Saginaw is a small city in Tarrant County, Texas, United States, and a Inner suburb of Fort Worth. The population was 19,806 at the 2010 United States Census.[3] Saginaw, Texas is a Home rule municipality.
The area was settled before the Civil War as an agricultural community, and was named Dido (a name which lives on in some area roads). Three railroad lines came through the area in the 1880s, the Chicago, Rock Island and Gulf Railway (a subsidiary of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad), the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway and the Fort Worth and Denver City Railway.[4]
The town was renamed Saginaw in 1882 by Jarvis J. Green (after his first choice of "Pontiac" was rejected by the United States Postal Service), who had lived and worked on Saginaw Street in Pontiac, Michigan.[1] The name Saginaw comes from the Ojibwe language and means "to flow out." It is also the name of a river, a bay, and a city in Michigan.

Alchemy – The Georgia Burn: 2009
All photos by Clint Miller
In terms of American festivals and cultural events, Burning Man has evolved into one the most notorious and intriguing out there. As it has become increasingly more popular since coming into being in the '80s, it has spurred a growing amount of regional "Burns" as well as an entire subculture. At the beginning of this month, I stepped into this wacky world for the first time at Georgia's mini-version of Burning Man, called Alchemy. I consider myself a very seasoned veteran when it comes to music festivals, but this would be an entirely different experience altogether. All Burns adhere to what is called Burning Man's "10 Principles", a sort of hippie ten commandments. Of these principles, there are two big things that really set this experience apart from others. First, rather than being just a spectator to others' art, everyone who attends is expected to be an artist and contribute to the event. There are not really bands to see or anything (although plenty of bad techno DJs, but I'll get to that). The attendees are the entertainment. Secondly, the festival adheres to strict decommodification, meaning that no one is allowed to buy or sell anything at the Burn. Instead, exchanges are only supposed to occur in one direction, in the form of "gifting" someone else. These rules are almost completely adhered to, so there is no vendors of any kind on site.
As hippie as all of this sounds, it is a decidedly different beast than the trustafarian-filled, bro-rific jamband scene. The types of people who were at Alchemy seemed rather diverse and the whole vibe was of its own unique, distinct feel. If anything, the music subculture most represented here was ravers. The rave scene that flourished across the US only a decade ago seemed to be all but annihilated after being heavily targeted by law officials due to its inextricable link to illegal drugs. And let's face it, it was as much a fad as disco. But it seems the remnants of the electronic music party community have found refuge in these Burns, and are even beginning to flourish in it. I learned that the property where Alchemy was held also hosts monthly ravey camp outs. I knew there had to be some small fraction of that scene that wouldn't accept the move to uppity clubs or give it up, and it turns out they are burners now.
We left Atlanta early in the afternoon on Thursday and didn't arrive until dark after dealing with two different flat tires among our caravan. After getting through the gate swiftly, we stopped at Connexus, which was sort of the home base of the whole festival. There is a huge map where each themed camp can identify where they are located and there is a schedule where everyone can list any events they are having. Those of us who were "Burn virgins" had to go through a brief initiation ceremony there, and then we went off around the property to figure out where we wanted to set up our camp. After a lot of indecision and driving around, we settled a place near the base of the hill where the effigy stood. Another difference between this and the many other camping festivals I've attended is that a vehicle couldn't be near your camp unless it was transformed into art, so after setting up, we had to take our cars to a parking lot away from the camping area.
Our camping group decided to go with the theme of "Alchemists Anonymous". Our contribution to the event would come in the form of lots of games and a ridiculously vast amount of alcohol to freely dispense. The first night was a blur, but I spent almost all of it nearby our campsite. There was a lo-fi rollercoaster built on the large hill near us where someone would sit on a chair on wheels and roll down a wooden track complete with jump ramps. It was called "The Bleeder", and it had no problem living up to its name as two of our crew ended up getting some serious bruises and scrapes after crashing into and breaking through one of the ramps.
After passing out early, I also woke up early to find that the Burn was still partying strong at dawn. Many people brought entire PA systems and a generator to power them so that they could play techno at every hour, and there was nowhere to escape the loud, pounding sounds of ravers. I spent the morning hanging by the large fire that was burning all weekend long while grabbing beers from the keg. Eventually we hosted a game of Twister on a homemade super-sized board and then I finally explored around the property. There were some open fields, some hills, and some road trails going through the woods. Each camping area had a different theme, and everybody seemed to be going all out.
That night we loaded up a mobile bar and wheeled it around from place to place mixing up drinks for festival attendees. Flurries of activity and craziness abounded around every corner. Costumes, megaphones, dancers, and lots of fire everywhere. After returning to camp and rallying, we headed to "Area 51″, pretty much the coolest chill area, located deep in the woods. They had couches and candles and lasers, and it seemed to definitely be the most popular late night spot. Eventually the nights' shenanigans faded into darkness and it was Saturday late in the morning. We decided to spend the early afternoon hijacking a friend's sound system after the constant techno rave out was getting to us. We drank wine while listening to a mix of indie faves like Animal Collective, Of Montreal and Grizzly Bear, and we even attracted a few nudists dancing around with umbrellas.
After spending the late afternoon trading off riding around a borrowed motorcycle, everybody headed up the hill to see the effigy get lit on fire. This was the main event of the Burn, and everyone in the entire place gathers around for it. There was a huge drum circle, and dancers, and music makers, and I discovered that I completely forgot how to play a trumpet. There were volunteers blocking out a large perimeter around the effigy and not letting anyone get very close. The theme of this year's Burn was "Shock and Awe", and they did just that when it was time for the fire. Huge explosions and giant mushroom clouds blew up all around the effigy before it went up in a blaze. I don't think I have ever felt something as intensely hot in my entire life as the explosions against my lightly sunburned face. The Effigy burned while everyone celebrated, and as it was almost completely destroyed, we headed back down the hill to set up our bar. The night before had taken its toll on it, and it was no longer very mobile, so we just set up shop at the base of the effigy hill.
At some point while we were mixing drinks for everyone, someone warned us of not giving alcohol to underage kids. After hours and hours of partying, we brilliantly decided that the only way we could tell if people were of age was to look at their pubes. That quickly morphed into demanding to see people's genitals in exchange for drinks. Only in an atmosphere like Alchemy could this work out so perfectly. Just about everyone we encountered played along, and there was a whole bunch of nakedness. Eventually we abandoned the bar and headed back to Area 51 and then back to the bonfire, and then at some unknown point, to bed. The festival continued until Monday morning, but we decided to go back to Atlanta Sunday after we woke up.
Overall, the entire experience was pretty damn amazing. I wondered how entertained I would be at a festival without bands to see, but that forced me and everyone I was with to entertain ourselves, and I had an incredible time. Before going, I was skeptical that I would be able to get into the whole spirit of the thing, but by the end I was wearing a mini-skirt and war paint on my face. There was an electricity in the air at this thing, and its power was undeniable. I highly recommend checking out Alchemy or any other Burn, as I'm already scheming up what I'm going to do next year.

Wendy Williams Goes (Nearly) Makeup Free In Photoshoot
Whenever celebrities participate in makeup free or minimal makeup photoshoots, I get a little bit of happiness. I'm definitely NOT a makeup wearer (but on few special occasions) and never was a fan of how using it so much can make your true face seem so weird. But xoJane got talk show host Wendy Williams to agree to do a makeunder shoot…and she looks pretty good!
It's a lot different for someone who's very being shouts abundance but she would pull this look more often. It's very relaxed and laid back. Kind of makes me like her, if that make sense. Even her tousled wig is kind of new for her but I think it looks great! But you know Wendy had something to say about that:
Wendy typically wears wigs, but we decided to have her swap the bombshell waves for something less "done." We were really pulling for something darker, black even, but Wendy wasn't into it. "I don't wear a dark wig," she said matter-of-factly, which is when she broke out the,"You're not going to play me like that." Fair enough!
Check out another shot, when you continue…

Excellent documentary, especially for those unaware of the water crisis we are deep into, along with deep denial of any problem. Scientists estimate within 50 years there will be NO snow anywhere in California. But hey, no problem!

Historian and TSHA director born in Panola County
On this day in 1888, historian and author Walter Prescott Webb was born on a farm in Panola County, Texas. His father was a schoolteacher and part-time farmer. The Webb family had moved from Mississippi to Rusk County, Texas, then to Panola and westward past the 100th meridian. The arid West Texas environment profoundly influenced the young Webb, as reflected in his later writing about the Great Plains. During his tenure as director of the Texas State Historical Association (1939-46), he expanded the Southwestern Historical Quarterly, founded the Junior Historians of Texas, and launched a project to compile an encyclopedia of Texas, published in 1952 as the original Handbook of Texas. He was also a charter member and fellow of the Texas Institute of Letters and a member of the Philosophical Society of Texas. Webb died in an automobile accident in 1963; the Walter Prescott Webb Historical Society was later founded and named in his honor. The TSHA Webb Site also bears his name.

Dobwalls hoping to cause cup shock against giants of Bodmin
Posted: February 16, 2013|
All three divisons of the Carlsberg South West Peninsula League have reduced programmes today due to the county Football Associations staging the quarter-finals of their cup competitions.
Four Peninsula West teams all meet opponents from their Premier Division in the last eight of the Cornwall Senior Cup.
Dobwalls take part in a real in a real 'David versus Goliath' cup-tie when they entertain holders Bodmin Town at Lantoom Park.
Last weekend Bodmin were losing their fifth-round FA Carlsberg Vase tie, 1-0 to Gornal Athletic, at Priory Park in front of a crowd of over 350 but they will have to refocus their attentions to the confines of Lantoom and a Dobwalls side who have a good cup record this season.
Seven various cup ties have seen Paul Andrews' side lose just once, 4-1 at Newquay in the Throgmorton Cup, which has seen them reach the last eight of the Senior Cup and the semi-finals of the Charity Cup.
The last time Dobwalls entertained Bodmin was in the second round of the Throgmorton Cup in October 2008, when Dan Tapper and Martyn Hake scored the goals that gave them a 2-2 draw, after extra time, only for Bodmin to triumph 4-2 on penalties. Unfortunately for Dobwalls, Hake misses this tie as he is still sidelined with a hamstring injury, while striker Joe Knight is cup-tied. Manager Andrews can otherwise select from the squad that won 5-2 at Porthleven in last weekend's Charity Cup quarter-final at Gala Parc.
Liskeard Athletic's fine midweek victory at St Blazey earned them a quarter-final tie at home to high-scoring West Divison outfit Helston Athletic.
The Blues will be aware that Helston are the highest scorers in the Peninsula League and in Mark Goldsworthy and Liam Eddy have two of the most prolific strikers in the league with the pair sharing 60 goals between them in all competitions this season.

Critical Essay by Alex Kuo
SOURCE: "Introduction," in The Business of Fancydancing: Stories and Poems by Sherman Alexie, Hanging Loose Press, 1992, p. v.
In the essay below, Kuo describes the wide range of cultural references in Alexie's prose and verse.
Sherman Alexie's territory, as he describes in these forty poems and five stories [in The Business of Fancydancing], ranges from the All-Indian Six-Foot-And-Under Basketball Tournament to ESPN to the politics of geography and family to powwows to Indians "not drinking enough." Alexie's work has escaped the pervasive influence of writing workshops, academic institutions and their subsidized intellect, and has instead focused on reservation and border realities in his eastern section of Washington state.
Central to this landscape inhabited by family, friends, and a wild coterie of reservation cops, seers, Buffalo Bills, Crazy Horses, and of course, fancydancers, is the absence of self-indulgence. The characters in Alexie's work have actual identities whose faces have shadows that suggest other histories. The visionary Seymour and Simon, for example, travel forward and backward in time with dreams that sustain the narrator—often, they are Crazy Horse dreams and do not work, but sometimes they do, in a fancydance that suggests an existence beyond the survival of life's pain and contradictions.
Throughout this collection, there is an emphasis on balancing carefully, and a willingness to forgive, as in the subsistence forays into the sestina in "Spokane Tribal Celebration, September, 1987," and "The Business of Fancydancing." The history these stories and poems remember goes beyond the individual; it is the healing that attends the collective space and distance of both writer and reader, which will hopefully "make everything work / so everyone can fly again." Here, on a long jumpshot arcing into the distance, there is enough light to push back the darkness for several generations to come.

Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP, also called TRACP) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) are osteoclast and osteoblast enzyme markers, respectively, that are involved in bone metabolism. Takara's TRAP & ALP Assay Kit allows for the simultaneous detection of both ACP (acid phosphatase) and ALP (alkaline phosphatase) enzymes via pNPP (p-nitro-phenyl phosphate) substrate. The addition of tartaric acid into the ACP assay allows for differentiation of TRAP from ALP activity. Because the TRAP and ALP Assay Kit utilizes an aqueous substrate, quantification of enzyme activities can be accomplished quickly by measuring the absorbance of the reactant. An alternative option is the TRAP & ALP Double-Stain Kit (Cat. #MK300), which contains a non-soluble substrate suitable for simultaneous cell staining of alkaline and acid phosphatase activities. Either kit may be selected depending on user interest.

Register now for the 8th annual MobileBeat, July 13-14, where the best and brightest will be exploring the latest strategies and tactics in the mobile space. HotelQuickly has raised $1.15 million to cement its position in Asia. HotelQuickly is a same-day hotel booking app that focuses on markets in the Asia-Pacific. It takes a similar approach to HotelTonight, a company that pioneered the mobile same-day hotel booking model in 2011. Both companies offer curated sets of hotel deals every day at noon. If you need a hotel room on-the-fly, these apps will present you with unsold rooms at steep discounts that you can book through your smartphone. HotelTonight is a much bigger company. It is now active in 120 destinations and in 12 countries around North America and Europe. It works with 3,000 hotels and has 6 million users and recently locked down $45 million to expand in Eastern and Northern Europe, as well as Asia and Latin America. The Asia Pacific region is a tourist hot spot, as well as a hot market for mobile technology. Smartphone penetration, mobile Internet infrastructure, and social media adoption are all increasing rapidly. HotelQuickly founder Christian Mischler told VentureBeat that people in the region adapt to technology very quickly, going from "zero to mobile," and a rising middle class combined with affordable transportation are fueling a robust tourism industry. Hong Kong-based HotelQuickly is striving to gain dominance in Asia before HotelTonight can get there. It is now active in 11 countries in the Asian Pacific and works with 400 partner hotels in 40 destinations. It has 150,000 downloads. Angel investors made up this round, including Boon Hwee Koh, the former chairman of Singtel and Singapore Airlines. HotelQuickly is available on iPhone, Android, and Blackberry.

NAACP Oklahoma received complaint that Tulsa GOP is discriminating against black republicans. Apparently Tulsa GOP chairman – Michael McCutchin has made it difficult for black republicans to attend precinct meetings by moving the locations outside of their area. It is believed the intent is to alienate black republicans from becoming precinct officers and to discourage black republicans in that district from becoming voting members at the state convention. The NAACP letter states in part:
"According to Tulsa GOP Chairman, Michael McCutchin, any North Tulsa Precincts chosen a neighborhood location that disadvantaged citizens could walk to and feel safe & comfortably received in, would be banished from the county convention as a punishment for exercising their precinct's will".

FetchXML Builder for Microsoft CRM
Every now and then, I come across a developer utility that's worth mentioning. The utility might not be new or even great, but its a tool that I'm able to put to use somewhere to solve a problem or just assist in the problem solving.
The FetchXML Builder by James Downey is a great tool because it is one of those niche utilities that speeds up development time and helps the developer (me). The FetchXML Builder is a query-builder like tool used for creating FetchXML requests for Microsoft CRM.
So unless, you're a CRM developer, you probably won't find this as cool as I do.
Halo: The Fall of Reach (Book Review)
I wasn't too familiar with the Halo series until last year when I played Halo for the first time. I knew it was a FPS (first person shooter) and knew that it involved running around and shooting aliens, much like most other FPS games. Since FPS games weren't my speciality, I had never spent much time playing or reading about Halo.
After I purchased Halo III, I was able to complete the game and learn a little more about the Halo setting. The game was fun and a bit challenging at times. However, since I don't have a XBOX Gold membership I wasn't able to play online versus other players - who probably would have easily killed me anyway.
A few months after playing the game, I noticed the Halo book series at a local bookstore. I thought it might be interesting, but I didn't think about the book series until almost a year later. After bringing only one book to read on my flight, I had finished it and needed a new book for my return flight. So I picked up the first book of the Halo series (Halo: The Fall of Reach) by Eric Nylund. The book is just over 7 years old.
The Year 2038 Bug (January 19, 2038)

The Y2K (Year 2000) bug was due using two digits to manage the year value. For example, 99 represented 1999 and 00 represented 1900. Although, this was more of a data error since the servers and computers uses a different method to track time.

GMOs: What's In Our Food?
Submitted by Organizational Champion, The Monadnock Food Co-op
Whether it's trans fats, salt or genetically modified organisms, people should know what's in their food, said Gary Hirshberg, chairman of Stonyfield Farm. Furthermore, until the federal government takes up the issue of labeling products with genetically modified organisms (GMOs), also called genetically engineered foods, it's up to the states to lead the way, he told at least 500 people gathered at The Colonial Theatre for "GMOs — What's in our Food?" in Keene on Sunday, January 12th.
What are genetically modified organisms, or GMOs? GMO's are plants and animals whose genetic makeup has been altered in a way that doesn't happen in nature, he said. "It's a specific technology of moving genes from one species to another that can't be done naturally."
"Foods made with GMOs began appearing on the market in 1996 and the verdict is still out as to whether genetically engineered foods are safe to eat", says Hirshberg. "However, until scientists sort things out, consumers should know what they're buying".
Besides being chairman of Stonyfield Farm in Londonderry, Hirshberg is also a leader in the Just Label It campaign.
One of the issues Just Label It is advocating for is the testing of genetically engineered foods for any health or environmental effects by companies independent of those patenting the organisms. The group is also asking for testing to be done over the long-term. Just Label It isn't against genetically engineered foods, but is for people knowing what is in the food they eat. "Neither I nor Just Label It are anti-GE," he said. "Clearly there is a place for it."
"Regardless of whether genetically engineered foods have negative health effects, one hazard that has become evident is the overuse of herbicides on crops that are genetically engineered to withstand the chemicals", says Gary.
"Before genetically engineered crops became widely available, farmers would use herbicides sparingly, and by doing so, the chemicals were effective. In recent years, herbicides have become less effective due to overuse, and are resulting in "superweed" species, and insects that are resistant to the chemicals, he said. As a result, companies are looking to make crops resistant to stronger herbicides, which can be dangerous."
Hirshberg encouraged those in attendance Sunday to contact their local legislators about the bill seeking to mandate labeling of food that is genetically engineered. While some legislators have voiced support for the bill, others, including state Rep. Tara Sad, D-Walpole, chairwoman of the Environment and Agriculture Committee, have expressed concerns.
Sad said last week "labeling genetically engineered foods should be the responsibility of the federal government because of interstate commerce." Additionally, there is the potential New Hampshire could be sued for forcing companies to label genetically engineered foods, and that such labeling could scare consumers away from buying products made with the organisms, she said. She added that if she was certain GMOs were harmful, she would vote for the bill.
Hirshberg noted Connecticut and Maine have already passed similar bills, with the enactment of both bills dependent upon other states in the region also establishing labeling laws, to build regional support for the measure. Vermont is also considering a food labeling bill, he said.
Visit the Just Label It website to see what you can do about supporting GMO mandatory labeling.

Irene received her Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Almeria (UAL), Spain, in 2006. After that, she worked as a research assistant for the Neuroscience Department (UAL) where she had the opportunity to gain experience in neuropsychological assessments of clinical adult patients (rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, epileptic and cardiac patients), children and elderly people. During this time she developed her interest for the human brain.
In 2009, she obtained a three-year researching scholarship. Nowadays, she is completing a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience under the guidance of Associate Professors Juan García and Lola Roldán-Tapia. Irene is investigating cognitive reserve, its measurement and its contribution to the delay of cognitive impairment in both clinical and healthy people. This interesting field drove her to spend two research visits with the Regenerative Neuroscience Group. Under the supervision of Associate Professor Michael Valenzuela she assisted with the study and analysis of the Lifetime of Experiences Questionnaire based on the two waves of the Memory and Ageing Study. The link to the RNG continues! She describes her experience in Sydney as a great enrichment, both professionally and personally.
Listening to music, travelling, learning how to play chess and gazing at artistic creations are some of her favorite pastimes.

Tales of the West II - Custom Action Figure Contest!
Contest Winners:
View Contest Entries
Grab your six shooters and put on your best 10 gallon hat, it's time to saddle up and ride! The goal of this contest is to create a custom of a 'Western' character. This can be an existing character or person, making your own character or you can go the 'Elseworlds' route and give a normal character the Western treatment.
-Everyone from Yosemite Sam to Doc Holiday is fair game, the whole of the West is open for this contest. Westerns are more than just cowboys and Indians, also keep in mind there are law men, barmaids, poker players, preachers, undertakers, bounty hunters, gunslingers, bartenders, miners and railroad conductors. Listed below are some resources to get your juices flowing.
Film & TV
-Genre crossovers are allowed as long as a Western theme is clearly evident. Bravestar, Westworld or Firefly would be good examples of Western crossovers.
-As always there are no size restrictions for this contest. You may use any sort of materials, parts, tools or techniques that you wish. Whatever gets the job done.
What are the rules of the contest?
It's hard to choose just one custom to vote on when there are tons of great entries, so Figure Realm has a unique voting system where you can vote on ALL the customs! When you click on an entry to view, there's a bar with buttons on it that lets you give the custom anywhere from 1 to 5 Stars. 1 Star means you think they could have done a better job on the custom while 5 Stars means you think they did a perfect job. The votes for each entry are added up when voting is closed and averaged-out to determine the winners. Also, don't abuse the system. Don't give your own custom 5 Stars and then give everyone else 1 Star to boost your rating. Remember, the votes are monitored.
Some points you might consider when casting your vote: Is the figure well-made? Is the paint smooth or crusty? Are there noticeable fingerprints on the sculpted parts? Is it an original custom? Is it accurate to the source-material (comics, photos, description in a book)? Are the pictures clear enough to see the details? Did the creator take the time to include a back-story or recipe? Is the custom so unbelievably awesome that you'd trade your girlfriend for it?
Craftsmanship and creativity are major factors to consider, but ultimately your vote should depend on how much you like the custom, and how well you feel it fits the contest theme.

Health Care Reform Noise
You can be forgiven if this week's noise on health care reform in Washington has left you confused, confounded and befuddled. It's gotten messy and little is getting done.
I have given up tracking the different proposals being issued from various committees and subcommittees of both the House and the Senate, and more are threatened to be forthcoming from individual and groups of legislators. Everybody in Congress has a plan that everyone else opposes and the din is ear-splitting.
The Public Option
The public option, a government insurance plan to compete with private plans, was almost shot down by White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel in an interview with the Wall Street Journal this week:
"The goal is to have a means and a mechanism to keep the private insurers honest," he said. "The goal is non-negotiable; the path is negotiable."
"The path," also referred to as the trigger, in the public plan
"would kick in," explained the WSJ, "under certain circumstances when competition was judged to be lacking. Exactly what circumstances would trigger the option would have to be worked out."
Emanuel's apparent back pedaling from one of the president's central goals for health care reform was so off the mark that Obama felt obliged to take time from the G8 summit in Moscow to slap down his aide even though his statement, quoted in The New York Times, was tepidly less than specific:
"...one of the best ways to bring down costs, provide more choices, and assure quality is a public option that will force the insurance companies to compete and keep them honest. I look forward to a final product that achieves these very important goals."
The public option is supported by 72 percent of Americans in a recent CBS News/New York Times poll, and by 69 percent in a Quinnipiac survey. The biggest landslide in a presidential election history was the 61.1 percent of the popular vote given to Lyndon Johnson in 1964. By that standard, support for the public option is tsunami. It's time for Congress to put it writing and move on to the next reform issue.
Health Industry "Agreements"
On Wednesday, Vice President Joe Biden trumpeted an agreement between the White House and the country's hospitals for the industry to contribute $155 billion in health care savings over the next ten years. "Historic," said Biden, echoing President Obama's description of big pharma's similar pledge a couple of weeks ago to cut drug costs by $80 billion over ten years.
The hospital contribution would reduce federal payments to hospitals, but one catch is that several legislators have said they have no obligation to include these White House agreements in health care legislation. Another, specific to the hospital agreement, was pointed out on NPR by Richard Kirsch of Health Care for America Now, a consumer group working for a health overhaul bill.
Because a significant part of the money being pledged currently goes to help pay for care of uninsured patients, he explained, hospitals would need less money anyway once health care reform kicks in and most people are insured.
So the pledges, which are minuscule compared to the estimated cost of one to two trillion dollars over ten years that Congress is wrestling with, are mostly PR - an appearance of sacrifice by the health professions in hopes of "purchasing" as weak a reform bill as possible.
Tax Surcharges and Taxing Health Care Benefits
Another reform issue is the proposal to tax employer-provided coverage and separately, to enact a tax surcharge on salaries of $250,000 and more to help pay for health care reform. These are contentious issues and there is not much clarity yet. We'll have to wait and see.
Personally, I would rather see the cap on the Social Security deduction eliminated and there won't be much chance for that if there is already a benefit tax and surcharge.
Rationed Care and Bureaucratic Health Decisions
Meanwhile, there are dueling commercials on television and radio over what conservatives call rationed care and over their warning that government bureaucrats will be making people's health care decisions if a public option is included. These are red herrings meant to scare and distract people.
We already have rationed care in the United States – rationed by money rather than need: if you are rich, you have coverage; if you are poor, you don't. I like Michael Kinsley's take on rationed care:
"Here is a handy-dandy way to determine whether the failure to order some exam or treatment constitutes rationing: If the patient were the president, would he get it? If he'd get it and you wouldn't, it's rationing."
And, we already have bureaucrats making our health care decisions – corporate bureaucrats whose jobs are to deny every claim possible and cancel coverage if you dare use your coverage. After three years of experience with Medicare, I'll take government bureaucrats over corporate ones in a heartbeat.
Paying for health care reform to cover all Americans is a complex and valid issue that our lawmakers need to figure out. I don't envy them. But all the rest of the noise – all of it – is driven by the largest insurers, medical groups, pharmaceutical companies and hospitals attempting to retain as much of the current system as possible to maintain their profits and control.
They have hired 350 lobbyists and are spending $1.4 million per day to sway our representatives (many of whom got elected through the same corporations' large political donations) to their cause. It is not cynical, in these circumstances, to wonder who speaks for the American people.
Well, no one except for a few underfunded consumer groups who cannot compete with the Midas-rich health corporations.
But this is our only chance for meaningful health care reform. If it fails now, it will be another 15 years, as it has been since the Clinton health care initiative, before it comes up again. In our current, dismal economic circumstance, which will not end soon, that would be a disaster for additional millions of people piled on top of the already-uninsured 47 million. There is no overstating how crucial this legislation is.
So it is up to each of us individually to speak out, to flood Washington with the people's point of view. Write and phone your senators and representative. But don't stop there. Contact the majority and minority leaders in each house of Congress. The committee chairs and members. And don't stop. Keep doing it. Again and again. Here's the link to reach all of them.

May I say AMEN! May I also add that WE have the power to make change. Rest assured those that do NOT want health reform will be extremely vocal.
Take 5 minutes to click the link and email your congresspersons and tell them what you think. Put it in your blog. Let's set a date where every person who knows and reads Ronni's blog, does a blog on health care reform. If you are not comfortable writing one, link to Ronni's post.
If you have a Twitter account, put the link to your/Ronni's blog on health care reform.
I would use President Obama's cmapaign theme: Time for Change is NOW. We are many in numbers. Think of what we could do if we united in one voice on one day.
My wants are quite simple...I want the same health care that my representatives in the House and Senate enjoy. Why not? They always refer to me as "my fellow American..." so why can't I be their fellow American?
And we know it must be a good and sensible plan, otherwise they wouldn't have approved it for themselves.
Amen on all points!!!
Whoo Hoo!! Good for you, Ronni. We cannot wait for the legislators, who are beholden to the health industries, to do something. It's up to us. Maybe someone should ask 'Move On' or some other organization to set up a protest in Washington. We need an Irani type protest with thousands of shouting bodies to get their attention. If the weak Nellies in Washington think they won't be re-elected no matter how much money they get from the lobbyists they might do the right thing.
Don't put it off. While you are thinking about it use Ronni's link and make your voice heard.
Without a public option, this 'reform' will be smoke and mirrors and only mean more profit for the corporate interests and more taxes on individuals. It will do nothing to keep cost down without real competition. But the powers that be do not want a public option and will grasp any excuse to avoid it.
Great idea from Nancy B and I've done it! Posted on my blog, made another call to Congressman Rangel's office. Will call Senators soon.
Most of the posting is something with which I agree. I have a problem, however, when someone suggests that "...If the patient were the president, would he get it? If he'd get it and you wouldn't, it's rationing."
1) The president isn't 71 years old. (Yes, I do think that should make a difference.)
2) He is not female. (Well, rather obviously, this makes a difference.)
3) We do not share a small percentage of our DNAs.
4) We are not in the same physical condition/do not share the same medical history.
5) The consequences of the president's health/death affect a great many more people than does the consequences of mine.
I would prefer that health care be "rationed" according to an individual's particulars - not on the basis of, "If he gets it, so do I."
I agree with what Cop Car said. I think there will have to be rationing if we are going to do this with various things considered and not always our personal wishes. I'd love to see Congress with the same insurance the rest of us have (not likely to happen) but frankly I want my president's health more protected.
The whole thing of reforming health care will be very complicated and we will never all have equal health care even economically. But we don't have equal food, education, housing, transportation, or many other things that most consider essential to life today.
One of the things that Oregon (and other states) had to face with the Oregon health plan which was intended for low income families: There have to be choices made as to who gets what procedures. Considering whether it's going to cure someone or merely extend dying is considered. Are drugs that give someone an extra four months but cost thousands of dollars a good investment? They would be to the person themselves, to their loved ones, but it is a practical issue that must be decided.
That all happens now but with insurance companies deciding it. Then it will be government. One way or the other those choices are usually made by someone other than ourselves unless we are very wealthy and can pay for it all ourselves directly. Some programs suggested in the past would make paying for your own illegal. There is a lot to consider with it
I found your post by googling my own -- as someone who has parents over 70, I heartily agree with you, Ronni! Consider my letter(s) on their way!

The computer software industry is a sub-category of the computer and Internet industry. It contains some of the biggest names in the industry such as Microsoft, Oracle and Intuit -- maker of the popular do-it-yourself TurboTax program. The software industry flourished during the tech boom and endured the bursting of tech bubble far better than many Internet-based companies that went bankrupt.
Campaign contributions from individuals and political action committees associated with the industry exploded practically overnight during the height of the tech bubble, increasing nearly four-fold from $3.6 million during the 1998 cycle to more than $14 million during the 2000 cycle. While contributions dipped near the middle of the decade to a low of $8 million during the 2006 cycle, they have since increased again.
The industry contributed more than $15 million during the 2008 campaign cycle, with two-thirds going to Democrats. By comparison, the as a whole contributed $41.4 million, with the same proportion going to Democrats.
The top contributor during the 2008 campaign cycle by far was Microsoft, with more than $3.2 million in contributions from individuals and the company's PAC. The large majority of Microsoft contributions went to Democratic politicians.
The industry's federal lobbying efforts steadily increased in between 1998 and 2007 from $11.8 million to $38.2 million, before dipping slightly to $33.2 million in 2009. Computer software lobbying accounted for less than a third of all computer and Internet industry lobbying in 2009.
The computer software industry has been slowly losing ground in recent years to the rest of the computer and Internet industry when it comes to federal lobbying. In 2005, software companies accounted for 35 percent of all computer-related lobbying. Just four years later, in 2009, that had slipped to 27 percent. The current trend is being driven by increased spending from younger Internet companies such as Google that have burst on to the scene much as the software companies did more than a decade ago.
Issues of importance to the industry include copyright and intellectual property law, as well as cybersecurity. The industry has also advocated for trade policies that help them sell software abroad.

Phoenix restaurant 'worth traveling for,' according to list
PHOENIX -- A Phoenix restaurant has made the list of "Top Restaurants Worth Traveling For," and no, it's not Pizzeria Bianco.
Flipkey traveled to all 50 states to find the singular restaurant in each one that everyone should visit.
Located on N. 5th Avenue, Cibo Urban Pizzeria Cafe was the winner for Arizona. Cibo set up shop in a restored 1913 bungalow and specializes in artisanal pizzas and housemade pastas.
Not every restaurant on the list flaunted an expensive price tag or even a mid-range one but was instead selected based on "that perfect balance of cuisine, atmosphere, and service that makes them stand out among the rest."

How is that a problem? It never stopped people from using other non-Microsoft products before. iOS, Android, etc are all "new ways" too. There's no start menu in either of those systems, and both feature touch and swipe motions.
There is a mentality difference. People use Windows at work, they know how it works. They expect it to work certain ways. People use iOS and Android knowing it's different and don't have any expectations.
iOS and Android have operated pretty much the same since launch, as had Windows from 95 -> 7 pretty much. Having to learn something new that should be old-hat is much different than learning something new that is new (nto saying 8 isn't, but it's not the same).
When I load up Visual Studio, or Outlook. I expect it to function exactly the same as previous versions. I expect to open files, open settings, add contacts exactly the same as previous versions. When I can't, I get frustrated and feel the upgrade was not necessary and I shouldn't have even bothered.
I write software for a living so I am by no means computer illiterate, and am not opposed to change. However I have more important things to do, than be helping and troubleshooting problems on an operating system/piece of software that isn't really needed, when something that is only a couple years older does everything that the current one does and in some cases better.
