From a discussion started at Political Carnival:
I'm not sure what Ron Paul says here in this transcript that bothers so many people. Seems relatively rational - not that you have to agree with it, but I don't see anything evil or stupid.
Yes, he is an artist at evading serious questions in ways that make people forget that there was ever a serious question. He got you…
The serious question, re-stated: How should a free-market health care system deal with the unavoidable cases where people require care to live for which they cannot pay directly and for which they are not insured?
Ron Paul tried to evade this question 3 times in the transcript that you quoted before Blitzer stopped calling him on his non-answering schtick. The closest he came to an answer was this:
Our neighbors, our friends, our churches would do it.
Despite his charming anecdote about his own work at one hospital before Medicaid, the hard evidence tells us that this model was a failure. We have a law prohibiting hospitals from turning away emergency patients because hospitals *WERE* turning away emergency patients because they could not pay. Ron Paul's proposed solution was a proven failure decades ago. He is not an idiot and he is a physician, so surely he knows that. He takes advantage of the fact that a lot of people don't think much about policy and a lot of people don't bother to even learn objective historical facts, so his vague proposals that are radically different from current policy seem reasonable to them. The fact that we know with absolute certainty based on historical evidence that charity, family, and social connections will not finance unanticipated and uninsured need for care is not particularly relevant because Ron Paul's supporters don't bother looking at the actual historical record. They assume that Ron Paul would not lie to them about verifiable historical facts, but actually he does so on a regular basis. It seems to be a conscious tactical choice, and it seems to work. It worked on you.
As a matter of verifiable fact, to this day people are routinely refused non-urgent care because they can't pay. Anyone can get care when close enough to death to require emergency care, but people who are not on the verge of death and can't pay don't get the care necessary to avoid emergency need. For example: an insulin-dependent diabetic has to pay for his own insulin, but if he ends up in a diabetic coma he can get insulin in an ER whether or not he has a means to pay for it. Of course, someone in a diabetic coma needs to have someone who gets them to an ER in time to get that free insulin. More relevant to the question Ron Paul tried to dodge, we have a mechanism in place by which the federal government ends up covering much of the costs of otherwise uncompensated health care, with the rest being covered by spreading costs among everyone with insurance. The current system is far from perfect, but the bottom line is that everyone who pays federal taxes or who pays directly or indirectly for health care in hospitals that participate in federal health programs (i.e. essentially everyone) shares in covering the cost of emergency and essential post-emergency health care for people without formal insurance. Ron Paul seems to think that we need to change that by reverting to the past system that made it seem necessary to upgrade to the current imperfect system, but he offers nothing to support the idea that the current system is actually worse than what it replaced.
FWIW, future replies will be seen at http://grumpybozo.tumblr.com/ since this is getting to be a bit much for a comment thread…

We have reached the top 3 of my journey through the 20 greatest Denver Nuggets of all time and the top 3 were more difficult to rank than you might think.
So my pick for the third greatest Denver Nugget of all time……..Dan Issel.
Dan Issel was an All Time great player at Kentucky University while in College. He was named an All American twice in his 4 seasons under the Legendary Adolph Rupp with the Wildcats. That did not translate into being a high draft pick when he entered the NBA Draft in 1970. Issel was picked in the 8th round by the Detroit Pistons but was also drafted by the Kentucky Colonels of the ABA and chose to play in the rival league instead of going to Detroit. Issel was a major star in the ABA and helped lead the Colonels to the ABA Championship in 1975. He was also the Rookie of the year in the ABA after averaging 29.9 points per game in the 1970-1971 season. He was traded to the Nuggets after the championship season of 1975 and played one year for the Nuggets in the ABA before the Nuggets were allowed to enter the NBA after the 1976 season. Issel is an icon in Nuggets history having served as a player, coach, general manager and broadcaster over the 40 years since his acquisition from Kentucky. He is one of only 3 Denver Nuggets in the Basketball Hall of Fame joining Alex English and David Thompson after his induction in 1993.
In Issel's first season in Denver playing in the ABA he averaged an Nuggets career high 22.3 points and 10.1 rebounds per game and helped lead the Nuggets to the ABA Championship series against Julius Erving's New Jersey Nets where the Nuggets would eventually lose in 6 games. The Nuggets first season in the NBA was successful one as well as they went 50-32 and won their division but lost in the Western Conference Semi-finals to Seattle. Over the course of his career in Denver, Issel would be a mainstay in the Nuggets lineup as he never played less than 76 games in a season and had a career high playing in an unheard of 84 games in the 1976-1977 season. He stayed injury free for his entire career unless you include the fact that he lost 5 teeth in a fight during his 2nd season in the ABA and had to wear a bridge in his mouth for the rest of his life. He didn't wear the synthetic teeth while playing so one of Issel's signatures was his toothless smile you could easily see when he went up for a jump shot or stood at the free throw line waiting to shoot a free throw.
In his Nuggets career Issel averaged 20.7 points, 8.3 rebounds and shot 80% from the free throw line. He was part of the Nuggets team in 1984 that took the Lakers to 6 games in the Western Conference finals and if not for an injury to forward Calvin Natt in game 3 they may have unseated "Showtime" and gotten the chance to play the Celtics in the NBA finals with a chance to go against the iconic Celts team that included future Hall of Famers Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parrish. Issel was on teams that made the playoffs in each of his 15 seasons with the exception of the 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 seasons with the Nuggets.
Issel played 10 seasons in Denver and that is reflected in the fact that Issel shows up in the top 10 in 16 statistical categories in Nuggets history. He is on every list except blocked shots in some form or fashion. Take a look at Issel's amazing stats in a Nuggets uniform:
2nd in games played with 837 (in his 10 seasons he averaged over 80 games per season)
2nd in minutes played with 25,198 (an average of 30 minutes per game while only missing an average of 2 games per season)
2nd in field goals made with 6,176
2nd in field goals attempted with 12,183 (meaning he shot an average of 50.6% from the field in his Nuggets career)
1st all time in free throws made with 4,217 (almost 500 more made free throws than Alex English who is second on this list)
1st all time in free throws attempted with 5,277 (over 600 more than 2nd place Carmelo Anthoney)
2nd in offensive rebounds with 1,989 (Behind only Alex English with 2,038)
1st in defensive rebounds with 4,641 (2nd on the list is Dikembe Mutombo with 3,297)
1st in total rebounds with 6,620 (almost 1,400 more than the 2nd highest total in Nuggets history….Byron Beck with 5,261)
7th in assists with 2,005 (Issel is still considered one of the great passing centers in NBA history and that is evident by being on an assist list as a center)
4th in steals with 798
4th in turnovers with 1,481
1st in personal fouls with 2,288
2nd in points scored with 16,589 (He scored a combined 27,842 points in the NBA and ABA which is 9th on the all time combined scoring list behind such notables as Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Julius Erving, Shaquille O'Neal and Moses Malone)
7th in points per game with an average of 20.7 per game
10th in rebounds per game with 8.3
Wow! That is an impressive list of accomplishments for an undersized center playing against the likes of Jabbar, Malone, Parrish and Hakeem Olajuwon!
Issel was known for a couple of signature moves that were "named" by Nuggets broadcaster Al Albert in the 70's. He had the infamous "Issel head fake" that was so overstated I am amazed that so many great NBA defensive players fell for it. And of course "Issel with the missile" when he shot his patented 16-18′ jump shot from the top of the key or at the elbow. The Nuggets of the Doug Moe era were a lot of fun to watch as they ran Moe's imitated but never perfected "Passing Game" and they scored points in bunches. In the early 80's the Nuggets had 3 players in the top 10 in scoring and between the three they averaged over 75 points a game in 1982. Issel teamed with Nuggets greats Kiki Vandewege and Alex English to average 77.8 points per game during the 1982 season.
After Issel retired from the Nuggets after the 1985 season he continued to be a visible member of the Nuggets family teaming with the aforementioned Al Albert and later, Irv Brown, broadcasting Nuggets games on Channel 2 for several years. When the Nuggets realized the experiment with Paul Westhead's run and gun offense would not translate to wins in the NBA, they hired Issel as coach in 1992 and he led the Nuggets back from the brink of dissolution to a magical playoff run in 1994 by beating the 62 win Seattle Supersonics and taking the Jazz to 7 games before bowing out in Salt Lake City. He had a stint as Nuggets GM and was not very good at that job as he was the GM that picked the infamous Mamadou N'Diaya in 1998. He also had a second stint as coach from 1999 to 2001 when he appointed himself coach but resigned halfway through the 2001-2002 season after making a racial slur to a fan after a tough loss at the Pepsi Center.
Issel spent the better part of 3 decades playing, broadcasting, coaching and managing the Denver Nuggets and he is unquestionably one of the most visible figures in the history of the franchise. And that is why my 3rd greatest Denver Nugget of all time is Daniel Paul "Dan" Issel!
I only have 2 great Nuggets left to reveal and I am extremely excited about giving them both to you in the next few days. Training camp is only a couple of months away so keep following all your Nuggets tidbits including the top two Nuggets of all time right here at NuggLove.com.

The 2013-14 season and her collegiate basketball career ended Monday night for Baylor senior star Odyssey Sims. Sims scored a game-high 33 points in a losing cause as her Lady Bears lost to No, 1 seed Notre Dame in the Notre Dame Regional championship of the NCAA Women's Tournament.
Her season may be over, but individual honors for the Baylor superstar continue to come after four sensational years, including a national championship in 2012.
Sims was named on Tuesday as a unanimous selection to the Associated Press All-America First Team. Tjis is the second time Sims has been named to the AP All-America team. On Monday she was named to the U.S. Basketball Writers Association All-America team.
The 5-8 Baylor senior averaged 28 points a game this season and is only the second women's player to score 1,000 points in a single season. Sims was just nine points short of breaking the all-time mark for a single season (1,062 points) set by Jackie Stiles in 2000-01.
"She had a phenomenal year," said Sims' head coach, Kim Mulkey, about her star player. "She's bailed us out of a lot of games, but yet as the season progressed, she started trusting her teammates more."
Joining Sims on the AP All-America team are Chiney Ogwumike of Stanford, Breanna Stewart of the University of Connecticut, Notre Dame's Kayla McBride and Alyssa Thomas of Maryland.

dialup connection, or some kind of tcp/ip available, and THEN try to
resolve. That isn't a MAJOR performance problem, but if someone is running
windows 98 on a 486/33 (Yes, I hear there are people out there like that).
They need every bit of proccess time they can get.
Thanks for the insight though. Is windowsupdate.microsoft.com the only
host it tries to connect to?
Microsoft also purchased windowsupdate.com, which will most likely take
over that address at some point. The entire thing still seems fishy.
I dumped the update connections from 3 separate hosts on the same
network, showing the same behavior in each. If someone else has a
different experience, I would like to hear about it. Also, the update
tool may not be directly trying to resolve the update server address,
but using a high-level Inet API call that would do the same while
attemptiong to make a connection. The entire system seems horribly
ineffcient, as the updating machine needs to download the entire list of
updates every time it wants to check for new ones. The worst part about
all of this is that every single Windows 98 computer that wishes to get
an update has to rely on a single host for the security. If that one
server got compromised one day, or an attacker cracks the MS DNS server
again, there could be millions of users installing torjans every hour.
The scope of this attack is big enough to attract crackers who actually
know what they are doing...

So the weakest link here is the nameserver. If someone is able to
compromise your nameserver.
I wonder what type of validation is done within the update utility.
Does it check to see if the resolved address is indeed a valid microsoft
IP address, or are there any other security checks that prevent
installation of updates from a non-microsoft site?
Even if someone was able to compromise the DNS server or drop a false
address for it in your hosts file, they would need to create a copy of
Microsoft's site to fool the Win98 users into downloading a look-a-like
ActiveX control to control the updates. The real M$ control is signed
with VeriSign, the lack of this signature should clue in the user that
something is wrong. To create a 'trojan' update you would need to do
the following:
1) Compomise the DNS server or their hosts file.
2) Create a cab + cucif.cif file with thier trojan added.
3) Create (or reuse) the ActiveX update component, reusing it seems
simple enough and would maintain the signature.
4) Discover the locations of the update files on the real server and
place thier trojan in the same location on the spoofing server.
This is just one scenario, but the point is that spoofing
windowsupdate.microsoft.com is just the beginning, and as I have replied
to numerous e-mails, not quite as easy as it seems at first. As Mr.
Parker said, this entire setup seems kinda fishy...

Just as you might place a vase of flowers on a dining room table, why not decorate your garden furniture as well? This pot, planted with scented alpine pinks and pretty sea heath, Frankenia, makes a drought-tolerant table centerpiece that will provide color and interest throughout the summer months.
When to Plant: Early spring
At Its Best: Spring to autumn
Time to Complete: 1 hour
Materials Needed:
- shallow bowl
- broken clay pot pieces
- soil-based potting mix and grit
- pink, Dianthus 'Devon Flores'
- sea heath, Frankenia thymifolia
Prepare the Pot
Choose a pot that is slightly deeper than the plants' root balls. Place a piece of broken pot over the drainage hole, and add a layer of gravel. Mix two parts of soil-based potting mix to one part of horticultural grit in a bowl.
Plant Up
Water the plants well. Add a thin layer of soil over the gravel and position the plants on top, with the pinks in the middle. Use the soil and grit mixture to fill in around the plants.
Caring for Your Display
Place your display on a table that is in full sun for at least half the day. Water and feed it regularly, and the plants will perform well in the same pot for a number of years after planting.

Infineon CEO Ploss Calls for Active Industrial Policy – "Only Pan-European Cooperation Can Ensure Implementation of Global Industrial Standards"
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Successful Fiscal Year Enables Dividend Payment for Fourth Consecutive Time
Business & Financial Press
February 13, 2014
Neubiberg and Munich, Germany – February 13, 2014 – At this year's Annual General Meeting of Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), CEO Dr. Reinhard Ploss presented the shareholders with a result that exceeded expectations. He also took the opportunity to call for policy makers to address demands focusing on Germany and Europe as industrial centers.
Infineon plans to invest Euro 650 million during the course of the current fiscal year, a sum that represents 15 percent of the expected revenue. The majority of these investments will be in Germany, owing to its favorable investment environment. "However, we should not be too complacent. Our country needs to do more if we wish to continue to be successful and maintain our leading position," Ploss added. The EU initiative ECSEL was the right way to address the Asian challenge, in his opinion. Nonetheless, it was not enough to support only small and medium-sized companies. "If global industrial standards are to continue to come from Europe, we need to think on a larger scale and cooperate on a European level. It is only then that we can achieve the critical mass with which we not only serve markets but can define them as well," Ploss said. He pointed out that this had, for instance, worked in the past with the mobile radio standard GSM.
Besides coordinated industrial policy, the CEO also requested Germany policy makers not to burden the nation's industry excessively with energy costs. He pointed out that the energy turnaround had resulted in an uneven distribution of costs that was leading to unfair competition. "While some industries are exempt from the apportionment of costs resulting from the German Renewable Energy Act (EEG), High-Tech companies have had to shoulder an additional burden. But it is these companies that form the backbone of a sustainable, future-oriented economy," Ploss continued. It was the healthy industrial base that gave the German and European economy the strength to confront the global competition and overcome the crises of the past. That is why the CEO expressly welcomed the initiative of the EU Commission to reindustrialize Europe. He saw it as a step in the right direction.
The semiconductor manufacturer generated revenue of Euro 3.84 billion and a segment result of Euro 377 million in the fiscal year 2013 that ended on September 30, 2013. The Segment Result Margin was 9.8 percent. Ploss regards the lower figures in the year-on-year comparison to be successful because even during the lowest demand period the company still remained profitable thanks to good cycle management. He added, "It certainly paid off that, despite all our cost-cutting measures, we still maintained our ability to react to new demand requirements at all times."
This enabled production to be ramped up quickly in the second half of fiscal year 2013 when the markets recovered. The shareholders are also to profit from this success. The Supervisory Board and Board have thus proposed a dividend of Euro 0.12 per dividend-entitled share. The CEO is convinced that Infineon's business model has a long-term future. The profitability of the company is made possible even in economically difficult times thanks to its high-margin portfolio, which is less susceptible to fluctuations in the markets.
About Infineon
Infineon Technologies AG, Neubiberg, Germany, offers semiconductor and system solutions addressing three central challenges to modern society:
mobility, and
security. In the 2013 fiscal year (ending September 30), the Company reported sales of Euro 3.84 billion with around 26,700 employees worldwide. Infineon is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange (ticker symbol: IFX) and in the USA on the over-the-counter market OTCQX International Premier (ticker symbol: IFNNY).Further information is available at

- Graduate Risk Analyst - Retail Credit Risk (SAS), Nationwide
- Salary
- Not Specified
Up to £25,729 + benefits (dependent upon skills and experience)
The way we manage risk is incredibly important to the success of Nationwide. After all, our mutual status means it has a direct impact on each and every one of our members. So as a Risk Analyst here, it's true to say you'll have a tremendously influential role to play.
A more challenging role
Working within our Retail Credit Risk department's Unsecured Portfolio Management team, you'll be responsible for the development, production and implementation of monthly reports, management information and in-depth analyses with accuracy underpinning the results. The Unsecured Portfolio Management team has responsibility for the society's Credit Card, Personal Loan and Current Account risk management reporting. You'll be utilising the operational and behavioural credit models to provide business insight into all aspects of the credit risk lifecycle from application, limit strategies and arrears management to a wide range of audiences.
Depending on the audience – be it the Unsecured Credit Quality Committee, the Group's Risk Committee, the Finance department or the FSA - the information you provide could include anything from straightforward financial returns, official arrears figures, bad debt provision information or ad-hoc analytic investigations of abnormal trends.
Whilst providing analytics and reporting, you'll support the key business stakeholders within the business committees through the formulation of credit policy and strategy papers. The role is an ideal starting point for a career in risk management / Nationwide. The skills that the successful candidate will learn in the role will be immensely valuable for a career in analytics.
A more talented person
We are looking for candidates from a retail credit risk background with experience in SAS or be a graduate with a 2i degree or equivalent with a strong mathematics/statistical or credit risk degree. You'll need outstanding analytical, communication and IT skills, with experience programming in SAS beneficial. We require an eye for detail and the successful applicant to be a fast learner. The ability to communicate complicated findings in an easy-to-understand manner is an essential component of the position. Any commercial experience on data analysis within the finance sector would be an advantage.
An employer you'll be proud of
Our mutual status means we're here to benefit customers, not shareholders. Our commitment to customers, not shareholders, has always been what sets us apart from our competitors. And now, more than ever, our reputation for being open, honest and trustworthy is helping us go from strength to strength. In fact, it's made us the world's biggest building society as well as a major local employer. Underpinning it all is a commercial operation that never stands still. We're always thinking ahead, aiming higher and sharpening our competitive edge. That's why we invest in people who are not only proud of what we stand for, but who also have the talent and drive to boost our performance still further.
The rewards you deserve
If you put a lot in, it's only fair you should get a lot out. Help us continue to offer customers the best possible experience, and we'll give you all the support, recognition and rewards you deserve. As well as a great working environment and plenty of scope for development and growth, you can expect a generous package that includes pension, life assurance, healthcare and bonus scheme.

Anti-Semitic Drivel Alert
Somebody comments below :
The killing of Christ by the Jews continues – every day in every way. Nothing has changed in 2000 years. Don't you get it?
No, I don't get it. My friend, Rabbi Daniel Lapin put me on his radio show several times so I can hold forth on Catholic teaching about this and that. Doesn't strike me as an act of murder. Michael Medved staunchly defends Christians, including Catholics, from cultured despisers of all stripes. Not much of a Christ-killer, if you ask me. Toward Tradition bends over backwards to forge alliances with Christians and defend them from unjust attacks by the Chattering Classes. If they are trying to murder Christ, all I can say is they sure are inept at it.
Dunno if my Jew-baiting reader is Catholic or not. If not, repent and become one, if for no other reason than whoever is teaching you now is a moron. If you are Catholic, then learn the teaching of the Church from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
596 The religious authorities in Jerusalem were not unanimous about what stance to take towards Jesus.[380] The Pharisees threatened to excommunicate his followers.[381] To those who feared that "everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and destroy both our holy place and our nation", the high priest Caiaphas replied by prophesying: "It is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation should not perish."[382] The Sanhedrin, having declared Jesus deserving of death as a blasphemer but having lost the right to put anyone to death, hands him over to the Romans, accusing him of political revolt, a charge that puts him in the same category as Barabbas who had been accused of sedition.[383] The chief priests also threatened Pilate politically so that he would condemn Jesus to death.[384]
Jews are not collectively responsible for Jesus' death
597 The historical complexity of Jesus' trial is apparent in the Gospel accounts. The personal sin of the participants (Judas, the Sanhedrin, Pilate) is known to God alone. Hence we cannot lay responsibility for the trial on the Jews in Jerusalem as a whole, despite the outcry of a manipulated crowd and the global reproaches contained in the apostles' calls to conversion after Pentecost.[385] Jesus himself, in forgiving them on the cross, and Peter in following suit, both accept "the ignorance" of the Jews of Jerusalem and even of their leaders.[386] Still less can we extend responsibility to other Jews of different times and places, based merely on the crowd's cry: "His blood be on us and on our children!", a formula for ratifying a judicial sentence.[387] As the Church declared at the Second Vatican Council: . . . neither all Jews indiscriminately at that time, nor Jews today, can be charged with the crimes committed during his Passion. . . the Jews should not be spoken of as rejected or accursed as if this followed from holy Scripture.[388]
All sinners were the authors of Christ's Passion
598 In her Magisterial teaching of the faith and in the witness of her saints, the Church has never forgotten that "sinners were the authors and the ministers of all the sufferings that the divine Redeemer endured."[389] Taking into account the fact that our sins affect Christ himself,[390] the Church does not hesitate to impute to Christians the gravest responsibility for the torments inflicted upon Jesus, a responsibility with which they have all too often burdened the Jews alone:
We must regard as guilty all those who continue to relapse into their sins. Since our sins made the Lord Christ suffer the torment of the cross, those who plunge themselves into disorders and crimes crucify the Son of God anew in their hearts (for he is in them) and hold him up to contempt. And it can be seen that our crime in this case is greater in us than in the Jews. As for them, according to the witness of the Apostle, "None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." We, however, profess to know him. And when we deny him by our deeds, we in some way seem to lay violent hands on him.[391]
Nor did demons crucify him; it is you who have crucified him and crucify him still, when you delight in your vices and sins.[392]
Catholics who try to stick the blame for the Passion of our Lord on "the Jews" are saying, in effect, "It wasn't because of me Jesus died." This constitutes a denial of baptism and would be a most embarrassing thing to be found saying at the Pearly Gates. I wouldn't be surprised if you catch hell for it–literally.
In case you haven't caught my drift, anti-semitism is not welcome here. Anti-semites are, just so long as they drop their ignorant prejudices and come to learn and live what the Church teaches. Otherwise, buzz off.

Textbook solutions fall seriously short when it comes to today's complex national security problems. Recognizing this, SoSACorp has assembled a top-notch cadre of scientists, engineers, and DIME → HSCB / PMESII* authorities capable of peering beyond traditional paradigms and developing brand new approaches tailored to our customer's needs.
We work problems from all angles – the user side, where we focus on requirements definition, evaluation of potential solutions, and, ultimately, training in selected solution approaches; the systems side, where we formulate solution concepts, architect and engineer our solutions, and fabricate and deploy them; and the HSCB / PMESII side, where we develop and exploit an in-depth understanding of the environments we wish to impact.
Not surprisingly, perhaps, our work involves a wide range of disciplines. These include, among others: system-of-system analysis, architecting, and engineering; intelligence collection and exploitation; advanced sensing; data mining and knowledge discovery; optical, RF, and esoteric signal processing, analysis, and fusion; communications; physical security; cyber security; user-focused system / concept utility analysis; complex campaign design and conduct; and user / operator training.

Another old BOO! collaboration with story by me and art by Manning Krull. This one was killing me in the writing phase, I loved the gag but and the premise but the piece never ended up sitting correctly. Eventually I realized the ending seemed too serious, like I had written this as a legitimate "blow your mind with that twist ending!" story when it had been meant as a gentle parody of such, so I added "DUN DUN DUNNNNHHH!" to the script, Manning did that perfect shot of the Grim Reaper, voila.
The protagonist's name, although never used in the comic, is "Hero H. Champion, The Challenge-Beater". The "H" stands for "Hercules, As Good As Or Better Than"
Slumberjack, from the first published BOO!HALLOWEEN STORIES many moons back. The poem, in case you can't read this low-res copy:
Art and words by me, Calamity Jon
When you sleep and nightmares gambolThrough your dreams and cruelly scrambleSlumber dear into things queerWhich torment you with fright
Somnambulating monster shutYour eyes with threat of murder butHope is near, for now look hereComes Slumberjack, the King of Night!
Swinging fast his fabled hatchetHis steed so fast, no one can catch itYour nightly fears are in arrearsOld Jack has heard your plight
With jabs and spears and roguish sneersGood Jack has won this fight
Have no fear of evening villainsSlumberjack is apt at killin'Even packs of diamondbacksAnd sinister giraffes
The beast beneath your bed, Jack fearsIt not at all, it's left in tearsAs in the sack filled up with tacksJack throws him for a laugh
And say your arms turn into snakesJack's on the job! A piece of cakeTo deftly hack them with his axeAnd thin you down by half
He cuts and wacks you and attacks youTo trim your wheat of chaff
And if your eyes say something direWhy, Jack would pierce them with a wireSo you needn't peep things dark and deepOn which you wouldn't like to peer
Such passion for your innocenceResults in worthy violenceRwards you reap in ample heapsSince Jack now calls you "Frere"
It's Slumberjack, Sleep's DauphinMightier than any manWho'll maim to keep you safe as sheepFrom dreams which end in tears
Let good dreams keep you while you sleepFor Slumberjack is near…

Naveen Patnaik facing his toughest battle yet (Election Special)
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik seems to be facing his toughest political battle as he bids for a fourth straight term in Odisha and struggles to retain his party's 14 Lok Sabha seats out of the state's total of 21.
If opinion polls are any indication, the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) led by him may retain power with a reduced strength, but the resurgence of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could pose a formidable challenge to his political career.
According to the latest opinion polls, the BJP is likely to replace Congress as the main opposition by bagging seven of the state's 21 Lok Sabha seats, an unexpected gain for a party which had drawn a blank in the state in 2009 elections.
The BJD and BJP were ally for 11 years before they parted ways in 2008. They jointly fought the Lok Sabha polls in 1998, 1999 and 2004 and the assembly elections of 2000 and 2004.
In the Lok Sabha polls of 1998, 1999 and 2004, the BJD won 9, 10, and 12 seats respectively, while the BJP won 7, 9, and 7 seats. In the assembly polls of 2000 and 2004, the BJD bagged 68 and 61 seats, while the BJP won 38 and 32 seats respectively.
The BJD won 103 seats in the 147-member assembly in 2009 elections, leaving behind the Congress and BJP with only 27 and six seats respectively.
The opinion poll conducted by private television channel NDTV gives Patnaik's BJD 13 Lok Sabha seats, one less than what it won in the last elections. It predicted just one seat for the Congress.
The BJP said it will bag a sizable number of assembly seats. It believes a government in the state cannot be formed without its support.
The ruling party discounted the opinion poll and said it expects to win 18 Lok Sabha seats and over 100 assembly seats. The BJP said it will get more than what was projected, while a Congress leader said his party may get three-four Lok Sabha seats and retain its assembly seats.
"Narendra Modi factor is not working in Odisha. Some may tilt towards Modi, but this may not be enough to fetch BJP a seat. We will get 18 seats, four more than what we got in the last elections," BJD vice president and Minister Surya Narayan Patro told IANS.
Suresh Pujari, chief spokesman of state unit of the BJP, said the state recorded 75 percent polling in the first phase April 10 and a massive turnout will be repeated in the second and final phase April 17.
"The wave in favour of (BJP's prime ministerial candidate Narendra) Modi is stronger than what we had seen in favour of Vajpayee in 1998 and 1999," he told IANS.
"High voting is an indication that people wanted a change and they are voting for BJP," he said. Pujari said his party is likely to win more than 10 Lok Sabha seats and a sizeable number of assembly seats too.
The BJD secured the 37 percent vote share, the Congress 33 and the BJP 17 percent in 2009. The BJP claimed its vote share will increase to 33 percent due to Modi wave.
Admitting that Congress will not fare well, a senior party leader and former Lok Sabha member said the infighting and poor candidate selection hit the prospect of the Congress.
"We have a sizable vote bank in every seat and whatever we get will be mainly due to the divisions of non-Congress votes. I don't see any wave in favour of the Congress," he said.
Unlike the past, the image of Patnaik has been hit with his government embroiled in several controversies, including mining scam, mid-day meal scam, chit fund scam or the law and order situation. The traditional anti-incumbency factor is also likely to be reflected in the elections, his critics say.
Besides,what may go against is his inability to learn or speak odia fluently, the state's mother-tongue, even after 17 years in politics.
Patnaik, 67, also does not have the support of Pyarimohan Mohapatra, a bureaucrat-turned-politician who worked behind the scenes in the past elections to ensure his success.
He has also played a gamble by denying tickets to about a third of party legislators and half a dozen members of the outgoing Lok Sabha.
While some of those who faced the axe descended as rebel candidates, many others are playing the role of trouble-makers staying behind the scene.
The multi-corner contests in almost all the assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies are also likely to affect the prospect of the ruling party.

Since October 2013, Americans have been enrolling for health insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on Healthcare.gov or through insurance agents and brokers. With only a few weeks to go before the March 31, 2014 ACA enrollment deadline, the US Department of Health and Human Services has reported that more than 5 million Americans have enrolled for health insurance through the state-based exchanges.
TODAY marks the beginning of health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act's new insurance exchanges, for which two million Americans have signed up. Now that the individual mandate is officially here, let me begin with an admission: Obamacare is awful.
We drove to Colorado Springs yesterday to start work on a new chapter of Health Care for All Colorado. HCAC is working to achieve health care reform under an improved and expanded Medicare for all for life system. In order to achieve that goal, we must build grassroots support and capacity for political action. It is good to see the organization reaching out.
PDA is and will always be in the forefront, fighting to achieve universal access to care.
It is a moral outrage for a country as wealthy as ours to leave 60 million people with no reliable access to health care and tens of millions more with inadequate or overly expensive coverage. In addition, despite spending nearly twice as much as other developed nations on health care, our system performs poorly, because the private U.S. insurance bureaucracy soaks up as much as one-third of all the money and pharmaceutical interests overburden America by avoiding price competition.
CWA devised a simple plan for which they were uniquely suited: drag TPP out of the shadows and into the light - one city at a time - using a medium they understand intimately: Daily Newspapers!
Two CWA members - Dave Felice in Denver, CO and Madelyn Elder in Portland, OR have started the ball rolling. We just need to keep up the momentum leading up to a big day of petition deliveries.
Step 1 is to send an Op-Ed to your Daily Newspaper.

Public Citizen Petition - Congress Must Reject Fast Track Authority

Preachers and scholars of preaching should read this excellent book both
for its specific help in interpreting Luke-Acts in sermons and as a model
of how exegesis and homiletics can work together. Wasserberg offers exegesis.
Jacobsen (a creative scholar of the Second Testament in his own right)
shows how the preacher can move from exegetical discovery to the sermon.
The exegesis and the homiletical suggestions are fully integrated.
