Unbelievable storm surge..these Chicago guys will do anything..can't debate so change the weather
I have no prediction as to whether Axelrod will lose his mustache or not (though betting it on keeping all three is like giving odds, especially given the whiteness of those states and that only about a third of white people identify as Obama supporters in polls).
I will say that I'm as unimpressed by a Presidential response to a hurricane as I was by the hurricane itself (and I live right in the middle of the East Coast and saw it firsthand). It's like 9/11, which, though I supported invading Afghanistan, did not improve my underlying opinion of George W. Bush. Before the storm, I didn't plan to repeat my 2008 vote for Obama, and the storm has changed nothing.
You baited me: tried looking up the bets for Axelrod's mustache on InTrade, didn't see any results.
Is it just me, or does Romney look like a community organizer in the photo accompanying this post?
So who is The Economist going to endorse?
Time was, you could access new edition a few hours early, just by typing in the right URL. Now the website admins have got wise to this, you get "Access Denied" if you are not an authorised user.
My guess is that there will be no endorsement. They like Romney but have reservations about his fantasy budgets, the promise to do away with the Affordable Care act and the promise to start a trade war with China. They feel Obama has been a disappointment, although they approve of the Affordable Care act.
"It is hard not to feel a twinge of sympathy for Mr Romney."
Absolute concurrence, but I remind myself that if the roles were somehow reversed, the Romney followers, per Rove's advice would give no quarter. Indeed, part of me remains astounded that Gov. Christie was able to say nice things about the president's handling of relief for Sandy.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back outside...
Ohio draws presidential candidates back for visits; Obama, Romney back in state on Friday
Eat your hearts out you solid color states.
New polls show President Obama tied or slightly ahead in Ohio, Sherrod Brown doing better
10/31/12 2:41pm
Several polls released over the past few days suggest Obama is ahead, although still within the margin of error in several of the surveys.
So, the latest public polls:
The Ohio Poll: Just released, showing Obama ahead, 48-46, within the margin of error -- or "up for grabs," as the pollster puts it. The poll was conducted by the University of Cincinnati's Institute for Policy Research, which also did the recent Ohio Newspaper Poll that showed the presidential race tied.
CBS/New York Times/Quinnipiac: Obama leads by five points, 50-45. This is unchanged from a week ago. Obama has a big lead among women -- 17 points -- while Romney is ahead by six points with men.
Rasmussen Reports: Romney is winning by two points, 50-48, so close as to be considered a toss-up. The margin of error is 4 percentage points.
Survey USA: Obama is ahead, 48-45, but the poll has a 4.1 percent margin of error.
Each of these polls covered a period through Sunday, although Survey USA also included Monday. If you take all public polling from Oct. 23 through Oct. 29th, the average puts Obama ahead of Romney by 2.3 points, according to Real Clear Politics. Click any of these links to see the polls, cross tabs and pollster analyses.
It is hard to watch his stupid clown smile face when people are in desperate need of so much help right now. He feels nothing for these people, it is like he came out of a pod. Hey look at me in my clean pressed $300 shirt picking up a box of bath tissue while these poor people have not a shower or a change of clothes in days. They are wet cold and living in the dark. Ken and Barbie don't make you feel warm unless they are under a Christmas Tree. Stay out of the I care about anyone but myself business at the moment. Go Home
No need to refer to Romney as a "stupid clown". Indeed, he has demonstrated a tenacity and alacrity in his single-minded pursuit of the presidency. Although his party's positions are horrid, I cannot fault the man's intellect or ability in achieving a personal goal.

Mr. Romney and his storm releif effort seem to show that the Red Cross has an effective system and knows what it is doing - and can do better than the high-visibility efforts of politicians.
So allthough there *are* limits to private charity, this little episode doesn't show it. Quite the reverse.
"the Red Cross has an effective system and knows what it is doing - and can do better than the high-visibility efforts of politicians."
I'm confused. Do you mean sending in the National Guard to rescue the stranded, pre-positioning emergency supplies and vehicles from FEMA, or deploying over half a dozen temporary FEMA hospitals. Which of these was inarguably trumped by unwanted donations of canned goods to the Red Cross?
I can't see TE endorsing Obama. Either Romey or nobody. If it's Romney, the Democrats here who swear Obama is center-right (which would make Bill Clinton far-right) will be up in arms. If it's Obama, the Republicans here who swear Obama is a socialist (which would make Nixon a commie) will be up in arms. If it's nobody, we'll all be up in arms.
"I can't see TE endorsing Obama."
Why not? The economy has improved since his inauguration, and US military adventurism is down in terms of boots on the ground and expenditure.
where is the # of boots down? He took 50K troops out of Iraq and placed them in Afghanistan and oh by the way we still have over 20K troops on the border of Iraq exclusive of our fleet. Economy improved? You must have a threshod way weaker than me. Corporations are sitting on billions in cash because of Obama's policies, the only jobs now are lower level positions..Obama said he'll reduce our troops out of Afghanistan what jobs will they have when come back to the US? Improved marginally, and this administration has no plans for the future if they did we'd already see the light at the end of the tunnel. He's had 4 years there's no more excuses. I am curious though if Obama does get reelected what excuse will he have for the economy not getting back on track? My tea leaves say "this is a global slowdown and no one can right this ship in just 8 years." put it on your calendar..
Well now you can read the most tepid endorsement of Obama ever and I agree with most of it. Until the last sentence, you'd think it was an endorsement of Romney or a case for impeaching Obama.
A tepid 4 or 8 years beats a return to the policies that led to the global financial meltdown in September 2008. As for corporations and banks sitting on cash, your argument should be with their respective boards of directors, which, despite right-wing fearmongering, are still private entities. At a time when corporate profits are at an all time high and tax rates at an all time low, if you observe a crappy overall economy, it might be time to wonder if Reaganomics isn't exactly what Bush (the smart one) called "voodoo economics."
Maybe it might be time to wonder whether big government and big business aren't opposites at all.
The endorsement is coming tomorrow. I know it's been decided, but please, please be either Obama or none of the above. I could respect a Jon Huntsman or Mitch Daniels endorsement, but a lunatic GOP house and Mitt Romney is too much to handle.
I'd be very amused if they endorsed Gary Johnson.
The "Spinning" referenced in the title reminded me that this year we must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom.
I think the distinguished Kang said twirling towards "victory."
Thank you for your usual insightful analysis into what the public thinks of the candidates' manoeuvres. I don't know how we'd ever form an opinion, if we didn't have people like you to tell us what opinion we'd formed.
A week from today about half of the eligible voters in America will vote for President, more a civic duty than a cherished right -much less a personal tool to manage public policy- these days.
And once again the choice is such that there is little choice.
Two years ago I wrote "Obama will get his second term.And why shouldn´t he? W Bush did." I think that stands true today, unfortunately.
The Republican party seems to have descended to an intellectual stage in which a reasonable, open-minded person is called a RINO. But appearances are misleading.Trojan Horse Obama, the grounded public servant elevated by Wall Street to help them survive the storm that starting in 2007 broke out just in time in the fall of 2008, is in fact a DINO.
A DINO I am endorsing right now, but only because the alternative, Romney The Contortionist, is not up to the job:a good salesman, but not a statesman.Private sector success and public leadership ability come from two very different, and often incompatible,sets of personal characteristics.That´s why there never was a President Sam Walton, a Madame la President Bettancourt or a Prime Minister Lord Westminster or Sir Richard Branson.
How can we judge a President´s(or a Governor´s) performance? A set of numerically expressed metrics issued by trustworthy sources seem like the best way.That could be devised and put in practice right now, but it hasn´t even been put forward as a proposal.
Reagan asked "Are you better off today than four years ago?" and indeed that´s one key variable we could take a look at right now:Real(in 2011 constant dollars) per capita income at the beginning and end of each administration, taken from the year tables of the US census.Here are the results I calculated yesterday:
Change in pci in each administration:
NIXON: Increased by 22%
(includes last two years by Ford because numbers and trends did not change, even the 1973 oil shock had very minor impact in pci)
CARTER: Increased by 7%
(he only served 4 years, thus 14% if you want to compare to two-termers)
REAGAN: Increased by 18%
BUSH Sr.: DECREASED by 2.3%
(That´s -4.6% on two term basis)
CLINTON: Increased by 25%
BUSH Jr.: DECREASED by 3.5%
OBAMA: DECREASED by 2.2%
(That´s -4.4% on two term basis)
Self explanatory numbers. Carter was not the great failure we were sold, he performed only 28% worse than Reagan.Clinton was the best of them all, a true national asset-and yet he was very unfairly treated.Nixon is the second hero of this story.Cut a few legal corners, but compared to Weapons of Mass Deception Bush Jr, Nixon was almost a saint.He did outperform Reagan by 18%, and in far more dangerous times.No wonder Buchanan reminisces about his former boss so much.
Bush Sr was a menace.Thank you Ross Perot for your services.
There is something in the name Bush that calls for Unmitigated Disaster.Must be dark magic. Dubya and his Mess-up gang.I would really recommend not eating any product with the word "Poison" on its label nor voting for any politician who writes the word "Bush" after his given name.
And the winner for the worst performance in 44 years is...Barack Obama.
Actually he is neck and neck with Bush Jr.´s first term.The little, dirty and untold story is that, previously to the 2007-8 collapse, there were a couple of good years(2005 and 2006)but the period 2000-2004 saw a pci decrease of 2.6%, worse than Obama, although unconscionably buried at the time. PCI went from 188% of the 1968 level in 2000 to 183 in 2004(It is at 178 now, a more than 6% drop from the 2006 high).His skull and bones pal gave Jr. a chance the country did not deserve.
A second variable to look at is the distribution of income gained or-as of lately- lost by people of each of the five 20% income groups(quintiles) and, why not, the top 5%.The census figures just tell you the incomes for any given year, but I took a few minutes to calculate the percentage increase for their real income for each quintile at each Presidential interval.The results are, yes, "fascinating":
PRESIDENT: Lowest 20% income earners, 2nd 20%, 3rd, 4th, Top 5th earners...Top 5% highest incomes
BUSH Sr. - 2 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 ...- 0.7
BUSH Jr. - 8 - 6 - 4 - 2 - 3 ... -6
OBAMA - 8 - 4 - 5 - 3 nil ... + 1.4
Therefore Nixon was the last president under whom the poor fared as well as the rich.And they all had it good, by the way.Apparently the economy didn´t play favorites at the time.
The same is almost true for Carter, but the first signs of the erosion of the lowest 20% and the rise of the top 20% start, albeit slowly.None had it all that great by Nixonian standards, but by Bushian America standards they were in Paradise.
Under Reagan the middle class increased their income at a rate twice that of the poorest 20%.The richest 20% at three times the rate of the poorest 20%.The top 5% advanced 5 times faster than the bottom 20, and twice as fast as the middle class.But none of them saw Nixon-era kind of growth, except the top 5%.
Bush Sr... He just flunked.The lower middle class was especially hard hit. But again the top 20% lost only half what the poorest did, and one fourth what the lower middle class lost.The top 5% got off this Mess I somewhat better than the top 20%.
Clinton outperformed everyone in every bracket...except for the poorest 20%.Nixon did better for the poor.Under Clinton 80% of all Americans increased their income by the same amount of 18%.But again,the economy played favorites:the top 20% fared 77% better than the rest, and the top 5% fared 166% better than the bottom 80%.Not Reagan´s levels, though.
Then we have Mess II. An unmitigated disaster.Again almost three times as bad for the poorest 20% than for the richest 20% (-3.1% vs -8.8%)For the first time the top 5% had very significant losses.It´s the stock market effect.
Finally Trojan Horse Obama.Pretty much the bottom 80% of all Americans as ranked by income have fared under Obama even worse than under Bush Jr. But not the top 20%.The top 20% people have not lost a penny.As for the top 5%, they have actually managed to gain 1.4% even in the middle of this maelstrom.Please explain why is Obama considered a Democrat.
And thus while people are distracted by trivia, the underground forces that shape societies keep moving on.
Here are the numbers for what percentage of the total national income goes to each 20% starting with the bottom 20 all the way up to the top 20%, and finally the top 5%:
USA, in 1968: 4.2 11.1 17.6 24.2 43.6 17.2
USA, in 2011: 3.2 8.4 14.3 23 51.1 22.3
Change 68-11: -24% -24% -19% -1% +17% +30%
In this generation 80% of the people have lost ground relatively to the top 20%, and the top 5% have enhanced their position by 30%. Is this so bad? Let´s see
Chile,in 2008: 5.4 51.0
Mexico, 2006: 4.7 9.2 14.1 22 52.8
Nigeria, 2010: 4.4 8.3 13 20.3 54.0
The poor get a larger share of their national pie in Chile, Mexico or even Nigeria than in America.The top 20% are at comparative levels.In fact under current trends in just one more generation, the top 20% will have 60% of all income and the bottom 20% will have to make do with 2%.Those are Guatemalan civil war levels.Democracy is incompatible with such disparities simply because 20%-40% of all voters are so disadvantaged with respect to the rest that manipulating and using them at that point is easy, cheap and almost inevitable, being human nature what it is.
Obama is a mediocre candidate.Romney is even worse, but he played the wise trick of saving his salesman abilities for the very end, and this is why the campaign is far closer than expected.None of them deserve to be on their respective tickets, in my view.But leading public opinion is an art by now, and Obama will win the electoral college.
Now we´ll see if Trojan Horse Obama is Double Trojan Horse Obama and does something in his second term for the 80% of Americans who have had the short end of the stick since the Carter years.For the good of the 100%, actually.

If you believe Nixon's stewardship of the economy is admirable, you deserve price controls.
Price controls were supposed to be temporary.
What do you think happened when they were lifted?
The 90 day freeze turned into nearly 1,000 days of measures known as Phases One, Two, Three, and Four. The initial attempt to dampen inflation by calming inflationary expectations was a monumental failure.
Well within jvictor1789's "Nixon period" of using Real Per Capita Income.
Nice research jvictor1789!
It is been comical how much the Obama camp has to "remind us" that Obama is the president, and "how presidential" he looks. Its like back in 08, the never ending gloating about how Obama is a Harvard graduate. I wonder if they feel insecure about how Obama is perceived.
And just like the financial chaos in 08, the successful finish of that 07 strategy to catch OBL, the saving of his convention by bill Clinton, now sandy shows up as another last minute thing to save the savior. The guy is really lucky. He never has to lift a finger.
Worth noting: the CEOs of Chrysler and GM are publicly denouncing the Ohio Romney ads about the auto bailout. (That Jeep is closing Ohio plants to move those jobs to China, which is not a thing: it's expanding in both OH and China, which are allowed to ship different places. And that if GM hadn't gone through the bankruptcy and bailout all the jobs it had in 2007 would still be there.)
This was a dumb move by him.
Obama ad vs. Romney ad is a null. They cancel eachother out and people don't pay attention to commercials anyway.
Obama ad vs. Romney ad + Auto exec denouncing Romney as reported by the local news. That is a win for Obama.
You get the distinct feeling that Romney hasn't made the intellectual jump, deep down, from the days when he could tell a room full of people anything at all, secure in the knowledge that none of them would be talking to anyone he might say something different to the next day. Which leaves him vulnerable to surprises that anyone with a different background would know were coming -- people bringing up videos of hims saying one thing, and then saying the exact opposite.
It's more devistating than anything your opponents could say about you, having your own words thrown up to refute your current position. Ann experienced politician, or oplitical operative, would know instinctively not to set himself up like that. But apparently nobody in the Romney campaign figured it out.
"This was a dumb move by him."
For someone so capable, he sure does do a lot of dumb things. I wonder what other dumb things a quite capable President Romney would do.
Anecdotally, the spammers at 538 posting "Golly gee whiz Nate, have you considered" queries have suddenly turned to the Bradley Effect just as Romney announces confidence in the midwest. Either:
a) None of these people is capable of doing a search on "Nate Silver Bradley Effect" even though they have an internet right there
b) It's part of the "polls are wrong and overstate Obama support" image crafting
"The response was as stony and unsatisfactory as you would expect"
because Axelrod is a repugnant snake oil salesman.
Not true! No one in the administration has that kind of private sector experience.
"because Axelrod is a repugnant snake oil salesman."
Fortunately, the GOP offsets this by the cheery, good-natured, and civil politicking of Karl Rove and company.
So, the Red cross asks for money, since they can use it to purchase supplies and move them to where they are most needed much more efficiently than if they are simply handed stuff.
Romney takes $5,000 and goes to walmart, buys a pile of stuff, then gives it to his supporters, to give back to him, so he can give it to the red cross, so that he can appear charitable.
What a jackass.
"Hey Paul, remember when you went to that homeless shelter that didn't want you, washed a pan that was already clean, then got upset when they didn't thank you for it?"
"Sure, Mitt, that was great fun!"
"lets do it again, but with more cameras!"
Question for the writers; Does a narrow win by Obama mean anything substantively in terms of american policy going forward? If they don't win decisively is there any reason to believe that their policy objectives have a chance of bein achieved?
Yes, because the Republican strategy for Obama's first term was explicitly to prevent him from being effective in order to block his reelection.
An Obama second term would no longer have that objective. A failing Obama wouldn't have a good effect on the 2016 democrat but it wouldn't doom them either. Furthermore, the president will get most of his objectives by fiat if the Republicans don't negotiate. He can twiddle his thumbs and the Bush tax cuts will repeal themselves, no congress needed. So they negotiate or they lose everything.
It's a much stronger position.
It also means the potential opportunity to nominate several Supreme Court Justices. Ginsberg, Breyer, Scalia, and Kennedy are all in their 70's.
The president could take 95% of the popular vote and Republicans would claim he didn't have a mandate because 5%. There is literally no level of support that would cause them to start governing. Losing seats in the Senate and House is the only thing that will do it.
Yes, I really don't care what 95 percent of people think. You still may not violate the Constitution.
No, with 95% we can re-write the constitution entirely. Bwahahahaha!
Excellent point. Farewell electoral college!
A 95% majority on any topic is fantasy, especially given that 15% of the population at any given time is insane.
15 percent of the population can't do math, and that's a majority.

Report Bugs
(Sorry for the inconvenience)
Have you found a bug in PC-BSD? If so, please take the time to read through this section to ensure that your bug gets reported to the correct group and is resolved in a timely fashion.
First, determine the type of bug that you are encountering. Is it a bug that is preventing you from properly installing and running PC-BSD (a system bug), or is it an issue with an installed software package such as FireFox (an application bug)?
An application bug can fall into a few different categories.
Contents |
Application Packaging Bug
The first is a packaging bug, which is when you can not install the application or it simply crashes on startup. Please report these types of bugs by logging into the txt=Missing Link[1] and clicking New Ticket. In the Type drop-down menu select "PBI Packaging Bug" and select the operating system version you are using in the Version drop-down menu. Use descriptive words in the Summary. In the Description, provide as much detail as possible about the bug, such as:
- the name of the program
- the architecture you are using (32-bit or 64-bit)
- a detailed description of the bug, including any error messages and which commands or menus you used to generate the error
If you would like to include a screenshot of the error or a log that includes error messages, check the box "I have files to attach to this ticket" to browse to the location of the attachment. Use the Preview button to read through your ticket to make sure that the information is clear to the person who will resolve the issue. When finished, click the Create ticket button to submit your bug report.
Application Runtime Bug
An application runtime bug occurs when an application installs and is able to start successfully, but during use, it crashes or displays some other type of undesired behavior. An example would be OpenOffice failing to import a type of document properly or a chat client unable to keep a connection to a network. These types of bugs are best reported to the developers of the application. The best way to locate them is by searching for your application in AppCafe®, then clicking the hyperlink for the vendor (underneath the application name and icon). Most software sites have a bug report link or another way to contact the original developer to report your issue.
System Driver Bugs
A system bug is any bug which prevents the initial installation of PC-BSD or issues with hardware. Some examples would be a non-bootable system, failed installation, missing drivers for your hardware, or a non-functional desktop after installation. To report this type of issue, please follow the instructions below for your type of system bug.
An example of a system driver bug would be a missing network driver, no sound output, or no disk drives detected. Most of these types of issues are directly related to the FreeBSD base upon which PC-BSD is built, and are best fixed by discussing them with the FreeBSD team directly. Reporting a bug to FreeBSD can be done using the txt=Missing Link[2] page. You should also search the FreeBSD mailing lists as other users may have already discovered the bug or have a work-around for your particular hardware. Below are some of the related mailing lists:
- txt=Missing Link[3]: for power management and ACPI development.
- txt=Missing Link[4]: place to discuss Linux, VirtualBox, Wine and Linux Flash plugin support.
- txt=Missing Link[5]: for sound drivers and multimedia applications.
- txt=Missing Link[6]: for USB support and development.
- txt=Missing Link[7]: for Xorg and video drivers and development.
System Installation Bugs
Any bugs encountered during the installation routine of PC-BSD should be reported to the txt=Missing Link[8], with as much detail as possible, including:
- PC-BSD version and architecture
- hardware information, disk sizes, amount of RAM and CPU
- specific installation notes such as any non-standard features chosen or a custom disk layout
- information in the "more details" box of the installation failed dialog box
Other System Bugs
Please report any bugs with HAL or external USB disk mounting using the instructions in the txt=Missing Link[9]. Report issues specific to running the KDE desktop to the txt=Missing Link[10].

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Aventinus, the Wheat Doppelbock of Bavaria, has always been known to be the most intense and complex wheat beer in the world. This was the case for the past sixty years, but not anymore... Up until the 1940s, Aventinus was shipped all over Bavaria in containers lacking temperature control. Consequently, the precious drink partially froze during transportation. Unaware that the brew was concentrated by the separation of water from the liquid. People were baffled by this unique version of Aventinus. By chance, the first Aventinus Eisbock was created. Well aware of this story, Hans Peter Drexler, brewmaster of the Schneider brewery, decided to recreate this classic "mistake" in a modern controlled facility. Thus, the Aventinus Eisbock is reborn sixty years later ... Prost!

Contrary to earlier reports, a new study finds that stress does not appear to increase a person's risk of developing multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study published today in Neurology.
Researchers studied 2 groups of female nurses from the Nurses' Health Study. The first study started in 1976 and followed 121,700 nurses between the ages of 30 and 55. The second study started in 1989 and followed 116,671 nurses between the ages of 25 and 42. Participants reported general stress at home and at work, including physical and sexual abuse in childhood and as teenagers. Of the first group, 77 people developed MS by 2005. In the second group, 292 people developed the disease by 2004.
"The risk of MS is particularly high among young women, and the difference in the number of cases is consistent with the different ages of women in the two groups at the beginning of the MS follow-up," said study author Trond Riise, PhD.
After considering factors such as age, ethnicity, latitude of birth, body mass at age 18, and smoking, the study found that severe stress at home did not increase the risk of developing MS. There also was no significant increased risk in developing MS among those who reported severe physical or sexual abuse during childhood or adolescence.
"This rules out stress as a major risk factor for MS. Future research can now focus on repeated and more fine-tuned measures of stress," said Riise.

Progressive+ Calf Sleeves Customer Reviews
Write a Review (based on 41 reviews)
By Annabel
Great Product! -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI ordered the first pair as a Christmas gift for my brother and he liked them so much I decided to treat myself to a pair. They look great, don't move once on and most importantly I've noticed a definite increase in my recovery time. They wash well and I would definitely recommend them. Please make a purple pair!
By Jeanette
Love these Sleeves -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesWas having problems with shin splints and sore muscles. A friend recommended these sleeves and I've been pain free ever since....jogging up to 8 miles without a problem.
By brian
You Saved Me -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesFor the last 4 or so months, I have pulled my calves several times at Crossfit either running or jumping rope. Finally, I bought these compression sleeves. I have been using them for a month and I was able to complete all of the exercises while I had an injured calf and have not re-injured it either. I own 2 pairs just for variety.
By Thomas
Gym Rat -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI'm enjoying my calve sleeves in the gym. I have them on when I'm on leg day. It's a great edition to my gear I will continue to use them and believe and feel this product helps me while box squatting,lunges,leg pressing.
By Marlon
Awesome Product!!! -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesFirst I was hesitant to get one because I have been running a lot of half marathon and do a 10- 15 mile run every weekend so I felt I never needed one. But As I was training for my first full marathon i really felt the vibration on my calf that ended up with a cramp all the way to my quads. So decided to get one because of its great reviews may be it might work for me also, so i started wearing them on my long runs 10+ mile and I was amazed how they work for me, I never felt any vibration on my calf muscles. Oh yeah I wore them on my first 26.2 mile, again best thing out there.
By arreis33
Excellent Product!!! -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesHaving torn my Achilles tendon and had multiple calf tears, I was looking for a product that would help prevent these issues. I am please to say that these sleeves are excellent act protecting my calves and Achilles while helping to speed up warmup and recovery time. My legs always feel fresh and ready to go. They work excellent for running and all kinds of dynamic exercises for sport training.
By Angela
Great for Me -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI do not run in races, but I run around town and up railroad tracks, bike, play tennis, dance, fitness trampoline, you name it. I use these sleeves any time I run or jump and other times if my legs fill fatigued. My only complaint is with the logo embroidered on the front of each sleeve. I had surgery on both legs and the logo irritates the front of one leg if I wear them too long. I have had my current pair 1.5 years and they are still working for me. I am about to order a new pair for my more serious workouts. I need pink.
By Stefanie
Love my CEPs -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesCurrently in training for my first half marathon, and felt a slight tinge of shin splints returning (stupidly I never bought a pair of compression sleeves last year, and the shin splints stuck around for about 6 months! ugh) Unwilling to make the same mistake again, I decided to purchase a pair of CEPs to keep from being sidelined at all during my training this time around. They work amazing, and the shin splints have NOT returned! I feel minimal soreness in my calves even after my long runs, and can't wait to see how they do on race day. I will be purchasing a 2nd pair soon!
By Kelly
Glad to Have Them -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesI love my CEP compression sleeves, I hate taking them off! My calf pain is almost gone, and it's just minimal as it is since wearing these. And I love the blue color!
By WIL
Pain and Cramp Free -
Comments about Progressive+ Calf SleevesDurable, stylish and mostly importantly, effective. Good for during and post runs. Ordering another pair today.

If the stress in your life is more than you can cope with, get help right away.
I had dinner with friends on Saturday, including a close friend whom I had not seen in some time. He told a complicated medical story. Every several months, he would miss a few days of work with a nagging upper respiratory infection. He wasn't sleeping. He wasn't exercising and had gained weight, and that resulted in some major changes in his thyroid medication. He felt miserable, especially on Sundays when he thought about returning to work on Monday. He was worried and puzzled by his declining health.
Some background — ten years ago my friend landed his dream job. He became the certified public accountant for a small manufacturing company making high-end countertops that could easily be sterilized. The market initially was kitchens and restaurants, but the product also took off among dental, medical and veterinary offices because it was easy to clean and keep germ-free. The company's yearly revenue jumped from $6 to $24 million, and yet my friend was given no help. The situation became more complicated when the company opened two additional plants in different states. My friend had to learn a bewildering number of regulatory, compliance and revenue issues.
As we talked, the connection between my friend's symptoms and his work situation became clear. We brainstormed some options and how he might discuss them with senior management. Until we talked, my friend hadn't recognized that his illnesses were connected to stress at work. Nor did he realize that his weight gain was related to stress.
A pleasant dinner with friends provided an important reminder for me of why it's so important to have a support network. We all need people who care about us and can help us get back on track when we've lost our way.

Placer County is a scenic, historic, and vibrant community, stretching from the breathtaking vistas of Lake Tahoe down through the verdant foothills of the Sierra Nevada to the lush Sacramento Valley. Home to the Western States Endurance Run, and host to the 2013 Ironman Lake Tahoe triathlon, Placer County offers many activities to its residents and visitors including rafting, wine tasting, fine dining, shopping, hiking, and discovering Placer County's fascinating Gold Rush history at one of our 6 museums. Our County is financially sound, with a strong infrastructure and a fiscally conservative Board of Supervisors.
About Placer County
Placer County was created in 1851, just two years after the discovery of gold brought thousands of 49ers across the Sierra in search of fortune. The county took its name from the Spanish word for sand and gravel deposits that contain gold. Today, Placer County has more than 320,000 residents, and a county government with more than 20 departments and approximately 3,000 employees. County government touches the lives of residents in many ways, whether they live in local cities or unincorporated areas.
Placer County has five incorporated cities- Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Auburn and Colfax- and an incorporated town, Loomis. Each is responsible for providing municipal services that typically include police, fire protection, road construction, parks, and land-use planning. The county provides many of these same municipal services for residents who live in unincorporated areas as diverse as Granite Bay, the foothills beyond Auburn and the high Sierra communities of North Lake Tahoe.
The county also offers many services that cities do not and makes them available to everyone in the county, including people who live within cities. Many health services fall into that category, as do restaurant inspections, aid to needy families, support for veterans, child-support services, child protective services and child abuse prevention.
The role of CEO
The County Executive Officer is the chief administrative officer of the County. Appointed by the Board, the County Executive is responsible to the Board of Supervisors for the proper and efficient administration of the affairs of the County as prescribed in the County Charter and by formal action of the Board.
Subject to Board confirmation, the CEO selects all appointive department heads, with the exception of the County Counsel (Board appointee) and the Personnel Director (Civil Service Commission appointee). Voters choose six elected officials: Assessor, Auditor-Controller, County Clerk-Recorder-Registrar, District Attorney, Sheriff-Coroner-Marshall and Treasurer-Tax Collector.
More about David Boesch
David Boesch began as County Executive Officer in June 2012. Prior to coming to Placer County, he most recently served as the county officer for San Mateo County in the San Francisco Bay Area. He earned degrees in urban planning and public administration, and worked in community and economic development in New Hampshire before heading for California where he served as a department head in Sunnyvale, city manager in Menlo Park and then county manager in San Mateo County.
He enjoys working at the local government level because it makes a difference in the lives of residents on a daily basis. County government has always been particularly appealing to him because it provides a broad range of services that impact the health, safety and well-being of residents.
As Placer County's CEO, my top priority is providing leadership and using my experience to help the County build upon the strong foundation already in place. I believe Placer County has done an outstanding job handling the challenges created by the economic slowdown and state budget crisis. I will work to keep costs and revenue in balance, complete projects that have been deferred because of budget constraints, and continue promoting a stronger County and more innovative organization that provides high-quality services and has a clear vision of the future.
Economic Development: As the economy gradually emerges from the recession, the County is partnering with local and regional efforts to promote business investment and job growth.
Priority Based Budgeting: A phased implementation approach focusing on increasing public communication and transparency, and prioritizing services and programs based on results and within the sustainable level of ongoing funding and resources.
Employee Engagement: Excellent and innovative service delivery relies upon employees that are highly motivated and connected with the residents and communities we proudly serve.
Support and implement Board policies and priorities, provide organizational direction and leadership, coordinate strategic and regional planning efforts, and foster efficient and effective management of county workforce and activities. Provide emergency response capability, disaster recovery and response, public safety and fire protection.
The Placer County Executive Office operates a satellite office in Lake Tahoe. This office is responsible for providing many services for Tahoe residents, visitors, and local businesses. The County Executive Office at Tahoe also provides assistance on a variety of projects and programs in the Tahoe area, including those led by other county departments, such as the Department of Public Works, Community Development Resources Agency, Facility Services, and the Successor Agency. +more
The Tahoe CEO office is managed by Jennifer Merchant, Deputy CEO-Tahoe.
The County Executive Office in Tahoe is tasked with developing and managing an annual contract with the North Lake Tahoe Resort Association for the provision of tourism-related services. The contract calls for implementation of annual marketing plans, visitor information services, and development of recommendations to the county on transit and other visitor-serving infrastructure projects. The contract is funded with a portion of the Transient Occupancy Tax collected in eastern Placer County.
In addition, the Tahoe office manages projects, programs and other issues with external agencies in the Tahoe area. This includes regular interface with local government elected officials and key staff, as well as those with state, federal and regional agencies, such as the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency(TRPA).
The County Executive Office in Tahoe is currently overseeing a partnership with TRPA on significant public outreach and development of TRPA's 20-year Regional Plan update. Placer County, through the Tahoe CEO, is engaged with TRPA on the more broad regional planning components, but is also leading a community-specific public input effort called Place-Based Planning. Through multiple community vision sessions last summer, residents were able to share their vision for maintaining community character as the Regional Plan is implemented. The sessions are documented at http://www.regionalplanningpartners.com. This information will not only inform the Regional Plan, but is being utilized to create criteria for Demonstration Projects—downtown infill projects that will implement the community vision and are catalysts for significant environmental, quality of life and economic improvements.

Hi Dave,
Just following up on our chat at Merstham regarding programming PIC's, and control, of a RC robotic fish.
I've been doing some hunting around and came up with the following links-
A chip which interfaces with a OOPIC to control speed and position of upto eight servos (need four servos for a fish)-
To obtain a realistic undualting wave swimming motion requires the servo's to be positioned with reasonable accuracy, but also for them to be timed from position A-B. The above chip achieves this with minimal load on the microprocessor.
A coprocessor to deal with incoming PWM signals from the receiver. Takes the weight off the PIC chip- not sure if this is necessary or not-
OOPIC chips. These are PIC's that used object oriented programming. They can be programmed in BASIC, C or Java.
As such they look a lot simpler than conventional PIC's to program, and are well developed for robotics applications-
These are the servo's I thought most suitable for the fish, as they're designed for robotics.
More information on robotic fish here-
Lots of downloadable PDF files there, with plenty of interesting information.
I've seen these fish in action at the London Aquarium, and they're very impressive indeed.
