the very significant effects of luck in personal outcomes. And the only way it can be maintained is by making sure that those who've been the most fortunate give back some of their good fortune to the society that allowed them to be so successful.
So you were inside his head when he came to that decision? Unless you are him, you weren't. Did he talk to you and explain his reasoning? Presumably no. So you don't know why he chose stock in FB.
So what if somebody from MySpace had called him instead. It's a similar company and had the head start which is almost always a huge advantage. Then what would that stock be worth? About nothing. So according to you, he's now a loser.
Fact of the matter is he had no idea what would happen to FB (or MySpace). He got extremely lucky - which my guess is he would happily admit to - to jump on a train that FB has become.
And there's no guarantee that FB will not lose its luster due to competitors or some knew format or whatever that catches on. Again look what happened to MySpace - they looked like they had the game won for good.
As for Warren Buffet, he had plenty of luck - especially when it mattered most, at the beginning. He's used good judgement since and built up his fortune over a long period of time so there's less luck than David Choi. But of course luck played a role with WB.
Fact is, there's no superman or superwoman out there. And a large % of people work reasonably hard but they didn't get some element of luck (usually many, and usually something that gets set in motion before the age of 20 that plays itself out eventually to fabulous wealth) that the multimillionaires or billionaires get.
The Koch bros are a good example of this. They inherit oil and chemical plants from their dad and build this element of luck that only a tiny % of the population is also a benefit of into billions of wealth.
But there's many examples less outlier than the Koch bros. The sons of and daughters of highly educated ppl that gets their kids a great education and sets them up to become millionaires are also lucky. They didn't choose their parents (or where they were born, etc).
So large income earners should be taxed - that portion of income above a very large number - at a very high tax rate (talking to you Mitt Romney!). They are doing good if they are at that tax rate and they are giving back to society which is only fair since they are the beneficiary of a stable society. In an unstable society, their wealth would be a fraction of what it is in a stable society.
It's that the poor pay too much.
I'm happy for Romney to pay 15% tax as long as I can too.
He'll still be paying far more tax than me. But I'm not out to punish him.
"this country desperately needs more money in the public sector"
No it doesn't.
"This country desperately needs less public sector."
There ya go.
Does the private sector educate most of the kids? Does the private sector pay for public transit and roads? Does it do basic medical research? Does it put out fires? Doesn't do any of those.
Of course it can't if it could but it would only do so if someone was paying for it. Lots of important things people won't pay for except via taxes. When it's public agencies doing these things, there's lots less invitations for corruption vs when a private co is doing them.
And my guess is you had no prob with GWB starting an unnecessary war in Iraq that will probably cost trillions. A war that was a give-away of many billions to the military - defense industry like Halliburton. A war that was started by a president at the same time he was cutting taxes - mostly to the benefit of those for which paying taxes was easiest in terms of its effects on their quality of life.
If we made those with extremely large incomes pay very high rates (as it was done in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s - three very properous decades for this country) and we had presidents that didn't get us into any wars and that cut the military budget big-time (by bringing home all the troops we have in all these countries), we'd be much better off.
How much have you given or pledged to charity (not to meantion the poor)?
19th century policies in a 21st century world will continue to fall short-a moratorium on increases in sales and employment taxes coupled with a 1% national VAT + 2% on services would be a start
isn't a whiney little shit trying to force them .
The successful give back and the losers just take. 'Twas ever so.
rates and give proportionally more to charity than rhe 'rich'.
no one whines louder than a rich person faced with a tax increases-
Even if we had just one flat rate of tax, the rich would still pay far more tax.
Zuckerberg just gave $100M to the Newark Public School system, and he's promised to do more philanthropic giving. That isn't giving to the public sector? That isn't addressing a societal mess? WTF?
So many will not recall the hysterics the Bay Guardian went into when Pete Wilson tried to tax free newspapers, I suppose making things more "fair" in the eyes of Pete Wilson, bot not more "fair" in the eyes of the Bay Guardian.
If Bruce had let the paper unionize, mixed with Pete Wilson's everyone should pay their fair share tax, at this point the Bay Guardian would be just a memory?
some people found a way to make some money, Redmond feels the need to change the rules to get some of that money and make things fairer.
Under the previous election system progressive got pummeled, so the system needed to be changed to make things fairer. Although the pummeling has just begun it seems.
There's a pattern here, somewhere.
that did not exist 20 years ago are given a pass because the tax code hasn't kept up
Thats why we pay innovators far more than we pay tax clerks.
Yes, I read the article. I'm happy that Zuckerberg gave money to a public school system; it's what more of these billionaires should do. Good for him.
But charity is about one person deciding where his or her money should go. Taxes are about a society, through its elected representatives, deciding collectively where excess wealth should go. Not a perfect system, elected officials are corrupt, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. But I would rather have at least a chance at pushing elected officials to make the right choices than to rely on the whims of a handful of rich people who get to decide which school systems and which other worthy recipients get the money.
Without going through a google search, I seem to recall that there were serious strings attached to his "charity." In exchange for his millions, Newark schools had to change certain things according to his personal ideas about education (which tend toward already tried and failed "free market" type "reforms.") In other words, it wasn't exactly "charity," but more of an agreement to use Newark kids as lab rats in his little experiment.
Tax breaks are designed to modify your behavior.
US foreign aid is usually to buy US goods.
Nobody does anything for nothing.
That's why I'm not a fan of paying for stuff with charity. For one thing, it's never enough. And sometimes it's counterproductive because it serves to take people's mind off the problem, as if it's somehow "taken care of," when it really isn't.
But there's a more fundamental problem. And that is democracy. Public schools should be controlled by and accountable to, the public. Every rich guy thinks the have awesome ideas, and they know better than the peons. Sometimes they do. Many times they don't (a lot of these "free market reforms" have proven to be complete disasters). But you know what? Even if their ideas are better, it's not their place to impose their ideas on others in a democracy.
In a democracy, we have school boards elected by the community who decide how to run things. In a properly functioning democracy, the Mark Zuckerbergs of the world pay their fair share of taxes to adequately fund the schools so that schools in poor communities can be just as good as those in rich communities. And if Mark Zuckerberg doesn't like the way the Newark school board is running things, then he can come to the meetings, get in line at public comment, and tell them his awesome ideas for making things better. And if he lives in Newark, he can vote against them the next time around if they don't listen. If his ideas are truly awesome, I'm sure most of the Newark community will agree and they'll elect a slate of "Zuckerberg's Most Awesome Ideas" candidates.
Well, at least that's the way it should work... *if* we had a functioning democracy as opposed to a pluto-kleptocracy.
precisely because there is no political interference or corruption or bribery etc.
The Gates Foundation spends it's money far more wisely than our government does, and I'd trust Gates to alleviate more suffering than a bunch of bureaucrats in cheap suits.
Ditto for Buffett, Zuckerberg etc.
just look at the record
far more good overseas than the US government.
on that standard
and your businesses is what taxation/equalization is all about- no one does it by themselves- taxes are used to continue to fund the civic and social infastructure that supports us and allows commerce to continue to function-taxes are used to mitigate negative impacts of business/social behavior as well- its absurd to think changes in the tax code punish sucess or will impoverish 'innovators'- the very rich will remain very rich no matter what happens
How much of a hardship do you think it is to have a villa in Bermuda and flick a finger at the rest of us?
look around- there are too many of them, thick like fleas, they like it here, and they will still be rich.
So happy! But really happy when they sell shares and it is tax time!
And in any event, they'll only pay 15% tax.
America isn't Cuba. Not yet anyway.
if you don't think so, just wait a year
These people worldwide give money to a company based in the Bay Area called facebook, then this company gives a lot of that money to people who live in the Bay Area that it employs, then these people spend this money in the Bay Area at places that employ other people in the Bay Area. At every step the government gets a cut, at every step money is agitating through the system.
What would the citizens of the area get out of higher state and federal taxes? Or even city taxes?
The federal and state taxes would take a majority out of the area. The city would just hand it over to the SEIU to never be seen again. The fringe lefts, "I want it because I want it" usually translates into handing more money over to unaccountable non profits and public employees. When it's all spent up they will be back for more.
The cost of a college education will keep climbing, the claims of spending more on 1 - 12 education will be a laugher, because that will never happen.
The left in this state have a certain base to pay off, and it's not any base that the average citizen is going to gain from being paid off.
e-comerce, than it is some how 'right' to tax shoes and glasses of beer. We havent kept up because the system is bought off through elections and lobbiest. The wealthy use the 'entitled public sector' to drive wedges in the working/middle class. Rich people laugh. !% National VAT and 2% on services. Restore the bankruptcy option for student loans and let financial institutions fail if they gamble and lose, just like the rest of us.
Isn't that we should tax transactions, it's that we should find a way to tax people who have money, because they have money, because he feels that he is owed it, because he has superior values to the rest of the world.
The system is lawyered and lobbyist upped from all sides, not just from business. The public sector is just part of that equation, defending the public sector and non profits while driving up taxes and fees isn't driving a wedge, it's pointing out that the citizens are footing the bill.
Footing the bill while the state's universities and community colleges get more costly and the roads fall apart. There will never be enough tax money to foot the bill for our progressives.
successful world leaders. Any other city on the planet would give an arm to have a company like FaceBook.
But no, of course, it's a bad thing because it doesn't fit with Tim's preference for losers and those who leech off those who work.
So sad; so pathetic.
The progressives really want to keep their little slice of the world in a perpetual state of run down, they really despise people getting ahead, unless it is success as an employee of the government.
They oppose all change that might create some sort of private sector that will employee people, while demanding more from hotels and other business that are forced to remain in the city.
It really is amazing and so counter intuitive that it's really hard to accept, but thats what it has turned out to be. Someone has some money, the left has used up all the money at the state and local level paying off their base, so they want some of that money, they want some rules changes so that they can get it. Not caving into their greed and servility to ever more expanding government is called trolling.
on a failed prison system while defunding the schools and community health services that address mental illnes, trauma, addiction and so on- wars on two fronts on the Republicans watch were waged without being paid for with tax inceases for the first time in our history- starting the death spiral of debt- blame the left? wow
You're a genius.
comment as usual renders your point moot
legislature has been controlled by democrats for a long time bro.
means the minority can block whatever it wishes- but keep fiddling-Rome is burning
Keep moving the bar back guest.
It's comical, elect democrats and they will adjust the budget priorities towards education, and then they keep getting outsmarted by the minority?
Entertaining, I usually vote democrat or not at all in most races, the number of republicans I have voted for in my life is numbered in the single digits. I have never been under the bizarre assumption that democrats didn't cater to a myriad of special interests. I have also never made these weird arguments about super majorities, because democrats hold such position in the state that they set the priorities. In the weak minded, democrats setting the priorities is meaningless.
the virulent ' no tax ' state republicans aren't outsmarting anyone - they are simply cleaving to their meal tickets - blocking simple needed tax increases - Dick Blum is loathsome policy wise- I am not naive- I believe he is a democrat
The thing that I am most constantly reminded of when I read tims articles is just how NOT_smart he is. No nuance, no big heavy thesis, just pure black and pure white. His blog posts have holes you could drive a semi through. Is there no "progressive" source of reading that is also intelligent, thought out?
Why don't you give us an example of what you mean? How do we know you're not just another troll whose only purpose is to bash progressives.

Jamal Marcus, a top linebacker recruit, has committed to the Ohio State Buckeyes. Marcus stars for Durham (N.C.) Hillside High school. He is rated a four-star prospect, and holds over 20 scholarship offers, including Auburn, Clemson, Florida, North Carolina, Notre Dame, South Carolina and USC. Marcus narrowed his choice down to two Ohio State and East Carolina before choosing the Buckeyes.
Marcus is a very athletic prospect. Standing 6'2" and weighing 230 pounds, he already possesses the size needed to play in college. Marcus likes to hit, and doesn't shy away from taking on blockers. Whether he plays immediately, or stars out on special teams, that physicality will be critical at the next level. Marcus needs to learn the intricacies of the linebacker position and gain a better feel for the game, overall, but he is a fine prospect.

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (AP) - The Halloween forecast is a little scary for parts of Alabama.
The National Weather Service says heavy rain and sustained winds of 25 mph and more are likely from Thursday afternoon through evening in north Alabama. Some forecasts say wind gusts could reach 60 mph. A wind advisory covering the northern part of the state will be in effect from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Thursday.
The worst weather during trick-or-treating hours is supposed to be around Interstate 65 in north-central Alabama, but forecasters say south Alabama may be OK until later at night.
Isolated severe storms are possible, but forecasters aren't expecting tornadoes or widespread severe weather.

The Steelers have fired special-teams coordinator Bob Ligashesky and OL coach Larry Zierlein, the club announced Thursday.
Ligashesky and Zierlein coached three seasons in Pittsburgh, and both coached units that struggled in 2009. The Steelers surrendered four kickoff-return TDs this season and ranked in the bottom half of the league in opponent kickoff- and punt-return average. The offensive line again had issues in pass protection, as QB Ben Roethlisberger was sacked 50 times.
The Steelers are also seeking a new QB coach, as Ken Anderson has retired.

What is an EMT?
An EMT is an Emergency Medical Technician that responds to the scene of an emergency to provide emergency medical assessment and care. EMTs are trained to various levels of maintaining the ABCs of a patient: Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. An EMT can perform Basic Life Support (BLS) procedures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), Automated External Defibrillation, mechanical ventilation using a bag-valve mask, placement of airway adjuncts such as oropharyngeal and nasopharyngeal airways, splinting (including spinal immobilization and traction splints), and suctioning. In addition, EMTs are trained to assist patients with administration of their own prescribed nitroglycerin, metered-dose inhalers such as albuterol, and epinephrine auto injectors such as the EpiPen. Advanced EMTs and Paramedics are further trained in life support procedures and are classified as Advanced Life Support (ALS).
Why should I become an EMT?
Being an EMT gives you the opportunity to volunteer and help out in your community. EMTs that volunteer on campus enjoy camaraderie and friendship while learning to work in a professional medical environment. Volunteering as an EMT is a great way to get hands-on, real life experience in the medical field and to develop professional patient management skills for a future career.
How can I become an EMT?
EMT classes are offered at various times throughout the year. These classes follow a similar format to a one-semester course and are offered at Cutler Health Center in the spring and fall. Atlantic Partners EMS also offers courses in Bangor in the fall, spring, and summer. Once the EMT course has been completed, further testing is required with the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. Contact Atlantic Partners EMS for more information.

Just seven days to go before the self-imposed federal budget sequester becomes reality.
The across the board spending cuts in domestic and defense programs would begin March 1st Cngress doesn't come up with a new plan.
Democrats and Republicans can't agree on cuts for new legislation, but until they reach a compromise, it's all systems go for the automatic cuts in one week.
District 2 Representative Steve Southerland says he doesn't expect a vote before the deadline, we had the chance to sit down with him in this week's One on One.
Amy: If on March 1st, you don't compromise and automatic cuts go into effect is gonna hurt the military? Yes or no?
Southerland: Well every department in Washington D.C. will be affected...to extremes? Uh, or is it much to do about nothing? Well, let me say this, we are talking about a two percent cut in the budget, last year we spent almost $3.5 trillion and were talking about a two percent cut, ah, hardly draconian, ah, I don't like again, I don't like across the board cuts because I think, I wish defense would have a flexibility to be able to determine which programs they do not need and which programs they can do away with and which programs need to be protected, ah, and in our replacement bill we give them that flexibility ah, but ah, listen, when you say two percent, it's hard for the American people to believe that Washington D.C. Can not afford a two percent reduction in government spending...Amy, it really is amazing, the money, the spending wealthiest counties in America are the five counties that make up Washington D.C.
It sounds like your willing to let those cuts go into effect, the sequestration cuts, well I think they will go into effect. To make cuts, how do you stop that and say we're gonna make changes the way those cuts are made now, cause we finally came up with something...well I think that ah, as much as I hate to say it, I think this is a big game of chicken, and I think that once you start seeing the effects of these cuts, um, I think it, it drives people to collaborate ok then come up with a solution. I think the departments need flexibility especially DOD, the department of defense need flexibility so just because these cuts go into effect on March 1st, that doesn't mean that on March 2nd second there can't be a solution to avoid them for the long haul.
Amy: But I will, so you don't think Congress will come up with its own? No, no I think they will, by next Friday? No! But I think they will go into effect March 1st, ah, but then I think it is going to be very interesting to see how quick after March 1st a solution is brought forward just because they go into effect it doesn't mean it's a forever thing...its a forever thing?
Southerland: No. I think that is what a lot of people are missing...no, so you can still come back...absolutely and but how do you pull back, once something has started?so at any point in time ah, the solution can be created to turn it off.
The original deadline was January 1st, but Congress approved an extension on New Years Eve...but that two months is almost up and still no agreement. Congress is back in session on Monday.

At long last, it's finally time to get a little Scotch whisky coverage again.
Glenfiddich's Age of Discovery is a new expression – 19 years old and finished in Madeira casks – that was previously a travel retail exclusive. My bottle was, in fact, picked up by a friend coming home from London at my request. This was before the expression went to a broader release. If you find the broadly available version differs substantially, then I'll just play dumb and say "I had it before it went sold out and went mainstream."
Age of Discovery is the third whisky from Glenfiddich in recent memory that is marketed under a name (Snow Phoenix, Cask of Dreams) versus a more traditional age statement. This is a broader industry trend designed to allow selling whisky without an age statement. For the uninitiated, all Scotch whisky must be aged a minimum of three years to be called "Scotch whisky". So if it's sold as whisky and it's from Scotland, it's a minimum of three years old. Any age statement – 10 years, 12 years, 15 years, etc – must refer to the youngest whisky in the bottle. If a distillery releases a bottle that's a mix of 7, 9, 13 and 4 year whiskies, they could either sell it as a four year old whisky or give it a clever name with a tortured backstory and skirt the age altogether. For obvious reasons, the story is preferable to the young age statement.
Some people predictably find this practice to be one of the most unimaginable horrors that could ever happen. Others are blissfully ignorant of this nuance of whisky legalese. (I apologize if I've exposed you to far more than you've cared to know at this point). I personally find myself in the middle ground: Interested in the ones that genuinely work, if tired of searching for my Gaelic pronunciation guide or pondering the likelihood that I will ever utter to a store clerk, "Yes – I would like to buy the Rundlets & Kilderkins."
That's all marginally relevant – Age of Discovery is stated at 19 years, so it's merely using the lofty name as a sales tool. What's the Age of Discovery refer to? According to Glenfiddich, "Inspired by the explorers of old, whose discoveries revolutionised our understanding of the world, Glenfiddich Age of Discovery is a rich and delicious 19 year old single malt matured in oak casks previously used to age fine Madeira wine." Apparently discovering new landmasses is roughly on par with realizing you can finish a whiskey in a wine barrel. Vasco da Gama really went to a lot of unnecessary trouble then. I wonder if the Age of Discovery refers to present day whisky marketing where producers have discovered that a silly name with a thin thread of logical connection to the whisky contained inside, marketed as a limited edition, will sell like crazy.
Alright, enough cynicism. Despite my endless enthusiasm for making fun of the marketing, I actually do enjoy whisky. My track record with Glenfiddich is not the best, but a madeira finish was different enough to catch my attention.
The nose is inviting, with a good malty note upfront and a bit of the madeira richness hinted at. It's sweet and has light honey. The usual Glenfiddich pear and apple notes are there but aren't as prevalent as in other expressions.
As expected, the palate is initially sweet – malty initially and the fortified wine madeira presence is obvious shortly thereafter. The madeira settles down despite a strong initial showing. There are pears again; some white pepper and a little butterscotch.
The finish is malty but with some light wood notes. The heat is more like the tongue-focused heat of a Sichuan peppercorn, and the madeira adds some texture and makes the finish slightly chewy.
Age of Discovery isn't bad. It's not challenging in any particular way. It's just nice, sweet and malty with a bit of added dimension in the form of the madeira finish and with a little less of the signature apple and pear notes. Sometimes that simplicity is all you want after a hard day's work (or a month of reviewing mediocre whiskies).
At a glance:
Glenfiddich Age Of Discovery – 19y 40% ABV
Nose: Inviting malt, a bit of the madeira influence present on the nose. Sweet and lightly honeyed. Minimal traces of the usual Glenfiddich pear and apple notes, but they're faintly present.
Palate: Sweet initially on the palate; first with malty sweetness and then followed by the fortified wine notes. The madeira settles back down relatively quickly. Traces of pears; a little white pepper and a bit of butterscotch.
Finish: Malt comes out on top here with some light wood notes, a small bit of sichuan peppercorn-like mouth heat, and the madeira notes adding a slight bit of texture and near-chewiness to it.
Comment: A nice sweet, malty Glenfiddich with a bit of dimension to it.

Texas - Democrats hope to win over the state in time for the next presidential election.
A new organization called Battleground Texas plans to go after voting populations that have been underrepresented in the past.
They hope this could finally turn our state from red to blue.
Republicans say they've seen such efforts before and aren't worried.
North Texas-based GOP political consultant Craig Murphy says Republicans should respond accordingly to the Democratic Parties new efforts.
Battleground Texas plans to reach out to the African American and large Hispanic population, raise money and resources to adequately compete on the statewide level, and slate better presidential candidates.
The Republican Party of Texas is also making an effort to reach out to Hispanic voters.

The City of Raleigh Department of Public Works is preparing roads ahead of winter weather this week.
Crew began brining the roads around 10 a.m. Monday and they will continue all day and into Monday night.
Raleigh salt barns have 1,000 tons of salt left, but the City ordered 2,000 tons two weeks ago and they hope to get that salt in Monday afternoon or by Tuesday at the latest.
Raleigh has enough money in the budget to cover 4,000 tons a year without dipping into emergency funds, and so far Raleigh has used between 2,300 and 2,500 tons of salt.
The North Carolina Department of Transportation has about 50 trucks on hand in Wake County, and officials are confident they'll get to all the primary roads.
"We have time to go out to all those primary roads that
sometimes we don't get to if the storm comes a little quicker they'll work
until six or seven o'clock tonight, and then we'll wait and see," said NCDOT spokesman Steve Abbott.
The state budgeted $30 million for snow because in recent years there has been barely any snow. Now officials are prepared to go over that budget.
"We're about at that budget now because the last storm
affected all 100 counties. This one is going to do the same so we're going to be
over budget when this one is over," said Abbott.
NCDOT said they will make adjustments in the summer.

Periodicals Defined
Periodicals are publications issued at regular intervals (daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly) such as newspapers, magazines, and journals.
Many periodicals are originally published in print form (available at newsstands and through subscription). The library subscribes to databases that offer an electronic version of the text of selected articles from many periodicals.
Use periodicals for current information, for latest trends and research, for hard to find information, and for briefer coverage than books.
See the yellow handout - to determine if a periodical is scholarly or "peer-reviewed" as opposed to being a popular or a trade magazine.
Finding Mass Circulation & Industry Periodical Articles
All of the following databases can be found under the Databases tab, on the library's home page. For best results use the Advanced Search features of any database.
Selected Indexes to Articles in Popular Periodicals and Trade Journals
- Academic Search Complete

The Research Guide provides tips on analyzing issues with opposing viewpoints, distinguishing fact from opinion, evaluating information sources, and recognizing deceptive arguments. Provided by the New York State Library.
Finding a Copy of a Periodical Article
Locating the full text of the article in electronic form:
If there is no full text with the citation for an article in a database, click on link to or Find It!. If a full text of the article is available in another database, there will be a link connecting you to that database, where you can locate the article in the appropriate volume, or search for the article by title or author.
You can also determine whether a periodical is available electronically by clicking on the Journals tab on the library home page and entering the periodical title in the search box. If the title is available in electronic form, check the coverage, and click on the database link(s) and search for the item(s) needed. If the title is available in the library, click on "SUNY-Oneonta Print Holdings" and then on "Is it here?" to see the complete holdings.
Locating the article in print or microfilm, if not available in electronic form:
If under "Links to Full Text," there is a link to the title, click on "Journal," and then on "Is it here?" Check "Summary holdings" to see if Milne Library has the particular issue needed and in what form the article can be found. Periodicals are located on compact shelving or in microfilm drawers on floor P.
Requesting an article on Interlibrary Loan:
If you find an article from a periodical that is not available at Milne Library in any form after you have linked to "Check Library Catalog", you can request the article through the link Request via Interlibrary Loan on the record for the article needed (see computer screen that comes up after you click on Find It!). You need to be registered to submit ILL requests. See a librarian for help. You can also request articles through the InterLibrary Loan login link on the library web site under the "Students & Faculty Services" tab.
Finding an Article from a Citation
If you have the citation for a periodical article, use the Journals tab on the left of the library home page. Then type in the title of the journal or magazine. The resulting list will indicate which database(s) include the periodical. Follow the link to one of the databases, then either follow the links to the correct issue of the periodical, or locate a "search" box to type in the title of the article. If the library subscribes to the periodical in print or microform, this will be indicated as well. Follow the link(s) to see what years the library subscribes to.

Pressure testing radiator

Pressure testing radiator
My Cub sprung a leak the other day right after I started it up. My suspicion is the gasket where the radiator mounts to the front casting. After we had the tractor painted several years ago, I reinstalled the radiator, used the cork gasket and some Form A Gasket (flexible kind) but apparently that didn't hold up as well as I hoped. Here are a couple of questions:
1. The front casting surface where the radiator flange mounts has somewhat of a crown to it. Is that normal? I'm thinking about doing some careful grinding to reduce it somewhat. I can provide some pictures if needed. At some point in the tractor's life, the casting had a crack that was welded up. The weld seems to be holding find. Across the width of the casting, the center is 1/4" higher than the ends.
2. The leak appeared to be at the gasket, but it was a little hard to pinpoint exactly where. When you reinstall the cork gasket, do you normally give it some help with silicone or Form A Gasket?
3. Since I have the radiator off, has anyone got a good way to pressure test it? I can fabricate a plate at work to seal off the bottom and put a couple of pounds of air in it and see if it leaks.
4. Since the radiator is off and I don't know how old it is, should I just go ahead and spend the money on a new one. They're a couple of hundred bucks, but that would at least eliminate an unknown and a possible failure later on (or sooner).
My Cub is a 1949 so it is a non-pressurized system.
Re: Pressure testing radiator
My preferred route would be to take it to a Radiator and Gas Tank Repair shop ... but I guess you already have that covered. So, the next preferred route would be to follow the master's advice - How To Test a Radiator
Also, I do not use Form-a-Gasket or silicone on the cork gaskets. I tend to use Hi-Tack to keep the gasket in place during reassembly but that would be about it.

Re: Pressure testing radiator
I think that until you resolve the hump in the casting, you will continue to have problems. 1/4 inch is a lot to compensate for in a flat bottomed radiator.

Re: Pressure testing radiator
Thanks for all the tips. I like the base plate for testing the radiator shown in the "how to test a radiator". I've got access to MDF and aluminum so it shouldn't be too hard to make. If I find a leak I'll take it to a shop and see if they can repair it. Regarding the hump, has anyone seen this before? I looked at the thickness of the casting and there is some material, but not a lot that can be removed to lessen the crown. I would really like to avoid having to purchase a front casting.
Re: Pressure testing radiator
Replace the bolster, not the radiator, JMHO. Especially if radiator checks good.

Re: Pressure testing radiator
Most likely your bolster has been frozen (water, no antifreeze), which has caused the bulge. Your radiator will have a matching bend to it. When installing a radiator, I always use a new gasket with a very thin layer of the silicone form a gasket on each side. if you go to the How TO section there are some procedures for testing for leaks.

Re: Pressure testing radiator
If you are keeping the old bolster, do not try to straighten the bottom of the radiator when you test it or have it repaired. You will need the bow in the radiator to match the bolster. Also keep in mind that the older Cubs do not need a pressurized cooling system, which makes repairing the radiator and any cracks in the bolster less of a challenge.
Re: Pressure testing radiator
I agree, replace the bolster. I had one, that was bulged so much, the PO had to enlarge the hole in the hood, to place the hood on. Bulge is from freezing, as was mentioned. Never understood, why the bolster and head crack, from freezing, and the radiator survives? Ed

Re: Pressure testing radiator
I have always assumed that it was because the radiator has more flex to it.

Re: Pressure testing radiator
If I do decide to replace the front casting should I scrounge around for a used on or pick one up from Steiner or someone else? Are the new castings OK?
Re: Pressure testing radiator
Used ones are available. Check with our vendors. Heavy to ship. Find one, close to home,if you can. (If you listed a home state,it would be easier to advise.) Ed

Re: Pressure testing radiator
I don't believe new ones are available, if they were I'm sure they'd be a ridiculous amount of money. If you do change the bolster (I would in your case) it gives you a great opportunity to check/fix things, like the front seal on the engine and seals in the steering assembly. ...which by the way is a slippery slope, once you start "fixing things" where do you stop???? I ended up rebuilding the engine "while it was apart"! ...and I should/could have kept going. Going from front to back I chose to stop at the rear main bearing. Maybe this winter I'll start at the back and go forward ...or maybe not!

Re: Pressure testing radiator
I cleaned off the surface of the front casting and found some more troubling signs:
1. The front surface where the radiator bolts on has a pretty good wrinkle in it. As I mentioned, it was welded in the past and it's probably done.
2. On that front surface, I noticed a faint line that appears to be another crack
3. On the inside of the casting, where bosses are cast in place for the blind tapped holes for the radiator flange, one boss has one side that has cracked away leaving a path past the threads. This is where I think the leak started showing.
So it looks like I'll need another front casting and I'm probably going to replace the radiator as well. So here are my questions:
1. What's the best way to support the tractor while removing the front casting? It looks like the front end is supported by the underside below the steering gear. I'm assuming I probably need to bolt to the bosses on the side of the engine rather than place blocks under the oil pan.
2. Since I'll be pulling the steering gear apart, what seals and other items will I need?
3. Is the front crank seal pretty much a pull and replace job?
4. As far as sourcing a new casting, I see Steiner has one but it's around $360. Are there other sources? I'm in the Atlanta area. What's a decent price on a front casting?
5. Any other tips or tricks?
I'll be looking through my PDF manuals as well, but it's always good to ask before tearing into something.
Thanks again,

MoxieMom (@moxiemom) January 24, 2013
And this Twitter user wins with the best summation.
@demgovs Zuckerberg can fundraise for whoever he wants, maniacs.—
Christine (@cmdeb) January 24, 2013
But the RGA comes up with the ultimate oh, snap.
We're not surprised to see @DemGovs more concerned with Zuckerberg than winning governors races. It's why they only have 19 out of 50 govs.—
The RGA (@The_RGA) January 24, 2013
Update, Friday, Jan. 25:
Aw, did the DGA chicken out?
Hmm. The DGA's petition calling on Zuckerberg to cancel Christie fundraiser is no longer available. Cache: bit.ly/XAWsz6—

Update: Well look at that. The DGA deleted the tweet linking the "Stop Zuck" petition. Too bad Twitchy is forever.

Great Property
This was a great place with lots of extras like fresh flowers, a bike and the garden. Very clean and well equiped. If you love dogs - you will see a lot of them. This appears to be the place to bring your dog to the beach in Half Moon Bay. I was very impressed at how responible the dog owner were about cleaning up after their dogs. We steamed Crabs in the garden kitchen and had a great time. Would whole heartedly recommend this to my friends.

4.7/5 rDev +12.7%
The beer pours a beautiful light candied brown, bordering on orange and amber, with a great tightly packed white head that fizzles down to about a quarter of a finger's width scrim. The body of the beer is a murky haze, but it does seem to be mildly translucent. Lacing is practically none existent, sliding down the glass in loose bubbles before I can really look at it. On the nose this beer smells terrifically earthy. Moss, loam, and big whole grain bread smells fill the nose, with light lemon citrus and faint celery notes. The rosemary can also be felt strongly in the background of the smell, producing a feel that is much akin to how mint hits the nose. In the taste, this beer blows me away. I honestly don't have the spice knowledge to properly name all of the tastes I am getting, but I will take a stab at it anyway. On the 'normal' beer side of the tongue there is really creamy yet crisp yeast and bread, almost like a sourdough biscuit or pizza dough. There is also light lemon citrus adding to the crispness. The beer begins as a sweet savory spice opening into bready citrus notes and then slowly working into the sourdough bread and yeast that sits in the mouth as a pleasant and lingering presence with slight notes of citrus. The more I taste of it the more I note a light tartness with the yeasty flavor that is very strong in this beer, and it still reminds me of sourdough bread. This beer tastes fantastic. On the mouth, this beer feels perfect. On the lighter end of medium bodied, which makes it very drinkable, it is crisp and smooth, with only the faintest ghost of a prickle from the carbonation. The mouth is left slightly ichored in thick spittle that is begging for more, while the mouth feels refreshed and slightly dry. Overall this beer is incredible. It feels refreshing and exhilarating (hence the name) and is wonderfully complex and interesting on the tongue. I think I'll try pairing this at Thanksgiving dinner because this beer's breadiness is begging to sop up other flavors. This is the best gruit I have ever had, and honestly, it is one of the best beers I have ever had, and I don't say that lightly. I am so going back and buying another growler of this. If you are in the New Hampshire area then get the hell over to Portsmouth and try this beer, it is delicious, fresh, cheap, and all around amazing. I have found a new local brewery to drool over, and I am beyond happy.

In a Monday-night NFC West matchup between the Cardinals and Niners that much of the nation probably took for granted, there was no denying the ramifications for both teams resulting from San Francisco's 27-6 lopsided victory.
While the Niners lost RB Frank Gore for the rest of the season with a fractured right hip, Cardinals QB Derek Anderson lost his temper in a post-game meltdown that brought back memories of former head coach Dennis Green's infamous tirade following a Monday-night loss to the Bears a few years back.
Gore, who was second in the league in total yardage entering the game, rushed for 52 yards in the first quarter before being forced out of the game. While both Brian Westbrook and rookie Anthony Dixon did a commendable job picking up the slack, it's obvious the loss of Gore couldn't have come at a worse time for a Niners team fighting for its playoff life.
While anything is possible in the weak NFC West, it would appear the Cardinals effectively removed themselves from the divisional equation following an absolutely wretched primetime performance in all three facets of the game.
It got much worse when ESPN cameras captured Anderson and starting ORG Deuce Lutui laughing on the sidelines in the fourth quarter with their team down by 18 points — an exchange that immediately drew heavy criticism from ESPN commentator Jon Gruden.
After being pressed on the incident after the game by Arizona Republic beat man and PFW Cardinals correspondent Kent Somers, Anderson launched into a profanity-laced tirade before storming away.
The PFW Spin
Let's start with the loss of Gore, which doesn't bode well for the Niners at all, despite the fact Westbrook had an impressive performance against the Cardinals with the benefit of the Niners offensive line's best blocking effort of the season (23 carries for 136 yards and a TD).
Put simply, Gore is the heart and soul of the Niners, both on and off the field, and while a case can be made for Westbrook entering the fray with relatively fresh legs due to his minimal usage up until now in a Niners uniform, he is a significant downgrade from Gore at this stage of his career.
That said, the Niners could do a lot worse than Westbrook, an accomplished performer with a great track record, as far as an emergency replacement for Gore is concerned. But considering the injuries that he has had to deal with the last couple of seasons, there has to be great cause for concern. Not only is Gore arguably the league's best dual-threat rusher, but he also is one of the league's best backs in terms of blitz pickup — a fact worth noting considering how heavily the Niners have turned to max-protection schemes.
Switching to the Cardinals, clearly it has turned into the season from hell for a franchise that just two years ago was living large with a surprise Super Bowl berth. The heat on head coach Ken Whisenhunt has really intensified, with both Anderson and rookie Max Hall failing miserably to replace future Hall of Famer Kurt Warner under center.
Before erupting out of control, Anderson indicated that he and Lutui were voicing support for one another, which is the same explanation Lutui essentially offered when questioned in the locker room. But Somers, who was immediately bombarded by livid tweeters demanding to know why the Cardinals QB seemed so cavalier with his team getting manhandled, dutifully persisted with a line of questioning that was far from being out of line, although he has received a fair amount of cyberspace criticism in the last 24 hours.
Appearing on a Chicago sports-talk radio show this morning, Somers, who yours truly considers one of the best guys and straightest shooters in the business, regretted the big deal that was being made of the whole episode. But even though Anderson had no intention of pouring salt on the Cardinals' very open wounds at the moment, he obviously struck a very fragile nerve with a lot of people.
Whisenhunt said he had yet to see the taped exchange, and it remains to be seen if he will make a QB change in favor of Hall. But the suspicion here is that Anderson will remain under center, considering how ineffective Hall was when given the opportunity to start earlier this season.
Actually, it's quite possible the fire Anderson so emphatically displayed might end up being a positive for a team that couldn't have looked more burnt out.

It's piping hot for Burns Night in Bicester
8:30am Saturday 25th January 2014 in News By Sam McGregor
Buy this photo Pipe Major Steve Duffy pipes in the haggis as Margo Chrichton, Esther Brumby and Ellen Burnside look on
BURNS Night is tonight, but these pensioners got out the haggis a day early to honour the Scottish celebration yesterday.
Pipe Major Steve Duffy, who is also a Detective Inspector with Thames Valley Police, served the traditional Scottish meal and played the bagpipes for residents of Bicester's Langford View Care Centre.
Burns Night celebrates the life of Scots poet Robert Burns.
Wearing a kilt, Mr Duffy 'piped in' the haggis by playing the bagpipes while the meal entered the room, and also performed the Selkirk Grace, a prayer that is attributed to Burns.
Ellen Burnside, 80, having just enjoyed dancing to the bagpipes, said: "That was marvellous, I'm so excited. It's made me very happy."

I'm sure I'm not the first person to post on this topic. The new format of the website will definitely take some time to get used to, and overall, I like the new look. I don't want to be one of those negative Nancys that endlessly complains when something changes, but there are a few critiques of the new format that need to be brought forth.
For some reason, not all new posts are making their way to the top of the page. At present, no link to the new WDR is available on the main page, but if I view the mobile version of the site or the "recent posts" section of the Ashlock's timekeeping post, I can access it. I've noticed this happening a few times, and I wonder if other people are having the same problem. Are there any slight tweaks that can be made to the design of the website to eliminate this problem? Similarly, why are the posts by the editors and authors segmented by the "team/community/sections/etc." bar? Wouldn't a linear timeline in a single column be more straightforward? I'm not sure how many of these changes were dictated by the SB Nation editors, but I thought some outside input might be helpful. I hope this hasn't wasted too many people's time.

Angela's Asanas
This experience left her with what felt like "a belly full of barbed wire" and diminished sensitivity in much of her body. It also left her with intense and chronic pain that lingers to this day. She traces her probing, internal focus in yoga in part to her attempt to heal from this traumatic surgery.
"The upside of that operation is that I've been forced to work more with energy, moving it out constantly through to the extremities to try to bring life back to my hands and feet," she says. "And I've had to do a lot of stretching to open up scar tissue, which is very, very deep and runs right back through to the spine. I think if I'd have been more healthy and normal, I probably wouldn't have spent so much time on it, and who knows, I might have done something quite different."
Six months after her first yoga class, Farmer met B.K.S. Iyengar, and was transfixed by the intensity of his presence and the intelligence of his teaching. She studied with him for the next 10 years. But in the late 1970s, Farmer grew frustrated with the Iyengar approach, realizing that despite tireless practice and mastery of even the most demanding asanas, she remained largely unchanged within, still lacking the peace and quiet acceptance of life that she longed for.
Sculptures of female Indian deities caught Farmer's eye and inspired her on a journey inward, into what she calls a more feminine, sensual, and nourishing exploration of energy and movement. Her yoga style slowly began to incorporate elements of dance and creative expression she had explored as a child. Determined to find her own way, she finally abandoned many of Iyengar's conventions, in search of a more internal and free-form approach to yoga. Farmer's break with Iyengar wasn't without consequences: Her classes went from 60 students to six overnight.
Beyond Traditional Asanas
Her original approach to yoga delights many, confuses some, and infuriates a few. Her critics say her teaching lacks structure or clear-cut technique, that she has strayed beyond the world of yoga altogether into the amorphous land of improvisational movement. Some are confounded by the formlessness of her classes. Others say her approach is too sensual or psychological or emotional. Farmer admits the word "yoga" feels a little small for what she really teaches. She seems more interested in offering students the possibility of finding their own way than in arguing about the strict definition of yoga. "Anything that is alive has to keep changing and keep evolving, and it's the same for yoga," she says. "The essence remains the same, but it has to keep coming out in different forms with each person who teaches it and with each generation. You learn from the past, but only if it nourishes the information and confirmation that's coming up in yourself."
Nonetheless, Farmer says she will always be grateful to Iyengar for "the intensity with which he works and the awareness that he insisted on bringing. I think he's a brilliant teacher. It's just that I think you have to do what you can with a teacher and then move off in your own way. Instead of always desperately struggling up somebody else's ladder, you have to thank them for what they gave you and then move on and climb your own."

Can Replacing Linux with Windows Save Millions?
A Microsoft study once more tries to prove that a company is clearly better off with Windows as its platform. Our colleagues at the Australian iTWire Magazine have reported back with an analysis to dispute that claim.
What first appears a success story really isn't. There were no real savings involved. Microsoft's study claimed that tool and equipment rental firm Speedy Hire can save 200,000 British pounds per year over five years by switching their systems from Linux to Windows and Microsoft Office.
The iTWire.com article first of all challenged the argument that Windows-based thin clients offered significant hardware cost savings over Linux-based ones. As the article says, "A thin client for Windows might be cheaper than a full-blown desktop PC, but Wyse bills the V50 as the Linux equivalent of the V90, and it is cheaper." Other areas challenged included support costs, software updates and patches, applications, authentication and performance. As the article progressed, the pounds kept dropping off. We wonder what will be left of the one million in five years.

Around the Corner with John McGivern - #109 -- Racine
July 19, 2012
[Original Airdate: March 22, 2012] John McGivern visits a community with big appeal: Racine. As a matter of fact, this city is full of big things. John finds that the tractors at CNH and the choices at Milaeger's are big. The lure of North Beach is even bigger, and the calories are the biggest! Historian John Gurda explains that contrary to popular belief, the word Racine does not mean kringle. But it should, because every bakery makes it. John samples the kringle at both O&H and Bendtsen's Bakery. There are a lot of big entertainment choices, too, including The Racine Zoo, the Racine Art Museum, the Racine Symphony Orchestra and the Racine Theatre Guild. This is the only episode that has soup, atomic fireballs, glass blowers, Kewpie dolls and a ghost! Racine--"it's all here"! (9 of 13) Episode #109

For the Kokomo Tribune
— Most Hoosiers want health law repealed
As has been typical of Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg and his genre of politicians, he took six times the column space to say less than his opponent, Republican Mike Pence.
What is it about Obamacare, er, the Affordable Care Act, that politicians aren't seeming to get? The American people do not want it! It's pretty simple to understand, so why spend all that effort and ink to blather on about how he is going to deal with it, in the name of the great people of Indiana, of course?
Well, at least he got that part right.
The vast majority of Indiana citizens are good people with good intentions. Kokomo is an exceptional place when it comes to politics. Thanks largely to the heavy union influence, there are a lot of Democrats to be found within our borders.
Is that bad? Not necessarily! If they are true conservatives, it doesn't matter, because they will vote along conservative lines no matter how much guilt Democratic Party chairman Mike Ward, the Kokomo Perspective and the Kokomo Tribune lay before them.
We need people in office who will follow the will of the majority of Indiana (not just Kokomo) and the nation and fully repeal Obamacare. The health care system needs a balanced overhaul, not a government takeover.

U.S. public policy on pot is absurd
In 1974, the federal government tried to build up a case for why marijuana should continue to be illegal, but instead found that it slowed breast cancer, lung cancer and a virus-induced form of leukemia in mice. Why have these results been ignored?
Well, all further public cannabis research was ended by the federal government through either the DEA or President Ford.
Why do we tolerate our government covering up medical advances? So the legal drug companies can make profits on synthetic THC drugs that don't work as well as real THC? Maybe.
A study in the 1990s in Spain showed that THC could eradicate a malignant brain tumor. THC selectively kills cancer cells while leaving healthy cells untouched. There are no chemo drugs this effective. Other cancers that have been treated effectively with THC are prostate, colon, pancreatic, cervical, bile, liver and stomach cancer.
By the way, in Mexico during a four-year period from the end of 2006 to 2010, there were an estimated 35,000 people killed in the war on drugs in that nation. How many in our nation?
The fact is this war on marijuana is even leading to the arrest of pro-marijuana activists. Pro-legalization activists are being arrested or cited for gathering petitions for legalization.
In Florida, a pro-marijuana legalization activist was arrested for gathering petitions. He was wrongly told he needed a permit to exercise his First Amendment rights.
The truth is our public policy on marijuana is absurd. We ignore its tremendous medical benefits and have drug gangs (that very much want to keep marijuana illegal for their own sake) fighting turf battles over market share.
It took our ancestors 12 years to end alcohol prohibition. What is our excuse with the much longer time marijuana has been prohibited?

That being said, the food was delicious, the ship was VERY clean, and it was a very relaxing vacation. For the price, it can't be beat.
I've been home 2 weeks and we have already booked another Carnival Cruise for the WHOLE family. We'll see how the dancers are dressed. :0)
As far as boarding the ship on the first day, we found some benches outside and waited comfortably for the lines to die down. Once they did, we flew right through and went straight to our cabins. I highly recommend that idea! Same with the last day, we happily waited on the Lido Deck (in the back) and caught some more rays and snacked on our breakfast until it was time to go. Why rush your exit, right?!?

Major League Baseball's Washington Nationals are speaking with Lee County Commissioners about moving into City of Palms Park, which the Boston Red Sox vacated this month.
Executives with the team toured City of Palms Park in April of 2010.
At that time, the Nationals were one of several baseball teams that toured the 7,500 stadium.
Lee County Commissioner Tammy Hall says the county has been in talks with the Nationals for a few years.
But now, team executives are showing real interest. And commissioners will consider moving into "exclusive negotiations" with the team this month.
"It is very exciting but there are other opportunities out there. This is one of many. We've gone through the swim center proposal, but we're also working closely with the City of Fort Myers. We know their first preference is to see a sports team play there and specifically baseball is their preference," Hall said.
The Nationals do have a contract at Space Coast stadium in Melbourne until 2017.
But commissioners say the Nationals have discussed getting out of that contract early if Lee County makes them an offer they can't refuse.

DEL MAR (CBS 8) - The Del Mar city council votes to remove the city's name from an upcoming gun show.
The council is also recommending that the event not be held at the fairgrounds.
The five members voted to adopt a resolution stating their opposition.
Organizers say the event has been held in Del Mar for 22 years and it is regulated by federal state and city law enforcement.
"It's an inappropriate use of a public fair ground as far as we're concerned," says Lee Haydu, Del Mar deputy mayor. "We don't want it to be associated with Del Mar and that's the way our residents feel."
As of now, the gun show is scheduled for March.

"Card quality was excellent, print quality was good, and service was exceptional. Paper had a slight texture to it so we were concerned about print quality of the photograph we were inserting. I was surprised to see the photo came out real nice. It is however, NOT photo paper so don't expect it to be ultra-crisp!"
"This was a great Christmas Card because it allowed me to put a large family picture without any borders and of course Merry Christmas on the bottom. The back of the card was also beautifully decorated as well."
"I ordered this design for xmas season 2013. The product was very fast to get to me, which was great. We took our Santa photos in early December, and I already had the cards in my hand by 12/14! The paper quality is really nice cardstock, like a proper postcard. Even though the design is photo-centric, it wasnt glossy - the images were high quality color print and matte finish, sort of like the art in a comic. The colors were true to the digital pictures, not overly glossy, and the picture resolution was beautiful. I would definitely recommend to people looking for a fun design that isnt overly glossy or photo (holds up better in transit)"
"I felt this was a high quality card. The printing and colors were top of the line. I've had lots of compliments from everyone who has received the card. Very happy!"
"The card came quickly. It was so cute! Lots of room to put pictures if you're like me & have a hard time deciding on just one. I would have ordered on a glossier paper rather than the matte is the only recommendation to make the effects of the card really stand out. However, still very pleased with our Christmas card!!"
