When you cut on your finger or scrape your knee, cells rush to the wound and repair or replace the damaged tissue. But how exactly this works – in particular how certain cells become "leaders" in the process – has long been a mystery. Now researchers at the University of Arizona (UA) have identified the mechanisms that cause and regulate this collective cell migration. Armed with this knowledge, biomedical engineers will be able to design new tissue regeneration treatments for diabetes and heart disease as well as for slowing or stopping the spread of cancer.

Astronomers have discovered a distant, massive and ancient black hole that calls into question current models for the early expansion of the universe. A team of scientists from China and Arizona spotted the brightest quasar from the early universe, named SDSS J0100+2802, centered on a black hole 12.8 billion light years away and as bright as 420 trillion suns.

Slated for completion by 2020, the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT) will combine seven of the largest and most precisely built telescope mirrors, to offer image resolutions 10 times greater than Hubble at around one third of the cost. The telescope will be used to study the early universe and answer open questions on dark matter, supermassive black holes, and the nature of planets beyond our solar system. Read More
Whether sulfur is a by-product or a waste product of oil refinement and coal combustion depends on how you slice it. Certainly, some of that sulfur can be put to use producing sulfuric acid, fertilizer and other chemicals, but much of it is accumulating into stockpiles that are expensive to maintain (due to the need to neutralize acidic run-off). Researchers at the University of Arizona think more of that sulfur could be put to use thanks to a new chemical process that uses sulfur to make plastics that may one day be used to make a new generation of lighter, more efficient lithium-sulfur batteries.

It is dangerous to bet against Einstein. Cosmological research shows that the rate at which the Universe expands is increasing, rather than decreasing as was previously thought. The concept of "dark energy" with a negative pressure was introduced to describe this acceleration. Now measurements of the proton to electron mass ratio (PEMR) over the past seven billion years strongly suggest that the models of dark energy are far more contrived in explaining accelerating expansion than is Einstein's self-proclaimed "biggest blunder" – the cosmological constant.

A University of Arizona professor has invented a theoretically infinite pipe that promises to bring down the costs of laying pipelines while reducing environmental damage. Developed by Mo Ehsani, Professor Emeritus of Civil Engineering at the University of Arizona, the new pipe, called InfinitiPipe, is of a lightweight plastic aerospace honeycomb under layers of resin-saturated carbon fiber fabric put together by a new fabricating process that allows pipes to be built in indefinite lengths on site.

Cozy cabin for a small family
This was a wonderful cabin for my family. We loved having a fire in the Franklin Stove and took a nice hike along the river. Everything was in the house that we needed! I would highly recommend this for people who want to be a little out of the way and surrounded by woods. The only noise from outside is the gurgle of the river. Very easy reservation/ checkin process with the owner. We would stay here again!

Stopping HRT
MardaJanuary 18, 2003
I have a question for those of you were on HRT and quit. I took them for 10 years and stopped cold turkey with no problems. A friend of mine did the same thing and is having really bad hot flashes. My question is this. I know you can get off hormones by just tapering off and often times this reduces the severity of hot flashes but for those of you who did it this way...did you just take fewer hormones,or did you have to get a perscription for a weaker dosage and do it that way. Thanks for any info you can give me.

Ukrainian troops have launched their first assault against pro-Russian gunmen in the east of the country. Authorities in Kyiv describe it as an "anti-terror" operation. The White House has praised Ukraine for saying it will take a measured approach, but Russia labeled the action "unconstitutional." Henry Ridgwell reports from the city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine.

VOA News
April 15, 2014 2:51 PM
Ukrainian airborne troops landed in a town in the east of the country on Tuesday apparently at the start of an "anti-terrorist operation" to root out pro-Russian separatists - but they pulled back into base after meeting a hostile reception from local civilians.
The town of Kramatorsk is one of 10 localities in Ukraine's Russian-speaking east where separatist rebellions have broken out. The move suggested Ukraine's authorities were going ahead with a plan for a military crackdown to end the unrest which began 10 days ago.
Separately, the state security service announced a similar operation was under way in the town of Slovyansk, about 20 km (13 miles) from Kramatorsk, where pro-Russia militants are occupying state buildings to push their demands for referendums on the status of Ukraine's eastern regions.
Exercising restraint
Despite warnings issued on Sunday by Ukraine's acting President Oleksandr Turchynov of a "full-scale operation" against separatists, the offensive by Ukrainian forces is seen as moderate. Even Turchynov himself toned down his rhetoric.
Some observers say Kyiv is exercising restraint in anticipation of four-way talks on the crisis to be held on Thursday in Geneva.
Aside from Ukraine and Russia, the meeting will include representatives from the U.S. and EU.
Moscow has called on Kyiv not to use force against the separatists in the run-up to the talks.
The standoff has raised fears in the West and in Kyiv that Russia might intervene militarily to "protect" Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine, following its annexation of Crimea last month in response to the overthrow of Moscow-backed president Viktor Yanukovych, following months of protests.
US reaction
The White House said on Tuesday Ukraine's actions against pro-Russian militiamen in the country's eastern region are called for because of the threat to law and order in the country.
"The Ukrainian government has the responsibility to provide law and order and these provocations in eastern Ukraine are creating a situation in which the government has to respond,'' White House spokesman Jay Carney said at a briefing.
The United States is "seriously considering'' new sanctions against Russia, but is not considering providing lethal aid to Ukraine, he said.
Separately, the U.S. State Department said on Tuesday it anticipates more Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia but suggested no action was likely before four-way talks in Geneva this Thursday.
No UN peacekeepers
Meanwhile, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon was quoted as saying on Tuesday that now was not the right moment for any United Nations peacekeeping troops to be sent to Ukraine.
"At this moment, it doesn't seem very practical to send troops," Ban during a visit to Mexico told newspaper Reforma, according to the Spanish text of an interview.
Ban said that any decision to send peacekeeping troops to Ukraine would need to be agreed by the U.N. Security Council, of which Russia is a permanent member.
"Unless we have a clear mandate and authorization from the Security Council, I can't take any action," Ban said.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Kremlin said Russian President Vladimir Putin told Ban that the United Nations and the international community should condemn the use of force by Ukrainian authorities in eastern Ukraine.
UN report
A United Nations report on Tuesday disputed Moscow's claims that Russian-speakers in eastern Ukraine were seriously threatened, including those in Crimea which Russia annexed last month following a referendum the West considered staged.
"Although there were some attacks against the ethnic Russian community, these were neither systematic nor widespread," said the report by the U.N. human rights office.
Russia called the report one-sided, politicized and apparently fabricated.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen accused Moscow of involvement in the rebellions. "It is very clear that Russia's hand is deeply engaged in this," he told reporters.
Russia's stance
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov denied that Moscow was stirring up the separatists in the east and southeast as a possible prelude to repeating steps taken in Crimea.
"Ukraine is spreading lies that Russia is behind the actions in the southeast," Lavrov said on a visit to China.
Moscow has demanded constitutional change in Ukraine to give more powers to Russian-speaking areas, where most of the country's heavy industry lies, while the rebels have demanded Crimean-style referendums on secession in their regions.
Kyiv opposes anything that might lead to the dismemberment of the country. But in an attempt to undercut the rebels' demands, Turchynov has held out the prospect of a nationwide referendum on the future shape of the Ukrainian state.
Reverse flows
The crisis has also prompted fears that Moscow might turn off gas supplies to Kyiv, disrupting flows to the European Union.
Russian exporter Gazprom promised it would remain a reliable supplier to the EU, but German energy company RWE began deliveries to Ukraine on Tuesday - reversing the usual east-west flow in one central European pipeline.
Central Europe's pipeline network is designed to carry Russian gas westwards. But Polish operator Gaz-System said it had reversed the flow to send back 4 million cubic meters per day, the equivalent of 1.5 billion annually - a modest volume compared with Ukraine's need for more than 50 billion.
Moscow has nearly doubled the price it charges Kyiv this year, and President Putin has threatened to halt supplies if Kyiv does not repay more than $2 billion it owes to Gazprom.
Putin also has warned EU leaders that this could disrupt their supplies that flow across Ukraine.
Ukrainian state energy company Naftogaz said it was ready to pay in full for imported gas from Russia at $268.5 per 1,000 cubic meters, rather than the $485 Moscow has demanded, which is more than it charges rich Western countries for its gas.

Klitschko urges action
Opposition leader Vitaly Klitschko, who helped lead the protests that drove pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych from office, urged Turchynov to send Ukrainian armed forces to the region to drive out the separatists.
"Infiltrators and hired people are not the people of Ukraine. Our dialogue with them must be short," he insisted. "That's what people in Donbas, Lugansk, Kharkiv, who ask about protection, are expecting from us. People, who came to the parliament today and are standing there right now, demand mobilization to protect their state.''
Moscow denies involvement
Moscow denies claims of Russian agents' involvement in the protests as "speculations based on unreliable information.'' Putin said the protests vented public anger about the Ukrainian government's reluctance to recognize the interests of Russian speakers in the east.
Moscow accuses Kyiv of provoking the crisis by ignoring the rights of citizens who use Russian as their first language, and has promised to protect them from attack. It also has highlighted the presence of far-right nationalists among Kyiv's new rulers.
Lavrov had said Moscow will withdraw from an emergency international summit scheduled for Thursday in Geneva if Kyiv uses force in eastern Ukraine.
"Ukraine is spreading lies that Russia is behind the actions in the southeast. This is a total lie that supposes that those residents there are completely incapable of protesting of their own will,'' Lavrov said on a visit to China.
Lavrov called on Kyiv to hold back before a meeting between Russia, the European Union, the United States, and Ukraine planned for Geneva on Thursday. "You can't send in tanks and at the same time hold talks,'' he said. "The use of force would sabotage the opportunity offered by the four-party negotiations in Geneva.''
Moscow says it wants constitutional change in Ukraine to give more powers to Russian-speaking areas, where most of the country's heavy industry lies, while the secessionists have demanded Crimean-style referendums in their regions.
Kyiv opposes anything that might lead to the dismemberment of the country. But in an attempt to undercut the rebels' demands, Turchynov has held out the prospect of a nationwide referendum on the future shape of the Ukrainian state.
Lavrov said Kyiv's apparent willingness to "resolve through negotiations all the problems relating to the legal demands of the inhabitants of the south-east regions of Ukraine, is certainly a step in the right direction, albeit very belated''.
NATO chief, Britain's Hague accuse Russia
Russia is deeply involved in the crisis in eastern Ukraine where pro-Moscow separatists have seized control of a number of government buildings, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Tuesday.
The frank remarks from the head of the western military alliance underline rising tensions with Moscow, which says it is not involved in the armed pro-Russian protests in eastern Ukraine. Asked if he had seen evidence of Russian involvement in events in eastern Ukraine, Rasmussen told reporters: "We never... comment on intelligence, but I think from what is visible, it is very clear that Russia's hand is deeply engaged in this." Relations between NATO and Russia have turned icy since Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimea region last month.
NATO, accusing Russia of massing forces on Ukraine's border, also has suspended cooperation with Moscow. Rasmussen, in Luxembourg for talks with European Union defense ministers, called on Russia to "de-escalate the crisis,to pull back its troops from Ukraine's borders, to stop destabilizing the situation in Ukraine and make clear that it doesn't support the violent actions of pro-Russian separatists. Russia should stop being part of the problem and start being part of the solution."
Rasmussen said NATO was not discussing any military involvement in non-NATO member Ukraine and was focusing on strengthening the defenses of eastern European allies nervous about Russia's intentions. NATO ambassadors are expected on Wednesday to discuss options put forward by military planners for reinforcing the defenses of eastern allies through exercises and temporary deployments of planes and ships sent by other allies. In his talks with EU defense ministers, Rasmussen said he would call for stronger cooperation between NATO and the EU, proposing that the military rapid reaction forces that both organizations maintain should train and exercise together more often.
Meanwhile, British Foreign Secretary William Hague will say on Tuesday in a speech in London that Russia has deliberately pushed Ukraine "to the brink" in recent days and increased the risk of violent confrontation there.
Hague's comments were released in advance by his office: "In recent days Russia has deliberately pushed Ukraine to the brink, and created a still greater risk of violent confrontation."
UN Human Rights report
However, a United Nations report on Tuesday cast doubt on whether Russian-speakers were seriously threatened, including those in Crimea who voted to join Russia after Moscow forces had already seized control of the Black Sea peninsula.
"Although there were some attacks against the ethnic Russian community, these were neither systematic nor widespread,'' a report by the U.N. human rights office said.
The report, issued after two visits to Ukraine last month by Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Simonovic, cited "misinformed reports'' and "greatly exaggerated stories of harassment of ethnic Russians by Ukrainian nationalist extremists''.
These, it said, "had been systematically used to create a climate of fear and insecurity that reflected on support to integration of Crimea into the Russian Federation.''
Obama, Putin
phone call
U.S. President Barack Obama warned Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call Monday that Moscow will face further costs if its actions in Ukraine persist. He also urged the Russian leader to use his influence to persuade the demonstrators to leave the buildings they have seized.
"The president emphasized that all irregular forces in the country need to lay down their arms, and he urged President Putin to use his influence with these armed, pro-Russian groups to convince them to depart the buildings they have seized," the White House said in a statement.
Emergency talks planned
Top diplomats from Russia, the United States, Ukraine and the European Union are to hold emergency talks on the crisis April 17 in Geneva. White House officials say U.S. Vice President Joe Biden will travel to Kyiv April 22.
Meanwhile, U.S. officials signed a $1 billion loan guarantee to Ukraine. U.S. Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said the agreement demonstrates the United States' unwavering commitment to a stable Ukraine. Ukrainian Finance Minister Oleksandr Shlapak said his country is wrapping up talks with the IMF on a comprehensive economic reform program.

I think agreeing with the decision to crackdown on these protests is an agreement in error - to create another Syria in Ukraine. While the US and EU recognize the right of people to protest - one of which drove Viktor Yanukovych from power (then it looked good because it was in their favor) - other such protests are termed terrorism. Haba USA! My disappointment is that China has failed to give support to Russia in countering the West's dominance of world politics. A situation where everything is right only because they are pro-West and everything is wrong because they are pro-Russia does not augur well for world peace and harmony.
So far Russia has proved to be the only voice to save the world from this colonization even though some of so-called American allies in NATO and EU recognize the trouble they have launched themselves into by entering agreements in which they have no way of influencing the outcome, just as they do not know what they want with Ukraine where USA is busy brewing disintegration. Any attempt to crackdown on the protests in eastern Ukraine is an open invitation to a Syrian-type disturbance or civil war. It's up to the stooges calling the shots at Kiev to decide to accept a civil war or return the country to peace by following the path of reconciliation. Do not say nobody told you.

Double Standards!!!
US and EU were strongly against using force against Maidan "peaceful protestors" who decorated themselves with swastika, used guns and Molotovs cocktails, occupied government buildings and put police officers on fire. Radical groups violently took over democratically elected government in a coup.
US and EU strongly support using force against pro Russia protestors in the Eastern Ukraine. Now US media calls them "terrorists". Double standards!
Why would Ukrainian listen to a coup illegal unconstitutional government who used extremists, nationalists, and Nazii to come to power?
People in Eastern Ukraine stand up to a coup government they did not elect. They want democracy and a chance to vote.

Russia sends in FSB agents to shoot people in the central square in Kiev and accuses the opposition of violence after Russian agents kill more than 100 people.
Russia creates a "referendum" on Crimea with trick choices in which nobody can vote to stay part of Ukraine while sending in Russian army troops without insigia to assure that the "referendum" voters only vote for Russia.the border
Russia promises that it will not try to take further territory from Ukraine while again sending in well armed FSB agents and Russian army units just over the border, shooting their way into police stations and seizing weapons and then protests loudly when the Ukraine government moves to restore order to police stations and government building while Russia is saying the recovery operation is "violence".

At this year's annual South by Southwest film and music festival in Austin, Texas, some musicians from Mali were on hand to promote a film about how their lives were upturned by jihadists who destroyed ancient treasures in the city of Timbuktu and prohibited anyone from playing music under threat of death. As VOA's Greg Flakus reports from Austin, some are afraid to return to their hometowns even though the jihadists are no longer in control there.

Fuzz removal
reneophyteJanuary 17, 2011
I'm renovating a 1964 chalet, and about to start flooring. Most of the existing flooring was either rolled linoleum or carpet. The linoleum came up easily with a scraper. For the most part the carpet did also, except in what looks like high-traffic areas. As a result I have a few areas of blotchy fuzz on the plywood subfloor.
I would like to install 3/4" pre-finished hardwood in this area. Does anyone have any tips for removing the fuzz to prep the subfloor? I tried using a hand-held power sander with heavy grit paper, but that did almost nothing to help removal. I'd like to avoid renting a floor sander if possible.
Thanks in advance!

A thrilll a minute
In New Orleans, attorney Kimberly Porter specializes in death row cases because she doesn¿t believe in capital punishment. She is at her office with her daughter Faith Ann waiting for Amber Lee to arrive with evidence that will exonerate Horace Ford who will soon be executed. Amber shows up with photographs and negatives and they tape her story that crime lord and businessman Jerry Bennett faked evidence that would implicate Horace................ Hit man Aturo Estrada, hired by Bennett, kills Kimberly and Amber, and takes the photographs. He doesn¿t know that Kimberly made duplicates that twelve years old Faith Ann has along with the tape and negative she hopes to give to her uncle Mark, a former U.S. marshal because she knows Bennett has the police in his pocket. Mark and his wife are run over, putting Millie in the morgue and him in the hospital. Captain Suggs, indebted to Bennett, makes it look like Faith Ann killed the two women. Faith dodges the hit man and corrupt police while trying to get the evidence into the proper authorities before anyone else is hurt. U.S. marshal Winter Massey Arrives in New Orleans to finf Faith Ann and brink Millie¿s killer to justice.................................... Winter Massey returns for another hair-raising adventure in UPSIDE DOWN but the real heroine of this book is Faith Ann, a child who plays cat and mouse with police officers and killers while running for her life. She is still concerned about Horace and finding a way to get the evidence into the right hands. If people were like her the world would be a much better place. John Ramsey Miller does a brilliant job of showing that youngsters given a chance can be responsible caring people. Readers who like action in their thrillers will love this book.................

Business development associates analyze the potential for growth opportunities within their business. They closely monitor and work with departments that would be impacted by the implementation of their strategy, including research and development (R&D), production, marketing, and sales. Based on their analysis, they develop a business plan, mapping how the company can increase net income. Some of the data produced and monitored by business development associates include reasons for gains and losses (with regard to clients), opportunities available to market and sell to a client, the top performers in sales, and the services and products that the company offers that specific clients may be seeking.
Business development associates monitor clients and identify opportunities for attracting, selling to, and retaining a relationship with that client. Based on these numbers and reports, the business may change or redirect their marketing and sales strategies.
Business development associates typically hold bachelor's degrees (or higher) in business management, accounting, or a related field. They may also have experience in sales.

An conserative is someone who fear leaving his child with debt, but perfectly willing to leave her without clean water.
-Archmage, the prophet of the evil empire.
As a former Catholic, all this Tea Party ideology (in reality the XVIII century Founding Fathers ideology) remembers me the Social Doctrine of the Catholic Church (or its radical version, the Theology of Liberation).
No one can be against cutting government deficit and reduce the waste (in the case of the church it was helping the poor, caring for the sick and even fighting against oppressive governments, like the Nazis and the Soviets) but how will that be done? What will be cut?
Has the American society the desire to provide the services presently provided by the government (health, police, education, for example)? Strongly religious society like XVIII Century New England, Medieval Europe or Golden Age Islam did that, for free, and even defense, but is it feasible now? Seems naive, at best. Some non-governmental organizations may help but the brunt of the service must lie with the organized society, the Government... Post-earthquake Haiti, with plenty of NGO's and almost no government, is a good example: it does not work.
Best regards from Rio de Janeiro
Thank you for writing this very fair assessment of the Tea Party.
As a Libertarian, I feel that the Tea Party isn't doing enough in advocating smaller government. I fail to see the need to couple a raise in taxes along with spending cuts. If politicians did a really good job of slashing the myriad of unnecessary government programs there would be no need to raise taxes. As you got rid of the programs, the free market would flourish and a lot of these problems you hinted at will disappear or at least be minimized.
What is wrong with U.S. politics? I could hardly believe it when they had to choose between Al Gore and George Bush. An idiot wins over a complete bore. Some choice. Now they're taking Sarah Palin seriously? I'm waiting breathlessly to find out if Lindsay Lohan is going to launch a bid for the presidency. Nobody gives a damn about understanding the issues or economics so why not.
If neither party practises realism then you guys need a third party of the middle ground. You also need to tell your populace that their country is in trouble and everybody needs to pitch in. That means spending cuts AND higher taxes and everybody gets poorer for a little while. Nearly every other country in the world has done this and the people appreciate the truth and accept it. Treat the public like they have a brain and they will re-engage from wherever they've been. Fire your damned spin doctors and tell the truth. That's all people want.
It should be recognized that the Tea Party movement is pretty much a revolution within the Republican Party. I'm sure it has attracted some fiscally conservative Democrats as well but so far it's main manifestation in the real world is the destruction of existing Republican incumbents and power brokers. Most of these supported the policy disaster that was the Bush administration so good riddance.
Anybody with a brain can see that the Tea Party is not the answer to what ails the U.S. It may be the last desperate act of a tragic play but it could also be an important next step in transforming the debate in the U.S. away from the over accepted notion that this problem can be overcome merely by cutting spending (when Tea Party solutions fail). That train left the station when war was declared on Iraq.
In all likelihood however, the U.S. will ride this movement downward to the fiscal wall where inflation will be the only answer.
I appreciate that Tea Party protestors are not blocking roads and setting fires. Yet I worry that our elected officials still fail to enact necessary reforms and seem to be intimidated when confronted by orderly rallies that leave barely a crumpled candy wrapper. Why must I look to the French government to find an example of political courage?
People need to differentiate between what's ultimately behind the Tea Party movement and the politicians seeking to capitalize or demonize them.
The message is simply that the government is spending more than it should, and this is bankrupting the country. Beyond that, I don't think "Tea Partiers" agree on much. Some are certainly xenophobic, homophobic, and religious extremists. Many are not.
Unfortunately, the extreme of the Republic party has coopted the message, which extreme Democrats are gleefully seizing upon to discredit the underlying message. The rest of us lose.
Tea Partiers do not have a coherent message, offer any specifics or frankly stand for anything other than cutting government spending - because the movement isn't (or at least wasn't) a political movement, more than an expression of frustration of the bloating of government caused by both Democracts and Republicans.
I'm pessimistic, but hope both parties understand this and especially the Republicans who will most benefit - this isn't about simply swapping funding of the NEH for building a $17 billion fence to keep out those scary Mexicans.
The Economist's recent articles with regard to American politics have led me to distrust its ability to present the objective truth. Is this gagaging over Tea-Party 'pacifism' supposed to make me think they are suited for governing? That they have something worthwhile, rather, something intelligent to contribute? The answer, at least so far is that, no, the tea party is currently espousing more social regression than economic progression. Their candidates for government should demonstrate that (O'Donnell, Paul, PALIN).
Where is the talk, in Tea-Party politics, of real options, ones that take into account the plethora of historical examples that say big-government is exactly what America needs at this moment of economic crisis. You, ECONOMIST choose instead to include a single paragraph of real commentary on the POLITICS of this sham-of-a-political party. And stick this at the end? As if it's a second thought? Act like you write with a 21st century perspective, please.
At least choose a position! And stick with it! If you are as disgusted as I am with this group of Americans--who have no historical perspective, no understanding that government should be for the betterment of society (INCREASED production, employment, and price stability) as a whole, who are brazenly declaring how obstructionist to progression they have been and intend to be--and you applaud them for their 'un-frenchness'? What a joke. This is real. Be a real journalist and make a commentary on the depressing state of things.
As an American youth, I am horrified at my prospects for the future. I expect, at least from intellectual journalism, a real account of what lies ahead should this sham-political party gain power. For America and consequently Europe, the worst may yet have come.
Tea Party Militia Rule - Jefferson's Constitutionally Sanctioned Revolution Against a Tyrannical Plutocratic Government
Presently, many of its most popular leaders are women, as at the start of any revolution. Most of its leaders are bipartisan, educated, and gentlemanly - backed by armed labour nationalists.
It is infiltrated by political opportunists, seeking to either destroy it or gain control over it, as in any revolution.
It is attacked by many in the media, as in any revolution.
Its leaders are primarily intent on restoring traditional Constitutional Rule of Law, in respect to taxation, currency control, and war; by purging the executive, congressional, and judicial branches of the elected leaders responsible for the ruinous illegal nation building wars, the outsourcing of technology and jobs to China, the millions of illegal Mexican immigrants competing with American labour, the subprime and derivative scam of the international bankers, and the trillion dollar tax burden on their next generation.
A coalition government, comprised of traditional Conservatives and Liberals, would provide their best leadership.
D Sherman:
You are evidently a smart person, and I thus hope you join the TP, so as to moderate some of its obliviousness. Yes, one can "argue" many things, but there is reality (or, with a topic like evolution, enough evidence to make it reality to a high degree of confidence).
If smart people cannot see how TARP prevented economic catastophe then, yes, we have a problem. Part of the issue is that, I think, most people do not understand the Federal Reserve, the banking system, or even money (in all its different for example, M1, M2, etc forms--much less that essentially every debt in the banking system is an asset, and the reverse, so that the government increasing debt for our future may not be a problem if there is a corresponding appropriate asset).
Thus all the "I always thought....", or "I was always told....(that house prices and the stock market always go up, for example), "I didn't realize...."
Now that a lot of the junk reality has been stripped away, stunned people figure anything they were told/knew could be untrue.
But there is a reality there somewhere: the Founding Fathers were more Enlightenment than Fundamentalist (Reading the Federalist papers should give some evidence to that). US health care is atrociously expensive, inefficient, and dragging down the competitiveness of the economy. There has been a huge wealth shift toward the wealthy in the US, which was masked by the housing boom (asset inflation, really)--one could argue this is either good or bad--but for the lower middle class to vote to throw more money toward me, a well-off person, becomes at some point bizarre.
This could work out well--better understanding of a lot of things. But, to my eyes, it is not clear the TP is the solution, and could be a very scary regression.
"America's tea-partiers are the opposite: they exhale fiscal probity through every pore. In their waking hours, and in bed at night, they are wracked by anxiety. How is a profligate America to cut borrowing, balance the budget and ensure that its billowing deficit will not place an unbearable burden on future generations?"
If this is the real motivation behind the Tea Party then kindly ask your researchers to ask the Tea Party to answer these four questions:
1 - Where were your concerns when the previous Administration decided to spend a trillion dollars in Iraq for ... well, who even knows why we went there anymore?
2 - If you are so concerned about the deficit, how do you justify asking for the continuation of the previous Administration's tax cuts for the wealthiest 2% of Americans? (Remember - those are the only tax cuts that the current Administration wants to end)
3 - If you, or members of your family, receive Social Security or are enrolled in Medicare have you written to your Congressmen yet to demand that these benefits be taken away from you? Or, better yet, have you stopped cashing your Social Security checks?
4 - How would you propose balancing the budget?
Under every brush of deceit lies an element of truth. So, in this sense the Tea Party has certainly identified "honest to goodness issues" that need to be addressed. BUT! In saying that, the problem with the "truth part" is the surface slogans that bash the core underbelly of our nation's and to a large extent every global nation's problem: the alignment of government spending NOW based on the infinite growth theory of the FUTURE ... you know: "Give Me Now / Let Me Pay Later". Oops! Real world economics does not work that way.
It's much like the coach who gives a great motivational oration before the game and fails to understand the x's and o's intricacy of the game. It's a losing situation close to 100% of the time. The Tea Party in fact does use absurd stereotypes to broadcast it's message: birth certificates, Hitler and socialism, the non-white status of the President (regardless what Tea Party members say, they ARE racist to a large extent). They fail to allocate blame to the longer term policies of multiple presidents in increasing spending without a stable infrastructure for payment ... very much like the psychology of the real estate market: "Real Estate Appreciates Infinitely". Oops again ... life just doesn't work that way.
The fact is that NO politician or political persuasion will solve this problem. So, let's not pick on the Tea Party ... in this sense, everyone is to blame. The outcomes of the election are NOT going to substantially change the underlying causes of economic distress. In my opinion, and as outdated as this sounds, I feel Adam Smith's INVISIBLE HAND will prevail ... that is, the market forces are battling for supremacy in the Greek-God laden clouds ... only at the conclusion of the invisible war of economic forces will the proper infrastructures come into existence ... followed closely (and belligerently) by new social and personal ideologies of life-style, cultural aims and fiscal responsibility ... hopefully, at that point we can resume our peaceful day-to-day existence burdened only the normals stresses of our modern era.
Living in the land of the tea partiers I find your characterizations of them as having fiscal probity and desiring peaceful coexistence with their fellow citizens doubtful. I find myself not only being lectured on the virtues of "conservative" economic principles, but also hit up for large amounts of cash because they can't balance their own checkbooks. Most of them also have private arsenals in their basement and are incredulous that this doesn't boost my confidence in civil society. Like one of previous posters, I am a moderate, but considered a bearded commie by their ilk.
Lexington is playing with fire. Tuck a copy of this column away, and see how it reads in 2012.
The only thing that's clear so far is that Europeans and Northeaster blue-blood old-school liberals have in mind a caricature of "Tea Partiers" as rabid, drooling hicks. I've never been to a Tea Party, so I have no idea if they're really as stupid as the educated folks make them out to be. Given the abysmal level of intelligent decision-making on the part of voters of all parties (voting for someone because he looks honest or against someone because they don't like the sound of their voice), I'm not even sure if it matters whether Tea Party people are more or less intelligent than the average.
What IS interesting, and what has not been adequately covered, is that unlike every flash-in-the-pan third party in living American memory, the Tea Party is trying to redirect (or "reform" if you agree with them) the existing parties, primarily the Republicans, rather than mount a doomed effort to elect their candidates on a third-party ticket. This is really significant, and ought to be compared to what was going on at the turn of the last century with "Free Silver" and "Bull Moose" Republicans. Perhaps it's just a coincidence that both the Tea Party and the Free Silver and Bull Moose people were trying to reform the Republicans rather the Democrats. In both cases, however, their goal was to take control of the party away from big business and give it a more populist flavor. The Free Silver movement had amazing parallels to today's foreclosure crisis, which is another thing a good writer ought to explore. What the Tea Party may be lacking is a "Bull Moose" like Teddy Roosevelt, although also coincidentally, it's a rare cartoon of Sarah Palin that doesn't include a reference to a moose. Although I'm quite certain I'd rather listen to a speech by Teddy Roosevelt (who once took a bullet in the chest during a political rally, told the audience he'd just been shot, and continued the speech to the end) than one by Sarah Palin, whose irritating screech always distracts me from whatever she's trying to say, I do find the parallels between the two movements to reform the Republican party remarkably similar.
Roosevelt did manage to win as a Republican reformer, much to the consternation of the party bosses, who were eventually stuck with him. Once elected he turned out to be a veritable leftist in terms of environmental, labor, and public safety legislation. Perhaps he would have failed a conservative purity test, but perhaps also, in an age when card-carrying socialists were getting elected to public office and "Bolsheviks" and "anarchists" were the active terrorists of their day (let's remember how Teddy Roosevelt first became President), reforming the Republican party from within may have saved the country from a second civil war. Without that reform, it's likely that the Republicans and Democratic positions would have become ever more polarized and entrenched, with the bankers and oligarchs digging in on the Republican side to defend every penny of their wealth and privilege and the Wobblies and Socialists radicalizing the grangers and trade unionists on the Democratic side until an absolute and uncompromising power struggle developed that could easily have turned a phenomenon such as Coxey's Army into a casus belli. Perhaps the Tea Partiers will accomplish the same thing, defusing an increasingly polarized political process. Only time will tell.
I had laugh at this line in the article: "TARP, the Bush-era bail-out that may have staved off a financial collapse"
The operative words there, of course, are "may have". Throwing a virgin into the volcano "may have" prevented it from erupting. Sacrificing a slave every morning "may have" ensured that the sun would rise. Torturing prisoner in Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo, or any of the other black holes around the world "may have" prevented another 9/11 attack. If we could all take credit for bad things that "may have" happened had we not prevented them, we'd all have egos the size of Jupiter. Perhaps we should keep in mind the disasters that politicians frequently promise us will arrive if the people don't pass some new tax levy or accept some new "security" law, but which in fact do not happen when the proposed tax or law isn't passed. Not too long ago California put half a dozen measures on the ballot, all of which the citizens had to pass in order to prevent Immanent Disaster. All of the measures, save one (limiting legislators' pay) failed, and yet Disaster did not follow.
Yes, TARP arguably saved us from "collapse". But just as arguably, TARP accomplished nothing towards that end and there would have been no collapse without it. Furthermore, it's also equally arguable that we are already in a financial collapse, despite TARP, and we are merely trying to deny it and slow it down for as long as possible.
I forgot to mention, in my last comment about how anti-intellectualism is never to our collective benefit, the tendency for empathy-starved anti-intellectual movements to become brutal. And there is plenty of evidence that The Tea Party is no exception: http://coloradoconfluence.com/?p=622
From a magazine that wants its analysis and political stance to be seen as based on superior, expert knowledge of economics and politics, this comment is misleading and outright irresponsible. I have no sympathy for unionist protests in France and in other EU countries defending the privileges that can no longer be financially supported, but I am deeply outraged by the political ignorance and behind the back manipulation of the Tea parties movement - think about the deep seated ignorance and irrationality and pathos of, e.g., Sarah Palin and Glen Beck, spiritual leaders of Tea parties movement. However well intentioned participants of tea party supposedly grass roots events might be, they are financed and steered by interests of corporate lobbies, big money, the Koch brothers, Richard Mellon Scaife, Rupert Murdoch and co., and influential right wing operators like "Ginni" Lamp Thomas (take notice of the 5 to 4 Supreme Court's Citizens United decision that legalized secretive financing of political causes). Te Economist should know better and take responsibility for its statements after the fact as well - remember that the chest thumping of George W. Bush and neoconservatives about American empire, unprovoked war and tax cutting that your magazine often supported resulted in biggest budget deficit in US history and severe economic crisis, with financial system on the brink of collapse in 2008. What will be the consequences if these policies succeed in influencing decision-making of American congress? My prediction - aggravated economic crisis in America that will take a form of protracted depression, widening of social divisions and intensified social conflicts, rapid spread of poverty and, in the last instance, the end of America as global economic, political and ideological superpower, which is a pity - I see a lot of good in traditions of American revolution, free speech, robust democracy, enterprising spirit and adherence to the rule of law! Tea parties are the carnival of selfishness, obscene celebration of non-solidarity that can do no good either to America or the world in the long run! Lexington, you should know better! Or else, if you support these kind of policies because they will make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer you should clearly state so and not throw sand into people's eyes!
As a simple-minded TEA party voter , I will prpose a simple spending plan . Let us simply reuse the FY 2008 budget . After all , didn't everyone agree that spending was out of control in 2008 ?? So there must be enough funding at that level of expenditure , no exceptions. Is that a simple enough proposal ?
Great Article! The hard work is to now cut the budget. Everyone talks about cutting the budget but no one has been able to pull enough people together to do it. I wish these new guys luck. As you remember the current speaker of the house started off by declaring no more deficit spending. Now several trillions borrowed dollars later it is time to show her and her lies to the door.
I generally agree with Lexington and The Economist, but we part company on this topic. True, the explicit racism is on the fringe of the Tea Party, but the rampant xenophobia and "in-group/out-group" belligerence toward a variety of "others" isn't (Tea Partiers are generally very found of Arizona's essentially racist immigration law, which considers all Hispanics suspect). Most importantly, the Tea Party is one more incarnation of an ugly populist anti-intellectual movement, decrying the horrors wrought by actually applying reason to evidence in pursuit of sound policies.
Lexington has previously penned some agreement with anti-intellectualism, but I strongly disagree. While some ideas that emerge from the academy may have wrought some havok, it is always, in the long run, preferable to act on the basis of more rather than less information, on the basis of the application of more rather than less logical analysis, whether it informs more or less governmental activism and intervention. The notion that ignorance can ever be, in the long run and on average, more useful than knowledge is a bizarre one, and not a notion that The Economist should be giving support to.
The Tea Party isn't only anti-intellectual, it is also devoid of empathy. In my exchanges with Tea Partiers, they almost always decry the "taking away" of what's theirs to "give it to those lazy people who don't want to work," completely ignoring the role that the chances of birth play in one's opportunity structures, and the vital role government has in trying to improve the opportunities available to those currently least well positioned at birth to succeed. There are a number of proactive, early intervention services (quality public education, integrated child and family services including mental health services, which reduce the future costs of expensive reactive "solutions" such as welfare and enormous rates of incarceration).
Yes, increased fiscal responsibility would be good for America. No, the Tea Party's anti-intellectual extreme individualism isn't, and won't be.

Possible to start pansies and violas in cold frame?
beachlakegrower(5b PA)October 14, 2011
I'm interested in adding growing of flowers to a schoolyard, raised-bed, vegetable gardening project. Would like to grow violas and pansies in raised beds in the garden. However, I'm not experienced in growing members of this family of flowers.
Looking for info re: if I convert one of the raised beds into a cold frame, are there cold-hardy varieties that can be sown directly into cold frame soil in late winter/early spring? Or do we need to start the plants indoors, under grow lights and then transplant out?
This would be in NE PA in zone 5B. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

The Buffalo Bills have announced that running back Fred Jackson will not play during the team's Thursday night contest against the Miami Dolphins, reports Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com. "It looks like Fred will be out this week," said Bills coach Chan Gailey. "The tests this morning were not as good as we had hoped and he had hoped so he won't play this week." Gailey confirmed that the team has diagnosed Jackson, who left Sunday's game against the New England Patriots with a head injury, with a concussion. The running back was hit in the back of the head by the elbow of Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes after catching a pass. With Jackson sidelined due to the concussion, running back C.J. Spiller will see a bulk of the carries against the Dolphins. He's certainly no slouch, as he's had several big games in place of Jackson this season.

American is currently seeking to cut costs in bankruptcy protection so the flight attendants' union pushed hard for this vote — warning that rejecting the contract could mean even deeper cuts or furloughs. The company's trying to cut about a billion dollars in labor costs. Mechanics and other union workers had previously accepted new contracts but pilots rejected American's latest offer earlier this month.
