LAS VEGAS, November 8, 2012 – After every election there are celebrations for the winning side and recriminations for the defeated. Yet what usually fails to transpire is an actual understanding of what happened.
Recent past elections provided clues to what the Democrats grasped and the Republicans ignored in this last election.
This was a very close election and recriminations are best left to the side. Leftists like E.J. Dionne of the Washington Post and Joan Walsh at Salon will write their typical drivel about how conservatism is now dead and liberalism will rule forever and ever by divine left. Serious individuals saw President Obama win the popular vote 50-49%. He won Virginia by one point, Florida by less than one point, and Ohio by between one and two points.
Had Ohio been slightly closer, America would be buried in counts and recounts right now. President Obama hung on by his fingernails, so any liberals lacking humility may wish to remember what happens to politicians who get full of themselves and mistake a second chance for a mandate for one-party governance.
Yes, Barack Obama is the luckiest man on Earth. He was losing by five points nationally in 2008 before the financial crisis hit. After a disastrous first debate in 2012, he was down four points nationally before being rescued by Hurricane Sandy. MSNBC's Chris Matthews took flak this week for thanking God for the hurricane. However, luck does not explain everything.
President Obama should have been defeated by twenty points, in the same way Al Gore should have won in a landslide in 2000.
One key reason President Obama defeated Governor Romney is that negative campaigning works. In 1988, campaign strategist Lee Atwater savaged Michael Dukakis, allowing George Herbert Walker Bush to turn a 17 point deficit into a 13 point lead and eventual eight point victory.
In 2004, George W. Bush could not have asked for a better attack dog than current Democrat and former Georgia Senator Zell Miller. John Kerry was defined as weak, wobbly and a man who would try to defend America with "spitballs."
The 2012 version of Lee Atwater came in the form of barracuda throat-slitter Stephanie Cutter. Her job is not to make the world a better place, spread peace and love, or help a single struggling American have a better life. Her job is to be a soulless, ruthless political operative with no regard for standards of humanity.
Her job is to win at all costs. She did her job very well, defining Governor Romney as a 1950s patriarch and patrician who was waging a war on women and wanted to reinstitute slavery, all the while burning one-hundred dollar bills to smoke his cigars (Ironically it is President Obama who smokes. Mr. Romney does not even drink alcohol).
Yet the biggest reason President Obama was able to survive is because of the battle between "competence" and "ideology." When two candidates choose these two different approaches, ideology will emerge victorious every single time.
In 1988, Governor Dukakis ran on competence. He was a technocrat, and "good jobs at good wages" was a bland, uninspiring message. Vice President Bush was not particularly ideological, but he was able to run in 1988 under the promise that it would be Ronald Reagan's third term, only more "kinder and gentler."
That no longer worked in 1992 for him because he was seen as so non-ideological that he had to switch to competence in a year when his stewardship was questionable.
Bill Clinton was non-ideological, but he had the fortune of running both times against candidates that also ran on competence. Bob Dole even joked once that he should walk into a Pearle Eyeglass Vision Center to get one.
John Kerry ran on competence. George W. Bush ran on ideology. In 2012, the roles were reversed. Mitt Romney is a smart, capable, technocrat. He is a good, decent man with many admirable qualities. Yet the clear ideology was missing.
Think of competence as an assistant coach of a sports teams. They develop a game plan, draw "Xs and Os" on the chalkboard, and move players around like chess pieces. They handle strategy. Head coaches bring the ideology. They need to inspire people. The best head coaches have players who will go through a brick wall for them at 6:00am on a Wednesday morning in a grocery parking lot screaming like banshees ready to play ball.
Ideology is the burning passion, the fire and brimstone.
Competence is the substance, but ideology brings the style and symbols that matter so much in sports and politics. People want to be led. They desperately want something to believe in, and a human being to lead them to glory.
President Obama is an avowed leftist. While he continues to hide this from those in the center who just want jobs, his base knows he is one of them. He is their demigod, and they will walk through a burning building for him.
Governor Romney is a good human being who was "acceptable."
Lastly, boldness usually defeats cautiousness. Sports coaches are so afraid of getting fired that they play "not to lose." The best coaches of all time like Vince Lombardi play to win.
They gamble when others play it safe.
George W. Bush had utter contempt for "small ball." His presidency was consequential because "go big or go home" was his method of leading. Bill Clinton had higher approval ratings, but this is because he was virtually irrelevant in his second term. He focused on small items like school uniforms.
While rolling the dice can result in snake eyes, Americans tend to reward boldness and punish timidity. Mitt Romney and John McCain were so scared of being called racists that they did not go after Barack Obama's weaknesses the way Rudy Giuliani did in New York with David Dinkins.
Giuliani is famous for telling crowds that the people he offends are those he "wants to offend and deserve to be offended." Chris Christie's bluntness works.
George W. Bush was not scared to make unpopular decisions. Yet John McCain and Mitt Romney tried to run from him rather than take the risky unpopular approach of forcefully defending the Bush years. President Obama attacked the Bush years and was rewarded for it by just enough people.
Republicans going forward need to "grow a pair." They need to stop being scared of being demonized. They will be demonized. That will always happen. Winners from Ronald Reagan to George W. Bush forcefully talked past their critics with zero fear of being disliked. They brought the ideology.
Competence is for after the election when it is time to govern. Ideology is what gets the winning candidate elected. As Lee Atwater and Stephanie Cutter grasped, to make an omelette, first you have to break some eggs.

President Nixon wanted to "cash out" the Food Stamps program--in other words, to give recipients cash they could spend as they chose instead of stamps that they had to spend on food. One group strongly opposed giving recipients the option of spending the money on something other than food--the agriculture lobby. Agriculture Secretary Clifford M. Hardin sided with the farmers. The President's top domestic policy aide held a White House strategy session to determine how the administration would work with Congress to pass welfare reforms.
President Nixon: [c00:52:15] Well, sit down. Let's see what you have for me today.
John D. Ehrlichman∇: Well, on the face of it, not much. We had a wrap-up meeting this morning on welfare reform. [We] had Labor, Agriculture, HEW∇, others in to make sure that all this testimony that's going to go on this week was in line. And, briefly summarized, [Wilbur] Mills may try to separate out Social Security and put it through right away and hold welfare back.1 There's a very respectable view that Mills doesn't want any welfare bill at all. There are those who disagree with that.
President Nixon: I don't think he wants it. My view is that he doesn't, because I think he's going to play his plan politically now. I think he played it that way last year. Is that your . . ? That's the theory.
Ehrlichman: Well, that, plus the fact that it's not very palatable to him to see Long and the others sitting over there in the Senate ready to criticize whatever it is that he sends over there.2
President Nixon: Oh, yeah.
Ehrlichman: And he's got a position of leadership that's enhanced in the House now which he doesn't like to jeopardize.
President Nixon: You mean, enhanced by opposing the other—
Ehrlichman: Well, now, he's the one of the big three in the House through the change—
President Nixon: Oh.
Ehrlichman: —in the Speaker and so on.3 He has a very dominant role in the House. And he's more and more exercising his muscle. And he's [unclear] Dick Cook, and I put a lot of weight in Dick's view of things. Mills is not anxious to let Long and the Senate Finance Committee wash out off a welfare bill that he sends over there, [unclear] liberals or conservatives, so that he's going to be very slow about sending it over. [HEW Secretary] Elliot [Richardson∇] feels that Mills will try and couple welfare reform and a substitute for revenue sharing, probably federalizing welfare, and send them over.
President Nixon: And Social Security.
Ehrlichman: And not Social Security. He suspects that he will try and slip it off.
President Nixon: Have it go separate.
George P. Shultz∇: I'd say that in view of the congressional people—as distinct from Elliot, who I've been—if he does that, then he'll have an awful hard time getting that very expensive piece of legislation through the House unless he gets a lot of support from here.
Ehrlichman: Right.
President Nixon: It's a bill that [unclear] welfare reform—
Ehrlichman: —and federalize—
President Nixon: —welfare reform?
Ehrlichman: A tougher welfare version, that is, tougher work requirements—
President Nixon: Yes.
Ehrlichman: —and so forth—
President Nixon: Yeah.
Ehrlichman: —and send it over—
President Nixon: And hit revenue sharing?
Ehrlichman: —and a form of welfare sharing, so to speak.4
President Nixon: Our people behind it?
Ehrlichman: [Unclear] Dick Cooke and other congressional relations people think that Mills could not get that through the House without [unclear] support.
President Nixon: Why—why not? [Unclear.]
Ehrlichman: Well, just because there—there's—
President Nixon: Democrats wouldn't take it?
Ehrlichman: —pretty strong sentiment against welfare sharing. It disadvantages so many states—
President Nixon: Oh, yeah. That's finally getting through, is it?
Ehrlichman: Well, I don't know, but that's their sense of it this morning. I don't think they've counted any noses. It looks rather premature.
President Nixon: Well, it ought to get through state by state.
Ehrlichman: We talked about cashing out Food Stamps.5 We talked about public service employment. We talked about tough work requirements.6 Well, we just went through the whole—the whole litany of issues.
President Nixon: How'd it all come out?
Ehrlichman: I think there's a pretty general consensus. They understand that you want tougher work requirements. They—
President Nixon: Only way to get it through.
Ehrlichman: Right. They are going to hang with not cashing out Food Stamps or—putting it this way—we'll do all the technical work to assist them in cashing out Food Stamps, but because of Hardin's very strong opposition, Veneman∇ will put his tongue in cheek and say we don't have a position on that.
President Nixon: Well, I have.
Ehrlichman: Well, I know you have, but your Secretary of Agriculture is opposed.
President Nixon: Why?
Ehrlichman: He's testified--he thinks the farmers will oppose it and that'd kill welfare reform.
President Nixon: He really thinks that?
Ehrlichman: That's what he says. And there's disagreement among the departments on whether that's an accurate reflection or not.
President Nixon: I can't believe it is.
Ehrlichman: But I have side arrangement with Veneman on this.
President Nixon: In other words, let it roll through.
Ehrlichman: Right.
President Nixon: Cash it out.
Ehrlichman: Right.
President Nixon: Exactly. Good.
Ehrlichman: The—
President Nixon: Is Veneman doing well?
Ehrlichman: I think he is.
Shultz: I think he's doing very well.
Ehrlichman: The Ways and Means Committee people like him, trust him, and—
President Nixon: [Unclear.]
Ehrlichman: Oh, I think so. I think so. Yeah.
President Nixon: OK.
Ehrlichman: Incidentally, Richardson's going to replace Egeberg. I don't know if he talked to you about that.
President Nixon: Going to replace him. He ought to.
Ehrlichman: Yeah. Uh—
President Nixon: Blunderbuss?7
Ehrlichman: Yeah.
President Nixon: That's what I figured.
Ehrlichman: Let's see, what else did—
President Nixon: [Unclear.]
Ehrlichman: No. He's got a couple of prospects. One of them's got a great Italian name.8 It's—
Shultz: I suppose the other thing we talked about was the public service employment—
Ehrlichman: Yeah.
Shultz: —aspect of welfare reform. That is a department recommendation to have a fairly substantial program of public service employment for welfare people, and to use this plus our special revenue sharing—
President Nixon: That'll be our—that'll be our alternative to their—
Shultz: That's the Labor Department's view of how to protect—
President Nixon: It's an alternative to the—
Shultz: This Nelson effort.9
President Nixon: Huh?
Shultz: This Nelson effort that's going on now.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Shultz: Plus with respect to special revenue sharing, which has a large budget attached to it.10
President Nixon: For manpower training.
Shultz: Yes, for manpower training. But even in the welfare reform we're sticking to the concept of these jobs being as much transition jobs as possible—
President Nixon: Good.
Shultz: —from the welfare job into a regular job.
Ehrlichman: Strong incentives.11 [c00:58:34]
[End of Excerpt]
President Nixon: [c01:15:00] But I think it's the the right decision with regard to this, George, [unclear] reasoning [unclear] either this or you go all the way—wage and price controls. And that's what the likes of Arthur [Burns] and the rest are not willing to face up to. I am. I'm perfectly willing to face up to. If we have a situation where inflation psychology is so serious that you cannot stop it, that the market forces will not work any longer in this country, then we'll have to have wage and price controls. And I mean with teeth. But this idea that you'd set up a wage-price board [and] men of good will will sit around a table and work it out is bunk. It's not going to work. It just doesn't—it hasn't worked for wage-price controls. I'd have a hell of a time working it, too. You know, I realize that and I don't like the rest of the effect on the economy. But, uh, and this is almost fatalistic about it. See what I mean, John?
Ehrlichman: Yeah.
President Nixon: Do you feel that way?
Shultz: Well, I—
President Nixon: [Unclear.] How about you, John? You've heard this argument.
Ehrlichman: Well, I—
President Nixon: I know the reasons to do it—for cosmetic reasons, good God, but this is too early for cosmetics. If we were doing it [unclear]--
Ehrlichman: I don't know.
President Nixon: —months from now, maybe.
Ehrlichman: I don't know what happens next and I think that's the thing that concerns me. I'd like to feel that I could see what the alternatives were at the next step. If they did this, we'd do that. And it looks to me like it's much too fluid at the next step to start--
President Nixon: Well, some things may be happening. Some things may be happening in here. I have a feeling that we--I think this thing will have some effect on the steel [labor contract] negotiations, that even the Davis-Bacon . . . .
Shultz: Secretary Connally∇ is going to testify tomorrow on a wage-price control bill.
President Nixon: Oh, is he?
Shultz: We had a brief conversation in here, I guess—
President Nixon: Yeah?
Shultz: —Thursday—or Friday at the end of the Quadriad meeting with you.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Shultz: And I get from that and your comments that our best posture is to be willing to have those if Congress wants them, but we're not asking for it. We're waiting—
President Nixon: Yeah, not asking for it.
Shultz: If they want to do it, go ahead. But we're not, certainly not, going to push on it.
President Nixon: Basically, they'll kick it to us anyway. Doesn't that sound like a—
Shultz: That's what I think we ought to do.
President Nixon: Yeah, because we have to realize that people in the country don't understand and they'd be for it and so forth and so on. We're not asking for it. Part of this is a power trip. There's not any question. You think he's got enough guidance on it?12
Shultz: Well, I think I'll—perhaps I'll call him and just—
President Nixon: Yeah.
Shultz: —reinforce this.
President Nixon: Would you also—when's he testifying?
Shultz: Tomorrow. I don't know whether it's the morning or the afternoon.
President Nixon: I think it's morning.
Shultz: Well, he's doing an awful lot of testifying up there these days.
Ehrlichman: Sure is.
President Nixon: [Unclear.] Would you also tell him what we've done on that? Tell him in the greatest of privacy, what we're considering on the construction trades, Davis-Bacon.13 [unclear]. Bring him over here and talk to him a little this afternoon.
Shultz: Yes, sir.
President Nixon: Good.
Shultz: I think he deals with these things with great skill.
President Nixon: Yeah. If you would call him in and say on the wage-price board and also on the wage—on Arthur Burns∇'s suggestion . . . now that's a thing they'll try to pin—well, no, this is on the legislation. But if he says, "What about the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board's suggestion that we have a wage--
Ehrlichman: [unclear] stabilization--
Shultz: A wage stabilization board of some kind.
President Nixon: If he's asked about that, I think he should [unclear] give him—give him the same disdain that Arthur gives everything we suggest. [Unclear] I don't want him to get into a direct fight about it. That isn't a good idea. But maybe to just say, "Well, that's a matter that has—we—we have considered and the President hasn't as yet been convinced that this is something that will work. He isn't about to put anything that won't work." How's that? "And that, uh, we're—but he's—his mind is open. He's considering all these things. As his action later today on construction indicates, he will act. As his actions [on] oil and steel indicated, he will act where—but he doesn't believe . . . ." Let's see, if we talk about—if they ask about jawboning, "He doesn't believe in jawboning without teeth. He doesn't believe in any action unless it will work. [On the] wage-price thing, I think you have to consider whether or not that sort of thing will work even with—in—not Arthur's suggestion, but the law—will work in peacetime. And whether it should. And for that reason we have not asked for it. We have doubts, grave doubts about the thing. However, if the Congress proceeds to give that authority, we will not object to receiving the authority as one of the tools that could eventually be used."
Shultz: [Unclear] I'll pass that along to him—the gist of our conversation—and say that you've suggested I pass it along and that if he had some questions or things that he wanted to clarify with you personally, why, you'd be glad to talk with him on the phone or —
President Nixon: Yeah.
Shultz: —otherwise.
President Nixon: Or—yeah, fine, fine. Tell him I know he's prepared for this, but I would just as soon that he stay just as far away from it as he could.
Shultz: Yeah.
President Nixon: And keep just as loose as he could. [c08034]
End of Excerpt
President Nixon: [C01:20:47] One other thing I wanted to be sure that we understood: You know, I want to be sure that [Housing and Urban Development Secretary George] Romney∇, you know, and also Justice, that's [unclear] running over there, [unclear] they follow up on that, you know, that that they not indicate any administration division on what we have said about this housing thing. You know, I was extremely clear on that and it is our position, you know? Now, it may be that they want to go a hell of a lot further than that and I, as I said, I have the Blackjack case open.14 They're out yelling about it. But why is it—why? I know it isn't George and I know it isn't [Attorney General John] Mitchell∇. Is it these people down the line?
Ehrlichman: Sam Jackson made a speech, I noticed, the other day, when I was [unclear]—
President Nixon: And what's he want us to do?
Ehrlichman: —and he's talking about the fact that the factories are all in the suburbs, so we've got to get the workers out in the suburbs.15
President Nixon: So?
Ehrlichman: So—
President Nixon: What's he want us to do about it?
Ehrlichman: Well, uh—
President Nixon: Build public housing projects in Beverly Hills?
Ehrlichman: Well, that's the theory. And—
President Nixon: I'm not going to do it.
Ehrlichman: I'd say that your problem's in Justice now. You know, Leonard will be Commish. 16
President Nixon: I know. Well, understand on the housing thing, there isn't any way to win on it with regard to—
Ehrlichman: And we—
President Nixon: —except this: that I think we—I think we understand we've bitten every bullet there is in the civil rights area. We cannot bite this one.
Ehrlichman: Yeah.
President Nixon: Do you agree?
Ehrlichman: I agree. I am going to try and get this worked around into a reflection of the plight of the small homeowner in these suburbs, because I think we have to personalize this now.
President Nixon: Yeah, but you may—
Ehrlichman: The property values—
President Nixon: What would happen to him?
Ehrlichman: Yeah. In other words—
President Nixon: The small homeowner wouldn't be affected.
Ehrlichman: Oh, he is. He's—
President Nixon: How?
Ehrlichman: He's—no, no, no. If you put one of these projects next to—
President Nixon: Oh. A public housing project
Ehrlichman: Yeah.
President Nixon: I see.
Ehrlichman: And his property values go down. He doesn't have any way to get them back. He doesn't—
President Nixon: Even the small homeowner?
Ehrlichman: Oh, sure. And percentage-wise—
President Nixon: I see.
Ehrlichman: —the value of his home goes off much faster, [in a] much more complex, more damaging fashion than a middle-range house.
President Nixon: Those are the people that I see, and so the small homeowner—
Ehrlichman: When one of these projects moves in the field out behind his platte and you get the people coming in there who park their junk automobiles and throw their mattresses in the backyard and all the kinds of things that you get, you just can't get your money out of one of these marginal plattes, single-bedroom residence plattes, and these are the guys who are hurt by this. And the location decisions for these projects—these public housing units—has to be very carefully done.
President Nixon: Well, as I understand, they're working it out. Under the law there is no requirement that the public housing project be put anyplace—
Ehrlichman: Well—
President Nixon: —except—
Ehrlichman: Yeah, that's right. And what—
President Nixon: —except—
Ehrlichman: —really is the thing we're saying by "forced integration" is that the federal government will not impel a location which is selected by a non-profit corporation or a public housing authority--
President Nixon: Mm-hmm.
Ehrlichman: We're not going to use the coercive elements--
President Nixon: That's right.
Ehrlichman: --of HUD money to compel that location where it is resisted by the town provided that it is not solely for—
President Nixon: Race.
Ehrlichman: —reasons of race. 17 [01:24:23c]
President Nixon: Right. Provided, in other words, it's because of economic or other reasons—
Ehrlichman: That's it.
President Nixon: —rather than race.
Ehrlichman: That's it. And that—
President Nixon: Well, isn't that always the case, for Christ's sake? Well, how could it be for reasons of race?
Ehrlichman: It isn't.
President Nixon: Is Blackjack related to--
Ehrlichman: Up in our part of the country, the housing projects that are being put out in the county are basically not black. They're low-class white and Indians.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Ehrlichman: And they just don't know how to flush the toilets and they throw their garbage in the backyard, and the place is just, you know—
President Nixon: Ruined.
Ehrlichman: Lousy neighbors. And that runs property values down.
President Nixon: Yeah.
Ehrlichman: There's a way to do this, and it is to say that Prince George's County or Fairfax County or one of these places has to have low- to moderate-income housing in it, and it's up to them to find a good place for it.
President Nixon: Yeah, yeah.
Ehrlichman: It's got to be on public transportation. It's got to have sewer and water.
President Nixon: That's what Romney's plan is, as I understand it.
Ehrlichman: That's what his plan is. And what we say is, this is now a question for local decision. You put it in the best place in your county you can. And you can't discriminate against this.
President Nixon: How can the federal power be used otherwise? How could it be used if we wanted to?
Ehrlichman: We don't have any federal power to compel—
President Nixon: Well, when you say there should not be coercion [unclear] coercion. What do you—what—how do you coerce, if you wanted to? How are we coercing?
Ehrlichman: We're coercing by saying in Blackjack, Missouri, where, for instance, we might say, "Look, a Baptist church has decided they want it here, and you've zoned it out of existence, now you don't get any more sewer and water money for your whole town."
President Nixon: Oh, I see. Never, never [unclear].
Ehrlichman: Well, that's the game they're playing.
President Nixon: Now that's not going to be done. No. That's the problem. That's the problem. Now, they do it—see, they do it because they're black, no. But goddamn it [unclear]—
Shultz: The President said this—I'm thinking of this point about the jobs that are out on the outer ring—that people with income can buy a house on the market.18
President Nixon: That's true.
Shultz: And the government will see to it that fair housing laws are enforced—
President Nixon: Sure.
Shultz: —that people are not discriminated against and that [unclear] activity--
Ehrlichman: The President has said that in the March 24 statement.19 [01:26:40c]

riverni writes "Eve News 24 is running a couple of articles uncovering the lucrative 'black-market' existing in EVE Online, a sci-fi themed single-server MMORPG. The overall scale of the operation is breathtaking. While there exist legal ways to exchange real world currency for in-game currency, the black market, primarily driven by botters (users who utilize automated macros to perform rewardable tasks in game), remains strong. One article reports on how Iskbank.com made approximately $290,000 in sales during a 10.5-month period.

Don't have a single spontaneous bone in your body? Don't worry -- you can cultivate spontaneity by following the advice on how to become more spontaneous. Which, come to think of it, doesn't sound all that spontaneous at all. In fact, one might argue it's completely premeditated.
Oh, well, if the only way you can break free of your routines is by making a to-do list on how not to use to-do lists, who are we to argue?
Here are just a few ways you can pretend you're acting on a whim: Cancel all plans, because nothing says free-spirited like responsibly tidying up your calendar to make sure you've got no previous commitments befor letting loose.
Break out of your comfort zone: According to author Ami Angelowicz that means no checking email or going to the gym. Boy, she wasn't kidding when she said she needs to have more fun.
Treat and scare yourself: First, do something really indulgent, like eat some frozen yogurt, says Angelowicz. Then scare the bejeezus out of yourself, by going bungee jumping or skydiving or getting a tattoo. Whatever you do, do not think about this lady who got a nasty gash during a ziplining accident and then ended up with a flesh-eating bacteria that resulted in her leg being amputated. Or, maybe you do want to think about her, because that would just raise the fear factor level even more.
Also, no matter what, do not feel guilty about wherever your whims lead you.
Once you've got that all mastered, there's just one thing left to do so you can be freewheeling and fancy-free: Institute a mandatory and planned spontaneous weekend, preferably once a month.
And to think that until this moment, I never thought of myself as spontaneous. But now I realize I am. My friend invited me to dinner last night -- off-the-cuff, no prior discussions! -- and I'm going, tonight! How crazy and off the wall is that?

I think I am on the track of what 'New Economics' is, and one could roughly sum up two days of presentations in two diagrams:
vs. Read more
When I started this blog, almost exactly one year ago today, my thought was to provide commentary on the financial events of the day, using the Financial Times as my primary source of information about those events. I felt, as Mr Skinner writes in his letter today, that the public does not know much about banking. He recommends starting from the text "Where Does Money Come From?", which seems to me fine advice. But the hard thing, as always, is applying such textbook knowledge to the real world events of the day; that's what I was determined to do in the blog. Read more
The last few days have brought a remarkable, but as of yet unremarked, convergence of attention to the matter of making markets.
We hear about the difficulty of implementing the so-called Volcker Rule, which requires drawing a bright line of some kind between proprietary trading (not allowed) and market making (allowed).
We hear about banks getting out of the market making business, leading to unusually large spreads in corporate bond markets, large enough possibly to tempt others into the business. Read more
Our interviews in the halls of the Mount Washington Hotel, covered the range of opinion about the severity of conflicts of interest in economics: we are alright; economics is no more corrupted than other sciences; corruption is substantial; it is rotten to the core. Scholars who have working relationships, who read the same journals and newspapers, debate in seminars, chat in cocktail parties and testify to Congressional hearings, cannot agree on the status of their science. One explanation is that economists have never thought hard about conflicts of interest and the role that patrons play in knowledge production. There have been plenty of invitations to do so, but all have been rejected. Even economists writing on the economics of science, framing knowledge as an output of a production function, elide the question: if scientists are inputs, who is designing the product? Read more
In the current post-crisis climate, some heterodox thinkers who were long neglected are being looked at again to inform new economic thinking. One of these thinkers is Hyman Minsky, who even in past times of relative stability thought that there were some fundamental problems with contemporary economics. Read more
Much of today's economics is based on abstract modeling of complex systems – but a lot of the theories behind the models are overly simplistic, and do not have predictive capabilities. The economics field can do much, much more, according to J. Doyne Farmer, professor at the Santa Fe Institute. Read more

In part 4 of INET's interview with David Hale, he says that although we are all generally convinced that we are right (even when we are wrong,) the crisis has lead to new thinking and new strategies
My goal is to understand Buddhist thinking in rational choice terms, and apply that to some important contemporary economic problems. In both Buddhism and economics the central question is human happiness or the relief of human suffering. But the answers in Buddhism and economics are opposite. In Buddhism, desires are like addictions. Read more

Home > Health & Wellness > Health Library > Nasal Potential Difference Test for Cystic Fibrosis
The nasal potential difference test (nasal PD test) measures how well
salts (sodium and chloride) flow across the mucous membranes in the nose. This
type of test can be helpful when the results of a sweat test or a genetic test
are not clear.
In this test, electrodes are placed inside the nose and liquids are
run through the nose. There is also a needle placed in the forearm that
connects to a machine. Because this test can be uncomfortable, your child may
need medicine to help him or her relax before having the test.
This test is not used very often because it can be
difficult to do and because it is not available in many places.

Does DDR' Kill Cancer Cells?
Patti Champine MSC shares her research
Does DDR kill cancer cells? Patti Champine, MSC, presented her research at the dōTERRA Elevate
Convention 2013. Patti is currently a researcher at Utah State University. She has a Degree in
Biology from the University of Montana and a Degree of Medicinal Chemistry from the University
of Utah.
Here are the slides from her presentation that answers
the question "Does DDR kill cancer cells?".
YES!! Scientifically proven!
Patti tested DDR Prime Essential Oil Blend on 3 types of cancer: Breast Cancer cells, Brims Breast
Cancer Cells (less susceptible to treatment), and Stomach Cancer.
DDR Prime killed cancer cells at 1.0% dilution or higher even if the oil is only in the area, not directly applied.
The key is consistency, it takes time to penetrate because of the density of cancers cells. DDR Prime capsules
are unique because of the delivery system bypasses the liver and other systems.

Hey all you 1911 guy's I need help.
I'm not new to firearms, been shooting my entire life but I'm interested in buying a 1911 (maybe) so I need to know why the barrel doesn't "tip up" when the slide is racked back like most newer pistols? I know the barrel being tipped up allows for the bullet to slide in at a less binding angle so why don't 1911's do the same? Does this cause a lot of 1911's to jam up or do they have another means of preventing a jam?
I did a search before I started this thread and couldn't find the answers I was looking for.

In that sense ,It's not out of the realm of possibility .
Missing people are pressumed dead quite often , I.e. Jimmy Hoffa , without a body or even valid evidence a crime was committed , so its not impossible .
There would be conspiracy theories and about him being alive so I don't buy that
would just except it , at least not in Gotham .
However, this falls into the category of suspend disbelief , its only a movie. And to be fair he was declared dead in BB without a body. Again, its one of those things in the film that could have been handled a bit better at the end imo, but it doesn't damage the film for me.
Possibly, though Bruce was out of the public eye for almost a decade and other Gothamites nearly as rich and famous as he was undoubtedly disappeared too. The people of Gotham probably have more on their plate than speculating about what happened to an eccentric, semi-retired billionaire anyway.

Hiya. I'm just about to start 'Boostering' and had a wee question. I often use season packets on my meats - like Swartz, Colmans and Season + Shakes, etc. Are these allowed on boostering? If so, do i find their check value by diving by 25 - the same as PEP or is it different? Any help would be appreciated

I've copied this onto another Forum for you. 'Let's Get to Know Each Other'. It's a bit more popular.
Posted 04 February 2012 - 11:56 PM
I would imagine that they're free as most seasoning is. Even if you did divide them by 25 the check value would be negligible as any seasoning will be so lightweight. I think, if you are going to be absolutely vigilant and accurate maybe count 1 check as they may contain sugar.I think following either plan would be the same in this instance. I know Elspeth copied this onto the main forum, but in case anyone else looks I've answered here too!These are based on my thoughts and not knowledge!!Val xx

VATICAN CITY Pope Francis met and prayed with six European victims of pedophile priests for the first time Monday, in what is being cast as a gesture designed to help change the mentality toward sexual abuse scandals that have severely tarnished the church's image.
The encounter with victims from Britain, Ireland and Germany was low key. The victims met the pope briefly Sunday night, according to Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi, and then joined him for a private Mass on Monday morning. After that, he met with each in his private apartment for about 30 minutes of informal discussions about their individual experiences.
The Vatican did not release the names of the victims, and none attended Lombardi's briefing to the media. However, the Vatican quoted Francis as expressing sorrow for the sins and grave crimes of the clerical abuse against them.
I beg your forgiveness, too, for the sins of omission on the part of church leaders who did not respond adequately to reports of sex abuse, the pope said.
The meetings are significant because it is the first time Francis at least officially has met with the victims of clerical sex abuse. It is also the first time such victims have met with a pontiff on the Vatican grounds.
It comes on the heels of a United Nations condemnation in May of the Vatican for its policies on sexual abusefollowed by a Vatican declaration of zero tolerance for clergy guilty of inappropriate behavior toward children while the pope was in the Middle East that month.
Before that, the Vatican crafted protocols to hold bishops and other church authorities accountable if they fail to report suspected abuse or protect children from pedophile priests.
The rules and laws are already in place, said Andrea Tornielli, coordinator of the publication Vatican Insider. But the change of mentality the church needs takes more time. That is why a gesture like this (the meetings) is so important because it will contribute to changing that mentality.
In the nearly 16 months since becoming pope, Francis has become one of the most recognized figures in the world in part because of remarks on controversial topics such as homosexual Catholics and the role of capitalism in the world, and he has taken on the Vatican's powerful bureaucracy in an attempt to root out corruption.
But he has also earned criticism for doing too little to confront the problem of sexual abuse. The pope did create a special Child Protection Commission of cardinals, and in April he asked for forgiveness for the perpetrators of sexual abuse. But critics have said it is far too little given the enormity of the problem.
With sexual violence and cover-ups, Catholic officials are obsessively fixed on policies and protocols, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said in a recent statement. But they absolutely ignore the one step that matters: action.
Norbert Denef, a German church abuse reform advocate, called Monday's meetings nothing more than a public relations effort.
For the faithful in St. Peter's Square, Monday's events were nonetheless significant.
I would have liked to see the pope meet with an American just because the abuse scandals were so pronounced in the U.S., but I still think it's important, said Robin Doll, 44, a small business owner from Orlando on vacation in Rome. When the pope focuses on this I think it sends a signal to the whole church that things are going to change.
Though this is the first meeting between sexual abuse victims and the pontiff at the Vatican, Francis' predecessor Benedict XVI met with victims several times while traveling, starting in 2008.
Angelo Fusaro, a 51-year-old civil servant, said he was moved by Francis' concern for the victims.
Pope Francis is a man of action and I am touched by the fact that he took steps to console and understand these victims, Fusaro said. I hope it will lead to strong action. That is the best way to respond to the suffering of the victims.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Knoxville firefighters responded to a late night fire at an abandoned East Knoxville home on Wednesday.
According to KFD reports, neighbors spotted flames shooting through the front window and called 911 around 11:00 p.m. No one was injured as emergency crews battled to contain the blaze.
Arson investigators said there was no power connected to home, 2413 Wilson Ave., and the fire appears to have been deliberate. They still haven't determined why it was set though.

An AHA-backed bill to reform RAC and other audit programs
Responding to hospital concerns about recovery audit contractors (RAC) and other Medicare auditors, Reps. Sam Graves, R-MO, and Adam Schiff, D-CA, Tuesday introduced the AHA-backed "Medicare Audit Improvement Act," H.R. 1250. The bill, previously introduced last October, would restructure the way RACs can review providers.The legislation would establish annual limits on documentation requests from RACs, impose financial penalties on RACs if they fall out of compliance with program requirements, make RAC performance evaluations publicly available and allow denied inpatient claims to be billed as outpatient claims if necessary, among other measures. For example, the bill would limit the number of "additional document requests" to 2% of hospitals claims, with a maximum of 500 per 45 days."Doctors and nurses should be focused on caring for patients, not trying to comply with the ever-increasing requests for documents," Graves said in a statement.AHA Executive Vice President Rick Pollack said the bill "provides much needed guidance for auditors while keeping them out of making medical decisions that should be between patients and their physicians." He said it also would "improve recovery auditor transparency and allow denied inpatient claims to be billed as outpatient claims when appropriate." (For more on RACs, see the stories on page 1.)

Report a Problem With A Review
of Birmingham Bridge Tavern - Pittsburgh , PA
Complete the form below to tell us about the problematic review for Birmingham Bridge Tavern, which says:
"where to start???
well, although Birmingham Bridge is within the name, the Tavern is a very large block or two from the actual bridge. It's also worth noting its a block off the main drag on Sarah Street, as opposed to Carson.
All the geographic clarifications aside, this is a really neat place worth checking out.
Birmingham Bridge Tavern enters the ranks for beer lovers with a very different lineup of around 14 taps and 70 bottles. They have the obligatory bud and coors for everyone else.
They had a few of the Bell's/Kalamazoo beers that were tasty and some other interesting tap handles worth giving a second look and consideration towards.
This is a three-story bar, with two floors with bars and the third for private functions. Neat about this place is the third floor is available for events without an additional event rental charge. In this day and age that's a big deal, I think.
So, usually we find it easy to poke holes and drop the rating on the service side of things. The dear bartender gently moved the evening, drinks and food along. The chef/cook is a Culinary Institute grad formerly employed with the Colony House. A really friendly guy who even poured me a sample of a summer brew on tap I hadn't tried before.
So who are you going to find here? Local South Siders, blue collar folks at the end of their day and white collar folks out for dinner and drinks. A mixed crowd at ease with each other.
This is a friendly low key place off the main fast paced Carson Street. The people who own/work at this place are really classy and down to earth. Conversation friendly bunch.
I'll be back."

Christmastime in Chicago is truly a magical time.
Take, for example, the splendiferous tree in Daley Plaza. This is the 100th year Chicago has had an official city Christmas tree. And like thevery first official city tree, it was donated. Nearly 29,000 lights and 300 decorations (including a star on top) adorn the tree, said City of Chicago spokeswoman Mary May.
Santa has set up shop in his house in Daley Plaza — also the site of the annual Christkindlmarket Chicago; skaters are gliding around the rink at Millennium Park; and carolers are caroling at Cloud Gate.
There are a plethora of activities to make your season merry and bright, from sipping mulled cider at the Christkindlmarket to marveling at the window displays at Macy's.
"People are out on the streets enjoying the holiday season and being together. There's just so much to do here. It's just a magical time of year," May said. "There are so many classic traditional things we do here in the city to celebrate the holidays, it's truly magical for Chicago."
And that's just downtown. There are events all over the city and suburbs that celebrate the season.

Prime Cuts: Metallica's James Hetfield and Kirk Hammett Critique Key Songs in the Band's Harsh, Noble History
August 05, 2014 at 10:39am
The "ripped riff" that made up 'Sanitarium' is indeed, from Bleak House; the song is "Rainbow Warrior".
(Info from Ultimate-Guitar.com - "Metallica Stole Song?" http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/metallica_stole_song.html)
Excellent article and why Guitar World is my "Bible" when it comes to all things guitar.
Cheers! \m/ \m/

Moral of the story...Kirk likes his wah pedal, a LOT!

August 13, 2013 at 1:07pm
cool read, after getting into all the old thrash classics i guess i forgot that these dudes were at one time like me. that rip on slayer was a dumb one though, at least they never alienated theire fan base!
February 17, 2014 at 1:55am
Experimenting and figuring out new stuff is good. Slayer, while great, mostly does the same thing every album. The comment from James rings fairly true even if you don't like it.
BTW Metallica hasn't alienated their fan base, just the few people who think a band should never change.
November 16, 2014 at 10:58pm
You said Slayer do the same thing every album and in the very next paragraph said 'Metallica hasn't alienated their fan base, just the few people who think a band should never change' is that in defense of the Metallica fans or Metallica? Either way, that implication is a little contradictory is it not?
August 12, 2013 at 12:21pm
I have had a theory for two decades on where they got the Sanitarium riff. I posted it once in a message board of the "original band," who I love even more than Metallica. It's from a song buried within a longer piece of music by a VERY well known band consistently featured in Guitar World still. It's from 1975. The riff isn't identical but the first part is the shape that Hetfield uses on Fade to Black, Sanitarium, and One, and the guitarist even slides that shape up the neck but with one, minor difference than what Hetfield did on Sanitarium. The liner notes to Master of Puppets even offer a HUGE clue on where this came.

this is really cool being able to read about how kirk wrote his solos and stuff, great article
