Can Indian art fetch you big bucks?
June 21, 2005
Ripunjoy Kumar Sarma , INDIATIMES NEWS NETWORK
In the Saffronart summer online auction that closed on May 12, FN Souza's "The Remark", which was expected to fetch Rs 32.25 lakh ($75,000) at most, actually sold for no less than Rs 65.75 lakh ($152,900) Tyeb Mehta's "Kali" that was on the cover of the catalogue and was expected to fetch Rs 47.30 lakh ($110000) actually sold for over Rs 1 crore ($236,500). But what was really surprising was the number of young artists who crossed the Rs 10-lakh mark. Jitish Kallat's "Acid Drop" that was expected to sell at around Rs 6 lakh ($14,000)
An unlimited yen for Indian art
March 16, 2004
Reshmi R Dasgupta , TNN
NEW DELHI: The poverty of one's expression is never as evident as when one likes something. Words come so easily when describing what you don't like," smiles Masanori Fukuoka looking out of a plateglass window into Vadehra Art Gallery's flower-filled garden. Coming from a man prone to enigmatic silences, it's a telling comment. The 50-year-old Japanese collector has become a virtual white knight for the Indian art scene globally but very little is known about him. No wonder any tidbit is a revelation even if it doesn't shed too much light on what makes him tick.
Indian art hits the jackpot, bigtime
December 24, 2005
Ashoke Nag , TNN
Let's get this in black and white. Art and materialism? The purists might turn their noses up at this: not too symmetrical, they might say. Nah, the twain just don't meet... Allow us to present a reality check: Not only is Indian art a great hit locally and abroad, artists are beginning to stack up the moneybags. There's no way Indian art will look back in '06: NRIs and domestic buyers are clued in to contemporary paintings. And their appetite is increasing with every square inch of paint they lap up. "The Indian art market is throwing up a sizeable quantum of buyers who have turned their focus on art buying only in the past few years.
Indian art makes a big splash in Hong Kong
April 28, 2004
Ashoke Nag
KOLKATA: Christie's has hit bullseye again at its recent sale of contemporary Indian art in Hong Kong. The auctioneer found buyers for 24 of the 26 pieces that went under the hammer. And, the bottomline: the two dozen-odd paintings swung a whopping $581,567 in sales. Last year, Christie's went to Hong Kong with 32 works of Indian art. Then too, only two paintings remained unsold. The 30 canvasses brought in $600,000. Simple maths show that prices have climbed by an average of over 20%. The big league, led by MF Hussain, Akbar Padamsee, NS Bendre and Ram Kumar, have reason to smile.
Indian art canvas grows in Europe
March 12, 2008
KOLKATA: Indian art is gaining increased acceptability in Europe, especially in France. Renowned Paris-based Indian painter Sakti Burman sees a buoyant future for Indian art in these regions. Of course, artists who have been living in Paris for long are obviously enjoying greater visibility and a bigger slice of the European market. Pricewise, on an average, Indian artists have found a rise of 300-400% in the European circuit over the last four-five years.
Taking a rain check on Indian art
August 4, 2005
Ashoke Nag , TNN
KOLKATA: It's the abiding touch of rains in Indian art which cuts across centuries, encasing ancient, mediaeval and contemporary genres. The reflections of monsoon have either been stark realism or laced with romanticism. The thematic expression naturally depended on the mood of the artist at a given point of time. "Husain had dwelt on this subject through his umbrella series. NS Bendre depicted the rains in his own way. Many artists from Bengal have focused on the theme, as rains have always been an integral part of Bengal's life and times.
Indian art featuring Christ hot-sellers
December 25, 2003
Ashoke Nag , TNN
KOLKATA: Christ has been one of the most abiding themes in modern Indian art. And, his magic has influenced artists of different periods and categories. This spans the progressives, early Bengal and contemporary names. Painters whose canvases on Christ are well known include Jamini Roy, Hussain, Souza and Nikhil Biswas. Estimated prices of these works figure between Rs 3 lakh and Rs 40 lakh. "These works were mostly executed around the '50s and '60s. Sometimes, one also comes upon an earlier piece.
Global collectors stock up on contemporary Indian art
September 1, 2008
Ashoke Nag
KOLKATA: NRIs and domestic collectors are getting increasingly active at international auctions of Indian contemporary art. While old buyers are picking up pieces occasionally, there is a fair cross-section of newer collectors who have entered the field. In step, top overseas collectors like Charles Saatchi, Frank Cohen and Francois Pinault are fast stocking up this genre of Indian art. "What we are seeing in the contemporary Indian art market is what is happening in the contemporary art market the world over.
Indian art to be auctioned by Sotheby's
August 17, 2007
LONDON: Leading auctioneer Sotheby's will hold two sales of Indian art, including important works by M F Husain, V S Gaitonde, F N Souza and Atul Dodiya, next month. While the auction house in New York will hold the first sale of Indian art, including miniatures and modern paintings on September 19, paintings, sculptures, photographs and video art by Subodh Gupta and Mrinalini Mukherjee amongst others will be the highlight of the September 21 sale of 'Contemporary Art South Asia: India and Pakistan.
Aakriti's celebrates masters of Indian art
May 29, 2013
Ashoke Nag , ET Bureau
KOLKATA: Kolkata art gallery Aakriti's present show revisits a historical moment in art history with the works of four great acclaimed Masters of Indian art: Nandalal Bose, Jamini Roy, GopalGhosh , and Gobardhan Ash and also makes an attempt to question a number of just stated such 'little tested assumptions' at a time when more mass culture has spawned its spurious harmonies. As debased modernism retreats more and more into deviance and dissonance, Aakriti Art Gallery feels the need to raise the most searching questions in these rare works of the Masters that produced our finest visual text: the collages of Nandalal Bose, sketches and paintings of Jamini Roy, GopalGhosh and Gobardhan Ash. The exhibition titled 'Manifestations of the Mystique' showcases works that scrutinize the living art that speaks from the depths of the soul and reaches out to us to a world of infinitely rich theatre of their soul; weave and re-weave a potent spell for all of who dare to share in the drama, a melody that lingers.

Talk:California Proposition 8, the "Eliminates Right of Same-Sex Couples to Marry" Initiative (2008)
|Writing articles
|Help Desk
General judge articles
|Judgepedia policies
Position of presidential candidates
Someone added a line to the article that says, "In the last month both Presidential candidates, including their vice presidents have stated they support proposition 8 and believe in the traditional view of, 'marriage as only between a man and woman.'" I've taken it out pending a citation that establishes it. I was under the impression that Obama was opposed to 8. The only way to settle is with citations to reliable sources. Calgal 12:49, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
A number of suggested changes
I'd like to make the following changes to the article in addition to updating the contribution information.
Move ballot title/lawsuit section lower in article; it is less relevant now.
Create new subsection toward top that expands on the one sentence in the intro as to why the supporters started this effort.
Create an "Arguments pro and con" section. This would largely be based on the arguments in the official voters guide.
Break up the external links category into three subsections, "Basic information", "Websites of supporters", "Websites of opponents".
- It might also be time to start two new pages, one just listing opponents, one supporters, as has been done for California Proposition 7 (2008).
Leave me a note here or on my talk page if you disagree or have questions/thoughts. Calgal 11:53, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Bougainvilla in pot
Hi, I potted two bougainvillas with pinkish blooms last year. They did great but of couse died in the winter. Will they come back??? I am not seeing any signs of life yet. How long do I give them before I give up an buy new ones???
Thanks, Sheri
Sheri. I've been researching this plant and find that it's usually hardy if protected from temps under 50 degrees F. during winter. Here's a site that was recommended to me for good info by someone in Arizona. (I visit all the Southern state forums for advice on plants not ordinarily found or grown locally.) josh
Here is a link that might be useful: Bougainvillea
Bougainvillas are dead. They are more tropical than zone 8. You can overwinter them in an unheated garage but water sparingly during this time. They will drop leaves but will put out again in spring when put outside. I've done this for 35 yrs. on one of mine. It's in a huge pot and the "trunk" is like a small tree. I have also brought it inside in the winter and it dropped leaves and looked pretty bad but at least in the garage they are out of the way. By the way, cut them back when you bring them in.

EP6T DXpedition
Thursday morning, three years after our first contact in Iran, members of the Rockall Dx Group will be leaving Brussels at 12 o'clock local time. Flying to Teheran (via Moscow) where we have to change airport for the domestic flight to Kish Island AS-166. We have 30 fully packed suitcases filled with radio equipment and antennas. Radios will be carried as hand luggage which leaves about 6 kg of personal stuff for each operator.
We expect arrival on Kish island January 16th early morning. As soon as we have approval from the local police we can start building antennas. Priority will be lowband TX. 40m four-square and Hexbeams setting up the equipment in the shack is planned after sunset. EP6T will probably be going on air early morning of January 17th, but remember that we have not been sleeping for 36 hours at that time! Lowband RX antennas and 10m yagi will go up during the next day. We will be off air for a few hours to finish the station setup.
There will be two groups of 5 people operating in 4 hour shifts, around the clock. Again we want to ask people in Europe and Asia for your cooperation when we have propagation to North America, since this is the most difficult path on all bands. Listen to the operators instructions, and we will all be enjoying the pile ups.
There has been some deliberate QRM on 80 meters during the last months, the EP6T operators are aware of this, so turn your VFO away from the QRM and maybe you will find us calling a little bit below or above our announced frequency.
On Top Band we may be listening 1803 – 1810 for NA if EU/AS signals are causing too much trouble. Again, listen to the operators instructions.
We would like some signal reports from NA on 10 and 160m. Please send these reports via email@example.com so we can adjust according to propagation openings. We will have daily updates from our pilots. If you want to know the best time to work us, use the link to K6TU on our website. When we have internet access you will find pictures, updates and the online log as well. Don't forget the donate button which gives you a free QSL card for your QSO with EP.
Social media is covered by Bjorn, ON9CFG, twitter #EP6T and on Facebook.
We would like to say a big "THANK YOU" to Dr Fard, Mrs. Mortazavi and our assistants in Iran helping us getting EP6T on air, without them this expedition would not be possible.

160m this morning...
Great opening on 160 this morning...!!!
My antenna (a λ/4 dipole at 15m) it's still under test for more than 2 months but this morning propagation helps a lot. With noise at S3 was easy to hear USA's big guns. QSB was fair but long and I really enjoy it.
All this week I will try to be QRV on daily basis on Top Band.
Hope to hear you there.

The last (?) 4m-6m opening...
All-day long today on 6m, 4m and few QSOs on 2m bands.Looks like to be the last (maybe) opening on my favorite bands. About 240 QSOs and few suprises...
|4m map
|4m-6m opening
My FT-847 without any mod for 4m operation gave 20 watts and draws about 25 Ampers. Between 12:00-13:00z I decide to make the PA1O mod. After for more than 50 screws and few desoldering-soldering, modification made and radio goes back to opening for test.
Now I got 75 watts for 9-11 Amps. Looks a small success...!! No any bad reports so far.
Audio "looks" also nice from my ham friends recordings...!!

Holidays and ...tropo games...!!!
Since yesterday I'm on holidays at KM36vc (South Rhodes).
First propagation thing that I noticed was the 24 hours Tropo on
UHF TV with Egypt TV Channels 1 and 2.
As you can see it's Q5 and with very stable signal all day.
Earlier today as I except 2m opening in eastern Mediterranean happens and the results was 4X, SV9, and 9H on 2m and replys to 9H1CG John's request, I manage to work him on 432.200 SSB using the antenna of ...2m !!!
Few moments later SV9IOQ was also into the log working him on UHF.

One explanation: Sometimes I put several QSOs, worked on my frequency, at DX cluster. That's not a way to advertise my QSOs, but to keep the propagation maps up to date and help other to point on the Es cloud from their area showing the path. Thanks for understanding.

Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), vested with the power of inviting tenders for laying gas pipelines in the country, is expected to invite bids soon for the pipeline supplying natural gas to domestic consumers under the City Gas Distribution project.
The process was likely to be initiated next month, a senior official of the New Delhi-based Board told The Hindu over phone.
PNGRB had invited bids for CGD network for eight cities including Kochi in October 2010 in the fourth round of bidding for gas pipelines, but they were cancelled later on official grounds. Stakeholders were understood to have insisted on revision of guidelines for bidding process, which led to the cancellation. The guidelines have been revised and the new ones will be applicable to the fresh bidders.
Other than Ernakulam, the geographical areas involved in the fourth round were Rangareddy, Medak, Nalgonda and Khammam districts in Andhra Pradesh; Alibag, Lonavala/Khapoli in Maharashtra; Guna in Madhya Pradesh; and Shahjahanpur in Uttar Pradesh. Bids would be invited for those areas in the next round, the official said. With a vessel carrying liquefied natural gas having arrived at the Petronet LNG terminal at Puthuvype earlier this week, it is a matter of days before the supply of regasified LNG to consumers begins. Bulk consumers in the industrial sector will get gas in the initial phase. Piped natural gas (PNG), under the CGS project, could be supplied to domestic consumers through pipelines connected to the main lines, once the process being initiated by PNGRB is completed.
GAIL India has already laid natural gas pipelines beginning from the LNG terminal at Puthuvype to Udyogamandal and Ambalamugal within the city, for the industrial consumers of FACT and BPCL Kochi. The city gas distribution network could be connected to these pipelines for onward domestic supply.
Petronet LNG Limited is foraying into direct marketing of LNG supplies through trucks to LNG hubs and satellite stations in regions not served by pipelines, under the brand name Taral Gas. The company was ready to provide Taral Gas to domestic consumers, A.K. Balyan, managing director, said here recently. The Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) has already floated a joint venture with GAIL India for gas distribution in the domestic sector. Such entities will have to take part in the bidding process and PNGRB will select the operators for distribution to households.

Fallen Washington Trooper Remembered at Service
Trooper Sean O'Connell
Photo credit: Washington State Police
EVERETT, Wash. -- There was a certain repetition in the words of those who paid tribute Thursday to Trooper Sean O'Connell at his memorial service.
The Washington State Patrol motorcycle officer, who was killed in an on-duty traffic collision a week ago, was universally remembered as a selfless, devoted family man who was dedicated to his job, bore a contagious smile and cared about everyone with whom he interacted.
But perhaps it was Snohomish County Executive John Lovick, who had been O'Connell's supervisor at the State Patrol for six years, who summed it up most succinctly when he addressed the trooper's children.
"Your dad was the nicest man to ever walk the face of this Earth," Lovick said to O'Connell's 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter, who were seated in the front row with their mother, Alissa, at Everett's Comcast Arena. "He was so proud of you and he loved you so much."
The two-plus-hour memorial service was preceded by a 500-car motorcade and drew close to 2,000 people, including law-enforcement officers from the U.S. and Canada.
O'Connell, 38, was attached to the district headquarters in Marysville for most of his 16 years with the State Patrol and was well-known in Snohomish and Skagit counties, his colleagues said.
The Lake Stevens man was patrolling backed-up traffic on a detour around the collapsed Interstate 5 bridge over the Skagit River last Friday when he was thrown from his motorcycle in a collision with a box truck. The accident remains under investigation.
O'Connell, who was named Trooper of the Year in his district, grew up in New York and moved to Washington while he was in the Navy. He met Alissa while stationed in Bremerton, according to his brother, Fran O'Connell.
Fran O'Connell, a Washington, D.C., physician, said his brother had a gift for bringing out the best in people.
"We can honor Sean's memory by trying to be more like him," he said. "We'll answer our calling, love our friends and family, and find humor in the everyday events of life."
Gov. Jay Inslee said that he had breathed a sigh of relief when there was no loss of life when the Skagit River bridge collapsed May 23. He said O'Connell's death was a reminder that first responders are often also the last to leave disasters.
"Highways and bridges can be replaced, but lives cannot," Inslee said.
State Patrol Capt. Randy Drake said O'Connell was a "very engaging" and optimistic man who truly believed in people.
"That huge smile brought energy and life to everyone he met," Drake said.
State Patrol Chief John Batiste thanked O'Connell's parents for raising a great trooper and a tremendous human being.
"I don't think there was a better trooper who exemplified service with humility more than Sean O'Connell," Batiste said.
O'Connell's widow wiped her eyes, and wrapped her arms around her daughter and buried her face in the little girl's dark hair when the bagpipes opened the ceremony and when her husband's badge number was called for the last time.

Add A New Toy To Your Portfolio
This week's hot stock comes from our comprehensive sector analysis on the Consumer Discretionary sector. We perform this type of analysis for each of the 10 sectors. Hasbro (NASDAQ:HAS) is probably best known as the maker of popular toys such as Play-Doh, Nerf, and Monopoly. However, resurgence in its other brands, such as My Little Pony and Transformers, as well as planned expansions of existing brands, gives Hasbro great potential for years to come.
Hasbro has grown after tax profit (NOPAT) by 8% compounded annually over the last 10 years. The company currently has a 15% return on invested capital (ROIC), nearly $500 million in free cash flowon a trailing 12 month basis, and positive economic earnings for the past nine years. At the end of the third quarter of 2014, Hasbro announced that its total sales were up 6% over 2013 and operating income was up 45%. These increases were attributed to strong sales in Transformers and Marvel branded boys' toys, and My Little Pony branded girls' toys. Going forward, Hasbro has secured the rights to Marvel and Star Wars brands through 2020, and will obtain the rights to produce Disney Princess toys, including Frozen toys in 2016.
All the above are the biggest reasons that Hasbro receives our Very Attractive rating. Best of all, Hasbro remains undervalued despite these positive fundamental metrics. At its current price of ~$52/share, Hasbro has a price to economic book value (PEBV) ratio of 0.9. A 10% permanent decline in NOPAT seems overdrawn given the positive sales results and upcoming product lines touched on above.
If Hasbro can grow NOPAT by just 6% compounded annually for the next 10 years, the stock is worth $72/share, a 33% upside.

Ranked: Our Top 10 ETFs
There are almost 500 ETFs under our coverage, many of which track the same indexes. It's almost impossible for investors to perform due diligence on each of these ETFs - that would mean analyzing all of the stocks in each ETF, the stocks' weightings, as well as analyzing all of the funds' associated costs.
We do all of this diligence for you. We apply our work on almost 3,000 individual stocks to the holdings of all of the ETFs we cover, and we're able to rate each fund on the quality of its holdings. When combined with our total annual costs rating, which takes into account all of the costs of being in a given fund for the average holding period, this level of diligence allows us to have the most complete and transparent fund ratings in the business.
The following is a list of our top 10 ETFs that have over $100 million in assets under management (AUM), and that are not leveraged.
8 Items Distorting The Net Income Of Companies In Your PortfolioIncome Statement Adjustments Reveal the Truth
Filing season is upon us: The time of year when majority of publicly traded companies release their 10-K annual reports. During this time, we get a complete, audited view of a company's financials along with footnotes and the Management Discussion & Analysis.
These sections contain items that are imperative to obtaining a true picture of the cash flows a company generates. In 2012 for example, JP Morgan (NYSE:JPM) revealed on page 73 of its 10-K that it received $1.1 billion from a bankruptcy settlement. This was then bundled with other items and included as operating income despite being a one-time settlement and certainly non-recurring.
Our analysts scrutinize every page of over 3000 10-Ks to find instances in which accounting adjustments need to be made to each company's GAAP numbers. We adjust for over 30 items that can artificially inflate or deflate earnings.
The only way to truly value a company is to know the true recurring cash flows generated by the company. We do this for you by calculating net operating profit after tax, or "NOPAT."
This week, we've created a list of the companies (who have already filed for 2014) with the largest adjustments to GAAP net income. These adjustments allow you to see the recurring cash flows generated by the business, and not what management wants you to see.

KENT CONRAD AND 'SIGNIFICANTLY LESS'.... There's one thing conservative Democratic senators seem to agree on when it comes to health care reform. Despite the big Democratic majorities on the Hill and the Democratic president, they see the need for a bill that's much weaker, less comprehensive, and less effective than what the Democratic mainstream has in mind.
The Gang of Six members made this much clear late last week, and Sen. Kent Conrad (D) of North Dakota, one of the six negotiators and a long-time opponent of a public option, reiterated the point yesterday. Reform is "going to have to be significantly less than what we've heard talked about," Conrad said.
In terms of "what we've heard talked about," the center-right Democrat was almost certainly referring to Democratic proposals that have already passed the House Education and Labor Committee, the House Ways and Means Committee, the House Energy and Commerce Committee, and the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. These efforts, apparently, don't meet Conrad's standards. Americans and their failing health care system, Conrad insists, need less.
It's likely that means legislation that costs "significantly" less and does "significantly" less.
Jonathan Cohn explains that the reform bill that's already passed four of the five relevant committees were already scaled back to satisfy the demands of less-progressive lawmakers.
In order to keep the price tag at or below $1 trillion over ten years, Democrats had to write bills that would roll out reforms slowly, over several years, so that a new system was not fully in place until 2013 or later. That's a long time to wait for change, particularly if you're one of the unlucky souls who ends up without insurance -- or with inadequate insurance -- when illness strikes.
The saving grace of those four bills was that the consumer protections and financial assistance in them remained reasonably strong. If reform ends up looking like those four bills, then financial assistance would be available to people earning up to four times the poverty rate -- or around $88,000 a year in family income. (Subsidies would be available on a sliding scale, so that a family making $70,000 would get very little, a family making $60,000 would get more, and so on.) Such a measure would also limit out-of-pocket expenses to $10,000 a year per family, while providing other crucial protections. And, of course, it would include a real public insurance option.
If Conrad and his supporters get their way, the new health care system won't be nearly as generous -- or protective. They've made clear they want a package that costs less than $1 trillion. A lot less.

As a practical matter, that means "significantly less" help for the uninsured, and based on the research of the Center on Budget and Policy, many middle-class families that wouldn't receive any subsidies for coverage at all.
Atrios noted this morning that when all is said and done, Americans will actually have to like the health care bill if/when it comes law. Conrad, whose role is inexplicably critical to the process, insists reform has to offer fewer protections, less coverage, and fewer benefits, especially to the middle class. It wouldn't only be a lost once-in-a-generation opportunity, it would be a solution that almost no one likes.
Cohn concluded, "You can imagine why Republicans might think this is a dandy idea. But why on earth would Democrats agree?" Sen. Conrad, that's not a rhetorical question.
Yes, I'm amazed that NOWHERE can you find any "debate/discussion" on the TIMELINE for the legislation now waiting in the wings for Bachus and his crew to finish...if this is so urgent and so many people are desperate for some relief how in HELL do Dems sign off on a phase in that will take until 2013 to actually help those most in need?????? And, why isn't that being discussed? Because we are all manipulated by the corporate press and the politicians who have their own interests to protect FIRST!!! OOPS, nowhere but HERE I might have mentioned...let's see how far that goes...
A question on the Gang of Six(TM):
Has anyone heard what Bingaman thnks on all this? I've heard Enzi, Grassley, Baucus, and Conrad prattle endlessly. I've even heard Snowe comment on the fact that they aren't even considering the public option.
I may have missed it, but I have yet to see or hear a quote from Bingaman.
Perhaps those right leaning Congressmen/women will experience "significantly less" time in office?
Kent Conrad is a hypocrite. He voted for the Bush tax cuts and the prescription drug bill without batting an eye. If a Republican president had proposed a public option, Conrad would be bending over and backwards to get it through.
Look, Sen. Conrad gets elected in North Dakota. North Dakota, though it often elects Democrats to statewide and local office, is basically a conservative state. Co-ops, incidentally, are very big in North Dakota, always have been. So Conrad is their chief advocate of health co-ops as an alternative to a public health insurance option as well as a critic of health reform's cost.
This stuff is what it is. Elected representatives respond to the views of the people that elected them. If they are left on their own to work out all the details of complex legislation on a subject like health care reform, they are going to roam far off the legislation.
President Obama and his team have spent too much time worrying about what Clinton did wrong in 1993 and not enough studying what President Reagan did right in 1985-86 during the debate over overhauling the tax code. The Reagan administration let plenty of Congressmen and Senators put their "stamp" on tax reform, but always had its own ideas on the table -- and had hard bottom lines for what the President would and would not accept. At the end, the issue was whether Congressmen and Senators were for or against reform, not how they felt about bits and pieces of it.
Obama still has time to get to this position. I'm hoping he's able to, because though I'm dubious about some health care reform ideas in play now I don't think doing nothing gets us anywhere. However, he and his team really need to change the way they've approached the task of getting this bill through Congress. They have to be the ones defining what "reform" means, and they're not doing it.
It may seem counter-intuitive, but the further reform moves in the direction of single-payer, the cheaper healthcare will be.
Kent Conrad may be a corrupt, disingenuous douchebag, but why are reform proponents making his case for him with their talk of subsidies, financial assistance and (OMG)one-trillion over ten years.
Taking the major facets of healthcare away from private insurers will be cheaper for everyone, even teabagging nutballs and rifle-toting tinydicks.
Somebody help me here because I'm lost. Why is it that the SFC bill is considered "the" bill when there are already 4 bills that contain a public option? Isn't the SFC bill the outlier?
As someone said this weekend the Democratic bill - public option = RomneyCare.
We got boozers for leaders
Giving the Gang of Six all of August to control the Washington dialog for healthcare,
was equivalent in brilliance to...
disbanding the Iraqi Army after Sadam's fall.
Conrad, Bauchus, Lieberman and their "Kind" are part of our SENATE problem, not the solution.
IF the majority Dems in both houses & the Dem President FAIL to pass REAL Health Care Reform, You can forget selling the idea that the Republican obstructionists caused us to fail.
Time will tell whether the "Special Interest" $$$$$$ made them IGNORE our interests.
If they can't get on the Democratic unity train and support a REAL public option to stimulate competition within the Private sector, their chairmanships will disappear as well.
Opportunities for REAL change are rare.
I watched and EXPECTED the Bush administrations to disregard "Middle America". I never "DREAMED" I would EVER see a Democrat Senate operate in such a 2nd rate manner.
This Democratic Senate needs to CONFRONT those who Ignore our needs.
The idea that these "DEMS" have been allowed to conduct this Senate Finance Committee fiasco is outrageous.
Spending a hundred billion a year to provide health-care for all Americans (thus putting us in the same basic category with, you know, what every other developed nation in the world does for their people) is way way way too much.
After all, true health-care reform would help small businesses because owners wouldn't have to worry about out of control insurance costs or their workers having no coverage at ll. The many thousands of people each year that lose everything they have because they have the bad luck to fall gravely ill in the one "civilized" country in the world where health-care is not considered a right for all -- well -- tough luck there. If there was health-care reform, dammit, they'd still have some quality of life! We can't have that.
No. On the whole, a well-crafted health-care reform bill that clips the wings of insurance companies and forces them to be honest and in the process elevates the lives of hundreds of million of Americans (just by making those insurance companies treat them properly! without even signing on for that socialized crap the lefties want!) is just asking way too much.
After all, we have spent hundreds of billions of dollars already in Iraq alone -- for absolutely nothing. How well I recall these fiscal conservatives arguing over every penny.
I don't think there will be health-care reform in any meaningful way. I haven't thought so since our elected officials didn't properly ride the election momentum & get a vote in before recess.
(I especially enjoyed all the "what's the rush?" nonsense over legislation that has been discussed for more than hundred years now. Tell it to the folks who've lost everything while you elected officials dither & dance & mock everything America is supposed to stand for.)
>"Elected representatives respond to the views of the people that elected them".
At certain points in history, legislators must find the courage to step up consider what is good for the nation as a whole instead of their own careers.
Nobody reads 'Profiles in Courage' anymore. So 1960's.
Let's start a movement to take the Congress' healthcare away from them. Let them see what it feels like. If we can't do that, we need to "reform" it so that they have to pay the bulk of the cost and have a $10,000 deductible.
Of course, most of them are eligible for Medicare anyway, so we must additionally address term limits.
Conrad's making policy the same way my old girlfriend used to buy shoes. If a pair was marked down enough, she'd buy them, even if they hurt her feet, looked like crap, and didn't last.
If you are interested in health care insurance you MUST hear Today's Fresh Air (npr) (after 3pm edt)
The text is available now.
TR Reid has written The Healing of America. Terry Gross interviews. He describes his experiences with health care in the many countries he's lived in and compares.
Tell me again why everyone was so concerned about the brain aneuryism Senator Conrad (R - ND) suffered last year??
Zathras: your analysis is dead-on. Unfortunately. But definitely dead-on accurate.
By the way - anyone wanting to read what is really going on in Congress about health care reform should definitely pick up the current issue of Rolling Stone and read Matt Taibbi's excellent article on the subject.
Big news: the "employer mandate" will not have any requirements for a minimum level of services provided. And if your employer offers a healthcare plan - no matter how craptacular - you will not be able to "opt out" and get insurance from the "public option" or any of the supposed other alternatives. If you opt out of your employer's crappy insurance, you will be one of those who can't get insurance and will get hounded by the IRS with a hefty tax penalty.
We'd best get ready for the fact that what the Dimocrats are about to try and bamboozle us with will be worse than what exists now.
Thank God I have the VA and by the time this crap becomes the law, my wife will have Medicare. But I do feel sorry for everyone else, particularly those who - like me - thought we really were getting "change we can believe in" and worked our asses off for these scum last year. I regret every penny I raised now.
I'd like to have it all, too, but let's at least recognize that even the types of "cheaper" reforms being proposed by the gang of six would be a HUGE improvement over the situation we have now. A $10,000 per family out-of-pocket limit would prety much protect everyone from losing their homes and falling into debt for life, or simply not getting adequate care, in cases of major medical needs. This would eliminate the great bulk of the "horror stories" we hear about.
I'm still hoping for something more comprehensive and with a public option, but let's at least recognize that high-deductable coverage with an out-of-pocket limit would be way, way better than nothing. It would also be a means of establishing universal coverage, which could then be improved and expanded over time.
Bauchus & Conrad supported the $700 Billion "SWEETHEART" Bush Medicare Drug plan in 2003 & found no problem with supporting the Bush Taxcuts for the higher income Americans thru reconciliation.
I know the problem These DEMS think they are Republicans !
These are the "LEADERS" of Health Care REFORM?
If this fiasco turns out the way it is heading, I won't vote for ANYONE again !
Middle America gets the SHAFT no matter who wins !
The Prez better get some NEW advisors, they must be smoking something illegal !
Ok. I know you DC types have this all figured out, but in 2008, Obama/Biden recieved about 69,500,000 votes. Obama campaigned across the country, and as we all know, won and did well from north to south, east to west, black, white, blah blah, blah... His campaign was pretty clear, and their goals were pretty clearly stated. People raised the points of the health care plan they proposed, and oh, did I mention, 69 million people voted for him.
IN THE AGGREGATE - "the gang of six" in their last elections, accumulated about 2.1 million votes, or 3 % of Obama/Biden total. As has been pointed out, they are from small states, and ALL had cakewalk re-elections. All, I might add, are white, and remarkably out of touch with the rest of the country, having become enthroned as senators for life. All but one come from states that are ethnically, culturally, and economically unrepresentative of the country as a whole. All from heavy ag or resource based states [4 with lots of oil/gas, for exa].
1. Why are we listening to any of these 6 at this point ? I know things ain't what they used to be, where a prez. could knock some heads, make some deals, as would the majority leader, etc. etc etc ... but there must be some way to get around them.
2. Can't the Obama people capitalize better on these numbers ? Talk Harry Reid into facing facts - and sweet talk him into a nice retirement if he is in trouble anyway, and get him to lead or get out of the way? Someone ? Anyone? Schumer? Waxman?
Tell me again why everyone was so concerned about the brain aneuryism Senator Conrad (R - ND) suffered last year??
Although Conrad's behavior occasionally suggests a complete neurological workup is in order, it was neighboring Sen. Tim Johnson (D-SD) who was stricken....
North Dakotans hate the public option and 94% of people are insured. They also have co-ops and even a locally owned not-for-profit hospital (full disclosure: I go to the other place). So there's a reason Conrad is like this, but the pressure should be kept on!
How has the finance committee elevated Republicans like Enzi, Grassley, Kyl, and Snowe, and shut Democrats like Schumer, Stabenow, Cantwell and Menendez out?
In a national healthcare debate, with all due respect to our 800,000 friends from North Dakota, who gives a rats a** if they don't like a public option.

If there's an industrial wasteland anywhere near where a great European city hits the water - London, Berlin, Amsterdam, you name it - it's slated for a major makeover. Derelict areas on the wrong side of the river - what we might call "the wrong side of the tracks" - are being rejuvenated with modern buildings and fresh greenery. My pick for one of Europe's most impressive urban overhauls is London's Docklands. In the early 1800s, the Docklands was the home port of "the empire upon which the sun never set" - so it became the world's leading harbour. But after being destroyed by Nazi bombers during the Second World War, the Docklands struggled and declined. Several decades later, investors realized the area was ripe for redevelopment, construction took off, and the neighbourhood called Canary Wharf was born.
Obviously, cruising is No. 1 on my travel hit parade. However, there remains a passion from my preteen years for trains in particular and travel in general. So, my curiosity was piqued by a New York Times travel story published in January entitled: 52 Places to go in 2015. It was filled with familiar places as well as up-andcoming areas.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of things to do and places to visit in this country.

A farmer was turning the soil in his field with two oxen yoked to a plow; a flock of seagulls flapped behind. The landscape was a soft, rolling green, dotted with fluffy sheep and yellow gorse. This was Chiloe (pronounced chill-oh-AY) Island, and it felt like I had stepped a century back in time.

Iceland's oddness begins with the fact that 85 per cent of the country is totally inaccessible by any form of transportation (the local car rental agency is named, appropriately, Sadcars), meaning the most anyone can see of it is a very thin strip around the outermost edge - and what you can see looks as if it's straight out of a fantasy novel.
When it comes to cruising, Claudius Docekal is a knowit-all. And that's a good thing. I can't think of anyone who knows more about the ports of the world and, as a result, for many years he has been my go-to guy when it comes to research on cruise ports.
