Love quotes to ponder: "Familiarity breeds contempt—and children." – Mark Twain As humorous as this love quote may be, there is a ring of truth to Twain's quip. Of course, in his day, he could not just come out and say that familiarity breeds both contempt and sex, but that is what he meant. It [...]
"People who are sensible about love are incapable of it." ~Douglas Yates Love, that indescribable mystery that brings two people together. It comes from a part of our brain that is not ruled by reason but ruled by higher passions. It is good for us that love comes not from our logic but from our [...]

Love, a powerful emotion and choice. It creates strong affection and builds the bonds of relationship. If cultivated well, it starts as overwhelming desire and mellows to a life long endearment and attachment. It embodies the virtues of loyalty, kindness, charity, compassion, and affection. It is so central to who we are, that those that are religious find the most identified of human emotions in God is - Love. And because love is a vital force in cementing interpersonal relationships and is central to who we are, it is also the most common theme in the arts.

My go to foundation is Revlon Colorstay ( 200 nude) I decided to give this a try because I want a cheaper foundation to use on days I'm not doing much and don't want to waste the colorstay for a few hours of being out. So... I heard such good things about this.. I decided to give it a go... I'm not very into Rimmel products so I wasn't expecting much.. I love the coverage and I love the lasting power. However I do believe it applies dry so you have to have a well moist surface. Also it has a sticky feel to it especially after a few hours.. Kinda feels like omg.. I need to wash my face LOL I'm not a very oily person.. This is the only down side to it.. I would buy it again... but..... I wouldn't use it in the summer that would probably just make the sticky worse. It's not so sticky to where its like OMG this is horrible. I put it on today around 9am and it's now 8pm so that many hours and its just now starting to feel sticky, It did what I needed it to do for the day... but I am very impressed wit the coverage..... I would say the coverage is the next best thing to colorstay. In the Rimmel I got 200 and I'm a 200 in colorstay perfect color match!

This is such a great foundation! It reminds me of the revlon colorstay a bit, so if you're a fan I'd try this! I saw gossmakeupartist's review and had to try! Also bought it because I wanted a foundation without spf ( revlon colorstay gives bad flashback in photos ): ) so thought this would be perfect for a night out! I have only tried it a few times but I'll update if it flashes back or not! This foundation has great coverage! If you find it cakey apply it with a stippling brush, works like a dream! ( I like the real techniques one ) I doubt any foundation lasts 25 hours but lasts ages even when I wear it to work and after around 8 hours it still looked perfect! The only problem I have is that I find the finish very dewy, not a huge fan of that as I like a matte foundation as my skin is a bit oily and acne prone. However, nothing that a bit of mac studio fix powder with a sponge can fix (: the shade range is a bit rubbish, the shades are very pink. But overall I love it so far, such a good price for an excellent product, I'd buy it again!!

Great foundation. Just as good, if not better, than some high-end foundations and I've tried a lot. Makes your face look flawless, without the cake mask face. I would say it's a medium coverage that is buildable to a full. The foundation gives a semi-matte, satin finish. The lasting power is very good. It holds throughout the day. A good 8 hours, and I still look fresh by the end of the day.
I do have slightly dry skin, and even though it works well for oily skin, I find that it also works great on drier skin. It doesn't accentuate the dryness around my nose and cheek area.
The consistency of this foundation is thick. It's thicker than, say, colorstay. It's very easy to blend - either with your hands or a foundation brush. I find that with using my hands I get a more matte finish, and if I use a foundation brush, it's more dewy. Depends on what finish I'm after. But both techniques work fine.
I do like the packaging. It's easy to use and light-weight. I won't have issues of dropping it and having it smash all over the floor. But most importantly, it's light enough to take with you on the go if needed.
The reason I give it a 4, not a 5 is the due to the limited colour selection and that it isn't fragrance free. Luckily, I've found a near perfect match for my skin. I'm an NC25, and I've found that #103 True Ivory is a pretty close match.

I just bought my third tube of this foundation. I have sensitive skin that changes according to the weather, and need foundation specific to that. When it is warm outside and my skin is a bit oilier, this is my go-to foundation (when its dry I like maybelline Fit Me as a comparable, drupstore/ inexpensive product). The colors are nicely blendable. My skin is reddish whis I am always fighting, and the beige of all three tones I have used are good at canceling out the red around my nose and chin, giving an even finish. It is blendable for long enough that I don't feel like I am racing against the clock, and does hold up for hours (not 25 though, more like 8).
Now, when I am in a clod climate and my skin is dry it sinks into my pores and any flakes or skin uneven textures and looks awful, at those times I need a more liquid foundation. As I live in Florida, this isn't an issue often, and at under $10 its affordable to keep a few different kinds of foundation on hand. I will purchase this again.
Packaging: after a while it gets to a point when the product bleeds out of the little hole in the top after you've squeezed it, which can result in wasted product and a small mess on the bathroom counter.

This is one of the first foundations I have found that doesn't make my face look cakey. I have combination skin, my forehead and chin are somewhat oily while my cheeks and nose are dry. A lot of the foundations I have tried make the dryness worse but this one doesn't do that whatsoever. This foundation evens out my skin and gives it a nice, natural finish. Best foundation for me so far and I will definitely buy again!

This foundation is amazing- out of all Rimmels foundations to date it's my fav!
*Gives great coverage
*Even colour
*Stays put (especially on a night out!) it doesn't transfer (especially if you use ya phone!)
-Great value for money!
It blends perfectly (i find blending with your fingers works better than using a foundation brush as the warmth of your fingers helps with blending) I blob a bit in the palm of my left hand and use my right hand as the 'brush' by starting at the center of my cheeks and blending towards the hairline. It stays put and is great value for money especially when compared to higher end foundations!

I am simply gobsmacked by this product! To start, my skin is extremely oily and very picky about what I put on it. I have been using Revlon ColorStay liquid for about 3 years now, and it has always been the only thing that works for me. Every other foundation I have tried, be it liquid, powder, or something in between, either doesn't dry matte and feels tacky, has too much shimmer in it, or doesn't have enough coverage (which I need a lot of due to uneven skin tone, large pores, and blemishes.) However, my ColorStay routine is quite intense and time consuming, and there are some days where I would rather not have to spend so much time on my face. I'm not really sure what prompted me to try this foundation, perhaps it was the price (almost half of what I usually pay for my ColorStay) but I am very very excited and happy that I did. I am a #150 Buff in ColorStay and decided to try the Ivory in the Lasting Finish, and it is a perfect match. I apply milk of magnesia on my face first as a primer, which definitely helps curb the oil. I then put about a nickel sized blob of foundation on the back of my hand and apply it with a flat foundation brush. With one layer it provides very good medium-high coverage, and for someone with nice skin that would probably be more than adequate. However, I had a few areas that I felt needed to be gone over a second time, and it was very easy to build coverage as needed. I even used a bit more with a small concealer brush to spot conceal a couple blemishes - no need for concealer! It dried quite quickly and at first I was scared it wouldn't be matte enough, but after applying some powder it looked amazing and I was beyond pleased with the coverage, the color, and how well it blurred my large pores. Throughout my 8 hour day I only blotted and re-powdered once, and it looked and felt great all day. I am so pleasantly surprised by how much I like this foundation. I was ready to be let down again and get ready to make a return, but I will definitely be keeping and using this foundation over and over again. A+ for Rimmel with this one.
Buildable medium-high coverage
Very affordable
Gives a dewy look without looking too oily
Sets nicely with powder, stays on all day
Somewhat limited shade range
Not sure how I feel about the tube vs. bottle
Faint scent (may bother some people)

This is a great product. I have very oily skin in my t-zone, and I feel that this foundation was great for me, especially with Rimmel's Stay Matte powder over top. The colour selection confused me a tad, I bought the shade Ivory, but in the store, it was way too dark, but i bought it anyway. When I actually put it on, I noticed that it actually matched my skintone perfectly!! I like the packaging, however I wish that it was a big larger, I feel like because it isn't a full coverage foundation (it is buildable) I have to use a bit more than usual, it probably won't last me very long. The foundation definitely has a longevity, not sure if it is 25 hours, but it lasts me from atleast 10:00am-8:00pm, which is great to me!! Love it, wish it was a more full coverage, but that's about it! :)

The one foundation I always have to go back to. Good coverage, doesnt look too cakey on my skin. Doesnt last all day tho. Apply primer to make it last slightly longer. And for approximately 5 pounds, it's definitely worth it. I'm olive skinned and I use the 200 soft beige color. :)

Quinta do Tedo is a single quinta Port house owned by Vincent Bouchard (you may have heard of Bouchard Pere et Fils as well as Domaine William Fevre, both owned by his relatives). Vincent, however, chose to strike out on his own many years ago, first by working for a cooperage and then by seeking out a property where he could produce delicious wine as organically as possible. He found his spot at Quinta do Tedo, which is now making some very stylish ports. This is a lovely tawny, a fresher, younger and fruitier style that is not too sweet and has just the barest hint of nuttiness on the finish. Terrific balance. (Joe Manekin, K&L Port buyer)

Arizona Diamondbacks
D-backs' Towers: Wade Miley may be turning season around
It has just been that kind of season for Wade Miley and the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Miley pitched his best game of the season Tuesday in Pittsburgh, but couldn't earn the win when closer Addison Reed blew the save.
Miley allowed two hits in eight shutout innings, as the D-backs entered the ninth inning leading 2-0.
Instead of finishing his shutout, Miley surrendered back-to-back hits to lead off the ninth. In came Reed, who gave up a game-tying double, which was nearly caught, and the walk-off single.
"He battled and gave it everything he had," D-backs general manager Kevin Towers said on the Doug and Wolf show on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM. "You even look at the couple hits in the ninth inning, they weren't hit hard, they just happened to find spots."
Miley is 3-6 in 2014 and is carrying a career-worst 4.61 ERA following a two-season stretch when he was 26-21 with a 3.44 ERA. While Miley has had other solid outings this season, none were quite as dominant as Tuesday night's gem.
"I thought he had good tempo right from the beginning of the game," Towers said. "He attacked the zone. He was keeping the ball out of the middle part of the plate. He was changing speeds. I thought he had an extra gear with fastball when he needed it last night. He was hitting all different quadrants."
Miley fanned 10 hitters without allowing a walk for only the second time in his career. Towers thinks the lefty may be able to string together better starts with the improved strikeout to walk ratio.
"When the walks are down (and) the strikeouts are up, those are good indicators that a guy's starting to turn it around," Towers said.

The Hoisington Wrestling team came as close as a team can come in not winning a team championship at the Central Kansas League tournament hosted by Hoisington this past Saturday. The team lost by just a mere 1/2 point to Smoky Valley High School. Making it even tougher on the Cardinals was that they had the fire power to have won the tournament, if they had been able to be at full strength. Gone from the lineup was one of their main cogs in senior Chance Boor at 195 lbs. Chance a state placer last year has been a ...

Customer Reviews
I've sunk way too much time into this...
Like At Games other notable work, Puzzlecraft, this is a resource collection game.
The twist - the Guess Who suspect matching, map search, and crime scene search - keep it fresh and engaging for people who like logic puzzles. The story, though, is what keeps me playing, because I've basically beat the entire game forever.
Let me explain a bit: I had to use candies to advance in a couple phases in the early missions (failed to collect enough evidence to advance properly or whatever). But once I unlocked enough tools to guarantee the next drop, along with mastering the bonus system, I started getting $10,000 or so per major case. Money is basically useless and now it's a story game/room decoration simulator.
I dropped $5 to speed up deliveries and increase the size of the newspaper stack, but there's absolutely no need to buy candy if you're patient and use the practice missions to experiment with combos of skills and tools.
A couple minor flaws:
It forgot some of the purchases I made in the facial features section, which makes me wonder if there's some bug in the purchases as a whole.
Chapter 3 really drags on. Each major case will take a day or so to unlock (without the paid upgrades), so when the newspaper requirement for Chapter 4 dropped back to 10, it was a breath of fresh air.
There's no challenge in the puzzle portion once you unlock all the tools.
Still, five stars - I've got my money's worth for this.
Unique and Fun
I really enjoyed this game! I finished it and LOVE the ending. You feel so accomplished after finishing it and you love the characters in the story. It was a little confusing at first, due to the lack of directions, but after you get the hang of it, it's really fun! I highly recommend slowly and carefully reading though the directions at the beginning, but it's mainly practice and patterns. I've never played any other game like this, and would recommend all to try it. It might not be for everyone, but the storylines interesting, it's entertaining, and you don't have to buy anything to finish the game. You will have to have patience, because you have to wait to get energy, but besides that it's pretty much a touch and go type of game. Here's something funny, if you play the game long enough and meet most of the suspects you find a man who looks exactly like Carl from "Up". Anyway hope my review helped, try the game and hope you enjoy it as much as I did. :)
Too hard, too fast, and it's the worst kind of freemium.
It gets too hard too fast, and you feel like you absolutely have to use the feels-like-cheating tools just to get through a level. It's fun for like, a day. Then you just get frustrated because you have to start guessing to get through the clues phases.
It's also the worst kind of freemium. The ads to get one candy are forever long, like 2 movie previews length. Seriously? For one candy? Then all the stuff you need take a lot of candy, and you sometimes have to use 10 candy just to get enough moves to get through a level. I can deal with freemium games where you can just farm the premium currency given enough time, but when you literally have to wait for currency to fall in your lap to pass levels or just spin your wheels without really getting anywhere? Lame. What are you supposed to do, just buy all the worthless costume items until you have enough candy saved up? Then you spend the candy to get past the initial match- 3 phase and then you don't have enough clues to get the rest of it? Really?
All I'm all, promising, but dreams die fast.

Business writing
Writing business English is very different from academic writing, and requires a more concise approach. Busy executives do not have the time to read through pages of elaborate and argumentative text. They need facts and opinions that are clearly stated and logically presented. They also require a level of courtesy and accuracy that conforms with corporate styles and conventions. In other words, business writing is a discipline and skill that needs to be learnt no matter how good the writer's command of English happens to be.
The Language & Training Centre offers face to face courses as well as online courses in business English throughout the year.
Course schedule January - March 2014
Deadline of enrolment: eight days before the start of the course

Inclusion of Mobility in Cell Planning: Multi-Period Joint Optimization
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Although cell planning techniques have been widely applied, these formulations generally assumed static demand traffic, and either the average or worst case values are used in the design. Further, the impact of user mobility is usually ignored. The authors use examples to illustrate that better radio resource usage is possible by incorporating the time-varying traffic in the design, and that the user mobility can be similarly converted to multi-period optimization problem. They next formulate the one-dimensional cell planning problem, and demonstrate how it can be converted into a binary linear programming problem before solving for the optimal solution.

If you're looking for a unique home based business that has minimal competition and potential to generate a six-figure income, then look no further. Starting a business that manufactures and sells junkyard furniture is a very interesting venture. The key to its success is to create funky, yet functional furniture from discarded items typically found at a wrecking yard or junkyard. The most popular junkyard furniture items are generally couches and chairs that have been partially assembled from antique auto parts, such as a couch fashioned out of a '57 Chevy front end. Starting this type of business does have its prerequisites--creative and artistic ability, a well-equipped workshop, and design and construction skills. However, for the innovative entrepreneur who possesses these abilities, a fun, interesting and potentially profitable business venture is waiting.Related Business Ideas

The Defense Logistics Agency is one of many federal organizations promoting Telework Week. (DLA graphic)
Close to 100,000 federal employees will telework from home – or perhaps their favorite Wi-Fi hotspot – for at least a day during the newly rebranded Mobile Work Exchange's Telework Week.
The third-annual global effort to encourage agencies, industry and individuals to pledge telework time has more than 106,000 participants, 90 percent of which are federal employees. This year's Telework Week runs from March 4 through March 8.
Last year's event, also held during the first week of March, totaled 71,000 participants, evidence that telework and mobility efforts are growing within the federal ranks, said Mobile Work Exchange general manager Cindy Auten.
"I think it shows the momentum of telework, with everything going on this week," Auten said.
Some Telework Week facts:
Auten said participating federal employees average "between two and three" days of remote work during Telework Week, and said post-event studies conducted by Mobile Work Exchange have shown increased productivity in 70 percent of organizations that participated. Auten said another study is planned after this year's Telework Week, with results to be publicized at Mobile Work Exchange's Town Hall Meeting on April 30 in Washington, D.C.
Auten said most, if not all agencies participate to some degree in Telework Week, though some, like the Departments of Agriculture and Transportation, really excel in telework.
For good reason, too: The statistical savings, both in commuting costs and environmental damage, realized are significant, according to data pulled by Mobile Work Exchange. Commuting costs alone will be cut $7.5 million during Telework Week as feds ride the couch instead of their vehicles, with the majority of work done on laptops. Individual teleworkers will save an average of $75 in fuel and 3.5 hours in commuting time.

Comparing this to the Sciortino ad (which the poster and, really, the ad itself suggest), it comes off as a poor imitation. The missing Tea Party versus Massachusetts Liberal dynamic is a key difference. But I also think Sciotino's is more successful because it is more cheerful, upbeat, and modern in both the writing and production. The ad opens and peaks with clever references to Sciortino being openly gay too which helps it flow better in to the policy pieces. And Sciortino being young and young looking also makes it work better. In contrast, to me, Grossman's ad is much less interesting and feels less fun.
MassHealth Not GIC is Far Biggest Cost (1 Reply)
Your comment here is founded on a fundamental misunderstanding about the reality of health care costs for government and employer:
The cost of healthcare in the state budget revolves around employee benefits. The expense comes in providing health benefits to state employees.
This "fact" is not at all true. Health benefits for state employees is about a $1.3 billion annual cost. Real money, sure, but dwarfed by the $14 billion spent on Medicaid annually. For details, you know facts and all, see here: http://www.massbudget.org/browser/subcat.php?id=State+Employee+Health+Insurance
Meanwhile, Medicare spends about $15 billion a year while the commercially insured spend about $18 billion a year on medical costs alone while siphoning off $1.8 billion for non-medical costs of private health insurance (administration and other "profit"). See:
http://commonhealth.wbur.org/2014/09/mass-health-costs-first-yearI'd submit that when you take a real look at the health care system in Massachusetts, single payer seems like a fair better solution than when you narrow the question to what to do about state employees.
"Fingerprint Trigger Locks" (1 Reply)
Yes, on his website and in many other places, Tolan has used the phrase "smart gun technology" to describe what he seeks to mandate in new guns sold.
And I get that this is somewhat of a vague term that may include radio-emitting technology that's not accurately described as only a trigger lock.
BUT, Toman's website (and Tolman himself) frequently defines "smart gun" technology as follows:
This technology, which includes fingerprint trigger locks, prevents anyone other than a gun's owners from pulling the trigger.(emphasis added)
Then, in this very ad, Tolman wisely avoids the term "smart gun" altogether and says simply he will "require fingerprint trigger locks on new guns sold."
Given these clarifications, do you still think Tolman is actually proposing to mandate new guns include anything other than a biometric or "personalized" trigger lock?
Blackjack is a Simple Game (1 Reply)
A great player (one who has memorized the odds of any particular hand beating any particular dealer's up card) has literally no decisions to make. Depending on the dealer's up card and the total count of the player's cards, a great player can make the "correct" decision (the decision that gives them the best odds of winning) on whether to hit, stay, double or split under any circumstance.
Meanwhile, the dealer makes absolutely no decisions whatsoever. They may not double and may not split. They hit until their cards total 16 or less (always hitting 16s) and stay if and when their cards total 17 or more. Again, the dealer is a robot, paying the player when they their either go over 21 or stick on 17-21 and beat the players hand.
All that said, there are two relatively simply ways to change the odds for Blackjack and to (as proposed) increase the house edge to match the house edge on slot machines:
(1) As kirth points out, one way to increase the "house edge" (to reduce the average amount a player wins) is simply reducing the amount that the casino pays the player for getting dealt a "blackjack" (an Ace and a Ten or face card totaling 21) in their first two cards. This doesn't really "change the odds of winning" (which is probably why you found it confusing) but it does decrease the average amount that a player will win. Since the odds of getting dealt a blackjack are about 5%, cutting the amount paid out upon getting a blackjack in half (say from 2-1 to 3-2) increases the "house edge" by about 2.5%. With the average game playing roughly 80 hands and hour, even small changes in the amount paid out for blackjack can have a big effect over time.
2) The second and most common way that casinos increase their "house edge" is by limiting the options for the player by changing the basic rules of the game. There are 6,912 different types of commonly played blackjack each with subtle combinations of different rules! The "house edge" can be increased not allowing players to double their bet after a split or with a hand other than a 10 or 11, not allowing players to split Aces or to re-split already split hands, etc. These are all very subtle changes (each changing the "house edge" by less than 1%) but they certainly *do* effect the odds that a player will win or lose money over time.
This is probably more than someone who mistakenly thinks blackjack is "literally the luck of the draw" wants to know. But hopefully this helps you understand that you certainly can and the casinos certainly do "artificially change blackjack odds".
In Reading, certainly not an enclave of super liberal ideology, the undecideds take first place at about 44%, next comes support for Berwick(they'll actually vote for him) by 37%, Coakley 13%, and last Grossman at 6%.
Yeah, right. How about an actual cite for these (I assume) completely made up numbers? What a bunch of nonsense.
Unions have not endorsed anyone and will not be out campaigning for one candidate or another.
This is also ridiculous. Of course "the unions" have endorsed candidates in the Gubernatorial primary. They will spend millions of dollars in direct mail, advertising and for their ground operations in the next two weeks. Mostly for Coakley (who's been endorsed by 1199SEIU, AFSCME, and many other power players in the state's labor movement).
This theory (that lead levels were connected to crime rates) has been around for a good while now. At least since 2007: http://freakonomics.com/2007/07/09/lead-and-crime/
It fails to gain traction for the very reasons alluded to in the article you cite. The solutions to reducing lead poisoning (an ongoing and important effort across the country but especially for those living in older housing stock) are increased environmental regulations and assistance for poor people. In contrast, the most vocal law & order folks prefer "solutions" that don't affect them so directly or cost as much. Imprisonment and more religion in public spheres.
Are you against offering brewery tours? The various "Brew Runs" held across the state every year? Wine related tourism? (e.g.: http://www.massvacation.com/blog/2012/08/the-massachusetts-wine-cheese-trail-expands/ )
Two short paragraphs and yet loaded with pure nonsense.
Marijuana is decidedly *not* a harmful drug. You've brought up virtually no "real evidence" here aside from a handful of people getting sick from ingesting too much candy, cookies or chocolate. Decades of research has proven that marijuana is far *less* harmful than alcohol, cigarettes or 16 ounce sodas.
But where you really get my goat is with this ridiculousness:
I want to understand why adding MORE options for people to hurt themselves for revenue is good because the other two aren't going away. Explain why you want to add more.
In no way does legalizing marijuana "add more options for people to hurt themselves." Marijuana is already an option for the estimated 400,000 + individuals who smoke it at least once a month in Massachusetts. Legalization is decidedly *not* adding a new "option" for most people.
What it does do is end the Prohibition of an already widely-used drug that has been shown to have very few harmful effects. Ending the prohibition of marijuana will almost undoubtedly *reduce* harm to society by severely undercutting the criminal marijuana black market and increasing regulation. Reducing crime, saving law enforcement and judicial resources, and (a nice side benefit) increasing revenue.
This is a *legal* and public policy debate about what should be considered a state crime. And whether the downsides of Prohibition are at all worth criminalizing the re-sale of a plant.
The Fair Labor Division of the AG's office does already have a permanent hotline that is available to everyone. The number is (617) 727-3465.
This number can and should be used by anyone with complaints related to violations of state law related to the payment of wages, minimum wage laws, overtime, prevailing wage, pay stub and record keeping, tip pooling, independent contractor, and retaliation laws.

not all gambling is created equal
And the Lottery is the one of the worst kind of gambling there is.
Promoted by the state (and, therefore, by all of us as taxpayers), the state lottery is rigged much more than any casino game. Last fiscal year, people bet $4.86 billion on the Massachusetts lottery. The lottery paid back just $3.51 billion of that in prizes (about 72%). It made net profits of $971 billion (returned to cites and towns) and the remaining 8% was paid out in administrative costs plus commissions/bonus to retail stores.
That house edge for the lottery (again, about 20%-28% depending how you count it) is unconscionably high. The house edge in Roulette is 5.2%, about 2% in Craps, less than 1% in Blackjack, and anything from 2%-12% on slot machines.
The state lottery is a reverse ATM machine that takes your money much, much faster than the casinos.
Personally, I wouldn't make either casinos or the lottery illegal. Prohibition does not work. But spending millions of taxpayer dollars a year to advertise the "opportunity" to play the lottery and to encourage residents to "entertain" themselves by playing games with a 25% house edges is absolutely, unequivocally immoral in my book.
Yes, this detailed explanation of the statement came out before the esteemed Dr. Berwick commented. But much of the rest of what you say here is simply "doubleman-speak":
Coakley did nothing to reduce Partners' negative impact on health care costs.
That's simple not true, as you acknowledge in your next confusing sentence and despite your misleading use of terms like "temporarily" and "slow the growth". Semantics aside, there's no substantive difference between "reducing" Partners' impact on health care costs and "slowing the growth of that negative impact." Among other things, the settlement reduces the negotiating power of Partners, limits its ability to acquire physicians, and places a hard cap on Partners' cost growth (tying it to inflation). Yes, these provisions are not for all eternity but generally are in place from 6.5-10 years each and they will have a real impact on health care costs. And for much longer than "temporary" suggests.
This deal just ensures that Partners' out of control prices are the norm
To the contrary, maintaining the status quo would result from either allowing (without restrictions) or absolutely preventing (through a lawsuit) Partners' acquisition of South Shore Hospital. This settlement seeks a wise middle ground that leverages Partners' desire to acquire South Shore Hospital to get serious and very real concessions from Partners. Operational and legal reforms that actually will control Partners' cost growth and change the "norm".
We need a governor who will take the lead on reversing rapid health care cost increases, not just try to slow them.
There are no candidates for Governor or serious policymakers of any kind who believe that we can actually "reverse" health care cost increases. Goods and services cost more over time because of inflation if for no other reason. Health care cost grow faster than inflation because utilization also increases with technological innovation and because Partners has the negotiating power to increase their prices rapidly. The best we can do is slow cost growth ("cost containment"). Single payer (which I strongly support, for the record) doesn't promise to decrease health care costs and it shouldn't.
It's just that the circumstances are that Martha Coakley is running for governor and battling with one of the biggest entities in the state would not help her campaign.
I just don't by this at all. Politically, taking on Partners is a clear winner. The insurance companies, most other hospitals, the health care labor unions and many others are eager to battle with Partners. Look at the Questionaires from the nurses union and SEIU (available on Maura Healey's website, for one). The MNA asks pressing questions about "the negative impact of health care consolidation", "anticompetitive behavior among large health care systems". SEIU does too, noting that "rapid
growth in health care costs, significant market consolidation and increasing price disparities have all had a direct and negative impact on communities, consumers, and workers."I'd certainly like to think that the endorsement of these powerful unions (and many others) that Coakley has gained (at least in part because of her leadership in taking on Partners) will help her campaign. To me, it's simply political gamesmanship to suggest that Coakley would rather coddle Partners than gain the support of many other powerful political interests (not to mention the general public) who benefit from her ongoing and extensive efforts to limit Partners' negative impact on health care costs.
Partners' Deal Defense (1 Reply)
The AG's office has laid out a detailed argument about why they think the Partners deal was the best possible settlement under the circumstances:
http://www.mass.gov/ago/news-and-updates/press-releases/2014/2014-06-24-partners-settlement.htmlIn my view, those who legitimately question (as opposed to just seek to score easy political points) the AG's commitment to reducing Partners' negative impact on health care costs can't been paying attention to the leading role AG Coakley has taken in this area for many years.
They May Have Heard of Her? (0 Replies)
This poll only shows that 1 out of 11 refused to say whether they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion. Based on the question, those were supposed to be people who have "never heard of" Hillary.
But, the historical record shows that 9% is indeed a relatively high and confusing number. The last Gallup poll (from early June) showed Hillary at 54%-43% with only 3% offering no opinion!
http://www.gallup.com/poll/173591/favorability-potential-presidential-candidates.aspxs_140717%20.pdfI'm not sure why the number is so much higher a month later (2-5% seems like the usual number going back many years). Ironically, it seems like that as she gets back in to the public eye about twice as many respondents prefer to offer "no opinion" and/or claim they "never heard of" Hillary Clinton?
You have any insights in to this phenomenon?
Berwick is "the one consistently leading and changing the debate–about this issue"
Yeah, right. "A lot of people" apparently means 111 people now (the current number of signatories to Berwick's groundbreaking decision)? I'd suggest that's actually an absurdly low number of "followers" for any leader to garner for an online petition.
Aside from Berwick and Grossman, there have been dozens of high-profile critics of the AG's proposed consent agreement in this case. Including numerous hospital CEOs, community organizations, the policy leaders on the Health Policy Commission board, and numerous media outlets.
Given that reality, for either Berwick or Grossman (or their supporters on their behalf) to take credit for the AG's decision to ask the judge to postpone the decision in this case is hubris at best.
She's been in the public eye for 23 years yet only about 40% of the electorate doesn't like her! And almost everyone knows enough about her to have an opinion. Very little is likely to move that number in a meaningful way.
Everyone else – including Biden – has more room to move (up or down!). And everyone else starts with "alarming" negative ratings that math or are lower than Hillary's. History shows that it's very rare for a candidate to greatly improve their favorability rating as name recognition increases. Obama got re-elected easily in 2012 with 40%-45% negative favorability ratings.
You're Not Making Sense (1 Reply)
This whole debate started when you suggested that Hilary's negatives are "alarmingly high." I then pointed out that (despite the "common knowledge" that Hillary is widely hated) her 40% negative rating is actually lower than almost all the other candidates. You said, yeah but favorability will change as name recognition increases. I replied that it seems likely to me that favorability will stay about the same (on average!) since name recognition increases based on both positive and negative publicity. To which you replied, Rand Paul's favorability is likely to get even worse than the current 42% as he becomes better known.
So…. what's your point about Hillary's "alarmingly high" negatives again?

Line-up /Phil Mison
Purple Radio
Mark ForshawThe People's Balearic Disco would like you to FEEL and SHARE the love with us come Saturday 16th February
At the very same venue where we brought you Nicky Siano , we are throwing a FREE party as a huge thank you, for the incredible support you guys have given us in our First year in this amazing City
The venue Studio 2:
...The vibe..Loved up Disco and Balearic grooves.
The crowd: You! The People
Our past 3 parties (Psychemagik, Nicky Siano, Lindstrom) have been absolutely wonderful. We are overwhelmed by the way you People Love to Love!!
This Party will be as spectacular, with some pretty unbelievable music from the man who recently played at Harvey's 39 Hotel in Hawaii, and the man who also sound tracked a thousand sunsets on the White Isle of Ibiza in the early 90's, alongside Jose Padilla. He also stole the show at the recent 'Claremont 56 secret forest party in September, where he was a guest amongst other greats such as the Idjut Boys
We are very proud to have Phil Mison play for us for the first time in Liverpool......
Phil Mison is a London-based DJ, composer, and music producer.
Mison is best known for his compositions in the Balearic, ambient and electronica musical genres, which has been described as "sophisticated, exotic, and close-to-the-bone, mutable yet cohesive". Mison is especially famous in the Balearic music scene, where he has been described as a "pioneer" and a "goliath" of that genre.
Mison began DJing at London's Milk Bar in 1991 where he played warm-up sets for other artists. He lists as his influences popular DJs such as Jose Padilla, who helped him get his start after a chance meeting, which led to a two year residency at Ibiza's Cafe del Mar (93/94), sound tracking a thousand sunsets with his vast collection of records. Phil then went on to put out his first compilation 'Original Chill out' in 1995, which was something of a ground breaking collection
Since then he has gone on to release a further 12 compilations (including four volumes of the hugely popular 'Real Ibiza' series),
He also records with friend Pete Herbert under the Reverso 68 guise, and in 2003 he released his debut artist album under the now familiar Cantoma moniker. The Cantoma label has been a huge success in Europe , Japan and the USA
Phil has also toured with the like of Leftfield and other bands, and has continually over the span of 20 odd years, graced many respected festivals and clubs with his presence.
Some memorable gigs of recent have included Harvey's 39 Hotel in Hawaii, Bestival, Horse Meat Disco, Aficionado, Secret Sundaze, Disco Bloodbath, to name but a few -

10/19/12 Furrowed guilt—mixed scorn If I trouble you, just say Blank stare—tattered, torn If it helps, I'll go away Leave. Me. Alone. NOW Are the words you long to belt Darkness in your brow Bleeding love you never felt Say your goodbyes As the suns you love depart Let me see your eyes Before demons crush your heart What I find under those eyelids is not guilt—but glee
