Another day, another No. 3 hitter -- and a perfect example of why building a new stadium here without a roof is a bad idea.
It was 70 degrees Friday. Today? It's 42 degrees and has been drizzling most of the morning.
Talking to one of the Angels this morning about the Twins' move next season and he joked that one of the first things he'll check when the 2010 schedule comes out is how early in the year the Angels will visit Minnesota.
"Better be June or July," he said.
No roster moves today though the Angels are likely to shuffle the pitching staff again before the homestand starts Tuesday. Today's lineups:

The best stay ever
It's all about the view!It's all about the view!
Simply Amazing!
The house was really clean and the property is well maintained, the kitchen is perfect for entertaining and well equipped, we had lots of fun preparing dinner. The wooden rocking chairs in the main balcony are perfect to enjoy the views as well. We found everything we needed and more. We truly wished we could have stayed longer. I really recommend this house to anyone who is looking to get away from it all, loves to be one with nature and is willing to go the extra mile to have more privacy and freedom from the more commercial places. We had a unique experience and we hope to come back very soon!
Away from it all
Lovely setting, FALSE ADVERTISING
From the Owner
"You'll hear many stories about people that visit Costa Rica and experience an epiphany or an awakening. That's what happened to us. We began searching for land in Aug 2010 and found the Old Ceiba Tree lot. A year after beginning construction, the house is nearly finished. There is an energy that one can feel when you are there; it's indescribable but undeniable. Once you experience it, you'll be going back over and over."

From the Owner
"We designed the home to bring the outdoors and indoors together. There are floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors that open to lake and volacano views. The cool mountain breezes flow thoughout the home. The temperatures average about 75°F year round so no airconditioning is necessary. We get our pure crystal clear soft water from a mountain spring ('naciente') that is about 6km in the virgin cloud forest. At night the temperates typically drop about 10° and in December and January you might even need to put a fleece on to stay warm. Being on the edge of the Monteverde Cloud Forest, we get a lot of rain but if you wait an hour the weather will change and when the sun pops out be careful because you can get a sunburn even when the sky is overcast (ask Josie). Each room has a terrace facing the lake/volcano side of the house. We love to enjoy the unbelievable cooking of Emilce, the former owner of a restaurant in Fortuna (Vaca Muca). She has the ability to take just about anything that's in the refrigerator and turn it into a meal that you'll never forget. Our favorite is 'pescado al ajillo' (corbineta or tilapia filet sauteed in fresh garlic) served with home fries, mixed vegetables (be sure to ask for chaote, cauliflower and carrots) and 'patacas' (plantain chips). Be prepared to rise early to the sounds of howler monkeys that frequently spend the night in our guarumo tree (a favorite hangout for all kinds of monkeys and birds) or the cacaphony of our flock of loras (red-lored parrots) that reside in the remaining branches of the 500 year old giant Ceiba tree that has unfortunately reached the end of it's life but still stands majestically on the west edge of our property. It's a local landmark that can actually be seen in satellite photos. We have a hiking trail that connects to the Linda Vista Hotel that winds past the Ceiba and down through the forest. Another trail has been cut farther up the hill that leads all the way down to the river for a refreshing dip."

WISE COUNTY A wildfire continued burning Wednesday night in Wise County, 35 miles northwest of Fort Worth. Five homes were destroyed and 20 others were threatened.
Wise County Fire Marshal Marc Dodd says the fire blackened 500 acres after breaking out early Wednesday afternoon near Cottondale.
Homeowner Cindy Clayton said she first smelled the smoke. When she opened her front door, she could see black clouds getting closer to her house.
Clayton alerted her husband, who used to be a volunteer firefighter. He said, 'Get some things and get out,' so I started grabbing, and he says, 'Forget that, get out, it's too late!' It was already on top of us.
Clayton said her home is gone, and she thinks her family has lost everything. She said her church was helping them get through the night.
Dodd said fire crews from Texas Forest Service and 13 nearby fire departments had the fire about 60 percent contained late Wednesday night and all evacuation orders had been lifted.
WFAA and the Associated Press contributed to this report.

Seattle natives Thuy Do and her husband, Jesse Robbins took a life changing trip this winter to Cambodia. They decided they wanted to celebrate Do's graduation from the University of Washington's medical program by using their talents to meet needs internationally.
This is where they met Linh Doan, director of One Body Village (OBV). One Body Village is a non-profit organization headed by Father Martino Nguyen Ba Thong. He formed OBV in 2008 to save children from sexual abuse, sex slavery, and trafficking. Do and Robbins have decided to dedicate their lives to raising awareness about sex trafficking and helping girls who have been sexually abused. They teach parents about the importance of education for their girls. To this couple, working with One Body Vision is working for prevention and female empowerment. They believe that if they get to these girls and their parents early, and use education to help them understand the positive choices they can make despite difficult circumstances, it can make a huge dent in efforts to end the cycle of poverty in this village, and abroad.
To learn more about what One Body Village is doing, check out their website.

Pune: Here's how you can beat the summer heat in an all new manner.
Blades of Glory- dedicated to cricket
Where : Swanand Society, Sahakar Nagar
What to look for: For all those who thought museums are those old boring places hoarding artifacts and historical materials, visit 'Blades of Gory' for a change of opinion. Indeed it's one big apartment of collection but the ingredient is 'Cricket.' If you eat, speak and live for the game, 'Blades of Glory' is the place to spend a hot summer afternoon.
This miniature world of sports has been well divided into various section each catering to some different taste. In the very beginning is the room for the legends which boasts of personally autographed bats and balls of the 'gods of cricket' like Sir Don Bradman and Sir Vivian Richards. Discover the history of this miraculous game, the legendary players and some memorable moments from history come alive as you browse the various sections.
The record is maintained in the form of autographed cricket kits, jerseys and pictures. Some noteworthy collections are, a poster depicting the evolution of the sport, a section dedicated to the famous Ashes between England and Australia, a collection of autographed bats of the world cup winning teams right from 1975 to 2011. However, devot the last of your energy and time to the section dedicated to the Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar. From his World Cup jersey (2011) to his entire cricket kit strikes the emotional chord of every cricket fan.
As the mind behind this unique venture, Rohan Kishore Pate, says, "Cricket is a way of life." 'Blades of Glory' is unique and one of its kind with its personalised and exclusive collection.
Highlights: Price is reasonable, Rs50 per head for an unique experience with guide Vikas Tupe.
Disappointments : A little congested as it is situated in one apartment of Govind Gaurav Apartment.
Darshan Museum - dedicated to Sadhu Vaswani
Where: Sadhu Vaswani Chowk
What to look for : Visit 'Darshan' for an all together different experience and you will get the value for your time. Devoted to the Sindhi saint and scholar, 'Darshan' is a biographical museum that offers an insight into the life and teachings of Sadhu Vaswani. Experience the magic of Indian folklores while you immerse into the 3-D art of storytelling which also happens to be the highlight of the place. Beginning on a welcome note by Dada J P Vaswani, the whole experience of living the moments from the greater saint's life is made alive by life like mannequins depicting his childhood, family, school and college life and later his world tour and various achievements accross the globe. However, the best attraction are holographic screens recollecting a memorable experience from Vaswani's adulthood and times in Calcutta. The use of museum based technologies such as graphic panels, pepper's ghost, interactive audio-visual materials, films and a constant dialogue based narrative makes the museum experience come alive.
Highlights: Equipped with modern audio-visual technologies, Darshan creates an entertaining, educative and moving experience for the old and the young alike. Daily shows between 11 am to 7 pm in structured manner, free of cost for all.
Disappointments: It satisfies what it claims to offer. Though if one is not spiritually inclined and wants to gain some worldly experiences, there might be some disappointment.
Raja Dinkar Kelkar Museum
Where: Shukrawar PethWhat to look for: This peculiar museum was established in 1962 by Baba Dinkar Kelkar and is houses 20,000-odd objects of Indian daily life painstakingly collected by its founder Baba Dinkar Kelkar (who passed away in 1990). The quirky pan-Indian collection includes hundreds of hookah pipes, writing instruments, lamps, textiles, toys, entire doors and windows, kitchen utensils, furniture, puppets, jewellery, betel-nut cutters and an interesting gallery of musical instruments.
It exhibits rare exhibits and artefacts brought from across country with some dating back to the Mughal and Maratha period. Museum spans three floors and divided into A and B sections besides a museum souvenir shop which contain catalogues, postcards, greeting cards, posters, etc. The tour begins from ground floor has a variety of household vessels, some dating back to 18th century. The upper floors have display of idols of Gods and other attractions like armours made of fish scales, crocodile skins etc. Besides, a lamp gallery containing worship materials, icons, textile gallery, handmade garments, etc. from 16th to 20th century AD. One of the upper floors is a display of the rich lifestyle of Maharajas and an Ivory gallery which shows game of dice, chess, etc. of Peshwa group from 18th century.
There is beautifully arranged musical library for the music lovers. All the instruments like shehnai, tempura, tabla, etc. are on display. The collection also includes personal instruments contributed by the personalities such as Sarinda by P.L. Deshpande, Saarangi of Ustad Kadarbaksh Khan. One can also see a tortoise-shaped veena and a gramophone of early 20th century, donated by HMV Co.
However the museum's special attraction which can steal your heart in this museum is Mastani Mahal which was built in 1734.
Highlights: Besides, a rich collection, other facilities like parking areas, adequate drinking water facilities, toilets and lifts add to ease of visitors. It is reasonably at Rs30 per person, opens all day in a week from 10 am to 6 pm.
Disappointments: As Kelkar Museum comprises an incredible huge collection, one does miss the services of a guide who can make the experience better.
Joshi's Museum of Miniature railway
Where: Near Karishma Society, Kothrud
As the name indicates it is a museum found by railway enthusiast with several miniature railways running over a carefully built model of a city complete with highways, mountains, factories, a circus, railway stations, little people walking dogs (2,000 little people), waiting for trains, clapping at the trapeze artists, a drive in theatre, a commercial district, and so much more. Several train models run through these tracks, even the cars start moving just as the circus does too. Once a visitor pays an entry free of Rs80, the railway system is activated and the model comes to life.
However we couldn't experience it. The museum has a policy to only put up the show for a group of four to six persons, single people are not given the show unless they pay Rs320 (single ticket is Rs 80)
Disappointment: Limited timings as shows don't take place in mid-afternoon, minimum number required for shows, receptionist said narration by guide only in Marathi.

My Rating
The tour was great as well as the tour guide. She gave a complete tour and absolutely did not rush us. She was also very friendly and knowledgable. I gave the tour 5 stars due to her but again the meeting place is IMPOSSIBLE to find! Nothing is clearly marked and as it was early in the morning there were not many people around to ask and those who were around were clueless! I don't understand why the tour bus cannot do the pick-up at the ships port entrance?... Please consider changing the pick up point. We ended up calling the tour company and the bus came back from us. It was not a fun way to start the morning.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
My Rating
The tour was really great, very informative and interesting. The tour guide was beyond amazing. She was extremely knowledge and very friendly. We could have not asked for more.

Andean Volcano Heats Up
March 31, 2003
A January 6, 2002 ASTER nighttime thermal infrared image of Chiliques volcano in Chile (left) shows a hot spot in the summit crater and several others along the upper flanks of the edifice, indicating new volcanic activity. Chiliques volcano was previously thought to be dormant. Rising to an elevation of 5778 m, Chiliques is a simple stratovolcano with a 500-m-diameter circular summit crater. This mountain is one of the most important high altitude ceremonial centers of the Incas. It is rarely visited due to its difficult accessibility.

Recently I went to Thailand to meet an old friend & colleague for lunch. Long since we started as Junior Artists in Britain he's worked his way up to a big-shot management position. Now he wants me to join his evil corporation, but I want him to apply to us in China. Would my arguments win him over or would my vacation that followed make me fall in love with Thailand? Check out the pictures and see!
There was a strange feeling of Déjà Vue to meet my old colleague again after all these years. Always eating lunch together back in UK, here we were again 8 years later like it was a regular workday. But there was nothing ordinary about this lunch, instead of complaining about British food in Dundee we were praising delicious Pat Thai in Bangkok!
How he came to work in Thailand is a journey I know well because I once had the same dream myself. Every lunch we would fantasize about making games in Thailand, but as the years went by I brushed it off as unrealistic day dreaming. It came as a shock the day he revealed his no-return ticket, I assumed it was an elaborate joke but could tell from his smile he was 100% serious!
Since then our only contact had been over Skype, but now it was time to meet again. Tho the flight was short it wasn't short enough for just one lunch, so with an extra two days to look around I was worried I would experience a vacation so awesome I would be tempted to stay. My worries were not unfounded.

Danilo Gallinari leaves game with knee injury (VIDEO)
Apr 4, 2013, 10:55 PM EDT
This did not look good. At all.
With 4:16 remaining in the second quarter Thursday night in Denver, Danilo Gallinari went to the floor on the baseline after his left knee appeared to buckle after he came to a jump stop on a drive to the basket.
Gallinari appeared to be in a lot of pain, and was placed in a wheelchair once he left the court.
The Nuggets announced that Gallinari would not return, and that an MRI was scheduled for Friday to determine the extent of the injury.
The loss of Gallinari would be a crushing blow to a Nuggets team that's already without Ty Lawson due to a plantar fascia injury. Lawson may be back in a couple of weeks, but whether or not he'll immediately be capable of pushing the pace to the level he has all season remains to be seen.
Gallinari is second only to Lawson in scoring in Denver, and is averaging 16.3 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists in 32.8 minutes per game this season.

Looks like ACL. Speedy recovery Gallo
- broncobeta - Apr 4, 2013 at 11:34 PM
There's just no way he comes back this year. This was very reminiscent of D-Rose.
It's gonna sting without him…
- jhuck92 - Apr 4, 2013 at 11:37 PM
…In all seriousness, I hope it's nothing too bad.
- gotchangeforadollar - Apr 4, 2013 at 11:39 PM
While I'm not a fan of Denver at all (Go Grizzlies!), I really hate to see this happen to them when the playoffs are right around the corner. Hopefully, Ty comes back just fine and someone else picks up the slack since Gallo's likely out indefinitely.
- broncobeta - Apr 4, 2013 at 11:58 PM
I feel the same about the Grizz.
I was sad when I heard Gasol was out indef. I'm glad he's back though. Small market teams gotta represent.
- nodindenver - Apr 5, 2013 at 12:10 AM
Nugs are deep. Ill Will has got next. It is good to say next man up; especially when the next man up is Wilson Chandler. Gallo has started based on his contract size not his playing ability this year; I like the guy but, his out of control drives and missed jumpers need a rest. Get well big fella!
- kb2408 - Apr 5, 2013 at 12:18 AM
^ Wilson is ok but he's not better than Gallo. Though the Nuggets are deep, this injury definitely hurts them.
- broncobeta - Apr 5, 2013 at 5:21 PM
Many fans argue that Chandler is better. I don't know if I agree, but he's not much farther behind Gallo.
- lucifershuttlesworth - Apr 5, 2013 at 1:31 AM
What a difference a night makes, I liked the Italian Celebration video much more than this. I used to cringe when he got the ball but I've become a big fan of his versatility, skill and attitude. I have faith in Brewer and Chandler as well but this is bad news for the Nuggs. Get well Rooster.

Famed SAT Tutor Condenses His Program Into Upcoming Self-study Program
New York, NY, Jan 02, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Famed SAT tutor Anthony-James Green has seen what the SAT test prep industry offers students in the forms of inconsistent tutoring, standardized classroom learning, and untested online programs. Instead of suggesting these expensive and ineffective courses, Green has come up with a new solution: a self-study SAT prep program that gives students daily, customized lesson plans that show exactly what to do, when, and how in order to get Ivy-level SAT scores.

The new program is called the 90 Day SAT Prescription, and works exactly as it sounds: students log in through any internet-connected device every day for 90 days to prepare for the SAT. The program includes custom lesson plans, guides, manuals, and practice questions, all of which are altered based on the student's progress. The program gives students an exact list of learning points and tasks for each day, taking the guesswork out of self-study. After 90 days, students are prepared to take the SAT.
"The 90 Day SAT Prescription is unlike any other product on the market," says Green, "We are giving students a customized study plan that measures progress, attacks weaknesses, improves students' strategies, and gets students used to taking the exam." Included in the program are 11 full-length, timed SATs, which are graded and recorded for the students to see their progress. These diagnostic exams also gauge students' weaknesses, allowing the program to be customized to help students study what they need to.
"The program is designed to isolate weaknesses and help students improve according to their current performance. Unlike classroom courses or self-study, the 90 Day SAT Prescription does not waste time teaching students skills they already know or things that are beyond their comprehension," says Green.
Green, who is booked months in advance for one-on-one tutoring sessions, developed the program by capturing the lessons and customization used in his personal sessions for a fraction of the cost of private tutoring.
"I want to revolutionize the SAT prep industry by making the benefits of personal tutoring and lesson customization available to all students," says Green, "With the 90 Day SAT Prescription, students have the flexibility to log in to the program at any time of the day from any internet-connected device. There is no need to plan around study sessions, commute to classrooms, or waste thousands of dollars on ineffective programs. The 90 Day SAT Prescription is guaranteed to improve SAT scores." Green will be launching his 90 Day SAT Prescription January 3rd. The program will cost $379.95, and parents can learn more about the program and place their orders at the following address:
Green is also giving away free guides, tutorials, and more through his newsletter service at:
Green has worked with over 320 students one-on-one, launched and sold his own SAT tutoring firm, authored four books on the subject of SAT prep, and designed the wildly popular SAT vocabulary software, Vivid Vocab.
Green lives in downtown Manhattan, where he works with his students full-time when he's not developing new tutoring software programs and guides.

Many State Medicaid Agencies are now requiring enrolled providers to perform monthly exclusion checks to determine if their employees or contractors are excluded from receiving payments from federal health care programs.
In an effort to strengthen the integrity of the Medicaid program and help States reduce improper payments to providers and suppliers, effective March 25, 2011, CMS implemented final regulations that require State Medicaid Agencies to screen all providers, suppliers, and persons with ownership and/or controlling interests, by checking the Office of Inspector General List of Excluded Individuals and Entities (Exclusion List) and the General Services Administration's Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). This screening is required upon initial enrollment and monthly thereafter for as long as that provider is enrolled in the Medicaid program. In the preamble discussion, CMS recommends that States "consider making this a requirement for all providers and contractors, including managed care contractors in their Medicaid programs and CHIP." According to CMS, many State agencies already made it their policy to require enrolled providers to do monthly exclusion checks based on prior CMS guidance.

In the Ohio criminal justice system, juvenile proceedings are fundamentally different from adult criminal trials. Those differences were the focus of a case that we reviewed here � at the Supreme Court of Ohio � involving a juvenile we�ll refer to as J.V.
In June 2005, in accordance with a plea agreement, a trial court found J.V. delinquent and guilty of one count of felonious assault, and one count of aggravated robbery. Because J.V. had used a gun in committing his crimes, the charges also included firearm and serious-youthful-offender specifications.
The court imposed a blended sentence: at least two years at the Ohio Department of Youth Services and an adult sentence of three years. The adult sentence was stayed, meaning that if J.V. behaved during his two years at DYS, he wouldn�t have to serve the additional time. But near the end of his DYS sentence J.V. was involved in a fight that led the trial court to invoke the stayed adult sentence.
In response, J.V.�s attorneys appealed, but the court of appeals affirmed the invocation of the stayed adult sentence. After that, his case came before us for a final review.
On appeal, J.V.�s attorneys presented several arguments, the first of which claimed that the invocation of an adult prison sentence upon a juvenile violates the U.S. and Ohio Constitutions.
The Ohio legislature authorized the imposition of blended sentences in 2002 in order to give juvenile courts more flexibility in handling violent juvenile offenders. Before that, juvenile courts had the choice of two extremes: it could treat the child as a juvenile, committing him to DYS until he turned 21, or it could treat the child as an adult and transfer the case to the common pleas court, depriving the child of a chance at rehabilitation and exposing the child to an adult sentence in an adult prison.
But J.V.�s attorneys argued that the juvenile-sentencing law violated J.V.�s right to a trial by jury because it allows the judge to substitute his own judgment instead of relying on the findings of a jury. In making that argument, they relied on a series of court decisions that state that �any fact that increases the penalty for a crime� must be submitted to a jury.
But we determined that those cases do not apply to J.V.�s situation. Why not? J.V. was sentenced to a blended sentence. The adult portion of the sentence was stayed, �pending the successful completion of the traditional juvenile� sentence. When the juvenile court invoked the stayed sentence � after J.V. failed to complete his juvenile sentence � the judge did not increase J.V.�s sentence; he merely removed the stay. The sentence had already been imposed.
Furthermore, juveniles do not enjoy a right to a trial by jury. That�s not to say that juries play no role, but they�re not required. That is one of the main differences between juvenile and adult courts.
We therefore concluded that when an invocation hearing is properly conducted � as it was in this case � the juvenile�s right to a trial by jury is not even implicated, let alone violated.
J.V.�s attorneys also took issue with the juvenile-sentencing law�s burden of proof requirement, which is a �clear-and-convincing-evidence� standard. They argued that when invoking the adult sentence, the burden of proof should be the same as it is in a criminal trial � the �beyond-a-reasonable-doubt� standard.
We disagreed. The invocation hearing is not a criminal proceeding. Therefore, the fact-finding need not be according to the beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard that is required in criminal trials.
The clear-and-convincing-evidence standard of the juvenile-sentencing law is less rigorous, though stronger than a mere �preponderance-of-the-evidence� standard. The clear-and-convincing-evidence standard requires the judge to have a firm belief or conviction about the facts presented. We concluded that there is nothing fundamentally unfair about a law that authorizes a judge to reach conclusions about facts according to a clear-and-convincing-evidence standard.
In this case, J.V. had notice of the invocation hearing, he was present at the hearing, he had legal representation, he had the opportunity to present evidence at the hearing, and he had the opportunity to cross-examine the witnesses called by the state. The court complied with the requirements of the law.
We therefore determined that J.V. was not denied due process based on the fact that the trial court reached factual conclusions according to a clear-and-convincing-evidence standard.
J.V.�s attorneys made one other argument regarding his sentence: they maintained that the juvenile court did not have jurisdiction over J.V. when it sentenced him in February 2010.
In making that argument, his attorneys relied on the section of the juvenile-sentencing law that states, �The juvenile court has jurisdiction over a person who is adjudicated a delinquent child ... prior to attaining eighteen years of age until the person attains twenty-one years of age.�
This language is straightforward. It states that juvenile courts have jurisdiction over adjudicated delinquents until they are 21 years old. The obvious flip side of that statement is that juvenile courts do not have jurisdiction over adjudicated delinquents once they are 21 years old.
We determined that there was no need for us to interpret the language of that law; we only needed to apply the facts of this case to the law. J.V. turned 21 on March 11, 2009. Accordingly, the juvenile court had no jurisdiction over him after that date. Nevertheless, in February 2010, it held a sentencing hearing to correct the original juvenile sentence, which did not mention postrelease control.
However, based on the plain language in the law, the juvenile court did not have jurisdiction over J.V. On this issue we determined � by a 5-to-2 vote � that there was no doubt that the juvenile court acted outside its jurisdiction and therefore that the sentence issued in February 2010 was void.
It was an unfortunate result, one that was not intended when the law was enacted, but as Justice Yvette McGee Brown noted, �This case has revealed a gap in the law that should be addressed by the legislature.�

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
You'll probably facepalm at this logic by the GOP ($1 trillion coin-related)
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
This morning, the NRCC argued, apparently in all seriousness, "The amount of platinum needed to mint a coin worth $1 trillion would sink the Titanic." To help drive home the point, the campaign committee even created an image of a President Obama platinum coin weighing down the Titanic.
Making matters slightly worse, the NRCC says the coin would "pay for [Obama's] spending," which suggests Republicans still don't understand that the White House cannot legally spend money that hasn't already been approved by Congress.
But even putting that aside, the problem with the image and initial argument is that the NRCC appears to have forgotten how money works. A $20 bill does not have $20 worth of paper. Indeed, the paper and fibers that go into a $50 bill do not have five times the value of a $10 bill. And as such, a $1 trillion coin would not need $1 trillion worth of platinum.
Manny Ramirez *24* 2001-2008
Thanks for the memories man.
Did anyone else think of the Simpsons episode where Burns steals the trillion dollar bill when this story first came out? Or does that show my age?
I have to return some video tapes...
What is the deal on this coin anyway? I heard a passing blurb on the news about it, but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet.
The problem, then, is that if subjective worlds are experienced too differently, there occurs a breakdown in communication. -- Philip K. Dick
If this is republican logic I'm pretty ashamed that they're on the same side of the fence as I am. Looks like someone never learned about fiat currency.
Snuggle bunny swag.
Holy s*** they are stupid.
I guess I'm glad that it always amazes me.
What is the deal on this coin anyway? I heard a passing blurb on the news about it, but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet.
There's laws on how much paper money the feds can print, how much gold and silver coins the fed can mint, but none on platinum so the idea is they can create a $1t coin to pay our debt instead of raising the debt ceiling.
No f***ing clue what this would do to inflation though.
Honestly it sounds like a dumb scheme that will somehow screw us. If our economy can be affected so greatly from lawyering the language and minting a single coin, it's time to f***ing start over.
I simply cannot understand why the political sphere contains so many people who are so ignorant about things which they should be the most likely to know about.

What is the deal on this coin anyway? I heard a passing blurb on the news about it, but I haven't had a chance to look into it yet.
Essentially, it takes advantage of a loophole that would allow the government to circumvent the current debt ceiling. The debt ceiling is separate from the federal budget, and if it is not raised, the U.S. will not be able to borrow money from the Federal Reserve to pay for the allocations currently reserved in the budget, which would be disastrous. Because raising the debt ceiling is an issue wrapped in politics that would lead to another harrowing debt ceiling fight, the government is looking for a way around that conflict. However, due to certain laws on the books pertaining to our fiat currency, there are limits on the minting of gold, silver, and copper. By making a platinum coin worth $1 trillion, the Treasury ducks the issue. The coin (or coins) would be deposited into the Federal Reserve, from which the Treasury can draw money as it needs. Because it's not borrowing, as in a loan, but simply depositing and withdrawing, it dodges the debt ceiling issue. I'm not sure how it would affect inflation. I would think that it would contribute to a rising inflation rate over time as the money makes its way from the Fed, back into the Treasury as dollars, and into circulation as paid monetary debt.

It would raise the market value of platinum.
Which would raise the cost of making anything out of platinum.
Which would (see link above) lead to some inevitable side effects.
Hey guyz, maybe we should think a bit more before getting involved in hair brain schemes?

Gear Review
My favorite gloves
I'm a glove nut and very picky. Very satisfied with these. I live in the mountain town of Park City and these are great for shoveling snow, working outside and I ski in them quite often. Seems to be true to fit for size. As for the price? What a great value. Bought them for $20 at http://www.bcdod.com
