Citigroup Cautious on U.S. Economy, Housing
Update 2 includes additional information, management comments throughout.
- Citigroup reports third-quarter profit of 15 cents per share.
- Excluding items, operating profit was at $1.06 per share, beating the consensus estimate of 96 cents.
- Net revenue came in at $19.4 billion, excluding CVA/DVA.
- Estimated Basel III Tier I Capital Ratio improved to 8.6%
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C - Get Report) beat expectations in the third quarter, helped by stronger-than-expected trading revenues, a tax benefit, and a $1.5 billion reserve releases.
But the bank appears cautious on the economy, with management citing concerns about the fiscal cliff and its impact on job growth in a media conference call.
The third largest U.S. bank reported a profit of $468 million for the quarter on sales of $14 billion. The results include a $2.9 billion loss related to a write-down of the bank's 49% stake in Morgan Stanley Smith Barney joint venture and a $776 million accounting loss from the revaluation of the firm's debt(CVA/DVA), partially offset by a tax gain of $582 million.
Excluding these items, Citi reported a third-quarter operating profit of $3.3 billion or $1.06 per share. Adjusted revenues came in at $19.4 billion. Analysts expected an operating profit of 96 cents per share in the third quarter on revenues of $18.707 billion, according to consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters. In the second quarter of 2012, the bank reported an operating profit of $3.1 billion or $1 per share on revenues of $18.8 billion, excluding extraordinary items. And in the year-ago quarter, Citi reported an operating profit of 84 cents on revenues of $18.9 billion, excluding CVA/DVA. "Our core businesses showed momentum during the quarter as we increased lending and generated higher operating revenues," said Citigroup CEO Vikram Pandit. "For the third straight quarter, we had positive operating leverage in each of our three core businesses. Citigroup in total also had positive operating leverage as Citi Holdings had a smaller impact on our overall results." Revenue at Citicorp, excluding CVA/DVA, grew 5% year-on-year to $18.4 billion on strength in trading and investment banking. Operating expenses declined 2%, while credit costs also declined 14%. Excluding items, profits grew 20% to $4.6 billion at Citicorp. The contribution of Citi Holdings, the bank's non-core wing, continued to shrink, representing 5% of revenues excluding the loss on MSSB and CVA/DVA. Citi Holdings now accounts for 9% of total assets at the bank.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Russell Brand and Mr Gee at O2 Academy Brixton

Messiah Complex is a mental disorder where the sufferer thinks they might be the messiah.
Did Jesus have it? What about Che Guevara, Gandhi, Malcolm X and Hitler? All these men have shaped our lives and influenced the way we think.
Would Che Guevara endorse Madonna? Would Jesus be into Christianity (wow man you're blowin my mind!!). Should we even care what they think considering Gandhi slept with naked girls in his bed, Malcolm X dealt drugs and Che Guevara smelt funny?
All great people are flawed, all of us, flawed people are capable of greatness and for every identifiable icon there is an anonymous mob of unrecognised bods doing all the admin and heavy lifting.
This show looks at the importance of heroes in this age of atheistic disposability. Plus there's sex. Obviously.

Involvement:Expert (understands the inner workings) - Ownership:1 day to 1 week
Pros:I used this to attach the Zoom H4N microphone to the top of 5D Mark II. Works as it should.
I can also attach a point and shoot camera on top of the 5D Mark II to do video recording while I shoot photos, very convenience.
A bit heavy. Can scratch the hotshoue mount.
OtherThoughts:In my opinion, the nut could be in plastic to reduce weight and reduce scratches to the hotshoe mount. However, it could be less durable.
Bottomline:I guess the price is a bit expensive for such a simple product. Expected it to be 1-2$

In a 1993 speech, "Microchipped," (included in a book of the same title in 1994), I reported on the first forays into embedding microchips under the skin. The idea was initially marketed as a program to identify pets. Veterinarians and humane societies promoted the devices, which were (and still are) implanted by means of a painless injection under the animal's skin. The pet chips provided only the basics — pet's name, owner's address, vaccination dates, and vet — readable with hand-held scanners. But, I reasoned, if your pet is gone, so is the microchip. So how exactly would "the chip" improve upon a collar or dog tag?

Whatever one's favorite football team, most viewers know that the Washington Redskins name has been the ongoing subject of heated debate for years. The race-baiters and the terminally offended, of course, never give up — especially inasmuch as household-name commentators and journalists are supported by the Left, which has an endless supply of cash and air time at its disposal.

CCS is the last nail in the coffin for anything resembling a "common body of knowledge and experience" as we once understood the term. A common body of knowledge and experience — that is, the values, attitudes and ideals that go with a collage of basic information — is what holds a nation together as a culture. Strip that out, and you have "deculturization."

Voters in four states—Maryland, Maine, Minnesota and Washington—will have same-sex "marriage" on the ballot November 6. In Washington and Maryland, state legislators took it upon themselves, as did other states earlier on, to pass laws expanding "marriage" to include homosexual couples. Now their citizens will decide whether to let the laws stand. Poll-watchers say at least one of the four, Maryland, appears to be a shoo-in, and two more are leaning in the same direction. Some 32 states have rejected the legitimacy of "gay" unions at the ballot-box, but the measure has a habit of reappearing even when voters balk, as in Maine.

Republican nominee Mitt Romney has coined the term "trickle-down government" for audiences, beginning with the first debate. The term aptly describes the Marxist-based logic of the liberal-left: the notion that government must expand so as to impact more activities of everyday life—via programs, regulations, entitlements and mandates. Only then, so the logic goes, will all Americans enjoy a "level playing field."

Republican nominee Mitt Romney earned kudos for repeating the terms "jobs," "Tenth Amendment" (state prerogatives) and "trickle-down government" multiple times in his first round against President Barack Obama on Wednesday, October 3. He smiled in the right places and kept to his themes — to the evident annoyance of his teleprompter-less challenger.

Several news stories the week before Thanksgiving underscored the perception that America's present approach to immigration policy is not working. "There has been no significant movement toward federal immigration reform since a bipartisan effort died in 2007...." Today, immigration is a battleground for legislation at the state level, and is gaining traction as a major issue in the 2012 presidential campaign.
On November 22, Americans learned, for example, that at least 40 percent of human-caused wildfires along the Arizona and Mexico border between 2006 and 2010 were set by illegal "fence-crashers". Worse "of the 422 human-caused fires [during that period], just 77 were investigated, and of those 30 were found to have been ignited by illegal border crosses." The Washington Times article went on to explain that illegal immigration is making firefighters' jobs harder because they are under attack. U.S. firefighters have to worry "about their own safety" and hold back on some methods, such as "firefighting activities at night and … the use of aerial firefighting methods," according to a 60-page report by the Government Accounting Office.

The receipt was on the floor of an Angeli's County Market parking lot, located in the greater Denver area of Colorado. An alert fan of this columnist passed it along. This particular item got the desired attention. It speaks volumes about today's cavalier attitude toward "public assistance," what we used to call simply welfare — not only for the extravagances bought with other people's tax dollars, but for the sheer arrogance of allowing such a blatant illustration of inappropriateness to slip through a customer's fingers: six cold-water lobsters, two porterhouse steaks, and five cases of Mountain Dew, the only purchases on the ticket, are shown paid for in food stamps.
Irrespective of party affiliation, most Americans today simply accept welfare. Many families are so addicted to government handouts, they scarcely are aware how much largesse comes to them from the labor of their fellow citizens. Somewhere along the line, "government money" lost its logical connection to "the people's money."

Every year, educators push harder for a longer school year — and even year-round schooling, not merely "summer school" — as standard operating procedure: Barack Obama's 2010 interview, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's CBS/WBBM interview, best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell's recent book, Outliers, and an assortment of respected studies, most notably from Rand Corporation and Johns Hopkins University, picked up by entities as diverse as The Washington Post, The New York Times, Education Week, Economics of Education Review, and Phi Delta Kappan, are all indicative of a notion whose time has come, across the political spectrum.
Ben Wolfgang's piece in the conservative Washington Times for September 30 (Oct. 3 print edition), is a case in point. His article was based on a report by the National Center on Time and Learning, one among dozens of education advocacy groups favoring the concept.

Part II of this series examined how conservatives lost the "turf wars" and became increasingly marginalized in a leftist game of agenda-driven politics. This final segment will show how "new blood" conservatives are moving past the recriminations. They're working instead to reframe the debate and recast the agenda so that the Left has to regroup.
First, these conservatives have stopped being reactive. The days of the Left continually upping the ante with ever more outrageous acts, and spinning conservatives off in a hundred directions are wearing thin. The conservatives now thinking about throwing their hat in the campaign ring seem to recognize that they have to focus on, at most, three issues—ones most likely to energize the public. Rather than merely condemning the circumstances that brought these crises, they see the necessity of outlining a corrective plan if they expect to compete—and do it in sound bites, if possible.
Take a random topic in the news: Retraining/indoctrinating the military to accept open homosexuality, which began in earnest last March as a prelude to opening the ranks to gays. This outrage followed a reckless vote in the lame-duck session, with the Obama administration rushing to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" before the House Armed Services Committee could hold a hearing to examine the Pentagon's survey and official report on the subject.

In Part I of this series "Conservatives Lose Ground on Social Issues," it was established that the Left is eating conservatives' lunch and throwing back the Leftovers to be picked up in a desperate attempt to sustain public outrage — enough to win at election time. Conservatives have taken the bait for 35 years, and lost ground doing so. Part I ended with the quandary of how to take back the reigns of debate and, with it, the agenda. Which produced a new dilemma: Getting the Left to debate issues on Conservatives' turf.
Many would cite a list of well-known (at least to die-hard conservatives) think tanks and forums: the Heritage Foundation, the Washington Times, the American Conservative Union, the American Enterprise Institute, Hillsdale College, the Weekly Standard, Concerned Women for America, Media Research Center and so on. But if one then were to ask: Suppose one of these organizations decided to host a debate, inviting established speakers and experts from all sides. The topic could be anything: global warming, women alongside males on submarines, gay clubs in schools, displays of Christian crosses on tax-supported properties, Medicare reform, drugging rowdy schoolchildren, private-property rights versus environmentalism, domestic oil drilling, cultural enhancement. What are the chances that any known entity on the liberal side will come to any of these debates at the above institutions?

Conservatives and traditionalists appear to be hopelessly outclassed when it comes to organizing and strategy. How else to explain the lack of bang for the conservative buck, even with umpteen nonprofits, volunteer groups and lobbying organizations devoted to promoting a traditional approach to social issues? Inboxes overflow with "urgent" admonitions to contact members of Congress over one issue after another: the Defense of Marriage Act, gays in the military, women on submarines, pro-homosexual curricula. This past May, it was the politically-correct censorship of six year-olds ("Candy Cane Case") and transgendered classrooms.
The very concept of marriage now appears to be in trouble—a cornerstone of the pro-family, conservative movement—even as celebrities brag on and on about conceiving out of wedlock. Focus on the Family President Jim Daly, in an interview just published in WORLD magazine, allowed that pro-family leaders probably are losing the battle for traditional marriage among younger generations of Americans, "as casual 'hookups' continue to replace the romance of dating". A combination of factors has contributed to this result: teen magazine articles; hypersexual advertising; and age-inappropriate, graphic sex education. The one in four girls reported to have had a sexually transmitted disease (STD) in 2008 hasn't changed much from year to year—a little more among some demographics one year, a little less in others.

Baby Boomers start turning 65 this year. I ought to know; I'm one of them…
Tons of products and thousands of advertisements center on reversing the aging process—especially as it affects physical appearance. But at age 65, many Boomers are more concerned about their country's political clock than they are their biological one.
For the vast majority of us, Woodstock and the ascendency of sex, drugs and rock-n-roll was a "them" phenomenon, not an "us" event. They had "a little help from their friends," charismatic radicals that young firebrands inhabiting the universities on their parents' dime really didn't know all that well. Some of these "friends" turned out to be highly trained Soviet provocateurs–turned-"community organizers," such as Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Herbert Marcuse. Others were simply drug-runners.

Oscars 2013: Is Hollywood ready for gender-neutral awards?
With the 2013 awards season in full swing, Hollywood insiders discuss whether Oscars and other awards should still be separately awarded to actors and actresses.
Gregorio Borgia / AP
Do Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway and Helen Mirren really need a category just for women — a singular kind of affirmative action — to snare one of Hollywood's favorite accessories, an Oscar, Emmy or Screen Actors Guild trophy?
In a society tilting steadily toward gender neutrality, the separate-but-equal awards that divide actors into one camp and actresses into another have the whiff of a moldy anachronism.
True, the Association for Women in Science gives honors to encourage female success in male-dominated fields. But to mark enduring achievements, would its members ever yearn for a Women's Nobel Prize in physics?
In contests of intellect or artistry, should gender ever matter?
"It's not like it's upper body strength," Gloria Steinem dryly observed of the requirements of acting.
The separate labeling of male and female performers is losing favor in the industry. Actresses often swat the distinction away by calling themselves "actors," standing shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts.
Usherettes are long gone from movie theater lobbies, after all. And defense officials said Wednesday the Pentagon will be lifting its ban on women in combat.
SAG, which holds its awards ceremony Sunday, edged toward neutrality with its trophy dubbed the Actor, although the guild gives separate honors to best performance by a male actor and by a female actor.

Looking to buy a grille, chrome, painted (any color), chipped paint, primer, doesn't matter. Only needs to have the mounting tabs in place.
Looking to get one cheap, as in around $50-70 shipped, as I can get a new grille for $80.76 shipped to my door.
I'm in no real hurry, just looking to see if anyone here was looking to unload one.

After listening to this weeks Bombcast I started thinking about where the Fast & Furious franchise could go in the future besides the typical "In Space" setting that most franchises go to die (for those who will say Leprechaun in Space was alright, that movie was terrible). I started thinking what if the Fast and Furious franchise crossed over with the Transformers franchise. What if there was a life or death race in some part of a fast and furious film with Paul Walker's character Brian O'Connor racing to save his girl and bam he hits the nos button and suddenly his car transforms into Hot Rod and smokes the other car with its guns. Dumb movie plus stupid movie has to equal stupidly dumb good movie right? So that's what I'd like to see in a cross over movie, do you folks have any ideas of some film franchises that would actually make sense crossing over or would actually sound pretty cool?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Slave ships were large cargo ships specially converted for the purpose of transporting slaves, especially newly purchased African slaves to the Americas.
Only a few decades after the discovery of America by Europeans, demand for unpaid labor to work plantations made slave-trading a profitable business. The peak time of slave ships to the Atlantic passage was between the 18th and 19th centuries, when large plantations developed in the British colonies of North America.[citation needed]
In order to achieve profit, the owners of the ships divided their hulls into holds with little headroom, so they could transport as many slaves as possible. Unhygienic conditions, dehydration, dysentery and scurvy led to a high mortality rate, on average 15%[1] and up to a third of captives. Often the ships, also known as Guineamen,[2] transported hundreds of slaves, who were chained tightly to plank beds. For example, the slave ship Henrietta Marie carried about 200 slaves on the long Middle Passage. They were confined to cargo holds with each slave chained with little room to move.[3]
The most significant routes of the slave ships led from the north-western and western coasts of Africa to South America and the south-east coast of what is today the United States, and the Caribbean. As many as 20 million Africans were transported by ship.[4] The transportation of slaves from Africa to America was known as the Middle Passage.
The African slave trade was outlawed by the United States of America and the United Kingdom in 1807. The applicable UK act was the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act and outlawed the slave trade throughout the British Empire. The US law took effect on January 1, 1808.[5] After that date all US and British slave ships leaving Africa were legally pirate vessels subject to capture by the United States Navy or Royal Navy.[6] In 1815,[7] at the Council of Vienna, Spain, Portugal, France, and the Netherlands also agreed to abolish their slave trade.
After abolition, slave ships adopted quicker, more maneuverable forms to evade capture by naval warships, one favorite form being the Baltimore Clipper. Some had hulls fitted with Copper sheathing. This was very expensive work that at this time was only commonly done to Royal Navy vessels. However it increased speed by preventing the growth of marine weed on the hull, which would otherwise cause drag.[8] The speed of slave ships made them attractive ships to repurpose for piracy,[9] and also made them attractive for naval use after capture; the USS Nightingale (1851) and HMS Black Joke (1827) were examples of such vessels.
Note: While La Amistad is often called a slave ship, it was in fact a general-purpose cargo ship that occasionally carried slaves. See the article about the ship, and the resulting court case, for more information.

White men overwhelmingly dominated guest appearances on five Sunday morning political talk shows in 2014 - like they did in 2013 - according to a Media Matters analysis.
In early October, the GOP developed a plan to make the federal government's response to Ebola a central part of its midterm elections strategy. Television media played into Republicans' hands, helping to foment panic about the disease. Following the diagnosis of a handful of U.S. Ebola patients, the major broadcast networks ran nearly 1,000 segments about the virus in the four weeks leading up to the elections. Coverage of the disease plummeted in the two weeks following Election Day, with the same networks running fewer than 50 total segments.
Fox News' evening lineup ran nearly 1,100 segments on the Benghazi attacks and their aftermath in the first 20 months following the attacks. Nearly 500 segments focused on a set of Obama administration talking points used in September 2012 interviews; more than 100 linked the attacks to a potential Hillary Clinton 2016 presidential run; and dozens of segments compared the attacks and the administration response to the Watergate or Iran-Contra scandals. The network hosted Republican members of Congress to discuss Benghazi nearly 30 times more frequently than Democrats.
Republicans and conservatives were hosted more often than Democrats and progressives on the four broadcast Sunday morning political talk shows. Fox News Sunday was particularly slanted toward the right while ABC's This Week was the only program to feature as many progressives as conservatives.
White guests greatly outnumbered all other guests on the broadcast and CNN Sunday morning talk shows in 2013. Melissa Harris-Perry continued to be the most ethnically diverse program.
Male guests vastly outnumbered female ones on the Sunday morning broadcast and CNN political talk shows in 2013, according to a Media Matters review. MSNBC's programs gave women a significantly greater opportunity to voice their opinions.
A Media Matters review of the Sunday morning political talk shows finds that white males largely dominated the guest lists in 2013. MSNBC's Melissa Harris-Perry and Up with Steve Kornacki achieved greater ethnic and gender diversity than the broadcast shows or CNN's State of the Union. Overall, conservatives outnumbered progressives on the four broadcast Sunday morning shows.
America's top newspapers focused their coverage of health care reform on its political implications while largely ignoring its real-world impact in the week before the health care exchanges opened. Those papers have since shifted their focus, with most articles highlighting benefits under the law and enrollment in the exchanges in the week after the Obama administration relaunched the Healthcare.gov website.
In their evening coverage of the December 10 Nelson Mandela memorial service, CNN, Fox News, and MSNBC focused a majority of segments on President Obama's handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro and on a "selfie" Obama took with world leaders during the event rather than on the service itself or Mandela's legacy.
Since the show's debut on October 7 and through November 29, Fox News' The Kelly File has hosted conservatives significantly more often than progressives and has surpassed even Fox's Hannity in its divide between guests on the left and right.

The music video for Jessie J's leading single, "Bang Bang," from her forthcoming album Sweet Talker, has officially debuted. Hannah Lux Davis directs the visuals for the track, which features vocals from Ariana Grande and a verse from Nicki Minaj. Set on a helipad at the top of a New York City skyscraper, the trio link up to provide viewers with the experience of being invited to an "exclusive concert." Sweet Talker is out October 14th and "Bang Bang" will also appear as a bonus track on Ariana's soon to be released album, My Everything, out tomorrow, August 25th.
Nicki Minaj stopped by Good Morning America on Friday morning with a special treat for fans. The Young Money gave viewers a quick sneak peak of the video for her new single Pills N Potions. In the preview, a reflective Minaj is seen seated, before The Game makes a cameo, possibly playing her on screen love interest that has Nicki on an emotional spin. The full video for "Pills N Potions" world premieres Monday on Live! with Kelly and Michael. Enjoy.
Nicki Minaj knows celebrities-turned-designers aren't always taken seriously in the fashion world, but she doesn't mind. At a launch event Tuesday for her Kmart Collection, Minaj said skepticism of stars lacking formal design training is "understandable," but she insists it's "not about being a designer. "The "Starships" rapper says her intention is simply to make clothes that she would love to wear. [Watch & Read More]
Drake is back in New York to promote Nothing Was The Same, and hitting his fan markets from the greedy freebians fighting over #NTWS shirts at the Alife store, to the housewives and house-arrest audience of The Ellen Show. And Ellen Degeneres knows exactly how to put "Our Holy Lord of Cableknit" in the hot seat -- bring up old jumpies and platonic girlfriends. Ellen asked Drake about Rihanna, Tyra Banks, and Kat Dennings but then threw in friend-zoner Nicki Minaj, and a total reach, Kim Kardashian. Enjoy.
Is Chris Brown planning to quit music for good? The R&B singer caused quite the stir this week after a series of tweets appeared on his Twitter page, suggesting he may retire from the music industry. The tweets have since been deleted, but several media outlets posted them before they "mysteriously" disappeared from Brown's Twitter page. "Don't worry mainstream America. After this X album, it'll probably be my last album," one tweet revealed, as seen here. Another one noted, "Being famous is amazing when it's for ur music and talent," he continued. "I'm tired of being famous for a mistake I made when i was 18. I'm cool & over it!" [Read More]
Nelly heats up on screens in his new video, "Get Like Me." The visual in support of his lead single is a black-and-white affair as Nicki Minaj and Pharrell co-star in the Colin Tilley-directed clip. As with all of Nicki Minaj's video appearances this summer, the Queen Barbie sizzles as she shows off her trademark voluptuous curves. Due later this year, Nelly's M.O. LP will feature appearances from 2 Chainz, Nelly Furtado, Future, T.I., Trey Songz, and more. Enjoy.
Mario and Nicki Minaj's hit single "Somebody Else" has here been awarded the visual treatment. The collaborative track is a very clear nod to the title, dealing with being left for someone else. The coinciding clip then features each artist performing his and her respective parts. To check it out now and purchase the single on iTunes now. Enjoy.
A lot of work went into the music video for Ciara's collaboration with Nicki Minaj, I'm Out, and in an exclusive new video, fans get to see it all. The choreographer, Jamaica Craft, explains her vision for the video. "We went more old-school Hollywood musical. We were very inspired from actual glam Hollywood musical into Bollywood musicals, as well, and then mixed it with some strong videos from the '90s." Although she wouldn't specify which vintage videos exactly, Michael and Janet Jackson's "Scream" is an obvious inspiration for Ciara's "I'm Out." To listen to her upcoming album Ciara before its July 9th release, check out the free stream on iTunes. Enjoy.
In the visuals to "Tapout," Young Money recruits — Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne & Mack Maine — are joined by Birdman under the new alias, Rich Gang, while Future takes care of the chorus. Here, the hip-hop super group flaunts their riches in a glamorous estate, while the likes of Christina Milian, Kimora Lee and Paris Hilton playing prominent cameo roles in this heist-filled storyboard. Rich Gang's first studio album Flashy Lifestyle is due to drop June 25th and will feature artists from both Cash Money Records and Young Money Entertainment. Watch the clip above to see how the narrative plays out.
Ciara brings her personal love life to the big screen in her upcoming Body Party video. The R&B singer gives us a sneak peek with a 33-second teaser, where she attends a house party with friends in Atlanta. In an all-black relaxed outfit, CiCi and her girlfriends show off their dance moves as real-life boyfriend Future watches from a distance. Expect cameos from Ludacris, Mike Will Made It, Jazze Pha, and Trinidad James in her new visual as it'll world premiere on Monday, April 22nd on BET's 106 & Park. Ciara's self-titled album is due July 9th with appearances from Nicki Minaj and Future.

The malfunctioned dualistic political system in the USA is at its pinnacle. Any even trivial life's problems carry more than two solutions. Two opinions is a bare minimum for democracy. Tell me what options speaker Boehner really has under the dualistic system, just to provide his opposite alternative and disagree; the black and white game. Agreeing would make him politically insignificant weakling and that applies for the President as well.
The other side would however willingly agree in a coalition with a third or a fourth party proposed alternative. Unfortunately these are not available. A long lasting indoctrination that there are only two solutions to a problem is deeply installed.
I wish I didn't agree with you but I do. To my mind the United States is controlled more by the aristocracy now than it was in 1776. I am also of the opinion that it is the descendants of the Jeffersonian Democratic Republicans who are most responsible for this dynamic. It makes me feel deeply ashamed and angry that more than a million Americans died, some of whom were my direct ancestors, only for their hard-won democratic rights to be sold to the highest bidder.
If you really want to have a look at what's been going on, the Center For Responsive Politics runs a website called opensecrets.org. There you can view every piece of legislation considered by Congress since 1998. You can also see which firms lobbied on which issues and make your own mind up about what the $32 billion they spent from 1998-sept 2011 actually bought them.
People elect a government after inhaling tons and tons of media exhaust.Then they branch away& look at the govt.as entertainer only!
Actually the sequester is not the most damaging way to cut the deficit. The most damaging is to keep postponing doing anything it. Washington has been like a person who needs surgery, but is too terrified to schedule it. At least now the government is on the gurney to the operating room, albeit kicking and screaming.
I am glad that Economist acknowledged that "Spending Cuts Hurt the Economy".
For a mag that leans Conservative- that's "progress".
I don't know about free of charge - but costs of a more stripped down University, focused solely on classroom education, would certainly be much more reasonable.
Western Europe is a good place to look - Universities there are pretty much what we envision - buildings with classrooms, professors, a few offices, and not much else. Cost is free or close to free - government subsidies make them free, but without subsidies, the costs would still be much more reasonable than in the U.S. "club-med" University model.
Yes, and the economy grows over time as well. This is why we use measures like debt/GDP or spending as % of GDP.. which as I mentioned in the other posts is decreasing, and is only at the levels it is at because of AUTOMATIC spending as a response to the largest financial crisis since the great depression.
The average since WW2 is about 20%/GDP, not to mention WW2 where it was in the 40's. 20% is right where it was in 2007/2008. Now what could have POSSIBLY caused government spending to go up around 2009?? Hmmmmmmmm...... it must be that "kenyan socialist" in the white house, couldn't have anything to do with that enormous financial crisis that triggers automatic spending increases in the form of unemployment benefits, food stamps, etc. Spending increases which - when/if the economy recovers - will be reversed.
To say that nominal government spending has gone up over time is about as helpful as mentioning that the price of an automobile or ketchup has increased over time.
I feel that we are lacking a "big picture" plan for the country.
At the moment we are transfixed on things that SEEM to matter: debt/deficit and spending/taxes. But we don't really have a grand plan, do we? Looking at everything that has been proposed, even Simpson-Bowles, I haven't seen anything that will address the key problem: a sluggish economy. If we can put the economy back on solid footing, many of our tax/spending, debt reduction problems will be far easier to handle.
Why can't legislation be enacted that allows pump-priming (debt to GDP ratio caused by WW II went over 100%, and that fixed the Great Depression) with a promise of debt reduction when the condition is right, such as setting an unemployment target, when reduction kicks in. In other words, why can't we do sequestration/debt reduction based on economic targets, not calendar deadlines? This seems far more sensible to me.
After watching Mrs. Obama insert herself and her military escort into the most popular of cultural events (the Oscars) we can now be certain we can cut future growth by 2% without cutting military readiness.
Yes, and that is in response to the worst economic crisis since the 30's.
Again, you've just thrown out a number.. you haven't presented a problem yet. Because there isn't one.
Most Americans are not freaked by The Sequester. For a half-decade, we've seen worse. The military needs right-sizing, as do the regions around D.C. What - they'll have fewer madams? Thinking people are accustomed to Obama's management by made-for-media crises. But thank goodness, the WH is doing its part to cut down by cancelling tours. But not cancelling any of the chief's resident's golf games or political travel.
I will have to disagree on outcomes. Most of the statistics you see quoted are misleading in that they incorporate such things as infant morality and death from homocide which are higher in the US for many reasons. Infant mortality is higher because we count still born children as live births and other countries do not. Also, we have a MUCH higher teenage birth rate than most of the world. Teenagers have higher infant mortality overall. Also, we have MANY more murders in this country.
However, if you look at outcomes for chronic illness like cancer and diabetes (in other words, cases where medical treatment have direct effect), the US is better.
Companies need to make money to survive. But right now there is little incentive for the payer (being Government or private companies) to reduce costs as long as they can stick it to the rate payer (citizens or clients) with little if any push back. People complain, but keep on paying and many feel they have no choice (and probably don't).
If Medicare and Medicaide were such good deals to the Doctors, they would not take private patients. Instead they limit medicare patients, which tells me that they find them less profitable, and from what I hear from them, actually money losers.
WELL SAID...Much ado about nothing. Obama has direct control over what services are cut, if any. Its time he manned up and at least acted like a leader. So far all he has been doing is campaigning for the Democrats to take over Congress in 2014 and blaming everyone else for his failures.
I wish for just once he would get off the perpetual campaign and actually lead. Maybe then we would get something done. Both the Democrats and Republicans are running around like chickens with their heads cut off rather than sitting down and even attempting to negotiate.
What a sad state of affairs we have.
If it were any privately run enterprise, it would first review all of the activities it was supporting. It would then cancel those that were of lower priority and ask the employees to search for jobs elsewhere in the organization. It would also ask all managers to review their reports and identify those who were "on probation" for not meeting job expectations. They would be terminated. Job openings would be available to those who had programs cancelled. Any employees who were unable to be placed after a month would be laid off.
A surgical knife that leaves the body functioning is better than a thousand pinpricks over the whole body. Most private organizations argue that the process leaves the organization healthier and better functioning than before. It requires, however, a belief that the organization exists for a purpose other than providing employment. That belief seems to be absent in government organizations.
"If you wanted to cut the deficit in the most damaging way, you'd choose the sequester."
But the only people who would want that would be those opposed to all cuts. By presenting the worst possible alternative, they have the best chance of continued unchecked spending. It's not so irrational after all.
Outcomes are not as good, thats the problem. Our healthcare system is ranked in the 30's in terms of quality out of all countries, but it is number one in cost. I'm not here to debate this with you, these are the facts. I work with health insurance every single day and medicare is BY FAR the easiest to deal with (along w medicaid). There are no authorizations, no approvals, no physician consultations, no paperwork to deal with, there arent a thousand different convoluted plan types. I suspect you really have no first hand experience with this because everyone in the industry up and down (doctors, providers, etc) will tell u how awful it is. You're exactly right, it is the third party intermediaries that make our system so bad, a.k.a the enormous profit seeking private insurers.
What a joke. Not one of the examples listed as a source for growth is valid. The housing market is improving? Look at the figures, prices have gone up because the number of foreclosed properties has gone down. Private equity, banks and investors have been buying homes by the thousands with the hope of selling them in 4-5 years. However the most important indicator, first time buyers, has continued to fall year after year.
The "wealth effect". Another crock of ... baloney. The Fed and your governments have been spreading this yarn for years. If the wealth effect is so strong, why is unemployment/underemployment so high? The middle class is not enjoying a wealth effect. They are struggling with day to day expenses. The only people enjoying a wealth effect are the welathy.
If the goal is to lower debt:
Cut spending gradually. Let's not mimic England (and others)
Go after off-shore tax havens. Let's not just cut food stamps and education programs.
Maybe they're too darned cold?

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – A reward is being offered to help authorities find the individual or individuals responsible for placing spiked rebar on and near forest roads in the Happy Jack area.
The rebar slashed or punctured at least eight vehicle tires over the weekend of July 12.
The incident occurred close to the intersection of state Highway 87 and Lake Mary Road.
Mogollon Rim District Ranger Linda Wadleigh said that the end of the rebar had been sharpened to a point and painted to blend in with the surface of the road.
Sharpened rebar has been found in areas that are frequented by off-highway vehicles (OHV).
The U.S. Forest Service will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact the U.S. Forest Service Law Enforcement and Investigations Office at 928-527-3511.

Common Core | News
On May 30, Republican Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina signed a bill that requires the state to drop the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) as of the 2015-2016 school year. South Carolina joins Indiana as states that have eliminated CCSS.
CCSS will stay in place in South Carolina for the 2014-2015 school year. The bill charges the South Carolina Department of Education with developing new standards, which the state school board and the Education Oversight Committee must approve. Any new standards not developed by the state education department would need the approval of a joint resolution of the legislature.
The new law also prohibits the state from administering CCSS assessments being developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium.
Meanwhile, in North Carolina, legislation that would move the Tar Heel State's public schools away from CCSS is moving through both chambers of the General Assembly.
Last week, the House approved a proposal to dismantle CCSS and direct the State Board of Education to devise new standards with help from a new commission. A similar bill has cleared the Senate's education committee.
The current bills stipulate that, as in South Carolina, CCSS would continue to be used until replaced by the Board of Education.

Hear the Sugar Stems' Irrepressible Power-Pop Cut '6 Feet Under'
Milwaukee outfit's second LP, 'Can't Wait,' comes April 9
The Sugar Stems' power-pop is so undeniably sticky that the Milwaukee foursome can even make a song titled "6 Feet Under" feel like a victory lap. Never mind that frontwoman Betsy Heibler sings about getting nauseous from too much cotton candy or that she repeatedly warns, "Don't hold your breath / You might not get what you want" — this crew's jangly, Golden Retriever-like melodies are immune to even the bleakest brand of cynicism. Their sophomore album, Can't Wait, arrives April 9 via Dirtnap Records.

About FDA
<< Return to FY 2006 Budget Summary
[1] A Humanitarian Use Device (HUD) designation from OPD is required for a device sponsor prior to applying for a HUD designation from FDA. An Humanitarian Device Exemption (HDE) for a specific device allows the sponsor to bring the device to market for a very small population (usually less than 4,000 people in the U.S.) after demonstrating the safety and probable benefit of the device. The sponsor is exempt from meeting other requirements of the Safe Medical Devices Act.
- CVM has implemented a user fee program in FY 2004. Outputs are not expected to increase substantially until new reviewers are hired and fully trained. Performance estimates are dependent upon a sustained level of base and user fee resources. The FY 2005-2006 estimates do not include invited labeling change supplement applications because it is not possible to accurately project sponsor or CVM requests for this type of application.
[2] Includes originals and reactivations. If the application is not approvable, the sponsor may submit additional information until the Agency is able to approve the application.
[3] Reflects submissions (received during the fiscal year) which still require review.
[4] A supplemental application is a sponsor request to change the conditions of the existing approval. They can be significant (a new species or indication), or routine (product manufacturing changes).
[5] An INAD or JINAD file is established at the request of the sponsor to archive all sponsor submissions for a phased drug review including: request for interstate shipment of an unapproved drug for study, protocols, technical sections, data sets, meeting requests, memos of conference and other information.
[6] Non-drug substances added to animal feed are considered Food Additive Petitions and require review and approval.

Kennedy said he found substance in the point that sociological information about the impact of same-sex marriage is still new. "We have five years of information [about same-sex marriage] to weigh against 2,000 years of history or more [concerning traditional marriage]," he said.
But Kennedy wasn't finished making his point. He said that on the other hand, children being raised by gay and lesbian parents in California want their parents to have full recognition and full status. They want it now.
"The voice of those children is important in this case, don't you think," Kennedy asked Cooper.
Courthouse scenes
Although they could not be heard inside the courtroom, a large crowd of gay rights supporters gathered on the sidewalk in front of the Supreme Court, chanting and waiving signs.
Earlier, hundreds waited in line in 30-degree weather hoping for a seat in the courtroom. Some had been waiting since Thursday, camping outside the courthouse through snow and freezing rain over the weekend.
Inside, the courtroom was warm – and packed. Among notable attendees was Hollywood director and producer Rob Reiner, who was instrumental in organizing the legal talent and raising money to fund the Prop. 8 legal challenge.
Prior to the argument, Olson crossed the courtroom to greet Mr. Reiner and his entourage. He hugged each member and then after hugging Reiner, kissed him on the cheek.
Olson is best known as the Republican lawyer who argued and won Bush v. Gore. He later served as President Bush's solicitor general. Joining Olson at counsel's table was his opponent in Bush v. Gore, legendary New York litigator David Boies.
Olson vs. Scalia
If Olson's presence at the podium was meant to appeal to the more conservative members of the court, that tactic does not seem to have paid off.

Very nice. And you've probably answered this before but I have no idea, is there a particular reason that you always work within circles? You know, beyond just really liking circles.
Hector, I began using circles being inspired by mandalas and when it comes to digital art, there's no shape I rather fill :)

Grilled Rib-Eye Steaks with Roasted Rosemary Potatoes
From Food & Wine
The rib-eyes shine in this recipe but it's the potatoes that take center stage. First parboiled, then roasted with rosemary and olive oil, they become crispy on the outside while staying light, fluffy, and buttery inside.

Prep Time: 20 min
Oven Temp: 400
U.S. | Metric | Conversion chart |
- 3 pound(s) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- Salt
- 10 (1-inch) rosemary sprigs
- 1/3 cup(s) extra-virgin olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 (1-pound) boneless rib-eye steaks
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water. Add a large pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Simmer over moderately high heat until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain.
- Return the potatoes to the saucepan and shake over moderately high heat until the potatoes are dry, 10 seconds. Spread the potatoes and rosemary sprigs on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat. Roast for 45 minutes, stirring a few times, until the potatoes are sizzling and starting to brown. Tilt the baking sheet and pour off any excess oil. Roast the potatoes for 15 minutes longer, until browned and crisp.
- Meanwhile, light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Season the steaks with salt and black pepper and grill over high heat, turning once, until well-browned and medium-rare, 8 minutes. Transfer the steaks to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Carve the steaks into thick slices and serve with the potatoes.
