Justice, Louisiana styleJuly 10,2013You can actually pinpoint the moment when the oil company BP began to get hosed in Louisiana: March 2012.
By then, BP had paid out around $6.3 billion to some 220,000 people and businesses in the Gulf Coast region for damages suffered as a result of the 2010 oil spill. The money was distributed by Kenneth Feinberg, who had parceled out the 9/11 fund, and subsequently managed other victim compensation schemes.
In return for the payouts, however, Feinberg had insisted that the victims sign documents agreeing not to sue BP a main goal for the company, which was hoping to avoid the kind of drawn-out litigation that went on after the 1989 Exxon-Valdez spill. He had also insisted that the claims be for real, documented harm. Feinberg spent almost as much time turning down bogus claims as he did approving payments to victims.
It almost goes without saying that the Louisiana plaintiffs bar found such a scheme offensive. No litigation, after all, meant no lawyers fees. Plus, the idea that you could have this giant company, so ripe for the plucking and then not pluck?
So a group of lawyers known as the Plaintiffs Steering Committee persuaded their clients to skip the Feinberg process and sue BP. In March 2012, BP settled with those lawyers. As a condition for settling, the plaintiffs lawyers insisted that Feinberg be replaced by Patrick Juneau, a good-ol-boy plaintiffs lawyer himself. BP also agreed to expand the potential universe of claimants, knowing full well that this would likely mean that people whose economic losses had no connection to the spill would receive compensation. It estimated that the settlement would cost it an additional $7.8 billion. On Monday, however, before a federal appeals court in New Orleans, BP finally said enough. Over the ensuing months, the company had come to realize that Juneaus interpretation of such concepts as revenue and earnings was, er, unique.
So unique, in fact, that businesses that not only werent affected by the BP disaster but hadnt even suffered losses were getting millions of dollars. Some had seen increased profits during the oil spill and still got money. Lawyers started trolling for new clients, trumpeting the fact that claims didnt have to have any connection to the disaster. Suddenly, BP was facing the prospect of paying tens of billions of additional dollars to people who had no justifiable claim on the money.
When BP, which is based in London, complained to Judge Carl Barbier, who is overseeing all of the BP litigation in New Orleans, it got nowhere. Do I need to mention that Barbier is himself a former Louisiana plaintiffs lawyer? In fact, he was once the president of Louisiana Trial Lawyers Association. How cozy is that?
I realize that many people dont much care that a multinational corporation responsible for a huge oil spill is being fleeced in Louisiana. But they should, for two reasons. First, although BPs negligence was unquestionably a significant reason for the spill, its response has been the opposite of the unfeeling corporation. It waived the $75 million liability cap that federal law allows. It has spent, so far, $14 billion cleaning up the Gulf and another $11 billion settling claims of various sorts. It has taken its medicine willingly. Yet its efforts to do right by the Gulf region have only emboldened those who view it as a cash machine.
The next time a big company has an industrial accident, its board of directors is likely to question whether it really makes sense to do the right thing the way BP has tried to. Any board comparing BPs response to the gulf oil spill with Exxon-Mobils response to the Exxon-Valdez spill is going to come to the obvious conclusion: Exxon-Mobils litigation-to-the-death strategy which ultimately cost it $4 billion rather than the potential $40 billion liability BP is now facing was the right one. Is that really what we want as a country?
There is one other point. Ive written a number of columns about the importance of rule of law, especially in Russia, where it is so lacking, and where that lack is so detrimental to the Russian economy. A real rule of law gives businesses the confidence they need to make investments. If gives both parties faith that disputes will be settled fairly. It creates certainty.
We like to talk in the United States about our belief in the rule of law, but the truth is that what is going in Louisiana today is not all that different than when a corrupt Russian official creates a fake tax liability to line his pockets at the expense of some hapless company operating in Russia. This is Louisiana, after all, a local plaintiffs lawyer told Bloomberg BusinessWeek recently. A big foreign company with deep pockets, and youre surprised theres a feeding frenzy? Come on, man.
Vladimir Putin couldnt have put it better himself.

Book Description:
In the wake of recent turbulence in the financial markets, institutions that transact OTC derivatives are increasingly relying on the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.'s ("ISDA") Master Agreement. However, because this agreement is extremely complex, many money managers, hedge fund managers, and traders find themselves at a serious disadvantage when negotiating with dealer counterparties. Now, for the first time, there's a complete, practical guide to successfully negotiating the ISDA Master Agreement and its associated Credit Support Annexes. Negotiating Skills for the ISDA Master Agreement helps readers clearly understand what dealers will and won't concede, helping them focus on the issues and provisions they can actually change. Long-time OTC derivatives consultant Seth Phillip Bender clearly introduces the ISDA Master Agreement's documentation architecture, provides drafting recommendations and language suggestions, and offers specific operational tips related to the Credit Support Annex and the collaterization of exposure. He also devotes a full chapter to recent ISDA initiatives, showing how they have affected negotiations, and guiding readers in aligning with them. Simply put, this book gives financial professionals the insights they need to protect their interests in today's OTC derivatives marketplace--fairly, efficiently, and consistently.

MBR Error, After Booting in IDE (Accident)
While I accomplished so much successfully setting up my computer in AHCI earlier, I now blew it all.
I had the SMART command failure error with my SSD, and received a new BIOS from my motherboard manufacturer. I applied it and "Loaded Optimized Defaults" in the BIOS as your supposed to. Stupid me, that means the motherboard activates IDE mode, but I installed Windows in AHCI mode.
So... I switched it back to AHCI after booting into IDE by accident and now I'm getting MBR Error. Is there any way to repair this? I have been trying to repair it through the Windows Install disk, using bootsec & command prompt to no avail.
Likely because where the screen pops up that says: "Use recovery tools that can help fix problems starting Windows. Select an operating system to repair" There's no option to select. So I elected to "Load Drivers" using iaAHCI.inf [Intel ICH10R] from the Intel RST installer (I extracted it on my Laptop). It still doesn't recognize it.
-->This is all pertaining to image 3. on the guide on the link HERE
If I HAVE to install Windows again, I have 2 storage drives installed as well, do I take them out to prevent them from being formatted? They are holding My Documents/My Pictures/My Music/My Videos etc.

Hello again.
You shouldn't have to reinstall, have a look at this tutorial at the link below, it shows how to enable AHCI after the OS has been installed and be sure to post back with any further questions you may have and to keep us informed.
AHCI : Enable in Windows 7 / Vista
|My System Specs
|01 Dec 2010
I have no idea how this happened but I am delighted in how it turned out
I corrupted my IDE MBR through the whole process as well. I used the WinRE environment using BootRec.exe and all of the commands systematically (bootsect.exe was unsuccessful, but may have set the grounds for the unexplained success I got in the end). bootrec /RebuildBcd didn't seem to work, it said "number of Windows partitions: 0" or something to that effect but it did say successful [Also the drive naming scheme was all messed up F: was my Windows HDD, C: my backup]. I came back later and unplugged all of my HDDs in a last ditch effort except my SSD. Instead of the: MBR Error staring me in the face Windows booted for seemingly no apparent reason. I shut down because I'm getting all these critical errors "Drive D:\ missing" etc, and replug everything. Windows boots. I check the registry to prepare to switch over to AHCI, hex value was ALREADY 0. Hmm, I switch to AHCI in BIOS, boot, and to my utmost surprise everything is back to normal and the SMART command failure is gone due to the alpha BIOS Gigabyte provided me with!
It didn't work when I did this last night... oh well.

It looks correct.
I would remove the Active flag from DISK1 Partition1 (Storage D)
You can do it using Diskpart from elevated Command line by marking that partition Inactive: Partition - Mark as Active
Or to see a picture use free Partition Wizard to Modify>Set to Inactive. Free Download Magic Partition Manager Software - Partition Wizard Online
|My System Specs

Neither of those show 'how to' Option Two #2 of this one does.
Startup Repair - Run 3 Separate Times
|My System Specs
|02 Dec 2010
Just as a clarification, you do not need to run Startup Repair 3 times.
Removing the Active flag from your data drive is merely a precaution since we see many cases here where the System boot files are derailed during install or repair because an incorrect partition is marked Active.

While you're planning that summer vacation, Cambridge Audio will be getting down to business—audio business. The company just announced a few upgrades to its lineup, which will be rolling out from now through July.
The company is about to start shipping its new Aeromax 2 bookshelf speakers and the Aeromax 6 floorstanding models. Both of the new speakers will get new gloss black and gloss white finishes, as well as a new construction, new specs, and new overall performance.
Both models have a full-range BMR (Balance Mode Radiator) driver paired with a dedicated bass subwoofer. This allows the crossover between the tweeter and mid/bass woofer to come all the way down to 250Hz, boasting an excellent bass response. It should be noted that this is the fourth generation of the BMR driver, which has a revised honeycomb structure for a smoother, more immersive sound.
Cambridge Audio also spruced up some of its AV receivers. The Azur 751R V2 includes two Texas Instruments 32-bit DSP chips and support for all of the latest codecs and formats, including 4K and 3D video. It boasts high-quality DACs, a dedicated USB input for your computer, an oversized toroidal transformer, and 200 watts per channel for a two-channel setup (and 120 watts with all 7 channels driven). Other features include Cambridge Audio's proprietary ATF audio upsampling technology, six HDMI inputs, two HDMI outputs, and Audyssey's 2EQ auto setup.
The company will also soon ship the Azur 551R V2, which has the 4K and 3D support, the latest Cirrus Logic dual 32-bit DSP chips, six HDMI inputs, and six RCA connections.
Cambridge Audio has listed May for the release of the Aeromax 2 and the Aeromax 6. Those are being sold in pairs for $749 and $1,499, respectively. The Azur 551R V2 will come along in June for $1,099, with the Azur 751R V2 following in July for $2,199.
The Azur 751R V2 can handle the latest codecs and formats, including 4K and 3D video.

Wow. Clay is back in spades, showing his ignorance of the GOP message.
blackwater48 said... "I dare you"
...and then he ran into the shadows? Big tough guy that he is!
I wonder how Mr. Bennett would treat Barack Obama if he had been a Republican, and done exactly the same things he has done since taking office.
I fear Mr. Bennett would vote for anyone with a "D" next to his name on the ballot, even if it was Adolf Hitler.
flpbpress said... "I fear Mr. Bennett would vote for anyone with a "D" next to his name on the ballot, even if it was Adolf Hitler."
I am afraid you are right. Bennett is a hopeless ideologue.
Bennett, you dork, how about a golf bag with a jackass on the side and a club labeled SPEND (our children's money) sitting lonely in the bag.
Whatever's in his bag, our President has driven every economic shot into the tank since he took office. (The recession didn't start until he was a senator with Pelosi and Reid leading Congress.) Time to bet on another golfer. Or draw President Obama with a bag of clubs lacking heads?
Deregulation and spending cuts, or at least spending-growth slowdowns, are surely in the GOP bag as well? I hope so. If our President can't serve an economy, how can he tell us what kinds of light bulbs and toilet tanks to buy? Turn him off and flush him away.
Along flpbpress's line, Larry Elder had a column imagining that John McCain had been elected, after confessing his ignorance of economics, and gotten the results we now see.
The U.S. open is notorious for it's allowing the rough to grow. It is the toughest on the tour. The 'toon doesn't accurately portray the rough the U.S. economy is in. Perhaps Mr. Bennett has in mind the clubs needed to get out of the rough and will present a 'toon showing those clubs and the players selecting the right club to use to recover from the poor shot that got them in so far in the rough. The last U.S. player to take a swing hit the ball further into even higher rough and blamed the last player for his poor shot. The U.S. may not have a player capable of keeping them in the game.
Another accurate 'toon would be showing those players whose scores are too high to make the cut and will be eliminated from the competition. Some currently likely to be cut are Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Italy and the U.S. along with some lesser known players.
Agreed limric, except then there would have to be several bags.
let's see...utility rates are rising, food prices are rising, gas will stay high, jobs are scarce, home prices are dropping, the unemployment rate and underemployment rate are growing, young people can't find work and you libs think it's ok to raise taxes..or think changing the tax rates is the thing to do? to say that's cold is like saying it gets a bit nippy in antartica in the heart of winter. obama handles our economic situation like he does the golf course, like a hack.
obama's leftist agenda needs to move forward.....no matter what. so what if the epa will bankrupt coal companies, while the ones that will still be standing will have to dump employees in order to survive. yeah..that's the right thing to do at this time.
obama's only capable of making things worse, which is what he's done. obama is not a problem solver, he's an idealogue that is hell bent on seeing his statist vision become reality. that's it. if obama and the democrat party hadn 't had their asses handed to them on 11/2/10, who knows how far they would've gone.
Not the only club needed to turn things around. The hack in the WH does not want those clubs. His goal is to turn this country into an European Socialist State. Watch what he does not what he says.
The liberals had so hoped that the chosen one would be the answer to all their dreams! The seas would be lowered, there would be peace in the middle east, Gitmo would be closed, cap & trade passed, their mortgages would be paid, guns would be banned and of course we would all be living in peace and harmony. Turns out that hope and change were nothing but ambiguous words being thrown around by a Marxist with unrealistic ideals and zero experience in producing anything but platitudes. I think the Obama supporters placed more importance, time and effort in picking the next American Idol than they did on picking their president.
Guys, you got exactly what you voted for!
Yes, the "dream" has turned into a nightmare!
What to do? What to do? Get educated, create a new tax system that maintains current revenue, works for everyone and increases spendable income which increases demand which increases jobs and tax revenue. Get educated, go to:
Use the calculator to see personal impact. Watch all the videos and read the information provided. Write or call your congressman and senator.
The Republican solution to all our problems is reducing taxes on wealthy Americans.
George Bush and the Republicans reduced taxes on wealthy Americans 10 years ago and the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
Reduced taxes have been enacted now for 10 years and the unemployment rate in America is 9.1%.
Mission Accomplished, RIGHT guys?
The fair tax proposal doesn't project the revenue from illegal gains or unreported income which is huge. Taxing people on what they spend with a prebate that returns the taxes paid on essentials such as food, clothing and shelter makes more sense than the manipulative IRS codes. The mega wealthy and politicians will oppose it since it taxes the mega wealthy on their higher spending and it takes a lot of power from politicians that use the tax system to pick winners and losers and to show favor. Obviously the IRS which is abolished with this proposal will oppose it. What service is it the Internal Revenue Service provides us? What service does the IRS provide politicians? It is time for a truly bipartisan grass roots uprising insisting on a Fair Tax. Enough people educated and understanding the proposal will result in an increasing pressure on the elected elite to support the Fair Tax bill that is hung up in committee.
Why is the federal government not by law mandated to spend no more than the revenue it receives from all sources? The government should be required to either increase revenue or reduce spending to meet any budget proposal. Those submitting a budget should be required to specify sources of added revenue if there is a short fall. That is the way any responsible provider of a family manages a budget or they will find themselves facing bankruptcy. Why should government be any different? They aren't, we are facing bankruptcy but the majority of people are in denial.
Another club in Obama's bag keeping the economy from recovering is Increase Regulations along with Increase Taxes and Obamacare. He should be decreasing taxes and not piling on more regulations on business that discourage them to invest, create jobs and discourage businesses to come back to this country. His policies are doing just the opposite of what should be being done to improve the economy. The Looney left has no clue. Just little lap dogs following along because they have been brainwashed over the decades to believe the Democrates have their best interest at heart when just the opposite is true. They want power over them by offering more handouts so they become depentent on the government = the dumbing down of America.
The George Soros factor: This man had destroyed currencies all over the world for his own financial gain. He found the perfect puppet to back in order to do it to this country. Wake up folks!
Are you suggesting increasing taxes will increase employment? I doubt there is verifiable evidence that increasing or decreasing taxes has much affect on the economy and jobs as a whole. Increases and decreases are the politicians way of showing favor and deciding winners and losers. Both parties have their favored wealthy and the party in control changes the system to accommodate their favorites.
There are examples of tax decreases increasing tax revenue and examples of tax increases increasing tax revenue and there are examples of the exact oposite happening in both cases.
rufus..that's crap. to blame bush lowering the tax rates for the high unemployment rate now is ludicrous.
actually the unemployment rate is closer to 17% and the underemployment rate is around 40% and bush has nothing to do with that.
you libs got nothin' but the class envy card, and the race card when the class envy card doesn't work.
what you libs don't get is that when obama and the libs took over, small to medium size businesses, which employ most of the people in this country, saw nothing but a bleak future with an intrusive government making it more difficult for them to be profitable. obama, until he was put in his place by the electorate on 11/2/10, was openly anti-private sector. now he's still the same, only he's toned it down because he wants to get reelected.
you can't come after the private sector like obama and pelosi have done and expect people to reinvest and have confidence in the future. confidence is everything. if someone feels that they're not going to be profitable, why should they stay in business? just to feed the government revenue.
Imagine for a moment that the tax cutting path taken and pursued since the early 1980s had not happened. That was the moment when US debt began to spike upward relentlessly for thirty years. Had we not taken that path, or had we used it for short term stimulus only, we would have paid more in taxes, but the US would not be facing financial collapse.
Sure we could've/should've cut spending, but that should've been part of any permanent tax cut. We didn't. We are failing, and you boys are full of misdirected recriminations. Clay is spot on. When (unbalanced) tax cuts are your principle driver, your long ball will end up in deep water.
Those who think Obama created this mess, or that (fill in the blank) can solve it, are whistling in the wind. This is an American problem, created over decades, that will require an American solution. When the pain becomes unbearable, the partisans will find common ground. Until then, the American slide will continue. IMO.
nucanuck said... "Those who think Obama created this mess"
You can find all kinds of people that think Obama made things worse but you will be hard pressed to find anyone who thinks he created it. Your statement is a red herring that attempts to discredit through mischaracterization.
The Bush tax cuts were a revenue drain because they were temporary and as such had relatively limited simulative affects. In order for tax cuts to actually be simulative the starting tax rate has to be on the diminishing return side of the Laffer curve AND they need to be permanent.
It was quite possible that we were on the diminishing return side of the Laffer curve and the Bush tax cuts were big enough that we just moved too far onto the other slope to an area of lower revenue. We probably will never know, because the economic environment shifted due to the collapse following 9-11 and because of uncertainty about what would happen after the temporary cut expired.
Simple minded politicians don't seem to know that you need to first know where you are on that curve before you can say increasing or decreasing the tax rate will increase revenue.
I suspect that we are on the increasing side of the curve and that a marginal increase would in fact increase revenue. If a modest increase was made on a "permanent" basis, without a predetermined expiration, it may actually help stimulate the economy by providing some certainty about future taxation and increasing confidence that this financial mess can be brought under control.
It would be folly to support any kind of tax increase until we have some kind of budget reform and spending cuts in Washington. They have already demonstrated that they have no respect for the taxpayer's money and are willing to wantonly waste what we work so hard to earn. Fix the spending side, which is the real problem, and ice the cake with a permanent, but small, tax increase (across the board, not just on the "evil" rich)
Clay Bennett's simple minded partisanship is a brilliant example of why Washington does not work. Instead of examining the issues he tries to discredit the other side by mischaracterizing their position. People spend all their time dealing with lies like this instead of working to understand and address the issues.
Bennett and his crappy little cartoon are a perfect metaphor for poor politics.
BigRidgePatriot said: "Clay is back in spades, showing his ignorance of the GOP message. Bennett is a hopeless ideologue. . . Big tough guy that he is! . . . Bennett, you dork. . . Bennett and his crappy little cartoon are a perfect metaphor for poor politics"
Hmmmm . . . So what is missing, BigRidgePatriot? . . . I see you've blessed us with five of your anti-Bennett rants, but you've yet to identify any club that is actually missing from the GOP bag. . . Is it really fair to rant at the artist for failing to include something that apparently even you realize doesn't exist? Take it out on the GOP not Bennett.
An ideal solution is to impeach the bumbling, constitution-ignoring idiot. The House has the votes and the grounds to impeach successfully. So what if the Senate fails to remove him from office? His legacy, like Slick Willie's, will be numbered with the impeached presidents...that will make three.
One thing further...it will certainly get his attention, if nothing else.
The House can make its own grounds of what constitutes "high crimes and misdemeanors", but this cite explains it rather well:
"The [Framers] choice of the phrase "High Crimes and Misdemeanors" left the exact definition of impeachable offenses open to interpretation by Congress. It has invited considerable debate, but it is generally read to mean both indictable offenses and other serious noncriminal misconduct. The latter has included corruption, dereliction of constitutional duty, and violation of limitations on the power of an office." [Emphasis mine] See http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/impeachment for additional information.
Can someone, anyone or Mr. Bennett please show the opposite side of this issue. A bag with the clubs needed and who will make the right club selection. I know the ball is in the rough, I know it will take a miracle shot to remain in the game. Who should take the shot with what? I can't see the same one hitting it so deep in the rough taking the next shot.
Hambone said: "You guys just don't show any patience. Tricle Down will kick in any minute now!"
The anticipation is so exciting, isn't it Hambone? I wonder if the Great Trickle Down will borrow Santa's list so he'll know who has been naughty or nice? . . . Or maybe the Great Trickle has been negoitiating a big basket loan with the Easter Bunny and is planning to fill them with special chocolate trickle down treats for each of us.
nucanuck said... "The Laffer curve has always been a Laugher, a special flavor of Kool Aid for those predisposed towary economic alchemy. Most of the adherents have seen the light, but a few can still be found in the economic backwoods"
The Laffer curve is just common sense nucanuck! If you raise the tax rate high enough you eventually start to kill the golden goose and see a drop in tax revenue. Does nucanuck believe otherwise? Do you think you can raise tax rates to 100% and expect to have an economy left to tax?
Assuming your answer is No, you cannot raise taxes indefinitly, then you have to accept the Laffer curve. What is left subject to debate is, "where is the maximum revenue point"?
I indicated that I think our tax rates are probably below the maximum revenue point and that we may be able to get more revenue by increasing taxes.
Now what do you think you might have accomplished with your, "Laugher...Kool Aid...alchemy...economic backwoods" hogwash? You again do not discuss an issue but just throw around stupid pointless comments! Typical Leftist.

You are kidding, right? Do really think all they are proposing is tax cuts? There is tax restructuring, with a minimum of simplification but also a flat tax and ultimately the FairTax. There is complete elimination of corporate income tax. How about removing barriers to domestic energy production, so we can employ Americans to generate energy instead of exporting wealth? You can convert more or all of the states to right to work states. You could eliminate many government agencies that have made it their mission to put thousands of pages of stupid regulations in the way of the economy. I doubt you are going to actually read this, since you know it all already, so I will stop there. All of the above and much more is being talked about by the GOP.
In case you have not noticed, the Democrats still have control of the Senate and the Presidency. That you leftists want to pick ONE of the Republican ideas and obsess about it shows that you have zero ideas of your own, except, as I noted earlier, spend, Spend, SPEND until you have brought the economy to financial collapse. You and your cohorts show the maturity of a herd of 5 year olds.
hambone said... "What fools the GOP are!"
The GOP has no monopoly on foolishness in Washington. Do any of you lefties want to talk about the issues or are we just going to throw spitballs at each other all day?
Obama plays more golf than any other President in the last 50 years.
When President Eisenhower played golf the media complained about it.
When Obama playes golf the media seems to ignore it!
"It saddens me when sometimes my fellow Republicans duck and cover in the face of pressure from the left. Our party cannot be all things to all people," Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) said at a Republican party event in Louisiana today.
"Our opponents on the left are never going to like us, so let's quit trying to curry favor with them!" To hear his full speech http://realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/06/18/perry_left_never_going_to_like_us_so_lets_stop_trying_to_curry_favor_with_them.html Amen, Gov. Perry and again: No Plan, No Clue, N0bama
hambone..trickle down?
you must mean whatever scraps and crumbs the elitists in washington allow us to scramble for after they have their hired help shake off of their table clothes.
maybe obama and his wife will hold a lottery. the lucky winner will get to lap up the remnants of the chilli dog on obama's plate after he wolfs it down. or, maybe....the winner gets poke around in the bottom of michelle obama's $6,000.000 purse for loose change.
what fools you libs are ......the man you thought was your leftist knight in shining armor is nothing more than a bumbling, fingerpointing horse's ass. you thought this guy was "the one"
you want to know how to help this country and put it back on the right track?
first of all...get obama's ass out of office. i shudder when i think about how far we've fallen from george washington to this marxist, chilli dog munching bozo.
get rid of the existing tax codes.
implement the fair tax.
phase out social security..
give all new businesses/start ups a one year moratorium on all taxes....all taxes....
eliminate all subsidies.
lift restrictions on drilling and oil exploration.
get rid of the 17th ammendment...make senator answer to their states and not to the elitist washington establisment and power brokers.
BRP said to mntl; You and your cohorts show the maturity of a herd of 5 year olds.
BRP why the compliment? Remember, at five a kid can walk and reason. I guess you mean they need someone to tell them what to do, when to do it and make all the rules to live by since they aren't ready for that on their own. I guess asking them to read and understand something like the Fair Tax is asking too much. If they liked it but their leader didn't they wouldn't dare challenge the leader.
No leader is promoting the Fair Tax bill. Only the less rich in the senate and house say they support it. The Fair Tax is not the European VAT tax. You may have just proven the the five year olds analogy. A five year old would say I don't want to study just tell me the answer. They would parrot the adult they liked with or without good reason. Anyone capable of and willing to understand it would support it if they weren't super rich or in office. You are right there is not enough unwealthy people that will do that so it is not likely to ever be an option. An inaccurate statement from those opposed or not understanding will lead the lemmings to opposing it also.
Geez... why is it that the people who accuse others of being Nazis (or voting for hitler) are always the ones that you could imagine back in 1945, saying "I was only following orders" when asked why they supported the holocaust. Hitler was definitely not a liberal, so it amuses me that it always seems to be conservatives trying to play the Hitler-card. But I guess they've never heard of Stalin.
Anyway, I have been reading these comment pages for a while now and finally decided to stand up for Clay and the other good people on here, who are sick of the ignorant idiots who can't remember which President got us in this mess!!!
Of course my last post was tongue-in-cheek, tax cuts for the rich solves everything! As they are obviously more important than people who don't have jobs or food! Also blaming Obama for EVERYTHING, some how helps aswell, though Fox hasn't explained why yet.
Those on left keep telling us how the Busch tax cuts benefited only the rich. Yet when the democracts controlled the House and Senate for the first two years of Obama being in the White House they did nothing about the tax rate. In December 2010 Obama made a deal with the Repbulicans a month after the democracts lost in the mid term elections to extend these same tax cuts for two years, with Obama saying that raising taxes now would have been bad for the economy.
Why were the Bush tax cuts bad for the economy but now they will be good for the economy for the next two years?
Democracts seem to forget that Clinton signed a 1997 tax bill that lowered the capital gains rate from 28% to 20%, added a child tax credit, and established higher limits on tax exclusion for IRAs and estates.
The 1997 rate reduction on capital gains unleashed the economy, causing capital investment to more than triple by 1998 and double again in 1999. Treasury receipts for this category of tax obligation increased dramatically.
BigRidgePatriot said: "There is complete elimination of corporate income tax."
But corporations are "persons" now, BigRidgePatriot. Don't they want to pay their fair share like the rest of us? They benefit from our roads, highways, freeways, law enforcement, fire departments etc. Besides with all of the tax loopholes I doubt the majority are struggling to pay their taxes these days.
BigRidgePatriot said: "How about removing barriers to domestic energy production, so we can employ Americans to generate energy instead of exporting wealth?"
What kind of jobs, barriers and energy production are you referencing, BRP?
BigRidgePatriot said: "You can convert more or all of the states to right to work states."
How will lowering wages help the economy, BRP? As it stands right now, most people are struggling to pay for the basics. To spend more, you have to make more.
BigRidgePatriot said: "You could eliminate many government agencies that have made it their mission to put thousands of pages of stupid regulations in the way of the economy."
Exactly which government agencies are the Republicans proposing to eliminate, BRP?
If those in power mess with the Fair Tax they can muck it up just as they have the current tax system. The difference is the Fair Tax is so transparent eveyone will know if they do anything to or with it. I watched one member of congress interviewed on CNBC say the reason he didn't like it was it takes away the ability of congress to manipulate things they think need to be manipulated. That confirmed what I had already concluded.
You picked the two worst examples to defend liberal ideology. They both claimed to be liberals and for the people. Apparently you haven't read Hitler's strategy, listened to his speeches and promises to people to gain power. Hitler was one of the greatest orators in history, he could make a very convincing motivational speech. Apparently you haven't studied Stalin's philosophy of wealth redistribution and everyone being equal. You hear both parties using many of the same words used by these two notorious leaders to get the sheep to follow them. None in either party sounds more like them than Obama.
Where do you get the data that allowing the Bush tax cuts to expire would generate 3 to 4 trillion per year? I agree they should have expired as scheduled but I question the accuracy of revenue you attribute to doing so. Clinton's label of "slick Willy" didn't result from his sexual exploits. He added selectively to taxes. One significant example is the universal connectivity charge on every phone line in the country, the gas tax and a few others that still generate a lot of revenue other than that on income. He changed the earned income credit in an attempt to off set the affect on those with lower incomes. The earned income credit is welfare in disguise and redistribution at it's best.
Respond if you want to but I am convinced mntl is a babbling idiot that buys hook line and sinker any take from others and give to me philosophy that is in play. Her response a persons right to belong or not belong to a union and paying union dues is a good example of her ignorance. She concludes the right to work means people will automatically earn less. She will never figure out that it may be better to earn less for a while and stay employed than for a business to discontinue operating entirely.
mntl, if she/he works has to be in some kind of non-profit, government or public employee position. The typical selfish, greedy and envious element of society that dislikes anyone successful and thinks it should be taken from them and shared with her/him and others.
She/he will never realize those corporations she/he thinks are all crooks paying no taxes, polluting and abusing people are where people work and pay taxes which provides all those things she says corporations use. She can't make the connection between the cost of the goods and services she buys and the taxes the producer pays. One reason is she/he more than likely purchases primarily imported products without looking for American made. Once she/he realizes the supreme court ruling allowing corporate political contributions helped the democrats more than their opponents she/he will be favorable to that ruling.
Harp3339 said: "if she/he works has to be in some kind of non-profit, government or public employee position. The typical selfish, greedy and envious element of society that dislikes anyone successful and thinks it should be taken from them and shared with her/him and others."
Goodness, Harp3339. A rather mean spirited statement. . . And all because I think corporations have responsibilities to their communities, need to clean up the environmental messes they make, and need to pay their fair share of taxes. . . Oh, well.
So do you agree then, that there are many clubs missing from the GOP bag?
The better cartoon would have been a GOP bag full of all of those clubs I mentioned sitting next to the Jackass bag with a single club marked "SPEND".
BigRidgePatriot said: "So do you agree then, that there are many clubs missing from the GOP bag?"
I'm sorry, BigRidge. Those GOP sticks might help you to get your foot in the door of a corporate country club, but do not qualify for the big The Economic Open.
Hope you have a happy Father's Day. Later, ML
Stop blaming Bush.
The Obama Administration is running the show now. So blame Obama and his administration full of career politicians!

To help kick 2010 off right, Intel has filled out the rest of its current-gen processor line-up with the help of Westmere. We're taking a look at the desktop variant here, which brings a lot to the table compared to the previous generation. For those who've been holding out for that next affordable PC upgrade, the wait has been worth it.
It goes without saying that power efficiency is at the forefront of many consumers' minds today, and for good reason. Whether you are trying to save money or the environment – or both – it's good to know just how much effort certain vendors are putting into their products to help them excel in this area. Both AMD and Intel have worked hard to develop efficient chips, and that's evident with each new launch. The CPUs are getting faster, and use less power, and hopefully things will stay that way.
To help see what kind of wattage a given processor draws on average, we use a Kill-A-Watt that's plugged into a power bar that's in turn plugged into one of the wall sockets, with the test system plugged directly into that. The monitor and other components are plugged into the other socket and is not connected to the Kill-A-Watt. For our system specifications, please refer to our methodology page.
To test, the computer is first boot up and left to sit at idle for five minutes, at which point the current wattage is recorded if stable. To test for full CPU load, LinX is run with 2560MB memory usage for a total of five minutes. During that run, the highest point the wattage reaches on the meter is captured and becomes our "Max Load".
Throughout all of our tests so far, Clarkdale has proven to be in a unique class. Compared to all other dual-core CPUs, it's extremely fast, and showcases gains of between 10 – 35% on average. Of course, being built on a 32nm process, along with its architecture upgrades, we could assume that the Core i5-661 will also excel where power consumption is concerned, and we're spot on with that… just look at the results.
Because all of our other configurations were tested with a discrete graphics card, I included two sets of results here. One has the GPU installed (Radeon HD 4870), and the other without, so the IGP steps up to the plate. With or without the discrete card, the i5-661 turns out to be the most power efficient of the entire bunch. It's idle power draw doesn't change much from its closest competitors, but the only CPU to come close to its low load is AMD's budget 240e dual-core.

The Irish are Laughing Today.
Some may say the glass is half empty...
Some may say the glass is half full.
But the Irish will forever say...
An Irish Wish
May there always be work for your hands to do,
May your purse always hold a coin or two.
May the sun always shine warm on your windowpane,
May a rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you,
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Why hugging is important in a relationship
Why Hugging is important
The very first thing that comes to everyone mind is What do we have to do to keep a happy relationship.Every person have its own opinion but very percentage of people say cuddling with each other let us happy oftenly. Cuddling which means the best way to show your affection or in general sense if we state cuddling its HUGGING your partner.
Let me ask you how often you hug your partner?how many times you show your love,affection by giving a hug?.I guess you must be thinking yes when we hugged last time and finally you don't remember it.This way of sharing your emotions with each other not only keeps you connected in a emotional way but with keeps you attached when you are not together.
A hug has lot of emotions attached to it,it can be caring,sweet,sensitive and even sexy.To a women Hug means a lot,you all know women loves teddy and they love to sleep embracing their teddy so just for instance think What if that teddy is replaced by you how protective,how loving she will feel.
So a simple hug will change her emotions for you,she will feel strong with you which indeed will help her to be your side and gives you strength all the time.Now lets see what a hug matters to a guy or a man.When a man is feeling insecure,feeling frustrated,feeling stress-full, the only thing that is helpful is HUG.A one hug ends all his insecurity,frustration and stress.You will see how much relax he will feel after a hug from your side.
For a couples to have a long term relationship one should know the meaning of hug is.What a hug has so much meaning in a couple's life.If we believe on facts Hugging is a kind of body language which transfers the affection and it is believed that hugging can say more that what words can't. If you don't have word to say just give hug to her or him.
It also removes the differences and helps to cover the gap between couple.Most of the person thinks its important to have physical relation to keep relation grow but is it everything to keep your relation grow or is it seriously the thing which actually keeps relation grow.The answer is BIG NO,to have a exponential relation i.e. to let your closeness grow one should have intimacy which can be achieved by a simple hug and if your intentions are clear you will see how good it feels,how attached you feel.
If we see our day to day life now the time life is so stress full,full of anxiety one should have a correct partner who helps you out to stay happy but if you are emotionally attached to your partner which can only be achieved by cuddling,showing affection one can have a happy life so when we are under stress in our daily lives,hugging is something really important.
Now if we talk Biologically its proven that when you in having physical intimacy through cuddle or hug your body produces a hormone called OXYTOXIN which actually makes you feel good and relaxed so that you have a positive attitude towards life.
It also helps you to counter any negative vibe and also to make your environment happy.Also the people around you would like to have your company and will enjoy it so the every consequence of it would be in favor of you.
Hug actually forces you to be out of your social and public life and to enter in your some personal moments.It lets you connect emotionally and spiritually joined.
It basically makes you stop from whatever you are doing and invest your all interest,affection in your mate.That time every word other person say means something to you and at that time not only you are opening yourself rather making your relation grow.It makes you to understand your partner.The hug opens the path for the exchange of your thoughts,exchange of your love.
On funny side its free not of any cost and in turn what you get Your relation alive.
So after reading this article just think for a while have you ever thought about this and try to do it once you will see in a Magical world u enters

The Specials were the kings of Two Tone, the second-wave mix of punk and ska that got gigantic in the '70s and '80s and greatly inspired Southern California's own burst of ska-punk later. And so the Specials' original members Lynval Golding and Roddy Byers (a.k.a. Roddy Radiation) are better qualified than anyone to lead this review of classics old and new, augmented by Byers' own outfit, the Skabilly Rebels. (Who seem to sound less like Prince Buster and Gene Vincent and more like Elvis Costello and Roy Loney doing it up 1979 style, which is pretty sweet in its own way.) This is a West Coast-only Two Tone Twins tour, so revel in the ska-pertunity denied the rest of the U.S.A while you can!

Experts' Corner
Can We Still Afford Higher Education?
The basic inputs of higher education—highly educated instructors, technology, laboratories, for example—are expensive for good economic reasons.
We live in a time of information abundance, which far too many of us see as information overload. With the sum total of human knowledge, past and present, at our fingertips, we're faced with a crisis of attention: which ideas should we engage with, and why? Big Think is an evolving roadmap to the best thinking on the planet — the ideas that can help you think flexibly and act decisively in a multivariate world.
A word about Big Ideas and Themes — The architecture of Big Think
Big ideas are lenses for envisioning the future. Every article and video on bigthink.com and on our learning platforms is based on an emerging "big idea" that is significant, widely relevant, and actionable. We're sifting the noise for the questions and insights that have the power to change all of our lives, for decades to come. For example, reverse-engineering is a big idea in that the concept is increasingly useful across multiple disciplines, from education to nanotechnology.
Themes are the seven broad umbrellas under which we organize the hundreds of big ideas that populate Big Think. They include New World Order, Earth and Beyond, 21st Century Living, Going Mental, Extreme Biology, Power and Influence, and Inventing the Future.
Browse videos featuring experts across a wide range of disciplines, from personal health to business leadership to neuroscience.
Big Think's contributors offer expert analysis of the big ideas behind the news.

CIA: Yes, We Imprisoned Mandela, Distributed Crack/AIDS. Problems?
Reggie McGhast | On 18, Dec 2013
On Wednesday, former President and CIA Director George H.W. Bush broke standard policy with BET's Shanae Jackson and admitted the CIA's involvement in the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela, as well as the distribution of crack cocaine and AIDS to urban blacks in the late 60s and 70s. He added, "Just fucking try to do something 'bout it."
Bush Senior's confession wasn't limited to confirming the public's previously held suspicions. Throughout the hour and a half interview he continuously nursed on a 16-yr Lagavulin while disclosing vivid details on a wide range of Agency operations. From overthrowing democratically elected leaders in Chile, Ecuador, Panama, Venezuela, Columbia, and Argentina to 'pranking foreigners' on their own soil, Bush's account of CIA wrong doing was both comprehensive and horrifying considering after every atrocious tale the former President felt the urge to issue a challenge to all who would oppose his clandestine little club.
"This one time in the motherland," he sputtered, "we ordered up a twink Irish whore from a guy I did a lil' business with in the 70s. This kid shows up ready to polish us off when six of my best men zip tie his hands and stuff him in a rolling luggage bag. We went out for drinks and ended up staying a week above another bar, so he never got out." Bush Senior took a long drag on his Cuban before continuing. "We had MI6 list him as a field agent to add a little intrigue when the police ruled it a suicide. The papers love that shit."
George H.W. Bush also divulged that his agency's most successful operation, Panhandle Express, was also the most damaging for economic stability among minorities, both in the U.S. and in Mexico.
"When we started pumping the blacks full of crack and heroin in the 60s, the program only worked if we could hit a high rate of saturation. So if 9% of Harlem blacks or more weren't addicted to something, our network of dealers/distributors would have problems sustaining market penetration around the middle schools in less than a decade. Luckily, we ended up hitting just under 15% across the board so the program has carried on naturally without agency involvement ever since. We're all very proud."
"Of course this also meant the supply chain in Columbia and Mexico had to be robust enough to support that kind of demand. So I guess you could say the CIA is also directly responsible for the coca fields and the cartels and the lawlessness and the beheadings and all that." Bush Senior lost himself in a cold, dead stare. "Oops."

By Sharrie from Wyoming on May 10, 2011
Super easy to assemble.
Have held up well with the use from a family with 3 teens.
They look modern, but are still comfy.
The only complaint I have is when you sit in them they have just a lil' give to them, but I've been told you can expect that from most adjustable stools.
