Healthcare entrepreneurs can see the potential for a product's success in the raw concept, but the product must go through a critical testing phase to reach that potential.
Getting consumers to use a mobile app to play games or communicate through social media is one thing. Getting them to use a healthcare-related app is another.
Qualcomm founder Irwin Jacobs believes cell phones and telecommunications will play a major role in the future of healthcare. The most successful entrepreneur out of San Diego, he recently explained his thoughts on the future of healthcare during an interview with ID8 Nation.
Adam Berk had a vision of creating an online library where neighbors could borrow tools and electronics from one another. Why buy a fancy camera you only needed to use once for a big trip? Why invest the money in physical tools for a home remodeling project if you are never going to need them again? Adam and his best friend Dave spent 5 years creating this utopian community, neighborrow, powered by a new form of currency. Their business model was to eventually white label the product and sell it to large apartment buildings and others who wanted to facilitate a borrowing community. But they never achieved their vision.
Life science and digital health entrepreneurs -- and their companies -- can benefit from using the techniques of interaction design.

Here is the thing. GSP didn't retire. He said he is going away for a little bit. Rogan even asked him if he was retiring and GSP I believe so no, Or at least did not answer the question.
So, with that being said I can see Dana's reaction. The whole thing was very strange and something just isn't right. Who knows what it is, but I bet had Dana not said what he said most people would have the same kind of reaction.

Well the folders were created via a different machine right?
Its quite possible without knowing it you had set permissions on folders for accounts from that other machine. Just take ownership and change the permissions. Your best doing it from the root and redoing all the permissions on all the folders and files for this machine, or setting them to anyone/anon -- ie just wide open.
Its possible that you moved say this video folder from your old machine to your external drive? When you move stuff permissions are moved with them vs a copy where new copy takes on permissions of where it was copied too.
Posted 19 March 2013 - 15:40
How do I take ownership of them? It wont even let me view the properties.
Posted 19 March 2013 - 15:46
I believe the easiest way is to add 'Take Ownership' to the right-click menu, and then click that option after right-clicking each folder.
Posted 19 March 2013 - 15:46
Posted 19 March 2013 - 15:50
This is something I never understood. We know in most cases YOU DON"T HAVE to take owner ship. Well you do in Vista, 7 and 8 because for some reason they want to. But if you were to boot into a bartpe (XP PE) cd and try to read that same directory, you could, read it clear as day without taking ownership what so ever.

Biological Abstracts, also known as Biosis Previews, provides the most comprehensive coverage of worldwide literature in the life sciences. Biological Abstracts indexes approximately papers from 5,500 life science journals and 1,500 international meetings; review articles, books, and monographs are also monitored for inclusion. The index includes areas of biology such as agriculture, biochemistry, biotechnology, botany, ecology, genetics, immunology, medicine, microbiology, neuroscience, pharmacology, physiology, and zoology.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.

Beginning in a few months (September), The Cartoon Network will roll out another season of Ben 10, called Ben 10 Omniverse. This is the fourth installment of the Ben 10 series. In this series, Ben is a more mature 16-year-old. He actually travels back in time to assist himself as a 10-year-old boy. Both of them will be traveling side by side in the series.
Derrick J. Wyatt, who animated Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated and Transformers: Animated, designed the concept art and characters for Ben 10: Omniverse. The new cartoon style looks more like an anime character, as Ben 10's body appears a little bit taller and thinner. This design was first unveiled at 2012 UK Toy Fair.
Ben 10 started from scratch and its popularity has grown over these past 7 years, surpassing the likes of Cartoon Network staples, including Green Lantern, Teen Titans, and Batman. Studios have been struggling for some time to reinvent these other comic book stories. However, Ben 10 is now the network's hottest franchise, selling billion of dollars worth of merchandise and setting record ratings.
So what's the plot line for this new series? No one knows exactly for sure, but what we do know is that Ben is able to transform into 10 aliens now. He can also drive, date, and stay out late, so parents: Watch out! He seeks to explore a secret alien city with his Grandpa Max, but must fight aliens from the past. A new enemy seeks to destroy him….and the list goes on. One question remains: Are you ready for it?
In case you missed it, a sneak peak at the new Ben 10 series aired during Ben 10 Week (March 19, 2012 – March 24, 2012)!

Discussion in 'BUILD OFF 6 FINISHED BIKES' started by Double Nickle, Jul 25, 2011.
Looks great. LOVE the handlebars!
Incredible bike Tyler...voting this year is going to be impossible. :shock:
Nice job ,Tyler we missed ya at Cyclefest this year but it sounds like your keeping busy on your end of the country, I think you captured the style and finish of your original plan, all it needs is a heavy coating of SALT!!!!
Beautiful! i hope my son is as talented as you are at your age!
Very well done!! I love everything about it!
Thanks guys!
Man great RAT,I only wish when I was 16 I had the talent to build something of this quality :mrgreen: This is one of the sickest rat bikes ever!!!!!!!! 8) :mrgreen:
Shameless plug... I like it...(and I "Liked" it).
Bang up job, I love this thing!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the feedback guys! Its a good feeling knowing that all this hard work payed off! 8)
Really nice work on the bike, it's a beauty. And it was a great build to follow too.
I hope you do well in the voting. You've got a vote from me anyways. And if there's any justice in this world it'll do well.
WOW, great looking bike. Congrats on your build, fantastic job!!!!!
Great Build - Impressive! Boy the Voting this Year is going to be Tough
Biker Butch AZ. 8)
Here's my gift to you boy. :mrgreen:

Too crazy man 8) Thanks Steve!
Not sure what you mean. Are you talking about the blue jewel?
Whoa, contest over. Awesome job.
Turned out great Tyler! I hated seeing the tank come off for the flat plate, (I always thought flat inserts were for when the real thing was missing ), but the overall finished bike is a work of art. (Actually several works of art - artfully assembled!) I may not make it down to your show to see it in person, but hopefully you will bring it up this way in September! Well done!

Yea I agree with you Nick. I haven't got a new CoD game since Black Ops 2 and I have no intention what-so-ever in getting Ghosts, or any new Battlefield for that matter.
Well to be fair, there haven't been any new CoD games since Black Ops 2.... Ghost is the latest one that just came out after BO2. So that really doesn't make much sense.

This is Why Everything Will Be OK
Determined to pull myself out of my gloomy mood, I marched along through the night, a bogus smiled plastered across my face...
...completely oblivious of the shovel in my path.
Yeah, right in the crotch.
I wasn't aware stuff like that happened in real life without the involvement of Bob Saget and a live studio audience, but apparently the world is full of shovels just lying in wait for an unassuming groin to brutally attack. Nobody is safe. Nobody.
I hobbled home, tears welling up in my eyes, loins throbbing with pain, and spent the rest of the night with a bag of frozen vegetables on my lap.
In the morning, things hadn't improved. As a matter of fact, they'd gotten worse. Upon awaking I was horrified to discover that one of the ol' family jewels had swelled to an alarming size after taking the brunt of the evil shovel's assault. Now, it's always been my intention to keep this blog family friendly (well, sort of) so I hope this visual allusion will suffice in lieu of an actual drawing of my damaged genitals:
I imagine this would have been the final straw, sending me into a month-long misery spiral of Cool Ranch Doritos and Fiona Apple music, if not for my infallible optimism––an optimism which is tied solely to a story my friend told me once, a story she divulged in utter confidence. A story recited in hushed verse, so sorrowful it seemed to take on the delicate beauty of prayer. A story I promised never to tell.
Until now.
(Did I mention I'm a terrible confidante?)
My friend––let's call her Jessica, to protect her identity––was fast asleep one night next to her boyfriend, dreaming peacefully of horses or Jimmy Choos or whatever it is girls dream about, not a care in her pretty little head...
...when suddenly, she awoke, blood running cold as ice.
She had shit her pants in her sleep.
Now, I've spent many hours trying to imagine what must run through your head upon realizing that you've literally shit the bed. I reckon it's a fear you can never recover from. Marie Curie once said "Nothing in life is to be feared." Marie Curie obviously never shit her fucking panties in her sleep.
Luckily, my friend was indeed wearing underwear, and everything was mercifully contained. With her boyfriend sleeping soundly, she leapt into action.
Flinging herself from the bed, she bolted to the bathroom where she hurriedly disposed of her undergarments and cleaned herself off.
I can only imagine what she must have felt then, huddled in a ball on the shower floor, knowing that no matter how long she let the scalding water wash over her, she'd never truly be clean again.
Jessica's is the voice that drifts through my head whenever my life is looking grim. There are times when my checking account is overdrawn, or when I screw up files at work, or when I'm afraid someone might finally discover the body of that hooker I buried in Washington Park, but I always stop and remind myself that things could be worse. Perhaps I have a limited scope of the world if the worst thing I can imagine is sleep-pooping, but it's what works for me. It's my way of telling myself that everything will be OK.

One night, my wife, who was sick at the time, woke me up in the middle of the night to tell me we needed to move to the pullout bed in the living. Turns out she had a similar incident, sans underwear.ReplyDelete
You don't think about that kinda thing while making your vows, you know?
My buddy (religion major and atheist) decided to go to church one Easter Sunday for observation purposes. He woke up early, dressed nice, and headed out to his car. When he got to his vehicle, he noticed the driver side and adjacent back doors ajar. When he opened the door, he was first hit by the smell. Of shit. In a pile. On the driver's seat. Upon further investigation, it wasn't only in the driver's seat. In fact, it *ended* in the drivers seat, only after this person (or animal, or living statue) entered the car from the back seat, shitting, climbed across the back seat and over-top his favorite baseball cap and a book, shitting, up and OVER the driver's seat, shitting, and relieving the rest into a pile on the driver's seat. Apparently, my buddy's car was not the only one vandalized by shit that evening.ReplyDelete
So whenever I have a bad day or something equivalent, I just remember "At least nobody shit in my car."
Have an excellent day! And keep writing... I love your stories.

oh. my. god. this made my day. i had a best friend that shit so furiously/ violently one time that she literally shot her tampon out of her vajayjay into the toilet in the process. picture that one. ewww.ReplyDelete
I have an "it could be worse" story that gets me through bad days... however, it has to do with where and how I started my first period. Ever. As an adolescent girl. Not pretty- don't think the world is ready for that story yet.ReplyDelete
I can't lie.... I laughed for a good five minutes just at the expression of poor "Jessica" in the shower.ReplyDelete
That being said, it doesn't take much to make me laugh for five minutes.
Oh shit! that was YOUR dead hooker in Washington Park? Oh my bad man, I'm sorry, I'll put her back.ReplyDelete
Also, excellent slam on Jersey Shore, much appreciated!
First, your blog the is bomb, kid.ReplyDelete
Second, you reminded me that I once pissed myself-- in church-- at age twelve.
I nodded off during the sermon, then awakened to the noise of my river of urine rushing off the faux leather seats, flowing towards the front of the church.
It was literally a stream... I saw Baby Moses floating by in a basket.
My grandmother was sitting next to me, trying to hand me tissues from a little ditzy ten-pack.
That'll teach me to take communion.
Dude, I just found your blog through Stumble Upon and read all of 2010 in one sitting. You are awesome. This one right here made me literally laugh myself to tears. I sent it to my friends.ReplyDelete

Yeah. A similar thing happened to my step-dad while he was sick. And if it'll help your friend feel any better, it was diarrhea and my parents had a memory-foam mattress which is apparently pretty absorbent. And to make it worse, it was my mother who woke up first.ReplyDelete

I was at my step-mother's funeral, and they were going to stick the coffin into one of those wall vaults.ReplyDelete
The hole was covered by a heavy velvet curtain. And I just had to have a look you know? Usually you don't get to see one of those while you're still alive.
So I moved the curtain ever so slightly.... and who knew? It was held up by a pole that had the most feeble spring ever invented by man, which over time had gotten even more feeble.
The curtain fell to the ground with a WHUMP. Leaving this gaping concrete hole.
and a WHOLE LOT of PISSED OFF relatives had to file by this thing, cuz I couldn't get it back on.
The funeral directors were grim looking, but secretly were enjoying themselves as this is the most entertainment they can possibly get.
By the way, there's a paradise of unicorns and rainbows in that vault they don't tell you about.

Comfortable, good quality shoe. Which is suitable for a foot requiring a wide fitting shoe. A little larger than expected although a heel grip sorted the problem.

The Franco-Spanish Calle Mayor (aka Main Street and The Lovemaker) is an excellent showcase for the underrated and brilliant American actress Betsy Blair. In a reprise of her characterization in Marty, Blair plays Isabelle, a repressed, unmarried 35-year-old. As a cruel joke, a group of middle-aged men persuade a handsome but thick-headed hunk named Juan (Jose Suarez) to romance the reclusive Isabelle. When it becomes clear that she is hopelessly in love with him, the pangs of conscience begin exercising their prerogative on Juan. He is able to extricate himself from this awkward emotional entanglement, but the price that he and Isabelle are forced to pay is precious indeed. Calle Mayor was able to secure American bookings on the strength of the success of director Juan Antonio Bardem's previous film Death of a Cyclist.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The Southeast Oklahoma Rural Health Network (SORHN), a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit, recently changed its name to Rural Health Network (RHN) of Oklahoma. The change comes as efforts increase to improve access to health care for individuals living in Southeast Oklahoma and surrounding areas. RHN members include: Choctaw Memorial Hospital, Pushmataha Family Medical Center, Pushmataha Hospital, McCurtain County Hospital, Kiamichi Family Medical Center and Little Dixie Action Agency, Inc. RHN will be soon adding a critical access hospital and an additional hospital to its network.
Health Information Exchange
In concert with its mission to work collaboratively with healthcare and community organizations to improve the health or rural Oklahoma, one of RHN's initial projects was helping its members integrate with a Health Information Exchange (HIE), called MyHealth Access. An HIE is a centralized system for storing healthcare information electronically across organizations within a region, community or hospital system.
The goal is to provide easy access to clinical data in a manner that is safe, secure, timely and efficient so that patient-centered care and continuity of patient care is the main focus. This data could include patient history, doctor's notes, medications, allergies and other pertinent information. HIEs are designed to reduce duplicative services, medical errors and other problems that could compromise patient health while reducing health care costs.
RHN's role was to establish collaborations with hospitals, physicians, insurers and other caregivers for HIE access.
"Health information technology affords us the means to improve efficiencies as it relates to patient records," said RHN Director Stacie Pace. "If a doctor has the full scope of a patient's history, whether in the emergency room or during a regular primary care visit, that patient-provider experience is improved exponentially. A complete patient record reduces medical errors, duplicative services which cost both the patient and doctor time and money."
Since this initiative began, RHN's provider-members have integrated with MyHealth Access Network, or are close to completing implementation. RHN provides HIE discounts to its members.
Electronic Medical Records: Health care reform has made it necessary for rural health networks like RHN to a play a major role in helping providers meet meaningful use standards, a mandate of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. In July of 2010, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) established three stages of meaningful use: use of electronic health records (EHRs) in a meaningful manner; electronic exchange of health information to improve the quality of patient care; and use of EHRs in a manner that allows providers to demonstrate quality clinical measures. Incentive plans are available for eligible providers to implement EHRs. However, those who do not may be subject to a financial penalty.
RHN provides IT services to help providers effectively implement EHRs and circumvent workflow issues. This service includes everything from help with selecting the right EHR provider to rolling out a full EHR system that meets meaningful use standards. Staff training and ongoing consultation are provided. "We can literally deploy an IT team to help providers integrate with an EHR system, and handhold staff post implementation to ensure all involved are properly acclimated," Pace said. "Undoubtedly, there are learning curves. Workflow and interoperability issues are among the hurdles. However, we are equipped to help make sense out of EHR adoption so that Medicare and Medicaid eligible providers can meet meaningful use stands and receive financial incentives as opposed to financial penalties."
Health Reform: ACA Health Insurance Marketplace: The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) is another initiative that RHN will play an active role. "Our goal is to simply present the facts," Pace said. "We will take an unbiased stance to ensure communities understand ACA mandates and the Health Insurance Marketplace. We will also partner with Little Dixie, a recent recipient of a grant to serve as a Health Insurance Marketplace navigator." Navigators must undergo several hours of training for certification. Their role is to help individuals, families and small business enroll in the Marketplace which opens October 1, 2013.
Prescription Drug Abuse: Another project RHN will take on is helping doctors, patients, pharmacists and law enforcement combat prescription drug abuse. With support from grant funds, RHN will leverage a speaking circuit to address this issue along with several county health improvement organizations (CHIOS) to get the word out. "In Oklahoma, we know that more overdose deaths are due to hydrocodone than methamphetamines, heroin and cocaine—combined," Pace said. "This is a huge problem. Education – on every level – is the key to reducing incidences of prescription drug abuse and overdose deaths."
Human Resource Compliance: Protecting companies from workforce-related compliance issues is another service RHN provides. Its Human Resources Compliance System is designed to help health systems, organizations and businesses operate under current law. The system offers an automated, turnkey and in some instances, paperless approach to handbooks, forms, employee files and other resources that help businesses stay fully compliant with new laws, court rulings and other critical issues that could jeopardize a company's reputation and finances. "We've created a cost-effective way for companies to stay compliant with ever-changing regulations," Pace said. "This system offers peace of mind during audits or even in the case of an employee lawsuit."
Member Services: "As we take some bold steps to push RHN out into the forefront, we also have our members in mind," Pace said. "We will be promoting their services to increase awareness about what's available to consumers. We want to help promote our members' successes, too. We are all in this together. When one of us wins, we all win."
Pace also said RHN is unwrapping an integrated marketing campaign to promote member services, network programs, services, and a new, user-friendly web site.
For more information, contact Stacie Pace at 580.326.3351(office), 580.372.0966 (cell), or email@example.com. RHN will soon unveil RHNofOklahoma.org.

Paul Merson
Football Expert & Columnist @PaulMerse
Raf and ready
Merse predicts a big win for Benitez, defeat for the North East clubs and more agony for QPR.
Last Updated: 23/11/12 5:00pm
As ever, you can follow all the Premier League action this weekend on Sky Sports.
We asked Soccer Saturday expert Paul Merson to look at the fixtures and give us his verdict on where the games will be won and lost.
Every week he'll be here on skysports.com to share his views on who he expects to be the winners and losers of the weekend.
Ford Super Sunday: Chelsea v Man City
3.30pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD
I'm not sure about Rafa Benitez going to Chelsea. I just don't get it.
Roman Abramovich wants to play a certain way, but I've said on Soccer Saturday loads of times that they won't win anything playing that way because they're too open. They're not good enough at the back and they don't provide any protection.
Roberto Di Matteo has got the sack for playing the football that Abramovich wants and now they've got someone in who plays completely the other way. Benitez will make them tighter, but to do that then the three amigos - Oscar, Hazard and Mata - can't all play at the same time. Suddenly the chairman will want to know why all these players that he's spent a fortune on aren't playing!
He's a good manager, don't get me wrong, but when he was at Liverpool he often went out trying not to lose games, rather than trying to win them. He took Liverpool as close to the title as they have been for a long time by doing that, but I don't see how that's going to work for Abramovich.
Fernando Torres had his best time in England under Benitez and I'd have thought he will get the best out of him, but I can't see them winning the league this season. Watch this space, I suppose.
This is a nice first game for him. If they get beat he can say it's not his fault because he's only just taken over and if he wins then he's an instant hero. He'd rather have this game than Sunderland at home or whatever.
He's had some quotes that have upset Chelsea fans over the last few years. He spoke about them giving out flags to get an atmosphere and things like that, but if they beat Man City then you know what football fans are like; they'll all be cheering his name from the rafters. All fans just want to see a winning football team.
I think the Benitez factor and the injury to Vincent Kompany might just see Chelsea win this game, but I'd still take Man City to win the league. They haven't lost a game yet and being out of the Champions League will be a big advantage.
Ford Super Sunday: Swansea v Liverpool
1pm, Sun, Sky Sports 1 HD
Swansea have done well lately and I don't think they need to do anything different against Liverpool.
I know it's Liverpool and I know it's the return of Brendan Rodgers, but I don't think they need to raise their game more than they normally would. They have a good chance here.
Ashley Williams had a big dig at Luis Suarez in his book, so it will be interesting to see what happens when those two come face to face. It'll also be interesting if Suarez scores because I'm sure he'll make a beeline for him!
I still think Liverpool rely on Suarez too heavily though. In the first half against Wigan they didn't look like scoring in a month of Sundays, but then Suarez got involved and it was suddenly all over.
Beating Wigan 3-0 is a better result than people realise. Remember, Wigan went and won at Spurs two weeks ago, they're no pushovers, and the momentum is building for Liverpool. They haven't lost in their last seven league games, so things aren't going too bad for Rodgers.
But I honestly think Swansea are a threat and deserve to be respected. Michu is the one who arrives late and scores goal, but Pablo Hernandez might be the main threat. He looks lively and could be an unknown quantity for Liverpool.
I'm going for a Desmond.
Ford Football Special: Sunderland v West Brom
12.30pm, Sat, Sky Sports 2 HD
I tipped West Brom to beat Chelsea last week and I'm backing them again here.
They play brilliant counter-attacking football, both home and away, and get their shape very quickly behind the ball. All of the players know what they're doing and they break with unbelievable pace.
Sunderland will be buoyed after their last two games (a good display against Everton and a very good win at Fulham) and their confidence will be back, but I think that may make them push on.
That could play into West Brom's hands because they love to catch teams on the counter-attack. Shane Long, Peter Odemwinigie and Romelu Lukaku provide speed no matter what combination they go with up front.
They're playing outstanding football, but I wouldn't get too carried away with them just yet. They need to get to 40 points first and there's still a lot of the season to go.
But they are playing very well and I think they'll win this match.
Everton v Norwich
I didn't see Everton losing to Reading or Norwich beating Man United last week - but that's the Premier League all over (you don't see shocks like that in any other top league in the world). Norwich are flying now and this is a much harder fixture for Everton than it would have been five weeks ago, but I'd still be surprised if it's not a home win.
Man Utd v QPR
What can QPR expect to get out of this game? Air miles... and that's about it! We had some big shocks in the Premier League last week, but this would be the biggest shock of them all. QPR haven't won in 12 games and they were well beaten by Southampton at home last week, so I just can't see it. I've got to go for a comfortable home win.
Stoke v Fulham
This is the home banker of the week. With no Brede Hangeland I don't see how Fulham can cope with the corners and the throw-ins of Stoke. They're a small team and he heads everything for them and I just see Fulham being under the cosh from every single set piece.
Wigan v Reading
This is an important game for Reading. They've won their first match now and they need to make sure they get at least a draw because that will keep the momentum going. If they get beat, then the win over Everton goes out of the window a little bit. I'll go for 1-1 - and that would be a good result for Reading.
Aston Villa v Arsenal
I'm sure Aston Villa will play well at times in this game. They'll be enthusiastic and show a lot of energy, but over 90 minutes I don't see them beating Arsenal. If the game was 65 minutes long it might be different, but I see them running out of steam. Aston Villa would need to play to their maximum and Arsenal would need to be poor, so I'm going for an away win.
Southampton v Newcastle
Newcastle haven't exactly set the league on fire this season and this is a big game for them. Southampton got a great result against QPR last week and need to get another result to keep their momentum going. I've watched Southampton in the last two games and they've played well, so I'm just going for them again here.
Tottenham v West Ham
If Emmanuel Adebayor had stayed on the pitch it would have been a different game last week because Tottenham were the better team early on against Arsenal. West Ham were shocking in the first half against Stoke, but were very good after the break and will make it difficult for them. However, Tottenham have a better quality of player and I don't think West Ham are lethal enough. Jermain Defoe could make all the difference.

The America in the Next Seat
I've told this story before in one venue or another, but I think that—72 hours after the election—it's good for one last recounting before I retire it. Two and a half years ago I was on a flight from Los Angeles to New York when the woman in the next seat picked a fight with me about the Affordable Care Act, which was on the verge of passing the Senate. She and I had gotten along well enough until then, though our interaction mostly entailed me helping her find the outlet to plug in her laptop; peering over my shoulder, however, she surmised (not incorrectly, it should be acknowledged) what my position was based on the website I was looking at, and she wanted to set me straight. "You know what the difference is between us?" she finally concluded about 15 futile minutes later. "I'm a responsible person and you're not." I confess I didn't know what to say to this other than what I didn't ask, which was whether she had children, who rather exponentially up the responsibility quotient of one's life; I didn't ask because I knew the answer, and I also knew that, as a woman, she was of an age when this could be a profoundly painful matter. I couldn't bring myself to win an argument at that cost. It may also be that it was as unfair of me to assume this was someone for whom responsibility was something she took only for herself as it was of her to assume it was something I didn't take at all.
I thought about this woman during the past campaign, and I think of her now, along with the other person I'm thinking about at the moment: Dean Chambers. Dean Chambers never sat next to me on a plane as far as I know; as far as I'm aware I have never met him at all and was unfamiliar with him until only the last couple of weeks. Chambers stepped in to fill a distinct need for that other America in the adjoining seat on this national flight: He became the anti-Silver, Silver being Nate, The New York Times analyst who was the flotation device many of us clung to when it felt like our half of the plane was going down. As even many non-pols know by now, Silver correctly chose the eventual winner in the presidential race in 50 out of 50 states, improving on his miserable 49-out-of-50 performance in the 2008 contest, also accurately predicting the popular vote and missing the precise electoral count only because he does some weird averaging thing among the states' numbers, the only part of his methodology that willfully conforms to statistical laws over reality. By the eve of the election, when Silver said the president's odds of winning were nine to one, even many who hoped he was right had to wonder. It became routine for the right to lambaste Silver, Chambers doing so personally on an ongoing basis while conducting his own "analysis" of the polls, by which he projected Republican nominee Mitt Romney's victory.
It would be unfair to mock the way in which conservative commentators desperately embraced Chambers, since progressive commentators did the same with Silver. If there's anything different it's that Silver's numbers were based on objective models and that his congregation on the left nonetheless continued to entertain and express doubt while those in Next Seat America exuded not only greater and greater certainty but the now-customary contempt for that opiate of the elite: information. Besides presumptions regarding responsibility as they pertain to strangers you just met five miles over the Grand Canyon, such differences between certainty and doubt, between absolutism and ambiguity distinguish the opposing psychological types of the political divide as much as anything. More than disappointment or even dismay, on Election Night the prevailing sentiment among those who translated Chambers' computations into pronouncements as to who would win the election was palpable shock. Even the less hyper-oxygenated like George F. Will and Peggy Noonan were unable to resist the seduction that led Chambers, Karl Rove, Dick Morris, and Michael Barone to promise that Romney would win—and by a lot.
This will sound more mocking than I mean it to. It's not a matter of gloating over who was right and who was so wrong; it's a matter of confirming what's become increasingly apparent to anyone dispassionate enough to fathom it, whatever his or her political philosophy. The American right has an increasingly troubled relationship, replete with bouts of domestic violence, with the truth as the rest of the world perceives it: The world's weather patterns are changing, and people have something to do with it. Women sometimes get pregnant when they're raped. The Constitution, in which God is never mentioned or alluded to either explicitly or euphemistically, is not a Christian document. The president never has "apologized" for the country at home or anywhere else. In the last four years the president has never raised taxes. More private-sector jobs have been created in three years under this president than were in eight years under his predecessor. Under the current administration, the size of government in terms of people who work for it has shrunk, not grown. Government is not taking over the nation's health-care system. No government tribunals are consigning senior citizens to death. Out of roughly 300 million votes cast in recent American elections, fraud cases have numbered 86. The policies of this administration are not socialistic by any practical or abstract definition that has existed in the 160-some years between Karl Marx's early writings and Inauguration Day 2008. The now and future president wasn't secretly born in Kenya. Barack Obama is an American.
All of this is important because it explains in no small part how those on the right lost. In no small part they lost because they created a Barack Obama who bore no resemblance to one whom anybody else recognized; by choosing to run against this illusory Obama, they lost credibility. For 40 years I've believed, as recently as a lunch conversation a week ago with my friend and American Prospect colleague John Powers, that conservatives are correct when they argue this is a center-right country. I still believe that for much of these four decades that's been the case, that the underlying sensibility of the country is moderately conservative. The enormity of what happened 72 hours ago—in macro terms and micro, from Obama's re-election to a more Democratic Senate to passage of marriage-equality and marijuana-legalization propositions to, most significantly, the shattering defeat of big money—is that this no longer is necessarily the case. This isn't to say that the public voted for big government or even "progressivism," whatever that is; but it did vote for a world in which numbers add up, even as Fox News' apparatchiks frantically search for a new math by which less is more and more is less. The Obama Years have represented for the right a strategic assault on the Daniel Patrick Moynihan maxim about opinions not being facts and about not being entitled to confuse the two: Oh yeah? said the America in the Next Seat. Watch us. While "facts" perjure themselves sometimes, however, math testifies under oath. The center-right country hasn't become a left country or even center-left; it may not even be center-center. Rather in the face of fantasists of various toxicity from Akin to Murdoch, from Joe Walsh to Allen West, the country voted for a different kind of apex: the real-real, in all its American pluralism; and for the rest of the trip, those who can't or won't grasp that calculus may find themselves on a different flight altogether, finally stranded in a different place.

To the right wing, the word "responsible" means "lucky": lucky enough to be born into the right family, or at least the right neighborhood with the right first language, skin color and religion; or lucky enough to pick the right stock at the right time and have enough cash to buy it; and lucky enough not to lose one's job, fall behind on one's mortgage (or have a bank that arrogantly and in error THOUGHT you fell behind!), have an expensive disease or accident, etc. If you miss out on one of those points, NO MATTER HOW HARD you work and how many responsibilities you TRY to fulfill, you are deemed "irresponsible" by the right. You are one of the 47 percent of "takers" no matter how much you have given, if you did not get and keep as much compensation for your work as they got and kept for their (possibly much less) work.
The lack of "responsibility" in this attitude is seen in the fact that AT ANY TIME one of them might involuntarily become one of the "irresponsible" people that they despise. Some of them, in reality, ALREADY ARE in that position but they refuse to recognize reality.
In summary, the people who are currently on top economically should be seen by the rest of us analogously to the way some handicapped activists refer to people without handicaps: the "temporarily" able-bodied!
I hope the lady who sat next to you on that flight is still fortunate enough to be able to look down on the "irresponsible", since I do not wish trouble on anyone. But there is a chance she may not be so fortunate today. If this is true, she has my condolences.
All of us should be responsible for ourselves, but also for one another.

"Silver correctly chose the eventual winner in the presidential race in 50 out of 50 states, . . . missing the precise electoral count only because he does some weird averaging thing among the states' numbers.
Further bolstering Mr. Silver's reputation, I hope, I want to say that I used his analysis--and solely his analysis--to make ultimate red/blue electoral-vote predictions without Mr. Silver's "weird averaging thing" and it resulted in hitting the electoral vote count precisely. The only thing I had to do on my own was guess about Florida, which Mr. Silver's analysis showed as an exact 50-50 split.
In his narratives, Mr. Silver emphasized that he was not predicting specific outcomes, but rather was calculating the
of various outcomes, according to his own special model. The fact that he gave Mr. Romney only a 9.1% probability of winning the electoral vote did not really mean that he predicted Mr. Obama would win the electoral vote. Rather, it meant that--at the probabilities--if the election were held 11 times, Mr. Romney would be expected to win it only once. These, indeed, were electoral projections done right. The genius was in the model Mr. Silver created, which proved to be magnificent.
