Rush Limbaugh, "We are the Party of Liberty" Discussing Ron Paul Farwell Address

How would Ron appeal to women
How would Ron appeal to women more than any other Republican? Ron doesn't believe in giving them free abortion and free contraception, which is why they voted for Obama in the last election. The Republican Party is never going to win over single women voters. They need to just concentrate on getting more of the hispanic voters and black voters.

I've never known a woman who voted for president because
she wanted abortion legal. Ever. Those pro-choice see it as one of a bundle of issues, not as a top issue. When they use it as a top issue, there is always something else underneath, imho.
What woman have you personally ever known who truly based their vote on that?
Integrity means having to say things that people don't want to hear & especially to say things that the regime doesnt want to hear -RonPaul

I know women like that
Not all women, probably not even most, but there certainly are those who make that top priority. Don't doubt me.

Not true. I have met many
Not true. I have met many women (and men) who judge a candidate by their stance on abortion. I have heard plenty of people say ...but he would make abortion illegal....

Hispanics and Blacks clearly
Hispanics and Blacks clearly vote on race and vote for those who send them money and free schooling.
The numbers are already in--whites making under $50K did not come out to vote for Romney.
Solve that one, and Republicans can still win. Hint: Amnesty won't help. Tax cuts won't help (they hardly pay taxes.)
They don't want their kids being sent off to these idiot wars, and they don't want their government to constantly import new people to compete with for wages and neighborhoods.

How COULD Ron Appeal to Women?
...you asked. I am sure your intent was not to create another division and yet a new "us" (in this case men) and "them" (in this case women); however, I took it that way and found it both erroneous and very offensive.
Many of the females O'Bama attracted undoubtedly were welfare proponents and college females still in their "pollyanna" stage; however, I seriously doubt that "free" abortion and "free" contraceptives are the be-all lure attracting females.
You stated that "the Republican Party is NEVER going to win over single female voters and should concentrate on Hispanics and blacks. I suppose you mean "male" Hispanics and blacks as a fair number in those two categories are also female.
Perhaps you don't always recognize females by blog names. There are mahy females on this blog and many are single.
How Ron Paul Appeals to Females:
1. Many are intelligent and just as interested in and capable of comprehending liberty issues as males.
2. Many females see the downward spiral and care about the world they leave for their children and grandchildren.
3. Many females have religious roots and are glad that Dr. Paul does as well while noting that he does not alienate anyone of any faith thereby setting an example for all of us.
4. Many females are pro-life and recognize this as a divisive issue agreeing that perhaps interim kicking the issue back to the States is a good approach while lauding his "Sanctity of Life" bill.
5. Many females recognize the wisdom that comes from a lifetime of studying economics, social climate, monetary policy and see that wisdom in Ron Paul and the banality in most politicians.
6. Many females oppose foreign intervention and perhaps see and relate to the desires of mothers and sisters and daughters all over the world and take that into consideration when evaluating the purpose, justice and morality in our activities overseas.
7. Many females see the character and qualities in Ron Paul the man, the husband, the father, the grandfather and either recognize those qualities in what they love about their husbands, fathers and grandfathers or they wish that those qualities were resident in the males around them.
Ron Paul appeals to many females and in a better world he would appeal to all of them. I think if he read your post he would just shake his head which is yet another reason Ron Paul appeals to females. Thank goodness your statement does not reflect the mind-set of all "real conservative" males.
Cordially & Peace,
A "real" conservative female

Most women don't give a whit
about free abortions or free contraception. Women vote democratic more than Republican because women are more liberal than men in general.

It was a very odd segment. If you didn't know the facts, you'd think with it that Ron was a Romney supporter. Rush didn't even acknowledge that Paul hates militarism and the drug war.

44 shot in mosque, 12 other civilians killed: Boko Haram claims credit
Gunman shot people praying at a mosque in northeast Nigeria, while another 12 civilians died in an apparently simultaneous attack, security agents said Monday.
Sunday Alamba/AP
MAIDUGURI, Nigeria
Suspected Islamic militants wearing army fatigues gunned down 44 people praying at a mosque in northeast Nigeria, while another 12 civilians died in an apparently simultaneous attack, security agents said Monday.
Sunday's attacks were the latest in a slew of violence blamed on religious extremists in this West African oil producer, where the radical Boko Haram group, which wants to oust the government and impose Islamic law, poses the greatest security threat in years.
It was not immediately clear why the Islamic Boko Haram would have killed worshipping Muslims, but the group has in the past attacked mosques whose clerics have spoken out against religious extremism. Boko Haram also has attacked Christians outside churches and teachers and schoolchildren, as well as government and military targets.
Since 2010, the militants have been blamed for the killings of more than 1,700 people, according to a count conducted by The Associated Press.
The news about Sunday's violence in Borno state, one of three in the northeast under a military state of emergency, came as journalists received a video featuring Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau, who gloats over recent attacks, threatens more, and even says his group is now strong enough to go after the United States.
The mosque slayings occurred Sunday morning in Konduga town, 35 kilometers (22 miles) outside Maiduguri, the capital of Nigeria's Borno state.
A state security service agent and Usman Musa, a member of a civilian militia that works with the military, said Monday they counted the bodies at the mosque after the attack. Musa said four members of his group — known as the Civilian Joint Task Force — were also killed when they reached Konduga and encountered "fierce resistance from heavily armed terrorists."
Musa and the security service agent said the attackers wore military camouflage uniforms used by the Nigerian army, which they may have acquired in one of their attacks on military bases.
On their way back from Konduga, the security forces came upon the scene of another attack at Ngom village, 5 kilometers (3 miles) outside Maiduguri, where Musa said he counted 12 bodies of civilians.

help! Washington conure breeders?!?
Please please please help me out!!!
I really would Like to buy a green cheek conure. Just a normal. But I can't find any breeders in Washington that aren't over $200. if you can please help.Thanks |
Re: help! Washington conure breeders?!?
Speaking as someone who's just gone out and spent $300 on a cage, food, and various toys for a new arrival, if you're struggling to find a breader that can get you a conure for under $200, you might want to think about the costs involved in keeping a bird, not just the bird itself.
That said, check craigslist/gumtree/whatever, sometimes I spot people giving away their birds for whatever reason for free or cheap. Just make sure you ask why they're giving away their pet. Featherbags aren't cheap! |
Re: help! Washington conure breeders?!?
Here is a list of breeders in WA that breed GCC: Bird Breeders in Washington WA - BirdBreeders.com - Avian Directory of Available Birds and Bird Breeders
None of them have any at the moment, but I bet if you contacted them they would be able to tell you when they expect another clutch and prices. That way you can prepare. |

Packers deactivations and chat reminder
By Kevin Seifert
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The
Green Bay Packers
' list of game-day deactivations included a couple of interesting names. Tight end
D.J. Williams
, defensive end
Phillip Merling
and running back
James Starks
are all healthy scratches for this game.
Starks (toe) was probable for the game from a health standpoint, but he is going to have to earn a spot on the Packers' game-day depth chart.
Remember, I plan to spend most of Sunday's game over in our
NFL Countdown Live chat
. I'll post blog items only if something really, really crazy happens.

Cooks Country Jacks Up Online Access Price 175%

- Follow
I know I've groused about Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Country price gouging on Chowhound before, but today, the company took it to a whole new level. I hope anyone who's a subscriber to their web sites takes note.
It's bad enough, as many people have mentioned here and other places online, that the company essentially makes you pay for access to their content on any and every single platform: print subscription, web subscription, iPad subscriptions are all separate - and not inexpensive - fees. The $29.95 annual price for cooksillustrated.com access - which you need to make use of their "free" iPhone app - doesn't even get you access to the full site's contents. For that, you pay an additional fee of $14.95 for the "Editors' Choice" Membership, which includes a select number of recipes for their published books (many of which I've purchased as well).
Together with the separate subscriptions for both pubs on iPad, I have a total of EIGHT subscriptions and associated fees for TWO publications.
For the most part, I've swallowed the fees and told myself that, given the number of good meals I've enjoyed from their work, it's worth it. Maybe not a bargain, given all the other sources of really very good recipes online, but manageable.
Today I received a notice from the company, however, letting me know my annual membership to cookscountry.com would expire this month, and it would be renewed at "the current regular membership price of $34.95."
Nowhere do they mention that this is a price increase of 175% year over year. That's right - last year, the annual membership to cookscountry.com was $19.95. Now, it's $34.95.
Worse yet, I went online to cancel my membership so they would not automatically charge my card on file this newly exorbitant price. Despite being paid up on my last annual membership through April 5, the site cancelled my access immediately. Talk about a huge middle finger to anyone who's had it with their price gouging. It took 15 minutes on the phone with a customer service representative to reinstate my online subscription for the remaining time I'd already paid for.
Although I love the content put forth by this company, their shading marketing practices and ham-fisted pricing strategies leave such a bad taste in my mouth, it's hard to remember how good their recipes are. I'm now thinking about cancelling all my subscriptions to the various and sundry products I've already paid for and just cooking from my enormous backlog of issues (or picking up the occasional "Best of" collection, which they seem to issue every other month).
I'm sure I'm in for another similarly insane price increase for online access to cooksillustrated.com when my annual membership for that expires soon. I'll have to let that one go as well.
Or, like their rip-off online cooking school, maybe enough subscribers will cry foul that they'll come to their senses and readjust their pricing. We'll see.
Yep shady marketing and price gouging is exactly why I dropped my online subs a few years ago. They can KMA.

re: pdxgastro
The same thing just happened to me, and I don't think I was sufficiently warned.
Frankly, even if they do warn you, it's a lousy business model. Let people use a service for as long as they're paid up.
Why should I risk waiting until the last moment and forgetting to cancel?
Go to Amazon.com and search for Cook's Illustrated and Cook's Country bound annual editions. You can buy used copies of past years for usually under $10. I have nearly the entire set (used) at really good prices.

re: ferret

Home prices rise for 6th straight month
MIAMI (AP) -- Home prices rose for the sixth straight month in November, fueled by tax credits for homebuyers.
The Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index released Tuesday inched up 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted reading of 145.49. The index was off 5.3 percent from November last year, nearly matching analysts' estimates that it would fall by 5.1 percent.

"They look beautiful. I ordered thank you cards, but loved that I could change the caption to something more general and appropriate for my present."
"I loved the quality of the card and the ability to personalize it both inside and out. Everyone who received it thought it was a wonderful remembrance."
"I created this thank you card for my daughter's first birthday. I simply uploaded my favorite image taken of her that day and modified the text style/size. The card came out teh way I wanted it - simple yet beautiful! The quality (of paper and printing) is always excellent. Family and friends LOVE the card, and I do too that I will be keeping a copy for myself :) Between the design, quality, and customer service, I always go back to Tiny Prints!"
"This delicately detailed thank you card is just precious ... it perfectly suits its use, which is for thank you notes for my newborn son."
"Delivery was fast. However, I wish I could have changed the font size to be a little bigger, but not a big deal. Card is still beautiful and modern."

2010 BMW Z4 sDrive30i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
This is my first BMW purchase and I am very pleased with the vehicle. Driving the vehicle has been a real please. The driving and steering response is excellent. The miles per gallon 23.5 city and highway has been excellent. Too bad the vehicle does not use regular gasoline. The run free tires are a good option. However, if low tire pressure occurs, the dashboard only indicates low pressure. It does not tell you what tire is low.

2010 BMW Z4 sDrive30i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
This BMW is finally a testament to BMW's ability to create a driving machine. Roadsters in the present day have become too feminine and superficial. There is no longer a thrill to having a slung-back drop-top coupe to whip you along coastal roads. But with the Z4, this little machine totes you feel as though you are a part of the road. The power is subtle enough for anyone to use as a daily driver, but for those glorious summer days where all you want to feel is wind whipping through your hair and adrenaline rushing through your veins, this car has the ability to do so. A complete lion draped in sheep's fur. Best combo: heated seats, top down, chilly spring afternoon.

2010 BMW Z4 sDrive30i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
I ordered my Z4 for European Delivery and enjoyed my trip to Munich and the new BMW Welt. The car is absolutely awesome, 6 speed manual tranny has a short throw, well spaced gears and makes the car more like a classic roadster. With the hardtop up it is a weather tight coupe. Styling is incredible inside and out. Sport seats are very comfortable. Trunk has enough room for a good sized suitcase even with the top down. This is my 8th BMW and may well be my favorite. Car gets lots of thumbs up from all ages. It is the best looking sports car sold in the US under $60K.

2010 BMW Z4 sDrive30i 2dr Convertible (3.0L 6cyl 6M)
I traded in a 2005 Z4 and there is no comparison, also own a Miata which is a toy. This car is great for highway driving as well as running around country roads in the sports mode. This car is much more civilized then the much touted Porsche boxter. I could have purchased the Porsche for the same money to me there was no contest. This car is totally redesigned. Wherever i go people stare at this beautiful machine. I love to drive it.

- Row Over Hospitals Declaring 'Major Incidents' Wed, Jan 28, 2015
A new political row has erupted over the NHS after Labour claimed the Government was trying to make it harder for hospitals to declare "major incidents". Shadow health secretary Andy Burnham claimed new "enhanced criteria" - issued to NHS trusts in the West Midlands - advised the trusts to consider whether there was "political involvement or excessive media coverage" and whether there was "a risk of reputational damage" before declaring a major incident. The row follows a spate of major incidents - which are triggered when patient demand reaches a level that could disrupt hospital services and alerts community hospitals and other health centres to make extra beds available. In an urgent question in the House of Commons, Mr Burnham pointed to the NHS England document and dismissed a claim by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt that it was simply a "local operational issue".

- 'Euro Leaders Are Cowards' Over Juncker Vote Sat, Jun 28, 2014

The Tories have promised a referendum on EU membership should they win the next election - and Mr Hunt believes "cowardice" from Europe's leaders can only make a vote to quit more likely. "As a result of cowardice yesterday from other European leaders who weren't prepared to say in public what they said in private, they're going to have to work a lot harder to persuade the British people that Europe has a reform agenda," he said.

- Late TV star Savile said to have sexually abused dead bodies Thu, Jun 26, 2014
By Michael Holden LONDON (Reuters) - Jimmy Savile, the late BBC TV presenter revealed two years ago to have been one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders, might have sexually abused dead bodies in a hospital where he worked as a volunteer, health investigators said on Thursday. In 2012 police said Savile, one of the Britain's best-known celebrities in the 1970s and 1980s, had sexually abused hundreds of victims, mainly youngsters, at hospitals and at BBC premises over six decades until his death aged 84 in 2011. "As a nation at that time, we held Savile in our affection as a somewhat eccentric national treasure with a strong commitment to charitable causes," Britain's Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt told parliament. "Today's reports show that in reality he was a sickening and prolific sexual abuser who repeatedly exploited the trust of a nation for his own vile purposes." In one disclosure, it was reported that Savile, who had publicly spoken of his fascination with the dead, had sexually abused bodies in the mortuary of Leeds General Infirmary in northern England, taking advantage of his role as a volunteer porter.

- Jimmy Savile Hospitals Sex Abuse Report Due Thu, Jun 26, 2014
Reports by 28 hospitals into their involvement with the disgraced entertainer and fundraiser Jimmy Savile will be published this morning. The investigations were announced by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt last year after the hospitals were identified by the Metropolitan Police. It is thought Savile, who died in October 2011, abused hundreds of patients in hospitals, principally at Broadmoor psychiatric hospital in Berkshire, Stoke Mandeville in Buckinghamshire, and Leeds General Infirmary. Only last month the NSPCC said its research showed Savile had abused at least 500 girls and boys, one just two years old, making him one of the UK's most prolific sex offenders. More »
- Mental Health Care Becoming A 'Car Crash' Tue, Jun 24, 2014
One of the country's leading psychiatrists has slammed the state of mental health care in England, warning that a lack of resources was leading the service into a "car crash". Professor Sue Bailey, the outgoing president of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, said the situation represented a "crisis" and that treatment for the mentally ill was simply not a priority for the Government. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt hit back at the claims, saying he was "proud" of his record in this area. "It's a car crash that we are sleepwalking into," Professor Sue Bailey told the BBC. More »
- Nurses' Union Furious as 'Senior NHS Staff Pay Jumps 6.1%' Mon, Jun 16, 2014
The pay bill for senior NHS managers is accelerating ahead of pay for nursing staff, research by the Royal College of Nursing has found. Pay packages for senior NHS managers has accelerated far faster than that of nurses, according to the Royal College of Nursing. The trade union, which received Freedom of Information requests from provider trusts across England, found that the wages of executive directors over the last two years has increased by an average of 6.1%, compared to a 1.6% rise in earnings for nurses, midwives or health visitors. The findings come after the Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, controversially blocked a recommended 1% pay rise for 600,000 nurses and other staff in the NHS. More »
- Missing British Yachtsmen: US Coastguard Resume Search in Atlantic Ocean Tue, May 20, 2014
The US coastguard has said it will resume the search for four British sailors who went missing after their yacht capsized in the Atlantic Ocean. The four crew members of the Cheeki Rafiki - Andrew Bridge, 22, James Male, 23, Steve Warren, 52, and Paul Goslin, 56 – experienced difficulties 620 miles (1,000km) east of Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Families of the missing men, as well the health secretary Jeremy Hunt and nearly 200,000 people who signed an online petition urged the US coastguard to resume the search. Prime Minister David Cameron thanked the US coastguard for resuming the search on Twitter, while Bridge's grandmother Valerie said the family is "delighted" at the news. More »
- Chief Medical Officer Rejects Pro-Homeopathy Studies Submitted by Health Se … Thu, May 8, 2014
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt pushed pro-homeopathy studies on to the chief medical officer and asked her to review the treatment's perceived medical benefits, despite the NHS stand on alternative medicines, which regards many of them unproven. Hunt, who is responsible for running the NHS, is said to have asked Prof Dame Sally Davies to review three studies which examined the possible health benefits of homeopathy. The studies were funded by Laboratoires Boiron, one of the world's largest manufacturers of homeopathic products, such as children's cough medicines and arthritis creams. A guide to homeopathy on the NHS website states there is \"no good-quality evidence\" that homeopathy is effective as a treatment for any health condition. More »
- ADHD 'Not a Real Disease' Says American Neuroscientist Sun, Mar 30, 2014
Leading American neuroscientist Dr Bruce D Perry has claimed that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is not "a real disease". Perry, the senior fellow of the Child Trauma Academy in Houston, Texas, is set to meet work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan Smith and health secretary Jeremy Hunt after arriving in Britain. His comments come after revelations that prescriptions for ADHD methylphenidate drugs, such as Ritalin, used to treat children have increased by 56% between 2007 and 2012, from 420,000 to 657,000. And they would say, 'Oh, you have fever.' They would label it, just like we label it [ADHD] now. More »
- NHS Safety Initiative 'Could Save 6,000 Lives' Wed, Mar 26, 2014
Hospitals will be told to halve incidents of avoidable harm to patients under a tough new safety initiative that could save 6,000 lives over the next three years. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt wants every hospital to join the "Sign Up To Safety" campaign and drive down medication errors, blood clots and bed sores. He told Sky News the ambitious initiative was triggered by the shocking care standards at the Mid-Staffordshire NHS Trust, which resulted in significant harm and extra deaths. "We now have a once in a generation opportunity to save lives and prevent avoidable harm - which will empower staff and save money that can be re-invested in patient care. More »
- Meningitis B Vaccine To Be Free For Babies Fri, Mar 21, 2014
A life-saving vaccine against meningitis B will be made free on the NHS for babies, if a deal can be agreed with manufacturers. After rejecting the Bexsero vaccine last year, the Department of Health's advisory body - the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation (JCVI), says it will adopt the Bexsero vaccine. Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt was sent a letter by clinicians asking him to adopt the vaccine as a way of protecting young children in particular from the disease. And a JCVI statement said it would be introduced "subject to it being made available by the manufacturer at a cost-effective price". More »
- Health Secretary Hunt Picks a Fight With Nurses Over Pay Thu, Mar 13, 2014
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt is giving the impression he is seeking a full-on confrontation with health workers after blocking a recommended 1% pay rise for 600,000 nurses and other staff. His decision to overrule the independent pay review body has come in the same week he pushed a new law through parliament giving himself the power to close down hospitals with no local consultation. Rachel Maskell, of Unite the union which represents 100,000 NHS workers, told the BBC that the pay offer was "the straw that breaks the camel's back - a step too far", coming after a two year freeze. But Hunt took the unusual step of ignoring the advice and insisted if he had followed it, 6,000 nurses would have been lost, and he pointed to the progression pay rises to show staff would be receiving increases anyway.

- Mid Staffs NHS Trust To Be Dissolved, Says Hunt Wed, Feb 26, 2014
Jeremy Hunt announced Stafford and Cannock Chase Hospitals would retain 90% of patient visits but they would now be operated by neighbouring NHS trusts. In a partial victory for campaigners supporting Stafford Hospital, Mr Hunt suggested it could keep its consultant-led maternity service depending on an NHS England review. Up to 1,200 people were found to have died unnecessarily at Stafford Hospital between 2005 and 2008 in one of the biggest NHS scandals. The Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust has been in administration since April and administrators had recommended to Mr Hunt that it was neither clinically nor financially viable. More »
- Mid-Staffs NHS Trust Dissolved: Jeremy Hunt Pulls Plug on Scandal Hospital … Wed, Feb 26, 2014
The troubled hospital trust culpable in the deaths of up to 1,200 patients is to be dissolved, the health secretary has announced. Jeremy Hunt said the management system in charge of Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust, which oversees Stafford and Cannock hospitals, is to be abolished. Thirsty patients at Stafford Hospital were forced to drink from vases, while others were left lying in their own excrement for hours by negligent staff. Blaming "failures of care" for the decision, Hunt said closing down Mid Staffordshire Trust will "secure the safe and high-quality services that the people of Stafford deserve having endured years of uncertainty and failures in care."

- Sir Stuart Rose To Become Top Health Adviser Fri, Feb 14, 2014
Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has recruited Sir Stuart Rose, the former chief executive of Marks & Spencer, to advise the Government on turning around failing hospitals. Sir Stuart will examine how to improve the organisational culture in under-performing hospitals and ways to recruit talent from inside and outside the NHS. A separate review will look at how the NHS can make better use of its existing best leaders which could involve them taking on struggling organisations or establishing national networks of NHS hospitals to improve patient care. Sir Stuart, who left M&S in 2010 and is chairman of Ocado, will focus on the problems facing the 14 NHS trusts currently in special measures. More »
- Smoking In Cars With Children 'Will Be Banned' Tue, Feb 11, 2014
Smoking in cars in which children are travelling will become a criminal offence, but it could be some time before the new law is introduced, Downing Street has said. Campaigners welcomed the move after MPs voted overwhelmingly in favour of introducing the ban, giving Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt the power to create a new law. MPs also voted to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to under-18s, to outlaw the so-called proxy buying of cigarettes by adults on behalf of minors and to allow the Government to introduce plain packaging on tobacco products. Dr Penny Woods, chief executive of the British Lung Foundation , said: "Having campaigned on this issue for many years, we're absolutely delighted that MPs have backed the ban on smoking in cars carrying children.

- Boris Backs Ban On Smoking With Child In Car Mon, Feb 10, 2014
Boris Johnson has joined health experts and medics in urging MPs to vote in favour of banning smoking in cars carrying children, as the Children and Families Bill returns to the Commons today. The Mayor of London appealed to party colleagues to accept that the "bossyboots brigade" he so often rails against were right to want to impose a ban because the practice was so "disgusting" and harmful to health. The Commons is expected to give Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt the power to make it illegal despite the opposition of some MPs including members of the Cabinet. Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Johnson said: "Surely to goodness - you might say - people these days are aware of the problem of passive smoking? More »
- Hunt Payday Delayed As £35m Sale Collapses Tue, Jan 21, 2014
A company takeover that would have netted Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, a £17m jackpot has collapsed after the prospective buyer failed to agree the terms of a deal. Sky News understands that negotiations between Inflexion Private Equity and Hotcourses , a provider of online education listings, broke down in recent weeks. The talks are not expected to be resumed with Inflexion and it is not thought that Hotcourses is in active discussions with another party, although a sale remains on the cards at some point, an insider said. Mr Hunt is understood to own 49% of Hotcourses, meaning that his shareholding would be worth just over £17m if the takeover is completed. More »

- Savile: 19 Hospitals Face Investigation Fri, Nov 29, 2013
A further 19 hospitals are to be investigated in relation to links with Jimmy Savile, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has said. In a written ministerial statement, Mr Hunt said he expected reports to be delivered by next June. The 19 hospitals will be investigated by their relevant health trusts but each investigation will be properly monitored, he said. The total number of hospitals believed to have been visited by the ex-BBC radio and television presenter that are now under investigation is 32. More »
- Stafford: Cover-Up Hospitals Face Penalties Tue, Nov 19, 2013
Hospitals which try to cover up failings that lead to deaths or patients being seriously harmed will have to pay the bill for compensation claims. Under new moves to ensure patient safety, the Health Secretary said that any hospital that failed to be open with a patient about errors or failings could be forced to pay part or all of a compensation claim rather than the tab being picked up by the whole NHS. Hospitals will also have to publish information on how many staff are on their wards on a new safety website from April, however, the Health Secretary did not introduce a minimum staff-patient ratio. Speaking to the House of Commons, Jeremy Hunt said: "Nobody makes these mistakes intentionally but if you cover them up, lessons don't get learnt." More »
- Hunt To Get £17m Payout From Hotcourses Sale Fri, Nov 8, 2013
Jeremy Hunt, the Health Secretary, is in line for a windfall worth more than £15m from a company sale that would propel him to the top of the Cabinet rich list. Sky News can exclusively reveal that Hotcourses, an education listings service set up by Mr Hunt 17 years ago, is in detailed negotiations about being sold to Inflexion Private Equity, an investment firm, for about £35m. Mr Hunt is understood to own 49% of Hotcourses, meaning that his shareholding would be worth just over £17m if the takeover is completed. News of the prospective windfall for Mr Hunt, the MP for South West Surrey, may cause embarrassment for the Government at a time when a debate about the cost of living is dominating Britain's political discourse.

More seriously, I had a friend who had a chemistry set with a few CCs of nitric acid as part of the experiments. I remember my dad first being appalled and then showed us nitrocellulose (Kleenex and nitric acid) and how it was great for magic shows.
It's only fun if you can lose an eye.
It needs not to be with the expectation that everybody will become an app developer.
Learning to code provides a person with an opportunity to develop a better understanding of
1. How a sequence of operations is constructed
2. How logic is part of the decision making process
3. How to approach problems in an organized fashion
4. How to communicate, describe and document ideas
5. How to work with others in a collaborative environment
My business (https://www/mimetics.ca) uses robots to teach programming, but it's important to note that not everyone will become a programmer (or develop applications for robots) but the skills learned by creating simple applications are applicable in life and will help then in a multitude of other pursuits.
Saying that people should learn to code because at some point they will probably will have to program an app is counter-productive and will probably create some very negative perceptions about it. Teaching people (kids) programming as a way to develop the soft skills above and give them a taste of it so they can decide whether or not to pursue it as a career is much more effective and positive.
While reading TFA, my big question was if the Sparc has been improved so much, is Oracle using it in their systems?
According to Wikipedia, Oracle has 122k employees; how many of them are running Sparc systems, how many of their internal servers are Sparcs? For a corporation of this size, I would expect, in three months, for them to consume a lot more than the 7k systems that were shipped in the latest quarter.
When I was at IBM, the company was very proud to be its own best customer; is that true for Oracle?
AND, they are attempting to recover the first stage of the launch vehicle.
If SpaceX pulls this off, it will be a very impressive performance.
I *think* this is the first time ever any space organization has launched and recovered a spacecraft in the same day. Coupled with the operations going on at two different coasts, it's a pretty impressive performance when you think about it.
It certainly demonstrates a lot of depth to the SpaceX organization.
Kudos to Elon Musk, who, as many people have wondered, must either be an alien or a time traveler tasked with putting humanity on the right path for the future.
Thanx for the reply. I guess my experience is coloured by my working with the Win8.1 BT UIs and having to pair devices through the multiple methods which require multiple screens to reach the pairing UIs as well as how the BT APIs change the state of the desktop for the user (I'm still looking for an API that will allow me to do the discovery, pairing and connection without causing the current application to be lost).
If you have some suggestions on where to look for APIs that allow these operations (as well as I suspect other enumeration tasks) from an application without the user having to reset the application and desktop to where it was - I would be eternally grateful.
Seriously. It seems like Microsoft decides what are the systems that users should be working with and runs from there with no regard to what users are actually working with.
The biggest irony is that they don't seem to understand that the people who will have the biggest problem with what they are throwing out are developers. I can't imagine that Microsoft's own developers are running their own development systems on Windows 8.1 - I wouldn't be surprised if it were a dirty secret within Microsoft that application development takes place on Win7 (and maybe WinXP).
I understand the appeal of having one OS and UI for all devices but a Phone isn't a Tablet which isn't a laptop which isn't a desktop which isn't a server. And if you're a developer, requiring a touch screen hurts your productivity.
There are a number of markets/professions where the Google Glass would be ideal (a big one that I keep reading about is aircraft maintenance, have drawings and manuals available on command in front of the technician's eyes).
Rather than trying to come up with something that is designed for everybody on the planet, figure out who could get the most advantage out of it in the short term and, working with that demographic, develop the hardware, the UI and database operation and work with the users to understand exactly the human factors issues. A number of people indicated that the camera was the problem, but I suspect that there are much deeper issues that need to be addressed.
Once you have become indispensable in one area, others applications will start becoming obvious and the product will seem less "creepy" and intrusive for other areas.
Can't watch the free preview in Canada.
I was going to say that I would think that the novel (my favourite Philip K. Dick novel/story) would probably be best suited for 3-4 episodes? Definitely longer than a feature length film but not so long as a typical 13 episode "premium" season.
The setting would be interesting because I always imagined the USA of the book to be worn out and dust blown. Probably as failed a society as "Blade Runner" but not as dense or monolithic. Hopefully a story that reflects that it takes place just a few years after the end of the war and not in a Sci-Fi future.
Anyway, would love to see it with Ridley Scott at the top of his game,
Things will start to get interesting when astronauts can create semiconductors in in space. I believe there are some demonstration technologies using ink-jet printers.
I would imagine it will be a long time before we can see the amazingly tiny devices that can be built on Earth, but I would expect that replacement electronics for communications and actuator drivers should be achievable in fairly short order. I would guess that replacement solar panel segments and power supply components (including batteries) would be on the menu as well.
This week, I got a real WTF when dealing with Microsoft products and the amazing amount of redundancy that is possible in the company.
We have a robot product that we can communicate to using Bluetooth SPP and we are creating an application that can control it remotely. We originally went with a serial interface (after pairing, recording the "com#" of the device and then passing it to our application), this is somewhat cumbersome so we wanted to pair from our app and connect directly (saving the user from doing those operations manually).
Logically, this would be one set of APIs, but it seems there are five depending on the OS - the only ones that are common are for Vista/Win7. I would think that right here there are four teams that are redundant - pick a single, consistent API, add it in Service Packs for all supported OSes and assign one team to the job.
I would expect there are many more examples out there of similar inefficiencies that somebody within Microsoft should be able to answer with the ability to make things easier for developers and make developers available for squishing bugs.
Sorry about the rant, but standard IO interface APIs should be just that, standard.
Thanx for the tip.
I think I'll buy a Corvette that way.

My own opinion is that it is better to have young children come in at the Gospel and be helped to engage in the worship for 45-50 minutes, than to expect them to be able to concentrate for 1.5 or 2 or more hours. As they get older and more engaged then they can come in with their parents earlier. But I would suggest that they not be somewhere else playing until they come in - so that the Liturgy appears boring and annoying, but that their mother or father arrive at Church for that time and they come in and engage in the worship for that time.It is certainly not all children who have this problem. I have had children of 2-4 be relatively quiet throughout the liturgy, and when they reach 7 they have become servers, if boys, and have been given lots to do.As a priest I would much rather a family came relatively late to Church (not through laziness of course, but if they have a child who finds it very hard to concentrate or be still) and then were all able to engage to some degree, rather than that they came very early and spent the whole liturgy unable to concentrate and causing disruption to others. I never expect silence in any case. But quality is better than quantity - in this case. The priest should also pray for all the children and especially those who find quietness difficult.For others there seems to be less excuse not to be in Church early.Father Peter
