Krugman, Obama and "Progressive Revolt"
Michael Barone recently wrote an article in which he pointed out, "there are more conservatives than Republicans and more Democrats than liberals".
Let that soak in for a minute and then consider today's Paul Krugman article in which he seems a bit surprised by the Obama administration's surprise that liberals are furious with him about the goings on in the health care debate.
Says Krugman:
A backlash in the progressive base — which pushed President Obama over the top in the Democratic primary and played a major role in his general election victory — has been building for months. The fight over the public option involves real policy substance, but it's also a proxy for broader questions about the president's priorities and overall approach.
This is where "progressives" always go off the track. It is a large dose of hubris which allows them to convince themselves they're a bigger group than they are, they're a more influential group than they are and they have played a bigger role than they have.
While Krugman's point about primary victories has some substance (activists turn out in primaries), in the general election, compared to George Bush and the economy's one-two combo, they were a non-factor.
Rasmussen took a look at how Americans view themselves in terms of liberal, conservative and moderate. He found that those who consider themselves liberal range from 12% to 30% depending on the issue. On social issues 30% had a more liberal view, which could be the inclusion of libertarians – who normally share the progressive principles on social issues – boosting that number.
But when it came to the the issues of taxes, government spending and the regulation of private business, only 12% claim to be liberals – libertarians would and do not share liberal principles in that regard. And it is within that realm that the health care reform (and the cap-and-trade) debate is taking place.
The 12% are the hard-core "progressives" who, as I stated, think they're a much larger group than they really are. And it is the political desires of this 12% – reflected in a Congressional leadership which is proportionately completely out of synch with the rest of the country – that is being resisted by the rest country that does not share its principles or ideals.
So there's a growing sense among progressives that they have, as my colleague Frank Rich suggests, been punked. And that's why the mixed signals on the public option created such an uproar.
And they're shocked and surprised by this? Two points. One, Obama knows progressives have nowhere else to go. So in a hunt for support for this legislation, where should he make his appeal? Well not with those who have nowhere else to go. He's going to fashion his appeal to attract those who do have an option. Politics 101 for heaven sake.
Two – they elected an entirely political creature who "punked" them from the very beginning of his candidacy. The right has neither been shocked or surprised by anything Barack Obama has done since his inauguration, although they have certainly enjoyed pointing out how Mr. Hope and Change is the consummate old-style Chicago pol. It is fun to watch the so-called "reality based" community begin to figure out they've bought into a fantasy. In actuality, they "punked" themselves.
Krugman concludes:
So progressives are now in revolt. Mr. Obama took their trust for granted, and in the process lost it. And now he needs to win it back.
Really? Does he? See points one and two above. Winning their trust back, given the reality of the situation would most likely guarantee him a one-term presidency and Congressional Democrats an electoral shellacking in 2010. That is if he did what was necessary to actually win back their trust.
Face it, progressives – you've played your part, you've served your purpose and, in the big scheme of things, you're a 12% constituency with no other place to go. This is big-boy politics and Obama knows he has to move away from much of what you demand to get this passed. And at this point, he'll take just about anything that can be called health care or health insurance or whatever it's called today. Or said more simply – the reality is politicians focus on gaining and maintaining power and they will throw anyone under the bus to do that if the situation requires it.
So lay down and take your medicine – Greyhound is ready when you are.

The Left: Trying To Make Legitimate Dissent Racist
That's one of the trends now. If you can't argue the merits of the legislation, make gross and unsubstantiated assumptions and claims and take off from there. For instance, this from Keith Boykin at "The Daily Voice", which claims to be "black America's daily news source":
In the past few months, we've witnessed the unleashing of the radical elements of the Republican Party base. The anti-tax economic conservatives, racist Obama-haters, gun-toting Second Amendment fanatics and birth certificate conspiracy theorists have two things in common: they're mostly white and they despise President Obama.
With the groundwork laid (one has to wonder – if blacks despised George Bush, was that because they were racists or because they were ideologically and substantially opposed to his agenda?), however loosely with everyone lumped into the same category and characterized by race, Boykin finally gets to his point:
And it doesn't matter that the president's domestic policies of providing universal health care, middle class tax cuts, and economic stability will benefit the very people who cry the loudest. This is not about policy. It's about politics. The politics of rage and race.
Of course Boykin again assumes things not in evidence to make his claim that it is all about race. First, he dismisses the legitimate arguments which have been brought forward about health care, secondly he seems to believe that the spending spree the administration has been on won't have to paid off and third, he's apparently blind to the fact that the "economic stability" he touts has been purchased with a future debt which will cripple us economically. Notice I made those points easily and without once even hinting about the race of the president.
They all are legitimate reasons to speak out, all legitimate reasons to be a bit enraged about the direction of the country. But, with his grand generalities and false assumptions in place, Boykin continues to build his case for this all being about race:
The town hall meetings have been branded "town brawls" by the media, but they are really "town mauls" where angry mobsters silence dissent and discourse. And despite the denials from the right, race is a deciding factor here.
So now, Americans acting like Americans are not only un-American for doing so, they're racist.
And Boykin isn't the only one pushing this line. David Boaz at CATO has a couple more examples. Paul Krugman, whose arguments for the health care legislation have been weak at best, also pulls the race card to lump "town hall mobs" in with "birthers":
But they're probably reacting less to what Mr. Obama is doing, or even to what they've heard about what he's doing, than to who he is.
That is, the driving force behind the town hall mobs is probably the same cultural and racial anxiety that's behind the "birther" movement, which denies Mr. Obama's citizenship.
Philip Kennicott throws race around in a Washington Post piece entitled "Obama as the Joker: Racial Fear's Ugly Face"::
[T]he poster is ultimately a racially charged image. By using the "urban" makeup of the Heath Ledger Joker, instead of the urbane makeup of the Jack Nicholson character, the poster connects Obama to something many of his detractors fear but can't openly discuss. He is black and he is identified with the inner city, a source of political instability in the 1960s and '70s, and a lingering bogeyman in political consciousness despite falling crime rates…
Superimpose that idea, through the Joker's makeup, onto Obama's face, and you have subtly coded, highly effective racial and political argument. Forget socialism, this poster is another attempt to accomplish an association between Obama and the unpredictable, seeming danger of urban life.
This is a building theme which is a classic diversion by the left. Using it allows them to play the powerful "politically correct" card they've so lovingly cultivated for decades. And it is something which needs to be nipped in the bud right now.
The assumption that this is all about race attempts to plaster that claim over the obviously horrendous problems evident with government taking control of health care and the history of Americans of all races protesting such attempts at government expansion. It is, in reality, a classic move by the left to use political correctness as it was intended to be used – to stifle debate. And what we see coming out of the likes of Boykin, Krugman and Kennicott are the racialists laying the ground work to make the charge.
Their arguments are weak, but their intent is clear – broad-brush tarring of those who oppose this administration as nothing more than racist whites opposing the administration's plans for no other reason than the president is a black man. That, of course, makes dismissing their arguments much easier to do and that is precisely the intent of playing the race card.
Quote Of The Day
It comes from Paul Krugman -
So it seems that we aren't going to have a second Great Depression after all. What saved us? The answer, basically, is Big Government.
Is it? Or is it a false premise?
Who said we were headed for a "second Great Depression"? And how does a non-falsifiable claim prove the point that "Big Government" saved us from anything?
Quote of the Day
Paul Krugman whining about how the views of those who are "pro-stimulus" are not covered by the media:
One of the mysteries of the way issues are covered in much of the news media is how certain views get ruled "out of the mainstream" and just don't get covered — even when many well-informed people hold those views.
This, of course, after calling climate skeptics "traitors to the planet". He has a point, he just doesn't know how emphatically he's made it himself in the past.
Waxman Questions GOP's Patriotism
First Paul Krugman calls anyone who opposes climate change legislation "traitors against the planet". We then have Al Gore claiming fighting those who oppose such legislation akin to fighting Nazis. The latest to resort to ad hominem is Henry Waxman, who claims the GOP, and by implication, anyone who is against the nonsense he just pushed through the House is an unpatriotic so-and-so:
Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), who has had an eventful couple of weeks to say the least, believes House Republican opposition to climate change legislation and the stimulus indicates they're cheering against the good ol' US of A.
"It appears that the Republican Party leadership in the Congress has made a decision that they want to deny President Obama success, which means, in my mind, they are rooting against the country, as well," the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman told WAMU radio host Diane Rehm on Tuesday morning, promoting his new book, "The Waxman Report."
Yeah, see it couldn't at all be that they're concerned with the crippling effect it will have on the economy or that it is based in bad science that is daily being successfully challenged. Or that the stimulus was a bad idea that put us into much worse shape fiscally while doing very little to help the economy.
Nope, it's all about wanting to "deny President Obama success", and that, of course means it is OK to question their patriotism.
Because, as we've all learned, since the election of Obama and the rise of the Democrat left, dissent is no longer the highest form of patriotism, is it?
UPDATE: Oops – looks like Michael and I came to the same conclusion at about the same time. Ah well, such is blogging – read 'em both. They're just different enough (and short enough) to warrant it. And btw, Michael, it doesn't surprise me that Steve Benen, hack that he is, doesn't find the rhetoric to be "over the top" when a Democrat says it, but would be devoting a full week of outraged blogging if it had been the other way around.
Krugman Endorses "Carbon Tariff"
Paul Krugman came out today for "border adjustments" (tariffs) on goods from countries who aren't participating in economy killing CO2 emissions control taxation.
If you only impose restrictions on greenhouse gas emissions from domestic sources, you give consumers no incentive to avoid purchasing products that cause emissions in other countries; as a result, you have an inefficient outcome even from a world point of view. So border adjustments here are entirely legitimate in terms of basic economics.
Actually they're "entirely legitimate" if you swallow the premise Krugman is pushing here, namely that CO2 is a "pollutant" and its restriction is a "legitimate" reason for imposing taxes on both your own economy and the goods coming from another economy which doesn't agree with the premise. And, of course, this ignores the probable reaction countries hit with this tariff might have.
Krugman then attempts to justify such a "border adjustment" by claiming such a move is probably legal under "international law":
The WTO has looked at the issue, and suggests that carbon tariffs may be viewed the same way as border adjustments associated with value-added taxes. It has long been accepted that a VAT is essentially a sales tax — a tax on consumers — which for administrative reasons is collected from producers. Because it's essentially a tax on consumers, it's legal, and also economically efficient, to collect it on imported goods as well as domestic production; it's a matter of leveling the playing field, not protectionism.
And the same would be true of carbon tariffs.
What he sort of dances around when he claims this will "level the playing field" is all products, regardless of their origin, will see dramatically increased pricing. The point of the tax is to hopefully steer consumers to domestically produced products which are produced under government approved conditions rather than those from countries like China and India which aren't playing the game the US wants them to play. Not only will the consumer here be asked to pay for the CO2 offsets imposed on domestic industry, but they will have to pay for offsets for foreign producers as well when the VAT cost is passed on in the price of the goods.
The thinking, obviously, is that if prices are the same, US consumers will buy US goods instead of, say, Chinese goods. The problem, of course, is much of what we consume isn't made here anymore. So the result would be the US consumer would end up paying higher prices for goods produced in China with no change in behavior by China.
Additionally, China will view this as a protectionist measure, whether the WTO thinks it is "legal" or not. China will simply claim that the US, as a rich country and large "polluter", should be doing more than they are doing in terms of emissions control, and impose its own "WTO legal" VAT in response. Same with any other country targeted by the US for a tariff.
This is, frankly, an invitation to a trade war. Krugman can wrap his protectionist argument in whatever legality he'd like, but the fact remains most countries effected will view it as an attempt to limit trade and react accordingly. And, of course, by Krugman's own admission, it is you who will be paying the tariff cost for China and India if this is ever passed into law.
Paul Krugman – Climate Expert (UPDATE – Krugman Calls Skeptics "Traitors")
Bumped to the top for obvious reasons.
Here's a perfect example of why Paul Krugman should stick with writing about economics:
One of the favorite arguments of climate-change deniers is "but it was warmer in the late 90s." In fact, the odds are good that I'll get that argument from George Will on This Weak tomorrow. I basically know the answer: temperature is a noisy time series, so if you pick and choose your dates over a short time span you can usually make whatever case you want. That's why you need to look at longer trends and do some statistical analysis. But I thought that it would be a good thing to look at the data myself.
So here's the data he chose:
Anyone know what happened prior to 1850?
A little thing called the "Little Ice Age", remember? And before that? Yup, the Medieval Warm Period. So what did that look like?
So what are the two things you notice right away? Well, one is "cycles". In fact, if you go back even further you'll see the same sorts of cycles repeated through out our planet's history. Looking at data from 1850 in the context of climate change history is to use an eyeblink of data for comparison (coming out of the depths of a centuries long planetary cold spell). It is a classic misuse of limited data in an attempt to support a point of view. It certainly can't be called "science".
And secondly, our temperature now isn't much different than in the 1000′s (not to mention there is much debate as to whether the temperature measurements of today are even accurate), with a very small population relative to today and with no industry, no burning of fossil fuel, and no worries about "green house gasses". How in the world can that be?
Meteorologist Augie Auer said it best:
"It is time to attack the myth of global warming," he said.
Water vapour was responsible for 95 per cent of the greenhouse effect, an effect which was vital to keep the world warm, he explained.
"If we didn't have the greenhouse effect the planet would be at minus 18 deg C but because we do have the greenhouse effect it is plus 15 deg C, all the time."
The other greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen dioxide, and various others including CFCs, contributed only five per cent of the effect, carbon dioxide being by far the greatest contributor at 3.6 per cent.
However, carbon dioxide as a result of man's activities was only 3.2 per cent of that, hence only 0.12 per cent of the greenhouse gases in total. Human-related methane, nitrogen dioxide and CFCs etc made similarly minuscule contributions to the effect: 0.066, 0.047, and 0.046 per cent respectively.
"That ought to be the end of the argument, there and then," he said.
"We couldn't do it (change the climate) even if we wanted to because water vapour dominates."
Yet the Greens continued to use phrases such as "The planet is groaning under the weight of CO2" and Government policies were about to hit industries such as farming, he warned.
"The Greens are really going to go after you because you put out 49 per cent of the countries' emissions. Does anybody ask 49 per cent of what? Does anybody know how small that number is?
"It's become a witch-hunt; a Salem witch-hunt," he said.
And Krugman seems to be trying out for head inquisitor. There are the numbers Mr. Krugman. Why not try crunching those instead of selectively picking the data that supports your point of view. You wouldn't stand for that in the economic world. Why should we put up with it from you when you talk about science?
UPDATE: Yeah, no inflammatory language here:
And as I watched the deniers make their arguments, I couldn't help thinking that I was watching a form of treason — treason against the planet.
Quite an argument, isn't it – "disagree with me and the "consensus" and you're committing "treason against the planet?"
You have to wonder, would disagreeing over economic policy be "treason against the economy" in Krugman's wacky world? How desperate are you when you have to resort to name calling like "traitor" over a policy dispute?
UPDATE II: Irony alert Ezra Klein referring to the Krugman chart above which begins at the end of the period known as the "Little Ice Age":
Paul Krugman has a nice response to the variant of global warming denialism favored by the statistically illiterate.
Who is "statistically illiterate" here, Mr. Klein?
Krugman: The "Nipponisation" of the World
After a lot of partisan "happy talk" about how the Obama administration is handling the economic crisis here, Paul Krugman goes on record saying the world is doomed to suffer Japan's lost economic decade on a global scale.
The thing about Japan, as with all of these cases, is how much people claim to know what happened, without having any evidence. What we do know is that recessions normally end everywhere because the monetary authority cuts interest rates a lot, and that gets things moving. And what we know in Japan was that eventually they cut their interest rates to zero and that wasn't enough. And, so far, although we made the cuts faster than they did and cut them all the way to zero, it isn't enough. We've hit that lower bound the same as they did. Now, everything after that is more or less speculation.
For example, were the problems with the Japanese banks the core problem? There are some stories about credit rationing, but they are not overwhelming. Certainly, when we look at the Japanese recovery, there was not a great surge of business investment. There was primarily a surge of exports. But was fixing the banks central to export growth?
In their case, the problems had a lot to do with demography. That made them a natural capital exporter, from older savers, and also made it harder for them to have enough demand. They also had one hell of a bubble in the 1980s and the wreckage left behind by that bubble – in their case a highly leveraged corporate sector – was and is a drag on the economy.
The size of the shock to our systems is going to be much bigger than what happened to Japan in the 1990s. They never had a freefall in their economy – a period when GDP declined by 3%, 4%. It is by no means clear that the underlying differences in the structure of the situation are significant. What we do know is that the zero bound is real. We know that there are situations in which ordinary monetary policy loses all traction. And we know that we're in one now.
Shorter Krugman, "we're in new territory in terms of the size of the problem, but it is all eerily similar to what happened to Japan". Unfortunately our reaction has been eerily similar to what Japan did as well.
Krugman's bottom line:
WH: So, one way to think about it is that self-reinforcing financial crises rooted in overstretched, overborrowed companies and governments in less developed countries – like those in Argentina and Indonesia, which were amazingly destructive in the 1990s and 2000s, but localised – are now playing out in the developed world?
PK: There are really two stories. One is the Japan-type story where you run out of room to cut interest rates. And the other is the Indonesia- and Argentina-type story where everything falls apart because of balance-sheet problems.
WH: So in a nutshell your story is …
PK: The "Nipponisation" of the world economy with a bunch of "Argentinafications" playing a role in the acute crisis. But even after those are over, we have the Nipponisation of the world economy. And that's really something.
And of course, implicit in the "Nipponisation" of the world economy is the "Nipponisation" of the US economy – something we've been talking about for some time. Now, add "cap and trade" and "health care reform" into the mix.
What will we be wishing we were suffering when that all kicks in, should it pass? Nipponisation, of course. As bad as lost decade or two might be, it would be heaven compared to the economic carnage those big tax and spend programs will inflict on a very weak economy here in the US. And that, of course, will ensure the "Nipponisation" of the world economy.
Krugman Goes Off The Deep End
Two nuts apparently equal vindication of the Department of Homeland Security report on "right-wing extremists". And Paul Krugman, like many of his ilk, ignores the dearth of statistical support his premise has to make this claim:
But with the murder of Dr. George Tiller by an anti-abortion fanatic, closely followed by a shooting by a white supremacist at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the analysis looks prescient.
There is, however, one important thing that the D.H.S. report didn't say: Today, as in the early years of the Clinton administration but to an even greater extent, right-wing extremism is being systematically fed by the conservative media and political establishment.
I noticed that one of our more asinine and logic-challenged commenters has picked up these talking points now that they've been published. Big surprise.
Noticably missing from the Krugman litany of right-wing extremists is the converted muslim and black man who shot and killed a soldier outside a recruiting station in Little Rock, Arkansas. Using the Krugman statistical model I assume I can interpolate that into a rise in "muslim extremist violence" in the US. In fact, one could certainly credibly argue that it is a 100% increase in such violence.
But of course, people would laugh and point at me and say how utterly stupid it is to use one whacked out nut-job to try and brand a whole religion through implication.
Well, friends, that's precisely what Mr. Krugman and the rest of the moonbats on the left are attempting with their nonsense. Michael warned you about it and here it is. Nevermind that the right-wing Weekly Standard was apparently on the "right-wing" whack job's hit list. Facts only get in the way of an unsubstantiated rant.
Health Care – "The Public Plan"
Ezra Klein discusses what has commonly become known as the "public plan" in the emerging "health care reform" legislation. Put simply it is "public insurance" which is supposed to compete with the private insurance industry and, as Paul Krugman claims, keep them "honest".
Klein lays out the various flavors being floated out there concerning this option:
• The "Trigger" Plan: Olympia Snowe is pushing this compromise, as are some conservative Democrats. The basic idea is that the public plan would act as an invisible threat: It would be "triggered" into existence if the private insurance market was unable to offer, say, enough options in a particular region, or enough cost control. In addition, the public plan would only come into existence in this or that region, or this or that state. It would be effectively useless as an insurer. It could potentially have some competitive effect in that private insurers would still work to avoid its existence. Some have argued, however, that the conditions being mentioned in the "trigger" proposals have already been met.
• The Weak Public Plan: This is what people are talking about when they refer to a "level-playing field." This incarnation of the public plan — first proposed by Len Nichols at the New America Foundation and later echoed by Peter Harbage and Karen Davenport at the Center for American Progress — would have no special advantages over private insurers. It couldn't use the low rates that Medicare sets or access taxpayer subsidies. It couldn't force its way into networks. It would simply be another insurer, albeit with different incentives than traditional insurers.
• The Strong Public Plan: This would be like Medicare for the rest of us. It could throw the federal government's weight around. It could negotiate deep discounts with providers. It could muscle its way into networks. Outside groups like the Commonwealth Fund estimate that it would save the average consumer 20 percent to 30 percent. That would give it a massive competitive advantage over private insurers, and would probably result in tens of millions of Americans dropping their current coverage and entering the public plan to save money. A variant of this was in the draft of Ted Kennedy's bill that was leaked last week.
While Blue Dog Democrats have come out in favor of the "trigger" option, liberals such as Klein and Krugman prefer the "Strong Public Plan" for the reasons stated (massive dropping of private insurance for "public" (i.e. government) insurance). And there's a reason they both prefer that – they see it as a backdoor way to move health insurance to a single payer system.
And that is a distinct possibility with both the "strong public plan". In fact it is a design feature. The "competition" touted would most likely be in name only as Greg Mankiw explains (quoting Krugman to set up his explanation):
What's still not settled, however, is whether regulation will be supplemented by competition, in the form of a public plan that Americans can buy into as an alternative to private insurance.Now nobody is proposing that Americans be forced to get their insurance from the government. The "public option," if it materializes, will be just that — an option Americans can choose. And the reason for providing this option was clearly laid out in Mr. Obama's letter: It will give Americans "a better range of choices, make the health care market more competitive, and keep the insurance companies honest."
It seems to me that this passage, like most discussion of the issue, leaves out the answer to the key question: Would the public plan have access to taxpayer funds unavailable to private plans?
If the answer is yes, then the public plan would not offer honest competition to private plans. The taxpayer subsidies would tilt the playing field in favor of the public plan. In this case, the whole idea of a public option seems to be a disingenuous route toward a single-payer system, which many on the left favor but recognize is a political nonstarter.
If the answer is no, then the public plan would need to stand on its own financially and, in essence, would be a private nonprofit plan. But then what's the point? If advocates of a public plan want to start a nonprofit company offering health insurance on better terms than existing insurance companies, nothing is stopping them from doing so right now. There is free entry into the market for health insurance. If a public plan without taxpayer support would succeed, so would a nonprofit insurance company. The fundamental viability of the enterprise does not depend on whether the employees are called "nonprofit administrators" or "civil servants."
The bottom line: If the goal is honest competition in the provision of health insurance, the public option cannot do much good but can potentially do much harm.
That is a critical point in this debate – there isn't an insurer out there that has as deep pockets as the US Treasury. If there is public money backing the public option, then the talk of "competition" is a sham. It is being used to placate and fool those who oppose a government takeover of insurance, the result which would surely happen if what Mankiw's concerns are true. And if you follow the reasoning process that Mankiw has laid out above, it should be pretty darn obvious what the intent of this "public plan" really is, all the happy talk Klein and Krugman throw out there notwithstanding.
Last, but not least, while the "strong public plan" is an obvious short-cut to single-payer government run health care, the other two plans simply delay that same eventual outcome for a while. While there are certainly reforms that could be made in the insurance industry and health care generally, anyone who believes that government can do it a) better and b) more efficiently has simply not been paying attention to the shape government finances are in right now or how large the deficit has grown as it has mismanaged its entitlement empire to this point.

This SP-Studio update might seem small, but it took me some time and needed to be done. Some of those things were on my list for a very long time. I fixed the "hats" category:
• Nearly every hat with custom colors can use the whole palette now (100 colors).
• This did not work for the first 5 hats, because they are more colorful. But I added new styles for them.
• I added the option to flip more hats. Every hat where it makes sense should be flipable now.
• Fixed an old error with the Football helmet and Professor Chaos mask.

ACCORDING to the debt policy statement 2012-13, our public debt-to-GDP ratio has breached the limit of 60 per cent allowed under fiscal responsibility and the Debt Limitation Act, 2005.
Citing higher debt-to-GDP ratios exceeding 100 per cent in some developed countries, the statement is, however, justified in rating our debt position as sound, thereby, dispelling immediate threats to the economy.
It is also encouraging to note that our debt ratio has declined from a peak of 100 per cent in 1998-99 to 61.30 per cent in 2011-12. Fiscal consolidation of such an unprecedented magnitude since 1999 notwithstanding, economic gains from corresponding degree of resultant fiscal space have not been so impressive.
Many developed economies with public debt burdens equivalent to or even greater than their entire national GDP have, despite financial crisis and recessions, not only sustained their economic growth but also added significant value to their economies. By contrast, our sound debt position has not proven to be a boon for our economy. This paradoxical situation shows that the size of debt is neither critical nor injurious to economic growth.
Empirical evidence also lends credence to this thesis. A July 2010 IMF study of 38 developed and developing economies for the 1970-2007 period found that the elasticity of growth with respect to debt is only -0.02.
The same study found that the elasticity of growth with respect to other variables (such as initial years of schooling which contributes positively to growth) is much higher (the size of the elasticity coefficient on schooling is well in excess of 2.0).
The economic growth is thus more a function of persistent but prudent spending on vital areas like education, health and infrastructure.
Such spending promotes formation of human capital which, in turn, brings in technological innovations leading to efficiency in all sectors of the economy.
The resultant economic growth develops a tendency to absorb shocks of debt accumulation and debt-servicing. While the need for containing debt well below or within ceiling cannot be overemphasised, it has become increasingly evident that not the debt size but the commitment to adequately and persistently fund vital sectors and exercising due diligence in utilising these funds hold the key to economic stability and development. The sooner this commitment is demonstrated, the better it is.

Anyone else love Dexter?
Kyle and I are big fans, and the fact that this show inspired my most recent quilt design is proof that inspiration really is lurking (quite literally) everywhere. In the last episode, Dexter reads The Three Little Pigs as a bedtime story to his son. As soon as he opened the book, Kyle goes: "Quick, what are the three houses made out of?" My guesses: hay, wood, bricks– which is 2/3 wrong since apparently straw is not the same as hay, and sticks are not the same as wood.
At this point in the episode, I probably should have been pondering the not-so-subtle metaphorical implications of a serial killer reading the story about a big bad wolf to his two-year-old, but my mind immediately wandered.
Bricks. Such a good pattern.
Simple, elegant. And evidently the building material most likely to stand up to sinister canines.
Of course, not normally colorful enough for my taste– that's where I have my fun.
So thank you, Dexter. Not only do you keep those serial killers off the streets (in your own disturbing way), but apparently you possess some patchwork potential. Come to think of it, those blood splatter patterns have a rather unique aesthetic…

Awkward Guy Tries to Pick Up Girls With Blink-182 Lyrics
Will the poetic lyricisms of pop punk trio Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker, aka Blink-182, help you in the pursuit of women. In this video, "Tommy," a Blink-182 fan, attempts to pick up random girls in public by use of famous Blink-182 lyrics. Did it work? Well, no. But it was hilariously awkward.

Missouri resident Shelly R. Hess allegedly stole three purebred puppies last fall from Petland stores in Naperville, Bolingbrook and suburban St. Louis, only to see the dogs returned anonymously a few days later by an apparently worried relative or friend.
Perhaps fearful of just how far the long arm of the law might be able to reach, Hess allegedly returned to the Naperville shop two weeks later, at which time she bought the puppy she had initially stolen, along with another dog. Police said she later allegedly called a Naperville Petland employee to confess what she had done, saying she hoped the purchase "would make it right."
And on the day of that purchase, Hess allegedly changed her appearance and "fooled everyone," buying the puppies while Naperville police detectives were inside the store interviewing the employee who had dealt with her at the time of the theft, according to the owner of the Naperville Petland.
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Hess, 50, of Chesterfield, Mo. in connection with her alleged Nov. 7 theft of a dog in Lake Saint Louis, Mo.
She also is the prime suspect in the Nov. 8 theft of a 2-month-old male Havanese named Casper from the Petland outlet at 720 S. Route 59 on Naperville's far west side. She also is suspected of the theft earlier that day of a 14-week-old male Maltese from the Petland shop at 744 E. Boughton Road in neighboring Bolingbrook.
Assistant Lake Saint Louis Police Chief Chris DiGiuseppi on Tuesday confirmed Hess was arrested Jan. 28 on a charge of stealing. The warrant for her arrest on that felony charge was signed Monday by a St. Charles County, Mo. judge.
Lake Saint Louis police Detective Sgt. Bret Carbray, in a probable cause statement obtained by The Sun, said Hess on Nov. 7 went to the local Petland store and surreptitiously walked away with a female Havanese puppy valued at $1,700. Hess traveled to the Naperville-Bolingbrook area the next day and allegedly stole the dogs from those outlets, according to the probable cause statement.
A still-unidentified man on Nov. 10 brought all three puppies to the Lake Saint Louis Petland and then hurriedly left the area, authorities said at the time. The dogs, all in good health, were soon after returned to the shops from which they came.
Carbray wrote that Hess on Nov. 22 "drove to the Naperville, Ill., Petland and purchased two dogs. One of the purchased dogs had been previously stolen" by Hess, Carbray said.
Hess later allegedly "called the manager of the Naperville Petland store several times and confessed" to the prior theft, Carbray wrote. She allegedly expressed her hope that, "by purchasing these two dogs, it would make it right."
Telephone records obtained from the Naperville Petland showed Hess made that series of calls using her cell phone, Carbray said. Police also traced her Nov. 8 travels to the Naperville-Bolingbrook area using Illinois State Toll Highway Authority records, he said.
DiGuiseppi said Hess went last month to the Lake Saint Louis police station in the company of an attorney. She made no statement, was charged with stealing, and photographed and fingerprinted before being released, he said.
Naperville police Sgt. Bill Davis confirmed Hess' arrest in Missouri. He said via email the Naperville Petland case "is still pending investigation, and charges will be forthcoming."
Bolingbrook police Lt. Mike Rompa on Tuesday said his department's investigation of the Petland theft in that village "is still under investigation."
"There are several items of evidentiary value we are still waiting for results on," Rompa wrote in an email. He said he might have further information on the matter "at week's end."
Adam Stachowiak, who owns the Naperville Petland shop with partner Mike Isaac, said Tuesday he found it "shocking and sad that Ms. Hess would go to such lengths to find a new puppy."
"While we appreciate her dedication and love for Casper, what she did was wrong, and we hope that Casper is being cared for properly, and that Ms. Hess is also well enough to care for Casper the way we did when he was at Petland Naperville," Stachowiak said via email.
"We are astonished by this outcome," Stachowiak wrote. "At the time Ms. Hess legally purchased Casper, detectives were in the store with the manager that dealt with Ms. Hess, when the puppy was stolen. She changed her appearance, and fooled everyone . . ."
"While we appreciate Ms. Hess' attempt to 'make things right,' we will proceed with criminal charges for the initial theft," Stachowiak said. "What she did was wrong, and we would never want to think, (or that) another person would assume, this is the proper way to find a new pet."
Davis, when contacted late Tuesday, said he could neither confirm nor deny that detectives were in the Naperville Petland on Nov. 22, while Hess was allegedly buying the dogs. He said investigators did go there the next day to follow up on newly-received information in the case.
The Sun in mid-November reported Naperville police had identified a potential suspect in the thefts.
Casper was stolen shortly after 11 a.m. from the Naperville Petland outlet. The Maltese had been taken about 45 minutes earlier from the Bolingbrook store.
Employees of both businesses told police they did not get a good look at the thief. Video surveillance tape images released to local media did not provide a clear or particularly useful image of the woman, now believed to have been Hess.
The unidentified man who returned the puppies reportedly is related to or is a friend of Hess'. He brought them to the Lake Saint Louis Petland in a portable kennel and gave it to a passerby, with the request that he bring the dogs inside the store.
DiGiuseppi said the suspect is a white man in his mid-30s with facial hair. "He parked around the corner, so nobody got a look" at the vehicle he had been driving, DiGiuseppi said.
All three puppies had had identifying microchips injected beneath their skins prior to being put on display in their respective shops.
An examination of St. Charles County court records indicated Hess between 2002 and 2013 was involved in at least 12 other legal cases, including two orders of protection that were taken out against her for stalking. Most of the others were civil and small claims court matters, records showed.Tags: Petland theft

Manufacturers routinely run focus groups in person and online surveys before they launch new products, or start thinking about changing old familiar products. From chewing gum to salad dressing to exotic new cars, there are surveys and focus groups for just about everything.
Consumer Savings Expert Jeanette Pavini from Coupons.com says focus groups recruit all types of people from housewives to doctors, depending on what products they are testing. She says in-person groups tend to pay higher than on-line surveys, and that online surveys tend to pay via gift cards, while in-person focus groups pay via cash or check.

This area as a whole lies directly above the town of Willard. This also is the heavily used Willard Bay area. Its about 5-7 minutes north of Odgen. There are supposidly three ice routes, a spire, and a newer face. Turn up Willard canyon road to access most of the climbing. This is the dirt road next to Willard cemetery. When you arrive at the fork in the road, take the right. Drive to a parking lot on the left. This lot is before an entrance to a gravel pit. Walk/hike northeast from this parking lot. Cross the stream then gain the dirt road higher on the north side of the canyon. Follow this road then find your way to the bottom. The ice is easily visible from the main road in Willard as are most of the crags. If you can't see anything, you probably shouldn't hike axes and screws, ropes or cams up there.

Produce Accurate Aircraft Parts in Single Setups
The VARIAXIS j-500 5X vertical machining center from Mazak provides cost effective and efficient single-machine part processing in titanium, hard metals and aluminum via fast, powerful high-rigidity spindles as well as a high-accuracy rotary/tilt table.
Mazak Corporation (Florence, KY) offers their VARIAXIS j-500 5X vertical machining center that offers high-value simultaneous 5-axis and multi-tasking capabilities for productivity and accurate processing of aircraft parts.
The VARIAXIS j-500 5X provides cost effective and efficient single-machine part processing in titanium, hard metals and aluminum via fast, powerful high-rigidity spindles as well as a high-accuracy rotary/tilt table. Through its multi-tasking capability, the machine further reduces production lead times, improves machining precision and lowers operating expenses.
The VARIAXIS j-500 5X comes standard equipped with a 12,000 rpm, 15 hp, CAT 40 milling spindle, with a high-speed 18,000 rpm spindle available as an option. An 18 tool magazine provides fast tool changes to keep spindles in the cut and reduce cycle times. Unlike other vertical machining centers, the VARIAXIS j-500 5X changes tools without having to return its table to the home position, thus further reducing cycle times.
A demonstration and overview of the Variaxis j-500 vertical machining center.
An 1,181 ipm rapid traverse rate in the X, Y and Z axes further shortens non-cut times, while the machine's high-precision rotary/tilt table provides an A-axis (tilting) rotation of –120 deg to +30 deg and a C-axis rotation of ±360 deg, both in increments as small as 0.0001 deg.
Machine travels measure 13.78 in x 21.65 in x 20.08 in for the X, Y and Z axes, respectively. The machine's table size is 19.69 in diameter x 15.75 in and accommodates workpiece diameters up to 19.69 in and heights of 13.78 in. An optional two-pallet changer provides simple automation and increased production by allowing workpieces to be loaded and unloaded while the machine spindle works uninterrupted.
The user-friendly MATRIX 2 control on the VARIAXIS j-500 5X incorporates the latest CNC technology to optimize 5-axis machining and provide extremely fast processing speeds, excellent cornering, superior part surface finishes and reduced cycle times.

"Don't skimp on this one"
This one starts out alright but there are a LOT of things that one can find wrong with the experiments spoken about later on. This is only 3hrs but it's worth even less, about 45min. Instead, skip this truncated summation of psychological experiments and suggestions to do illogical things for training purposes and go straight to "The Willpower Instinct" which contains descriptions of all the best psychological studies AND realistic ways of both understanding and improving upon your willpower.
Learn, understand, then decide whether you accept or reject.
"A series of studies"
If you're looking for a self-help course for self-control, this is not it. This is a course that looks at and analyzes scientific studies to understand the variables regarding self control in various individuals, both internally and externally. A good overview if you are already familiar with the experiments, which can also be an introduction for you to look deeper.
If anything, it could have been longer and give each experiment more time.
"Science was never so uninteresting."
All of the studies, none of the numbers. Why bother mentioning all of the studies if you are not going to go into any of the details. Not a single factual number is presented. All of the lectures could be summed up in about 3 sentences of common sense. Dan Ariely - Predictably Irrational and books like that give the science and you get a view into what actually happened during the experiments. Not simply, "you know what 'More People' did this, Less people did that" I had to turn the lecture off. This will be the only audible book I will have returned for a refund. The Great Courses has some great professors, Robert Greenberg is amazing. He is a great presenter, story teller, he understands how to hold someones interest even in a very difficult subject. I swear I was being tricked. I must use my self control not to turn this OFF.
Anything from Robert Greenberg is amazing so far.
Present some actual experiments with the numbers the facts the details. Not "Turns Out...." The professor sounds somewhat bored with the whole thing. Give some real life examples, inspiring anecdotes, liven this dud of a subject up.
""Mr Rogers Lite" talks about self control"
Disappointed pretty much across the board. Wanted to like it and actually renewed by Platinum membership for the 2sd time in 2013 and this was the first book i pulled down.
Content was nothing that anyone interesting in area would not already have know or found out from reading an old Psychology Today in the dentist office.
Their may have been a table of contents but I didn't feel like it reflected a clear model.
Still quite angry I spend a credit on this and had to give up 2/3 way into the lecture and I not doing a good job but just so don't want to invest any more time ..
Just listen to a sample first...
btw - unless I mistaken Mr Rogers uses the phrase "most easiest" somewhere in 2sd or 3rd chapter...
better suggestions welcomed.
Dumbed down delivery on top of simplistic content
Felt like he was talking to remedial Freshman class ...
Waited two days to write and while I sure Prof DeWall is nice guy and many love him as a professor considering the intro but still hate I wasted so much time before giving up.
Professor DeWall's use of the English language ruins whatever value there might be in this course. This was painful to listen to. I gave up and asked for a return.
The immature use of English was disturbing.
"Excellent tool for life-long learning."
I've already recommended it to a friend. Not everyone has the learning bug, though.
If you are looking to increase your own self control, or perhaps improve it in your students, you might gain from other's knowledge. That knowledge is presented here.
Did you know that there are three ways that we attempt to use to understand self control? Think about it - some of us view it as a reservoir that gets used up. What refills that reservoir? Others view it as a talent that we can grow. The scientific evidence shows that we can manipulate these areas.
This is one of those few books that I listen to where I wish I could pause life and let not another wasted moment escape.
How nerdy he is.
Yes. I will likely listen to it at least 2 more times.
Wait. Is this a trick question? I don't just sit there and listen to these books like I do written books. I listen to these books while driving, cooking, painting, doing laundry, et cetera.
I'm the smartest guy in the world.
"Great idea!!"
I bought six titles from The Great Courses lectures and just wanted to say what an excellent idea this is.
Non-fiction books, even on an interesting topic, can sometimes be boring, repetitive and overly long. But in lecture form I've found them incredibly engaging. I really have a sense of what it would be like attend a lecture in an auditorium.
This is my first title and I'm really enjoying it.

Reviews for
AudioFile Reviews 2010 December
Tory Brennan, the smarty-pants niece of forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan, is living on an island off the coast of South Carolina with her father, a marine biologist, following the death of her mother. Cristin Milioti's strong, clear narration is perfectly suited for the energetic voices of Tory and those involved in this science-fiction murder mystery. Tory and her friends, all science geeks, rescue a dog being used for medical testing, exposing themselves in the process to an experimental strain of canine parvovirus, which tremendously heightens their senses and reflexes. Milioti engages listeners in the fast-paced adventure and adds realism with her matter-of-fact delivery. Appropriate music adds drama to the tense pivotal scenes. S.C.A.

As a total fan of hardcore metal, it's a genre that doesn't always make a lot of sense. Certainly, there's no real questioning why a band like Agnostic Front is the "Black Sabbath" of the genre. Equally, it's not much of a surprise that Biohazard was so well regarded as they broke the style into the mainstream with the big… Read More
Accept continue to rage on. Since his debut with the band, it's as clear as can be that vocalist Mark Tornillo has completely revitalized this band. His first two discs with the band, BLOOD OF THE NATIONS and STALINGRAD, were both masterpieces that sit near the top of the Accept catalog...regardless of who the singer is. This is not to… Read More
John Garcia
For many of you, the name John Garcia doesn't mean a whole lot. I get that. For some of us - people that have long loved the world of Stoner Rock and Metal, John Garcia is every bit the musical God that people like Ronnie James Dio, Rob Halford and Bruce Dickinson are in the world of "classic metal". With… Read More
I must be getting old, because recently, I've noticed my attitude softening toward the dreaded "nu-metal" bands of fifteen years ago. Maybe it's just nostalgia for what I now perceive (incorrectly, I'm sure) as a simpler time, but the burnout and disinterest I felt circa 2002, the year I quit seriously listening to mainstream rock radio has mellowed of late. Don't… Read More
More singers should try to have their wives killed if the resulting project to come from that nightmare sounds like Wovenwar. Holy shit is this project great! Being perfectly honest, I wasn't much of an As I Lay Dying fan, so hearing that the surviving members were forming a new project and carrying on with a new singer and new name… Read More
Holy shit! Who saw this coming? In an astonishing detour off the band's well-trampled musical path. Their latest album ventures into heretofore uncharted territories, embracing such unexpected sonic offshoots as Eastern-tinged black metal, polka-dotted folk-metal, and, in what is sure to be a harbinger of trends to come, Tuvan throat-singing.
Nah, just fuckin' with you to see if you… Read More

Blues Pills
It's not a secret that this whole retro movement in the worlds of Hard Rock and Heavy Metal has been an absolutely God sent for my musical palette. For so many years now, probably 20 or more, the ONLY band I've had to hold onto when I wanted new music from a band who's influences were steeped into the… Read More
Retro has become in these days, and there are more and more bands creeping up that have harkened their sound back to a time that left well over 30 years ago.

The Treatment
Admit it: you've just about given up on England when it comes to producing quality rock 'n' roll. The land that brought us the Beatles, the Stones, Zeppelin, and of course the revered NWOBHM--in the past twenty-five years, what have they given us? The Wildhearts? Come on. The Darkness? Come the fuck on!
The Treatment are a… Read More
Arch Enemy
The big story surrounding Arch Enemy's ninth studio album is that the band has done the impossible. They replaced their lead singer calmly, quietly, and without anybody knowing about it until it was already done—and somehow didn't miss a beat in the process. It's hard enough to replace a singer just once, but Arch Enemy has done it twice, and while… Read More
California Breed
It definitely sucks when you watch a band that you are REALLY a fan of implode. For me, that's just what I had to do with Black Country Communion. As the band that I think a lot of people compared head to head with Sammy Hagar's supergroup Chickenfoot, BCC stormed out quickly and recorded three tremendous releases. Still, as… Read More
One of the hardest things I'm tasked to do when reviewing bands is to look past the individual history of the members when a new project pops up. Many times, you really can't help but to think about a guy's past work in another band. That's especially true when the guy is the singer. MuckRaker is one of those bands for… Read More
Toby Jepson
I can't tell you the number of strange looks I've received over the years when I claim two of my top five hair bands of all time to be Love/Hate and Little Angels. The overwhelming look of confusion is only equaled by the number of people that simple say, "who the fuck is that?" Little Angels was, without question, the single most underappreciated band of the hair band era. In a time that saw Def Leppard become one of the biggest bands ever, it simply should have been Little Angels. They were better musicians. They wrote much stronger songs than Leppard did with HYSTERIA on forward. They didn't sell out to make it. Most importantly, their singer Toby Jepson was just flat out better. I've always felt that "Don't Pray For Me" and "Broken Wings Of An Angel" are two of the very best ballads ever recorded in an era where careers were cemented based on a solid ballad (Motley Crue, Poison, Mr. Big, Warrant, Skid Row all found their groove based on huge ballads). It's been a lot of years since then, and big success always eluded Jepson and Little Angels, but RAISING MY OWN HELL proves that nothing has been lost with this vocalist.
Jizzy Pearl
I'd be lying if I didn't say that I have a bias toward supporting anything that says "Love/Hate" on the cover of it. Without any question, Love/Hate was my favorite band of the entire 80s "hair metal" era. Not Motley Crue. Not Warrant. Not Winger. Not Cinderella. Not those poseur bitches in Poison. Love/Hate was the band for me, and the reasons were very obvious. Of all the hair farmer bands, Love/Hate was the band that sang about things that were closer to where I was at the time. While the other bands were focused on sex and the party, Love/Hate was a lot more street level and focused a lot more on the boozing and pot early on...which is where I was at. "Fuel To Run", "One More Round", "Wasted In America" - all these songs hit home for me in the early '90s when they came out. Interestingly though, as the project became much more of a Jizzy Pearl thing than the original lineup, the music has matured and has stayed in sync with how I've grown as a person. His solo albums have produced songs like "Hit And Miss' that are relatable to me, as are other songs like "Do You Believe In Miracles" from LET'S RUMBLE as the career has progressed. Back with an EP called CRUCIFIED, Pearl and the formerly named Love/Hate has stayed in step with my musical taste.
Michael Schenker's Temple Of Rock
Michael Schenker is one of those guys where you either are 1000% in,or you really don't care at all about what he's doing. To me personally, I've just never understood the incredible amount of hype surrounding him. I get that he made a huge mark on the rock world with UFO and a somewhat less statement with Scorpions, but in the end, I can listen to either of those bands or anything since and really not hear anything earth shattering on guitar. Eddie Van Halen he's not. Still, there are tons of people that worship him, so good for him for finding such a strong allegiance.

Fates Warning
Fates Warning are a band that has a ton of talent, but it's never been realized by the masses for one reason - they were always a bit too crafty for their own good. In many ways, they remind me of a better musical version of bands like Rush or Dream Theater. While the band is clearly filled with musicians that are as talented as any that are working today, they almost always over-extended their chops both musically and in writing material to a point that the masses just couldn't easily consume and "get" what they were about. The result is that they never got big while other bands raced to the top of the niche they fall into. The results have been releases like AWAKEN THE GUARDIAN, DISCONNECTED and A PLEASANT SHADE OF GRAY; albums that their core audience love, but just didn't have any real "hit" potential to break them past their niche audience. DARKNESS IN A DIFFERENT LIGHT is their most straightforward effort since they debuted in the 80s, but it's a little too late at this point. That said, this is a seriously solid Fates Warning album.
Am I the only one that remembers when Florida was THE place for brilliant death metal? That is definitely a ghost from the past, as the major players from that era have seemingly all faded away (or, at a minimum are putting out subpar material). One of those bands that was considered a leader of that pack was Deicide, and much like your Morbid Angels and Obituarys of the Florida world, their music has become little more than tired, regurgitated crud that will draw people to the clubs based solely on their past instead of anything they are doing now. IN THE MINDS OF EVIL feels like a glass of drinking water that you know was recycled from your neighbor's toilet. It may have the feeling that it's refreshing, but you just sense that it's not truly fresh.
Boston is one of those bands that, as a fan, has just been one of the most frustrating to follow. Their career has been so sporadic musically and so infrequent release-wise that they literally tanked their career for the sake of the creative musings of their leader, guitarist Tom Scholz. To be pretty honest, they haven't done anything that's been that great since the THIRD STAGE release, which came back in 1986. Following the death of vocalist Brad Delp, they seemed like they may just be over, but were resurrected in the live setting by Stryper vocalist Michael Sweet. Sweet has since left, but new vocalist Tommy DiCarlo seems to be a pretty good clone of Delp sonically. So, onward does the Boston spaceship sail.
In almost every subgenre of heavy metal, there's a band where you just know what you are going to get before you ever listen to a note of new music from the band. In hard rock, it's AC/DC. In modern rock/metal, it would be Disturbed. In death metal, you could point to Six Feet Under, Cannibal Corpse or just about anyone else. In hardcore, it's definitely Pro-Pain. Before ever playing a single note of THE FINAL REVOLUTION, I had the strongest idea of what was coming. Needless to say, my hunch was correct. THE FINAL REVOLUTION is exactly as advertised. It's violent. It's a clear spit into the face of authority. In short, it's Pro-Pain.
For a lot of people, the second they hear that a band is "death metal", they will exit the conversation. Their loss, I guess. Kataklysm are definitely a death metal-like band I guess, but in many ways the continue to remind me of their slightly less heavy former enemies Devildriver. To be certain, there's nothing here at all resembling anything but the most heavy of music that has ever been created, but there's always that slight bit of melody in the music that has long separated Kataklysm from the myriads of Cookie Monster sounding gurglers that clog the "death metal" world today with what is, basically, average music that plays more to it's genre's stereotype than it does to anything creative. While not the best release Kataklysm has ever done, WAITING FOR THE END TO COME continues the tradition the band has established and ran with for two decades.
Some bands just don't get the love they deserve from metal fans around the world. One of those bands is Benedictum. In a large way, I put them in the same bucket as an artist like Jorn Lande. Musically, they are continually stronger than most of the trendy dreck that's out there, but they are constantly overlooked for reasons that are just not fair to them. With Lande, he's got the stigma of sounding like Dio (which, to be fair to the metal fans out there he helped to perpetuate) which has led people to not take him as seriously as an individual artist as his music demands. With Benedictum, I'm quick to believe that the imagery of the beautiful and voluptuous Veronica Freeman does more harm than good, as the dumb metal stereotype of "chicks don't rock" will cause some to not give Benedictum a fair shake. For those metalheads, I can only say, "your loss, dumbass". As a band that simply gets better with each and every effort, Benedictum has created their best release yet with OBEY. Full of speed, heaviness and frenetic energy that is far above their previous releases, OBEY has high jumped the bar the band previously set with DOMINION, and cleared it by a mile.
Metal Church
Back in 2009, there were a lot of us that were less than thrilled with Metal Church announced they were disbanding. While not for all fans, there's a lot of people out there that considered their LIGHT IN THE DARK release to be one of the best in the history of the band. And while other releases in the Ronny Munroe era of the band have been hit or miss, they brought it strong in the live environment. Further, releases like WEIGHT OF THE WORLD and THIS PRESENT DARKNESS were not bad efforts per se. They just weren't as good as LIGHT IN THE DARK or the classic era material. Having seen the Munroe led version of Metal Church a few times, it was really disheartening to hear they had broken up. Thankfully though, they have brought the band back together after a few years away to regroup, adapt to the business model of modern recording, and just recharge the batteries. The resulting GENERATION NOTHING is a very, very strong effort from the mighty Metal Church.

What seems like a very silly "AND" SQL error [solved]
I have a very simple MySQL query and the "AND" is breaking the query. If I remove "pt.country_id = $country_id" the query executes. Or if I remove "pt.procedure_id = $procedure_id" the query executes. If they are both together with the AND statement, it breaks...???
Here is my query:
Code SQL:
SELECT d.row_name FROM DATA AS d LEFT JOIN procedure_table AS pt ON pt.table_id = d.table_id WHERE pt.country_id = $country_id AND pt.procedure_id = $procedure_id
Here is the error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ' AND pt.procedure_id = 1' at line 4
Jan 19, 2011, 14:57 #2
Echo the query so you can see how it looks like with the values instead of the variables. My guess is one of them is empty.
Another thing, if you put WHERE conditions on the second table, the LEFT JOIN becomes an INNER JOIN. So if that's what you want, use INNER JOIN. If not, put those conditions in the ON clause.Guido - Community Team Leader

It's always fun to quote things out of context.
Stephen Hawking is forever talking about "knowing the mind of God" in A Brief History Of Time, but he also says flatly that "God is not necessary for the universe to exist".
Creationist tracts are fond of quoting Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Dawkins as well; always out of context.

Unlike Vermin Supreme, who is running a satirical campaign for President, Darcy Richardson is running a serious presidential campaign with a direct message: Barack Obama is not a good choice for liberal Democrats.
"If you believe that America needs real progressive leadership, help us send Barack Obama a message," says Richardson. Richardson's policy platform includes the following positions:
- Against the XL pipeline from the Alberta tar sands across the Ogllala Aquifer down to oil refineries in Texas.
- For bringing back the Glass-Steagall Act
- For cap and trade climate legislation
- For a "capital levy on wealth"
- For a new, larger economic stimulus package
- For a new Works Progress Administration
- For the proposed constitutional amendment by Bernie Sanders to overturn the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, which allowed the current corrupt system of independent expenditures in campaign finance to begin
- For an immediate end to American involvement in the civil war in Afghanistan
Darcy Richardson is on the ballot as a Democratic presidential candidate in New Hampshire. If you're a Democrat or a political independent looking for a solid, serious alternative to Barack Obama, Richardson would be a reasonable choice.
