After a quarter of century of fractured mandates — from the Lok Sabha election of 1989 to that of 2009 — when coalition governments became the norm and management of coalitions the test of political skill, the results of the hard-fought 2014 Lok Sabha polls show that the people have gone back to the old paradigm of a single dominant party. The BJP has emerged not just the single largest party — which has been the norm of electoral success through the 1990s and the first decade of 21st century — but it has crossed the magical 272 which enables it to form a government on its own without looking over its shoulder to allies. Though BJP leaders have assured in the last few days that even if the party is in a position to form government on its own, it will take allies along the way and that it would even accept new allies.
The regional parties outside the Hindi heartland are still holding out in their fortresses like the AIADMK in Tamil Nadu, BJD in Odisha and TMC in West Bengal, TDP in Seemandhra and TRC in Telangana. In UP and Bihar, the heart of the cow-belt, the regional parties have lost their sheen and clout. In UP, SP has been marginalised, BSP has been decimated, and in Bihar, both JD (U) and RJD have bitten the dust. This does not point to the reduction of the polity to a two-party system which is what the BJP and Congress desire. The regional parties, who are not willing to belong to either the BJP-led NDA or the Congress-led UPA, are likely to hold their ground.
The other important change is in the nature of politics. India's parliamentary democracy has come a long way from the left-of-centre with its socialist rhetoric and welfare programmes of the Congress to the right-of-centre BJP with its market-friendliness and state paternalism. The more familiar paradigm of secular Congress versus the communal BJP has lost its credibility in this election. The problem however simmers as the sporadic communal clashes in Kokrajhar in Assam, Meerut in Uttar Pradesh and Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh have shown. But the issue has lost its ideological edge.
There is room for the debate whether the kind of right-wing nationalism that the BJP and its ideological mentor, the RSS, champion would undermine the cosmopolitan strand in Indian society. The BJP defends its version of nationalism and argues that it has nothing to do with religion. Sceptics and detractors are not convinced. The debate will continue and it will remain inconclusive. It should neither be silenced nor should it drown out every other debate.
Modi has succeeded to a great extent to focus on development as the campaign theme. Congress and other parties had failed to engage Modi on this issue. There is now the need for others to keep BJP and Modi in power on their feet over development. It will make political debate meaningful and relevant.
The verdict of this election should also bring to an end Modi demonology on the one hand and Modi eulogies on the other. The new prime minister is neither an angel nor a demon. The need is to judge him as an elected politician for his acts of omission and commission, give praise where it is due and unsparing criticism where it is necessary. It is true that Modi has won the election for BJP, but he should not remain the focus anymore. It is time to get back to work and keep the country going.

Sodium chloride, better known as salt, is vital for the organism, and the kidneys play a crucial role in the regulation of sodium balance. However, the underlying mechanisms of sodium balance are not yet completely understood. Researchers of the Max Delbrck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC) Berlin-Buch, Charit Universittsmedizin Berlin and the University of Kiel have now deciphered the function of a gene in the kidney and have thus gained new insights into this complex regulation process (PNAS Early Edition, doi/10.1073/pnas.1203834109)*.
In humans, the kidneys filter around 1700 liters of blood every day, of which 180 liters are collected as primary urine and ultimately one to two liters of urine are excreted. The kidneys thus wash toxic waste products out of the body, but retain some useful substances and reintroduce them into the body, thus simultaneously regulating the salt and water balance.
Molecular velcro
In the study just published by Dr. Tilman Breiderhoff, Prof. Thomas Willnow (both MDC), as well as Dr. Nina Himmerkus and Prof. Markus Bleich (both of the University of Kiel) and Dr. Dominik Mller (Charit) the focus is on the claudin-10 gene, which is expressed in a specific segment of the kidney, in Henle's loop. In the thick ascending limb of this loop, , a large part of the filtered sodium chloride, as well as calcium and magnesium are reabsorbed. The gene product under investigation, the claudin 10 protein, belongs to a family of proteins that connect the epithelial cells which cover the inner and outer surfaces of the body and stick them together like velcro. Claudins, however, also form pores, through which ions and substances are transported between the cells.
"If these transport processes are disturbed, this can lead to serious loss of function of the kidneys," Dr. Breiderhoff explained. As example he cited various human hereditary diseases in which either absorption of table salt (Bartter s

Delayed from last year and, like all of Luhrmann's high-style, high-wire movies, guaranteed to be divisive, "Gatsby" could well be this year's "Les Miserables" (without the singing) -- a lavish, emotionally over-the-top, sweeping spectacle that aims to hold a mirror to modern times. Its schedule bump might prompt some doubts, but "Titanic" moved back its release date too, and it made out OK.

Kin: Ohio killer of 3 was stressed about sick wife
LOGAN, Ohio A sister-in-law of an Ohio man who shot three people and then killed himself says he was stressed out over caring for his terminally ill wife and was resentful of other family members.
Peggy Gilkey says her brother-in-law Paul Gilkey was trying to do his best caring for his wife, whose cancer was diagnosed around Thanksgiving. She says he felt as if other family members weren't letting him care for Darlene Gilkey and he was stressed at the number of people in the house.
Police say Paul Gilkey shot and killed two of his wife's sisters and his son Monday before killing himself.
Authorities say he was set off by a dispute over food served to his wife, who witnessed the shootings from a hospital bed in her living room but was uninjured.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
A dispute over whether a terminally ill woman should have been given tea and toast or an orange apparently upset her husband so much that he shot and killed two of the woman's sisters and his own son before killing himself, a sheriff said Tuesday.
The sick woman, Darlene Gilkey, witnessed the shootings from a hospital bed in her living room but wasn't injured, Hocking County Sheriff Lanny North said. The 59-year-old is dying of cancer, he said.
The woman's son, Ralph Sowers III, told a 911 dispatcher he survived because his stepfather, Paul Gilkey, said he was sparing him because he had kids.
After the shootings Monday, 63-year-old Paul Gilkey stepped out onto his front porch, sat down in a chair and shot himself to death, the sheriff said.
Killed inside the home were Darlene Gilkey's sisters, Barbara Mohler, 70, of New Straitsville, and Dorothy Cherry, 63, of New Plymouth. Also killed was Paul Gilkey's son, Leroy Gilkey, 38, of Columbus.
North said events leading to the shootings began earlier in the day when some of the victims had apparently served Darlene Gilkey tea and toast after Paul Gilkey had already peeled an orange for her.
That led to an argument that escalated over time and culminated in the shootings, the sheriff said.
"It sounds like it was over her well-being, her care," the sheriff said.
As the argument heated up, Paul Gilkey left the living room where his wife's bed was, went to a bedroom where he retrieved a gun, returned to the living room and started shooting.
The sheriff said Gilkey shot Mohler first, then ordered Sowers to leave. Gilkey then shot his son and again ordered Sowers to leave, before shooting Cherry, North said.
Hocking County Coroner David Cummin said eight or nine gunshots were fired during what autopsies confirm was a triple homicide followed by the assailant's suicide.
He said Mohler died from two close-range gunshot wounds to the head and Leroy Gilkey was killed next with three close-range gunshot wounds to the head. Cherry then suffered of a gunshot wound to the chest from an undetermined distance and a close-range gunshot wound to the head, the autopsies showed.

request: hide button for headshots please?
CLICK -> http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/usvp...1612352604.jpg
I notice that there are tiny frame drops the moment the *head shot* in the target indicator is rendered.
same for *target of target* indicator
on my new uber PC from super smooth 60 fps to 58 fps, small problem, but the change in pace is noticeable,
on my old PC it is a lot more noticeable.
anyway In Shooter mode the target can change very fast if you try to aim for someone specific inside a mob.
sometimes to fast for the head to even show up, so the usefulness is reduced as well and it can even be annoying if the thing keeps flickering red / white / blue
all i ask for is that we get one (or two) of these nice hide buttons for the target and target of target indicators (so everybody can choose if they want to see it or not)...
but ground mode and space mode separately plz (in space i actually want to see it because it's sometimes hard to tell, and i'd hate to switch the mode every time i zone ;P )
pretty plz?
I'm now wondering if this is where my framerate drop is happening, when the heads are loading in the target bar. I get slight lag spikes during battles and now that you mention this, even though I don't use shooter mode, I am still Tabbing through targets a lot. I wonder if by me tabbing through targets and causing a number of heads to load simultaneously is part of the issue for me as well.
In any case, an option to not display the heads on the target bars is a good thing. I'd toggle between using it for sure.
It appears every time it shows the character in the target bar, it re-renders their headshot.
Lazy way to do things, honestly.
Headshots won't happen, the engine the game uses can only give us what we currently have. There was tech babble involved, but, I just woke up. lol
Perhaps add an option to turn those into generic icons similar to how ship 'headshots' show up. I think the brief lag is caused by the system retrieving the headshot of the character you are looking at and putting it together. If you had a simple faction icon instead that is already pre-loaded in the game's memory, I don't think you would have the spike.
i think i'd support this, tbh. i rarely use the headshots as it is, so getting rid of them would be pretty handy...
Agreed. It goes with more UI customization in general. I want to enable/disable and resize everything individually. The lack of UI customization in STO has been a gripe of mine since beta.

uhm... what the hell did I do to get a negative vote on my karma?
wow pal! nice looking guns you have there! and great choice too ;)
why? fast paced and arcadish is for idiots? then no one should play mmmh let's say... Metal Slug Saga (some of the greatest games ever created)
good to see progress :)
As far as I know, IW also update their engine. And if something's not broken, why fix it?
I played the first CoD too and i like them too. MW are my favorites to be honest. And the scripted scenes are not the stuff that saves the game; it's the fluid gameplay and action scenes where the player does the stuff. Did you ever played the first one; great cinematics and great combat moments = totally enjoyable.
The community is not a factor to be considered when you rate a game.
If we take that as part of the review system, then every ******* game that has servers on USA are complete garbage; friends of mine that play there get lots of hostility for being latinos (even when they speak english with fluidity like myself), being treated like "beaners", "job stealers" and more crap like that.
PS; oh yeah, they are the only evil people who only care about profit, not Valve with their vomitive and retarded policy of adding hats hats and HATS to their ******* games.
And people; the MW saga is not a bad one, specially the first one (that one is incredible). The second is very cheesy on the fact that every 5 minutes you have a "wow wtf everything's exploding and we must run guns blazing through colapsing buildings while we are being barraged!!!"
But it's a very funny game. The third one, well, we just gotta wait and see...
And the people moaning because of the graphics/engine; they look very very nice! and the art is very good too.
PS; I don't see people complaining about Valve's source games being released with that 04' engine (well, I do sometimes XD)
it looks very nice! but I would change the name, or re-think it If I were you, for a more appealing and unique one ;)

Recycling machines
Where are they?
Look out for our recycling machines at Alfred Street, Circular Quay and Dixon Street, Haymarket.
View our map at the end of this page for machine locations.
Recycling pays
Why throw something away when you can be rewarded for recycling it instead?
The City is trialing 2 reverse vending machines in the local area so there is an option to recycle when you are out and about. A reverse vending machine works the opposite way to a vending machine – you put in an empty drink container and you get to choose a reward for your recycling efforts.
What can go into the machines?
The machines love empty drink cans and plastic bottles.
Careful not to put in glass or containers full of liquid, and do not crush your containers beforehand – our machines won't cope.
Did you know?
The City has tried using recycling bins in public areas, but levels of contamination made it impossible to recycle the materials collected. The beauty of these machines is that they accept only items that can be recycled and reject anything else. No more burger wrappers!
Find the machines at bus stand C on Alfred Street, Circular Quay and in Dixon Street mall, Haymarket.
Don't bin it, win it.
So what exactly can you win? You can choose from:
- Going in the draw to win a family pass to the 2015 Sydney New Year's Eve Dawes Point Viewing Area
- Donating your reward to Clean Up Australia or OzHarvest
- 2 for 1 food vouchers from the Urban Pasta food truck.
The machine will also randomly select an instant winner for our pool passes. This will entitle you to a free swim at our outdoor pools, including Andrew (Boy) Charlton, Prince Alfred Park, and Victoria Park pools.
Breakdowns and repairs
Even though our machines are grunty, they are not invincible and need a little TLC sometimes. For operational assistance email firstname.lastname@example.com or call the City on 02 9265 9333.
What's the issue, really?
Beverage containers now outstrip cigarette butts as the most littered item (taken from the National top 10 rubbish items collected on Clean Up Australia Day). 15,000 bottles and cans are littered or landfilled in Australia every minute.
It is a fact that a 'cash for container' scheme, will reduce litter and increase recycling rates to 80–95%. South Australia is leading the way with such a scheme and has doubled the rate of recycling than the rest of the country.
10 cents can clean things up
A 10 cent refund on containers can put a dent on litter and skyrocket recycling levels. The Boomerang Alliance is proposing a convenient container deposit system where drink containers can be returned to reverse vending machines, much like this one, at the local shopping centre. You can find out more about their campaign in the link below.

Question on KTM's tank material
Anyone know what KTM makes their tanks out of? Specifically the KTM 640 Adv.'s 27 liter tank. I am looking into repair materials and methods in the equipment forum.
I thought I read somewhere that Acerbis makes the tanks but I am not sure about this.
Believe its Elkamet in Germany. Try these links.
Both main tanks on my 2000 660 Rallye and 2002 LC4 Adv. have Acerbis stamped on them..
Alright.... so what does Acerbis make its tanks out of... PA, PC, PE... what?
MTBE - mentioned - thought that was a flame retardant used in furniture:
" HPN Tanks made by Acerbis : 43 liters (11.3 gal.), in white, red, blue, black or transparent for 735 to 998 DM and 148 DM for installation kit. Made of non-paintable material ("Philipps CL 50"), so you have to stick with these colors here. The HPN tank is also available in a Nylon-material (paintable), for 1048 DM plus the installation kit. These tanks have a fill sleeve that stucks out of the tank, so mounting a tank bag may be more difficult as usual (Same as with R 100 GS PD). You cannot check the oil level with tank on the bike. It only takes about 2 minutes to get the tank off. "
another with same info as above:
- Hmmm, nylon - that does sound right for what you see under the paint :cry :lol3 - does that sound right? :ear
What failed?
Mine has a failed right "ear" (that mates to the right/upper support donut) - the previous owner said it started leaking after a crash. He epoxied it and removed the mount from the bike to not put any further pressure on it. I went further and shimmed/padded the frame backbone to use the tank's saddle hump to further distribute the load. It seems to be a premanent fix - no problems in many thousands of miles.
- Mark
See: http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62059
I am looking to repair some scratches and minor gouges from a slide prior to repainting. So if you know, is the tank nylon??? :ear
If you do have trouble with that you might want to find a plastic welder to fix it for ya. Supposedly a good job will be good as new! :thumb
Seriously though, with the paint off :cry and the scrapes and gouges :cry :cry it looks like nylon...
to an untrained eye. :rolleyes
MTBE is Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether, it's an octane booster recently banned for contaminating groundwater....
Still not sure what our tanks are made of (laminated Austrian gnome skins?)...
I am guessing nylon - Australian gnomes are not so tough!
Mr. Popsicle,
Don't quote me on this, but I remember reading on the German forum that our tanks are made of a P6 composite. I would bet that traditional auto body fillers(bondo,glazing compound) would work on it though, or you could add some material through plastic welding, and sand down the area a bit to feather it out over a slightly larger area. Personally, I think it would be interesting to try my hand at making some carbon fiber guards to cover the damaged areas.
Good Luck
Scoot Jockey
that is way too much work for a fashion statement.
the Adventure Tank is from PA.
The Rally tank and also the rear tanks are made from PE.
Epoxi based fillers schould work for a little while on the Adventure tanks, if you really have to remove the marks of honour :wink:

Earlier this week, TSN Analyst Darren Dreger reported that Edmonton's Taylor Hall would be in play on the trade market as the Oilers train wreck of a franchise continues. The Bruins, who have been struggling just to land a playoff berth this season and seem to be lacking an identity, have been in the eye of a hurricane of media buzz. Could Taylor Hall be the trade target they're looking for?
It's funny how these things come full circle. Back in 2010, the Bruins held the second overall pick while the Oilers held the first. It was clear that the B's preferred Hall, a gritty scoring winger, but they "settled" for Tyler Seguin and his dazzling skill set. Now, they may possibly have the chance to trade for him. But they won't.
First take a look at the Oilers. Years of being a basement dwelling team amassed them with a wealth of young talent that included three first round picks in four years and six top ten picks in a row. They built a core with names like Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Nail Yakupov, Darnell Nurse and the newly drafted Leon Draisaitl. The hockey world had a general consensus of, "Okay, they're bad now, but when this young core grows and develops together then Edmonton will be a force to be reckoned with."
But it never happened. Continue reading Why Taylor Hall Won't be a Bruin »

Two men are drinking in the bar on top of the Empire State Building. The first man tells the second one that there's a draft created because the building is so high, and if you jump over the edge the draft will blow you right back to the top. The second guy naturally is skeptical. The first man is adamant, so the second guy asks him to demonstrate, and the first guy agrees. They go over to the side of the building, and the first guy jumps over, and starts falling, 10, 20, 30, 40 stories... then starts to slow down, then comes to a complete top, then starts slowly rising, and eventually is set right back down on the roof. The second guy says, "Wow! I've got to try that!" So he jumps over the edge and starts falling, 10, 20, 30, 40 stories... then 50, 60, 70, etc. and then SPLAT. Then the bartender says, "You know Superman, you're a real azzhole when you're drunk."
Holy crap, it's the 60's Batman for me
And of course both Batman and Superman advertisements appear on the right hand side of my screen... Pure coincidence.

Europe Eases Into Spotlight Ahead of U.N. Vote
Peace process breakdown weakens the U.S.
The biggest casualty of the current movement toward an upgrade in status for the Palestinians may turn out to be the United States' position as the prime regional broker. It's pretty simple: a unilateral move at the United Nations is a repudiation of the peace process; the peace process is America's baby; therefore, a unilateral move at the U.N. is a repudiation of American leadership in the region. Laura Rozen reports that the whole pageant is being perceived as a test of U.S. credibility. In hindsight, suggests one analyst, the U.S. should have been leading the whole thing (and not, er, from behind) from the get-go, either by submitting its own resolution that was much more favorable to Israel while upgrading the Palestinians' status or, conversely, by declaring the entire thing meaningless and arranging for Israel to be the first to vote yes. (Of course, either strategy would likely have depended on a more willing Israeli government.) Colum Lynch notes that a resolution might leave Israel vulnerable to war crimes litigation at the International Criminal Court, and that the way out of this would have been to craft a resolution explicitly exempting Israel from this.
Instead, the U.S. is spending these last preceding days warning nations to "own the consequences" of their votes, in the words of U.N. ambassador Susan Rice, without really spelling out what such consequences—particularly in the mostly consequence-free General Assembly—would be. And meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's former longtime U.S. ambassador Turki al-Faisal published an exceedingly strange Times op-ed yesterday threatening worsened relations should the U.S. veto statehood in the Security Council, even though the issue likely won't enter that arena.
But the entity most likely to sap the U.S. of its regional sway is neither Israel nor the Palestinians, but Europe. This began at least several months ago, when it became plain that the U.S. would exercise its Security Council veto, and President Obama traveled to Europe, immediately after his famous "1967 borders" speech, to try to get the big and influential countries of Europe to oppose a Palestinian resolution in the General Assembly. A new International Crisis Group report recommends that Europe step in:
The least harmful outcome at this point is a U.N. resolution that is viewed as a victory by the Palestinians but addresses some core Israeli concerns and preserves the option of a two-state settlement. Achieving that result requires some skilful third-party diplomacy. The U.S., which so far has been reluctant to engage on the content of a U.N. text, has taken itself out of the running. That leaves the Europeans, whose backing the Palestinians are desperate to receive and who therefore can leverage their support.
And where is Europe? Who knows! The Times reports that the European Union is divided among its member-states on this issue (as it is on, y'know, every other issue). Generally, Germany is the big 'no'—that is, it will vote against the Palestinians' resolution—and Italy is a smaller one, while Britain and France are the big fence-sitters. Much may depend on the exact language of the Palestinians' resolution, which has yet to be unveiled (which, by the way, means the Palestinians still have time to shoot themselves in the foot, which is my bet).
But the point is it shouldn't be coming down to a carefully worded resolution that may or may not emerge from a small cadre of Palestinian leaders with a questionable right to speak for all Palestinians. If the U.S. were still the colossus standing astride the world stage, and particularly in the region, it wouldn't be.

BSP leader meets Uttar Pradesh Governor B.L. Joshi and submits memorandum
Claiming that a constitutional crisis has arisen in Uttar Pradesh as "no such thing as a government" existed there, Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati has demanded imposition of President's rule.
The former Chief Minister on Friday met Governor B.L. Joshi and apprised him of the "urgent need" of sending a report to the President, recommending invoking Article 356. In a memorandum, the BSP chief accused the Samajwadi Party government of failure to maintain law and order and communal harmony and to provide basic security to the people. It was anarchy and "jungle raj,'' with criminals, mafia and anti-social elements calling the shots.
Referring to "distribution" of plum posts to ministers, Ms. Mayawati alleged that these posts were being sold by the SP government and demanded an inquiry. She complained that preference was being given to people of a particular caste in prized postings, while the poor, Dalits, backward classes, religious minorities and other deprived sections were at the receiving end.
The government's failure to fill up vacancies in the Uttar Pradesh SC/ST Commission, Backward Classes Commission, Minorities Commission, the Rajya Mahila Ayog and the Urdu Academy for a year deprived the people of an opportunity of seeking justice, she said.
Keywords: President's rule, UP constitutional crisis, Mayawati, Lok Sabha polls, Samajwadi Party, UP politics, vote bank politics

Last time in this column we talked about saying, "I don't know" if we really don't know. It's also OK to say no when a request doesn't fit in with your priorities.
What the heck does that mean?
I think I'm getting a grasp. It's about organization.
We can try to do everything. That's a common desire of youth. I recently heard students who were in the top 10 of their graduating class talk about their student activities. Many were in a number of clubs and on sports teams in high school.
One said, "I think I have been in other clubs, but that's all I can remember."
Last Saturday, my teen daughter and our houseguest, Australian Sam, decided it was time to get outside and explore nature. I've recently hit a rough patch in life, and while I was initially uncertain about going along, they convinced me that fresh air and sunshine were exactly what I needed.
There were other things I needed, too. As we made our way to Turkey Run State Park, I sat in the backseat of the car with a box of fried chicken and a giant Coke. A good piece of fried chicken dipped in hot sauce goes a long way toward soothing an aching heart.
His name and particularly his voice are synonymous with the Indianapolis 500. He's been in movies with the likes of Tom Cruise and Will Ferrell. He has worked alongside the most well-known and famous stars of Indy car as well as NASCAR. He was on the original team that launched ESPN and later worked for NBC Sports.
And he lives right here in Crawfordsville.
Bob Jenkins recently sat down and talked about the life he's led and how he ended up moving to Crawfordsville last October. For some, it's a life that's hard to imagine. For the 67-year-old, despite some personal tragedies, it's one he's extremely thankful for.
"I'm just a race fan who got lucky," he said while sipping coffee in Allen's Country Kitchen in downtown Crawfordsville last week.
Jenkins knows about small towns. He grew up in Liberty, Ind., the county seat of Union County, just a short chute drive away from Ohio. It was a small town during a very different time.
Just in time, my newest Hammacher Schlemmer catalogue has arrived, I assume for Christmas 2015. Below are some actual items for sale.
Instant Pickleball Set: This game sets up in the yard in minutes. It combines the skills required for badminton, table tennis and regular tennis. I think we can all agree that when we want spur-of-the-moment enjoyment, the first thing we think of is combining three sports we are bad at. By the way, the national pickleball champion has been accused of deflating the balls in the competition. In pickleball, this is just not kosher.
The Giant Rubber Duckie: This 8-foot inflatable duck for the pool has a pretty good chance of turning up in your kids' nightmares. Here's what the catalogue says: "The Rubber Duckie has a bulbous aquatic form . . . with a bouncing buoyancy that compels wanton water play." There's a nightmare for writing teachers.
"[O]nly a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters . . . I have lived, Sir, a long time; and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this Truth, that God governs in the Affairs of Men. And if a Sparrow cannot fall to the Ground without his Notice, is it probable that an Empire can rise without his Aid? . . . We have been assured . . . in the Sacred Writings, that 'except the Lord build the House, they labor in vain that built it.' I firmly believe this . . ." – Benjamin Franklin
We often talk these days about the public sector (government) and the private sector and what role each should have. But we really should be including religious institutions as the third sector of any free society. As Benjamin Franklin noted, freedom thrives most in a society when individuals are driven by personal virtue to voluntarily cooperate with each other. And it is the proper role of our religious institutions to persuade men to live virtuous lives, putting their neighbor above themselves, to voluntarily feed the hungry, clothe the naked, care for widows and orphans.
There's no getting around it. Americans are using more medications and spending more for them. The latest evidence just came from Express Scripts, the pharmacy benefit manager, which acts as a middleman between drug makers and employers. The number of Americans—almost 600,000---with yearly medication costs of more than $50,000 rose 63 percent from 2013 to 2014. The group of patients with costs over $100,000 nearly tripled.
By any measure these are huge increases that don't signal much hope that the U.S. can bring down its medical spending, which is now over 17 percent of the country's national income. Express Scripts was frank about the long-term impact on employers and others who actually pay most of those bills. It's an "unsustainable $52 billion a year."
There's been a pretty impressive movement afoot for over a century or even more championing the idea that human beings are but complicated machines, nothing special at all in the world. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) folks tend to hold this view—machines, in time at least, will do whatever people can, maybe even much better than we do it, like thinking, feeling guilt, empathizing, regretting, apologizing, and the whole gamut of stuff many think is unique to human life. No, say the AI folks, it's just a matter of handling some of the technicalities and then, voila, we will have machines just like us. After all, aren't machines already doing many of the tasks most of us had once thought only people could do? Sure.

This week's guest is a fantabulous young man. He has his priorities straight and goes out to accomplish what he wants. Also, he's fairly unique that he went two years at the old high school and two years in the new CHS. For grade school, he attended Nicholson, and the Middle School in 6-8. It was at Tuttle that he found his first love, Jen Carroll. She ended-up his wife. Jen is now a first grade teacher at Hose. Although I had met, seen and heard of Jen's husband, Brett Motz, I didn't really get to know him until last semester when he became my lunch hour buddy at CHS. Since a bad break, I have no strength in my left arm, so I greatly appreciated Brett grabbing my Diet Dew bottle and opening it. I didn't however realize that I had lunch about every day with CHS baseball royalty.

We wanted to get out of town and found this placed tucked back in the mountains. It has great views and very peaceful. It is away from the tourists but yet close to several mountain towns. It was great to be able to take our dog to a nice place with us. We went to the near by state park and hiked for an entire day because it was so beautiful. We had stopped by the market on the way to the house so after our hike we were able to make a nice meal and enjoy the great evening views. I highly recommend this place as either a stop in your trip or a weekend getaway.
We found this place to be very calming. The views are great! It is tucked back so you don't have to bother with tourist but it is close to nice mountain towns. We were able to take our dog who goes every where with us. It is hard to find nice places that allow dogs. Being close to the state park made for a nice hike for us and the dog. I highly recommend this place as a getaway!
This is a beautiful mountain home. It was a great place to hold our retreat. It had plenty of room for our large group, but was still comfy and cozy at the same time. The views were incredible. I highly recommend it!!

Spain falls into recession amid fears of eurozone bank run
popular .
MADRID – Spain tumbled into recession and European stock markets and the euro fell Thursday as Greece installed a crisis government to tackle its crippling debt, EU leaders prepared for talks and analysts raised the spectre of a run on eurozone banks.
"Markets are worried about eurozone bank deposit runs and an escalating banking crisis," London-based VTB Capital economist Neil MacKinnon told Agence France-Presse.
Heavy withdrawals of deposits have been reported in Greece and Spain, and top European Union leaders were to hold a videoconference later in the day.
They were initially to discuss an upcoming G8 meeting of industrialised countries but were now faced with a serious deterioration of the situations in Greece and elsewhere across the eurozone.
A caretaker government took office in Athens on Thursday to organise its second election in six weeks after an inconclusive May 6 vote as fears over its possible euro exit rocked Spain and Italy.
The election left Greece in limbo and the new poll on June 17 offers no guarantee of a viable government able to implement an EU-IMF bailout which has divided the country.
Meanwhile, Europe's single currency nosedived to a four-month low at $1.2667.
"Confidence in European equities [is] quickly depleting, this time after the European Central Bank admitted it had stopped providing liquidity to some Greek banks," noted analyst Craig Erlam at trading group Alpari.
The ECB said Wednesday that it was no longer dealing with some Greek banks via the conventional credit window, Dow Jones Newswires reported, and has restricted the banks to "emergency lending assistance" from Greece's central bank that must be approved from month to month.
"Add this to the long list of other eurozone problems and investors are finding it very difficult to justify taking on the additional risk associated with the eurozone," Erlam said.
British Prime Minister David Cameron was to discuss the crisis with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, new French President Francois Hollande, Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti and top EU officials.
Their videoconference was originally called to discuss a G8 meeting in the United States at the weekend, but Cameron's office acknowledged that the eurozone was likely to come up as well.
On Thursday, Cameron renewed his call for eurozone leaders to take decisive action or face the break-up of the single currency.
Britain is not a eurozone member but the bloc is a key trading partner and fallout from the debt crisis is having a serious effect on the entire 27-member European Union.
"Either Europe has a committed, stable, successful eurozone with an effective firewall, well capitalised and regulated banks, a system of fiscal burden sharing, and supportive monetary policy across the eurozone.
"Or we are in uncharted territory which carries huge risks for everybody," Cameron warned.
Those risks were underscored in Madrid, where the national statistics institute INE said the fourth biggest eurozone economy had contracted by 0.3 percent in the first quarter of 2012.
That was the same decline seen in the last three months of 2011 and confirmed that Spain was officially in recession, defined as two straight quarters of economic contraction.
Italy, the third biggest eurozone economy, is also in recession, while number two France has only narrowly escaped a similar fate.
The Spanish government paid higher rates to place three- and four-year bonds with wary investors Thursday, while a state-controlled bank, Bankia, was reportedly hit by heavy withdrawals by clients, a dire situation seen also in Greece this week.
Germany's benchmark 10-year bond saw its own rate reach a new record low of 1.420 percent as investors fled to financial safe-havens.
Shares in Bankia, which was created in 2010 from a merger of seven savings banks, dropped by 9.79 percent to 1.493 euros in afternoon trading, while the Ibex-35 index of leading shares was off by 1.59 percent overall.
The daily newspaper El Mundo reported that Bankia managers told the board the bank had lost a "similar amount" of deposits this week as the 1.16 billion euros ($1.5 billion) withdrawn by clients in the first quarter of the year.
European stocks markets were rocked by the heightened tension, and fell in afternoon trading, with banking issues taking some of the heaviest losses.
London's benchmark FTSE 100 index was off by 1.38 percent at 5,330.45 points.
"Fears of a Greek exit from the eurozone continue to linger, despite insistence from European politicians and bureaucrats that there are no plans for the country to leave," said GFT analyst Fawad Razaqzada.
France's new finance minister, Pierre Moscovici, reiterated support for Greece, telling BFMTV: "The eurozone is a unified zone, it cannot break up."
In Italy, Prime Minister Mario Monti gave his full backing to the tax agency Equitalia, which has become a target for militant attacks and a focus for growing public anger against austerity.
Italian authorities have beefed up security for magistrates and business leaders and deployed military personnel to strategic locations in response to the threat, reminiscent of political militancy attacks in the 1970s and 1980s.
Monti met with agency managers in Rome to assure them of his "unconditional support and that of my government against numerous acts of intimidation and aggression."

Little payoff from Redskins' Lloyd, Duckett and Patten
ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins invested a lot to obtain Brandon Lloyd, T.J. Duckett and David Patten.
So far, they've yet to get much in return.
Lloyd has six catches in five games. Duckett has played in only one game. Patten was inactive for the first time in his career last week. For various reasons, none of the three has found a groove in Washington.
The Redskins sent two draft picks to San Francisco for Lloyd in March, then signed him to a long-term contract extension. Last year, he was the best receiver on a bad team. Now he's having trouble getting open and getting the ball on a team with higher expectations.
"That's hard to explain," coach Joe Gibbs said. "He's out there, he's on every route. He's playing a ton, and probably when we're really operating, he's going to be getting the ball."
Lloyd is on pace to catch 19 passes for the entire season, far from what is expected from the No. 2 receiver in any offense. He said he's adjusted well to the new scheme, but he's also had to adjust to playing in an offense that relies heavily on running back Clinton Portis and fellow receiver Santana Moss.
"I can think of two numbers that need to be called before my number," Lloyd said. "To make this team as successful as it was last year, the playmakers on this team last year need to get the touches before I do, so I'm not in a position to say anything. I'm not in a position to pout. I'm not in a position to be frustrated, because that's not going to help me when my number gets called."
That explanation doesn't mesh with the fact that Antwaan Randle El, the No. 3 wideout, already has 14 receptions with less playing time. Lloyd's slow start does, however, reflect the offense's inconsistency as a whole. The Redskins (2-3) had two explosive victories over Houston and Jacksonville, but the offense has scored only one touchdown in the other three games combined.
The way to stop the Redskins, if the first five weeks of the season are any indication, is to have the cornerbacks and safeties play the deep "Cover 2" zone. The receivers have become so sick of seeing it that Moss this week started to belittle defenses for using it.
"Cover 2, you don't have to do much. That ain't being a great pass defense," Moss said. "I've never played corner before, but I'll be a phenomenal corner in Cover 2."
The Redskins have tried to beat the zone with runs and short passes, but they can't keep their drives alive. The offense is only 6-for-13 in converting third downs with three yards or fewer to go. As a result, they ran only 45 plays in last week's 19-3 loss to the New York Giants.
"The receivers are a lot more difficult to get involved than a running back," assistant coach Al Saunders said. "A running back, you can hand them the ball. The receivers, you've got to throw the ball to them. It involves protection, it involves routes, it involves what the coverage is, it involves accurate throws."
At least Lloyd is getting a chance to make an impact. Duckett and Patten can't even get on the field.
The Redskins traded the equivalent of a third-round pick -- the exact compensation will be determined after the season -- to get Duckett from Atlanta, a move that smacked of panic because Portis had just gone down with a shoulder injury during preseason.
But Portis already had a backup, Ladell Betts. Even when Portis missed a game, Duckett was able to get only five carries for 24 yards. Otherwise, he hasn't played.
Gibbs keeps saying how badly he feels for the five-year veteran, but the coach said the trade was worth the price.
"That question wouldn't have been asked of me if Clinton had been out three straight games," Gibbs said. "Everyone would say, 'You fumbled that one, didn't you?"
Patten signed a $13 million, five-year contract as a free agent last year with expectations of being a No. 1 receiver after being part of an ensemble group in New England. He had only 22 catches in 2005 before injuring his knee in November, and the Redskins swatted him down the depth chart in the offseason when they signed Lloyd and Randle El. He has one catch this year for 25 yards.
Patten is 32. Duckett is 25. Neither expected to be a bench-warmer at this point in his career. To their credit, neither has publicly complained.
"It's been an experience, but that's part of the job," Duckett said. "You just prepare and prepare, and when your opportunity comes, take advantage of it."
Said Patten: "Everybody wants to play, everybody wants to suit up, but the bottom line is you're part of a team. You have roles that you have to fill and perform. My role (Sunday) was to be sort of a cheerleader from the sidelines."
Game notes
CB Shawn Springs took more work in practice Thursday and even had an interception, offering a glimmer of hope that he will make his season debut Sunday against Tennessee. "Getting better," said Springs, who has been out with abdomen and groin injuries. He is listed as questionable on the injury report. ... DE Phillip Daniels (back), DT Cornelius Griffin (hip), LB Marcus Washington (hip), G Derrick Dockery (leg) and Patten (thigh) did not practice, but all are listed as probable. P Derrick Frost (calf) returned to practice and is probable. DT Joe Salave'a (calf) is questionable.

Funhouse Atmosphere
Saturn's atmosphere is essentially transparent at wavelengths visible to the human eye, but when the view through the atmosphere is oblique, as it is along the planet's limb (edge), it will distort anything seen through it. The refracted image of the rings in this image taken by Cassini of Saturn's night side abruptly terminates where Saturn's high-altitude haze becomes opaque.
Saturn's F ring shepherd moon Prometheus (102 kilometers, or 63 miles across) hovers below the center. Had an image like this been taken a few minutes earlier, the appearance of Prometheus would also have been warped.
Near the left edge of the image, the appearance of the Encke Gap in Saturn's rings is being refracted. As the gap emerges from behind the planet, its image is bent less and less, following the decreasing density profile of the atmosphere with altitude. The appearance of the Cassini Division is warped as well, near the top of this scene. The refraction effect is slightly different in this visible light image than in a previously released infrared view (see Bending the Rings).
The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on April 28, 2005, at a distance of approximately 2 million kilometers (1.2 million miles) from Saturn. The image scale is 12 kilometers (7 miles) per pixel.
