MP Andreichanka privatises a flat worth $400,000
11:43, — Society
16213 views
Member of the "parliament" Uladzimir Andreichanka owns a three-room flat in Drazdy.
The speaker of the "house of Representatives", Uladzimir Andreichanka, privatised a flat worth $400,000, Nasha Niva reports.
In addition to a plot of land in Vesninka, he owns a three-room flat in Drazdy. The purchase could have been explained by his stable high salary – more than $2,000 for heading the decorative "parliament", but documents show the flat wasn't purchased, but privatised.
Andreichanka has been heading the "house of representatives" for the last six years. Earlier, he had been the head of the Vitebsk region for 15 year.

Took the day off and advantage of a bright moon for an early start up into one of the alpine cirques in West Glacier Park. My friend, Justin Woods, lives in Whitefish so after work I threw my gear in the truck and drove up the west shore of Flathead lake to his couch. After catching up and racking our gear, we got a short 3 hrs of sleep before getting up and drinking coffee during the short drive to the trail head.It got light just as we were getting close to lower Snyder lake. With the inversion on Lake McDonald and blue skies above, it was promising to be a nice day. Startling how quite it was and much colder at the upper lake. We skied to the center and jaw dropped at the ice lacing the walls. "Lookin good, eh? Yea dude, looks good."Then...... The sun hit the mountain behind us and snow started to roll. We hymned and hawed for a long time while slowly cutting switchbacks up the slope toward the base of the wall. It's prime avalanche terrain and we were trying to be smart but wind slabs and propagating cracks had us concerned. About half way up, right as it starts to get steeper, we dug a pit and surprisingly, it was fairly well bonded and felt pretty safe so we continued. After taking the skis off and kicking steps the last 200', we stomped out a ledge and tied in.Other than Justin taking a chunk of ice to the face when a good sized "dinner plate" came off while placing his tool, cutting the bridge of his nose and giving him a pretty good bell ringer, we had a really fun day on the North face of Edwards. I yelled down to him as he was cleaning a pitch, "how ya doin dude?". "Kinda concussed man" followed by a laugh that let me know he was still lovin it. Funny how many of us (that like to climb ice) have that scar across the bridge of the nose. When he arrived at the belay, it was agreed that we were lucky indeed. That place is always good training.... for something;-)An adventurous ski out with a long section of our skin track (from earlier that morning) being covered by a good sized swath of avalanche debris was a good reminder of where we were. The GNP is a super special place and demands respect. Back to work Read More »

Last week, I had the opportunity to drive out of the deep snow in Montana and road trip my way down to Big Sur, on the California coast. The coast line is super dramatic and you can't help but to recognize how special and unique that place is. Large rocks just off shore getting pounded by waves, turquoise water filled with kelp forests and mountains rising right out of the ocean covered in Spring green grass that's practically fluorescent. Just driving down the 1 and winding your way down that coast line is an experience.The plan was to meet Dave Aldrich and his crew and try to film for his new free flight film "Dreaming Awake" while flying from the launch at Plaskett creek, south of Big Sur. He invited Dustin and Zippy as well and the intention was to get a Gyro mounted Cineflex camera, operated by Tom Miller of Blue Sky Aerials (http://www.aerialimage.com/index.html)flown up on a helicopter piloted by Chris Gularte of Specialized Helicopters - (http://specializedheli.com/Default.aspx) to film some flying. We also had a large variety of cameras for the gliders including some really cool, new camera gear from GoPro (3D) and one of the only 360 cams in existence. This thing is crazy, it's the size of a coconut and had HD lenses pointed in every direction. The idea is that with all lenses capturing images simultaneously, the editor can pan seamlessly in any direction he/she wants to give the viewer any perspective they want. It's as if the camera was smoothly able to turn in any direction to film it all. Pretty cool.I wasn't sure I would be able to pull it off. The drive is pretty long from Missoula and the forecast was iffy. It was a huge gamble but it was agreed that the weather is always iffy at Big Sur and it' lucky to get a good flight there no matter what so if we were going to try to film there, we should go for it. Never know until you go, yea? Zippy and Dave were going. I called Dustin and he was in so I threw the glider on and made a pot of coffee.The first day, Dave and our friend, Dusty Rhodes drove up the coast to just North of Monterrey to sort out the chopper while Dave's brother, Brad, Dustin, Zipp and I drove up to the lower launch. We set up and mounted cameras but it was classic Big Sur. Blue above with a thick fog/cloud bank from the start of land, far out to sea. We waited for the LZ to open and eventually, small holes started to form. We piled off one after the other during one of the small holes and had a nice flight and collected some good "on board" images.Later, we headed up to the upper and main launch as the coast burned clear of any fog or clouds. We were set up and ready for the 4pm arrival of Dave in the helicopter but about 10 mins before they showed up, the clouds started to form quickly. In a matter of 15 mins, the land at the base of the mountain was completely covered and the clouds were spilling up into the draws, seeping up hill. We could no longer see the land and it was disheartening thinking we were quickly getting hosed. Not an issue when there is a chopper in radio contact, especially one with a hang glider pilot in it. Dave had the heli fly out to the edge of the clouds and they were able to tell us that the clouds were 500' off the ground and it was about a 45 degree glide from the far side of the clouds to the LZ. We got the green light and again, piled off together. I'm not sure it could have been any better or more lucky. A beautiful orographic feature in such a dramatic place with such high quality film gear to capture it. Zippy, Dustin and I were all laughing as we flew together out to the edge of the clouds, looping and spinning our way to land after passing from blue sky to thick overcast. The lighting was something that sticks out in my memory.The Next day, the weather was blue most of the day. We had a decent tail wind when we got to launch but the heat of the day won with nice cycles pouring into the hill. I had a nice flight with a 3D camera mounted on my wing. I flew with Zippy who had the dangle mount hanging under him, filming straight up. A few close passes gave us the result we were after. We took turns looping over the coast line and landed in time to see Dustin spin into a low level loop that made me want to go flying. Dave got to come up the hill to get some filming done himself and the helicopter was scheduled to show up at 5pm with hopes of getting the sun setting. We were going to try to go one at a time to record as much footage as possible with the stellar weather. For this flight, Zippy was loaded to the hilt with the 3D cam and off of a long nose boom, the 360 cam. His would be the first flight in a hang glider with the new camera. It looked like a disco ball hanging out in front of his glider with the battery and processor inside his sail. The latter is a box about the size of a large shoe box and weighed enough to choke a donkey. Dustin and I looked at each other wondering how the F*&% Zippy was going to get that glider off the hill. He was keen though and somehow, I wasn't that worried.We all had really fun flights and after seeing some of the raw footage I was stoked to have made the drive, to say the least. Always a good time flying with those boys and the beauty of that place had very real impact on me. Feeling pretty lucky indeed. From what I've seen, Dave's film is really capturing the essence of our sport and will give the person that doesn't fly hang gliders a pretty accurate idea of what its like. Hopefully, it might get some people to step up to their dreams and give it a go. I'm stoked to be part of it and thankful for the opportunity to share what we love to do. He'll be compiling a new trailer soon and the movie itself should be released sometime in 2012. Check it out. Read More »

Why Most People Do Not Have to Pay Their Medical Bills
Submitted by TommyPaine on Fri, 11/01/2013 - 20:09If you want to understand why medical care expenses are so expensive today and want to be able to explain it to others, read this post.
If you know someone faced with huge medical bills they cannot afford, read this post.
I am in favor of paying bills. I am in favor of paying medical bills - REASONABLE medical bills. Most medical bills today are NOT reasonable. The prices charged are far too high (as compared with a free market system), and they are (most of them) what are known as "adhesion contracts." I'll explain what that is, but first some history.
The reason medical care costs today are so expensive is because the government has become more and more involved in the industry, and this has raised the cost for everyone.
Before WWII and for all of American history before that, people could pay their own medical bills with no problem. There was no "crisis." There will always be poor people in society, especially when "poor" is defined as the bottom X% of the population. By that definition, there will always be poor people, and they can and should turn to charity for help.
Back then, there was no such thing as health insurance. People could pay their doctor bills. Health insurance came about as a way for people NOT to pay their doctor bills but to recover LOST WAGES during times they were sick. Lost time from work was a bigger financial problem than the bills themselves. Originally, "health insurance" was more like what today would be called disability insurance.
During WWII, the federal government instituted price and wage controls. This meant that employers could not increase salaries. So, employers started offering "fringe benefits" as a way to attract the best people. This is when employers started paying for health insurance for employees.
In the 1950's, the tax code was changed so that employers could deduct health care insurance paid on behalf of employees. Tax deductions are good, but it should have been at the individual level. Since so many employers were now paying these costs (because of the previous government meddling), this was very popular.
In 1965, Medicare was passed, making the federal government a huge "payor" of health care costs. In 1973, Congress passed the HMO Act, requiring larger employers to provide HMO's for employees.
Since then, there have been numerous other ways the federal government has pushed its way in (unconstitutionally) to the health care industry.
Today, even before Odumbacare, the federal government is by far the largest payor of health care expenses, and HMO's are next largest. Together, they dominate the terms of what they will pay for health care expenses.
Since the individual usually does not pay for their medical expenses, doctors make more money doing multiple tests. They get paid more for that, too. But the government and HMO's often refuse to pay the full price. So, doctors get paid less than they expected on the procedures they do, and so they look to everybody else to make up the slack.
The slack is paid for by individuals with their own health insurance and those who pay cash. Since doctors are so used to doing every test and procedure they can think of (because they benefit from that by charging more to the government and HMO's), they do this with individuals, too. It is estimated that people paying cash pay 3 times the amount that the federal government does for the same things.
This is why health care costs are so high.
But, if you get a doctor or hospital bill, you usually do NOT have to pay it.
That's because almost all such bills are adhesion contracts. An adhesion contract is a "take it or leave it" contract. One side dictates the terms, and the other side must take it or leave it. But the terms are not known up front. So, the person taking it has no idea what they are taking.
In fact, most such bills are not contracts at all. A contract requires a "meeting of the minds." If a doctor does not tell a patient (a) what will be done or (b) how much it will cost, then there is no meeting of the minds. Further, even if it is a contract, it is an adhesion contract.
Adhesion contracts are VOIDABLE by the party who did not create the contract. So, a person with a huge medical bill can REFUSE to pay it by declaring it VOID.
Having said that, I do not recommend actually voiding it. Better is to notify the doctor or hospital that you MIGHT declare it void and instead work out a reasonable fee that you will pay in a reasonable amount of time.
Today, there are more and more clinics actually publishing their rates. A person could use those prices as a good faith method of determining a fair price to pay (and doing business with such doctors are NOT adhesion contracts because the amounts are known up front, unlike 99% of the industry). One doctor running such a clinic stated that he originally thought his costs would be 1/2 of what other doctors were charging. He really had no idea because he never had control over costs. What he found was that his costs are actually 1/6 to 1/8 of the costs of doctors who get paid by traditional means. So, the health care industry is costing 6-8 times what would be the case in a free market.
So, the government has created this mess with more and more intrusion into the health care industry over several decades. The solution, of course, is to REPEAL such laws (including the prohibition of selling insurance across state lines). Let the FREE MARKET return to the health care industry and the problems will be solved.
In the meantime, any large medical bills can be NEGOTIATED down to a reasonable amount and, if necessary, declared VOID.

Forced at Gunpoint to Support The Beast
Thanks for the comments on adhesion contracts. I will look into them in more detail, since they are not usually discussed in the normal day. We must have the power to nullify this government imposed over-drugging of society because it has destroyed the standard of living, the general health, and the freedom to be healthy of most Americans.
Based on the information that I've found from local hospitals, only about 30% of the inmates in hospitals are there for bone cracking type emergencies (such as bullet wounds, falling off buildings, or getting run over by cars).
I've concluded that most people go to doctors for metabolic type conditions, the non-emergency type that can be prevented with a proper living style (diet, exercise, sleep). Even when patients need treatment for metabolic problems, there are usually solutions that do not require overpriced drugs, dangerous surgery, or inefficient health administration.
In short, we are forced - at gunpoint - to use a big chunk of our productivity to support an industry that imposes pain, sickness, and premature death on everyone.
I will look into the adhesion concept with interest and am especially interested in what the judges are ruling on that issue.

Doctors/hospitals never expect 100% of their price
Ever since medicare and medicaid got involved in healthcare the costs have sky rocketed. One of the reasons is because the government have always disputed and wanted a discount on the services they are paying for. As such over the years the costs have just been inflated to compensate for that discount. Hospitals usually record revenue each month, not based on collections or by the amount they charge the patients. They record Gross Revenue (the sticker price they have set) and then they subtract the Contractual Allowance (the discount) to come up with their Net Revenue. The contractual allowance (or discount) percentage changes based on the revenue source, which could be governmental (medicare or medicaid), managed care (HMO or PPO), or other sources (private pay or insurance). These discounts can range anywhere from 30-55%, and are determined days or weeks after the procedure/visit. Because of these discounts all prices are heavily inflated, because the hospital can never expect what they will collect. A ridiculous system.

and if you don't want to use conventional . . .
medical 'services'?
You have to pay a fine under obamacare--
we don't have insurance, because we don't use conventional medical services--
and because it is exorbitant.
Most people who declare bankruptcy for medical expenses actually are insured--
I know several people who are burdened with medical debt who have great insurance plans--
in other words, it's a huge scam--
doctors blame the government--
so they can't be blamed (doctors)--
but it has become an expectation for medical doctors to live 'high'--
to have huge homes, nice cars, send their children to the best schools and travel the world--
I remember when doctors lived in decent, but modest, homes and struggled to make ends meet--
before insurance--
and, yes, even people with modest incomes could pay their doctor bills back then--
and the doctors were family friends--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--

Most doctors and hospitals in the past few decades
have been practicing usury, plain and simple.
Also, a professional nurse told me that hospital bills are inflated because the hospital actually expects you to negotiate the price, not just accept the bill as is. Good to know about voiding adhesion contracts...
My grandfather was a doctor during the depression. He regularly treated people without being paid and without expecting to be paid. If a person could pay, they would, the fees were not exorbitant and people had honor, so would pay according to their true ability to pay. My grandfather did not pursue non-payers. He wrote it off and was well-respected in the community. Farmers would often pay him with a bag of potatoes or similar. Back then, medicine was considered a NOBLE profession and a calling, not a for-profiteering business model. I would not call it noble now. Exploitative is a better descriptor now.

$19,320. Two 1 liter bags of saline per week, total 8 a month.
$19,320 per month. This is a bill I received last month for my mother's twice a week saline infusion treatment. Some blood tests are included (nothing unusual, just to see the treatments are working).
My mother's insurance is terrific. In general, we have had minor out of pocket bills to pay for her care.
Our part to pay is $550 a month. This will be difficult to manage, but we will do it. But isn't this excessive (never mind the $19.3K) for 8 1 liter bags of salt water a month?

Why are medical cost so high?
The current "medical/sickcare" business model is based on the precept that people are worth more sick than they are well. It has very virtually nothing to do with health, and everything to do with locking people, providers ,and stakeholders into a controlled system for life.
1. FDA oversees the systematic poisoning of people necessitating the need of insurance & therapies
2. AMA owns the Codes, (diagnostic & therapy), by which medical providers bill for their services, and are reimbursed for their service by the insurance companies.
3. Insurance companies decide what codes they will accept, and how much they will reimburse the medical providers.
4. Medical providers, choose which codes will generate revenues, and then test and treat patients accordingly.
5. Patients are treated according to which codes will generate revenues for the medical providers.
6. If a potential lawsuit is possible then, tests are done to support the suit, and therapies are chosen as to not jeopardize the suit.
1. Patients pay insurance premiums, and medical provider co-payments.
2. Medical providers collect co-payments, and insurance reimbursements for specific codes billed.
3. Insurance companies collect insurance premiums, and reimburse medical providers according to codes billed. (They decide what percentage of the allowed amount they will pay, and have up to 5 years to demand repayment of reimbursements from medical providers should they deem an unjustified reimbursement).
4. AMA leases the codes (diagnostic and therapy) to medical providers, and insurance companies for about $10 million each year.
5. FDA oversees, and approves all food, drugs, and therapies allowed to participate in the market place.

good article. I have not had health insurance until I turned 65 last year and felt forced to buy medicare mainly because obamacare was coming and everyone would be forced to purchase health insurance.
I remember when it was no problem to go to a doctor, or dentist, and be able to afford the bill. Actually, most doctors have a different, lower price for cash patients than insurance patients. That is what I found until I moved to Asheville, NC, where there are actually doctors who refuse cash patients (go figure that one).
Also, if you have no insurance one tends to not go to doctors as much; only emergencies, which in my case might be a broken bone. And, I am healthier than most people my age because of that...no medications, I use nutritional supplements, organic food, and exercise.
I can never understand who people are talking about when they say there are people getting free medical care because they do not have insurance. No one ever offered me free healthcare; you always have to pay, even if you set up a payment plan. I don't know anyone who has ever not had to pay for their health care other than, I assume, illegal immigrants. I have a friend in San Diego who worked in a hospital and she got disgusted by the illegals coming into the hospital with fake social security numbers and addresses and thus getting "free" healthcare because there was no way to bill them. Let the big businesses who hire them pay the bill; why should you or I?

Why are the medical bills so high?
Thanks for doing a topic on out of control prices of hospital procedures and how they got that way. The reason why insurance is so high is because the prices charged by doctors and hospitals are so high.
In the thousands of hours the news does on Obamacare insurance, not one minute is spent on the price tag of the lab tests, medication, hospital charges, and doctor bills.

The part you left out.
KNOWING that many claim lines are denied or net pay per claim line is reduced, the medical associations stack their "protocols" or normal procedures, tests and services that should be performed for a given condition or indication.
For example, if you show "flu symptoms", rather than just giving you and aspirin, vit c and d and patting you on the head and sending you home for a $20 copay + $20 for the visit paid by insurance, the stacked protocol is to:
-perform a physical
-draw blood
-perform labs
-standard ofc visit charge
-possible x-ray if age > 50
It's the "accepted" association's way to stack the bill to the insurance company. In response, the company negotiates tighter contracts with providers whose associations then reassess the protocol and stack higher, ending up in a feedback loop spiral.
It's to the point where, for example, were a parent to disagree with a protocol a doctor is performing on the child, the doctor could threaten calling child protection to ensure that a physician or facility can complete the protocol and bill all the protocol services, labs etc on the claim.

Lynn Hummel: Cows don't have names anymore
When I was a kid, dairy cows had names. Some of the most popular names were: Bessie, Maggie, Heifer, Queenie, Bluebell, Flo, Buttercup, Daisy, Half Pint, Elsie, Babe, Missie, Sweetie Pie and Yvonne. Actually, Yvonne was the name of a famous cow that went missing in Germany and wandered around the countryside for three months before she was found and brought home.

Agriculture deputy secretary showed the interactive web-based document and map
Today Agriculture Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan highlighted the Know Your Famer, Know Your Food (KYF) Compass, an interactive web-based document and map highlighting USDA support for local and regional food projects and successful producer, business and community case studies. Merrigan highlighted the new tool at the Natural Products Expo West to showcase USDA's work over the past three years. She emphasized how local and regional food systems across the country create additional economic opportunities for farmers, ranchers and food entrepreneurs, expand healthy food access and meet growing customer demand. The Compass was unveiled last week in a webinar with Merrigan and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. "Every day USDA is working to strengthen American agriculture, which helps drive job growth and supports farm-family income," said Merrigan. "The KYF Compass highlights how USDA's support for local and regional food systems has brought additional opportunities to our country's farmers, ranchers, processors, distributors and food entrepreneurs. The stories and maps in the Compass underscore how diverse and innovative American agriculture can be." The KYF Compass is a digital guide to USDA resources related to local and regional food systems. The Compass consists of an interactive U.S. map showing local and regional food projects and an accompanying narrative documenting the results of this work through case studies, photos and video content. The KYF Compass organizes USDA's work on local and regional food systems into seven thematic areas. Among the themes covered on the map and in the narrative portion of the Compass are: local food infrastructure, farm to institution, careers in agriculture, stewardship and local foods, local meat and poultry, healthy food access and local food knowledge. "By encouraging all Americans to know their farmer, USDA is helping consumers learn more about agriculture and the people producing your food," said Merrigan. "The Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative helps farmers and ranchers tap into a vibrant, growing market opportunity. And it's also stimulating a broader national conversation about where our food comes from and how important agriculture is to our country." A large selection of USDA-supported programs and projects is also visible on the KYF Map, which can be displayed by theme, program, or recipient type. Both the KYF Compass and map will be regularly refreshed with new data and case studies. In September 2009, USDA launched the Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food initiative to coordinate USDA resources and expertise on local and regional food systems. The KYF Compass documents the ways in which USDA has collaborated across its 17 agencies and additional offices, enhanced transparency and met congressional mandates from the 2008 Farm Bill on local and regional food. KYF is not a separate USDA program or agency. It is a management initiative to increase inter-agency coordination. For more information and to join the national conversation, please visit the 'Know Your Farmer, Know Your Food' website, at www.usda.gov/knowyourfarmer. You can also join the national conversation on Twitter by using the hash tag #KYF2.

Mine has some war wounds from being used 5 - 6 times a day for 10 months and it's been collecting dust in our closet for 2 1/2 years now, so I am switching them just to start clean and fresh.
They are the lines that connect from the actual pump to the bottle/sheild part providing the air suction. Milk gets caught in them and I sterlized the whole time I used my pump, but they are not as clear as they were when I first bought them.

You know guys, there is nothing saying that even if you have a safe, you can't leave it unlocked. Plus that way you have quick access if you need it. If I am going to be home a few days in a row, sometimes I'll leave the door closed but unlocked, that way I have my pick of my heart's desire. Mine is in my basement, no windows and the sucker weighs 500+ lbs. empty. Plus no outside access from the basement.
I know what you mean about the fewer (choke!) guns. My wife is a schoolteacher and after no summer dough (even though we always put some aside) and the bills are all paid, she'll come out every so often with you don't "need" any more guns, you can olny shoot one at a time! Of course after 34 years of wedded bliss I can tell you what will happen if I ask her to apply the same reasoning to her shoes, clothes, etc.! Can you spell wimp?

I don't have a great gun collection like many here do, but its more then most of 99% of the USA population, I think I can say. Still, I have a Weber BBQ, sitting on my porch 24/7 twelve months a year, whether I'm home or away, on vacation even, that cost as much as some of my rifles. Oddly I don't think or even worry about it....
There is no better friend then your best friend.

Auto Industry Power Shift
Description:There has been a power shift in the auto business- and the car industry is back in the driver's seat. Consumers with aging vehicles- on average 11 years old- and businesses that are back in growth mode- are having to pay up for the cars they now need. IHS Automotive's George Magliano: "The volume is not only going up. The prices are going up because the manufacturers are managing their inventory much better." (1:55)

No worries, girl, 'cause you've got options. Here are five awesome ideas we love for any time of the year.
Hit the pool. Most locales offer indoor swimming pools, whether it's a gym, a private club or a public rec center. Some hotels will even let you book their pool area for a party. Take a look in the yellow pages, do a Google search or start callin' your fave hangout spots and see what you can come up with. Pulling on a bathing suit in the middle of winter and splashin' around will make all your buds happy, promise!
Go play in the snow…with all of your headin' to the beach toys. Make snow castles and forts out of the powdery white stuff and decorate with whatever you can find. Have goodies ready for the best designer, and then pelt her with a snowball. OK, so that last bit isn't summery at all, but who could resist?
Host a cookout. Having Dad fire up the grill when the temps drop will make you nostalgic for the 4th of July fun you had six months ago. For a taste of summer, grab hamburgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob and all the fixings. While it might be a li'l too chilly to eat outdoors, spread a quilt on the floor and have a picnic in your living room. Yum!
Go surfin'. One of my favorite things to do in the summer is to hit up my local water park. Slides, wave pools, lazy rivers—I love 'em all. When it's frosty outside, the next best thing is to head indoors, grab a tube (or a board) and dive in. You won't get the heat of the sun on your face, but you'll love playin' around with your buds in your hot new b-day bikini.
Luau, natch! Get those leis ready, 'cause when your guests walk through the door, they'll be entering a Hawaiian paradise. Hit up the dollar store for festive tropical décor—palm trees and tiki torches are always fun. Ask Mom or Dad to man the blender so you can serve up fruity frozen drinks with umbrellas, of course. Have a dance-off and then set up a round of limbo. How low can you go?

Yubico Rounds Out PortalGuard's Two-Factor Authentication Offerings by Adding a USB Token to Prevent Unauthorized Access

Yubico rounds out PortalGuard's two-factor authentication offerings by adding a USB-based token. The integrated PortalGuard - YubiKey solution provides a two-factor authentication solution that is cost-effective enough for small organizations, while offering a robust solution to meet enterprise client demands.

The US Secret Service is trying to develop a tool that will determine whether or not a post on social media is meant as sarcasm or if it is a legitimate post. A work order has been posted on a government websites that calls for a tool with the "ability to detect sarcasm and false positives."
Even though this sort of software sounds silly and the Secret Service's work order is strange, there are legitimate reasons for an agency like the Secret Service to know if a post is sarcasm. If someone hops on Twitter and posts something that could be taken as a threat against the President, it might be worth knowing if the person is joking or not.
